Chapter 230: Nanjing, Welcome
Seeing that Xu Pengju was serious, Zhang Zhijie was very moved and said with a smile: "It's just a little thing!" If there is any difficulty, it will definitely trouble you! I shipped this glass mirror to you, and I don't care about the rest! When you bring it, just take the silver back to the capital! β
Xu Pengju laughed and said, "Don't worry, this little thing is still bothering you!" I've only been collecting cash for a while, but I haven't made any efforts, so I'm embarrassed! β
"Don't you know, the fame of this glass mirror has spread all over the south! When the glass mirror first came out, someone brought a piece from the capital and fooled a wealthy merchant, guess how much silver was sold? β
Xu Pengju stretched out a finger, shook it and said with a smile: "Ten thousand taels of silver!" A glass mirror flickered and sold for 10,000 taels of silver!"
Later, the news of the glass mirror came to Nanjing, and he knew that he had been deceived, and after he bought it, he showed off a circle, which attracted the envy of countless people, and was regarded as a peerless treasure. However, this glass mirror is also famous in Nanjing! β
Xu Pengju was talking happily, an elegant carriage drove over, the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a pretty face that was both disgusted and happy, who was not Xu Jiaran?
Xu Jiaran pouted: "Brother, why don't you have a head when you talk about it?" β
Xu Pengju was rampant in Nanjing Wuji, but only his sister was helpless, and he could only touch his nose helplessly when he heard the words.
Xu Jiaran smiled and said, "Little Marquis, welcome to Nanjing!" β
The wharf was crowded with people, and Xu Jiaran was naturally not easy to show up with a girl's family, so she didn't get off the carriage, but just raised the curtain to say hello.
Seeing the carriage over there, Zhang Zhijie thought it was for himself, he never expected that Xu Jiaran would come to pick him up.
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, Sister Jiaran is beautiful again!" When I came to Nanjing, I was going to your mansion to disturb you! β
Xu Jiaran pursed her lips and smiled: "Little Marquis, don't be in a hurry to say good things first!" I have prepared two residences, where to live, I have to see the sincerity of the little marquis! β
Sincerity? What sincerity? Zhang Zhijie was a little dumbfounded, how can it be regarded as sincere, Zhang Zhijie has no bottom in his heart.
Xu Jiaran saw Zhang Zhijie's somewhat nervous expression, squinted his eyes and smiled: "The glass mirror that the little marquis sent earlier, Jiaran is very grateful. But Jia Ran heard that there seems to be a kind of dressing mirror, and Sister Jiaying is very preciousγγγγγγ β
It turned out that he was referring to this, Zhang Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was prescient and brought twenty dressing mirrors.
The Duke of Wei stayed in a prosperous place like Nanjing, and its power may not be as powerful as the British Mansion in the capital, but in terms of wealth, it is definitely excessive. Therefore, Xu Jiaran rarely has rare things that he can't get.
Hearing Zhang Zhijie say that he brought twenty dressing mirrors, he immediately looked excited and said with a smile: "Please go to the house to rest, my brother has prepared a beautiful courtyard for you early!" β
With 300 firearms and more than 200 brocade guards, this team is mighty and immense, attracting the attention of the capital. Coupled with the retinue of more than 100 Wei Guogongfu in front, this team is indeed large enough.
Xu Pengju rode on a tall horse, there was no one in Nanjing who didn't know him, seeing that it was the little overlord of Nanjing, although he was a little confused about such a huge team, but he could accept it, after all, the Wei Mansion was not an ordinary family.
Zhang Zhijie sat in a special carriage made by Fusi in Nanzhen, which was similar to the carriage that Zhu Houzhao rode in during the assassination case, and had a strong defensive function.
Outsiders don't know that the protagonist of this trip is not Xu Pengju riding a tall horse, but Zhang Zhijie, who sat in the carriage and did not show up.
But on a restaurant that the team passed, a man dressed in black, veiled, and graceful sitting by the window, elegantly lifted the corner of the veil to drink, and saw the mighty team outside, and his eyes, which were originally hazy, instantly brightened like stars.
Although she had already heard the report of her subordinates, seeing this mighty team at this time, the woman in black still couldn't hide her excitement, and her cherry lips under the veil bloomed with a graceful arc.
The woman in black muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "Little Marquis, you are finally here!" Nanjing, welcome! β
Such a mighty team is bound to cause a sensation in the city, but I don't know if I can catch a fish, in fact, everything is Zhang Zhijie's speculation, and the only thing that can be corroborated is that there are many people from the rivers and lakes who came to Nanjing secretly.
The mighty team came to the Wei Mansion, Zhang Zhijie got off the carriage, only to find that it was the main gate of the Wei Mansion, in order to welcome Zhang Zhijie, the Wei Mansion was opened.
Zhang Zhijie was a little stunned, the opening of the middle door represents the face of the Duke of Wei, it is not what Xu Pengju can do, and the old Duke must speak in person.
Although Zhang Zhijie went south is the emperor's intention, the glass mirror is a private matter, and the investigation and prosecution of the assassination fugitive is a secret purpose, so on the surface, Zhang Zhijie only represents him personally.
Although Zhang Zhijie is deeply trusted by the emperor, compared to the old prince, after all, he is a junior, and he can let the old prince open the door for him, which really makes Zhang Zhijie very embarrassed.
Xu Pengju was a little stunned when he saw Zhang Zhijie, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhijie, please, the old man is waiting for the elder brother inside!" β
Zhang Zhijie hurriedly waved his hand and said: "After all, I am a junior, how can this be made!" I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it! I went in through the side door to visit my grandfather. β
When I saw Zhang Zhijie in the capital, he had a calm and calm demeanor, and it was rare to see him embarrassed, but Zhang Zhijie's appearance also showed that the Wei Mansion still had a very important position in Zhang Zhijie's heart, and Xu Pengju was very happy in his heart.
Xu Pengju smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're a guest from afar! This is what the old man personally ordered! Don't let down the old man's grand intentions! The old man often praises you! β
Xu Jiaying did not walk from the main gate, nor did she get off the carriage, but the groom drove the carriage to the side door, and when she saw Zhang Zhijie there to excuse herself, she lifted the curtain and smiled: "Little Hou Ye, when will you also be a mother-in-law!" My grandfather is still waiting! Just get in there! β
was told by Xu Jiaying that he was his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhang Zhijie was a little embarrassed, and it would be hypocritical to refuse, and he smiled and stepped into the gate of the Wei Mansion with Xu Pengju.
Seeing Zhang Zhijie and his brother entering, Xu Jiaran lowered the curtain and the carriage slowly entered the house.
It didn't take long for the city of Nanjing to spread that Wei Guogong had a young distinguished guest. Xiaobawang took hundreds of servants to greet him at the dock in person, and the distinguished guest actually brought hundreds of elite soldiers to escort him.
The Duke of Wei's Mansion opened the door to welcome this young guest in!
