The people turned their heads to look at Zhou Chengkuan, and saw that the man sitting high on horseback, although he was young, but that noble bearing was impossible for ordinary people to have. They kowtowed heavily again www.biquge.info and said again and again: "Lord Zhou, we have also kowtowed to you, Lord Zhou, you must be the master for us!"

Zhou Chengkuan raised his hand and said, "Everyone get up." Please go to the gate of the city lord's mansion together, there are already a few bookkeepers, and you will line up and go and register the number of silver tickets in your possession. Everyone told each other to register before noon tomorrow, and they would not wait for the time to go. ”

The bolder people lifted up their heads and asked, "Then, when will we get the money?"

Zhou Chengkuan thought for a while and said loudly: "At most one month, all the villagers must get the silver." ”

Only then did the people begin to cheer and shout, "Great, great! Thank you, Lord Zhou!"

Looking at these satisfied people, Zhou Chengkuan felt that his responsibility suddenly became heavier. Turning around, he instructed the guards beside him: "Seal the Xue Mansion, the masters and subordinates in the mansion, if they are willing to leave, they can leave on their own." However, no one is allowed to take any of the belongings here. If you don't have a place to go, you can stay for the time being and wait for the final result. ”

"Yes. The commander of the guards beside him bowed down to receive the order, led two teams of guards into the Xue Mansion, and left one team to guard the door.

Qi Rubao turned the horse's head and said, "I'll leave it to them here, let's go back to the house first." There are still a lot of things to do in the future, and I have to work hard for you and Wan'er. ”

Zhou Chengkuan shook his head and sighed: "I have lived here for ten years, Lianbicheng is my home, I am very happy to be able to do something for my family." I'm worried about Wan'er, she was tired last night, and I wish I could help her share more. ”

Qi Rubao nodded, and was also very worried, and said, "Wan'er is really not easy, this time it's really all up to her." Zhou Gongzi's side is also in difficulty, she must not be at ease, you persuade her more, don't work too hard. ”

Zhou Chengkuan nodded, and Qi Rubao rode towards the City Lord's Mansion with a few guards.

There are ten tables at the gate of the city lord's mansion, and behind each table sit two account gentlemen, one is responsible for checking and recording tickets, and the other is responsible for registration. There was a long line in front of each table.

Song Man was responsible for presiding over this work, and all the registered accounts were finally handed over to him for inspection and verification.

Before Zhou Chengkuan walked to the Songzhu Courtyard, he saw that Lin Wan had already walked out with Qingtong and Gale Wind.

Lin Wan raised a big smile at Zhou Chengkuan from a distance, and when he got closer, he said happily: "Brother Chengkuan, you came just in time." Do you know where the second master of the Xue family lives? Can you take me to meet him?"

Zhou Chengkuan nodded and said, "I know." I'll go for you, don't go out, it's hot outside at this hour. ”

Lin Wan shook his head and said, "No, I didn't get up until noon, and I should also go out for activities." It's just that you don't let me ride in the carriage, I'm sick in the carriage. You can find me a horse, and I'll go out for a walk. ”

Zhou Chengkuan smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll personally help you pick a horse, you go to the door and wait for me first." ”

Lin Wan nodded, put on his weft hat and veil, and walked out the door.

Seeing the scene of a long queue at the door, Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh a little, whether this battle can be won in the end, the key depends on today's two negotiations. In the face of new challenges, she is confident, but not sure, after all, she will face someone she has never met and does not understand, if the other party is not the same as rumored, she will have to find another way.

Lin Wan stood at the entrance of the alley opposite, and saw Zhou Chengwan leading two stables out of the back door stable, one of which was a short-legged little red horse, Lin Wan liked it at first sight. The horse was not very tall, but it was very strong, with a smooth red mane, large eyes that were dark and bright, and a pinch of white fur in the middle of its forehead.

Sure enough, Zhou Chengkuan led the little red horse to Lin Wan's face, and said with a smile: "This is what I chose for you, it is a little mare, don't look at its tall growth, but its speed and strength are very good." It's only three years old this year, and it will grow taller in a few years, but it is a very valuable pony in Beichen, it won't grow too tall, and it's just right for you. ”

Lin Wan was very excited, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the pinch of white fluff on the little mare's forehead, and asked happily, "What's its name?"

Zhou Chengkuan was also very happy to see that Lin Wan liked it so much, and said: "It doesn't have a name yet, it's given to you, so it's up to you to give it a name." ”

Lin Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Did you give it to me?"

Zhou Chengkuan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, I gave it to you." Last year, when I went to Beichen to buy a war horse, I came across it, and I thought that it could be given to Mo Yan as a gift. However, Mo Yan didn't like it, and thought it wasn't majestic enough, so I chose another horse to send her. This one has been kept in the stable, and no one has ever ridden it. ”

Lin Wan was unceremonious, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Brother Chengkuan, I will accept this gift, I like it very much." When you get married, I'll give you a big gift back. ”

Zhou Chengkuan laughed and said, "Then you have to help me find a suitable person first, otherwise, I can't look forward to your gift." ”

Lin Wan patted his chest solemnly and said, "What's so difficult about that, who do you fancie, I'll go and tell you the matchmaker, just with my three-inch incorruptible tongue, there is nothing that can't be said!"

Zhou Chengkuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, don't talk too far." Come on, go up and try it. As he spoke, he tidied up the saddle and horses, held the reins steadily, and helped Lin Wan to get on the horse.

Lin Wan carefully stepped on the horse's pedal, jumped quickly, and sat on the saddle.

Although the little mare is young and mild-mannered, she has never been ridden and is very restless in her place.

Lin Wan hugged the horse's neck tightly and whispered in the little mare's ear, "Be good, don't move, I won't hurt you." In the future, I will be your master, only I can ride you, understand? I have given you a name, called Red Sail, do you like it? I will take you to many places, let you accompany me around the world, and also go to your hometown Beichen to see the grassland, okay? But you have to listen to me obediently, Red Sail, Red Sail, Red Sail, this is your name. ”

Zhou Chengkuan heard that Lin Wan had been whispering in Hongfan's ear, and felt very funny. However, unexpectedly, these words made Hongfan really miraculously quiet, as if he really understood, and was honestly ridden by her, and listened to her very much. (To be continued.) )
