"It's not that..." After Gu Zhengbang said that, he tapped the letter with his finger: "You should also take a look..."
Mo Di picked up the letter and read it carefully.
While Mo Di was reading the content of the letter, Gu Zhengbang slowly stood by the window with a cup of tea.
After Mo Di carefully read the letter, he raised his head and asked: "Sir, are we going to change our route to Yaozhou instead of returning directly to the capital? What about the young lady..."
Gu Zhengbang looked out the window calmly, thought for a moment and then said: "Mo Di, we will go to Huzhou early tomorrow morning. You fly a pigeon overnight to send a letter to Miao Li, asking him to bring more people to Huzhou to join us. I will arrange the manpower then.
Send Ling'er back to Beijing, and the rest of the people will follow me to Yaozhou!"
"I understand, sir!" Mo Di put down the letter and left the room.
Gu Zhengbang walked back to the desk, put down the tea cup, picked up the letter paper and envelope, then raised his hand and placed them on the flame of the candle. When the fire started to burn, Gu Zhengbang threw the burning object into the porcelain on the ground next to the desk.
In the basin.......
The letter was quickly burned to ashes, and a "puffing" sound was heard in the yard...
Gu Zhengbang turned around and saw a white pigeon flying away from the yard.
After a while, Mo Di came back and reported: "Sir, the letter to Miao Li has just been sent."
"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest first." Gu Zhengbang nodded.
"My lord, please take a rest early." Mo Di bowed his hands and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhengbang stopped him again: "Mo Di..."
Mo Di turned around and said, "What else do you have to say, sir?"
Gu Zhengbang asked: "How do you feel about this young man named Chai Yan?"
Mo Di hesitated for a moment and then said: "Listen to your Majesty... It seems that you want to recruit this person into our Wude Division?"
There were only two of them in the room, so Gu Zhengbang said without concealment: "Well, after observing these two days, this person's skills are indeed novel and mysterious. It would be a good thing if he can be recruited to be used by Wu Desi...
....”
Mo Di asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you recruit him directly when we separated just now?"
Gu Zhengbang shook his head and said: "If ordinary people want to enter the Wude Division, they must go through a lot of screening. If I recruit him back so easily, I may not be able to convince the public if the news spreads!"
How could Mo Di have thought that the real reason was that Gu Zhengbang hadn't thought it through at that time...
Mo Di then asked: "What do you mean, sir..."
Gu Zhengbang thought for a while and then said: "In this case, I will write a handwritten letter immediately, and you will hand it over to Zhou Zhixian for me tomorrow morning, instructing Zhou Zhixian to pass it to Chai Yan the next time he sees him!"
"Yes, sir." Mo Di promised.
While Gu Zhengbang was laying out the letter raft, he picked up his pen and was thinking about how to write the ink.
After a while, Gu Zhengbang put down his pen...
The letter was written as soon as a stick of incense arrived. Gu Zhengbang confirmed that there was no problem before putting the letter into an envelope. After sealing the letter, he handed it to Mo Di.
After Mo Di collected the letter and left, Gu Zhengbang walked to the window and stood there, looking at the night sky and thinking to himself: This is not bad. If Chai Yan did not leave Anping County and took the letter from Zhou Zhixian, it would be okay.
I finally said yes to the fateful farewell...
------------------
The next morning, Chai Yan went downstairs, had some breakfast in the inn, and then went out.
At present, Chai Yan has no plans to leave Anping County for other towns, so the first priority is to rent a permanent place. After all, it is impossible to spend money to stay in an inn for a long time.
While walking and asking around, Chai Yan really found a place he was quite satisfied with.
This is a small courtyard with a single family. It faces the street on the left and a family of four named Wang on the right. The people who rented this courtyard were a scholar and his personal maid. A few days ago, the two suddenly
After moving out, the house is still complete with furniture and daily necessities. As long as you have money, you can just pack up and move in.
Chai Yan didn't hesitate, he paid the money and said he would stay here!
The landlord was very happy and immediately handed the door key to Chai Yan.
After deciding where to live, Chai Yan found a clothing store, bought a few changes of clothes and shoes, and then walked to the market.
Chai Yan strolled slowly in the market. Whenever he saw an interesting shop along the street, Chai Yan would stop and look at it for a while.
This stroll lasted until the afternoon. Chai Yan felt hungry, so he randomly found a noodle shop and ate a bowl of noodles.
Chai Yan didn't leave in a hurry after finishing the noodles. He first rewarded the waiter with two copper coins, and then exchanged a few words with his parents before he began to inquire about whether there was a suitable place for his work nearby.
After much thought, Chai Yan still felt that finding a job would be more suitable for his personality.
After receiving Chai Yan's reward, the man was embarrassed not to take this matter seriously.
The waiter carefully looked at the newly dressed Chai Yan and asked: "Sir, can you settle accounts?"
"Forget it, what's wrong?" Chai Yan is telling the truth. He can do everything except abacus, addition, subtraction and multiplication.
The waiter immediately showed a smile, turned sideways to get out of sight, and pointed at one end of the street and said: "Sir, a notice was posted there a few days ago. I heard that a bookkeeper was hired. Don't you know how to settle accounts?
It’s just in time to give it a try, it’s only eight coins a month…”
Chai Yan was very interested and asked carefully: "Which family is it?"
The waiter replied: "Hexiangyuan!"
The name sounded familiar to Chai Yan. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately remembered that Hexiangyuan was the brothel where Su Jinhan's concubine, Miss Zhilan, stayed!
After thanking the man, Chai Yan walked to Hexiangyuan. He was not disgusted with places like brothels. Since they were hiring a bookkeeper there, he went to give it a try.
Hexiangyuan is a well-known brothel in Anping County, so the salary offered by the accountant is not bad, but correspondingly, the personal quality and ability of the accountant are also required to be higher.
When I came to the gate of Hexiangyuan, I saw that it was still early and Hexiangyuan had not yet opened for business. However, there was a man in his fifties dressed as a turtle cleaning the door.
"Excuse me, uncle, are you asking for the accounting clerk here?" Chai Yan stepped forward and asked.
Mr. Turtle straightened his back and looked back. The person in front of him was very young, but he was well-dressed, so he asked: "Young man, are you asking for your elders?"
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head, pointed at himself and said: "No, uncle, I asked for myself..."
