The sturdy life of crossing

Guanshi Hao gave Jian Leyang a brief account of the situation in the He Mansion in the capital, and Jian Wenyuan held his face and listened very seriously.

The He family belonged to a famous family in the capital. When the imperial concubine and ancestor were able to conquer the country, the He family made great achievements. At that time, the He family had no girls of the right age, but only one elder brother. He was named a noble king by the emperor, comparable to a noble concubine, but this noble gentleman He had no children in his life, and he had no favor in the harem, so he lived his life without incident. Compared with other honorable families, the He family was really low-key at that time. At that time, there were several honorable families who were proud of their merits and angered the emperor. Touched the bottom line, ranging from seizing the title, to ransacking the family and exterminating the family.

The He family was granted the title of marquis at the beginning, and now they have no titles. However, compared to other noble descendants, the He family's children have a rare reputation. Some people have passed the imperial examination to become officials. Now the imperial court's minister of rites is the He family. As far as I know, the generation of the He family is married to Prince Cheng's mansion, but I didn't expect that Jiang's surname would be so bold that even members of the He family would dare to do it!But the He family would actually send the clan's children to the south to get involved in this muddy water. Could it be that the He family actually stood in line with the princes this time?

Guanshi Hao has a very good impression of the He family. The head of the He family has been very calm since the establishment of the dynasty. He knows when to keep a low profile and when to stand out. The reputation is also very good. The He family has never stood in the team in every change of imperial power before. Although there is no merit of the dragon, it will not be within the scope of liquidation. As long as the emperor on the throne is not a fatuous person, he will not Include the He family in the liquidation.

Jian Leyang put down the teacup and said, "What if the people above are so miserable that they all endanger the survival of the He family? Maybe they were forced to fight to the death."

Compared with the He family and the Jiang family like this, Jian Leyang felt that it was not a loss to save the He family. If someone like the Jiang family was like him, he might go back to the mountains immediately and kill them.

Guanshi Hao touched his double chin and sighed: "Maybe you are right, brother Yang, maybe the He family blocked the way of some people. Grandpa Hao told you this to remind you, don't I have entered and exited Xindan County, so as not to attract the attention of those people and expose myself."

Jian Leyang blinked, telling him not to go to Xindan County?But what should he do with what he promised He Yunzhang?

Seeing this expression, Guanshi Hao was taken aback: "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, I promised He Yunzhang to go to Xindan County and help him take samples." Jian Leyang said casually.

Guanshi Hao's expression became serious: "Could it be that this Young Master He came to Xindan County for the purpose? This matter is no small matter, "Get up and take two steps, if it is not related to Jian Leyang, why would he need to bother so much?" How about sending a message to the surname Qu and let him find a way to find out?"

Jian Leyang thought for a while and said: "I don't want it anymore, so as not to startle the snake, I will do it myself. Don't worry, Grandpa Hao, I will make full preparations before leaving. I won't go in through the main entrance. I will pick a dark and windy time to get in." .”

Guanshi Hao stared blankly. Seeing that Jian Leyang did not change his words, he waved his hands and said, "You go to your grandfather's place. If your grandfather agrees, then I have nothing to say."

"Okay, then Wen Yuan and I will go to grandpa first. I understand Grandpa Hao's feelings. I care about my own safety more than others. Wen Yuan, let's go first." Jian Leyang got up and patted his butt to leave. Concern is not unsatisfactory. When I was about to go out, I remembered something again. I took out a small white stone from my body and threw it out with my backhand. "Grandpa Hao, I found it in the mountains."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Hao." Jian Wenyuan also hastily said goodbye, trotting after his brother.

Guanshi Hao sighed helplessly, he had already walked out, and the white stone fell into his hands, he didn't pay attention at first, but when he took a closer look, he stood up from the chair, stuck out his tongue and licked it in disbelief, Sure enough, it was bitter and salty. That is to say, when Brother Yang was wandering in the mountains, he actually asked him to find a salt mine? !

Guanshi Hao couldn't help laughing: "This brother is so capable of making troubles, he can even run into a salt mine, forget it, let Zhao Tietou worry about it!"

Jian Wenyuan quickly climbed into the bullock cart and sat beside his brother, looking up at his brother with his wrinkled little face upturned, without saying anything.

Jian Leyang couldn't drive the bullock cart anymore, so he had to put down the reins, and flicked his forehead angrily: "What are you doing so weird? Just tell me if you have something to say, or my brother will throw you out of the cart."

"Brother!" Jian Wenyuan suddenly hugged his brother's arm with great strength, implying that he couldn't just throw it down like this!

"Brother, why are you doing such a dangerous thing? I can understand what Grandpa Hao said!" So brother, don't be perfunctory. "

Jian Leyang rumpled the hair on his head in a funny way, and then patted it down: "Silly brother, you have to understand that the danger varies from person to person. For ordinary people, it is very dangerous. If it were you, father or even grandpa, you would have to take a lot of risks, but to brother, that would not be called danger, understand? Your brother and I cherish this little life more than anyone else."

"But... Jian Wenyuan still wants to fight.

"Stop it, sit down quickly!" Jian Leyang got angry, and Jian Wenyuan immediately let go of his hand, and sat obediently on the side.

Seeing the resentful and pitiful eyes, Jian Leyang was funny and angry, and said while driving the car: "It's not too late for you to express your opinion after your brother speaks with facts. You should study hard now, and you will step down when you can stand alone in the future." Rang Xian."

Jian Wenyuan clenched his fist. Sure enough, he was too young to have the right to speak. He must grow up quickly. Why didn't his parents teach him?

Jian Leyang drove the empty ox cart to Huaren Hall, picked up a bag beside him, said hello to the boy, and walked through the hall to go inside.In the few days in the mountains, he traveled to many places that he hadn’t visited before, so he got some good materials, such as ginseng and ganoderma. inside.

That cartload of wild game only earned about twenty or so taels of silver. Of course, for the farmers, this harvest was worth two or three years' income.

The medicinal materials he brought made Doctor Hua very happy, so Grandpa Zhao was very angry. Obviously Brother Yang was his grandson, but this thing was either given to someone surnamed Hao or Hua, or it was not for him, so he Xiao Wenyuan can make him happy.

In the mountains, Jian Leyang couldn't handle these medicinal materials properly. Doctor Hua couldn't wait to get into the pharmacy and prepare them all, but he remembered that there were still many things he hadn't told Jian Leyang, so he had to put the medicinal materials in the pharmacy first. come out.

"Have you told Brother Yang about the surname Hao?"

"Yeah," Jian Leyang asked Doctor Hua for paper and a pen when he came over, drew circles on the paper, puffed up his cheeks and dried the ink after finishing, "Grandpa Hua, I've already been involved in this matter, Then just do it to the end and give up halfway, as if I was afraid of them, Grandpa, help me find someone to make two things, I need it urgently, I plan to visit Xindan County and the county magistrate's mansion at night."

Dr. Hua choked on his saliva and coughed a few times, but Grandpa Zhao happily patted his grandson on the back: "Good guy Yang, this is the most like grandpa, if you have anything to do, just let the horse come over, and grandpa will block for you." That's it. Don't worry, Grandpa promises to help you do it, two days, right? Two days!"

Dr. Hua glared at this Zhao surname angrily, not to mention that he didn't help to persuade, but also added fuel to the fire, for fear that Brother Yang's troubles would be minor.

Jian Leyang had fun, and told the two elders here what he had said to Guanshi Hao. Hearing that Grandpa Zhao's fists were clenched, he wished he could go to Xindan County with Jian Leyang and kill the dog surnamed Zhong. The officer clicked.

Jian Leyang explained how to use his tools again. Grandpa Zhao knew a lot about this aspect. When talking about those conspiracies in the officialdom, his mind was confused. When Jian Leyang talked about his plan, Grandpa Zhao's eyes were bright, so In the end, he was the one who was most at ease with Jian Leyang: "Don't worry, grandpa will meet you outside. If you don't come out, grandpa will rush in. Among other things, the city wall of our county is basically empty. Yes, it is also the worst repaired, it has not been reinforced for many years, fortunately our place is not close to the border, otherwise it will be rushed by those foreigners, and it will collapse as soon as it is rushed."

Jian Wenyuan wriggled on his grandfather: "Grandpa, take me with you, I promise to be obedient."

"You little bastard," Grandpa Zhao slapped his little grandson's butt twice, "Grandpa also listens to your brother about this matter, do you think grandpa dares not listen to your brother?"

Jian Wenyuan lost his face, well, what his grandfather said was right, and his grandfather also listened to his brother: "Then I will exercise well in the future, so that my brother will take me with me?" In fact, there is no boy who does not like taking risks. More or less have such factors.

Jian Leyang nodded and said, "I'll take you with me when I pass the inspection."

Jian Wenyuan became happy again. Grandpa Zhao exchanged glances with Dr. Hua at a place he hadn't seen, and then they both shook their heads in unison, thinking that Brother Yang said, "Is it so easy to pass the test? It's too early to be happy."

In fact, Jian Leyang has no other intentions, but hopes that his younger brother will keep exercising, and scholars also need a good body, at least if they rush to the exam in the future, they can survive the entire exam.

Everyone has their own strengths, and it is enough for Wen Yuan to follow the path that suits him.

Before leaving, Jian Leyang also told about the discovery of the salt mine, and Doctor Hua asked, "Brother Yang, what do you want to do?"

Jian Leyang rubbed his chin and said, "Let's leave it at that for the time being. I don't want to sell private salt. Let's see the situation first. Anyway, the salt mine will not run away by itself. Maybe it will come in handy sometime. Even if I want to do private salt trading, I won't do it myself."

For others, who would be beheaded for private salt trading, who would dare to touch their hands?Of course, private salt is held in the hands of those with deep backgrounds and powerful people, but if the court continues to be like this, don't blame him for meddling, otherwise where would he get the money to support people to win over Zhang Meng and the like?

Doctor Hua nodded gratifiedly, Brother Yang was very measured in his work, which reassured him, if it was purely for money, Lao Qu would naturally have a way to help him sell some private salt, but it was not a long-term business after all, it was a sale of private salt The profits are too big, and those people can't allow others to reach in and divide their profits.

When the sun went down, the two brothers drove the ox cart back to the village again. Now the money on hand is enough to raise a cow or a horse for the family. His current status in the village is not ordinary and he is also envied by others.

Along the way, people from the village continued to greet them. From time to time, someone asked, Brother Yang made a lot of money this trip, and his envious expression could not be concealed, but there were few people who were jealous. After staying for these days, and his strength is not even half as good as his, who can drag back nearly a thousand catties of prey?

Many people in the village suspect that if his strength continues to increase like this, his strength will be over a thousand catties in the future, and this strongman will not be able to compare with his brother.

Those who are jealous are like widows with money, and the acid water in their stomachs is about to come out. In her opinion, there must be 20 taels of silver for a trip. If the younger brother of the natal family can marry such a daughter-in-law, he will not worry about lying on the kang all day long. She ate and drank, but now she didn't even dare to approach Jian Leyang, at most she said a few sour words behind her back, thinking that Jian Leyang could drag such a heavy thing, one finger could crush her to death, she hasn't lived enough yet.

Someone told Jian Leyang: "Your uncle came back and took the old lady and his family away, saying that he went to enjoy the blessings in the county town, but when your uncle left, her tail was almost up to the sky.

"Take them all away?" "Jian Leyang asked in surprise.

Yes, I took them all away, even the old hens that laid eggs at home, and locked the door, saying that the third child Jian bought ice, and took their family to the county town to enjoy the blessings, Yang Brother, Boss Jane is really capable?Did he find a way to find such a hard-to-buy ice?And your grandfather's family has a lot of money. "Someone thought of Jian Dafu's ostentatious face.

Jian Wenyuan was not happy, no matter where the uncle was looking for, the uncle took the credit for all of them.

Jian Leyang winked at him, smiled and said to others: "We don't know about these things, I think uncle didn't tell my parents when they left."

"No, your parents only knew about it after hearing it from other people, alas..." After speaking, he gave the two brothers a sympathetic look. Although Brother Yang is capable, their family has the least status in Jane's family. I can't figure out why the second elder of Jian's family looks down on Mrs. Jian so much.

After waiting for others, Jian Wenyuan asked his brother why he didn't say anything, and Jian Leyang said cheerfully, "What's there to show off in this kind of thing? It's fine when you get the money. We call it silently making a fortune."

Well, Jian Wenyuan said, this is what his brother said about being cool.

Back home, father and mother Jane asked about the situation in the town, but Jian Dafu didn't listen to what he said. He only showed off his extensive connections and acquaintances in the village, but he didn't tell the truth. After going into the details of the scene, Father Jane twitched his mouth when he heard it. He couldn't say that his child cheated the old man and the elder brother once. This is what they are happy about, isn't it?
