Sixty-eighth

Wu Sen and a few guards sent Lai Gongzi back to Lai Gongzi's other courtyard in Wuchang, Lai Gongzi went out of the divine capital, and the banner was to travel the world, make friends with celebrities, study abroad, and naturally stay outside.

Wu Sen stepped forward and said, "But if you want the little one to invite Miss Fengjiao, come." "There are no women in this courtyard of Lai Gongzi, this is known as the place where Lai Gongzi studied, and there will be some celebrities and the like at this time, so it is naturally inconvenient to place women here.

Lai Gongzi said lazily: "No need, after I take a bath, I will go to bed earlier, and I will meet Lord Wu Zhangzhang for a while tomorrow." Wu Sen bowed his head, although he was just a green skin, but he was very good at figuring out other people's thoughts, under Wan Zhichao's recommendation, he was also a celebrity under Lai Gongzi, what was delicious and fun in Wuchang, he led Lai Gongzi there.

Lai Gongzi entered the room, and after a while, several servants carried a large bucket of one person high, which exuded fragrance, and when Lai Gongzi bathed, he had to sprinkle things like Lanzhi in the bucket.

I saw that the lights in the room were constantly on, and from time to time there were maids to add water, Lai Gongzi bathed once, at least half an hour, not to soak the old skin on his body, how could Lai Gongzi sleep, and today Lai Gongzi thinks that the spring crows are dirty, so he naturally has to wash more.

Several servants were waiting, and they saw Du Luohua coming up, Du Luohua was full of desire to persuade Lai Gongzi not to provoke Li Qunshan's lady, and he kept wanting to speak on the way, but Wu Sen was on the side, almost robbing Lai Gongzi of all his free time, as if Lai Gongzi had been talking to Wu Sen and couldn't spare time to deal with Du Luohua.

Du Luohua walked around outside, he didn't finish talking to Lai Gongzi, he didn't feel at ease, but Lai Gongzi had been busy, and he didn't have time to speak, a few people waited outside for a long time, and finally saw that the servants no longer sent hot water inside, these old skins on Lai Changwei's body had been washed off, and the servants outside brought new clothes into the room.

Du Luohua grabbed the steward who delivered the clothes and said, "Childe, have you finished washing, I want to see Childe in a hurry, and you will pass it on to me." The servant said, "The son will go to bed after washing, so you should come back tomorrow." Wu Sen on the side stepped forward and said, "Uncle Du, it's better not to speak." Du Luohua said: "Then how can I do it, I have received the kindness of Lord Lai, how can I watch Gongzi take risks, I don't worry, I must finish talking about this before I can go to sleep." The servant said helplessly: "Okay, I'll spread the word, but no matter what the son says, I can't be the master." And he saw the servant go into the house.

After a while, a voice came from the room: "Lao Du, come in." "Lai Changwei knows who Du Luohua is, his father sent Du Luohua to pay tribute to Du Luohua, and Lai Changwei heard that Du Luohua is very famous in the rivers and lakes, so he respects Du Luohua a point.

Wu Sen watched Du Luohua enter Lai Changwei's room.

At first, it was okay, I only heard Du Luohua speak, and the figure reflected on the window paper showed that Lai Changwei was listening carefully, but after a while, the situation was not right, Lai Changwei seemed to be excited, and his voice began to get louder, and people outside could also hear what was being said inside.

I only heard Lai Changwei say loudly: "You are also in charge of my affairs, even my father, and you will not interfere in my private affairs, what are you, you ran to my house to ask for a bite of cold food, and you dare to play with women, you really don't know who you are......"

In it, Du Luohua argued for two sentences, to the effect that he had received the great favor of Lord Lai Minghua and had to repay it, and said that the woman could not be provoked, and the people in the rivers and lakes had no scruples, and asked Lai Gongzi to take it as a warning, and his tone was still very respectful.

Hearing the "pop" inside, Lai Gongzi threw the teacup and said loudly: "Someone." ”

When several guards heard this voice, they were afraid that Du Luohua would be disrespectful to Lai Changwei, after all, he could be a famous Jiangyang thief, launch a fierce attack, and hurt Lai Changwei, and then the guards would be punished together. Several people rushed to the room together, and Wu Sen followed.

I saw Lai Changwei sitting on a chair, pointing at Du Luohua and saying, "This slave is not useful, you escort him out and drive him out of the door, something." ”

Du Luohua looked at the guards who didn't dare to come forward, and said in a deep voice: "Childe, the little one is not qualified to take care of you, but people's lives are important, and the little one will explain to the master, and then say goodbye to the son." "What kind of character is Du Luohua, who is not polite when the people on the rivers and lakes see him, even if the ten elders of the Demon Sect are not polite, no one can call him a slave, but now he is scolded as a slave, he is naturally very unhappy.

Du Luohua turned around and walked towards the door, Lai Changwei shouted from behind: "You still don't take him down, what are you waiting for?" But several guards didn't dare to make a move, Wu Sen raised his head, made eye contact with Du Luohua, and lowered his head, he didn't dare to meet Du Luohua's eyes, the other party's eyes were as burning as electricity.

Du Luohua walked to the courtyard, and Lai Gongzi's angry voice came from time to time, thinking that Lai Gongzi had been invincible for so many years, and that one dared to say a heavy word in front of him, but now he let a slave teach him a lesson, Lai Gongzi scolded, so he must let the guards escort Du Luohua up.

Du Luohua said with a smile: "Childe, these brothers don't dare, the little one will go to the divine capital and explain the situation to the master, if the master wants the little one to leave, the little one will naturally leave without saying a word." After saying that, he stepped on the flower bed on the side, and the people had already raised their heads, and the guards and servants raised their heads, and saw Du Luohua's figure disappearing into the moonlight.

Du Luohua said: "Don't pay attention to him, what to do and what to do, it's okay if you don't have him, the old man makes people stare at me, it makes people uncomfortable all day long, it's okay to get out of the house early." ”

The sun is shining, a tender rising day hangs, the door of Li Qunshan's house in Chunhua Lane "squeaks" opened, and I saw Xie Yu take a broom and sweep the dust in front of the door, Xie Yu wrapped her head with a headscarf, so as not to let the dust fall on her head, she swept very seriously, and she was very quiet, it was a small thing, and Xie Yu could also be extremely attentive.

Aunt Zhang, a neighbor who was passing by, was carrying a box of clothes to wash, and when she saw Xie Yu sweeping the floor, she smiled and said, "Little lady Li, why do you get up so early." Xie Yu smiled and said, "Don't you also get up so early?" Aunt Zhang said: "My family is a lazy man who kills a thousand knives, isn't there a spring crow in your house?" Why didn't she get up, Xie Yu smiled and said: "It's normal for little girls to be greedy for sleep." Aunt Zhang heard this: "Don't get used to her, I think there is something wrong with her, when I went out last night, I seemed to see her out at night." When Xie Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's normal for her to come out and take a breath." Aunt Zhang smiled: "I think about it, I still have something to do, so I went first." The two said hello and separated.

Xie Yu's internal cultivation is getting higher and higher, naturally there is no need to sleep more, people with high internal strength cultivation are full of sleep, Xie Yu naturally doesn't need to sleep for so long, Xie Yu untied the headscarf on his head, and returned to the courtyard, walked to the side of the room, saw the spring crow who was sleeping, holding the quilt, smiling at the corner of his mouth, muttering in his mouth, I don't know what to say, Xie Yu originally wanted to ask her what she went out to do last night, but saw her falling asleep with the quilt, it was like when she was a child, several of her junior sisters slept early in order to avoid the morning class, at that time she hid it on behalf of several junior sisters, and now it looks like the years of the year, and she feels something in her heart, so she no longer speaks, said in his heart: "Maybe it's because she's playful, it's normal, it's not good not to ask." Thinking of this, I got up and went to cook.

In a barracks in Hefeng, Ah Qiu sat on a large cart, he sat cross-legged, and on one side were more than a dozen soldiers, all of whom were shining with a lot of admiration in their eyes, looking at Ah Qiu and Gou Yu on the cart.

Gou Yu shouted: "What is the official called Wan Zhichao, just so white-faced, can't get off the stage, hahaha, my general said a word, this official didn't dare to open his mouth anymore, the next day, this old poor sour actually dared to hit my housemother's idea, let me meet, I didn't say a word, I took the old poor sour collar, threw it into the dung pit at the entrance of the vegetable market, this old poor sour ate a mouthful of dung, hahaha......"

A small soldier on one side said: "Those officials deduct our food and salary on weekdays, and we have no place to reason, Brother Gou, you throw it well, you should let that official eat two mouthfuls of dung, and it will also make us feel a bad breath in our hearts." More than a dozen soldiers on one side all shouted peace, which made the two of them proud and unhappy for a while.

The little soldier said: "Brother Qiu, you should be our eldest brother, we are all mixed up with you." On the side, more than a dozen soldiers spoke one after another, and one soldier said: "Lord Li doesn't accept the righteous son, we want to worship under Lord Li, but we don't know the way, we can't follow Master Li, just follow Brother Aqiu, and you will be our boss in the future." "It turns out that the current army has to receive "righteous sons" In order to establish a relationship, there are often such situations in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty now, but Li Qunshan does not like to engage in these, if there are soldiers who want to be his righteous son, Li Qunshan will not accept them, these soldiers see that Li Qunshan is good to his soldiers, and Li Qunshan has high martial arts, so there are more and more soldiers who want to be his righteous son, these people can't do righteous sons, so they ask for the head of Ah Qiu and Gou Yu, Gou Yu regards himself as a slave of Li Qunshan, the master does not agree, he naturally can't accept slaves on behalf of the master, of course there are fewer people looking for him, these soldiers are looking for the head of Ah Qiu。

Ah Qiu didn't want to agree at first, but resisted the desire to be the boss in his heart, and when a few soldiers saw it, they began to beg, and Ah Qiu could also keep his face, after all, Li Qunshan had an order, don't let them form a gang in the army, the soldier saw that he didn't agree, so he knelt on the ground, he used this trick to beg Li Qunshan, but it didn't work.

Ah Qiu really had a hint of intention, he got up, and wanted to pull these soldiers, but more and more people knelt down.

The kneeling soldier shouted, "If you don't agree, brother, we won't get up." A few more soldiers knelt down, and Ah Qiu had no skills, so he had to shout: "I promised, but you don't want to tell Master Li, do you know?" Several soldiers shouted in unison: "Big brother, we know." ”

A group of soldiers stood up and called the eldest brother around Ah Qiu, who said, "Tell me what is your name?" ”

The little soldiers reached their goal, and shouted nonsense, "The little brother is called Hu Laosan." "Little brother Zhou bark. "The little one is called Brother Yi. ”......

After Lai Changwei slept well, he woke up from his dream, at this time, under the order of the stewards on the left and right, the servants stepped forward one after another, these servants were divided into servants who specialized in changing clothes, servants who were specially prepared to send toiletries to Lai Changwei, servants who were dedicated to pouring night incense, and even servants who were specially equipped with Lai Changwei to wipe his shoes.

Lai Changwei stretched out his hand, waiting for the two servants who put on green clothes to serve him, and asked the steward beside him: "Are things ready?" The steward said: "Don't worry, the little ones have already taken care of everything, and they are only ready for the prince to meet the master today." Lai Changwei said: "Your news is accurate, is it true that Wu Zhangzhang and his wife have emotional discord?" The steward smiled and said: "Don't worry, Wu Zhangzhang's father-in-law, Dali Siqing Li Zaidao passed away at the beginning of this year, and the reason why Lord Wu took out the current wife is because of Lord Li, Lord Li is the former teacher of today's son, although the official position is not high, but in many places can speak, now that Lord Li has passed away, then of course there is no need to look at Mrs. Li's face." Lai Changwei smiled left and right: "When the official is to the point of Wu Shanzhang, it is also mixed up step by step, in order to please the father-in-law, Lord Wu has not taken a concubine for so many years, it is really bitter Lord Wu, today this son will solve problems for Lord Wu." Several stewards laughed on the side, and one said: "Sooner or later, the prince will definitely far surpass Lord Wu and become the pillar of the court." Lai Changwei was overjoyed when he heard this, and took a second look, it was Wu Sen who was speaking on the side, and said in his heart at the moment: "This person is a person who knows my heart, and he must be promoted well." ”

A group of people out of the courtyard gate, then to the governor of the yamen, now Li Zhongsi led the troops, Wu Zhangzhang's other local posts have been dismissed, but in the court of the capital of the imperial history, and in Huguang governor of the real difference is not exempted, are still there.

There are already people who have taken the name sticker and gone to the capital ya, and on the other side, a small pride, also carrying the girl Fengjiao, set off from the jade garden leisurely and went to the capital ya, but this kind of small sedan chair is going to go through the back door.

Lai Gongzi's name sticker Wu Zhangzhang is naturally to be received, Wu Zhangzhang is a powerful figure of the orthodox faction, and now it is a local powerful faction, but for this batch of wall grass in the court, it is also necessary to recruit well, otherwise they voted for Wu Sixun, which greatly increased the strength of the opponent, and now the prince's faction is about to recruit troops and expand its strength, and at this time it is one to unite one.

Lai Changwei followed Ou Hanbai, and the two went to the capital yali, except for a steward who presented gifts to follow him, there was no one else, Ou Hanbai came to pick up people on behalf of Wu Zhangzhang, Wu Zhangzhang can be regarded as the biggest official in Huguang, of course, except for Li Zhonghe, who has a relationship with the imperial family, but although Li Zhongsi is in power, he can't control the civil official system, on the contrary, Wu Zhangzhang can continue to find Li Zhonghe.

When I arrived at the second hall, I saw Wu Zhangzhang dressed in a green robe, not wearing an official uniform, and was coming to pick up at the door, which was extremely polite, the governor of a place around him, of course it was impossible for Wu Zhangzhang to pick up people at the gate, if Wu Zhangzhang really came to pick up people at the gate, then Lai Changwei himself would feel unbearable, Li Zhongsi came, Wu Zhangzhang did not come to greet at the gate, not to mention that Lai Changwei, who is only a talent and fame.

As soon as the two sides met, Lai Changwei bowed deeply, Wu Zhangzhang also smiled, and the steward on one side sent the gift list to the hands of Wu Zhangzhang's family, after the salute, Wu Zhangzhang stepped forward with a smile, took Lai Changwei's hand and said: "Virtuous nephew, I haven't seen him for more than two years, but the virtuous nephew is more gentle and polite, when I arrived in Wuchang, why didn't I come to see my uncle earlier." Lai Changwei said with a smile: "Uncle Wu is busy with military affairs and strategizing, he is really a first-class busy man, my father said at home, when you arrive in Wuchang, if you don't have a practical matter, you can't go to bother your Uncle Wu." Wu Zhangzhang said: "Lai Gong is becoming more and more thoughtful, thanks to Lai Gong's dispatch in the DPRK and China over the years, there is no shortage of soldiers, horses, grain and grass on the front line of Wuchang." While the two were talking, they had already walked to the inside, but they did not enter the official office, but went to the backyard, if it was in the government, then it would be too serious, unless it was to meet with a regular official person, and there would be a serious matter to meet people in these places in the official study, and now Lai Changwei is playing a private card, and Wu Shanzhang also set up a family banquet in the backyard Huxin Pavilion, and the two sides will naturally chat while eating.

Wan Zhichao and Wu Sen waited outside the capital, they would never reach a big tiger like Wu Shanzhang, Wan Zhichao was just a seven-grade official, and Wu Sen was only a steward in name, two people like Wu Shanzhang could only be regarded as small fish and shrimp, and when they saw Wu Shanzhang, they wanted to kowtow.

Seeing that the sun was half the sky, Wu Sen wiped his sweat and said to Wan Zhichao: "Lord Wan, this son has been in for a long time, and he hasn't seen a single news, can it be done." Wan Zhichao sneered: "What do you know, now Gongzi is having a big strategy to implement, not only can this thing be done, but we will have another backer in the future." Wu Sen said: "Why is this?" Wan Zhichao said: "You said that you lost the battle before, is this account counted on Li Zhonghe's head? or on Lord Wu's head." Wu Sen said: "Naturally, it will be counted on the current Lord Li." Wan Zhichao said: "Since it can't be counted on Lord Wu's head, and he can make a lot of money, of course Lord Wu will do it." ”

While the two were talking, the voice came from the front yard, and Ou Hanbai's voice came, mixed with Lai Changwei's voice, and the two got closer and closer, obviously talking, very affectionate.

Then he detained Lai Changwei and said: "Brother District doesn't need to send it, Lai will go back." Ou Hanbai said: "Lord Wu is very satisfied with Childe's gift, I think Lord Wu has not had a confidant to accompany him for so many years, Lai Gongzi's move is really a great relief for Lord Wu." Lai Changwei laughed dryly, he didn't care much about a woman who was already tired of him, but Wu Zhangzhang wanted to use this woman to deal with his wife, but Lai Changwei knew that sending this famous prostitute was just to satisfy Wu Zhangzhang's idea of rectifying his mother-in-law.

When they arrived at the door on both sides, Wu Sen and Wan Zhichao lowered their heads, not daring to look at Ou Hanbai, Ou Hanbai and Lai Gongzi said goodbye at the door, after the two separated, they saw Ou Hanbai enter the room, and Lai Gongzi also got on the sedan chair, and under an order, the soft sedan chair of the four people was gently lifted, carrying Lai Gongzi forward, in front of the Yamen, Lai Gongzi still did not dare to sit in the sedan chair of eight lifts, although he often exceeded the system, but it could not be put on the bright side, especially in front of the orthodox and clear stream of Wu Shanzhang.

Wu Sen followed aside, Wan Zhichao also rode a horse, followed aside, Wu Sen was on the side of the sedan chair, and saw that Lai Changwei's face seemed to be good, so he said boldly: "Gongzi is really a dragon and phoenix among people, presumably things must have been done properly." Lai Gongzi smiled: "Of course, of course, we have benefits to take again." Wu Sen smiled: "It's just a pity that Miss Fengjiao, such a good girl, was arched by an old man." Wu Sen guessed that Lai Changwei was also reluctant to Miss Feng Jiao in his heart, so he said this.

Lai Changwei said with a smile: "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, I heard in Beijing that the old man Wu Zhangzhang is often angry with his mother-in-law, and now he is sending a green building out, not only to wait for Lord Wu, but also to help Lord Wu repair Mrs. Wu, Lord Wu must not want to leave a reputation for affection, so there are some things to be done by others, Feng Jiao came to the door, that is, to repair Mrs. Wu, so as to take advantage of Lord Wu's heart." Wu Sen exclaimed: "I'm afraid that Miss Feng Jiao is not Mrs. Wu's opponent." Lai Changwei laughed and said: "Don't worry, Feng Jiao will repair that Mrs. Wu properly, so that Mrs. Wu is better than death, and Lord Wu is extremely happy." Wu Sen saw that Lai Gongzi was happy, and intended to lead Lai Changwei to speak more, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "There are still concubines in this world who invite concubines to repair their wives, it's really a strange thing, it seems that this Lord Wu must have been cuckolded by his wife before." Lai Gongzi smiled: "It's really uncertain, otherwise why Lord Wu hates his mother-in-law so much." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lai Gongzi's mouth, as if he remembered something.

The group walked for a long time to Lai Gongzi's small courtyard, Lai Gongzi got up and got off the sedan chair, and then a steward stepped forward and bowed and said: "Childe, the Du guards said goodbye without saying goodbye, and they haven't come back yet." Lai Gongzi's face turned cold and said: "Get out, get out, you are rich and powerful, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a good slave?" Wu Sen also said: "Under the order of the childe, I don't know how many people are willing to go to the soup for the son, and the son is not short of people." Lai Gongzi felt more and more that this Wu Sen was very much in line with his heart, so he said: "After I get the little lady to get it, you can go to the god capital with me." As soon as these words came out, Wu Sen was overjoyed, Lai Gongzi opened his mouth like this, that was to allow him a fortune, in Shendu mixed than in Wuchang to be a local snake I don't know how many times stronger, I want to kowtow at the moment, but Lai Gongzi said: "As long as this is the case, I will return to Shendu, and the matter here is only one thing to get the little lady, and you have to do it with your heart." Wu Senxi said: "Don't worry, the little one is desperate, and he wants to let the son pick this flower." "At the moment they rejoiced and did not mention it.

In the Spring Flower Alley, I know that I can't stop screaming by the trees, Wuchang is really hot, and it is not so hot in other places at this time, but in Wuchang, as soon as the sun comes out, even the ants on the ground dare not come out of the burrow, presumably the ants are also afraid of being killed by the heat.

Xie Yu opened the door, looked at the door, and the spring crow hid under the grape trellis in the courtyard, blocked the sun with his hand, and shouted, "Girl, come back quickly, this day is too hot to bear." Xie Yu smiled: "I don't need it, my internal strength has reached the point of true yin and true yang, so naturally I don't need to be so afraid of heat." "Spring Crow doesn't practice martial arts, of course she doesn't understand, she is relatively lazy, Li Qunshan and Xie Yu have thought about teaching her internal skills, but as soon as she heard that she was going to meditate and practice when she was a child, she couldn't sleep, so she didn't want to practice, which was much less diligent than Gou Yu and Ah Qiu.

I saw the sound of horses' hooves on the side of the alley, a soldier rode a horse, and carried a big bag, this soldier wore a big Fan Yang hat, it was the soldier under Li Qunshan, the soldier stopped the horse at the door, jumped off the horse, stepped forward and said: "Mrs. Li, the little Zhou bark is a soldier under Lord Li, and Lord Li has a letter." When Xie Yu heard this, he showed joy and said happily: "Little brother, please come inside, spring crow quickly bring some tea for this little brother." ”

The little soldier was flattered, followed Xie Yu into the small courtyard, and when he arrived in the hall, Xie Yu took Li Qunshan's letter in his hand, and opened it to see, on the other side, the spring crow also served a large vat of herbal tea, and the soldier named Zhou Shupi took it, he was also a small soldier, and he didn't know any etiquette, so he picked it up and poured it into his mouth, galloped for a long time, and was really thirsty.

Xie Yu asked while reading the letter: "Has he lost weight again? How has he eaten these days? Has anyone ?......washed his clothes?" and other topics, Zhou Shupi replied while drinking, and said: "Lord Li said, Mrs. Li should not give the clothes, and Master Li wants to wash his own clothes, Zhou Shupi squatted by the door, he didn't dare to sit on the chair that Xie Yu pulled for him, because he was covered in dust, and he was afraid that the chair would be dirty."

Xie Yu finished reading the letter, it was nothing more than an old saying, what "my wife don't read it, everything is fine......" Xie Yu carefully accepted the letter, then took out a few coins of silver from his arms, and wanted to hand it to Zhou Shubark, the spring crow on the side showed a nervous look on his face, and he was about to pull Xie Yu's hand, and shouted: "Girl, don't, that's three coins of silver, enough for ......" Before the words were finished, Xie Yu had already stuffed a few coins of silver into the arms of the little soldier, and said: "Little brother, take these silver taels." That week, the bark was shocked, he didn't dare to touch Yu Subai's hand, so he let the few coins of silver stuffed into his bag, and wanted to kowtow, he was a person from a military family, and he usually did chores for officers, not to say that if he had money, he would have tea to drink, even if it was good, Xie Yu held him up and said: "Don't kowtow, don't you Lord Li also hate kowtowing the most?" Li Qunshan really hates these, the reason why he can't tolerate Wu Shanzhang is that when he first met Wu Shanzhang, he didn't kneel down and kowtow.

Zhou Shupi carried a few coins of silver in his arms, turned over and got on the horse, the spring crows around him were still talking, and kept complaining that Xie Yu should not give the little soldier silver, Xie Yu saw that Zhou Shupi rode away before turning around and said: "It is not easy to send letters, I heard from my brothers that they are often sent by the officers to do miscellaneous work for the officers' families, if there is no entry, it is really difficult to support." Chun Yao said, "Why should the girl care about them? Anyway, these soldiers are either working for our family, or for other officials' families." Xie Yu didn't say a word, turned around and went.

Shi Zhi, the Hua sisters, as well as Liu Zhengyi, Tang Jian went to Wuchang City together, the Shi family can also be regarded as a big family, and they are quite famous in the local area, Shi Zhi also had a show of fame when he was young, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw Shi Zhi's green shirt, thinking that it was a show of study tours, so they did not interrogate.

Hua Ruyue is even more happy, most of the men on the rivers and lakes make swords and swords, they are all rough men, there is no one like Shi Zhi who can be both civil and military, he loves more in his heart, and he has made up his mind not to let go, and the group has entered the city, and there are already disciples who have stepped forward, and they are the children of the Shi family.

Hua Ruyue got off the horse, beckoned, and a disciple of the Hengshan faction on the side stepped forward, Hua Ruyue said: "Have you inquired clearly?" The disciple said: "Inquire clearly, Uncle Shi's old mother is in the Shi Mansion in the city, but the old lady is extremely dissatisfied with Uncle Shi, or because of what happened to Uncle Shi back then." Hua Ruyue said: "You can inquire clearly, what preferences does this old lady Shi have, what habits do you usually have, the more detailed the better, and leave quickly." The disciple should go, Shi Zhi was talking to a few family members and dart heads, explaining some things, and Hua Ruyue, who had no time to go to the side for a while.

After Shi Zhi ordered, the dart head family dispersed, Tang Jian and Liu Zhengyi saw that their expressions were wrong, and they also walked away early, Shi Zhi turned his head, and saw that Hua Ruyue was still standing aside, just waiting for himself, and no one paid attention to her for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself, along the way, Shi Zhi had intended to be cold to Hua Ruyue, but Hua Ruyue had no complaints, no matter how Shi Zhi treated her, he was always on the side, and he didn't leave, Shi Zhi said in his heart: " A woman, so cheap herself, just to make me laugh, if I am unkind, let her not get off the stage, is it too ruthless, but also make her face ugly. Then he stepped forward and chuckled: "Senior sister, let's go to Wuchang City for a while, I'll accompany you." Hua Ruyue said: "Brother Shi, no need, you just came back, let's go back and see the old lady quickly, she must have been worried about you for a long time." Shi Zhi thought of his mother, and couldn't help frowning, over the years, at first, his mother wanted to choose a woman from the home of "poetry and etiquette", but Shi Zhi dragged it later, and dragged it over, and then his mother was not so picky, but she also did not accept Hua Baoer, and wanted a woman from a "well-behaved family", Shi Zhi dragged it again, and later Shi Mu saw that Shi Zhi had not been married for a long time, and finally promised to let Hua Baoer enter the door, but Hua Bao was unwilling.

Shi Zhi was in a trance, Hua Ruyue took Shi Zhi's hand and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'll accompany you for a walk, so you can take a break, and then go to see your aunt in the evening." Naturally, Hua Ruyue is more at touching people's minds, and at this time, Hua Ruyue is already thinking about how to please Shi Zhi's mother.

Shi Zhi nodded lightly, and the two of them went to the city together,

The two walked to a restaurant, Shi Zhi has never liked this crowded place, this restaurant is just an ordinary tavern, entertaining travelers from the south to the north, coming and going are some people wearing short clothes, I don't see good clothes to go back and forth, although Shi Zhi usually doesn't pay much attention to it, but he doesn't go to such a place on weekdays, so he wants to go away.

A middle-aged man sat on his back with a child, and beside him a coarsely clothed woman, who from time to time beat the dust on the man's body with a handkerchief, and the little boy cried out in a milky voice: "Daddy, you have a white head." Stretching out his little hand, looking for white hair on his father's head, picking one by one, because the man stopped walking, the little boy tore off the man's black hair from time to time, and the man let his son pull the wrong black hair and was not annoyed, smiled Mimi and said: "Son, let's go eat beef noodles." With an excited look on her face, the woman dusted the man's head with a handkerchief, and said, "Don't get used to him, you are only paid two pieces of silver a day." The little boy tilted his head and said, "Daddy eats, Daddy eats first." The three of them laughed, lifted the curtain in front of the hotel, and walked into the tavern in front of them.

Shi Zhi was a little stunned, so he stopped in front of the tavern, and was a little dazed for a while, this kind of man in coarse cloth clothes must be a coolie man on the dock outside the city, these men live in poverty and sell coolies all day long to make a living, but it is a little surprising to see such a smile on this man's wrinkled face.

While Hua Ruyue held Shi Zhi's hand and said, "Brother Shi, what are you thinking?" Shi Zhi turned his head, looking at Hua Ruyue's expression was a little different, he held Hua Ruyue's hand and said, "Senior sister, let's go to the small sprinkler hall in front to have a look." Hua Ruyue smiled and went over there, Shi Zhi was moved in his heart, so he followed, he was still a little worried that Hua Ruyue would not go to this dirty place, but he didn't expect that she didn't care at all.

In the evening, Shi Zhi and Hua Ruyue both returned to the Shi House, Shi Zhi has two dart games in Wuchang, and the Shi family also has some restaurants and cloth businesses here, and there are two houses here.

Shi Zhi flipped through the account book, he naturally just took it out to take a look, his main energy was not here, but he still wanted to pretend, and the steward below said: "Uncle, Miss Hua has gone to see the old lady." Shi Zhichu didn't care, and when he heard it clearly, he was shocked, got up, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, come with me." ”

Shi Zhi took the housekeeper and went to the backyard, he was a little anxious, his mother was an anxious child, and he was going to get angry if he couldn't say three words, he hadn't come back to see his mother this time, and the old mother had to vomit with him again for a breath or two, how to dispel it was still a problem.

Before I got to the backyard, I heard laughter for a while, and I only heard a voice from the backyard: "Tell me quickly, what happened to him in the end" This is the voice of Shi Zhi's mother, this voice has a rare pleasure, and Shi Zhi will never have such a tone when he talks to him. I only heard Hua Ruyue's voice coming, and said: "Brother Shi has a very high prestige, and when he gives an order, everyone else dares to obey, and everyone respects Brother Shi's prestige." When Shi Zhi heard it, Hua Ruyue was talking about this time, but she just beautified herself a lot, and when she heard the laughter of her mother inside, she stopped outside.

I only heard my mother laughing from time to time, which is very rare in recent years, no matter how Shi Zhi obeyed his mother's wishes, his mother was not happy, there was only one reason, that is, Shi Zhi did not obey his mother's wishes in the biggest thing, for Shi Lao Taijun, he had to follow his own wishes in everything before he was willing to show a smile.

Hua Ruyue met for the first time, which made Shi Mu so happy, Shi Zhi didn't plan to go in, and waved his hand to stop the housekeeper behind.

Shi Zhi listened for a while, his brows expanded, he turned around, and whispered, "Let's go." He and the steward quietly walked away, but there was an inexplicable move in his heart, he was also a big boss, and he really needed a virtuous helper, this virtuous man must be able to make friends on the rivers and lakes, and the business of the Shi family can be done, and he must be able to fool the old mother at home, and he must be able to help herself, which woman can have such a mind? It seems that Hua Ruyue has done it.
