Chapter 1179: Coming to the door
At noon, Hu Maozhen was pacing back and forth in front of the back of the General Soldier's Mansion, and Er Liu was already outside the city, he came to inform Gao Jie but he didn't come out for a long time, and a girl poked her head out from inside: "The master is here...... Ahem," he said, blushing and lowering his head.
Hu Maozhen suddenly understood, presumably Gao Jie didn't go home for several months and should pay the public grain, he was drunk and incompetent last night, and the two of them can finally have a big battle today, but they are rushing to this moment.
Outside Xuzhou City, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo led thousands of cavalry to approach, but found that no one came to greet them, and suddenly felt unhappy, this Gao Jie is a little unauthentic, just a few days ago in my delicious food and drink waiting, how did he arrive at his place but such a hospitality.
A few days ago, the three of them pulled out the camp from Jinan at the same time, but on the way, Gao Jie led his troops to leave him and Liu Liangzuo behind, thinking that he was just busy returning to the city to prepare for the reception, and only reacted after a long time, the reason why Gao Jie was in such a hurry to run home was because the little eunuch was very likely to arrive in Xuzhou at this time, Gao Jie was worried that the little eunuch would copy his backyard, or be in a hurry to hug his thighs.
If it is to copy Gao Jie's backyard, Liu Zeqing is happy to see him laugh, but if he hugs his thighs, then he doesn't believe it, in Li Muxian's words, Liu Zeqing has invested in Chang Yu, he must take this big tree for himself, and no one wants to get involved, so he hurried to catch up.
But it was still a day slower than Gao Jie, but he happened to be stuck in the meal and rushed to the city of Xuzhou.
However, there was no one to welcome the guests, the two scolded secretly but did not dare to directly lead the troops into the city, this is the rule, the passing soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the city at will, it is like attacking the city, if it is in other places Liu Zeqing can have no scruples, but in Gao Jie's territory he has to hold on, not to mention that the little eunuch is still in the city.
At this time, don't say that you don't dare to enter the city at will, even the soldiers and horses who are like bandits on weekdays are also honestly staying in the shade of the trees outside the city and don't dare to move, for fear of causing something and being caught by the little eunuch's people.
When they were about to send people into the city to report, Hu Maozhen and Li Guoqi brought more than ten people to greet them outside the city: "Don't blame the two adults who are waiting for the late."
That's impossible, Liu Zeqing's face was already dark: "What about General Gao?" β
"General Gao is arranging in the city to welcome the two adults, the two adults will enter the city first to place the soldiers and horses in the barracks, and the Gao adults have set up a reception banquet in the General Military Mansion to wait for the two adults."
Liu Zeqing's face softened slightly, but he still snorted, Mr. Gao is so big, but Liu Liangzuo smiled slightly and didn't say anything, after all, he ate and drank together, and even looked puzzled by Liu Zeqing's attitude.
In fact, it is not a small amount or a trivial matter to entertain thousands of people to eat and drink at once, it is very troublesome to arrange, Liu Zeqing is a guest after all, is it necessary to put on such a score, saying that Gao Jie has a big shelf, and you yourself are not small.
Erliu led his troops into the city, Gao Jie did not come to greet but unexpectedly the Lord of Xuzhou Zhizhou came to greet him, to put it bluntly, he actually came to see the excitement, it turned out that he had to report that there were soldiers and horses wandering outside the city, Gao Jie did not react, and he came to investigate and happened to meet Liu Zeqing and others who entered the city, he did not know Erliu but knew Hu Maozhen, and asked from afar: "General Hu, who is here?" β
"Go back to your yamen" Hu Maozhen said impatiently, and you know that Lord Zhizhou actually gave up his hand and said nothing.
The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Gao Jie is used to it, and his subordinates are also so virtuous.
The soldiers and horses entered the barracks, and Li Guoqi was responsible for arranging the reception, and here under the leadership of Hu Maozhen, Erliu went to the General Military Mansion, and at the same time, Gao Jie in the General Military Mansion finally lifted his pants and went to the front of the mansion to greet him.
While waiting, he looked around and asked the people around him: "Can you see Grandpa Chang?" β
"Just went out the back door with Madame," said the butler.
What the hell, Gao Jie frowned, it's not that the little eunuch is about to slip away, he even wishes that Chang Yu didn't attend to make Liu Zeqing's face gloomy, he doesn't care where the little eunuch and Mrs. Xing went, what he cares about is Mrs. Xing's good physical strength, she just ploughed several times and went out so quickly after recovering her strength.
Hey, there are only tired cows, not ploughed fields. Just when Gao Jie sighed, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo had already arrived at the door, and they shouted from afar: "Brother Gao, you are so big, I almost thought that I was going to eat a closed door."
It can be seen that Liu Zeqing is still resentful in his heart, and Gao Jie hurriedly stepped forward: "Two elder brothers, it's really not that the brothers are deliberately negligent, just because they were drunk yesterday until now, and when they heard that the two brothers were coming, they immediately got up to kill pigs and sheep and prepare wine and food."
Liu Zeqing saw that Gao Jie's eyes were swollen and his steps were empty, so he also believed: "After a long absence, it is better to get married, Brother Gao is so drunk that it doesn't delay things."
"Hahaha, Brother Liu will laugh, didn't he just arrived yesterday, and he drank with the dog's godfather and my righteous brother until the second half of the night, confiscated it, and almost missed the two brothers to take care of it" Gao Jie smiled and arched his hand to the two, and the second Liu dismounted, Liu Liangzuo asked casually: "Mr. Gao, who is the righteous brother, why haven't you heard of it, I will introduce it later."
"It's two acquaintances," Gao Jie looked proud: "My godfather, my brother-in-law, is Chang Yu, the overseer of Dongchang."
Poof, what the hell, Liu Zeqing almost flashed to his waist: "Father-in-law Chang, Lord Overseer?" Brother Gao hasn't woken up yet, talking nonsense."
Gao Jie laughed: "How can you say this nonsense, if it's not true, you don't dare to say it even if you're drunk, you can't hide it, last night, the factory governor recognized the dog as his godson, and recognized me as his brother-in-law!" β
This...... Liu Zeqing saw that Gao Jie's expression was not like pretending, and his heart sank, but on the surface, he was very happy for him: "Really, then I really congratulate Mr. Gao, by the way, the factory governor is also in the house now, let's hurry in."
"Don't be in a hurry, don't worry" Gao Jie hooked the shoulders of the two and walked into the house: "My righteous brother just went out to do some private business, saying that he would meet the two of them later, let's go, let's have a drink first."
Liu Zeqing suddenly felt that the big watermelon that he had been thinking about along the way was suddenly not so fragrant.
What is Chang Yu doing, naturally he went to see his future old father-in-law, for him, this is much more important and interesting than giving Er Liu a pick-up.
Of course, this is also an interesting event for the Zhang family.
Zhang Laishui, who always has to go to the store to inspect on weekdays, has not left the house since sending Mrs. Xing away, and wanted to ask Zhang Biyun something, but the girl only said that she met a few splashy Changyu when she was traveling in the mountains to relieve the siege, and she didn't say much about that side.
His mother asked, "Do you like that son?" β
Zhang Biyun blushed and nodded.
Zhang Laishui and his wife were even more curious, and their daughter wanted to come to have a high vision, what kind of character did this Chang Gongzi make him fall in love at first sight.
At noon, Mrs. Xing took Chang Yu to the door, Zhang Fu had already cleaned the inside and out, standing at the door to greet guests, when Chang Yu got off the car, Zhang Laishui and his family were immediately satisfied, heroic and upright, star-eyed and sword-eyed, and behaving favorably Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's two laughed into a flower.
The first visit naturally can't come empty-handed, no matter whether it is a dowry or not, Chang Yu is a big deal, two gold ingots of ten taels, hired cakes, seafood, three animals, four-color sugar, tea, wine, etc., are not bad, needless to say, these are naturally prepared by his sister-in-law Mrs. Xing, that is, the two gold ingots are also from Mrs. Xing, Chang Yu can't carry these with him.
Sure enough, it's a big family, not to mention that the two gold ingots are already worth a lot of money, Zhang Laishui and his family are happy to close their mouths, and his family is not bad for money, but he cares more about the other party's intentions.
Chang Yu didn't know how Gao Jie entertained Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo in the General Soldier's Mansion, but the Zhang family was extremely enthusiastic and rich in wine and food, Chang Yu had to answer questions about Zhang Laishui, he was well-informed and well-read, and the people at the table who talked and listened were impressed, and even the criminal lady who knew the root also secretly sighed, this little eunuch is really a civil and military all-rounder, no wonder he can be valued by the emperor, and he commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Dongchang to sweep the enemy army at a young age.
During the banquet, Chang Yu said a lot of truths and said a lot of lies, and in the end he almost couldn't tell which sentence was true and which was false, he told Zhang Laishui that young people should focus on their careers, and this time they were ordered to go south to suppress bandits may be delayed over there for a while, and when he comes back, his parents will come to marry Zhang Biyun, if the capital is too far away, he can also buy a house in Xuzhou, so that Zhang Biyun can accompany his parents,
When Zhang Laishui heard this, I want to go upside down, I can't ask for it, so I hurriedly said, what kind of business do you have: "I still have three houses in the city, which one do you two like!" β
In ancient times, blind dates said matchmaking, many times men and women could not meet, and even some did not know what each other looked like until they lifted their hijabs on the night of candles in the cave room.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Biyun is lucky, the two have already met, and Zhang Laishui has unprecedentedly chatted with Mrs. Xing after eating, creating a chance for the two to be alone.
On the riverside behind the Zhang family's house, Zhang Biyun looked at Chang Yu and couldn't help but answer shyly, this guy is very serious when he has someone, but he is bad when he is not there.
"Isn't it dangerous to go to war?" Zhang Biyun asked softly.
Chang Yu smiled and shook his head: "Although I am a military attachΓ©, I am a civilian, and I don't need to charge into battle."
Zhang Biyun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
