The meaning of Zhao Mazi's previous sentence is obvious, if you don't want money, you want to ask them for favors. In fact, many times, owing favors is a more troublesome thing than owing money.

Qi Zhengze thought for a moment, nodded at Zhao Mazi, and said, "You say." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mazi was still silent, he looked at Xu Wen with a smile, as if he wanted to ask him for an answer.

Qi Zhengze and the others were surprised.

Zhao Mazi thinks that Xu Wen's favor is more important than his?

Xu Wen is indeed the head of the county, but as I said before, there are seven counties in one Tonghe Mansion, and Yu Shui is not at the top of the ranking.

In the Ziyi Club of Tonghe Mansion, he is actually not conspicuous at all.

But Zhao Mazi stared at Xu Wen with a very resolute attitude.

Xu Wen looked at him and said, "You say." ”

With the same words as Qi Zhengze, Zhao Mazi opened his mouth this time.

"Just now, when the little brothers were playing, I saw the dark part of the verandah behind me—" He pointed in that direction from afar, "Lord Sun and Lord Prefect immediately looked at each other. ”

Obviously, they are no longer in the small courtyard where they signed up, but everyone still subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger.

Qi Kun tried hard to recall, he could remember the basic layout of the courtyard, but he couldn't remember that there was a person standing there at all.

"I seem to see a human figure faintly...... So those are two adults?" Xu Wen muttered.

"Exactly. Zhao Mazi smiled confidently, "After watching the whole game, the two adults praised the quality of the candidates this time, and they were very satisfied. ”

"How do you know that? You weren't around, standing under a tree at the other end. Xu Wen suddenly looked up and asked him.

Zhao Mazi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Wen to notice his movements in the game at that time. He hesitated for a moment, then finally pointed to his lips and lowered his voice, "I can read lips." ”

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows. There are many people in the Ziyi Club, and there are people of various identities in the people. Zhao Mazi is a miscellaneous leader, and no one usually pays more attention to him no matter where he is.

As a result, he actually had this skill...... So how many other people's words did he hear here, and how much secret information did he know here?

At this time, even Qi Zhengze's face changed slightly.

"Did you teach your lips by yourself, or did you have a teacher?" Xu Wen was briefly surprised, and then looked curious.

"Self-taught. Zhao Mazi didn't expect him to react like this, and was stunned for a moment before answering.

"There are so many homophones and different words in the usual words, and there may also be common names and code words of this door, how do you distinguish them clearly with the shape of your mouth?" Xu Wen asked further.

“...... I have my own way of this. Zhao Mazi was silent for a while before answering vaguely.

"Then how can I believe that what you 'heard' must be right?" Xu asked him with a smile.

"I'm just providing a reference, whether you believe it or not is your business. Zhao Mazi said cautiously.

"I still want to know. Xu asked the bottom of the accident.

This is someone's unique skill, and it is a bit too much for Xu Wen to ask to this extent.

Qi Zhengze cleared his throat and was about to come forward to say something, but he didn't expect Zhao Mazi and Xu Wen to look at each other for a moment, and actually took out a booklet from his arms.

"I'll write down some things that I think are important, and then I'll ask the person's background and compare them. ”

He handed the booklet to Xu Wen, who took it and looked at it a few times, and asked with some surprise, "Are you literate?"

"Secretly stood outside the private school to learn some, and was kicked out by my husband many times. Zhao Mazi touched his head.

This time, even Qi Zhengze and Master Yao were a little sideways.

This man is not simple!

Obviously, the background is not too high, and the appearance also has obvious shortcomings, but I don't give up any opportunity, I taught myself to write, and I taught myself to read lips, this kind of spirit is really not something that ordinary people can have.

It is conceivable that he just wants to find an opportunity to find a good seller for what he knows and learns.

The point is, why does he think Xu Wen is this "good seller"?

Xu Wen flipped through the booklet, Zhao Mazi's characters were indeed self-taught, lacking pen and drawing, and the glyphs were also very ugly, but there were still a lot of words that could be written. At this level, it is definitely not possible to do the academic examination, but it is enough for daily use.

What's even more remarkable is what he wrote on it.

One page per person, what time and what scene, facial expressions and identities, all written clearly, more thoughtful than Xu Wen imagined.

This booklet is simply an intelligence manual. If Zhao Mazi had been doing this kind of collection, the amount of information he had accumulated in his hands would be really not small.

Xu Wen didn't look at it carefully, just flipped through it and returned the booklet to him.

Zhao Mazi seemed a little disappointed, but Xu asked the next sentence to cheer him up: "What did the two adults say at that time?"

Zhao Mazi described the scene at that time vividly, very detailed and vivid.

At that time, Zhao Mazi noticed the two adults as soon as he entered the courtyard. The two of them stood a little hidden, and it was difficult to see from a specific angle, but they didn't mean to avoid it.

They were watching the apprentices' games, and as they watched, they occasionally pointed a few words.

Most of the time, it was Governor Deng who was talking, and Sun Boran said very little, and his attitude seemed to be a little indifferent.

But as he spoke, Governor Deng laughed, he patted Sun Boran on the shoulder, and said: "The emperor's meaning is already obvious, as courtiers, of course, we must do everything in front of us and share our worries for the emperor." ”

Sun Boran did not reply, his expression was subtle, and it was difficult to describe.

Governor Deng said a few more words, probably with similar meanings, and finally Sun Boran finally asked him: "Do you really think this is appropriate?"

"Of course. I'm sure I can't run away from anything. Governor Deng said with a smile.

“...... Well. Sun Boran finally responded.

Zhao Mazi was concise and to the point, and soon finished speaking, and several people looked at each other.

"When it is. Qi Zhengkun nodded and said, "Although I don't understand what he means, if he doesn't have his intentions, Lord Sun will not act recklessly." ”

Master Yao was silent, and finally Qi Kun said his true thoughts: "I still think it's weird, I really can't figure out why I did this." ”

No one could figure it out, but it had come to this, and they had to do it.

Zhao Mazi left after saying the information, and he didn't—at least not at least now he didn't plan to ask Xu for anything in return.

There were only ten days left before Master Sun Boran's birthday banquet, and after they returned, they would start preparing for the birthday gift.

Qi Zhengze said very happily that there was any need Although he told him that the birthday gift only needed six woods, and the value was not high, Master Yao readily agreed.

The next thing they have to determine is what to do and how to do it.

The father and son of the Qi family gathered the masters of Yue Mu Xuan to discuss together, and Master Yao's eyes fell on Xu Wen.

"Xiao Xu, what kind of charter is it, or are you up to decide?"

This kind of big thing, he handed it over to Xu Wen, and it can be said that he trusts him very much. Naturally, in fact, what he wanted was to let Xu Wen do it.

However, Xu Wen thought for a moment and looked at Lu Cheng: "In this way, it's still the same as the previous two days, I'll draw the picture, and you will do it." ”
