Chapter 46 Birthday Present
Chapter 46 Birthday Present
Xiao Chu got the consent of the owner of Shui Zhuang, and he couldn't wait to spread the news to the imperial capital. He didn't make much fanfare—the window paper hasn't been pierced yet—but everyone obviously knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song.A few days after the news was delivered, the imperial court sent someone to deliver several carts of ice bricks and fresh melons and fruits to the Chief Attorney in the name of a summer allowance.The gift was justified, and Shi Ke received it with peace of mind.Coincidentally, there were two young men who were acquaintances of Xiao Chu who escorted the car, and they were on a business trip along the way and took a vacation.It's a coincidence, no, both of them have good skills, both of them are homeless and unemployed, and the whole family is full of food. If the husband doesn't mind, can you also come to another hospital for a few days to escape the summer heat? You can be a nursing home for nothing. By the way, be a master of martial arts for the young master or something...
Water owner: The house is very big, and there are many empty rooms.
O(∩_∩)OThank you sir.
Then, within a few days, two more carts were delivered to Shan Zhongxiu's gate.The silk brocade and the new tea that are bestowed by the government in summer.Not only Shi Ke has it, but several elders in the cabinet have a share, which is the daily welfare of the cabinet members, and this has to be collected.It’s just that in addition to the two carts, there are four other coachmen who are also highly skilled martial arts single dogs who happen to be homeless on vacation...
A few days later, a carload of jade, gold and silver rewards and playthings came up the mountain, this time accompanied by a palace attendant announcing the rewards, saying that it was for the conscientious and dedicated Master Shi because of the recent achievements of the legal office.Mr. Shi scanned the gold and silver artifacts, and found nothing else, except for a delicate bow with ox horns, which was just the right size for a Luzi who was just getting started in archery.
What a coincidence.
Later, Shui Qingqian was able to drink a small cup of fresh deer milk every day, because Shan Zhongxiu had two more pairs of sika deer.
In addition to those given by the imperial court, Shi Ke's colleagues also sent gifts to Shan Zhongxiu under the pretext of the summer solstice.Among the many gifts, the water is clear and shallow enough to get some small animals, some gold, silver and jade ornaments, some four treasures of the study, and all kinds of miscellaneous things together, they gathered a whole camphor wood box.Shui Qingqian not only sorted out the big box, but also personally wrote a detailed account of the part he collected. Shi Ke was amazed at such a well-organized behavior at such a young age.
"I'm not a child," Shui Qingqian declared, shaking the account book in her hand, drinking milk and still having to worry about a housekeeper, "They're called Zui, Weng, Zhi, Yi, No, Zai, Jiu! "
Three parents: ……………
Father Shui: "Hehehehe, who are you talking about?"
Shui Qingqian: "Don't make trouble with Dad, I'm eight years old!" It's an adult!
Father Shui: "It's still six days away."
"This reminds me!" Shui Qingqian sat up suddenly, raised her head and shouted towards the sky, "I want a Subaru, Sun, Xing, Guan...... My [-], [-], [-], Xing, Xing , Just, get together! All together! La!"
Father Shui raised his head and looked at the sky in bewilderment, there was not a single cloud in the sky, "Luzi, you don't think that just by shouting like that, a Pleiades will fall from the sky, right?"
Mother supported her forehead, "Luzi, it's not your birthday yet. Besides, you don't have to shout so loudly when you wish on your birthday."
Grandpa: "If you make a wish, you must say it silently in your heart, and the gods will know."
"I understand." Shui Qingqian (¬_¬) "But it's useless for gods to know, they don't know."
Three parents: ………
Those them: ………
On the day of Shui Qingqian's birthday, the biggest surprise is Brother Azhao's reply letter and gift.During the winter of last year, Shui Qingqian wrote a letter to Brother Azhao, and agreed to ask Uncle Cheng Jing to help pass it on, but nothing came of it. It took so long to receive a reply. Uncle Cheng is indeed unreliable, Shui Qingqian concluded.
But Azhao’s brother’s birthday gift perfectly attracted the remaining attention of Little Luzi. The general’s armor of the chief of the Imperial Coast Guard was custom-made according to the size of the clear water, and it was exactly the same as the real one on General Shao Mingchuan—— Shi Ke has already verified it, and he doesn't feel wrong at all about Xiao Luzi's ostentatious behavior in wearing the combat uniform of the second-rank official of the imperial court.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa therefore the best!"
Father Shui raised his eyebrows, indeed, this gift is really unique, how can Shao Mingchuan's general armor be used for play?But it was delivered right away. It could be liked by Luzi, but also implicitly revealed the extraordinary identity of the gift giver. It was not as popular as gold, silver and jade, and it was not eye-catching as a maverick.At least, those Jinwu Guards didn't take it seriously.Spread your hands, battle armor for sea combat, how many landlubbers have never seen it.
In fact, Father Shui also prepared a big gift for his son on this day.It's just this great gift, he will never tell him.He only hopes that his baby can grow up happily and carefree. As a father, he must have a pair of strong and indestructible wings, daring to strangle any forces that attempt to threaten his son's safety.
After giving Shui Qingqian his birthday, Shi Ke is almost ready to return to the imperial capital, and he can't pretend to be too arrogant when he pretends to be sick, right?But before he set off, the world outside had already changed.
Let me talk about the distance of the rivers and lakes first.
It is the gang of kidnappers, child traffickers, and animal scum who run prostitutes and duck houses, which is becoming a thing of the past.The wind in the rivers and lakes is tight.No matter how high the background or how powerful the black hand behind that kind of business is, the person who executes the kidnapping, trafficking, and running of prostitutes is, after all, a hooligan in the gutter of the city.The so-called rivers and lakes are all about the rivers and lakes, just kick the door and start killing, slaughtering these black-hearted guys all over the house, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!What kind of government contacts, gray □ □ all make them useless.
In other words, ever since Little Luzi was kidnapped, the owner of Shui Zhuang used all his contacts and forces to dig three feet into the ground, and it took several months to find out all the strongholds of those prostitutes. Blood flowed like a river, pulling out those prostitutes and secret doors, and killing the forces behind them by surprise.
Everything is going to be thunderous and swift.Let the forces behind the scenes, even if they can get the news in time, they will not have time to react; even if they have time to react, they will have no reason to act.
It's all fights by people from the Jianghu, even if there are government forces behind the scenes, this kind of Jianghu grievances, especially the kind of Jianghu grievances that are not on the table, the perpetrators can only choose to swallow the bitter fruit.
Not to mention, the forces behind it are already overwhelmed.
Above the temple, a thunderstorm shocked everyone for a long time:
The Xu Mansion in Tianren Mansion was completely destroyed, not a single one was left alive.
(⊙o⊙) What?
What do you mean?
How can it be!
There are hundreds of people, descendants of the direct branches... Even if you kill five hundred pigs, you will be busy for ten days and a half months. If the whole family is exterminated, how big is it to commit such a crime... …
No, it's not a man-made disaster, it's a natural disaster.
Another natural disaster.
Didn't they go back to the countryside to worship their ancestors and build temples and tombs? In the spring, Xu's descendants set off one after another, and the ancestral residences in Caodian Township, Xiangda County gathered in all directions, and the offshoots of the direct line that had been passed down for 500 years gathered together. .Because it is rumored that the genealogy needs to be compiled, the direct branches and offshoots have their own plans, so it is probably the first time in hundreds of years that Xu's ancestral land is so lively, and the ancestral house in the countryside in the col is not enough to live in.
Maybe it’s because of the rainy summer, maybe it’s because the servants cut down the woods on the mountain excessively because they built the house before, maybe it’s because they abducted and sold children to make black-hearted money, Mr. Renshu said that they will be condemned by God... In short, just sacrifice in the ancestral hall On the same day, the mountain dragon descended the mountain, and the rumbling downhill engulfed a large amount of clay and silt, almost filling up the entire depression in the Xu Clan's land in the blink of an eye.
No one can be sure how many members of Xu's family suffered in this natural disaster, and there is no way to determine whether the whole family was really wiped out.Anyway, after several days of the earthquake, a certain herb picker accidentally discovered the tragic event and reported it layer by layer. After the news spread to the imperial capital, there was a huge uproar.The first reaction of many people is: the brains of those who make up nonsense are flooded!Can such rumors be believed?
But later, we got confirmation news from the Yamen officials one after another, confirming that it was a natural disaster with no survivors.Including the imperial court, including the in-laws, and the other three Heavenly Mansions were all stunned and at a loss.Not to mention anything else, they didn't even know how to deal with the affairs of the Xu family's afterlife. They were all dead, and there were no bones left. They couldn't even make up for the funeral.
This appalling tragedy caused great commotion in the imperial capital, even the owner of the water village and the others could hear all kinds of gossip in the village, but it had nothing to do with the owner of the water village and his family.I'm not familiar with them anyway.
This is a natural disaster, or it can be called reluctantly, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation.
As a member of the imperial court, Shi Ke had to go to the Xu Mansion to express his condolences at any rate, and to leave the formality. Therefore, he reluctantly left in the end. The Jinwu Guards headed by Xiao Chu had to follow their adults back to the city, but the other six The singles who had the excuse of taking a vacation had the cheek to stay, and the owner of the water village acquiesced.
The first thing Shi Ke did when he returned to the imperial capital was to report to his immediate boss.
After handing over the application letter for entering the palace, Emperor Jiayou had been waiting for a long time. He specially asked someone to arrange it, and chose the relaxed imperial garden, saying that it was an informal meeting. Then he sat in the Fanxing Pavilion and looked at Shi Ke. Walking in the door with a well-bred red face, waiting to stretch his head to look behind him—empty?Immediately complained, "Why are you alone? Where is my Ning Renhou?"
Shi Ke: ┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
Shi Ke saluted slowly before opening his mouth, "Officials, I am a person who cultivated behind closed doors, but I have always cared about the emperor's court and the people's livelihood. It’s hard to talk, so it took a lot of talking to help the officials recruit Ning Renhou..." Emperor Jiayou was angry, but the words that made him even more angry were still to come: "I know the officials are anxious to see Ning Ren Hou, Ning Renhou, a pillar of talent, the officials must not look at the face of the ministers, rewards should be rewarded, rewards should be rewarded, and people must be retained."
Emperor Jiayou looked at the teacup in his hand, and resisted the urge to throw it over, "It's all ready, just waiting for my husband to enter the court."
"Oh, then the minister will be fine. I would like to ask about the sick leave of the minister..."
"Three days later it will be the Great Court, you can decide whether you come or not." With a bang, Emperor Jiayou put down the teacup angrily.
After being ill for two months, the Chief Attorney was appeased by the kindness of the officials as soon as he came back (the old foxes in the cabinet are not excluded), Shi Ke was promoted in salary, added food households, added fiefs, and more importantly Yes, the upper limit of the standard for official residences has been added... All kinds of rewards are short of saying: You can directly receive the salary of your son Ning Renhou.
However, next, it is tantamount to saying it clearly.
After the officials rewarded so many eye-catching benefits, they pierced the window paper in one fell swoop: Zilu, he successfully found Mr. Renshu, and Mr. Renshu was finally persuaded by Mr. Shi to come out of the mountain. Work for the country!
Wow—the civil and military ministers who didn't know the truth exploded at once.
Mr. Renshu, who doesn't know?Let's see how a disinfectant has made the mansion of Princess Ningguo fat?The cowpox in the early years, if a certain pig head offended Mr. Renshu, it would be a real cash cow.Cough cough, recently there is quinine, and the cabinet's southward push plan has leaked some rumors, which made the guts of those who didn't bid hard at the beginning almost turn green.Well, let's not talk about regrets, Mr. Renshu is about to enter the court, and he has captured a big living person. Are you afraid that you can't find the temple gate if you worship God?I don't know if Mr. has any new achievements recently...
"It's the emperor's benevolence, the blessings of the common people, and the unity of the world..." The civil and military ministers who came back to their senses hurriedly flattered.
Emperor Jiayou was very comfortable being photographed. Next, Emperor Jiayou changed his tone and began to leak gossip: the ministers did not know, Ning Renhou had a difficult life in his early years, his mother died young, and his father left home. Now that all the hardships have come to an end, we hit it off with our Chief Lawyer, and we recognize him as father and son...Zi Lv is also a lucky man. He has been alone for more than ten years, and now he has sons and grandchildren...
This is not a hint of a hint, and the people in the court who don't know the truth are shocked into silence.
Shi Ke's suspected Fei Tian'er identity has always been doubted.
Some people have always believed in Mr. Renshu's flying status.
From history to the present, there are many people who have revealed that Fei Tian'er has come to the imperial court, but in the end, they are all liars. Such a habit of thinking has formed, and when it comes to the truth, I can't believe it.But if Shi Ke and Mr. Renshu are the real father and son, as the officials suggest, then the suspicion will no longer be a suspicion.Whether you admit it or not, the chances of them not being Fei Tian'er are too small.
Fly!
There is really Fei Tian'er coming into the world!
Live!
More than 100 years!
This feeling of surprise is the same as discovering auspicious signs such as Bailu and Jingxing.
No one cares about the annihilation of the Xu Mansion.Anyway, they haven't been cultivated by Fei Tian'er for more than 100 years, and they are already out of breath, but now this one is freshly baked and steaming, so how long will it be if they don't visit the temple now?
In addition to surprise and excitement, there are also dark and unclear emotional surges.At present, Ning Renhou may only represent wealth, but the meaning of Fei Tian'er is more representative of power and future.Think about why the Mansion of Heaven and Man has stood for a hundred years?To put it bluntly, at first it was just the bloodline left by one or two Feitians.The power is about to be reshuffled.Shi Ke is over [-] years old, so he may not have much hope, but Mr. Ren Shu is at the prime of his life, and he may still have children, so there are infinite possibilities...
