As soon as Yang Chao came home, he heard his parents arguing.

I only heard my mother say, "Look at this." If you have a little money in your hand, you don't know the north, south, east, and west. You have nothing to do with the surnamed Xu, now you have to pay the account. My son has so much money to get, and I'm going to lose it for you! ”

The father sighed: "Don't I want to redeem the shop, I just asked if I can return the money, can I return the shop to our family." Who knew that Xu Qianhu said that I must have money, and asked me to pay back the money quickly. I've said it all, I don't have any money. ”

Yang Chao heard his parents arguing in the east room, and immediately understood the meaning.

Probably because his father couldn't hold it back, he went to Xu Zhongxiao, and he wanted to test it and repay the unwarranted debt of 1,000 taels, whether the Xu family would return the Yang family's ancestral blacksmith shop to the Yang family.

Yang Yong's thinking was too simple, where could he fight the old and treacherous Jinyi Wei Baihu Xu Zhongxiao, Xu Zhongxiao suddenly guessed that the Yang family might have gotten a sum of money, so he immediately ordered Yang Yong to pay back the money.

Yang Chao sighed secretly in his heart, did not go to his West House, and knocked on the door of the East House directly.

Seeing that my mother's eyes were red, my father hung his head in despair.

The mother opened the door to let Yang Chao in, and continued to count.

"Look at your father, he can't do anything all day, and he still provokes the surnamed Xu if he has nothing to do. I don't know that the person surnamed Xu cannibalism doesn't spit out bones, we can't hide, and we still provoke it. ”

"I, I didn't provoke him, I just went to ask......"

"You ask, what do you ask, you ask, what result do you ask!"

The mother didn't let the father speak at all, and the father lamented, sat on the edge of the bed and turned his head to sulk.

"Mother, forget it. You and Daddy go to bed early. Don't worry, it's okay, take care of it for me. ”

Yang Chao smiled and comforted.

The old lady was still going to speak, but when she saw her son say this, she sighed and didn't speak, and she got angry and sulked.

Yang Chao comforted him again, and then went back to his house.

After Xu Zhongxiao asked for the IOU, he didn't take action, but Yang Chao didn't think that Xu Zhongxiao would forget it like that, and sure enough, as soon as he had the opportunity, he came to bully him again.

Yang Chao knew that he had to act faster, otherwise his family would have to suffer a crime, Yang Chao really didn't want to see his father being arrested, so he let himself be pulled back from the Zhenfu Division with a cart.

However, Yang Chao has long been mentally prepared, to be honest, Xu Zhongxiao's movements are quite slow, but there is really not much time left for him, Yang Chao must always be vigilant.

At night, I made a good plan and wrote down all the people I wanted to invite on paper.

Early the next morning, Hu Quan rushed over and hugged a stack of posts in his arms.

This is a regular post specially sold in the post store, and it is the most advanced kind, with a cardboard back and gilding on the side.

Yang Chao filled in the posts in one go, and then took out a few of them, and then went out with Hu Quan.

Hu Quan asked, "Brother Yang, where are we going today?" ”

Yang Chao said: "First come with me to meet Qian Qianyi." ”

"Qian Qianyi! Qian Muzhai? ”

Hu Quan couldn't help but exclaim, Qian Muzhai is a legendary character to him, he is a scholar who can't pass the exam, Qian Muzhai is a figure like the leader of the literary world, and he is a generation of grandmasters.

Yang Chao nodded, Liu Ruyi's request was Qian Qianyi, if Qian Qianyi was not invited, Liu Ru would not participate in Yang Chao's grand event, Liu Ru would not go, Li Xiangjun would obviously not be able to go, and he would lose two courtesans at once, especially in Li Xiangjun, the most prestigious in Nanjing City, and the influence of this grand event would not be enough.

Yesterday, I learned from Nanshi Lou Kang that Qian Qianyi happened to live in Nanjing, in the house of Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing. No wonder Liu Ru asked Yang Chao to invite Qian Qianyi, it was not entirely difficult for Yang Chao, if Qian Qianyi was in Nanjing City, it would be convenient to invite him.

The Zhu Mansion is on the edge of the inner bridge.

Along the South Gate Street all the way to the north, there is a canal, this river from east to west, across the south of Nanjing, called Yundu, is a canal dug artificially, the inner bridge is the bridge across Yundu.

The location of the inner bridge is extremely important, because he is on the same line as the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the Changgan Bridge and the South City Gate Jubao Gate, which is also the central axis of Nanjing City.

Zhu Guobi's family started very early, Yongle period is a hereditary officer, can be regarded as the founder of the country meritorious people, the second generation of ancestor Zhu Qian, because the north resisted the attack of the Wara Mongols, and finally became a marquis. Therefore, Zhu Guobi can be said to be a prince for generations, and Zhu Guobi himself is already the Marquis of Funing.

And this person openly shows that he is a member of the Donglin Party, and he was once suspended for opposing Wei Zhongxian and impeaching Wei Zhongxian, but he is a minister, and Wei Zhongxian can't kill him.

Therefore, this person is an old Donglin with brilliant achievements and fame, and it is normal for Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, to live in his house.

Walking across the inner bridge, you can see the red lacquered gate of Zhufu, with shining copper nails on it, and two huge stone lions in front of the door.

The housekeeper at the door was dressed in green clothes, wearing a small hat, and carrying a water and fire stick in his hand, a total of two people, holding the stick and dozing off.

Yang Chao coughed, woke up the two people, and immediately glared angrily and lifted the stick.

"Two, don't be impatient, we were sent by Miss Liu Ru to send an invitation to Qian Muzhai Gong."

Yang Chao smiled and bowed, took out the invitation, and at the same time, an attractive large piece of silver had been raised.

When he saw the silver family, he immediately smiled, and his subordinate Yinzi said: "Say it earlier!" Wait. ”

A housekeeper ran in quickly, and soon ran out again.

said to Yang Chao: "Mr. Qian said it, he knows." ”

"Got it?"

Yang Chao couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, could it be that Qian Qianyi disagreed, according to Yang Chao's thoughts, Qian Qianyi also admired Liu Ruyi, and when he heard that Liu Ru was the person sent, he couldn't invite him in to ask a few words, and by the way, let him reply a little bit or something.

Yang Chao couldn't help asking, "Mu Zhaigong didn't say anything else?" ”

Jia Ding said: "The old gentleman only said that he knew three words. ”

Yang Chao nodded and patted Hu Quan: "Go!" ”

Hu Quan said worriedly: "Qian Mu Zhaigong disagrees? ”

Yang Chao said: "Ignore him." Let's go to the next one. ”

Leaving from Zhufu, I went straight to the south, all the way to Sanfang Lane, and then to the west through two alleys, which is a big yamen.

Jiangning County Ya.

gave Menzi a penny of broken silver and asked Menzi to hand over an invitation.

Soon Menzi hurriedly came out and said that Jiangning Zhixian had an invitation.

Follow the door into the county office, past the porch, is a cover wall, walk through the cover wall, the first thing you see is a pavilion, the pavilion is in the middle of the yamen courtyard.

Yang Chao was also puzzled for a moment, and when he saw a tablet standing in the center of the pavilion, he realized that this was a ring stone.

On the other side of the pavilion is a lobby, and the prefectural order is usually in that place. When walking through the pavilion, Yang Chao also deliberately glanced at it, and the inscription read: "Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive!" ”
