After the high-ranking steward and his servants left in a hurry, the fortune-teller's little Taoist priest twitched his lips slightly and took a square step to escape into a narrow alley.
Taking out a square towel to wipe off the white powder on his face, and taking off his bulky and obstructive black-blue monk's robe, the young man shouted: "Come out!"
It turns out that this trail is none other than Li Kuo, the newly promoted military envoy of Shule.
"Brother Kuo'er, I really belong to you!" Zhang Yanji took the lead to step forward and gave a thumbs up to express his admiration for Li Kuo. From across an alley, he could see clearly that the steward of the high-ranking government was being fooled by Brother Kuo'er.
, um no, it's 'advice', and it immediately felt like losing its soul. However, anyone who hears an in-depth analysis of fate and fortune will be frightened.
"This is the first step of success. Whether the subsequent plans can be realized depends on whether this senior executive acts according to your prophecy." Zhou Wuwei also walked out and said slowly.
"Leave here first, lest you stay too long and arouse suspicion." Li Kuo suggested as he looked at the people coming and going around him.
"Well, I think so too." Zhang Yanji nodded and echoed.
Avoiding the bustling crowd, Li Kuo and his party went around to an alley that intersected with the main road. Here, a servant had already prepared the carriage, and they must have been waiting for a long time. After kneeling down and saluting, the servant helped Zhang Yanji
After getting into the carriage with a felt blanket on the roof, Li Kuo and Zhou Wuwei couldn't stand the service and climbed onto the shaft themselves.
The appearance of this felt carriage is indeed no different from an ordinary carriage, but if you enter the interior of the carriage, you will definitely be impressed by its luxury.
The spacious carriage, which is about half a wing room, is covered with a Persian tribute carpet. Surrounding the carriage is a partition made of bamboo and wood for the owner to rest, with soft and fluffy cushions spread on it for the owner to lie down on.
I didn't feel any discomfort at all.
There is a table made of fine bent willow wood placed on the carpet in the middle of the carriage. On it are placed various fruits and melons in emerald jade basins for the owner to taste. The most unusual one is to count the table.
There is a wooden box in the camera obscura. Pull it out hard and you can open a three-foot-square wooden box. All kinds of famous wines are stored inside. There is ice cut out of the only royal icehouse in the city under the box, and there is a slight chill from time to time.
It pops out to ensure the wine is cold to the bone.
Seeing this scene, Li Kuo couldn't help but sigh: "Yanji, I have seen how luxurious the Tu Tao family is today. Your carriage alone can feed a poor family for a lifetime. It is really staggering."
.”
Zhang Yanji smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Kuo'er has wronged me. My grandfather is just a servant, how can he afford such a valuable carriage? To be honest, this felt carriage belongs to the lady of Guo State.
"
Li Kuo snorted softly when he heard the words, but Zhou Wuwei clapped his hands and shouted: "There are no officials and no corrupt officials. I didn't believe it at first. Now it seems that such words are not fabricated. That Mrs. Guo Guo is nothing but
How can a female prostitute afford such a luxurious carriage with just her salary?"
"Not guilty!" Li Kuo glared at Zhou Wuxin and shouted sternly to silence his friend's complaints.
Zhang Yanji gave a wry smile: "The damn fat man was also annoyed for a moment, Kuo'er you..."
"I know!" Li Kuo sighed: "It's just that Mrs. Guo Guo treats us well. Don't say such words again in the future.
"Today I saw Brother Kuo pretending to be a Taoist priest, and I couldn't help but feel that he is not as skilled as he is. Even if Brother Kuo takes off his armor and returns to the fields, he can still make a living by telling fortunes, which is a hundred times better than me."
Zhang Yanji couldn't bear to see the atmosphere getting colder, so he took the initiative to stir up fun.
"Do you think it's easy to be a Taoist priest? If everyone is like this high-ranking official, I'm afraid the master's family will be defrauded of all their money."
Zhang Yanji spread his hands: "That's true. It's really unfortunate to have such a housekeeper."
"Why did Mrs. Guo want me to go to her mansion?" Li Kuo opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out, then turned to Zhang Yanji and asked.
"Well, she didn't say it clearly." Zhang Xiaolangjun lowered his head and fiddled with his palms, and sighed hesitantly: "Today, Mrs. Guo Guo will accompany the Holy Spirit and the noble concubine to visit the Lotus Garden. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back until late at night at the earliest.
.But she only asked me to take you to the house to wait for her, and there is no need to ask anything else."
"Yeah." Li Kuo responded softly, then kept silent and thought about his next plan.
Although Mrs. Guo Guo is not in the mansion, she has already informed the manager of the mansion not to be slow to treat the young men.
In addition, after several private interactions, Uncle Fu had already left a good impression on them. Even if the master didn't say anything, he would not let these little guys suffer.
As soon as the carriage stopped, several people jumped out one after another. After saying hello to Uncle Fu, they followed the young man leading them towards the inner house.
Since Mrs. Guo Guo would not come back until evening, they were taken directly to the central gathering room of the back house.
Pei Huiben was writing the post in the study. When he heard a noise, he stopped writing, put away his inkstone and strode towards the central hall.
"Seventh brother!" Pei Hui shouted excitedly when he met several young men in the Chuanshou arcade.
"Brother Hui Xian!" In fact, the age difference between the two of them was only a few months, but after some experience at the frontier, Li Kuo appeared more mature and steady. Pei Hui, on the other hand, grew up in a high-rise courtyard, so he was naturally more delicate.
"Quick, sit down in the room." Pei Hui felt depressed even when he was alone in the room. How could he not be happy when he saw so many young people coming?"
The group of people sat down in the room, and Pei Hui opened up the conversation: "My mother taught me to participate in the pot throwing competition today, but I stopped her. I'm just here to do the math, and how can I dance?
That thing."
"Brother Huixian, you are wrong. Tossing pots depends more on the skill of the wrist rather than the strength of the arm!" Li Kuo was very happy to hear the important information that the executive had just told him. Seeing Pei Hui locked in the house all day
In the middle of the game, the young man felt pity and decided to help him cultivate the elegance of throwing pots.
"Oh?" Pei Hui looked at Li Kuo in surprise and said, "My mother told me the same thing at first. I didn't believe it..."
"This can still be false. I taught you the art of throwing pots as a noble concubine. If you don't give up, your seventh brother will teach you, how about it?"
Li Kuo smiled and made a promise.
"That's great!" Pei Hui clenched his fists and said happily.
"Then let's start now, just in the open space in front of the central hall." Li Kuo did not delay and used this free time to teach Pei Hui the art of archery.
"Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu, prepare ten lacquer pots. Brother Kuo wants to teach me archery. Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu!" Pei Hui stood up excitedly and shouted like a child.
ps: By the way, I think the last chapter was very good. Let’s see how Xiaoqi peels off the cocoon next time. Well, this volume will be very interesting!
