Chapter 176: Selling favors
"General Lu, oh, General Lu, why didn't you come to Suzhou to inform me in advance, I can also go to the city gate to greet you." Yang Xingxian, the governor of Ganshan, was about forty years old, with two goatees, and his face was very shrewd, and his eyes would inadvertently flash with a light of calculation.
Lu Chengan took advantage of Qin Ranran's familiarity with the General's Mansion, and arrived in the army first after sorting out his luggage, and happened to meet Yang Xingxian, who was drinking tea with Jiang Yi, the commander of the Moxi Army, Yang Xingxian saw that Lu Yi took out the letter of appointment, and hurriedly stood up, and said with an earnest expression.
"Governor Yang is polite, I haven't decided when I'll arrive, I won't miss the hour." Lu Chengan arched his hand, his tone was eager, and anyone who saw that these two people were close friends who had been separated for many years.
Jiang Yi also got up, and said in a salty tone: "I've seen General Lu." ”
Lu Chengan also nodded politely: "It's been hard work for the past two years. ”
Jiang Yi only felt that the corners of his forehead jumped straight when he heard this, what does this mean, he has worked hard for himself in the past year since he was away, and now that he is back, he doesn't need to work himself?
"General Lu has seen the outside, and everything the last general does is his duty." Jiang Yi replied in a somewhat stiff tone.
As soon as Yang Xingxian heard this tone, he began to sweat on his head anxiously, a military general is a military general, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will squirt around his neck, if the two of them start to move, what should he do, a scholar who has no power to restrain chickens?
Lu Chengan smiled disapprovingly, and then said: "When I entered the city today, I encountered an interesting thing, do you want to hear about it?" ”
Yang Xingxian saw that Lu Chengan didn't care about what the upright military general said, so he hurriedly played a round: "General Lu came back this time, I don't know what interesting things I encountered?" ”
Lu Chengan looked at Yang Xingxian with a smile, and saw that a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body, so he spoke slowly: "I took my wife to stand outside the gate of Suzhou City, and I was seen by a disciple who came up to stop the carriage and wanted to rob people." ”
Yang Xingxian's heart sank, who else in Suzhou City dared to stop people and carriages on the street and rob the people's daughters, except for his wife's unsuccessful nephew?
Jiang Yi glanced at Yang Xingxian, smiled coldly, and remained silent.
Lu Chengan saw Jiang Yi's performance in his eyes and continued: "This person is really speechless, and he intends to tease my guards, so he was beaten by my guards, but according to the person who followed him, he is the nephew of Governor Yang's wife......"
When Yang Xingxian heard this, cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, he thought about it for a while, and hurriedly said: "General Lu, hit and beat, my lady is too doting on this nephew of hers, General Lu played well, and he happened to take a bad breath for me." ”
Jiang Yi lowered his head, avoiding the disdain in his eyes, when his patrol team was in charge of this matter before, who said righteously that this nephew was still young, and he would go back and teach him well, so why bother to make a big fuss?
Lu Chengan nodded: "Then I will rest assured, but Governor Yang still needs to talk to Mrs. Zun about this matter, it is not a good thing to blindly spoil me, today I met me, just a beating, if I meet someone else another day and send my life, it is not worth it." Isn't it that Mrs. Zun thinks that with Governor Yang here, she can sit back and relax? ”
Yang Xingxian waved his hand again and again and denied: "General Lu said that he was joking, he said that he was laughing, all over the world, it was not the king's land, it was not the shore of the land, it was not the king's minister, how could I have such ability, these are naturally His Majesty's laws, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished." This prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and my wife and a nephew who are not successful cannot escape the law. ”
Lu Chengan said with a smile: "Governor Yang's words are really well understood, my wife is a royal gift, and she is a sworn sister with the eldest princess of Fujia, and she can be regarded as a relative of the imperial family." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and Yang Xingxian only felt that the blood rushed to his head all of a sudden.
Your Majesty takes a fancy to this General Lu, and the queen mother takes a fancy to this Mrs. Lu, before they came here, she had already asked someone to inquire in detail, and now that the bastard thing in her own house has provoked this evil lady, I don't know how to explain to Mrs. tonight......
"However, my guards have already beaten Gongzi, and it is not appropriate to punish him again, so please ask Governor Yang to go back and discipline him well." Lu Chengan said with a meaningful smile.
Yang Xingxian touched the sweat on his head, smiled stiffly and said, "Naturally, naturally." ”
Jiang Yi pouted, didn't he just sell him a face, he did so many twists and turns, he really didn't have the style of a military general, but he was like that Wenchen, and he had a lot of eyes.
"Then I won't bother the two of you, I'm new to the barracks today, let's take a stroll around the barracks first, and after a day of repairs, we'll discuss it again." Lu Chengan's goal had been achieved, and he said to the two of them and retreated.
After he left, Yang Xingxian slowly came back to his senses, and suddenly looked at Jiang Yi, who had been silent next to him, and said, "Commander Jiang is not going to take a look?" This is to gather the old ministry. ”
Jiang Yi glanced at him, didn't bother to talk to him, turned around arrogantly, and wiped his sword.
Yang Xingxian secretly scolded this person in his heart for not knowing current affairs, as soon as Lu Chengan came, where would this Gansu and Shaanxi still be his own world, maybe the power in his hands would not be able to be kept.
But what is the best thing to do......
********
"Madam, this garden has been idle, the general said, you see which piece you like, and open it to make a medicine garden for you." Mother Liu and Qin Ranran wandered around the garden together, Poria and Mai Sui packed their luggage in the house, and Lu Si took the rest of the secret guards to check around the entire general's mansion and familiarize themselves with the terrain.
Ahri followed behind Qin Ranran, running back and forth, looking extremely excited.
Qin Ranran walked around and couldn't help but sigh: "Such a big mansion can't be found in Shangjing." ”
Mother Liu nodded and smiled: "Yes, there are too many people in Shangjing, and there will be wars in Suzhou from time to time, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and this house is built big and spacious." ”
"Mother Liu, I want to make a medicine garden near the main courtyard, and find a florist for the rest to see how to plant some flowers and trees suitable for this side, otherwise it will not look good to entertain the ladies in the future." Qin Ranran pointed to a sunny place and said.
Mother Liu nodded in response, and then heard Qin Ranran say: "I don't think there are many people in this maid, I left Baizhu and Bai Cen behind, and after a while, the master will bring the group together, but it is not enough." You discuss with Steward Li to buy a few maids, and you will look at it. However, the big girl next to me needs to make up for two, and then pick a few to serve in the main courtyard. ”
