Chapter 54: Different
Compared with the fiery scene of visiting Qiao's Mansion after the last donation, this time Qiao's Mansion seems to have more solemnity and majesty, it is just a merchant's residence, but it always gives people a kind of princely and general's nobility, no matter who it is, when passing by in front of Qiao's Mansion, he always shows Xiàn very respectful.
The Yu family, the Chen family, and the Bi family have long been thinking of visiting Ningzhou, and some time ago, due to the relationship between the topics on the door of the Qiao family, they could only send people to hang around in front of the Qiao Mansion a few times, and hand over the greeting posts every once in a while, maybe they would have the opportunity to be received by the eldest lady of the Qiao family.
But now a Qiao family who dared to clash head-on with the prince, and then retreated with his whole body, has completely opened up the gap with them, if it was before, they would constantly inquire about what kind of background this Qiao family has, what kind of strength it has, but now, when they have felt that this gap is too big for them to reach, all they have is fear and hard to please.
As before, when the door of Qiao's Mansion was opened, there was always a stupid-looking man standing at the door, stretching his waist lazily, wearing a brand new family clothes and rolling up his sleeves, revealing a pair of dark and strong arms.
Stunned, he glanced at both sides of the street, today the gate of Qiao's house is finally very quiet, in the past, he wanted to solve problems, he wanted to learn words, and he didn't see anyone who came to visit.
"Hey, hey..."With a smirk, Erlenzi took out two spades from his bag, put them in his mouth, and chewed them rattling, and then began to lean against a stone lion by the gate.
"Second master is early!"
After a while, a vegetable farmer with a burden walked up to the gate and shouted in his ear carefully.
Erlenzi opened his eyes in a daze, glanced sideways at the vegetable farmer, turned sideways, changed his posture, and then closed his eyes again, and said vaguely: "The one who delivers the vegetables goes through the back door, this is the rule, don't run to the front door to hang around." ”
"Hey, hey... Save... Save... But second master, it's not early, and the back door of your mansion hasn't opened yet! Second master, do you think you can be accommodating once, the little old man is still busy going back. ”
Erlenzi's eyes widened, and he was about to speak, but this fair-faced vegetable farmer quietly took out a big money bag and quietly stuffed it into Erlenzi's arms, and whispered: "Little Lao'er is a descendant of the Yu family, and there is nothing else, this little meaning is a little tea money that my lord gave to the second master." ”
Erlenzi also worked as a subordinate in the previous Ye Mansion for three years, and this is the first time that someone has given him the benefit of such a gatekeeper, he took the money bag stuffed to him by this vegetable farmer dressed as a vegetable farmer and shook it vigorously a few times, it seems that the weight is not light.
Seeing Erlengzi's appearance, there was a trace of disdain hidden in the vegetable farmer's eyes, but his face was flattering: "My master doesn't have any special requirements, I just hope that the second master will often say good things about our Yu family in Qiao Niangzi's ear in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, Erlenzi's face that was still smirking just now suddenly sank, and he threw the money bag in his hand indifferently: "Take your things and get out of here, don't let me see you in the future, otherwise your leg will be broken..."
"You..."
The old man of the vegetable farmer was about to drink angrily, but when he thought that this was in front of the gate of Qiao's house, if he made a fuss, he would not get better, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the anger in his heart, and hummed: "You are just a watchdog, you will still have a face if you give you face!" Hmph..."
Erlenzi didn't care about his vicious words, but laughed hehehe, and said proudly: "The watchdog knows that my eldest lady has been very busy recently, and I don't have time to pay attention to your jade family, and when my eldest lady is free, the eldest son of your jade family will be the next Huang eldest son who will fall to the ground...
Well, this matter is within the scope of my watchdog, and it should be mentioned in the ears of my eldest lady a few more times, lest my eldest lady forget about your eldest young master of the Yu family. ”
"You..."
Erlengzi's words startled this old man, if it was really because of this matter that Qiao Yue remembered the Yu family, he would not be able to please the housekeeper of the Yu family.
Judging from the current situation, his master really doesn't even have the qualifications to ask to see Qiao Yue, let alone fight with the Qiao family, no one wants to be remembered by Qiao Yue at this time.
The old man who walked two steps sighed in his heart, the current Ye family, they can't even afford to offend a fool who guards the door, and he sighed in his heart, thinking about whether to go back and apologize to Erlengzi, take a soft or something, and don't lose a piece of meat anyway.
Just thinking about it, a long queue on the street not far away walked solemnly towards Qiao's house, this Steward Xie of the Jade Mansion hid sideways in an alley, knocked on a small wooden door, and said, "Young Master, I'm back." ”
The wooden door opened, and what came out was a man with a yellowish complexion and a short and thin body, this person was Yu Luan, the eldest son of the Yu family, who had already mixed up with a subordinate of the Qiao family, which made him really faceless.
He said, "How? Is it done? ”
Steward Xie lowered his head and said, "Big young master, it's too much to deceive people, it's just too much, it's just a watchdog, even if he's so domineering, what kind of thing is he..."
Yu Luan shook his head helplessly, he wanted to see Qiao Yue at the beginning, but at this time, he had already lowered his posture to talk to a subordinate of Qiao Mansion, but he didn't expect the situation to be like this.
Sighing, he was about to leave, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a large group of people passing by the street.
Yu Luan walked up curiously, looking at this team, the person sitting in the sedan chair in the middle must be a big man, and the sturdy guards on both sides are not comparable to those wine bags and rice bags in the Ningzhou Yamen.
Wondering who this person would be, the team stopped when they walked to the door of Qiao's Mansion in front.
A man dressed solemnly and wearing a square hat walked out of the front of the team, took out a greeting note from his arms in a proper manner, and said to Erlenzi, who was still lying on the stone lion: "Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng, visit your young lady..."
This man's face is calm, and there is a bit of majesty in it.
The person who came shouted out was Wei Zheng's official position, but it was a very formal visit, and the official of the dynasty from Yipin came to visit with an official identity, in this case, the Qiao family had no reason to refuse to leave.
Yu Luan, who was not far away, trembled in his heart again, and shook his head helplessly, the first rank master had to use his official identity to ask for a meeting, in order to meet, a family like their Yu family was nothing, and it was completely whimsical to want to see Qiao Yue.
He sneered, he said: "Let's go, this time is different from the past, let's go back and give all the family property, I just hope that Qiao Niangzi can show mercy to my Yu family." ”
Yu Luan, who was depressed, was about to leave, but unexpectedly, at this time, the words of Erlenzi, who was leaning on the stone lion, almost frightened him and fell to the ground.
I saw that Erlenzi didn't even glance at the man shouting in front of the team, but still squinted his eyes and said lazily: "What the hell is Doctor Yushi?" No, no, no... Can my eldest lady be seen by anyone? ”R1152
