Chapter 9 Saving Money to Marry a Daughter-in-law
Song Lier found that Jiang Zhu had a similar hobby to her, that is, to go to the teahouse to sit in her spare time. The difference is that Jiang Zhu went to discuss the case with Chen Xueqing, while she just went purely to listen to the play, and by the way, she listened to some bizarre cases that Jiang Zhu encountered.
In fact, in the early years, Song Lier had heard of Jiang Zhu, who was a famous young detective in the Jiangnan area. He has solved a lot of cases for the local area, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, he has solved the cases that happened in the capital.
This time I went to the teahouse, and the two of them were very quiet, drinking tea separately.
"What's wrong? Quarreled? ”
"No, we talked about an unsolved case left over from the previous dynasty, and we wondered if we could find any clues." Chen Xueqing poured a cup of tea for Song Li'er and asked her to bring some snacks that Song Li'er likes to eat.
"Don't think about it yet. Jiang Shaoqing, look at what I brought you. Song Li'er took out the book from her arms and shook it in front of Jiang Zhu's eyes: "This is a real handiwork." ”
"Thank you." Jiang Zhu is really not polite at all.
"Yuan Case Record" is a number of strange cases recorded by a master book of the previous dynasty, although Jiang Zhu has a hand-copied version in his hand, but the content is not complete.
"Where did this book come from?" Chen Xueqing also wanted this book, but he couldn't find it after looking for a long time.
"I can tell you, but on one condition, you'll have to go horseback riding with me." In the past two days, Song Lier has been interested in riding horses and obedient books.
"You're talking about the new one." Chen Xueqing heard that a new horse farm had opened and was planning to go yo-yo someday.
"Yes." Song Li'er looked at Jiang Zhu, and remembered that Jiang Zhu's skills were not bad: "Jiang Shaoqing shouldn't be able to ride a horse, right?" ”
Jiang Zhu didn't answer, he likes to prove with his strength: "I invite you." ”
"Forget it, you only have so much money, and it is estimated that it is not enough for you to feed people." Song Li'er thought of the little money that Song Wanjing sent every month, which was really pitiful.
Chen Xueqing pulled Song Lier aside and whispered: "Your words are too direct, you have to save face as a man." She raised her eyebrows and asked Song Li'er to pay attention to Jiang Zhu's face.
"It's okay, we're all friends, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Jiang Shaoqing should also get married, and he must not save some silver taels. Song Li'er said more and more outrageous, but she didn't know it yet.
"Aha, do you want Jiang Shaoqing to go back to the house and change his outfit?" Chen Xueqing took Jiang Zhu out of the door before Jiang Zhu changed his face, and gave Song Li'er a look to shut up.
Song Li'er didn't receive it at all, and caught up behind her: "Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Shaoqing: You said. ”
"You little lady don't feel ashamed to say such things." Chen Xueqing has been with Song Lier for a long time, so it doesn't matter if she says these things, but Jiang Zhu is different.
"It doesn't matter. Little lady Song is reasonable. Jiang Zhu smiled lightly and watched Song Li'er jumping around.
"That's right." Song Li'er patted Jiang Zhu on the shoulder, anyway, she was planning to include Jiang Zhu in her ranks: "Or, Jiang Shaoqing, how about you take out some silver taels every month and put them on the cultivation of a certain medicinal herb in my family, and for every pearl sold, I will give you some share?" ”
Chen Xueqing really couldn't stand the embarrassment of his friend, so he kicked Song Li'er directly: "Go aside, the smell of copper all over your body." ”
Song Lier's outfit today is Xiao Langjun, and she doesn't have to worry about losing a woman's face. patted the footprints on his body, and pulled Jiang Zhu to let him go to the side: "Jiang Shaoqing, you hide first." I'll teach him a lesson. ”
With a roundabout kick, Chen Xueqing fell to the ground and rolled over.
Song Li'er shook her hair and smiled at Jiang Zhu: "Forgive me, forgive me." Feet suddenly itch a little. ”
Chen Xueqing gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart: I have a lot of adults, so I don't care about her.
When I arrived at the horse farm, there were still a lot of people.
"I wonder if the horse I rode yesterday is still there?" Song Li'er was not tall enough, so she tiptoed around and looked around.
"Let's go ahead and have a look." Jiang Zhu said.
Chen Xueqing pointed to the northeast: "Isn't that Gu Rongyan and Nalan Qing and their party?" ”
"Today's luck is a bit back." Song Li'er looked over, it was really her opponent Gu Rongyan and his party, and she said "hehe" twice.
"How?" Jiang Zhu also looked over and found that it was the daughter of Prime Minister Gu Rongyan, Gu Rongyan and Nalan Qing, the son of Uncle Nalan Derong.
"Gu Rongyan's here" Song Li'er poked her brain in disgust, indicating that Gu Rongyan had a brain disease.
"Then forget it today." Jiang Zhu proposed.
"It's fine." Song Li'er has never been afraid of things, not to mention that Gu Rongyan has always liked to provoke her.
Enemies to enemies, sometimes like lovers to lovers, can always meet eyes in the crowd. Gu Rongyan also saw Song Li'er and walked over with a group of people.
"Song Li'er, are you still alive? I thought you were dead? Gu Rongyan's opening is always a face that wishes that Song Lier has disappeared from the world. Even though the world praised Gu Rongyan's face as the most blooming peony in the capital, when she arrived at Song Li'er, her whole face became strange.
Jiang Zhu frowned without a trace.
"Did you hear anything barking?" Song Lier was already familiar with Gu Rongyan's attitude, and there were thousands of words to refute.
"Nope!" Although Chen Xueqing was a tea merchant in the mansion, he was also an imperial merchant who provided tea for the royal family, and often showed his face in front of His Majesty and other nobles. There is no fear of Gu Rongyan. Besides, discord is not a matter of a day or two.
Jiang Shaoqing smiled. Nalan Qing is the eldest among them, the son-in-law of Uncle Guo, who is usually more funny, although he does not have a full-time job, everyone also gives face.
Gu Rongyan thought at first that there was another eyeless one by Song Lier's side, but now she knew that it was Jiang Zhu Jiang Shaoqing, the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and immediately changed her face, regardless of whether people can adapt to it or not.
Song Li'er looked at it, and there was a spirit on her body, and whispered in Jiang Zhu's ear: "I'm going to start getting sick again." ”
Gu Rongyan smiled slightly, with a little of a woman's shyness, slowly blooming like a peony flower, and the peony on her body with a gold button peony pattern on her brocade robe: "I have heard of Jiang Shaoqing's name for a long time, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." ”
"It's just my job." Jiang Zhu made a move, and then turned his head to look at Song Li'er: "Don't you still want to see your horse?" ”
Song Li'er laughed at Jiang Zhu's reaction, and waved at Gu Rongyan and Nalan Qing: "Gu Niangzi, Ling Xiaojun, let's go first." ”
Chen Xueqing made a move.
The three of them walked away, and Gu Rongyan's expression returned to normal.
"This Shaoqing of Dali Temple seems to take himself too seriously."
On weekdays, which child of a family doesn't want to cling to her, even if an official sees her, he has to call her "Gu Niangzi." ”
"Youthful spirit." Nalan Qing felt that it was nothing, but was a little dissatisfied with Gu Rongyan's actions.
When he walked to the stable, Jiang Zhu asked about the entanglement between Song Lier and Gu Rongyan. After all, the other party is the daughter of a prime minister, and if you really think about it, it will be Song Lier who will suffer after all.
"It's not a big deal. I have been in the palace with my father many times, and I have had some contacts with the princes and princesses. Once I accidentally angered His Royal Highness the Prince's young son, they didn't punish me, but Gu Rongyan remembered it. I don't know what kind of wind to smoke. And because of some trivial matters, Gu Rongyan and I can be regarded as a complete bond. Song Lier walked around the stable, and found that the horse she saw yesterday was no longer there, so she had to find another one.
Jiang Zhu nodded, but still made a note in his heart.
"Don't worry, even if Gu Rongyan wants to move us, it depends on whether she has the ability." Chen Xueqing picked a black horse for himself, which looked more imposing.
"Jiang Shaoqing, you move faster." Song Li'er saw that Jiang Zhu hadn't moved yet, and urged.
Waiting for Jiang Zhu to choose a good horse, Chen Xueqing proposed: "Or, how about we compete?" ”
"Okay." Jiang Zhu randomly selected a horse, stepped on it, jumped it, and got on the horse very skillfully.
"Jiang Shaoqing is good, and it seems that he is not riding a horse less." Chen Xueqing sat on the horse and walked to Jiang Zhu's side in small steps.
Song Lier, who was riding a horse in front, saw that the place used by the horse farm to teach people to ride horses was surrounded, and vaguely heard someone roaring.
"Something seems to have happened over there."
This horse farm was built relatively large and provided a place for hunting, horse racing, and horse learning.
"Check it out." Jiang Zhu dismounted and led the horse back to the stable.
Song Lier and Chen Xueqing did not waste time, put the horses away quickly, and followed Jiang Zhu into the racecourse.
The racetrack is already in chaos.
"This is Xie Yushi's wife."
"It's her, it's really pitiful, she was wiped out two years ago, and now she has no husband."
The people standing next to him talked a lot, all of them feeling sorry for the woman who was sitting on the ground wailing.
When the three of them walked over, they saw a person lying on the ground, the blood stains had blurred the whole person's face, and the skirt of the beautiful woman holding him was also stained with blood, and her whole body was trembling, looking very flustered, and begged: "Who help me call Langzhong." ”
"Don't worry, someone has already invited Langzhong." The man who spoke wanted to come forward to help, but he didn't know where to start.
Song Li'er remembered that there were herbs to stop bleeding in the sachet on her waist, and handed it over: "This is the elm that can stop the bleeding, you can put it in the place where he bleeds first, it should be temporarily relieved." ”
After all, it was not Lang Zhong, and she didn't understand his condition, so Song Lier didn't dare to rush to visit.
The beautiful woman seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and grabbed Song Lier's trouser legs: "You are Langzhong, please, please my husband." ”
"I'm not, I only grow herbs at home." It's no wonder that Song Lier wants to retreat from such a big event, if there is a small injury, there is no big problem.
The beautiful woman let go of her hand and went to pick up the elm that Song Li'er handed over, but before she could get her hand, the man lying in her arms had a mouthful of blood protruding and was out of breath.
