"Anyway...... What does the general's wife look like? I haven't seen it yet."

In this era, the status of merchants was not high, and merchants were at the bottom of the list.

Even though Zhang Yi's family is well-off and their ancestors have contributed a lot to the country's tax revenue, they are still at the bottom of society, and some high-ranking officials and nobles are not worthy of seeing each other.

This is also the reason why Zhang's father has saved a lot of money, but he still forces Zhang Yiyi to study hard.

"The old general and the general's wife live upstairs in this shop now."

Pointing to the top of his head, Fu Jiulan spoke.

"What?"

Covering his mouth, Zhang Yiyi seemed to have heard something terrible.

"Brother Fu, you are just a scholar, and your lady is just a businessman, how can you win the favor of the General's Mansion and let them stay in this shop?"

Indeed, in this hierarchical society, the general's family was considered a person of prominent status.

But it is indeed surprising that they would be willing to come into contact with a merchant family and live here.

"The lady and the general's wife have some old friends, so the old general took the general's wife to live."

Fu Jiulan casually pulled out a reason, obviously not wanting to say it too clearly.

"Can I go up and meet the General's wife?"

Showing a curious look, Zhang Yiyi asked.

"Naturally, not."

Almost without thinking, Fu Jiulan opened his mouth to reject him.

"Why not? I've never had the opportunity to meet these people very often in my life."

Secretly glancing at Fu Jiulan, Zhang Yiyi pretended to be curious and pitiful.

"The general's wife usually lives in a simple house and doesn't like to see outsiders. And because of the fact that Mrs. was poisoned this time, the old general took extra care of Mrs. When the limelight is over, I'll find another opportunity for you to meet you."

It does not say anything to death, but also gives a proper explanation.

Zhang Yiyi was blocked and didn't know what to say, so he raised his head and took a look, and his tone was full of regret.

"That's it, wait for next time."

"Hmm." Fu Jiulan responded.

"Brother Fu, I will take the things you explain to heart. Since it's inconvenient for you here, I won't bother me much, and I'll bring Wang Meng to catch up with you next time."

Chong Fu Jiulan arched his hand, and Zhang Yiyi said politely.

"Okay."

Fu Jiulan didn't hold back, but replied with a smile of deep meaning.

Seeing Zhang Yiyi turn over and get on the horse one by one, Fu Jiulan's eyes fell on his boots again.

"It doesn't seem to be common for Brother Zhang to wear these boots when he was in the academy."

As if unintentionally, Fu Jiulan suddenly mentioned it.

"Ahem, these boots are light, but I'm born to sweat, so I often wear my boots stinky. That's why I only wear it once in a while, and I'm reluctant to wear him dirty."

Zhang Yiyi didn't expect Fu Jiulan to be so interested in his boots, so he had to scratch his head and explain.

"Then these boots are expensive, what if it rains or muddy paths?" Fu Jiulan asked rhetorically.

"I don't wear them on a rainy day, but if it's a dirt road, I'd rather take them off than get dirty."

Zhang Yiyi tilted his head and replied with a laugh.

"Is it the man who wears the boots, or the boots that wear the man?"

Shaking his head, Fu Jiulan smiled.

"Brother Fu doesn't know, these boots are worth a thousand gold, and my father bought them from the merchants of the Western Regions. Even if you look at Kyoto, it's very rare. When he gave me the shoe, my father told me left and right. I bought such a pair of shoes for the rest of my life, pointing to my high school shoes. That's why I still cherish these shoes."

Sitting on the horse, Zhang Yiyi explained to him one by one.

"People from families like Brother Zhang cherish these boots, and they are really valuable. His father hopes that his son will become a Chan, and he also wishes Brother Zhang an early day

High school."

Chong Zhang waved his hand one by one, and Fu Jiulan seemed to be saying goodbye to him.

"Brother Fu, I'll go first."

Leaving a sentence, Zhang Yiyi quickly whipped his horse and left.

Looking at his back, Fu Jiulan's gaze became cold little by little.

He only hoped that things were not what he expected, even if he was wrong.

When he entered the shop, the old general also came down from the upper floor.

"Old General, how is Madame's doing?" Fu Jiulan took the initiative to ask.

"It's still the same old way, no good, no bad. You've been to see Miss Leng today, how is she?"

The old general sighed, not knowing whether he was worried about the antidote or Leng Wan.

Regarding Leng Wan's situation, almost everyone in this shop has to ask again.

Without impatience, Fu Jiulan still said what he told the teacher and the Wu family again.

"That's good, we still have to find a way to get her out as soon as possible. She's a girl's family, how can she endure a dark and damp prison."

The old general frowned, and his heart was genuinely concerned.

"Yes, it will."

Fu Jiulan only replied with a short sentence, but his tone was very determined.

"Let's eat."

After laying out the dishes, Wu opened his mouth to remind everyone.

After finishing the meal in a silent atmosphere, Zhang Bingru went to help coax the milk doll early.

Ruyi likes to listen to his lectures recently, so she also follows him.

Wu was alone in the backyard cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, busy and happy.

The old general went upstairs with Fu Jiulan, and the two seemed to have something to say.

"Old general, something may happen tonight, can you secretly transfer a few of your cronies in the army?"

Walking into the room, Fu Jiulan spoke.

After saying those words with Zhang Yiyi, Fu Jiulan felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

He guessed that the poisoner would come to see in person tonight if the general's wife really woke up, so he thought about setting up control in advance.

Because he had more important things to do tonight, he couldn't stay in the shop.

At that time, if there is a real accident, there are cronies of the old general, and they can also protect the safety of the Wu family and others.

"Change? Why did this happen?" The old general asked hurriedly.

"I had people spread the news that you and your wife were living in the shop, and I told you that your wife was awake. The poisoner is so anxious that he will come to see it for himself."

Knowing that these things should not be hidden from the old general, Fu Jiulan told the truth.

"You're trying to find out who poisoned someone? So that you can still be innocent?".

is worthy of being an old general, and he quickly reacted to what Fu Jiulan wanted.

Nodding, he didn't refute.

Go to the palace to steal bile alum, if this matter is not done well, once there is a bad pool, it is very likely that there will be no return.

Seeing Leng Wan suffering in prison, Fu Jiulan couldn't put all his hopes on the antidote.

So he thought about it before and after, if he could find out the real person who was poisoned, he could also be cold and innocent.

Just the general's wife......

"Okay, I'm going to see who's targeting the General's Mansion!"

The old general did not blame Fu Jiulan for putting them in danger again because of his selfish desires, but did not mention this matter at all.
