After a while, the couple walked to the street where Chang Jizu was. It was already off work time, and many generals were riding or walking home. Some of them who knew Old Tang even greeted him with a smile. Tang Bohe responded while
They asked someone to inquire about the location of Chang Jizu's mansion. The location of the mansion was quickly found out. They walked to the gate and felt that Chang Jizu was back, so they stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Tang Bohe just clicked on the door three times, and the middle door opened with a creak. But it was only opened a small crack, and a figure flashed in the shadow cast by the setting sun on the door. The door may have seen the door.
There were only a man and a woman who looked like a couple outside, and they were not acquaintances, so the middle door was only partially opened, not fully opened. Then the doorman said: "This is the residence of the founding father. Who are you looking for?"
Although the servant's voice did not have any domineering or impatient tone, and his expression was quite kind, Tang Bohe and Mo Shi still appreciated his voice-over: The family status here is very high. If there is nothing important,
Ordinary people should not come and disturb us casually.
Mrs. Mo looked at the cotton clothes on the servants across from her, and then on the linen clothes on her own husband and wife, and immediately had a deeper understanding of the 'seventh grade official of the prime minister's family'.
But it happened that they had something very important to do. Mr. Mo motioned to Old Tang, and Old Tang stepped forward and said unnaturally under the pressure of the concierge's strong aura: "Brother, we have something very important to do."
Tell Mr. Chang, please inform me."
Although this concierge is young, he is very good at observing people's emotions, otherwise he would definitely not be sent as a concierge. He could tell that Tang Bohe must have something important, and it seemed to be related to the Chang family. If he was usually
I must have gone in and reported it, but today...
He said: "Unfortunately, my master is not here today, staying overnight in the military camp, and will not come back to live here in the next few days until the first day of next month. If something happens to you two, why don't you come back on the second day of next month?"
Tang Bohe was shocked. He had not expected such a situation before he came out! He turned back to look at his wife Mo. Mo stepped forward, bowed to this disciple, and said: "This little brother, we are really
There is something very important to inform the master of your mansion, so please do so."
The disciple said in embarrassment: "Sister, my master is really not here, so I can't inform you. How about you leave your name and tell me what happened, and I will visit you when my master comes back?"
Tang Bohe felt that he had heard the biggest cold joke in his life: a gatekeeper of the Duke's mansion told him that the eldest son of the Duke of Guo would visit them in the future. If the old Tang couple hadn't thought that the gatekeeper's expression did not look like a joke, they would have thought that
You're playing tricks on them.
But regardless of whether Chang Jizu was really absent or not, since the disciples said so, they could only believe it. Mo stopped Tang Bohe and tried to say, "Brother, can you go to the military camp to inform us? Our matter is very urgent, and
If your life is at stake, say goodbye and leave.
On the way back from the Chang family's 'little mansion', it was already dark, and the road was full of hurried pedestrians.
As Tang Bohe walked, he said to Mr. Mo: "Why don't you let me finish what I'm saying?"
Mo said angrily: "How can I not know what you are going to say? People have already said that, how can you go to the military camp to find Young Master Chang? What's the use of saying it again?"
Tang Bohe said dejectedly: "Then what should we do now?"
Mrs. Mo was also at a loss: "Let's go back first and then talk about it."
The two returned to the store. It was a busy time of the day in the restaurant. The lobby on the first floor was crowded with people, and the private rooms on the second floor also had their own guests. Tang Bohe and his wife Mo Shi put their worries aside for the time being.
Hurry forward to entertain the guests.
When it was almost curfew and almost everyone had left, Tang Bohe handed over the remaining finishing work to the waiter, took Mo to a secluded place, and said with a sad face: "What else can we do now? Is the only thing left to pray for?
Buddha bless Your Highness the Third Prince?"
Mrs. Mo had been thinking about it for a long time, and then said: "We can only go to Chang's Mansion on Hongwu Street tomorrow morning. This is the last resort. Even if we are rejected, it will only take a few more steps;
If he is really interviewed, the news will finally be sent out, and we don’t have to worry anymore."
Tang Bohe thought for a while and couldn't think of any other reliable method, so he could only nod in agreement.
After Tang Bohe and his wife left, Zhao Xing, the young caretaker of the Chang family's "small mansion" in the north of the city, was still mumbling, even when he returned to the concierge, because he felt that Tang Bohe and his wife did have something important to say, and he was quite worried about it.
I was uneasy and kept thinking about it.
At this moment, another older janitor woke up from his sleep. The janitor who slept during working hours was called Chang An, and he was a servant of the Chang family. His father had also made many meritorious deeds when he followed Chang Yuchun in the war. It turned out that he was
A man with a thousand hereditary households was granted a title; but later he made a big mistake and was almost executed, but Chang Mao saved his life. But his official position was definitely gone, and he had no future plans, so Chang Mao took his family in.
Because of his father's meritorious deeds, although Chang An is a servant, his life is better than that of ordinary landowners in the countryside. Normally, Chang's master doesn't ask him to work much for his father's sake, so he is very lazy. No,
His father lowered his face and asked someone to intercede to let him come to the small mansion in the north of the city to work as a disciple of the eldest son Chang Jizu, so as to build a good relationship with Chang Jizu. However, he secretly slept while the master's family was away and did not care about any business.
Zhao Xingzheng was muttering in his heart. When he saw that he was awake, he said to him: "Today, a couple came to see the eldest son and said they had something urgent. They didn't look like liars. Do you think we should send someone to the military camp to talk to the eldest son?
, or go back to the mansion and report to your wife."
Chang An said: "Haha, did they leave their names?" Seeing Zhao Xing shaking his head, he said disdainfully: "Even if there is an emergency, maybe he is a poor relative of who knows where in our house. The family is in urgent need of money, and he inquired about the eldest son's house.
You are kind-hearted, and you are here to fight the autumn wind. Why do you care about them? If there is really something important, why don't you go to the founding father's house to find the master or the second wife? The eldest son has just come out for training, what can he do? "
When Zhao Xing heard that it made sense, he put the matter in the back of his mind.
