Chapter 9: The Greeting Gift
After Yang Boxiang finished speaking, he patted Bai Moyan's head, turned around and walked out of the room. Bai Moyan looked at him before closing the door, looking back at herself and smiling slightly, she covered her heart and wailed weakly.
"Ah......" Bai Moyan bent down and sat on the chair, and Yang Boxiang's words kept echoing in her ears and refused to leave.
She should have gotten used to his indecency after all these years, shouldn't she? But why is her heart beating so wildly now?
Bai Moyan slapped his face twice, turned off the light and went to bed. I have been telling myself in my heart to be calm, and I can't be led by him by the nose because of a few words. By the time Bai Moyan was a little sleepy, it was already the second half of the night.
After falling asleep, Bai Moyan took her luggage to Shen Yunyou's room, but found that she was the latest.
"With such two beauties by my side, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to walk along the way." Qiu Sheng looked at Bai Moyan and Shen Yunyou sadly, sighed resignedly, and walked out with the burden of the two of them. "Let's go, the carriages and horses are ready."
Shen Yunyou followed behind Qiu Shenghan, and waved at Ye Zixuan in the house as he walked to the door, as a farewell. and Bai Moyan, who didn't raise her head, pretended that she didn't see Yang Boxiang, and walked straight out of the room and got into the carriage.
"I'm waiting for you in the capital." Qiu Shenghan smiled at Yang Boxiang with some sympathy and said to him.
"Hmm." Yang Boxiang nodded and watched a few people leave. After preparing to return to the inn, his eyes unexpectedly caught a glimpse of the woman standing in the corner of the wall not far away, looking at this side from afar.
After Yang Boxiang found out about the woman's sneaky movements, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was the woman who was saved by Qiu Shenghan. Snorted coldly, Yang Boxiang didn't expect her to be unwilling to give up and want to follow them. He walked into the inn with his clothes and came to Ye Zixuan's room. Following Ye Zixuan's line of sight, Yang Boxiang knew that Ye Zixuan had also discovered the existence of that person.
"Don't pay attention to it, when we're gone, she'll stop thinking."
"I'm just curious, is it because of you that this girl wants to follow us so persistently?" Ye Zixuan turned his head to Yang Boxiang with a slightly displeased gaze, "Don't look at me, it can't be me." ”
"If you have the leisure to study this, you might as well think about what to do next." Yang Boxiang casually picked up the map on the table and threw it into Ye Zixuan's arms, warning him not to mention the woman again. Ye Zixuan saw that Yang Boxiang was angry, so he also gave up and talked about serious things according to Yang Boxiang's wishes.
Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan sat in the luxurious carriage, and after leaving the town, they felt a little bored, so they chatted with Qiu Shenghan without saying a word.
"What is your relationship with that county office?" Shen Yunyou tilted his head and looked at Qiu Shenghan, a little puzzled. After all, there are not many people who can live directly in the county government when they first come here. "You know the officials here?"
Qiu Shenghan saw that there were no outsiders around, so he told Shen Yunyou the truth. "Actually, many officials have approached me this time, but this old man has paid the most."
"Profiteers." Qiu Shenghan's words made Shen Yunyou probably guess the trickiness.
"It is very inappropriate for this to come out of Miss Shen's mouth." Qiu Shenghan smiled at the corner of his mouth and shot back. "Who doesn't know that the most profitable place in the Western Kingdom is Lanzhifang? I'm nothing compared to Miss Shen. ”
Qiu Shenghan has traveled around the Zhou Kingdom over the years, and his reputation is outside, and the emperor of Yunchuan has also heard of it. I didn't know who in the palace passed a sentence before, saying that the emperor wanted to listen to the world-famous pianist Qiu Shenghan's qin, although I am not sure if this is true or false, but it is enough to make these Manchu civil and military people in Yunchuan Kingdom toss. So I want to take this opportunity to let Qiu Shenghan enter the palace, and by the way, there are many people who mention themselves in front of the emperor. And Qiu Shenghan also chose one from several people in the end.
"This place doesn't look big, and there is not much oil and water, so how can the county order have so much money to invite you?" Bai Moyan asked.
"He doesn't, but he has a backer in Beijing." Qiu Shenghan said meaningfully: "The person who is really looking for us this time is a big man. You'll know when you get to the capital. ”
"Did you tell Zixuan about this news?" Bai Moyan looked at Qiu Shenghan's embarrassed expression and asked suspiciously.
"A few of them are so powerful, it's boring to tell them everything in advance." Qiu Shenghan didn't hide it, and happily admitted that he didn't tell the truth to Ye Zixuan.
Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan glanced at each other, and the two smiled silently. No wonder Ye Zixuan reminded them before that they couldn't completely relax their vigilance against Qiu Shenghan. It seems that he has already guessed that Qiu Shenghan will have reservations about them.
Because Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan had a task on their shoulders this time, on the way to the capital, the two of them had already arranged everyone's identities and what they should do in the future.
Shen Yunyou himself can also play the piano, so it is naturally best to follow Qiu Shenghan's apprentice. In order to save trouble, Bai Moyan offered to be Shen Yunyou's maid.
Along the way, in addition to resting and eating, several people did not dare to delay too much time to do other things. So a few days later, they arrived in the capital.
Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan jumped out of the carriage and stretched their muscles. Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, Shen Yunyou's gaze moved up and landed on the plaque. But at this look, Shen Yunyou couldn't help but be stunned.
"General's Mansion?" Shen Yunyou looked at Qiu Shenghan incredulously, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. Could it be that the person who took the initiative to find him to come to Yunchuan Country is here?
"Let's go inside." Qiu Sheng Han nodded lightly at Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan, didn't say anything else, and entered the mansion.
Shen Yunyou and Bai Moyan cautiously followed behind him and walked all the way towards the mansion. After seeing the master of this mansion, both of them had the same feeling, that is, this general was inevitably too young.
They can also be regarded as people who have seen the world, from the Kingdom of Heaven to the Kingdom of Longming to the Kingdom of the West, in their memory, I am afraid that there is only Song Lingfeng, a young man who can really afford the position of a general. The design of the house and the furnishings in the house all show the noble status and luxurious life of the owner here. Think about it, if it weren't for the emperor's favor at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who would dare to do this?
"You're Qiu Shenghan?" The man sitting on the soft collapse covered with tiger skin glanced at Qiu Shenghan casually, and then turned his gaze to the two people behind him and asked, "These two are a gift for General Ben?" ”
