A group of idlers next to him saw the excitement and gathered around. Brother Du Jie walked forward with a smile, and the housekeeper covered his mouth and kept retreating, seeing that he was about to hit the sedan chair, and was kicked out by the official master behind.

The official seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and saw his butler so ugly in public. Annoyed and angry, he said: "You people are so blind, do you know who I am?" Aren't you really afraid of going to jail? ”

Du Jie and the three of them looked at each other: "Why don't we have a king's law?" You come to see the excitement, and we come to see the excitement. Why did the Yandao envoy also manage the security of the imperial capital? ”

"Do you recognize this officer?" The official lord couldn't help but feel a little weak when he saw that they had no fear, and asked carefully

Du Jie made an expression that seemed to be smiling: "I recognize the clothes, but no one has seen them?" There are too many officials in the imperial capital who are bigger than the Yandao envoys, but there are only a few people like you who return to Beijing to resume their duties and bring housekeepers and thugs. The door of this Du Mansion, I'm afraid I can't let go of you officials who climb relationships, so you can go back as you come. ”

After hearing this, the official old man couldn't hold back a little on his face, and snorted tightly, and was about to say something, but he was pulled by an old man with white hair next to him, and the official old man wanted to be angry, but when he saw the one behind him, he hurriedly owed and said, "Lord Xu." ”

The old man smiled and hugged his fist at Du Jie: "A few little brothers, I'm really sorry, I came to congratulate Xiao Du Gong today, but I didn't expect someone to make a fool of myself and bumped into a few people." I'll accompany you for them. Come, take ten taels of silver. ”

There was a little guy next to him who trotted over with a silver bag, and the old man turned around and took the silver from the little guy's hand and handed it to Du Jie himself: "Little brother, take these silver taels to buy some pastries." ”

Kong Miaozhi caught the silver from the side, pouted and said, "Why is the official from the second grade so shabby, Lao Qi, this old guy is testing you." Don't play with such untruths. ”

Du Jie looked at this group of faces, and suddenly missed the days of the Northwest Border Pass. I also feel that those eventful years have become meaningless. Stopped in place for a while, and the old man listened to Kong Miaozhi's words and looked at him again. Only then did he say: "This little brother looks a little familiar, but the son of an old man? The old man Xu spontaneously, respects the ......, and the little brother's surname is Kong? Didn't you ask the grandson of the dragon military division? ”

When Xu spontaneously said that he was asking the Dragon Military Division, the people around him suddenly stopped the noise and looked at Kong Miaozhi with some trepidation.

Wu Qi bit his ear at Kong Miaozhi again and said, "Sixth, don't you see that your family is so hard?" This group of hat masters are all suppressed by you. ”

Kong Miaozhi also muttered in a low voice: "If you recognize this, you can't play with the child's spilling scoundrel." It's a pity that such a fun opportunity. After speaking, he changed his face, and spontaneously clenched his fists at Xu in front of him like a spring breeze and said: "Lord Xu is polite, but children are forgetful." A few years ago, I also met adults with my grandfather at the Sky Banquet. I didn't expect to recognize it just now. ”

These two sentences stunned Du Jie and Wu Qiquan. The two looked at each other, not knowing what Kong Miaozhi wanted to do.

"I don't know what your lords are doing in front of my junior brother's mansion."

Xu Zifa originally wanted to set it off, but when he heard Kong Miaozhi's words, cold sweat suddenly broke out in his palms, and then he asked in a dry throat: "Who is Mr. Xiao Kong's junior brother?" ”

Kong Miaozhi made a very shocked expression: "It's the new Wu'an Gong Du Jie, you haven't seen it yet, have you?" This is the grandson of Marshal Du, the new Duke of Wu'an, Du Jie. After speaking, he pointed to Du Jie beside him

After hearing this, Xu spontaneously immediately knelt in front of Du Jie in panic: "The lower official has seen Wu Angong, please redeem the lower official's eyes." The officials who followed him all knelt in place, and the salt envoy next to him was unimpressed at first, but when he heard that Du Jie was the Duke of Wu'an, his face instantly turned white, and his body was like a sifting chaff.

Du Jie was a little unaccustomed to it, turned sideways, and did not accept this salute. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "My lords, get up and speak, although I have a duke, I have no official position, so you don't have to be polite." ”

After speaking, regardless of the reaction of these people, he walked straight to the gate of the house, and said to himself when he passed by the salt road envoy: "I just heard a housekeeper say that the city wall in the west of the city lacks strength, and I don't know if it's true." ”

Xu Zifa didn't know what it meant, at this time he was begging Xiao Du Gong for something, how could he offend him because of a salt envoy. didn't wait for Du Jie to say anything, and scolded the salt road envoy: "Come on, the salt road made Song Yujin commit murder and take him and the evil slave!" ”

Du Jie didn't plan to deal with Xu Spontaneously and save him a chance, but thinking of the few thugs who fell to the ground just now, his heart moved slightly, and then he said to Master Xu unhurriedly: "By the way, a few people next to me seem to have been injured by me just now, so it's better to let them come to me for a while, I'm not polite." ”

Xu spontaneously just wanted to be polite, but he was choked back by Du Jie. The doorman of Du Mansion had already seen the situation outside, and then compared Du Jie's face with the portrait. Determined that this was the young master of the house, he hurriedly opened the door. shouted loudly: "Welcome the young master back to his home." ”

Du Jie was also not polite, took Wu Qi and Kong Miaozhi into the mansion, turned around and ordered the door to close the door of the mansion. No one was allowed to enter or leave without his command.

Du Mansion is only one size smaller than Yongding Palace, and the magnificence of the house is famous in the imperial capital. And there are two gardens in this house, although they are not big, but they are very stylish. Back then, the prince of Yongding asked the first emperor for important times, but he failed to do so.

The housekeeper of Du Mansion gathered in the atrium with the maids and servants, and Du Jie didn't say anything, just recognized his face, and let them all go their own ways.

The housekeeper's name is Wang Shoucai, which sounds like a rich name, but his life is really not good, and it took him half a lifetime to find a place to eat and eat. Later, I didn't know how to climb the line of King Yongding. Finally, when the emperor rewarded the Du family's mansion, he was recommended by the prince of Yongding to be the housekeeper in this mansion.

Seeing that Wang Shoucai had been following him, Du Jie frowned: "Steward Wang? ”

Wang Shoucai hurriedly replied: "Young Master, you command." ”

"Are all the people in this mansion recruited by you?" Du Jie asked with some expressionless face

Wang Shoucai was sent by King Yongding, and the prince just told him to serve the old marshal's family well. But Wang Shoucai knew the prince's heart, and it was impossible for him not to think about it. The people recruited at the beginning were all let the prince go through it, and the prince also deliberately let a few people in.

Wang Shoucai didn't know why his young master suddenly asked this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Young Master Hui, it is indeed a small one carefully selected, and they are all innocent people." ”

Du Jie nodded: "Well, Steward Wang is the old man of the prince of Yongding, I heard that the prince of Yongding values you very much, how can he be willing to send you to me as an errand." ”

After listening to this, Wang Shoucai replied with a smile: "The little one received the great favor of the prince, and he only had a place to make a serious living when he was fifty years old. A few days ago, when the emperor gave the young master a house, he happened to be playing chess with the prince, and he gave the old slave over with him. ”

"Oh? Is it the opening of the Holy Heavens today, but that is the Holy Decree? Du Jie looked at Wang Shoucai with a smile, and then continued: "Then the eating, drinking, and Lazar of the whole family depends on Steward Wang, okay, you go down, I still have something to discuss with a few of my fellow disciples." ”

Wang Shoucai retreated with relief.

When Wu Qi saw Wang Shoucai leaving, he immediately couldn't sit still. I'm clamoring to go around the house, and by the way, I want to find a house with a good view, which I plan to use as a long-term base in the future. Kong Miaozhi even directly ordered a residence called Yafeng.

Du Jie asked with some curiosity: "Sixth, have you been to this house before?" ”

Kong Miaozhi smiled a little mysteriously, and then said: "This house used to be Mrs. Ya's residence, I know that you are young and have never heard of Mrs. Ya's name, that is the first beauty in the world back then." I heard that he also had a personal affair with Emperor Lao Tzu. ”

Kong Miaozhi's eyes lit up when he said this, and Du Jie and Wu Qi, who were watching it, had goosebumps for a while.

"Madame Ya is not only a beautiful woman, but also brilliantly written. Among the eight poems circulated in the imperial capital, five of them were filled in by Mrs. Ya. However, this garden is the most talked about because the current saint, who was still the crown prince back then, and the overseas swordsman Bai Liqi pursued Mrs. Ya together in this garden. Although this matter hinders the spread of the royal face ban, there is no impermeable wall in the world. ”

Wu Qiyi was also interested when he heard it, and pulled Kong Miaozhi to listen to the fun. At this time, Wang Shoucai hurriedly ran back from outside.

"Young master, Prime Minister Zuoban came to pay a visit."

Du Jie frowned after hearing this: "It's better not to come and see, this is not the time to stop, I won't see you." ”

Wang Shoucai saw that his young master was unhappy, shrunk his head in response, and was about to go back.

"Slow" Kong Miaozhi stopped Wang Shoucai, and said to Du Jie: "Old Seven, your family has been proud of the spring breeze recently, don't fall into the mouth, the officials of this court are not as good as our senior brothers, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may be unlucky, in this way, you will socialize in front, and I will go to Yafeng with the third child to wait for you." After speaking, Wu Qi followed Kong Miaozhi with a hippie smile.

Du Jie was sullen and could only press back, and then ordered Wang Shoucai to go to the front and greet him in person.

About two hours later, Du Jie rubbed his head and arrived at Yafeng Garden. Kong Miaozhi was frowning and dancing with Wu Qi about how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Baili Qi competed with each other to win Mrs. Ya's heart.

Du Jie actually has no interest in these romantic affairs, he has been marching and fighting since he was a child, and he mostly listens to some chivalrous stories of righteousness. These things of children's affection sounded a little tasteless, but Wu Qi listened to it lively, so he had to listen patiently to Kong Miaozhi to continue.
