The Major General's Country Wife

On the street in summer, two figures stand side by side under a green bamboo umbrella.

With picturesque eyebrows and a sweet smile, gentle and elegant, tall and handsome, it looks like a beautiful picture soaked in ink and wash in this hot long street.

Xu He stood with his hands folded around his chest, twirling the sour words he wanted to make fun of, but he never uttered them.

"Changfeng." Wang Chengde and Liu Fengyi stepped forward and said, "I wanted to invite you to get together. Today's meeting is worse than meeting by chance. How about we be hosts?"

Xu Changfeng looked at Yun Changsheng, the meaning of the question was obvious, Yun Changsheng raised his head happily, "Okay."

Seeing his complacency, Xu He couldn't help jumping out what he wanted to say just now, "Hey, pay attention, this is the street."

"What about on the street?" Yun Changsheng replied, then turned to look at Xu Changfeng aggrievedly, bowed his head and did not say another word.

"Xu He." Xu Changfeng frowned, "Be careful what you say, how can you think of making some indecent jokes in public."

"Hello." Xu He jumped up and said with surprise and disbelief, "Changfeng, how can you say such a thing?"

"Hee hee." Yun Changsheng was amused, Xu Changfeng is not only a gentleman now, he is also a soldier who gets along with some rough men in the barracks all day long.

Sure enough, Xu Changfeng didn't even frown, "Is this not good? I have a lot of good words here, like the rough words in the military camp. Do you want to learn from them?"

Xu He was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Xu Changfeng to do this, so he could only say bitterly: "You should keep it for your husband and wife."

Yun Changsheng looked at Xu Changfeng, secretly pleased, but said: "We are all friends, I don't mind, don't be angry."

He has a smile on his brows and eyes, with an inherently cute appearance, and he doesn't deliberately show two pointed canine teeth. Anyone who looks at him will think he is a good and sensible boy.

Xu He looked at him pretending to be well-behaved, worried about Xu Changfeng's protection, put away his joking heart, and turned his head depressed, "Hmph."

"Okay." Wang Chengde smoothed things over, "It's so hot, let's go to the teahouse in front to rest for a while, how about I go to the restaurant for dinner at noon?"

"En." Xu Changfeng nodded, he purposely accompanied Yun Changsheng out to play, and with his approval, he also wanted him to meet his friends.

Several people came to the tea house, sat down in a clean and elegant room, and ordered fruit plates, pastries and tea.

As soon as Xiao Er stepped back, Xu He couldn't wait to ask: "Changfeng, do you know that the old man Fu Yin hastily entered the palace without even being promoted?"

"If you don't comply with this rule, other matters don't need to be tried." Xu Changfeng didn't care, and said flatly: "The royal family, when will you put others in your eyes."

"If even this article can't convict Zhang Jinyu, humiliate the Duke of the dynasty, and attempt to destroy Changfeng's appointment, what is it!" Liu Fengyi sighed.

"Is it possible for us to discuss and speculate on royal affairs?" Wang Chengde frowned, and said in a flat and helpless tone: "Just wait for the holy will."

"I don't want any results." Xu Changfeng said: "It's just to let the capital know what Zhang Jinyu has done, and let people see that the Duke's Mansion is not just letting others bully it."

After he finished speaking, he saw the tea and fruit plate brought by the waiter in the restaurant, and put one of the watermelon plates in front of Yun Changsheng,

"Eat some watermelon, it will quench your thirst coldly."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng picked up a slice and took a small bite. The cool and refreshing watermelon tasted so good that his body was relieved a lot, "It's delicious."

He smiled and picked up another small piece, handed it to Xu Changfeng and said, "You can eat it too. It is best to eat watermelon at this time. It is good for the body to cool off the heat."

"Hi." Xu He suddenly patted the table and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, we will soon be able to eat fruits from the south."

"There will be a fruit store opening in Kyoto soon, and leaflets are being distributed in the streets and alleys. It is said that there are many varieties and they will be sold in limited quantities."

He looked at his friends and said proudly, "I'm ready. I will send everyone in the mansion out on the day of the opening. I will definitely buy a lot and store them in the ice cellar for the whole summer."

"Yes, it's good to buy more." Yun Changsheng encouraged with a smile: "At that time, any family will have to wait in line every day, but you can enjoy it at home. Isn't it a joy?"

"That's right." Xu He suddenly seemed to be pumped, and chatted with Yun Changsheng enthusiastically, completely forgetting that he wanted to make fun of him and Xu Changfeng earlier, but was taught a lesson instead.

Seeing that Yun Changsheng was willing to get in touch with Xu He, Xu Changfeng wiped the corners of his sweet and greasy mouth with a handkerchief, happy to see that it was successful and they met.

"This year, more and more foreign merchants have settled in Kyoto." Liu Fengyi said: "I heard from people in the mansion that there are people who sell ice in the mansion. It is said that the cheap ones can even be used by ordinary people occasionally."

"It's a good thing." Wang Chengde joined them, "If the supply can be kept, I won't have to think about using the ice stored in the house in the future, and I can spend a summer just by keeping it tight."

Yun Changsheng was happy in his heart, knowing that Uncle He's business could sell well anywhere, he still suppressed it at this moment.

I can't help but feel happy.

Big families have ice cellars, but the ice stored may not be enough. There is no precedent for personal ice making. They have made a lot of money by using ice making methods.

If it weren't for the concern that there is no backer here in Kyoto, I am afraid that the ice-making method cannot be kept, so I would have come here to sell it, so why bother to hide here in circles.

Now that they have the ability to protect themselves, they have the idea of ​​​​taking root in Kyoto, otherwise they will not come here rashly.

Yun Changsheng spoke in a calm manner, occasionally complimenting Xu He, asking them if they plan to buy ice, and by the way, see if they can get some business, but he hasn't said anything yet.

Xu Changfeng had already figured it out, he looked at a few friends and said, "Uncle Changsheng has an escort agency in the capital, if you need it in your house, you can go and have a look."

"Huh?" Xu He was surprised, and asked Yun Changsheng, "Do you still have an escort agency at home?"

"It's not my family." Yun Changsheng said, "It's some uncles in the countryside who are begging for food."

"Oh." Xu He was thoughtful, this is not a trivial matter, "It is not a trivial matter to run a dart, the mansion may have to look at it and discuss it in detail, and it is estimated that it can give a small business at most."

"Yes." Wang Chengde is a steady person, "Dart walking is not only about money, sometimes it's about human life. We can only say that we will try our best to fight for some."

Ever since Xu Changfeng spoke, Yun Changsheng didn't speak anymore, but just sat quietly and listened to their discussion.

Running an escort is not a trivial matter, how could he not know it, but there is no need to say anything now, and after letting them understand it slowly, they will choose the Southwest Escort.

The place where Yun Changsheng was sitting happened to be by the window. Looking at the bustling people on the street outside, he knew that it was not easy to do any job.

"What's the matter?" Although Xu Changfeng was talking to Xu He and the others, his attention never left him. "Want to go out for a walk?"

"I won't go." Yun Changsheng looked up at the sun in the sky, the dazzling sunlight made people dizzy, "It's too hot."

"Uncle He and the others won't be short of business." Xu Changfeng thought he was worried about this, and turned his head to look at a few friends, "You can rest easy if you choose Uncle Changsheng's escort agency."

He could see that He Xi and the others had extraordinary skills, and Xu Guogong also judged that their skills were unfathomable. How could it be unsafe to have such people.

"Yo." Xu He raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "According to what you said, this Southwest Escort is not ordinary. It seems that we really need to take a closer look. There is a strong Escort, and we will save a lot of worry."

Wang Chengde and Liu Fengyi looked at each other, and understood that Xu Changfeng was not talking casually, but was recommending this to them.

Escort.

Based on what they knew about Xu Changfeng, they wouldn't tell them that without certain strength, so they all nodded and said that they would tell the steward of the mansion when they went back, and send someone over to have a look.

While they were talking, Ning Shan came over and reported to Xu Changfeng: "There is news from the palace that the Holy Majesty is furiously saying that Zhang Jinyu will be severely punished, but no order has been issued yet."

"Confiscation or exile?" Xu Changfeng didn't need to think about it at all, he knew that these were impossible, "Let them go, I didn't want any results."

"Won't the emperor blame you?" Yun Changsheng was a little worried, this was something he made up, "Will he blame you?"

"It doesn't matter if you vent your anger or not." Xu Changfeng stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, "Don't worry, they can't do it now."

"Are you hungry?" Xu Changfeng didn't want Yun Changsheng to worry about this, "Shall we go to a restaurant for dinner?"

"Okay." Yun Changsheng got up, he wasn't tired, but he didn't want to take a stroll because it was too hot outside, "Go to eat a feast of fresh food."

As the name suggests, Baixian Banquet is all kinds of seafood. To be able to eat these at this time does not only require money, but also requires a certain status.

Nowadays, transportation is underdeveloped in ancient times, and it is extremely difficult to transport it from the sea, and the cost and damage along the way are not affordable for ordinary people.

…………

"Wanghai Building." Xu He pointed to the plaque upstairs and said, "There are all kinds of seafood here, but we can't easily eat some rare ones, and you can enjoy the rest as you like."

He then introduced to Yun Changsheng that this restaurant is not accessible to ordinary people, identity and money are indispensable.

Mainly because of the price of various seafood, ordinary officials and officials cannot afford to eat it all the time, and they only come to enjoy it once in a while.

"Tsk tsk." Yun Changsheng didn't expect that in this place of Kyoto, these foods are so expensive, and he was happy to have another business opportunity.

However, he has to settle one thing now. Just now Xu Changfeng proposed to come here to have a feast of fresh food, but he said he would treat it himself.

He looked at Wang Chengde and the others, how could Xu Changfeng not show face when his friends invited him so warmly, it was so heartbreaking.

"It's too expensive." Yun Changsheng smiled embarrassedly, and said to Wang Chengde and Liu Fengyi: "I'm sorry to make you spend money, just order whatever you want."

Yun Changsheng ignored them, who were stunned, and turned to Xu Changfeng and said, "Your friend wants to invite you, so don't lose face. How about we invite you back another day?"

"Okay." Xu Changfeng nodded in response, seeing Yun Changsheng's kind voice and asking, he pulled nervously.

How could he refuse?

"We'll be hosts some other day, and we'll invite some of you to a banquet." Xu Changfeng said to Wang Chengde and the others, "Today, I'll be the one to trouble everyone."

No matter how expensive the restaurant is, it's not completely unaffordable. Xu Changfeng didn't think too much about it, just please come back later.

Xu He pursed his lips to hide the corners of his lips that were going to be raised, and Xu Changfeng turned the guest into the main banquet, naturally because he wanted to bring Yun Changsheng to eat this expensive feast that ordinary people can't afford.

Everyone present knew how much the banquet was worth. Xu Changfeng insisted that he would not let them pay the bill, but also understood that they were unwilling.

"Okay." The corner of Wang Chengde's mouth twitched. Yun Changsheng didn't follow common sense, and they couldn't help it. "It's just a feast of fresh food. How could our friendship be so polite?"

That's what he said, but he couldn't control his distress. Even with the help of Liu Fengyi and Xu He, he still had to live a tight life.

Unexpectedly, Xu He smiled "hehe", looked at Wang Chengde and Liu Fengyi and said, "The two of you are having a banquet today, so the younger brother will also set up a separate table to invite some of you to get together again some other day."

After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves happily and left, followed behind Yun Changsheng and the others with a snicker: "This country boy is picky, he's seen it before, the few taels of money in his purse now are all thanks to him."

I still don't want to participate in this expensive banquet. After all, it is known that I am in debt, and I have nowhere to go to ask him for money.

"Huh?" Xu He turned around the stairs, saw Xu Changfeng and the others stop, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you leave?"

He poked his head curiously, and gave a "tsk" in his heart. It was too bad luck to meet him by such a coincidence.
