Chapter 840 Hometown(1/5)
Listening to Chen Pingan's defense, he didn't even hesitate to throw dirty water on his husband. Ning Yao remained silent. Chen Pingan changed a bench and went to sit next to Ning Yao. She looked even more angry and unwilling.
Sitting next to him, he moved his position. Chen Ping'an didn't push his limits, so he just sat in his original position and drank quietly.
Love between a man and a woman, what does it mean to be romantic and ruthless? It means that a person clearly only has a jar of true wine, but he drinks it whenever he meets someone.
What is deep love? It means burying a jar of wine deep in your heart, and then drinking it alone one day until you finish it. How can you not get drunk?
It's just that Chen Ping'an was holding the wine bottle in one hand and quietly placing it on the bench between the two of them with the other hand, sneaking closer to Ning Yao like a crab running rampant.
Just when he was about to succeed, Ning Yao suddenly punched him on the back of his hand. The strength of his hand was so strong that Chen Ping An was so angry that he let out a light drink. When Ning Yao put away his fist, Chen Ping An quickly raised the back of his hand and rubbed it.
Rub your chin.
After a moment of silence, Ning Yao asked: "You seem to have a changed impression of Song Jixin?"
Earlier in the courtyard, Chen Ping'an talked about this neighbor who had been his neighbor for many years when he was young. Although his words were hurtful, his evaluation was actually quite good.
Chen Pingan nodded, "I won't talk about big things anymore. Song Jixin has done a lot. I will only talk about one small thing."
Song Jixin, who became the king of the Great Li vassal Song Mu, was on the front line of the battlefield and was responsible for the central dispatch.
, although the specific formation of troops, there are generals like Su Gaoshan and Cao Ping who are familiar with war, but in fact many key matters, or some things that seem to be acceptable, will actually affect the situation.
Song Mu needs to make decisions on his own regarding the follow-up trend of the war situation.
If he was just a king of the Dali vassal with an empty title, and he was just a decoration in the vassal residence that was responsible for stabilizing the morale of the army at the expense of his life, he would never win the respect of the Dali border troops and the monks on the Baopingzhou Mountain.
"The territory under the jurisdiction of the capital of Da Li, including many vassal states, and all the states, counties, and counties, as long as they lend usury to students in all academies and private schools, Song Jixin ordered the courts and local governments of all countries to lend money to those who loaned money at usury.
, after being caught, one of their hands was chopped off. If they dared to escape, fled across the border, and went to hide elsewhere, the crime would be increased, and both hands would be gone.
"Actually, it's not a trivial matter. It's just that compared to other feudal lords, the important matters of accompanying the capital seem inconspicuous."
Ning Yao said: "It really doesn't seem like something Song Jixin would do."
In her impression, Song Jixin was a young man who had no worries about food and clothing. He also had a maid with a different name, appearance, and personality. One was squeamish and the other was pretentious. When they were put together, they were a perfect match.
Chen Pingan explained with a smile: "Maybe Song Jixin thinks that when scholars have no money, they have to have no money. Before leaving school, if you don't have money, you should study hard, study hard every day, and work hard.
Fame. It’s just a young student or a young Confucian scholar who inevitably doesn’t have enough determination. Song Jixian went to settle accounts with those who had the guts to earn this money."
"What Song Jixin hated most when he was a child was that he had no worries about food and clothing and had too much money in his pocket. This is not really hypocritical of him. After all, who would listen to his neighbors poking his spine and scolding him for being an illegitimate child every day?
It’s uncomfortable.”
"Song Jixin is such a squeamish person. When he came to a place like Mu Bottle Lane, he never moved out. Maybe it was because he thought I was similar to him. One had no parents, and the other had no parents.
So living in Mu Ping Lane will keep Song Ji Xin from getting too upset."
Chen Pingan finished his drink, placed the empty wine bottle on the bench, poured some salted soybeans from his sleeve into the palm of his hand, and handed it to Ning Yao, who passed half of it over.
After learning boxing, especially after becoming a pure martial artist in the Golden Body realm, Chen Pingan's calluses on his hands and feet have faded away.
Chen Pingan twisted a soybean and threw it into his mouth, knocking his shoes lightly.
The pair of cloth shoes on his feet were sewn by the old cook himself. The craftsmanship is undoubtedly more exquisite than women's needlework. On the Luolu Mountain, those who are willing to wear cloth shoes will have their share. As for how many pairs Jiang Shangzhen has, it's hard to say.
Especially how much money Jiang Shangzhen spent is hard to say.
In fact, Xiao Nuanshu made two pairs of cloth shoes, but Chen Ping'an couldn't bear to wear them, so he kept them inside Fang Cunwu.
Chen Ping'an was sure that if he brought Ning Yao back to Luolu Mountain this time, Ning Yao would definitely have one. Nuan Shu, the busiest little housekeeper every day, couldn't think of anything.
Chen Ping'an ate salted soybeans, smiling and squinting his eyes with gentle eyes, as if he saw a girl in a pink skirt who left her house early in the morning. When she walked alone in a deserted place, she would gently roll up her sleeves and walk briskly.
When I almost reached the door of a house, I slowed down, picked up a bunch of keys, skillfully selected one, opened the door, broom, rag, water ladle, bucket... all in good order, and got busy, sweeping the courtyard, wiping the tables and stools, and drying them.
bedding……
What, you big Li cavalry dare to surround me, Luo Luoshan?
Chen Pingan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the palace.
Maybe those eleven Earthly Branches haven't realized one thing yet, that he is higher than the white-clothed Chen Ping'an, after all, the latter is only a part of him.
This means that at a certain moment, Chen Pingan knew all the methods of the pure god, and in the fight in the cage, his other self did not use his full strength at all.
Ning Yao noticed Chen Pingan's change in mood, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Ping'an put away his eyes and said with a smile: "It's nothing. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I went back to find some wood and make a food box for midnight snacks."
Ning Yao didn't bother to ask what this anger had to do with carpentry work and late-night snacks. He just asked: "Will Nanhao really take the initiative to hand over the porcelain pieces within half a month?"
"If you ignore the natal lamp that I found later, it may not necessarily be true."
"So you were just trying to scare her in the house?"
"It's not all about scaring her. It's mainly about making her sleepless and foodless, making her suspicious, and she will see that everyone is a ghost."
Chen Pingan sneered and said slowly: "This Queen Mother is actually an extremely accomplished person. She refused to hand over the broken piece of porcelain even to death. It was not just because she was lucky at first and wanted to pursue benefits.
To maximize the possibility, her original idea was that the best situation would arise, that is, I would be in the house and nod to the deal on the spot. In this way, one, not only would she not have to return the porcelain tiles, but she would also be able to win over the Dali court.
A sword cultivator of the upper five realms and a martial artist of the ultimate realm has no name of worship, but the reality of worship."
"Besides the imitation white jade capital of the companion capital, there are monks from the Earthly Branches lineage behind the scenes, slowly accumulating their cultivation. There are me and Luo Luoshan in the open. It is naturally very beneficial to the Song family of Dali. It is obviously her
She made a mistake first and made a sinister plan, but she wanted me to ignore the past grudges against her and turn her enemy into a friend. The second benefit is that among the other eight continents in the world, the Song family of Dali can earn a reputation for treating meritorious people favorably.
.”
"Third, as the sect leader of Luolu Mountain, I have a close relationship with Beiju Luzhou. The next sect was founded in Tongyezhou, and Da Li can get a share of the pie. Of course, the Da Li court will be very pragmatic in doing things, and both parties will benefit from it.
Reciprocity. Fourth, I am still the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall. In the future, there will definitely be foreign swordsmen like Liu Jinglong, Xie Songhua, and Yu Yue who come to have relations with Aquarius Continent and Dali. This pair of Dali dynasty
His luck in swordsmanship is of great benefit invisibly."
"Finally, as your disciple, I can help build a bridge between the Song family in Dali and the Confucian Temple, so that the Song family can completely put aside the Yunlin Jiang family."
"Treasures from heaven, materials and earth are given to whom are they not given? For example, the Eleven Earthly Branches and the two yamen of Dali spent a lot of money. The cost of a random fight is calculated with Guyu money."
Chen Ping'an threw the last bit of salted soybeans in his hand into his mouth and said vaguely: "These are the reasons why she was so easy to talk to in the first place. As the Queen Mother of a country, she is so considerate of the overall situation. To say that she is humble is a disgrace."
, it’s not an exaggeration at all. Although Da Li owes a lot of foreign debts now, his family is actually very rich. If the senior brother hadn’t been preparing for the second war, he would have expected that the frontier cavalry would need to rush to the wilderness, and he would be able to help casually.
Let the Dali court pay off its debts."
Ning Yao said: "I have gained fame and benefits, and this Nanzhan took advantage of me and made good calculations."
Chen Pingan clapped his hands and said, "To say that she has long hair and short knowledge is an injustice to our Empress Dowager Da Li."
Ning Yao frowned and said: "There must be a bigger reason that supports her to fight to the end. Is it the Lu family in Middle-earth?"
Chen Ping'an hummed, "As long as you are an individual, you will always have things you care about, and Nan Hairpin is certainly no exception. For example, what will Dali's surname be in the future, whether it will be Song, whether her son will be the emperor, and whether the Dali dynasty will still be the emperor."
Can she keep half of the territory of Aquarius Continent? Can she keep her dignified status as Queen Mother? Especially whether she can re-enter politics. For example, while my senior brother is gone, will she have the opportunity to control the earth branch monks? And then she
Her own Taoist life, or as a descendant of the Lu family, whether there is anything more important than her life as a chess piece placed by the Lu family in the Aquarius Continent, etc. Each has its own weight and depth. Anyway, the more important it is, the more important it is.
Those who can't help but practice Taoism will have things that are more important than life and death. After all, there are many methods on the mountain that make it very difficult for people to just die."
On the other hand, for the old servant of the Qingluan Kingdom Lion Park, his reputation is more important than his life. Of course, it is not a sanctimonious and empty name.
Su Gaoshan, the hunting envoy of the Great Li, has his inner ambition. His identity as a general from the Han tribe is more important than his life.
Ning Yao asked: "Earthly Branches only lacks a pure martial artist, so Dali has never thought about Pei Qian?"
Chen Pingan said: "I must have thought about it, but it seems that senior brother has no such plan, and Pei Qian will not agree."
Ning Yao asked again: "Now, have you never thought about asking Pei Qian to replenish the earthly branches? Since you are not going to the wild world, you actually have an official status. Whether you are traveling in the world or practicing cultivation, you are very stable."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "I won't agree."
Ning Yao shook his head, "Are you not agreeing, or do you think Pei Qian is not agreeing? Don't forget, Pei Qian killed enemies with punches in both Jinjia Continent and Aquarius Continent without any ambiguity. Why didn't you ask Pei Qian himself?
the meaning of?"
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this.
Ning Yao said: "If Pei Qian wanted to do it herself, would you still stop her?"
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, "Maybe he won't stop me."
Chen Pingan then laughed softly and said: "There is no way, even now, as long as I don't look at Pei Qian standing in front of me, it seems that she is still the little Heitan with two buns in her hair."
A dark little girl, slender and thin, with two small arms that dangle like willow branches when she runs.
She is noisy, timid, and has a lot of thoughts. She can think faster than anyone else and is more cunning than Li Huai. She can easily deceive people who don't know her details and send them thousands of miles away.
