Poor Family Chapter 648

Chapter 648 Supporting old friends

At this time, Tang Yuaner walked in slowly with a pot of tea. She had just finished confinement and was still relatively weak. Wang Gui quickly stepped forward to take the tea pot and complained to her, "Go back to the room to rest, just let the servant girl come." Already!"

Tang Yuan'er smiled, "I don't care about others, Lao Li is a distinguished guest, I dare not neglect!"

Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing, "Ah Yuan, you just say that, you still don't know my old background, what kind of honored guest am I in front of you two?"

"If I used to be too lazy to pour you tea, now! It's different. I dare not offend Agui's boss."

Tang Yuan'er smiled and poured a cup of strong tea for Li Yanqing, "But I am still very grateful to you, you never take Agui to the place of fireworks, unlike some people who want to drink flower wine by themselves and encourage Go to my family, Agui."

Li Yanqing laughed dumbfounded. It seemed that Niu Gao had offended Madam Tang, so he also joked, "I said, Ah Yuan, should you consider taking a concubine for Agui?"

Wang Gui was so frightened that his face turned pale. Standing behind his wife, he hurriedly waved his hands to Li Yanqing, but Tang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you can take a concubine, but you must be able to afford it. How much salary can a small commander get?" , Even if I have the heart, he doesn't have the ability."

"Oh? So what level does Agui have to be qualified to take a concubine?"

Tang Yuaner rolled her eyes, "I see that at least I must go to the commander!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "This request is not high, it will only take two or three years."

Tang Yuan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Since Lao Li wants my Agui to take a concubine sooner, then I have to help him!"

Li Yanqing laughed loudly, "I understand, Ah Yuan, don't worry! I will definitely let Ah Gui get his wish sooner."

Wang Gui rolled his eyes, what does it mean to let oneself get his wish sooner, the one in Taiyuan is already pregnant with Liujia, how long can it be delayed?

Tang Yuaner put down the teapot and turned away, Wang Gui quickly helped her out, "It's slippery in the yard, be careful!"

Walking out of the room, Tang Yuaner looked at her husband with a smile that was not a smile, "Look at you, did what Lao Li said reach your heart?"

"He was joking, how could I have such an idea, besides, how can it be so easy to promote the commander?"

Tang Yuan'er stuck out her finger and poked him **** the forehead, "He said he didn't have such an idea, don't dream, even if you become a captain, you don't want to take a concubine!"

Wang Gui secretly scolded Li Yanqing for being troublesome, that matter can only be explained slowly, and it will come to fruition, and now Li Yanqing shakes it out, isn't it self-defeating, Wang Gui had no choice but to say no, and helped his wife back to the room.

"Old Li! Don't play around with this kind of joke in the future, it will affect the relationship between husband and wife."

"Fuck you!" Li Yanqing gave Wang Gui a look of contempt, "Don't pretend to be in front of me, you boy, what about that singing girl in Taiyuan? She's already pregnant with your child, how long do you want to delay?" Stretch out your head with a knife, retract your head with a knife, just say it earlier, Ah Yuan is not an unreasonable person, could it be that she really won't let your child in?"

"Then what do I say?"

"So I asked you to change the house. The house is bigger. There are two yards in the back house. At least in terms of living conditions, everyone can see out of sight and out of mind. Now, if you bring up your yard, Ah Yuan will definitely Will you worry about where they live? Changing houses will reduce a lot of resistance, you kid, use your brain, okay?"

Wang Gui mumbled after a while, "Okay!"

"Don't bother about this matter, transfer your yard to Baoyanzhai, and I will arrange an official residence for you in Jingzhao Mansion. After the spring, Ah Yuan, Yunniang and the others will go to Jingzhao Mansion together."

Wang Gui was overjoyed, "Has it been decided for me to go to Jingzhao Mansion?"

"I told the old man, and he promised to tell Gao Tongzhi about it. It's a piece of cake for Gao Tongzhi. Although you are not the general commander for the time being, I will let you act as the general commander. You and Niu Gao are responsible for the recruits."

Wang Gui sighed, "My biggest worry is Xingniang. If she can come in, I really don't have to worry about the future. I'm afraid that Ah Yuan will be overwhelmed! I only told her when she was pregnant."

Li Yanqing blinked and smiled: "I will find a suitable person to persuade Ah Yuan!"

While talking, the servant said in the courtyard: "Officer, the guest is here!"

Tang Huai didn't expect to meet Li Yanqing at Wang Gui's house. He was a little embarrassed when they met, but Li Yanqing's enthusiasm and Wang Gui's gag quickly made the embarrassment disappear. When they had a drink, they finally found the old feeling.

"I still remember the way Lao Tang drank deer blood, and when he saw the woman next to him, his eyes were dazzled."

"Go! I hate the mention of that deer blood. If I hadn't drank that deer blood, I would still be on a blind date. There would be a hasty marriage."

Tang Huai's words made Li Yanqing and Wang Gui laugh out loud. Although the past has passed for many years, it seems that it happened just yesterday, and the memories are so beautiful.

But Tang Huai's current situation is very bad. He has been loyally following Tong Guan, but in the end he was betrayed by Tong Guan, taking on the responsibilities that should not have been borne by him, being removed from all official positions, and staying at home.

Although Li Yanqing once asked Yue Fei to send a strange stone to his father, this kind of hint made Tang Huai's heart flutter, but he felt very guilty. When he followed Tong Guan, he completely forgot the existence of Li Yanqing, and even they were in Yunzhou He didn't go to say hello to Li Yanqing either.

It's just that Tang Huai didn't expect to meet Li Yanqing in the capital.

"Old Tang, what are your plans for the future?" Li Yanqing held the wine glass and stared at Tang Huai with clear eyes.

"I?"

Tang Huai shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know either, let's start some business first! My father gave me 10,000 guan, and I'll see what the capital can do."

"Or follow me to Jingzhao!" Li Yanqing smiled slightly.

"This. This is still counted! I don't want to trouble you."

"Old Tang!" Wang Gui slapped the table, he was a little anxious, "What is trouble, we are brothers, is it that Lao Li is perfunctory for you?"

Tang Huai quickly shook his head, "That's not what I meant. My official position has been wiped out, and I don't even have an official rank. What can I do in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"You can be my military staff. I will appoint you to be in charge of the military affairs of the recruits, and train the recruits with Agui and Niu Gao. When the time is right, I will make you a commander. You should be able to return to your post."

Of course Tang Huai knew that his promotion was different from that of ordinary soldiers. He had already achieved the rank of Lieutenant of Zhenwei. He was willing to give him this chance. Originally, Tong Guan could recommend him to Guo Yaoshi or Yao Pingzhong, but Tong Guan didn't care about his life at all, which made him feel chilled. Now his childhood friend Li Yanqing is willing to give him this opportunity. How could he not be moved?

"Yanqing, I used to."

"Stop! Stop!"

Li Yanqing hastily interrupted Tang Huai's words of gratitude, "I can't stand that kind of nasty lyricism, and don't call me Yanqing, I don't have this kind of friendship with you, and the two pennies you owe me are still owed." Didn't give it?"

Tang Huai was taken aback, "When?"

"After the child prodigy competition, you took my book "The Great Sage Hunting Monsters" to Lushan Academy to sell, and after the deal was settled, I would share 30% of it. Did you give it in the end? And you, you kid also owe me two money. "

After Li Yanqing finished speaking, the three burst out laughing.

The childhood friendship made Tang Huai's last grievance finally disappear, and he also laughed heartily, sweeping away the haze of being dismissed from office.

"Old Tang, I really need your help with something!" Li Yanqing poured a glass of wine for Tang Huai.

"Is there anything you can't do?" Tang Huai drank a lot of wine, he took out a small folding fan from his waist, and swayed it gently. This is a habit he has developed since childhood, and he still can't change it.

"This matter really needs your help!"

Li Yanqing glanced at Wang Gui, who was blushing, and whispered something to Tang Huai.

Tang Huai's expression changed, and he glared at Wang Gui viciously, "Is it true that you are raising another housewife outside?"

Wang Gui's face was filled with embarrassment, he didn't know how to answer, Li Yanqing quickly smoothed things over and said: "Ah Gui already knew he was wrong, how to punish him later is up to Ah Yuan, but since the other party is pregnant, I guess Agui's father and grandfather are also very happy, so you have to persuade Ayuan about this matter, she listened to you since she was a child, and you are the only one who can persuade her?"

"Where did she hear me when she was a child, Lao Li, stop putting money on my face?"

Tang Huai was really depressed. Although it was annoying that Wang Gui raised a woman outside, he had to face the reality. The woman was pregnant with Wang Gui's child. Wang Gui's grandfather and parents must be very happy, especially Wang Wanhao Believe in the prosperity of descendants, they will definitely recognize the identity of the woman.

If my younger sister refuses to accept it life and death, things will be troublesome, and if the trouble is brought to the elders of both parties, it will probably lead to the breakdown of the marriage, and that must be unbearable for Tang Yuaner.

I still have to persuade my younger sister to accept this woman as a concubine. Lao Li is right, this matter really can only be done by himself.

Tang Huai glared at Wang Gui again, "For Lao Li's sake this time, let me help you persuade her. Next time you dare to mess around, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Li Yanqing kicked Wang Gui from below, and Wang Gui hurriedly filled Tang Huai with wine, "I was wrong this time, I promise there will be no next time!"

Tang Huai said to Li Yanqing again: "Although my younger sister has a sharp mouth and a bean heart, but this matter needs to be persuaded to her, and the right time can be found. Otherwise, even if she is wronged and agrees, this kid will suffer a lot in the future."

Li Yanqing nodded with a smile, "I've thought about it for Agui. Later, I will arrange for him a five-acre official residence in Jingzhao Mansion, and let him temporarily act as the commander of the capital. Ayuan must be very happy. Let her pick it up on the spur of the moment, and she will be less resistant."

"Your friend is too kind!"

Tang Huai shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm not saying that Agui can't marry a concubine, in fact, his behavior of beheading first and playing later is too bad, the other party is pregnant, and his wife doesn't know it, no one can stand it, he should be cruel He is being punished, but you are covering him in every possible way, Lao Li, do you know that you are hurting him?"

Li Yanqing also said with a smile: "I'm just afraid that there will be problems in Agui's marriage? It will hurt Ayuan even more. Besides, Agui is not the kind of person who spends time and money. If Fatty Zheng does this kind of thing, I will help him." he?"

Tang Huai nodded, "Everything you say is reasonable, okay! Then when will I put this matter aside, Agui, tell me?"

Wang Gui lowered his head and thought for a while, "It's best during the New Year! Xingniang is alone in Taiyuan, so I don't worry."

"Then you have to be mentally prepared to have a bad year!"

Wang Gui nodded silently, "I understand."

The three drank a few more glasses of wine before going home.

On New Year's Eve, the capital is extremely lively. Although the wind is cold and the ground is covered with thick snow, there are still people coming and going on the street. From time to time, a bullock cart or a donkey cart pulling goods rush by, splashing muddy water all over the place. .

Li Yanqing walked aimlessly on the street, he liked this feeling very much, relaxed and at ease, enjoying the atmosphere of the New Year.

"Officials! Officials!"

There was a woman's voice from behind, but Li Yanqing didn't pay attention to it. When he suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar, he realized that the person behind him was calling him. He turned his head quickly, and saw a brightly dressed woman waving to him at a dozen steps away. .

Li Yanqing laughed, and he walked towards her, "Miss Sun, long time no see."

Mrs. Sun rolled his eyes at him, and said in a soft voice: "You forgot about my family!"

Li Yanqing didn't dare to provoke this prickly woman, he quickly changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Why are you here, big lady?"

As soon as he said it, he knew he was wrong. Isn't Baoyanzhai's Daxiangguosi branch across the street? Li Yanqing patted his forehead and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I'm thinking about something in my heart, and I'm a little confused, don't blame my lady!"

"Hmph! If the proprietor hears this, he has to jump his feet. He has forgotten about his own shop."

"Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, is the store still closed?"

"Today is the last day, and it will be closed in the afternoon. There are not many customers in the store. Let the officials sit down! Have a cup of hot tea."

Li Yanqing nodded, followed Mrs. Sun to Baoyanzhai shop.
