Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 246
"Who is coming."

When the soldiers at the gate of the Zhen Beast Pen saw the man approaching from afar, the spear in his hand trembled, and he shouted after showing the majesty of the royal family.

Xue Rulong flicked his hand.

The questioning soldier subconsciously caught the thrown object.

Looking down, it was a waist card.

There is a flamboyant "Li" on the waist card.

Waist badges are actually very particular. For example, how to distinguish between two ministers with the same surname Li?

Just look at the cloud pattern next to the handwriting, as well as the logo and material behind it.

The texture of each family is different first.

Secondly, those who use precious wood are almost all literati.

Most of those who use gold and iron are warriors.

The royal relatives and nobles mostly use jade, jadeite and so on.

The texture patterns behind are also different.Literati like to use vases, deer, and cranes to express the meaning of "national peace" or "high school three yuan".The warriors are tiger heads, or some auspicious beasts, expressing majesty and unyielding glory.

The official in the capital is a third-level official. To serve as a soldier in Luoyang City, the first thing you need to understand is these unspoken rules.

The lines next to the word "Li" are unknown to soldiers.

But this brand is made of gold and iron, and there is still a tiger's head behind it.

Ordinary people don't throw their badges in front of the garrison soldiers in this important royal area.

Seeing this, the soldiers bowed their hands:

"Hold on."

After saying that, he turned around and left with his waist card.

Xue Rulong waited for a short while, and a man dressed as a general followed the soldiers out quickly.

Came in front of Xue Rulong, handed back the badge respectfully, and cupped his hands:
"It turned out that Manager Xue came from a long way, and I would have been disrespectful and rude."

Hearing this, Xue Rulong bowed his hands politely:

"General, you are welcome. I came here on the order of Sir Lang. I have disturbed you a lot. Please forgive me, General."

"Haha, where is it."

After the two of them had some courtesy, the general asked:
"I don't know if Mr. Shi Lang sent Steward Xue to come, but what's the matter? Steward Xue, but it doesn't matter."

Xue Rulong nodded:
"There are some things that need to trouble the general. The old housekeeper of a certain family was originally from the Northwest. In the past few days, he was informed by his fellow countrymen that two fellow villagers came from his hometown. One is Zhang Dasheng and the other is Zhang Ersheng. The general also knows , the housekeeper is getting old, and he plans to retire these years, but he is worried that there is no one to serve my lord, and his legs and feet are not convenient, so he can't come here in person, so he wants to ask the two fellow countrymen to sit in the house and have a look. If it is suitable , although this precious animal pen is an important place for the royal family, but in the final analysis...if it can be appreciated by the old housekeeper, it is another way out, right?"

"what?"

The general was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Xue Rulong meant.

The word "hometown" has certain value in this era.

The status of the steward of Li Shilang's family, a celebrity in the court, is much higher than that of the servants who kill chickens and sheep in the rare animal pen.

Thinking of this, even the general was a little envious for a while.

My son is fifteen or sixteen this year, and he just got married, so why doesn't he have such a good connection... Sigh.

With some emotion, he nodded:
"So that's how it is. The general knew about it. Let me send someone to let me know. When does Steward Xue want them to go?"

Xue Rulong waved his hand:

"So-and-so came here today for this matter. Butler Li is still waiting at home. If you're not busy right now, please let me know, General. So-and-so will be waiting for them here."

"Understood... quickly, find those two servants, Zhang Dasheng and Zhang Ersheng."

The general yelled at the two soldiers, and the soldier who had heard the conversation between the two clearly just now ran inside immediately.

And this general continued to chat with Xue Rulong here.

Human relationship is like a net, as long as a thread is found, the two nets can be connected together.

Li Shilang was trusted by His Majesty, even if he messed up a big event this time, he was only locked up for a few days, and then he was released from the lockup and returned to his post.

This is the great grace of the emperor.

And this Steward Xue in front of him is the person next to Mr. Li. If they can manage a good relationship, the two of them can become "very good" friends in the future.

Xue Rulong is also an exquisite character.

Knowing that he is away from home, it represents the face of an adult, so chatting with this general is "quite speculative".

After chatting for about a cup of tea, the two soldiers came out with Zhang Dasheng and Zhang Ersheng, whose expressions were full of bewilderment.

Xue Rulong's eyes instantly focused on the shoes of the two of them.

Look at the style, size, and walking habits.

It was just a glance, and after taking a panoramic view of some features, he pretended not to know anything, and asked:
"Zhang Dasheng, Zhang Ersheng?"

The tone is not warm.

Not too polite.

On the contrary, there is a taste of superiority.

Regardless of whether the person involved sounds comfortable or uncomfortable, the general's attitude seems to be taken for granted.

To put it bluntly, this is not Li Shilang's business.

It's just a fellow villager of the old housekeeper in his house.

Being able to run for him once is enough to save face, but if you go over to have a really warm conversation, then it would be something wrong.

And when he heard Xue Rulong calling the two of them, Zhang Dasheng seemed to be submissive and said:

"This...the lord...the little...Zhang Dasheng."

"Ah."

With a soft hum from his nose, Xue Rulong turned his head and cupped his hands at the general:

"Thank you General, Xue is bothering you."

The general shook his head and smiled:
"Haha, Steward Xue is being polite. Unfortunately, he is on duty today. Next time we meet, let's have a drink together."

"As it should be."

Saying that, he waved to the two of them:

"Follow me....The general stays behind, and Xue Mou leaves."

"Staff Xue, go slowly."

"Stay."

After finishing the courtesies, Xue Rulong glanced at the two of them, motioned for the other to follow him, then turned around and left.

Zhang Dasheng and Zhang Ersheng looked at each other and followed slowly.

After walking about thirty or forty steps away, Xue Rulong turned his head and looked back. Seeing that the two of them kept a distance of fifteen steps away from him, he continued to walk forward without speaking.

He walked all the way to the gate of Chunyou Club, in front of Mr. Huqiu's carriage.

Now, Zhang Dasheng and Zhang Ersheng could no longer maintain a distance of fifteen steps.

Xue Rulong pointed at the carriage:
"boarding."

"..."

"..."

There was only hesitation and anxiety on their faces.

It's like two ordinary people facing the unknown.

Hearing this, Zhang Dasheng cupped his hands and asked stammeringly:
"My... my lord... this is... where are you going?"

"Are you two from Changsong?"

Zhang Dasheng was taken aback for a moment, then his mind turned around, and he nodded quickly:

"Exactly."

"Well, a certain family named Xue works in the mansion of an adult. The butler of the mansion is also from Changsong. After being told by the fellow villagers that you two are here, I want to see how you two are doing. All right, don't talk nonsense, hurry up Car, there is something else."

Xue Rulong looked a little impatient.

His tone was not too good, and he urged the two of them to get in the car.

Zhang Dasheng looked at Zhang Ersheng...the two were about to walk into the carriage tremblingly.

Xue Rulong stared:
"Where are you going!? You don't know any rules, so go drive a car. Could it be that someone is going to drag you two?"

"Uh……"

Zhang Dasheng was stunned for a moment... hurriedly nodded:
"Yes."

But the trace of surprise in his eyes disappeared after he clenched the rein.
