When Su Lu woke up, it was already dawn.

The courtyard was noisy and noisy, and all kinds of greetings were endless.

The warm sunlight fell into the room from the window and shone on the head of the bed, making Su Lu feel warm.

The room is still the same, with wooden beds, low stools, and tables for eight immortals, which are still the furnishings before I left Beiyang.

Su Lu sat up, took the robe hanging by the bed, put it on, stepped on his boots, and was about to walk outside.

The door curtain suddenly opened, and Xiao Si'er came over in a panic, "Master Hou, you are awake, I will serve...... You're ready. ”

"Get me something to eat, I'm hungry."

Su Lu commanded.

Xiao Si'er went in a panic.

When Su Lu came out of the room, he saw that the courtyard was full of people carrying boxes and cabinets, and under Su Yun's command, he put one piece of household goods into the hall.

Su Lu asked the mud standing guard next to the door suspiciously: "What's the situation, didn't our house have furniture?" The eldest lady bought these furniture again, and the silver was too much to use. ”

Mud grinned: "Master Hou, these don't cost money, they are all sent." ”

When Su Yun saw Su Lu, he came over with a smile, took Su Lu's arm, and asked for credit with a smile: "These furniture are all sent by merchants, and I don't use a penny." ”

Su Lu's face fell: "Don't we have any money in our family, isn't my money enough to buy these furniture?" ”

Su Yun stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and said cautiously: "Those merchants heard that you had made a great contribution, and they rushed to send it, saying that they wanted to reward the general who saved their lives and family property. ”

"Fooling around"

Su Lu's face changed: "How old are you, you still believe in these, tens of thousands of soldiers who drove Tule, in addition to sending them to me, but also to those soldiers?" Driving out Thule is not the work of my Sulu alone. ”

Su Yun also became unhappy: "Su Ping, Li Kun, they all took it." ”

"Enough"

Su Lu stopped Su Yun, took the cake and water brought by Xiao Si'er, and instructed: "Bring the silver, come with me, take someone's furniture, and send money to someone's house." ”

Su Yun's neck stiffened: "I'm not going"

Su Lu directly grabbed Su Yun's arm: "You have to go." ”

The brother and sister went out of the courtyard, and more than a dozen guards hurriedly followed, and Su Lu commanded: "Go, go to the first one." ”

Nibbling on dry cakes and riding a high-headed horse, Su Lu educated Su Yun and said:

"In the past, our family was poor, but we were poor, and we didn't take other people's things in vain, and people opened shops to do business, but also to make a living, and there was no reason to do loss-making business."

Su Yun pouted and ignored Su Lu, and the guards who protected Su Lu next to him were all thoughtful when they heard these words.

Su Lu continued: "I know you must be thinking in your heart, you don't take advantage of the cheap sent to the door, that's a fool. ”

"Let me tell you, Su Yun, pies won't fall from the sky, if pies really fall, it means that you have made something to the heavens in advance."

Tu Dun'er suddenly said: "Hou Ye is right, you have to lay bait for fishing, and you can't bear the meat to catch the wolf, these people who buy furniture must also have ideas in their hearts." ”

Su Lu finished eating the cake, patted the crumbs on his hands, and reached out to tap Su Yun's forehead:

"Tu Mound Er understands this truth, you, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, the county lord of His Majesty's own title, don't even understand this, go back and study hard for me."

"Arrived"

Su Yun pointed to a furniture store next to the road.

Su Lu turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the mound, and walked into the two-story furniture store.

Xiao Er greeted him attentively and asked with a smile:

"Objectively, what kind of furniture do you want to buy, ready or made-to-order? The furniture we have here is made by the famous master Fu Lu Tan in this county, the appearance is exquisite, the quality is high and the price is good, and the furniture used in Beiyang Houfu is our family. ”

Su Yun, who followed up later, said angrily: "You sent it to the door, who wants to use your furniture!" ”

Xiao Er looked confused.

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and saluted Su Lu with a smile: "This general must be Beiyang Houye, and the little old man Liu Heng has given you a salute." ”

Su Lu stretched out his hand to help Liu Heng up, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is polite, the sister left the furniture of your store, but forgot to give the money, I took her to give the silver." ”

Su Lu waved his hand as he spoke, and a guard came in with a silver bag, took out a few silver beans, and put them on the counter.

The folds on Liu Heng's face seemed to be smiling, and he laughed: "The general is the face of the little old man, those furniture are all given to the general, the general fought for Beiyang and saved the people of a city, a little furniture, not a tribute." ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "Don't shirk the shopkeeper, you are opening the door to do business, I naturally can't take advantage of you in vain, you count, whether this silver is enough." ”

Liu Heng said no, but his subordinates were quick and cleared the silver, and then said cautiously:

"There are still two dollars left, those are made of good nanmu, and this silver is really not enough."

The guards hurriedly took out another silver bean.

Liu Hengle bloomed, and casually handed the silver in his hand to the back: "Lao Lu, put it away, this is the silver given by Beiyang Houye, I want to put it away, offer it up, and keep it as a family heirloom." ”

A spirited old man walked out from behind, took the silver, and was about to walk back when Su Lu stopped him.

"Wait."

Su Lu looked at the old man's back, his face was full of surprise, isn't this General Xiao Cong who has been missing for a long time.

Mud opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Master, this is General Xiao!" ”

Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately called out to the old man: "Master Hou, do you know my fellow?" ”

"I'm not going to hide it, Master Hou, this guy was picked up by me on the way to buy wood in Diaoyin County.

At that time, he was covered in blood, and he thought he was going to die, but it was a cook who insisted on saving him, and he came back to life, but Lao Lu's memory was lost, and he didn't even remember who he was. ”

Lao Lu turned around and waved his hand at Su Lu imperceptibly.

Su Lu was stunned for a moment, but immediately spoke: "I recognized the wrong person, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Mud, blind your dog's eyes, how could this be General Xiao, General Xiao has already died in battle. ”

Su Lu glanced at the mud, then pulled Su Yun and walked out of the door.

"Let's go, go to the next one, and I'll give all the money today."

Out of the furniture store, Su Lu turned over his horse, walked around the street, saw the back door of the furniture store, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the back door.

"Wait a minute, I'll borrow this thatched house for convenience."

"Bang Bang Bang"

Sulu knocked on the back door.

The hidden door immediately opened, and Xiao Cong's wrinkled cheeks were filled with joy, leading Su Lu into the door.

"General Su, it's been a long time, I'm really happy to see you."

Xiao Cong said with a smile.

Su Lu asked suspiciously: "Xiao Shuai, what are you?" ”

Xiao Cong laughed, led Su Lu to find a stool in the backyard, and sat down against the wall.

"I was ambushed by Thule in Xitunling, and all my soldiers were killed, and I rolled off the cliff to escape with my life, but I was also half-dead at that time. It was the cook of this house who took a fancy to me and forced the shopkeeper Li to revive me. ”

"I have been in bed for almost a year before I get better, and I have already confessed my identity to the cook, but she won't let me go."

Xiao Cong paused: "She told me that there are Tulle spies in the upper echelons of the Xuanfu."
