Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

And where is the daughter at this moment, and who was caught?

At this time, everyone here looks very ordinary in a small courtyard.

The courtyard is made of blue bricks, and there are three rooms in total. As far as its format is concerned, it is like an ordinary household in Datong City.

However, squeezed among a large number of houses made of loess, it looks magnificent.

In fact, this is a town that does not look small. If you stand on the roof, you can see that there are continuous houses with at least a hundred families.The villages in the north are large in scale, and it is not uncommon for a village to have thousands of people.

The sun rose into the sky early, and the mist was as indifferent as smoke. In the dimness, the persimmon trees on the side of the road were sprouting new green in the yard, and the air was filled with the smell of green grass and cooking smoke.It was supposed to be a quiet morning, but the village was bustling with activity. The streets and alleys were full of peasants carrying farm tools, talking and laughing as they went out to farm.For a while, the narrow streets seemed a bit crowded, which also destroyed the faintly idyllic scenery.

Gong Gui was awakened by the commotion, in fact, such a commotion was no stranger to him.This has always been the case here since the Thousand Households resettled thousands of refugees at once more than two months ago.

After the newly-appointed Shanxi Xingdu Si Dusi, Mr. Xie, came to Datong, he didn't know what was wrong, and he even accommodated the refugees who fled Datong and placed them in various households, saying that he wanted to reclaim wasteland to compensate the guards to feed the refugees. expenditure.

Just kidding, reclaiming wasteland is so easy.It grows in one year and grows in two years. The land will not be slightly fertile until the third year, and only then can some output be seen.But to feed these more than 1000 people, it is necessary to scatter a lot of food.

From this point of view, this business is slow to take effect.

However, even if you don't want to, there is nothing you can do.Although the son-in-law is a master of a thousand households, he is also a big role in this lonely shop where the ground trembles when he coughs, but compared with Mr. Xie, he is like a sesame mung bean, not worth mentioning.

Mr. Xie, who is the master of Shanxi, the commander of Shanxi, who is in charge of the entire Shanxi army.

From Gong Gui's point of view, it is simply high in the sky.

How dare the son-in-law agree to the military order?

In order to support these more than 1000 refugees, although a lot of cotton cloth and millet were allocated from the top, there are too many people, and the salary is not enough.

As far as Gong Gui knows, Wang Qianhu has been destitute for the past two months. Not only has the millet in the warehouse been eaten by so many people, but even the savings accumulated over the years have been thrown into the warehouse. in the black hole.

Gong Gui doesn't care how his son-in-law's life is going.It's just that Wang Lian, a bird man, has no money at hand, so it's not so generous to support his old father-in-law.

If it was in previous years, he and his son would lie at home all day and do nothing, and they would receive six taels of silver every month. This amount of money would be enough for an ordinary family to live for half a year.In the past two years, Gong Gui only felt that he had inexhaustible money, and his life was very nourishing.

Not to mention this, the key point is that he is the father-in-law of Master Qianhu, not to mention other places, at least he can walk sideways in the Gudian Qianhu Office.When others saw him, they had to respectfully call out "Master Gong". As a farmer, Gong Gui was already very satisfied with being able to have the scenery he has today.

But since the refugees were resettled in the Thousand Households, things have changed.First of all, the son-in-law has no money, and the monthly six taels of filial piety has become one tael.This little money is useless, it's not enough for me to drink two big wines!

I went to ask my son-in-law for help, but Wang Qianhu seemed to be in serious trouble. I heard that the new Dusi Xie was very dissatisfied with Wang Lian. down.

The most troublesome thing is that my daughter, Mei Niang, was also thanked by Mr. Xie Ziran, and she was put in prison, saying that she was going to be sentenced to death.

After Mei Niang was imprisoned, Wang Qianhu saw Tianchao running in the city of Datong, and scattered a lot of money, trying to rescue her from prison.These two months have passed, and the money thrown out is not one thousand, there is always eight hundred, but people are still locked in the city.

Sitting in the courtyard with a teacup in hand, Gong Gui let out a long breath of strong tea, with a sneer on his face: "Throwing so much money out, it's better to give this old man a drink to make me happier. It's all right now, the money is gone, and no one has been rescued, this Wang Lian is just an idiot, his brain is broken."

That's right, this person is Mei Niang's father, Gong Gui.

"His thousand households are hereditary. He has been used to it since he was a child. He is not as clear as an old man like me. What is the identity of the old man surnamed Xie? How could he want to kill Mei Niang, a weak woman? He is aiming at it." You, Wang Lian, are here. I guess you, an idiot, didn’t hear about it, or you violated other people’s taboos. The new official took office three times. This is to show you off! In my opinion, Mr. Xie wants you to move your seat, probably It's his people who are eyeing your Qianhu throne. Huh, otherwise, why did you send another deputy Qianhu surnamed Ban to replace you. If I were you, I might as well find a way to get a lot of money first. Let’s see if we can find a way to go up there, at worst, we’ll be transferred out of Datong and become an official in another place. As soon as you leave, Meiniang will naturally be released.”

In fact, Gonggui can understand it in the past two months.Ever since that man called Ban Jianhou was transferred to be the Deputy Qianhu, Wang Lian was completely emptied. Up to now, the people in the prison only know that there is Ban Qianhu, but they don't know who Wang Qianhu is.

Not only that, but when the squad deputy Qianhu came, he transferred all thirty of Wang Lian's soldiers and placed them in the new army that Mr. Xie was climbing on the white mountain.

Up to now, Wang Lian has no money and no one, just a bachelor.

"This idiot!" Gong Gui shook his head, thinking: "Master Xie probably won't do anything to Meiniang, but Wang Qianhu doesn't seem to be able to make it. If my father and son follow him, it seems that they will It's not interesting, you have to think of another way."

Thinking of this, he stroked the goatee on his pointed chin, and rolled his eyes: "Wang Lian is a scumbag, he can't count on it, maybe he will be demoted to an ordinary man after a while." A military household. It doesn’t make any sense for Mei Niang to follow him again. Why don’t you marry someone else? Over the years, Mei Niang has become famous outside, so you don’t need to be a regular wife. But if you are a concubine for a thousand military officers There are still people who are willing. At that time, my father and son will have enough food and clothing. Hey, it seems that Qianhu, the deputy of the class, is not married, I wonder if he is willing or not?"

Thinking of this, Gong Gui began to calculate in his heart.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea: "Mei Niang is still locked in the cell, and it is estimated that she will not be released until Wang Lian's complete downfall. Besides, the squad deputy Qianhu has never seen Mei Niang, besides, Mei Niang seems to be older than the class deputy Qianhu, and she has been married twice. She has a bright future, so she may not be willing to take this second-hand product. The young and respectable master Qianhu really wants to get married. for selection."

Thinking that Wang Lian was about to lose power, the good son-in-law in Gong Gui's mind also became "this guy."

"Girl Huang Hua, hey, why did I forget about my daughter, haha, although I am old, I can give you my thoughts!"

Gong Gui regained his energy, put the teacup on the table, walked to the west side of the room, patted the door with his hands, and forced out a smile: "My dear grandson, you're up now, Grandpa has something to say to you."

After speaking, he tore a key from his waist, opened the door and walked in.

The room was very dark, and he also stood at the door before his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness inside.

It seemed to light up suddenly in front of my eyes, but I saw a slender woman sitting on a chair by the bed, looking with crystal clear and sharp eyes.

This woman's facial features are graceful and dignified, her lips are red and her teeth are white. Although she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, she has a kind of beauty that people cannot look at.Not only that, but she also carries a kind of majesty that makes people feel uneasy.If it's not a girl, who is it?

Seeing Nannan's gaze, for some reason, Gong Gui's heart suddenly shuddered, and he couldn't help taking a step back, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.

I haven't seen you for a few years, and this little girl has grown into an adult.The aura on this body...why is it a little scary...

While Gong Gui was terrified, he was immediately ashamed and annoyed: How could the reason why grandpa is afraid of his granddaughter turn against you in the future?

With a snort, Gong Gui recalled his reason for coming today, put on a smile on his face, walked up to Nannan, and said, "Good granddaughter, does your throat still hurt?"

"Yes." Nannai nodded lightly, and a hoarse voice came out of her throat.

"Can't talk yet? I must have caught a cold. Hey, you are so sick, and grandpa is feeling very uncomfortable." Gong Gui forced a trace of sadness on his face: "Your mother is still delayed, so I can't come to see you." .Grandpa knows that you miss your mother, and if you hold back for a few days, she will come to see you. As long as you don't bother, our family will be reunited."

Hearing the words "one family", the girl's face showed deep disgust, and thinking of her mother whom she hadn't seen for several years, her eyes turned red.

Gong Gui hypocritically comforted: "Yes, yes, as long as you don't make trouble anymore, you can talk about anything. Now that you are so sick and can't talk, if you continue to find trouble for nothing, it will be bad for your health."

Nannan suddenly yelled angrily: She stretched out her hand and wrote a line on the table.

It's a pity that Gong Gui is illiterate and can't read.

Seeing the bewildered expression on this man named Grandpa, Nannan unconsciously shook her head, and stretched out her hand to wipe off the words on it.

That line is exactly: "You have made my voice hoarse with poison, do you really think I don't know?"

Why do you have to pretend to say something, is it useful, what do you want to do?

However, the viciousness of my grandfather and uncle must be against me.

Thinking of this, Nannan's heart hangs in her throat.

Sure enough, Gong Gui pretended to say a few words, then said with a smile: "Nannan, you are half-grown, and you have grown into a big girl, and it's time to talk about marriage. Grandpa told you about a marriage. But it’s a great fortune. If it succeeds, you will have a lot of food and drink in this life, and you will never be able to benefit from it.”

Nannan's complexion changed.
