Yuan Hui'er and Lu Jun were waiting for the people to go in front of the city lord's mansion, Yuan Hui'er was dressed as a man, and Lu Jun pushed the box on the wheelbarrow covered with a bunch of weeds.

The two of them looked anxious, obviously they had been waiting for a long time.

"This Gao Hongyi official is not big, but the official authority is not small. Sister Hui'er, you said that he refused to come out to see us for a long time, is he afraid of you and me, and is looking for a place to hide. Lu Jun said with a smile.

Yuan Hui'er was originally a little anxious, but when she heard Lu Jun say this, she suddenly relaxed. "What Brother Lu said is reasonable, you have always prided yourself on being high-minded, honest and straightforward, I heard that the official master is most afraid of a scholar like Brother Lu. Maybe you guessed correctly, Brother Lu, did you say that they wouldn't let us in because they were afraid of you for a while? ”

Lu Jun said with a smile: "If you really don't let us in, it means that this Gao Hongyi has a ghost in his heart, then let's go back, don't come again, so as not to be scared that he can't find the east, west, north and south." ”

Yuan Hui'er couldn't help but hide her face and laugh, and at this time, Qin Xi, who was dressed in mourning clothes, walked out of it, and the two immediately held back their laughter.

"Yuan Haoqian's younger brother, the general asked you what your name is and what are your words?" Qin Xi looked at Yuan Hui'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said.

Yuan Hui'er thought for a while and said, "It's good to ask in Xia Yuan, the word is Yuzhi." ”

Qin Xi immediately said: "Yuan Hao asked, the general is invited." ”

Yuan Hui'er nodded and beckoned Lu Jun in, "Brother Lu, this General Gao is not afraid of you!" She whispered.

Lu Jun smiled weirdly, and then pushed the car to follow Yuan Hui'er inside, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Qin Xi in front of the door, "Lu Gongzi, my general invited Yuan Gongzi alone, and asked Lu Gongzi to wait here." ”

"Yuan Gongzi, since the general is afraid of me, then I will wait for you to come out in front of the door." Lu Jun said.

Yuan Hui'er smiled, turned her head and followed Qin Xi in.

Qin Xi led Yuan Hui'er all the way to a small courtyard, this courtyard was bleak, and there was a stone table in the middle of the bleak courtyard, and there was nothing else besides the dead branches and rotten trees dotted around.

There were two maidservants in plain clothes standing in front of the main house in the courtyard, and when they saw Yuan Hui'er coming in, they immediately owed a debt and asked Yuan Hui'er to come in.

Yuan Hui'er had some doubts in her heart, and she was led here by the housekeeper for some reason, but she wanted to dress up as a farmer, and what would they do to her even if they treated her like this, so she didn't care and strode in.

The house was very large, with a mile on each side, and the door was covered with white cloth, and no one was seen. The left and right plain palace maid painting screens stand solemnly, and one of the screens hangs a plain women's dress. Two rows of benches and high tables are loose and falling, and all kinds of porcelain are arranged in an orderly manner on the table, and a bookcase is placed in the center, on which seems to be a piece of writing. Seeing that the room layout was in stark contrast to Xiao Se's small courtyard, Yuan Hui'er looked around and sat on the chair generously.

The maidservants immediately brought all kinds of things and asked Yuan Hui'er to taste them, and she was unceremonious, and ate them generously, but it was only a superficial taste.

From time to time, there were cries from the side, and the sound was sometimes loud and sometimes small, which made people anxious. Yuan Hui'er asked the maid where she was crying, but the maid did not answer.

Seeing that a long time has passed, the sky has changed color, and the people are still sending things here. Yuan Hui'er gradually became a little nervous, and she couldn't eat or drink anymore, but she just sat still for half a minute.

After a long time, Yuan Hui'er asked, "Where is your General Gao?" ”

The two maidservants did not answer, but walked inside, took out a piece of paper and put it on the bookcase.

Yuan Hui'er immediately understood, and walked quickly to the bookcase, only to see that the ink on the paper was not dry, and it was written: 'A gentleman can be deceived in a way, and it is difficult to do it in a wrong way. ”

Yuan Hui'er saw it, her face changed, and she didn't say anything else, picked up the piece of paper and turned around and walked out.

After she walked out, she followed the crying, and when she arrived at the side of the mourning hall, she saw Gao Hongyi, who she had come to find on her trip, kneeling on the lobby and crying sadly, so she bowed slightly and walked out.

Lu Jun has been waiting outside, anxious, and has tried to break in several times, but has been stopped by the guards.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he was impatient and was about to rush in desperately, when he saw Yuan Hui'er walking out of it quickly.

Seeing Yuan Hui'er's bad face, he thought something was wrong, and immediately ran forward with concern.

"Sister Hui'er, your face is so bad, are they bullying you?"

Yuan Hui'er shook her head and said lightly: "Brother Lu, let's go back." ”

Lu Jun saw that Yuan Hui'er was in a low mood and thought that he had been bullied, and he immediately became angry in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Even women dare to bully, this Gao Hongyi is really hateful, I will go to him for comment." ”

Lu Jun was about to break in as he spoke, but Yuan Hui'er hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Lu, no." General Gao didn't bully me. ”

"Why did Sister Hui'er go happily for a long time, but she came out like this."

"Let's go back and talk about it." Yuan Hui'er said without waiting for Lu Jun, and walked quickly outside the city.

Lu Jun didn't know the details, he was anxious, but he couldn't, so he had to push the cart to follow.

The two returned to Yicunyuan Village before dark, and several people in the family were already waiting anxiously, and when they saw the two of them come back, they immediately asked about the situation with concern.

Yuan Hui'er sat on the chair silently and drank water, and everyone asked Lu Jun, Lu Jun didn't know anything, so they all looked at Yuan Hui'er seriously.

After Yuan Hui'er looked around at everyone mysteriously, she actually laughed.

Everyone was even more puzzled, Yuan Haoqian was anxious, and immediately asked: "Little sister, what's wrong with you, why did you go to the City Lord's Mansion and come back like this, tell me what is going on, don't let the eldest brother worry!" ”

Yuan Hui'er took out the paper and handed it to Yuan Haoqian at this time, and everyone took it and circulated it to each other, all of them leaking puzzled expressions.

"Son, what the hell is going on, tell me and everyone." Yuan Mingde asked worriedly.

Yuan Hui'er told all the things that happened after she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and laughed to herself after speaking.

"This General Gao is really an interesting person." Yuan Hui'er said mysteriously.

Yuan Mingde said helplessly: "It seems that this General Gao wants the old man to send it in person, and the old man will go." ”

By this time, everyone had already understood.

......

"Understood?" Chen Xuan looked at Qin Xi with a questioning expression and said. Gao Hongyi was sitting in the pavilion next to the mourning hall and seemed to be thinking about something, and Tu Su was standing beside him.

"I don't understand, the villain hasn't read a book, can City Lord Chen say a little more plain." Qin Xi stood aside and asked.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to say in detail: "Steward Qin, the general's words mean to say: 'A gentleman can be deceived, but he cannot be fooled!'" In other words, the general saw that Yuan Hui's daughter was dressed as a man from the beginning, but the general was kind-hearted and did not directly expose her to embarrass her, but invited her to the mansion to let her admit it.

But that Yuan Hui'er still pretended to be a village man, as if everyone else was in the dark and didn't know anything, and he was still eating and drinking self-righteously, which was fooling the general. The general is a gentleman who would not say anything to her, so he left that pair of words to wake her up and make her realize that she had done wrong.

This Yuan Hui'er is also quite knowledgeable and interesting, and after understanding it, she knew that she was at fault for fooling the general, and the general was already very generous if she didn't care about it, and she dared to mention anything to find the general to return the silver, so she could only leave in disgrace. However, this woman came to the mourning hall to worship before leaving, and she was a good person. ”

"Now you see? Steward Qin? Chen Xuan asked.

Qin Xi pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "The villain only knows that although Yuan Hui'er is dressed as a farmer, she can't stop her beauty, it's really beautiful and tight, so people don't dare to look at it directly!" ”

Chen Xuan was also full of emotion on the side, and said bluntly: "Chen has never seen a woman as beautiful as Yuan Hui'er, which is rare in the world!" ”

Although Gao Hongyi heard it, he didn't seem to care, and said to Tu Su without saying a word.

"The handwritten letter was given to Mr. Li?" Gao Hongyi asked.

"Delivered." Tu Su replied.

"What did he say no?"

"Didn't say anything."

Gao Hongyi nodded, got up and walked towards the study.
