Chapter 828 Extra Story: A gentleman is like the wind
Among the private schools in the town, a new teacher has arrived. I heard that even the owner of the private school, Mr. Jie Yuanzhou, the only one in the town, praised the new teacher for his excellent knowledge. However, as soon as the news came out, I was most excited.
However, it is not the students in private schools, but the matchmakers in the town and families with unmarried girls at home.
Just because the teacher claimed to be in his thirties, but he looked like he was in his twenties. He always had a gentle smile when he saw people, and he was handsome and handsome. He was probably the best-looking person in this town.
He is a man, even the older grandmothers in the town said so, let alone those young daughters in the harem.
It's just that the origin of the teacher seems a bit mysterious. Everyone only knows his surname is Liu, so they call him Mr. Liu. More than a month ago, I went to this somewhat remote Nanxun town and bought a yard in the town. The yard is not big, but
It is very exquisite. There are four servants around it. The clothes are quite elegant in this town of Nanxun. I guess the family background is not too bad.
He has a handsome appearance and a good family background. Even if he is a little mysterious, it cannot stop him from winning the favor of many women. Nanxun Town is in the north of Xia Kingdom, close to the border, next to Cangnan. Further north from Cangnan is Yelang
Country. Because of this geographical location, the women in Nanxun Town have the virtuous and gentle temperament of the Xia Country women, and also have a bit of bold temperament. If they like her, they will not be secretive.
Mr. Liu didn't know about it when he first came to Nanxun Town. Later, when he was walking on the street with nothing to do, a woman would always come up to chat with him. Mr. Liu has a good temper and always welcomes anyone who comes.
I stopped and chatted with them for a few words. Later, the women became more courageous and tried every means to stuff Mr. Liu with something, from brocade handkerchiefs to sachets, and some even wore hydrangeas to attract marriage.
In the name of waiting for two days in the embroidery building, I waited until Mr. Liu passed by, then hurriedly ran down, stuffed the hydrangea into Mr. Liu's hand, and ran away.
The woman's family insisted on letting Mr. Liu take their daughter. Later, Mr. Liu didn't know what method he used to make the family give up such an idea. However, Mr. Liu gradually became less and less popular when he went out. Fortunately, the private school was
It's behind the yard, so you don't have to go too far.
Mr. Liu didn't go out, and the daughter in the town was heartbroken. I just had to go to the mountain if it wasn't right. There was always a way. Within a few days, a matchmaker took the portrait and the birth date and rang the bell.
The door to Mr. Liu's yard.
The waiter had never had such experience before, so he let the matchmaker in.
Mr. Liu was lying on a chair in the courtyard reading a book. He was startled when he saw the exaggerated make-up on the matchmaker's face, then stood up and said, "What does this lady want to do for you?"
The matchmaker looked up and down at the man in front of her who had caused a lot of sensation recently. Seeing how polite he was, she couldn't help but pick up the embroidered handkerchief and cover her mouth with a smile: "Mr. Liu is very happy."
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face: "Great joy? I wonder where this joy comes from?"
When the matchmaker heard this, she laughed again. Mr. Liu was handsome and handsome, but he was a little dazed: "The most beautiful girl in our town asked me to come and propose marriage. The gentleman said, wouldn't this be a great joy?"
?”
Mr. Liu was startled, his face paused slightly, and then he quickly said: "Madam, please don't hide it from me. I also have a wife in my family, but I can only live up to the good intentions of the unnamed young lady."
"You've got a wife?" The matchmaker was a little stunned, staring at Liu Yinfeng with her mouth wide open, and then said for a long time: "But you clearly came to Nanxun Town alone? Even the servants you waited for were four men.
, where did you get your wife?"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he lowered his head and smiled: "I have a wife at home, but I don't dare to deceive each other."
As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, the two servants behind him seemed stunned. They looked at each other in shock, but they quickly lowered their heads.
The matchmaker saw the expressions of the two people clearly, and the smile on her face was a little stiff, and she quickly said: "Oh, if that's the case, then I won't bother you any more."
After saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye and left. After the matchmaker left, the waiter standing behind Mr. Liu opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you guys know that the young master has a wife?"
Mr. Liu's face turned pale, and he glanced at the two of them lightly, which made them shiver involuntarily, as if being blown by an extremely cold wind, and they did not dare to say anything more.
"If I let such an unknown person in again, you don't have to follow me." Mr. Liu said calmly.
Just as he was talking, he heard a "squeak" and the courtyard door was opened again. The three people in the courtyard raised their eyes to look at the courtyard door and breathed a sigh of relief. One of the four attendants came in.
Mr. Liu turned around and looked at the attendant who came in, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Shanglu, have you received any news?"
Shang Lu nodded quickly and responded: "There is news from Jincheng that Your Majesty and the Empress will hold a coronation ceremony and enthronement ceremony on November 17th."
Hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "November 17th will be two days later. It's good. Everything is fine with her, so I feel relieved."
Everyone was silent. Shang Lu pondered for a moment before continuing: "Last night, another group of horses came from the direction of Yelang Kingdom and passed through the ravine outside Nanxun Town. The people transporting the horses looked at
He moves well and swiftly, unlike an ordinary businessman. We have been here in Nanxun Town for less than a month, and this is already the sixth time."
"How many horses will be touched this time?" Mr. Liu nodded slightly and asked softly.
Phytolacca hurriedly responded: "More than a hundred horses, this time it is slightly less than the previous times..."
Mr. Liu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Six or seven times a month, more than a hundred or two hundred horses at a time. Although it seems to be a small number each time, the number is almost one or two thousand a month. Yelang Kingdom is here
The number of war horses that are in their prime and capable of marching and fighting is only between 50,000 and 60,000. If it lasts for half a year to a year, this number will be extremely shocking. Cangjue Qingsu may not even know that the superiority of his war horses, which he is proud of, actually
It's quietly disappearing."
Shang Lu nodded, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Sir, do you think there will be a war soon?"
Mr. Liu just sighed softly, with fatigue in his voice: "Yes, I'm afraid things are going to change."
"Great." The person behind Mr. Liu couldn't help but laugh: "Yelang Kingdom has been very arrogant in recent years. It has quietly invaded our border areas overtly and covertly, but has found hundreds of excuses to explain it. The people in the border areas can't bear it.
If there is going to be a war, I hope to defeat the entire Yelang Kingdom soon and make them bow their heads, so that they will not dare to do it again."
Mr. Liu shook his head, with a bit of worry in his eyes: "How can it be that easy? I have fought against Cangjue Qingsu, he is an extremely cunning person, and the Yelang Kingdom has a strong army and is brave and good at fighting. If
If we go head-to-head, we will definitely suffer losses. In addition, in our court, the veteran generals no longer lead troops. The new rising stars are nothing more than General Zhao and Wu Zhuangyuan Sun Bingzhi. However, Zhao Yingjie has had a long time of combat experience, but Sun Bingzhi is really
They have never participated in actual combat. If the two of them really lead the army to conquer Yelang Kingdom, they may not be able to please them."
As soon as these words were said, everyone's face dropped. They believed what their master said: "What should we do?"
The attendant behind him blinked and rolled his eyes, but then he laughed: "Young master, I don't believe that the young master will just stand by and watch. Although the young master said that he would no longer care about the affairs of the court and left simply, he chose such a young master.
Town. The young master didn’t understand why before, but now he knows that this place is close to Yelang Kingdom. If there is any war, he can be informed of it immediately. Since the young master chose this place, he also specially sent merchants to keep an eye on it.
The movement at the border must be more than just a look."
When Mr. Liu heard this, he was stunned and pondered for a long time, but did not say anything. He only said lightly: "The tea is cold. Go and make me a cup of hot tea."
With that said, he turned around and entered the house.
Shang Lu raised his hand and patted the head of the attendant who spoke before, shook his head and said: "Hu Hu, don't talk nonsense in the future."
Amber looked confused, raised her hand and touched her head, and asked blankly: "Did I say something wrong?"
Shang Lu shook his head, raised his head and looked at the door of the room, with a bit of contemplation on his face: "It's just because I didn't say anything wrong, that's why I was wrong."
When Amber heard what Shangluca said, she didn't understand even more. She raised her eyes and looked at Shangluca, but Shangluca had already entered the room. Amber turned around again and looked at Chang Shan who was covering his mouth and smiling: "I
Why are you becoming more and more confused? Chang Shan, do you understand?"
Chang Shan shook his head and followed him into the house, saying at the same time: "Go and make tea for the young master."
Amber curled her lips and responded in a low voice: "Oh." Then she went to the kitchen silently.
Not long after, the door to the courtyard was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man came in. The man's face was hurried, his eyes swept across the courtyard, and he quickly entered the inner room.
When Mr. Liu saw him coming in, he put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Uncle Qin, what happened in such a hurry?"
The man named Uncle Qin nodded and said hurriedly: "I just received the news that the Seventh Prince is dead."
"Dead?" Mr. Liu was startled, his face a little pale, "How did he die? But His Majesty ordered him to be executed?"
Uncle Qin shook his head: "It was the seventh princess who drowned in the river outside Jincheng. After the seventh prince received the news, he bit his tongue and committed suicide in prison. Your Majesty arrived with the imperial doctor and tried his best to save her, but he could not save her."
After hearing this, Mr. Liu slowly closed his eyes. The smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit bitter. After a long time, he choked and murmured: "Okay, this is probably the best way back for him. You all should go first."
Step back and let me be quiet."
Uncle Qin responded and retreated. As soon as he left, he raised his eyes to Shanglu and Chang Shan and said, "There is one more thing I haven't told you just now. I want to ask you what's going on."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, looking at Uncle Qin with doubts in their eyes.
Uncle Qin pulled the two of them to the corner of the yard and lowered his voice: "When I came back just now, I heard someone on the street saying that our young master has a habit of cutting off his sleeves. What's going on?" (To be continued)
