The sturdy life of crossing

While driving the carriage, He Liu pricked up his ears to listen to what the master was talking to that brother. The master cares too much about this brother, and the identity of this brother is also hard to explain.Followed the master to that small village, how could He Liu not know that this brother Yang was the boss Le of the Canghe gang, and the master actually had a good chat with the boss of the Canghe gang.

Jian Leyang first thanked He Yunzhang for coming to support Jian's family in person, He Yunzhang smiled: "If you want to say thank you, I have to thank you, I have already locked up the person you asked Big Brother Zhang and the others to send, and I will send them to Yunyang County. people to negotiate."

He Yunzhang did not expect that Brother Yang would kill a group of water bandits when sending Master Jian to take the exam. The government also came forward to deal with those water bandits, but those people were not slippery, and when the officers and soldiers arrived, they had already run away and disappeared , in fact, He Yunzhang also guessed that someone in the government must have colluded with the water bandits to report the news in time, which led to the failures again and again, and because he was not on his territory, he really had no way to manage it, but now the water bandit leader sent His hands are different.

"It's all about mutual benefits. I've already taken the benefits I want, and I won't lose money on this deal."

He Yunzhang smiled when he heard it, and the corners of He Liu's mouth twitched even more, did he look like a brother?Rude than a man.

"Brother Yang, although the results of the investigation in the capital haven't come out yet, after I met Mrs. Jian yesterday, I can be sure that what you expected, Brother Yang, is not bad." He Yunzhang saw that Jian Leyang raised his eyebrows, and continued, "If Mrs. Jian and Uncle Nan Ping stand together, I believe that people who see Danfan will not doubt their relationship."

"So my father looks very similar to Uncle Nan Ping?" Jian Leyang snorted.

"There are four or five points of similarity. If you don't put them together, maybe you won't be suspicious, because Nan Pingbo and Mrs. Jian have a lot of temperament. Anyone who looks at these two people will feel that they are not the same type of people, but I know your intentions, brother Yang, so I'm sure that Mrs. Jian's life experience is indeed different. Brother Yang, what do you want to do?"

Jian Leyang smiled and said one word: "Wait."

"Wait?" He Yunzhang asked puzzled.

"Yeah, wait, wait, wait for the other party to jump out by himself, why can't my father come to the door by himself and say that he is the son of Nanping uncle? We don't care about this Nanping uncle's mansion, but those who do these things should pay the price A coldness flashed in Jian Leyang's eyes, his father didn't suffer from bad luck in the past few years, but was lucky enough to survive, so it's only natural to pay off the debts that should be owed.

He Yunzhang sighed: "Brother Yang is right, if you act rashly, you may scare the snake away."

Jian Leyang sent He Yunzhang back to Xindan County before returning alone. He Liu looked at his young master with complicated eyes as he watched Jian Leyang leave. Feeling sorry for your young master?Shouldn't it be my young master who sent my brother to the door?Why did it go the other way when it came to Jian Leyang?

He Yunzhang saw Jian Leyang leave without hesitation, turned around until he could no longer see the figure, and urged He Liu to catch the car.

While driving the car, He Liu looked carefully at his young master's expression, and asked tentatively: "Master, who do you think would dare to marry such Mr. Jian in the future? Mr. Jian seems to be the master of the house from outside, right?"

He Yunzhang glanced at He Liu with a smile: "Even if someone wants to marry, Brother Yang may not be willing to marry. Isn't it good for Brother Yang to charge outside?"

He Liuan called out badly, his young master not only didn't think it was different, but was proud of it: "Then who will be in charge in the future?"

He Yunzhang paused, and then said with a straight face: "It is not easy to manage the internal affairs well." For example, this time, there are many follow-up matters to the water bandit incident, and He Yunzhang will definitely help Brother Yang wipe his buttocks It's clean, and I'm sure it won't involve Brother Yang.

He Liu's eyes widened, he almost didn't know his young master, did Jian Leyang know that the young master was so thoughtful?And does the old master know?old master will cry

Jian Leyang didn't go back to the village directly, but went to Zhuangzishang, where brother Xie'er, master and servant are currently arranged.

Jian Leyang was surprised when he saw Xie Wenyi with a cloth tied on his forehead. There were blood oozing from the cloth strip. After a little thought, he understood what was going on. He just dug out the red mole between his eyebrows, and waited for the wound to heal. Afterwards, an ugly scar will be left there.

"You don't regret it?" Once this red mole is removed, the appearance of ten will become seven or eight, or even only six or seven.

"No regrets!" Xie Wenyi touched the wound but did not show any regrets, "Thank you son for giving me the opportunity to support myself, Wenyi is very grateful."

Jian Leyang had seen earlier that Xie Wenyi was well-bred by his mother, Xie Shi, and it was no problem to be able to read and write. Qiu Tan has been holding several jobs and wanted to find someone to share with him, so Jian Leyang thought of Xie Wenyi at the beginning Arrangement, simply hand over this Zhuangzi to his mother Ding to take care of it, and Xie Wenyi will stay here to take care of the children's literacy and bookkeeping in the Master's Teaching Gang. In the future, Xie Wenyi is willing to come out to do things, then he is even more welcome.

"That's good. If the people below have any disrespect, feel free to speak up. You know the gang rules in the Canghe Gang. I don't allow the people below to mess with the water. I don't need to be friendly on the surface. You Do you understand?" Jian Leyang declared.

Xie Wenyi said with a slightly moved face: "Thank you son, the meaning of the text is clear."

Not far away, Mama Ding and her grandson Ding Chang also bowed to Jian Leyang, and after Jian Leyang left, Mama Ding hurried over and said, "Brother Yi, we really met a good man, it's you, Brother Yi." ... Mama Ding felt sorry for brother Yi's suffering.

But Xie Wenyi laughed: "Mom, don't cry, I get rid of this, I feel relaxed, I don't feel bitter at all, God treats me well, it allows me to meet someone like the young master, compared to him, I am so inferior Far."

Even if he still stays in the capital, he has heard many things over the years. How many of those brothers in the capital are living happily?No matter how outstanding she was before she got married, she gradually lost her voice after she got married.

"Okay, mom won't talk anymore, as long as Brother Yi is happy, mom will be happy. Brother Yi is right. It's rare for mom to sleep peacefully when she's here. Xiaochang also has a playmate, so she's happier than in the capital." Mama Ding wiped her tears. She is an old man next to Xie, and Xie was not taken seriously. After her death, her life in Fan's family was even more difficult. Even her grandson was often bullied. Now there are many more grandchildren in this village. smiley.

Jian Leyang took away the account books of the water bandits that day, the gold and silver alone amounted to five or six thousand taels of silver, which was even richer than that of Huang Boss before. Not only the gold and silver, but also the ornaments from people, the goods on the passing cargo ships, including cloth, utensils, medicinal materials, grains, tea, etc. Some goods are piled up there, and they would rather be moldy than take them out for use. , This eliminated a batch, and let Jian Leyang enter the treasury of the Canghe Gang, and there was no need to take it out for money, and the internal consumption of the Canghe Gang was not small.

Of course, Jian Leyang, the boss, took a few bolts of cloth and a few packs of fresh tea leaves, and when he got home, the guests had already dispersed, leaving only Aunt Zhao and others to help Jian Niang clean the yard.

"Where are Dad and Wen Yuan?" Jian Leyang saw that they were not at home.

Jian Niang said worriedly: "Being called away by your grandfather, Wen Yuan worried and followed along."

In the past, although Jian Niang felt that the old man was eccentric, she probably wouldn't harm her husband. After all, he was also his son, and the tiger's poison did not eat children, but now that she knew that the old man had a different background, she dared not be so sure. It's impossible to remind Xianggong, because Xianggong just came back today, and I haven't had time to say anything to him.

"Brother Yang is back, come, come and talk to grandpa, your mother is the only one who has to worry about your father's place, the sky is bright and bright, what does that old man dare to do? If you want me to say, it's just trying to torment your father, that's all. It depends on whether your father is so filial." Grandpa Zhao said with sarcasm.

Jian Leyang comforted Jian Niang: "Mother, grandpa is right. He probably wants to mention something to our father. It depends on whether our father agrees. Mother must have some confidence in my father."

Doctor Hua was also sitting at the side drinking tea, looking at Jian Leyang with a smile on his face, listening to Grandpa Zhao complaining about Mrs. Jian, Jian Leyang came over and poured a cup of tea by himself, not too worried about the situation of Jane's father, his father was filial before, but he was not stupid filial piety.

While talking to Grandpa and Doctor Hua, Jian Leyang observed their expressions. He wondered if Grandpa and Doctor Hua knew about Father Jian's life experience.

After a while, Father Jian and Jian Wenyuan came back one after the other. Jian Wenyuan walked behind with his head hanging down, and when he heard his brother's voice, he immediately regained his energy and trotted over: "Brother, you are back, you put Brother He sent it back?"

Jian Leyang stretched out his hand and flicked to his younger brother's forehead, but they only met yesterday, so he was called Big Brother He.

"What did the old guy ask your father to do?" Grandpa Zhao asked his grandson in front of him in a deep voice.

Jian Wenyuan made a frustrated face again, Father Jian smiled helplessly, and Aunt Zhao and others who hadn't left yet looked at Father Jian curiously.Jian Wenyuan opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Jian's father with a wave of his hand, and said, "Father-in-law, dad hopes that I will wholeheartedly support the third brother's scientific examination. The third brother is younger than me and has a better future than me. In the future, the third brother will also support him." Our family."

"Bah!" Grandpa Zhao guessed this would be such a rhetoric early in the morning, but he still couldn't help cursing, "That old bastard, Mr. Jian has the ability to let him take the exam by himself, and to block the future of other sons, As far as the relationship is concerned, Jane's third child is his own, and you are not his own son, are you, so you're trying to be mean?〃

"Father-in-law..." Father Jian hurriedly comforted him.

"What's your name? I'm talking about you. Do you really want to listen to that old man's nonsense, disregard your wife and children, and believe in that selfish and cold-blooded third child Jane?" Grandpa Zhao interrupted Father Jane angrily.

Father Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Aunt Zhao and the others listened with great joy, but Grandpa Zhao could scold those words, but Father Jane's family couldn't say them.

Jian Leyang's family finally persuaded Grandpa Zhao to go back to the house. Aunt Zhao and others brought back some leftover meat and vegetables at noon. After leaving, they must have spread what Mr. Jian said, and they didn't know that those village elders What do you think after hearing it.

Grandpa Zhao scolded severely, but after returning to the house, he was very calm, and Doctor Hua just watched from the sidelines.

"Father-in-law, son-in-law did not agree to come down." Only then did Jian's father speak the truth.

"That's right, grandpa, you blamed my father wrongly. My father didn't agree to what grandpa said. My father said that he didn't have much ability to help third uncle, and he also said that he didn't need third uncle's support. If he can't get ahead, he will teach him in the village for the rest of his life." Book, just like that, and was scolded by grandma." Jian Wenyuan justified his father's name.

Grandpa Zhao hummed twice through his nasal cavity, as if he had spared Father Jian for the time being. Father Jian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he was much more nervous facing his father-in-law than his father, and it was not the case to argue with Father.

"Sir, "now that the door is closed, there is only one family left, and some things can be said. Mother Jian looked at Father Jian hesitantly, "What do you want to say?" It doesn't fit the lady's temperament, Father Jian asked urgently.

Jian Niang glanced at Jian Leyang, what do you want to say?Can Xianggong withstand the blow?

"Father, mother wants to say, father, is it possible that you are not the real son of the Jian family, that's why you are so blindly suppressing you to stand out, father, if you pass the exam, it is not the same as the honor of the Jian family's ancestors?" Jian Leyang said it for his mother.

Grandpa Zhao and Doctor Hua looked at each other.

Father Jian was startled, unable to speak for a while, Jian Leyang and Mother Jian looked at each other in blank dismay, could it be that Father Jian already knew something?

Jian Wenyuan stared at his brother, did he know something? If he had to say that the most trusted person in the family, it was his brother.

Father Jane came back to his senses after a while, looked at the worried faces of his family, and asked, "Did you know something? Father once overheard something your grandma said, brother Yang, and vaguely guessed that I might Not their own son, but anyway, they raised me."

He knew that it was impossible to seek proof, so no matter what was done to him at the beginning, he did not resist, but endured it silently.

Only when it endangered his wife and children did he not blindly obey.

"Father, because of this kindness of nurturing, if the father forces him not to take the scientific examination again and not to leave Yong'an Village for the rest of his life, what will he do?" Jian Leyang asked.

This request is too rude, and my father will not agree to it. There are other ways to repay the kindness of nurturing.Father Jane would not agree, so he didn't let go in front of the old man today.

"Father doesn't agree, what if I use other methods to cut off your scientific research path?" Jian Leyang continued to ask.

Father Jane was startled: "What is your grandfather going to do?"

"For example, hire someone to break your father's leg, making people think it was an accident, or scratching your father's face, or breaking your hand." There are actually many ways to make a person unable to take the imperial examination and become an official. .

"Your grandfather..." Father Jane was shocked.

"Father wants to say that grandpa won't do this? But if dad refuses to agree to grandpa's words, for the sake of third uncle's future, dad, can you guess what grandpa will do? Is there anything in the family that can compare to third uncle?" Is your future still important?" Jian Leyang pointed at the key point, not letting Father Jane escape.

Father Jian was in a daze, not knowing how to answer Brother Yang's question, Mother Jian couldn't bear to see it: "Brother Yang, let your father think about it, your father will figure it out."

Grandpa Zhao snorted angrily, still trying to escape? "Brother Yang, did you hear something? Tell grandpa directly, let your father see the true face of that family, and don't get you and Wenyuan involved in the end."

Father Jane smiled wryly, and patted his wife's hand: "Father-in-law, I didn't doubt what Brother Yang said, but I couldn't accept it for a while. Brother Yang's words are right. I always knew what his grandfather valued most, that is three Regarding my brother's future, not to mention sacrificing me alone, even my father's life, I'm afraid he won't hesitate a bit."

It’s just that he knows that he knows that when he really knows that his father is going to destroy him for the sake of the third child’s future, he still trembles, and a chill comes out of his bones. He asks himself that he has never disobeyed other than the matter of the wife and the child. The second elder, in the situation when the family was separated, because he guessed his possible life experience, he didn't care too much about it, he just repaid the second elder's kindness of upbringing, and tolerated everything.

"My father... is crazy." Other than that, Jian's father didn't think about anything else.

"Brother Yang..." Father Jian looked up at Jian Leyang.

Jian Leyang went back to the house to get the letter, and found the intercepted letter from County Magistrate Zhong's study, and handed it to his father: "Dad, don't worry, with me here, I won't let Grandpa hurt Dad and ruin the future of Dad and Wen Yuan." Although father said that the two elders have the grace of nurturing, but father does not owe them much. On the contrary, Jane's family made a windfall because of father. Otherwise, father really thinks that grandpa has the ability to run a business? Just to fool outsiders and give the third uncle a boost .”

Father Jane's hands trembled. He didn't dare to think about this situation before, but it made sense in this way, why his mother had already publicized his fate in the village, and on the other hand, the three The younger brother was praised to the sky, and he failed the four scientific examinations, so it seems... not due to bad luck.
