Chapter 267: The Best Relative
Since Shangguan Yu came out, he didn't plan to go back to the barracks so soon.
After all, Bai Ling was a girl's family, and it was not convenient to live in the barracks, so he could only try to find time to accompany Bai Ling in Zixiao City.
The two wore scarbs and walked down the street hand in hand, but no one noticed that the man was the young marshal they revered.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, the conversation of those people, but the meaning of attacking?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice.
"They're looking for someone." It didn't involve military secrets, and Shangguan Yu was not afraid that Bai Ling would add danger if he knew about it, so he told Bai Ling the translated content, and he didn't even hide the news he received.
"A thirteen-year-old boy who came to the Eastern Han Kingdom to find his biological mother?" Bai Ling was a little surprised, and the face of the little boy who gave the silver flashed in his mind, "If that little boy has an accident in the Eastern Han Kingdom, will there be trouble?" ”
"There is no envoy's letter of state, and there is no normal customs clearance document, even if he really has an accident in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a small tribal leader does not dare to make a big fuss, even if he wants to track down the murderer, he has to plead with an attitude." Shangguan Yu said in a flat tone.
Bai Ling nodded, she didn't care much about national affairs, but she also understood what Shangguan Yu meant.
"But Hakda loves this little son very much, if he can send people back safely, the border can be less harassing for the time being." Shangguan Yu said again.
"This little boy's biological mother is a woman from the Eastern Han Dynasty, can she inherit the position of tribal leader in the future?" Bai Ling asked.
"Hakda is not very old, and it is not a problem to be the leader for another ten or eight years. His sons have a big difference in grade, Harlem has never had merit, and it is not easy to inherit the position of chief. Shangguan Yu explained, a light flowing through his eyes.
"Harlem?" Bai Ling almost spitted.
"What, Ling'er knows him?" The hat blocked Shangguan Yu's facial features, but Bai Ling still sensed the chill in his eyes.
"Hehe, I just think this name is very ...... Interesting. Bai Ling explained dryly.
In his own time, many people of the older generation had heard Harlem's songs, especially the passionate desert song, although Bai Ling couldn't sing the whole song, he could hum a sentence or two along with it.
It's just that this Haring is not better than Haring, Bai Ling just thinks that the son of a tribal leader is called this name, which is a little less domineering.
Of course, it is not excluded that in the language of the Luoshang tribe, Harlem is a name with a good meaning.
"Ling'er really doesn't know?" Shangguan Yu expressed skepticism.
Thinking that there was a man who would make Bai Ling laugh when he thought of it, Shangguan Yu felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his sour breath bubbled out.
"I lied to you, do you have any money?" Bai Ling snorted and dragged Shangguan Yu's hand forward.
Thinking in his heart, he turned around and asked Uncle Zhong to confirm the identity of the little boy, but he didn't plan to tell Shangguan Yu until he was unsure.
"There are more people in this generation, if Ling'er is doing business, it is best not to be here, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Shangguan Yu saw that Bai Ling still wanted to move forward, so he gave advice.
"With the banner of Shangguan and Young Marshal, are you still afraid that you will be bullied?" Bai Ling asked funny, pointing to a three-story small building and said: "It seems that I am lucky today, such a good shop is going to be sold, if I can win it, I will save a lot of decoration costs when I turn around." ”
Shangguan Yu squinted his eyes, but he didn't say anything to keep up with Bai Ling's pace.
"Guest officer, our restaurant is no longer doing business, if you want to eat and stay in the hotel, let's go somewhere else." The two entered the shop, and a young man who looked like a man was lying on the table yawning, and he didn't even raise his head.
"We want to buy a shop and let someone who can call the shots come and talk about it." Bai Ling spoke up and sat down near the door.
"Is what the guest officer said true?" The guy was overjoyed, and then wilted and said: "This girl doesn't look like she is rich, I advise the girl to go and see other shops, and if you smash it in your hands in the future, our owner can't bear it." ”
"You guy is funny, you don't even speak for your own owner, so you're not afraid of losing your salary?" Bai Ling asked with a smile, but he didn't take the trouble of the shop seriously.
With Shangguan Yu here, it would not be a problem for Bai Ling to walk sideways in Zixiao City.
"I told the guy to do it." An old man came out coughing and ordered, "Go and serve a pot of tea, bring two plates of snacks, and I'll talk to this girl." ”
"Yes, host." The guy replied respectfully, not lazy.
"You two want to buy my shop, have you inquired before?" The old man asked after sitting down.
"No, I didn't." Bai Ling said honestly.
"Alas!" The old man sighed, and a look of helplessness appeared on the old man's face, "The old ancestor has lived in Zixiao City for three generations, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. But when it came to the generation of the old decrepit son, he abandoned the merchant and joined the army, and the old man was afraid that the sword would be broken without an eye on the battlefield, so he let him marry and leave incense before he could join the army. ”
"Although my son is a stubborn temper, he is still filial, so he brought back a daughter-in-law who is not very bright, and the old man did not want to embarrass his son, so he approved of this family business. Until the daughter-in-law had a body and the son also went to join the army, he was still promising, mixed with a centurion, and the daughter-in-law also gave birth to a granddaughter to our family. ”
"The young couple gets together less and leaves more, and the daughter-in-law has no good news, but my son is on the battlefield...... I wanted to keep my granddaughter growing up, and recruit a son-in-law in the future and leave this property to them, which can be regarded as a continuation of the incense. But who knows, General Zuo's brother-in-law has taken a fancy to my daughter-in-law and has to let her do the continuation! ”
Speaking of this, the old man was visibly resentful.
"How can a merchant like us beat General Zuo's brother-in-law? My son's friends in the army wanted to help, but they couldn't meet the general. Just a few days ago, the old man Liu sent a matchmaker to the door and told us that three days later would be the day of marriage, and if the bride did not go on the sedan chair, he would rob the bride. ”
"I don't want my son to die blindly, so I think that I can always hide if I can't provoke them, and take them away from home, there is always a way out. But Master Liu knew my thoughts, so he sent people to guard in the tavern opposite and in the alley at the back door, and as long as my daughter-in-law dared to step out, they would kidnap people. ”
"It's not going to work, I'm going to sell the shop, and I'll find someone to settle the matter, as long as Master Liu can let my daughter-in-law go." But Master Liu said, who dares to buy my shop, I guarantee that I won't be able to do business in the future, which is obviously going to cut off all the retreats of our family! ”
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, but Bai Ling was paying attention to Shangguan Yu's reaction.
Bai Ling didn't know the rank in the army, and those who could become generals must have a certain weight in the army.
And a general Zuo's brother-in-law can be so domineering in Zixiao City, do other generals also have all kinds of superb relatives?
"How much money does my husband plan to sell the restaurant?" Shangguan Yu opened his mouth calmly, trying to restrain his coldness, so as not to frighten the old man.
"Fifty thousand taels." The old man sighed: "If it weren't for this incident, even if I was given 150,000 taels of silver, I wouldn't have sold it, this is the inheritance passed down from my ancestors!" ”
