Chapter 159: Don't be too embarrassed
Qingmo touched his head and explained, "It is estimated that Brother Zhang Shui forgot to close it when he went out." Li Mao then asked, "When did the big handsome come over?" ”
Qingmo's accent often calls Zhang Shuan Zhang Shuai, and Li Mao took the opportunity to give Zhang Shuan a nickname called Da Shuai.
"I came after dark, hey, I'm patronizing Ah Xiang, where is Zhang Shuai?"
After Zhu Xiang got married, she followed Zhang Xuan back to Gushan Town, and said that she would come over after Qingmo settled down, and this time she heard that Zhang Xuan was going to come to Yunzhou to do business, so she couldn't help but follow her with a lot of thoughts. At the beginning, Li Mao ordered the mandarin duck spectrum to give Zhu Xiang to Qingmo, and he was worried that she was resentful, but now it seems that it is superfluous to worry, the young couple have not seen each other for a day, so they don't need to persuade themselves to take the initiative and run over. As he was talking, he suddenly heard Zhang Xuan's hearty laughter, his waist was straight under the moonlight, his hands were behind his back, and he was admiring Li Mao's new house accompanied by several nursing homes.
He entered the city at dusk, and did not take two steps to catch up with the curfew, so he had to stay outside, and after the first wave of inspections, he took the incense to Baishanfang, and met several groups of guards along the way. His Caozhou deputy general's brand and a lot of Xie Yi are the best passes, and when he came to Baishanfang, he learned that Li Mao's new house was not completed, and Li Mao did not live here.
Qingmo and Zhu Xiang were inseparable as soon as they met, Zhang Xuan was a person who came over, and he knew what was most important for the young couple to meet, so he paced out under the pretext of visiting the new house. The people who stayed to guard the new house were Li Mao's confidants, and naturally recognized Zhang Xuan, so they took the initiative to accompany him to visit, fortunately, the moonlight was good this night, Zhang Xuan's wandering around, slowly killing time, and the passion of Qingmo and Zhu Xiang burned out, so he turned around and asked about Li Mao's recent situation, but he didn't intend to see Li Mao in the side door.
Zhang Xuan didn't have time to think about it, and stepped forward to see the military salute. Li Mao held it and said with a smile: "You are now the deputy general of the Eight Classics, and I am an idler at home, how can I afford such a big gift from you." Zhang Xuan said: "I was originally a farmer who only knew how to dig in the soil, if it weren't for your support, how could I be today?" You are my old chief, and it is only natural to meet and salute. ”
After Zhang Xuan was promoted to the deputy general of Caozhou, he once had to resign and follow Li Mao to Yunzhou, Li Mao did not agree, his interests in Caozhou were too many and complicated, and he was really not at ease if he did not leave one or two trustworthy people to guard him, so Zhang Xuan reluctantly went to Caozhou. With Li Mao's rich stepping stones, coupled with his own understanding, Zhang Xuan has flourished in the Caozhou Military Academy, and has been in the top position for a long time, and there are few traces of the old days in his speech and demeanor.
He came to Yunzhou this time to escort the luggage in advance on Su Qing's order, Li Mao's family property is too huge, even if it is only a small part, it will inevitably make an earth-shattering scene, the road between Gushan Town and Caozhou is not very peaceful, Su Qing is afraid of accidents, so he insists on Zhang Xuan to take a trip.
Li Mao asked Su Qing when he would come to Yunzhou, and Zhang Xuan said: "Xiao Chengli asked his aunt to serve as a military doctor, and the soldiers were not allowed to go to Jimin Hospital for medical treatment, but the soldiers in the camp only trusted us and came secretly behind his back." Ten days ago, Xiao Chengli had an evil attack, beat up a team leader who often came to us, and kicked a few pawns, the three ladies were afraid that the two families would lose harmony because of this trivial matter, so they wanted to relocate the medical school to Yunzhou, and the doctor and his wife also agreed. It's just that there are a lot of things involved in this matter, and you can't leave until you settle down here. ”
Li Mao said: "I really know people and faces, but I didn't expect Xiao Chengli to be such a person, and the dignified marching Sima is also greedy for these small profits." Then he said: "If the few pawns who were kicked out have no livelihood, let them come to Yunzhou, and I will settle them." Zhang Xuan said: "The third lady has been properly settled." Su Qing was relieved, Li Mao was relieved, so he didn't mention the matter anymore, and said: "Have you been to the nearby Xiaoci Fang?" Mr. Chang wants to open a crude medicine shop there, and there are two old houses behind it, which are about to be rented, if Gushan Town can't stay, he will invite the doctor and his wife to come over, and I will rent or buy two houses, one for teaching and the other for living. ”
Zhang Xuan said: "Although this line of work is based on craftsmanship, there are also many overlord figures, and I don't know how deep and shallow the water in Yunzhou is. Li Mao smiled: "It's okay, now we are also people with heads and faces in Yunzhou, I won't provoke them, see who dares to provoke me." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, before leaving, Su Qing repeatedly told him to settle the affairs of the medical hall as soon as possible, it was easy to find a house to open a medical center, and it was just around the corner to open up the situation in Yunzhou with the reputation of Ge Rixiu and his wife. Zhang Xuan is only worried that the water in Yunzhou is too deep, and some people are rampant, and Li Mao is really uncertain about whether he can stabilize the situation when he first arrives, seeing that Li Mao is so confident, Zhang Xuan is naturally a hundred relieved, Li Mao sometimes jokes with them, but the director is definitely a reliable person.
In the middle, Zhu Xiang dressed neatly, re-touched her makeup and came out to see Li Mao, thinking of the embarrassing scene just now, the two of them blushed at the same time. The night is deep, the heat is all gone, a group of people toss until now they don't feel a little hungry, Qingmo knocked on the deli in the same square to buy some cooked food, took out the cellar of good wine, Zhang Xuan and Qingmo drank a few bowls, Zhu Xiang was slightly stained, Li Mao wanted to vomit when he smelled the wine, took a cake and went to the inner house.
The new house under the moonlight is unusually quiet, Li Mao stroked the newly planted flowers and trees, and sighed in his heart: When can I stay at home and be a carefree rich man with peace of mind, spanning thousands of years in this world just to be tired?
After the meal, Li Mao took Qingmo and Zhang Xuan to the neighboring Xiaoci Fang to see the newly opened pharmacy and the two houses he said.
There is a festival to charge the Ya card to fight the body, and the road is smooth.
The two houses that Li Mao said were close to the newly opened crude medicine shop and the clinic that was about to open, and they could be connected by just hitting a door on the wall, and it was very convenient to enter and exit. Wang Laoshi has been lonely since childhood, begging for food came to Yunzhou, followed a cooking cake to learn the craft, Yicheng himself did it alone, with a delicate heart and hard work to endure hardships, struggled for 40 years to buy these two properties, the oldest, no children under the knees, no intention to operate, ready to move back to the hometown of Qingzhou countryside to care for the elderly, these two properties are in a hurry to sell.
Li Mao took Zhang Zhu to look at it, felt very satisfied, and immediately said that he wanted to buy it, Wang Laoshi was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent his men to invite Fang Zheng to be a Chinese person. Fang Zheng was very unhappy to be woken up in the middle of the night, and saw that it was Wang Laoshi, a miser, and it was estimated that there was no oil and water to fish, so he helped Li Mao to suppress Wang Laoshi's price, hoping that Li Mao would be able to repay him and give him a benefit.
Wang Laoshi was pressed by the fierce Fang Zheng with tears in his eyes, and his whole body trembled. Li Mao was unwilling to bully others, so he gave him a fair price, sent Qingmo to make a contract with him, and hired Fang Zheng to follow the witnesses to testify.
As soon as the group left noisily, a team of night guards pushed the door and broke in, asking Li Mao why he was noisy in the middle of the night, Li Mao showed his identity, and the leader of the team did not dare to be verbose, but said: "The military government issued an order, and tonight is strictly guarded, I am afraid that something important has happened in the city. ”
In Yunzhou, the assassination of Jie Du made Li Shigu naturally a big deal, blocking the city gate and various passes outside the city, searching for suspects door to door, and then torture and interrogation, almost the prescribed action, not tossing the individual on his back, this matter is difficult to be good. Li Mao made a perfunctory sentence and sent the school away. Seeing that Qingmo hadn't returned for a long time, he said to Zhang Xuan: "Let's go first, this guy may be dragged to drink again." Zhang Xuan worked hard all the way, and he was already sleepy, but at this moment, the major affairs assigned by Su Qing had an eyebrow, and he had no intention of staying up, so he walked back with Li Mao.
