A few families are happy and a few are sad, once the scenery of the infinite tall and young, rampant and domineering in the capital city of Tingzhou, beating and hurting people without scruples, there are a lot of beautiful wives and concubines around him, but now they are so depressed that they must sell their concubines to pay off their debts, especially to sell the concubines to Su Tong, who was beaten by him and even threatened to "have the ability to retaliate back".

When Gao Chong faced the deed of sale, he dipped his brush in ink to write his name, but he couldn't put it down for a long time.

Thirty taels of silver, which used to be just the money for him to drink a meal, is good now, and the amount he got from selling his beloved woman to others is only such a amount, and the strong frustration in his heart made him feel in a trance for a while.

Su Tong smiled and asked, "Master Gao, are you going to regret it?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. ”

Gao Chong was forced to be helpless, sighed, and honestly signed his name.

Next is the painting of the charge, Gao Chong, Su Tong, Li'er, and a few witnesses, all have to leave the mark of the painting on it, and then Su Tong will use this deed of sale to go to the government to report for registration, and from then on, Li'er officially became the Su family.

"Woo woo, young master!"

When the painting was over, she knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Gao Chong, and weeping incessantly, as if begging Gao Chong to take back her life.

Although Gao Chong was very unbearable, he still stood up forcibly, turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and waved his hand, indicating that Li'er would not remember him in the future, but he hoped in his heart that Li'er could rebuild the old friendship with him.

Li'er was helped up by the Ya Po who was in charge of the intermediary, Gao Chong glanced deeply at his former concubine, and was about to leave, Su Tong stepped forward, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Lord Gao, I heard that your wife is the daughter of the Wang family, everyone is a daughter, beautiful and virtuous, I don't know ......."

"Master Su, how can you give up your wife and your subordinates so easily?" The noble face is not safe.

Su Tong said with a smile: "I have some understanding of your family's background, although Mrs. Ling is of noble birth, but now that her mother's family is guilty, she is alone at this time, and she can't help Your Excellency...... It's better to take advantage of the next thoughts! ”

"We can discuss this deal carefully, Your Excellency is now a court official, and you can marry another wife in the future, or you can help Gao Gongzi soar!"

"You...... Don't you think! ”

Gao Chong was poked in the foot and reprimanded angrily.

Su Tong's face turned cold instantly, he didn't have any friendship with Gao Chong in the first place, he would definitely not be the one who sent charcoal in the snow when Gao Chong was down, and now his behavior is not a stone, it can only be said that he is taking advantage of people's danger.

Su Tong raised his voice: "Lord Gao, you come to the door today, I will treat you as a guest, don't kick your nose in the face." If Lord Gao looks back and understands it, he can come to the door at any time to find it, and he doesn't mind doing it again...... Come on, send off! ”

Gao Chong wanted to die, but he saw several servants of the Su Mansion forced forward, but he didn't even dare to say anything, he had been beaten by the creditor before, and as a result, he made trouble in Daxing County, because of the relationship between the Zhang brothers, the county magistrate didn't even let out a fart...... There is no one to support him, even if he is an official now, but he is a wreck who is a man with his tail between his legs.

"Okay, okay." Gao Chonglian said two good, walked over and hugged the silver box on the table in his arms, turned around, and strode towards the door.

Ya Po chased forward and asked, "Master Gao, you haven't given the slave family any money yet." ”

As if he couldn't hear it, Gao Chong continued to walk towards the door.

Su Tong asked the servants to send the squires who came to witness out, and everyone gave a small gift, including Yapo's share, which attracted Yapo's thanks.

Su Tong personally followed Gao Chong out of the main hall, and Gao Chong was almost at the gate at this time.

Su Tong looked at Gao Chong's embarrassed back and sneered: "The human-like dog still wants to be majestic, but I don't know that it is no different from a lost dog!" ”

This was very hurtful, and Li'er, who was waiting next to her, trembled when she heard it, as if she had a premonition that she would not be treated well in the Su family.

But when Su Tong turned to look at Li'er, a soft smile changed to his face, and he reached over with his big hand, took Li'er's jade hand into his arms, stroked it carefully, and said, "Girl, what do you call it?" ”

Li'er thought to herself, I had my name when I drew the book just now, wouldn't you know? But thinking that it might be the new owner who asked her to say her name herself, she said timidly: "Mercy." ”

"Good name, I feel sorry for it, it's really a lovely person."

Gao Chong smiled, "I originally wanted to do three books and six ceremonies for you, and officially marry you into the door, but a good woman doesn't marry a second husband, and now these red tapes are saved, you won't mind, right?" ”

Li'er looked cowardly and said: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid will be the master's person in the future, and the master's ghost will die, and I ask the master for mercy." ”

"Good, good. I will have pity on you, sir! ”

Su Tong thought that just now Li'er called Gao Chong "young master" and called himself "master", as if he had been Gao Chong's Lao Tzu, and he was very comfortable listening to this title in his heart.

Lian'er, who was crying and crying and was in love with Gao Chong before, was like a shy little girl at this time, showing her beautiful side as much as possible in front of Su Tong.

The more Su Tong looked at it, the more happy he became, and without waiting for dark, he hurriedly pulled Li'er into the room, and he didn't even bother to eat dinner.

……

……

After martial law in the capital, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and people who passed by either had official certificates, or had road guidance from the Jingzhao Mansion and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, or they had an urgent illness that needed to be consulted, otherwise they would be taken down for questioning.

In the capital Xie Mansion, on this day, Xie Qian, a university scholar, finally went home in between his busy schedules.

Even so, he didn't plan to spend the night in the mansion, he was going to accompany the family for a meal, feel the warmth of the family, and go back to the palace to watch the night.

Xie Qian came back, did not go to the study, went directly to the inner courtyard, and found his wife, Mrs. Xu, because now in addition to Shen Xi, who is in Juyongguan, he is not at ease, and his little granddaughter Xie Hengnu, who has not returned to the capital until now.

“…… Master, there is no news from Jun'er's side, I sent someone to the Shen Mansion to see it during the day, it is said that no one walked inside and outside the Shen Mansion, and after knocking on the door, I asked the Yun housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, and he said that the Shen family only has some girls who have just bought it back, and has not received a letter from home. ”

Xie Qian's face was not good: "When has this been, why is there no news at all?" But said that Shen Xi'er would not send more people to escort his family to the north? Being in the position of the governor of the three provinces, and he doesn't know how to make reasonable use of the resources at hand, he is really a stupid boy who doesn't know how to do it! ”

Mrs. Xu was confused for a while and asked, "Master, wasn't Lord Shen called back by the imperial court on the way out?" What does this matter have to do with Lord Shen? ”

"I mean, if that kid from Shen Xi had prepared in advance and sent some more people to escort him, he would have been able to walk faster along the way, maybe Jun'er and they would have returned to the capital by now." Xie Qian said, "If it drags on for a little longer, in case the war situation in the northwest deteriorates, even if the boat and car return to the capital, they will not be able to enter the gate of the capital!" ”

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale with fright: "Master, what can I do?" You have to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Affairs to help ask, if you return to the capital but can't enter the city gate, then the barbarian cavalry is coming......"

Xie Qian scolded: "All these ugly things are a blessing or a curse, but you can't avoid it, instead of worrying about Jun'er, let's first think about whether Shen Xi'er can come back safely to the northwest!" Well, you clean up first, have dinner as a family in the evening, let Pi'er and his wife come out, and then invite my younger siblings out, I may not be able to come back for a long time...... At this time, I will go to the study to deal with the official documents! ”

Mrs. Xu wanted to talk to her husband about her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, but when she heard this, she said with a bitter face: "Master, do you still have something?" ”

Xie Qian ignored his wife, the two have been together for more than 40 years, and they all say that the seven-year itch is that they got married early this year, and both of them are over half a hundred years old.

Before Xie Qian could return to the study, the servant hurried in, holding a letter in his hand. Xie Qian immediately showed his face and asked, "But there's a letter from the Shen Mansion?" ”

"No, sir, it's Ma Shangshu's post!" The servant hurriedly handed over the prayer post.

Xie Qian's face was very ugly, and he said, "This old guy, I just came back, and I already knew, didn't I always send people to keep an eye on the gate of the mansion?" ”

"Master, can you see it?" The servant asked curiously.

Xie Qian suddenly became angry, and said angrily: "The heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials came to the door in person, can the old man not see him?" Hurry up and go out with the old man to greet him! ”

Ma Wensheng is a veteran minister of the Four Dynasties, when he was in charge of the Ministry of War, he made great contributions to ensure the integrity of the Ming Dynasty's territory, and now he is in such a prominent position as the secretary of the ministry, and he personally came to the door in his seventies, Xie Qian, a "young junior" in his fifties, not only wants to see, but also has to go out to greet him in order to show respect.

Seeing Ma Wensheng, Xie Qian stepped forward to salute, the two entered the door together, and came to the main hall of Xie Mansion to sit down, Ma Wensheng said: "What are the arrangements for the war in the northwest?" ”

First, there was not too much nonsense, and he went straight to the topic, which made Xie Qian a little speechless.

Ma Wensheng is now the secretary of the ministry, and he also supervises the military department, Liu Daxia is not in the capital, and Ma Wensheng dispatches two military squires to deal with the daily trivial affairs of the military department.

Ma Wensheng is the person responsible for the specific implementation, and the cabinet is the cabinet, the celebrant and the Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youji, and now Ma Wensheng skipped the emperor and directly asked a cabinet scholar about the arrangements for the next Son of Heaven, which is very suspicious.

Xie Qian didn't care about this, and replied directly: "After Shen Xi'er led the troops to the battle, His Majesty has not asked about the war in the northwest for many days, as if this battle was the first for the time being. So far, although there has been news of the appearance of Tatar cavalry in the northwest, and even appeared outside the Juyong Pass a few days ago, there has been no new battle report, and it seems that the Tatars have been broken into pieces and mainly plundered. As far as I know, now that the Shenxi garrison is in Yongguan, there has been no change for the time being! ”

Ma Wensheng frowned: "Starting from the Beijing Division, you can arrive at Juyong Pass in three days, and now ten days have passed, and the troops are still stationed at Juyong Pass, if Your Majesty knows, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain, right?" ”

Xie Qian heard that Ma Wensheng had the meaning of reproach, and immediately spoke for Shen Xi, and said: "Ma Shangshu was in the army, so he naturally knows the temperament of those Beijing camp generals, and the cabinet got the news the day before yesterday that the Beijing camp generals are self-threatening, and they want Shen Xi to reward them first and then march, how can they blame Shen Xi for being unfavorable for commanding the army?" ”
