Chapter 60: The Prison Guard
With a loud "crunch", the doors of the three beast heads opened, and a group of servants in gorgeous crowns and beautiful clothes walked out of the door with a beautiful girl in their arms. The girl's voice was crisp and very good, and she said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, the general is unwell and can't see guests today." β
Many officials and wealthy businessmen in front of the door shook their heads in disappointment, and one official asked urgently: "Dare to ask Miss, when will the general's body recover, I have been visiting for ten consecutive days." After speaking, everyone asked in agreement.
The girl smiled politely and said, "Don't be impatient, my lords, the general is about to wake up soon, and I am worried about you." With that, the girl returned to the mansion.
The girl walked along the stone road, saw a large marble interstitial, the interstitial screen depicted the officers and soldiers and bandits fighting, behind the large interstitial is three living rooms, used to entertain guests and the general's office, several maids are wiping the seats in the living room, and the back of the hall is a section of the way is the hanging flower door.
The girl walked into the hanging flower door, behind the door is four carved beautiful patterns of the hanging flower column, on both sides of the hanging flower pillar is the hand verandah, leading to the square compound, the front is five upper rooms, there are five wings on both sides, all are carved beams and painted buildings, between the main entrance and the wing room open two corner doors.
The girl pushed open the corner door, behind the corner gate is a chic garden, there is a fish pond in the garden, there are rockeries around the fish pond, the rockery is chiseled and the verandah is built through the mountain, the verandah connects the two pavilions, some green bamboos are planted along the verandah and the pavilion, the girl sits on the chair of the pavilion, holds the railing, and looks at the fish swimming around in the fish pond in a daze, her face is tired, and her mood is also a little depressed.
A maid ran to the girl in a panic and said, "Miss, the general has finally woken up, go and have a look." β
The girl swept away her previous tired face and said in surprise: "Xiaofeng, are you serious? After speaking, without waiting for an answer, he ran to the main compound.
At this moment, the square courtyard is very lively, a group of maids dressed in red and green crowded at the door and looked into the house, the maid door saw the girl running, hurriedly got out of the way, and shouted in unison: "Miss morning." Without looking back, the girl rushed into an upper room, and threw herself into the arms of the general, who sat on the bed, like a light swallow.
The girl hugged the general's body tightly, buried her head deep in the general's arms, and cried with joy: "Little brother, you have finally woken up, you have been in a coma for a whole month, do you know how Xiaoxi came over this month? I thought you abandoned Xiaoxi forever and ignored Xiaoxi forever." β
Ma Zhufan leaned on the pillow with a pale face, gently patted the back of Chu Xixi's neck with his palm, and said with relief: "Little brother made Xiao Xi worried, it's not good for little brother, don't cry, many people are watching." β
After hearing this, Chu Xixi shook his head and said stubbornly: "I don't care, I don't care......"
Seeing this, Long Batian and Wang Xiaopang shook their heads a little helplessly, at this moment, the room was almost full of people, there was a eunuch without beard and eyebrows, there were generals in armor, civil officials in official uniforms, maids and guards, and so on.
The eunuch who had no beard and no eyebrows said in a sharp voice: "General Ma, the miscellaneous family can wake you up, everyone, the miscellaneous family is now reading the edict of King Wu." After hearing this, Chu Xixi hurriedly left Ma Zhufan's arms, restrained his face, stood by the bed, and everyone bent down to listen to the message.
"Ma Zhufan listened to Yu, Ma Zhufan exterminated the rain sparrow mountain thief Kou has merit, saved the dawn and water and fire, now it is the time of the imperial court to employ people, plus the ancient Huai Mansion is also rampant bandits, this king specially ordered him to serve as the Guhuai Mansion Prison Guard Zhonglang General, the official to the fourth grade, responsible for the defense of the entire Guhuai Mansion, commanding 30,000 soldiers, Wu Wang Ling. β
After everyone listened to the announcement, they all said in unison: "His Royal Highness King Wu is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." β
The eunuch took the edict and sent it to Ma Zhufan, and said with a smile: "The general is fine, the miscellaneous family is polite, the love of the king of Wu for the general is really the envy of the miscellaneous family. After saying that, a group of wrestlers carried three boxes of gold coins and a hundred spirit stones into the room.
Long Batian couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, the whole room was full of dazzling gold coins, people coveted it three times, Long Batian opened a small box again, the box was tightly sealed, after opening, it was a hundred spirit stones, the rich true qi contained in the spirit stones escaped into the air to make people breathe smoothly and feel comfortable.
Chu Xi hurriedly slapped him on the back of the head, and said coquettishly: "Xiaolonglong, you are a fool, your wealth is not exposed, what if you are robbed?"
After hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly and said, "We haven't heard yet, who dares to steal the mansion in the prison guard." β
Ma Zhufan also smiled helplessly: "Batian will arrange to carry these rewards down." β
The eunuch was also relieved to see that Ma Zhufan's subordinates had accepted the reward, and said, "General, please accept the edict, the miscellaneous family is going back to Wuwang City, and the Wuwang is very concerned about the safety of the general." β
Ma Zhufan hurriedly took the oracle in his hand and replied: "Thank you Lord Steward for your patience, thank you for your love, please return to His Royal Highness King Wu, Ma Zhufan will definitely live up to His Royal Highness King Wu's expectations." After hearing this, the chief eunuch nodded happily and led his men out of the room.
But when he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a civilian uniform and looking elegant, he hugged his fists and said: "The general is well, this official is the lord of the ancient Huai Mansion, and his surname is Wu, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng and a box of gold coins I gave to the general, please smile at the general, if the general has difficulties in military salary in the future, you can also talk to the official." β
After hearing this, Ma Zhufan hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted back: "Thank you for the gift from the lord of the mansion, there will be more lord of the mansion in the future." β
After hearing this, the lord of Wu Mansion said politely: "Where, where, the security of Guhuai Mansion will be all the honor guard generals in the future, now the bandits in Guhuai Mansion are rampant, the people are miserable, and the official is also difficult to sleep and eat, the general is resting well, and the official has retired first." After speaking, he ordered his entourage to put down the gifts, Longyou Kingdom was founded by force, so the status of military attachΓ©s is higher than that of civilian officials, and the lord of the mansion, who is also a positive four products, wants to be polite to Ma Zhufan.
Ma Zhufan looked at the big and small officials visiting in the room, he had a little headache, he was really not good at socializing, Chu Xixi saw Ma Zhufan's exhaustion, and hurriedly said: "Adults are really sorry, the general has just woken up, and his body is still very weak, please move to the living room in front of you, and I will receive you on behalf of the general." β
Ma Zhufan's pale face barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's really snubbing all the adults, so I'll invite my little sister to entertain the adults." β
All the guests in the room clasped their fists and said, "Where is the general, the most important thing is for the general to recuperate......
