Chapter 392: Ambush Health Hall
In the blink of an eye, three or four days have passed.
In the early morning, in the city of Huainan, there are few pedestrians.
"Xiangye, are we going to continue to wait today?"
"Why don't you just come to the door to propose? If the other party disagrees, I will take Long Wuwei's brothers and put the knife directly on their necks to see if they disagree. ”
"Well done!"
"No, no...... Hey, hey, hey, it's all taught by Xiangye well. Hou Ji smiled and touched the back of his head, who knew that the next moment he was greeted by a big fight.
"Smack!"
Hou Ji's brain was almost beaten out by Chen Chao.
Chen Chao withdrew his hand angrily, and said with a scolding grin: "You treat your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future, that's it?" ”
"If people don't agree, you're going to put a knife on their neck?"
"What's the difference between you and bandits? Are we bandits? ”
Hou Ji didn't say anything, followed Chen Chao's side, lowered his head and clasped his hands.
Didn't he think that everyone couldn't stay in Huainan for a long time, and the second lady Ning Baizhi was about to give birth, so she had to rush back to Chuzhou before the second lady gave birth.
After finding a breakfast shop on the side of the street and simply finishing breakfast, Chen Chao and Hou Ji returned to the inn.
"Xiangye, General Murong is here." Before he could enter the door, the guards came to report.
Chen Chao nodded, entered the inn, climbed to the second floor with a sigh, and entered the room to see Murong Chong.
Before he sat down, Chen Chao asked anxiously, "Your mother didn't embarrass your sister, right?" ”
Murong Chong's heart was touched!
The first sentence Chen Chao said when he entered the door was that he cared about Murong Yue, which showed that Chen Chao cared about his sister very much.
My sister married Chen Chao, and she couldn't endure hardships in the future.
He is very relieved to be a brother.
Murong Chong lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Chen Chao, and responded: "My mother didn't make it too difficult for my sister, but in the past few days, she has been punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall to copy the female commandment, and she has given two sentences of verbal instruction, and nothing else." ”
No matter how you say it, Murong Yue is also a piece of meat that fell from the Lu family.
When Murong Yue was taken by the first emperor and forced to enter the palace, she was reluctant to be a mother.
Later, the news of Murong Yue's death in the sea of fire came back to Huainan, and the Lu family cried several times in a row, and his eyes were almost blind.
This time Murong Yue came back to life and returned home, although the Lu family scolded Murong Yue for being shameless, he hooked up with Chen Chao early, and saved a cheap life!
But I was still extremely ecstatic in my heart.
Her daughter is not dead, she is still alive, and that's enough!
"That's fine."
Hearing this, Chen Chao completely relieved his heart and took a sip of tea.
Spit out the tea leaves, Chen Chao held the teacup, and asked again, "By the way, why did you come here today?" ”
Murong Chong said: "I got the news from my father, and Steward Mo will come back today." ”
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
With a bang, Chen Chao got up and said excitedly:
"Then don't ink, go, block people."
For this disciple from the Baijie Sect, Chen Chao had great interest.
Muskets, artillery, such lethal thermal weapons, the Chen Dynasty must have made.
If you can build it as early as possible, try to build it as soon as possible!
Don't look at the fact that several countries are peaceful on the surface and are commensurate with brothers, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging, and maybe one day a war will be launched.
With muskets and artillery in his hands, Chen Chao has a bottom in his heart, even if he doesn't need to eat ashes there, he must make them.
With Murong Chong, Hou Ji and a long Wuwei, Chen Chao ambushed near the health hall in advance, although he must be able to block Steward Mo in Murong Mansion, but it is far from being direct here.
This time, Steward Mo led the team out for half a month, and when he came back, he would definitely come to the health hall to have a look, and by the way, he would stuff some money for those orphans.
Chen Chao is just waiting for the rabbit!
There is another reason for blocking people, Chen Chao doesn't want to cause any trouble for Murong Mansion.
……
……
Sunset, sunset in the west.
"Alas, Steward Mo, hasn't arrived yet? How did you go down? ”
"You go back first, I'll buy something, and then I'll be there."
“…… Okay, Steward Mo will come back soon, and we will have a drink together tonight. ”
"Okay."
Before the city gate was closed, a group of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages pulling goods entered the city.
At the gate of the city, the middle-aged man sitting in the leading carriage suddenly jumped out of the carriage with one hand, said a few words casually to the accompanying guards, and waved his hand to watch the convoy gradually disappear at the end of the street.
When the shadow of the convoy was completely gone, Steward Mo came to a nearby rice shop, and the owner of the rice shop knew Steward Mo and greeted him with a smile:
"Steward Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's still the same?"
"Well, as always, ten bags of rice."
Steward Mo took out the silver taels from the money bag and threw them to the rice shop shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper got the money, he smiled and waved his hand, and sent two strong rice shop guys to pull a car from the backyard with ten bags of rice on it, and followed behind Steward Mo.
In the following time, Steward Mo walked around the street again, going to cloth shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, and candy stores...... There are more and more things, and there is less and less money in the purse.
Yes, this time I went out for nothing, and I didn't have any money left.
With a few wagons of supplies, Steward Mo led people to the slum and approached the courtyard directly.
"Steward Mo, you send things to the health hall every month, how much does it cost?"
The rice shop guy asked.
Steward Mo waved his hand, turned his head, and said with a smile: "Little money." ”
"Yes, yes, Steward Mo is the big butler of Murong Mansion, the celebrity in front of Mrs. Murong, can he still miss this money?"
Another guy from the rice shop said.
Steward Mo smiled and said nothing, and everyone soon came to the health hall.
The guy helped unload all the things in the car and moved them into the yard, and Steward Mo stood at the gate of the yard and hugged his fists to show his gratitude.
After the guy left, Steward Mo entered the courtyard.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of several old people and children in the courtyard, Steward Mo showed a relieved smile on his face.
"Xiao Mo, look how happy the children are......"
An old man walked up to Steward Mo on crutches, and couldn't help but say when he saw the child dancing when he got the candy.
"yes."
Steward Mo sighed sincerely.
"It costs a lot of money to buy so many things, right?"
"I don't have much money, the house is in charge of food and housing, the old man and lady are generous, I can't spend my monthly salary, it's better to buy something for the children."
"You, you, don't think I don't know that for so many years, all the money you saved to help us has come to help us, and you yourself are not even willing to buy yourself a new dress."
Steward Mo rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Don't talk about it, these are trivial things." ”
Divide the things, Steward Mo will go back, the lord and the lady are still waiting for him to report, he can't delay here for too long.
"Let's go, I'll see you again at the end of the month." Steward Mo beckoned.
"Slow down on the road, little Mo...... These things are enough, we can't eat too much, and a few days ago, you asked a friend to send a lot of silver taels, and I replaced them all with food, which is enough for a few months. ”
"Friends?"
Steward Mo was stunned.
He didn't ask any friends to come over and send money.
"Yes, your friend." The old man was pleased: "They said that you let them come, and they gave them more than a hundred taels of silver, I have seen so much money in my life, I plan to exchange half of that money for food, half of it is hidden, and the children are all older, buy them a few new clothes......"
