Chapter Eighty-Six: The Promise of Glory and Wealth
Jiang Feng got up in the morning and went out with a smile, and when he got on the horse and walked out of the street at the door of his house, the expression on his face immediately became a little gloomy, last night he said that he was going to officially marry Su Guanyue, although there were some elements to comfort the other party, but he also really wanted to give the other party a name.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them were together in the middle of the night, the girl whispered to him that she was the daughter of a sinner, and it was enough to have a place to settle down, and she didn't dare to ask for the title of this wife, and she also said there that if the wedding was organized, I was afraid that the whereabouts would be revealed.
Although Su Guanyue's performance was very informed, the girl knew that it was impossible for her to compete with Liu Fangrui when Jiang Feng mentioned the maid of the Liu family with a smile on her face, but the girl's refusal still made Jiang Feng very awkward, and it was not a pleasant thing to be rejected after all.
Because of the order and guards, Jiang Feng went out very early in the morning, and arrived at the door of Huifeng Building, the restaurant had not yet opened, only Wang Qinian led a few men to clean the street there, and Wang Qinian, a knowledger, saw Jiang Feng appear on the street, and hurriedly ran over to lead the horse. Such a clever and well-behaved guy, no matter who it is, likes it very much, Jiang Feng was just about to encourage the other party a few words, but Wang Qinian whispered:
"Owner, there are a few fans from the East Factory waiting for you in the wine shop, and you have just arrived......
Then he stopped talking, just looked at Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, the people in Beijing, even if they are civil and military officials, noble families, even if you are Jinyiwei, they are afraid that people from Dongchang will come to the door, and it is not a problem for night owls to enter the house.
It was purely black and white impermanence to hook the soul, Wang Qinian ran so far to hold the horse, obviously to tell him about this matter, so that he could prepare early, this can be regarded as loyal, regardless of the danger to ventilate the news, Jiang Feng's heart was hot, but he pretended to be nothing, and said:
"Wasn't it Xu Quan who came that day, and he sent us a congratulatory gift for the opening that day."
"No, it's a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression, looking at the appearance of those entourages around him, he is definitely much older than Xu Quan, the owner, hurry up and get an idea!"
As soon as he heard these words, Jiang Feng's heart was 'chuckled', he knew that Wang Qinian was talking about the Lord Xu he met in Qianzhuang, although he didn't care at all, but when he thought about it later, he was quite apprehensive in his heart, because the other party's style and bearing belonged to someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Whether it is the modern or the Ming Dynasty, distinguishing who can be offended and who cannot be offended is an important skill to ensure personal safety, Jiang Feng's eyes suddenly swept to the black ring on his finger, and a sense of courage was inexplicably born in his heart, and he rushed forward with a horse.
Wang Qinian stomped his feet, thinking to himself how could his owner be so reckless, in case it was not a good thing waiting for him inside, such a good person would be delayed, but at this time, Jiang Feng turned around, opened his mouth and smiled, and said:
"From this day onwards, your wages will rise by 10%."
"Owner, I can't go!"
Wang Qinian shouted directly at the top of his voice, Jiang Feng waved his hand to the back, he had already turned over and dismounted and entered the wine shop, and the guys who were cleaning the streets came over, and they didn't know what was going on, Wang Qinian said listlessly there:
"Don't be a spectator, still, let's get ready to open."
As soon as I walked into the shop, I saw a person dressed as a fan standing behind the door, not those people led by Xu Quan, looking very faced, not standing there with a straight chest, but leaning against the door very casually, looking more casual, but Jiang Feng practiced his fists and feet, but he understood in his heart that the other party's posture could burst out and hurt people at any time, this is a person who rolls in blood all day long.
The Dongchang fan crossed his arms and looked Jiang Feng up and down a few times, then turned his head and shouted into the room:
"Lord Xu, Mr. Jiang is here."
"Let him in."
A calm voice came from the place where it should be his office, Jiang Feng smiled at the fan who reported it, the other party ignored it, Jiang Feng reached out and subconsciously touched the dagger in his arms, and when he was about to step inside, he suddenly felt that his arms stiffened, and in an instant, the dagger was already held in the hand by the fan who looked quite loose on the side, and he threw it aside there, and said coldly:
"This gadget should be kept outside, so as not to be misunderstood."
Sure enough, there was someone outside the people, Jiang Feng could judge from the moment just now that his proud fists and feet in the Ming Dynasty were not opponents at all, but Jiang Feng also fully understood the ability of the eldest husband to bend and stretch, and smiled at the other party very sincerely, and said:
"That's, that's, it's entrusted to this lord."
The fan was stunned for a moment, just stretched out his hand to the inside, signaling to hurry in, Jiang Feng reached out and touched his belt, and secretly opened the snap button of the iron whip outside, this time the other party did not find out, Jiang Feng walked over in small steps, lifted the curtain, and saw that Lord Xu was sitting in front of the table, with a bowl of steaming porridge on the table, holding a small fire of sauce meat in his hand, and Lord Xu was drinking porridge there with a spoon.
Standing behind Lord Xu, there were also two characters who looked stronger than the one outside, looking at Jiang Feng in front of him coldly, Jiang Feng smiled dryly, and moved out of the window, that Lord Xu drank the porridge in a few sips, and put the sauce and meat in his hand on the plate.
Raised his head and said with a smile:
"The breakfast in your store is really unique, no wonder you make so much money."
Seeing that the other party's expression was not looking for trouble, Jiang Feng's heart relaxed slightly, and at this time, he was about to hit the snake with the stick, Jiang Feng hurriedly took a step forward, clasped his fists with both hands respectfully, and said politely:
"Lord Xu doesn't know what to take care of when he comes to the trumpet, if you think this breakfast is delicious, the trumpet will send it to your house every day in the future, so that you don't have to run so far in such a cold weather."
Lord Xu was so gloomy that a smile actually appeared on his face, although he looked very incongruous, he just looked at Jiang Feng and didn't speak, Jiang Feng was a little flustered by such a gaze, and he didn't know how to answer, but he was also quite anxious, and a smile appeared on his face, pretending to remember something, he clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Lord Xu, when the shop opened a few days ago, a stall head surnamed Xu came to congratulate him.
These words suddenly brought the relationship between the two sides closer, you think, I have such a good relationship with you as a stall head, what is there to find trouble, that is, to see how much face the stall head has, as soon as the words came out, the smile of Lord Xu finally turned into laughter, and then his face became that gloomy, maybe it is usually like this, Lord Xu said slowly:
"That Xu Quan is my nephew, I am the hundred households of Dongchang, Xu Tianbiao."
When the name of Xu Tianbiao from the 100 households in Dongchang was placed in the yamen of the Jingshi Division, it was not too much to be frightened on the spot, but Jiang Feng was really an outlier, he had never heard the name Xu Tianbiao at all, so he didn't understand the horror behind the name, but instead beat the snake and said with a smile on the stick:
"Rude, rude, it turned out to be my own family, calling Uncle Xu under the title is not considered a transgression, I don't know what Uncle Shi has to do here today?"
Jiang Feng's smiling face seemed to be a flower, full of sincerity, and the voice of "Uncle Shi" was extremely numb, but this title made Xu Tianbiao, who was sitting there, tremble, Jiang Feng was looking forward to his answer there, Xu Tianbiao was quiet for a while, and then said slowly:
"Your father and I are brothers, and your uncle should be called."
Hearing this sentence that was not too loud, Jiang Feng immediately stayed there, his father's brother, isn't that the friend of the father of the original owner of this body, when Jiang Feng's spirit traveled from the modern era, it was not completely wiped out of the previous spirit, but integrated into his heart, and he didn't have too many concepts about his father, who was already dead when he was five years old, even the old officer who raised himself was also extremely indifferent.
But since the spiritual fusion, there is still a resentment in the heart of the sprout, after all, his father was almost chopped into meat on the grassland in order to save the nobleman, but except for taking himself to Beijing to raise in an officer's house, no one has ever cared about it anymore, let himself be bullied, if it wasn't for this crossing, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death on the street by a stick in the back of the head.
Jiang Feng stayed for a while, the smile on his face all disappeared, and he just sat opposite, reached out and picked up the untouched fire on the plate and ate it, and said coldly:
"I can't remember what happened more than ten years ago, it turned out to be Uncle Shi."
The resentment that has accumulated for more than ten years is affecting Jiang Feng all the time, and now this is also a scar in his heart, Xu Baihu looked at Jiang Feng's performance, and he was not angry, but said slowly there:
"At that time, I was still called Xu Erhu, at that time it was still a general banner, followed by your father, your father was the most martial and brave hundred households in the entire Zhenwuwei, fifteen years ago, the little prince of the Tartars invaded, Zhang Du Gongxuanfu, Datong, Yansui and other military affairs, led dozens of our officers to check the terrain outside the fortress, suddenly was targeted by thousands of Tartar cavalry, your father said at the time, the governor and the brothers took care of the hill, and rushed up with half of the brothers......"
Xu Tianbiao's voice paused, and he took a big breath, obviously extremely excited, and the two fans in the room quietly retreated.
"When we got back there, we saw that your father had been slashed with a knife, and he was almost unrecognizable......"
Jiang Feng threw away the food in his hand and stared at the Dongchang Baihu in front of him, although his spirit came from the modern era, but that subconscious deep feeling could not deceive himself, Xiaoshan was the name of this body when he was a child, and a stream of sourness surged up from the bottom of his heart. Xu Tianbiao's voice over there has gradually calmed down:
"Zhang Dugong asked me to bring you a ring on his hand, and said a word, Jiang Baihu's child, I want to make him rich and glorious!!"
