Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 634: Real Name [Thank you! Goodbye! 36k more to go]

"people?"

Hearing her daughter's hurried words, the woman in the car hurriedly looked outside.

After just one look, the woman hurriedly said, "Old man! On the side of the road."

The woman didn't finish her words.

"Snapped"

The whip in the driver's hand exploded again.

"what!"

At the urging of the driver, the horses in front of the carriage ran faster and faster.

The faster the speed, the more the carriage shakes on the bumpy dirt road.

Kang Zhaoer and the woman in the carriage struggled to hold on to the carriage and finally managed to sit still.

The woman glanced at Kang Zhaoer and shouted, "Old man, what are you doing?"

The driver's voice came from the front: "Girl, don't be too kind. It looks like a person lying on the side of the road. Who knows, there might be accomplices hiding in the dry grass around him!"

"I have worked in the carriage and horse business for many years, and I have heard of traps like this many times! Go!"

Hearing this, the mother and daughter looked at each other in silence in the bumpy carriage.

After walking for five or six breaths.

“Pah, pah, pah!” The woman patted the carriage and shouted, “Old man, what if it’s someone who’s really in trouble?”

"what?"

The driver was stunned.
"Shut up!"

The carriage gradually slowed down and stopped by the roadside. The mother and daughter, who had been feeling a little uncomfortable from the jolting, breathed a sigh of relief.

When the woman lifted the curtain and looked out, she found that the coachman had already jumped out of the carriage.

"call!"

The old driver jumped off the car, looked behind it, and took a deep breath nervously.

The woman in the carriage looked at the surrounding terrain and said, "Old man, it's a bit empty here, and it doesn't look like there are any gangsters."

The old driver shook his head and said, "Young lady, even if there are no bad guys, we still don't know what happened to the person lying on the side of the road! What if there is some disease and we are infected."

After the old driver finished speaking, the two people in the car fell silent again.

Lifting the car curtain and looking back again, the woman in the car thought for a moment and said, "Old man, we don't know whether that person is alive or dead. Even if he is really dead, we should tell the government and have them collect his remains. That would be a merit, right?"

The old driver pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Uncle, please go and check. I still have two strings of copper coins on me. Just consider them as your hard-earned reward." said the woman.

"Alright! I'll go take a look right now."

After a while

The old driver had a thick cloth covering his face. He looked around and walked towards the fallen man, looking back every few steps.

When he got closer, the old driver poked the man lying on the ground with his whip and said, "Hey, hey!"

The person lying on the ground showed no reaction.

The old driver poked again.

Seeing the man who slightly raised his head, exhaled a breath of white air, and then fell to the ground again, the old driver quickly stepped back a few steps and shouted towards the carriage: "Alive! Not dead yet!"

Outer city of Bianjing,

The location on the west side,
There is a city gate called Jinyao Gate,
Outside the city gate,
Two squads of imperial guards were taking over shifts.

After the shift was over, the next squad of imperial guards rubbed their hands and stamped their feet to stretch their bodies, then turned around, breathing out white air, and walked through the city gate into the city.

After entering the city, a group of imperial guards did not go towards the military camp, but walked towards a food shop not far from the city wall.

The servant with ear protection at the door of the food store saw the people coming and said with a smile: "Several soldiers are here, please come in!"

The leading sergeant of the imperial guards nodded and entered the store with his subordinates.

"Grrrrrr!"

The big iron pot on the stove in the store was steaming, and the aroma of broth and cooked vegetables made the guards on duty swallow their saliva.

"Sir, please wait a moment. The broth will be here soon."

"it is good!"

A squad of imperial guards sat at the table, some rubbing their faces and some rubbing their hands, trying to warm up the cool parts of their bodies as quickly as possible.

quickly,

The waiter carried a tray and went back and forth several times to bring a large bowl of soup with vegetables, meat, vermicelli and tofu to the table.

The sofen in the soup is what we now call vermicelli, but the ingredients are mostly mung beans and peas.

After the soup was served, another basket of steaming big steamed buns was brought to the table.

Finally, the servant put a jar of wine on the table. The jar was full of water stains, which showed that it had been warmed up. Then the servant said with a smile: "Enjoy your meal, sirs! If you need anything, please let me know."

"Okay!" The leading sergeant nodded.

Then, the sound of slurping soup could be heard at the table.

At this time,

Someone drew aside the curtain and entered the room.

Looking at a room full of imperial guards, the guest looked a little surprised.

The waiter came forward with a smile and said, "Sir, what would you like to order?"

The guest smacked his lips, looked at the imperial guards who were eating and said, "I smelled your soup from outside the store and it's good. I'd like to have the same as the other soldiers."

After the guest finished speaking, the waiter bowed and said with a smile: "Sir, here is the price of the soup in our store! The soup these soldiers use is not cheap!"

"These are useful. Do I need money?" the guest frowned.

The servant smiled and said, "Sir, the soup these soldiers are drinking contains meat, vegetables, and tofu. They were all sent to our store by the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion in the city!"

"The soldiers can eat it for only one copper coin, but if you want to use it, it will cost a lot of copper coins."

The guest hesitated for a moment and said, "Tell me how much copper wire this is."

Listening to the conversation in the store, the imperial guards who were eating nearby looked at each other proudly.

Two quarters of an hour later,

The curtain at the door of the food store was lifted from the inside.

"belch."

The imperial guards came out of the food store with ruddy faces, burping, and hot air coming out of their mouths. It was obvious that they had eaten very happily.

One soldier walked out and said, "Boss, having a meal like this after work is more satisfying than paying us money!"

A comrade nodded and said, "Yes! After eating these, we will feel uncomfortable when we fool around!"

The sergeant stood at the door and nodded, saying with a little sadness: "But once the person is found, all this good food will be gone! I heard that the people in the east and south are very happy, maybe they can find the person the Marquis's Mansion is looking for, and there will be a reward!"

"Boss is right. I really envy those bastards!" A squad of imperial guards whispered at the door.

As everyone was talking, they prepared to walk towards the military camp.

At this time,

A carriage passed by.

The driver leading the horses in front kept turning his head back toward the city gate and muttering:

"If you're not allowed in, then don't let me in!"

"I'm just a gatekeeper, why are you so arrogant?"

"Yell at me! You guys are still wearing open-crotch pants when I'm driving the car!"

Listening to the driver's mumbling, the guards at the door of the food store looked at each other, and the sergeant shouted, "Hey! Old man driving the cart, what are you talking about!"

Talking
A squad of soldiers surrounded them.

Hearing this, the old driver glared and tilted his head and said, "I say."

Looking at the group of imperial guards, the old driver's angry expression froze on his face. He forced a smile and said, "I'm an old man, sirs, I didn't say anything."

"I don't deserve the title, sir. We are just guarding the city gate." A soldier of the imperial guards who had drunk some wine walked forward a few steps with a stern look on his face.

This action frightened the old driver so much that he swallowed his saliva.

The imperial guard sergeant glanced at the carriage and his eyes stopped at the wooden sign with the word "Kang" hanging on it.

"Is there a distinguished person in the car?" The sergeant of the imperial guards stretched out his hand to stop his subordinate and asked.

"Uh, yes, there is. There is a nobleman from the aristocratic Kang family in the car." The old coachman said hurriedly.

"Hmph." One of the imperial guards laughed and said, "Is it the Kang family that was cheated by their servants?"

Listening to the conversation outside the car, Kang Zhaoer and his mother in the car could only remain silent, not daring to say a word.

Just as everyone was about to laugh, the sergeant turned around and glared at them, saying, "Be careful with your words!"

Looking at the old driver, the sergeant continued, "Which ox-drawn carriage company in the city are you from?"

"Well, I'm from Mr. Tian Xing's place. We are somewhat relatives!" said the old driver with a smile.

"Mr. Tian Xing? He must have some relationship with the Yongchang Marquisate, right?" the sergeant asked uncertainly.

"Yes, yes, yes! The general is really powerful, there is indeed some connection!" said the old coachman with a smile.

The Imperial Guards sergeant took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright! Old man, you should be more careful with your words in the future!"

"Ah! Ah!" the driver nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a while, the sergeant asked again: "From the old man's appearance, what happened just now outside the city?" The old driver who was about to lead the horse hesitated for a moment and said: "Sir, on the road today, I met a young man who was in trouble and fainted on the roadside. You are kind-hearted and wanted to take him back to the city to save him, but the soldiers outside the city would not let him in."

"I know that the soldiers outside the city are afraid of the epidemic, but the boy just fainted from hunger."

The imperial guards sergeant shook his head and waved his hands. "That's enough! If something really happens, it will be too late! You should hurry into the city!"

The old coachman hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, leading the horse away.

A squad of imperial guards left the food store and prepared to return to the camp.

After a while,
"Please wait a moment, sir!" The old driver caught up from behind.

"What else do you want?" an imperial guard asked with a frown.

The old driver smiled and said, "The nobleman in the carriage said that if you have time, please buy a pancake for the young man."

"Huh? Why don't you buy it yourself? Do you have to ask us to go?"

"They are all women, it's really not good." The old driver said with embarrassment.

The imperial guards sergeant looked at the old driver, then turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate. After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and said, "I am really crazy. Give me the money!"

"Hey! Thank you, General."

The old coachman smiled and bowed, then turned and walked towards the carriage parked nearby.

"Boss, what are you doing?" asked a subordinate.

"Go to the shop and get a bowl of meat soup, and let's go out of the city and take a look." said the sergeant.

The subordinate rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, the person the Marquis's Mansion is looking for came from the southeast! Is this possible?"

The sergeant smiled, shook the copper coins in his hand, and said, "Yes, use these coins to buy something, maybe we can save someone! It's just a piece of cake for us."

As he said that, he ordered someone to go into the store and get him a bowl of hot soup.

Then he led his men through the city gate and walked out of the city.

Early this morning,
The weather is gloomy.

Near Xingguofang,
Yongchang Houfu,

Liang Hanyuan,

The bedroom in the main house is very warm.

"call"

A soft snoring sound came from the bed with the curtains drawn.

"Bah."

There was the sound of the door opening and closing.

Liang Han, who was wearing pajamas behind the bed curtains, vaguely heard the noise and turned over while hugging the quilt.

"Ge'er, don't move your waist, I'll rub against you."

Liang Han drooled and muttered a few words in his sleep. He lay on his side, straightened his back, and hugged the quilt in his arms even tighter.

"Brother Diaoche, you should call him. I'm afraid that the young master will be angry if I call him that." A little maid whispered outside the bed curtain.

"Will you not be angry if I call you young master?" came the sound of a fishing cart.

"It's up to Brother Diaoche to decide whether to call or not. I'm going to go make tea for you, young master."

"you."

After a while,
"Sir?"

Diao Che shouted in a low voice outside the tent.

"Sir?"

The sound of the fishing car was a little louder.

"Well?"

"call!"

The first sound was the sound of Liang Han waking up, followed by a long exhalation, which sounded a little irritable and full of regret.

"Fishing car, you bastard, my dream is just about to come true!"

Liang Han's annoyed voice was heard, and the bed curtain was swept aside in anger.

Before Liang Han could continue speaking, Diao Che hurriedly said, "Sir, there is some progress on what Jing Ge asked us to do!"

"Ok?"

Liang Han's expression changed immediately with anger, and he asked in surprise: "Is it the east or south gate?"

"Sir, this person was sent by the soldiers from Jin Yaomen in the west." Diao Che replied.

"Hurry, put on your clothes and let's go take a look!" Liang Han said anxiously.

Diao Che hurriedly shouted to the side: "Come here, young master, put on your clothes!"

"coming."

The little maid who had just spoken walked around the screen and came towards Liang Han.

Liang Han quickly put on his clothes and a thick cloak, then walked quickly towards the front yard.

Walking under the corridor, Liang Han asked with a breeze, "Where are my father and mother?"

"Sir, the Marquis and the Madam are out."

"Ah."

Diao Che glanced at Liang Han and said, "Sir, should we send a message to Jing Ge'er?"

"Let me confirm it first, don't make a mistake, or we'll be happy for nothing." As he said that, Liang Han quickened his pace.

Coming to the front hall,

Liang Han walked into the house through the cotton curtain at the back door. After walking around the screen, he saw several people in the hall.

Seeing Liang Han,

The man who was leading the team put down the teacup in his hand, stood up quickly, bowed and said, "Hello, Liu Lang."

The sergeant of the imperial guards yesterday afternoon also followed his superior and bowed.

When the two men stood up, a pale-faced young man in a cotton-padded jacket behind them was also helped to stand up by the maid of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Well, thank you for being so polite. Please take a seat!" Liang Han waved his hand and said with a smile.

After everyone was seated, Liang Han looked at the pale boy and asked, "Is that him?"

That team will signal the subordinate to speak.

The imperial guard sergeant was about to stand up to speak when he saw Liang Han waving at him: "No need to stand up, just sit down and talk."

"Yes, Liu Lang! It's this young man. He woke up at the post station outside the city this morning. When asked, he said that he came to Bian Jing to look for his relatives." The sergeant of the imperial guards said with a slight bow.

Liang Han nodded: "Where is my ancestral home?"

The sergeant bowed and replied, "I asked and was told that he was from Xiaoliangshan in Wushang County."

Hearing this, Liang Han stood up with a bright smile and said:

"Okay, thank you both! I'll catch a car and send someone to take you to Panlou Gaole, and then go to Qiyunlou next to Panlou to ask the two leaders to accompany you. The money spent will be recorded in my account! I'll give you the reward money later."

"Thank you Liu Lang! No need for Panlou or anything like that."

Liang Han interrupted with a wave of his hand and said, "Listen to me."

"Yes! We will take our leave now." The leading captain stood up and bowed.

"Walk slowly!"

After the fishing cart sent the people out of the main hall, Liang Han looked at the boy sitting on the chair with a smile and said, "What's your name, kid?"

"My name is Yuan Feixing." The young man said weakly.

"So what's your sister's name?"

"My sister's name is Yuanhe."

Liang Han was surprised: "Yuanhe? This..."

This doesn't match the information Liang Han knows.

At this time,

The fishing cart that had seen the guests off to the door returned to the hall.

"Diao Che, his sister's name is Yuanhe, not Qingcao!" Liang Han frowned.

Diaoche said in confusion: "Sir, that is Miss Qingcao's name."

noon,

Quyuan Street,
Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

Xu Zai Jingyuaner,
Liang Han smiled and told Xu Zaijing, who had returned home during lunch break, about what happened in the morning.

"Sixth Brother, you just found out today that maids and servants have to change their names when they enter the mansion?" Xu Zaijing asked in surprise.

"Well, um! Before I changed the name of Diaoche, I always thought the previous one was his real name." Liang Han said.

Xu Zaijing smiled helplessly. In fact, when he knew about this, he felt a little sad.

The reason is simple. In my previous life, when I worked in a company, I heard that I also had to change my nickname to an English name. In ancient times, there were actually some similar things.

"The name Yuanhe is much better than the one you gave, Brother Jing," Liang Han said again.

Xu Zaijing shook his head and smiled.
