Chapter 35

: Loyalty and filial piety betray father! (Please collect, recommend, monthly pass, and read more)

When Wang Zhongxiao led his red rabbit back to his home in Douzhaocai Hutong, it was almost dark. He opened the courtyard door and saw Master Yu, Li Jixiang, and Li Fuhan, all stretching their necks and thinking. Hear the news!

"Second Young Master, how is the situation?"

"Brother Big Tou, are you meeting the emperor?"

"Shikai. Didn't you take back the Qianqingmen walking sign?"

Hearing the questions from the three of them, Wang Zhongxiao laughed and said, "There are good things happening today, but this is not the place to talk. Let's go into the room and chat slowly."

When Li Fuhan heard this, he also laughed, and then ordered his son Li Jixiang: "Jixiang, quickly lead your brother Shikai to lead a horse and carry a gun. Shikai, come in quickly. Are you hungry? I asked your aunt to cook your favorite food." The old hen is stewed with mushrooms and dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork!”

"Well, I smell it, it smells so good!"

Wang Zhongxiao had been busy for a day and was already hungry. When he smelled the aroma of chicken soup, his stomach growled. While handing over the spear and the reins of the red rabbit colt to Li Jixiang, he shouted: "Auntie , give me more dumplings, I will eat the old hen stewed with mushrooms!"

"Got it," Ms. Li Zhang's voice came from the kitchen immediately, "I've got enough dumplings. Chun Ni'er, help your big head brother boil the wine and add three or four eggs for me!"

Chuni happily agreed: "Okay!"

Wang Zhongxiao, Li Fuhan, and Master Yu walked into the hanging flower door together, and then went to the empty main house. This main house facing north and south was theoretically the residence of Wang Fuchen and his eight wives. However, Wang Fuchen was not there. Yunnan, so it has always been empty. After Wang Zhongxiao came back, he asked Li Fuhan to use the hall of the main house as a restaurant for family gatherings.

Wang Zhongxiao said: "I'm proud of myself, but I also owe someone a huge favor. If I don't say repay it, then I have to go to the house and say thank you, right?" After saying that, he made a gesture of counting money, " But I’m short of money now!”

Wang Zhongxiao, Li Fuhan, and Master Yu all took their seats. Chunni brought another pot of boiled rice wine and a plate of lard scrambled eggs with an attractive aroma. The eggs were fried with authentic local lard. That’s called a fragrance!

Wang Zhongxiao couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, put a large piece of egg into his mouth and chewed it for a few times before swallowing it with satisfaction. Then he smiled and said to Li Fuhan and Master Yu: "It's done!"

"This, this old guy really doesn't learn well!" Wang Zhongxiao suddenly got angry and shouted angrily, "He even cheated his own son out of his money!"

Wang Zhongxiao poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile: "The guard is done! Your Majesty has made me a sixth-grade Lan Ling guard today, and I will still be working in the Qing Dynasty! He also asked me to go there tomorrow. Check the main gate of Qianqingmen!"

Unexpectedly, this theoretical possibility was realized so easily by Wang Zhongxiao. He didn't even wait for the selection, he just killed a pig and became a bodyguard!

Killing pigs is not difficult, Li Fuhan and Yu Deshui can do it, but relying on killing pigs to become a bodyguard is as difficult as climbing to the sky! Could it be that Kangxi also gave Wang Zhongxiao a bodyguard because he was handsome?

Thinking of this, Li Fuhan and Yu Deshui took a closer look at Wang Zhongxiao's pretty face, and found that his handsome face was actually covered with a trace of sadness.

Wang Zhongxiao smiled and said: "Can this matter be false? I have done a good job in protecting you today!"

Li Fuhan quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no. Master, I know your methods. It's the big gangsters in the outer city who borrowed their money. In the future, if Shikai is released somewhere, he will have to take their people with him to get it."

Money! When the time comes for them to do mischief in the name of Shikai’s family, Shikai will have to wipe their butts!”

The Qing Dynasty's general army actually only had a few soldiers. Wu Sangui's reinforcement and suppression army had more troops, with only 3,000 green battalion soldiers under his command. Other general soldiers usually only had 2,000 green battalion soldiers.

"That's not necessary," Mrs. Li Zhang said with a smile, "I don't lack such connections."

"Really? That's so lucky!"

"Hey, you really asked!" Mrs. Li Zhang said with a smile, "I still have a way!"

"The child's father!"

"Shikai, stop being so pretentious!"

"Ah, he didn't give it to you? Then you now"

"That's right, just kill a pig and become a bodyguard. There's no one else."

"Auntie, if you have any ideas, please tell your nephew immediately," Wang Zhong said filially, "my nephew is almost borrowing usury!"

Li Fuhan also nodded and said: "That's right, to be successful in life you must have all the fun!"

Master Yu spread his hands: "Second Master, aren't you short of money now? If you don't go to the outer city to borrow it, why don't you borrow some? Do you have any capital?"

As soon as Li Fuhan mentioned the money and food he had received from the coaters "on behalf of" Wang Fuchen and his son over the years, his wife Li Zhang came into the house carrying a large casserole of hot, fragrant old hen stewed with mushrooms. She put down the casserole in her hand.

Finally, she asked with a smile: "Is it because Shikai is short of money and lacks the money to do the up and down business?"

"Escort?" Li Fuhan was startled, "Is there an assassin?"

Wang Zhongxiao said: "I only have a thousand dollars on hand. I have to go to Prince Yu, Crown Prince Pingxi, and Dingnan Gege to visit with the guards. Cao Yin, Zhang Xiaobao, and Guo Jinbao also helped a lot.

I can't do without some expression. In addition, some communication among colleagues is indispensable. Master Yu, Second Uncle, do you think I should ask someone to borrow some usury money?"

Wang Zhongxiao asked: "There is no shortage of opportunities, and we don't want to pay back the money. Who can be so conscientious?"

Master Yu said: "That's right. When you said goodbye to the Wu family members at Bailian Temple, Magistrate Lu didn't find you, so he gave the banknote to your father."

Master Yu couldn't believe it either: "Did I hear it right? I won't be selected until next month!"

"Shy?" Mr. Yu was stunned, "That's not true, is it? You didn't steal it from your father. You took one thousand and eighty, and also borrowed two thousand from Wu Shicong and Wu Shijue. Magistrate Lu of Qujing returned two thousand, in total

There are 5,800 taels!"

"Second Young Master," Master Yu Deshui asked, "you have got what you wanted now, why aren't you happy?"

"Me? Where do I have money?" Li Fuhan just shook his head, "All the income from the village outside the city was used to build a retirement home for my brother. He, Ji Zhen, and Shikai's bosses didn't have much money and food, and they don't have much money now.

There are only a few left.”

"Borrow usury?" Mr. Yu frowned, "It's ugly to say usury, but officials in the capital have little money and high expenses, so it's not impossible to borrow money to survive. But the guards' families generally have the foundation, so they won't have to borrow money. If

Second Young Master wants to borrow it, but I have a way."

And because Wang Zhongxiao was born in a coat, he could only theoretically become a bodyguard, even if his father, Wang Fuchen, was a second-grade general soldier!

"Second Young Master," Master Yu said with a complicated expression, "Is he a remnant of the previous dynasty? Isn't it the Third Prince Zhu's men who came to kill the Emperor?"

The restaurant has been lit with candles, and an Eight Immortals table is set with cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks. There is also a stack of peanuts for drinking, a stack of Liubiju pickles, and a stack of pig heads bought from somewhere.

Meat.

Mrs. Li Zhang smiled and said, "You know this person, she is Aunt Zhang Xiaoyu."

"Really?" Li Fuhan looked in disbelief, "This is a bodyguard!"

Li Zhang said: "Shikai, Auntie's method is to ask you to borrow money for turnover, but it's not usury money and you don't have to pay it back."

"What?" Wang Zhongxiao was startled, "Fat Lu from Qujing gave me two thousand? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Both Li Fuhan and Yu Deshui had surprises on their faces. In their opinion, if Wang Zhongxiao became a bodyguard, he would have jumped over the dragon's gate! In today's officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, not counting the mother's birth into the emperor's family, the first-class family background is to be a bodyguard.

, harder than the number one scholar and the first place!

"What? Aunt Xiaoyu, Zhang Xiaobao's sister?"

Why are you still worried?

"If you don't want to return it?" Li Fuhan asked, "Wouldn't it mean that I will take others with me when I go out in the future? This will be even more troublesome!"

"What's done?"

Li Fuhan looked back at his wife: "Do you have any idea?"

"No," Wang Zhongxiao shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not that great. It was just a frightened wild boar. I used a Zhangliu spear to shoot the sky-high spear and killed it on the spot! The emperor and Master Ao both praised him when they saw it.

I am very skilled in martial arts, so I rewarded you with a guard who can guard the gate of Qianqing Gate."

"Yes!" Mrs. Li Zhang said, "She is a popular person around the Empress Dowager. Except for the Emperor, Prince Yu, Fifth Elder Brother, and Grand Master Ao, everyone else has to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

By stuffing banknotes, after all these years, I always have tens of thousands of taels of savings in my hand. Shikai, it’s a bit difficult for others to ask her to borrow money, but it’s not difficult at all for you to ask.”

"Me?" Wang Zhongxiao's heart skipped a beat, "I'm not familiar with her, why should she lend me money?"

"It's your father!" Ms. Li Zhang said with a smile, "Your father hasn't renewed his marriage yet, has he?"

"Not yet." Wang Zhongxiao shook his head and said with big eyes, "Aunt, you mean I sold my father to Aunt Zhang Xiaoyu?"
