Chapter 266 The tide rises
Seeing that the second master finally came out of the yamen, Jiang Bao and Jiang Houer immediately ran out of the doorman to meet him. Jiang Houer snatched before Jiang Bao and said, "Are you hungry, right? The villain bought it for you..."
"I don't want to eat, so I'll go home." Just as Master Jiang Er came out of prison, his body was full of smell, his mind was full of trouble, his stomach was full of anger, and he didn't have the heart to eat.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bao immediately brought Desheng over and asked the Second Master to get on the horse. After Jiang Er Master turned over and took the reins, he ordered Jiang Bao, "Go and find Uncle Qiu and let him go home immediately."
"yes."
Seeing that the second master looked bad, Jiang Bao guessed something bad happened and rushed to the south gate where Uncle Qiu was. This morning, Uncle Qiu said that a batch of medicinal materials would be transported from Suzhou, and he would wait to receive the goods at the wharf outside the Nancheng. Jiang Bao knew in his heart that Uncle Qiu went to greet him personally, which means that the batch of things sent from Suzhou was not just medicinal materials.
But no matter what is inside, it is not as important as the second master's affairs.
Mr. Jiang's horse just entered the yard. Uncle Hou, the old housekeeper who was sitting under the big pomegranate tree by the screen wall, heard the movement, wiped his saliva and raised his head, greeted Mr. Jiang, "Mr. Er, is back."
Mr. Jiang threw the reins of the horse to his disciples and said to Uncle Hou, "The pomegranate on the tree is so big, you are not afraid of falling down and smashing your head."
"Second Master, don't look at the old slave, but his head is still strong. One fell swoop, and it didn't hurt at all. It was just that there were too many pomegranate seeds, so it was difficult to eat." Uncle Hou smiled with his teeth-deficient mouth. He raised his dry hands and picked a big pomegranate with cracked seeds, and handed it to Mr. Jiang with both hands. "Second Master, try it. This year, the pomegranate is ripe late, and the skin is not good-looking, but it tastes good."
Mr. Jiang never eats ugly things, but he still takes the pomegranate from the old housekeeper and instructs the servant next to him, "Uncle Hou wants to eat pomegranate again, pick the big one and squeeze it out and bring it to the juice."
Uncle Hou waved his hand quickly, "No, no..."
Mr. Jiang snorted, "Use! The remaining teeth of your old age cannot hold the pomegranate seeds."
After more than Mr. Jiang's salary, life in the mansion became better, and another group of slaves was added. Mrs. Jiang specifically pointed to a diligent servant to the front yard to take care of the old housekeeper's diet and daily life. Uncle Hou, who was already 70 years old, grew up with Mr. Jiang since childhood, and married and had children. After his grandfather and father passed away, the three brothers of the Jiang family treated the old housekeeper as half an elder.
After Uncle Hou interrupted, he returned to the West Courtyard and took a shower quickly. When he saw his little daughter gnawing pomegranates in the yard, the anger in Mr. Jiang Er's stomach dissipated. He stepped forward and rubbed his little head, "How many teeth have they fallen?"
"Eight, all the front teeth fell off." Jiang Liu, whose two large front teeth were already full, held the pomegranate and asked her father worriedly, "Dad, look at Liu'er's front teeth, are they too big?"
Mr. Jiang leaned over and looked, lying on the recliner next to him, "You can look after the house if you have bigger front teeth."
The housekeeper? Jiang Liu was so angry that he bared his teeth, wishing he could squeeze half of the pomegranate on his father's moon white shirt.
Mr. Jiang didn't care whether his daughter was angry, and lazily ordered, "Dad wants to eat pomegranates."
Eat! Jiang Liu grabbed a handful of pomegranates and put them all on his father's mouth.
After eating the sweet pomegranate, Mr. Jiang spit out the pomegranate seeds and grabbed his daughter's little claws, "Is this big, I still want to stuff my father's mouth?"
Jiang Liu puffed his cheeks and peeled off a handful of pomegranates with one hand and stuffed them into his father's mouth, "Dad wasn't happy today?"
Otherwise, why wouldn't I go to the streets and run back and lie down?
Mr. Jiang Er looked at the fish scale clouds in the sky high in Qiuri and sighed, "Liu'er, are you running faster now?"
Dad's thinking has always been absent, and answering irrelevant questions is common. Jiang Liu followed his words and replied, "Well, not only Liuer, but my sister is running very fast now."
Jiang Liu felt that, in addition to suffering, the only thing she could barely count as gold fingers as she ran faster, so she practiced hard every day. Jiang Muyan was with her younger sister in daily life, and she practiced her younger sister. Although she couldn't catch up with her younger sister, she was so thin that she had to take a few steps before and had to take a break faster.
Mr. Jiang Er held his daughter's little hand and reminded him, "In the future, you two will bring at least three guards and four martial maids when you go out. In addition to Hu Yantu and Ya Yin, bring Qi Meng with you."
Qi Meng is the best kung fu guard in the mansion, except Ya Yin, Hu Yantu, Jiang Bao and Jiang Cai. His father asked them to take so many people, which means that he expected to be outside to be more dangerous than before. But his father didn't want to say why, Jiang Liu didn't ask and nodded obediently, "Yes. Daddy, don't worry, my sister and I will be fine, and nothing will happen."
"Gululu..." A loud voice came from Mr. Jiang's stomach, replacing his answer.
Jiang Liu was surprised, "Dad isn't full?"
Mr. Jiang said pitifully, "Dad today, except for a few pomegranates, he has never eaten anything beside him."
"Then are you still lying here?"
"It's not that you are here, but Dad came here."
Jiang Liu...
Jiang Bao walked in quickly, "Second Master, Uncle Qiu is back."
Mr. Jiang let go of his daughter's hand and rushed to the study in the front yard. Jiang Liu also stood up, "Dad, let's have someone send some food?"
"Dad wants to eat noodles."
"Finish." Jiang Liu immediately ordered Shu Qiu, "Go and ask Mrs. Liu to make a basin of noodles and take it to the study room in the front yard."
Shuqiu asked, "Girl, the second master has a lot of appetite, and he has been hungry in the morning until half a while. One basin is not enough, right? Why don't you make two basins?"
Jiang Liu...Is her father a pig?
When Mr. Jiang arrived at the study, he saw Uncle Qiu wiping his sweat towel with a sweat towel, and asked, "Where did you go? Why did you come back so long?"
Uncle Qiu bent down and saluted, replying, "A batch of medicinal materials are sent from other places, and the old slave will wait outside the south city gate."
The medicinal materials will be investigated strictly when they enter Beijing. If no one takes care of them, they will be detained by the soldiers guarding the city. Mr. Jiang Er ordered, "You will continue to tell me that our medicinal materials will all enter the city in the future, Jinguang Gate."
The Golden Light Gate of the Xizheng Gate is closer to the Xishi City. Mr. Jiang is the commander of the Xishi City and has a better relationship with the officers and soldiers guarding the Xishi City Gate. Uncle Qiu immediately responded, "It's still Mr. Er thought about it carefully."
Mr. Jiang snorted, "If you have your own city gate, you will go to the south city to see people's faces. You are stupid!"
"The second master taught me a lesson." Uncle Qiu responded again. "I'm anxious to call you back because there are a group of military horses in Suzhou that will enter the city from Kaiyuanmen within three days. After offering horses to Taipu Temple, I will settle in the memorial courtyard in Yanfufang. I guess I won't leave within one month." Mr. Jiang said the serious matter, "Including Ling'er, you guys are rarely coming outside the mansion this month to avoid causing trouble."
It is a very decent job to go to Beijing to offer horses. The soldiers who can come to deliver horses must be well-known in Suzhou. The last time the general who came to Beijing to offer horses was Jiang Ling's biological father Ren Muyuan. It was also at that time that Mr. Jiang, who was so happy to wander around, was very pleased with him and had wine with him.
Ren Muyuan was killed, and Jiang Ling fled to Kang'an to escape into the Jiang family. The people from Suzhou made Jiang Erye very alert.
Uncle Qiu stepped forward and whispered, "Second Master, the person who came to Beijing to offer horses this time was Song Ke, the guerrilla general of Zuowu Guard. He was a capable subordinate of Jiang Jinzong, the commander of Zuowu Guard. According to the old slave's secret investigation, the assassination of General Ren and the killer of the Ren family was probably sent by Jiang Jinzong."
Unexpectedly, Uncle Qiu had already investigated so clearly. Mr. Jiang asked, "Is this Chen Ke recognized you and Ling'er?"
Uncle Qiu, who was once the military advisor of the Zuowu Guard, nodded embarrassedly, "He recognizes the old slave, and he has also seen Young Master Ling."
