Chapter 171: The Guard's Speculation

The county guard's wife, who returned to the county guard's mansion, was expressionless, and the little girl beside her was angry and indignant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that when she returned to the upper room, the county keeper calmed down and told her daughter and the maid who was staying in the box at the time not to talk about it.

Mrs. County Keeper summoned her mother and asked, "Is my lord at home today?" ”

Mom replied: "Yes, my lord has been teaching my brother to read in the study today." ”

Mrs. County Shou unconsciously showed a smile on her face, and instructed her mother: "You send someone to tell the master, saying that I have something urgent to find him, and let him come to me if he finishes teaching his brother, and I will go and change my clothes first." ”

Mom answered and stepped back.

When the county watchman's wife came back from changing her clothes, she saw that the county guard was already sitting there drinking tea.

"Master, have you finished teaching my brother so soon?" The county keeper's wife sat next to the county guard, and Yahuan served her new tea.

The county keeper put down his teacup, "I heard that you have something important to look for me, so I'm here." ”

The smile on the face of the county keeper was even greater, and it was a good thing that her husband valued her.

Just thinking of the shopkeeper's threatening words, the smile on the county guard's face narrowed.

With a wave of her hand, the county keeper asked the people in the room to retreat, and the county keeper waited for the door to be closed, and asked, "It seems that it is really something important." ”

Mrs. County Keeper took out the envelope from her sleeve and handed it to the County Guard, and said coldly: "This is given by the shopkeeper of the Silk Village, he said that it was written by the nobleman, let you do what the nobleman said, otherwise there will be a disaster of destruction." How unreasonable! Dare to say such things to threaten our family, I looked, his shop didn't want to open in Yichang County. ”

The county keeper is not as angry as his wife, he has been an official for many years, and he can be the head of a county, so naturally he will not be angry so easily, the first thing he noticed is the "nobleman" in his wife's mouth.

The county keeper flipped through the envelope left and right, opened the fire wax, and pulled out the letter inside, and when he had read it all, the county keeper stood up and asked in surprise, "Who did you just say that this letter was handed over to you?" ”

The county guard's behavior was very abrupt, so frightened that the county guard's wife choked on a sip of tea, coughed several times, kept touching her chest, and couldn't say a word.

The county guard was so anxious that he jumped a little, but his wife was frightened by him after all, so she walked a few steps around her and patted her on the back until she stopped coughing, and the county guard asked again, this time in a more urgent tone.

Mrs. County Keeper was stunned and replied without thinking: "It was given by the shopkeeper of the Silk Village, what's the problem?" ”

The county guard's wife has been with the county guard for more than ten years, and she can still get the respect of her husband as always, so she is naturally not a stupid person, and she immediately guessed that her husband is like this, and what the shopkeeper said must be true!

"Do we really have a noble person here? Which noble man is it? You haven't received any news from the Imperial Court? Daddy and Auntie, they didn't send us a letter either, what about your classmates in Shangjing? ”

The county keeper asked several questions in a row, and the county keeper handed her the letter directly.

The county guard lady took it, read it word by word, and then said in surprise: "The fifth prince is here with us?" Didn't you say that the five princes accompanied Concubine Jing to pray for blessings in Daxiang Temple? ”

The five princes accompanied Concubine Jing to Daxiang Temple to pray for blessings, of course they knew about such filial piety, but it was good, why did the five princes come to Yichang County?

Mrs. Junshou's face changed, and her voice trembled a little: "Master, it wouldn't be a pretext for the fifth prince to accompany Concubine Jing to pray for blessings, but in fact, he is visiting on behalf of His Majesty, right?" ”

Lord County Keeper glanced at Madame angrily, "Even if it's really a slight visit, what are you afraid of?" Your master has never done anything corrupt or perverted. ”

The county keeper hopes that someone will really visit instead of the Son of Heaven, he has been conscientious all these years, treating the people well, caring about farming, paying attention to water conservancy, and I don't know how good the tone is here.

It's just that there is no help in the family to help, and being able to climb to the top of a county is already the highest position in his life, and Yichang County is not as prosperous as the county town in the south of the Yangtze River.

If there is really an angel who replaces His Majesty to make a secret visit, it is possible for him to rise soon, and he is afraid of it, and it is not a private visit.

Lord County Shou is not like his wife, he only thinks of those thoughts that make people cry and laugh, after he saw this letter, he immediately connected the matter of the imperial court tracking down the two young masters of the Ningguo Mansion in his mind, plus he had also heard his colleagues say that even the sailor was dispatched.

What if, Your Majesty did everything not for the young master of Ning Guogong, but for the fifth prince? What if the five princes didn't accompany Concubine Jing to Daxiang Temple to pray for blessings at all, but lost the folk?

When this thought appeared in his mind, the county keeper himself was startled, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.

The county keeper took back the letter from the county guard's wife, turned and left, "I'll go find the shopkeeper of the silk village." ”

Before he could get out of the room, the county keeper paused again, took out the letter from his bosom again, and looked at it carefully.

After reading it three times and confirming that he was not mistaken, the county keeper walked back to his wife, "Didn't you take your daughter to the silk village to choose materials today?" Has the material been delivered? ”

Mrs. County Shou shook her head, "Even if the material is sent, it will be directly received by the housekeeper, how do I know if the material has been delivered." ”

Lord County Shou instructed: "I'll go and ask the housekeeper if the people from the Silk Village are here, if not, you will send someone to the Silk Village, under the pretext of adding a few more materials, and secretly deliver a message to the shopkeeper, so that the shopkeeper can come here to see me while people are not paying attention, and don't tell me about it, before I see the five princes." ”

Mrs. County Shou nodded: "Don't worry, master, the concubine knows what to do." ”

The county keeper went to find the housekeeper, and learned that the people from the silk village had not yet come, so he wanted his wife to send someone to the silk village.

"Master, the people from the silk village came to send Mrs. to choose the materials today, saying that Mrs. chose a lot of materials today, and many of them are valuable, so they were transported by carriage, but the coachman who drove the carriage wanted to drive in directly from our corner gate."

Lord County Guard raised his eyebrows, the silk village came so quickly, almost stepped on the point, and said that he wanted to drive the carriage in, is it?

Lord County Keeper directly ordered: "Let the carriage of the Silk Village drive directly to my outer courtyard, I am afraid that I will personally go and see how much material Madame has bought today." ”

When the county keeper came to the outer courtyard with the butler, he saw that the carriage had just stopped, and the coachman in the carriage was a man from the silk village, and the door of the carriage was opened from the inside, and a man came out of it.

"I've seen the county guard, it's polite, a certain is the shopkeeper of the silk village, and a certain surname is Yan." Yan shopkeeper Shi Li said. (To be continued.) )
