Chapter 248: Dragon Pond
When Li Jinglong left, Chang Sen asked the subordinate who had sent Li Jinglong to the gate from Jingyun Courtyard: "Li Jinglong has been talking to Li Tong in Jingyun Courtyard for a long time." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The man said, "Yes, third master." Master Li and the eldest young grandmother talked for a long time. ”
Chang Sen said to Chang Sheng: "Look, this kid Li Jinglong will drill the camp." ”
Chang Sheng said: "Okay, it's good that they are relatives now, so it's not good for people to hear it." Besides, Li Jinglong has some skills, and now that there are so many heroes and famous generals, how can he get a good position if he doesn't drill into the camp? ”
"It's useless for our brother to drill into the camp if he doesn't have the ability, so don't laugh at him."
Chang Sen was very unconvinced when he heard Chang Sheng's words, but he also knew that Emperor Taizu had praised Li Jinglong when he was still there, and he couldn't compare with Li Jinglong, so he could only hold back his words.
Chang Sheng ignored him anymore. Chang Sheng called Chang Jifeng aside, pulled him to his yard, and said, "Feng'er, I see that when you had lunch today, you were still very careful, and you didn't quite adapt to home." ”
Chang Sheng now has to ask Chang Jifeng how he feels today every day, and if he finds that someone dares to offend him, he will be dealt with severely. To be honest, Chang Sheng had never cared so much about his son before.
Chang Jifeng said: "Second uncle, today is to have dinner with the emperor. I'm sitting not far from the emperor again, and I don't know what to do. ”
After Yun Xi became the emperor's grandson, he advocated the meal sharing system, so the noble families all switched to the meal sharing system. Although today is the main Chang family, it must be Yun Xi who sits on the upper hand, Chang Sheng on the left side of his hand, and Chang Sen on the right; The second from the left is Chang Jizong, the heir of Zheng Guogong, but the second from the right is Chang Jifeng. He is a member of the Chang family, so although he is young, his position is second only to Chang Jizong among the younger generation. Naturally, the young woman was separated by a screen.
Yun Xi was not very sure of his identity, so he looked at Li Jinglong from time to time, which made him very nervous.
Chang Sheng smiled: "It's nothing, Ji Yao and Ji Xu were also at a loss when they had dinner with His Majesty for the first time, and the food in front of them was almost untouched. After a few times, it's fine. ”
Chang Jifeng said: "Well, I know the second uncle. But I didn't believe it too much. In his opinion, he is not the same as those brothers who grew up in the mansion. He also had an estrangement with his original brothers in the house, and they didn't play with him.
Although Chang Sheng is not very emotional, Chang Jifeng is still very young, and his heart is revealed. So Chang Sheng easily saw Chang Jifeng's thoughts.
Chang Sheng also knew that other children who were about the same age as Chang Jifeng didn't like to play with him, although no one dared to bully him.
Chang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "When you were in Longtan Village, Jurong County, you had a good time with a neighbor's child named Yu Jie, right?" ”
Chang Jifeng nodded and said, "Well, we always play together." ”
Chang Sheng said: "In a few days, you will be able to meet him in the capital." ”
Chang Jifeng stopped his pace and turned his head to look at Chang Sheng in surprise.
Chang Sheng said: "I ordered someone to bring him to the capital to play with you." Don't worry, it's not like you're going to be a subordinate. I'm going to find you a gentleman in the capital and teach you to read. ”
"I have learned about the family next door to you, who wants to let their children study but don't have much money, and they plan to send them to the home school of Yanzhi in Qiantang County, Hangzhou."
"Now I'm paying for their children to go to school, and they must be willing." Chang Sheng looked at Chang Jifeng's expression and hurriedly added the words later.
Chang Jifeng knew that his neighbor's family was indeed like this, the eldest of the four boys in the family was nine years old, and he had studied in a private school for a year, and Mr. said that he was very smart, but the family had no money for him to continue studying.
So they discussed sending him to his home in Qiantang County. Now that they can come to the capital to study, they must be unwanted, even if they take another son to play with the young master of a big family.
Chang Jifeng became a little happier because of this, and Chang Sheng was also relieved to see his expression. He had planned to wait until everything was done before telling Chang Jifeng, but he couldn't help but say it in advance, and now it seems that the effect is good.
Chang Sheng sent Chang Jifeng back to his own courtyard, and then instructed the people in the courtyard before returning to his courtyard.
==================================================
In the northwest of Jurong County, Yingtianfu, near the Yangtze River, there is a small village and a small village, because there is a waterhole next to the village, and the local legend says that there is a dragon in this waterhole, so the village is named Longtan Village.
The village is very small, but because of the important location of the North River, there is a Longtan Inspection Division here. When Zhu Yuanzhang was renovating the roads of the country, he also opened up a big road here.
In this way, many people in Jurong County will go from here, and the local people will get some benefits.
Now there are a few young men, walking on the main road. One of them said to the other: "Fei Bin, is the clue really gone when it reaches Longtan Village?" ”
The person called Fei Bin said: "Lord Luo Deputy Qianhu, it's true, the last clue is here." ”
The person known as Luo Deputy Qianhu said in a clear voice: "Then this is probably the place where the people who deceived Zheng Guogong's Mansion are located." It's finally time to find out the results, and it's finally possible to end it. ”
The others also looked relieved.
They walked towards Longtan Village with a relaxed conversation and laughter all the way. When they were about five miles away from Longtan Village, Deputy Luo Qianhu said: "Be careful now, don't alarm the thieves, Zhang Ye, you go to the east of the village; Cao Qiu, you go to the west of the village; Xiaobai, you and Xiaoyang go to the north of the village; Xiao Zhang, you wait in the south. Fei Bin, you lead the way, let's enter from the village gate. ”
The people who were ordered agreed one after another, and they were completely no longer as relaxed as they had just now, and they all began to carry out the task with concentration.
The rest continued towards the village gate. But when he was less than two miles away from the village gate, Fei Bin suddenly said: "Look, there is a group of people walking towards the village. And it doesn't look like an ordinary person. ”
The others crouched down to let the trees block them, then looked ahead. I saw three or four young men coming from the north and walking towards the village.
His gait, at first glance, looks like he has been away for a long time, and he must not be an ordinary person.
Deputy Luo Qianhu said: "Nine times out of ten, they are thieves. But don't act rashly, in case there are still people in the village, isn't that just a startling snake? It's important to do it all. The guy who was familiar with the commander was familiar with him, but there was no one in his eyes; We must let him know that the person who came out of the Jinyi Wei family is not comparable to a person like him who left home halfway. ”
As soon as Deputy Luo Qianhu said this, the people present nodded one after another. They are all people whose fathers are in Jinyiwei, and it is just a command envoy from above, which is normal and they are used to it. However, because this commander was born in Jingwei, it was convenient to transfer people, and many people from other guards were transferred to Jinyiwei.
Of course, they didn't dare to object, but they secretly didn't have any signs with these newly transferred people, and they wanted to make more meritorious contributions and then the newly transferred people would make a fool of themselves.
In order to achieve full success, they waited until the people in front of them had entered the village, and then they walked forward. Deputy Luo Qianhu assigned a few more people to guard around the village, and then entered the village.
==================================================
In the village, the old couple of the Cao family were sitting in the courtyard chattering. They were old, their legs were weak, and they had no children under their knees, so they rented most of their family's fields to relatives to plant, leaving only a small plot of land close to the village. Then the clan is responsible for the food and clothing of the old couple and other expenses and takes care of them.
Even in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to find Shangtian in the capital, because they had no children, so the relatives rushed to serve the old couple, so they could get their land after the old couple died, so the old couple's life was okay.
Aunt Cao said to her wife, Uncle Cao: "Hey, you said that Yun'er is good in the capital, why have I been worried." ”
Uncle Cao said: "Okay, they are big families in the capital, and all the belongings of our family are not comparable to the clothes they wear." And the leader is just a subordinate, and the subordinate is like this, and the master doesn't mention it. ”
"Yun'er, following your relatives is much better than following us."
They are the Cao family who raised Chang Jifeng for six years before. Six years of raising made them very affectionate towards Chang Jifeng.
Aunt Cao said: "Hey, if it weren't much stronger than us, then I wouldn't have agreed to let them take Yun'er away." But these days, I think that although this big family has good food and clothing, maybe there are other bad things in the family. ”
"But after all, they are a family, and the family is much stronger than ours, so it makes no sense to force them not to be taken away. It's just that I still want to know how Yun'er's life is now. ”
Uncle Cao was about to answer the call to comfort Aunt Cao, but at this moment, Aunt Cao suddenly said: "Hey, look at that person, is it the person who picked up Yun'er that day?" ”
Uncle Cao looked in the direction of Aunt Cao's gaze and saw several people knocking on the door of the person next door to his house. He took a closer look, and there was indeed one person who should be one of the people who took Chang Jifeng away.
At this time, Aunt Cao had already stood up and walked over. Uncle Cao didn't stand up and ask. Since the other party picked up the person, it is impossible to send it back, and it is useless to ask.
After a while, Aunt Cao came back and muttered, "Yun'er is still living a good life there,......"
Next door to the Cao family, Li Xubin, who was the leader of the Chang family, said: "I can be regarded as having dealt with this person, I don't know the questions he asked at all, so I can only make up some nonsense." Then he took a breath and shouted, "Is anyone home?" ”
At home, the owner of the house is entertaining guests. It's not right to say that it's a guest, it's the family, according to this era, it's not a guest.
The master, Yu Sheng, said to another man: "You are younger than me, I will call you the fifth brother." How do you go out with a newborn child? ”
His wife, Chi, also said: "Didn't I say, how can I go out with such a young child? ”
The man's name was Yu Xu, and he said: "I didn't come out with him, but when I came from Qiantang to study, I accidentally got injured, and my wife heard about it, so she rushed to Lishui County from Qiantang despite the fact that she was still pregnant." I will be recuperating for a few days before I recover. Uchiko also gave birth to a child at a friend's house in Lishui. ”
"Although my injuries are not all healed, I am going to go back to Qiantang. It's not far from Qiantang, and we plan to take a boat back, but the road to save is bumpy. ”
Chi said: "It's not good to go far away with a child who is just three months old. But since you're going home, that's all you have to say. ”
Then she said to Yu Xu's wife, Liu: "I'll tell you about the experience of taking care of children, and save trouble." ”
Liu smiled: "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Chi said: "What do you say thank you for your family! She also wanted to send her eldest son to study in Qiantang, so she naturally wanted to please them.
Then the two of them went down to the back room.
Then Yu Sheng and Yu Xu were about to continue talking, when they heard someone say, "Is anyone at home?" ”
Yu Sheng said goodbye, walked to the door and opened the door, and then walked to the door of the courtyard and opened the door. Then he saw the four young men in front of him.
Yu Sheng was a little scared: 'What if they are robbers?' There is nothing to rob in his own house, and his mother-in-law is not good-looking: but the wife of his brother Yu Xu is good-looking, what if something goes wrong? How do you explain to your people? How can his eldest son go to Qiantang to study? ……’
Just when his thoughts continued to diverge, he saw a person's face, he felt as if he had seen this person, and after thinking about it again, he remembered that this was the person who took Cao Yun away from Cao's house two months ago, and immediately put his mind at ease: "Those people are all big families, and it is impossible for them to come to rob their own family." ’
So he said to the man he had seen, "What is the official looking for me?" Although he knew that the other party was just a subordinate, he couldn't afford to offend himself, so he called him an official.
Li Xubin said: "It seems that Brother Yu recognized where we came from. We're the ones who picked up the kids next door to you. Brother Yu, that's what I'll call you. I heard that your eldest son Yu Cishu reads well, and my husband has praised him several times, but now your family has no money for him to study, right? ”
Yu Sheng said: "That's true. What's the matter with the officials? ”
Li Xubin said: "My master is willing to pay for your children to study. And not only the eldest son of your family, but all children can read, would you like to? ”
Yu Sheng immediately rejoiced: "Really? ”
Li Xubin said: "Of course it's true! ”
But Yu Sheng had already eased up at this time, and asked suspiciously and very vigilantly, "Who is the master of your family?" Why would you like to sponsor my son's education? ”
