Liu Gao is now the housekeeper of the Su Ren family. He is doing a good job and is in a good mood. Su Ren has just arrived in Chengdu. There is a large family and no servants. Liu Gao is busy inside and outside.
Seeing the dew all over Liu Gao's body, Su Ren smiled slightly: "You are also a housekeeper. It is not a problem to serve so many people every day. Find a few servants, and the housekeeper must look like a housekeeper!"
"It's okay, I'm not tired!" Liu Gao bared his big yellow teeth and smiled brightly.
"Okay then, it's up to you. Anyway, these people in our courtyard are not like those other official families. If it doesn't work, just say that they are all our own people."
"Hey!" Liu Gao agreed and quickly picked up the water Su Ren had used to wash his face and poured it out.
Chang Yuan came very early and didn't go in. She stood outside the gate in a polite manner. Chengdu is very foggy, especially when autumn and winter alternate. Sometimes it can't even clear up at noon. Chang Yuan had hangers on his head and eyebrows.
There were water drops on it, but I didn't know how to wipe it off, and just stood there quietly.
"It's so early in the morning, why don't you go in! Butler Chang is standing in front of my door, which makes people see the joke." Su Ren dressed neatly and came out of the door: "This is Chengdu, not Wenshui, and your master is already a stranger."
, I don’t dare to do this again.”
Chang Yuan hurriedly saluted: "Su Shipun is a student of the prefect. My master is also a student of the prefect. Speaking of which, sir, he is also half of my master. It is natural to wait for him outside the door!" Pointing to the ox cart behind him: "Sir, please, the cart is ready.
Come on, shall we leave now?"
Su Ren nodded, without being polite, and climbed onto the ox cart. When Chang Yuan also got in, the ox cart started and swayed toward the east.
He slept too late last night and sat on the bullock cart, swaying here and there. It was not long before Su Ren's skin was drooping and he was leaning on the back of the cart. Chang Yuan shook his head, took out a blanket, and gently covered it with
Su Ren arrived at the Chang Mansion. Chang Yuan did not alert Su Ren and ordered the driver to drive the car directly into the yard.
Chang Shi opened the car curtain and took a look: "Oh! I'm so anxious that he can still sleep."
Chang Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe I'm tired these two days. When I saw Mr. Su in the morning, his eyes were full of black circles."
Changshi pushed Su Ren hard, and Su Ren trembled, stood up quickly, looked around for a long time, and then came back to his senses: "Don't drive, are you trying to scare me to death? I slept well this time.
I didn’t sleep until midnight last night. I haven’t slept well since I came to Chengdu.”
"Thank you for sleeping. You have such a big responsibility. If I..." Chang Shi waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Get out of the car quickly and let you see someone."
"who?"
"You'll know it when you see it."
Su Ren hurriedly got out of the car and followed Chang Shi to the house. He did not go to the main hall, but bypassed the front yard and went straight to the back house. In the early Han Dynasty, all classes had not been poisoned by Confucianism, and there was no such thing as the defense of men and women. Su Ren
He is a teenager and is considered a nephew in Chang Shi's eyes. There are no underage girls in Chang Shi's family, so going to the back house is not a big deal.
Su Ren chattered non-stop: "How can Biejia keep showing off? Who with such a great power can actually invite Biejia? It seems that this person is extraordinary."
"It's really extraordinary. He is considered a wonderful person in Chengdu!"
"Oh? How wonderful?"
Chang Shi smiled and said: "I am proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I am much better than a dabbler like you."
"I never said how good I am. It's all you who say I'm a great talent every day. I used to be humble, but now I'm too lazy to be humble. I feel like the great talent coming out of your mouth is the same as Qianjie
It’s like Old Man Liang calls his idiot son.”
"Hahaha……"
Pushing open the door, there was indeed a person in the room, a very beautiful woman. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, and of course she looked very excited. She was wearing a green skirt, with her hair hanging straight down to her waist. She had some rouge on her face.
.A pair of big eyes are very smart. He stood up and bowed down.
Su Ren's mouth opened wide, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out the door.
Changshi quickly stopped him: "What's wrong? What are you going to do?"
Su Ren looked displeased: "Chang Biejia, although we are friends, we are not good enough to get married, right? Besides, I know your daughter is widowed, but you can't force it on me, right? I, Su Ren,
At least you have some status, but you are not a good matchmaker."
The more I heard about Chang Shi, the stranger he became: "Who wants to marry me?"
The woman in the room laughed and said, "Sir, I misunderstood. The little girl is not your daughter."
When Chang Shi heard this, he immediately understood. He raised his hand and slapped Su Ren on the back of the head: "Even if my daughter is a widow, she will not marry you!"
"Seriously?" Su Ren still didn't believe it.
The woman smiled slightly: "My little girl, Lu Yi, has met Mr. Su. I heard that Mr. Su is going to Bodi. I specifically asked for help. I beg Mr. Su to take my little girl with him."
Su Ren turned to look at Chang Shi, who glared at Su Ren: "Miss Lu Yi is also a Bo person. She was sold to Chengdu a few years ago and is now in Huiyifang, Xishi. I think your trip to the Bo land is very dangerous. Since
Miss Luyi is a Bo person and may be of some help to you."
"Huiyifang, isn't that a brothel?" Su Ren thought for a while, and when he looked at Lu Yi again, something was wrong in his eyes.
"Don't think wrongly!" Chang Shi sneered: "Miss Luyi is a prostitute rather than a prostitute, and she is still pure and pure up to now."
"Oh? How did you know?"
"Uh!" Chang Shi was speechless for a moment and was stunned on the spot.
Su Ren quickly apologized: "Don't be surprised, Miss Luyi. Although I have never been to that place, I know what Huiyifang does. Since the girl wants to go to Bodi with me, can you tell the truth and why?"
Lu Yi's face was a little unnatural, but then he smiled again: "The little girl has been in Chengdu for a few years. She is very concerned about her parents and brothers at home. She has long wanted to go back to see her. Why is she alone? The long journey is very inconvenient.
I heard someone else say that Su Shibo is going to Bodi, so if you dare, please don’t contact me, and I also ask for the mayor’s forgiveness.”
"In that case, it's an excuse!" Su Ren looked Lu Yi up and down several times. She is indeed a beautiful woman. After these years of playing around, she looks beautiful every time she smiles. She can see something ladylike in her movements.
style.
Chang Shi saw Su Ren staring blankly at Lu Yi, shaking his head and smiling: "It's better to be young and see beautiful women without any scruples. Okay, stop looking!"
Lu Yi was also generous, and did not feel embarrassed at all by Su Ren's eyes. He still knelt down opposite him and drank tea with a smile.
Su Ren was reminded of the usual situation and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly apologized: "My dear, I'm sorry, I'm leaving Meng Lang now. In this case, I will definitely inform my daughter when I leave in a few days."
"Thank you so much, Su Shipu!"
A few people chatted for a while, and Lu Yi talked about a song. Su Ren didn't do any research on music, he just thought it sounded good, and he also praised Chang Shi. Lu Yi thanked Su Ren and Chang Shi again, and then went out.
And go.
After Lu Yi left, Su Ren looked at Chang Shi and said with a smile: "Don't drive, let's talk about it? What is your relationship with this girl Lu Yi? Not many people know about my going to Bodi.
, except for the people from the Taishou Mansion that day, there are only a few people from my family, how did the brothel girl from Huiyifang know about it? "
Chang Shi said without changing his expression: "This really has nothing to do with me. Miss Lu Yi said that it was Meng Ji who brought people to their place to drink, and she overheard it."
"Mengji?"
Changshi nodded: "It's Meng Ji. I also suspected that Meng Ji was causing trouble at first. Later, after testing it a few times, I felt it didn't seem right, so I brought you here. Don't worry, our interests are together, and I won't harm you.
"
"Is it really what she said? She is planning to go back to see her parents? No one believes this. Bo people generally have a short life span. It is not certain whether they are alive at this time. This woman has been in my Han country for several years. If she doesn't go back sooner or later,
If you don’t go back, it’s strange that you go back at this time without any problem.”
"Then you still agree to take her with you?"
"Even if I don't take her with me, this woman will definitely go back. In this case, it's better to keep her by my side and watch."
Meng Ji did not go to the Yamen in the morning, and it was his turn to take a rest today. He had just had breakfast and was playing with a few ladies in the pavilion in the garden. The Meng family has a great business, and 20% of the people in the east city are named Meng, either near or far.
There was some connection with the Meng family. Meng Bi hurried in and saw his father sitting in the pavilion. He hurried over and bowed to his mother and several concubines first.
Meng Ji smiled slightly: "You can go and play by yourselves. I'm a little tired and want to take a rest here!"
Meng Bi's mother glanced at Meng Bi and quickly asked others to leave the pavilion, leaving this place to Meng Ji and his son.
When everyone walked away, Meng Bi said: "Father, that woman has already contacted Su Ren. Do you want to...?"
"This woman really has some tricks up her sleeve. Did she say anything to Su Ren?"
Meng Bi shook his head: "This old guy is always cautious. They met in the back house of his house. The people we arranged could not get close, so we don't know what was said."
Meng Ji took a deep breath: "This woman is the key to controlling the Bo people. No matter what method is used, we must keep an eye on it. And that Su Ren, this guy is insidious. If they have any problems, then..."
"My child understands!"
Su Ren came back from Chang Shi's house. There was a car when he went there, but when he came back there was no one to see him off. He came out early in the morning and didn't eat anything. He felt all over his body and didn't bring any money. When he was feeling melancholy, he suddenly saw someone coming in front of him.
An acquaintance.
Su Ren rushed forward: "Boy, long time no see?"
The man rolled his eyes: "Who are you?"
"Lao Jun Guan Su Ren, do you still remember? You and the prefect went to our place. I still remember that your name was Laifu, right?"
"Oh..." Laifu laughed quickly and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Su! I heard that you came to Chengdu. I've always wanted to visit, but I never had the chance. Why haven't I met that boy Hawking?"
"He didn't follow you today, what are you...?"
Laifu looked at the things in his hands: "The prefect is old, his teeth are not very good, and he likes glutinous rice cakes. I will go to the street to buy some! Try it, our glutinous rice cakes are the best in the world in Sichuan!"
"Really? You're welcome then!" Su Ren took a pack, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth: "Yes, it's really delicious. Where did you buy it? I'll buy some later!"
Laifu chuckled: "It's right at the corner of the street. It's easy to find!" After saying that, he turned around and saw that only half of the bag of glutinous rice cakes in Su Ren's hand was left. (To be continued)
