Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 23 Don’t leave, my brother-in-law is the chief envoy (please recommend and collect)

The next morning, Su Ran got up early with Xiang Ling's service after a full sleep.

Although the two of them didn't do anything that night, it can be seen from the smiling expression on the corner of Xiangling's mouth and the shy look that she was about to speak, that she was very satisfied in her heart.

Xiangling was abducted by human traffickers when she was very young. Since then, she has been beaten and scolded at every turn, hungry and full.

Although she had only met Su Ran in front of her for a short time, she knew that he was a very capable and trustworthy man, not to mention that he was very handsome.

Even though she was just his maid, Xiang Ling felt unprecedented warmth and peace of mind from him.

If you can stay with such a person and serve him all your life, your life will not be in vain. This is the truest thought in Xiang Ling's heart at this moment.

Looking at Su Ran who had just put on clothes in front of her, she was a little distracted for a moment.

Su Ran noticed something strange about her, waved his hand in front of her eyes and said, "What are you thinking about? Did you not sleep well last night?"

"No, if I tell you, I slept...sleep very well last night." Xiang Ling shook her head quickly and said crisply, "I just don't know if it disturbed my rest."

Su Ran smiled, did not continue the topic, and directly took her hand: "Let's go down with me to have breakfast. After breakfast, you can stay in the room while I go out to do some errands."

"Yes." Xiangling nodded obediently, "Everything is subject to Master's orders."

The breakfast at the inn was not bad. Su Ran ate two big meat buns and drank a bowl of red date and lotus seed porridge.

Xiangling, on the other hand, might not be able to let go, so she only ate a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, drank half a bowl of porridge, and then put down her chopsticks.

Watching her go upstairs, Su Ran explained to the shopkeeper at the counter, then turned and left the inn.

The sun outside is very good, and the streets are already full of people and traffic in the early morning.

At this time, spring has already entered Jinling City, and the trees on the roadside are already dotted with green on the gray-black branches.

Su Ran looked at the vibrant scenery of early spring, and the gloomy mood remaining on the Jiangxin Flower Boat last night was immediately swept away.

However, after a short walk, he found that this place was not as beautiful as he had imagined.

After walking for almost a mile, Su Ran unexpectedly saw a dozen beggars begging along the street. There were old and skinny old men with white beards and hair, as well as young children of seven or eight years old with yellow faces and skinny muscles.

This is Jinling City, the most prosperous place in the entire Daqing Dynasty.

However, there were so many beggars here, which surprised Su Ran.

Su Ran was about to go up and give them some scraps of silver that he had brought with him, but suddenly he heard angry curses not far away.

"You blind old thing, who asked you to block my way? I'll kick you lightly. If you don't get out of here, believe it or not, I will throw you into this river to feed the fish!"

Su Ran followed the prestige, and saw a middle-aged man in a silver embroidered robe and black water boots pointing at an old beggar in poor clothes and yelling at him.

The old beggar curled up and fell to the ground. It was obvious that the kick just now was severe.

The old beggar struggled to crawl to the side to get out of the middle of the road, but the pain was unbearable and his movements were slow.

Seeing this, the man raised his foot and was about to kick the old beggar again. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his shoulder, and then he flew backwards with a slight movement of his body.

The middle-aged man endured the severe pain that made his eyes flash and took a closer look, and saw a tall young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.This young man is naturally Su Ran who just left home not long ago.

Su Ran helped the old beggar up from the ground and handed him a piece of silver: "Old man, you should go elsewhere first. I will take care of it here."

When the old beggar saw this, his eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Thank you, strong man, you are a good person! You are a good person!" After saying that, he limped and walked away towards the distance with each step he turned back.

However, the middle-aged man also recovered at this time. After getting up from the ground, he smoothed his messy hair and cursed at Su Ran: "Boy, do you know who I am? How dare you meddle in my business? If you have the guts, don't run away here. In less than a quarter of an hour, I'll show you how powerful I am!"

When Su Ran heard what he said, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was just a kid from a rich family who was being beaten up for talking nonsense.

However, when he was about to leave, the other party announced his home address.

"Boy, even if you want to run away, it's too late. As long as there is no one who has appeared in Jinling, no one can escape from the clutches of He San! The chief envoy Zhang Jiexiu, Mr. Zhang, is my brother-in-law."

When Su Ran heard this, he became interested, and immediately decided not to leave, because he decided to meet Zhang Jiexiu, the chief envoy.

You must know that the position of chief envoy is a high-ranking official in the imperial court who is in charge of the administration and taxation of a province. If he goes further, he will either go to the capital and be promoted to a temple official, or he will serve as a governor in each province.

And my trip to the south of the Yangtze River is mainly to supervise the household department to raise money and food in the local area, and this errand can't avoid the chief envoy.

Su Ran had just arrived and couldn't find a place to start. At this time, someone came to the door. She was so sleepy that she hit the pillow.

Therefore, when he heard He San say that his brother-in-law was the chief envoy Zhang Jiexiu, he immediately started a fight with him.

"You said that your brother-in-law is the chief envoy, and I also said that I am the governor. I will wait for you here. I want to see what you can do to me. The universe is bright and the sun is shining. I still don't believe it. Where is the place for reasoning!”

As soon as He Sany heard this, and because he had been beaten before, he immediately became angry.

"You...you wait for me, and see how the Lord makes you kneel down and beg me, don't go, hum!" After finishing speaking, He San left without looking back.

As soon as He Sang left, the people who were watching the excitement immediately gathered around, urging Su Ran to leave.

It can be heard from their words that some of them know He San.

And He San said that Zhang Jiexiu, the chief envoy, was his brother-in-law, which also had a little shadow.

However, this brother-in-law is not genuine.

He San's sister was once the number one in Tianxiang Tower, but she quit after meeting Zhang Jiexiu.

However, due to her previous status, Zhang Jiexiu could not take her directly as his concubine, so he had to buy a house outside to accommodate her.

It is precisely for this reason that He San climbed up the big tree of Zhang Jiexiu, the chief envoy, through his sister.

After figuring this out, Su Ran couldn't help but become curious.

This He San should be 27 years old, and his sister must be at least thirty. At this age, she can still control a dignified chief minister. This method is really extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Su Ran couldn't help thinking about this woman for a while.
