Qin Qiong picked up her wine glass, "It seems that we are really fateful, I have a glass with Shixin and Brother Cheng." ”

After speaking, Qin Qiong gave Luo Shixin another look, Luo Shixin understood, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, we don't know each other." ”

"It's a good don't fight, you don't know each other! I drank it from Lao Cheng. ”

Cheng Yanjin is not a person who holds grudges, Luo Shixin called himself eldest brother again, and a little resentment in his heart was already gone, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it with the two of them.

At this time, an entourage appeared at the door and said to Xu Shiji and Cheng Yanjin: "Two generals, we are leaving, please go back." ”

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly got up and said goodbye to everyone, Zhang Xuan sent them downstairs, walked to the staircase, he saw that there was no one around, so he took out a piece of his name card and quietly handed it to Xu Shiji, and said in a low voice: "If there is a change in Wagang, the virtuous brother can come to Shandong to find me, and Zhang Xuan will definitely meet him." ”

Xu Shiji accepted the post, nodded silently, and saluted with his fists: "Thank you for the general's love, Duke Mao will leave first!" ”

"I look forward to seeing it later!" Jang Hyun saluted him.

Xu Shiji left first, Zhang Xuan stepped forward again and patted Cheng Biting Jin on the shoulder with a smile, "I'm your proprietor, now I won't recruit you, when you disband, you kid must come to me, otherwise see how I teach you." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded silently, and said with a rare solemnity: "Don't worry, Childe, Lao Cheng understands in his heart that if he takes a wrong step, he will never take a second wrong step!" ”

"Go ahead! Say hello to your mother on my behalf. ”

"Childe, we'll see you in the capital."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "See you in the capital!" ”

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yanjin turned over their horses, quickly left the restaurant, and ran towards the city gate.

Jang Hyun kept watching them walk away before returning to the room

Two days later, everyone finally arrived in the capital, and Zhang Xutuo said to everyone at the gate of the city: "We will break up temporarily, I will report to the military department, and you will find an inn to live in first." Then give me a word of advice, and I'll come to you. ”

Everyone hurriedly saluted, "Take care, big handsome!" ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled and entered the city with his own soldiers first. They found a teahouse outside the city and had lunch, and then drove the mules and horses into the upper east gate.

A noisy and lively atmosphere suddenly came to the face, only to see that Luoyang was several times more lively than before, and the streets were full of scribes and warriors, and it was the beginning of February. There are more than 100,000 scholars from all over the world who came to participate in the imperial examination, plus tens of thousands of warriors who participated in the Heroes Meeting, and the entire Luoyang City seems to have returned to the prosperous era of the emperor.

However, they soon ran into trouble, all the inns in Luoyang were full, and even the monasteries were full of people, so they couldn't find a place to live at all, and even if they spent a high price, they might not be able to rent a house, either to go to villages outside the city, or to stay in Yinque County or Yanshi County.

When everyone was at a loss, Zhang Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory, how did I forget that house!"

The house that Zhang Xuan said was the shop in Nanshi that used to sell silk and satin, which was originally the Yang family's shop, which was bought by Zhang Xuan when he returned to Beijing last time, but it was registered in Ah Yuan's name.

Jang Hyun then led everyone to the shop, the door of the shop was still locked, but it was obvious that it had been cleaned, Jang Hyun took the key from the horse bag and opened the door, and everyone rushed in.

The house was empty, tall and spacious. But it's been cleaned and it looks pretty clean.

Luo Shixin looked around and exclaimed, "Brother Zhang, this shop is very big!" ”

Qin Qiong also looked at the house and asked with a smile, "Yuan Ding." Is this your shop? ”

"Sort of! Not in my name, though. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said to everyone: "There seems to be a livestock shed in the backyard, everyone first place the horses and livestock, the house is very large, everyone can find a place to rest at will!" ”

Everyone led the horses to the backyard, at this time. The door creaked open, and an old man who looked like a domestic servant walked in, he looked at everyone in a daze, and after a while, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Xuan stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Is this shop cleaned by my father-in-law?" ”

The old man nodded, "Miss Ah Yuan entrusted me to take care of this shop, I will come over to take a look at it sometimes, you are-"

The old man suddenly reacted, "Are you Zhang Gongzi?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "I am!" ”

The old man knew that the owner was coming, so he hurriedly saluted, "It turned out to be the owner, and the little old man saw Zhang Gongzi!" ”

"You're welcome, my father-in-law's surname?"

"The villain's surname is Wu, called Wu Dingli, a native of Qinghe County, and Miss A Yuan is a fellow villager."

Luo Shixin smiled on the side: "If you are from Qinghe County, you should know this Zhang Gongzi-"

Zhang Xuan knew what this stinky boy wanted to say, and glared at him fiercely, Luo Shixin stuck out his tongue in fright, "I didn't say anything, I'll go to the thatched house!" ”

He turned around and ran, and the old man asked puzzledly, "Childe has also been to our Qinghe County?" ”

"Stayed there for a while, we came from Qi County."

"That's very close, just across the Yellow River, and I often went to Qi County to do some small business when I was young."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I want to ask Uncle Wu to help me buy something, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Convenient! Convenient! Nanshi has everything, what does Childe want to buy? ”

Zhang Xuan looked around the house and said with a smile: "It's to buy household items, such as bedding, basins, furniture, etc., and I want to find another reliable groom, and my husband will help me introduce it." ”

Wu Dingli thought for a while and said: "There is a Lin Ji grocery store across the street in front, there is everything in it, I will go and call the shopkeeper immediately, if the son wants to find a groom, my nephew will work in the mule and horse shop, it is a good way, or I will find him?" ”

Zhang Xuan took out an ingot of five taels of gold and handed it to the old man, "This is a hard fee for my father-in-law, and it will be troublesome for my husband during this time." ”

Wu Dingli was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want it, the son gave too much, I can't accept it!" ”

Zhang Xuan forced it into him and said with a smile: "If your nephew comes over to help us take care of the horses, I will give him three times the salary!" ”

Wu Dingli had never seen so much gold in his life, and his heart was full of joy and gratitude, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Then I'll find the grocery store shopkeeper first, and tell him directly what Gongzi wants, or he will come to see what Gongzi needs, and I'll go to find my nephew." ”

"Then it's going to be a problem."

"No trouble! No hassle! ”

Wu Dingli turned around and ran out, and at this time, You Junda, who was waiting on the side, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Yuan Ding, then I'll send a letter to Dashuai and tell him where we live?" ”

"Is Luoyang familiar? Why don't I find someone to take Brother You there. ”

"No need, I've been to Luoyang a few times, so there should be no problem."

You Junda made a salute, led the horse out first, and after a while, the shopkeeper of the grocery store also came, he took a general look around, and knew what they lacked, and soon asked the guy to bring a full set of household items, and the beds were also moved to a dozen, and they were equipped with palm mats, and everyone was busy for an afternoon before they finally cleaned up.

At this time, Wu Dingli also brought his nephew, Wu Dingli's nephew was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, called Wu Gang, who was stocky and stocky, and at first glance he was an honest man, who couldn't speak, and was still timid.

However, this Wu Gang is a very good groom, as soon as he got started, he calmed down a few mules that were a little irritable, and he knew how to prepare horse materials, everyone was very satisfied with him, Zhang Xuan hired him at a day's usual salary, which made Wu Gang surprised and delighted, you must know that this is ten times his usual salary.

In the room, everyone sat in front of the couch and scalded their feet with boiling water, You Junda had already returned, Zhang Xutuo temporarily lived in Yujuluo's house and did not live with them, which made everyone secretly relieved, Dashuai was not around, they were more comfortable.

Luo Shixin was so comfortable that he squinted at Zhang Xuan and said, "Brother Zhang, can you find another little girl, pinch my shoulders, serve me or something, it will be even more beautiful." ”

Qin Qiong next to him scolded with a smile: "Look at you are beautiful, you are still a maid, you kid should hurry up and find a lady to start a family, this is the right thing, your father has told me several times." ”

Zhang Xuan asked with a smile: "Speaking of finding a lady, Shixin, how was your blind date last time?" Is there a result? ”

Luo Shixin pouted, "How can there be any blind date, wasn't I in Wucheng County on the day of the blind date?" As a result, after the war, when I returned to Licheng, the woman had already gone on a blind date with the Yan family, and I was just a child of a poor family, this kind of woman was not uncommon in my Xiaoluo, and I had no patience at all. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Qiong's stick came over, "The stinky boy has itchy skin, what is that kind of woman, that's Runfu's cousin, you say this, beware of Runfu and you are desperate!" ”

"Good! Good! I admit my mistake, don't say it, let's go to the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant for a drink at night, what do you say? ”

This suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone, the grape wine in the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant is indeed nostalgic, Qin Qiong saw that Zhang Xuan was a little hesitant, so he asked: "Is there something wrong with Yuan Ding tonight?" ”

Zhang Xuan actually wanted to meet Pei Ju, he thought about it and smiled: "I'm going to find someone to inquire about the situation, you go and drink!" ”

Qin Qiong understands Zhang Xuan's worries, many things are still confused, and there is no news from Dashuai's side, if Zhang Xuan can ask the situation clearly, it would be the best.

Everyone cleaned up, it was already dusk, a few people walked to the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, Zhang Xuan rode to Pei's mansion, today Zhang Xutuo went to the military department but did not get any news, the head of the military department refused to see him, but Zhang Xuan felt that things were not so simple, there must be something hidden.
