Chapter Seventy-Four: Beiliang's Family


A small Qingcang City, the moment can be described as full of brilliance, not only the Beiliang Xu Fengnian Xu Longxiang brothers are there, I heard that there is also an additional Liyang Dynasty has never set up a deputy envoy, in the twilight, before the city ban, there is a mighty horse team into Qingcang, the escort cavalry turned out to be from the Weishui camp, this must be only with the Xu family married to the "imperial relatives" on the Beiliang Road, will have the privilege of treatment, either the Qingzhou family Lu family is out of the Lin family of the God of Wealth.

Sure enough, Liu Zhen, who was in charge of welcoming the Liuzhou classics, saw Wang Linquan's tall figure, dusty and servant, originally Liu Zhen was still a little apprehensive, after all, Wang Linquan was a pawn who carried the flag for the general, and was a cronie among his cronies, and now he has become the old man of King Xinliang, and he is a powerful person of the "Two Dynasties", where does he dare to take a stand in front of such a famous person, but Wang Linquan is very easy to speak, although he did not deliberately warm up his words, but his eyes are full of sincerity, which makes Liu Zhen's heart feel a little more comfortable, Liu Zhen had heard before, the two cross-river dragons in Beiliang were both from Qingzhou, the Lu family led by the great writer Lu Dongjiang was extremely difficult to serve, and Wang Linquan, the richest man in Qingzhou who was born in Beiliang, was thoughtful, and there were never rumors that the Lin family's subordinates were bullying, and now I saw with my own eyes that Liu Zhen believed seven or eight points.

Wang Linquan was led by Liu Zhen to a Yajing Courtyard in the north of the Old Dragon King's Mansion, there was no strict guard with swords and halberds along the way, and Wang Linquan, who had a vicious eye, began to have a little pimple in his heart, and felt that Yang Guangdou, the master of the assassin history, was too distracted, but he was quickly relieved, and when today, there are several masters who dare to come to show off their martial arts in front of King Beiliang However, after Wang Linquan and Liu Zhen crossed the courtyard gate, they saw the scene in front of them, looked at each other, and saw that the young vassal king was sitting on the steps, rolling up his sleeves, washing his younger brother Xu Longxiang's hair, and the young commander of the 30,000 dragon elephant iron horsemen squatted on the lower two stone steps, pouted his buttocks, and bowed his head towards the water basin.

Liu Zhen didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly said goodbye, Xu Fengnian held Xu Longxiang's hair in one hand, and smeared his younger brother with local materials of local pancreas with the other, after seeing the old man, he could only raise his elbow to signal Wang Linquan to sit beside him, Xu Longxiang turned his head and grinned, it was a meeting gift, Wang Linquan was inevitably flattered, in Beiliang, the little prince didn't have a warm face to anyone, even on his second sister Xu Weixiong's side, there were few smiling faces.

Xu Fengnian said casually while washing Xu Longxiang's hair: "The big and small businesses in Liuzhou can only be handed over to Uncle Wang, I can rest assured, gossip will definitely not be less, some people will say that I am nepotistic, that I fell into the eyes of money, only care about the Xu family's money bag, regardless of the great cause of Beiliang Qianqiu, otherwise even if it is a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives, why only reuse the Wang family, but ignore the talented Lu family here, others can't see clearly, your Uncle Wang must know that the Lu family has been since the death of Lu Feiqi of Shangzhu Kingdom, Lu Dongjiang can't support the Lu family for the time being, our Lu Bao Lu everyone, after entering the cold, first asked for officials for the children of the Lu family, after being rejected by his daughter Lu Chengyan, then he began to compete with others for the position of the leader of the Northern Liang literary circle, not idle for a moment, I can't say anything, can only be tossed by him, as long as he does not cross the line, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on this side of Qingliang Mountain, there will always be a place for their Lu family. ” Wang Linquan sighed and didn't say anything.

Although the Xu family, the Lu family and his Wang family are already grasshoppers on a rope, with the same root of honor and disgrace, but it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and the Lu family can't take a long-term view, he Wang Linquan can't go to Lu Dongjiang to make irresponsible remarks, and the Lu family is a well-known scholar, one is more arrogant than the other, and he will never take him in his eyes as a copper-smelling businessman.

The two families of King Lu were able to sit on an equal footing in Beiliang because of their respective daughters, and the Wang family didn't feel anything, and the Lu family, who was acting on behalf of the eunuchs, was ashamed.

Xu Fengnian helped dry his younger brother's hair, looked up at Wang Linquan, who was always cramped and uneasy, and asked with a smile: "What, Uncle Wang, you don't know me anymore."

Wang Linquan smiled softly and bitterly: "Lord Wang, the little girl has always been ignorant of human feelings in early winter, and now she went to the academy to fool around, it is really unorthodox, and the prince must not be soft when he should beat and scold her." ” Xu Fengnian quipped: "Then I'm reluctant, I don't know how others marry wives, anyway, our Xu family has never had the rules of hiding women at home, Uncle Wang, have you seen my mother, Xu Xiao dares?"

Wang Linquan laughed heartily and said: "The prince said that he was joking, the princess is a rare strange woman in the world, how dare the little girl be compared with the princess, the general respects the princess, and the princess deserves it." ” Xu Fengnian raised his cuffs and wiped his face indiscriminately, and asked: "Uncle Wang, if you don't want to talk about Xu Xiao's past, he chats with me and Huang Man'er, and always likes to pick up his heroic deeds, every time I ask about those famous defeats, he always avoids talking about them." ” Wang Linquan nodded, stunned for a moment, probably reminiscing about the past eventful years, once immersed in it, he couldn't extricate himself, most of the old people in the years are like this, recalling the past is like opening a yellowed old book and reading those old stories.

Wang Linquan sat on the steps and looked at the empty courtyard, and began to say that the bloody battles that almost made Xu Jiajun fall and almost never got up again, those battlefield opponents who made Xu Xiao suffer a lot back then, are now no one cares, and most of them have not been written in the official history, including the two generals of the old Liyang Dynasty, who joined forces to set Xu Xiao, Wang Linquan said that it was a hand-to-hand alley rain battle, Xu Xiao was just a captain at the time, and entered the city with six hundred elites under his command, and the result was three thousand foot soldiers, In the end, only forty-six people, including Xu Xiao, escaped from the city, which was nothing, and the two generals finally regarded the heads of the Xu family's soldiers as rebels, and reported to the court to receive military merits, and the court allowed them.

In just one year, Xu Xiao led his private troops to level the two feudal towns that were nominally subordinate to the Zhao family.

When Xu Xiao was the most destitute, in fact, he was no different from the wandering bandits, the court did not pay the army, and the local officials regarded it as an enemy, so they could only cut the path and loot, but try not to hurt people, and they would quietly write down their surnames after taking people's property, after Xu Xiao was on the rise, those who were robbed of property and grain and grass by the Xu family were all rewarded with a good return, including the Liu family of Chishui County, which was almost ranked among the ministers, was just robbed by Xu Xiao of goods worth more than two hundred taels, which was insignificant to the Liu family, but if it wasn't for Xu Xiao to speak, Once the Liu family ascends to the legend of the ministers, it will really be a catastrophe for the fifth generation of the gentleman.

Wang Linquan said and spoke, his eyes were red, but he said with a smile: "I remember the time when I decided to fight Western Chu, many people in the army had great opinions on the arrangement of troops in the imperial court, and they all felt that they wanted to fight Western Chu led by Ye Baikui, and they were so intrigued, this battle had no need to be fought at all, our Xu family army had been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and there was no reason to be at the forefront and die."

At that time, there were several old generals who had been knighted and shouted the most fiercely, at that time it was really people's hearts floating and the army was unstable, Xu Xiao talked to them once, I was the general's personal soldier, I guarded the camp tent, I remember very clearly, the quarrel was very strong, anyway, after that, most of these generals returned to Tai'an City, and there were few left, and then Chu Du protected Yuan Commander and Yan Wenluan Wei Tieshan, a group of people who were still young and strong at that time, were all ordered to be in danger and became generals.

Not only is the court not optimistic about us, in fact, their own people are also bottomless, fortunately, Chu Duhu and Yuan Tong took the lead in fighting a few hard battles and won a few hard battles, winning that is called an unbelievable, Wang Linquan has also seen a few old people who quit the Xu family army near Qingzhou over the years, plus many Xu family veterans who had to quit the army due to injury, I found it very interesting, those who did not pay much but clearly benefited, but did not know how to be grateful, and liked to often say bad things about Beiliang, yin and yang.

And those veterans who have paid a lot but have always been nameless, but do not ask for anything in return, for so many years, they have been saying good things about the general, back then, people were soft-spoken, and no one wanted to listen to their chatter. ” Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "At present, the situation in Beiliang is similar, in fact, the reason is not complicated, many people are businessmen in nature, and they pay attention to self-interest in everything they do, making friends, being officials, marrying children and grandchildren, singing poems and songs, etc., they all have a clear account book in their hearts, but this kind of person is still a minority after all." ” Xu Fengnian smiled and said indifferently: "Because I have never paid, I don't care." ” Wang Linquan said with emotion: "If the prince can think like this, I am relieved." ” Xu Fengnian helped Xu Longxiang wash his hair, helped tie his hair, stood up and poured out the basin of water.

Wang Linquan, the God of Wealth, still has a lot of affairs waiting for him to decide, so he will no longer stay here.

Xu Fengnian looked at the back of the old man leaving the courtyard, and thought to himself that it seemed that it was time to pick a good day and marry a concubine.

Otherwise, if it drags on like this, the Wang and Lu families, who can still keep the well water from the river, may have to speak ill of each other and quarrel back and forth, and in the end, it is still his son-in-law who is not human inside and out.

A Wang Linquan is kind-hearted, which does not mean that the entire Wang family behind him is simple, and although the Lu family seems to have caused a lot of jokes and farces to Qingliangshan for the time being, but in the future, Beiliang has to rely on this in-law Lu family to deal with the scholars in the jurisdiction, Xu Fengnian stood on the top of the steps with a wooden basin, and laughed at himself: "They are all businessmen who are calculating." ” Xu Longxiang stood beside his brother, and a slight green stubble had already appeared on the young man's mouth, thin or thin, but he was also much taller.

Xu Fengnian was about to say something to Huang Man'er that had been backlogged in his heart for many years, when the green and white falcon in the air sprinted and fell, bringing a concise and concise secret letter with two messages on it.

Nearly 100 Qi practitioners of the Nanhai Guanyin Sect have entered the territory of Lingzhou.

On the rivers and lakes, a hundred horses of the Wu family's sword mound suddenly appeared, and went straight to Beiliang.
