Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 140 The First Visit to the Qin Mansion
After discussion,

Zhang Jinyu gave Dong Jiaoxi a personal guard badge, telling the two masters and apprentices that they could go to the military camp outside Dongcheng Pass at any time.

Then he said goodbye and left.

The two masters and apprentices stood outside the door, watching Hou Ye's disappearing figure, and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Zhenhong clenched his fist vigorously,
"Master, this is the only way for apprentices to do this. Both of us, master and apprentice, must teach the imperial army a lesson."

"Okay, during the Grand Competition, the Forbidden Army played against me. If the general of the Forbidden Army gets a point, it will be my fault."

Dong Zhongyuan reached out and touched the banknote in his arms vigorously, this solved his urgent need.

Otherwise, thinking that my mother-in-law has some lung diseases and has no money to treat them is also full of regret.

After Zhang Jinyu left, she didn't think about the two of them anymore, but went back to Youlai Inn, fed the rest of the guards, took the food box prepared by the shopkeeper, and was ready to go to the Qin Mansion.

After tidying up, let the old man go first, and then get up after drinking the last sip of soup.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, the shopkeeper returned the bank note.
"Shopkeeper, what does this mean?"

The shopkeeper was a little uneasy, and said embarrassingly there,

"Master Hou, you are the owner of our inn. This restaurant is owned by Mrs. Yang of the Hou Mansion. This little guy has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and his own owner doesn't even recognize him. Damn it."

Zhang Jinyu was stunned when she found out about this. She didn't expect Yang's action to be so fast. This restaurant opened as soon as it opened, which is considered to be a good way to make money. She took the bank note without saying anything, and patted the shopkeeper to lighten the warehouse. Encouragement.

"I didn't expect you to move so fast? How is the business?"

"Return, Lord Hou, everything here is ready-made. Let someone clean it. Next to it is the market place. You can buy all the things in the afternoon, and you can open the business after preparing the ingredients. This mutton was bought yesterday, and it was stewed overnight. of."

"Do well if you have nothing to do. You can directly show your boss. I believe there will be no one who doesn't dare to come. This Marquis still has something to do."

"Master Hou, go slowly, go slowly."

Zhang Jinyu led the crowd away without delay, the shopkeeper just watched from afar, and then went back to the inn, suddenly ran out from the backyard so many big men, helpers and shop assistants, all asking,
"Shopkeeper, did the master's man leave, and didn't let everyone see, you say you."

The burly guy is still complaining about the inauthenticity of the showcase, and he didn't come out to tell everyone, so he missed it. I heard that Luo Yunhou is a first-class hero. It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to see it.

The shopkeeper shouted with a dark face;
"Have you finished chopping the firewood, washed the vegetables, and dismantled the bones? Have you tidied up the rooms upstairs? Hurry up and go to work. If the reputation of our inn is ruined, the master will not kill you. go."

The shopkeeper's yelling made the guys feel ashamed, and hurried back to work, while Zhang Jinyu continued to walk southeast, and the Qin family's house was not far away. It's a restaurant where friends come and stay, and I've made a mental note, don't ask, it should be my own, good guy, don't ask about this business mind.

Qin Ye followed behind and also saw the restaurant, and praised it;
"Master Hou, this restaurant is not the same as the inn just now, is it? It was still tidying up yesterday, and it opened today. The owner behind it is also very powerful."

Zhang Jinyu could only cough to cover up,
"Maybe, isn't it opening a day earlier to make some money? There shouldn't be many restaurants in Nancheng."

"That's right. Most of the ordinary people live in Nancheng. Besides, a small Beijing official like me lives here. Most of Nancheng are teahouses and small restaurants. There are really no big inns and restaurants. Behind this My boss has a good eye."

After another street, there is a courtyard located on the north side of the street. Although it is a bit old and vicissitudes, it is quiet and comfortable. There is a big osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and the osmanthus fragrance can be smelled from far away.

Green bricks and blue tiles, it is a relatively spacious courtyard with a double entry. Of course, there is no tall and mighty stone lion in front of Xungui's gate. It is just the gatehouse of ordinary people, with red lacquer painted on it, which is more eye-catching.

Although Qin Ye is in charge of the Imperial Ministry of Industry, it is not easy to live in the capital. Even this small courtyard has exhausted most of Qin Ye's savings for several generations.

"The place where Uncle Yuqin lives is indeed a quiet place in the middle of a busy city."

As soon as Zhang Jinyu pulled the reins, he praised him endlessly before entering the hospital, and even changed his name to Uncle Qin. This thought became too obvious, and Qin Ye was also cheerful and didn't care, thinking that today's plan was too perfect Yes, although there are some turbulences on the road, but good things take time, and this is not the end.

"You don't need to praise Hou Ye too much. This is what the ancestors saved for generations. I never thought about it so much. It's just a place to sleep."

How could Zhang Jinyu let go of the chance to flatter her,

"Uncle Qin, it's not that I'm too proud, but you are too modest. People match things, and things match people. This place is suitable for uncle's temperament and family."

"Okay, okay, come on, Lord Hou, let's go in together."

"Okay, Uncle Qin please."

"Please,"

The two gave way to each other, Zhang Jinyu had no choice but to politely knock on the door, and heard a woman's voice coming from the Qin residence, accompanied by a rush of footsteps, and the sound of the bolt falling behind the red vermilion door, the door opened, and a person appeared. A middle-aged woman in a jacket.

"This son is,,, ah, the master is back."

The middle-aged woman took a look at Zhang Jinyu. She wanted to inquire, but when she saw her master beside her, she hurried out of the way.

"Thank you, Auntie."

It is not surprising that there are many people in the ceremony, Zhang Jinyu greeted directly, and Qin Ye also introduced there when he met;

"This is the nanny in charge of my family. She helped take care of Zhong Er and Ke Qing since they were young."

Only then did Zhang Jinyu realize that the middle-aged woman was not Qin Ye's concubine, but she was also a very important person, otherwise she would not have introduced it so solemnly.

Then the two entered the yard, Zhang Jinyu asked the guards to stay outside, and he brought only two guards to carry the old box and a box of rouge into the house.

Outside, the middle-aged woman arranged for the cook to take the guards to the side room to arrange the food, and warmed up the wine.

Zhang Jinyu came to the main house, sat down and drank some tea, the quaint house exuded an inexplicable aroma that was very pleasant to smell.

within the next appointment,

In a winter warm pavilion house,

"Girl, master took Luo Yunhou home,"

Ruizhu trotted all the way into the house, and shouted in surprise,
In the boudoir, a young woman with a graceful figure, fair complexion, dignified appearance, winking eyes, sitting quietly, with a bronze mirror in front of her reflecting her stunning face, was sipping rouge under the service of the pearl.

In the bronze mirror, this woman has the face of a sinking fish and a wild goose, the moon is ashamed and the flowers are luxuriant, the black silk is in a bun, the eyebrows are undrawn but charming, the lips are rouged and moist, the white walls are like jade, and the teeth are like snow on the clear cheeks.

"Where is the man?"

With a soft and boneless coquettish voice, Qin Keqing turned her beauty around and looked at Ruizhu's servant girl. In her shining beautiful eyes, there was curiosity and anticipation, and she could vaguely see the sultry ray. style.

During this period of time, I often heard my father talking about it, especially after my father told her his thoughts, Ke Qing knew that her best place to go was to marry Luo Yunhou, so she was naturally curious about this young Lord Hou.

Qin Keqing is only twenty-eight years old, and in her boudoir, it is inevitable that she will always fantasize about how heroic her husband is, and she will always have some expectations in her dreams.

"Girl, girl, Lord Hou is talking to the master in the flower hall of the main house, and the nanny is arranging the wine and dishes, and I think they want to have dinner here again."

Qin Keqing lowered her eyebrows and her eyes were pleasing to the eye, her face slowly turned rosy, and the faint rouge added to her complexion, said;
"Go, go and have a look with me."

Baozhu hurriedly got up and came over, grabbed the lady's graceful lotus arms, and said with a troubled face;
"Miss, you can't do it. Let's go like this. If the old man knows about it, what should we do?"

"Stupid girl, I'll just stand behind the curtain in the distance and watch the same thing,"

Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said softly.

Seeing this, Baozhu had no choice but to give up, Ruizhu was also by her side, and the three of them went together.

Qin Ye was also comforted by the old saying in the flower hall. He didn't expect Luo Yunhou to have such a side. Thinking of his own pair of children, although he was negligent in discipline on weekdays, on the issue of male and female defense, he told all the maids in the house. , especially when the daughter got older, she was not allowed to go out, so Qin Keqing could only hang out in the yard all day long, curious about the outside.

So this time Qin Keqing couldn't help but came to the outer hall, hid behind the screen, and secretly looked into the flower hall. A young and heroic man sat there and talked comfortably, and his father laughed from time to time, but he didn't say anything. something.

Zhang Jinyu also made up some jokes from his previous life, combined with Dawu's people and things, and made Qin Ye laugh constantly.

"Master Hou, where did you hear this? It's really funny."

"It's all folk gossip."

Suddenly, as if he had a feeling in his heart, he felt that someone was watching him from the dark. This was an intuition on the battlefield. After thinking about it, he looked around, but there was no one. He took a sip from the tea bowl and asked;
"Uncle Qin, I heard that Uncle has a son, Mr. Qin Zhong Xiaolang, why haven't I seen him, I'm still sleeping late."

Qin Ye waved his hand,

"How can it be? If I don't hit him while sleeping at this point, it's not the age of enlightenment. I found a private school outside, let him go to school first, and then find a way to study further."

"Reading is good. Only by reading can you be wise. The boss can see that he is a learned person. I will not be a master. If you are half-learned, you will not be able to write articles."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw the curtain on the opposite side move. Zhang Jinyu couldn't help but take another look, and saw a figure flicker behind half of the curtain in Qiushui.

Taking a closer look, I happened to meet a pair of passionate, charming, charming and soft eyes, and suddenly seemed to be half frightened. These eyes looked surprised, reluctant, and unbelievable. The curtain swayed helplessly there.
