Shu Chen

Chapter 9 Qin Mansion
Entering the city of Chengdu, you can feel the prosperity brought by the retreat and the people.

As far as the eye can see, the streets are bustling with people.

Gongyi, Jiujiaojia, Goutu butcher shop, Wenxuan Mo Pavilion, all the way is elegant and vulgar, complementing each other.

If it is said that "people don't care, cars don't spin, Tiancheng overflows Guo, and hundreds of shops flow by", it is a bit too exaggerated.

However, in front of the star-studded houses on both sides, the nobles and nobles were coming, the merchants were carrying goods in a continuous stream, and the walkers were busy with their hands and shoulders, and everyone's faces were filled with the fireworks of life.

It can also make Zheng Pu feel that this is the preciousness of the seclusion and serenity in Shu.

And Xiao Zheng Yan, who grew up in the mountains since childhood, was an eye-opener.I saw her leaning forward, holding her small head up, and clasping the wall of the deer car with both hands, as if her eyes were not enough, she glanced around tirelessly.

When he sees something novel, his eyes will be slightly opened, and his eyes will be full of sparkling light.

Zheng Pu, who was walking on the side, saw it and couldn't help but smile.

Spreading her five fingers, she shook it in front of her eyes, and sneered and joked, "Xiao Yan'er, don't look at it, your mouth is drooling!"

"ah!"

Xiao Zheng Yan, whose eyes were blurred, suddenly returned to her senses and exclaimed.

Also blushing, he hurriedly retracted his small body into the deer car, and secretly grabbed his sleeve with his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.

When he found out that he was being amused, he straightened up again, puffed out his cheeks and pouted, and complained of grievance, "Brother Zhong, you lied! I'll tell my mother when I go back to Sangyuan!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Zheng Pu laughed heartily, and seemed to feel that the stickiness on his body, who had seldom bathed on the road, was much less.

Seeing that Xiao Zhengyan was so naive again, she couldn't help reaching out and rubbing her little head.

"Brother Zhong, you are still smiling!"

Reaching out and patted his brother's hand, Xiao Zhengyan turned her back to face, and muttered aggrievedly, "Yan'er will ignore you again!"

"Okay. Brother Zhong doesn't laugh anymore."

Putting away the jokes, Zheng Pu patted the younger sister on the back and motioned her to look to the east, "Xiao Yan'er, there is a caramel seller over there, do you want Brother Zhong to buy you a copy?"

"Okay! Where is it?"

Almost without waiting for her brother's words to fall, Xiao Zhengyan turned around to look forward, and blurted out with a face full of excitement.

Immediately, he met Zheng Pu's half-smiling expression, and his mouth pouted again, "Brother Zhong must promise me first, and don't lie to anyone in the future!"

"it is good."

Laughing all the way.

After a while, according to the address left by Qin Mi's son and nephew that day, he found Lu Yan in the north of the city.

This is a place specially designated by the imperial court to build mansions for the officials of the imperial court.

The straight and broad street can be crossed by two four-wheel drive carriages. The gray and white exterior walls on both sides spread along the road, enclosing the undulating hilltops or hanging hills of the main houses.

But under the sky, the roof tiles are lined up in the mountains, the tiles are in order, and the eaves and corners fly into the clouds.

The lintels of the front doors of each house have rough outlines, and on the rafters and lintels with concise lines, Furui patterns such as cows and birds, panchi, white deer and cunning rabbits in various postures can be vaguely recognized.

The nobles and nobles, the first of the official family, do not need to take a close look, but also feel the majestic and majestic momentum.

It is breathtaking.

"Wow, Brother Zhong, the houses here are so tall! Well, they are so beautiful!"

Not surprisingly, Xiao Zhengyan once again expressed emotion for the young novelty.

"Well, because this is where the nobles live."

Zheng Pu nodded and asked sideways, "Xiao Yan'er, do you still remember what Brother Zhong told you on the way, how to do it without being rude?"

Xiao Zhengyan nodded obediently, her voice crisp and familiar, "Remember. Don't stare at others, don't open your mouth, and don't talk loudly."

It is not easy to find which building the Qin Mansion is.

But Zheng Pu also has a way.

When a group of soldiers patrolling with knives passed by, Zheng Pu did not wait for them to interrogate, and took the initiative to come forward and explain the purpose of this.

Therefore, he also enjoyed the honor of being guided by the soldiers.

Although the few armored soldiers who were very eager to lead the way, their hands were always on the hilt of the knife, and their expressions were extremely vigilant.

It's almost that the words "If there is any change, you will be bound and imprisoned" on his face.It was not until the Qin Mansion's sons and nephews came out to greet him and confirmed that Zheng Pu was indeed a bad person, and those soldiers left with confidence.

It also made Zheng Pu unable to hold back his emotion. After Zhuge Liang opened the mansion to govern the matter, the officers and petty officials at all levels enforced the law strictly.

Losing in strictness, but winning in careful and equal treatment.

It is no wonder that since the implementation of Shuke, the people in Shu have all accepted it!

At this time, it was noon, Qin Mi was still working in the public house and did not return. The Qin family’s son and nephew did not dare to hold a banquet on his father’s behalf, but just called the servants to let Zheng Pu and several others settle in another house, so they were sent to the public office. report.

Zheng Pu was also able to take a break to relieve the fatigue of the day's trek.

After bathing, changing clothes, and eating hastily, he dismissed the servant girl from the Qin Mansion, knelt down in front of the table, took out the incense he brought from home, and lit it, with a faint curling wisp, closing his eyes and thinking.

I examine my body three times a day.

He came to the Qin Mansion under the pretext of sending a book and was about to meet Qin Mi. Zheng Pu also had to think carefully about how to meet the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in person through Qin Mi's mouth.

No matter how bad it is, let Zhuge Liang know that there is such a person as himself.

Well, about Qiao Zhou's hype about his talent and arousing the curiosity of the people in Chengdu, he is still unknown to him all the way.

At sunset, Qin Mi, who had been informed by her family, returned from Gongdi.

As soon as he saw Zheng Pu, before he could pay his respects, Qin Mi showed a smile, "I haven't seen my nephew for several years, I don't want Zijin to be a seven-footed man now, so he's a talent!"

After a pause, he added in a sighing tone, "If Zijin can be praised by the Prime Minister as a 'Shuzhong Juncai', brother Heng has nothing to do with Jiuquan!"

Hengzhi is the name of Zheng Pu's late father, Zheng Du.

When Zheng Pu heard the words, he first showed humility, and then he was stunned.

Zhuge Liang already knew me?
Moreover, you also praised me as a handsome man?

After being slightly stunned, Zheng Pu put away the doubts in his heart, and sincerely saw Qin Mi in the homage of his son and nephew, and replied with a smile, "I haven't seen Qin Shishu's voice for several years, and now I can see it. , I hope to forgive my sin. Well, I don’t know what Uncle Shi just said, why did the Prime Minister know my name? My little nephew has been living in a secluded place in Shifang Sangyuan before, and I really can’t figure out how the name came into the Prime Minister’s ear.”

"Hey! You don't know the evil yet?"

Qin Mi, who was reaching out to support Zheng Pu, made a sudden movement in her hand, and was also surprised.

Immediately, after frowning slightly, he showed a meaningful smile, "Could it be that Qiao Yunnan made his own decisions and made a name for you?"

Qiao Yunnan?
Qiao Zhou in Brazil County, made a name for me?
Zheng Pu, who was confused, looked even more stunned.

"Ha, interesting!"

On the contrary, Qin Mi snorted, walked over and held Zheng Pu's hand very closely, and went to the main residence hall, "My nephew has come from a long way, so there is no need to stop and talk here. There should be a banquet at home, I will We'll talk more at the table."

"promise!"

"Ashamed, Uncle Puyou disturbs the world."
