Chapter 114: News
I probably think this surprise is not good.
The round-faced maid hurriedly took the basin in Shao Nianshi's hand, hurriedly begged for a favor, squatted for a while, gave a salute, and went away to the convoy.
At this time, Shao Nianshi was tidy, and he didn't even glance at the tender green horse, so he walked straight in the direction of the mule and horse convoy, and joined the chief steward who was waiting on the side.
"Whoa!"
The chief steward handed Shao Nianshi a bag, which was heavy and jingling.
And Shao Nianshi didn't pull the bag open like usual, but just stuffed it in his arms casually, and asked the chief steward: "The chief steward, if there is nothing wrong, I will take the car back now." ”
Just as the chief steward was about to open his mouth to say a few words, suddenly there was a loud noise at the tail of the procession.
The chief steward Chu Zhong frowned and looked back, and saw that Liu Erzi, the leader of the guard team, had brought over two more people.
"What is this?"
Liu Erzi's expression at this time was not as relaxed as when he took Shao Nian.
He pointed to the people behind him and said directly: "These two people are businessmen from Lunan, and when they came down from the Baoqinggu Village, they said that they had encountered bandits related to our Chujia Town. ”
"The bandits have worked in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Liaocheng, a native of Qiu Village, named Wang Shuzi. ”
"He said this Wang Shuzi and asked them to bring a few words to the master of the Chu family. ”
When he said this, the chief steward and Shao Nianshi were stunned for a moment.
In the end, Lao Cheng is serious, this Chu Zhong pressed his hand, shook his robe, and drove away to the green-roofed horse.
After a while, the chief steward returned to his place and beckoned to the two small traders who looked extremely nervous: "Master Chu has something to ask in detail, you can follow me." ”
"Shao Nian, don't be busy walking, follow us to Jicheng to recognize the master's mansion, if there is anything in the future, you will know where to find us. ”
This is probably what the first master meant.
Shao Nianshi, who was supposed to be unwilling to leave now because of the sudden arrival of these two people, nodded, returned to the end of the team, and gave the uncle who was driving the cart two more days' silver, and let him pull the carriage, and the mule and horse team of the first family converged together.
This eating, drinking, and Lazar are all shared by the Chu family, and there is no need for Shao Nian to worry about it for the time being.
As for himself, he was still standing next to the single pony on which the chief steward was riding, waiting for the chief steward to come back and share it with him.
Who would have thought that Shao Nian's plan fell through for a while.
This large group of men and horses did not take more than a moment, but they set off slowly, and traveled towards the last ten miles.
It seems that he will make plans after returning to Jeseong.
This shows that the news brought by the two small traders who passed around the calf is really a bit big.
Shao Nianshi suppressed the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly entered the city with the team, and then was arranged by the chief steward in a row of bungalows in the back street of the Jicheng Mansion.
The big families in this city have their own area.
For some reason, the traditional Chinese loft and the new Western-style mansion are next to each other.
In this area, the windows are bright and the streets are clear, and there is not even a single small vendor walking the streets, as if it is isolated from the gray and bustling Jicheng district, with an unusual quiet and elegant atmosphere.
The men and women who appear here are all well-dressed and spiritual.
They look like delicate people living in an ivory tower, cut off from this miserable society.
And the old man of the first family has the largest garden in the local area here.
Because of the hedge of Chinese and Western cultures at home, a semi-Chinese mansion was built in this garden called the mansion.
The small building for children to live in on the side is more like a foreigner's house.
The snow-white walls and pointed roof have the style of a red castle.
The main courtyard used by the first master to live and meet guests still maintains the architectural pattern of the old family.
It's just that the traditional way of building the courtyard has been changed to a direct way to meet guests as soon as you enter the courtyard.
The garden was moved to the back of the house.
In such an environment, naturally not everyone will return to the mansion with the first master.
At the very least, most of the guards and servants who had come over from the courtyard of the first family began to diverge from the outside of this mansion, and went straight to the residential areas of ordinary people outside this area.
There, the first master had a row of yards.
Each small room, one hall and one room, became the residence of the outer stewards and servants of the first family.
Shao Nianshi was assigned to a room with a small steward who had just been transferred to Jicheng.
Because this little steward knew that Shao Nian would return to Liaocheng soon, his attitude towards this steward who was much younger than his own was a little better.
When Shao Nian finished his work and left here, the ownership of this house will be owned by him alone.
And it was in this friendly atmosphere that Shao Nianshi was called away by the people sent by the chief steward.
"I'll tell you about it, and you just listen. ”
"Just a little, through my mouth, through your ears, even if it ends here. Even if it's the person closest to you, don't let the wind go a little bit. ”
The chief steward nodded when he saw Shao Nian, and then continued.
"Wang Shuzi's threat is actually a wake-up call for the first master. ”
"Hugging the calf is about to digest the people and horses that were plundered last time, but it will not be long before there will be a new big move. ”
"This Wang Shuzi can also be regarded as a person of affection, although he has not been working in the villa of Liaocheng for a long time, but it is not easy to bring a word to the old club. ”
"In response to this news, our master should have some arrangements. ”
"I won't tell you the specifics, you just need to know that when you return to Qiu Village, don't talk to the people in the village. ”
"So as not to startle the snake, and then spoil the master's calculations. ”
After listening to the whole story, Shao Nianshi was still a little panicked before, but after hearing that the first master had his own plan, he put his heart in his stomach.
I just thought that I wouldn't say anything when I returned to the village, but if I developed and set up an industry in the city, I would take those two mothers-in-law to Liaocheng County to avoid trouble, and I would always have nothing to do with it, right?
