Volume II-18 Trip to Luoyang (X) (II)
++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of Luoyang's trip (X) (below).
Usually Xinjie has always been humble, and he speaks very calmly to his subordinates, With such a cold tone, Manager Zhou was defeated for the first time, and his anger towards Mrs. Ju and Fang Yan was even heavier. Manager Zhou is an old man who follows Chen Biyan, because his work, hard work, and loyalty are recognized by Mrs. Tang and Tang Xiaoxiao, he will be in charge of Zhuyuan, one of the most important institutions of Baihuatang, and he has never made a mistake over the years. This mother and daughter usually do their own thing, because of their special status, she doesn't want to care, but today let everyone see her jokes. However, Mrs. Ju's special status made her not know what to do, so she stayed in the local area and was stunned for a while.
"What, Mr. Zhou, you don't know what to do if your people commit crimes?"
"Tang Xinjie, I am your aunt's sister-in-law, you actually let these poor and poor people dispose of me?!"
"You can teach the Zhu family in Baihuatang. There are no wealthy ladies in Baihuatang, only brothers and sisters who go hand in hand. "At this moment, where does Tang Sanshao have a little bit of the image of a noble son.
After a busy morning, after eating at noon, and did not rest, Xinjie and Lian'er hurried to another manor outside Luoyang with a group of people, this manor is another industry of Tangmen in Luoyang to hold wheat slope, an ordinary farm, Zhuangzi because of holding wheat slope, the land is fertile and beautiful, and there are many sika deer, cattle and sheep on the spot. In the middle of the farm, there is an ordinary and clean courtyard house, which is for the master who inspects the village and various stewards to live temporarily. Because there are many livestock in the village, although some forest spices have been planted around the yard, the air is still filled with the unique smell of the livestock farm. For so many years, no master of the Tang family has really lived here, so Zhuang Tou'er didn't care much about it, and didn't clean it up.
It's just that he didn't expect that last night, someone came in with the token of Baicaotang Jingwei, and asked him not to ask too much. In the Tang Gate, Baicaotang Jingwei has the right to call on all kinds of resources, and ordinary account stewards are not allowed to intervene. The head of the village strictly obeyed the rules and provided food and drink for the courtyard as requested. It was a quiet night. Even when it was dawn, the people inside didn't move, just set up two meals. Zhuang Tou has never dealt directly with Jingwei, but he didn't expect this gang to be so trouble-free, they ate whatever they sent in, and they didn't complain.
Zhuang Tou just hoped that they could stay so peacefully, and he would be good friends. It's just that before half a day later, someone actually came to report, saying that the third young master had come with someone and went to the courtyard. With important affairs here, the head of the village immediately ran to the gate of the courtyard and waited, in case the master had any orders.
Ma Guli disguised himself and left the inn he lived with the people sent by Tang Xinjie yesterday afternoon, He didn't know exactly what happened last night, but he got a message from his subordinates that his stand-in was arrested and put into the prison by the prefect's mansion, and in the middle of the night, the prison was robbed and killed by a group of killers, and none of the prisoners in the prison survived. When he set off from Gufan Kingdom this time, he knew that this trip would not be easy, but he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, and he didn't even give him a chance to meet, if it wasn't for Xinjie sending someone to meet him in time to inform him and successfully take him out of the city, he would have been used by them as a substitute for the dead at this moment.
He traveled in the early years of Middle-earth, because of the envy of the customs and culture of Middle-earth, apprenticed everywhere, but all kinds of vassal elegance of various activities, you can see him, accidentally met the capital in the middle of the tea, at that time Xinjie just silently watched in the crowd, but his outstanding temperament attracted Maguli, so he went up to talk to him, only to find that this kid is the owner of a famous restaurant and tea house in Beijing, not only proficient in tea art, more amazing is medical skills. Maguli was a natural medical fan, and would often go through medical texts in the palace and forget to eat or sleep. The two talked quite speculatively, and met and chatted every day during the three-day tea party, after which he left a token and invited him to travel to the ancient country to study and do business, and never saw each other again. Of course, since that day, he also sent someone to check Tang Xinjie's origin, only to know that he was from the Guanxi Tang Gate, and has always been a family respected by his father and the royal family of the ancient fanguo. At that time, he was a tea merchant in the ancient kingdom. It's just that he didn't expect that many years later, he originally came with the purpose of cooperating with some people in the royal family of Middle-earth, but he met someone in Luoyang to show him the token he left for Xinjie many years ago, and brought him here, and so far, he saved his life.
Maguli looked at the young man who walked in with interest, he had already shed the youthfulness of their acquaintance, and he was mature and steady in his gestures, and there was a joy in his eyes that made Maguli believe that their friendship was real.
"Xiaojie, thank you!" Magul said sincerely and seriously, and then smiled: "I should also congratulate you, back then you said that you would make your Yuehuaxuan and Aoki Tea House the best hotels and tea houses in Middle-earth." Now you do. I've been all the way, I've been to every Yuehuaxuan in the big city, and it's really the best. ”
"But Marguli, you have broken your word. You said that you want to be the most powerful prince of the ancient fan country, and you want my Yuehuaxuan to go to the ancient fan country. However, you haven't been the best you have been doing all these years. You said that I was your best friend in the Central Plains, and you didn't go to me when you came to my realm, I can understand that you have something important, but the person you cooperated with almost killed my wife. ”
"You?!" Marguli quickly looked at the veiled woman who had come in with him.
"Yes, this is my wife."
"When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me, even if I don't come to the Central Plains, the gift must be delivered. ”
"We're not married yet, but she's already the lady I think I'm thinking of. For people like us, getting married is just a formality, and when that day comes, people will naturally send you a letter. Today, I will let you meet your younger siblings. Lian'er, there is no need for a veil in front of the eldest brother. ”
The moment the veil was lifted, Magul felt amazing, she was not only beautiful, a fairy like a dust, but also because this was the fairy he had accidentally seen on the street of Luoyang City three days ago. At that time, he was passing by in Luoyang City, a little beggar fainted on the side of the road, and saw a passing girl come to the rescue, not only to help the child, but also to know the profundity of medical skills when she saw her shot. A gust of wind blew her veil, and the gentle and kind face made Marguli astonished. He has seen a lot of beautiful women, but it is often difficult to gather all kind, beautiful and intelligent. I was busy with business that day, and I thought about whether I would send someone to inquire after I was done, but I didn't have time to go, but I saw it today.
"What's that look on your face?" Xinjie naturally knows the charm of Lian'er, but Maguli is a person who has been difficult to bear the storm, didn't he say that he had seen many beauties in the world back then, and he had no interest in women? It must be more than Lian'er's beauty that amazed him, so he quipped, "This is your brother and sister." ”
Maguli instantly came back to his senses: "My brother and sister smiled, I just saw my brother and sister on the street the day before yesterday, when she rescued a child, the needle technique is strange, and I thought about apprenticeship and advice, but I didn't know that it was my brother and sister." ”
"You're demonic again, aren't you? You are a prince, and you can't be obsessed with medicine and forget your roots. ”
"Some things are just a matter of nature."
"So you've always let your two younger brothers take advantage of a lot of things over the years, and that's why you can't do your best."
"Yes, but I've tried not to indulge in medicine anymore."
"It's okay to study medicine, but if you go too deep, you ignore everything else, and when others know about your hobbies, it's easy for people to take advantage of your weaknesses, restrain you, and influence you. Although it is said that the healer has the heart of his parents, not all healers are kind, and their purpose in approaching you is very complicated. Do you think that the itinerary of this trip to Middle-earth was influenced by the healers around you? ”
"How do you know?"
"I want to go to the ancient country to open Yuehuaxuan, you are the only person I can rely on over there, since you have come to the Central Plains, of course I want to help you." Otherwise, wouldn't the word brother be sold? ”
"Xiaojie, what do you know? Please tell me truthfully. ”
"Didn't you already guess that? The Middle-earth physician next to you was indeed sent from here, and that person had a criminal record in the Central Plains. He appeared beside you, not only the people who abandoned you yesterday on the Central Plains side, but also the arrangement of one of your younger brothers and your princess. The people here abandon you so easily, you should have thought that they had already found a new agent in the ancient country. ”
"It also occurred to me that these people might be in collusion with Ilida, but my princess? If I don't have a throne, what good will it do her? ”
"I don't really know why your princess is. It's just that one of the people we arrested yesterday was the Pear Blossom Lady in the past, and she obeyed the orders of the people who abandoned you yesterday. According to her subordinates, they sent people to the ancient kingdom, and what these people were best at was controlling people's backyards and families. ”
"You say my princess may have been controlled by them as well?"
"I don't know much about this, after all, I don't know the situation in the ancient country. But if they really have a plan, that's fine. If they bet on both sides, this is very likely. Control your brother on the one hand, and control you through your princess on the other. In this way, whoever ascends to the throne is a winner. ”
"What exactly do they want?"
"Of course, it's the throne of the Central Plains."
"Aren't they already the princes of today? When the crown prince ascended the throne, they were done, so why bother? ”
"They told you they were the people of the crown prince today?"
Magul thought about it carefully: "Although it is not explicitly stated in the front, but it is the meaning between the lines. My understanding is that the crown prince is sensitive, and it is not cheap to formally come forward to make friends with me. Therefore, they can only secretly send people to contact and consolidate their position. ”
"So you're here with the purpose of cooperating with the prince this time?"
"yes!"
"It seems that they are really smart, and if it goes well, they will cooperate with you, and even if you find out that you are not the prince, you will abide by the agreement. If something happens, like thinking about last night, if you get away and get angry with the person who asked you to come, you will write it down on the prince. If you don't escape, you can relay your confession through the mouths of the people around you, and sue the current emperor, so that the emperor will suspect the prince. ”
