Early in the morning, Zhang Fakui was dressed neatly and led his brothers to stand in a row in front of Tingfengge Restaurant. He was full of energy and wanted to welcome Han Wei, the news talker sent by the Han family to Beijing City, with the fullest enthusiasm.
When Han Wei appeared, Zhang Fakui waved his hand, and suddenly the streets were filled with gongs and drums, the deafening sound of suonas, dragon and lion dances, and firecrackers exploding. After the crackling sound of firecrackers, the ground was covered with red debris. The naughty boy rushed into the debris and went crazy.
Grab those cracked firecrackers.
Han Wei is short and thin, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and a short, curved upper lip with an upturned mustache. He looks like the jack of spades in a poker game.
Han Wei was able to come here because Han Fei's poor performance annoyed the senior management of the Han family. Han Wei's arrival was a new opportunity for Zhang Fakui. He wanted to have a good relationship with Han Wei before Han Fei was lifted from the ban.
Hug your thighs tightly and change the mountain. What makes Zhang Fakui feel discouraged is that Han Wei has his own team and he did not come alone.
In the past, Han Wei transported goods to the Han family and had a team of escorts. Some of the escort team were strong and strong, and they were brought to Beishi by Han Wei.
But Zhang Fakui did not back down, but planned to show his hand in front of Han Wei. With a whistle, he summoned all the ruffians and thieves in Bei City to worship Han Wei, the new eldest brother of Bei City, and called him the Big Snakehead.
Han Wei sat in the hall, his face as cold as water: "What is Big Snakehead? I don't like this title. If you want to mess with me, just call me Xiao Wei."
Zhang Fakui exclaimed: "You are the eldest brother, how can you call me Xiao Wei?"
"I'm not a big brother, I'm just an errand boy of the Han family." Han Wei glanced at Zhang Fakui and others coldly and said, "Being a big brother will definitely end well for you?"
Han Wei's words alluded to Han Fei. Zhang Fakui rolled his eyes and immediately said: "It makes sense! You can't be too crazy as a person. You should accumulate more knowledge and strive for victory in a stable manner!"
Han Wei waved his hands and said: "I won't interfere with your Silver Snake Gang's affairs, and I'm here to take care of things, and I'm not here to replace anyone. Maybe your big smuggler will come back in a few days, and I will still have to do it by then.
My old profession. But before he comes back, I hope that brothers can work together to make money together!"
Zhang Fakui was confused by what Han Wei said. He thought it was true at first. Later, when he discovered a series of actions by Han Wei, he felt that something was wrong with him. Zhang Fakui thought that Han Wei's grandson was not related to him.
In fact, it’s all the same stuff.
Han Wei had read Han Fei's accounts and demanded that the money earned this month must be more than last month. The method he gave was also very simple, that is, let the Silver Snake Gang cause trouble and suppress competitors. If this cannot improve the
In order to increase the income, Han Wei will sell the unprofitable stores and forcefully buy the profitable ones.
…
The eldest young master and his wife of the fifth master's family walked out of the Loulan Princess' Mansion cursing because Tang Mei once again rejected her request for payment. The young lady felt very humiliated, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stood at the gate of the Princess' Mansion and began to curse.
Wu Xiaoxiao, who was out buying snacks for the princess, saw this scene, and started arguing with the young lady. The young lady was angry and raised her hands to fight. Wu Xiaoxiao ran away, hiding behind the door with half of his face exposed, and continued to scold the young lady.
Madam.
At this time, the young lady had more to say. She said that the servants of the princess's palace did not understand the rules and dared to contradict me, the wife of the wife who was married in eight carriages. It is true that the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked, and a dog is taking advantage of the power of others. I want to go to Zongzheng Mansion.
Complaint, so on and so forth.
Hearing the curses, Grandma Wang walked out with her waist bent and scolded Wu Xiaoxiao. At this time, the young lady twisted her waist and walked away.
Grandma Wang sounded fierce, but this time she didn't hit Wu Xiaoxiao. Instead, she said to Wu Xiaoxiao, "Next time someone scolds the princess, you should stand up and fight her. Don't be afraid that grandma will say something about you. It's just a show for outsiders."
watch.
"Our princess is not born to be scolded. If our slaves don't help the princess, the princess will be bullied by these bitches. I don't know what the Fourth Young Master thinks. He will leave all the troubles to him.
Our princess. As for our princess, she really gives face to her brother and does all the bad things."
Grandma Wang walked back muttering, and while talking, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Wu Xiaoxiao's pocket.
Every time the maid went out to buy something, she had to be weighed when she came home. If she was missing something, Grandma Wang would yell at her, but today she sent the fruits and pears upstairs without being weighed.
At this time, the princess was reading the account book upstairs, and Su Beixuan, the princess, was sitting beside him, wondering what he was writing. It was said that Su Beixuan was teaching the princess some "formulas", which made the old lady's head go numb.
However, the princess studied it very seriously and said that this "equation" is really convenient.
At this time, Mingyue, the maid in the eighth lady's yard next door, came to invite Su Ping, saying that eighth uncle Lin Tong was about to return to the army and planned to entertain a few friends today as a farewell. Su Ping said, since it was him who was leaving, how could he let her go?
He is the host, so why not I be the host and hold a farewell banquet for him in this princess' mansion.
The maid Mingyue ran back to report the news, and ran back not long after, saying that Lin Tong had prepared wine, meat and vegetables and was just waiting for everyone to pass. So Su Ping prepared some gifts and went next door.
Lin Tong will take the military stagecoach to Chang'an tomorrow, and then transfer from Chang'an to Wuwei to continue to be the Sima of Wuwei.
Lin Tong asked Su Ping if the Su family planned to return to Wuwei?
Su Ping said that both of his younger brothers have joined the army, and since his father is getting older, he should stop dealing with the barbarians. It would be good to live in Chang'an safely for the rest of his life.
"I heard that the second young master Tang Kun and the third young master Tang Ding are leading the troops to continue marching westward. The money for the march was given by the emperor. The emperor said that while our army is at its peak, we will capture the sixteen small countries in the Western Regions and rebuild the capital of Anxi.
Protect the Mansion. In the future, the tax revenue of the Anxi Protectorate will be half of the imperial court and half of the Tang family. Originally, his father-in-law Lao Taishan (An Guogong Tang Qiong) planned to let the eldest son (Tang Qian) take charge of the Western Regions, but he heard that the eldest son was not feeling well, so he returned
To Chang'an." After three drinks, Lin Tong talked about the important events in Longyou.
After he finished speaking, the Fifth Young Master Tang Jian said: "Why is he not feeling well? He doesn't want to go at all. He is sitting in Chang'an, making arrangements for a long time, and is preparing to accept the title of father."
Lin Tong seemed to have a different opinion, but he didn't say anything.
At this time Zhang Hu said: "No matter what they think, as soon as the Hexi Business Road is opened, the number of people from the Western Regions who come to Chang'an to do business will inevitably increase sharply. By then, Chang'an will have money. And there will definitely be many Western Regions people in Luoyang.
People come here. I think the Tang family should find a way to prevent those people from the Western Regions from coming to Luoyang, but to intercept their goods halfway and sell them to Luoyang from the Tang family. This way we can make a lot of money."
Tang Jian smiled and said: "It is indeed a good idea. I will talk to dad about this when he comes back."
Lin Tong smiled and said, "Don't you, my fifth uncle, want to develop in the military?"
Tang Jian sighed and said: "Ever since I got married to that dominatrix, my father has asked me to stay at home. Not to mention wasting my career, even if I have to guard this dominatrix all day long, I have had enough life. Find something for me to do quickly.
Even if you ask me to go to the Western Regions, I will accept it."
It seems that Tang Jian was a little drunk, and he actually said such words. However, the strong character of the Fifth Young Master's wife is indeed enough. She is a tall and thick woman, with a fat head, big ears, a waist face, broad shoulders and a waist, like a sow
Standing. If Tang Jian was late coming home after playing outside, she would block the door with her waist pinched and glared. When she saw Tang Jian, she would take him home and give him a drink.
Lin Tong comforted him and said: "How could my fifth uncle be born in a blessing and not know how blessed he is? The fifth sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the King of Qi, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi is the pillar of the Liang Dynasty. My father-in-law, Lao Taishan, left my fifth uncle at home and refused to let him go.
On the battlefield, I was worried that something might happen, so I cut off contact with King Qi."
Tang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, people will die in wars. Will Old Eleven be gone this time... Well, I have a deep relationship with Brother Eleven. I feel so sad when I heard that he is gone..."
The eleventh son Tang Si, known as a child prodigy, died young, which was a great loss to the Tang family. He did not die in defeat, but in the process of chasing the enemy, he was killed by a cold arrow. People can't help but sigh.
Jealous of talents.
Su Ping couldn't say anything at all, so he just sat aside and listened quietly. He heard that Tang Qiong, Duke of Anguo, was preparing to return to the court, and the troops supporting the Shence Army had also withdrawn.
The Liang Dynasty's army had a five-general system at each level. For example, the headquarters of the Western Expedition Army included Tang Qiong, the general of the Western Expedition, Zhao Guang, the military commander-in-chief, Meng Tie, the governor-general of grain, and Ximen Zaichong, the general staff general.
The deputy general, also known as the "chief deputy", is Tang Qian, the eldest son of the Tang family. These five people are called the five generals of the Western Expedition Army.
The personnel configuration of this Western Expedition can be described as luxurious. Anguo Duke Tang Qiong, Long Prince Zhao Guang, Feihu General Staff Meng Tie, Huben General Staff Ximen Zaichong, and Shence General Staff Tang Qian are all battle-hardened and have powerful generals such as
Yun. This counterattack defeated the Sangla people, and they fled back to the plateau and surrendered.
Lin Tong said: "My father-in-law, Lao Taishan, is coming back soon. He is expected to marry Princess Changxia soon. Unfortunately, I am leaving Luoyang soon and cannot attend the wedding. I send you my blessings."
As he spoke, Lin Tong glanced sideways and said to Su Ping: "I don't know when Baoyu will marry the princess. If Lin goes to Wuwei, he may not be able to come back, and he will not be able to celebrate Baoyu."
Su Ping said: "Brother Kangnian is a general who guards the border. He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. How can he be distracted by my marriage. If there is a wedding day, a letter from us brothers will be a celebration."
When she learned that Lin Tong was leaving, the eighth lady Tang Yun felt sad, wondering when her husband would come back. She wanted to follow him, but her family did not allow it.
This time Lin Tong went home to recuperate, and his health was a little better, so the two of them rolled around on the couch and made little people, but after several months of trying, there was no result.
Miss Eight was anxious, but Lin Tong was not. Because when he was in Wuwei, he had a sweetheart from another courtyard who had already given birth to a son. He just didn't dare to tell Miss Eight for a while.
During this war, Lin Tong escaped in a hurry and was unable to take away his sweetheart and son. He also doesn’t know how their mother and son are doing...
