Chapter 78
When he went there to visit me, Lu Qi was very understanding and took the initiative to go to his brother's house, saying that he should go to see his sister-in-law, and he could speak casually at home. Zhou Yunqi hesitated and nodded. Lu Qi called for a car to go to his brother's house together.
What surprised the Lu brothers was that the inner brother actually lived in Nancheng District, and it was Jixiangfang. The three brothers talked in the car, but they sighed at the impermanence of the world.
Zhou Yunqi was indeed unsatisfied in the capital, and even regretted becoming an official in the capital. The prosperity of the capital was a nightmare for him. His ninth-rank official salary was simply not enough to spend on his life in the capital.
He was not good at engaging in the camp and was unwilling to be shameless and ask for the grace of the Zhou family's powerful people. He had never asked for it, but he had not taken care of him. After he had been there, he was unwilling to go there and embarrass him. He had no shame to abandon his official position and returned to his hometown.
When he got to Zhou Yunqi's house, when he got off the bus, Lu Qi knew that Zhou Yunqi's house was rented, otherwise he would not have lived in poverty. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a lot of drying clothes, and a woman and two girls were washing clothes. When he saw the Lu brothers, the three girls stood up in shock.
"Yunniang, look at the one coming. It's brother-in-law and brother-in-law's younger brother-in-law." Zhou Yunqi introduced happily. The narration in the car made him feel miserable. He was really happy about the arrival of his relatives.
The Lu brothers politely said, "Greetings to my sister-in-law."
"Ah, the two brothers are here." Zhou Yunqi's wife responded in a daze.
"Yunniang, don't be afraid. This is my own family. If you go out to prepare some wine and food, I will talk to you well." Zhou Yunqi said in a harmonious voice.
Yunniang nodded and said softly: "Two brothers, please enter the house."
After Lu Tianhua gave a gift, Lu Qi reached into his arms and took two ten taels of silver treasures and a five hundred taels of silver notes, and stepped forward and said in a harmonious voice: "Sister-in-law, Xiao Qi is a military officer. I don't like it. This is my brother's gift. Please accept it."
Yunniang is a beautiful woman. When she saw the money she sent, she immediately took a step back and waved her hand and said anxiously: "No, this is not OK."
"What? Sister-in-law is disgusting Xiaoqi's politeness?" Lu Qi immediately said with a heavy face.
"No, brother, don't get me wrong." Yunniang shook her head in shock and explained.
"Then please take it with my sister-in-law." Lu Qi said with a heart of his hand, and he stuffed the silver half into Yunniang's hand, then stepped to the main house, Lu Tianhua followed him.
"Dalang, this..." Yunniang hurriedly walked to Zhou Yunqi and picked up the silver and notes.
Zhou Yunqi glanced at him, his expression changed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said in harmony: "This is my brother's wish. Go outside to buy some good wine and food and come back soon."
Yunniang stopped talking and nodded. Zhou Yunqi turned around and went to the main house. The three of them left the seat when they entered the house. Zhou Yunqi looked at Lu Qi and said in a harmonious voice: "The 7th brother's courtesy is too heavy."
Lu Qi smiled and said in harmony: "Is it heavy? I don't have much money, but with my sister-in-law's loyalty to the Lu family, I can't bear to pay even tens of taels of silver."
Zhou Yunqi was stunned, then nodded silently, and after a moment of silence, Lu Qi said in harmony: "This year, brother, let's go back to his hometown to have a look."
Zhou Yunqi looked up at Lu Qi, looked at him for a few seconds before smiling bitterly: "Seventh brother, you already know, it's not easy for me to go back."
Lu Qi nodded and said in a harmonious voice: "I know it's not easy. I will borrow three thousand silver to my eldest brother. When I have time, I will protect my eldest brother and go back to my hometown."
Zhou Yunqi stared at Lu Qi, and Lu Qi said in harmony: "I can see that Uncle Zhou misses his eldest brother very much, so I am willing to lend him money to his eldest brother and return to his hometown to comfort the two elders' hearts. The eldest brother doesn't have to worry about not being able to do it in the future. If he doesn't do it, it's my wedding ceremony to my two nieces."
Zhou Yunqi turned his head and looked out the door. His face was desolate and bitter, and there was tears in his eyes. He suddenly said in a low voice: "Thank you."
"Okay, say something else. Do you know Zhou Zhengfeng?" Lu Qi asked in a harmonious voice.
Zhou Yunqi turned to Lu Qi in surprise and said in surprise: "What? Do you have anything to do with Zhou Zhengfeng?"
Lu Qi shook his head and smiled lightly, "Brother should know the bandit suppression army. I now belong to the bandit suppression army."
Zhou Yunqi nodded and said in a harmonious voice: "Zhou Zhengfeng is the commander of the bandit suppression, but Zhou Zhengfeng is not a good person. If you belong to him, you must act cautiously."
Lu Qi nodded, and Zhou Yunqi asked in harmony again: "Aren't you a lieutenant of Shida County's guardian army? How could you join the bandit suppression army?"
Lu Qi smiled and recounted his experience in coming to Beijing in harmony. Zhou Yunqi frowned and said in harmony: "You are the commander of the Yong Prince's Mansion, but that's not good. The Yong Prince's Mansion has always been a taboo for His Majesty the Emperor."
"I know that." Lu Qi responded in harmony.
"Ah, Seventh Brother, you are Qianniuwei." Zhou Yunqi suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Lu Qi and said.
Lu Qi smiled and said again about the prince's grace. Finally, he smiled and said, "Brother, see if I have become a slave of the three surnames."
Zhou Yunqi was stunned and shook his head and said, "Brothers can't be so self-evident. The situation of brothers is not uncommon in Tang State. Most of the officials in Tang State have complex background relationships. Only small officials like me are single, but they cannot get the great use of Zhou."
Lu Qi nodded and said in a harmonious voice: "Brother, I have limited abilities at the moment and can't help my elder brother. I can only endure it for a few more years and take care of each other with my elder brother in the capital."
Lu Tianhua was stunned and said in surprise: "Brother, will I be in the capital?"
Lu Qi said in harmony: "The chances of my brother staying in Beijing in the future will be 70%, because I heard a noble man say that after I suppressed bandits, I will go to the place to be a town general. If I become a town general, my brother will be kept in Beijing as an official."
Lu Tianhua nodded in surprise and said in a harmonious voice: "You will become a general, where will you go?"
Lu Qi smiled bitterly and said in a harmonious voice: "I want to go back to Shida County, but it is difficult to go back again. That is also the thing I most reluctant to accept when I come to Beijing."
Lu Tianhua nodded, thought for a while, and said in harmony: "I may not be able to stay in Beijing as an official."
"If the seventh brother is released and becomes the general of the capital, brother-in-law, you will definitely stay in Beijing as an official. Just like me, I stay in the capital, Yunhua is in the army for the general, and the seventh brother is going to be the general. If you don't stay in Beijing, Aunt Lu will have to come to Beijing to live. This is the rule that the court must follow in the military officers of the only town." Zhou Yunqi explained in a harmonious voice.
Lu Tianhua said oh, and Lu Qi said in harmony: "Brother, I have discussed with a noble man and want to build a pharmacy in the capital. Then, my brother will be in charge."
Lu Tianhua was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Our original plan was for brothers to join the army."
Lu Qi shook his head and said in a harmonious voice: "I thought about it too, but I didn't expect that I could become a battalion general when I came to the capital. My original plan was to return to the Xinghua Army. When I returned to the Xinghua Army, I could only be the chief escort military officer."
Lu Tianhua nodded, and Zhou Yunqi suddenly said, "Seventh brother, will you go to Ningguo Army as a general in the future?"
Lu Qi was stunned and said in surprise: "Ning Guojun? How is that possible?"
"It is also possible that His Highness the Crown Prince is the governor of Ningguo Army." Zhou Yunqi said in a harmonious voice.
"What? Your Highness the Crown Prince is the governor of Ningguo Army?" Lu Qi lost his voice in surprise.
Zhou Yunqi nodded and said in a harmonious voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, but he is just a remote leader and cannot command the Ningguo army. Moreover, Your Highness the Crown Prince is also a general who is the left and right Longwu Guard, but he is also a virtual power. The real power is the General of the Central Army."
Lu Qi nodded and said in a harmonious voice: "Since it is the position of Xu Zheng, then the Crown Prince cannot use me to Ningguo Army."
"That's right, but His Highness the Crown Prince is getting older and he is said to have a lot of ideas. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely want to truly command the Ningguo Army. Just like you are given the Qianniu Guard Officer, you can also find a way to transfer you to the Ningguo Army and become the head general of the battalion." Zhou Yunqi said in a harmonious voice.
Lu Qi's face changed slightly and he said in a harmonious voice: "If it really happens, then I will be in trouble. Why not be a general in the town?"
