Chapter 39: New Recruits
Ning Xihan also discovered Zhao Qin. He was worried that he couldn't immediately go to Zhao Qin to thank him, but he didn't expect Zhao Qin to run over to them.
Jiang Tingcheng also saw Zhao Qin running towards them, and immediately said to Ning Xihan: "Brother Xihan, you see it's Brother Zhao Qin, I saw him running back to Zhao's mansion just now, why did he run towards us again?" ”
Ning Xihan said: "He must want to share with us the joy of Master Jiang's promotion. ”
Zhao Qin ran to Ning Xihan and said to Ning Xihan, "Ning Xihan, do you know? Master Jiang has been promoted, and he is now the county guard of our county. ”
Ning Xihan blinked his eyes and said, "Oh, that's it, congratulations to Master Jiang." ”
Jiang Tingcheng flashed his big smart eyes and said, "Zhao Qin, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you?" Why don't we have breakfast at the market in the morning. If you don't dislike it, we can be together. ”
Ning Xihan just wanted to say that they wanted to go back to Jiang's mansion for dinner, but Zhao Qin agreed.
"Okay, I just want to eat the hot tofu brain and meat buns over there, what do you want to eat?"
"Brother Zhao Qin, I want to eat small wontons."
"Let's go, I invite you, today is the big day for your father Lord Jiang to be promoted, I want to congratulate you well." Zhao Qin said and patted Ning Xihan on the shoulder.
Ning Xihan had no choice but to agree by default.
They came to a breakfast shop, and a big tent was set up outside the shop, and there were many customers inside and outside.
Ning Xihan, Zhao Qin, and Jiang Tingcheng picked a table and sat down.
They sat under the tent outside, looking at the bustling crowd coming and going on the street, Jiang Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, our Qingshui Town is still very good." ”
Jiang Tingcheng ordered a bowl of small wontons, Zhao Qin ordered a bowl of hot tofu brain and two meat buns, and Ning Xihan ordered a bowl of beef vermicelli soup and a roast cake.
The three of them ate breakfast with relish.
In a few moments, they finished eating. Jiang Tingcheng asked for another bowl of small wontons, Zhao Qin asked for another meat bun, and Ning Xihan put down the bowl and chopsticks and stopped eating.
Ning Xihan looked at Zhao Qin and said, "Zhao Qin, thank you for coming over early in the morning to inform Jiang Qingcheng of his father's promotion." You are so positive to the Jiang family, how can we thank you? ”
Zhao Qin smiled shyly in embarrassment.
"We're all classmates, what's there to be thankful for?" Zhao Qin said, and asked the shopkeeper to order another meat bun. He handed Ning Xihan the meat bun and said, "The meat buns in this shop are delicious, you can taste them." ”
Ning Xihan grabbed the meat bun, took a big bite, and praised: "Well, it does taste good." In the future, we can come here often for breakfast. Next time, I'll invite you, Zhao Qin. ”
Zhao Qin was eating steamed buns while looking at the scenery on the side of the road.
He suddenly found that there seemed to be a new group of people from the government in Qingshui Town. The people of the government were wearing uniforms, as if they were coming from the capital.
Zhao Qin motioned for Ning Xihan to look at the group of people wearing official uniforms.
Ning Xihan also noticed them.
"Zhao Qin, do you think these newcomers from the government are here to pick up Lord Jiang? Master Chiang has taken office as a new official, and is now our county guard. Perhaps, these people in official uniforms are Jiang's subordinates, his new colleagues. Ning Xihan carefully identified it while discussing with Zhao Qin.
"Probably, yes." Zhao Qin also noticed that those people in burgundy official uniforms were walking in the direction of the Jiang Mansion, so he said.
Ning Xihan said: "It just so happens that we have finished breakfast, so why don't we quietly follow these people in official uniforms and see where they are going." ”
Zhao Qin said: "Okay, this proposal is good, I'll finish it right away, let's go." ”
Ning Xihan finished eating the buns in his hand in three times and dividing five by two, watching Jiang Tingcheng finish eating the bowl of small wontons she ordered newly, and Zhao Qin also finished eating the meat buns in his hand. So, the three children cleaned up the table they had eaten and set off at once.
Ning Xihan bore the brunt of the attack and became the team leader.
He took the two little boys behind him and walked to the back of the crowd in official uniforms and hid behind a shop.
Seeing that the group of people in official uniforms were getting closer and closer to the Jiang Mansion, they simply ran back to the Jiang Mansion with a smoke, waiting for the group of people to come to the Jiang Mansion.
Sure enough, those people with swords in their hands walked to the door of Jiang's mansion.
Liu Yuhua happened to come out of the inner room, holding Jiang Jianing in his arms. Jiang Jianing was basking in the sun and did not have a blanket on his body.
Seeing such a large number of uniformed people in the government walking towards his door, Liu Yuhua was shocked.
It just so happened that Ning Xihan and the others also returned to Jiang's Mansion.
Ning Xihan saw Liu Yuhua come out and said to Liu Yuhua, "Mrs. Liu, don't worry. These people in the government should have come to serve as Lord Jiang's new county guard yamen. ”
Liu Yuhua's heart fell into his stomach in an instant.
Liu Yuhua thought to herself: "Fortunately, there is a sensible child at home who can help me share my worries." Ning Xihan, this guy, can still come in handy at a critical time. ”
So Liu Yuhua straightened his clothes and said to the guards with swords.
"You're here to pick up Lord Jiang. Master Jiang hasn't gone home yet, why don't you go to the yamen and wait first? ”
One of the officials seemed to be their leader. He took a step forward, walked up to Liu Yuhua and said, "Okay, madam." Let's go to the yamen of Jiang Junshou and wait for him. We were all dispatched here from the capital to work for Lord Jiang. In the future, we will all obey the orders of Master Chiang. We'll go to the Yamen now. ”
Liu Yuhua thought to himself that their Lord Jiang had not come back yet, and they had gone to the Yamen to pounce on them, so he said to them: "You can't wait for Lord Jiang when you go to the Yamen now, Lord Jiang has not come back yet, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Qingshui Town." Let's go to the inn and rest. When Master Jiang returns home, I will send a servant to the inn to inform you. ”
Several officials exchanged heads for a while, and then said, "Yes, madam, we are waiting for us to go to the yamen, so we might as well go to the inn to rest." Thank you Madame for the reminder, we will go to the inn to rest now. ”
Liu Yuhua secretly thought to himself, Lord Jiang's current official position is the county guard, but he didn't expect so many people to be dispatched by the capital, it seems that the official position of this county guard is not small.
When the people in the government mansion in uniform walked away, Ning Xihan said to Liu Yuhua: "Mrs. Liu, these subordinates don't know etiquette too much, so they went directly to the mansion." Why didn't you just give them a good lecture and let them know what it was about? ”
Liu Yuhua shook his head and said, "These people, the reason why they came to Jiang's Mansion as soon as they arrived in Qingshui Town was actually to give face to Master Jiang. If they hide in the inn as soon as they come and don't come out, they will lose Lord Jiang's face and show that they are not enthusiastic about Lord Jiang. ”
"How can you understand these principles in officialdom? You're still so young. However, if you want to be a half-official in the future, you will understand these truths sooner or later. Liu Yuhua said, looking at Ning Xihan affectionately, and Ning Xihan lowered his head shyly.
He has been a major general in the demon world for so many years, and he hasn't been in the world for a long time, these people are sophisticated, and Ning Xihan naturally doesn't understand.
Fortunately, he has been in the Jiang Mansion for so long and has learned a lot.
