"Masters, please invite you upstairs." The guy greeted him earnestly, leading Deng Zhiwu and his party to the private room upstairs. "Masters want to eat something. In the morning, the master cooked roast goose, but he would give it to me.
How many of you guys cut one?"
Deng Zhiwu is only in his prime, and he is surrounded by the General's Mansion's personal guards. Except for the two grades, the remaining six are nearly forty years old. They are all burly and strong, wearing weapons around their waists, and they can't be provoked at first glance.
The trainer.
"Uncle Huang, you have tea first." Deng Zhiwu looked at the work on the side of the station and handed over the broken silver. "Inquired with my second brother. A few days ago, my girl came to Huai'an Mansion with her servants, and she seemed to live there.
It’s Xinglong Inn, I wonder if my second brother remembers it?”
Because of Liu Hefeng's funeral, Xinglong Inn was full, but most of them were male guests. When Deng Zhiwu spoke, the first thing he thought of Zhan Feiyu, who had lived in the yard for five days before.
But when he thought of Zhan Feiyu's pretty appearance with red lips and white teeth, and compared with Deng Zhiwu's dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the young man was young, but his chin was a beard. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a brother or sister.
Deng Zhiwu said again, "My girl is only nine years old."
"So it's that girl." The guy looked at Deng Zhiwu, who was as strong as a bear, with no words. Could it be that one looked like his father and the other looked like his mother? "I did live in..."
After saying that, the guy left.
Deng Zhiwu frowned, very distressed, "Uncle Huang, this is the same as what we found out. Could Miss Zhan leave Huaian Mansion first?"
As the commander of the General's Mansion, Uncle Huang looks no different from an ordinary middle-aged man at first glance. But if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are shining with light, his temple is raised high, and the palm that holds up the teacup is sold.
There is a thick layer of cocoon inside.
"Second young master, don't worry, Miss Zhan has people sent by Xue Shi Gu, all of them are masters. If something happens to Miss Zhan, Huai'an Mansion will not be so calm." Uncle Huang poured a glass of water for Deng Zhiwu and handed it over, and patted him.
Shoulder, "The eldest son is not anxious."
Deng Zhiwu wiped his face hard and was completely depressed, but his burly body, coupled with a face that was 90% similar to General Deng, made him feel awkward.
"It's all useless. My brother is in urgent need of medicinal materials. If you have this money, you can still buy those medicinal fields." Deng Zhiwu has been to the southwest road, and the deep mountains are full of miasma. Not to mention poisonous weeds and insects, a poisonous one
Mushrooms can kill people.
The deworming powder is better, they are all ordinary medicinal materials, but the gingival pills require ginseng, but this is something that saves life, and how much is consumed in the army.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver seem to be a lot, but there are 100,000 troops stationed in Southwest Road. Once each barracks are spread out, the silver will be enough to buy medicinal materials and pay a little more military salary.
"Uncle Huang, what if Miss Zhan really left Huaian Mansion?" Deng Zhiwu spoke dejectedly. His father sent him to come and he would be executed first and then report. Maybe he would be impeached by the censor, but he didn't even see Zhan Feiyu.
Not to mention any money.
"Reasonablely, no." Uncle Huang had no idea about Zhan Feiyu before. Even though she was a disciple of Master Gu, the Deng family was a military general and had no friendship with civil officials.
Until Zhan Feiyu trapped Chen Ji sent 100,000 stones of grain to the border, and gave the silver from the beauty makeup to the soldiers who had to go back to the field due to injury. Uncle Huang guessed that this might be the work of Mr. Gu, for the sake of
Make Zhan Feiyu famous.
Since Zhan Feiyu was greedy for fame and fortune, she would not be able to leave Huai'an Mansion before the 500,000 taels of silver was resolved.
As for where the people went, the Liu family of the imperial merchants did not have the courage to assassinate the disciples of Gu Xueshi, but Huai'an Mansion is so big that the soldiers guarding the city gate also saw the carriages leaving the city. For a moment, Uncle Huang didn't know what to do.
Find someone.
"Or why I'll go find Uncle Jiao Er after dinner." Deng Zhiwu punched the table. If he didn't find Zhan Feiyu, he wouldn't get the silver. Without silver, there would be no medicinal materials, which would cause death!
Uncle Huang looked at the impatient Deng Zhiwu, and the general was right. The second young master really needed more training. "The distance water cannot dissolve the near fire. This is Huai'an Prefecture. It is more suitable for the second young master to visit the prefect Chu."
"But I don't know the Prime Minister Chu." Deng Zhiwu shook his head like a rattle. He disliked dealing with civil servants the most. Besides, he had heard that the Prime Minister Chu was an old fox, and Deng Zhiwu felt scared when he thought about it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know each other. The second young master is looking for Miss Zhan. With the face of Master Gu, Master Chu will definitely cooperate with him with all his strength. It is much more convenient than looking for a headless fly like us." Uncle Huang said this.
The guards sitting beside him nodded in agreement.
Gu Xueshi's disciple, looking at the Daqing Dynasty, no official would give him a third of face? If something happened to Zhan Feiyu in Huai'an Prefecture, the prefect Chu was the first to be held accountable.
Seeing Deng Zhiwu's face was extremely resistant, Uncle Huang smiled and said, "Second Master, think about the 500,000 taels of silver. Why did Miss Zhan write to Mr. Gu for help? We are not familiar with each other in Huai'an Prefecture. If
With the help of Master Chu, I believe I will get the money from the Liu family in the shortest time."
"I..." Thinking of the elder brother who was far away in Southwest Road, Deng Zhiwu could only nod and put in two words, "I'll go."
Isn’t it just a trip to the government office? No matter how big the matter is, it will be a scar that is big when the head is cut off.
"I send a message to you in the afternoon. I will accompany the second young master tomorrow morning." Uncle Huang looked at Deng Zhiwu who was ready to die. The second young master Wu Jue failed eight times. It seems that he is not only a frustrated person in his studies, but also a scholar.
Dislike.
"There are so many rules." Deng Zhiwu curled his lips. It was better for them to come to the door directly if they met. They would send a message to him or choose a morning. The literati had to do a lot of things. They just took the martial arts exam by themselves. What would they do if they had to write articles?
Those who rely on the battlefield will scare the enemy back?
...
Liujia Town.
The morning after the heavy rain makes people feel the coldness of autumn.
"Aunt, what does the Liu family mean? Is this intentional leave us alone?" Jin Baozhen sat on the chair angrily. When she thought of coming to Huaian Mansion, everything went wrong, and her impatient mood was unconcealed.
"Is our Jin family poorer than the Liu family? Why do you look down on us!"
Compared to Jin Baozhen's irritability, Mrs. Wei sat upright in front of the dressing table and asked the maid to dress herself up. Looking at her gorgeous makeup in the bronze mirror, "I will visit Mrs. Chu today and change into the set of gems and jade-emerald head faces."
"It's a lady." The maid responded in a low voice and flattered her again, "This face is just right with the plum-patterned silver silk skirt that the lady wore today."
"Don't worry, Xuan'er is talented, hardworking and hardworking in her studies. In her early years, Mr. Chu once owed a favor to our Jin family. Your father has never been willing to use it for years. Xuan'er will definitely be able to become a disciple." Mrs. Wei fiddled with her hairpin.
The hairpin on the bun is a house filled in. If the Jin family is in decline, maybe I can't even sit firmly at the position of Mrs. Wei, so there must be no mistakes in this trip to Huai'an Mansion.
"Madam, Old Lady Liu and Mrs. Liu are here." The maid serving outside the door whispered, and a flash of disdain in her eyes quickly. The Liu family is really not particular. Even if they are just guests from the side courtyard, they don't come to the door early in the morning.
Yes, even if there is something wrong, the maid should ask her to say it first, and there is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming directly.
Mrs. Wei was also a little unhappy, but the Jin family still had to cooperate with the Liu family. If she didn't like the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the seventh house of the Liu family, Mrs. Wei could only bear it temporarily, "Let the old lady go to the small hall later, Bao and I
Jen will arrive later.”
After a while, Mrs. Wei, who was dressed up, came over with Jin Baozhen. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Liu sitting in the main seat. Fortunately, Liu Wang was sitting on the chair with her head.
"The old lady came here so early." Mrs. Wei strode over with a warm and warm smile, and sat down on the ring chair on the right. "I plan to go to see the old lady with Baozhen in a while."
"This is a coincidence." Old Mrs. Liu laughed in flattery. Mrs. Wei was also an official lady. After being praised by her, the old lady felt very proud and her waist was straight.
When I thought of Liu Baoer who got crazy again in the morning, Liu Wang couldn't help but speak: "Mrs. Wei, I have something to ask Mrs. Wei today. As long as the matter is done, I will give up this old face to the clan's elders.
They nodded."
If the Liu family wants to get a ghost marriage for Liu Hefeng, the Jin family needs to show their diligence. If you can find a large number of women with horoscopes, you can avoid the dead daughter becoming a ghost. I guess no family will refuse.
But it is different to get married to the Jin family. With this ties, the Jin family will come to the house in the future, but the Liu family can't ignore it.
Mrs. Wei nodded and asked with a smile, "But what about that maid?"
When talking about being defeated by Zhan Feiyu one after another, Liu Wang nodded with an ugly expression, "That girl won't get in."
Jin Baozhen looked at Liu Wang, who was complaining, and said with a crisp voice: "That little girl is not worth the money, but my aunt and I will visit Master Chu in a while, and it will be a matter of one word at that time."
Originally, it was not appropriate for Jin Baozhen, a junior, to interrupt, but she looked arrogant and arrogant. But not only did the old lady Liu and Liu Wangshi not only did not feel offended, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed a few words, which made her accomplice.
His face is simply a philosophical one.
The old lady Liu personally sent Mrs. Wei and her party onto the carriage, hoping that Jin Baozhen would bring He Nuan with her when she came back.
...
Chu Mansion.
Although Mrs. Wei is a female family member, it is logical that the prefect Chu is not a guest, but Jin Guixuan is a young man after all. Besides, the Chu family owed a favor to the Jin family in the early years, so the prefect Chu had to let Mrs. Chu come forward, and the couple met with each other.
comprehensive.
Sound... the sound of the horse being stopped sounded. On the horse's back, Deng Zhiwu stared at the coachman beside him in anger, "Do you dare to smoke my horse?"
The corner of the alley is a bit narrow. It was originally two horses of Deng Zhiwu and Uncle Huang who were walking in front, but the carriage behind him roared and caught up. He was worried that the carriage would hit the wall at the corner, so the coachman actually whipped Deng Zhiwu hard with a whip.
horse.
Fortunately, Deng Zhiwu was very skilled in equestrianism, otherwise he would have shocked the horse. It was such a narrow alley, and there was a carriage in front of him blocking the road. I guess he was really overturned.
"Zhang Ming, hurry up and get off the road, and time was delayed." In the carriage, Jin Baozhen urged impatiently, lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at Deng Zhiwu, who was as tall as a bear on the horse's back, and snorted in disgust.
Five taels of broken silver came over, "I was not injured or died. If I took the silver, I would get out of here!"
The coachman raised his whip again, and the carriage ran away with a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight
Uncle Huang stopped Deng Zhiwu who was almost rushing to argue, "It is better to have less than more things. It is important to do the important thing first."
Not to mention in Huai'an Prefecture, but in the capital, there are more playboys who bully others with power. However, most people have some strength in their eyes. The good horse under Deng Zhiwu's crotch is obviously an eliminated military horse. Moreover, he looks very similar to General Deng's face.
Ordinary playboys really dare not provoke the strong Deng Zhiwu.
"Uncle Huang, do you think Zhan Feiyu is so arrogant and unreasonable?" Deng Zhiwu was a rough person and did not care about Jin Baozhen who left, but when he thought that he had something to ask for, Zhan Feiyu would be like
Deng Zhiwu had a bitter face with this barbaric nature, and he suddenly realized that this was really a chore.
Uncle Huang smiled unkindly, "Even if he is unreasonable, will the second young master not come?"
Thinking of his elder brother far away in the southwest, Deng Zhiwu took the speech in a muffled voice, "Come on, the swords and seas of fire are coming!"
As soon as the horse whip was raised, five taels of broken silver flew out. The little beggar staring at him not far away lit up his eyes, and he grabbed the silver and ran away without a trace.
After a while, looking at the carriage parked at the door, Deng Zhiwu suddenly understood what it means to be a narrow road for enemies.
After tidying up clothes and headdresses in the carriage, Jin Baozhen got off the carriage with the help of his maid. When he looked up, he saw Deng Zhiwu driving the horse. His horse's hooves were raised and fell down, and he stepped onto a low-lying place. The rainfall that fell last night instantly splashed.
rise.
Before Jin Baozhen could react, she was splashed with sewage on her face. The pomegranate skirt that was specially circulated was also a mud idea.
"Don't blame me, who made your carriage block the middle of the road?" Deng Zhiwu turned over and got off the horse, but he was not apologized at all. If the carriage had not blocked the road, he would not have rode his horse to avoid the corner, and the horse's hooves would have been
Will not step into a puddle.
"I'll kill you!" A sharp and harsh scream rang out. Jin Baozhen twisted his face and shouted angrily. He snatched the whip from the coachman's hand and slapped Deng Zhiwu. His posture was extremely skillful, and it was obvious that he had no Shao before.
Use a whip to slap people.
Butler Chu took two servants to look at the scene at the gate in a dumbfounded manner. Is this a visit to the adults? Those who don’t know thought they came to the Chu mansion to cause trouble on purpose.
Uncle Huang is old and as the commander of the guard, he is calm and composed, but he can't like a domineering girl like Jin Baozhen. This whip didn't hit anyone. If it hits an ordinary person, it would probably be a bloodstain.
.
Deng Zhiwu snatched Jin Baozhen's hand and threw it on the ground, "Have you made enough trouble?"
While gasping, Jin Baozhen's eyes were red and she ordered to Butler Chu, "Why are you still standing stupidly? I am a distinguished guest of the prefect Chu. Why don't you arrest this savage man and put him in prison!"
Mrs. Wei's face was also ugly. She just stood a little farther away, but mud was also splashed on her dress, especially because she was a plain dress, which made the mud idea particularly conspicuous.
"I'm not breaking the law, just catch it!" Deng Zhiwu rolled his eyes, was too lazy to argue with Jin Baozhen, and clasped his fists at Butler Chu and said, "I'll inform you, Deng Zhiwu asked to see Lord Chu."
The post had been sent yesterday afternoon, so Deng Zhiwu didn't have to worry that the Prime Minister Chu didn't know whose son he was.
"Aunt!" Jin Baozhen pulled Mrs. Wei's arm, wishing she could cut Deng Zhiwu alive.
But this is Huai'an Prefecture, and I am not familiar with the place. If I were in Zhongzhou Prefecture, the person who dared to offend her, Jin Baozhen would have been dragged out by the Jin family's guard to break his legs long ago.
"It turns out to be Mr. Deng. Lord has been waiting for a long time." Butler Chu greeted him with a smile. This is General Deng's second son, who represents the General's Mansion in the capital. Moreover, General Deng and Commander Jiao have a life-long friendship, so Deng Zhiwu
Only then can he be considered a distinguished guest of the Chu Mansion.
As for Mrs. Wei and Jin Baozhen and Jin Guixuan, they are not Chu's butler, but a deputy Qian's family is only from the fifth rank. His wife is not qualified to be a distinguished guest of the Chu Mansion. Although the Jin family is a big salt merchant, Chu Mansion
It is a joke that a mere merchant dares to put on airs in front of him.
But no matter what he thought, Mr. Chu did not show any of his face, "Mrs. Wei, Miss Jin, please come from inside Mrs. Jin. Madam is already waiting in the flower hall. Dongmei, you will lead Mrs. Wei to the flower hall."
Dongmei is the eldest maid next to Mrs. Chu. She is dressed in a dress and saluted, "Madam Wei, please come with me."
"Aunt, what do they mean? Do you think of our Jin family?" Jin Baozhen shouted with a tense face. She was not stupid. The housekeeper actually asked a little maid to lead the way, but he called out himself
This barbarian boy clearly despised the Jin family.
