The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 498 Changes
Qing Shu was a little confused when he heard this, "Why did he tell you these things?"

Qingyang, "Brother Jia said, I am the only one in the Gu family who can continue to honor their ancestors."

Qingshu was silent for a moment, then took Qingyang's hand and asked, "What do you think of Brother Jia?"

Qingyang thought for a while, "Brother Jia is very nice, unlike uncle."

Qing Shu pinched the back of Qing Yang's hand, "Then, did he say when his whole family will move out of town?"

Qingyang shook his head, "Sister, brother Jia wants to move out?"

"There are rumors like this, and my sister doesn't know if it's true or not." She smiled slightly, "Okay, I've been tired for a long time, so hurry up and take a nap."

He pouted suddenly, "Sister, brother Yan finally came back, why did he leave so soon?"

"Hehe...he, he wants to send Director Pang to Jinyang City, and he has an errand to do along the way. Come on, don't pout so high, he'll be back in three days."

"Really?"

"Really, he said so himself. Go! It's better to lie down for a while if you can't sleep."

Qingyang just returned.

Qing Shu took the round fan on the table and waved it lightly, recalling the scene where Manager Pang and Hao made contact.At that time, she paid attention to Zhou Boyan's expression, he didn't seem to be nervous at all, he just looked at Manager Pang and Hao with a faint smile on his face.

On the official road to Jinyang City, Zhou Boyan and Director Pang rode side by side on horseback.The entourage followed at a distance.

Manager Pang spoke suddenly, and said without thinking, "Little master is doing well."

Zhou Boyan answered, "What the manager said is that he is well taken care of."

"But entered the family tree?"

"It was entered in the genealogy last year, named Qing Hao, and he is the second son of Marquis Zhongwu." This was beyond his expectation.If he hadn't specifically asked Qing Shu yesterday, he wouldn't have known that Qing Shu had already entered Hao's name in the ancient family tree, changed his name to Qing Hao, and postponed his birthday by two days.In this way, Qingyang became an older brother, and Hao became a younger brother.

"I don't know when the young master will return to Beijing?"

"I don't have any plans in the near future. I'm going to go to the south of the Yangtze River next month." He pointed at the crop fields on both sides of the official road with his horsewhip. , it must be replaced by winter wheat.After the winter wheat is harvested, the farmers are asked to plant soybeans.Not to mention that the winter wheat can be sold at a good price in other countries, and the people of Da’an squeeze the oil out of soybeans themselves, and Chu’s dominance of oil in the world will end, and there is no need to send a lot of money to Chu.

"Young master is right." Manager Pang agreed.

Before dark, they arrived at the posthouse on the way to settle down.Loading and unloading carts and horses, drinking and feeding horses are done by the people below.Zhou Boyan and Manager Pang went into the rooms arranged for them to rest.

Gu Shitou came in from the outside and whispered to Zhou Boyan, "My lord, I don't think it's right."

Zhou Boyan drank a cup of freshly brewed hot tea slowly, "Huh?"

"There are four fewer guards escorting the imperial decree."

He looked up, "What?"

"The little ones have always paid attention. There is one leader of the Imperial Army who escorted the imperial decree, 50 officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army, a total of 51 people. Two young eunuchs and two guards in brocade clothes who followed Chief Pang. There are 12 accompanying officials and officers and soldiers sent by the Prefect Chen. When Kangxi Town came out, there were quite a few people. Just entered the post station, and the young man was free to talk to people and look around. In this way, he found something wrong, and the number of forbidden soldiers was actually reduced by four. There was no reason Four people were killed, but the commander of the imperial army remained silent and did not report to Chief Pang."

Zhou Boyan's expression changed immediately, "Did you find out?"

"Don't worry, my lord. The little one took the time to find someone to talk to, and went through every room. He didn't even miss the kitchen, the stables, and the hut. He went to see them one by one. It is true that there are four people missing. The little one became suspicious." , but didn’t dare to say anything, I checked the number of horses, and there were also four horses missing.”

"Who else knows about this?"

"Only Hong Wei knows. The little one was afraid of missing something, so he asked Hong Wei to confirm the number again. The result was correct with the little one's discovery. Young master, tell me, does Director Pang know about this?"

Zhou Boyan frowned and whispered, "Can you guess when these people disappeared?"

"The little guy thinks that everything must have happened when he stopped to enjoy the cool air and rest his feet on the way."

Zhou Boyan tapped on the table and thought for a moment, "If my master remembers correctly, the leader of the accompanying imperial army is named Yao."

"The name is Yao Zhong." One of Gu Shitou's specialties, although his behavior looks silly, it can make people relax their vigilance, and they can easily inquire or find out some things.

"Which Yao Mansion did you come from?" I hope it's not the Yao Mansion he knows.

"Yao Zhong was born in the famous Yao Mansion, and he is the great-grandson of the offshoot of Mr. Yao's grand master."

Zhou Boyan immediately thought of something, and his expression became condensed, "Pang, please come and explain. No, it's better for me to go over. Don't say anything about it. You and the chief guard pretend that you don't know."

Gu Shitou said yes, and stepped aside.

Zhou Boyan calmed down, feeling that there was nothing unusual in his expression, so he got up and went to Manager Pang's room.

Manager Pang is indeed tired from the exhausting journey in the past few days.He is currently laying down on the bed to rest.Hearing the rumors, he immediately got up and tidied up his appearance, and felt that it was appropriate to come out to meet people in person. "My lord, please come in quickly."

Zhou Boyan didn't intend to enter the room, and said with a smile, "Drinking tea alone is a bit lonely, so I thought about asking the manager to come over and talk. I wonder if the manager is convenient?"

Manager Pang readily accepted, said yes, and followed respectfully to Zhou Boyan's house.

The little eunuch who waited on him wanted to follow.

Gu Shitou grabbed the little eunuch's arm and didn't even look at the frightened little eunuch with a pale face. He just grinned stupidly at Manager Pang, "Mr. Don't rush to go, the little one wants to ask him to play outside, okay?"

People who are almost 20 years old are still clamoring to go out to play.If someone else said this, not to mention Manager Pang, anyone else with a normal mind would despise Gu Shitou who looked like this.However, Gu Shitou is not someone else.He is the servant who has followed Zhou Boyan for many years; it is also the servant who Zhou Boyan not only does not strictly control, but allows him to play around as he pleases.

Therefore, Manager Pang not only showed no displeasure, but let him go with a wrinkled smile on his face.

Zhou Boyan just lightly reprimanded Gu Shitou for nonsense, and didn't say anything else.

Gu Shitou scratched his head, giggled at Zhou Boyan, and then said to Director Pang, "Thank you, Sir." After thanking him, he dragged the little eunuch away.He is a good subordinate of the young master, and his mission is to share the worries of the young master.Leave it to him to pay off the miscellaneous staff.
