Zhou Tuo was confused.

Zhou Tuo didn't know why Li Guogong told the coachman to go directly back to the Duke's Mansion even though he wanted to help Sun Juan.

Zhou Tuo ran straight out of Shiqu Building and didn't wear a thick outer robe, so he was frozen like that.

At this moment, Zhou Tuo was sitting in the warm pavilion of the Duke's Mansion, drinking hot fragrant tea, and his whole person felt a little unreal.

Zhou Tuo looked at the steward of the Duke's Mansion who was standing aside, and wanted to ask about the situation of rescuing Sun Juan, but he swallowed the words as he spoke.

Zhou Tuoneng came to Chonghuafang to ask for help. He had exhausted his courage and was filled with fear at this moment.

If the Duke refuses to save people, he and Sun Juan will offend Shilang Du because of this, isn't that right! They have been offended.

Zhou Tuo was just scared for the next time. After studying hard for more than ten years, he finally passed the second-class Jinshi exam, but he offended a senior official just three days after the results were released.

Zhou Tuo had been mourning the death of his career before it even started, until the guards of the Duke's Mansion appeared in Nuan Pavilion carrying Sun Juan who was being rolled up.

"You...you...oh!"

"Did you have someone carry you out of the bridal chamber?"

Zhou Tuo stared blankly at Sun Juan who climbed out of the wedding quilt. When he saw that Sun Juan was only wearing a middle coat and didn't even have a pair of shoes on his feet, he finally came back to his senses and asked what he was thinking. The problem.

Sun Juan finally crawled out of the rolled up quilt. When he heard his friend's ridiculous question, he wanted to get under the quilt again.

"I took off my wedding robe and gave it to the person who exchanged identities with me. I couldn't find any other clothes and had to leave the minister's house quickly. This strong man rolled me up in a quilt!"

Sun Juan knew that it was Zhou Tuo who had invited the Duke for him regardless of the danger, and seeing that he was only wearing Zhou Tuo's green shirt, he knew that he had just ran out of the tea room.

Sun Juan was moved by Zhou Tuo's generous help. Even if Zhou Tuo asked such a ridiculous question, Sun Juan answered patiently.

"Huh? Oh! That's good! That's good!"

At this time, a boy brought two pairs of clothes and Butler Li stepped forward and placed the tray in front of Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo.

"My lord, I have always missed the customs and customs of Qingzhou, especially the culture of Qingyuan County. Today I am very happy to hear that two young masters from Qingyun County have won the Jinshi."

"I specially invite the two young masters to come over and have a talk. It's already a bit late. Why don't the two young masters rest at the Duke's Mansion for a night today?"

"After breakfast tomorrow, the Duke's Mansion will arrange a carriage to take you back to the inn!"

Butler Li finished all the things that needed to be explained in a few words, and left them to stay in the Duke's Mansion for one night, just to avoid another accident.

At dawn tomorrow, everything that should happen and shouldn't happen in Du Shilang's house has happened. At least Sun Juan doesn't have to worry about being kidnapped and used as a son-in-law.

Butler Li said that someone would bring food to them in a while, and someone would take them to rest, and then left.

In fact, Butler Li also wanted to stay and listen to the story. Before leaving, Butler Li did not forget to give the boy at the door a wink, so that the boy would pay attention to what was going on in the room.

Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo changed into the clothes sent by Butler Li, and they sat opposite each other at the round table and drank hot tea in silence.

After a long time, Sun Juan's hand returned to normal and stopped shaking. Sun Juan slowly put down the tea cup, stood up and bowed to Zhou Tuo to thank him.

Zhou Tuo quickly stood up and returned the gift. Zhou Tuo was still a second-class Jinshi this time. He couldn't do without Sun Juan's help. He couldn't abandon Sun Juan.

Butler Li sent someone to deliver dinner. In the meantime, Li Hansheng also sent a servant to say hello to the people in the staff department.

The person who came did not say the specific content, but Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo understood it, and they all stood up to thank Li Guogong for his great kindness.

Du Shilang will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and will definitely embarrass Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo on the issue of selecting and assigning officials. However, since Li Guogong has said hello, the officials will naturally not dare to betray Du Shilang's reputation.

It is impossible for Li Hansheng to have any quarrel with that Du Shilang because of Sun Juan, but there is no problem at all in taking care of one or two young people he likes.

After Sun Juan and Zhou Tuo thanked the messenger boy, they felt a sense of relief as they sat down to eat again, and the big stone in their hearts was truly relieved.

They were both exhausted and went back to their rooms to rest after dinner.

There were many things that the two of them didn't mention again, and there were some questions that the two of them naturally didn't ask each other.

such as:

Sun Juan would not ask: "When Brother Zhou was waiting in Chonghuafang, did he ever think about giving up and not offending the senior officials of the third rank?"

Zhou Tuo would not ask: "If I had not asked for help, Sun Sun would be promoted to second place in the future, would he hold grudges and take revenge?"

In a small wine shop in Dianzhou City, Ming Jia, Chen Xiaoliu and Cheng Wen were sitting and drinking tea.

Two young men and a half-year-old boy were drinking tea in a noisy wine shop, and they did attract a lot of attention at first.

However, they would appear in the wine shop on time for several days in a row, and the guests in the wine shop would not be surprised.

The shopkeeper and waiter of a wine shop can do anything as long as the customers have enough money, whether they are having wine or tea.

Finally, on the seventh day of Mingjia's arrival, a tall man in foreign clothes walked into the wine shop.

Huo Zelin sat across from Ming Jia with some discomfort. Chen Xiaoliu didn't recognize Huo Zelin and immediately wanted to take action, but Ming Jia shouted to stop him.

"Mr. Huo, long time no see!"

Mingjia smiled and raised her teacup, feeling as if old friends were meeting and drinking tea together.

Huo Zelin grinds his teeth! This wine shop is his property in Dianzhou, and it is his only property, so it is kept very secret.

"Second Young Master Xiao, you are so happy! Come to the wine shop to drink tea every day!"

Mingjia could hear Huo Zelin's anger, but so what?

Da Liu found out the whereabouts of King Kong Dorje's caravan, Cheng Si also returned from the Central Plains, and Yan Wen naturally returned.

We were able to find this wine shop only because of the help of Da Liu, Yan Wen and Yang Tingxuan.

And Ming Jia worked hard to force Huo Zelin to show up!

On the first day, Mingjia just brought people to drink tea. Some people came over to look at and tease him, so Mingjia asked Chengwen to go out to discuss with others. After a while, the busy wine shop was deserted.

The next day, Mingjia did nothing in the morning and drank tea quietly, occasionally writing and drawing in the booklet she brought with her.

In the afternoon, a team of government officials came to the wine shop, led by the tax officer in charge of the government office, who said they wanted to check the wine shop's account books again.

On the third day, Mingjia ordered two side dishes from the store for the first time. The three of them had tea with the side dishes. At noon, when the restaurant was serving customers, a group of government servants came, saying they were here to check the health conditions.

On the fourth day, Mingjia really did nothing. Because the wine shop received two fines, one for back taxes and one for unclean kitchen.

The total amount of the two fines is not too much or too little, which is exactly the profit of the wine shop for a month.
