After getting rid of the entanglement between the fake mother-in-law and Princess Nanyang, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er ran out of Jiangdu, crossed the prefectures and prefectures, and went straight to Jizhou.
With his status as a high-ranking official in the Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er did not encounter any trouble along the way. He crossed the Yellow River smoothly and safely.
Just after crossing the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuwen Xiaomaganer realized something was wrong.
It turns out that my coachman, who is so powerful in the sea, seems to be a little absent-minded. Because this guy crashes into trees while driving, gets distracted while eating, and even falls down while walking!
"Could it be that this stupid big guy is feeling springy?"
Thinking in his mind, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er simply asked directly, "I said big bear, big bear? Big bear!"
After calling three times in a row, Xiong Kuohai was awakened from his reverie. He scratched his head and asked rather stupidly, "Ah! Ah! Master, are you calling me?"
"Nonsense! I said, Big Bear, what's been going on with you lately? Why are you always absent-minded? Are you looking for a wife?"
"No! No! Master! I don't want to find a wife! Women are too scary!"
"Then what are you thinking about that makes you so involved?"
"I just miss, miss, miss my mother!"
"Your mother?"
Now it was Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er's turn to be confused. After these people, including Xiong Kuohai, Qin Qiong and others, came to work in Wuhou Mansion, Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er had given everyone enough money to let them
He brought his little boy into the capital. At that time, Xiong Kuohai said that his mother had passed away!
But now, how come this stupid guy has a girl again?
Seemingly understanding Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er's doubts, Xiong Kuohai said quickly, "Back to you, young master, I just want to go to my mother's grave to place incense sticks, and by the way, tell my mother that I, the old man, have now changed his ways and become a new man."
Now! Now I have become a high official! I am already, that, um..."
"Colonel Captain!"
"Yes! That's the captain! The young master is smart, but I, the old man, can't remember so many twists and turns!"
It turns out that during this expedition to the Khitan, Xiongkuohai also made considerable military exploits and captured many Khitan prisoners. After receiving rewards based on their merits, he became a captain in charge of a regiment of 200 people!
After transforming from a bandit to a captain, one can imagine the joy in Xiong Kuohai's heart. Furthermore, he also felt heartfelt gratitude to the young master Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er!
But there is one thing, no matter how good Yuwen Xiaomagan'er is, he is still an outsider!
As for Xiongkuohai, although he is a little rough, he is a filial son. Now that he has made a difference, it is natural for him to report his current situation to his mother! Even if it can only be in front of his mother's grave.
It’s good to report it!
Especially now that he arrived in Jizhou and saw that he was not far from his home, Lao Xiong's thoughts became even more intense.
"That's right! I thought it was such a big deal! Since you have this filial piety, then go!" Yuwen Xiaoma'er said without any hesitation.
"Then the young master's car..."
"Come on, leave these things to Qin Qiong! Well, Qin Qiong, prepare more money for Lao Xiong and bring him five hundred taels of silver! Also, give the horse to this bear
One!"
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! You are such a good person!"
"Stop blabbering, go! Go! Well, also, after you are done, remember to come to Shiquan County to find your young master. Don't go to the wrong place!"
After saying that, Yuwen Xiaomaer waved his hand like a fly, then turned around and got into the car.
Seeing that Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er had already given the order, Qin Qiong didn't waste any time and quickly prepared all the needs for Xiong Kuo Hai according to Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er's instructions. Then, he took over Xiong Kuo Hai's position and acted as
The role of the coachman….
Let’s not mention how Xiong Kuo Hai visited his mother’s grave. Let’s just talk about Yu Wen, Xiao Magan’er and Qin Qiong. Since they separated from Xiong Kuo Hai, they have been riding fast all the way. In just a few days, they arrived at Gao Qiao’s hometown, Bohai.
Gan County.
Quan County was called the Tiaohou State in ancient times. Zhou Yafu, a famous general in the Han Dynasty, was granted the title of Tiaohou, that is, the Marquis whose land was in Quan County.
Among the entire Jizhou, Quan County can only be regarded as a medium-sized county, and it is not very big. The entire county only has more than 10,000 households.
Even so, it is still a little bit difficult to find a specific family among the tens of thousands of families! Especially for this tall old man, whether it is Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er or Qin Qiong
, I have only heard of his name but never seen his person!
It doesn't matter if you don't know where Old Man Goriot lives, you can just ask!
Come to think of it, this is a county town with just over 10,000 households, so there should always be some people who know this old man!
However, it doesn’t seem to be a problem to just ask blindly! You have to think of a faster way!
Thinking in his mind, Yuwen Xiaoma Gan'er, the boss, also began to get out of the carriage, his eyes wandered, and he began to wander around.
"Normally speaking, Old Man Gao has been a prime minister after all. Even if he has been demoted to a commoner now, he should not be so destitute that he has no food to eat! He should still have a lot of wealth! Moreover, with Old Man Gao's virtue
, I think they may not be mixed up with the ordinary people who are looking for food in the ridges. Most of the people who have contacts with the high government are local gentry!"
"In this case, we can narrow down the target and look for those high-level courtyards first. I think there might be some clues!"
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er told Qin Qiong to look for those high-level courtyards in Qian County.
After looking for three families in a row, Qin Qiong went up to ask and found that none of them had the surname Gao. After cross-examination, they could not find out which of the famous families had the surname Gao. Yuwen Xiaomagan'er couldn't help but be a little confused, "Could it be,
Is this the wrong idea?"
After listening to Yuwen Xiaoma'er's inquiry, Qin Qiong was also a little confused. Normally, my young master's idea should be fine? But why can't he find someone to control him? "
Just when the two of them were looking at each other and scratching their heads, Yuwen Xiaomaganer's eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed, "Dugu! Oops! Isn't this old Mr. Dugu?"
As he spoke, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er quickly ran towards an old man carrying a hoe.
When he came to the old man, he looked at it carefully. The look of surprise on Yuwen Xiaoma'er's face became more and more intense. He quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Oh! Mr. Dugu, it's really you! I've seen Dugu before."
'Old sir! I didn't expect to meet the old man here, I am so lucky!"
Being stunned by Yuwen Xiao Ma Gan'er's attentive greeting, the old man quickly turned around and looked at Yu Wen Xiao Ma Gan'er. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "Oh, it's you! You are Yuwen Shuna
What is the boy’s eldest grandson? What is his name? Who is Yuwen Chenglong?”
"Exactly! Exactly! Mr. Dugu really has a good eye and a good memory! At first, the boy only had a relationship with the old man. I didn't expect that the old Mr. Dugu still remembered me. I was really flattered! Old man
How are you doing, sir? Are you still in good health? Looking at your posture, you seem to be stronger than me. You are really getting stronger with age, and you are an old man! I admire you! I admire you!"
