Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 26
But at this moment, the sun has almost set behind the western mountain, and the people in the rivers and lakes on the overpass probably have already closed their booths to rest.Therefore, Feng Shen and Zha Wu made an agreement: until tomorrow morning, they will run through the streets and alleys together to explore the wind and visit.

After bidding farewell to Zha Wuzuo, Feng Shen turned to go home.As he walked away, Feng Shen sighed uncontrollably, he didn't expect that such a big case would come out before this job was formally completed.It seems that taking on the experience of Shuntian Mansion is not easy.

Walking, Feng Shen came to the alley where his family lived.As soon as I entered the alley, I saw a woman from a distance who was about to open the door and enter.

Feng Shen saw it clearly, and hurriedly shouted: "Shuangxing!"

Hearing someone calling, the woman shuddered suddenly, turned around, and slowly turned her head back.That woman is dressed in plain clothes, she is indeed Shuang Xing, the servant girl of the Feng residence.

Seeing that it was Feng Shen, Shuang Xing hurriedly said all blessings: "Greetings to the young master..."

"Shuang Xing," Feng Shen said with a smile, "I heard from Xia Zhu that you were sick, why, you got better so soon?"

"Ah..." Shuang Xingxiu frowned, with a little panic on her face, "My lord, don't listen to that girl's nonsense... Maid... Maid just caught some cold, had a headache in the morning and fell asleep... It's not What's the big deal..."

Feng Shen said "Oh", and said, "Since I'm well, I can rest assured... Hehe... Shuang Xing, where did you come from?"

"My lord, please," Shuang Xing said quickly, "My lord loves my servants, and we don't need us to do some heavy work, but I always feel a little idle at home all day long. So the servant girl went to the needlework shop, I bought some needles and thread, and I plan to learn female red embroidery, and when I become proficient, I can also help Chang's mother to sew..."

"It's a shame you have the heart," Feng Shen said with a smile, "What kind of patterns are you going to embroider?"

"It hasn't been decided yet," Shuang Xing wrapped her clothes around her body and said, "It's cold and windy outside, my son has been busy all day, so let's go inside and rest."

Feng Shen nodded, and was about to raise his foot to step over the threshold. When he raised his leg, his toes deliberately pinched on the threshold.Immediately afterwards, he tilted his body and was about to slip away.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, he grabbed Feng Shen, and with another push, Feng Shen's body stood firmly.

When Feng Shen stood still, Shuang Xing hurriedly asked, "My lord was shocked, are you not hurt?"

"No hindrance, no hindrance," Feng Shen waved his hand and slapped his body a few times, "Shuang Xing, I didn't expect you, a delicate woman, to have such strength."

Shuang Xing was startled, and said hastily: "The servant girl has been doing some rough work since she was a child... As time goes by... Naturally, she will gain some stupid strength..."

Feng Shen was noncommittal, pointing to the pair of apricot feet and said: "I didn't pay attention to it before, I didn't expect you to have a pair of natural feet."

"Master, you made fun of me," Shuang Xing blushed, her cheeks glowing like clouds.She hurriedly pulled her skirt to cover her feet. "Shuang Xing's fate is too bad. My parents died before I had time to bind my feet. When I grow up, I can't bind them... a pair of big feet... always make people laugh..."

As she spoke, Shuang Xing covered her face with her hands, with a sad expression on the corners of her brows and eyes.

"Shuangxing, you're wrong to think so." Seeing this, Feng Shen said, "In my opinion, the three-inch golden lotus and slender steps are not necessarily very good. It's still natural to walk peacefully. If, the money is generous, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than that scorpion-like useless foot? With your outstanding appearance, wait for me to pay more attention in the future, and I will find a good family for you."

"Young master's kindness, Shuang Xing will always remember it in his heart." Shuang Xing hurriedly said, "But Shuang Xing doesn't want to get married, she just wants to stay with young master and serve him all the time..."

"I don't have that kind of blessing..." Feng Shen smiled, looked at Shuang Xing meaningfully, and said again, "Okay, let's go into the room, I'll tell you some good news."

After all, Feng Shen went first, followed by Shuang Xing.

Coming to the hall, Feng Shen told everyone about his work as an errand in Shuntian Mansion, but he avoided the murder case and didn't mention it.After everyone learned about it, they were all elated and congratulated Feng Shen endlessly.

At the dinner party, Feng Shen specially asked Chang's mother to stir-fry a few more dishes and boiled a pot of rice wine. The group ate happily, talked and laughed, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Back in the room, Feng Shen's face sank like water, he didn't pretend to laugh like just now.He sat preoccupied for a while, then climbed onto the couch, fell asleep slowly.

Early the next morning, Feng Shen packed up and got up before the servant girl called.After hastily cleansing his face and washing his face, he found a light gown from the cabinet and changed into it.After putting on his clothes, Feng Shen talked to the butler Feng Quan, and then walked out the door.

When he came to the agreed place, Zha Wuzuo had been waiting there early.

Seeing that Feng Shen came a bit late, Zha Wu Zuo sighed and complained again and again: "Master Feng, you are late again. I am suffering from the cold here, and I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour!"

"Master Zha, don't try to deceive people," Feng Shen shook his head and said with a smile, "You are here, at most, you can only spend a cup of tea."

"It's amazing!" Zha Wuzuo opened his eyes wide and wondered, "How did you find out, Young Master Feng? You must teach me this trick!"

"Let's keep it a secret for now," Feng Shen laughed, and said, "It's not too late to talk about it later. Alright, Mr. Cha, you and I are on business, so don't dawdle here, and go to the overpass."

"Look at your experience," Zha Wu tightened his collar, and said, "You have to assist in the trial, do the autopsy, and arrest the thief...one person does the work of three people at the same time. Let me tell you, you have to Go to the adults to discuss it, see if you can get a few more rates... Hahaha..."

The two were talking, and a person came from a distance.When the man saw Feng Shen, he hurriedly shouted: "Yo? Young Master Feng got up early today? I didn't expect to meet him here!"

Feng Shen turned around, saw the person coming, clasped his fists and said, "Master Zeng is really everywhere. You usually take that mynah with you when you walk around, why are you empty-handed now?"

"Oh, don't mention it..." Third Master Zeng sighed, "It was so easy to tame that mynah, but I didn't expect a wild cat to drag it out of the cage and chew it... Young Master Feng, let's not talk about this Son, as soon as I said it, there was nothing in my heart..."

Saying that, the eye sockets of Third Master Zeng were really red, and he hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe it off.

"Isn't it just a plaything?" Feng Shen persuaded, "With the family background of the third master, what good bird can't be bought?"

"Master Feng has never raised birds, so how could he know the pain in my heart..." Third Master Zeng shook his head and said, "Yes! Let's not mention it... Eh? I said Master Feng, listen People say, are you now the experience of the Shuntian Mansion?"

"Yo," Feng Shen said with a smile, "I really haven't mentioned this matter to outsiders, but the third master is well informed, hahaha..."

"Look at what Young Master Feng said!" The Third Master Zeng pretended to be sullen, avoiding the important and lightening, "Brother, can I be regarded as an outsider? Young Master Feng, I have to blame you for this matter. Anyway, you should notify your brother in advance. Just a word, let's do it, when I'm free, I'll serve 'Heguan wine' on the table, and we brothers will have a good time. Well... there's something else at home... so I won't bother you two, Let's meet again some other day!"

After Zeng San finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Feng Shen and Zha Wu, then wriggled his fat body and hurried away.

Looking at Third Master Zeng who was going away, Cha Wu made a puzzled question: "Master Feng, who is this person?"

"Although his name is not very famous," Feng Shen said with a smile, "but when you mention his great-grandfather, Master Zha will definitely know about it."

"Oh?" Zha Wuzuo was taken aback, "Who is it?"

Feng Shen replied: "It's the nine commanders 'Zeng Tietong'."

"Zeng Tietong?" Zha Wu pondered for a while before he understood, "Master Feng...you are talking about Master Zeng Guoquan who surrounded Anqing and destroyed Jinling?"

"Exactly," Feng Shen laughed again, "How about Mr. Cha? He has a big background, right?"

"It's really not small!" Zha Wuzuo slapped his thigh and said, "Is Zeng Tietong still worth it? After all, he is also a big man who has been named the first-class Wei Yibo and the governor of Liangjiang! His ability is not inferior to his brother Wen Zhenggong. ..."

"Compared to establishing a stable state, cultivating one's moral character and studying, he is still a little inferior to Zeng Wenzhenggong," Feng Shen said. "If you talk about marching troops, attacking cities and looting land, he is still a bit better than his brother."

"That makes sense," Zha Wuzuo nodded. "When it comes to those who are desperate to fight, Zeng Tietong is really one of them. I think that when the hair was growing up, those Eight Banners Army and Green Battalion soldiers were not all If it wasn't for the Zeng brothers practicing 'Xiangyong', then Hong Yang's rebels would have attacked our Sijiu City long ago!"

"Master Zha knows all about these old things." Feng Shen smiled.

"Hey," Zha Wu laughed, and suddenly acted mysteriously, "To tell you the truth, Master Feng said that when my father was alive, he served as a battalion officer of the Hunan Army Navy under the command of Peng Yulin and Peng Yulin. So, for that matter , I understand somewhat."

"Oh? There is such a thing? Think of Peng Yulin, handsome Xue, who said, 'You can't lose to Zhou Gongjin in water battles, and you can't lose to Su Dongpo in poetry and painting.' He is also a famous character with a literary and military strategy, and he is upright!" Feng Shen praised, "I can't think of your father. , to have served such a high virtuous man!"

"Alas...it's a pity that it's still not as good as that Zeng Sanye..." Zha Wuzuo sighed, "If we also have an ancestor who was a governor...we won't have to run these drudgery jobs in the winter, learn early People are walking around like that to tease the birds..."

Seeing that Zha was frustrated, Feng Shen hurriedly joked: "So, is Mr. Zha jealous?"

"Isn't it?" Zha Wuzuo didn't deny it, and said sourly, "If we can switch sides with that Third Master Zeng, then the rest of our life won't just be merry and merry?"

"That's not necessarily the case," Feng Shen shook his head, and said, "Throughout the ages, there have been fewer dilapidated families? If their intentions were not right and they fell into evil ways, no matter how thick the lingering shadow of their ancestors was, they might not be able to protect them."
