Wang Lan was bitten by mosquitoes several times during the night and had an uneasy sleep. Su Ce sat aside and fanned herself.
It is not Su Ce's character to sit back and wait for death, to surrender. Su Ce may not fight or grab, but it does not mean that he will not fight back when being bullied.
The generals who came out of the frontier army were direct in character and brutal in their methods. This was due to the environment, so they often could not get into high positions.
Who can I turn to when I feel wronged?
Of course I went to my boss.
Mr. Su got up very early and took ten of his guards to carry the more than 100 guan left at home and the more than 40 guan Su Ce received yesterday in a carriage, and went to Chang'an East Market to buy things that the family needed.
There are a lot of things, and southerners are not used to sleeping on earthen beds.
Su Ce didn't bring anyone with him and asked ten personal guards to stay to protect Zhuangzi. There were too many children in Zhuangzi. He couldn't sleep last night and heard wolves howling.
Su Ce left a little later than Su's father, but arrived in Chang'an earlier. As soon as the city gate opened, Su Ce went all the way to ask, and soon found out the destination.
There were only two people Su Ce knew in Chang'an City, one was a veteran who worked for a living, and the other was the newly promoted Dingbei County Duke Li Sizhe.
Su Ce felt that this matter was not directed at him. Each army in the army had its own lineage and competed with each other. Su Ce did not want to become a knife in the hands of others.
Su Ce stayed away from the struggle for power.
As soon as he entered Chang'an City, Su Ce didn't even go to his Earl's Mansion. He asked for directions and led the horse all the way to Dingbei Gong's Mansion.
"Please, please inform me that Su Ce of the Anbei Protectorate has come to pay homage to the Protector-General."
The front door of Dingbei Gong's Mansion was very lively, with people queuing up to pay their respects. Su Ce didn't care about this. Su Ce didn't believe that Dingbei Gong Li Sizhe didn't know that someone was trying to mess with him. Su Ce led the horse and squeezed in without any courtesy.
Front.
"Who are you?"
"Who pushed me?"
When the guard at the door heard Su Ce announcing that he was one of his own, he took the initiative to hold the horse for Su Ce. The housekeeper at the door also stepped forward and ushered Su Ce in from the side door.
The tone was very polite, but what he said made Su Ce feel uncomfortable.
"My father-in-law has given me orders. If the people from the Anbei Army are coming, they must have encountered some kind of difficulty. But there is a shortage of food at home. You come with me to get some silver coins and deal with emergencies first. My father-in-law is going to go hunting with some of the princes today."
I went and came back very late, please come this way!"
Su Ce had roughly understood something, so he simply pretended to be stupid and took the money he got in vain.
Su Ce was invited to the side hall, and the butler excused himself. Before Su Ce could see the decoration of the side hall, the butler came in with a bag of silver.
Su Ce weighed the twenty taels, which was really impressive.
After being politely escorted to the door again, Su Ce took his horse back and sneered.
I just said my name, but neither the doorman nor the housekeeper responded at all. What does this mean?
This shows that Li Sizhe did not regard him as a subordinate at all. He fought with more than 20 knights during the Northern Expedition. Su Ce did not believe that with the prudence of a Confucian commander, he would not fail to explain clearly to his subordinates.
Everyone who rose to prominence from there was stamped with the brand of a faction.
Su Ce laughed at himself. He was not from a general family, so he had already prepared himself for not being taken seriously. People must be self-aware, and it is inevitable to see their family status everywhere!
Su Ce went straight to his Earl's Mansion. When he arrived, he saw his Earl's Mansion. The mansion was very nice and big, but Su Ce did not enter.
There was no shortage of guards, stewards, and servants, but Su Ce didn't need them now. After revealing his identity, the steward brought his servants to visit Su Ce, but Su Ce was very angry because there was no respect in the eyes of these servants assigned to the household department.
, only contempt, when these slaves dare to look down upon an earl.
"To reward you, bring me a piece of wood and pen and ink." Su Ce threw the twenty taels of silver from Dingbei Gong's Mansion to the steward.
The butler opened it and saw that it was just a wooden board and pen and ink. Give it to him.
He who was born in the mud-legged family really regards himself as a person.
After getting the wooden board and pen and ink, Su Ce wrote a line of words.
When the housekeeper saw this line of writing, he broke into a cold sweat.
"A Earl's Mansion is priced at 10,000 yuan."
Su Ce placed the wooden board next to the pillar at the door. The housekeeper was about to speak.
Su Ce's eyes glanced over: "The following offenders should be beaten to death. If you can't interfere in this matter, this board will be placed here. Go and move a chair for my uncle, hurry up.
"
The housekeeper was about to cry, so he went to bring a chair for Su Ce himself.
Su Ce placed the chair next to the wooden board and sat on the chair. Not to mention, the breeze blowing from the doorway was really cool.
"What else do you need?" The housekeeper hunched over and looked at Su Ce, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, knowing that this time things were getting serious.
After all, he has lived in Chang'an City for more than forty years, and he has no idea what Su Ce is going to do.
An earl, when he came to his own house for the first time, made plans to sell the house without even entering.
What is a mansion? It is the face of a distinguished noble. No matter how downcast the noble is, he will not let his mansion become shabby.
But Su Ce dared to do so. What's the face? He was just an unknown person from a small village outside Hangzhou, and he was lucky enough to make some achievements.
"We haven't eaten yet this morning. Go buy two roast chickens and a bottle of wine. Do you have the money?" Su Ce ordered in a cold voice with half-opened eyes.
The housekeeper was eager to get away, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, you just gave it to me. Your Excellency has a lot. Please remove this sign and spare the little one!"
"Idiot, I didn't even come in. It has nothing to do with you. Go quickly, I'm hungry!" Su Ce kicked the housekeeper, but without saving any energy, the housekeeper staggered.
"Hey, hey, thank you uncle, let's go now, go now!" The housekeeper rubbed his legs, knowing that this kick had changed what happened just now. After living for so many years, he didn't know that this was a tribute.
It's a game of arms. You're not even a chess piece. The uncle in your house who is being treated as a chess piece is really young and vigorous. He wants to knock the chessboard off.
Being used by others shows that you are valuable, but if you are used without saying hello, a rabbit can stomp an eagle to death if it gets anxious.
Su Ce had already seen several people on the street scurrying away in a hurry.
The mansions of the princes and nobles are located in a few squares at the foot of the palace city. In the summer, the princes and nobles spend the summer in Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain in the south of the city under the guise of hunting. However, people will stay in the mansion. I believe that I will sell it soon.
News of the mansion will spread throughout Chang'an City.
Although Chang'an City is large, news spreads very quickly. You must know that the people in the capitals of past dynasties like to talk about state affairs the most.
Su Ce knew that he had been thrown on the chessboard as a chess piece. As an abandoned piece, the only one he could rely on was himself.
The housekeeper quickly bought Su Ce roast chicken and wine, but Su Ce did not drink. He threw a chicken drumstick to the housekeeper. After watching the housekeeper finish eating, Su Ce started to eat. When others ate the vegetables, I held up the chopsticks.
As for the wine, Su Ce didn't take a sip. He just took the water bottle hanging on his waist and drank the water that smelled like leather.
Grabbing the kettle, Su Ce waved to a carriage on the opposite street corner.
The carriage turned into a street corner while Su Ce was drinking water.
On the carriage, there was an old man in purple robes. The white jade cup in his hand was cold, and he cursed: "Young calf, you don't understand the rules." After saying this, he drank the grape wine in the white jade cup in one gulp.
