Jun Bao is not a fledgling kid. Although he has never served in the capital, it is not difficult to gain a foothold in the Ministry of War.After securing his position as Minister of the Ministry of War, Jun Bao began to plan to settle the matter of Suo Chuo Luo's family.

This is not just about property, it is about the dignity of the Niu Hulu family.So, at the beginning, the patriarch of Niu Hulu's family stood up for Shanbao.

No matter whether a family is noble or not, it must never show weakness. Once you are weak, ten thousand feet will step on it when you turn around. Everyone will think you are easy to bully.

Yu Zicheng also arrived in Kyoto.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the room was as warm as spring, and the high-quality agarwood was lit in the auspicious animal incense burner of the suet jade, which rose up, graceful and fragrant, refreshing and invigorating the mind.

Jun Bao and Yu Zicheng sat at the top, and Shan Bao sat at the bottom of Jun Bao. Jun Bao said, "I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, and Suo Chuo Luo's family is also in-law, so it's time to visit. Just make an appointment the day after tomorrow, you go Let me tell you in the school, don’t go to the school that day.” Let’s go to the court first and then the soldiers, it just depends on whether the Suochaoluo family knows what they’re interested in.

"Yes." Shanbao said softly, "Uncle, my grandfather will return to Beijing to report on his work. It will take another week, no, five days, and we will arrive in five days. Do you want to wait for my grandfather to come back and go there together?" Suo Chuoluo Ying Liang is not only a first-class minister, but also a third-class marquis. Shanbao worries that the title of the king's protection is not enough, and people will look down upon him.

"This, after all, is the internal affairs of our Niu Hulu family..." Junbao hesitated, but Yu Zicheng looked at Shanbao with admiration and persuaded, "Brother, I think what Shanbao said is reasonable. But, Shanbao, my lord Do you know these things?" Are you willing to stand out?I heard that your mother is a concubine, does she have enough weight in your grandfather's heart?This is something that offends people.

Shanbao put his hands on his knees, covering a small brass hand stove, with a cute appearance, and he spoke in a soft voice, "There is no certainty in the world, I will try my best to talk to grandpa. Grandpa is not only my mother-in-law’s daughter, but also my grandson, I, a child without father and mother, begs him, if he refuses, I can’t do anything about it, I just see it, it will chill the hearts of my relatives.”

Yu Zicheng's heart turned cold, and he saw Shanbao raised his face to Junbao. It was just a side face, as beautiful as flowers with dewdrops in the morning. Shanbao smiled innocently and innocently, "Besides , don’t you still have an uncle? Although I have never been an official, but in dealing with people on weekdays, I hope that many friends will watch over and help each other. Our family and grandpa’s family are always closer than friends. Grandpa will not refuse whether it is public or private. "Human affection is as thin as paper, but blood is iron-clad, and I want to turn against the Suo Chuo Luo family, so grandpa is so stupid that he wants to gain the friendship and understanding of the Suo Chuo Luo family?But if he doesn't help me, he will lose the affection of Niu Hulu's family. Such a simple choice will not be difficult for Governor Hedao.

Shanbao was talking excitedly, and suddenly found that the air around him had changed. The eyes of the two elder uncles showed surprise and defense, so naked that they didn't want to hurt others.Shanbao woke up immediately. He waited for this opportunity for so long that he lost his mind. With a wry smile, Shanbao pointed to the faded long scar on his head and said, "I was hit by my little mother last time. I was ill once. , no money to see a doctor, Fu Bao went to ask for money, was slapped and kicked out, when I woke up, there was only a handful of sorghum noodles left in the rice jar at home. The saint said that the warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace , True and reasonable quotes. To tell you the truth, Uncle, I can no longer treat Suo Chuo Luo as an elder. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Even if there is no such opportunity, I can wait ten or twenty years until Su Chuo Luo If I don’t have this ability in my life, even if I die, my children and grandchildren will remember this shame and humiliation. It’s like someone slashed me, but I survived, of course I have to chop it back. With high martial arts skills, I had to find a few more thugs, assassination, ambushes, gang fights, the methods may be disgraceful, as long as I can survive, it is nothing." Shanbao smiled mockingly, "If I am still like the snowflakes outside Jiebai, I guess I won't be able to wait for uncle to come back."

Is my scheming worth guarding against?Who has no scheming?Maybe you think a knife that you cut yourself is the safest weapon.I'm so sorry to disappoint you.The person in front of him is not his father, so he can't be willful and willful, Shanbao is in a dilemma.

Junbao is ashamed.

Yu Zicheng was silent for a while, then said calmly, "Then, do you want to?" Get rid of Suo Chuo Luo's family?Don't you have the ability now?

Shanbao smiled, "Sir, you don't think... How is this possible? It's already rare to get him to spit out what he eats once he's in charge. How could I think of anything else." Your imagination is too rich.

Yu Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was rational and restrained, and had good morals.

Junbao looked at Shanbao with a complicated expression and a tangled heart.This monstrous child frightened him.Jun Bao returned to Beijing with the sincerity of being an uncle. In fact, if he continues to serve abroad, in another five years, he will be able to serve as a great official of the frontier.But he gave up, he felt ashamed of his elder brother and should take care of his nephew.But now, he is not sure if Shanbao will forgive him when he knows the relationship between him and his elder brother.

If Shanbao doesn't understand... Junbao simply doesn't want to imagine, and he really can't imagine what Shanbao will do.His hand was suddenly held, and when Junbao came back to his senses, Shanbao held his hand and knelt in front of him, his eyes were clear and innocent, like a stream with a clear bottom, "No matter what you have with me, Ama Correction, I am grateful to my uncle for coming back when I needed it most. You gave up your foreign job for our brothers, and returned to Beijing to support this family in a precarious time. This kindness and virtue have paid off even the greatest guilt. , if Amaquan knows, he will be happy to be your brother in this life."

Shanbao's words were sincere, and Junbao was touched and caring but also full of sadness. He lost his composure to this point, and Shanbao saw what was on his mind.

Pat Shanbao's hand pulled him up, helplessly, "You know everything?"

what do you know?No, I don't know, but, in a normal family, the elder brother died, so he must send a letter to the younger brother.Not only did my father not give you a letter, he completely ignored you as a younger brother.You returned home in fine clothes and rescued me from danger. You are a high-ranking official with a generous salary, but you are polite, tolerant and considerate to me, a junior. I have observed you these days and have not found that you have the qualities of a saint, so I have to feel guilty.Feeling so guilty, I really don't know what you did to offend my father, heh heh.

However, in order to get along with each other in the future, Shanbao still decided to talk about it, otherwise this matter would not be a thorn in the way between their uncles and nephews.

Shanbao shook his head, frankly, "I won't inquire about the elders' old affairs casually. Brothers may not be harmonious, but they can definitely be the ones who depend on their orphans. It's possible that Amma doesn't know the temperament of his stepmother, or he hopes You came back. It's just that there are some words, which are difficult for him to speak. "

The stagnation of more than ten years seems to be loosening, slowly melting, and tears welling up.

Shanbao talked with Junbao, and the relationship between uncle and nephew was naturally closer. Together with Dong E, he was a little more grateful to Shanbao, prepared gifts early, arranged carriages, and Shanbao took Fubao to him. Greetings from Tera's house.

He is over [-] years old, and he can still see the handsomeness of his youth in his eyebrows. Even now that he is old, he is a real handsome old man. If you look closely, his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Shanbao, no, it should be Shan Bao is like Jiamo, Shanbao even imagined it, and guessed that he would look like this when he was old.

"I was talking to your grandmother yesterday. I haven't seen you for more than a year. I don't know if you have gained weight or lost weight. She just wants to take you to Jiangsu with all her heart." Jammu took Fu Bao by the hand. Sitting on the heated kang with myself, wearing a dark purple brocade brocade gown, smiling warmly, looking kind and kind.While talking, he looked at Shanbao who was sitting under him, Shanbao still smiled, "My grandparents always miss us so much, and there is not a day when we don't miss my grandparents, uncles and aunts, the transportation between the north and the south is inconvenient, and I don't know my grandparents, grandmothers and uncles My aunt is still fine, and I have been worrying about it all the time. Now that my grandfather is in good spirits, my grandson can feel at ease. My uncle also ordered me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"Your uncle is back?" Jiamo asked coldly with no joy on his face.

Shanbao smiled, "Yes, it has been a month since I came back. Uncle has always wanted to visit grandpa, but recently he is busy with government affairs and trivial family affairs. Let grandson greet you on his behalf."

Jiamo smiled, unable to conceal the sarcasm. With his current status and seniority, it was already a bit inappropriate to be mean in private. After a long time, he couldn't help but sneer, "He got the letter that your Ama passed away, and he should come back too. of."

Why?Shanbao's lips twitched, but he did not speak. The corners of his lips were tightly pressed together, "I am very grateful that uncle can come back at this time. He is very kind to me and Fubao." No matter how much hatred and disputes there were before, Junbao still He came back when it was the hardest.

"Shanbao, you should know a word that tells people to know the face but not the heart. Before your Ama was alive, Suo Chuoluo did not do anything wrong to your brothers." Jiamo leaned on the soft pillow, waved his hands, coughed a few times, kindly Bao got up and tried the teacup on the table, the temperature was right before handing it to grandpa.Jiamo took a few sips and sent Fubao out, "Fubao go talk to your grandmother."

Fu Bao responded, looked at his brother worriedly, Shan Bao nodded, and he left.

Jiamo's eyes kept chasing Fubao, and when Fubao walked out, Fang sighed, "I remember before, you Ama and your uncle were as harmonious as you and Fubao."

Jiamo was slightly distracted, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

Shanbao was infinitely curious by his nagging attitude, and licked his dry lips, "Then, did my uncle do something very sorry to my Ama?"

Jiamo sneered, mocking unceremoniously, "Otherwise, you, Ama, would be willing to see his precious brother for the rest of your life."

Shanbao slowly straightened out the grievances and hatreds of his parents. Although he didn't know what Junbao did to hurt his mother, the key was that Junbao was guilty. With such a mentality, Junbao might be unfavorable to their brothers. Sex is next to nothing.And from getting along these days, they are quite happy with each other.

Jiamo didn't expect his grandson to laugh at his sarcasm.Shanbao's smile at this time, has a common name, a superficial smile, with treachery in the corners of his eyes and brows, which made Jiamo want to know what was going on in Shanbao's head for a while.

"Grandfather's meaning, grandson understands." Shanbao squinted his eyes, "This time, grandson still wants to ask grandfather for help." Then he told about Suo Chuoluo's family.

Yes, the time has come, now that he has the power in his hands, he has the ability to stand up for the good, not to mention that he is not the one who takes the lead, Jiamo twitched his three-inch beard, "Well, that's the reason, if you can't turn your face, don't turn your face, Let's go there, the Sochoro family should be aware of current affairs. I'll go with you, as for your uncle, there is no need."

"Grandfather was upright and upright by nature, cared about his grandson, and that's why he was so angry at what his uncle did back then." Shanbao felt sour at first, and said sternly, "Grandfather also knows the current situation of my family. It would be great if uncle could come back. What happened back then In the past, I, Ama, never mentioned a word to me. Now that Ama died young, Fubao and I are still young, and my grandfather and uncle are far away in Jiangsu. My uncle and aunt are willing to do their duty of teaching, and I can only be grateful.”

Shanbao said softly, "Being an official outside is easy to get promoted after all, it's really not easy for uncle to return to Beijing."

"Injustice. He is as soft-hearted as you, Ama, and he can't hold back a few kind words from others, so he doesn't care about anything." Jiamo hummed heavily, and he was already half-hearted.

Shanbao approached and smiled apologetically, "Grandfather, you won't see your grandson become the stuffing in the pie, right?" You said it briskly, filled with righteous indignation and righteousness, and I want to get along with my uncle and aunt for a long time.

Jiamo laughed, he had many heirs in his family, five daughters, but only one son, and a group of grandchildren, only Shanbao, who was outstanding in demeanor, able to endure and judge, was by no means a rare thing.Jiamo couldn't help regretting his previous cautiousness. He reached out and touched Shanbao's head, and pulled him to hug him, "Of course I want to save your face. If your uncle comes, I'll just take a broom and drive him out so that he doesn't get dirty. My land. Come, tell my grandfather, how is your study in Xian'an Palace going?"

Jiamo asked Shanbao a lot, and then let Shanbao go to Ergenjueluo to pay his respects.

Ergenjueluo was Jiamo's first wife, but unfortunately she only had two daughters, and Jiayin's only son, Jiayin, was born to Shanbao's grandmother, Ergenjueluo.

Speaking of it is also a mess, Ergen felt that Luo Shi and Jiamo had never had a son after they got married, which made Jiamo very troubled, and he wanted to take a concubine inside and outside the words.Ergenjue Luoshi took the sister from her natal family to be a child for her husband for the sake of solid favor. I don't think so, she really made the right move. Didn't Jiamo's eldest son just pop out of his sister's belly?

Ergenjueluo's main room was very lively, except for the little Yirgenjueluo and the concubines who were standing in the room, it was Fu Bao and two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls in pink shirts.They both have hairstyles and jewelry, and even their heights are the same, except that they don't look much alike.

"Hey, this is Shanbao. I haven't seen you for more than a year. Look, the longer you grow, the more promising you will be." Ergen felt that Luo's temperament was very bright, so he asked Shanbao to come forward, "Come and meet the two cousins."

Shanbao was shocked at the moment, his cousin, the two young girls turned out to be his cousin, the daughter of his aunt's family, who was going to Beijing to be elected.One baby name is Jiaojiao, and the other is nicknamed Lan'er.

In Shanbao's opinion, these two girls haven't grown up yet, they want breasts and buttocks, but the eyes between their eyebrows are also somewhat delicate, one is delicate and the other is gentle.Cousins ​​and brothers met before, Ergen Jueluo held Shanbao's hand, looked him up and down, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.Generally, a man would like a son who looks like his own, so a woman likes a younger generation who looks like her husband.

Ergenjueluo praised, "The longer it grows, the more it looks like your grandfather when he was young. Does my sister see it?" The son covered his mouth and smiled, "Isn't that right, I look more handsome than the master when he was young."

Ergenjueluo looked at the two granddaughters with a smile, and compared them, "Hey, he compares with his two cousins."

It stands to reason that although the two cousins ​​are not yet fully developed, they are still above average, but Shanbao's eyebrows are too delicate. For example, the peacock was very beautiful back then, but compared with the Phoenix, it is the sky and the earth, the gods. What a difference.

Shanbao pointed to his own face, and said with a smile, "If grandma praises her, my grandson's cheeks will turn red. People say that a nephew is like an uncle, and it's not easy for a grandmother to praise his uncle, so I praise my nephew first. Throwing bricks to attract jade?"

The whole room was amused by Shanbao. Yiergenjueluo laughed, put his arms around Shanbao and said, "Oh, it's really this mouth. I don't know who it looks like. Come on, your uncle got married last year. Didn't you Catch up," pointing to a young daughter-in-law who just entered the house to report, "this is your aunt."

Shanbao Fubao went forward to salute, his aunt Wumi was from the Zhenghuang Banner of Mongolia, and the daughter of General Wu Mitai of Jiangning, so he was a well-matched family.

"I heard from Erniang and Ama that your uncle still missed you yesterday." With a round face, Wu Mi looked very blessed, and belonged to the kind of mother-level favorite with many children and grandchildren. With a slightly protruding lower abdomen, Wu Mishi habitually protected her stomach with one hand and supported her waist with the other, in a standard pregnant posture, and said with a smile, "It's better to meet each other than to be famous. A gentle man, a heroic man, the aura of heaven and earth has been taken by your brothers."

"Where's Jiayin? He went out again?" Ergenjue Luo asked.

Mrs. Wu Mi replied with a smile, "A classmate came to him early this morning. He asked him to palm his eyes for something. He went to Liulichang and told him to go back early. My daughter-in-law had already told him, nephews Come here, I'll be back after a while."

Ergenjue Luoshi nodded with a smile, and said to Shanbao, "Your uncle is so warm-hearted. His friends come to him for every little thing." He blamed him, but his words were full of complacency. Then he turned to Wu Mi and said, "Don't be too busy. Knowing your filial piety, you are a man with a body after all. Sit down and rest, and leave the work to the servants."

It wasn't too late for Jiayin to come back. She was sweating a little, her eyes were bright, and she was tall and tall. She looked about one or seventy-eight, and when she entered the room, she really stood out from the crowd.

"My son greets Da Erniang and Erniang." The voice was also loud, and she knelt down on one knee.

Ergenjue Luoshi smiled, with a loving expression on his face, "Get up quickly, what are you doing, this brow is sweating, come here." Jiayin smiled and stepped forward, Ergenjue Luoshi wiped his son's sweat with distress, He also ordered the maid to pour tea.

Jiayin was indeed thirsty, so she took the tea and lifted the lid to drink it. It was scalded hard, and with a loud cry, a cup of tea was poured on the ground, steaming faintly.

The women in the room suddenly panicked, calling for scald medicine and cold water.He ordered to ask for a doctor again, but Jiayin hurriedly stopped him, took cold water to rinse his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's all right, I'm in a hurry. It's okay. Don't worry, girls." A maid has already stepped forward to clean up the broken glass of water on the floor stains.

"Does it hurt?" Ergenjueluoshi was still worried, and the little Yiergenjueluoshi said angrily, "I'm going to be Ama's person, and I'm still so frizzy."

Ergenjue Luo Shi scolded his sister, "He's burning, and you still want to blame him?" He stared coldly at the tea girl kneeling on the ground, twisted the veil, and asked sternly, "It's not the first day of serving, Uncle can't drink hot tea, don't you know? You've been ignorant all day long and don't want to use it at all. Could it be that you are here to harm the master?"

Although Jiayin is not the biological son of Yiergenjueluo family, she was born to her own sister, and she was raised by their sisters when she was a child. This only seedling is always on the top of her heart, and she will throw people out when her face is cold. .Jiayin tugged on Ergenjueluo's sleeve, and there was a hint of flattery in her bright eyes. Ergenjueluo was helpless, "Forget it, the uncle will intercede with you, fine you two months' money, and put him in the tea room as an errand. It’s good to learn to be good!”

Since a servant led the maid down, the room was peaceful again. Jiayin looked at Shanbao and Fubao who came forward to salute, and helped one of them up with each hand, smiling, "You don't need to be too polite. Alas, Fubao is here again." You are much taller, Shanbao, why are you still like a kitten? Eat two extra bowls of rice at noon, you can’t grow taller.”

He died two hundred and five, how could he have a two hundred and five uncle.Shanbao smiled silently and did not speak.

Fubao's eyes are bright, which shows that he has a good relationship with his uncle. Jiayin said, "I recently got a good Mongolian knife. Let's go and have a look with my uncle." Shanbao Fubao went to play in his courtyard.

Ergen Jueluo laughed, "It can be seen that he doesn't like to listen to our women's nagging."

"How can it be, my son wishes he could stay in front of Da'enniang every day, just because I'm afraid you will annoy him."

"It's really my nephew, Uncle Xiao, who coaxes people to be happy like smearing honey on the corners of their mouths. Go ahead, just play for a while, don't give them snacks, they will eat in a while."

Jiayin agreed.

Jiayin's courtyard is the best in the mansion, and Jiamo got this son in his late years. He loves more than treasures, and he doesn't even care about the principle of having children and not grandchildren.It stands to reason that Jiayin, a single seedling of [-] mu of land, born in such a family, has a great possibility of growing into a dandy, but this person is an exception, and he can barely be regarded as both civil and military.Compared with many Manchurian prodigal sons who prostitute women and play actors, Jiayin is quite outstanding.Jiamo didn't know how much money he had spent, how many connections he had made, and got his son a third-class guard, who would be on duty during the Chinese New Year.

"How?" Jiayin took a crescent-shaped Mongolian knife from the wall and handed it to Fubao to play with.

Fu Bao looked over and over, grinning, "Good knife."

"Here I am. Uncle specially kept it for you. The eldest sister's second child asked for it, but I didn't give it. I don't understand farts, and I want to take a sharp knife, and I'm not afraid of cutting my own neck." Jiayin Obviously he likes Fubao more, and now he is about to become an Ama, so he hopes that his wife will give him a big fat boy like Fubao.

"Thank you, Uncle." Fu Bao pinned it on his waist happily, with a look of air in his eyes, Jia Yin touched his head, and turned to ask Shan Bao, "How is the tigress in Suo Chuo Luo's family? Don't be afraid now." Now, your grandfather has been promoted to an official, so he has become more courageous." In the words, he complained a bit to his father, and he said that he should go to the capital to make decisions for Brother Shanbao.Jiamo was cautious by nature. At that time, he was a Hedao vassal treasury and a fourth-rank official. How could he dare to challenge the Shangshufu?Just pretending to be stupid, pretending not to believe this happened.After Jiayin complained and sarcastically, Jiamo became angry and slapped Jiayin twice.

"Well, my grandfather said he would take me to visit Sochoro's house." Shanbao was a little speechless at the uncle's straightforwardness, the tigress...

"That's it." Jiayin said helplessly, "The old man has been timid for a long time, so don't blame him, maybe all the older people have this problem. He has made up his mind, and no one can say anything. I originally wanted to visit you in the capital , before leaving Qingjiangpu, he was arrested and returned." Jiayin was frank by nature, but not annoying.

"How is your uncle treating you?"

"pretty good."

Jiayin nodded, "It looks better than when I was with my stepmother. I will be in Beijing from now on, just come to me if you have anything to do." She explained, "I work as a guard."

Shanbao had a good impression of his uncle. After dinner, Jiayin gave Shanbao a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, all of which were top-grade, and Shanbao could not refuse. Quietly handed 500 taels of silver to Shanbao, "Don't be too tight on your hands. Uncle kisses again and again, it's not the same as Ama. Be careful yourself. My private room, your aunt doesn't know." No matter how big the man said, "I know It doesn't matter, the master's own money, whoever is willing to give it to whomever."

On the way home, Shanbao asked Fubao in a low voice in the car, "Has grandpa ever given us money before?"

Fubao puffed up his cheeks, and said angrily, "Why didn't you give it to me? Brother, you sent Liu Quan'er to my grandfather's... At that time, the woman was still at our house, and Liu Quan finally brought the money back, and gave it to her. The woman snatched it away and kicked Liu Quan out of the house. I don't know where Liu Quan is now?" A tone of missing Liu Quan.
