The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 147 Jinzhou City 8

Xiao Niuzi fell into Lin Jing's eyes, and for Xiao Niuzi, it was a mixed blessing.

Because most of Tu Xiaosan's subordinates are military generals, and there are few civilian positions, Tu Xiaosan always cherishes capable people, and in Jinzhou City, he also recruited some talented masters and the like.But in Lin Jing's view, these people are just handymen.For one thing, these people come from different backgrounds, so there are two reasons for their loyalty.Second, limited to qualifications, upper-middle-class talents are rare, let alone upper-class people.

For example, Tu Xiaosan would rather go to Lin Jing for a day and a night to discuss any important matters. One is because of the trust in Brother Ah Jing's vision, and the other is that Tu Xiaosan lacks such a person who can coordinate major issues around him. one.

Lin Jing has a close relationship with Tu Xiaosan, so he naturally knows Tu Xiaosan's weakness, he looked at him, this little guy is not bad.Just thinking, let apprentice Xiaosan send Xiao Niuzi, and Lin Jing will give him a short-term training or something.Anyway, Lin Jing's ambition is to be a good teacher if not a good prime minister.Now that the good looks are gone, he is especially willing to be a good teacher.

When apprentice Xiaosan heard it, he couldn't wish for it.

Immediately sent people back, and packed up the little cow.

When Xiao Niuzi came, he first asked Lin Jing to ask about his old body. If you don't ask, you don't know. Lin Jing also has some connections with Xiao Niuzi's family. Lin Jing said, "It turns out that you are a child of the Zhen family."

The little Niuzi had a dark face, with deep hatred in his eyes, and said, "They all say their surname is Niu!"

Tu Xiaosan slapped him on the back of the head, "It's true to call you a little cow, how old are you, why are you still so stubborn."

Lin Jing waved his hand, "Okay, you have to thank his family. If his family hadn't sold them out ruthlessly, how could you have met Xiaosi and Sange? Let me tell you, in your case In a house that eats people, it's better to go outside and go to the rivers and lakes to be quiet."

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan sighed, "The Zhen family, Concubine Zhen is probably in the lonely old palace now, Master Zhen is treacherous and slippery, Xiao Niuzi's sentimental and righteous temperament is really not like Master Zhen."

Xiao Niuzi said, "Why should I look like a bitch."

Lin Jingzhang said, "Well said, I can't imitate the slut anymore. I think you are very good, the third brother entrusted me for three days and three nights, and asked me to teach you some skills. If it weren't for your character, Even if he entrusted me for three years, I can't accept it. That's all right, you can stay here with me."

Xiao Niuzi said, "Xiao Si needs someone to accompany him right now."

Tu Xiaosan said, "It's just a woman, but she can still kill her. If such a trivial matter is going to kill her, let her die."

Xiao Niuzi said in his heart, this is also what his brother said.Xiao Niuzi said, "Who hasn't had a bad time yet." Anyway, Xiao Niuzi was very worried about Tu Xiaosi, even if he wanted to stay with Lin Jing, he would have to write a letter and ask someone to take him back.

Xiao Niuzi was upset because Lin Jing forced him to ask about his life experience. Seeing that Lin Jing was fine, he went out to write a letter.Tu Xiaosan said, "I used to think that Xiao Niuzi might be a scholar whose family has fallen, but I didn't expect that he was sold by his family."

Lin Jingdao, "If you are a big family, you will have more secrets. If you have wives and concubines, it will be a family scandal."

"Tell me, why didn't anyone come to look for it back then." Tu Xiaosan said, "Even if you say you lost your child to the outside world, you have to pretend to be looking for it. Even if the eldest wife is vicious, father always kisses her."

"He was originally from a concubine, and his sister in the family is a noble concubine in the palace. His father's promotion is all dependent on the sister. It can be seen that the family is powerful. Mr. Zhen may not be completely unaware of this matter, but the child is gone. , turned against his first wife, how will the daughter explain it? It’s just pretending to be confused.” Lin Jing said casually, but he told the truth about the Zhen family back then.

Tu Xiaosan said, "This is really a fucking person. Tiger poison doesn't even eat children, if it wasn't for the little cow's life, I'm afraid this little life would have been gone."

"I think the biggest hurdle in Xiao Niuzi's life is when he was young. Now, the difficulties have passed, and the future will be a bright road."

"You will be at your mercy."

"Let's learn a thing or two."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Then you figure it out for me, what will happen to that adulterer and adulteress."

"It's up to you, whether to kill or keep, it's not a matter of what you say, third brother."

Tu Xiaosan said, "In the past few years, a lot of people have been killed. Li Shoubei's subordinates are my subordinates, and I can deal with it myself. The Gao and Feng families are just meat on the chopping board. I want their lives, just a word. It's just that, if you kill them, you have to find a reason not to say it. Mr. Fu Yin begged me several times, and if there is any murder case, Mr. Fu Yin may be moved as an official. Besides, the two families have a large population, and I I don't want to kill too much. This person, if he doesn't have a reputation, he will be looked down upon. If he has a bad reputation, it's not good. But if he doesn't kill him, it's hard to swallow."

Lin Jing smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, third brother, you take the initiative to retreat and let the pair of wild mandarin ducks go back to their respective homes, so that it will be perfect for them. Could it be that the Gao and Feng families dare to keep them alive."

Tu Xiaosan originally wanted to say that this was all his own, but thinking about what happened to Xiao Niuzi, Tu Xiaosan understood that in a wealthy family, this family relationship may be the most worthless.Tu Xiaosan said, "I used to envy those big families who dress well and use well, but now it seems that there are also some disadvantages."

"A big family is best at making deals." Lin Jing smiled slightly, "Third Brother, if you go back, you might be ready to accept another marriage from the Gao family?"

"His daughter is like this, is it possible that I still want to marry Xiao Si?"

"Whether you marry or accept, what does it matter? The Gao family dare not say anything else. However, for peace of mind, his family still wants you to accept their daughter."

"Let's not talk about Xiao Si, even other brothers can't marry the daughter of this family." Tu Xiaosan said, "Forget it, I will return his daughter and see how his family behaves?"

Lin Jing laughed, thinking that such an upright person as Brother Tu San had learned how to stretch and dry these local wealthy people.

To say that the one who has improved the fastest under Lin Jing's guidance is definitely not Xiao Niuzi, but Tu Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosan is limited by innate education and knowledge, but when it comes to doing things, he is very keen.This is how he dealt with it when he returned to Jinzhou City. He summoned the head of the Gao family to reprimand him, "If you want to tell me earlier, your daughter is interested in someone, so I will forcefully marry your daughter for my younger brother. If you have something to say, just hide it." So, now that you have done such a scandal, what should you do?"

The Gao family was frightened to death. First, they didn't know that their daughter had such thoughts before, and then they said that there was no such rebellious daughter in the Gao family, and they let the general dispose of her.

"If the soldiers under my command do such things, I have my own military law to deal with it. But he is a woman... that's all, just treat it as you and my family have no relationship, so let's make up. Your daughter's dowry will be returned in full. Governor Governor My lord, I have already understood that the document of reconciliation has been written, you can press your fingerprint, and this matter will be considered closed. From now on, who will your love marry, it will not have anything to do with my apprentice family."

Seeing old man Gao's astonished expression with a trace of fear, Tu Xiaosan felt that the idea given by Ah Jing was really good.He is so retreating to advance, but the Gao family is confused.

Tu Xiaosan settled the matter for his younger brother, and privately persuaded his younger brother once, saying, "This time I was wrong, and next time I will find you someone who is a thousand times better than this."

Tu Xiaosi is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, he was brought up by Tu Xiaosan since he was a child, and Tu Xiaosi said, "Brother, you are the first to think of me when you have something good to do. How can you blame eldest brother, Miss Qianjin, who was raised in a deep boudoir. Who knew she was an adulteress. Anyway, no one has touched me while I was sleeping, so we are not at a disadvantage."

"You can think of it this way, no matter how good it is. Women are like clothes, this one is not good, just change to a better one."

Tu Xiaosi nodded, but this time he was married and met with an unkind person, but it also made Tu Xiaosi's heart on women a lot weaker.Compared with the news that Heli's Mrs. Gao died of illness within a few days, Tu Xiaosi was more concerned about Xiao Niuzi. Although he knew that Xiao Niuzi was studying with Lin Jing, Tu Xiaosi said, "Although Ah Jing is knowledgeable, he has a bad temper. , Xiao Niuzi is a stubborn guy, and I'm afraid he will suffer."

"Ah Jing has a bad temper. He has the best heart. You just liked to bicker when you were young, but now that you're older, you still can't forget the bickering when you were young."

Tu Xiaosi snorted, "Brother, you think he is good everywhere, I think you wish you could change to Xiao Niuzi, go there by yourself, and live in Hanzhou City."

Tu Xiaosan said, "I'm not free, if I was free, I would have gone already."

There is nothing in the matter that can't be used for trading. Tu Xiaosan has gained knowledge from these local tyrants. Sure enough, after Gao's death, the Gao family immediately proposed to marry again.Tu Xiaosan refused straight away. If the girl from the Gao family was savage or something, Tu Xiaosan might still consider it, but since Gao's daughter is so promiscuous, even the generals who are not valued by her side, Tu Xiaosan can't give him a cuckold. ah.

However, after rejecting the marriage offer, the Gao family offered many other benefits.One of them is a salt field in the Gao family.Tu Xiaosan called Gao's son to be a small official by his side.Now, the Gao family is gradually at ease.

Just as Tu Xiaosan realized the beauty of this retraction, something happened in the city.

The wives and children of Wangdujun's family came to Jinzhou City in ragged clothes. The disciples found out after inquiring carefully that the south of the Yangtze River was hit by severe disasters and floods this year, and the people had no income. They almost fell to the point of begging.Common people, one can imagine.

When Tu Xiaosan heard about this, he quickly informed Lin Jing.
