On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was still dark. In a daze, Liang Rong turned over and found that everything around him was empty. He was shocked and sat up immediately.
The wife next to me disappeared unexpectedly. When I listened carefully, I heard faint voices coming from the outer hall.
He quickly put on his clothes and shoes and came to the lobby, where he saw his wife carrying luggage and about to go out with her two children.
Both boys and girls were sobbing quietly.
"Mom, I don't want to leave, don't leave daddy!"
"I'm not leaving either!"
Liang Rong was furious, stared at his wife Ding, and said sternly: "What are you doing?"
Mrs. Ding sneered and said: "Of course I took the two children back to my parents' home. Should I continue to follow you, a loser, eating chaffy vegetables?"
Liang Rong strode over, grabbed the two children, and said angrily: "If you want to go, go by yourself, the children must follow me!"
Ding put her hands on her hips and sneered: "Can you feed them? Now you are just a captain of ten. How many days can you stay at home and how much money do you have a month?"
Liang Rong's face was ashen and he said nothing.
Ding made a sound and said: "I was so blind that I married such a loser like you. Others are getting bigger and bigger as officials, but you are getting smaller and smaller. From a general to a ten husband
Long!"
Liang Rong said angrily: "You spent money lavishly and advised me to accept gifts from others. Didn't I break military regulations?"
Ding sneered and said: "The word "official" means official. Don't you just want to collect money when you are an official? You are so useless. Why don't you get into trouble when people collect money? You only collected a few money and you were kicked out of the military camp?"<
/p>
Liang Rong was furious and raised his hand to slap Mr. Ding.
Ding raised her face and said: "Hit, you hit!"
Liang Rong gritted his teeth, pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here!"
Mrs. Ding snorted and said, "I was about to leave. If I continue to follow you, an unlucky guy, I won't be able to live longer!" After saying that, she didn't care about the child, and left with her baggage on her back.
The two children went over to grab her and shouted: "Mom, don't leave!"
Ding shook them off and quickly disappeared out the door without looking back.
Liang Rong slowly walked to the chair and sat down, staring blankly at the ground without saying a word.
The two children called him several times, but saw no response from him, so one of them hugged one of his legs and sobbed softly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man walked in and shouted: "Brother Liang, why is your door not bolted?"
Liang Rong came to his senses and looked up, only to see Sun Hu striding into the lobby, holding an oil paper bag and a wine bottle in his hands.
I don’t know what’s in the oil paper bag, but it emits an alluring fragrance.
"Dad, I'm hungry." The girl smelled the fragrance in the oil paper bag and whispered.
The boy pursed his lips. Although he was also very hungry, he could not say anything.
Sun Hu laughed and opened the oil paper bag, revealing a roast chicken inside.
He tore off half of the roasted chicken, divided the other half into two, and handed it to the two children.
The girl reached out to take it and immediately opened her mouth to eat. However, the boy looked at Liang Rong eagerly, with his hands behind his back, waiting for his father to speak.
Liang Rong sighed and touched the boy's head.
"Eat."
The boy then took the roasted chicken and said, "Thank you, Uncle Sun!" and started eating it.
At this time, Sun Hu also noticed the tears on the faces of the two children, frowned, and said: "Brother Liang, has something happened?"
Liang Rong didn't say anything. He opened the wine bottle that Sun Hu brought and started drinking.
While the girl was eating, she cried: "Mom is gone!"
Sun Hu snorted and said: "Brother Liang, don't blame me for talking too much. That woman is really not a good match for you. You might as well let her go!"
Liang Rong laughed and said: "Yes, let's go, let's go!" His tone was full of sadness, and he suddenly whispered: "Brother Sun, I want to leave the military camp!"
Sun Hu changed his expression and said: "Why is this? Your Majesty is about to march westward, and everyone will take more care of you and give you opportunities to make meritorious deeds. I believe you will be reinstated soon!"
Liang Rong sighed sadly, looked at the two children and said, "If I go to fight, what will they do?"
Sun Hu said loudly: "What kind of problem is this? Just let them go to my house and let my wife take care of them. My boy can also learn more from your son."
Liang Rong looked grateful and said: "Brother Sun, you have helped me a lot, I can't..."
Sun Hu waved his hand and said: "We are brothers, so don't talk nonsense! Come, let's drink and eat meat!"
Liang Rong clenched his fists and said loudly: "Okay, although I, Liang Rong, have married the wrong wife in my life, I finally made a good brother. It's worth it!"
While the two were eating and drinking, Liang Rong suddenly said: "By the way, last night, I heard someone said that there was an emergency military situation in Haozhou. What was it?"
Sun Hu snorted and said: "Zhao Jun used that old boy to sneak attack Haozhou while I was away! In the end, he was taken care of by two kids..."
With that, he explained in detail how Lan Yu and Han Lin'er defeated the Sizhou Army.
Liang Rong was silent for a while and said: "It is indeed remarkable that you can win such a battle at such a young age."
Sun Hu rubbed his nose and hummed: "If I were in Haozhou, I could beat the Sizhou army and make them cry for their father and mother, and capture Zhao Junyong alive!"
Liang Rong changed the subject and said: "Did you win the Cuju competition yesterday?"
Sun Hu lowered his head and said: "No, Marshal Xu won the first place, Chang Yuchun's team came in second, we barely beat Marshal Shan and got third!"
Liang Rongdao: "With Fu Youde and Bian Yuanheng beside Marshal Xu, it is normal for him to win first place."
Both of them are veterans of the Shanzhai, and they only respect those generals who originally belonged to the Shanzhai. They secretly call the "juniors" who later joined the Jiangdu Army by their first names.
Sun Hu's face sank and he said: "Brother Liang, do you still remember Kang Maocai?"
Liang Rong nodded and said: "Of course I remember. When I made a mistake, I approached him to deal with it. I heard that he was also implicated and kicked out of the military camp."
Sun Hu sneered: "This guy is back in office now!"
Liang Rong changed his color and said: "How could it be?"
Sun Hu said coldly: "This kid is also a master of Cuju. With his skills, he actually managed to please Fu Youde, and with Fu Youde's help, he was exonerated of his original crime!"
Liang Rong slapped the table and said angrily: "Fu Youde is so brave. He dares to change the case that Her Royal Highness the Princess personally decided!"
Sun Hu said: "I reported this matter to the king and princess at that time, but they didn't say anything!"
Liang Rong's heart felt like a knife, and he drank quietly without saying a word.
Not long after, the bottle of wine was finished. Sun Hu stood up, carrying the empty wine bottle, and said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I can't stay out for too long. I have to go back!"
Liang Rong sent him to the door. After returning home, he went to the cabinet and prepared to withdraw some money to buy some meat so that the two children could have a meal of dumplings.
Unexpectedly, when I opened the money box, it was empty.
"Dad, mom took all the money away." The boy stood aside and whispered.
Liang Rong took a deep breath and touched the boy's head.
"It's okay, daddy will go out for a while and you guys will take care of the house."
After leaving the gate, I was going to Sun Mansion to borrow some money from Sun Hu.
While walking along the alley, I suddenly saw a short man walking towards me.
Liang Rong's expression changed slightly, and he stood motionless, staring at the man.
"Brother Liang, long time no see." The man was clearly Kang Maocai, and he was holding a gift box in his hand.
Liang Rong snorted and was about to pass by him.
Kang Maocai stretched out his hand to block the way and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, I came to your house specially to pay New Year greetings. Why don't you greet the guests?"
Liang Rong glared at him and said: "I have never been friends with you, how come you came to my house to pay New Year's greetings?"
Kang Maocai sighed: "General Liang, I am implicated in that case just like you. I am not as good as you. I was expelled from the military camp and even lost my livelihood. This feeling of falling from the sky to the ground at once, I believe
You can feel it!"
Liang Rong was startled, and the guard in his eyes gradually relaxed.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something and said coldly: "No, we are different! Didn't you rely on that Marshal Fu to reinstate his position?"
Kang Maocai sighed: "Yes, I used the Cuju official to reinstate me. I also know that many people look down on me. But I want to ask, if Brother Liang had such an opportunity, would he let it go?"
Liang Rong was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Kang Maocai continued: "There is no fairness in this world. It was also due to collusion with businessmen. Brother Liang ended up like this, but some people are free and easy."
He laughed at himself and said: "To live in this world, you can only adapt, right?"
Liang Rong changed his color and said: "Who do you think is free and easy?"
Kang Maocai said calmly: "It's the Marshal Fu whom I took refuge in. He used his wife's family to collect bribes from countless businessmen, but it's a pity that no one knows about it!"
Liang Rong said sharply: "Is this really happening?"
Kang Maocai said: "With my current relationship with Marshal Fu, will I slander him? If I didn't sympathize with Brother Liang's experience, I would never say this!"
Liang Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
Kang Maocai glanced at him and said: "Brother Liang, even if I have it, I can't give it to you. I hope you can understand!"
Liang Rong took a deep breath and said: "I am the one who made things difficult for others. Fu Youde! Fu Youde! I never thought that the king would reuse such a person!"
Kang Maocai sighed: "I finally understand the ups and downs this time. A person can only rely on himself. Those who think more about themselves will live a better life! A loyal man like Brother Liang can only end up like this.
Plant the seeds!"
Liang Rong was startled and said sadly: "Yes, you are right. In this world, loyalty is indeed of no use! Brother Kang, please come to my house to talk!"
