Water Margin people

Chapter 161
"My brother has nothing to say when he invites Hua Rong, but I have to ask my younger sister about it."

Hua Rong said with a smile, although he knew that the younger sister would definitely agree, but he still had to be more reserved.

"Then trouble Hua Zhizhai."

Sun Lei said with a smile, he can't force his way into the back hall, he rushed to the embroidery building to ask.

"I don't know if Huazhizhai is willing to go together. I heard that the Tai'an Temple Fair is a grand event in Shandong!"

Sun Lei invited Huarong again.

"Brother, forgive me, but I can't leave as a Zhizhai."

Hua Rong said apologetically that, as a knowledgeable villager, he needs to stay in the village for a long time, intimidating the surrounding hills and protecting one side.

"Well, that's really a pity."

Sun Lei heard the same reasoning. Although Zhizhai is not a high-ranking official, he still has responsibilities, and it is impossible to leave everything to go to the temple fair.

"Brother invites..."

Li Kui wanted to yell when he heard this, but fortunately Jiao Ting reacted quickly and slapped Li Kui on the back of the head, stopping Li Kui's nonsense, which was what Sun Lei emphasized.

After drinking until dark, Hua Rong arranged for everyone to rest before returning to the back hall.

"Little sister, what are you hiding from? You are so bold when eavesdropping!"

Hua Rong drank the tea brought by his wife, looked at the younger sister who was sitting aside and bowed her head, not daring to look at her.

"What are you talking about, my little girl admires heroes."

Huarong's wife said with a smile.

"My brother said that he came here this time to invite my younger sister to visit the temple fair in Tai'an Prefecture at the end of the month."

Hua Rong took a sip of tea and said.

"Tai'an Temple Fair? On March 28, the birthday of Emperor Tianqi?"

Huarong's wife realized that this temple fair was a prosperous one in Shandong.

"Yes, during this period of time, many people on Jingdong East Road have passed by our Qingfeng Town, and they are going to catch up with this conference."

Hua Rong nodded, and most of the passing merchants in Qingfeng Town went to Tai'an Prefecture during this time.

"It's all...all...it's all up to my brother!"

Huachan blushed and stammered.

"Brother is in charge? How can brother be in charge of this matter? It depends on you whether you want to go or not."

Hua Rong shook his head, Sun Lei came to invite him formally and politely, not forcing him, he naturally wanted to know what his sister wanted.

"This temple fair in Tai'an Prefecture is a grand event in Shandong. If you don't want to see how it works, my younger sister will definitely go. Seeing that Sun Lei, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, is also a handsome young man and a gentleman, I feel relieved to go."

Hua Rong's wife had known the younger sister's thoughts for a long time, seeing that the younger sister was embarrassed at this time, she smiled and helped her out.

"Then it's settled, I will repay my brother tomorrow!"

Seeing the younger sister's shy appearance, Hua Rong stopped joking and said with a smile.

"Master Zhizhai, there is an urgent letter from the prefect!"

Just as Hua Rong got up and was about to go back to his room to rest, a village soldier suddenly came to deliver a letter.

"The magistrate?"

Hua Rong frowned but still accepted the letter. He and Murong Yanda had very different official positions, and they had never exchanged letters. They usually came by order.

"Let me send things to Tai'an Prefecture? Tomorrow Huang Xin will take over from me to guard Qingfeng Town for a period of time."

After reading the letter, Huarong looked puzzled.

"Officer, have you forgotten, the Murong family's ancestral home is Tai'an Prefecture, and it will be Tianqi's birthday soon, and the Murong family will definitely hold a sacrifice."

Huarong's wife said.

"I see!"

Huarong suddenly realized that the Murong family is not simple, the noble concubine Murong is now in favor, the Murong family is unique, and the Murong family naturally has to show their face in such a grand event in Tai'an Prefecture.As the prefect of Qingzhou, Murong Yanda couldn't leave Qingzhou without authorization, but he must send some things home.

"It's strange, why do so many people under the magistrate's sect ask me to give something?"

Hua Rong put away the letter and frowned and said, Murong Yanda is the prefect of Qingzhou, and there are generals like Qin Ming and Huang Xin under his command, so why let him send things.

"It should be because they are afraid of attracting people's attention. The governor and the capital supervisor are both high-ranking officials. If they bring a lot of property to the home of the prefect of Murong, it will not be good to spread the word."

Hua Rong's wife said, although Hua Rong is a Zhizhai, but he is not a real official, he can only be regarded as a small official under the Qingzhou government, this status is very inconspicuous.

"That's good too. Brother Sun and my younger sister are going to Tai'an Prefecture, so let's go together. My younger sister is timid, so you, my brother, have to give her courage."

Huarong's wife spoke again.

"Well, my brother still intends to invite me to go to Tai'an Prefecture today. You also pack up. We will set off for Tai'an Prefecture together tomorrow. Don't you always want to go to the temple fair and burn incense?"

Hua Rong nodded and said, this sudden order gave him an excuse to leave Qingfeng Town.

The next day, Huarong explained the matter early in the morning.

"Isn't this just right, but we have to avoid Huang Xin when he comes!"

Sun Lei laughed and said, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, but it's good that Hua Rong can go.

"Big brother goes a few steps first, and younger brother will come later!"

Hua Rong clasped his fists and said, Sun Lei is now a well-known bandit in Shandong, it's really not good to see Huang Xin at this time.

"Brother, don't be afraid of that yellow letter. With my iron bull here, I will chop him with an axe!"

When Li Kui heard that Sun Lei wanted to give way, he immediately became angry. He was still an old man since he went to Liangshan, and he couldn't beat Sun Lei, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Tang Bin, and Jiao Ting.

Sanruan is very good at water, but he is a landlubber, he needs a boat to get in and out of the water, and he dare not provoke him, otherwise he will be destroyed if he is thrown into the water that day.

Although Shi Qian, Zhu Gui, and Zhu Fu are average in martial arts, they all have their own abilities. Shi Qian flies over the roof, and Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu are in charge of many hotels outside the cottage.

From Li Kui's point of view, if he wanted to make a name for himself in Liangshanbo, he had to show off his ability as an iron bull. Now that the yellow letter is coming, he just went to hack it, so don't let everyone look down on him as an iron bull.

"It's not the right time yet. We are in Qingfengzhai. The conflict with Huang Xin will harm Huazhizhai. We should go to Caozheng's shop to drink first."

Sun Lei shook his head, Li Kui probably could have a [-]-[-] match with Huang Xin, Huang Xin has a big voice but his martial arts skills are ordinary, Li Kui is reckless and ferocious even though he is a farmer, and his best skill is to beat half a bucket of water generals.

"It's because my brother won't let me fight, it's not that I don't want to fight, and it's not that I can't fight!"

Li Kui immediately yelled, as if he had made a great contribution, making everyone dumbfounded.

"I didn't let you call. Let's go first. It won't be good if Huang Xin comes later."

Sun Lei cupped his fists at Huarong and said, staying here with his current status means that Huarong is being wronged. If he is really hit by Huarong, he will either betray his trust and betray himself, or dereliction of duty and abandon his official position. It's a good thing.

"Thank you brother!"

Hua Rong clasped his fists gratefully at Sun Lei and said, it would be really difficult to meet him, now that Qingfeng Town is under his jurisdiction, it is also comfortable and happy to control Qingfeng Village by himself, he is not like Liu Gao used to be Generally always want to leave.

"Small matter, we are waiting in Cao Zheng's store!"

Sun Lei shook his head, smiled and left with everyone.
