Chapter 391 Transformation
Yan'er was a sleepy age, but this day she got up early, carrying a small cloth bag, and took a few maidservants to the front yard to summon many servants to send out strings of coins.

"Remember, report to me immediately if you have any news."

"Miss Yan'er, there has been news from the other courtyard. Governor Yang's family has packed up last night and is setting up a carriage..."

"Have they eaten and set off?"

"This little guy doesn't know anything."

"Go and ask the cook in the other courtyard, you take this string of money first, go and go quickly. That...does the concierge see anyone coming to visit?"

"No, the villain will go and wait here..."

Yan'er wanted to ask too many questions, and she couldn't remember, so she took out a small note and looked at it twice, and continued to inquire about various news.

"Which one is the gardener in the west courtyard... Has Mr. Taining arrived at the public house?"

"Not yet, Mr. Taining's little grandson spilled ink on some famous painting, and Mr. Taining is teaching his grandson a lesson, crying hard."

"Where is Mr. Jiang Han? When are you going to see off Governor Yang?"

"Mr. Jiang Han was tired and sick, so he just got up. It should be a while..."

"Okay, who... oh, Granny Dong, who is decocting the medicine, bring Granny Dong... I'll go, Feng'er, you wait for news here, and I'll go and bring Granny Dong to Eldest Sister."

This little servant girl is usually very lazy, but recently she is very motivated to do these things, and she runs very fast with her skirt in her hands, looking like she is in a hurry...

~~
In the guest house, Jing Xuan was still scolding Jing Kan.

He loves this little grandson the most on weekdays, but today the stained painting was supposed to be taken to Yuan Haowen, so he is inevitably angry.

Jing Xuan and Yuan Haowen are on the same list, and Jin Guoxing has passed the Jinshi for four years and has a very close personal relationship.

If the Kingdom of Jin does not perish, perhaps the two of them will have the opportunity to disagree on their political views in the future.But before they can display their talents in the officialdom, they have already destroyed the country and family.

The two became adherents together in the same year, and their friendship deepened.

Looking at the painting in his hand, Jingxuan cursed but gradually lost his mind, thinking of the possibility that the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin would be wiped out by the Mongols, there would be no possibility of returning to the country, thinking of the death of old friends now... I just feel that life is too bitter.

"People of my generation live in the world..."

Jing Xuan murmured, leaving his ignorant grandson behind, and stepped out of the small yard, only to see the sweeping servant looking over his head.

Jing Xuan waved his hand slowly, and said: "There is no need to probe, the old man just told you... Today the old man really wants to meet guests."

"Sir, villain... villain..."

The servant sweeping the floor was extremely frightened, his face turned pale with fright.

"Go, get some reward money."

Jing Xuan took a step forward, shook his head with a wry smile, and muttered to himself, "I'm a girl, I have nothing to do with you..."

He could see many things clearly, but apart from this emotion, he didn't say much, after all, it was a matter of the owner's house.

All the way to the public room, after sitting for a while, someone came forward and said: "Mr. Taining, we have a visitor."

"Go and invite Goro..."

~~
"Taisu sitting... the old man thought Li Xia would come over in person. It seems that he has no such courage, which is disappointing."

Bai Pu didn't dare to respond, he bowed and sat down on the chair.

Jing Xuan asked, "Did you see Li Xia last night?"

Bai Pu said: "I met you this morning, he came to see me when he saw that the manhunt in the city had stopped."

"According to his conditions, Yang Guo will leave immediately."

"Yes, Li Xia also said to be respectful and trustworthy. Please open the city gate. He will go to Kaifeng again and arrange for his people to withdraw from Liu's house."

Jing Xuan said: "Let him go out of the city, so what if he doesn't keep his promise?"

"The Zhang family sent a letter quickly, and within two days Alan Da'er could find Shi Zhang at the Liu family. At that time, Yang Gong had just arrived in Shouzhou. It was safe for both parties."

"Let's arrange it like this. We will open the North City Gate in half an hour."

"Yes."

After talking about business matters, Bai Pu talked about private matters again, and asked respectfully: "I wonder if I can let the younger generation out of the city? The younger generation still needs to rush back to Huolu's apartment."

Jingxuan said: "Taisu, wait for two days. I will wait for the matter here. The old man will go with you to see Yuzhi."

"Thank you, Mr. Jing."

"If you see Li Xia again, tell him that the old man wants to talk to him about... some private matters, he can decide when, where and where."

"This junior will definitely do it, but I'm afraid Li Xia won't come to see this junior again."

……

Zhang Hongdao sat there drinking the decoction from the beginning to the end, without saying a word.

After Bai Pu left, Jing Xuan said: "Li Xia saw Bai Pu this morning, if Wu Lang sends someone to watch, can he be caught?"

"If you can't catch it, just these two sentences, you can throw a note. The reason why Li Xia asked Bai Pu to pass on the message is nothing more than to test our sincerity."

"Li Xia will leave the city through the north gate in half an hour. Will Wu Lang secretly send someone to arrest him?"

Zhang Hongdao shook his head, and said: "It's a trivial matter to spread the word in Kaifeng. Li Xia can send someone there at will. The reason why he said this is still to test. Li Xia must still stay in Bozhou City to see if we send people. "

"Yeah, I used to think that this son is bold in doing things, but now it seems that he is very cautious."

"He is different than before." Zhang Hongdao sighed: "Last year, he could only kill people, but now he can weigh the pros and cons, contact various forces... and he is even more life-saving."

"He has benefited."

"It's harder to deal with."

"Why do you always think about dealing with him? Even if you deal with him, how much will you gain and what will you lose? The law of war says that 'the first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city'. The same is true for dealing with people."

Zhang Hongdao was silent, with a look of thought in his eyes.

He has always thought he was smart, but today he rarely has reflections.

"May I ask you everything, sir? I'm going to see my eldest sister."

Jing Xuan stroked his long beard and nodded, said with a smile: "Goro has also benefited..."

~~
"Is the eldest sister here?"

"I met Goro, in the pavilion over there..."

Zhang Hongdao nodded and walked over slowly.

Bypassing Huamu, Yan Shu was talking to Zhang Wenjing.

"Anyway, thank you for what happened yesterday."

"Sister-in-law is being polite, it's nothing more than a little effort."

Yan Shu turned around and saw Zhang Hongdao approaching, panicked for a moment, then showed a gentle smile, stepped forward and said softly: "How come the officials are free today?"

"It's settled." Zhang Hongdao smiled rarely, his eyes much more relieved than usual.

"That's good, the officer is working too hard."

"You go back first, I'll talk to my eldest sister... By the way, I will come back earlier today."

Yan Shu was a little overjoyed, and said: "That concubine prepares some good food to wait for the officials."

"Ah."

A few of Zhang Wenjing's servant girls ran over from a distance and stood there as if they had something to say, but they didn't dare to go forward.

Zhang Hongdao walked into the pavilion, glanced at them, and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are doing."

"There's nothing to do."

"You plan to use the pretext of delivering medicine to Mr. Jiang Han, and sneak into the carriages of the Yang family while he is saying goodbye to Yang Guo."

Now that she was spotted, Zhang Wenjing didn't deny it. She looked at her elder brother openly and said, "I don't like the people my father and brother picked, and I have to pick my husband and son-in-law myself. I'm convinced... Li Xia. "

"so what?"

"I want to meet him, tell him what I want, and let him marry me."

Even being the daughter of a wealthy family in the north, Zhang Wenjing's fair face was flushed, she tilted her head, and pursed her lips slightly.

Some bold, some shy.

Seeing his beautiful sister's attitude, Zhang Hongdao was a little angry instead, and asked, "Are you still going to elope with him?"

"Eloping is something only silly girls do. I want to marry him in a legitimate way and keep him."

"Oh, you're not afraid of getting involved at home?"

"Fifth Brother can't help it, he always has a way."

Zhang Hongdao sighed and looked at the lake with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Wenjing was more calm than him, and asked, "Can Fifth Brother help me?"

This question sounds naive.

It's like a girl who has been dazed and only sees her own little love and love, and can't see anyone else...

But Zhang Hongdao stood silently for a long time, and unexpectedly said slowly: "Okay."

Zhang Wenjing was also very pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect her fifth brother to be so straightforward today.

She was very happy, and hurriedly performed a blessing, her eyes were full of pride and longing.

"Thank you fifth brother."

~~
"It's not difficult to meet Li Xia, as long as he is willing to show up. Today, when Yang Guo is out of the city, Li Xia will definitely be watching secretly. We may not be able to find him, but we can make him come to see us on his own initiative."

"Yes, on the road from Junmin Wanhu Mansion to Nancheng Gate, choose a place that he must be able to see?"

"Jinlou, you and my brother and sister don't bring guards, only the two of us go upstairs to prepare wine, he will understand that we have something to talk to him about."

"Fifth brother is not afraid that he will harm you?"

"Why are you afraid?"
