When Gao Yu returned to the Taiwei Mansion, it was already dark. The subordinate who greeted him at the main gate told him that Su Wan was waiting for him in the main hall of the house.

Slightly surprised, he walked straight to the main hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Gao Yanei and Su Wan sitting at a table, Su Wan seemed to be talking, Gao Yanei shrugged his head and listened absentmindedly.

Seeing Gao Yu enter the door, Su Wan stood up and shouted, "Uncle Gao Shi." ”

Gao Yu walked to the main seat of the table and sat down, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "When did Xiaowan come to Bianliang?" ”

Su Wan replied softly: "I arrived in Bianliang a few days ago, settled down, dealt with some trivial matters, and came to visit Uncle Shi." ”

Gao Yu picked up the teapot on the table, poured it into the teacup and took a sip, and asked, "I just saw that you seem to be counting the world, did this rabbit cub do something bad while I was away?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Yanei suddenly perked up, and stared at Su Wan with wide eyes.

Su Wan didn't even look at him, and said lightly: "As soon as Uncle Shi went out, he went out of the house to molest the women of the good family, and even arrested a woman to the mansion." ”

"Bang!"

Gao Yu slapped his palm on the table and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing! You are my high-ranking son, what kind of woman do you want, you can marry for your father Mingmei, why do you keep teaching and do that dirty thing. ”

Gao Yanei was taken aback by the slap, listened to Gao Yu's words, and cried: "The ministers don't want to marry the daughters of those ministers, they secretly say behind my back that I am a wreck, and they will not marry me if they die." I've learned all of this. ”

In Bianliang, where the class is strict, the marriage of wealthy ministers will pay attention to the right family, and with Gao Yu's current status, his son is married to at least the daughter of a five-rank master.

Most of these women had heard of Gao Yanei's name, and most of them looked down on him, and they were afraid of his torture methods, if their father asked them to marry Gao Yanei, they would try their best to refuse, and even force each other to die.

Gao Yu also knew about these situations, so he had a headache about Gao Yanei's molestion of women from good families, and he didn't dare to let it go, and he didn't want to manage it too much.

Looking at Gao Yanei, whose face was full of tears, Gao Yu sighed and said, "You, you, you are not clean and self-conscious, and you have ruined your reputation." Nowadays, all officials in the DPRK who have a daughter Yunying who is not married are afraid to avoid being a father. If you were half sensible, you wouldn't be where you are now. ”

Su Wan comforted: "Uncle Shide, Shide is still young, as long as he is strictly disciplined in the future and has a correct character, there are still women who are willing to marry him." ”

Gao Yu shook his head: "I am often absent from the mansion, and I have no time to discipline him, and the subordinates in the mansion, who can control him?" ”

Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "In this way, Uncle Shi might as well let him follow me, I have a lot of leisure time now and can watch him." ”

Gao Yu looked at her and asked, "Then ...... your Su family's business?"

Su Wan replied with a chuckle: "Uncle Shi doesn't need to worry, I have arranged trustworthy people to take care of the business of the state capitals, and now I am also a hands-off shopkeeper, so I don't have to do everything myself." ”

Gao Yu was clear about her skills, so she nodded and said to Gao Yu: "It's okay to let you follow the rise and fall of the little evening, and save yourself from idleness all day." ”

Seeing that his father had already finalized the agreement with Su Wan, Gao Yanei had to shrug his head and look like he was resigned to his fate.

After the decision was made, Su Wan suddenly asked, "Uncle Shi, is the Great Song Dynasty ready to join forces with Jin to attack Liao?" ”

Gao Yu nodded: "The Holy Lord has sent an envoy to go to Liaodong from Dengzhou to Liaodong to discuss the matter of attacking Liao. ”

"Then the New Year's coin that will be delivered to Liao next year ......," Su Wan said again.

Su Wan did not hide it, Gao Yu naturally saw her thoughts, and she kindly helped to discipline Gao Yanei, for the sake of the transfer of Liao and Jin Sui coins.

The two families have a deep friendship, Gao Yu doesn't care about her scheming of interest exchange, and said softly: "Xiaowan doesn't need to worry, now the matter of cutting Liao is still in the preparation stage, if you really want to deliver the New Year's coins and the Jin Kingdom in the future, then your Su family will still be the first choice of the imperial merchants." ”

Su Wan thanked him and said, "In this way, I will thank my uncle first." ”

......

Unlike the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty did not impose curfews. The nightlife of the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty is very rich, and there is "a night market until the end of the third watch, and then it will be reopened again on the fifth watch." If you go to a troubled place, you will know endlessly".

Especially in the recreation places such as Goolan Washe, regardless of wind and rain, cold and summer, the sheds look at people, and they are like this every day.

A few days ago, Xu Ziling often went to the night market, but this evening, he heard what he said, so he didn't dare to go out easily.

However, Ming Xia suddenly came and asked him to go to the night market, which made him a little dilemma, and he wanted to find a reason to excuse himself. But thinking of Ming Xia's arrest by Gao Ya during the day, he still decided to accompany her to relax.

Ming Xia originally wanted to call Lin Chong to join his wife, but Lin Niangzi was quiet, and Lin Chong had something to do tomorrow morning, so she didn't go.

What made Ming Xia strange was that Yue'er, who had always been active, didn't even go, but just played in the yard with a cricket jar.

took Chixiao, Xu Ziling took Ming Xia out of the Lin Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, Xu Ziling quickly turned his head left and right and glanced around, but he didn't find anyone following him nearby, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing his thief-eyed appearance, Ming Xia smiled lightly, and thought of what he found when he made his bed during the day, and teased: "Ziling, in the afternoon, I will go to Brother Lin's mansion to ask questions, saying that there are thieves around here, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

Xu Ziling turned to look at her smiling, shook his head and said, "How is it possible!" ”

Ming Xia reached out and straightened the folds on his clothes, and whispered, "Then where did those things under your bed come from?" ”

Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and scratched his hair: "What is it, why don't I know?" ”

Seeing him playing a scoundrel, Ming Xia smiled and said, "It's okay." I all know, what kind of Gu poison did you fall for like this. But how did you steal so much? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ziling is not very easy to pretend, and explained softly: "Since I entered Bianliang, as long as I don't have any money in my account every day, I will feel very uncomfortable, so I went out every day to get some back, but I didn't expect to slowly 'take' so much." ”

Ming Xia stroked her forehead and reminded: "Then you find time to burn all those unwanted bags, if someone else finds out, it will be troublesome." ”

Xu Ziling said suddenly: "Yes, I almost forgot, I will burn it when I go back at night." Mingxia, you are really my virtuous helper. He said that he wanted to take her hand.

But seeing Ming Xia running a few steps forward, avoiding his claws, he looked back and smiled: "Let's go, I want to listen to the opera, I haven't listened to it for a long time." ”

Xu Ziling sighed twice and followed.

The two walked for a long time, and two more figures came to the entrance of the alley. The two figures, one fat and one thin, were the two catchers before.

"Are you sure it's him? That's right? Skinny asked quickly.

"Brother Li, can't you believe my eyes? It's definitely him. Fat Catcher said firmly.

Skinny Catcher quickly looked into the distance, "Okay, let's go, follow along, and see what they do." He walked towards the figure in the crowd in the distance. Fat Catcher hurried to follow.

This pair of fat and thin catchers is a well-known combination in Kaifeng Mansion, the thin one is called Li Si, and the fat one is called Zhang Shan. These two people are not only excellent in martial arts, but also have their own special skills, and with each other's complementarity, the investigation of the case can be described as fast.

In martial arts, Li Si is good at light skills, can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and the sound of convergence is not human, while Zhang Shan has a huge force, can open the bow of ten buckets, and occasionally can throw Li Si on the roof if necessary.

In terms of skills, Li Si has an unforgettable image memory, as long as he meets someone, he can draw that person's face. Zhang Shan has far-sighted vision, and even in the dark night, as long as there is a little light, he can see people's faces clearly.

They followed Xu Ziling and the others for a long time from a distance, and witnessed them enter a hook fence, Li Si and the two of them disguised themselves a little, and slowly walked towards the hook fence.

In the hook bar, Xu Ziling took Ming Xia to find a place to sit down. At this time, it was still early, but there were not many people in the Goolan column, only a scholar telling some folk stories on the stage.

After listening for a while, Xu Ziling was bored and wanted to change places, but saw that Ming Xia was listening attentively, so he had to look around to pass the time.

After a long time, there were more people in the hook bar, and the scholar seemed to be a little unable to control the scene, and an old man in a white cloth robe with a pu fan walked out from behind the stage and changed to a scholar.

Seeing the old man on the field, the applause around him suddenly rang out.

Someone asked: "Zheng Xuejiu, can there be a popular chapter to explain today?" ”

The old man waved his fan and said with a smile: "Today, the old man will tell three or two small stories first, and then a few descendants will perform some novel acrobatics for you, so that you will be worth the trip." ”

"There is Zheng Xuexue's words, but I am hungry and have to read it today."

"That's that, to make Zheng Xuezhi so sure, it must be a superb skill that he has never seen before."

"Don't say it, let Zheng Xue talk first."

Hearing this, the people who were talking about it suddenly fell silent.

Xu Ziling and the others were so interested in the old man, and they cheered up and prepared to listen to what he had to say.

Zheng Xuezhu took a sip of tea and began to tell.

"It is said that there is a general surnamed Zeng who is good at chess. One day, he was leading the army to the frontier to fight, passing by a fork in the road, an old man put down a chessboard, and behind the old man there was a banner, on which were written 'the world's first chess player' six gilded characters.

When General Zeng saw this, he was furious, and stopped his army, vowing to fight with this old man for a few games and rub his prestige. The old man saw that General Yi stopped, but his face did not change, and he played three games with him. Guess what? ”

Someone said: "Didn't the general be killed without a piece of armor?" ”

Zheng Xuexue shook his head.

Another humane: "Is it possible to be five or five?" ”

Zheng Xueyu shook his head again, raised his voice and said, "General Zeng easily won three games in a row. ”

"Sure enough, that old man is a person who sells his reputation."

"I have known this for a long time, the so-called Wen Wu Wu Wu Wu The old man's posture is shameful. ”

"Don't worry, listen to Zheng Xuexuan's words."

The crowd fell silent again. Zheng Xue said slowly:

General Zeng defeated the old man, was in a good mood, and led the army to continue to fight to the frontier. After several hard battles, General Zeng finally regained the lost territory and returned to Beijing with his triumphant army.

Passing by the fork in the road again, the old man was still there, and the banner that said 'The No. 1 Chess Player in the World' was still hanging high.

General Zeng was furious, dismounted, and wanted to kill him for a few more rounds. However, this time, General Zeng was sweating profusely, racking his brains and losing three games in a row.

After that, General Zeng asked the old man: 'Since my chess skills are far superior to mine, why did you deliberately lose to my hands before?' ’

But I heard the old man laugh and said: "Before the general set out on the expedition, if he rubbed the general's sharp spirit, and thus suffered a disaster, wouldn't the old man be a great crime, and now the general has returned with a great victory, and the old man will destroy the general's prestige, what should he do?" ’”

After that, Zheng Xuezhu looked at everyone and smiled without saying a word.
