Chapter 685: Shut Out
On this day, she and Sibao dressed up as one, prepared all the gifts to be given, and walked towards Yufu.
Because there are a pair of snobs in the capital, if it is by their own donkey cart, it will definitely make the gatekeepers look down on it, therefore, they specially rented a carriage, from the appearance, there is not much difference from the carriage that can be seen everywhere in the capital, but the decoration inside looks a little too old.
He Zao and the Four Treasures can only be settled.
The place where they lived was still some distance from Yufu, and they sat in a carriage and walked leisurely for a long time.
Sibao was a little worried: "Can we meet Gongzi Yu this time?" ”
He Zao shook his head: "I don't know." ”
She told Sibao that this Yu Gongzi was the one recommended by Ah Che, and she had a token left by Ah Che when she left, and when she saw this token, they had a backer in the capital.
Only then did Sibao understand why he had been unhurried when he entered Beijing this time, and it turned out that he had already made up his mind.
He also had a good impression of Yu Zhi, thinking that under such circumstances that day, he could come out alone to comfort He Zao, and he could be regarded as a kind and upright person.
With such people to protect them, it will be smoother for them to do business in the capital.
It's just that they can't beat gongs and drums as soon as they come up to let people know their relationship with Ah Che, that's something they can't do anymore.
Therefore, the most important thing in front of them now is how to meet Yu Zhi, and if there is an intersection, it must not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Thinking of this, Sibao couldn't help but sigh that God was on their side.
Fortunately, last time He had an accident, it was this Yu Gongzi who helped them, so they could come to the door to thank them, and this kind of behavior is normal no matter how others look at it.
Then, the two families slowly interacted, which was very logical.
He Zao saw Sibao's thoughtful appearance, so he comforted him: "Let's not force it!" If it doesn't work this time, there will always be a chance in the future! ”
Now it is the weather of the lunar month, and there is no snow in Beijing, but the temperature at night is already below zero, the water in the canal has frozen, and the road is not easy to walk, so they are not ready to go back.
Sibao nodded.
He Zao knew that in the past three months, in fact, Mr. Jin also assigned homework for Sibao.
It is said that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, the four treasures have a narrow vision because of their background, even after passing the level of Xiucai, the imperial examination will still have great limitations in the future.
Therefore, this time when he entered Beijing, he deliberately asked Sibao to follow, wanting him to see more and see more in the capital.
There are also other assignments for homework.
In addition, because Mr. Jin also traveled to the capital after being selected for the examination, and was very close to a Cao Juren in the capital.
Mr. Jin has already written a letter of recommendation, and asked Sibao to visit this Lord Cao after he arrives in the capital and listen to some teachings!
When Sibao first came to the capital, He Zao was busy going to see Ji Ruanyu, so he was busy going to see this Lord Cao, unfortunately, this Lord Cao was sent on an errand and had to wait until the end of the month to come back.
The subordinates of the Cao family are also very polite, please Sibao wait for the end of the month to come.
Sibao is not in a hurry, he reads at home on weekdays, and then goes out with He Zao to broaden his horizons.
When they came to the gate of Yufu, the eyes of those who guarded the door were all to the sky, which was a common problem of rich and noble people, otherwise how could it be said that there were seven officials in front of the prime minister's door.
He Zao has been smiling cutely, his little mouth is also very sweet, his uncle and brother are screaming, and Sibao has sent a few purses at the right time.
The attitude of the subordinate guarding the door became more polite, and one of the elderly men glanced at the brother and sister, and bowed: "Wait, I'll go in and ask, and see if the son is at home!" ”
But the purse is sleeved.
He Zao and Sibao both laughed and waited patiently.
After a long time, the man came back, smiling on his face, but shaking his head and sighing: "It's really unfortunate, my son-in-law has something to go out, but he is not there!" Why don't you come back another day? ”
This is obviously polite words, it should be that the son of the Yu family is unwilling to see them.
He Zao was not annoyed, and smiled and beckoned a few gatekeepers to help move things: "Trouble uncles and brothers, we are here to express our gratitude, it doesn't matter if we don't see Yu Gongzi, this is our own specialty, iron stick yam, the most appetizing, there are fifty catties here, just send it to the old lady and sons of your mansion to try it!" ”
The faces of several gatekeepers changed slightly.
They are the subordinates of the Earl's Court, so they naturally know how hot the iron stick yam is fried for a while, and it is their own status that they have won a reward in the palace of more than ten catties, but they didn't expect the two inconspicuous brothers and sisters in front of them to be so generous, and they are dozens of catties when they are given away.
The gatekeeper who had gone to report the news looked at the two of them a few times and asked, "Your surname is He?" Which one is it? ”
He Zao smiled and instructed people to move things out, and replied casually: "He is the day of hoeing!" Uncle, there are also a few jars of jade eggs here, which are marinated in the best soup stock, and there is no astringency at all. There are also these two jars of wine, which are the prescriptions of everyone in the apricot forest, the wine brewed with scorpions, drinking the most is to nourish the body, that is, the female dependents, drink a little every day, it is very good for the body! Just send it in with your uncles and brothers! ”
Seeing that the small carriage was loaded with so many things, the faces of the few people guarding the door changed.
The person who reported the news guessed the identities of He Zao and Sibao, and the answer was already out: "Dare to ask the two of them, but the He family of Heyuan Songhua Egg and Heyuan Iron Stick Yam?" ”
He Zao and Sibao glanced at each other, and Sibao gave up his hand first: "I didn't expect that the Earl's Mansion had also heard of our family's name, but it flattered the kid!" ”
The messenger was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
He Yuan's family has been very famous in the capital in recent years, and I heard that it has a lot of relationship with the Han family.
has such a relationship, coupled with the fame of their He family, they should report to it.
However, in a court like theirs, there is a custom, that is, in general, the gifts given by small families without power and power are just to be reported to the steward of the house, and the masters do not need to know.
Just now, he reported it to the steward of the porter, and the steward asked him to send it away.
If he knew the identities of these two at the time, he would definitely report it to the second door.
Now, it's too late to regret it.
However, after thinking about it again, the He family is just an ordinary businessman, not even a serious imperial businessman, and the foundation is too shallow, so there is no need for them to stammer.
Therefore, the man calmed down again, and his attitude was very kind: "You go back first, and when my son-in-law comes back, I will go up and see if my son-in-law has time to see him!" He explained: "It's the New Year, it's busy." ”
He Zao and Sibao both said that they could understand very well!
