Chapter 156: Zhao Xueniang
According to the etiquette and ethics of this era, don't look at the lack of a surname, the distance of the relationship is like a world of difference.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that the Zhao family had not seen him, at least on the surface, treating him as their own.
The so-called world friends, the good of the family, is nothing more than that, even the wives and sons who are not light to meet people come out to meet, don't mention the heat.
Li Zhongyi looked at the milk doll Zhao Dezhao, who looked white and red, very cute, and couldn't help but hold him in his arms and stuffed a small object into his hand.
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Zhao Kuangyin saw the small object clearly, couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly stopped it.
Zhao Pu's eyes were sharp, and he could see clearly at a glance that it was a jade pendant that was pure and white without a single flaw. In the middle of this jade pendant, an eye-catching 100,000 taels are engraved.
Zhao Pu, who heard Zhao Kuangyin talk about this small object, couldn't help but gasp, no matter who it is, as long as he takes this jade pendant to the market in Xiaoyaojin, he can exchange it for 100,000 yuan, or various goods worth 100,000 yuan.
Li Zhongyi's shot was so generous, even Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect it at all.
"Hehe, I'm an uncle, I'm too anxious to go out, and I don't bring anything good, Dezhao, I take a trick on weekdays, it doesn't matter if I break it, my uncle still has it here." Li Zhongyi coaxed Zhao Dezhao, then turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a smile, "How can there be a reason for the small objects sent out by the elders to be recovered?" β
"Alas, sir, it's too expensive to deserve it." Zhao Kuangyin also knew Li Zhongyi's temper and the gifts he gave out. There is really no reason for people to take it back.
Zhao Pu saw all the scenes in front of him, and he nodded secretly. This Li is a very humane person.
When Li Zhongyi first came to Kaifeng, Murong Yanzhao sent a big house, Zhao Kuangyin's family had a big business, and he was short of money, so he also scraped together 20,000 or 30,000 yuan to congratulate him on settling down.
Now, Li Zhongyi has made a move. is a return gift of 100,000 yuan, obviously remembering the friendship of the Zhao family to help in time.
At the beginning of the banquet, everyone sat in a circle around Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du pulled Li Zhongyi and sat beside her.
The Zhao family is a family of military generals, and it is not as particular as the Confucian scholars, and after a tour of wine, the originally quiet dining room. Mrs. Du's hearty laughter sounded: "No blame." The so-called wine here in the old body was still obtained by Tingyi from you, and it can only be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. β
Li Zhongyi arched his hand and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my aunt, my little nephew has always been greedy, and he is a good drinker, so he covets these things of enjoyment on weekdays." β
"Money is such a thing, you can't do it without it. Too much is not enough. As soon as Mrs. Du said this, it immediately attracted Li Zhongyi's great attention.
"Thank you, aunt, for the point. The trading on Xiaoyaojin's side, in fact, the royal family has shares. "Li Zhongyi can't leak too much, between these smart people, they just need to point to the end, and the other party will understand.
Sure enough, Mrs. Du nodded with a smile and said, "It's very good to deal with it like this, and the old body will be relieved." β
Zhao Pu, who was sitting on the side, nodded secretly, admiring Mrs. Du's good methods very much, with such heartfelt words, which outsider would remind Li Zhongyi in time?
If you are an ordinary person, you should have entered the middle school, but Li Zhongyi is a little special, and Zhao Pu is not sure how to eat it, does the surname Li eat this set?
After the banquet was over, Mrs. Du led Li Zhongyi into the back garden of the Zhao family, admiring the strange flowers and plants, and caring about Li Zhongyi's personal situation.
Zhao Pu thought to himself, with Mrs. Du's status as the ancestor of the Zhao family, she attaches so much importance to Li Zhongyi, which can be said to have given enough face, and the surname Li should know gratitude, right?
The group walked into the depths of the garden, and suddenly there was a woman's laughter in front of them, Li Zhongyi subconsciously stopped, he was a foreign man, how could he disturb the female relatives of the Zhao family?
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "It must be Erniang who is naughty again, let's go over and take a look." β
Since Mrs. Du had spoken, Li Zhongyi couldn't say anything, so he had to continue to move forward.
When I got closer, I saw a red-clothed girl with pink cheeks and snowy skin sitting on a swing, dancing and floating in the wind.
"Xue Niang, don't patronize and play, come and meet your blameless brother." Mrs. Du smiled and beckoned, calling the woman in red.
Li Zhongyi saw very clearly that this woman in red named Xue Niang was really worthy of her name, only to see that her pink face was snow-white and delicate, and her exposed skin was as white as jade.
This Xue Niang's age is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and it seems that she should be Zhao Kuangyin's younger sister.
"My little sister has seen Brother Wujiao." This Xue Niang didn't recognize her life, and listened to Mrs. Du's instructions, and squatted down and saluted Li Zhongyi generously.
Li Zhongyi hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and returned the salute and said, "Don't be so polite to the lady." β
Mrs. Du glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was a little in a hurry, and said with a smile: "No blame, and my own sister, you don't have to say anything else, they are all family." β
In a sense, with the friendship between Li Zhongyi and Zhao Kuangyin, it is not an exaggeration for Mrs. Du to say this.
In this era, the atmosphere is still civilized, and the confinement of women is far from being comparable to Cheng Zhu Lixue's reign.
It is not surprising that a woman dies her husband and remarries someone else.
Not to mention, the queen of Guo Wei, the Taizu of this dynasty, is the concubine of the Later Tang Dynasty who was dismissed.
Moreover, Queen Dafu, who has just collapsed, Chai Zongxun's mother-in-law, used to be someone else's wife.
"Brother Wujiao, can you bring a gift?" Zhao Xueniang actually stretched out her hand in front of Li Zhongyi, with an innocent face, like a child who has not grown up, obviously spoiled.
Li Zhongyi looked a little embarrassed, before he came, he deliberately put a lot of gadgets in his pocket, but this Zhao Xueniang is a woman, so it's not easy to give gifts!
Mrs. Du may have seen Li Zhongyi's embarrassment, so she smiled and said: "This dead girl likes to play tricks on people the most, so don't blame her." β
"Mother's ......" Zhao Xueniang plunged into Mrs. Du's arms, twisting the candy like a coquettish, "Giggles, people are just teasing my brother, hehe, he looks like a very shrewd person, but who knows that he is a goose." β
Li Zhongyi only felt that his head had swelled to eight big, this Zhao Xueniang was really not an ordinary elf eccentric, in the future, no matter who married her, she would have a headache to death.
"Erniang, don't be so unreasonable to Mr." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but teach Zhao Xueniang a lesson, she was really unpleasant.
"Hehe, Da Jiangdong goes to the waves, the eternal romantic characters, I think it's just like that!" Zhao Xueniang was obviously not afraid of Zhao Kuangyin's elder brother shaking his majesty, and chanted Li Zhongyi's famous work at the Jiangnan Literary Conference, and at the end, he was whipped up.
Mrs. Du glanced at Li Zhongyi, who was a little embarrassed, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xue Niang......" The tone dragged on for a long time.
"Hmph, it's not fun, I'm going to swing." The lawless Zhao Xueniang actually left Li Zhongyi on the spot in front of her mother and brother, turned around and ran away.
If Li Zhongyi still suspected that the Zhao family intended to arrange this meeting, then he has now dispelled his only remaining doubts.
Zhao Xueniang, who is so naΓ―ve and spoiled, is really not suitable to be the protagonist of the conspiracy.
After walking around the garden, Mrs. Du went back to her room to rest, while Zhao Kuangyin brothers and Zhao Pu accompanied Li Zhongyi and sat in the pavilion.
As soon as everyone sat down, Zhao Pu said: "Sir, I heard that Concubine Fu Guifei accepted Sister Ling as a righteous daughter, can this matter be taken seriously?" β
The matter of Fu Guifei accepting Tianya as a righteous daughter is only a verbal decision at present, and there has not been an official ceremony, so there are very few people who know about it.
The news leaked so quickly, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that there was another accurate source in secret.
"It does." Li Zhongyi didn't have anything to hide, so he explained in detail that Chai Rong summoned Mrs. Xue and a pair of twins that day.
Zhao Pu narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Sir, from now on, you will be free to worry!" β
Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and said: "Thunder, rain and dew, all are the grace of heaven, we as courtiers, we only need to be loyal to the king, and we can ensure wealth for a lifetime." β
"Sir, it's ridiculous." Zhao Pu waved his hand and said, "It is obvious that the new army will replace the status of the old army of the imperial court, and it will not be difficult for Mr. to ascend to the high position of the capital supervisor and serve as a party in the future." β
Zhao Pu's words seem to be nothing, but in fact, he divided Li Zhongyi, the head of the new army, and Zhao Kuangyin, the important general of the old forbidden army, into two sides.
Li Zhongyi saw that Zhao Kuangyin was silent, so he said with a smile: "I am just a civil servant who supervises the army, and Uncle Fu Guo is the real general of the new army." β
"Hehe, although Mr. is a civil servant, he has trained an elite Hechi strong army, stored countless grains for the imperial court, and created bows and arrows that can be used for several major battles, which is really the dry city of the country." Zhao Pu praised Li Zhongyi for a while, and suddenly the words changed, "However, Mr. is on the cusp, so you have to be careful." β
Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Zhao Pu's implication was that there would definitely be deep contradictions between the new army and the old army because of the different material supply and system, and the treatment was also very different.
Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, the two leaders of the old forbidden army, will definitely not be able to watch Chai Rong's descendants grow stronger, and they will inevitably pull back.
cough, Li Zhongyi thought to himself, Zhao Pu's real intention is probably to make him more close to Zhao Kuangyin, brothers together, and his profits will be broken, right?
According to Zhao Pu's idea, Zhao Kuangyin has tens of thousands of tiger troops, Li Zhongyi is now supervising 10,000 new troops, and he may be the capital of 100,000 new troops in the future, if these two brothers join forces, cough, Chai Rong's world is in danger!
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zeping, do you know?" The day when the new army of 10,000 people is trained is the time when they are transferred to the next post. β
The matter is obvious, with Chai Rong's political wisdom, how can it be possible to completely hand over such an important elite new army to one person? (To be continued!)
