"May I ask if it is Mr. Zhao Chengcai and Mrs. Zhao?" In front of him, a man of medium stature, forty years away, looked like a housekeeper, although he smiled very kindly, but there was a shrewdness in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Zhao Chengcai was stunned, "It's just below, I don't know if you are ......"

The man smiled, "This is not the place to talk, Mr. Zhao, can you follow me to the front restaurant?" ”

"What's the matter with you?" It's not that Zhao Chengcai is timid, it's just that he was attacked by an unknown one, and he has to make people eat a trench and grow wise. People tell them to leave, so what if it's a trap? What's more, I still have my mother with me, so I'm not careful.

The man took a half step forward and deliberately lowered his voice, "Mr. Zhao don't worry, I just want to inquire about Yan Bo." You know that, right? ”

"Sorry, we didn't know!" Zhang Qingting interjected with a cold face, pulling Zhao Chengcai's sleeve, "Xianggong, let's go." ”

This middle-aged man gave her a bad feeling, and she always felt that she had other plans.

The man was not annoyed, and took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve very familiarly, "Don't worry, my master has no malicious intentions, but I just want to confirm his news, as long as you go to the restaurant with me, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you!" ”

Zhao Chengcai was disdainful in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, we really don't know who you are talking about." Sorry, can't help you. ”

As soon as he arched his hand, he pulled Zhang Qingting and left.

"Mr. Zhao!" The man suddenly raised his voice, "It is said that you plan to participate in next year's township exam, right?" ”

"So what?" Zhao Chengcai is really funny, can you still master the job of admission?

The middle-aged man's eyes showed a bit of conceit, "Believe me, you come with me, if my family master is satisfied, it will definitely be of more benefit to you in next year's exam." ”

It's really a big deal! But even if you have this ability, Zhao Chengcai doesn't bother to accept it! What is the most important thing for a reader, not fame, but style!

Seeing him stop, the man thought he was moved, but he didn't expect this Xiucai to just laugh slightly, with a bit of obvious mockery in his eyes, "I'm really embarrassed, I'm shallow and clumsy by nature." Although the heart of seeking fame is earnest, but I also know that it depends on real materials, if you go crooked, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will end up with no bones, and you will be laughed at by all the people who read the world! Your Excellency's kindness is received in your heart, but it is a pity that you are not blessed to accept it, and you will leave! ”

The middle-aged man's face suddenly became gloomy, and he didn't know how to lift the poor sour talent! He made a gesture behind them, and two more family members came up behind them, and they were trapped in the direction of their whereabouts, and a cold voice sounded behind them, "If you don't know him, then how can you go to Yanfu to send a letter to Mama Zhu?" ”

The faces of the two of them froze, and they even found out this? Zhang Qingting's heart moved, and he rounded the words back, "What are you murderous?" Bringing a letter is carrying a letter, but the person who wants us to bring a letter is not the name you said. ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Whether it is or not, you must go and explain to my family master today!" Don't toast and don't eat and drink! ”

Seeing that he still maintained basic politeness, they didn't dare to do anything hurtful in the middle of this busy city. If there is a disturbance in this matter today, they really don't go, and I'm afraid there is no big way to do this. It's just that the little couple is also a little curious, what the hell is this, to inquire about Ali's news so urgently? It's better to go down for the time being, go with them, save yourself from entanglement, and make some other trouble, and second, you can also wait for the opportunity to explore the truth and see what is going on.

The two exchanged glances, and Zhao Chengcai seemed to be frightened by his might, and asked reluctantly, "How long will it take?" We can't go far away, and our family is still waiting for us to go back for dinner! ”

Seeing that he was relieved, the middle-aged man's face softened a lot, and it seemed that if he couldn't bring people back, he would have a lot of trouble. Pointing to a teahouse in front of him, "The place is here, just ask you a few words!" If the head of my family is satisfied, the benefits will be less than that of your husband and wife. ”

"That's not necessary!"

Look at the teahouse is only a few steps away, and the two of them will follow him.

The middle-aged man became more and more polite, and it seemed that he really just wanted to inquire about something.

In an elegant room on the top floor of the teahouse, a man in brocade clothes has already stood with his hands in hand. The face is similar to Yan Bo, but it is obviously a lot bigger, it seems to be around the tenth year, and the qi is more calm, but it is far from Yan Bo's innate style and pride, which is much inferior.

"Young Master, someone is invited."

The man's eyes were full of eagerness and joy, and he looked particularly gentle and amiable, "Is it Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao?" You may be seated! Good tea! ”

Couldn't help but sit on it with Zhao Chengcai, and immediately began to ask like a cannon, "What about my second brother?" Where is he now? What do you do for a living? How are you doing? ”

Zhao Chengcai was a little caught off guard by his overflowing longing, if it weren't for the previous housekeeper's attitude, he would almost have to let down all his vigilance against the person in front of him. Wei Yi frowned, shocking his heart, "What did this duke say?" Who is your second brother? ”

The smile on the man's face froze, and then he explained with a calm smile, "It's me who is excited!" I am Yan Bo's eldest brother, Yan Bozhai, and I have the best relationship with this younger brother since I was a child! In the past few years since he left home, he has been worrying about him day and night. I know that a few days ago, you helped him bring a letter to Mama Zhu, but the elders in the family have been angry, and Mama Zhu didn't secretly find an opportunity to tell me until yesterday. So I rushed over immediately, but I knew that you lived in Mengfu, but I didn't know where it was, because there was some misunderstanding between our two families, and it was not easy to visit. I had to use this stupid method to wait for the rabbit outside. This is really pitiful, and I am destined to meet the two of them. What do you think? Beau is okay now? ”

This man is amazing! The words are so clear that it really seems like that.

The little couple glanced at each other, but shook their heads together in unison, "I don't know." ”

Yan Bozhai showed obvious surprise on his face, "You don't know? Don't you know him? How could it not be known? Oh, I see, my brother won't let you say that, right? Don't worry, he didn't know that it was me you found, and if he did, he wouldn't have done so. Rest assured, speak! ”

"We don't really know anything." Zhang Qingting looked innocent, the more this person was like this, the more suspicious she became, "There is indeed a matter of talking, but we don't know what that person's name is, just let us bring peace to Mama Zhu, and there is nothing else." ”

Zhao Chengcai made up the lie more likely, "We just met in Pingshui, and he heard that we were going to the capital, so he asked us to bring a message." If you want to say that you recognize it, you can recognize it, but in a blink of an eye, they will go their separate ways. We don't know who that man's name is, whether it's your brother or not. ”

"Then why don't you ask?" The middle-aged housekeeper couldn't hold his breath and asked aggressively, "If he asks you to bring a message, you can bring it, how can it be so easy?" ”

Zhao Chengcai smiled, "This uncle's words are wrong!" This person is on top, and there are always some times when they take care of each other, but we countrymen don't see it so much. What's so difficult about just letting you talk? ”

Yan Bozhai hurriedly reprimanded the housekeeper and stepped forward to apologize, "I'm sorry, the subordinate was rude, and Mr. Zhao smiled." It's just that my second brother just asked you to bring a sentence, and didn't even leave a single word or token? ”

"Nope. He only said that it was a distant nephew of Zhu Mama, so he asked him to come and report safety, and there was nothing else. ”

"So where did you meet him, and did he say where he was going?"

"We met at Linfengdu, and then we parted, and it seemed like he had gone south." Zhao Chengcai casually recited the name of the place and coped with the past.

"That's it!" Yan Bozhai lowered his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly raised his head with a warm smile, and ordered the housekeeper to take two silver letters, "It's just a small gift, thank you two for bringing the words!" If I meet my second brother again, tell him that my eldest brother misses him very much. ”

Zhao Chengcai waved his hand, "There's no need for a ceremony, it's just a gesture." As for talking, it's okay, as long as we can meet it, we will definitely tell it! ”

He got up and took Zhang Qingting to say goodbye.

Seeing them out of the restaurant, the middle-aged housekeeper said, "Young Master, do you want to send someone to follow them back?" ”

The smile on Yan Bozhai's face faded, a layer of solemnity was locked between his eyebrows, and the index finger of his right hand kept flicking lightly in his sleeve, and he spoke after a while, "It's okay to check." But remember, don't startle the snake! If there is any news, let people come back and report to me quickly! ”

"If you really find it, what should you do?"

Yan Bozhai sighed slightly, "Do you still need to deal with it?" If he stays well in the country, give him some gold and silver. After all, it's my own brother, even if he makes such a big mistake, I can't let him go home, and I can't let him have a hard time. ”

"It's still the eldest young master's generosity and kindness." The middle-aged housekeeper patted his ass at the right time, and asked again, "Madam and Mama Zhu have not moved there, is it really the news that the second young master brought back?" ”

Yan Bozhai's eyes lit up, "Whether it's or not, you have to keep an eye on them!" Then his face quickly softened again, "I can't let my mother do anything to make my father angry." ”

The faint helpless smile on his lips looks very sincere, and it seems to be a filial piety that is really anxious for his parents.

"That's what the young master said." The housekeeper nodded and replied, in awe of the young master, "The master is seriously ill, and I really can't be angry about these little things anymore." Outside the house, where is it not up to you to take care of it? ”

Yan Bozhai smiled slightly, but his eyes turned to the unknown distance, that kind of complex emotion, only he understands.
