Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh best relatives
Now that Shangguan Yu is out, he doesn't plan to go back to the military camp so soon.
After all, Bai Ling is a girl, and it is not convenient to live in a military camp. He can only try his best to spend time with Bai Ling in Zixiao City.
The two wore hats and walked hand in hand on the street, but no one noticed that the man was the young commander they admired.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, did those people's conversation mean they wanted to attack?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice.
"They are looking for someone." It did not involve military secrets, so Shangguan Yu was not afraid that Bai Ling would be in danger if he knew about it, so he told Bai Ling the translated content, and he did not even conceal the information he received.
"A thirteen-year-old boy came to the Eastern Han Dynasty to look for his biological mother?" Bai Ling was a little surprised, and the face of the young man who gave the money flashed in his mind, "If something happens to that young master in the Eastern Han Dynasty, will there be trouble?
"
"There is no credentials for an envoy, nor a normal customs clearance document. Even if something happened to him in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a small tribal leader would not dare to make a big fuss. Even if he wants to track down the murderer, he has to be pleading.
." Shangguan Yu said in a calm tone.
Bai Ling nodded. She didn't care much about national affairs, but she understood what Shangguan Yu meant.
"But Hakeda loves this little son very much. If he can be sent back safely, there will be less harassment at the border for the time being." Shangguan Yu added.
"This young master's biological mother is a woman from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Can he inherit the position of tribal leader in the future?" Bai Ling asked.
"Hakeda is not very old, so it is not a problem to be the leader for another ten or eight years. His sons are of different grades. Harlem has never made any achievements. It is not easy to inherit the position of leader."
Shangguan Yu explained, with light flowing through his eyes.
"Harlem?" Bai Ling almost spat.
"Why, Ling'er knows him?" The scarf blocked Shangguan Yu's facial features, but Bai Ling could still detect the coldness in his eyes.
"Haha, I just think this name is very... interesting." Bai Ling explained dryly.
In his own time, many people of the older generation had listened to Harlin's songs, especially the passionate song "Desert". Although Bai Ling could not sing the whole song, he could still hum along with one or two lines.
It's just that this Ha Lin is not better than Ha Lin. Bai Ling just thinks that the son of a tribal leader is called this name, which is a little less domineering.
Of course, it does not rule out that in the language of the Luoshang tribe, Harlem is a name with a beautiful meaning.
Shangguan Yu felt uncomfortable at the thought of a man who would make Bai Ling laugh just thinking about it, and sourness was pouring out.
"I lied to you, do you have any money?" Bai Ling sneered, grabbing Shangguan Yu's hand and walking forward.
Thinking in his mind, he turned around and asked Uncle Zhong to confirm the identity of the young boy, but he did not plan to tell Shangguan Yu until he was sure.
"There are many people of various religions in this generation. If Ling'er is doing business, it's best not to be here to avoid unnecessary trouble." Shangguan Yu saw that Bai Ling still wanted to go forward, so he gave advice.
"With the banner of Marshal Shangguan, are you still worried about being bullied?" Bai Ling asked funnyly, pointing to a three-story building and said: "It seems that I am lucky today, such a good shop is for sale.
If we can win it, we will save a lot of renovation costs later on."
Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes, but said nothing and kept up with Bai Ling.
"Sir, our restaurant is closed for business. If you want to eat or stay, you should go elsewhere." The two of them entered the shop. A young man who looked like a waiter was lying on the table and yawning. He didn't even look at his head.
Lift it up.
"We want to buy a shop, let's have someone who can make the decision come over and talk about it." Bai Ling said, finding a seat near the door and sitting down.
"Is what the guest said true?" The waiter looked happy, and then he said with a sigh: "This girl doesn't look like a wealthy person. I advise her to go and look at other shops.
Our boss can’t bear to lose what he saves in the future.”
"You're a funny guy. You don't speak up for your boss, so you're not afraid of losing your wages?" Bai Ling asked with a smile, but he didn't take the shop's troubles seriously.
With Shangguan Yu here, Bai Ling would not have a problem walking sideways in Zixiao City.
"I told the guy to do this." An old man came out coughing and said, "Go and serve a pot of tea and bring two plates of snacks over. I'll talk to this girl."
"Yes, boss." The waiter responded respectfully, showing no sign of laziness.
"You two want to buy my shop, have you ever inquired about it before?" the old man asked after sitting down.
"No." Bai Ling said honestly.
"Alas!" the old man sighed, a look of helplessness appeared on his old face, "My ancestors have lived in Zixiao City for three generations, passing down the inheritance from generation to generation. But when it comes to the generation of my son, I have given up business and joined the army. I am afraid that there will be no swords on the battlefield.
After his eye was broken, he was asked to get married and leave a lasting legacy before he could join the army."
"Although my son was stubborn, he was still filial, so he brought back a daughter-in-law who was not very bright. The old man didn't want to embarrass his son, so he approved the marriage. Until the daughter-in-law got pregnant, the son also went
He joined the army, was quite promising, became a centurion, and his daughter-in-law also gave birth to a granddaughter for our family."
"The young couple spends less time together and separates more. There is no good news about my daughter-in-law, but my son is on the battlefield... I wanted to watch my granddaughter grow up, recruit a son-in-law, and leave this property to them, which can be regarded as a renewal of the family.
.But who would have known that General Zuo’s brother-in-law has fallen in love with my daughter-in-law and insists on letting her marry her!"
Having said this, the old man was obviously very angry.
"How can a merchant family like ours compete with General Zuo's brother-in-law? My son's friends in the army want to help, but it is difficult for them to see the general. Just a few days ago, Mr. Liu
He sent a matchmaker to our door and told us that the wedding day will be in three days, and if the bride doesn't get into the sedan chair, he will steal her."
"I didn't want my son to die in silence, so I thought that if I couldn't afford to offend him, I could hide away. There would be a way out by taking the two of them far away. But Master Liu knew what I was thinking, so he sent someone to the tavern opposite.
They were guarding me in the alley and the back door, and if my daughter-in-law dared to step out, they would kidnap her."
"It's impossible to leave, so I plan to sell the shop. I'll find someone to settle the matter with my connections. As long as Mr. Liu can let my daughter-in-law go. But Mr. Liu said, who dares to buy my shop?
I guarantee that we won’t be able to do business in the future, which will obviously cut off all options for our family to retreat!”
The old man became more and more excited as he talked, but Bai Ling was paying attention to Shangguan Yu's reaction.
Bai Ling didn't know the rank in the army. Anyone who might become a general must have a certain weight in the army.
And a brother-in-law of General Zuo can be so domineering in Zixiao City. Do other generals also have various top-notch relatives?
"How much money do you plan to sell the restaurant for?" Shangguan Yu said calmly, trying to keep his coldness down so as not to frighten the old man.
"Fifty thousand taels." The old man sighed: "If this incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't have sold it even if I was given 150,000 taels of silver. This is an inheritance passed down from our ancestors!" (To be continued)
