One hundred and fifty-two rain to people draw swords
"Where did you come from? Where are you going?"
"You're very skilled. Who did you learn from?"
"He looks quite handsome. Come and show it to your sister?"
"Little brother~"
Zhang Bashun, the head of the escort agency, could not have imagined that the master of the Washington Palace had repeatedly warned him that his daughter, who was as quiet as a bright flower shining in the water and as active as a weak willow supporting the wind, should not be allowed to be in the same room with those rude men in the escort agency. Zhang Bashun thought
After much deliberation, Wei Changpan was the only one of the escorts who met his needs. The master of the Washington Mansion was still uneasy. Seeing that Wei Changpan had stayed in his daughter's courtyard for some time without causing any problems, and he was a smart and decent man.
, then reluctantly let him go to his daughter’s courtyard.
This courtyard is called Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and it is one of the most unique and elegant courtyards in Washington. It is full of lush trees and flowers. In addition, there is a tortoise-shell bamboo forest that no wealthy family in Heqing County has.
It only grows in the mountains of Qingzhou in the south of Dayao, where there are miasma and wild clouds, and there are many mountains. Every time a hundred bamboos are transported, a life is lost. Not to mention that the road to Suzhou is long, and seven out of ten bamboos will die along the way.
, so it is reasonable for a tortoise-shell bamboo to be worth twenty gold. The bamboo forest in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is said to contain more than a thousand tortoise-shell bamboos. Hundreds of them were purchased in Qingzhou on the birthday of the daughter of Huafu, and the rest were all
These are the grandsons and grandsons of these more than a hundred bamboos, and there are quite a few other seemingly ordinary and rare flowers and trees.
When Wei Changpan came into the courtyard, he didn't know how valuable the plants and trees were. He had some youthful temperament when he was free the day before yesterday, so he wanted to pick up a leaf to make a whistle, but he was stopped by a maid in the courtyard, saying that the tree was...
The golden leaves shipped back from overseas never lose their leaves no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter. The leaves are golden and look like ingots. They are meant to attract wealth. They are the money-making trees that merchants covet. If one piece is missing, it will be a huge disaster.
It's auspicious, I have to chop it down to fill it up, and each chop will cost hundreds of taels of silver.
The maid's serious words made Wei Changpan walk on thin ice in the courtyard for hundreds of years. Even when he went out for a walk twice, he had to be careful, put on soft-soled cloth shoes, and keep away from the vegetation in the detour. As for relieving himself, it was even more troublesome. This Xiaoxiang
The hand washing room in the hotel was used by girls, so how could he use it? He had to go all the way to a hut somewhere else. One time he got up at night and came back, and was treated as a Woniu Mountain gangster by the Washington watchman when he came back.
He screamed so loudly that he made all the chickens and dogs in Washington restless.
These are nothing, the biggest trouble is...
"Brother Wei? Why are you so afraid of the slave family?" The charming woman in front of her had a bride's red makeup on her face, her eyebrows were as curved as the moon, and she smiled sweetly. She leaned forward and asked the little escort who was forced into the corner by her.
, "You escorts are practicing escorting all year round. Don't you have to be unable to restrain yourself when you see a woman? How can you bear this?"
The charming person with the phoenix crown and Xia Pei exhaled like orchid, and ruffled the hair on his forehead. Those few hairs seemed to be scratching his heart, making people anxious...
"Girl, respect yourself." Wei Changpan, who was forced into a corner, dodged away, blushed and said a few feet away, and said angrily: "Girl is a person to be married, so please respect yourself!"
The lipstick was red, the lips moved slightly... and a whole piece of crystal mung bean cake was stuffed inside.
"It's boring, it's really boring." She, who was so charming just now, suddenly acted like a little girl again, chewing cakes in her mouth, her cheeks bulging, "Why did dad bring in such an elm head that doesn't understand the charm?"
Hua Xiang got up in the middle of the night and let the servants around her put on her wedding dress and put on her bride's make-up. She just sat there waiting for her future husband to come to welcome her. Everyone was tired and bored after waiting.
Grandma comforted her and said yes
It's already noon, and most of the people greeting the bride are already on the way. The Sun family's mansion in the north of the city is not far away, so it's not a big deal to delay for half an hour...
The few maids who were doing the wedding were also tidied up, wore brand-new clothes, and applied light makeup. Those who stayed in the palace were very reluctant to leave their master, and two of them secretly wiped their tears several times.
"Today is my lady's happy day. You all have to be happy. Those who follow me will not suffer any loss when you go to the Sun family. Those who stay in the Washington Palace will not be bullied by other servants.
, tell me, I’ll tell my dad again, don’t discount their legs!”
Before she could swallow the pastry in her mouth, she vaguely lectured the few maids in the house who were reluctant to let her go and urinate and wait on her. Then she simply slapped her thigh: "That's alright, I'll tell dad and let you
We are all going to Sun's house, why don't you thank me quickly?"
In the blink of an eye, these maids were all happy and busy cleaning up the trivial things in the courtyard. Hua Xiang yawned and turned to Wei Changpan and said:
"Hey, you said Wudutou from Woniu Mountain is really coming today?"
Wei Changpan, who was at least ten feet away with a wary expression, replied seriously: "First, that was the head of the Wu'er family on Woniu Mountain. His position as Dutou was gone after killing people. Second, according to the information from the escort agency, this person has always been a man of his word."
Believe, the behavior of a hero must be resolute. If you say you will come today, you will probably come today. Three, my name is not 'Hey', my name is Wei..."
"Not yet, you stupid head, what's the difference?" Hua Xiang didn't care, picked up another piece of cake and threw it into his mouth, "The bride will be here soon, why don't you hurry up and fill your stomach?"
"The bride-to-be is here, and the people from Woniu Mountain will be here soon. How can you still be in the mood to eat cakes?" Wei Changpan, who had never expected her to say such words, said in surprise, "Girls are not afraid of being lied to."
Abducted by people on Niu Mountain?"
"Of course I'm a little scared." She swallowed the cake in her mouth, and the maid behind her came up to wipe the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth. "If I were kidnapped, I wouldn't be able to eat this cake. Why don't you eat a few more pieces now?"
Wei Changpan listened and thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense. He immediately looked at her with admiration. He ignored her previous teasing words and said seriously:
"Today Wei will do his best to make Miss Hua's marriage a successful one."
"Once...I was about to get married..."
Hua Xiang looked at the young escort with an extremely distant gaze, and felt in a trance that he was right here, but his soul was far away.
"I'd like to give you some good advice." She smiled and picked up another cake, "But how old are you before you want to get married?"
"My master arranged a marriage for me..." Wei Changpan said seriously, "Also, I have come a long way and am almost seventeen."
"You're getting married when you're only seventeen, that's not too young?" Hua Xiang put down the pastry in his hand and pouted, "How old are you when you are a man who cultivates his moral integrity and establishes a career before starting a family? Which of the first two have you achieved? Xiuwen talks about becoming a Jinshi and
Secondly, practicing martial arts is not only going to the capital to take the imperial examination, but also joining the army and serving the imperial court. It doesn't matter if you eat this bowl of rice in the escort agency, travel around and sleep in the open air, what is the key to your future? Don't be confused.
How can you become a bodyguard at a young age and then stay in the bodyguard forever?"
"We all rely on our strength to make a living and earn money based on our skills. What's the difference between high and low..." Wei Changpan was stunned for a long time and argued, "If Wuhe Escort Bureau hadn't been the bodyguard for Washington, the escorts would have worked so hard on this trip.
Bitter, your dowry has been robbed by the robbers a long time ago...
.”
"So you don't want to be the head escort? The chief bodyguard? Or the owner of the escort agency?" Hua Xiang became interested. The maids in the room quickly worked together to lift her chair closer to Wei Changpan and then put it down. She held her chin and asked curiously.
He asked, "How much money can you make as a bodyguard every month?"
"Headguard Zhang told me that I am a first-class escort, but my qualifications are still relatively low, so I can only be assigned to the second-class position for the time being. The monthly salary is eighty-two-five cents, and I can get extra money when I am out of the escort agency." Wei Changpan
He answered honestly, "If you calculate it this way, you can probably get less than two hundred taels of silver a year..."
"If you have less than two hundred taels of silver, after deducting your daily expenses, you can still have more than a hundred taels left over. Just think of it as two hundred taels. If you put two hundred taels in the bank, it will only cost you two cents a year."
Interest, if you lend it out, the interest will be doubled several times. The people in your escort agency usually travel across the state and county. They know the specialties from various places. If they can, they can take them with them and sell them elsewhere where the price is high. Then they can change hands.
I can earn a lot in less than five years." Hua Xiang held out five green jade fingers and said, "In five years, I dare not say that I will be worth ten thousand taels of silver. A few thousand taels of silver will still not be a problem."
Hua Xiang's barrage of words suddenly poured into Wei Changpan's mind, making him a little dizzy. He vaguely saw a hill of white flowers and silver naked people in front of him, and he smiled foolishly.
Suddenly there was a thunder outside the house, and several maids inside the house screamed in surprise, but Hua Xiang calmly said: "It's just thunder, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Not only the thunder." Wei Changpan looked a little ugly, "There was also the sound of weapons clashing, right in the front yard."
Big raindrops fell from the sky, one point, two points, three points, seven points, eight points, dozens of points, millions of points, the heavy rain hit the ground, making a continuous sound.
"Can't hear you clearly." Wei Changpan held down the knife on his waist. Several maids in the room were about to scream again, but he stopped him. Wei Changpan said calmly, "Today is the day when your lady is getting married. I will protect her."
of."
There was once someone he wanted to protect, but at that time he could do nothing. He could only watch her being beheaded. If someone hadn't saved her, there would have been no chance for her to see her again in this life, and she would not have been able to do so.
Come to Suzhou.
Today, he wants to do something.
He opened the door, and the strong wind and rain hit his face, causing a slight sting.
The sound of swords clashing in the distance gradually got closer, and one could still hear the screams and screams one after another.
In front of the courtyard gate, Wu He Escort Bureau, two three-story martial arts escorts who had been waiting here for a long time, both wore raincoats and bamboo hats. When they saw Wei Changpan coming out, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.
If the people in front can't resist, then we can only look at the three of them.
