Chapter 1679 Retired Yue Fei’s Leisurely Life
Chapter 1677: Retired Yue Fei’s leisurely life
Luoyang, in the Yue Mansion, Yue Fei's wife Li Xiao'e is keeping accounts carefully with an abacus, but her face is full of headaches.
“Alas, the government’s expenses have overspent again this month. It seems that we will save a little next month.”
Li Xiao'e couldn't help but mutter to herself as she typed the abacus.
Li Xiao'e's husband, Yue Fei, was once a general in Zhennan and a Marquis of Yiling. His salary was naturally very high, but the life in the Yue Mansion was not very good, and could even be called a financial hardship. The reason lies in Yue Fei, the head of the family. .
When Yue Fei was the governor of Jingbei, every time salaries and rewards were distributed, most of them would be given to disabled soldiers, leaving only a small part for their families.
As a mansion at the level of a marquis, the Yue Mansion naturally had a large daily expense. The little money Yue Fei left was not enough to cover the daily expenses of the Yue Mansion, so Li Xiaoe dismissed most of his servants.
This also resulted in a huge Yue Mansion. Including the cook and housekeeper, there were only five servants in total, and then there were Yue Fei's family of nine.
Living in the most luxurious mansions but living a simple life, this is the Yue family.
Yue Fei knew nothing but fighting. As he was dismissed from office, the Yue Mansion's only financial support was cut off, and life became increasingly difficult.
If the previous rewards from Qin Hao had not been spent yet, and the eldest son Yue Yun's military salary had not been handed over obediently to subsidize the family, the Yue Mansion would have been unable to survive.
After finishing the last calculation, Li Xiao'e let out a long breath. Before she could even finish stretching, a group of children gathered around her.
“Mother, Jinxiu Pavilion has produced a kind of fine silk and satin, and Yin Ping wants to buy a new piece of clothing.”
“Mom, the previous weapon is not strong enough, Lei’er wants to make a new weapon.”
“Mom, Lin’er wants to eat…”
Except for the eldest son Yue Yun who is away from the army, Yue Yinping, Yue Lei, Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, Yue Ting, Yue Aniang, two daughters and four sons are all by Li Xiao'e's side.
Yue Lei, Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, Yue Ting, and Yue Anyiang are not the main characters, but the children born to Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e after he was born.
It has been ten years since Yue Fei was born. Although he spent most of the ten years fighting abroad, he still did not neglect the reproduction of offspring. In the past ten years, he and Li Xiao'e gave birth to five children. The eldest Yue Lei is nine years old, and the youngest Yue Anyiang is three years old.
Several children surrounded Li Xiao'e, chattering non-stop, which made Li Xiao'e feel dizzy.
“What kind of clothes and weapons do I need? I can’t even open the pot at home. I also want new clothes and weapons, but I don’t have any…”
After being scolded by Li Xiao'e for a while, the children did not dare to ask for anything anymore, and Yue Lei even looked aggrieved and said: "But dad agreed..."
Li Xiao'e's eyes widened: "Then go to your father for money, not your mother."
Yue Lei immediately didn't dare to speak anymore, and Yue Fei, who had just walked to the door, looked embarrassed when he heard this. After all, the money in the house was under the control of his wife, so he didn't have a dime in his hand.
Li Xiao'e also saw Yue Fei and greeted him with a smile: "Husband, why are you here?"
Yue Fei smiled and said, "Madam, my husband wants to open a martial arts gym. What do you think?"
“Open a martial arts gym?”
Li Xiao'e looked surprised, and Yue Fei explained: "My husband is at home now, and there is nothing to do anyway. Why not open a martial arts school and teach people how to practice martial arts, so as to earn tuition and support the family."
Although Yue Fei's political skills are low, he is not stupid. He knows nothing but fighting, and this martial arts has become his only way to make a living.
I have to say that Yue Fei's method is very good. There are so many people practicing martial arts in today's troubled times. And with Yue Fei's reputation and master-level cultivation, if he opens a martial arts hall in Luoyang, it will definitely attract a large number of martial artists to come and learn. , let alone subsidizing the family income, there will be no pressure at all even if you make a fortune.
Such a good way to make a fortune was in front of him, but Li Xiao'e said hesitantly: "Will this affect your reputation, husband?" Yue Fei was a governor after all, but now he is living in martial arts among the people. If this spreads out, it will inevitably give people the illusion that Yue Fei has completely lost power, and it may even affect his future comeback.
Yue Fei waved his hand indifferently: "What's the matter? I, Yue Fei, make money with my own skills. Who would gossip? Besides, he, Yuchi Laohei, also opened a knife shop and worked part-time as a blacksmith when he was not fighting. Who said that? He, what’s wrong with me, Yue Fei, opening a martial arts gym?”
Hearing this, Li Xiao'e thought for a moment and nodded, saying: "In that case, let's go."
Yue Fei smiled, then looked like he was discussing, and said: "Madam, once the martial arts school opens, our family will definitely not be short of money. Look at what my husband promised to the children, can you make an advance? The head of the family always It’s not easy to break your promise.”
Hearing this, Yue Lei and others were all happy, looking at Li Xiao'e with great anticipation.
Seeing this, Li Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Yue Fei and said angrily: "Buy, buy them all."
“Yeah, long live daddy…”
Yue Lei, Yue Lin and others all cheered, and the whole family was filled with joy.
In this way, during Yue Fei's demotion, not only did he not sink, but he also opened a martial arts school and taught martial arts disciples.
To open a martial arts gym, you must obtain authorization from the government. After all, if the martial arts gym is not managed well, chaos will occur, so it is not easy to obtain a business license.
But who is Yue Fei? With his connections in the DPRK and China, it was easy to obtain authorization. In less than five days, the license was issued and Pengju Martial Arts School was successfully opened.
I learned that Yue Fei, the former Governor of Jingbei and a master master, actually opened a gym to teach apprentices. A large number of children from aristocratic families and young martial artists came to Luoyang to become apprentices, almost breaking the threshold of the Yue family martial arts gym.
Since the number of apprentices was too large, far exceeding the number stipulated by the government, Yue Fei had to raise the threshold for apprentices. In the end, he recruited 300 apprentices with good potential and taught them the Yue family boxing skills in batches.
Yue Fei is, after all, a master and cannot accept apprentices casually. However, these three hundred apprentices only have a teaching relationship with him and have no real status as masters and apprentices.
If you want to become Yue Fei's disciple, you must pass his test. Among these three hundred apprentices, Yue Fei only accepted three named disciples, and not even one true disciple. This shows that Yue Fei's success in accepting disciples is clear. strict.
In the first month when Yue Fei opened the martial arts gym, martial arts practice was at its peak. The apprentices practiced loudly every day, which could be heard from several streets away. People who didn't know it thought Yue Fei was training.
Because of this incident, some ministers in the court impeached Yue Fei, saying that he was unwilling and intended to rebel, but Jia Xu suppressed him.
After Yue Fei learned about it, he was grateful to Jia Xu, but also a little angry in his heart. It was so obvious that he was being targeted.
After this lesson, Yue Fei also changed the way of teaching. The apprentices were much less active in practicing, and their lives were relatively stable after that.
The days passed by, and gradually, Yue Fei had opened the martial arts gym for three months, and during these three months, the situation in the world has changed even more.
When he learned that the Southern Han Dynasty was conquering the Qin Dynasty in five directions, Jingbei was in crisis, and a large number of cities fell, Yue Fei was so anxious that he could not sleep all night. Although he was in Luoyang, he had already flown back to Xiangyang, but now he is an ordinary citizen. , I can only sit and wait for the news in a hurry.
On this day, Yue Fei was teaching his son to practice martial arts with his apprentices in the martial arts hall. Suddenly Qin Ji, one of the registered disciples, rushed over and shouted: "Teacher, teacher, Master Jia Xu is here."
Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something. He rushed forward without saying a word, and within a few steps he bumped into Jia Xu head-on.
Jia Xu, holding the edict of King Qin in his hand, said to Yue Fei with a smile: "Captain Yue Fei, long time no see."
Yue Fei's eyes were filled with gratitude, and he cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Wenhe, I have offended you many times before. Please forgive me."
The first update is coming...Don't be anxious, everyone, this is the last transition, and the final battle will begin soon.
