Chapter 287: The pomp of King Shou's Mansion
The young man had a rectangular face, looking rather generous, wearing a blue robe that was half used in the house, and he was in a hurry, and his face was melancholy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the man saw Mu Chengfeng and Wei Xiaoge, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, "In Xia Tan Jianyou, meet the two benefactors." ”
Sitting down in a side hall and serving tea, Tan Jianyou said to Jin Xing: "Xing'er, you go outside and watch, don't disturb anyone, I have something to say to Mu Gongzi." ”
"Yes, Fifth Son. ”
Mu Chengfeng did not delay, took out the embroidery package and handed it over.
"Tan Gongzi, the two of us were just passing by, and I saw that there were water demons who were killing the human race, and I didn't know the reason. The embroidery in the package was entrusted by a man named Tan Cheng. Tan Cheng also said that if he asked the fifth prince to take care of the family and colluded with the water demon to make trouble, he may be a traitor between the Hong family and the Tan family. ”
"Master Mu, dare to ask Uncle Cheng...... Can you still live? others, but someone is alive?" guessed that no one was alive, and Tan Jianyou's face was filled with sadness.
Mu Chengfeng shook his head, "Except for the five women, not a single person on the ship survived. I entered some true qi, and Tan Cheng only had time to explain this, and then passed away. Originally, there were four other boats upstream, but we didn't see them, and I wonder if anyone else survived. ”
Standing up, Tan Jianyou bowed deeply again, "Thank you Master Mu for your help." ”
"There is another matter, there is still a Jin Xiuxiu girl on the ship, Tan Yuan wants the two of us to send Jin Xiuxiu to Tan's mansion, but Jin girl has someone else to take care of, and she doesn't want to go with the two of us. ”
"Jin Xiuxiu?" Tan Jianyou suddenly showed a look of surprise, looking unaware. After a long time, he sighed and said: "I have heard that the embroidery of the golden girl is amazing, and Uncle Cheng actually wants to invite her to the house to make offerings, this embroidery should be from the hand of the golden girl!"
Wei Xiaoge thought to himself, it should be Tan Cheng who made his own decision and invited that Jin Xiuxiu girl to come, Tan Wugongzi had a long face.
With his brows furrowed, Tan Jianyou walked a few steps, as if thinking about the reason.
Immediately, he forced a smile and said to Mu Chengfeng: "Mu Gongzi's noble character and peerless cultivation, although those things about money seem to be vulgar, they are just some of Tan Wu's intentions, and I ask Engong not to shirk it." ”
As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom, apparently a thank you gift that had been prepared after Jinxing had informed him in advance.
Mu Chengfeng hurriedly raised his palm to refuse, but saw that Wei Xiaoge had already taken it in his hand with a smile.
It seemed that he was a little suspicious of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and he felt a little inappropriate, but after thinking about it, although he had some money on hand, he would have a long time in the future, and he couldn't finally need Miss Wei to support his family.
After saying a few words, Wei Xiaoge pulled Mu Chengfeng's sleeve and said that he was going to leave.
Tan Jianyou did not deliberately stay, "The two of them settled in Jiangling Mansion, not far from Luzhou, if you want to come here to play in the future, please be sure to let Tan Wuyi do the friendship of the landlord!"
Mu Chengfeng agreed with a smile, "If Mu Mou arrives in Luzhou, he will not bother Tan Gongzi." Now that Tan Gongzi still has to find the cargo ship, I am afraid that there are still many difficult things in his hands, so Mu Mou left first. ”
Tan Jianyou no longer retained, and personally sent Mu Chengfeng and Wei Xiaoge out of the main gate.
Seeing the two of them go away, he couldn't help but feel in a trance, and his heart was unspeakably sad.
Uncle Cheng, who grew up with him by his side since he was a child, passed away, but he didn't know who in the family colluded with outsiders.
Most of those who grew up together since childhood, most of them went to the south with Uncle Cheng, and now they are all dead......
I lost five ships of cargo and couldn't explain it to my family.
Uncle Cheng's vision is excellent, embroidery must be an excellent thing, and he wants this Mu Gongzi to entrust him when he dies.
I'm afraid I'm worried that I won't be able to give an account to King Shou this time.
This Mu Gongzi's character is really noble, and the package handed over to him was almost untouched, only a little bit was uncovered, probably just to see what was inside.
The wrapping is Uncle Cheng's usual bandaging method, others don't know, he doesn't know what.
I saw Mu Gongzi take out "One Inch Acacia" before, he is a master of external skills, where can he climb.
Not to mention that he is just a child of a concubine who takes care of the family business, even if there are several officials in the court, he can't afford to invite outsiders to worship!
The girl who followed Mu Gongzi was quite young, and her cultivation was not very high, and the two were very intimate, could it be Mu Gongzi's concubine?
No, where is there a concubine who makes an advocacy, before Mu Gongzi could speak, she took the silver ticket.
Look, Mu Gongzi seems to be planning to push the thank you gift.
Ten thousand taels of silver, as far as the old days were concerned, it was really not much.
However, if he loses the goods, he may find it difficult for him to manage the southern silk business for his family, and he may be a little strapped in the future.
After walking for a while, Wei Xiaoge whispered: "I know that if you want to refuse other people's money, you should get some remuneration for doing things, don't always be so dead-eyed." ”
Mu Chengfeng saw that the little girl next to him was a little dissatisfied, and her stupid little face looked very innocent, and he couldn't help but laugh and soften.
He smiled and said, "You girl, your net worth is not small, but you refuse to let go of any silver." If you say it in advance, it is natural to get some reward for doing something. However, I was just passing by and drawing my sword to help, and besides, I am afraid that Tan Wugongzi will lose a lot of goods, and many of his subordinates have died, so it is a little inappropriate to take his money. ”
I felt that Mu Chengfeng seemed to have some truth in what he said, but Wei Xiaoge still felt weird, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood.
Wood is the legendary "good guy", so it's strange not to think so.
"I know, in the future, I remember that I should take it, and if I think others are in trouble, I won't take it. By the way, I don't think Murong Gongzi is very reliable, if you meet him again in the future, it's better to be careful. ”
At this moment, there were no outsiders present, Jin Xing and Jin Lian, and Wei Xiaoge remembered to remind him, lest Mu Chengfeng rise up and make friends with some ill-intentioned Murong Gongzi.
Mu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh again, "As far as you are clever, although you haven't thought about it carefully, I can see that something is wrong." Although this man helped me kill the demons, he didn't check the survivors around. Although I have never been soft on killing, I am only to the enemy, and when I see those who are innocently killed, I will inevitably feel a sense of kinship. ”
"Well, that's how I feel, too. Wei Xiaoge nodded.
Tan Wu looked at it, but he was a solid person. Mu Chengfeng sighed.
In fact, Wei Xiaoge also thinks so, although businessmen may be good at cheating, but they often don't need to look at themselves, just look at those under them.
Whether it was the dead Tan Cheng or Jinxing Jinlian, they didn't say anything to Tan Wu, and they trusted him very much.
Tan Cheng went to invite Jin Xiuxiu to come and make offerings, probably wanting to do something for this fifth son of Tan, but it seems that he has done something bad with good intentions.
The two were walking and came to a lively street, but they heard a commotion ahead, and passers-by avoided it.
Mu Chengfeng pulled Wei Xiaoge's sleeve and avoided it to the side, "It seems that there is an official family traveling, and avoid it first." ”
The battle was not small, and there were several people at the head holding high the banner of evasion to open the way.
The banner was followed by more than 20 middle-aged men wearing one-color moire soap shirts and long knives hanging from their waists, all of whom were cultivated.
The middle-aged general who took the lead stepped down, unable to raise dust, but felt extremely heavy.
Definitely a master!
Behind the twenty people are two carriages, one is an extremely gorgeous eight-person sedan chair, and next to the eight-person sedan chair, there are four women with good complexions and twenties.
Two more carriages followed behind the sedan car.
At the back there were about twenty attendants with knives.
The group did not squint, as if there were no others around, with a high solemnity.
When these have gone far, there will be passers-by to talk about it.
"Could it be that King Shou is out of the city?"
"How can King Shou go out with such a little manpower, you really don't know, haven't you seen a female official next to the sedan chair, it must be the female family of King Shou's Mansion. ”
"How many ladies are there, could it be that the Oiran Liu Lady is among them?" said a young man who looked a little obscene.
"How many? Since there is only one sedan chair, of course there is only one female dependent. However, who knows which one, there are so many concubines in King Shou's mansion, and Liu Niangzi is also the bottom when she enters the palace. A man in his thirties spoke wistfully.
"It's like you've seen it. The young man said with disdain on his face.
"Hmph, haven't you seen ...... before?"
Wei Xiaoge secretly looked at Mu Chengfeng and saw that his face was a little unsightly.
It turned out that King Shou's Mansion was in Luzhou, according to Li Xingyuan, Qin Yuling was in King Shou's Mansion, could he also be one of the concubines?
After staying for a long time, Mu Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his head to Wei Xiaoge and said, "Let's go to Jiangling first, the matter of the cousin of the Qin family, we should wait for Changgui to go to Dawei to investigate." ”
Since she is someone else's concubine, Mu Chengfeng naturally doesn't have any thoughts, but it is inevitable to worry, Wei Xiaoge thought about it, I'm afraid she has to go out of this matter.
"Big brother, go back and wait for us to find Changfu, I'll go to Shouwang's Mansion for you. You're a foreign man, I'm afraid it's not easy to see Miss Qin, maybe I can see her, and I may not know. Changgui doesn't know when he will come to Dawei, I'm worried that Miss Qin will live elsewhere, and it will be even more difficult to find it in the future. ”
Mu Chengfeng had a look of guilt on his face.
"It's the eldest brother who is not good, and it must be embarrassing for you. ”
Seeing Mu Chengfeng's demeanor and the tone of his speech, Wei Xiaoge couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Although he understood that Mu Chengfeng wanted to know if Qin Yuling was doing well, why did he apologize to himself, it was obvious that his affection was unbreakable.
It's boring, it's boring......
For some reason, Wei Xiaoge suddenly wanted to stab him, for example: If you don't feel at ease, you can stay first, and when you figure it out, you won't be accompanied.
However, she also knew that as soon as such words came out, it would definitely be a rift that could never be repaired.
The problem is that Mu Chengfeng must have felt that he didn't miss his cousin, but only cared out of "morality".
What a mess for his grandmother.
Speaking of which, the female dependents of the Shouwang Mansion are in such a big battle, and life should be pretty good!
For a while, both of them were a little silent, and their steps were not as fast as before.
When he arrived at the dock and found the place where he had given the copper money to take care of the boat, Wei Xiaoge was about to beckon Mu Chengfeng to leave, but he saw him with some surprise on his face, looking at a tall and thin man in his thirties on the snack stall.
As if sensing someone staring, the tall and thin man who was drinking raised his head, even if he was a little drunk, his eyes were very sharp.
After hesitating for a moment, Mu Chengfeng bowed his hand and beckoned: "Brother Li, don't come unharmed." ”
"Why are you? are you looking for her?" asked the tall and thin man.
Mu Chengfeng shook his head, "We were going to Jiangling, passing through Luzhou, and we happened to learn that King Shou's Mansion was here. ”
"It wasn't the ...... who came to look for her," the tall and thin man pouted.
