Chapter 91: Yellowbeard Comes to the Door

(Thank you for the tip!) )

The son returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and the fourth sister Wanjing, who was still worried about it, finally made a good family affair, and she was happy for a while. Han said excitedly: "You guys sit, I'll go and a few people in the house to cook for everyone." Today, I'm going to cook you your favorite cold pottery before. ”

Li Jing looked at Han's happy appearance, and felt bursts of joy in his heart. "Mother, don't be tired."

Cui Decheng, a man who was nearly forty years old, also said to Han: "Aunt doesn't have to work so hard, my nephew sent two soldiers back to Chishan Town and called the best cooks in the town to have a banquet." Today's double happiness is coming, and I am about to celebrate. ”

He was about to call the soldiers outside the courtyard to come in and go to Chishan to deliver the news, but he saw that Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang had already changed into gorgeous women's clothes, and walked in with Wang Yueying, the daughter of the old village chief. "Don't be so troublesome, the slave has already invited the master of the best drunken immortal building from Wendeng County, and this will already be prepared."

When Han saw Wang Yueying coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him. After Li Jing left home, Wang Yueying took great care of the Li family. Not only did he borrow grain, but he also took out 100 acres of land for free rent to the Li family for farming. Later, Li Jing sent money and grain home twice, both of which were sent back through Wang Yueying's cloth village. Even the courtyard of the Li family was repaired by Wang Yueying. Although Li Jing feels that Wang Yueying did this, there are some reasons why he is in the army for the Wang family, and some more reasons may be because of his current status. But no matter what, Li Jing still admires and understands this widow and strongwoman in the same village.

When Wang Yueying was twenty-five or sixteen years old, her husband's family died early, and then she divided half of the family property with her husband's family. Over the years, he has run Lifeng Cloth Village, and helped to manage the family business of his father's Wang family. In a few years, not only the Wang family was well organized, but also Lifeng Buzhuang was made to Deng, Lai, Qing, Qi, Zi, Mi, Hai, Xu and other eight states, and more than ten branches were opened. Although Wang Yueying is not naturally beautiful, even if she is only wearing a white skirt and showing her face, it gives people a unique feeling. Li Jing is very familiar with this temperament, which is the capable and confident temperament of professional women that is common in later generations.

"I used to trouble you to take care of it, and even you asked someone to help repair this house, so now why are you embarrassed to let you break the bank." Han stepped forward with a smile, and saw that her relationship with Wang Yueying was very close.

"My aunt is still so polite to me, San Lang is a general now, I usually just want to stammer, but I don't have a chance." Huang Yueying said with a smile, "By the way, I heard from the little lady just now that the dozens of hungry people brought back by San Lang on the road have all been taken in?" I've had people go to the store and bring a batch of clothes to the store. Since they will all be members of the Li family in the future, how can they not dress neatly. In addition, I also asked people to find some craftsmen, and immediately set up some houses to arrange for them, and let them live in the old house of our family for the next two days. Wang Yueying said casually, but Li Jing glanced at her in surprise. He also brought those people back on a temporary basis, and there is no official arrangement yet. Unexpectedly, Wang Yueying had already arranged it for him.

Only Han was surprised and complained to Li Jingdao: "Even if you become a general now, how many Yulu can you have a year, and it would be good to leave some money to buy back all the land sold by your ancestors, why do you still collect so many hungry people?" ”

Li Jing smiled: "Mother, you don't have to worry about money." You don't have to worry about the purchase of land, you have a plan. After thinking about it, he said: "I remember that in a few days, the eighteenth day of the lunar month will be my mother's fiftieth birthday." It has not been easy for the family over the years, and the mother has also worked hard. I thought that I would celebrate my mother's 50th birthday this year. At that time, please invite the whole village, and then invite some juggling and singing people to come over and hold a big show, which is lively and lively. ”

"Shou?"

Han Shi was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes moistened again, she was only thirty-six years old when her husband died, and she had worked hard to raise eight children by herself for so many years. Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she is fifty years old. Think about the days at the beginning, and look at the present, the sons have become the generals of the seventh grade, and the daughter is also going to marry the general of the seventh grade. Han Shi hid his face and ran back to Li Jing's father's spirit card in the house, and cried loudly: "Hey, do you see a spirit in the sky?" The concubine has worked hard for 14 years, and finally pulled the children up. You hear me? Jing'er is already the general of Qipin, and her son is finally promising."

Holding Li Gang's tablet, Han took a handful of tears and snot, and cried out the bitterness and grievances behind these years of strength. Han's crying attracted the fourth sister, the fifth sister, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, Gui Niang and Wan'er, and several female dependents all supported Han. But as soon as Han Shi helped him up, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law over there were also touched by this, and hugged the spirit cards of the eldest brother and the second brother and cried bitterly.

Everyone stood behind Li Jing and watched silently, and they all understood the meaning of this cry. This is Han comforting Li Jing's father, telling him that his son is finally out of breath, so that he can rest assured.

"Jing'er, come forward and kowtow to your father!"

Li Jing stepped forward with a heavy heart and kowtowed to his father, whom he had never seen before. Every time he kowtowed, he silently recited a sentence in his heart, with him, he would take good care of everyone in the Li family.

After a few female relatives had enough of crying, Li Jing helped them out of the hall with his wife and Wan'er.

It was almost noon, the whole Wang Li Village was already full of strong meat fragrance, Wang Yueying invited the cooks whose skills were very good, plus Wang Yueying spared no expense to prepare a large number of mutton, pork and a lot of seasonal vegetables, those cooks were full of skills, one by one the dishes were stewed, which attracted a lot of water.

The first meal back to the village was completely contracted by Wang Yueying, and when she was trying to win over her relationship with Li Jing, Wang Yingyue did not forget the villagers. This meal was simply made into a flowing water long banquet, and the whole village was invited to have a banquet together. Even the more than 50 hungry people who had just followed Li Jing into the village were arranged with several large tables, and large buckets of fatty meat slices were enough. If this meal hadn't been discovered quickly, and the doctor happened to be there, and the rescue was timely, it is estimated that more than half of the hungry people would have died from eating too much meat that day.

At this flowing water banquet for the whole village, more than 150 households in the village received New Year's gifts from Li Jing to each household in the village, including two pieces of cloth, five buckets of rice, ten catties of pork and ten catties of mutton. In addition, for the children under the age of 16 in the village, Li Jing also gave 100 yuan each. Li Jing's generosity made the whole village praise Li Jing, praise Li Jing's father and Li Jing's grandmother and others for how kind they are, and how good the Li family's style is.

After the eight of them went home, they told the whole family about their current situation, which also made the whole family happy. Then at the banquet, the families of the eight people took their families to kowtow to Li Jing to thank him. Especially Xiaoshi's father, Wang Blacksmith, Wang Liang also knows about Li Jing's framing of Li Jing. In order to thank him for his help to the Li family, Li Jing returned the 20 acres of land returned to him by Zhang Kuguan, and also gave him half of the original 60 acres of land of his family, and also gave him 100 yuan of money. The blacksmith refused to accept anything, and for him, the relationship between the two families could not be measured by a few acres of land and dozens of dollars. What's more, Xiao Shi followed Li Jing, not only got back more than 200 silks several times, but now he has also mixed with a gang leader, and I heard his son say that after following Li Jing to take office in the future, it is possible to be promoted one or two more levels, and then he will be a real official and family member with a high grade.

The old blacksmith is not very good at talking, but he is the most upright, at the banquet, he pulled the small stone and knelt in front of Li Jing, and let the little stone swear to Li Jing that he will be loyal to Li Jing in this life, and no matter what Li Jing wants him to do, he will never say anything. Listening to Xiaoshi's oath and looking at the old blacksmith uncle's pale face, Li Jing was very moved. When the other families saw the old blacksmith make Little Stone swear, they also let their children swear along. Other families are all full of envy looking at Xiao Shi and their eight young men who can follow Li Jing.

Wang Liang's mother didn't come to this banquet, and Wang Guiniang couldn't help but tell her the truth about Wang Liang. This simple mother was very ashamed, and took all this on herself, feeling that she had no way to teach her son, and she even thought of dying, washing away the shame that Wang Liang brought to the Wang family. Fortunately, Li Jing arrived and persuaded her with Wang Guiniang for a long time, so that her heart to seek death was unraveled.

In the following days, Li Jing's home was very lively, and even Wang Li Village was also very lively. Qingning Township has long been rumored everywhere that the Li family Saburo of Wang Li Village went out to enlist in the United Army, and when he came back, he had become the general of Zhengqipin, and became the protégé of the Jiedu envoy and the prime minister, and even the daughter of the county lord and the Jiedu envoy returned to Qingning Township with him. And it is said that Li Jing, who became a general, wanted to give his mother a 50th birthday, and on the day of the birthday banquet, all those who went to pay homage to the birthday could eat a wine banquet, regardless of their status, even if they were hungry.

When this news spread throughout Qingning Township, and even spread throughout Wendeng County in just a few days, and had the momentum of spreading farther and farther, and spreading more and more widely, the entire Qingning Township became lively. First of all, the officials, officials, squires, wealthy households, and even small landowners of Wendeng County and the following townships began to prepare gifts to attend this birthday party. In addition, the brothers who went home from more than 100 places under Li Jing in Qingning Township were also preparing gifts and preparing to go to pay respects on Li's mother's birthday.

Then, the hungry people in Wendeng County also heard the wind and rushed to Wangli Village like the wind to 'pay respects'.

These days, Li Jing is busier every day than he is in Dengzhou training unity soldiers, and when another busy day is over, Li Jing returns to a quiet room alone. In the first two days after returning, the Han family arranged Gui Niang and Wan'er to take turns in Li Jing's room. As a result, a few days later, Han found that his son's eyes were dark and his lips were a little pale, so he issued a ban on his son's two women, and he was not allowed to share a bed with Li Jing for half a month, even if he had a room.

Li Jing walked into the room, but suddenly found that there was a piece of paper on the table in the room, and on it was a line of familiar fonts.

"The rivers and seas meet and hate each other, and the autumn wind leaves are under the Dongting waves. Don't drink and don't Huaiyin City at night, and the moon shines on the high-rise building. This is a gift to the famous poet Wen Tingyun of the late Tang Dynasty. A poet who writes about wandering rivers and lakes meets a teenager in the bleak autumn season. They were like-minded to each other, but they were lucky enough for a moment, and then they broke up. There is a sense of "not meeting" the writer who borrowed the guest to express the rivers and lakes.

But at this time, Zhang Yingying, who left this poem, obviously did not express the feeling of not encountering. Through poetry, she writes about the affection, lovesickness and parting between her and Li Jing. Li Jing looked at the thin paper and was a little stunned for a while. Who is Zhang Yingying? He only knew her name, but he didn't know her identity. And he never told her who he was, why did she not say goodbye that day, but now she suddenly appeared, found here, and left this poem? Does she want to see herself, or does she want to express that the two will 'never meet again'?

The beautiful night of the Lotus Academy resurfaced in his mind that day, and Li Jing was a little surprised to find that that short night had actually been engraved into his heart, which was indelible. Li Jing felt that he was not too infatuated, although he was still a student in his later life, he had the experience of breaking up at dawn a few times. When he was in Fahuayuan with Zhang Yingying that day, he admitted that he was moved by this woman's beauty and temperament, and for various reasons, he was the most embarrassed. He didn't ask her identity at the time, maybe it was because he had the idea of breaking up at dawn. It's just that he didn't expect that she would be the first to leave before dawn.

Is it because of this that he will never forget her? What about her, who obviously said goodbye without saying goodbye, and now suddenly puts this poem here, what does it mean? Continue the frontier, or never see each other? For a while, Li Jing actually felt that he was a little confused.

"It seems that this thing is actually true? Oh my God, Zhang Yingying, the 'queen of the sea' who dominates the three seas, actually has such an unforgettable relationship with a peasant boy, I don't know how much wind and waves will be set off on the three seas? ”

Just when Li Jing's thoughts were in turmoil, a deep voice with a mocking tone sounded in the suddenly dimly lit room. Li Jing was shocked, the whole person had quickly turned around, hid behind the bookcase, and quickly pulled out the three-inch dagger tied to his leg with his right hand.

"Who is it?" Li Jing maintained a defensive posture, and searched the room carefully with a pair of eyes.

"Whew!" Several flint strikes rang out, and then a flame lit up. Behind the firelight, a middle-aged man with a yellow beard grinned, revealing a mouthful of large yellow teeth. "Why, I haven't seen you for a month, and I don't know my old friends?"

Li Jing finally remembered who this person was, and his complexion changed sharply at the moment, and he exclaimed: "Yellow beard, it's you, why are you here!" For the yellow beard who suddenly appeared in the room, Li Jing's heart was cold. If there are people he didn't want to see for a long time, then Yellowbeard must be on the list. There is no other reason, just because when Li Jing killed Feng Yanqing, the disaster led to the east, and finally blamed the stolen goods on the body of 'Zhen Donghai'. Now that the main owner has come to the door, how can Li Jing not be surprised.
