Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 213 The Qin Mansion Discusses Marriage
Beijing,

South City,

The first thing Zhang Jinyu did when he came to Nancheng was to go to Youlai Restaurant to pick up wine, vegetables and meat. When the shopkeeper saw that it was Lord Hou who came here, he was also well-versed. Don't ask, he just ordered the kitchen to prepare the food.

The shopkeeper also greeted with a smile;
"Boss, why do you think of coming here today?"

Zhang Jinyu sat at the door and waited as usual, seeing that the property in the house is so prosperous, the shopkeeper must be a good manager, and replied,

"Passing by, I can't forget the taste of Northwest."

"As long as Master Hou likes it."

As he spoke, his movements were not slow, he took a pot of hot tea, and immediately poured a bowl of tea and handed it over.

Zhang Jinyu took the tea and asked;

"The shopkeeper asks you something, has the boss of the Qin family ever come to the restaurant to eat?"

The shopkeeper knew that the boss Hou Ye asked was naturally Qin Ye, but since he didn't want money, there were very few of them.

"Back to Lord Hou, since the restaurant does not require money, the number of visits by the boss is very few."

Zhang Jinyu was also taken aback when he heard the words, and he also knew that his father-in-law had such a temper that he didn't even want to take advantage of it, so he was respected.

After thinking about it, it doesn't work, the guards left behind also have a lot of food, and after such a long time, they need a lot of money, and besides, such in-laws are really rare, if they were replaced by themselves, they would have to take more and eat more.

"In this way, you deliver meals to your door every day, get some more for the guards of the Marquis, and bring some for the boss by the way. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I understand, don't worry about the food in the Qin Mansion, the restaurant will take care of it."

The big shopkeeper stood there and replied with a big bag.

Zhang Jinyu felt more and more that this person was a talent, and he didn't know where to find it. Such an expert is rare, with such sharp eyesight.

While Zhang Jinyu was sitting there drinking some tea and waiting.

suddenly,

A group of people came in from the door,

All of them are tall and tall, with big arms and round bellies, and they are not easy to get along with at first glance.

The people who entered the restaurant were not polite and sat down straight, occupying several tables. Before the people behind had finished entering, one person shouted;
"Shopkeeper, serve up your good wine and dishes, and two of the roasted mutton, so hurry up and carry it to me."

Before the words were finished, a fat man walked in arrogantly, his posture was a bit like that of a green forest hero.

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, and said;
"Okay, guest officer, sit here first, I will bring you a pot of hot tea to warm up, and then wait a while, there is one person in front, it will be ready soon."

Such an explanation is also quite reasonable, but who knows that the fat man in the head is cursing there;

"You son of a bitch, let me wait. If you do this, serve me the food from the person in front of me. Do you know who I am? I am Feng Jiukui, the governor of Yong'an. No one in the northwest knows me."

As soon as this word comes out,
Just attracted Zhang Jinyu's attention, no matter who you are.

"Fatty man, you also said that it's in the northwest, and this is the capital city. It's right to put your belly down and tuck your tail in, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."

Zhang Jinyu wasn't angry either, and gave a warning directly, but Feng Jiukui was beaten in Chunlou before and was almost burned to death, and now he has gone to the Ministry of War to report on his work, and today he is leaving for Yong'an. Feng Wei came here on purpose to have a King's meal, but was brought up again unexpectedly, and he was also furious.

"It's brewed, you are courting death."

As soon as these words came out, the burly men behind Feng Jiukui stood up with unfriendly expressions, while Zhang Jinyu's personal guards surrounded them. As soon as the whistle sounded, the guards of the brigade who stayed outside poured into the restaurant.

Seeing so many people coming in, Feng Jiukui's face changed, knowing that he had encountered a problem, he immediately put on a flattering face and said;

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, next Yong'an Jiedu Envoy Feng Fatty, who are you?"

Zhang Jinyu said coldly;

"It's a good thing you didn't scold me, otherwise I'll let you die here. If you're in a good mood today, you won't see any blood. Brother, just teach me a lesson and throw it out for me. By the way, I will give them a long memory outside. Anyone who fights back will be chopped up." .”

"It's Lord Hou."

The guards behind him directly pulled out their scimitars, while the people in front went to arrest Feng Jiukui and the others. Fatty Feng's face was cloudy and he didn't know what to do. A guard next to Fatty Feng picked up a chair and threw it at him.

And the guard behind Zhang Jinyu directly stepped forward and cut off the opponent's hands, blood splashed all over the ground, and the big man was miserable again and again.

Feng Jiukui was so frightened that he kept silent.

I had no choice but to follow out obediently, followed by screams.

"Shopkeeper, clean up this place, bad luck."

"It's Lord Hou."

The big shopkeeper also led people to clean up quickly without fear, and his technique was skillful and calm. Zhang Jinyu also had doubts in his heart when he saw it, it was not easy.

After a while, the guard came to report,

"Master Hou, it's over."

"Well, let them go, no exception, the injured will be taken away."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The guards went out and threw people out, Feng Jiukui and others walked out with bruised noses and swollen faces, the injured ones were still wailing,
"Sir, what should I do?"

"Take someone to the clinic, and the others, hmph."

Feng Jiukui didn't even dare to say harsh words, he was much more cruel than the Jia family.

After a while, the restaurant prepared the food boxes, and the waiter and the kitchen helper brought them over. Seeing that there were still a lot, they called the guards to come in and carry them, and then encouraged the shopkeeper, eagerly going to Qin Mansion left.

And inside the capital city,
Hall of Mental Cultivation,
After the Emperor Wu arranged the affairs of the Imperial City Secretary, he began to think about how to get Luo Yunhou to go there willingly. Now that there is no war outside the pass, he must be able to stay in the pass for a long time, and Jiangnan still needs this kid Make great efforts.

If there is no way, I asked;

"Dai Quan, let me tell you how to reward Luo Yunhou. Jiangnan's affairs are not small, and it can only be done if he is willing to go."

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are many good places in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many places to play. Why don't you enjoy some estates and mansions."

For Dai Quan, there are no other rewards, and it is not as affordable as the silver from the land, but there is a shortage of silver outside the customs.

"Well, it's also a way. This matter is easy to handle. Let him go to see Lin Ruhai directly. Isn't it true that some salt merchants are disobedient and copied a few houses, and one of them will be given to Luo Yunhou, and the rest will be used for money, um , Dai Quan, the Imperial City Secretary in the palace chose someone to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Luo Yunhou to deal with this matter, and by the way, admonish him, in case the knife is used, let Luo Yunhou kill less."

Dai Quan was also taken aback when he heard the words, His Majesty was too straightforward, he was really angry, and he was going to use Jiangnan as a knife.

Thinking about the confidant in the palace, the prince of the Imperial City Department is watching, and Eunuch Yang will assist the household department to collect the owed money, so Eunuch Zhao is left alone, so it is him, so he replied;
"Report to Your Majesty, Zhao Si, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial City Si Yu Ma Si, is competent,"

Emperor Wu thought about this person, he is also an old man in the palace, and he knows the seriousness, it must be safer to see him, and the old palace in Jinling doesn't know what to do, suddenly he was a little upset, he endured it, and went said;
"Well, it's him. When the time comes, he will bring several hundreds of households from the Imperial City Division to go south with Luo Yunhou. When they arrive at Jinling, they will go to inspect the Jiangnan stays and see what the people guarding the old palace are doing. There may be fewer households, take a thousand with you, and use the Jinling Four Guards Guards if necessary, go there and investigate thoroughly, and I will find out, especially those who have eaten inside and outside, will be directly executed on the spot, and there is no need to report."

"It's Your Majesty, the slave is obeying the order and will explain it properly."

Dai Quan saw Emperor Wu's gloomy face, and knew that the incident in Jiangnan hurt the Holy One.

"Your Majesty, I remember that Luo Yunhou's marriage must be coming soon, should I wait?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Wu,
"Oh, I forgot about this matter, and you don't remind me, you old man. Go quickly to the Queen's and talk about this matter. You must go after you get married."

"Uh, it's Your Majesty."

Dai Quan didn't expect the emperor to react so strongly, so he was also careful with him.

Nancheng Zhang Jinyu arrived at the gate of the Qin residence in a hurry, and without hesitation when he dismounted, he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong."

"Come on, who is it?"

It turned out to be Madam Wu's voice, Zhang Jinyu said;
"it's me,"

Grandma Wu heard the voice familiar but didn't remember who it was. She lowered the latch before she came to lead the door and opened the door. She was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Luo Yunhou.

"It turned out to be uncle, come in quickly."

Zhang Jinyu came in with his personal guards. Niu Dazhuang, who stayed behind in the courtyard, was still working hard. When they saw Lord Hou coming, they immediately stood up and saluted Zhang Jinyu.
"See Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu stepped forward, patted several people, and said;

"Brothers have worked hard,"

Niu Dazhuang smiled honestly and replied;

"Master Hou, it's not hard work. Apart from eating, the rest of us practice in the courtyard for a while. At most, we escort the elders out. Madam hardly ever goes out. We take turns guarding the courtyard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jinyu immediately knew what was going on in the mansion, and he was full of admiration, so he took out a thousand taels of silver and handed it over without saying a word.

"Master Hou, it's what a lowly job should do, isn't it?"

When Niu Dazhuang saw so much money, he panicked and dared not take it.

Zhang Jinyu stuffed it directly, and said;
"Take it, one hundred and two points per person, one is to reward you, the second is the military salary and additional expenses, and the third is the silver reward for this big competition. I won the first army in the world outside the pass, and I should be rewarded."

"Thank you, Lord."

Niu Dazhuang put it away without refusing, and looked at himself more firmly.

at this time,

Qin Ye, who received the letter, also came out of the flower hall, and he was also relieved to see Zhang Jinyu;

"The virtuous son-in-law came here, and he didn't inform the old man in advance."

"Father-in-law, don't blame me, my son-in-law is reckless. I came here today to discuss the date of the marriage, and I have to discuss a better life with my father-in-law."

Zhang Jinyu also changed his mind, and directly talked about the marriage, thinking of Qin Keqing was also full of thoughts.

"Into the house, in the house."

Zhang Jinyu supported Qin Ye, and walked into the flower hall of the main hall. Not far away, Qin Keqing, who was dressed in plain clothes, looked over here from the corner of the room, her big eyes were also full of smiles.

Zhang Jinyu entered the flower hall, sat down first and second, and had her maid serve tea and water. After the two had a sip of tea, Qin Ye asked;
"My son-in-law, if you have any thoughts or taboos, and if there are any rules in the Hou's mansion, you might as well talk about it."

How did Zhang Jinyu know what rules and taboos were there, but after asking this question, she tried her best to recall the rules outside the customs, but after thinking about it, there were no rules, but there were many rules from the grassland.

I really can't but reply;

"Father-in-law, let's follow the rules of the capital. There are no rules where fish and dragons are mixed outside the pass, but there are many rules in the grassland, so let's not mention it."

After Qin Ye heard this, he thought about it, but he doesn't need to grow up for a small family. Since the nearest good day is only nine days left, is he in a hurry, so he asked;
"My son-in-law, the nearest good day is the ninth day. Should everything be kept simple or big."

"Naturally yes"
