Chapter 11 The 10th Provincial Mother Uncle Bao Returns to Hometown to Give Gifts to Tang Bi to Celebrate His Birthday

Shubao said: "Sage, since your husband died, the widows left behind are orphans."I wish I could learn from Han Xin and repay Piaomu with a thousand pieces of gold.Today Quan is rewarded with a hundred gold to talk about great virtues.Even if he took the silver as a gift, Liu's gratitude was endless, so Shubao went out and mounted his horse to Erxianzhuang. When Shan Xiongxin heard the news, Shubao returned to Luzhou, and he was overjoyed and said, "Forgive him for coming to see me."Order to prepare wine and wait by the door.Besides, due to lack of horsepower, Shubao walked slowly, and he didn't arrive at the village until the moon went up Dongshan.Xiongxin heard the neighing of the horse in the forest, and said loudly: But brother Shubao is here?Shubao said: "It's Qin Qiong, who is here to thank you."Xiongxin laughed loudly and said: "It's really an old friend from a thousand miles away!"The two went up to the hall hand in hand, exuberantly excited, and bowed to each other.The family set up a banquet, and the two sat down and drank heartily, each getting drunk.Xiongxin put down the cup and said: "Forgive me for not being able to postpone the reception today, I intend to drive away the guests. After drinking the cup, I will go brother."Shubao said, "Why is this?"Xiongdao: Since my brother went to Yanshan two years ago, there are thirteen letters from my aunt Lingtang.The first twelve letters were written by Lingtang, and the younger brother was so sweet that he wrote back to comfort him.Only the thirteenth book this month was not written by Ling Tang, but by Ling Zheng.The book said that Lingtang was sick and could not repair the book, so the younger brother asked brother to go back quickly and meet Lingtang, with the love of mother and child.

Hearing this, Shubao burst into tears and said, "Second brother Shan, if you wait like this, I will never tolerate it."It's just that when Yanshan came, the horse was broken, the distance was far away, and the heart was anxious and the horse was too late. How could life be better?Xiongdao said, "Don't tell me, brother, I forgot. Since my brother left, the Luzhou government sold his yellow pussy horse. The younger brother used thirty taels of silver to put it in the treasury. He bought it back to the humble house and returned it to his elder brother."He asked his subordinates to bring out Lord Qin's yellow puma, and his subordinates promised, and in a short while, he led it out.When the horse saw its old master, it screamed and jumped wildly, just like people said.Xiongxin hung Xiangri's saddle and bridle on the horse again, and then put the luggage on his back.Shubao bid farewell, got up overnight, went out of the village and mounted his horse, bridle and whip, like chasing electricity and wind, very quickly.

When he arrived in Jinan, Shubao galloped into the city, went to his back door, jumped off his horse, led the horse with one hand, knocked on the door with the other, and shouted: "Lady, how is my mother?"I'm back.When Mrs. Zhang heard her husband come back, she hurried to open the door and said, "My mother-in-law is not well yet."Shu Bao came in with his horse, Mrs. Zhang closed the door, and Shu Bao tied the horse to meet his wife.Zhang said: "My mother-in-law just took medicine and fell asleep. She is very weak. You can go in slowly."Shubao tiptoed into his mother's bedroom, and leaned down beside the bed, seeing his mother facing inward, with only a thin line of breath, her arms and body, like dry wood.Shubao was just in front of the bed, calling in a low voice: Mom, wake up!The mother wandered back slowly, her body was heavy, she couldn't turn over, she faced the bed, as if in a dream, she called: "Daughter-in-law!"Zhang said: "My daughter-in-law is here!"Qin's mother said: I just slept for a while, and I only heard your husband babbling and calling me in front of the bed. I think he is already a person under the spring, a wandering soul from thousands of miles away, and came home to see my mother.Zhang said: "Grandma, your son is back and kneeling here."Shubao said, "Taipinglang is back."

Qin's mother was not seriously ill, because she missed her son.Think like this.Suddenly hearing that his son came back, half of his illness was cured, he quickly got up, sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Shubao's hand, and burst into tears.But she couldn't cry, she opened her mouth wide and just shouted.Shubao kowtowed to his mother, who said, "Don't worship me, but your wife."You have been away for three years, if your daughter-in-law hadn't been able to do her best, I would have been dead for a long time, and I wouldn't be able to see you.Shubao obeyed his mother's order, turned around and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhang, who knelt down and bowed four times.Qin's mother asked: "What are you doing outside, and you haven't come back until now?"Shubao sent Luzhou Mansion Dianpei to Yanshan far away, and had to meet uncles and aunts. Let me explain in detail what happened before and after.Qin's mother said, "what is my uncle's official position?"Has my aunt ever had a child?Shubao said: "Uncle is the generalissimo of Youzhou, guarding Yanshan Mountain."My aunt has given birth to a cousin, Luo Cheng, who is fourteen years old this year.Mother Qin was overjoyed.He also said how to repay Shan Xiongxin's great kindness?On the next day, Fan Hu and other friends came to visit. Shu Bao greeted them and expressed their farewell feelings.

Shubao took Luo Gong's letter of recommendation, opened a manual for himself, dressed up in military uniform, and brought two golden irons, and submitted a letter to Tang Bishuai's mansion.This Tang Bi was from Jiangdu. Because of his meritorious service, he was officially worshiped by the third division of Yitong in the Gongfu of Huangxian County, Daxingtai in Shandong Province and Jiedu Envoy in Jeju.Shubao put the documents in, and Tang Bi read Luo Gong's recommendation and Qin Qiong's manuscript, and asked Qin Qiong to come up.Shubao agreed, and knelt down on the platform.Tang Bi looked up and saw that Qin Qiong was eight feet tall, holding two golden irons in his hands, with a dignified figure, a dignified appearance, and an invincible majesty.Tang Bi was overjoyed, and said to Qin Qiong: "The generals and officials in my yamen are all rewarded for their merits.Now I have the right to make you an actual flag officer, and you will be rewarded for your merits in the future.Qin Qiong thanked him.Tang Bi ordered the Chinese army to furnish Qin Qiong with official uniforms, beat drums and close the door.When Qin Qiong came home, there were more than 20 soldiers in the battalion, each with a notebook, and knocked on Master Qin at the gate of the house.

Although Shubao is the banner official, Tang Bi treats him as a guest of honor and looks at him differently.Four months later, in the middle of winter, Tang Bi called Qin Qiong to the back hall and said: "You are under the bid, and you have been an official for four months, and you have never been reused."On the 15th day of the first lunar month of the coming year, Lord Yang of Chang'an Yue State will celebrate his 60th birthday, and now he wants to send officials to give gifts to celebrate his birthday.Due to the chaos in the world, thieves and thieves are proliferating, and they are afraid of getting lost on the road.I know you have the courage to be a part-time person, and you can take up this position. Are you willing to go?Shubao said: "If you raise soldiers for thousands of days and use them in one dynasty, how can a villain have any reason not to go?"Tang Bi was overjoyed, and asked his family to bring out the rolling box, and took another red felt bag and a gift list.Tang Bi opened the box, checked it according to the list, paid Qin Qiong six colors, and opened it:

There are ten sets of clothes in five colors of first-class gold rings; a circle of exquisite white jade belts; twenty night pearls; two thousand taels of gold horseshoes; It is said that Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, is a Turkic Khan, and he is not a relative of the emperor. How can he congratulate him with his birthday?Here is a reason: because of his great military exploits in the Sui Dynasty, he was given the surname Yang by the emperor, and he was appointed as a general and minister, and he was favored by all officials; When officials give gifts, they all use birthday watches.Tang Bi admired Qin Qiong's horse card and made arrows, and ordered the Chinese army to choose two strong men to serve Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong went home and bid farewell to her old mother. Seeing that Shubao was going out again, Qin's mother said with tears in her eyes: My son, I am old and twilight.Not long after you came home, you had to go out again, which made me lean against the door and watch.Shubao said: "My son is going out today, not as long as in the past. In February next year, I will worship you on my knees."After all, farewell to the old mother and wife, Ling Jianbu got on the horse with a backpack and left.If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
