Chapter 10 Fortune (I)
"Little official, get up. "There was a call, this must be Hegui.
“...... Oh, got it. Wang Shoutian, who was awakened, woke up, got up, dressed himself, and when he came out, he heard a commotion outside.
Wang Shoutian was stunned and asked, "Hegui, what's the matter?"
"Oh, my father-in-law has returned, and many people in the village have come to the door to propose their own son to him!" said He Gui happily.
In addition to Wang Shoutian, the rest of the Wang family is his mother.
Wang Shoutian is now an official, and everyone is a little afraid, so when they saw that Steward Xu was back, they flocked to it.
"Just look at me. Wang Shoutian said with a smile, he went to the inner room, looked through a gap, and saw that the hall was crowded with villagers, and outside were a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys.
"Uncle Xu, look at my baby, obedient enough, strong enough, and definitely able to do things with a petty official. ”
"Uncle Xu, who in the village doesn't know that my son has great strength and can lift calf ......"
"Uncle Xu, there are few fields at home, there are many babies, and there is really no food to eat, so you let the petty officials accept a few to be soldiers, and there will always be something to eat!"
Now there are many feudal towns, there are big wars from time to time, ordinary people can not afford to have children, and they are not soldiers in peacetime, but the only way out is to get ahead in troubled times.
Really study carefully, many marshals and tooth generals were born as tooth soldiers back then!
Wang Shoutian didn't go out, and after waiting for a while, Steward Xu came in.
"Little official!"
"Uncle Xu!" Wang Shoutian was very polite, Steward Xu has followed the Wang family for a lifetime, and the next three generations will also follow, so you can't be polite.
"Little official, just now some folks in the village asked someone to speak, you see ......"
"It's okay, Uncle Xu, you have also been a soldier before, just help me pick one, the marshal gave me two battalions of soldiers, I only recruit one and a half battalions now, and it will not be a problem to recruit more than 100 people." Wang Shoutian thought for a while, said, paused, and said, "Uncle Xu, can you help me recruit a few old battalion soldiers?"
"Old battalion soldiers?" Uncle Xu was a little puzzled.
In this era, the fate of the old battalion soldiers was very miserable, they fought all their lives, and finally ended up with injuries and diseases, and they did not know other life skills, and their lives were miserable.
"Uncle Xu, I don't need them to fight, they have fought all their lives, they will always take young men, right?" Seeing Xu Bo thinking about it, he smiled: "I want more than a dozen, and it is best to be the chief of Wu Changhuo." ”
"Okay, little official, there are not many people who can retire when they reach Wu Changhuo, but I'll find it for you, there will always be!" Uncle Xu said and agreed.
At this time, He Gui came over, and Wang Shoutian went over and whispered a few words to her.
He Gui was pleasantly surprised, and responded again and again: "This matter is handed over to me, I will go to find out her family's tone." ”
"Well, the matter is left to you, I will go to Fucheng once. Wang Shoutian finally said.
At this time, the city of Fu, there are many noble houses here
A dark house, the courtyard is not large, and when you look at it on the road, the wooden attic looms in the middle.
Song Qingqi, Li Chengye, and a few students arrived at the door when they heard the chirping of a parrot in the court: "There are guests coming, there are guests coming......
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Li Chengye even said: "There is really a bit of elegance here." ”
Song Qingqi smiled and said, "That's why I can have a monopoly on it!"
At this time, I saw the front of the building, a little man in Tsing Yi greeted her, her long bright eyes and bright teeth, when she smiled, there were shallow dimples, it looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old, she was very cute, she saw the person who came, and said with a smile: "A few sons come to visit, welcome welcome, please come in!"
Led in by this little girl, I saw that although it was autumn and winter, the rockery was faintly visible, and the people who came for the first time couldn't help but nod and praise.
The courtyard was clean and dust-free, and when she went up the stone steps, the girl in Tsing Yi led these people to the small building, and while walking, she smiled and said a few words, and she even used elegant words.
Li Chengye glanced at this girl and said, "Just by looking at this girl, you can know how elegant the master is." ”
"Hey, the four talented girls of Qingteng Garden, or good at dancing, or good at songs, or good at piano, or good poetry, are all famous for a long time, Li Gongzi, you are the first time to come, today I will be the east. A man said.
Li Chengye smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Then thank you Brother Zhang." ”
When the group arrived, there were already some scholars in the hall to visit, and before they arrived, they only heard a burst of piano sound, which flowed tactfully, without too much rendering, just flowing calmly, but naturally revealing worry and quiet, the sound lingered and flowed, pulling people's heartstrings, and the sound gradually fell low and graceful at the end of the song, gradually disappeared, and seemed to linger on it.
Everyone in the hall was silent for a long time, and the few people who were about to enter outside the hall were all relaxed and happy, as if the sound of the piano just now had been immersed in their hearts.
"It's really good, and it lives up to its reputation. Li Chengye clapped his hands, broke the silence, and said.
The curtain was lifted, but at this time, there was a breath of energy, several girls were dancing, moving with light yarn, skirts in full swing, eyes and waves, beautiful spring, and everyone in the hall applauded.
When they arrived at a relatively secluded room, they could see the performance clearly, and when a few people sat down, there was a maid serving tea, listening to the singing, and looking at the beauty, but Li Chengye was in a trance.
Although Li Chengye is young, he was born in a scholarly family since he was a child.
Since childhood, well-read, smart and different, Li Gang, the prefect of Fuzhong, praised "the secretary, vigilant and discerning, and the secretary is talented", usually cautious and polite, this kind of trance is rare, but today, a major event happened.
Li Chengye's father, Li Cunyi, is the county magistrate of Kaiming County, don't underestimate the county magistrate, there are only four counties and one government in the town, which is already a high-level civil official, and is deeply trusted by the marshal.
Li Chengye turned 17 years old this year, and he often moved around the palace, and the marshal also asked him to walk around the yamen to familiarize himself with the situation, and he would always take up his post in the future.
Today, in the morning, I have time to accompany the handsome and righteous woman to incense.
The handsome queen Jieting, originally surnamed Zhang, and her father Zhang Yi, was originally a general, who died on the battlefield.
It is said that Wang Jieting is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has practiced martial arts since childhood, and can make a long sword.
I don't want to, in the incense, I met a Taoist priest, this Taoist priest only glanced at Wang Jieting, and followed closely, Li Chengye thought that he had met a light man, he was furious, and turned around to ask, but the Taoist priest said amazing words: "Poor Taoist has cultivated physiognomy since childhood, and I dare not say that the enlightenment is very thorough, and there are two or three points." Good looks, not easy to show, but unfortunately the poor road is located in the wilderness, I have not seen a very good person, God opened his eyes, today let me see a very noble person. ”
Li Chengye's heart was moved at that time, and after sending Wang Jie's ** incense, he invited the Taoist priest into the hotel, and when he arrived at the hotel secluded room, the Taoist priest did not wait for Li Chengye to ask, and said: "If you look at the appearance of adults, it is just the appearance of a county and a state, but if you look at this woman, she has the character of a young phoenix, and she was born with the life of a husband and a child, and she can help her husband to be lucky. ”
Li Chengye listened to the blood surging, sweating profusely, and was about to ask for details, but the Taoist priest did not eat a mouthful of tea, and got up to say goodbye: "The poor road is fortunate to see the noble face, which is the blessing of the poor road, but the heavenly opportunity cannot be leaked, and there are too many words about the yang shou of the poor road." ”
As he spoke, he disappeared into the crowd.
When he got to the street, Li Chengye was almost like in a dream, even if he met a few sons and pulled them here together, he still couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Calling him the king, this sentence, for some reason, suddenly ignited a certain power in his body and heart, which made his heart tumble.
"Brother Li, what are you thinking?" At this moment, a tap on the shoulder made him sober up.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that this morning, I went to the incense, I don't want to be crowded, it's crowded, and I'm a little tired. Li Chengye said with a smile.
"Hey, it's a trifle, have an extra drink and you'll be in good spirits. Song Qingqi said with a smile, said, looked at it for a while, and said: "I see that Brother Li's Yintang is red and purple at the moment, and it is obviously about to develop, why be tired?"
Li Chengye was taken aback and asked, "You can also look at your face?"
"There are some family heirlooms at home, very shallow, come, look, Han Cainu is here. Song Qingqi was actually stunned, he was just rough and rough at some simple physiognomy, and he hadn't started yet, but he didn't know why, just now he suddenly saw a trace of purple qi floating out of Li Chengye, and if he looked closely, he didn't see anything.
But at this time, the talented girl had already arrived, and he also let go of this doubt and said.
"Dare to ask whose son is this?" Han Scarlet came with a light skirt, this woman has a beautiful face, her eyes are cold and affectionate, and she has charm in her innocence, which is the most irresistible for young people.
Seeing her coming, Song Qingqi's eyes locked on her, and Li Chengye also cheered up and talked to her, but he was even more thoughtful in his heart.
Although Wang Jieting is a handsome daughter, but her father Zhang Yi is dead, but not many people really pay attention to it, and the Li family is also a big family, if it is proposed at this time, the handsome will agree.
Besides, no matter what, Wang Jieting is also a handsome and righteous woman, which has something to do with the handsome.
Thinking about it in his heart, he just dealt with Han Feiyi very little, absent-mindedly.
Han Feiyi was shocked in her heart, and looked at Li Chengye a few times, but there were many guests, but it was impossible to stay here too much, so she smiled at the moment and went to another seat.
"Brother Li, have you seen it? The talented girl pays special attention to you. ”
"Oh, I really didn't think, everyone, it's getting late, I'm going to go back early, my father is coming back to see the big man this time. Li Chengye raised his glass and said, "I toast you with a glass, and I hereby accompany you." ”
After saying that, he drank it, gave it to him, and went away in a hurry.
This made the sons present look at each other, and after a while, Song Qingchi sighed and said: "I heard that the Li family is rigorous in learning and has a strong family style. ”
"It's a pity that I don't understand the amorous feelings. One of them said, "I don't know if you can taste the moisture of a woman?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
