Chapter 116: Borrowing Troops
Wen Qi took off the package from his back and opened it to see all kinds of jade wrenches. Ran Wen is small? say
Zhao Chengyan raised his eyebrows.
Wen Qi cleared his throat: "Wuzhi County follows His Royal Highness King Rui, I can't work in vain, I will knock some benefits every day." ”
said with a little embarrassment, "I'm not greedy for money, but I can't lose myself too much!"
He was generous and gave me a lot of jade pieces, and I put them in the pawnshop with all the big ones. ”
Zhao Chengyan frowned when he heard that it was King Rui's object, and when he mentioned putting it in the pawnshop, his eyebrows stretched again.
After speaking, he took out a pawn ticket, thinking that it was useless, and tore up the pawn ticket, Wen Qi took out a money stub from his arms and handed it to Zhao Chengyan: "These may be useful, and it counts as many people as you can recruit." ”
Zhao Chengyan happily agreed.
Wen Qi took out a jade plate finger from the package, the texture was delicate, the color was bright, pure black and flawless, just this glance, it was a valuable good thing, Wen Qi also wore it on his hand.
Zhao Chengyan stared at Wen Qi's movements for a while.
Wen Qi took it off again and sighed: "Brother spoil me again, such a good color, I am also rare, I think that although the temperament of King Rui is annoying, the things are excellent, just dispose of them like this, I am really a little reluctant, but these are things outside the body, how can human life be important, forget it." ”
Looking at Cong Cong, he waved his hand outward, "Take it all and look at it." ”
Zhao Cheng's eyebrows were relaxed: "Okay!" ”
Hurriedly gave Cong Cong a look, Cong Cong was about to go out after packing up.
Wen Qi said uneasily: "Be careful, don't let people cheat, sell it at a good price." ”
Zhao Chengyan snorted angrily: "I know, my eldest lady, don't worry, Cong Cong has followed me since I was a child, I haven't seen anything, and I'll send you some good ones when I return to the capital", saying so, I am afraid that I can't find a few in the Guogong Mansion with such a good condition, or Cousin Chun's waist is thick, and my heart still can't help but tighten.
Such a singing and a harmony, the jade plate that His Royal Highness King Rui did not see much was sent out, King Rui, your old mind seems to be someone who has not understood it at all...
The two visited the local situation again in the past few days, and learned that there were two more famous gentry of the noble clan within a radius of several hundred miles in the southern region of the Great River.
One is a little east of the county, and the other is Shi Jiang, the eldest brother of Shi Lin in Qi County.
After the two discussed, they decided to start with Xinxing County.
In the past few days, it has been rumored that His Royal Highness King Rui has entered the accounting county, and more than 30 lower-level officials have been cut in half, these officials are either fish and meat people, or collusion between the top and bottom, and rumors of King Rui have spread again, anyway, wherever King Rui goes, there can be a thunder on the flat land, and the same is true in the coastal areas, in short, the bombardment is just a piece...
In the past few days, Wen Qi promised a certain son that his solid illness for several months would be cured by the way...
One day, the two went to the county center market to buy some daily necessities, and by the way to buy some snacks, of course, Wen Qi's favorite is these good-skinned fruits, because it is the central area, public security can still be guaranteed, and there are often trapping blocks around the street to guard them.
After picking up the fruit, Wen Qi saw the long cabbage next to the fruit, picked up two and threw them up and down in his hand, and took advantage of it, the cabbage was not very big this season, and it went to the green leaves outside, one was only two catties, Wen Qi's eyes rolled, and he weighed two.
Zhao Chengyan quipped: "In addition to stewing red dates and pig's trotter soup, you can also cook vegetables?" ”
The heart is still beautiful, in addition to looking at Aqi in the future, it will be so practical, and I will also silently recite the words of thanks.
Wen Qi shook his head: "I will only stew soup and something." ”
Thinking about his barbecue, he looked at Zhao Chengyan with thief eyes: "Brother Zhao, if you want to taste the dishes I cooked, I will also give you this face." ”
Zhao Chengyan looked at those naughty and cunning eyes, thinking that the cooking must not be good, in fact, to a certain extent, the person who understands Wen Qi is still Zhao Chengyan. But he couldn't touch his face too much, and snorted: "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later." ”
Zhao Chengyan was carrying the fruit basket, and saw Wen Qi holding a cabbage in one hand, moving his arms up and down, walking backwards for a while, and walking along for a while. I couldn't help but ask, "Aki, what are you doing here?" ”
Wen Qi said: "Exercise arm strength, I also found out, I am still quite accurate at hand, but the strength is not enough, when I saw this cabbage, I thought of this idea." ”
Zhao Chengyan, who listened to it, couldn't help laughing, holding back the pain, his expression was distorted, and he didn't forget to continue to tease, "I think you should replace the cabbage with apples, so it's not more convenient to take it." ”
At this time, Wen Qi didn't pay attention to the meaning of Zhao Chengyan's words, and explained at a glance: "I know, but the apple is too light to work!" ”
I couldn't help it anymore, Zhao Chengyan covered his stomach, couldn't stop laughing, bent over and lowered his head, took out his other hand and waved his hand again and again: "Aqi, don't say anything, let Brother Yan laugh first, or you won't be angry." ”
Wen Qi was both atmospheric and ignorant: "What did I do to make you so gloating!" ”
Zhao Chengyan straightened his waist, and couldn't hold back a laugh and couldn't mess with anyone anymore: "You still know that apples are too light." ”
Ignoring the man's sarcasm, he walked forward.
Zhao Chengyan followed: "Don't be angry, Brother Mu will teach you!" ”
Originally, Zhao Chengyan intended to exercise Wen Qi's physical strength, so he bought two sandbags from the shop and tied them to Wen Qi's arms: "You don't need to learn to be a peerless master, with Brother Yan protecting you, you will practice for half an hour every day, so for half a year, you can throw marbles at least fifteen steps away, strengthen your body, and you can also defend yourself in case of accidents."
One person is running with weights in front of him, and the other is carrying a fruit basket and can't stop doing some running instruction...
After holding on for a quarter of an hour, Wen Qi sat crookedly on the ground, said nothing, took off the strap and threw it aside angrily, looking depressed: "I won't practice anymore", and then the whole person lay on the ground.
Zhao Chengyan pulled Wen Qi's arm: "Get up, hold on a little longer, you can do it if you think about it." ”
Wen Qi shook the hand that was pulling his arm, couldn't get out, and turned his back sideways.
"Get up and take a walk, or your arm will hurt tomorrow"...
No response means saying that you don't get up at all.
Zhao Chengyan showed a helpless look: "Come, I'll carry you, lie on the ground, the humidity is heavy, you are a doctor, you should know better than me." ”
There is a doctor on the ground, many of them know that they can't stop their willfulness!
A quarter of an hour later, with a young man on his back, a fruit and vegetable basket in his left hand, and a sandbag in his right hand, he walked towards the inn step by step.
After this, if someone is willing to use cabbage or apples, it is better than not exercising, and he will still have some arm strength, anyway, he will not make fun of this matter and make ideas, or think about exercising his daughter-in-law again...
Next
Rising early in the morning, the two mounted their horses and galloped eastward.
Wen Qi rode a white high-headed horse, with a headband and a scarf, a scarf ribbon fluttering in the wind, a moon gray white dress, a thin back, a horse whip in his hand, chic and casual, running in front.
Zhao Chengyan was dressed in red and dazzling, graceful and suave, Zhao Chengyan raised his horse whip in his hand, and the fast horse caught up with the young man in front: "Aqi, we can ride together, and I can also protect you." ”
Empty field, clear sky, the mood will fly, turn his head to look at Zhao Chengyan behind, haha smiled, and his posture was flamboyant: "Brother Zhao, the sound of the horse's hooves flowing in my heart, happy rivers and lakes, wanton boy, probably talking about me", after speaking, the laughter was even more arrogant, and the big horse that sat down galloped wildly, and jumped out in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Chengyan looked at the young man's wanton appearance, and his mood also soared, and he flicked the horsewhip and followed closely behind, not far or close: "Come and call Brother Shengyan!" ”
Wen Qi also made a grimace to Zhao Chengyan, Zhao Chengyan was startled at first, sat down on the horse, and raised his front hooves.
lifted the reins, followed the man's side, his heart pounded, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are so naughty, Brother Yan likes it!" ”
Wen Qi looked back slyly and rode away, Zhao Chengyan followed Wen Qi and ran into the distance...
The two of them came to the door of a mansion and tightened the reins, shouting "Phew" from their mouths.
The north-south road, clear brick paving, the gate faces west, the north and south walls are roughly estimated to have the appearance of a hundred steps, the bluestone wall, the wall is eight feet high, there is a pair of stone lions squatting in front of the main gate, the blue and white are majestic.
The door plaque of the gate is solid and heavy, and the black sandalwood is written with a few gilded characters in the wild grass font "Xue Fu", which is arbitrary.
The eaves of the door are towering, and there are Pixiu things lying down, carved beams and painted buildings, and they are discouraged.
In front of the door, there were two rows of domestic soldiers standing on the left and right, wearing dark brocade clothes, carrying a big knife at their waists, burly and arrogant.
Wen Qi handed the little guy in front of the door a greeting post for the Xingchang Treasure Pavilion in the capital, and the little guy looked at the two of them and said, "The master is not in the house." ”
The little servant reported to the mansion with steady steps, and walked out with a few breaths: "The master is not in the mansion." ”
This is ** naked ground not to be interviewed, and I don't even bother to make up a decent reason.
Wen Qi took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it at the little guy, the little guy's side face flashed, the ingot of silver gurgled on the ground and swirled, lying quietly on the ground, the little guy didn't even give an eyelid to this ingot of silver, Wen Qi opened his eyes wide, there are still people in the world who don't love money, and when his thoughts were flying, he suddenly felt a thing hit his cheeks.
One twisted into a broad embrace, and it was the silver that the little guy took out of his arms that hit his cheek, which was twice as big as his own, and Wen Qi's eyes widened again.
I only heard the little guy say: "A few taels of silver, this is humiliating us?" Are we like chemisons? ”
glanced at the two ingots of silver lying quietly on the ground, and looked arrogant: "The lord rewards you, don't get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
Zhao Chengyan's pupils shrank, pinned the fan in his hand to the back collar, and took out a gold ingot from his arms: "Is it better than silver?" I have this. ”
Wen Qi looked at Zhao Chengyan with wide eyes.
Zhao Chengyan gave him a smile in return.
Wen Qi snatched the gold from Zhao Chengyan's hand, put it into his arms expressionlessly, and said in his heart, Brother Zhao, we are lacking this in our hands, don't give people a broad!
The little guy laughed.
This laughter was piercing, which made Zhao Chengyan very faceless, and he frequently looked at Wen Qi twice.
