Chapter 91: What if I Die?
"Don't worry, the old slave will help the general find out the details of this person." Steward Cui took over the matter.
"General Ben brought you to recognize people just to let you help General Ben check." If you don't find out the identity and origin of this person, Cui Bo didn't dare to move, his father confessed to him before he came out, no matter how foolish he is, how lustful he is, a woman who is not innocent must not make up her mind, maybe it is a spy of the enemy country or an agent of the emperor, let him not be careful.
He kept his father's words in mind.
"Yes." Steward Cui 'took the order'.
"The general is gone." Before Steward Cui found out the origin of this person, Cui Bo would not be confused because of this woman's beauty, and be careful to make the Wannian ship.
Don't he dare to ruin his father's hard-earned foundation because of his lustful moment, otherwise his father would not have killed him with his own hands?
"Steward Cui, after I leave, you will send someone to check what Gu Heng is doing with that old woman? Come back and report it to me. Cui Bo was still a little frightened of Gu Heng, this person had a bad temper, and he dared to defy the Nanlin Pass, at that time he wanted to dispose of him with military regulations, if it wasn't for his father repeatedly telling him in the letter not to clash with the veterans under General Situ, Gu Heng would still be alive now?
However, he can now understand his father's good intentions to persuade him, Gu Heng can't plug the gap in the south of the pass at all, some time ago his men and horses lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, and his father sent his 20,000 troops lost 10,000 at once, his father knew that he didn't scold him to death, he didn't dare to report this matter to his father, so he had to ask Gu Heng to go back in a low voice, and didn't want to ask about the deployment of Nanlinguan anymore, just like his father said, as long as he guarded the southern border peacefully for three years, and after earning military merits, he would be transferred back to Beijing, What is there to be angry with these border guards, these people will die sooner or later, just save his life.
"Don't worry, General, even if the General doesn't give orders, the old slave will go to check General Gu."
Steward Cui's 'loyalty' made Cui Bo not doubt it, and he left with confidence.
When Cui Bo left, Steward Cui glanced at the splendid silk and returned to the general's mansion with a calm face.
As soon as Xiang'er entered the store, she shouted: "Sister Wan, Sister Wan." ”
An Ran was thinking about whether he should go to Master Zhong's house again, when he heard Xiang'er's call, he turned around and asked, "Xiang'er, are you here so late today?" Is something wrong? ”
Xiang'er shook her head, "I came early because Cui Bo kept me on the opposite street and didn't let me in, sister, Cui Bo has already asked Steward Cui to recognize someone to investigate you, what should I do?" ”
"Last night, he kept asking me about your family background and who you married? I said that my sister separated from me when she was a child, and later she only knew that she had married a person with a good family background, and I also wanted to ask my sister who her husband was, but my sister only said that this matter was a secret and could not be told to me, so let me not inquire. ”
Xiang'er said a lot in one breath, her mouth was dry, and she picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a glass of water.
"Let's have tea first." An Ran saw that Xiang'er was so nervous about her, and her heart was moved, and she stroked her back and said: "You dealt with it right, Xiang'er, don't blame my sister for not telling you about your brother-in-law, I'm just afraid that one day I will get close to you, Cui Bo will find out your brother-in-law through you, you can't tell him if you don't know, you are already on the verge of danger, if you add my matter, it will completely push you into the abyss." ”
"I know that my sister has been protecting me, and I can also feel that there seems to be some kind of hatred between my sister and Cui Bo, sister, don't ask me how I guessed, although I am timid, I am not stupid."
An Ran choked for a moment, and said with a dumb smile: "Then do you blame my sister for not telling you the truth?" ”
In fact, An Ran wanted to ask if she would be blamed for using her words, but the words still became the original thing, Xiang'er is not the kind of person who thinks too much, her mind is very simple, she will be grateful to whoever treats her well, if she asks so, it hurts the feelings between the sisters.
"My sister protects me everywhere, I'm too late to be grateful, didn't my sister just say, tell me that it is pushing me into the abyss, Xiang'er knows what's wrong, I don't know anything, I only know that my sister is my sister." Sister Wan is now taking the trouble all the way to herself, can she not understand Sister Wan's hard work? If she still blames her sister, then she is too ignorant, but her sister has attracted Cui Bo's attention so much, can she really deal with it?
"Sister, are you really sure to deal with Cui Bo? Don't let him hurt you? ”
"Cui Bo is not important." An Ran and Wei Lin didn't take Cui Bo in their eyes, Wei Lin is also the deputy general of the southern realm, not to mention that there are many of his life and death comrades here, but Cui Bo He doesn't know about it, and no one told him, although Cui Bo is the general of the town in the south, but it is no different from being blind, Wei Lin told him last night, no one served Cui Bo before the veterans of the border, so she didn't have to be afraid, if there was something to tell Kong Mu Zhao to recite a single name to raise Jiang He and them, they would know how to protect her, speaking of which, she didn't know who the four of them were? I only know one Gu Heng.
"Sister, just four or five men entered the store and left, who are they? I saw that Cui Bo's face had changed. "The person who can make Cui Bo stop and dare not enter the store must be a big shot, right? Otherwise, why is Cui Bo so nervous?
"They're here to protect us." An Ran said with a smile.
"Protect us?" Xiang'er's eyes lit up, "It's still my sister who is amazing." ”
It seems that my sister's husband, Deputy General Junwei, is a powerful person, and seeing that my sister is so confident, she should be able to compete with Cui Bo.
"Now you can rest assured." An Ran touched Xiang'er's head and smiled.
"Cui Bo asked me a little angrily last night, even if I don't know who you are married to, but I should always know where my sister's husband's surname is approximately, right? I only said that my sister is from the capital, her husband's surname is Wei, Cui Bo left after being silent for a long time, sister, you said I wouldn't hit me by mistake, right? I thought at the time that the surname Wei was a big surname, and there should be many people with the surname Wei in the capital, and Cui Bo should not be able to find it if he wanted to, right? Xiang'er didn't dare to hide the conversation between her and Cui Bo, for fear of getting her sister into trouble.
"Xiang'er, you're very smart." An Ran was very satisfied with Xiang'er's answer, "Sister knows that you can deal with Cui Bo." ”
Xiang'er was embarrassed to be praised, "It's also my sister who taught me well, and my sister often advised me not to be impulsive and to deal with things calmly, so when I faced Cui Bo's questioning, I thought about it and answered, my sister didn't blame me." ”
"How can I blame you, silly girl." With Xiang'er's vague answer, coupled with Steward Cui's covert protection, An Ran thought that Cui Bo would have no ill intentions towards her, and there would be no movement in the short term. fresh
Steward Cui will definitely 'check' for a long time.
She has enough energy to make her business bigger for a long time, after all, Wei Lin has been a deputy general in the south for eight years, and she has a lot of contacts, plus it is not difficult for her to arrange reliable eyeliner in the capital, and she has planned everything safely.
"Sister-in-law." Shan Mingyang ran into the store, "The price is negotiated, the front and back yards, five taels of silver a year." ”
"How many houses are there?" An Ran asked.
Shan Mingyang glanced at Xiang'er beside An Ran, thinking that she was a guest in the store, so he bowed to her, and Xiang'er also blessed her body and returned the gift.
How can ordinary guests return the gift to their subordinates?
"Twelve rooms in the backyard and six in the front yard, sister-in-law, is it enough?" If it is not enough, there are two firewood rooms in the backyard that can be cleaned up, and he asked the king outside, if the room is not enough, it can be used as a compartment.
But he thinks it's enough, no matter how many girls his sister-in-law buys, it's no problem for three people to live in a room in the backyard, in fact, he doesn't know how many girls his sister-in-law wants to buy, he only heard his sister-in-law say that he wants to rent a house in the front and back yards, so he went to rent, and five taels of silver a year is really not expensive, and Wang Yuanwai is still a lot cheaper because of old acquaintances.
"Enough." When An Ran heard that there were so many rooms, she felt that she couldn't use them, and her plan was to buy six girls, and twelve rooms were more than enough.
The six rooms in the front yard are also enough to accommodate these brothers.
If only the family could move in.
An Ran thought that he lived in a thatched house, and he rented a big house with two courtyards for the guys, so he smiled bitterly in his heart.
"I'll give you the silver, and I'll trouble my brother to help me make another trip to sign the contract." Go and get the money safely.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, why don't you go and see for yourself? I'm afraid that the house I like doesn't suit you, so what should I do? Shan Mingyang didn't expect his sister-in-law to believe in him so much.
"You live on the left and right." An Ran handed him five taels of silver, "Besides, no matter how bad the house in the front and back yards is, you just think you can live comfortably, by the way, dare to ask your brother's name?" ”
"Under the surname list, my sister-in-law just calls me famous." A single name is raised and saluted peacefully.
"Well, then I'll call you Brother Ming."
Shan Mingyang was embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to sign a contract with Wang Yuanwai." ”
Shan Mingyang left, An Ran saw that there was still the last unfinished thing on the list, and after thinking about it, he still walked by himself, and he didn't know what happened to the handsome man in white who was chased by a group of fierce and vicious strong men yesterday? Enron was quite worried.
"Sister, where are you going?" Xiang'er saw her sister walking outside the store, so she stopped her.
"Oh, I'm going to buy something and I'll be back soon." Enron lied.
After leaving the store, An Ran trotted all the way into the alley, the alley was very secluded, until An Ran walked into Master Zhong's house and asked him to add another loom, and he didn't meet any passers-by, let alone the handsome guy in white.
People are just running for their lives and passing through the alley, how can they come today?
Just as An Ran was a little depressed and returned to the store, a white dress appeared in front of her, "Girl, looking for me?" ”
"......" An Ran was surprised and a little angry: "Which eye did you see me looking for you?" ”
"I didn't have any eyes to see it, but I just saw that you kept looking around left and right when you came, and I was thinking that you and I had a relationship yesterday, so I showed up and asked." The man in white shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.
An Ran was discovered, so he didn't hide it, and admitted with a smile: "Yes, I suddenly met such a handsome man being chased and killed, and I always wonder if this person is dead, right?" ”
"What if I die?"
"If you're dead, you're dead, anyway, a lot of people die every day in this world."
"Don't you feel sorry?"
"There's a little bit, so why don't you just come and see it?"
The two looked at each other for about half a minute, and laughed at the same time, and the man in white introduced himself: "In the next Chen Zi period." ”
