Uncle Guo

Liang Xuanchen didn't hit him after all, facing this delicate girl, he decidedly couldn't do it, he just said dejectedly: "He likes you, so do you like her?"

Ashe raised her head, put her arms around Liang Xuanchen's legs, and cried, "Axue has only liked Thirteen Lords all her life. If you don't like me, it doesn't matter if you change to anyone else."

"You are willing to degenerate!" Liang Xuanchen was so angry that his chest hurt.

Mei Hua also rushed up to speak for A Xue, and many boys and girls outside the door poked their heads to look around, and after a while, Liang Xuanchen couldn't help it, "You can do whatever you like."

A Xue rubbed her snot and tears on Liang Xuanchen's lap, and it took a long time before she gradually stopped crying.

"Get up and talk. If you don't know, think I'm going to sell you to the old man as a concubine."

Ashe got up according to her words, and sat in the lower seat of Liang Xuanchen, with an appearance of humbly listening to the training.

"I asked you to be the shopkeeper. I didn't want you to earn me much money. Listen carefully, the most important thing in this kind of place is not to earn a few money, but to sell gold caves. Compared with the business of a bank If you want to do big things sincerely, I will also remind you a few words. You should pay more attention to those trivial matters in the business and the west, and keep them in your mind. Listen more and talk less. Let other people pay attention as well. In the city of Yangzhou, big and small Goulan tiles, eating and drinking, news is passed around. The most valuable is the news, it is your brain, understand?"

Ash nodded, "Understood!"

Liang Xuanchen went back after drinking tea, Mei Hua stepped forward and groaned at A Xue, saying that it was A Xue who instigated her to go to the Thirteenth Lord, who knew that the Thirteenth Lord didn't like flattery on the horse's legs Women don't like young ladies like him either.

A Xue gave him a white look, Mei Hua was only fourteen or fifteen years old, the most beautiful and lovely age, but Thirteenth Lord didn't like this kind of chick with half-haired.

He Chengwang, she understands!

He is tall, with a hoarse voice, and he has the air of a warrior in every gesture, but his conversation is not as rude as ordinary Qiuba masters.

He is not involved in the same way, no wonder Liang Xuanchen has no interest in him.

Chang Qinghe sneezed, and Li Mingtang immediately handed over the handkerchief.

Chang Qinghe took a look, but didn't take his handkerchief, and took out the handkerchief from his bosom fumblingly to wipe his nose.

"You're such a big man, riding a horse to Yangzhou in the rain, and coming back in the rain, you don't know how to ride a carriage?"

"Too slow."

The boy ran in to bring the medicine to the Commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guards. Chang Qinghe was about to pick it up, but was stopped by Li Mingtang, "You'll be scalded to death!"

Chang Qinghe thought he was a bitch, but he didn't want to laugh at him, after all, Li Mingtang was blowing medicine on him, of course he wasn't moved, he was afraid that Li Mingtang would blow his saliva into the medicine bowl when he got agitated.

"By the way, have you met him this time?"

"See you."

Li Mingtang thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I mean, the kind of meeting that makes sense."

Chang Qinghe snatched the medicine bowl, ignored the fact that it was still hot, and gulped it down. The good medicine tasted bitter, but Chang Qinghe had no expression on his face when he drank the medicine.Putting down the empty bowl after drinking, he wiped it gently with the back of his hand without even looking at Li Mingtang.

"No way?" Li Mingtang wailed, "You worked so hard to go to Yangzhou just to take a peek at him? You didn't say anything, and you didn't... Whenever you treat me like this, I'm worth it."

"Stop him? Nonsense, I'm on business in the capital, and I'm just passing through Yangzhou to have a look."

"You are the commander, and I am the official. I don't know what you are going to do in the capital."

Chang Qinghe glared at him, "It's a secret, it must not be revealed, this is an imperial decree."

"Stop lying to me!" Li Mingtang really wanted to push him down, but the strength of the two sides was very different. He knew that he was not Chang Qinghe's opponent, and if he really wanted to do this, he would never see Chang Qinghe again. The sun will not be seen tomorrow either.He is very clear about the matter between Liang Xuanchen and Chang Qinghe in the past. Liang Xuanchen has kindness to Chang Qinghe. He poisoned him when he said he poisoned him. He went to the land to quell the chaos, and personally captured King Kang alive and handed it over to the court.

Li Mingtang felt that he was infatuated by a ghost, that he could actually fall in love with such a cruel and ungrateful guy.Ordinarily, a despicable villain like Chang Qinghe who betrays his master and seeks glory should be detestable, but Li Mingtang can't see through him. The guard, the food and clothing are average, he is not deliberately pursuing simplicity, but eats what is given, not picky.Li Mingtang punished him on purpose, let him eat steamed buns twice a day, he didn't complain, Li Mingtang felt sorry for him, and he didn't appreciate a table full of four dishes and one soup.

After eating, Chang Qinghe went to visit the territory under the jurisdiction of the garrison, training troops to guard the coastal defense and plowing the fields. There were too many things to do.Li Mingtang asked: "Which dish is delicious, let the kitchen make it for you next time."

Chang Qinghe said: "They are almost the same."

Li Mingtang was bored, so he didn't want to spend any more time on it. Anyway, steamed buns are no different from pickles and delicacies from mountains and seas.

Once Chang Qinghe broke into the barracks suddenly, and several of his subordinates, Qianhu and Li Mingtang, were eating and drinking in the hall. There was a table full of good wine and food, and a hot pot was cooked, while the Commander was alone in the room earlier that day. Everyone was taken aback by eating vegetables and tofu, thinking that Chang Qinghe was going to take the opportunity to attack.In the end, he didn't even look at the dishes on the table, and directly called Li Mingtang out, sending him to do some work.

Generally speaking, a high-ranking official who is a commanding envoy, even if he does not bring hundreds of elite soldiers into and out of the capital, at least wears a good sword on his body to show off. The sword is not suitable, the blade is too wide and heavy, so don't get in the way at the waist.However, Chang Qinghe's important position in the official position is still close to his sword. His sword has a different use from other people's swords. It was a real sword that killed enemies and slashed people. Countless souls died under the sword.

Chang Qinghe has no servants around him, and he is not close to women. It is true that he betrays his master, but it is not for the sake of glory.

Once, the two of them rode horses back from an errand in the capital. On the way, they had to let the horses rest, and they didn't stay at the shop on tiptoe. They didn't even go to the herbal tea shop to rest their feet.Li Mingtang was eating steamed buns and drinking cold water. He couldn't figure it out, so he asked him directly, "It's not for the glory and wealth, it's not for money and beauty, what are you trying to do?"

Chang Qinghe was lying on a rock basking in the sun. He didn't even eat steamed buns, and spat out the straw in his mouth, "For the country and the people."

Li Mingtang rolled his eyes.

Chang Qinghe kicked him, "Fortunately, you are still a court official."

Li Mingtang looked up at him, wishing he could run to Yangzhou immediately and kill Liang Xuanchen, it was the blind man who killed him, Chang Qinghe couldn't tolerate another person in his heart.

"By the way, he opened a restaurant by the Slender West Lake, maybe it was a brothel. The oiran in that building asked someone about He Chengwang. Fortunately, the man had a little friendship with me. He greeted him earlier in the morning, but he just said he was not familiar with him. , I don’t know. There are too many lies to make up. People want to say that there is no one named He Chengwang in the thousands of households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Let me see how you explain it to him? Ask again, from Shandong to northern Jiangsu. Lord Qinghe's territory, yes, next time you go to eat and drink with him, he can poison your food, do you believe it or not?"

Chang Qinghe said: "I'm very careful, the most he knows is that I'm not called He Chengwang, and he won't think of my real identity. The local military administration is controlled by the governor and the governor. As a commander, I just train and lead the troops, and don't interact with those civil officials. He has private interests with He Chengwang, and he needs to avoid suspicion. As far as I know, he doesn't deal directly with military households, and it can even be said that he has lived in seclusion these years." After a pause, he nodded, "But there are also things you said. Reasonably, he lives in seclusion because his eyes are not convenient, but there are many ears and eyes who inquire for him. He Chengwang stays too close to me in the army for a long time, which will always make him suspicious. I can't leave casually, but He Chengwang can."

Li Mingtang thought it was funny, Chang Qinghe seemed to really treat He Chengwang as a serious character, and the acting was quite entertaining.

Chang Qinghe got on his horse, Li Mingtang stuffed the steamed buns into his mouth and chewed, and shouted from behind: "Wrong, wrong, where are you going?"

"go home."

"Which house?"

"I still have an old mother at home, which home do you think I will go back to?"

Chang Qinghe's hometown is in northern Jiangsu. In order to avoid his enemies, he moved his mother and younger brother to the countryside in southern Jiangsu, and set up a property shop to settle down.My younger brother has now turned eighteen, and it's time to start a family. When moving, Chang Qinghe took the initiative and changed his surname to He. He only said it was an expedient measure to avoid enemies, and asked the family not to tell anyone about himself. The surname is Chang.After ten or eight years, the enemy's family is almost cleaned up, and they can return to their hometown in fine clothes and shine on the lintel.It was Li Mingtang who ran errands to do this matter. Hearing that Chang Qinghe said he was going back to his natal family, Li Mingtang excitedly followed.

Chang Qinghe went home less than three or five times in three to five years, and he was very unfamiliar with his family. His younger brother is now called He Chengzu.He has always been afraid of Chang Qinghe. Although this elder brother has never beaten or scolded him, his elder brother sold himself to Kang Wang when he was not sensible. Later, when Kang Wang fell from power, his elder brother was still in the army. Large, it may be hundreds of households, or it may be thousands of households.The family's food and clothing are all earned by my brother's life in the army. The elder brother is like a father. He Chengzu respects his elder brother when he sees him, so he changed his name without saying a word.

In the early years, Chang's mother always encouraged her son to be loyal to King Kang and repay his kindness. However, King Kang became a traitor. The emperor thought of brotherhood and did not kill him, but demoted him to a common man. No one was spared. Her son survived and became a high official. She knew that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that the truth would be difficult to accept.

Chang Qinghe ate tea at home like a distinguished guest, and when he mentioned marriage, He Chengzu immediately knelt down and begged his brother to decide to go to his master's house to propose marriage.

Chang Qinghe thought in his heart that it would be easy to do this, he would skip the blind date and talk about marriage, and he didn't have any meals, so he immediately rode to the teacher's house to propose marriage.

Chang's mother chased her out and said: "There is no one who goes to propose marriage empty-handed. You have to go with a matchmaker. The parents agree, and the girl nods. Everyone chooses a date before formally engaging. , I'm in trouble."

Chang Qinghe asked: "When can we get married the soonest?"

Chang's mother said: "The girl doesn't have a big belly, how can anyone be so anxious to get married?"

Chang Qinghe felt that it was too troublesome, so he turned to Li Mingtang and said, "Then you can do it."

Li Mingtang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You are an elder brother, you have to come forward, or let Lingtang do it."

Chang Qinghe blinked and looked back at Chang's mother.

Chang's mother said: "It stands to reason that your elder brother will always arrange the marriage first, and then it will be your younger brother's turn."

Chang Qinghe said: "There is no such thing as first-come-first-served. Since he has a lover, he will get married early, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Chang's mother said: "Do you have a favorite girl?"

"No." Chang Qinghe was a little impatient, "Mom is worried about my younger brother's marriage. I am busy with military affairs, so I will go back. If there is anything you need, please tell me or Mr. Li. Let me tell you when the wedding date is set." Let me know, if I have time at that time, I will go home and have a glass of wedding wine."
