Chapter 44: Xi'an Mansion (Pink Ticket 160 Plus Update)
"Buying and selling?" Fu Tingyun said in surprise, "What kind of deal?" ”
Zhao Ling said: "Mo Yi said that there is not much water at home, so I have to find a way to get some." It's just that when he goes out, someone at home has to help take care of it. Since Zheng San used to be a dart master, you asked Zheng Sanniang to bring him a message, five steamed buns a day, if he wants, he will come over early tomorrow morning to meet Mo Yi. ”
Zheng Sanniang is naturally willing.
Early the next morning, Zheng San came.
He looked like he was thirty-two or three years old, medium height, with a long face and thick lips, looking honest and simple, Fu Tingyun couldn't connect the person in front of him with the man who shouted at his wife that day.
Mo Yi asked Zheng San a few words, he was very satisfied, he paid five steamed buns first, explained a few words to him, found a stick and went out.
Zheng San asked Zheng Sanniang, who was holding the child, to accompany Fu Tingyun upstairs to rest, closed the back door, and stood at the staircase.
After a while, there was a commotion on the street.
Zheng Sanniang looked frightened.
Fu Tingyun wanted to open the window and look, but was stopped by Zhao Ling: "Wait for the result!" "Not worried at all.
His composure affected Fu Tingyun, and she took Zheng Sanniang's mother and son to her bedroom and teased Linchun to play.
About half an hour later, Mo Yi came back.
He looked embarrassed, but his expression was very pleasant, and there was even a hint of smugness between his eyebrows: "It's all cleaned up by me, and we can fetch water whenever we want in the future." After speaking, he patted Zheng San on the shoulder: "You are not bad, you know that you are the only one, you don't care if someone breaks in, and you place everyone on the second floor." I stayed at the top of the stairs, and I was in charge of the pass, and I didn't open the ......" showed a little appreciation in his tone, and then said, "Are you interested in continuing to do business with us?" ”
Zheng San said respectfully: "Please ask Steward Mo to give orders!" ”
Mo Yi nodded and said with a smile: "You help us pick up four buckets of water from the street every day, and the reward is two steamed buns." ”
Zheng San immediately agreed.
Fu Tingyun thus had water to bathe and wash clothes.
Zheng Sanniang came over every day to help.
A few days later, Chen Liu and the others came back with a small cart full of things.
"Lord, Lord......" Ah Sen ran upstairs with a big burden on his back, "I'm back, I'm back!" ”
The homeless people in the vicinity were alarmed.
He put down his burden and kowtowed to Zhao Ling a few times.
"Master. I have done everything you have told me. He looked up at Zhao Ling, his eyes were red, "Master, are you better?" His expression was full of concern.
"Hurry up!" Zhao Ling, who was reading a book, smiled and touched his head: "I'm much better." But you, have you eaten? "The voice is very soft.
"I've eaten it. I've eaten it! Arsen laughed and climbed up, "We ate dry food on the way. And he said, "Master." I look at your face, it's a lot more rosy than when I left! Seeing Fu Tingyun, he jumped up and saluted her: "Miss Fu! "I don't know how happy I am.
"But I'm back!" Fu Tingyun looked at Ah Sen with a smile, and saw that he was no different from when he went. Put your mind at ease.
Ah Sen ran to the side to untie the burden he brought back, took a fan embroidered with orchids on silk with bamboo handles, and handed it to Fu Tingyun: "Miss Fu." This is what my lord ordered me to buy for you. And a few more clothes......" he said, handing her a small baggage.
Fu Tingyun was very surprised.
"I see that you are not used to using a pu fan, this time Ah Sen went to Xi'an Mansion, so let him bring the group fan back." Zhao Ling said lightly, "I also told him to buy us a few sets of clothes." He explained, "People rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and if we want to go back to Xi'an, we have to pour two good clothes." lest the servants who defend the city look down on us and make things difficult for us. ”
"Oh!" Fu Tingyun held the fan, only to feel that his face was hot. I don't know what to say.
Ah Sen didn't notice this, he frowned and talked to Zhao Ling about what he saw on the way to Xi'an Mansion: "Sixth Brother Chen and Little Fifth Brother take good care of me. They also took me to the most famous restaurant in Xi'an Province for dinner......"
Zhao Ling glanced at Fu Tingyun, who was standing beside him with his head bowed and didn't say a word, but gently rubbed the garcinia yellow handle of the fan with his jade-white fingers. An imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes, and he softly stopped Asen. "Alright, alright. If there is anything to say, we will talk about it after dinner. ”
Ah Sen understood, smiled and agreed, went downstairs to see Mo Yi, and Chen Liu and the others moved the things on the small cart to the ear room.
In the evening, stir-fried lamb with green onions, scrambled eggs with shredded green peppers, and stewed old hen with shiitake mushrooms...... Fu Tingyun made seven or eight dishes, sandwiched two chopsticks at the same time, and asked Ah Sen to give them to Zheng San and his wife, she brought Zhao Ling's food upstairs, and after the meal, she made tea again.
Ah Sen was sitting next to Zhao Ling and spoke: "...... They spent thirty taels of silver to bribe the officials guarding the city, and entered the city in a hanging basket at the third watch in the middle of the night. In addition to us, there are a few other people who also entered the city in this way.
"When I entered the city, Chen Liu wanted to send me to a 'relative' house, so I took them to a random house that looked good and knocked on the door...... It is only said that the lord and the wife confessed to this address. And they led me to buy in the streets. I took advantage of the fact that I left a password for Brother Yucheng and Brother Yuanbao, and as you instructed, I bought shoes, socks and clothes and came back. ”
"When we returned, we came out of the Yongning Gate in the south, and sent a few taels of silver to the officials guarding the city, and did not examine them carefully. After walking more than a mile, I met a caravan that went to Lantian County, Chen Liu paid ten taels of silver, and the caravan promised to take us to Linchun. ”
Downstairs, Mo Yi was asking Chen Liu: "...... What did that kid do? ”
Chen Liudao: "Always follow us." We went to a relative's house as he told us and knocked on the door and went in, and the family said they had moved there thirty years ago and had never heard of the relative that Assen was talking about. Later, Ah Sen went shopping with us, in addition to bringing a fan to Miss Fu, he also bought several clothes with exquisite fabrics for Miss Fu, Zhao Ling and him, and then came back with us. ”
Mo Yi frowned: "That's all?" ”
Chen Liu nodded: "That's all!" ”
Mo Yi looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu also said: "In addition to looking at the greed for snacks on the street and asking the sixth brother for a few copper plates and buying snacks twice, he has been following us honestly." ”
Mo Yi had a contemplative expression on his face.
There were a few slight noises outside, like cats slipping over the walls and the wind blowing through the halls.
Mo Yi immediately stood up alertly.
Not for a while. There was the sound of a fight downstairs.
Ah Sen hesitated: "Do you want to go down and help them?" ”
"No!" Zhao Ling said with a smile, "He brought so much food, how can it not make people blush." Let him go out of his nerves. Then he asked carefully about the caravan: "How many people are there?" How old is the leader? How do they arrange for the night? ”
Arsen recalled carefully.
The more Zhao Ling listened, the heavier his face became.
Fu Tingyun looked at the anxiety in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”
"I suspect it's from the guardhouse." Zhao Ling groaned, "How can it be so coincidental, all of them are men in their twenties and thirties, all of them are powerful and powerful......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a hearty laugh downstairs: "If you want to rob me, you are still a little tender." Ye is just fine, take you to open the shabu. ”
Ah Sen and Fu Tingyun were dumbfounded when they heard this, but Zhao Ling shook his head helplessly.
Since then, Mo Yi has been happy to fight with those who come to rob or steal things. Even Zheng Sanniang, who came to wash their clothes every day, was affected.
"Thought I had food on me." Zheng Sanniang had palpitations when she thought about it. "If I hadn't been in charge of the house quickly, I and the child would have died."
"You and Zheng San might as well move to live with us." Fu Tingyun felt that it was not a matter for him to go on like this, "Anyway, in the eyes of those people, you and us are in the same group." It's too dangerous to live on the street. ”
Zheng Sanniang hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to go back and talk to Zheng San.
Zheng San took his wife and son to live in Fu Tingyun's small courtyard at night.
Not a few days. The small courtyard returned to its original quietness, and even the homeless people who used to live around them moved away, and Mo Yi shouted that he was bored. Zheng Sanniang's expression was even more frightened when she looked at him, and no matter how comforting Fu Tingyun was, it didn't have much effect.
Within a few days of such peaceful days, someone came to rob them.
Mo Yi came to the spirit.
Zheng San came to see Zhao Ling.
"Master Zhao, it can't go on like this!" There was a hint of worry between his brows. "There are more and more people who have settled in Linchun Town, and even if the Mo steward has three heads and six arms. I can't resist doing this every day. What's more, the folk hidden dragon and crouching tiger, although the skills of the Mo steward are good, but when he meets a real master, he is afraid that he may not be able to bargain. ”
Zhao Ling's gaze became sharper, his originally indifferent face suddenly became cold, and the air in the room also changed, adding a chill to Zheng San, making Zheng San shiver, and looking at Zhao Ling's gaze suddenly became confused.
"So to speak. What have you discovered? He said slowly, which made Zheng Sanye's mouth dry with nervousness.
"The little one didn't find anything." He licked his lips that felt dry, and his address to Zhao Ling changed unconsciously. "It's just that when I was fleeing, I saw with my own eyes that hundreds of homeless people armed with sticks killed a well-known boxer in the martial arts for a few steamed buns......"
They don't just have a few steamed buns.
Zhao Ling immediately said, "You ask Steward Mo to come up." I have something to say to him. ”
Zheng San breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to invite Mo Yi.
"We'll leave tonight." Zhao Ling's expression was cold, and there was a kind of irresistible decisiveness in his expression, "I hope Brother Mo can advance and retreat with us." ”
The implication is that if Mo Yi doesn't leave, he will take Fu Tingyun and the others away.
Such a Zhao Ling made Mo Yi feel very unfamiliar...... He couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhao Ling looked at him quietly, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, which made him faintly feel a little jealous of not wanting to compete with him.
"I don't know what Brother Zhao has planned?" Mo Yi said slowly, a little more cautious in his tone, less teasing on weekdays.
"Let's go to Xi'an." Zhao Ling said without hesitation, "There is the provincial capital, there is King Jian, there is Dong Hanwen, if the city is still broken, then I am afraid it will not be far from the death of the country." ”
Mo Yi gasped.
Looking at Zhao Ling's gaze, he showed undisguised appreciation: "Okay, let's go to Xi'an Mansion!" ”
