"Brother Daniel, open the door! The food is here!!"
In the backyard of Zijinmen, a tall and dark young man yelled, put down the cart in his hand, picked up the sweat towel around his neck and wiped the sweat on his head, looking like he was out of breath, no one could tell
, this sweat... is fake... this tiredness... is also fake...
"Shh...!! Keep your voice down! There are distinguished guests in the house today, don't shout so loudly that I will be scolded!" Niu Jiashen opened the backyard door and slowly walked out, looking at the vegetables in the car, counting the quantities and taking them.
I jotted it down...
"Remember it and see if it's correct."
The young man took the notebook and looked at it, then nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Daniu's paintings are becoming more and more vivid. You can tell what it is at a glance! The number is correct!"
Why do you want to talk about paintings when looking at a small book?
Because there were not many literate people in the past, and most of the vegetable farmers who delivered vegetables could not read, the government simply found someone who could draw well. He would draw an onion in a notebook and write a one at the end. This is
A bunch of green onions, and then draw a cabbage and write "ten" behind it. This is ten cabbages, and so on, using the painting as evidence, one knot per month...
Zi Nian, through some connections, became one of the many vegetable farmers who deliver vegetables to Zijinmen...
This method of buying through purchases was also common at the time. After all, who wouldn’t want to find a big family to deliver food on time every month and have a stable living?
But what they don't know is...
This young man with the pseudonym Wang Wu not only bribed the purchaser, but also bribed the vegetable farmer who had previously delivered the vegetables. He gave the other party an amount that was difficult to refuse without appearing too abrupt, and sold the "business" to him.
I came here and got acquainted with a small purchaser from Zijinmen, Niu Da, through his recommendation.
In addition, "Wang Wu" seems to be much more generous than other vegetable farmers, and he will also give more benefits to the cattle during the holidays. Although they are just vegetables grown in the ground, this is very important for a person who is already struggling to survive in the cracks.
For a small purchaser, I would also feel that Wang Wu is very smart... and they will become more and more familiar with him...
"Hey? Brother Daniu? What kind of distinguished guest is coming to our house? Why are you so nervous? You don't even dare to breathe?"
Zinian's hands were already holding the cart, but he pretended to have just remembered it, and asked intentionally or unintentionally...
When Daniel heard this, he was also happy. He put away his notebook and replied bluntly: "You think too highly of your brother Daniel. I am just a servant of the kitchen. I don't know as much as other maids."
Well, who is it specifically...I don’t know, but I just know that he is a distinguished guest. No, let’s all be quiet. We also bought some more vegetables and came back. I guess we are waiting for a big banquet in the evening!"
"Good guy... we didn't have so many rules in the past. I guess the person who came back here has a lot of background... Brother Daniu, please be more alert and don't cause any trouble..."
"Don't worry, I haven't spent all these years hanging around here in vain. Go back quickly and don't keep your guests waiting..."
Guests...
Jiang Nan's name for his wife...
And the person pretending to be Zi Niantang's guest is none other than Li Huai, the captain of the Women's Guards who was trained by Lingyue...
"That idiot of mine won't be in a hurry. She cares more about me than taking care of me all day long. Then I'm leaving, Brother Daniu!" Zinian watched Daniu wave his hand towards him and smiled.
In response, I lifted the handlebars and pushed an empty cart towards home...
…………
………………
"There's something going on. Zijinmen said that a distinguished guest has arrived. Everyone in the house is afraid to breathe. I guess the identity of this distinguished guest is not simple. Should we tell the "teacher"?"
When Zi Nian returned home, he locked the door tightly and told Li Huai what he had heard and seen today...
When Li Huai heard this, he also frowned and nodded slightly. The order they received was to report any troubles. So today's intelligence was obviously more than just troubles, so Li Huai stood up without saying a word.
He stood up and straightened his clothes, then picked up a bamboo basket and walked towards the market...
If Yan Bing were here... when she saw the next scene, she would probably have an epileptic fit of laughter...
The dignified former commander of the Black Brocade Guards, Zeng Ke... has now transformed into a butcher selling meat on the street... The neatness with which he cuts the meat combined with the murderous look in his eyebrows is simply not a good fit...
…
As an aside, the pigs he raised didn’t even dare to bark when they saw him... They were all as quiet as ice... They were better behaved than dogs...
"Brother Zhang, cut two kilograms of meat! The guy at home said he was the guest of honor, but he wouldn't even ask. I don't know what kind of madness he got..." Li Huai handed over two pieces of silver with a distressed look on his face.
, and Zeng Ke also smiled, took the silver, weighed it on the small scale, and immediately cut off a large piece of tenderloin and handed it over...
"Don't worry, brother and sister, I only have the extra portion, and there will never be a difference. You can take this meat, and the extra money will be used as brother's drink money. I will join in the fun tonight!"
"That's a good relationship! Brother Zhang, look back at my house and don't tell him to drink too much. I'll go back first!"
One to buy, one to sell.
Others can't tell anything wrong...
But all the content to be conveyed has been explained...
Zijinmen holds a banquet in the evening to meet "distinguished guests"!
You guys are waiting at home! Let’s meet and talk in detail!
Looking at Li Huai's retreating back, Zeng Ke smiled and hummed a ditty, as if he was very happy because he could drink at night. Everything seemed so natural, even when he often came next to him
The vendors who set up the stalls all wanted to have a drink, but Zeng Ke dismissed him on the grounds that he was not a member of the family and could not take people there...
In the busy city...
Who would notice such a perfectly common sight?
Hidden away in the city, as a former "number one spy leader in the country", his skills in hiding his identity and his command of speaking standards have already reached the level of perfection. How can the team he personally led and trained be an ordinary small country?
Comparable to...
Before the curfew, Zeng Ke carried half a kilogram of bacon and a pot of turbid wine and happily walked towards the crop fields outside the city. He hummed another tune and knocked on Zi Nian's door...
"Brother Zhang really kept his promise and came as promised. Come on, come on, my cousin has already cooked a few dishes and is just waiting for the eldest brother to have a drink with us!"
Keep the door open
Light up
The expressions of the two people suddenly changed...
"Teacher, this banquet is quite noisy, but it is extremely secretive. Even most of the servants in the mansion don't know who the visitor is. I think... we need to go find out!"
Zinian lowered his voice and expressed his thoughts.
Zeng Ke also pondered for a moment before giving instructions... Bayi Chinese Website
"Go and call Yuwen and Zuiqing over. It's time to eat, drink, and be more lively. Teacher, I... will go to the tunnel by myself..."
