Zhurou

Chapter 148
"Since brother Wei has spoken, I will do it if I can't. I just don't know the name of that person, where is his hometown, and what kind of livelihood do he do on weekdays?"

Wei Fangqun was at a loss for words.

How could he tell that he just had a casual glance and had an idea about the beauty of a woman. In fact, the two are strangers and do not know each other, and now he wants to use his strength to find it.

To tell the truth, in fact, she is just a gentle lady, a gentleman is just a good guy, she is very decent and has no dirty intentions, but it just happened to be such a strong word from her family, after all, it is a bit inappropriate.

At this time, he thought about it carefully, and felt that although the woman was accompanied by many guards, since she would come to such a small restaurant for dinner, she was dressed in ordinary clothes and did not have any precious jewelry. high.

Looking at his temperament, it is very likely that he came from a scholarly family.

In the name of his talent, if he really has his eye on it, it shouldn't be difficult to enter such a family.

I hope this woman's family background has some rank, otherwise she will be unworthy.

Looking at the people sitting with him at the same table, Wei Fangqun paused, and said to Zeng Liaofu: "Let's talk later."

But Zhao Mingzhi didn't know that the occasional eye contact would cause so many messy thoughts in his life.

She went straight along Liangmen Street with the carriage, and after half an hour, she finally entered the palace gate.

Pei Yong didn't go in after sending him to Ruisi's gate, but he didn't rush to leave, he stood outside the gate and talked to Zhao Mingzhi in the carriage.

He had been running around for a day, and he was not too tired at this time. He stood upright and said earnestly: "Although you have endured hardships, when have you actually done farming? Too much, carefully hurt."

He said again: "Ask an old farmer to help you watch, don't hold on hard, take a rest when you're tired, I really don't want to ask others to intervene, and I will come to help you when I have time."

Zhao Mingzhi refused immediately, and said with a smile: "I will definitely plant the field myself, but it's just the amount of acres. I really asked my second brother to help me. How can I give you a gift in the future?"

Pei Yong looked at her with a smile and didn't say much anymore. He stood idle for a while, then took a look outside the palace. There is no way, even though you have claimed this matter, if the capital is too late to prepare, there is no need to urge Lu Xianzhang to ask someone to come and talk to me, I will find another way."

His tone was extremely understated.

However, Zhao Mingzhi went on a tour for a day, and although he only had a little understanding of the current situation in the capital, he could also see the long queues outside the grain shop, and even learned from the official that prices in central Beijing had soared recently.

Except for the hoarding of grain merchants, the main reason is that the roads in the north were blocked, and the grains raised were either sent to Xuzhou or to the north, and the di thieves went south that day, taking away countless wealth and grains, and there were countless follow-ups.

Originally, a good woman has no rice, but looking at the situation this year, the spring plowing will soon be missed. Not to mention that the grain merchants want to make a fortune from it, but many wealthy households and gentry in various places are unwilling to easily sell the grain in their hands at the market price .

How easy is it to deal with all these troubles, one by one?

Zhao Mingzhi's heart moved slightly. When he looked up, he saw that the people on the left and right were standing a little far away. He couldn't hear the two of them talking, but he sat out a little, leaned closer to Pei Yong, and asked, "Where is this place?" It's the capital of Kyoto, thousands of miles away from the northwest, second brother has another acquaintance here, can he help, or?"

Pei Yong nodded and said: "There is also an escort agency in Beijing, and I have been ordered and made several arrangements in the past. The most important thing is to open a business and set up a shop. Although something happened later, the idle hands are still there. Looking at it now, I can do my best..."

Zhao Mingzhi frowned.

Being able to ask Pei Yong to say the words "capable of making efforts" is already a bit impressive.

She wanted to avoid suspicion, hesitated, and asked, "But I don't know..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Pei Yong stretching his finger to her cuff and said: "There are many people here, go back and take it apart to have a look..."

He also said: "If food prices are not stable, people's hearts will fluctuate. Especially there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the city. Once troubles arise because of this, the consequences will be disastrous. Compared with them, the rest are trivial things that can be put aside."

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help but said: "Even so, it's not easy to call me second brother..."

Pei Yong stopped her and said: "Since you know how to call me second brother, there are so many 'even so', besides, I have never done so many things just for you, I should have done them, but with you It's enough to be by the side and make a big difference in mood when doing it."

Zhao Mingzhi subconsciously touched his left sleeve with his right hand. Inside was the envelope that he received in that restaurant.

She was just about to speak, when she suddenly heard a dog barking from behind, she was inexplicable for a moment, when she leaned out to look out while leaning on the carriage, she saw several people in the front court drawing swords and cursing, and someone was drawing a gun as a parry. noisy.

That place is where the outer court and the inner court meet, and the sky is getting late at this time, although the light is not very good, with the snow reflecting off, one of them can still be seen wearing a scarlet robe and the attire of a court official.

Zhao Mingzhi saw that there was something wrong with the movement, so he took a closer look. It turned out that there were two groups of people in that place. One group of people in scarlet robes took the lead, and the subordinates held swords in their hands, while the other group led the dog and held guns in their hands. confrontation.

The dog didn't know where it came from, it looked very excited, it couldn't stop trying to break free from the rope around its neck, and then raised its front feet high, first grabbed the waist of the person on the leash, and then made a gesture to pounce on the person opposite, very vicious.

Regardless of the rest, the scarlet-robed man Zhao Mingzhi became more and more familiar - he seemed to be Lu Xianzhang.

Naturally, she was not the only one who saw the person coming, Pei Yong was standing calmly, but now seeing that something was wrong, he strode forward, walked halfway, and let out a cry.

The dog was still vicious at first, and when he heard him barking, he immediately let go of his front feet from the person on the leash, and sat obediently on the ground.

After a while, after a few words were exchanged between the two sides, Pei Yong took the reins and came quickly, leading the yellow dog.

As he got closer, Zhao Mingzhi noticed that the dog looked very docile and obedient, its coat color was not pure yellow, its face, ears and upper half of its front feet were yellow, a few black spots on its back, and the rest of it was white.

The dog trotted all the way first, barking again and again, and wanted to turn around and stick to Pei Yong several times, obviously very excited, but finally controlled himself by force, and moved forward honestly.

Bringing the dog to the front of the car, Pei Yong first called Mu Xiang, handed the rein to the other party, and then turned to Zhao Mingzhi and said: "It's nothing, I saw the dog coming in outside, there was some misunderstanding, it's resolved."

Pointing to the yellow dog again, he said, "This was raised in the mansion in the past. It has a good temperament and is obedient. During the day, I heard people say that the rat problem in the palace is very serious, so I brought this dog here and told it to patrol outside at night." Wei, how many can be caught and chased away?"

Zhao Mingzhi asked curiously, "Do you have a name?"

"It's called fine wine." Pei Yong replied.

"Jewels?"

It just so happened that the dog heard Pei Yong speak, followed his eyes to see Zhao Mingzhi, perhaps heard his name being called, opened two big round eyes, stuck its tongue out and wagged its tail upwards, grinned with four canine teeth, and opened its mouth half-open , stopped barking, let alone making trouble, for some reason, she had a bit of a surly expression on her face like a dog.

When Mu Xiang came over to answer the call and took the leash, the dog showed an aggrieved look again, first rubbed its butt against Pei Yong, and then wanted to lean against the side of the carriage.

Pei Yong said to Zhao Mingzhi: "I just came back to the palace. This place has been abandoned for a long time, and there are not all the things. If there is anything wrong with it, the original palace people can't deal with it. Let people come out to look for me early, don't delay."

He said again: "Just now, Officer Lu has something to say to me. Your Highness should go to bed early tonight."

After finishing speaking, he resigned and left the palace gate.

As soon as he went out of the palace gate, he saw Lu Xianzhang standing outside, and stepped forward to greet him with a few steps.

Then Lu Xianzhang exchanged some greetings, asked Pei Yong what he was busy with during the day, and complained again, and after he finished his rounds, he led Xiang to look in the direction of Ruisi Gate for a while, and finally asked: "I heard that these few days Jiedu personally guards the night in the palace, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Pei Yong raised his eyes and asked noncommittally.

Lu Xianzhang persuaded him directly: "Although it is loyal to do things like this, it is overkill, and it is easy to misunderstand - now that everything in the city has to be done, since I have free time, the next official has a few difficult things that no one else can do. Think about it." Go, or I can only ask Jiedu to help..."
