son-in-law

Chapter 982
Nanshi Vase Alley

Li Chenghai, who was idle on weekdays and wandered around holding a birdcage, suddenly disappeared.He hadn't seen anyone for half a month, and there were rumors in the alley that Li Chenghai might be dead. For this reason, the people sitting under the big pagoda tree at the entrance of the alley cheered.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that he was not dead, and everyone just wanted to cheer for his death.

If Li Chenghai really died, his father Fangzheng would have to hold a big funeral and collect some money.

When it comes to official favors, the younger the official, the more he suffers, because the lower officials have to carefully prepare for the weddings and funerals of the Shangguan's family, but when it is the turn of the lower official's family to handle affairs, the upper official may not come over.Therefore, a ninth-rank official like Li Fangzheng is embarrassed to send invitations to Shangguan's house even if there is something to do at home.I'm afraid of making trouble for Shangguan and making him unhappy.

Li Chenghai, who was always smiling all day long, suddenly turned into an otaku, which is really new.It was only later that people found out that Li Chenghai picked up a big living person at the entrance of the alley, took him home, and served him like an ancestor.

At first everyone thought he had picked up a beautiful woman, but later they found out that she was a tall man with a wild appearance.

At this time, there was a new topic in the market, and the content of this topic was simply difficult to talk about.All in all, when the men in the alley mentioned Li Chenghai, their expressions immediately changed.Say it, and walk around him in the future.

Although his reputation has always been bad, Li Chenghai has never done anything lacking in virtue.He is very thick-skinned, and he is born with a distasteful appearance, cheap.Furthermore, the complacency of the second generation of the official family is really unpleasant, and they always tell people that my father is Li Gang, and it is easy to work in the workshop.

Because he always talks like this, everyone nicknamed his father "Li Haoshi".

But since getting to know that tall and wild man, Li Chenghai has become more humble, serving him diligently every day, even more energetically than serving his father.

Li Gang and his wife also respected the big man and called him Master Dong.

And this master Dong only said that he suffered from an old illness and fell ill at the entrance of the alley. Since he was rescued by his son, he must repay him.While speaking, he showed his hands in front of their father and son, grabbing broken bricks with his bare hands, and the whole family was dumbfounded at that time.

He's not doing street tricks to smash bricks with his palms, but to smash a green brick directly with his hands. How much strength does this person have?
"Master, are you going back to Hanzhong?"

When Li Chenghai heard that the master was leaving, he said reluctantly.

The point is, after half a month, he felt that he hadn't learned the real skills, and he suspected that the master didn't teach him with his heart.

In fact, Dong Ran has already taught him some mental methods, and even told him his own practice experience.But this kid's comprehension is too poor, half a month has passed, and he hasn't developed any energy.Dong Ran felt that it was unlikely that he would get out of Qi training, and even if he did, he would not be able to become a master in the future.

Because he lacks talent, and talent is something, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it, and you can't force it.

"No, not going back for the time being. But I won't stay in your house anymore either."

"That is to say, Master is still in Luoyang?"

"Ah."

Li Chenghai shrugged his shoulders and asked tentatively: "Master is so good at kung fu, why don't you let my father introduce you to the Houbo family as a martial arts teacher? My father can talk to 'Nan Hebo', or... "

Dong Ran waved his hand: "If you want to be a teacher in a noble family as a teacher, you will find it."

"Oh, that's true. Master's martial arts are so powerful. If you show your skills, you can go anywhere without worrying about food." Li Chenghai chuckled, and said again: "If Master finds a good place, he will also pull disciples."

Dong Ran thought of something, and smiled wildly: "If you are brave enough, I can send you to a good place."

Li Chenghai was overjoyed, and asked tentatively, "Which uncle is it?"

Dong Ran said seriously: "No, it's a prince."

"Which county prince?"

"Prince."

"Prince?!"

Li Chenghai never expected that his good life would come like this.

His father is only a Jiupin Fangzheng, so he admires him so much that he has to talk about it every time he goes out.

Now that he flies into the palace with the phoenix, won't he be even more radiant in the future?

Li Chenghai told Dong Ran that he had no other abilities, but he was bold and thick-skinned.

Dong Ran smiled, and asked him to hire a sedan chair outside. Dong Ran sat in the sedan chair, and Li Chenghai rushed to Kang Wang's mansion on foot.

When he arrived at Kang Wang's mansion, Dong Ran found his senior brother Zhou Tang, and Zhou Tang found Zhao Yuan. After some questioning, Zhao Yuan threw a waist card to Li Chenghai.

Then Dong Ran arranged for his disciples to take Li Chenghai to learn the rules.

In the second courtyard of the palace, in the East Wing, Zhou Tang stroked his beard lightly: "Why did you bring such a person here, Junior Brother?"

Dong Ran didn't answer directly, but said: "It's my fault that I failed to break into the Prince Qin's mansion. Since my method doesn't work, I will follow the method of senior brother from now on. I know what kind of person senior brother needs."

Zhou Tang nodded and said: "Senior Brother has always been straightforward in handling affairs, and Senior Brother admires it. But now that Zhao Yuan has returned, some things still need to be arranged by him."

Zhou Tang smiled wryly, and said again: "Zhao Yuan came back this time with great style. He scolded me first, and then Zhao Min. Moreover, he vetoed my plan, saying that my method was too slow. , in another three years, there may not be a chance to assassinate the King of Qin."

Dong Ran smiled wryly: "The reason I brought Li Chenghai here is because he has a businesslike aura, a thick skin, and a raw face, so it is easy to get mixed up in Qinghuafang. But if the brother's plan has been rejected, then keep Li Chenghai." Cheng Hai is useless."

Zhou Tang waved his hand and said: "Although I am a senior brother, I have little intelligence, but I can see that Li Chenghai must be a man who is greedy for profit. This kid has a thick skin, and such a person is better than those who are thin-skinned." .Although it is impossible for a person like him to risk his life, if you give him some benefits, he will be a good dog."

It is worth mentioning that when Zhou Tang selected disciples, he was willing to choose those with thin skins, because he liked people with a sense of shame as his disciples.But when he chooses a dog, he likes to choose a thick-skinned one.

Dong Ran said: "Brother, what do you mean, while carrying out Zhao Yuan's plan, carry out the original plan again?"

"Yes, I never intended to stop." Zhou Tang stood up, looked left and right out of the window, turned around and said, "Zhang Kang told me that people like Zhao Yuan have no real skills. He takes the lead, but It’s a cover, and we do what we do. The key is to make it work.”

Dong Ran wondered: "Then why does King Kang use Zhao Yuan? It's really annoying to let him dictate in front of us."

Zhou Tang smiled darkly: "Fighting in the court, how can such a kind person as King Kang use such insidious methods as assassination? If we, a group of 'bandits', directly serve King Kang, it will be unreasonable. But if there is a If someone pays for King Kang to kill someone, then it is not on King Kang's head."

Zhou Tang sighed and stood up: "Clean up and prepare to leave the palace. We will meet in Beishi later."

……

There was a great deal of fun in Chang'an County Lord's Mansion.

Who would have believed that among the eighteen "nephews" that Tang Ling'er trained for two years, there was actually a girl.

Speaking of the whole story, we have to start from the beginning.Back then, Tang Ling'er wanted to dig out the potential from within the family, and asked the princes to recommend hardworking and shrewd young people to work in Xiaofeng Pavilion.In Tang Zhen's generation, there are a total of eighteen sons, one for each family.But Tang Xiong, the sixth son, Tang Yan, the seventeenth son, and Tang Zhen, the eighteenth son, did not choose any members.

Of the two sons of Tang Xiong's family, one died before Tang Ling'er chose someone, and the remaining son inherited the title of earl, and this young uncle has been in poor health, so of course he can't recommend himself. run errands.

In the house of the seventeenth son Tang Yan, the eldest son Tang Xiao has become the co-organizer of the big factory, and the second son is too young, so he didn't come.

This is especially true in Tang Zhen's family. It is impossible for Tang Bo, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, to come to run errands, and the second son, Tang Kaiguang, was born just this year.

The three elders Tang Jiong, Tang Li, and Tang Xun heard that Xiaofeng Pavilion cultivated talents, and the three of them each sent a grandson.The result is like this, enough eighteen people.

The 18 of them replaced Tang Ling'er every day to inspect the Tang family's various industries outside the city, such as farmland, docks, papermaking, jade mines, iron mines, and so on.The eighteen nephews often travel far to purchase cheap raw materials or fine silk fabrics, exquisite pottery, etc. all over the country.

People in China are happy to give people nicknames, and there is an old saying in the alley: No one can stand without a nickname.

Because the eighteen nephews are more and more involved in family economic affairs and are widely known, people nicknamed them "Eighteen Calling Donkeys" according to their personalities.

In fact, under such a nickname, someone must have been wronged.

Perhaps there are only a few of them who have a particularly loud voice and like to make noise, but because of their domineering personality and attracting attention, they are defined as "collective personality".

Tang Hua, the "son" of Tang Jian's concubine, the fifth son of the Tang family. Since Tang Jian's downfall, Tang Hua is the only one in the five sons' mansion who looks like a man. "He" is also one of the "Eighteen Calling Donkeys", but "he" is not loud, and he is very quiet and loves to laugh.

Obviously this nickname does not match "him".

From Su Yu's point of view, Tang Hua was more like Jia Baoyu's personality, but unfortunately "he" was a concubine, so it was impossible for him to have Jia Baoyu's family status.Compared with Tang Xuan, the eldest son of the Tang Jian family who won the title of earl, there is a big gap.As long as the eldest son doesn't cause trouble, he is good, but Tang Hua must work hard to make progress.
