The next day, the sister and brother got up early in the morning and waited quietly outside the Jiang Mansion, waiting for their uncle to go out. They deliberately did not reveal the news to their uncle that they were coming to see him off this morning, wanting to surprise him. Jiang Wu was indeed surprised and delighted, and when he saw his sister and brother, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Knowing that his uncle would definitely not choose to take a carriage, the sister and brother deliberately wore clothes and rode a horse to send it off, and for convenience, Zhihua dressed as a man in men's clothes. The three nephews rode side by side, talking and laughing, and the city gate was in front of them. "Just send it to the gates." Jiang Wu said. Lu Yan pouted, "Uncle, let's give us an extra ride!" Send another ten miles, no, send twenty miles! "Haha, stinky boy, you can just go with your uncle." Jiang Wu teased him. Lu Yan took it seriously, his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, indicating that he agreed very much with this mention. Seeing that his nephew was so close to him, Jiang Wu sighed: "Silly boy, my uncle has already said yesterday that as long as the Lu family agrees to those three conditions, he will not take you away." You can't be untrustworthy. Seeing Lu Yan's lonely look in an instant, he comforted him: "The coming days are long, and my uncle will return to Beijing." When the time comes, my uncle will bring your cousin back, and after so many years, your cousin will always remember you! "Uncle, I also remember my cousin!" Lu Yan hurriedly said, "And my aunt, I miss her too." In fact, where did he remember the appearance of his aunt and cousin, but he heard his mother often mention that his aunt and cousin used to be very good to him, and he admired him very much. Zhihua took the opportunity to untie the package she was carrying immediately and handed it to her uncle: "Uncle, these are a few pairs of shoes made by me, and there are also uncles and cousins in them." You mentioned it to your aunt's size, but I don't know my cousin's, so I'm a little smaller than your size, and I don't know if my cousin fits. "I have long known that I will meet my uncle, and during this time, Zhihua will be making shoes for my uncle's family whenever I have free time." Ah Hua has a heart. Jiang Wu was comforted in his heart and cherished this gift.

Riding a horse, the ten miles outside the city were completed in a short time. Jiang Wu didn't let their sister and brother send it again, and after saying goodbye, he rode away freely. The sister and brother walked back slowly, immersed in other worries and didn't want to speak. "Brother, take a break and drink saliva." I saw a tea stall on the side of the road, Zhihua Tiyì.

It was still early in the morning, and there were no other guests at the tea stand. The sister and brother only brought Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong brothers this time, and the four of them just filled a table, ordered a pot of hot tea and drank it slowly. At this time, a stumbling teenager ran outside the tea stall, his clothes were ragged, his face was covered with mud and watermarks, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly. "Little Er, let's have a bowl of hot tea!" The young man gasped, looking like a beggar, but his tone was not polite at all, and he called Xiao Er loudly. Zhihua stared at the young man in front of her, although she couldn't see his appearance clearly, she could see the red mole under the young man's left eyebrow clearly, and she thought of someone in her heart. The person's characteristics and age matched the one she remembered, it was probably the same person, but for some reason, he was here now.

Zhihua didn't want to be troubled, put down the teacup and got up and left with her younger brother. When the young man saw them get up, he drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, put down the two copper plates, and followed them. "Everyone, wait!" Seeing that the four of them were on their horses and about to leave, the young man finally spoke and stood in front of the horse. Between tea, he was also observing the four of Zhihua. At first glance, the four of them were masters and servants, and the two younger teenagers were masters, and one of them had pierced ears, which looked like two sisters and brothers. When the woman saw her face, she looked thoughtful, she should have recognized his identity, but he didn't know the two people. Seeing that they were really leaving, the young man was sure that they had not come to look for him on purpose.

"I don't know what advice my brother has to offer?" Zhihua confirmed the identity of the person in front of her, and knew in her heart what he was doing to stop him. Sure enough, I heard him say, "Give me a horse." Jiang Quan saw that the beggar in front of him not only blocked their way, but also opened his mouth to ask for a horse so rudely, and shouted angrily: "Bold! The beggar was not afraid at all, and looked straight at Zhihua, waiting for her answer. Zhihua smiled lightly and asked unexpectedly, "Do you want money besides horses?" "I want a hundred taels and some more broken silver." The beggar boy also laughed and asked unceremoniously. "Brother, how much money have you brought?" Zhihua looked at Lu Yan, although she didn't understand her sister's behavior, Lu Yan still replied obediently: "I brought three hundred taels." ”

Instructed Brother Jiang Quan to take out a horse, took the three hundred taels of silver ticket that his brother obediently offered, and untied the money bag full of broken silver from his body, Zhihua dismounted and handed it to the beggar boy with both hands. After the young man turned over and got on the horse, he solemnly said, "Thank you!" Zhihua smiled playfully, "No need to thank you." My father is Lu Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, if you can come back alive in the future, remember to give me a favor. The boy also smiled and nodded earnestly, "Okay!" With that, he turned and rode away.

"Sister, do you know him?" Walking on the road, Lu Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "My sister doesn't go out of the door all day long, how can I know him?" Zhihua smiled, "It's just that when I went out to a banquet with my mother before, I heard someone talk about his appearance." "Is it the red mole between the eyebrows?" Lu Yan was also deeply impressed by the young man's red mole, "Yes, I heard that the master of the green lantern of Zhangguo Temple once said that this kind of red mole on the man's left eyebrow will become a big thing in the future." "Zhangguo Temple is a temple enshrined by the royal family, Master Qinglan is the most famous monk in Jing'an, I heard that the emperor treated him with the courtesy of a national teacher, and his criticism was not believed.

While the two sisters and brothers were talking, a team of people came in front of them, looking at the outfits, it should be a first-class nursing home, but they couldn't tell that it was from that house. When the head of the team saw the four masters and servants, he hurriedly beat his horse to greet him, and after saluting with his fists, he reported to his home, which turned out to be the Shen family of the Duke of Weiguo. In the early years, an army of 400,000 attacked and conquered more than a dozen Chicheng cities in Jing'an. At that time, Shen Yi, who was born in Jiangmen and was in the year of the weak crown, only led an army of 200,000 to go on the expedition, defeated the Limeng people, and recovered the lost territory. After his triumphant return, the first emperor gave him the title of the prince of the country, because Shen Yi made an immortal achievement, and the first emperor gave him the title "Wei" to show his honor. Zhihua's maternal grandfather once obeyed Shen Yi's orders. The current Duke of Wei Guo is Shen Yi's only son-in-law, Shen Bin, contrary to his father, Shen Bin is weak and suffers from congenital heart disease.

"This morning, I found that there was a small guy in the mansion who stole the jade pendant of the grandfather of the country and escaped. We followed the trail all the way, I wonder if you have seen any suspicious people? "Although it is from the mansion of a first-class master, the attitude of this nursing home is not arrogant, and it is very gentle and polite.

"On the way, we met a young man, dressed in rags and looking like a beggar, I wonder if it is the person you are looking for." Seemingly frightened by the name of the Guogong Mansion, Zhihua replied honestly with a look of awe.

"He's right, in which direction did he go?" Seeing Zhihua pointing to the east, the leader of the nursing home hugged his fists and thanked him, and hurriedly led the team to chase after him. Behind them, the two sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, Lu Yan stuck out his tongue and whispered, "Sister, you are so bad!" It turned out that although Zhihua was telling the truth, she was pointing in the opposite direction. Putting her index finger to her lips, Zhihua made a "shhhh

The young man just now was actually not a thief, but Shen Ze, the son of the Duke of Weiguo. He is handsome, with a red mole between his eyebrows but not feminine, and he is handsome. The ladies of the boudoir in Beijing do often talk about Shen Ze secretly, he has outstanding appearance, and when he was still in his infancy, he got the fortune-telling comment of the green lantern master "This son will become a great weapon in the future", plus the Duchess of Weiguo is dignified and virtuous, approachable, which lady in the boudoir does not want to marry into the Shen family? Zhihua had never seen Shen Ze, but she remembered that it was about this time in her previous life, and the news that the prince of Weiguo was infected with a cold came out of the capital, and everyone didn't take the news to heart at that time, who knew that four months later, that is, in March next year, the prince would die. Wei Guogong was devastated, and died of illness not long after. Inheriting Wei Guogong was his concubine Shen Pei, in his previous life, Aunt Zhou Fuzheng, and Zhixiang later married Shen Pei's younger brother Shen Hao as a concubine.

Seeing Shen Ze who is such a wolf today, and then contacting the major events that happened in the previous life, how could Zhihua not guess that there was another hidden story in the past. Because of her own experience, Zhihua had no good impression of concubines and concubines, and helped Shen Ze without hesitation. She has already helped if she can help, what happened to the Weiguo Mansion, whether Shen Ze can change his fate in the future, these are not something she can manage, so she will leave this matter aside and stop thinking about it.
