Zheng Ping put two small tables together and called Chen Qing, "That bastard comes here to drink wine every day. Ignore him. Commander, please take a seat!"
Chen Qing sat down and asked Zhou Kuan and Yang Zaixing to sit down as well. There was a sound of pipa playing next door, and then a young woman began to sing.
"Marquis Zhou Yu, do you come here often?"
Zhou Kuan smiled sheepishly and said, "I've been here twice, with Lao Zhang."
"Where is Zhou Yuhou from?" Chen Qing asked again.
"I'm from Shangdang County. My wife and children are all in Hanzhong. I haven't been back for many years."
"What a coincidence. Except for Fatty Zheng, we are all from Hedong."
"The commander is also from Hedong?"
Chen Qing pointed at himself and Yang Zaixing, "He and I are both from Taiyuan Prefecture."
"What a coincidence, Zhang Yuhou is also from Taiyuan Prefecture!"
Everyone laughed, and at this time, two bartenders came in with drinks and food, and served everyone drinks and food.
Zheng Ping was so greedy that he drank three full glasses of wine, filled his mouth with a few chopsticks of meat and vegetables, and said vaguely: "Today's meal is mine."
At this moment, a woman screamed next door, followed by the sound of dishes being knocked over, and someone shouted: "Catch her!"
With a sound of "Boom!", the door was knocked open, and a girl with only a pipa in her arms ran in hastily. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was quite pretty.
Her face was full of horror. When she saw Zheng Ping, her eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly stepped forward to hold Zheng Ping and begged, "Brother Zheng, help me!"
Zheng Ping was shocked, "Xiao Liu'er, why are you here?"
"I came to sing, and they...they wanted to insult me!"
"I told you, it's dangerous here, don't come here to sing again!"
The girl lowered her head and said uneasily: "But daddy needs money to buy medicine!"
"Didn't I tell you to come to me if you want money?"
The girl whispered: "I can't find you."
Chen Qing glanced at the girl and asked Zheng Ping, "Do you know her?"
Zheng Ping sighed and said to Chen Qing: "She is Yang Hua's sister, her name is Yang Liu'er!"
"What?"
Chen Qing squeezed the wine glass tightly, and his expression suddenly changed. Yang Hua and Zheng Ping both followed him from the beginning. Unfortunately, Yang Hua died in the battle at Jianjun Pass. Unexpectedly, his sister actually made a living by singing and was bullied. Blood surged to her face.
Chen Qing's brain.
At this time, three burly generals appeared at the door, led by Fu Moshan, who was 1.9 meters tall.
He called a girl who was singing. Fu Moshan drank a few more glasses of wine. Seeing that the girl was pretty, he had evil thoughts. Unexpectedly, the girl was very clever and escaped through the back door.
"Oh! What a coincidence, it's Commander Chen!" Fu Moshan saw Chen Qing.
Chen Qing glanced at him coldly, "What's the matter?"
Fu Moshan already knew about Chen Qing's appointment as the commander of the Qinzhou Army, and he was very jealous. However, he also knew that Chen Qing was powerful. If a conflict occurred, he would definitely suffer a big loss, so he did not dare to be too arrogant in front of him.
Fu Moshan pointed at the girl and said with a smile: "This little lady took my money to sing a song, only sang half of it and then ran away. She has to finish singing for me."
"Nonsense! You didn't give me a penny." The girl said angrily.
The two generals behind them stared, "General Fu wants you to sing because he thinks highly of you. Sing obediently, the money will be indispensable for you!"
Chen Qing couldn't control his emotions, but this was Dasanguan, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he gave Zheng Ping a wink and asked him to handle the matter.
Zheng Ping stood up, picked up the wine glass and said with a squinted smile: "Old man, this is Dasanguan, the military discipline is strict, it will not benefit you or me if we make trouble, Xiaoliu is my sister, fat brother, I would like to drink this glass of wine to you, give me a face
, next time you go to Lin'an, how about I treat you to some Biluo wine brewed by the Queen Mother?"
Among Chen Qing's men, Fu Moshan only dared to bully Yang Yuanqing, but he did not dare to provoke Zheng Ping. Zheng Ping had a background, and even his uncle had to give him three points of courtesy.
Zheng Ping's words were soft but hard at the same time, directly using his background as Queen Mother to threaten Fu Moshan.
If it weren't for Chen Qing, Fu Moshan would have admitted it, but Chen Qing was beside him, and one of his subordinates took care of him without him even needing to show up. Fu Moshan couldn't let go of this face.
One of Fu Moshan's subordinates shouted: "Fat Zheng, who do you think you are? You dare to threaten our Commander Fu!"
Fu Moshan's expression changed, he turned around and gave his subordinate a slap in the face, and said angrily: "Uncle Xiao Guo invited me to drink, it's your turn to interrupt!"
At this moment he came to his senses. The person behind his family was Zhu Shengfei, who had offended Queen Mother Zheng. Zhu Shengfei would not spare his father, and he could not afford to offend Fatty Zheng.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it down, "Well, you Fatty Zheng, I'll be cruel this time, I'll give this woman to you, let's go!"
Fu Moshan glanced at Chen Qing again and saw that Chen Qing was drinking with his head down, as if he didn't recognize him and didn't even say a word.
Fu Moshan was extremely angry, turned around and angrily walked downstairs. Several generals followed him. The shopkeeper looked on helplessly and did not dare to step forward to ask for wine money.
"He seems to have grown up, and he can tolerate such a coward?" Chen Qing looked at Fu Moshan's back and said with a smile.
Zheng Ping snorted, "He has always had the character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If it were Yang Yuanqing today, he would definitely look different."
Chen Qing's eyes turned to the girl again, "What's going on with her?"
Zheng Ping sighed, "Her father took her around to look for Yang Hua, and they have been making a living by singing. Later, they also fled to Hanzhong, and then came to Dashanguan to look for Yang Hua. Until a few months ago, I met him while drinking
Lao Yang and I placed them in Houguancun. His father is in poor health and has some bad habits. I have always been worried about him and visited them from time to time."
"What bad habit?"
"bet!"
Chen Qing immediately understood that Zheng Ping was worried that the girl would be sold into a brothel by his father.
Chen Qing glanced at the girl again and saw that she was timidly hiding behind Zheng Ping. He also thought of how ashamed she was when she met Zheng Ping. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. This young lady seemed to have some kind of interest in Zheng Ping.
"She knows who I am!"
Zheng Ping slapped his forehead and said, "I actually forgot to introduce you."
He quickly pulled the girl over, pointed at Chen Qing and said: "This is Commander Chen, the benefactor your father has been clamoring to repay every day!"
The girl had vaguely guessed it. She knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Qing, "My benefactor, please bow to me!"
Chen Qing glared at Zheng Ping angrily. Zheng Ping quickly helped the girl up and said sarcastically: "If you bow again, he will beat me."
Zheng Ping said softly: "Xiao Liu, your father is actually not sick. I guessed it right!"
The girl's eyes suddenly turned red, and she suddenly lay on Zheng Ping's generous shoulder and began to cry sadly.
Chen Qing frowned, "Zheng Ping, what's going on?"
Zheng Ping sighed, "Commander, I have something that may not sound good, but I have been holding it in my heart for a long time, so I have to say it."
"Say it! I'm not angry."
"If you give them so much pension money all at once, sometimes it may not be a good thing."
Chen Qing glanced at Yang Liu, "You mean, her father is a gambler?"
Zheng Ping nodded, "Her father is a good drinker and gambler. He used to have no money, so he would drink when he earned some money from singing, and he didn't gamble much. But after receiving the sixty-pound pension, he started gambling. I'm very happy
I was worried about Xiaoliu and ran to warn her father from time to time, but he didn't listen at all, so when Xiaoliu appeared here, I guess something must have happened."
"Miss Yang, is that right?"
Yang Liu cried and said: "Dad ran away to gamble for several days and nights. The night before yesterday, he came back red-eyed and followed by several men. Only then did I know that not only did dad lose all his money, but he also owed a lot of debt. He
If I couldn't pay it back, they wanted to arrest me to pay off the debt. I escaped from the back window and came to Dasanguan to find Brother Zheng, but he was no longer there. I really had no choice but to come to the restaurant to sell my singing, but I would never sell myself, and I had no choice.
Someone has taken advantage of me."
At the end of her speech, she glanced at Zheng Ping with regret.
Zhou Kuan couldn't help but laugh. He leaned into Chen Qing's ear and smiled: "This little lady is very interesting to General Zheng!"
Chen Qing had noticed it a long time ago. It was estimated that Zheng Ping had been helping their father and daughter all the time, and the young lady's heart fell in love with Zheng Ping.
Chen Qing has been in a bad mood these days and has no time or energy to take care of Yang Hua's family, so he simply leaves it to Zheng Ping to handle it!
"Zheng Ping, come here!"
Chen Qing took Zheng Ping outside the door and pointed inside the house, "What are you going to do?"
Zheng Ping said with a bitter face: "She is Yang Hua's sister, and Yang Hua's father. Before you were away, I had to take care of it. Now that you are back, you can't let me take care of it anymore!"
"I leave the others to Lao Yang, but they are different and must be managed by you!"
"You...you are unreasonable!"
Chen Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "After you and Xiao Yi left Lin'an, I visited your father again. Your father was very frank. He said that he was not worried about anything else. He was just afraid that you would die in battle and have no heirs. I think this Xiao Liu looks very good.
Yes, she is also an innocent woman, why not take her as your wife or concubine, it is up to you!"
Zheng Ping's eyes widened, "Xiao Yi likes her, so don't mess with her!"
Chen Qing's eyes widened, "Xiaoyi Company can't take care of itself, so it has to take care of others. This is a military order, so it's decided."
Zheng Ping planned to visit a brothel tonight! He had been looking forward to it for several days, but now his plan was disrupted. He said helplessly: "They may not be willing to do it!"
Chen Qing waved to Yang Liu'er, who walked forward weakly. Chen Qing pointed at Zheng Ping and said, "Fat Zheng has a soft spot for you. Are you willing to marry him?"
Zheng Ping and Yang Liu didn't expect Chen Qing to speak so straightforwardly. Their faces turned red. Zheng Ping moved his thick lips and wanted to explain, but under Chen Qing's sharp gaze, he swallowed the words he spoke.
go back.
Yang Liu glanced at Zheng Ping, bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "I do!"
