Xu Jian has been waiting painfully for news about Jiang Wan.
He had no choice but to be concerned about his situation and future. Xu Bai had told him several times to calm down and follow Jiang Wan's instructions to do what he usually had to do and not to act rashly.
However, he really had no intention of doing what he was doing.
The intentions of the newly arrived Baihu against him were already obvious, and his brothers were not fools either. Except for a few who were close to him on weekdays, other people also treated him somewhat indifferently.
If so, it's not as bright as usual.
It was boring to stay in Baihusuo, and there was no specific errand for him. When Master Baihu showed his face in Baihusuo, he didn't know where he went. He simply excused himself as having a headache and left directly.
When he reached the front door and the back door, he met the person Xu Bai sent to call him. He suddenly felt happy and hurried towards Qingyun Tower.
In Qingyun Tower, Xu Bai had been waiting for a long time. When he saw him coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "You have nothing to do now. Come out with me!"
"It's okay, where are you going, Mr. Jiang?" Xu Jian looked at Xu Bai, but couldn't get any hint. Apparently Xu Bai didn't know where Jiang Wan was taking him.
"Bring enough money and go buy some gifts first!" Jiang Wan looked at Xu Bai, who immediately understood and stuffed the banknotes directly into Xu Jian's hand.
After walking out of the door, Jiang Wan looked at Xu Jian with a smile: "How much will Xu Bai give you?"
"Five hundred taels!" Xu Jian swallowed and couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to buy gifts for all of them?"
"Just five hundred taels!" Jiang Wan didn't feel bad about spending other people's money: "You won't feel bad if you use your brother's money to do your things!"
"How could it be!" Xu Jian said seriously: "It is already an honor for us brothers to ask Mr. Sir to come forward. It doesn't matter if we spend a little money, as long as we can get it, if we don't have enough, we will take it again!"
"That's almost it. It's not easy for Xu Bai to earn some money!" Jiang Wan smiled and waved her hand: "The gift of five hundred taels of silver is barely affordable, so it's not too shabby!"
Xu Jian trembled in her heart, and couldn't help but have some thoughts. This was who Jiang Wan was taking him to give a gift to. This gift of five hundred taels was just a modest gift. A more decent gift would be better.
Don’t spend thousands of taels of silver to buy it!
Find a calligraphy and painting shop that Xu Jian is familiar with. Xu Bai follows the boss's recommendation and picks out a calligraphy and painting from the five hundred taels. It is said to be from a calligraphy and painting master in the Tang Dynasty. Xu Bai really has no discernment in this regard.
However, with Xu Jian around, the store would never deceive him with fake goods.
"Mr. Jiang, where are we going?"
After coming out of the calligraphy and painting shop, Xu Jian, who had been full of questions along the way, couldn't bear it anymore.
"Do you know where your commander's residence is?" Xu Bai looked at him with a smile and asked slowly.
"The commander's residence!?" Xu Jian's face turned pale at first, and then turned red. White was because she was frightened, and red was because she woke up and was surprised!
"do you know?"
"I know, I know!" Xu Jian nodded repeatedly. As the commander-in-chief, he didn't even know where his own commander lived. This was simply an unforgivable mistake. If he had no official consciousness at all, then he wouldn't
I found out so many unknown inside stories about their thousands of households.
"Well, the commander will meet us?" He asked cautiously while leading Jiang Wan towards the residence of Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
"It depends on who goes to meet him!" Xu Bai glanced at him: "If you go, you may not be able to see him, but if I go, I should be able to see you!"
"What does it mean that you may not be able to see me? The commander will never see me!" Xu Jian said with a wry smile: "Even the Qianhu of our Qianhu Office in Dongcheng may not be able to see the commander if they want to!
"
Having said this, he couldn't help but show a look of admiration to Jiang Wan. What Jiang Wan said just now, "I should meet you" was probably a humble way of saying it as a scholar. If he were to say this, it would definitely be "I will definitely meet you."
of!"
Looking at the calligraphy and painting in his hand, he suddenly felt that this gift was a bit shabby. Although five hundred taels of silver was a lot, there was no difference between giving a gift to the commander of Jinyiwei and sending it to a beggar. The dignified commander,
Will you appreciate this gift of five hundred taels of silver?
All the way to the door of Jinyiwei commander Tian Ergeng, the scene was indeed similar to the scene Xu Jian imagined.
There were already many people waiting in front of the gate of Tian Mansion, and not far away, the waiting carriages and horses were lined up for half a mile.
There should be people giving gifts and people asking for an audience, but when they get to the door, they can't even get in to the concierge, and they can't even drink a sip of tea. This shows that either they don't have enough official status or the relationship is not close enough.
At this moment, these people saw a uniformed guard general leading a man who looked like a scholar. They looked like they were about to jump in line. Someone immediately shouted: "Brother, don't bring this kind of person. We have already waited for one."
It's been a while, we will be called soon!"
The captain in Jinyi at the door glared hard at the noisy guys and cast his eyes towards Xu Jian.
In the eyes of the people outside the door, the general flag of the Jinyiwei or the captain is no different from a big-headed soldier. But in the eyes of the Jinyiwei captain who is guarding the door, the general flag of the Jinyiwei is his family, his family
As for people, they should be given some convenience.
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
Xu Jian looked at Xu Bai beside him and firmly remembered what Xu Bai had told him not to speak unless necessary.
"Jiang Wan from the Tenth Prince's Palace, following the orders of His Highness, came here specifically to congratulate Commander Tian!"
Jiang Wan smiled slightly, reached into her sleeves, took out a red name card, and handed it to the other party with a smile: "Excuse me, please inform me!"
A famous post?
The Jin Yiwei who was guarding the gate had seen many famous posts. When he saw the other party handing over a red post with the appearance of a scholar, he subconsciously thought that this was the other party's post. He murmured in his heart that this person was an official with a Jinshi background. He turned around and headed towards
Went inside.
In today's officialdom, those who dare to use red nameplates are confident.
The other captain who was guarding the door was much more discerning. When he saw his companion coming in to announce, he smiled and said to Jiang Wan: "Why don't you, distinguished guest, have a sip of tea in the doorman's room and wait for a while?
When the commander sees the guest’s name, he will definitely receive the guest immediately!”
"Okay!" Jiang Wan smiled and nodded, then walked towards the concierge.
Xu Jian, who was beside him, saw this and hurriedly followed him. The guard in Jinyi who was guarding the door was stunned and didn't know what the number was.
After a slight hesitation, Xu Jian followed Jiang Wan into the concierge. He shook his head and turned to the crowd who had just made a noise: "Who was making noise just now? Please make another noise..."
