The husband's son-in-law

Several imperial edicts in Beijing failed to recall the assistant king, and proposed peace first, because the little prince was beheaded and killed by the assistant king, which aroused the resentment of the people-anyway, that's what it said, and the whole country was full of anger. Indignant, the soldier was enraged, and vowed to avenge the little prince, and traveled all over the calendar.

How could it be possible for the assistant king to bear it, and immediately ordered troops to put on armor and go into battle.

As for the several imperial edicts from Beijing, the assistant king didn't answer them, and just left the eunuch who delivered the edicts aside——

At the same time, Zhaozhou.

The Chen family was very busy getting married, and within a few days NO.13 Su Shiyi and Liu Tao held their wedding.Su Shiyi was looking at houses in Zhaozhou a few years ago. He didn’t want to buy one that was too far away from Li’s Mansion, but there are almost all good houses near Li’s Mansion. If you spend a lot of money to buy someone’s house, you have to repair it. I looked around and chose a small yard with one exit and two entrances.

Su Shiyi has saved a lot of money over the years, but his salary is still three taels a month—after he was able to sell the goods, the boss raised his wages, and the biggest bonus was the red envelopes given out at the end of the year, with 100 taels a year.Plus some extra cash for sending money - anyway, the size is a matter of management, and some merchants will give some.

Originally, I wanted to invite Su Shiyi to drink Huajiu. Su Shiyi didn’t like this place, and he didn’t like to go there. fault.

Master Su doesn't drink Huajiu, and the merchants who come to buy goods can have a headache, but it's also easy-drinking Huajiu saves a lot of money, so they give Su Zhangshi red envelopes.

Don't accept too much, accept less, and do small things that can be done.

These merchants feel that spending money is straight and good.Su Shiyi didn't hide the fact that he took the money, so he told the boss later that he had to turn it in. Li Zhouzhou nodded, and the amount matched, but he just confiscated it and said, "Wang Jian told me, and he also took it." , take these."

Dealing with people and relationships is a science. How to ensure that the reputation of Zhaozhou merchants and the quality of goods are not damaged, and that everyone has a good relationship and does not offend others. This is very difficult and comprehensive.

Li Zhouzhou couldn't guarantee that he would be perfect in every aspect. Mr. Xianggong said that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, so he turned a blind eye to the unimportant things underneath.Su Shiyi is still honest.

With all these years of savings, Su Shiyi can afford to buy a big house.

"If it's too big, we'll live alone. We'll change when there are more people in the future." Liu Tao said.

Su Shiyi smirked when he heard 'too many people'. He seemed to have endless energy. Now he finally knew why a man with a family had to work so hard. Not only did he have a mouth, but he also had to support his family.

NO.13 Marriage, Liu Tao was married from Li Mansion, and the wedding dress on her body was made by Brother Lin.

Brother Lin asked Liu Tao what style he likes.Liu Tao said, the style is based on Zhaozhou's style, and I want to choose mandarin ducks for the style, a loving couple.Brother Lin smiled softly and mischievously, and said, "Sister Taozi is going to be in love with Brother Shi Yi for a lifetime."

Liu Tao's face turned red with shame.

On the day of Chuichuidada, the dowry was also an eight-carrying gift. Brother Yu, who was married before passing the time, Li Zhouzhou treated them both equally, but the bottoms of the box were different. Brother Yu got half of the profit from the stewed restaurant, and Liu Tao was given by her brother. The 1000 taels of silver from Li Zhouzhou, 200 taels from Li Zhouzhou, and [-] acres of fertile land bought outside Zhaozhou City were given away.

Liu Tao's eyes were red at the time, and when she left, she kowtowed three times on her knees.

Gu Zhao knows that the bottom of the box is divided into people every week, and the interests of the fertile land and half of the profit of the stewed restaurant are running water, which is endless.Su Jiayu started the braised cooking business with their family when he was young. From Jingli to Zhaozhou, this stewed cooking business has become a housekeeping skill, which he relies on for his survival. For this, Su Jiayu is also at ease and confident.

And Liutao only went to Beijing in the [-]th or [-]th, and some concepts are relatively traditional, especially in the villages. Farmers can rely on good land for them to rely on.

They don't need to plant the natural fields themselves, just rent them out to tenant farmers for planting.

The bustling wedding is over, and at the end of the month is another Cuju competition.

Zhaozhou is very lively throughout May.

Last year's Cuju competition, Rong Ye was injured and unable to go. At the beginning of May this year, in addition to the two hottest happy events in Zhaozhou, the Cuju competition was the most talked about.Li Zhouzhou said to Rong Ye: "You must go and see this year, you can't hide in peace."

"Okay." Rong Ye nodded.

Li Zhouzhou: "You promised so quickly, I don't have enough words."

"Actually, I was quite curious when I heard Xiao Qi talk about it last year."

The students of the school's official school have started training in teams since April. Li Zhaoxi ran around with the ball all day long. He grew taller and taller, with a high ponytail. Like a little sun.

Gu Zhao said that the name was correct.

"This year, the school forms a Cuju team, and Chaoyang will also participate." Li Zhaoxi said.

Li Zhouzhou knew that she was Mrs. Liang's prostitute. She used to wear small shoes, but not long after she changed them, she went to school with the name Liang Chaoyang. At this time, she asked, "That's great, how is Chaoyang playing? Can you teach me more?" younger sister."

"She is not physically fit enough to run for a while and she is tired and out of breath, but her spirit is commendable and she has great perseverance." The little adult Li Zhaoxi said.

Gu Zhao: ...Only Li Zhaoxi looks pretty decent now.

A little emotion.

After dinner, Li Zhaoxi bid farewell to their fathers and went to take Wang Wang to play.Gu Zhao looked at Fu Bao's busy back and said, "Busier than me."

Li Zhouzhou couldn't help laughing, and said: "Isn't it? I have to learn to write from memory, and I have to train with the two-cuju team of the government school, and I have to play with Wang Wang for a walk when I come back."

"I still have to eat with my father." Mr. Gu mumbled and added.

It's great for kids to be full of energy.

"But Chaoyang went to participate in the competition, so the old lady of the Liang family has nothing to say?" Gu Zhao became curious.I can't say too much about lamenting that the child has good energy. If I say too much, it will appear that he is not very old.

He is more than 30 now like a wolf like a tiger!

Li Zhouzhou was interrupted, so he forgot to follow Mrs. Liang's words and sighed, but said: "Madam Liang is not in good health, and she is still not feeling well after suffering from the cold during the Chinese New Year. Now she is Mrs. Liang's housekeeper."

Last year was a trial, and Madam Liang was a little timid in doing things, but this year she is much more decisive.

Gu Zhao then said casually: "The old man is getting used to the local customs of Zhaozhou slowly, so take good care of him and don't worry about it."

That's it.

In mid-to-late May, the grass in the Cuju field outside the city was repaired for the second time. Weeds and weeds were removed before, and some grass seeds were added. Now it is green, and now the gaps are filled again, and the Cuju competition will be held at the end of the month. Just right.

The game is approaching, and there are students here to play football in the afternoon. Many vendors carry poles to sell washed fruits and mung bean soup. Naturally, they watch from the side when they sell the goods. Sometimes the students rest and sit down to eat and drink If there is something, throw the ball over and let the hawkers try to kick it.

"No, young master, your precious things—"

Li Zhaoxi sat cross-legged on the grass, took a bite out of the peel of the fruit, squinted his eyes and smiled so sweetly, and said, "Just play around." He didn't say that gold is not precious.

What is cheap to him may be half a month's ration expenses for these hawkers.

Since the cuju competition became popular last year, cuju has become popular in Zhaozhou City, but serious adults have work to do, how can they play football all day long?Only some well-to-do dandies at home will take the ball to the free court outside to kick it.

It's just that playing too much is boring and tiring.After all, the young master who gnaws on the old and doesn't care about production.

However, Cuju balls are sold in stores. There are expensive and cheap ones. This thing is made of leather with a lot of feathers stuffed inside. The expensive ones are made of better materials, with drawings on them, or tassel pendants.

A high-quality product on the ball can sell for three to five taels of silver, and those who follow the trend and want to show their dignity will buy expensive ones.However, the balls used by Li Zhaoxi are not so fancy, and there are no painting tassels on them. He plays a lot of balls, exercises every day, and it is easy to damage them. The balls he chooses are all solid, ordinary on the surface, and the actual materials are good.

The peddler saw nothing fancy when he got it, and thought it was the cheapest Cuju ball, which would have cost his whole family for a month or two.Be careful when playing.

"It's fun for this person to play more, you play, we have to rest for a while."

The peddler next to him heard this, and came forward with a cheeky smile and said, thank you, young master, and let them have a play.He could tell that young master Fubao wanted to watch them play football.

The two hawkers have watched it for several days, and they will try it out, which is quite novel.The one behind was trying to flatter young master Fubao for fun, so he didn't know how to kick on purpose, and made some fools of himself, yelling, trying to make young master Fubao smile and have fun.

Who knew that Li Zhaoxi didn't smile, put down the fruit in his hand, stood up, clapped his hands, and said: "Your kicking method is easy to fall and hurt yourself, so you have to do it like this."

"You put the ball under your feet and dribble first."

"Don't deliberately kick the joker."

At first the peddler was really interested, but he had to support his family and run around for a living, so how could he afford to buy a ball to play with?Now, after hearing what the young master said, I will study it carefully.The one who made fun was pointed out, and his face was a little bit uncomfortable, but seeing no one laughed at him, the young master Fubao didn't say anything, and his burning face slowly cooled down, and he really started to learn.

After a while, someone joined, and it was really awkward.

After the students rested, Huang Langxi said, "Zhaoxi, I have a prepared ball, let's practice at the other end."

"Success." Li Zhaoxi nodded.

So at one end of the cuju field were students playing football, and at the other end two or three peddlers were playing. When the sun set, the peddler was sweating from kicking, but his face was flushed with excitement. He just scored a three-pointer!

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Those who closed the stalls and those who went home, the big guys dispersed, but before the game, there were more scenes of hawkers playing football on the field. From the original one or two people, to later people heard the wind and came to join in the fun from time to time. A team is coming.

The day before the competition, Li Zhaoxi returned home early and gave the vendor an old Cuju ball.

"Don't think it's an old one, I'm going to use a new one for the game, this is for you to play with."

Wherever the peddler disliked it, he was happy to hold it, and he couldn't stop thanking him.But young master Fubao has gone far away with his family.

The ball is old and somewhat dirty, and it can't be sold for a price. Although other people are envious of Young Master Fubao and look at this peddler differently, they are not jealous-it's just a broken ball and it's not for money. What's the matter?

But it is very happy for the hawkers. In the days after that, they can kick and play in the open space where there is no one every day after the goods are sold out. In the past, the simple day-to-day life has a glimmer of light.

The [-]nd Zhaozhou Cuju Competition started vigorously.

This year is even more lively--and I have more experience than last year. The observation decks of the venue are all divided up. Li Mansion has allocated a best viewing spot. Sun Mubaiyin sits on the main observation deck, and Rong Ye is also here. .

Ever since Rong Ye took the initiative to open the yard during the Chinese New Year, and later Bai Yin sent a few dishes there, there was no interaction before, but now they can talk and communicate.Bai Yin and Sun Mu looked at Rong Ye like an ordinary junior—not too close, nor indifferent, just polite.

So did Rong Ye.

Sit down.

The host is still the one from last year, and it started with a loudspeaker.

Liang Jiang's family also arrived. Mrs. Liang was still a little dazzled when she saw the young school players coming out of the cuju field, and said, "I look at that like an old lady?"

"That's my mother, look at how fast Chaoyang runs." Liang Jiang was very beaming and happy.

His daughter runs so fast!

Mrs. Liang was always watching out for her mother-in-law. If she was about to faint, she had to take a step forward and help her mother-in-law to rest first.

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Liang's eyes were really darkened, and she wanted to reprimand her daughter-in-law, but a burst of cheers on the field covered it——

"Li Zhaoxi! Well done!"

"As the sun shines, the first is the first!"

Mr. Gu is already familiar with the way and started talking.

On the court, Li Zhaoxi took a one-pointer to warm up first. Although it was a one-pointer, it wasn't long before the game started.Everyone was still very enthusiastic, and there were cheers one after another-you have to shout when you watch the game.

Everyone has the experience of last year, who is still reserved, and has already shouted without looking after the adults?

Therefore, Mrs. Liang wanted to question her daughter-in-law because she really had no place to ask questions—the atmosphere was wrong.As for later, it became nondescript. I wanted to ask the old man that he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he could only hold back in the end. Later, Mrs. Liang said that her mother-in-law looked bad, should she go back and have a rest?

Master Liang sent someone to take his mother back, and asked the doctor to take a look.

"Doctor Oda in this city is also watching the football game without opening the door today."

"Go ask the doctor next to you," Mrs. Liang said.

Mrs. Liang left early, so she didn't see behind her. Liang Chaoyang fell and fell so hard that it hurt to see her. Such a delicate little girl—Ms. Liang was in a hurry.

Seeing Liang Chaoyang got up again, he said that he had nothing to do and continued to run.

It was Li Zhaoxi who coaxed you to rest for a while, let the substitute play, and then replace you.

……

The game started lively and ended vigorously.This year is better than last year's. There are so many things to talk about, and I can't finish talking about it in the next half month. The cheering team, the score match, the adults in the spectator stand, and the traffickers will do a good job in business.

And there was a battle report from Beijing, that Dali was defeated in Fengzhou, and Hui Kingdom is now unstoppable, vowing to avenge the little prince, and to make Dali pay three cities and 10 taels of gold.

Faced with this clause and the news of the defeat, Emperor Tianshun not only didn't get angry, he was happy first - he felt that he had found an opportunity to rectify the assistant king from the beginning, and he could take back the military power from the assistant king.

The Kingdom of Hui originally negotiated a peace, but it was the auxiliary king who provoked the dispute first and killed the little prince of the Kingdom of Hui. I didn't say anything to make peace——Emperor Tianshun forgot that he had issued many imperial edicts in succession.

Now the Assistant King was fighting against the Kingdom of Hui, and he was actually defeated. The many conditions proposed by the Kingdom of Hui were all disasters brought about by the Assistant King for Dali.

In a word: There is someone who is guilty of the blame, and it is still someone who has wanted to kill him for a long time.

Emperor Tianshun was simply celebrating.

Another decree has been issued, and Emperor Tianshun took advantage of the reason this time. In addition, many previous edicts have been gone without reply and no news. Toffee made a threat.

The civil official who drafted the imperial edict hadn't written it for a long time, and he thought he was deaf.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. In this way, if the assistant king is angered, he will lead his troops..." After killing you, he will use the excuse of the Qing emperor to kill you, a foolish emperor, and even bring us trusted officials by your side. .

The assistant king has soldiers and horses in his hands.

Who the hell gave the holy magistrate such a muddled idea.That noble concubine was someone who had served the late emperor, and using her life as a threat is not filial.

The Holy One is confused.

Emperor Tianshun's head was slightly woken up, and he felt that although this courtier was an eyesore, refused to listen to his orders and chattered a lot, it was somewhat reasonable.

The mistake is definitely not his fault, it is the fault of the courtier.

Emperor Tianshun scolded him, meaning that this courtier provoked the family relationship of the Tian family. He didn't mean that at all.

Afterwards, the edict written by another person was milder, roughly meaning to tell the auxiliary king not to waste money and money, come back, I sent civil servants to negotiate peace with the kingdom of Hui, you killed the little prince of the kingdom of Hui, we will No, it's not for nothing to pay some money, you are my good second brother, and I will wipe your ass and clean up the mess.

Emperor Tianshun said these words because he wanted to beat him up, and let the assistant king remember his kindness.The assistant king has committed such a serious matter, he never thought of killing the assistant king, so naturally he will not let go of the grind and kill the donkey, so come back quickly.

But the assistant king was so furious that he drew his sword directly from the tent——

According to the anecdote of this incident, only a few people died, and the blood flowed all over the place. After that, the German army temporarily retreated for ten miles. Seeing this, Huiguo wanted to fight again, and there was another battle after that.

There were many casualties on both sides in this battle, and Dali actually died more. With the large number of people, he narrowly won and defended.

After that, the two sides faced off for a while, and neither of them wanted to attack and fight again.

At this time, Gu Zhao was in Yanzhou, and the Fan Kingdom also started to fight, and his uncle was endless.Gu Zhao swears, this Fan country is really a villain, he will move according to the wind, he will move when he sees the direction of the wind, don't let these two countries collude——

Bah bah bah, probably not.

In mid-June, the merchant from Zhaozhou, who Wang Jian was carrying, came back with a lot of letters.Because Gu Zhao was in Mozhou, Li Zhouzhou decided to ask Su Shiyi to take the letter written by senior brother Liang and Yan Erge in Jingli and send it to Mozhou himself.

He was afraid of something confidential.

"You've worked hard, how is the business? I originally thought about going once or twice this year. There are wars everywhere outside, so I'm afraid you won't be safe, and Su Shiyi isn't there either."

In mid-May, Su Shiyi got married, and Wang Jian took over the bond, and they all went by water.

Wang Jian replied: "Boss, the business has not been affected in any way. I see that the sales are getting better. There are also some strange merchants who want to cooperate, but I refuse to supply the goods."

"Don't cooperate with unfamiliar merchants first, it's better to refuse." Li Zhouzhou said.After briefly talking about the business, let Wang Jian go back and rest. Don't worry about the factory affairs during this period, and he will take care of everything.

After that, I opened the box to read the letter. Li Zhouzhou didn't look at Xiaoshu's, but opened the letter from my sister-in-law. In the past few years, my sister-in-law only sent a letter to say hello every year during the Chinese New Year, and she didn't write a letter at other times. .

Zheng Hui went to Fengzhou as an envoy in April, and it has been almost three months now, and there is no news.Tang Rou was anxious in the letter, she was really uneasy if there was another war over there.

After reading the letter, Li Zhouzhou knew that his sister-in-law was anxious, he knew the news, and also saw that the sister-in-law wanted to ask them for help, but she was at a loss—because the sister-in-law didn't say how to help.

Moreover, Zhaozhou and Fengzhou are exactly on the same line, one end is in the south and the other end is in the north.

My sister-in-law went to the doctor in an emergency.

Li Zhouzhou looked at Xiaoshu's letter again, it was written in more detail, it turned out that his sister-in-law had also begged Xiaoshu to ask Second Brother Yan to come forward and ask when the envoys who left last time would come back.

Yan Jinxin asked, and then his face turned ashes.

The assistant king detains the envoys sent by Emperor Tianshun. This is blatantly despising the imperial power and slapping Emperor Tianshun in the face. The embarrassing Emperor Tianshun can't vent with the assistant king. Now he is asked by a civil servant with no family background. Scolded a pass.

After scolding, I remembered that this person was the hero who helped him to become the throne in the first place - apology is naturally impossible, anyone in this world can make mistakes, only the Holy One can't be wrong.

Emperor Tianshun was also perfunctory - this person had no background, he was given a sweet date after beating and scolding, he was promoted, and had no real power - of course he had no real power before, but this time he kicked him out of the cabinet, it was the prince Shaobao , from the official of the second rank.

It is the teacher who taught the princes to read.

Xiaoshu wrote in the letter: ...Promoted to be promoted, I think the promotion is a fart, it is not as good as when I was selling braised stew in Ningping County, he was studying in the academy, and he still looks like a living person when he comes back. Now I don’t know what to think every day , Only when Xiao Hei made a fuss did he have an angry face.

Brother Zhou, it’s not that I’m living a better life and saying these things hypocritically. You don’t know. When I see him sometimes, I feel uncomfortable and feel sorry for him. Teaching to the prince, such a decent job, others can’t ask for it, but I don’t know what to say, he sighs when he’s okay, then writes messy things, and even writes poems for your man, maybe he misses you too. Mr. Gu turned around and said some good persuasion.

Li Zhouzhou was fine when he saw the letter, but Gu Zhao was very bright when he saw it.

Brother, why do you bother yourself, and your brother who is far away in Zhaozhou! ! !

It's been 800 years, do you really want to write a poem about brotherhood?

Li Zhouzhou persuaded: "Xiao Shu has already opened his mouth like this, you can write one, Mr. Yan, to coax Mr. Yan."

Those who don't know think that Mr. Gu has such a talent for writing that he has to be persuaded by everyone to write down some quatrains that have been passed down through the ages.

"..." Mr. Gu raised his pen with bitterness and hatred.

The author has something to say:

Master Yan: I was promoted and wrote a poem, recalling brother Zhao [full of sorrow and depression that no one can understand]

Mr. Gu: Second brother, don’t think too much about being promoted, if not, let’s just eat, drink and have fun——【The fork can’t be used again
