179. The streets of the city are in turmoil
After Cheng Yuan was called back, An Yuanwai remembered that An Zhan had told him not long ago that he had invited a female painter to come back, so he put down the money in his hand and went to An Zhan, walked to the door of his room and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door.
Steward Lin was supervising the work of the people in the courtyard, and when he saw that An Yuanwai had been knocking on the door of Young Master An Zhan's room, he came over and said, "Master, the little young master went out this morning." ”
"Gone out so early?" An Yuanwai raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about the female painter?" Is she still there? ”
Steward Lin replied, "The little young master went out with that female painter this morning. ”
An Yuanwai was worried that the portraits of Cheng Yuan on those marriage notices were really painted by An Zhan and the female painter, and the marriage notices were also made by the two of them, so he hurriedly sent his subordinates out to find An Zhan and Feng Yuanzhi.
An Zhan pulled Feng Yuanzhi's wide sleeves and walked on the street, the streets of the city were much more lively than before, and there were many more women than usual.
A group of people and groups of people gathered around one marriage notice after another, talking about it while reading the marriage notice.
At this time, a white-clothed boy said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the apprentice of Cheng Yuan, one of the five great masters of Qin Yuan Kingdom, and I have been with the master for many years, I know the temperament of the master best, if anyone can marry my master, this life will definitely be happy!" ”
Cheng Yuan's apprentice?
An Zhan was stunned for a moment, and for a moment suspected that he had heard it wrong, and wanted to see what the talking boy looked like, but the boy was surrounded by a group of people, he was just a nine-year-old young master, and he couldn't see anything when he was blocked like this. An Zhan said puzzledly: "Master never said that in addition to me, he also took in other apprentices who had stayed in the Fengwu Bureau almost all the time. ”
Feng Yuanzhi said: "Your master didn't tell you, did he accept any other disciples except for the Fengwu Bureau?" ”
An Zhan said: "Master said, except for me, all of his disciples are in the Fengwu Bureau, and his group of disciples are generally not allowed to come out on weekdays, let alone be so swaggering. ”
Feng Yuanzhi watched the man in white being surrounded by a group of women, and after pulling An Zhan into the crowd, An Zhan finally saw the appearance of the man in white.
A woman standing behind An Zhan said softly: "Sure enough, he is Cheng Yuan's disciple, and he is so beautiful, you tell us, what kind of beautiful man is Cheng Yuan, will he like a girl like me?" ”
Before the white-clothed boy could reply, another girl said: "This son, you are Cheng Yuan's apprentice, tell me, what kind of character is Cheng Yuan?" How can I approach him? How can I get him to like me? ”
Feng Yuanzhi stood on An Zhan's right, and the woman on An Zhan's left said, "Where is your master's house?" I've only heard about the Fengwu Bureau all along, and if I can know where he lives, I'll definitely go to the door to propose to him! ”
In the crowd, another woman said shyly: "This marriage notice, shouldn't it be sent by your master to do it?" I knew that I had liked him for so many years, and it must have come to a good end, no, he used to post marriage notices to attract my attention, and soon we could tie the knot. ”
"Poof!"
"Who is so narcissistic?"
...............
The group of girls around him all kept talking, and the man in white said loudly: "What you want to know, I have the answer here, but my master has a very high status in Qin Yuan Kingdom, and things related to him must not be said casually, but as long as each person pays ten cents here, I can answer everything she wants to know and everything I know to the person who pays the money!" ”
"Ahh Ten dollars for you, immediately tell me what kind of person he likes the most on weekdays, and how I can win his like. ”
"I'll give you ten cents too, tell me what I look like, do you have a chance?"
.............
Looking at this group of excited women, An Zhan rolled his eyes, took Feng Yuanzhi's hand and walked out of the crowd, and said, "This liar! It's just to be able to deceive that group of girls. ”
At this time, Steward Lin ran up and said breathlessly, "Little Master, I finally found you, so you are here!"
An Zhan was surprised, "Lao Lin, what's the matter with coming to me in such a hurry?" ”
Steward Lin said, "Little master, the master asked you to go back to the house." ”
"Why did you suddenly call me home?"
An Zhan looked up at Feng Yuanzhi and said, "Xiao Zhi, let's go back." ”
Feng Yuanzhi nodded, and after returning to the Anfu compound with An Zhan, An Yuanwai walked up to An Zhan and asked, "Zhan'er, did you do the marriage notice on the streets of Tangcheng?" ”
An Zhan lowered his head, sank his face and said, "Dad, I'm ........... I do not know. ”
An Yuan looked at his appearance and said sharply: "Zhan'er, you tell me the truth!" ”
An Zhan took a breath and said, "Yes, I did it." ”
An Yuanwai turned his gaze to Feng Yuanzhi and said, "Those portraits, but you painted them?" ”
Feng Yuanzhi thought to herself, these portraits were not painted, but they were all conjured by her spiritual power. She nodded and said, "I painted it." ”
An Zhan thought that An Yuanwai would punish him severely, but he didn't expect that he just called Steward Lin up and said, "Old Lin, you take some people to do some good things." ”
Steward Lin asked, "Master, what good things do you want to do?" ”
An Yuanwai said: "Immediately take a group of subordinates to distribute food to the poor people outside the gate of Anfu." ”
Steward Lin looked dazed and asked puzzledly, "Why do you suddenly distribute food?" ”
The security officer waved his hand and said coldly: "If you want to go, you will go!" ”
Steward Lin said respectfully: "Yes, master." ”
Not long after, Steward Lin took a group of people and carried bags of grain to the gate of the mansion and shouted: "Send food, come and get it!" ”
It didn't take long for a lot of people to come to the gate of Anfu, and there was a long queue.
An Zhan asked puzzledly: "Dad, why do you want to go out to distribute food?" ”
An Yuanwai said: "You have caused such a big disaster in Shancheng, how can you do it without fighting for people's hearts?" ”
"Huh?" An Zhan didn't understand what this meant by fighting for people's hearts.
After Cheng Yuan was summoned into the palace, the Fengwu Bureau sent a big disciple of Cheng Yuan named Hua Qingfeng to take people to search around the city to find out where the marriage notice came from, thinking that there could be hundreds of identical ones, and they would not all be drawn.
Painting Qingfeng asked the two junior brothers to arrest the boss of the printing bureau, and then took a group of junior disciples to the street of Shancheng, and heard the personal news of someone shouting to sell his master Cheng Yuan from a distance.
"I am Cheng Yuan's most proud apprentice, my master I know best, as long as ten yuan, as long as ten yuan, you can know all the things about him!"
Painting Qingfeng frowned, followed the voice, and saw that the person shouting was a white-clothed boy with a raw face, and said, "He is the master's apprentice?" When did Master take in this kind of apprentice? ”
A man behind him said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother, that person looks like a liar, maybe those marriage notices were made by him, and the purpose is to make money like this." ”
Hearing this, the painting looked terrified, walked over and pushed away the onlookers, kicked it up, and the man in white kicked him backwards for more than a dozen steps, and finally hit a wall.
"You......... Who are you? The man in white exclaimed.
Painting Qingfeng said coldly: "Didn't you say that you are Cheng Yuan's apprentice?" Why don't you even recognize your fellow brother? ”
The man in white turned pale for a moment: Senior brother of the same family? Could it be that he is Cheng Yuan's eldest disciple?
The boy in white looked panicked, ran away, painted a light wind and flew up, and then landed in front of him to stop him, and towards the group of juniors and disciples he brought, he said, "Arrest him!" ”
The man in white watched the group of people walk towards him step by step, and said, "Why do you arrest people on the street?" ”
The people from the Fengwu Bureau grabbed him and pressed him to the ground, and said coldly: "Arrest people casually? You pretended to be someone from our Fengwu Bureau, swaggering and deceiving here, ruining the reputation of the Fengwu Bureau, and you dare to say that we are arresting people casually? ”
"Cut! It turned out to be a lie! Among the many onlookers, one of them said dissatisfied.
Then, a group of people came from outside the crowd, smashing the white-clothed man with vegetables, and said angrily while smashing: "Cheated me out of ten cents, return all the money to me!" ”
A few overly impulsive girls rushed up and kicked him a few times, kicking and scolding while asking him to pay back the money.
After painting a light breeze and letting the junior brother pull these irascible women away, he walked up to the man in white and asked, "Let me ask you, did you do those marriage notices posted on the streets of Tangcheng?" ”
The man in white waved his hand and said, "It's not me!" Not me! ”
Painting Qingfeng said coldly: "It's not you, who is that?" ”
"I don't know who it is."
The man in white pondered for a moment and said: "There are hundreds of marriage notices in this city, all of which are exactly the same, and they are estimated to come from the printing bureau, why not ask the boss of the printing bureau?" ”
Painting the breeze made the other two junior disciples push the boss of the printing bureau out, and the boss of the printing bureau said: "Our printing bureau really hasn't printed these marriage notices!" ”
The man in white said: "Those who can make such a big deal must be rich and noble, and the richest one in our city is Anyuanwai, maybe these marriage notices are all from Anfu." ”
Hua Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "How to get to Anfu?" ”
The man in white said: "Go all the way from here, turn right again, and there is Anfu." ”
Painting Qingfeng said: "Take us there!" ”
When the white-clothed boy brought the group of people from the Fengwu Bureau to the gate of Anfu, he unexpectedly found that there were no less than hundreds of people queuing up at the gate to receive food, and said, "Why did Anyuan start doing good deeds again?" ”
The people who followed this group of people all the way to the gate of Anfu saw that the servants of Anfu were distributing food, and they all ran over to line up excitedly, and said while queuing: "Anyuan is really a bodhisattva's heart!" Doing good again! ”
Another aunt said: "An Yuanwai is a well-known good man in our city, and his nine-year-old son often sends us money!" This Anfu is a good family! ”
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said, "Anfu has such a good reputation in the city, you told me that the marriage notice came out of here?" ”
The man in white stammered, "I'm .......... I'm just looking at ......... After making such a big deal of money in the marriage notice, I thought that ordinary people couldn't spend this money, so I thought of the richest rich man in Shancheng, I ......... I didn't say that it was from Anfu. ”
"Still quibbling!" The painting breeze kicked him hard.
At this time, Lin Zhiyuan, one of the four great masters of the Fengwu Bureau, brought a painter over, and the painter looked at the portrait on the marriage notice, and said to Lin Zhiyuan in surprise that it was not a painted portrait.
Painting Qingfeng walked up to Lin Zhiyuan and told him what he knew in the city. Lin Zhiyuan thought to himself, the boss of the printing bureau said that the hundreds of identical marriage notices were not printed, and the painter said that these portraits were not drawn, so where did these marriage notices come from?
