"Okay, Lord Lan, I'll go over tomorrow, and you can send someone to accompany me, or I really don't know how to deal with those officials."

After arranging Zhang Hongke, there is nothing else to say about the second senior brother's side, and when he returned to the mansion, Lao Liu also came back, and he really found a framing master, and he came back and was framing the emperor's character in the living room

"My lord, this word is already framed, how about you take a look," Lao Liu came over to me and asked

"Yes, in fact, I don't know much about this, you just tell this master to use the best materials to make the best effect, you now know whose words it is."

"This is my lord, this is the first time I have framed the emperor's words, the old man has been a framer for a lifetime, and it is the first time to see an adult, and his ability is not small, even the emperor will give you the inscription or two."

The old master, who was framing calligraphy and paintings, also stood up and said, This is a man in his fifties, who looks very 'fine', and has two apprentices, and the two apprentices are helping him

"Master, you are really seeing the emperor's words for the first time"

"Yes, my lord, the old man has been doing this line in the capital for decades, and it is the first time to see the emperor's words, although the emperor's words do not have the demeanor of those people, but they also have a unique style, the pen is vigorous and powerful, and the adults have these two words to be heirlooms."

I didn't say anything more, I found a chair and sat down to watch them frame, and I was also thinking about going to Leiyun Village tomorrow to see what was going on here, and I would 'hand' it over to Lao Liu, and I could only take Liu Lianjiang and the three tigers with me when I went to Leiyun Village, and they couldn't let them know my relationship with Leiyun Village

The old master worked very quickly, and before it was dark, he 'got the two characters of Mu Zong' ready, Lao Liu paid the silver, and after sending them away, I said to Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, tomorrow, you go to the first floor to assist Zhang Hongke to 'hand' over the restaurant, and you need to decorate or something, as well as recruit people, you listen to him, that is, I will go out with Liu Lianjiang with the silver."

Lao Liu knew about us, so he didn't ask again, just promised me to go hunting in the suburbs at night, and now he is bored at home every day, and there is the old man Wang over there in Leiyun Village, they don't know that we are married, should we go to see the old man Wang or Zihan's father-in-law, go out to see them, go out to relax, Zihan also knows that I was born in a martial arts, and now I am a civil official, I am really bored, and I also support me to go out for a walk, and the matter is settled

Early the next morning, I took Liu Lianjiang to ride the fast horse sent by the ancients in Xuanfu last time to Leiyun Village

Two hours later, we arrived at Leiyun Village, and the people standing guard on it had already seen me, and went down to inform Mr. Wang and Li Jianying, but they didn't know what we were here for, so they were just on guard

When we arrived at the 'gate' of the village, the soldiers above also recognized us, Mr. Wang, and they hurriedly opened the 'door', I haven't been here for a long time, so I saluted Mr. Wang first, Mr. Wang is a happy person, and when they met, they shouted: "Lan Yunjie, you guy, you haven't come for so long to see what wind is blowing us today."

I dismounted and saluted them and said, "Old man, don't you want you to come, come here to see why you are not welcome, let me stand here and drink the northwest wind, it's not warm now."

"Okay, you see, I'm old and confused, let's go back and say"

A group of people came, and the people below the Juyi Hall made tea, and then it officially began, first Old Man Wang said: "What is the matter with Lan Yunjie's coming over today, I heard Xuanyun say that you are married, should you invite us to drink?"

"The old man, the brothers are here today for this matter, Zihan said that we got married, and my father-in-law didn't go, and she didn't want to leave the capital, so I came to the banquet on behalf of her, brothers, I am usually not here, it's all because you have worked hard, why didn't you see Wang Jianhua"

"Wang Jianhua, escort the grain to the outside of the Guan, by the way, according to your wishes, the cavalry will be trained over there, and he will not come back temporarily, and I will make up for him when I come back later."

What I'm concerned about now is Zhang Guifei and the construction of the cottage, and when the old man finished speaking, I asked: "Old man, the few people I sent are all right."

"You mean that you sent a 'woman' over, and there is a 'woman' with two children, you Lan Yunjie can go to the capital in such a short time, so you can do it, and the 'woman' comes back, where do you put Zihan?"

As soon as I mentioned this, Mr. Wang was angry, he was an orthodox person, and he had never had any other 'female' person, so he was very disgusted with me like this, plus he was Zihan's father-in-law, and his heart must be towards her, so he reprimanded me

"Old man, don't be angry, in fact, this matter is not right for me, but the first girl is that I drank alcohol and accidentally had a relationship with others, you also know that we are all responsible people, since we have to take responsibility for doing wrong, so I had to send her here, the second is a friend's child and wife, there is a hidden relationship in it, and I will tell you, old man, whether you forgive me or not, I am a person in charge, I can't ignore them"

I was very helpless, the old man didn't know, so he complained and reprimanded, but I knew that this was out of kindness and care for Zihan, and I was afraid that I would have other 'female' people who would be cold and alienated from Zihan

"I don't care what you do, you can't treat Zihan Zihan badly, Zihan is a good girl, you can't have an outer room and alienate her, if you dare to treat Zihan badly, I won't break your 'leg' for you, I won't be surnamed Wang"

Seeing that Old Man Wang's anger gradually grew, Li Jianying hurriedly came up and persuaded: "Old man, Brother Lan is right, you have to take responsibility, you can't ignore it, we all know that Zihan is a good girl, Brother Lan can't treat Zihan girl badly, Miss Lan, Brother Lan, are you right?"

"Yes, old man Wang, don't worry, Brother Li's words are what I want to say, I swear I will not treat Zihan badly"

Wang Jianying, who was on the side, saw how the conflict arose when he was in a good mood, and also persuaded: "Old man, today is a good day for Brother Lan, come to feast on our Brother Lan, it's not easy for Brother Lan to go out of Beijing once, old man, I'll call someone to prepare wine and food, kill a few pigs and sheep, how about our cottage celebrate tonight."

"Okay, I like to drink, but remember why celebrate, don't say that Lan Yunjie's identity in the capital must be kept secret, and you can't let too many people know, you go and arrange it, I'll talk to Lan Yunjie."

The old man's anger disappeared a lot, and he watched the two of them go out to arrange a banquet, and the old man asked me: "What kind of friend is the 'girl' with the child you said just now?"

Next, I told Zhao Quan about it, and the old man was silent for a while after listening to it, and said: "It stands to reason that Zhao Quan is a big man, 'traitor', and I also know that we shouldn't take them in, but since you have agreed, you can't break your trust in others, and the children have no sin, adults are adults, children are like little trees, as long as they are taught from an early age, they will not follow Zhao Quan's path, in the future, I will teach them to be a good person who is loyal to the monarch and serve the country, what are you going to do with your 'woman', whether to take it back or continue to put it here."

"Old man, I didn't dare to tell Zihan about this, and this Xiaozhu girl has a miserable background, she can't go to the capital, I will tell you everything in the future, the old Xiaozhu is pregnant now, and please take care of the Xiaozhu girl for the sake of my flesh and bones, I can't come over often, so please leave it to you."

"Don't worry about this, I'm just dissatisfied with you, I can't treat the child and Miss Xiaozhu badly, you are busy with you in the capital, you don't have to worry about the things here."

Although Mr. Wang said that he was very angry, he was still very kind in his heart, no matter what he said, it was my elders who should have given me a reprimand

I quickly changed the topic and asked, "Old man, there is nothing big about the cottage for a while, I will not have any impact if I take away so much grain from here?"

Speaking of this old man, he was interested: "Is this a good cottage for a while, we went to the distance to fight a few rich masters, the grain you took away had no impact at all, and robbed a lot of cattle and sheep back, this winter is fine, as long as you do a good job of training, a few days ago, Wang Jianhua took away 300 people, and now the people and horses of the cottage are still about 1,000, there is time, we also go outside to recruit displaced people, next year will reclaim the wasteland outside, plant more fruit trees' Get some cattle and sheep, anyway, now that we have the title deed, I am not afraid of people from outside coming in, and I think it is feasible to open an inn on the official road next year, and we will go to build the road by the way on the 'spring' day, so that we have a lot of room for development."

Talking about these old men, he forgot about the unpleasantness just now, took a sip of tea, and continued: "I also want to build four villages around us as a barrier here, so that people from outside will not come in, even if they come in, we can also know in time, and we can also divert the people who have been recruited out of the cottage, leaving only those who have no families, what do you think?"

I also agree with Mr. Wang's idea, if the cottage wants to develop, it is necessary to expand the scale, it is not enough to be limited to this place, but also to take the safety issue into account, the secret agents close to the capital Jinyiwei here may not necessarily find out here that day, or be careful

"Old man, everything here is i, you can do these things in the future, but I also have a suggestion, for those who are on duty all the year round, we can give some money to open a shop in the village, so that they can also buy what they like and need."
