Chapter 32: Chen's Calculations
Jiang Zhiming rubbed his eyes again, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked sleepy, he turned his head and glanced at Gu Yutang, seeing that Gu Yutang was like a flower that was about to wither, and his heart was very unbearable.
He asked Ah Liang behind him, "Isn't there a small kitchen in the courtyard of the seventh old man?" The seventh master slept late these nights, and the second grandmother specially allocated someone for the seventh master to make supper, and when you went to the courtyard of the seventh master, he said that I was hungry, and asked the mother-in-law to make a bowl of noodles and send it over. ”
"His Royal Highness, now that the Seventh Master is studying the art of making, let's rush over like this, I'm afraid that it will disturb the Seventh Master, so let the Gu family girl slow down and wait for breakfast!" It's nothing to be hungry. Ah Liang was reluctant to go, and looked at Jiang Zhimingdao.
The voices of the two watches have passed, maybe Gu Liming has fallen asleep, so he passed for no reason, disturbing other people's dreams, not to mention, and may be kicked out by others.
He didn't want to go, he really didn't want to go.
"Ah Liang, are you going or not going? If you don't go, don't follow me back to Kunming, I'll ask the second grandmother to find you a girl from the countryside, you marry her, and you go to the countryside with her to farm! Jiang Zhiming looked at Ah Liang and said this coldly.
Ah Liang knows his young master's temper, he is a man of his word, if he really doesn't go, I'm afraid he can only stay in the countryside and farm for the rest of his life.
Even if it was the fate of the Seventh Master who risked his crimes, he still had to go through this experience.
This side of the stone fish alley, the two courtyards of Gu Li Pond, and the back door at the foot of the garden.
Chen was dressed in black, and there were three or two little maids standing next to him, standing at the door waiting for Chen Sanshun to come and get the silver.
But Chen didn't wait for Chen Sanshun, but waited for Song Ming, the little servant next to Chen Sanshun, Song Ming parked the carriage not far from the back door, and then got out of the carriage and saluted Chen according to the rules, and then asked: "Mrs., the third master ordered me to get the silver he wanted, I don't know if my wife has made it up?"
Chen smiled, took off the hood, and said, "What about Chen Sanshun?" Why didn't he come, let you come with a little guy. ”
"The third master has recently committed a head wind, and he can't get up for a while in the house, so he specially ordered the villain to take the third master's silver, if the wife gives the silver, the villain has prepared the carriage, and if the wife gives the silver ticket, the villain has also prepared the box. I wonder if my wife has prepared the money?" Song Ming said, his eyes glancing at the big box behind Chen from time to time, thinking that he had prepared the cash.
"Three thousand taels of silver is too much, I haven't made up that much for a while, here is a thousand taels of silver, please bring it back to Chen Sanshun!" As soon as the words fell, Chen moved his body, allowing the big box behind him to be fully exposed to Song Ming's eyes.
"I asked the number of people below, I haven't checked the number yet, if Steward Song is not at ease, go check it!" Chen said, glancing at the pitch-black wall, and winked at the few black-clothed people standing on the wall.
Song Ming had just opened the big box behind Chen, but found that it was empty, and then he realized that he had been tricked, and just when he wanted to retreat, he looked up and saw five black-clothed people coming down and slowly approaching Song Ming.
"What are you doing, ma'am? I'm the steward of the third master! If the third master knew that you had tied me up, he would never give up on this matter. Song Ming said, wanting to find a chance to slip away, but found that the surroundings were already full of people in black.
He looked at Chen and wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by two men in black and stuffed into a big box.
The man in black moved extremely fast, obviously practiced, and Song Ming had already stayed in the big box before he even resisted.
"You've worked hard, and you deserve it." As soon as Chen's words fell, he took out a few silver ingots from his sleeves and threw them into the hands of the black-clothed man at the head.
These black-clothed men are the prodigal sons of the rivers and lakes that the Chen family spent a lot of money on and invited to the black market, and they were specially used to deal with Chen Sanshun. It's a pity that Chen Sanshun didn't come in person this time, if he came this time, she would have called him to come and go.
But it's better to catch Song Ming than nothing, Song Ming is one of Chen Sanshun's most important stewards, often helping him do some shady things, and he also knows Chen Sanshun's residence. If you follow the vine, you will definitely be able to find Chen Sanshun's residence, and she has her own way to make Chen Sanshun unable to say a word.
In this way, no one knows about her previous things, and no one dares to threaten her.
At the Quanfu Inn not far from Shiyu Alley, Chen Sanshun stood at the window of the inn with clairvoyance, watching Chen's every move just now. Unexpectedly, Chen's courage was getting bigger and bigger, and this time he dared to go to the black market to ask someone to deal with him. If he hadn't seen this scene on the black market a few days ago, I'm afraid that he would be caught in a box now, and he wouldn't know where to take it.
Chen Sanshun closed the window, put down the clairvoyance in his hand, and called the servant who was waiting, "You go and report to the Gu family in Qingyu Alley, and tell the eldest wife of the Gu family that the Chen family lives in the Chen Mansion in Shiyu Alley, and the Chen family's son Brother Chang is also there." ”
"Third master, just tell the eldest lady of the Gu family this? Nothing else? If Mrs. Gu asked who asked me to speak, how would the villain answer. The little guy looked at Chen Sanshun and couldn't help asking.
"It's enough to tell her this, Mrs. Gu is a smart person, she knows what I want to say. As for what told her, you can say that it is Chen's brother, and don't reveal a word. I want to see what Chen Meiniang will do?" Chen Sanshun threw the broken silver to the little guy, and the little guy got the silver, smiled and went to do something.
Gu Yutang and Jiang Zhiming waited for a long time before Ah Liang came back from Gu Liming's Yuhua Academy, and came back with a bowl of steaming stewed chicken noodles with shiitake mushrooms, which was obviously freshly prepared.
"Young master, when I go, the mother-in-law on the stove in the seventh master's small kitchen will be sealed, if I go half a minute later, you won't see this bowl of steaming noodles. The mushroom stewed chicken was still a watch, and the old lady ordered Miss Zijuan to send it over, and the mother-in-law said that there was nothing delicious just to eat noodles, so she evenly mixed some mushroom stewed chicken on the noodles. Ah Liang handed the bowl of noodles to Ah Hua, Ah Hua blew the hot air and evened the noodles into two bowls, one bowl was handed to Gu Yutang, and the other bowl was still on the table.
Gu Yutang took a bite and felt that the taste of this stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms was very different from the outside, the chicken was very tender and soft, melted in the mouth, and the mushrooms also had a strong chicken soup flavor, which seemed to have been boiled for several hours. Before the noodles were cold, Gu Yutang had already solved the noodles almost enough, and looked at Jiang Zhiming on the side while eating, only to realize that Jiang Zhiming had been watching her eat noodles.
Seeing that she was eating fragrantly, Jiang Zhiming asked, "Have you eaten enough?" If you're not full, there's still a bowl here, what do you eat so quickly, and no one grabs it from you! ”
"Who doesn't eat very quickly when they're hungry? Brother Zhiming said this, because he hated me for eating too much. Gu Yutang put down the noodle bowl in his hand and asked Jiang Zhiming.
