Chapter 351: Stranger in Just Two Months (16)
At this point, Xiao Er saw that Nangong Hai threw the conversation to him like this, so he replied with a smile again and again: "Yes...... Or is this guest officer right, this is now...... The world is not very peaceful, after the capital has strengthened the garrison, our small post station business is not as good as before, although the post station is under the direct jurisdiction ......of the imperial court, but we also want to open the door to do business, you see, this is now how deserted the post station, that with the previous come, there will be an endless stream of people coming and going. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter what we are doing now, we have to report to the people above, otherwise it is really not good, please forgive me...... We don't want to ...... either. ”
"Uh...... Forget it....... Nangong Xue saw that the shopkeeper was so sad, and subconsciously looked at the deserted surroundings, so she had no choice but to give up, so she waved her hand lightly and said, "I ......just said that, and I didn't mean to embarrass you." Since it's strictly controlled now, let's listen to the above...... Let's listen to what the people above say....... ”
"Thank you for your understanding, thank you for the two of you, the little one is here for us, thank you......." When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly replied politely, "That...... The two of you sit down first, and the younger one will go and give you a new pot of tea to ....... ”
"Okay......," Nangong Hai replied with a slight nod. After saying that, Xiao Er picked up the teapot on the table and went to the back kitchen. After the shopkeeper left, Nangong Xue said softly, "Brother really can't see that this Chen Zhao is really one step faster...... ”
"Hey...... There's no way, the emperor must be worrying about these things now...... There are 800,000 people in the city, how can you say this can be compared to the two or three million people called by Chen Zhao? Nangong Hai replied lightly.
"Then you said that if you count our grandfather's gang of men and horses, plus the army of the generals, it should be fine, right?" Nangong Xue asked softly.
"Our grandfather's people are all good, and there is no problem with one top ten, but this young master is ...... Hanging, in case it doesn't make sense, it's really far water can't save the near fire...... Nangong Hai said, "I hope our party can persuade this young master this time......." Xiaoxue, it's all up to you....... ”
“……。” When she said this, Nangong Xue lowered her head slightly, and held the teacup in her hand without saying a word.
Just when these two brothers and sisters were whispering to their colleagues, the shopkeeper came to a corner tower in the backyard, he went straight up to the corner tower, and then knocked on the door and said, "Lord Dong, are you there?" There's something I want to tell you ....... ”
After a while, I could hear the response, "Hmm...... Come on in....... As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper gently pushed the door open and walked in respectfully.
I saw a young student sitting in front of the bookcase holding a book leisurely looking through it, watching the shopkeeper walk in, he looked at the book in his hand intently, and complained lightly: "Just say something quickly...... When you're done, go out and get busy with your business, don't disturb me reading ....... Really, I don't know what the court thinks, so I was brought from a third-grade official to this small broken post station to be in charge. What is there to manage in this little broken station......? Every day is a trivial matter, and I am still upset...... I really don't know when such a day will be a head....... ”
After hearing the complaints of Master Dong, the shopkeeper also cried bitterly in his heart: "You are not happy to stay, we are not happy to do this all day long...... What is this called...... ”
Although it was a pang of distress in his heart, the shopkeeper still respectfully reported to him: "Lord Dong is like this...... There are two guest officers outside today, and they want to rent the horses of our post station for ......, what do you think should be done? So should we borrow or not borrow the station? ”
"...... to lease horses?" When this Lord Dong heard this, he couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper curiously, and asked, "Did they say what they wanted to do?" ”
"I didn't say anything specific, I just said that I would return the ...... as soon as I finished the work." The shopkeeper's reply.
"I'll return the ...... as soon as I'm done?" Master Dong thought for a moment, and then said, "It seems that these two people shouldn't just run away after asking for a horse as mentioned above, eh...... But just to be on the safe side,...... In this way, you take me to meet these two people, I ask them in detail, if it is really not the escape situation that the person above said, then it is another matter, this last time I borrowed a horse from the person above and never gave it back, I was still forced by the person above to count it for a long time, this time I can no longer rent horses casually...... ”
"Okay...... Then please come and ...... with the little one. The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and as he spoke, he led the Lord Dong to meet the two guest officers.
As soon as he arrived in this hall, the shopkeeper introduced him to Lord Dong and said, "My lord, these two guest officers want to rent horses from our post station ......." ”
"...... these two?" This Lord Dong glanced at the situation and said.
"Yes......." The shopkeeper nodded again and again.
After saying that, Nangong Hai and Nangong Xue raised their heads slightly curiously and looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "What's the situation with the shopkeeper?" Who is this ......? ”
"Oh yes, you see I forgot to introduce ...... to you both." After hearing Nangong Hai's inquiry, the shopkeeper suddenly patted his head, and then hurriedly introduced, "This is our steward Dong Zhizhong Dong." Now that the big and small affairs in our post station have to withstand the nod of Lord Dong, then we dare to do it, otherwise everything will be avoided ...... talk. ”
"Oh...... That's right....... Nangong Hai nodded lightly and responded, "Then you told you about renting horses before, right?" ”
"Well, I said ......." The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "Our Lord Dong is also here for this matter...... ”
"Good ......." Nangong Hai nodded slightly when he heard this, but just as he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Nangong Xue on the side, this Nangong Xue looked at the Dong Zhizhong in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt a sense of déjà vu, and this Dong Zhizhong also looked at Nangong Xue The two of them also felt as if they had met, but they couldn't remember it for a while, so the two of them looked at each other like this. When Nangong Hai saw this scene, he asked, "Xiaoxue...... What are you looking at? Why are you still stunned? (To be continued.) )
