Moreover, once Huamanlou helped Nie Wenbing after he entered the head of the household department, the old Nie naturally stood by Huamanlou's side—even though Huamanlou has not entered the imperial court and has no idea of forming a party for personal gain, But there are already signs of a "flower party" in the court.
The core of the so-called "Flower Party" is naturally Huamanlou, the backbone is Nie Wenbing, the main force is the agents of the southeast and Shanxi merchants in the court, allies include the cabinet scholar, the official supervisor, the commander of Xuanwuwei, and the three princes... …
That is to say, after taking down Na Zhenghao, Huamanlou is already a figure who would tremble three times when he coughed, even though he didn't know it at all, and scoffed at it: "Is Nie Wenbing not as free and easy as Liu Qiran?" Ah, is it interesting to calculate and calculate?"
After Na Zhenghao's party was taken down, the DPRK and China actually left a lot of positions vacant.
After Lao Nie picked up the biggest leak, Liu Qiran, the magistrate of Suzhou, was also promoted exceptionally because of the Pingwa incident. It was said that he was going to join the Ministry of War as a servant, and he came to Beijing within a month or two.
In other words, Lao Liu was immediately labeled as a "flower party" as soon as he entered Beijing, and Huamanlou added another general. This is a shit...
I don't know which lazy old man is behind the scenes. Anyway, Hua Manlou is completely ignorant of the inside story, and he just thinks that Lao Liu is lucky.
After Hua Manlou despised Nie Wenbing for a while, he didn't bother to care about it—as a salted fish, what's the point of being involved in the court?
And just when Huamanlou's wedding date was set, a certain tease girl who had accumulated meritorious service to thousands of households arrived in Jinzhong.
"Mr. Song Qian, should we go directly to Miss Su or protect her secretly near the martial arts hall?"
"Well... Let's take a look around first. By the way, take my waist card and go to the Xuanwu Guard Hundred Households. I want to ask them about the situation."
"No, to protect Miss Su... Is it necessary to find Xuanwu Wei?"
"If you tell me to go, go! Do you really think Uncle asked me to wait here to protect Miss Su? Stupid!"
486. Longevity!
In the Hundred Household Office of Xuanwuwei, Taigu County, the Hundred Household Officer stood in the guard room, not daring to breathe.And Song Jie just sat in the seat of a hundred households in such a big way, holding the tea bowl with his legs crossed, sipping every sip.
Xishanwei's prestige is too great, not to mention the official of a hundred households in a small place, even the Xuanwuwei Jinzhong Qianhu Office, who is on the same level as Qianhu, would not dare to bark his teeth with Song Jie.So when Song Jie revealed his identity, the Baihu directly knelt down.
"Song...Mr. Song, you want to check that martial arts gym...is it because they committed something?" Baihu asked tremblingly.
It was said earlier that the Qin Family Martial Arts Academy has accepted so many disciples and taught them the methods of battle formation. This matter is taboo, and it should be supervised by the Xuanwu Guards or even directly investigated and dealt with.But Qin Youque's reputation in Jinzhong is good, and Taigu County Magistrate also greeted Xuanwuwei because of this, so Qin Youque's admission of disciples is basically a situation where the people don't raise officials and don't investigate. Take it to heart.
But now someone from the capital suddenly came to the door and asked straight to the point about the martial arts, so Baihu couldn't help but think a little more: Could it be that something went wrong?Did Qin Youque get into trouble?
Song Jie raised his brows: "I'm asking you if anyone has trouble with the martial arts school. What are you thinking?"
"This... this..." Baihu was stunned: "Returning to the commander, the Qin family has a good reputation in Jinzhong, and they are skilled in martial arts. It is a great fortune for them not to trouble others."
"Is there really no one to trouble them? The county government or your Xuanwu Guard?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" Baihu Guan could see that the other party was here to solve the trouble, not to cause it, so he couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't provoke everyone in the martial arts hall.
Song Jie saw that the other party didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded and said: "All right. It's okay, you can go to work."
"Yes."
After Baihu left, Song Jie's younger brother came over: "Mr. Qian, why are you asking about the martial arts? We just want to ensure Miss Su's safety."
Song Jie gave him a blank look: "Pig brains! Why not ask about the martial arts school? If someone troubles the martial arts school, isn't it troublesome for Miss Su?"
"Uh...that's it."
Song Jie continued: "So if Miss Su encounters a bit of a bully who is difficult to make a move, then I will have to wait for her to take care of it? What's more..."
"What's more?"
Song Jie scratched his head and remained silent.
According to his previous thinking, if there are some bullying playboys or local tyrants and evil gentry in Taigu County who want to force Su Jiuer to be his wife, then he can naturally take action to settle it, and then he can exaggerate. Lou's concern for Su Jiu'er and other things led to their relationship, but now it seems...
Are the people of Jinzhong a little too simple? When you meet a beautiful woman like Miss Su, how can there be no one who is ignorant and considers himself a high-ranking boss and second-in-law?
This is different from the stories Uncle used to tell...
"By the way, I asked you to ask, does Miss Su have any problems with her teacher?"
"No, Mr. Qin is not bad, and his disciples are not bad."
"Hiss... there are no disciples who betrayed the teacher?" Song Jie felt very troublesome: "Is there anyone who is about the same age as Miss Su?"
"There is one, this person is the instructor of the Datong Mansion Militia..."
"Investigate! Just investigate this person!" Song Jie rushed forward: This person must be the type of senior brother who loves and hates, and we must prevent it from happening early, so that he cannot pose a slight threat to the uncle!And you have to watch out that he won't have any unreasonable thoughts about Miss Su, otherwise disaster will happen sooner or later!
"Check... a militia instructor?" Song Jie's younger brother felt incredible: "It's just a militia instructor..."
"You don't understand!" Song Jie said with a wise face: "If you are told to investigate, you will investigate, and then send someone to keep a close eye on this person!"
"Uh... yes."
……
After hiding in Taigu County for three days, Song Jie and the others began to feel that there was something wrong: except for the first afternoon, the people hiding in the dark never saw Su Jiuer come out of the martial arts gym.
"Things don't seem right."
"That's right, could it be that I was discovered by Ms. Su? A few days ago, Ms. Su went to train those outer disciples..."
"Just found out, she will always come out to meet us, right?" Song Jie squeezed his chin: "Could it be that you guys have been staring at each other, Miss Su has already returned to Beijing?"
"Impossible. If Miss Su wants to leave the division, someone must see her off, right? Unless she leaves quietly."
"That's true." Song Jie sat in the teahouse opposite the martial arts hall, looking at the group of children in the martial arts field from a distance: "Speaking of which, Miss Su's third senior brother hasn't shown up in the past two days."
"Mr. Qian, do you want to send someone to the martial arts hall to pretend to be a teacher and ask about the situation?"
"No need? We want to protect Miss Su secretly, not to do anything to the martial arts school. It would be bad if old Mr. Qin thinks that our uncle is aggressive."
"Then what should we do?"
"Just watch it, Miss Su can't come out?"
fifth day.
"Mr. Qian..."
"Don't talk about it, if there is no movement, let's visit Mr. Qin." Song Jie made up his mind.
eighth day.
"Old man, I'm Xishanwei Qianhu Song Jie..." Early in the morning, Song Jie arrived at the Qin Family Martial Arts Hall with a bunch of gifts, and met Su Jiu'er's mentor.
Qin Youque looked at Song Jie and chuckled, "Hurry up, please come in. This old man thought the officer would come later, but he didn't expect him to come so soon."
Song Jie was startled: Could it be that the old man found out when he was peeping outside the martial arts gym these days?
But before this idea came to an end, Qin Youque's next sentence made Song Jie completely stupefied: "Those children are not ready yet, but it's only been a few days. If Chief Song doesn't dislike them, they can live in the house first?"
"……child?"
"That's right, I didn't make it clear to the officer?" Qin Youque pointed to the group of outside disciples lined up: "I left a letter saying that Xishan will send people to take them to the capital to join the army..."
"Wait, old man, the little apprentice you're talking about is Ms. Su, right?" Song Jie suddenly realized something was wrong: "Where is she?"
"Little disciple returned to Beijing eight days ago... huh?" Qin Youque was also at a loss: "Aren't you from Xishanwei?"
"Yes, but I was ordered to protect Ms. Su, not to accept someone... It's a bad thing!" Song Jie said frantically, "Why is there no movement from Ms. Su when she returns to Beijing?"
Qin Youque was stunned for a while: "Young fellow...he left quite suddenly. He only left a letter early in the morning eight days ago and left."
"Yaoshou!" Song Jie said angrily, "I will be scolded to death by my uncle when I go back now!"
487. Are you cheating on me?
"Recently...do you have something on your mind?"
In the gazebo in the back garden of the uncle's mansion, Hua Manlou who was in a daze was suddenly awakened by these words.
"Huh?" Hua Manlou was stunned, and turned around to see that Wan Cheng Yanran had already walked up to her: "What can I worry about? Is it possible that I still have marriage phobia?"
Miss Baimao smiled softly: "Marriage phobia? What kind of disease is that?"
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Oh, generally it's about worrying about whether you can live a good life after marriage...or worrying that life will be different after marriage and then causing anxiety."
"What's there to worry about?"
"You may not believe it when you say it, but some people are really worried about this, and they are worried that they will be controlled by their daughter-in-law, and they will only be given three pennies a day..." Hua Manlou pulled Wan Cheng Yanran over and let her sit down. On his own lap, he continued: "If you don't let me eat, you don't dare to eat, if you don't let me drink water, you don't dare to drink, and you even have to wash your daughter-in-law's feet.
Wan Cheng Yanran burst out laughing: "Nonsense, such a woman will be divorced even if she marries."
"Don't tell me, maybe there will be a lot of people like this in three to five hundred years." Hua Manlou rubbed his head on Wan Cheng Yanran's chest, and then said, "Why did you come back so early? Didn't you say that you are going to meet with me today?" Are the genius doctors finalizing the draft?"
"A few patients came, and they went to see you, so I'll come back to see you." Wan Chengyan touched Hua Manlou's face: "By the way, heal your heart disease."
"...What's wrong with me?" Hua Manlou gave her a blank look, "I'm not afraid of you deducting pocket money."
Wan Cheng Yanran pinched his nose with a smile: "The root of your disease lies in the west, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to see a doctor. Even if I don't know medical skills, I know that the disease is in the joints. There is no cure. Let me go." How can there be a saying that the disease is in the west?" Hua Manlou was a little flustered.
Wan Cheng Yanran laughed until the flowers trembled, and after a while, she held back her smile and said, "I won't tease you anymore, I just want to ask you, sister Jiu'er, what are your plans?"
Hua Manlou was a little embarrassed: "She...what can I plan? She is a guard I hired, she is very expensive, 3 taels of silver only for three years..."
Wan Cheng Yanran just looked at him softly and smiled, and when Hua Manlou couldn't continue, she said: "There are still two years, if she doesn't come back, what will you do?"
"..." Hua Manlou was speechless for a while: "Send someone to catch her, or make her pay back the money."
"So what about the truth?"
Hua Manlou's eyes widened: "Why do you think I'm telling lies?"
Wan Cheng smiled and said, "Because when you feel guilty, you will habitually pause and then look away."
Hua Manlou couldn't go on arguing, and finally sighed: "Actually... I didn't have any idea at first. After all, you see, she is such a big ice lump, right?"
Wan Cheng Yanran laughed again: "Yeah, and then?"
"Then... isn't she gone?" Hua Manlou was a little depressed: "I have been used to having such a silent person following behind me for a whole year, so I am not used to it these few days, it shows that I am used to it." What a terrible thing..."
"Then get married." Seeing that Hua Manlou was still talking nonsense, Wan Cheng Yanran simply had a showdown.
"No, I'm just not used to it, why did you suddenly mention marriage?" Hua Manlou said in shock, "Can't we continue to renew the contract with her after two years?"
Wan Chengyan looked at Huamanlou speechlessly: "Jiu'er is eighteen this year, and will be twenty in two years."
"Twenty... isn't twenty still young?"
Even though she said so, in fact Hua Manlou knew that she was considered an old girl these days, twenty...
It is estimated that it is not easy to marry.
Of course, according to Su Jiu'er's appearance, it is absolutely impossible not to marry, but the fact is that as she grows older, her choices will become narrower and narrower, and what is left in the end is either a crooked melon, a second marriage or a third marriage or Looking for a concubine, wouldn't this put her into a pit of fire?
Of course, a certain brother counts separately, this is a variable.
"That's it, don't you want to renew the contract later?" Wan Cheng Yanran did not argue with Hua Manlou, and continued: "So when is your husband going to renew the contract?"
"This one……"
"Even if she agrees to renew the contract, after following you for a few years, who would dare to ask her?"
"Uh……"
This is another sad fact.
As Wan Chengyanran said, even though Su Jiu'er has been working as a bodyguard, she is actually someone close to Hua Manlou—if she doesn't have absolute trust, who would entrust her safety to a stranger?
And such a person is bound to know many little secrets of Huamanlou whether he wants to or not, so if this is the case, what is the intention of the person who deliberately approaches her?
And then she is such a frozen person... A soul-stirring girl, not to mention others, even most people in Xishan think that this must be Huamanlou's confinement, so whoever dares to beat her will die idea?
Of course, a certain senior brother here has to be counted separately, but if the matter really develops to the point where Su Jiu'er has not married Hua Manlou after two or three years, whether this senior brother dares to marry will have to be discussed separately.
"If you marry her, you can get rid of the 1 taels of silver a year." Wan Cheng Yanran continued to shake Huamanlou's fragile reason with a smile: "Our family is poor, so we can't spend so much money to hire someone to be a guard."
"Uh... isn't this reason too much?"
"After that, your pocket money will also be limited, just three pennies a day, and the money for the guards will be deducted from your pocket money?"
"...When did you become so skinny?" Hua Manlou turned pale with shock, "And I told you that Qiaoqiao is in charge of accounts! No, I have to find a place to hide some private money in a while..."
Wan Cheng Yanran laughed for a while, and then said: "Okay, when Jiu'er returns to Beijing, you can talk to her."
Hua Manlou was confused for a moment: "This...don't be so anxious, right?"
Although Huamanlou guessed that Su Jiuer's departure from Beijing at this juncture generally meant to avoid his big marriage, but Su Jiuer's unchanging expression for thousands of years made him a little difficult to grasp.Hua Manlou didn't dare to act rashly before knowing whether the other party had that intention.
