Inside, the green who dropped the chain weakly said that the relatives who were broken and tortured came back to see the ending on the 19th or 20th. Crawl away ^_^ with the lid on your head

------Off topic------

Zhou Boyan stepped into the door, and only Hong Wei and Gu Shi followed. Four brocade guards remained outside.

They walked in a line in the dark night, and their steps were very light. After walking for a while, Qiao Han stopped in front of a door and listened to the movement around him. There was no sound except for the faint sound of the wind. He took out the key, unlocked it, and slowly pushed it open. Then, he walked in and walked around for a while, and then returned to the door and made a gesture of please.

In the dark, under the eaves of the porch, Qiao Han stood straight. Seeing Zhou Boyan come out, he didn't speak, just led the way in front. Every grass, tree, brick and tile in this house was in his mind, and even if there was no light in the night, he could tell the direction and not trip over anything. Qiao Han walked in the front, followed by a brocade-clothed guard, then Zhou Boyan, and then Hong Wei, Gu Shishi, and the other three brocade-clothed guards.

Zhou Boyan didn't speak, touched the sleeve arrows on the left and right, and then took the fur coat and put it on, tied the belt and walked out.

Gu Shishi also replied in a low voice, "I'm ready, I'm waiting under the eaves." ”

Zhou Boyan casually combed a black hair with his fingers, and then it was scattered. He took the hat handed by Gu Shi and put it on directly, and asked in a low voice, "Is Qiao Han ready?" ”

Gu Shishi, who was sleeping in the ear room, also got up. He pushed the door into the house, came to the bed, and helped hand over the clothes.

Twenty-five, just after midnight, Zhou Boyan opened his eyes, pushed away the quilt on his body, and put it on in the dark.

His identity as an agent is no longer known except for the Son of Heaven and the person who connected him. The Son of Heaven was able to inform Yan Gongzi of his identity, and let Yan Gongzi come and live in his house with the "Son of Heaven Order". It can be seen from this how heavy is the weight of the young man in front of the Son of Heaven! Yan Gongzi has a lot of trust from the Son of Heaven! He didn't dare to think anything about it except to serve wholeheartedly.

Qiao Han is a wealthy businessman, but he is actually an undercover agent, so he naturally knows a lot of taboos. Therefore, Yan Gongzi did not mention the purpose of coming, and he didn't ask much, he just wanted to serve Yan Gongzi with all his heart, and he was very strict with the people below. Yan Gongzi does not call people, he does not allow anyone to trespass into the courtyard where Yan Gongzi lives, and he does not allow anyone to inquire about Yan Gongzi. Although he is the only one who knows the identity of the child, the people below only know the title of "childe", and nothing else knows. But he was still careful and careful, very cautious.

Qiao Han wanted to get close to Yan Gongzi, but because he didn't know much about this son's true temperament, he didn't dare to make a mistake. So, he gladly led the way and took his son to settle in the past. This courtyard was quickly put back by him after he was temporarily convinced, and it is also the best and largest courtyard in the house. He has always been worried that his son will not like this courtyard and will be dissatisfied. At this moment, seeing that the young man looked good, he was relieved.

Zhou Boyan stood up, "Lunch has been served, and rest is important." There's Lord Laujo. ”

Qiao Han hurriedly got up and said, "Childe is a character I can't invite on weekdays, and Childe can't just leave when he enters the door." A quiet courtyard has been prepared in the back, and the son has been tired all the way, so go to rest or eat first? ”

Zhou Boyan raised his hand slightly, "Lord Qiao, please get up." My son suddenly came to disturb, and Master Qiao was able to invite my son in without any guilt, and gave my son convenience, and my son was already grateful. If Master Qiao continues to be so polite, this son will not be able to sit still. ”

Master Qiao led Zhou Boyan through it and came to the main hall of the reception. He invited Zhou Boyan to take a seat, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Qiao Han has seen Gongzi and greeted Gongzi." He and his family greeted him silently in the courtyard, which was a means to protect his son, himself and his subordinates. His family members are not ordinary family members. He is a hidden spy of the Son of Heaven, a person who secretly collects intelligence for the Son of Heaven. Therefore, the people in the palace are naturally the usable people he has recruited. However, although these people are available, he will still be on guard where he should be on guard. In this way, everyone can be safe.

At this time, the two dozen or so family members stood up. They quickly separated left and right, standing in two columns, forming a passage in the middle.

The rich old man, that is, Uncle Qiao in Zhou Boyan's mouth, was happy. This uncle's title is just for others, and he doesn't understand anything, so he naturally bypasses this talk. Although he is the person who the Son of Heaven puts outside, he is far less majestic than the Son of Heaven's personal guard brocade clothes, and even less as the secret agent around the Son of Heaven. Now, he is being held up by the hands of the red man in front of the Son of Heaven, what a courtesy! In his opinion, this is a very face-saving thing. How could he not be happy! Therefore, when he got up, he said excitedly, "Don't dare, don't dare, thank you Childe!" Then he said, "This is not the place to talk, Childe, please." He motioned for the servants to get up.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Boyan was not a little surprised. He accepted this salute calmly, and took a few steps forward, and while holding the middle-aged man dressed as a rich man, he stood up, and said in a non-serious voice, "Uncle Qiao, please get up." Although the younger generation has an official position, he is not wearing an official uniform at the moment, so you don't have to salute. ”

However, the moment the old man closed the door of the mansion and bolted the door, a group of people suddenly appeared. The four of them flashed and stood behind Zhou Boyan, and the others all knelt on their knees and greeted Zhou Boyan silently. These four people were none other than the four brocade guards who left the "Helai Restaurant" first. Among the group of people who knelt on one knee, at the forefront was a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy man, and behind the middle-aged man was a young man or teenager dressed as a family member in four rows.

Zhou Boyan dismounted and led the horse into Qiao's house. The strange thing is that except for the old man who opened the door, no one came to greet the guests, and there was no one after entering the door.

The old man answered twice, muttered something in his mouth, closed the corner door, and disappeared. After waiting for half a pillar of incense, the main entrance opened from the inside. The old man stepped aside with his back bent and said weakly, "Master, please." ”

Gu Shishi grinned, "Old man, we are relatives." My son's surname is Qiao, and he is a distant junior of the lord of the house. Childe has contacted your master by letter, you just have to go in and report it. ”

An elderly man opened the small corner door next to him with his back bent, squinted his eyes and looked at them for a moment, and then asked weakly, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Gu Shishi stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.

Less than a quarter of an hour apart, Zhou Boyan took Gu Shishi and Hong Wei and left the "Helai Restaurant". They rode unhurriedly through the city, and finally stopped at a closed gate with only one "Joe" written on the plaque.

With hot meals and hot dishes, the four-person team was the first to leave the "Helai Restaurant".

Half an hour later, these three people appeared in the largest "Helai Restaurant" in the city. They sat in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, and each of the three parties occupied a table and ordered food. During this period, the three parties did not have any conversation, nor did they make any eye contact.

This arrangement is self-sufficient to hide people's eyes. There was a storm in the court, and there were too many people staring at Zhou Boyan's every move. As a result, he has become more and more low-key, especially when doing things that cannot be publicized.

At noon on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the three horsemen entered the city from the east gate of Yingcheng unhurriedly. These three people are none other than Zhou Boyan and the accompanying Gu Shishi and the chief of the guard, Hong Wei. At the same time, six horsemen entered the city through the west gate, and four more through the south gate. Needless to say, it was the ten people in the brocade guards who entered the city separately. At this moment, they were not wearing the uniform clothes of the brocade guards.

It takes about three days to get there by horse-drawn carriage from Kangxi Town, and it only takes one day to get there by horseback.

In the house, the cleaning of the house also began a year ago. The cleaning of the inner courtyard was arranged by Su's mother. The cleaning work of the second courtyard and the front yard is arranged by the ancient housekeeper. The taste of the New Year is getting closer and closer, and the smiles on everyone's faces have never broken while they are busy.

In addition to arranging all aspects of things, Qingshu also took a needle and thread to make a female celebrity in a little leisure.

Although the former beggars who worked on the wasteland had no wages to receive, she would not be stingy when it was time to be rewarded. She gave three standards, two taels of silver, one tael of silver, and hanging money. The hardest working person and has a certain influence among his peers will receive a red envelope of two silvers; Those who work very hard get a red envelope of one tael of silver; Everything else has to be hung with red envelopes. The personnel in the Grange are three other criteria. As for Steward Zhang on the wasteland, Gu Yuanbao and Li Tie who served as the bookkeeper, and Steward Wu on the Grange, their New Year's red envelope Qingshu had other arrangements.

How to wrap the red envelopes for the New Year, she only gave a standard. The specific person who gets the standard red envelope is determined by Steward Zhang on the wasteland side, and Steward Wu on the Grange side.

Qingshu paid attention to their movements while seizing the time to carry out the New Year's accounts. She personally went to the wasteland and the grange, and the New Year's affairs were properly arranged. This year, there are more than 30 pigs on the farm. A few years ago, I bought ten heads. Five pigs were pulled from the wasteland and slaughtered, and the bits and pieces were almost eaten, and the meat was frozen. Six pigs were killed on the farm, the meat of four pigs was delivered to the house, and the meat of two pigs was kept on the village for himself. You don't have to buy pork outside. Rice, flour, grain and oil, chicken, duck, fish, and wine have been purchased in place, and there is no shortage of everything.

About the stall staff. Qingyang and Qinghao discussed and decided that as long as the family agreed, everyone could go. So, their business of selling couplets began in a lively manner.

The three scholars, Mu, Chuyi and Mozi, were responsible for classifying the couplets that had been dried.

Maizi, Zhou Xing, and Ning Si's two sons, Ning Xiang and Ning Rui. These four people were commanded by Qing Hao and were responsible for drying the written couplets.

Gu Zhesan, the third son of Zhenggu Dashu in Xiaogujia Village, studied in a private school in the town. He followed Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong to write couplets.

Qingyang and the three of them didn't have any opinion on Qingshu's decision, so they enthusiastically recruited their peers Gu Zhesan and Maizi and other little radish heads to come over to help with this matter.

This time, Qing Shu decided not to participate at all, and let them make their own decisions and let them toss and play by themselves.

This is exactly what Qingyang and the three of them are doing. So, the three of them immediately prepared to sell couplets. The first is to write couplets, and then to sell couplets. They planned to write couplets every afternoon and set up a stall to sell couplets in the morning, and the stalls would be set up from tomorrow (twenty-fourth) to twenty-eighth.

Qing Shu saw that the three of them were not wearing hats, and while explaining that Zhou Boyan had urgent things to do, he took them back. In order to make them happy, let them have something to do, and no longer worry about Zhou Boyan's departure, she mentioned that she would continue to sell couplets this year. In fact, they applied for this some time ago, but she didn't agree at that time, and agreed to take them to Jinyang City to play, so they willingly gave up this idea. Unexpectedly, in the end, she took the initiative to approve it herself.

Qingyang was too late for them to get the letter, and when they ran all the way, they heard Qingshu ordering someone to close the door.

Knowing that Zhou Boyan was in a hurry to leave, Qing Shu didn't say anything more. She stood aside and watched Zhou Boyan take his subordinates out of the house with his subordinates, and watched them turn over and get on their horses, and gradually drift away, never to be seen again.

The ancient housekeeper stepped forward to help, took the rope brought by the little girl, tied the knot in twos and threes, and netted the two jars separately. So the two small jars of pickled fish hung on the horse's back.

That's the difference between a man and a woman. When it comes to traveling, women feel that they are at ease when they have all the things they have. Men prefer to travel lightly, thinking that they can solve it with a single qiē with silver in their hands, and they can't wait to walk around empty-handed.

Zhou Boyan felt helpless, and preferred Qingshu's chatter and concern in comparison. Therefore, he smiled and said yes, and motioned for Gu Shishi to take things.

Qing Shu saw it and explained to Zhou Boyan, "This is pickled fish, a unique appetizer to 'Chen Ji' in Jinyang City. You can eat it when it is opened, and you will eat it on your way. Don't worry about it, it tastes good, you'll love it. ”

At this time, Steward Ding hurried over with two small jars. The little girl held the rope in her arms and ran after him.

Qing Shu stared at him, "I prepared some pastries and fruits for you, remember to eat." By the way, the fruit is washed......" she babbled.

Zhou Boyan stretched out his hand, put the fox fur hat on her head, and said, "Don't worry! The stones are all arranged, and I don't lack anything. Just go for a few days, don't worry. ”

Qing Shu motioned for Xiao Juan to give the backpack to Gu Shishi, and quickly glanced at Zhou Boyan a few times. He wore a hat and gloves, and his body was fur. She was much more relieved, but she didn't forget to ask the question, "Have you brought all the clothes with you?" Do you have enough dry food? ”

Zhou Boyan stared at Qing Shu who walked to him with a smile in his eyes, "Why did you come here?" It's a cold day, let's go back quickly! ”

In the open space inside the mansion gate, Zhou Boyan and his party, who were stopped by Xiaoyu, were preparing to go. Gu Shi was in front, leading his horse and Zhou Boyan's horse. The chief of the guard, Hong Wei, led his ten men and stood in a column, holding the reins of their horses. Their saddles were full of blankets, wine gourds, and water hyacinths, and they were all in need.

Something is ready. Xiao Juan picked up her heavy backpack and hurried to the gate of the mansion after Qing Shu.

According to Zhou Boyan's taste, Qingshu turned out a few more snacks. Then, she quickly stuffed the rummaged items into her backpack. In the end, he packed the apples and pears sent by Xiaojuan and stuffed them into his backpack.

As soon as Xiaoya left, Xiaojuan came back with cleaned apples and pears.

When she thought of "Chen Ji", she thought that "Chen Ji" also had a unique pickled fish, and she bought a lot of it this time. This pickled fish is made from decapitated and spiny flesh, and it is cooked and ready to eat. It tastes similar to modern canned fish, and is perfect for taking it out at any time to drink or accompany rice, cold or hot. She immediately instructed Xiaoya, "Go to Mother Su or Steward Ding and ask, where did the pickled fish of "Chen Ji" go?" Hurriedly let the two jars come out, send them to the gate of the house, and bring them to the young man. "One jar contains five catties of pickled fish, and two jars are ten catties. If Zhou Boyan and they missed the accommodation, it would be just enough for them to eat with dry food.

Qing Shu sighed, and the rummaging in his hand did not stop. She turned out all kinds of pastries, some in oil-paper wrappers and some in boxes. She took one of each and set it aside. Flip to a few fried dry goods, mainly nuts and nuts, as well as peanuts specially made by the time-honored brand "Chen Ji" in Jinyang City. She took a bag of each and stacked it aside. After thinking about it for a while, he took another pack of peanuts and put it over.

Seeing Miss's anxious look, the little girl stepped forward to help, "Miss, do you have to open all these burdens?" ”

There are a lot of bulging burdens on the kang. The baggage was full of things brought back from Jinyang City that it was too late to tidy up. She began to unwrap the baggage with her hands and feet, and looked through it for a while.

As she spoke, she entered the inner room and came to the side of the kang. She didn't have time to take off her shoes, so she got on the kang, opened the door of the kang cabinet at the innermost, flipped over to the backpack she had specially sewn some time ago, and took it out. She took her backpack and went down to the ground, and casually put the backpack on the edge of the kang.

When she entered the house, she seemed to remember something again, and she instructed Xiaoyu again, "Hurry up to the porter and see if the young man is gone." If I didn't leave, and I saw that he stopped me, I said that I would go right away. If you go, it is estimated that you haven't gone far, so quickly send someone out to chase it back. ”

Qing Shu returned to his small courtyard and hurriedly instructed Xiao Juan, who came out, to quickly clean ten apples, pears and other fruits.
