Chapter Forty-Seven: Infernal Affairs and Fine Works
August 14, 13th year of Liyang
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the popularity of the militia's victory over Heifengling finally cooled down in the county, and Yan Kui had time to deal with a private matter.
The residential alley behind Zishi Street
Yan Kui was dressed in a lilac vertical collar regular clothes, carrying seven or eight gift boxes of all sizes in his hand, and according to his memory, he slowly touched a mansion.
Knock, knock, knock
After briefly tidying up his manners and dress, Yan Kui showed a smiling face and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Who?"
A moment later, a pleasant female voice came from afar in the door, followed by a sound of footsteps, the door valve sounded, and the courtyard door opened half sideways, revealing a delicate face, which was Huang Weier, the third daughter of the Huang family, who was in someone's heart.
"Ahh
Huang Wei'er was startled when she saw Yan Kui outside the door, first snorted, and then she didn't know what she thought, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she was stunned for a while.
Huang Wei'er was stunned, Yan Kui didn't get distracted, although he was a little happy that Huang Wei'er came to open the door, but he still looked upright on the surface.
The gift box in his hand was temporarily placed, and Yan Kui freed up his hands to clench his fists: "Yan came uninvited, bothered." ”
Huang Wei'er reacted at this time, her already slightly red face suddenly burned, and she gave Yan Kui a light blessing in a hurry, and hurriedly opened the door to let Yan Kui into the courtyard, and did not forget to call for her parents to come out to welcome the guests.
…………
Inside the hospital
Dong was washing clothes in front of a wooden barrel, and when he heard the words, he got up and saw Yan Kui enter the door, and he was surprised, but he also couldn't care about being rude, and hurriedly beckoned Huang Laoshi in the house to come out, and the couple welcomed Yan Kui to the main hall with joy and awe.
Then, regardless of Yan Kui's excuse, Huang Laoshi personally served tea to Yan Kui, and Dong even took out the pastries that the family was reluctant to eat, and sent them to Yan Kui with two plates.
That is, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the Huang family has prepared some snacks for the festival, otherwise they want to treat Yan Kui well, and there is no such thing at home.
Yan Kui was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Huang Laoshi and his wife, and he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and asked the two to stop working with a wry smile, and at the same time did not forget to change the topic with the gifts he brought.
Sure enough, Yan Kui's move was quite powerful, Huang Laoshi and his wife were flattered and full of joy in the face of Yan Kui's carefully arranged Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, and their mouths said where to make, and their faces were about to smile like a flower.
And Yan Kui wants this effect, he also introduced these gifts with Huang Laoshi and his wife one by one with great interest, what are their advantages and disadvantages, taboo matters, Yan Kui is a messenger, at a glance, he has an in-depth understanding of these gifts, and even directly selected them.
Yan Kui's actions undoubtedly showed his sincerity even more, not to mention that Huang Laoshi and his wife were smiling when they listened, even Huang Wei'er, who was eavesdropping outside the door, had colorful ripples in her eyes, and the soft light was overflowing.
…………
I don't know how the beautiful woman outside the door is Yan Kui, and after breaking the gift with Huang Laoshi and his wife, he cheekily pulled Huang Laoshi and talked about the old uncle.
Dong was so happy to see that he asked the two old men to have a good chat, and he went to ask his daughters to go to the kitchen to prepare meals, Yan Kui couldn't ask for it, and said a few words of trouble to the aunt with a shy face, and then sat and waited for the meal.
Dong Shi was not only not annoyed when she saw this, but she was very happy in her heart, last time she saw that Yan Kui seemed to be interested in her daughter, but she was a little unsure, and now Yan Kui came to send the August festival gift without a head, which just made her confirm her guess.
To tell the truth, Dong's heart is a hundred satisfied with Yan Kui's son-in-law, if she didn't know what kind of person Yan Kui's militia group practice was before, the first two days ago, Yan Kui's reputation resounded throughout the county, and even a three-year-old child knew that Qingyuan had a heroic man who killed hundreds of bandits in a war.
Dong didn't know what to do with bandits, wars, and big victories, but she understood that Yan Kui had caused a sensation in the entire county, and it was very likely that he would be promoted because of his merits and have a bright future.
It's not that the Dong family is a human power, it's really a mother who doesn't want her daughter to marry a good family.
Yan Kui's family background is innocent, young, powerful and powerless without a wife or concubine, and his personality seems to be very easy to get along with, no matter how you look at it, he is a good son-in-law, and the Dong family naturally does not want his daughter to miss the good fate.
Now taking advantage of Lang's affection, the concubine also seems to have intentions, hurry up and catch this good son-in-law, and press this family affair to the truth, otherwise if something happens, it will be too late to regret it in the future.
…………
Dong excitedly pulled his daughter Huang Weier to the kitchen, ready to knock on the side, while Yan Kui talked happily through Huang Honestly.
Thanks to the experience last time, Yan Kui knew that Huang Laoshi was a stuffy person and was not good at talking, so he made preparations in advance this time, guided the topic by himself, and chatted about some gossip and anecdotes on the streets of the county.
Huang Laoshi has set up a tofu stall on the street all year round, so he naturally has goods in his belly, and he soon talked endlessly about me Yan Kui, and he talked quite a lot.
Yan Kui was originally listening to Huang Laoshi's idle chatter happily, but suddenly heard an abnormal situation and stopped Huang Laoshi, who was talking about Zhenghuan.
"Uncle, do you mean that a little steward of Chunyuan Building suddenly changed his ways and went to Meng's grain shop to be a buddy?"
Huang Laoshi glanced at Yan Kui strangely, as if he was a little surprised that he was interested in this matter, but he didn't ask anything, but told Yan Kui everything he knew.
"This kid's name is Jia Quan, nicknamed Clever Ghost, don't look at his age, he is also a big steward in Chunyuan Building, and I also knew something about this kid because of the proximity to his neighbor's stall.
This Jia Quan, he has no father, his mother is a secret prostitute specializing in secret doors, this kid has been accustomed to seeing three teachings and nine streams since he was a child, and he has practiced a smooth kung fu, and he talks nonsense when he sees people talking about people, because he has a sweet mouth and is clever, and he is quick to be accepted by the big people in the county as a personal follower, and later he was sent to Chunyuan Building to do a stewardship, which can be regarded as a mixed head.
As a result, a few days ago, I heard that Jia Quan suddenly stopped working in Chunyuan Building, and after hanging around at home for a few days, he actually went to Meng's grain store in Beicheng to be a young man, and let others call and scold him.
You say it's not strange, with this Jia Quan's qualifications in Chunyuan Building, even if he can't find a good way, he won't go to the grain store to be a young man, and his neighbors all said that he was stuck in the paste. ”
…………
Huang honestly talked about this, and his face was somewhat hateful, the old man had a good temperament, and he didn't want young people to choose the wrong life.
In his opinion, although Jia Quan, this kid, has taken a crooked path, but he can be regarded as having some ability, plus he has not done anything evil, his reputation is acceptable, and he can find another job, but Jia Quan actually fell into a grain store and became the lowest guy, isn't this lard blindfolding.
is different from the simple Huang Laoshi, the scheming Yan Kui can see the "mystery" of Jia Quan's choice - Chunyuan Building is Huang Dahu's industry, and Meng's grain shop is an asset in the name of Meng Gong, the county Cheng.
It is not a coincidence that a middle-level leader under Huang, who is known for his shrewdness, suddenly ran to Meng's subordinate as a low-level minion, and also ran to Beicheng, which is far away from his previous work.
Combined, Meng Gong and Huang Dahu have always had a grudge, Yan Kui estimated that this was likely to be an infernal affair played by Huang Dahu, the purpose of which was to break into Meng Gong's interior, find out the enemy's situation or directly verify Meng's illegal evidence, so as to blackmail or kill Lao Meng, the old enemy.
Jia Quan was just one of the fine works he found, and Huang Dahu estimated that he also ambushed other fine works to Meng Gong's side.
Even not only Meng Gong, but Hua Wenzheng, Zhang Wei, himself, and some other forces hostile to Huang Dahu may have been ambushed by his faction.
Tut......
Yan Kui's eyes narrowed, this matter reminded him, it seems that after he goes back, he has to secretly check the people around him, and the butcher shop and the militia also have to investigate, Huang Dahu has been afraid of him for a long time, and he must have stuffed a lot of fine work to stare at him.
Grandma's, I didn't expect Huang Dahu to play this trick, if it weren't for Huang Laoshi's mistake today, he wouldn't have found out about it.
Yan Kui was a little annoyed in his heart, because he had never taken Huang Dahu to heart before, and felt that he could control the overall situation, but today's reality gave him a deep lesson.
Seemingly.
Yan Kui's heart moved, he should do something............
