Chapter 102: The Garden

It is precisely because of this that Yan Eighteen took the initiative to come and informed Qi Xuanhui in advance that he could not bring too many people when entering the mountain.

Instead of according to what he originally planned, let Qi Xuanhui be at the mountain pass, immersive, and then make a choice for everyone.

Driven by the powerful force of longing for freedom, Yan Eighteen finally compromised with Qi Xuanhui, but he still couldn't help but give this one another choice question.

Most of this move was Yan Eighteen's subconscious self-protection, but deep in Yan Eighteen's heart, he was still very eager that Qi Xuanhui could choose to trust him once.

In this kind of major matter facing the choice of fate, no one dares to take it lightly, Yan Eighteen asked himself, he has not trusted anyone for a long time, a long time.

However, because of Gao Dengshan, an old man, and because he saw from Gao Dengshan what he had dreamed of countless times, he was willing to try again and try to believe it again.

The mentality gradually changed little by little, and Yan Eighteen, the corners of his lips pulled out a relieved smile, and his eyes were unprecedentedly bright, and the arrogance of his youth was naturally revealed.

He said to Qi Xuanhui, who frowned lightly: "Childe, I don't want to mention any requirements now, but after we come out of the mountains, I really have a few small thoughts in Xia, and I want you to fulfill it." ”

"But those things are insignificant for you, so you don't need to worry about it, just recuperate."

"Our trip is not a smooth road, and the road is very difficult. Please also have a mental preparation, childe. ”

Qi Xuanhui has been carefully observing the other party's expression in this conversation with Yan Eighteen, and he is using his decades of experience to evaluate whether what this person will say is sincere or perfunctory?

After a long time, he bowed his head slightly, "Well, since Mr. has said it, it's just a gesture, then it's time to do it." My son will definitely help you achieve what you want, sir. ”

"As for the difficult road. I can also imagine that Ben Gongzi was enlightened at the age of three, that is, he studied literature early and practiced martial arts later. Although he is not a martial arts master. But the basic physical strength is still there. ”

"But you say so. I'm still a little worried, Master Ran and Second Master Cui, they are an old man. One is weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive when the time comes."

Yan Eighteen saw Qi Xuanhui's face embarrassed, lowered his head and groaned slightly, raised his head and asked, "Childe, dare to ask, why did you bring these two with us?" ”

"I always feel that this is not a real sightseeing tour, and you really don't need to take everyone with you."

"I sincerely suggest that the things you will see on this trip are too important, and secrecy is the most important thing."

Qi Xuanhui sighed lightly when he heard this, "Sir, I think you also know that the identity of the master is special, and he himself is the most worried about the country and the people, he has already taken the initiative to propose to me, I want to follow us and take a look, so that I can open the gorgeous coat of Jiangzhou City's singing and dancing, and get a glimpse of the inside." ”

"I'm thinking about it, the identity and status of the master are there, if the truth he sees can prove that it was all done by the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, with his character, he must find justice for those people who have been abused and harsh, indirectly, it can also be regarded as a strong alliance of ours, right?"

"As for Mr. Cui Er, it is a little selfish thought of this son, who wants to take him to act together, and after the major events are settled in the future, the reward of the imperial court will naturally be indispensable to him."

"If it's really a difficult road, why don't you let them go? If something happens, I can't bear it. ”

The corners of Yan Eighteen's lips were slightly raised, and he smiled and suggested to Qi Xuanhui, who was undecided: "Childe, instead of you thinking hard here, why don't you ask the two of them in person?" ”

"If you can listen to the commands on the road, the safety is completely guaranteed, but the road is hard, do you think the two of them will be afraid of the hard work and not go?"

Qi Xuanhui was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. for mentioning something, it's really a fan of the authorities, I'll go and ask them in person later, if they still insist on going, then it's better for us not to take them there, right?" ”

Yan Shibai smiled and stroked his palms and said: "Yes, it is this truth, the son is really exquisite, and he can understand it at one point."

The two talked very much, Qi Xuanhui saw that Yan Eighteen was in a very good mood, so he simply sent someone to invite Gao Dengshan over, and the three of them had dinner together, listening to Gao Dengshan talk about interesting things about other countries, and it was also interesting.

After the pair of friends said goodbye and left, Qi Xuanhui sat in the circle chair in the bedroom, silent, and his mind couldn't help but flash quickly, the bits and pieces of pictures in recent days.

It's just a few days, things have taken such a major turn, Yan Shibai has gone from the initial resistance to defense, and now he has withdrawn his heart and is willing to take the initiative to cooperate.

This psychological process is really not so easy to figure out, Yan Eighteen's mental defense is so unbreakable, it can't be broken with just a few words.

However, this partial student is so neat and neat, and he turned this straight bend around, and from this point of view alone, this person is a man who can pick up and put it down.

This incident touched Qi Xuanhui not small, there are too many things that have been changed in the first life of rebirth

The next day, while resting in a small town at noon, Qi Xuanhui asked Master Ran and Cui Yongzhong for their opinions.

The answers of these two people were quite consistent, and they both said that they were not afraid of difficult roads and were willing to follow them into the mountains.

Master Ran's decision was expected by Qi Xuanhui, and it was a bit surprising that Cui Yongzhong actually insisted on going along.

However, no matter what made Cui Yongzhong so insistent, the matter that plagued Qi Xuanhui anyway was solved so smoothly.

From here to Jiangyuan County, there are still two and a half days to go, and if it goes well, the walk is also very fast. After all, there are pipelines all the way, and the rugged mountain roads are not too much.

This is still because Qi Xuanhui and their horses are too many, and it is not good to take a boat and take the waterway, otherwise it will be more than a day to go down the river on this way.

When they arrived in Jiangyuan County, the people who came to explore the way and inquire about the specific situation in the local area had already done a good job of accommodation.

The leader of this team is called Gong Keshun. His father was General Huwei. Admiral Xue's deputy is also the standard son of a noble family in the capital.

When he arrived at Jiangyuan County, he first took his brothers around the most prosperous area of the county. There are four or five inns alone. But I really think so. The environment of these inns is too bad, and they are not worthy of the noble master!

Of course, his vision is a bit high. This is inseparable from his family background.

None of these can be seen, and a better realm cannot be found for a while, so what should I do?

Gong Keshun is a brain, and immediately took people to a teahouse, ordered a table of dried fruit snacks, and soon used dozens of dollars to find out the name and residence of the richest man in the county.

After eating and drinking, Gong Ke followed them on the horse and went straight to the destination.

When he arrived at Dai's house, Gong Keshun took out Cao Mu's name card, and he didn't just have Cao Mu's name card on him, he even had one of Master Ran's.

After all, when you go out to do errands, you need to be flexible, and some preparations that should be done must be done in advance.

Seeing the master Dai, Gong Keshun was straightforward, and reported the identity of Master Cao San of the Ming'an Hou Mansion, and by the way, he told the joyful Master Dai that he wanted to find a quiet and clean garden.

Because of the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many dignitaries and aristocrats from all over the country every year, bringing their families to play here, and next to those famous landscapes, there are often people who come to stay overnight.

These people are either famous, rich, status, or seniority, all of them have high vision, and no matter how good the inn is, they don't think it's like that.

Simply, these people thought of other ways, these wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River have rich families, have more money and no land, so they have to build several exquisite villas.

Live here today, and go there tomorrow to relax, anyway, our house is a yard, isn't it?

These noble old ladies and gentlemen came up with the idea of these courtyards, and they paid handsomely to rent these exquisite villas.

Because firstly, these families are generous, secondly, they can bring some unimaginable benefits to the host's family, and thirdly, they can also have one more capital to talk about when relatives and friends sit together.

Such a thing that is good for both parties, isn't that an instant hit?

The Dai family is the richest man in Jiangyuan County, and the third master of their family is also a petty official of the six grades in the nearby county.

Master Dai's business has been done in most of the Dajing Dynasty, and he understands these things.

In the past, the other garden at home did not receive distinguished guests, but it was all in Meiqingjian and Jinsixia, a famous place like Jinsixia, and it was really the first time in this small county.

And this is still a distinguished guest from the capital, the third master of the Ming'an Hou Mansion, Miss.

Oops hey! The third brother of his family is a six-grade official, and the Dai family is already a family with a head and a face in Jiangyuan County, to put it bluntly, even the county lord has to give some face.

It's a Hou Ye! and Xuanping Hou are both an official rank!

Not to mention this Marquis of Ming An, or the favored minister of the emperors of the two dynasties, and the real power faction, that is really a good thing that will only be encountered by good luck, right?

My God, Master Dai felt that happiness came too suddenly, it was like a big pie falling from the sky, and he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, that was called an excitement, that was an honor!

This person was a little unfavorable to speak, and he stammered and began to say, how good their family's garden is, and how suitable the geographical environment is, without even stumbling up, he agreed to lend the garden to the Cao family.

Gong Keshun walked on the front foot, and Master Dai asked someone to invite Mrs. Dai over, and the husband and wife combined, which made their own housekeeper and backyard mother.

Let the two of them bring enough people, hurry to the other garden, and pick up the inside and outside to give a new look.

In the courtyard, the porch was replaced with bright flowers, and in the courtyard prepared for the lords, sons, and ladies, even the bedding curtains and curtains were replaced with new ones.

The only good thing is that this Mrs. Dai is a young lady from a scholarly family, and the mother who serves her is also edified, and she is a little eye-catching, and she didn't get some vulgar objects such as red peonies and gold-edged begonias.

It was a special instruction to let the maids make the room where the two young ladies rested elegant and clean, and would rather be simple and clear, rather than add snakes and make them look different, but annoy the guests.

As for the errand that he had to deal with Master Dai when he entered the other garden, it was naturally taken over by Master Cao San.

Qi Xuanhui entered the other garden, and Gong Keshun was able to do his job, and immediately asked Wang An to take fifty taels of silver, a newly built Qingying sword in the palace this year.

As for the silver, it was rewarded to Gong Keshun's team for drinking, and as for the Qingying Sword, it was awarded to Gong Keshun alone.

After he settled Master Ran, he was also quite concerned, and walked around and looked at this exquisite and beautiful garden.

Under this look, Qi Xuanhui really felt that the Dai family was just the richest man in a small county, but if you look at their family's garden, it was not only much larger than their house in Jiangzhou City, but the layout was also much more cumbersome and complicated.

The owner of this house, apparently still a vassal and elegant master, along the way, whether it is the plaque on the porch of the courtyard, or on the rockery, are invited different people to come to inscribe.

Although Qi Xuanhui didn't know most of the names of these inscriptions, looking at these fonts that flashed brilliance, he could also think that these people who wrote down must be people who were a little famous in Fang Dayuan, and they were still a little talented.

Thinking of Master Cao San's words, in the near future, I am afraid that he will also be involved in it, Qi Xuanhui couldn't help but be very happy, he shook his fan happily, turned his face and asked Meng Zelang, "How is it, this Gong Keshun is not bad, right?" I said that this person is a talent, you still don't believe it, now that you can see other people's ability to do things, don't you say goodbye to me? ”

Meng Zelang said with a smile: "If you want to transfer him to you, your subordinates naturally have to think about it carefully, they only listened to what you said before, and their subordinates didn't see it with their own eyes." ”

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing, but your subordinates also understand why you don't want him."

Qi Xuanhui nodded again and again, "His status is not low in the capital, but it is not too high, and it is just right to call me around." ”

"And he is rarely smart, he is very flexible in doing things, and he is not rigid at all, which can be seen from his visit to Jiangyuan County this time."

"And the old lady of the Gong family also followed the emperor in the year, although his father's official position is very sensitive, but now Ding Wei is at home, and he is transferred over at this time, and someone in the province will talk about their family." (To be continued......)
