It is said that in the past, there were princes and ministers who would not openly accept money from their subordinates or entrusted people, so they asked their family members to open a shop selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or simply open a few pawn shops. They put a bunch of worthless antiques and even fake paintings and calligraphy on them.

People buy them at high prices, or let them pawn priceless antiques and paintings.

But I've only heard about it, never seen it, because the current official will not refuse anyone who comes, and only hates that others give less, so he doesn't have those worries.

Yang Qinghe didn't expect to meet someone today. He thought that Mr. Han in front of him was most likely to have achieved success at a young age. He was worried about making people jealous, so he was cautious. Then he thought about the fact that the whole family was in their hometown and could not return. As long as

Agreeing to Mr. Han's conditions will not only repay the foreign debt, but also eliminate the need for

If they were worried about their future livelihood, their two sons could even join Mr. Han for a better future. His legs suddenly softened, and he knelt down with a thump and said: "Qinghe is willing, Qinghe is willing, thank Mr. Han for saving me, if not

If Mr. Han helps us, Qinghe’s whole family will really have no chance of survival.”

"What are you doing? Get up and talk." Han Xiufeng gestured to the pillar to help him up, smiled and said meaningfully: "Shopkeeper Yang, I have done maritime security inspections, acted as an agent for Taizhou Prefecture, and also served as

For most of the past six months, I have become familiar with Yangzhou City, Daqiao Town, Fairy Temple, Wanfu Bridge and other places. Listening to your accent, I feel like I am listening to the local dialect, and I feel more cordial and cordial!"

Thinking of the hometown affairs mentioned in the letter sent by his cousin last year, Yang Qinghe asked in surprise: "You are the one who led a thousand local warriors to defeat the long-haired Master Han on the east bank of Liaojia Valley!"

"Shopkeeper Yang, have you heard of me?"

"Like thunder striking through the ears, like thunder striking through the ears!" Yang Qinghe was ecstatic and said eagerly: "Master Han, Qinghe is from Daqiao Town! Not only has my brother met you, Master Han, but he also took the young people from the village across the river to the east bank to help you build a camp.

My brother said in the letter, if Mr. Han hadn't sent someone to remind him, the gentry and common people in Daqiao Town would have been screwed by Changmao!"

Han Xiufeng was doubly surprised and asked subconsciously: "Your brother once led the young men to help me build the camp. So you mean your brother is a scholar?"

"My elder brother, Yang Qinghu, is my student in Ganquan. He taught at Chunjiang Academy in the town before he became a child. Now he lives in Taizhou."

During the days when they defended the Wanfu Bridge, there were too many gentry in Daqiao Town who provided food and help in defense. It had been several years since the incident, and Han Xiufeng could not remember any of them, but he still smiled and said: "Oh, what a coincidence, I never thought

You and I actually have this abyss

Yuan! Shopkeeper Yang, there are many of your fellow countrymen in this area of ​​​​Gyeonggi Province. Master Qianli Wang, the magistrate of Zhuozhou Prefecture, is from Taizhou. There are more military attaches from Taizhou who guard the flood areas on both sides of the Yongding River. I will have the opportunity to introduce you to each other later.

"

"There are so many fellow villagers, Mr. Han. If you hadn't said it, Qinghe would have never known about it."

Han Xiufeng was about to speak when he heard rapid footsteps outside. Looking back, he saw that Fugui and Xiao Shandong were here.

"Fourth Master, Second Master and younger brothers and sisters came next! Those grandsons guarding the gate were so blind that they tried to find ways to ask for money. They didn't even bother to find out what I did before I was rich. I collected taxes at the city gate.

When they arrived, they didn’t know where to beg for food!” Fugui said with a beaming look.

"What happened next?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.

"I beat you to the point where you cried for father and mother, and even called the current assistant committee member to help them make decisions. But when I saw me and heard that my siblings are your family members, I was so frightened that I immediately apologized."

"Fourth Master, even though those tax collectors usually show off their power, they dare not offend anyone who dares to offend you, a little soldier!" Little Shandong couldn't help but laugh.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Yang Qinghe suddenly realized that Mr. Han, who had been an official in his hometown of Yangzhou, was now a "little military aircraft". He was shocked and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Han Xiufeng was in a hurry to go back to see his wife and children and had no time to "reminisce" with Yang Qinghe. He pointed at Yang Qinghe and said with a smile: "Master Fu, this is Shopkeeper Yang Qinghe. I plan to buy this 'Houyi Hall'."

Later, I plan to ask Shopkeeper Yang to take over as shopkeeper. You and Zhu Zhu will help me talk to Shopkeeper Yang, and we will make a contract after the negotiation is completed."

Fugui really couldn't figure out why Mr. Han wanted to buy this shop, but he still handed it over and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

…

After walking around a long way back to his new home, Fei Erye was very excited when he heard Fugui say that Han Si had become a "little military aircraft" when he entered the city. He followed him from the front hall to the inner house, asking how he could be promoted so quickly as he walked!

Qin'er was also very happy, but it was not because the baby's father became a "little military plane", but because the family was reunited. In fact, she didn't know what the "little military plane" did. Just like Cuihua, Yaomei

My son was busy cleaning up the house where he had lived for a few days.

The little guy was even happier, but it was not because his father became a "little military plane", but because the place he had been to was better than Gu'an. There were rockeries and pavilions in the yard, and the outside was even better than the village of Zujiachang.

lively.

Datou then asked him what to do with his errand, because Wu Tingdong had granted him ten days' leave.

"What's the rush? I'm helping you think of a solution for your errand. As for Mr. Wu... don't worry, you'll be fine if you go back a few days early or a few days late."

Although the big brain is not easy to use, it is very clear about the rules in the camp and asked anxiously: "Is everything going to be okay?"

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Mr. Fei couldn't help but laugh and said: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. In the past, your fourth brother wanted to see Wu Tingdong's face, but now your fourth brother has become a 'little military aircraft'.

Wu Tingdong has to look at your fourth brother's face. Why not return to the camp a few days late? Even if it is two or three months late, Wu Tingdong can only turn a blind eye, hahaha!"

"Then I won't go back. By the way, Fourth Brother, what kind of official is Xiao Junji? You didn't transfer the Chief Secretary to serve as a counselor, so why did you change the Yamen again?"

"It's a long story, and I can't explain it for a while. I'll tell you later." Han Xiufeng was worried that his son would fall while climbing the rockery, so he kept watching down below. He was too lazy to explain to him, because explaining

Even if it takes half a day, I may not be able to explain it clearly.

"Then where will Cuihua and I stay at night?" Datou asked again carelessly.

"Isn't this nonsense? Where else can you two live if you don't live here?"

"Okay, I'll pick a room first."

The sun was almost setting, and Datou made up his mind to accompany Cuihua "back to his parents' house" tomorrow morning, so he happily went to help clean up the house where he and Cuihua would stay that night.

Mr. Fei was about to ask how this "little military plane" was made. Accompanied by shopkeeper Wen, Ao Cexian brought Duan Dazhang's former secret friend Wang Naizeng to visit. The two accompanying family members all carried food.

Boxes and even wine were prepared, saying they were congratulations on the housewarming.

Han Xiufeng hurriedly asked Qin'er to take care of the baby, while he and Fei Erye accompanied Ao Cexian and Wang Naizeng to the flower hall to have wine. When he heard that his "brother-in-law" was coming, Datou, who had been traveling all day, hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes, and waited until he was ready.

After getting clean and wearing new clothes, I rushed to the flower hall to meet him with a grin on my face.

Ao Cexian originally accepted Cuihua as his adopted sister just to repay Han Xiufeng's favor, just like his cousin Ao Tongchen. However, after a while, he actually fell in love with Datou, a fake uncle with no good intentions. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Sit down, sit down

Eat two cups.”

"No, Cuihua is cooking inside, I...I just came to say hello." Datou looked at the table full of food and wine, licking his lips, his coquettish look made people want to laugh.

"Sit down if I give you a seat. What do you look like standing there?" Han Xiufeng raised his head and asked.

"Fourth brother, I really can't drink wine, Cuihua won't let me." Datou said with a bitter face.

Thinking that he either didn't drink or drank, but couldn't control himself when he drank, and got drunk every time, Ao Cexian couldn't help laughing and said: "Since Cuihua won't let you drink, then don't eat. You go and do your work first."

, let’s talk to your fourth brother for a while.”

"Okay, then I'll go in first..."

"Go on, remember to tell Cuihua and go back early tomorrow. Your two sisters-in-law know that you two are going back to Beijing today, and you said this morning that you haven't seen Cuihua for a long time."

"I know, I'll go with Cuihua early tomorrow morning."

He couldn't drink wine or eat meat, so Da Tou returned to the inner courtyard angrily. Looking at his reluctant look, Han Xiufeng smiled and explained: "Brother Yunqing, it's not that Xiufeng doesn't treat him as a brother.

But his wife really doesn’t dare to let him drink anymore. Think about it, he’s tall and thick and as strong as an ox. If he really gets drunk again, how can Cuihua, a pregnant woman, take care of him?”

"Yes, hahaha." Wang Naizeng couldn't help but laugh. After thinking about it, he sighed: "It's true that stupid people have stupid blessings. Who would have thought that someone like him not only has a 'little military aircraft' brother, but also two

Uncle Hanlin, you don’t have to think about anything or worry about anything, because you have all thought for him what you need to think about, and you have taken care of everything you need to worry about for him.”

"Really, I'm not afraid of Brother Yunqing's jokes. Sometimes Xiufeng really envies him."

"Zhixing, let's not talk about you, even I am a little envious, hahaha." Ao Cexian couldn't help laughing.

Han Xiufeng put down his chopsticks and returned to the topic: "You two, why are you here? Where are Brother Yongwen and Brother Bowen?"

Speaking of this, Wang Naizeng said meaningfully: "Zhixing, Zhixing, do you really not know or do you pretend not to know?"

"What do you know or don't you know?"

"The two of them, including Jiang Haoxuan and Wang Zhirong, are busy having drinks with their colleagues at the moment. There are some things that cannot be hidden at this time. For example, although the emperor and you are not in the name of teachers and students, they are actually teachers and students.

You must let those who are jealous of you know about it as soon as possible."

Han Xiufeng came to his senses and said with an apologetic expression, "I've made you worry so much."

Ao Cexian lost no time in saying: "Zhixing, I'm ashamed to say it. We were just happy for you before, but we didn't expect that your current situation seems to be very beautiful, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. If Yun Qing hadn't reminded you in time, we would have almost missed it.

event."

"Brother Yunqing, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I would like to show my respect to Xiufeng by doing it first."

"What's there to thank you for? Besides, I just gave Brother Yongwen and the others a heads-up. Seeing that you are so calm and composed, you must have thought of it and even thought about how to deal with it."

Han Xiufeng knew very well that the reason why Duan Dazhang was able to become the chief envoy of Gansu Province was because of the contribution of the person in front of him. Then he thought that there was indeed a lack of an aide who could help with planning. He stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "Brother Yunqing, the official is as good as he is today."

In this situation, Xiufeng is really walking on thin ice, I wonder if Brother Yunqing is willing to help Xiufeng?"

If he was just a friend of the secretariat, Wang Naizeng would have a better place to go. Based on his experience of assisting Duan Dazhang from the prefect to the chief envoy of Gansu Province, it would not be difficult to make a living there. In fact, when he first returned to Beijing,

He once worked as a secret friend of the great scholar Zhou Zupei for more than a month. However, no matter how highly regarded by his employer, he was still just a secret friend. It was not that easy to become an official through this.

Thinking of Yun Qijun, Jiang Zhengxin, Cui Hao and others he had met at the Chongqing Guild Hall in the afternoon, Wang Naizeng truly realized that Han Xiufeng's holy love was not the slightest bit strong. He thought that if he was Han Xiufeng's secret friend, even if he met in two years

Even if you fail in the exam, you can still get an official position with Han Si's help.

More importantly, I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, and I can only live comfortably here with Han Xiufeng.

Seeing Han Xiufeng's sincere face, Wang Naizeng pretended to hesitate and said half-jokingly: "Zhixing, I'm used to spending a lot of money. Even though your uncle receives 1,600 taels of flowers every year, it's just not enough money."

."

Han Xiufeng had seen how he helped Duan Dazhang plan when he came to Beijing with Duan Dazhang three years ago. He knew that his secret friend was not just helping to draft the memorial. If it were really about being an official, Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei, Ao Tongchen

Even all his fellow villagers put together are not as good as him.

Thinking that it was not easy to invite a secret friend like him, let alone an outsider who knew the truth, Han Xiufeng once again handed over his hand and said: "Brother Yunqing, Xiufeng is so thirsty for talents that he doesn't care about the false courtesy. As long as Brother Yunqing is willing to help, Shu Xiu

It's easy to say, Xiufeng is willing to pay two thousand taels!"

Two thousand taels per year is sincerity enough!

You must know that Zhou Zupei is so stingy that he is only willing to give three hundred taels a year. But then again, Zhou Zupei has a high position and the people who want to curry favor with him are like the ministers across the river. Not to mention giving three hundred taels a year, even if he only gives one hundred taels, there will be competition.

Effectiveness of each other.
