Chapter 3 The Mansion

After Zhao Gaomu sent Li Jiang into the inn, he turned his head and walked towards Meng Tian's general's mansion.

"General." A soldier respectfully said to Meng Tian in front of the desk: "Zhao Gongzi is here." "Zhao Gao is also a person who often comes to the General's Mansion, everyone is also very familiar with him, the general's friends for many years, the soldiers have a good impression of Zhao Gao, although he is a hanger, but he is smart, low-key, and very friendly to the people around him.

"Let him in." Meng Tian didn't look up, and continued to look at the bamboo scroll in his hand.

"Yes, General." When the soldiers heard Meng Tian's words, they respectfully withdrew.

In less than a moment, a man in white walked in slowly, Meng Tian put down the bamboo scroll in his hand, looked up at Zhao Gao and said, "You are here." ”

"This blue sky and white day, why are you staying in this mansion, aren't you boring?" Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face.

"Major events in the army must not be delayed." Meng Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "You came to me today, what's the matter?" ”

"Huh." Zhao Gao smiled loudly, found a place to sit down, and then said, "Will I look for you if I have something?" Can't you come for a drink and chat? ”

"Didn't you always think my house was boring and didn't want to come?" Meng Tian didn't care about Zhao Gao's words at all, and said slowly: "Usually drinking and chatting, you are looking for interesting places. ”

"Alright, alright." Zhao Gao felt that Meng Tian was really boring, the whole person was a little old-fashioned, Zhao Gao really didn't know why he became friends with him, Zhao Gao said: "Today, I came to you to really have something to trouble you." ”

"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked curiously, Zhao Gao has been his friend for many years, Zhao Gao has never asked him for anything for so many years, and today he actually came to find him and said that he was troublesome, so it aroused Meng Tian's curiosity.

"Do you know where there are mansions in Xianyang City that are quiet and not remote, and the prices are relatively affordable," Zhao Gao asked directly.

"You want to buy a house?" Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Meng Tian asked curiously.

"It's not." Zhao Gao said: "Do you still remember the old Li we rescued outside Xianyang City two days ago? Yesterday I saw Li Jiang looking for a mansion again, so I wanted to help. ”

"Li Jiang?" When Meng Tian heard the woman's name, he didn't react for a while, but he immediately thought of his bandit yesterday, so he remembered the old man and his daughter, and Meng Tian said, "What does she have to do with you looking for a mansion?" ”

"Huh?" Listening to Meng Tian's words, Zhao Gao asked with a look of surprise: "No, haven't you always been happy to help others?" ”

"If I have to take care of this kind of thing, I won't be busy to death." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao and said.

After listening to Meng Tian's words, Zhao Gao didn't need to refute, because Meng Tian was right, he was a big general who even took care of the affairs of a civilian's mansion, wouldn't he have worked day and night, thinking of this, Zhao Gao felt that he was indeed negligent, Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, who was suddenly silent, and said, "I see that you care about that woman very much?" ”

"It's not something you don't care about." Zhao Gao heard Meng Tian's words and replied, "Anyway, we still have fate, don't we?" If you can, you can help. ”

Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words and was silent, Zhao Gao saw the silent Meng Tian and thought that he would not help, so he got up and said, "Forget it, since you are busy, I will leave first." With that, he was ready to leave.

"Stop." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, who turned to leave, and said, "You just left?" ”

Zhao Gao turned to look at Meng Tian and said, "Aren't you very busy?" Then I'll go out and walk around again and see if there's a suitable place. ”

"I knew there was a place that should be suitable." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao and said.

"Where?" Zhao Gao asked.

"Corner of West Street." Meng Tian said.

"At the corner of West Street?" After listening to Meng Tian's words, Zhao Gao felt that it felt quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while, so he said: "How do I feel that I have heard this place somewhere?" ”

Meng Tian didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Gao, looking at Meng Tian's eyes, Zhao Gao suddenly thought of something in his mind, and said, "Isn't that one of your private houses?" ”

"Yes." Meng Tian nodded and answered.

"That's a good place." Zhao Gao thought for a while and said, "But haven't you always liked that mansion?" ”

"I've always been in the General's Mansion, and no one lives in that mansion, and it's empty anyway." Meng Tian said, the mansion is quiet and not remote, so Meng Tian likes it very much, but he has been busy with official business, and there has been a war everywhere for many years, so he has never lived at all, and the mansion has been empty and deserted.

"You're willing." Zhao Gao listened to Meng Tian's words and said.

"Why not?" Meng Tian asked rhetorically: "Isn't the house just for people to live in?" ”

"You're right." Zhao Gao said approvingly: "Are you sure? I'm going to talk to Li Jiang. ”

"Go ahead." Meng Tian said: "Tell her that I will go to see her tomorrow with the deed." ”

"Okay." Zhao Gao said heartily: "I will talk to Li Jiang later, she must be very happy." ”

"Go ahead." Meng Tian said, and did not keep Zhao Gao.

"I took my leave." After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned back to Meng Tian and said, "Where do I still have a jar of wine that has been treasured for a long time, and I will bring it to you to taste tomorrow." After speaking, Zhao Gao left.

Meng Tian couldn't believe it when he heard Zhao Gao say that he still collected the fine wine, and shouted at Zhao Gao's back: "Zhao Gao, you actually dare to keep it privately." ”

Zhao Gao, who left the gate, heard Meng Tian's deep voice, showed a big smile, and then left the General's Mansion.

Following.

Meng Tian followed Zhao Gao to the inn with the deed, Li Jiang had already been waiting in the lobby, and when he saw Meng Tian and Zhao Gao, he walked forward and saluted: "General Meng." ”

"Miss Li is polite." Meng Tian returned the favor.

"General Meng, my father is old, waiting in the upstairs wing, please General Meng go on the road with me." Li Jiang said politely.

"There's Miss Lauley." Meng Tian didn't say much, and followed Li Jiang upstairs, and Zhao Gao also slowly followed him upstairs.

In the wing room, Li Lao respectfully saluted Meng Tian and said, "See General Meng." ”

"Elder Li doesn't have to be polite." Meng Tian said.

"General Meng, please take a seat, Zhao Gongzi, please take a seat." Li Lao invited Meng Tian and Zhao Gao to sit down.

Li Jiang gave Meng Tian and Zhao Gao a cup of tea on the road and said, "General Meng, please drink tea, Ah Gao drink tea." ”

"Jiang'er, you should sit down too." Zhao Gao said to Li Jiang with a smile.

Li Jiang was not pretentious, and sat down directly beside Li Lao.

Hearing Zhao Gao and Li Jiang's titles, Meng Tian said: "Since you are so familiar, you don't have to be so polite to me, just call me Meng Tian directly." ”

"Brother Meng doesn't have to be polite, just call me Jiang'er." Li Jiang also said heartily.

"It's the title deed." Meng Tian didn't dare to say anything, he took out a deed directly from his arms, handed it to Li Lao and said.

"Listen to Jiang Er, you yourself like this mansion General Meng very much, sell it to me, General Meng ......" Li Lao looked at the deed on the table in front of him and said.

"Elder Li doesn't have to be polite." Meng Tian said: "I have no one to live in that mansion, so it is better to give it to those in need." ”

After listening to Meng Tian's words, Li Lao also accepted the deed happily, and then signaled Li Jiang to give the money to Meng Tian, Li Jiang handed the silver ticket in his hand to Meng Tian, and Meng Tian took it directly without refusing, and put it in his arms without checking.

Zhao Gao saw that everything was done, so he said to Li Jiang: "Choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and help in, and I will help when the time comes." ”

"I'm here to help, too." Meng Tian said: "The mansion is overgrown with weeds now, I have ordered a few soldiers to clean it, and in a few days I can pick up the furniture I need and move it in." ”

"Trouble, Brother Meng." Li Jiang said.

"Jiang Er is polite." Meng Tian said slowly: "Elder Li, Jiang Er, if there is anything in the future, you can come to the General's Mansion to find me." ”

"Your general's mansion, it's so troublesome to enter." Zhao Gao said.

Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words, thought about it, and after a while, he took off the jade pendant on his waist, handed it to Li Jiang and said: "This jade pendant is worn by me, and I can enter and leave the General's Mansion by myself, Jiang Er, you accept it, so that you can enter and exit the General's Mansion by yourself." ”

"This ......" Seeing the jade pendant in front of him, he couldn't make a decision.

Zhao Gao on the side took the jade pendant in Meng Tian's hand, and then stuffed it into Li Jiang's hand and said, "Jiang Er quickly accept it, this jade pendant is a good thing." ”

"Then you're welcome." Li Jiang put the jade pendant into the cuff and no longer shirked it, because Li Jiang knew that this jade pendant would indeed help him a lot.

"Alright." Meng Tian saw that Li Jiang Yupei had accepted it, so he turned his face to Zhao Gao and said, "Everything that needs to be done has been done, what about the rest?" ”

"I want to see how long you can endure it?" Of course, Zhao Gao knew what Meng Tian was talking about, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, I couldn't help it so soon." ”

"Bring it quickly." Meng Tian said expectantly.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Gao turned around and walked to the side, brought over the wine that had been prepared, and put it in front of Meng Tian.

Meng Tian impatiently opened the lid, as soon as the lid opened, a burst of aroma filled the whole house, Meng Tian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his heart was satisfied, Zhao Gao looked at Meng Tian's expression on the side, and said proudly: "I said, you will be satisfied." ”

After listening to Zhao Gao's words, Meng Tian slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Gao and said, "You actually have such a good wine in your private collection, is there anything else?" ”

"No, I only have one jar of this wine." Zhao Gao said, then looked at Meng Tian's expression of disbelief in you, and then said again: "Don't believe it, you go to search my mansion." ”

"I will." Meng Tian listened to Zhao Gao's words and said without hesitation.

"Hey, hey, Meng Tian, don't you believe me like that?" After listening to Meng Tian's answer, Zhao Gao said dissatisfiedly, he said it casually, and besides, he really only had this altar, and he wanted to congratulate him on his birthday again.

Meng Tian shook the wine in his hand and said slowly, "Do you think you are still worth believing?" ”

"You ......" Zhao Gao was speechless for a while.
