Chapter Twenty-Nine: Huo Mansion Deliberations
Everywhere is carved beams and painted buildings, rare flowers and plants, and there is a meandering stream under the corridor, from the depths of the flowers and trees into a small pond surrounded by strange stones, like a fairyland.
"Wait here for a while, and my general will come over immediately."
I don't know when I walked into the main hall.
"Good, good."
Jiang Mingshan hurriedly agreed, and after the guards left, only their father and daughter were left.
"Dad, this is too magnificent!
Jiang Xueyan exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yes, Dad has never seen such a big house, you see this chair is all fine mahogany."
As he spoke, he began to look at all kinds of things in this house, and marveled at it as he looked.
"It would be nice if we could have such a mansion in the future, so that our brothers could live together and be more comfortable!"
Jiang Xueyan imagined that one day her Jiang family would have such a big foundation, and there should be nothing to be afraid of at that time, and she would not worry about others poking her backbone in the back.
"Don't worry, you'll have it in the future!"
At this time, Huo Zhao walked in, followed by Xu Song.
"Ah, General Huo!"
Jiang Mingshan hurriedly stood up, with a look of respect.
"Sit down, sit down! No need to be inhibited! ”
Jiang Xueyan looked at Xu Song, who was following behind, and saw that he was dressed, Xu was a person in the army, maybe he knew Fang Huai.
"You go and wait outside the door first, I'll call you if there's anything."
Huo Zhao waved his hand to let Xu Song go down first, and Jiang Mingshan also signaled to let Jiang Xueyan go out, after all, this is an important matter of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for too many people to know.
The two stood together outside the door.
"Childe, are you a man in the army?"
Jiang Xueyan expressed her doubts, and Xu Song nodded after hearing this.
"Then do you know Fang... Huo Huai! ”
Jiang Xueyan was almost about to reveal her stuffing, and quickly changed her words in the next second.
Huo Zhao had already explained to Xu Song that the Jiang family's father and daughter were their own people, so Xu Song was not guarded, and smiled when he heard it.
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang, General Huo has already told me about Fang Gongzi's life experience, don't worry, he is doing well in the army now."
Hearing this, Jiang Xueyan was relieved.
I thought that God had found a wishful man for me, but I didn't expect that he would also enter the army, and there was no way to fall in love with him for a long time.
"Then Miss Jiang... Are you him? ”
Xu Song looked at Jiang Xueyan's shyness, and faintly guessed.
"I... I'm him.. Mrs. who has not passed through the door! ”
Jiang Xueyan blurted out after thinking about it, and realized that she had said the wrong thing after speaking.
"Oh no, no, I'm not..."
As he spoke, he quickly waved his hand, his face crimson.
"Sure enough, don't worry, Miss Jiang, I understand."
Looking at Xu Song's smug face, he didn't know what to say, no matter what, looking at this person's appearance, he shouldn't be a person who talks about everything.
Jiang Xueyan thought so in her heart, so she didn't explain anymore.
At this time, a man in black suddenly appeared on the beam, and the next second a dart came this way.
Jiang Xueyan snatched it with a quick hand, and the man in black disappeared in an instant.
Xu Song on the side was a little surprised, he didn't expect Jiang Xueyan to be so good at kung fu, he thought she was a princess-tempered eldest lady, but at first glance, she still judged people by her appearance.
There was a note on the dart, and it seemed that the man in black had come purely to report the news.
The note unfolded, and there were a few large characters written on it.
"Sweep the snow in front of your own house, don't care about the frost on other people's houses."
Jiang Xueyan hadn't read a few books since she was a child, so naturally she didn't know what it meant.
Xu Song frowned and reported outside.
"General, there are assassins to deliver the message."
It just so happened that Huo Zhao and Jiang Mingshan had also discussed the armament, so they called the two in.
Huo Zhao picked up the note, looked at it, and smiled.
"It seems that we are too long to meddle in our affairs."
Yufu.
"Did you send it?"
Yu Shen is playing with the jade pendant in his hand, which is a white jade inlaid with gold jade pendant, which is carved with cumbersome patterns, and there is a Yu character engraved on the front of the jade pendant, and a log character on the back.
This is just polished by the craftsmen he sent, which means that his official road is high and far-reaching, and the future is immeasurable.
The subordinates replied.
"Back to the prince, it has been sent."
This is exactly the man in black.
"If this Huo Zhao had a little vision, he wouldn't care about this matter anymore, no matter how rampant he Xie Lanzhou was, what kind of storm could he set off by himself."
"That's what the lord said. Someone just came to report that the Governor of the Armoury had asked to see him. ”
"Okay, you go down first."
Yu Shen waved his hand, and the man in black retreated.
Jiang Hanfeng, the governor of the armory, is in charge of weapons in the army, and he also has countless transactions with Yu Shen on weekdays.
"Yo, Governor Jiang is here, and he is far away!"
Yu Shen hurriedly changed his face.
"Prime Minister Yu laughed, you are tormenting me!"
The two exchanged a few words, and Yu Shen knew that this Jiang Hanfeng would not come to him for no reason, and there must be something to discuss.
"Brother Jiang, what's the matter with coming to me today?"
So he asked straight to the point.
"Don't hide it, Brother Yu! You'll have to help me this time! ”
Seeing Jiang Hanfeng's nervous appearance, Yu Shen immediately became interested.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"After General Nahuo came back from the northwest, it was really infinitely beautiful! No, he's going to snatch my armory. ”
Since ancient times, although the ordnance of the imperial court is said to be the head of the armory, a general like Huo Zhao is qualified to be promoted to a merchant who manufactures ordnance for officers and soldiers.
But Huo Zhao's move was undoubtedly to move Jiang Hanfeng's cake, and he could have hollowed out some profits from it to fill his pockets, but now he can't.
"What do you mean by that?"
Yu Shen really didn't know about this matter, and the matter of Xie Lanzhou alone in the past few days had made him anxious, let alone thinking about other things.
But Yu Shen, a corrupt official, has a lot of interests with Jiang Hanfeng, and if he doesn't help him, he will inevitably poke out his own affairs.
And Jiang Hanfeng also knew that Yu Shen would definitely help him, so he came to ask for help.
"You don't know, he doesn't know where he got an iron striker from the countryside, saying that he wants to take care of ordnance affairs."
The matter of Huo Zhao wanting Jiang Mingshan to be in charge of the ordnance has gradually spread, and he heard that he has gone to Huo Mansion to discuss relevant affairs, Jiang Hanfeng heard this, so he couldn't sit still.
"Iron-striker? Do you know what the man's name is? ”
Yu Shen was a little puzzled, this Huo Zhao wanted to get involved with Xie Lanzhou's matter, and this ordnance that he never interfered with was now managed.
Could it be related to Xie Lanzhou?
"It is said that it seems that the surname is Jiang, and the other lowly positions are not very clear. Brother Yu, what can I do about this? My family is waiting for dinner! Can't let this guy surnamed Jiang come! ”
