Chapter Ninety-Nine: Non-stop

"Qian Shangshu recruits each other, and Gu Jiang should obey his fate." A small military department is pragmatic and does not dare to disobey the words of the Ministry of Etiquette.

"Mr. Gu, please." Luo Jian politely stepped forward to invite Gu Yanwu to go out with him, Gu Yanwu hesitated, but still stepped forward and walked side by side with Luo Jian.

Qian Qianyi looked at Gu Yanwu with some dissatisfaction, and said in his heart that this person really didn't know what to do, and he dared to walk side by side with Wei Guogong, seeing that Luo Jian didn't look displeased, he couldn't say anything.

Zheng Sen walked behind Qian Qianyi, and the excited look on his face had not faded.

"Sir, I want to go to Yangzhou, what do you think?" Zheng Sen saw that Luo Jian was talking to Gu Yanwu, and quietly walked next to Qian Qianyi and said.

"If you go to Xinghua, you should be able to accomplish a lot of achievements, how can the old man stop you?" Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Qian Qianyi's voice was loud, but Luo Jian heard it, and he was overjoyed, and turned back to Zheng Sen and said, "Damu is warmly welcomed to Yangzhou." ”

Looking back, seeing a stunned look on Gu Yanwu's face, Luo Jian said to him, "Mr. Gu, would you like to help Xinghua?" ”

"Gu Yanwu is really fortunate to be valued by the Duke of Weiguo, but I still have an errand for the Ministry of War..."Gu Yanwu said hesitantly.

"It's okay, don't worry about this Mr. Gu, I'll go to the Ma Pavilion Department to find someone." Luo Jian said with a smile.

There are a lot of people in the court who have the title of secretary of the military department, even Ruan Dacheng is also the secretary of the military department, but the actual secretary of the military department is still Ma Shiying, who does not even have a grade, it is estimated that Ma Shiying will not take it to heart.

Before this arrived at Qian Qianyi's mansion, the two of them had already been dealt with, and Luo Jian was in a good mood, and he began to think about what it was most appropriate for these two to return to Yangzhou.

After having lunch in the Qian Mansion, Luo Jian invited Gu and Zheng to the Guogong Mansion for a talk, and both of them happily agreed.

In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse in front of the Weiguo Mansion on Shichengmen Street, three or four people dressed as Jianghu characters stared at the gate of the Weiguo Mansion, watching the warrior car enter the mansion, and several people showed helplessness on their faces.

Since yesterday's clash in the Red Pai Lou, Wang Sicheng has strengthened the guards in the mansion, and several teams of guards have patrolled around the Guogong Mansion in shifts, and now they will be interrogated by the guards if they enter the Guogong Mansion within a few dozen steps.

Luo Jian and the three of them were a little unimpressed, but Wang Sicheng insisted, he said that there was nothing wrong with being careful, and Luo Jian had to go with him.

After entering the mansion, Luo Jian asked Wang Sicheng to arrange for someone to go to the military department to get the order of the water division, and turned around and introduced Gu Yanwu and Zheng Sen into the hall.

Liu Lan was discussing with the shopkeeper Liu what to do about the store, Li Xiangjun was sitting quietly aside, and the shouts of Wang Qiang and Wang Sicheng came from the back garden, obviously the two were practicing martial arts in the back.

Seeing that Luo Jian was back, Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly got up to say goodbye and avoided, and Li Xiangjun also stood up and saluted Luo Jianfu and went to the backyard.

When Liu Lan saw that Luo Jian had brought the two of them back, they all looked at it with some curiosity.

"Hurry up, I'll introduce you, this is Mr. Gu."

Liu Lan reacted very quickly, stood up and asked, "Mr. Gu?" But Gu Jiang, who 'the rise and fall of the world, is the responsibility of the husband'? ”

Gu Jiang saw that a woman in the hall did not avoid it, and saw that her speech and behavior were different from the woman at this time, and knew that this was the legendary angel girl.

"Gu Jiang has seen the angel girl." Gu Yanwu stepped forward and bowed to Liu Lan.

Liu Lan turned around and stretched out her thumb to Luo Jian and said, "Brother Luo, you are a cow, you are too good!" ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Jiang: "Mr. Gu doesn't have to be polite, my surname is Liu, my name is Liulan, you can call it by name, you can also call Miss Liu, please take a seat." ”

"Liu Lan, don't get excited, there is another one here." Luo Jian looked at the excited Liu Lan with amusement.

"Zheng Sen has seen Angel Girl." Zheng Sen behind Luo Jian took the initiative to step forward

"Zheng Sen?" Liu Lan didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before she reacted, this Zheng Sen turned out to be Zheng Chenggong, stared at Zheng Sen and said, "Why are you so young?" ”

Liu Lan's question made Zheng Sen stunned, because he didn't know how to answer at all.

Luo Jian laughed and said, "Da Mu is only twenty-one years old this year, why isn't he young?" ”

Liu Lan also realized that she had asked a funny question, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Please sit down, you two, I'm reckless." ”

Luo Jian asked people to call Wang Qiang over and introduce them to the two of them.

Neither of them was a nerd, and after sitting down, they had a very good conversation with Luo Jian and the others.

"Brother Luo, both of you are now willing to go to Yangzhou to fight the Qing Dynasty together, why don't you send a name to both of them?" Seeing that Luo Jian shouted that the two of them were a little awkward, Liu Lan, who had the intention of letting the two of them continue to leave their names in history, gave Luo Jian a suggestion.

"Good! Good! How about I give Mr. Gu the word Yanwu? ”

Gu Jiang pondered for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Luo Jian and said, "Grandpa Xie Guo gave the word!" ”

Liu Lan was secretly funny, and said in her heart, this is your name itself, okay?

"Grandpa Guo, how about giving Zheng Sen a name too?" This side just let Gu Yanwu return to his original position, and Zheng Sen over there couldn't wait, and Liu Lan couldn't stop snickering.

"I see that Da Mu Zhi is in the army, I wish you success in the future, how about sending you the word success?"

Zheng Sen hurriedly got up and thanked Weiguo Gong for giving the word, Luo Jianxin said, this time he finally made up for the lack in his heart.

"Brother Luo, Ruan Dacheng sent someone to send a post, inviting us to go to his house for dinner in the evening." Liu Lan suddenly remembered that Ruan Dacheng had sent someone to invite him to dinner.

Luo Jianyi frowned, thinking about not going, and when he was hesitating, Gu Yanwu spoke.

"Grandpa Guo, Yanwu feels that Yangzhou is still inseparable from the support of the imperial court, no matter who is in this court, Grandpa Guo should be good friends."

When Luo Jian heard this, Gu Yanwu really had a strong sense of the overall situation, and he was not as repulsive as other literati about the so-called traitorous minister Ruan Dacheng, and he was even happier in his heart.

After a while, the housekeeper of Ruan Dacheng's mansion came in person, saying that he was picking up Luo Jian and others to go to the banquet.

Gu and Zheng saw it, and quickly got up to say goodbye, Luo Jian said: "Mr. Gu will go to the military department tomorrow to hand over the affairs in hand, and successfully return to the country first, and when you return to Yangzhou, someone will go to call you." ”

Both agreed.

Ruan Dacheng's "Stone Nest Garden" was next to the Jubao Gate in the south, not close to the Guogong Mansion, so Luo Jian had to drive out and go towards the "Stone Nest Garden".

At this time, it was not yet dark, and under the guidance of the housekeeper of the Ruan Mansion, the warrior car arrived soon.

Before he entered the garden, Ruan Dacheng had already arrived at the gate of the mansion to greet him, and several people walked into the "Stone Nest Garden" in a cold voice.

Walk into the courtyard to see, this "stone nest garden" area is really not small, pavilions and pavilions everywhere, there is a gurgling sound of flowing water inside, I don't know how Ruan Dacheng designed, in short, this garden has the taste of Suzhou garden, the layout is extremely elegant,

I didn't see any other guests, obviously Ruan Dacheng only invited a few people from Luo Jian today, which shows that he took a few people very seriously in his heart.

After everyone sat down in the hall, Ruan Dacheng asked his family to come out to meet Wei Guogong.

Suddenly, Yingying Yanyan came up with a group, Ruan Dacheng really had a lot of wives and concubines, old and young, and Liu Lan was in a daze for a while.

didn't introduce his wife and concubine Ruan Dacheng one by one, and after seeing them, they all retreated.

Ruan Dacheng called over a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing at the end, and specially introduced her: "Xinghua, Liulan girl, Xiao Wang, this is the little girl Lizhen, Liniang has come to see a few angels." ”

Since Li Niang entered the hall, a pair of pretty eyes had already secretly swept over several people, and finally stayed on Luo Jian's body for a long time.

"Little woman Lizhen has seen a few angels." Li Niang stepped forward and blessed a few people.

Liu Lan looked at Ruan Lizhen with scrutinizing eyes, feeling that this little girl still looked like a middle school student, but she pretended to be mature on her face, and she was a little funny in her heart.

"Miss Ruan, come to my sister." Liu Lan shouted.

Li Niang was not hypocritical, she walked to Liu Lan and sat down, but her eyes secretly looked at Luo Jian opposite.

"Xinghua has had a good time in Nanjing for the past two days?" Ruan Dacheng said.

"Hehe, it's good, I went to talk to the Ma Ge Department for a long time in the morning, by the way, Brother Yuanhai, you may be in charge of this military department?" Luo Jian remembered Gu Yanwu's matter and tried to ask Ruan Dacheng.

"Although the foolish brother is a nominal secretary of the military department, in fact, he is only doing the things of the military department now, and this military department is still in charge of the Ma Ge department."

Luo Jian listened to Ruan Dacheng's words with a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Then Brother Yuanhai, the secretary of the Ministry of War, may be in charge? I would like to ask for someone from the Ministry of War. ”

"I don't know who Xinghua wants? The secretaries of this military department are all small officials who are not in the stream, and of course the foolish brother can call the shots. ”

When Ruan Dacheng heard it, it was really not a big deal, but the secretary of the military department of the Ming Dynasty was not even an official, of course, it was just a matter of one sentence.

"That's good, I'm still going to go to the Ma Pavilion Department to get someone, since Brother Yuanhai has solved it here, I will save trouble."

Luo Jian was very happy, Gu Yanwu's problem was solved, and this trip was not in vain.

"Xinghua, today the Ministry of War issued an order to the Zhenjiang Water Division, but what do you want?" Ruan Dacheng asked.

"Oh, Brother Yuanhai also knows about this? I went to ask for it from the Cabinet Department. Luo Jian didn't want to talk about his combat concept here with Ruan Dacheng, so he just said vaguely.

"However, Brother Fool has to remind you, even with the transfer of the Ministry of War, whether the water division of Zhenjiang can be transferred depends on two words, Huang Fei can try it, Zheng Hongkui, you don't have to count on it."

"Thank you, Brother Yuanhai, for reminding me, Xinghua is self-saving."

"I heard that Miss Liu had some conflicts with the son of the Baoguo family yesterday? What the hell is it for? "Ruan Dacheng's ears are very smart, and he is extremely concerned about what happened in Nanjing on weekdays, not to mention the people who are related to Luo Jian.

"We originally wanted to find a storefront, but we didn't expect to meet this Hua Hua Tai Sui, if we weren't afraid of causing trouble for Brother Luo, we really wanted to shoot him!" Speaking of this, Liu Lan's anger has not subsided.

When Ruan Dacheng heard this, he remembered the small pistol that Liu Lan took out of her bag when she was in Jiangdu, and she was secretly worried about Zhu Gongzi in her hand.

"Miss Liulan, it's a trivial matter to find a storefront, where is the need for you to come forward in person, I still have a few shops here, which one Miss Liu likes, just take it directly." Ruan Dacheng said with a smile.

"What you said is true?" Liu Lan said unceremoniously.

"Of course it's true, let Liniang accompany you to choose early tomorrow morning, what do you think?" Ruan Dacheng said very truthfully, and when Liu Lan heard it, she was quite happy that it was easy to save trouble.

This kind of small-scale family banquet did not bore Luo Jian, no servants came forward to drink, Ruan Dacheng just asked Liniang to pour wine for everyone, and the meal was very enjoyable.

After eating, Ruan Dacheng wanted to leave a few people to come down to watch the opera, Luo Jian knew that the performances at this time were all Kunqu opera, and he didn't understand them at all, and he was not interested, and he had to discuss things with Shi Kefa when he went back, so he insisted on saying goodbye and going back.

Seeing that Luo Jian insisted on going back, Li Niang's face showed a disappointed look, but Luo Jian and the others had already gone out and didn't see it.

When they arrived at Shi Ke's mansion and saw the old lady as usual, several people came to the hall and sat down.

Luo Jian told Shi Kefa about going to Ma Shiying today, and said that Shi Kefa was also happy to find two talents.

Shi Kefa also informed Luo Jian that Huang Degong had already arrived in Zhenjiang today and had already sent someone to inform him.

Early the next morning, Luo Jian got up and rode straight to Zhenjiang with Wang Sicheng and more than a dozen guards.
