Chapter 427

Shang Quan was stunned for a moment and then grimaced.

The matchmaker smiled and said: "Huang Langjun, please come forward and show Mr. Shang a good life."

Huang Linxiong took a few steps forward.

The majestic body was very oppressive, and Shang Quan wanted to retreat. Then he thought that he was looking at his son-in-law, so he suppressed the fear in his heart and asked, "Why didn't we get married?"

He didn't believe what the matchmaker said.

Lin Feibao said: "I have been busy these years and have not taken care of it."

"Don't want to?" Shang Quan was confused.

"I didn't think so."

Shang Quan glanced at the matchmaker. How could any man in his right mind not miss a woman?

Is there something wrong with this person?

Lin Feibao frowned, "Does Mr. Shang think that I am... incompetent?"

Shang Quan coughed dryly and acquiesced.

Lin Feibao said: "This matter is quite simple. How about I go to a brothel?"

Testing a son-in-law before marriage is a rule only for powerful families. Shang Quan is just a businessman. He thought this method was good, but he also thought that if he became his son-in-law in the future, wouldn't he be embarrassed?

The matchmaker knew what he was thinking and said: "Shang Gong, look at his figure, how can he be so majestic and incompetent? This is not incompetence, he is just a man of integrity!"

yes!

Shang Quan suddenly realized, thinking that I want to find a clean husband for Xiao'e, but also think about what he will do...isn't this asking for trouble?

He coughed dryly, "What are you doing in Zhouxia?"

"Just be a guard."

"good."

Shang Quan was satisfied, "Where is the house?"

"Under renovation."

The matchmaker said: "I've seen it, it's good."

Shang Quan was nine points satisfied and looked at Huang Linxiong carefully, "You're not going to bet, are you?"

Lin Feibao shook his head, "I have never gambled before, and there are rules. Gambling is not allowed."

It is taboo for guards to engage in gambling. If they lose again and again, they can eventually turn themselves into spies.

"So..." Shang Quan looked at him carefully, with all kinds of hesitation and dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally sighed, "That's it!"

The matchmaker was overjoyed and slapped her thigh, "That's it! I'll come to you later to propose marriage."

The news spread to the backyard.

"Congratulations, sister." Mrs. Wang hugged her son.

Shang'e was silent.

At dinner, Shang Quan mentioned Huang Linxiong.

"Looking solid, I feel solid when I stand there. I have asked my father, if he doesn't gamble or whore, he is an excellent man."

"Yeah!" Shang'e thought of her first husband.

Then came the divination, which turned out to be very auspicious, making the merchant very happy.

Two days later was the agreed day to send the marriage certificate, which was also the day when the man would send the betrothal gift. Shang Quan and his family were all specially waiting at home.

When the time came, it was still the matchmaker who came in first.

Shang Quan, dressed in new clothes, smiled and said, "Is the messenger from the groom's family here?"

The matchmaker turned sideways and said, "Here we come."

The sound of footsteps and horse hooves outside gradually approached.

“It’s so lively!”

The neighborhood children cheered.

Shang Quan's heart moved.

Immediately, the betrothal gifts were sent in one by one.

Someone sent the order, and Shang Quan took it and looked at it. It was very thorough.

"The messenger has arrived."

Shang Quan stood up.

A man came in with a smile and cupped his hands: "I've met Mr. Shang."

Shang Quan trembled a little, "Envoy... Envoy!?"

Shang Neng was even more unbearable, "Is your Majesty here to have a feast?"

Snap!

Shang Quan slapped him on the back of the head and cursed: "Go and make tea!"

He stepped forward himself, but then felt that he was too attentive, so he stopped and awkwardly held up his hands and said, "I have met the envoy."

"There is no envoy today. I am here to deliver the intermarriage certificate."

Yang Xuan came today, firstly to deliver the marriage certificate, and secondly to see Shang'e.

Shang Quan quickly brought Yang Xuan in.

"Although there is no such rule, I would like to meet the young lady of your house!"

"It's easy to say!" The exporter regretted it as soon as he said it, but it was inappropriate to pretend to be reserved, "Call Xiao'e."

Shang'e was in the backyard, listening to the noisy sounds in front of her, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Sister, don't worry. Aye has a lot of knowledge about business. If he says that a person is good, then he must be good." Mrs. Wang hugged the tender baby, held his hands, and held his hands towards Shang'e.

"Kekeke!" The child's flesh is tender and tender, and his smile makes all the worries in his heart disappear.

Shang'e took her nephew and put it on her lap a few times, "Actually... I'm a little flustered."

Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Who is not panicking? When I heard the person bringing the betrothal gift coming, I hid behind me and worried about the gain and loss. I wanted to run out and say I didn't want to get married. But now that I think about it, it was just the panic of going to a strange place.

But the stranger can still be familiar! You see, I have become more and more proud in the past few years. I take care of my children in the back house and can go out to play when I have time. These days, I am more comfortable than at my parents' house."

"Hey!" Shang'e sighed, "I'm afraid..."

"Sister, are you afraid that man is cruel?" Wang laughed heartily, "A man is cruel to outsiders, to his own mother-in-law... Look at my husband, can I beat him? I can't beat him, right?"

But you see, if I get angry and hit him, he will just run away... Don't be afraid, a man who really loves you will squat down and beat you even if he is reincarnated."

"How can it be like this?" Shang'e said angrily, the anxiety still lingering in her heart.

The maid ran in and said, "Little lady, hurry up! Go to the front yard!"

Could it be that something happened to the groom again? Wang was stunned, "No way?"

Shang'e's face turned pale, "I..."

"The envoy is here."

After that, Shang'e was completely confused.

"Can you manage the household?" Shijun was very kind.

"meeting."

"How about cooking?"

"It's all agreed."

After asking some questions, Yang Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "She is a down-to-earth woman, and her life is just right!"

Shang Quan's face glowed red, "If you say yes, it will definitely be good."

The marriage was successfully decided.

Yang Xuan felt that something was on his mind.

He has bought the houses around Zhouli to house Qiu Longwei's family.

"We have to move in the future." Cao Ying muttered.

"Just move and sell it." Yang Xuan said, "You can still make a fortune by then."

"Can I still make money?"

"real estate."

"real estate?"

"This man! He loves to compare. He took those dilapidated houses, knocked them down and rebuilt them, making them more exquisite. Then he boasted about it. The central area of ​​​​Lin'an City is close to Zhouxi, and thieves dare not disturb it...

Then bring in the county school and the state school, and those who live nearby will be given priority to enroll. How many people will flock to it?"

Cao Ying was startled, "Nowadays, the county school is very good. How many people are trying to get in. If this is the reason... those people are willing to buy it even if they are afraid of losing their money!"

Yang Xuan's heart moved.

Do you want to develop real estate?

But just thinking about the consequences of rising housing prices in Chenzhou, Yang Xuan gave up the idea.

"Chang'an can do it, but Chenzhou has a weak foundation and cannot do it!"

You can earn a lot of money from real estate in Chang'an.

Real estate in Chenzhou is a bloody mess.

"Chang'an... there are many noble people!"

Cao Ying's eyes lit up.

Yang Xuan nodded.

"Noble man, no matter how much you die, it won't be a pity!"

The two looked at each other, and a tacit understanding emerged spontaneously.

"Old Cao!"

"Mr. Sir, please tell me."

"You have followed me for several years and have been doing these specific things. I didn't ask you to be a think tank or anything. Do you regret it?"

Cao Ying shook her head, "I want to do things more."



The sun is shining brightly, but occasionally the wind blows and it still feels a bit cold.

A group of people appeared on the official road.

There were more than ten riders and more than ten carts. Not only did the carts contain food and grass, but there were also dozens of prisoners.

The name of the team leading the escort of prisoners was Sun Ye. In front of them was Chenzhou, which was the destination of this trip. The hard work along the way seemed to be relieved, making him and his subordinates feel relaxed.

"The team is at attention. There is a wine shop in front of us!" A sergeant pointed to the front.

It's just a stall with a sign with the word "wine" on it.

"Commander, let's have a drink!"

"Yes! We started in early autumn last year and it was freezing all the way. We finally got to Chenzhou. Let's take a rest!"

Sun Ye said with a straight face, "Take turns eating, don't get drunk!"

He was also greedy.

A few people were left to guard the prisoners, while others rushed forward.

"Hurry up and get some drinks and pancakes. Meat...I don't want meat!"

"Hey! This journey has been quite tiring!"

The shopkeepers are a couple and they look honest. There are two customers drinking at the moment.

The prisoners were also given opportunities to move around.

"Just stomping around the carriage. Anyone who dares to take a step away will be killed!"

One person smiled bitterly, "Little people only have legs, but military men have horses. Whoever is stupid will run away."

Several sergeants laughed.

The prisoner turned around and asked, "Mr. Han, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Han is in his early forties and has messy long hair. But unlike other people who have loose hair, he uses a cloth band to tie his long hair into a ponytail.

There were still traces of frostbite on his fair face. A pair of gloomy eyes slowly turned and nodded, "Yes!"

The prisoners gathered together and talked in a hurry.

Mr. Han leaned against the carriage alone, looking in the direction of Chang'an.

"...That thief Si Niao actually dared to defraud Ye Ye of his money. Ye Ye killed him with just a few punches. Now, he's here."

"Where's you?"

"Me? Hey! I stole someone else's cow."

“You won’t be exiled if you steal a cow, right?”

"Meet the host."

"That's not the case."

"My master is holding a knife and wants to strike, so I will... strike first."

"roll!"

Just like using force on women, this kind of person is an object of contempt.

One person laughed and said: "Mr. Han has always refused to say what he has committed. Now that he has arrived in Chenzhou, Mr. Han will tell you."

"Yes! Mr. Han is a great talent at first glance. What could possibly happen?"

Han Sheng glanced at these people, shook his head, and then whispered: "The little fun brought by ridiculing the noble people in your eyes will turn into poison and distort your hearts."

He slowly turned his eyes.

The two guests, surrounded by the sergeants, kept their heads down while eating. They had already finished eating. After putting on their bamboo hats, one paid the bill and the other stood still.

The sergeants were rough and rude, swearing, talking about the hard work of the trip, and vowed never to do the job of escorting prisoners again in their lives.

Han Sheng suddenly walked towards the remaining sergeants.

"What's the matter?"

The sergeant thought he wanted to defecate, so he pointed to the side and said, "Just find a place and defecate."

Han Sheng shook his head and whispered: "Those two are not right."

The sergeant glanced at the two guests and said, "Don't look for trouble!"

This journey is about to come to an end, and they don't want to cause any complications.

Another sergeant threatened: "Go back and squat. From now until peace, you are not allowed to speak!"

Another sergeant said disdainfully: "This man was originally a staff member of Duke Dangyang, and Duke Dangyang treated him well. But this man was so ambitious that he raped the maid in Duke Dangyang's house. The maid resisted and was killed by him.

Already..."

Pooh!

Another sergeant spat in Han Sheng's face.

Han Sheng continued without wiping the saliva on his face: "From the moment the sergeants entered, the two guests lowered their heads..."

"inappropriate?"

"People are curious. If you were waiting inside, and a general suddenly came, would you keep your head down while waiting?"

"Maybe he is timid!"

"No matter how timid you are, you dare to look at it. And again, you see, that person goes to check out, and the other person is standing there waiting. If you are timid, he should come out and stand on the side now."

"Eh!"

"If he is timid, he will not dare to wear a bamboo hat, but will hold it."

"Hey! You're just timid!"

"Go back!" A sergeant held the handle of the knife, "It will be our turn to eat soon."

Han Sheng sighed, "I bet that they will find a reason to come here. If so, please be on guard, be careful of them killing people."

A sergeant smiled and said: "Who dares to kill us?"

"I didn't tell you guys."

"Then who do they want to kill?"

"Old man."

Han Sheng returned to his place.

The two people finished paying and walked out of the stall.

One of them held up his hand and said, "I'm going to the opposite village, so please give way."

He was referring to the opposite side of the stall. To get there, one had to pass by the motorcade.

Several sergeants narrowed their eyes.

He glanced at Han Sheng.

Han Sheng stood beside the carriage and murmured: "Wen Simiao, I've been waiting for you to silence me all this time, but I didn't expect you to choose Chenzhou.

Yes, when we arrived at the border of Chenzhou, the sergeants were relaxed and easy to attack. But you can't hide your thoughts from me..."

Wen Simiao, Dangyang County Duke!

Several sergeants came over.

"Let them come over?"

"I'm just afraid of death. If someone gets into trouble, all our hard work along the way will be in vain."

"But catching the thief was a great achievement!"

"Then... try it?"

A sergeant said: "Hurry up!"

"yes!"

The two men held up their hands and came over one after the other.

Han Sheng turned his back to them and listened to the footsteps approaching.

Zheng!

In the Tang Dynasty, weapons were not strictly controlled. It was common for travelers to carry knives for self-defense.

Hearing the sound of the horizontal sword being unsheathed, Han Sheng squatted down without hesitation.

Woo!

There was a sword wind passing above my head.

"It's a thief!"

The prisoners ran around in panic.

The sergeants who were eating were shocked and rushed out.

After a siege, the sergeants injured three people.

The two criminals also took the opportunity to run away, and were later chased back.

Sun Ye checked the injuries of his subordinates and was silent for a long time.

He came to Han Sheng and said coldly: "Who are you?"

"Han Sheng."

"Yeah, who are you?"

"The staff of Dangyang County official Wen Simiao."

"Why should I kill you?"

"It's best not to ask about this."

"Why?"

"There are many things that, once you know them, they become troubles."

Sun Ye took a breath of cold air.

A sergeant said: "Is this silencing?"

Everyone nodded silently.

Sun Ye took a deep breath, "I can't control these people. When we get to Taiping... it's a good place, but for you, I'm afraid it's a place of death."

If Wen Simiao really silenced him, Han Sheng would be killed sooner or later when he arrived in Taiping.

"I know."

When they arrived at Taiping County, everyone was stunned by the lush scenery.

"Is this peace?"

The clerk who greeted them said, "Isn't this Taiping County?"

Sun Ye said: "I asked, it is said that this place is poor and poor, so why has it changed its appearance?"

The clerk said proudly: "Since the arrival of Ambassador Yang, we are at peace and Chenzhou has changed a lot."

Han Sheng looked at the lush scenery in the city and said quietly: "The former prince Zhongyun is indeed a great talent."

After the handover was completed, Sun Ye took his men down to settle down, preparing to rest for a few days before returning.

"Follow me!"

The clerk took them to the prison.

"Please wait."

The clerk turned around and said, "Huh?"

Han Sheng held up his hand and said, "Please tell Ambassador Yang that an old friend from Chang'an is here and has something important to report!"
