Chapter 18 Granny Yu

It was very lively when we arrived in Suzhou. There were Zhou Ming, who used to live there, Qiu Fengyan who came later, and Liu Bucai who came to "Juan Mengmeng" in Jinchangzhan. Concentrate on Hu Xueyan and listen to his orders. "Seventh sister! You are the first group with Ah Tu. When you see the third mother-in-law, first say hello to us, and then go to visit her. If she asks: Why didn't you go with you? Just say that you are afraid that she will think we are taking the liberty of not seeing you. Then Ask her, can I go to see her tomorrow morning? If she agrees, you can send Ah Tu back to inform."

"I see. Uncle," Qi Gu's grandmother asked, "the third mother-in-law will definitely ask, why do you want to see her, what should I say?" "You just said that we couldn't find Mr. Yu, so we had to come to see the third mother-in-law. If she asks Mr. Yu, what's the matter? You just say you don't know, but there is absolutely no malice." "Okay, I understand." Grandma Qigu finished and left immediately with Ah Tu. "Old Zhou! You go to the temple immediately, and make me a seventh-rank suit! From top to bottom, I need a full set."

"Ah!" Qiu Fengyan said, "I didn't bring a robe either." "That's easy, we have two bodies." After Zhou Zhouming left, Hu Xueyan said to Liu Bucai, "Third Master, it's your job now! Take more money with you and go to the city to Huajialiu Lane." Let's go, pick the best place to 'open the plate', and be a rich customer!" "It's good for you!" Fu Rong complained first, "I won't ask Third Uncle to do good things when I arrive." "Good things and bad things, don't talk about them!" Liu Bucai asked, "What is this for? You said it, I know it well."

"It's for a good treat in a few days." Hu Xueyan said, "I heard that Yu Wucheng is an 'old white minister', who is proficient in whoring, gambling and eating, and is proficient in style. When he comes, I will hand him over to you!" "That said, I'm on the right track! Don't worry, don't worry, when he comes, I'll greet him and make sure he's obedient!" After speaking, Liu Bucai happily left. After dispatching troops and generals, Hu Xueyan smiled and said to Fu Rong and Qiu Fengyan, "I have nothing to do today, where should we go for a stroll?"

"Forget it, forget it!" Qiu Fengyan said, "It's not too late to go shopping after the matter is settled." "Huh!" Hu Xueyan asked, "You've always been someone who doesn't worry about the sky falling, why don't you feel relieved this time?" "That moment, this moment!" Qiu Fengyan said, "I've thought about this matter thoroughly. It's not all about the world. There are long hairs caught in it. I'm afraid Mr. Yu can't help himself!" When Hu Xueyan said this, he suddenly said, "Your words are right, you must guard against them!" He thought for a while and said, "It's not too late, write a letter to Songjiang as soon as possible. Old Qiu, you write!"

This is Qiu Fengyan's duty-bound matter. While moving out the Four Treasures of the Study in person, he asked Hu Xueyan, how to write this letter? In the letter, I ask the old man, when Yu Wucheng arrives in Songjiang, he must try to find out what kind of agreement he made with Lai Hanying, and how did he plan to do it?And the most important one, is Yu Wucheng acting like he can't help himself under Lai Hanying's coercion? As soon as he finished writing the letter, Ah Tu had already returned to the inn. He ran out of breath and said, "Grandma Seven told me to come back quickly and inform that the grandson of the third mother-in-law is coming to pay a visit soon. He is a 'master'."

Among the military officers of the Green Camp, there are the titles of "Chief General" and "General Manager", and they are low-level military officers. Therefore, when the common people see the soldiers of the Green Camp, they all respectfully call them "Master." , Naturally, he is willing to meet him, which is worthy of joy. "Okay, I see." He thought for a while, and thought that Ah Tu was useless in Suzhou, so he just sent him back to deliver the letter, "Ah Tu, I'm tired of you going back to Songjiang immediately, and take this letter to the old man. You and the old man Said, as soon as the matter discussed in the letter comes to fruition, please write back to me immediately. I will trouble you a little bit more.” As he spoke, he called Fu Rong again, took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him as a gift.

At this moment, the staff of Jinchangzhan brought in a military officer, followed by four horses.Looking at this style, it doesn't look like "Master".Hu Xueyan had sharp eyes, and quickly said to Qiu Fengyan, "It's a crystal top." Wearing a crystal on top, he is a fifth-rank official. Qiu Fengyan said in a low voice, "Ah! It's the defense. Worse, it seems impolite to receive an interview in plain clothes." The faux pas is irreparable, I saw that the clerk had already held up the name card, and sang in a drawn out voice: "Master Yu!" Qiu Fengyan is more familiar with official etiquette. He pulled Hu Xueyan, opened the door curtain, walked squarely, and greeted the outer room. He saw "Master Yu" standing outside the door with Ma Bian, then he looked away and looked from the clerk's hand. Li took a look at the famous post, and it said: "Shiwan Yu Shaowu pays homage." Needless to say, it is Yu Wucheng's son.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it! Please stand in the way of Mr. Yu for us. You are next to the guest and you don't bring your official uniform. Don't dare to be insulting!" Before the clerk answered, Yu Shaowu had already stepped in, put down the horseshoe sleeves with a wave of both hands, and greeted him.Although the grades of military officials are worthless, they are deserved, so both Hu Xueyan and Qiu Fengyan feel quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Yu Shaowu didn't mention his official rank but his friendship. He stood up and said, "Two old uncles!" , If you have any orders, just tell Shaowu."

"Yes, yes!" Qiu Fengyan cupped his hands and replied, "Brother Shi, please sit down and talk first. My surname is Qiu, this is brother Xueyan!" They met each other again and sat down to chat. Qiu Fengyan asked about "fame" in the officialdom, and only then did he know that Yu Shaowu was a martial arts scholar.Knowing that he is a member of the Cao gang, and seeing that he is outstanding in appearance and dexterous in speech, the Superintendent Biao Zhongjun specially reported him to the governor, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and appointed him as a "Titang official" who was stationed in the capital to handle the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang. Memorial submission matters.Recently, I am asking for leave to return home to visit relatives, and there is still a month's stay.

"It turns out that brother was born in Kejia! It's really disrespectful." Qiu Fengyan raised his thumb, "Heroes are born as teenagers. Now is also the time for heroes. The future is bright, so we can congratulate you." After the pleasantries came to an end, Yu Shaowu reiterated his intention to come and ask for instructions.This is about seriousness, Qiu Fengyan winked and asked Hu Xueyan to answer. "I have something to ask my father. I came here to ask the third mother-in-law just because my father's whereabouts are uncertain." Hu Xueyan said, "It's too late for me to speak up. I want to bother my elder brother to go back and report to my grandmother. Brother Qiu and I will make an appointment tomorrow morning. When we come to pay our respects, we must ask the third mother-in-law to allow us juniors to have a chance to appeal." "I really don't dare to do it." Yu Shaowu stood up and replied, "My grandmother said that she is living in Suzhou now, and she is also living under the fence of others. I am afraid that the reception will be slow and I dare not bother you. If you have something to say, please ask at this time." "This is the third mother-in-law who is sympathetic to our juniors. As a junior, you must know how to respect the elderly and respect the virtuous." Hu Xueyan said again, "I am like a brother to Songjiang Youwu Brother. He should not be treated as someone outside my 'threshold'. Family, is there any reason for us not to go to ask the third mother-in-law? It must be like this, and we will arrive at the mansion early tomorrow morning. Although we have something to appeal, we will never let the old man worry about it, please rest assured!" Hearing this, Yu Shaowu had no choice but to reply: "Then tomorrow morning, I will wait for the arrival of the two old uncles!" After speaking, please say goodbye.Hu Xueyan and Qiu Fengyan sent out the gate of the inn, and developed rewards for four horses. Seeing the guests riding away on horseback, the two started talking at the gate. "I didn't expect Yu Wucheng to have such a good son!" Hu Xueyan said in admiration, "There is such an old lady who can protect him from the wind and rain. I really envy his blessing." "Don't gossip." Qiu Fengyan was familiar with all kinds of officialdom, and reminded Hu Xueyan, "To see the third mother-in-law tomorrow, there should be some serious etiquette. According to my opinion, the third mother-in-law must be a feudal wife." "Oh!" Hu Xueyan remembered that since he donated the official position, he has always wanted to ask for a seal for his parents. "Old Qiu, I was about to ask you, how to ask for this scripture?" "Go inside and talk." Going back inside, leaving the matter of the Yu family aside, Qiu Fengyan explained in detail the canon, according to the provisions of the "Huidian", civil and military officials above the third rank are granted three generations, wives, parents, and grandparents; from seventh to fourth ranks, two generations are granted, wife and parents; The eighth and ninth ranks only confer titles on wives, and if you are not in the stream, you can't talk about conferring a ceremony. In order to fulfill his filial piety, the son of man gave up his wife's seal and asked to change it to seal the master, which is called "seal". Therefore, officials of the third rank and above can ask for the seal of great-grandparents, and the ranks of seven to four can ask for the seal of grandparents.In the case of Yu's family, Yu Shaowu must have asked for a ceremony for the third mother-in-law. "Fengdian is also a famous weapon of the imperial court. It was very cautious in the past, but it has been abused since the rise of the army. Just like donating officials, Fengdian can also be donated." "Oh," Hu Xueyan was more interested, "How to donate the Fa?" "Bai Ding is not allowed to donate. If you have an official position, you can increase the level of donation." "That's good! How much does it cost to donate 'Mrs. Yipin'?" Qiu Fengyan smiled, "Mrs. Yipin can't donate. There is also a restriction on donating with grades. For example, Yu Shaowu is a fifth grade. He can donate a 'three grade lady' for his grandmother." He paused and said, "Tomorrow When we go to see her, we must wear official uniforms and kowtow. Although this is not mentioned in the etiquette book, it should be compared with the etiquette for subordinates meeting superior officials!" "Not only do we have to pay big respects," Hu Xueyan said, "People in the Jianghu are the most concerned about face. I also want to give this old lady a big compliment. For example, we borrowed a pair of 'guizi' to make her house lively, Can you see it?" "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too vulgar. As long as you don't care about people laughing behind your back, I can borrow it." "Which one do you borrow?" "Of course it was borrowed from the county magistrate. Sun Daling of Wu County is familiar with me. If you want to borrow his guide, you will definitely be able to borrow it. However, if her house is too small or the alley is too narrow, it will be full , making the host feel uncomfortable, that's not good." "That's the same thing. We'll talk about it when Lao Zhou comes back." Zhou Yiming hadn't come yet, but Grandma Qigu turned back from Yu's house. She was ordered by the third mother-in-law of Yu to pick up Furong for a meeting.According to what she told Hu Xueyan, the third mother-in-law Yu was suspicious at first, thinking that her son had some disputes with Zhejiang officials, and specially sent two "officials" to "handle the case."Later, when Yu Shaowu went back and said that Hu Xueyan's statement was mentioned, she would never be "worried and embarrassed", only then did he realize that they came here without malice. "The third mother-in-law heard me mention Aunt Fu Rong, and she said: 'According to the rules, since the two of them came here especially for Wu Cheng, they are our distinguished guests, and they should do what the landlord should do. It’s a junior. I had no choice but to invite Aunt Hu’s wife here first, which is considered a host.” Uncle, I think the intention of the third mother-in-law is very sincere, so let Auntie Furong go for a walk.” Hu Xueyan readily promised: "The third mother-in-law's kindness must be accepted. In this way," he turned to Furong and said, "you can go play with Seventh Sister, and take our gift along the way." Fu Rong was a little hesitant, she was not good at socializing, and she heard that Yu San Granny was such a "ruthless character" in her early years, she felt a strange fear in her heart.Grandma Qigu saw her thoughts and encouraged her, "It doesn't matter! Everything is up to me." "By the way!" Hu Xueyan also understood her state of mind, "With Seventh Sister protecting your car, what are you afraid of?" "Alright!" Fu Rong finally nodded, "I'll always stay close to Grandma Qigu." "Look!" Grandma Qigu laughed, "Our Auntie Furong is really pitifully honest. Cut the gossip, change your clothes quickly, and we'll leave." While Furong was changing clothes, Hu Xueyan told Grandma Qigu about their arrangements for the next day.For all such ostentatious things, there must be a "praise" person who goes through the needle, and the two parties who have never met before will reciprocate with courtesy, so that it will be in line with the festival.Grandma Qigu is Linglong and Qiqiao, so of course she understands and agrees, and guarantees that both the host and the guest will not be awkward in etiquette, and everyone will be happy. As soon as Fu Rong left, Yu Shaowu sent Ma Bian to deliver a table of swallow dishes.Halfway through the meal, someone came to inform again, saying that Grandma Qigu and Furong were to be kept by Third Granny Yu for the day, and they were staying at Yu's house.All these signs of friendship show that when they meet the third Granny Yu tomorrow, all problems will be solved easily.Now I only hope that Atu can send a letter quickly, saying that Yu Wucheng will not be coerced by Lai Hanying's side, and the great work is almost done! Woke up early the next morning, washed and dressed, Hu Xueyan and Qiu Fengyan were wearing brand-new robes and gowns, and Zhou Yiming was a follower, holding a prayer box, and another servant of Qiu Fengyan, carrying a bag and a red felt strip, followed the sedan chair After that, he went straight into the city and went straight to Yu's house in Tie Ping Lane. The Yu family learned the outline from Grandma Qigu, and they had already made preparations. The gate was opened, and Yu Shaowu was waiting at the gate. When the sedan chair arrived, they ordered the bearer to carry it in, and got off the sedan chair in front of the dripping eaves of the hall. After bowing to each other, Hu Xueyan said, "Please bring the old man out! Let's salute." "I really don't dare to do it!" Yu Shaowu bent down and replied, "My grandmother has something to say, please ask the two old uncles to change into plain clothes and go to the back hall for tea." "Ceremony must not be missed!" Qiu Fengyan said, "For the first time to visit, you must be a 'Tang Attendant'!" After repeated modest remarks, Yu Shaowu said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Then he turned to the back of the marble screen. So Zhou Yiming and Qiu Fengyan's servants worked together to move a grand teacher's chair to the middle and place it in the middle, spread a strip of red felt in front of the chair, and wait quietly for Third Granny Yu to come. Soon, I heard faint footsteps, and saw that it was Qigu's grandma who walked out tremblingly, holding the third mother-in-law of Yu in a neat dress.Hu and Qiu stood up together and stood side by side.Hu Xueyan stared intently, and was amazed when he saw Granny Yu's face. In his imagination, Granny Yu had a reputation as a "hero" in her early years, and she must have a strong and tall body like Shandong women. She was short and small, and there was nothing under the pleated red dress. She must have been a pair of three-inch golden lotuses.How can such a frail woman be feared by countless heroes?It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance. But seeing her face, I knew that she was really extraordinary.The face was wrinkled like an orange peel, the teeth in the mouth were probably all lost, and it was very sunken, but the eyes were still very flexible, looking at the guest with energy, she turned to ask Grandma Qigu: "Who is that?" Your little grandpa?" "The tall one." Hu Xueyan took a step forward, "I'm Hu Xueyan!" he said, "I'm here to pay my respects to the third mother-in-law." "Oh! I'm overwhelmed by these words. Mr. Hu, you must never say that." "Third mother-in-law!" Grandma Qigu said, "Young uncle and master uncle are of the same generation, please sit down so that young uncle can salute Master Qiu." "Oh, and Master Qiu, I don't even dare to be that!" Modesty and humility, yielding and yielding, the third mother-in-law of Yu was only willing to stand beside the chair and receive the heads of the two "big masters", and his grandson kowtowed in return. "You two old uncles, please change into plain clothes and sit in the back!" So Granny Yu, still supported by Grandma Qigu, went back in first, Hu Xueyan and Qiu Fengyan changed their robes, and accompanied by Yu Shaowu, they received the hospitality in the second hall, eight dry and wet fruit plates, and a bowl of tea in a silver tray. Quite fastidious. "I really don't dare to do it! Mr. Hu and Mr. Qiu gave such a grand ceremony, and rewarded such precious things, that my wife really doesn't know what to say." After saying this, the third mother-in-law of Yu turned to Qigu and said, " My ears are not good, please listen carefully to me if you have any orders later!" This made Yu San's mother-in-law a character!She is clearly hearing and seeing, but she explained it like this, in order to leave a step back, and when Hu Xueyan wanted something but couldn't do it, she could pretend to be deaf and dumb, so that she had room to move around. Because of this, Hu Xueyan became more and more afraid to be careless, and wanted to explain his intentions in a calm manner. On the one hand, he expressed that he did not want to embarrass the Songjiang Cao Gang and get rid of the embarrassment of the old man; The conflict hurt the loyalty of Jianghu. These words are really like the saying "needle in the cotton", the surface is extremely soft, but the bones are very delicate.After all, the third mother-in-law of Yu was old in the world and was familiar with the world. She was secretly surprised when she heard Hu Xueyan say "I don't want to send troops to protect my luck".What he said was tantamount to accusing Yu Wucheng of robbing armaments. This is a more serious crime than robbery. "Master Hu, Master Qiu!" Yu San's mother-in-law pretended to be very angry, "My son is really lawless! He has lived to more than 60, and he is really not as sensible as my grandson. You two look at my old lady's face, Don't be angry, wait until I find him to ask." She leaned back on crutches and ordered Yu Shaowu sharply, "Hurry up and send more people to find your foolish old man!" Regardless of whether she was really angry or was acting on purpose, the visitors felt very uneasy, "Third mother-in-law!" Hu Xueyan hurriedly persuaded, "Brother Yu can't be blamed for this matter! We also heard it from hearsay, and we don't know whether it is true or not. It’s not that there is no distinction between friends and foes. Our purpose here is to invite the third mother-in-law to be the master, even if there is no such thing, we must rely on Brother Yu’s prestige to protect us." Hearing this, Grandma Yu's face softened, and she said to Grandma Qigu in a blink of an eye: "That's all right! I don't think your uncle is so confused!" The two of you think highly of me, Wu Cheng should do my best. He is outspoken, and he has offended many people. Every time someone spreads rumors about him, thanks to the two sages, he will never misunderstand what people say. The matter is easy to handle. Please invite the two to have fun in Suzhou. In two or three days, I will definitely ask you two to return to Hangzhou happily." Hu Xueyan heard her words clearly and clearly, and in his heart he really admired Third Granny Yu, so lightly, he cleared away the suspicion of Yu Wucheng's intention to rob weapons.The words came out of my own mouth: "Heard and hearsay", "I don't know whether it is true or not", even if I turn my face in the future, it is impossible to change my words.Real ginger is old and spicy!I was foolishly lied to by her. It can be said that it was the only time I stumbled in this year of smooth sailing.However, this somersault had to admit defeat. "Thank you, Third Granny, we don't dare to disturb you. Listen to the sound!" Hu Xueyan stood up and said, "However, we still have something to say, and we really want to talk to Brother Yu. When he comes, be sure to ask Third Granny to send someone Send us a letter so we can explain it to Brother Yu face to face." "We are all good friends, and we understand everything, so why explain?" Yu San's mother-in-law said, "The three generations of our mother, son, grandparents and grandchildren are grateful for the two people's praise of Wu Cheng. When Wu Cheng comes back, I will immediately ask him to greet the two of you." .” These few sentences are extremely beautiful.Hu Xueyan and Qiu Fengyan were satisfied, but they wanted to leave, but they were held back. "In any case, let our grandparents do their best, and please go back after a light meal!" The third mother-in-law said again, "Seeing the two of you, I remembered that there is something on my mind that I want to entrust." What Granny Yu said was actually an excuse to keep customers.The banquet was prepared long ago, and the Yu family also invited guests, some were Yu Shaowu's colleagues, some were Yu Wucheng's seniors.No matter what their status is, they are extremely respectful to Hu and Qiu's etiquette.Fortunately, Hu Xueyan is good at eloquence, and Qiu Fengyan is humorous, so he quickly eliminated the feeling of restraint, and chatted and drank quickly, which was quite hearty. Halfway through the wine, Yu Shaowu made a confession, and went back to the second hall, where there was also a sumptuous banquet, and the third mother-in-law Yu served as the host herself, entertaining Fu Rong and grandma Qigu.This table is not as relaxed as outside, the main reason is that Fu Rong is regarded as the chief, deeply disturbed and too reserved. As soon as Yu Shaowu came in, he offered wine to the guests first.According to the official, Furong was called "Mrs. Hu", and he also learned the rules in Beijing, pronouncing the word "aunt" as "Yi", which means "also a wife". Respect to "Mrs. Hu Yi", and respect to grandma Qigu, she and Yu Shaowu are childhood friends, one is called "Seventh Sister" and the other is called "Big Brother".After all this trouble, Yu Shaowu took his grandmother to the hall to toast the officials and guests. The accompanying guests present are all her juniors, and Hu and Qiu also consider themselves juniors, so they got up and left their seats together, and resigned repeatedly.In the end, Granny Yu made a toast and said to her grandson, "Shaowu, you have to kowtow to Master Hu and Master Qiu. These two are really loyal!" Yu Shaowu also knew what his father did, if he was serious, it would be a big deal, so he repeatedly agreed to come and salute.Hu Xueyan and Qiu Fengyan naturally refused to accept the headshot, and shunned each other, so the third mother-in-law Yu spoke again. "Please listen to me, both of you. I am this grandson, and now I am also an official of the imperial court. In a family like ours, I can be regarded as an honorable ancestor. However, the family background in the world is inevitably incompatible with the officialdom. One thing I have always been worried about is that I always want to ask someone to take care of it. To be honest, I know a few people in the officialdom. I can see that the two of you are different from people in the officialdom. They really value love and loyalty. So, in front of everyone today, I entrust my grandson to the two of you. I can rest assured only if Shaowu kowtows .” This set of long-winded speeches, other people only think that the third mother-in-law of Yu is very important to the two distinguished guests, but Hu Xueyan can hear the implication, please take care of Yu Shaowu, it is really a plea to protect Yu Wucheng.From this point of view, the third mother-in-law of Yu has a very deep mind, and she will use her official power to deal with her son when she is always on guard against herself.It is not always a good thing to have such doubts. In order to clear up possible misunderstandings, Hu Xueyan refused to say modest words, "Since the third mother-in-law ordered so, we have to accept Shaowu's head with a face." He said, "Third mother-in-law, from today onwards, the matter of Shaowu , just like what happened to my own brother." "Master Hu, what you said is wrong!" Granny Yu said calmly, "It's your nephew's business." "Whether it's nephew or brother, it's only my own business!" "Shaowu!" Granny Yu said with great satisfaction, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and kowtow! You said you want to be transferred back and stay with me, Master Hu will definitely think of a way for you." After saying this, Yu Shaowu knelt down willingly, and Hu Xueyan accepted his gift calmly. There is a lot of promise in the world, and after this banquet, Yu Shaowu's wealth and wealth are closely related to Hu Xueyan.The safety and misfortune of father and son are inseparable, so if Yu Wucheng encounters any difficulties, Hu Xueyan can't stand by because of his responsibility to Yu Shaowu.Third Granny Yu's chess move is really brilliant, but only Hu Xueyan can comprehend its profound meaning. Therefore, he was very concerned about Songjiang's news.In order not to make Qiu Fengyan worry, he had no choice but to let his worries alone, work silently in his stomach, and re-evaluate Yu Wucheng's situation in depth.The more he thought about it, the deeper his doubts became. By the next morning, there was no news. So I asked Yu Shaowu to meet at Wuyuan teahouse, found a secluded place, and asked quietly: "Do you know where your father is at this moment?" "Probably in Chadaijiao, Qingpu." Yu Shaowu said, "To tell the truth, my father has a family there, and there are several big casinos in Chadaijiao. It is a place my father likes to go to. I invited someone yesterday. Divide up and look for it, and there will be news by tonight." "I would like to ask you, what kind of friendship does your father have with Lai? He wants to touch that 'thing', do you know?" This question, Yu Shaowu's face looked very serious, and he replied in a tone almost swearing: "In front of the old uncle, I dare not tell a single lie, I don't know at all. My father will not talk to me. It’s not convenient for me to ask. Besides, I’ve been in the capital, and it’s been less than half a month since I’ve been back. I’ve seen my father twice, and I can’t talk a few words. If I know about this, I have to find a way anyway. My father dismissed it!" The words were very sincere and quite frank. Hu Xueyan felt that talking with him did not need to be as careful as he did with his grandmother, so he expressed his feelings: "This matter is troublesome according to my opinion. Your honorable guest lives in a different place, and the brothers under him They're not here, even if you come out to host, it's just because of people. It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down the mountain. You can't stop with a word. If you can't get out, what should you do?" Yu Shaowu is the current military officer, so of course he can understand what Hu Xueyan said. Thinking about it, intercepting ordnance is no small matter, dispatching troops, how to do it, and how to deliver these guns to Lai Hanying after they are obtained?The government and army sent a brigade to intercept and suppress the office, but how to deal with it?Naturally, there must be some arrangements, but people are not their own people, and if they change their minds halfway, they want to undo the original arrangements with a single sentence. How can it be so easy? After thinking about it layer by layer, a cloud of sadness appeared on his face, "It's not too late!" He said, "It's easier to stop it early. I'll go to Qingpu right away." Seeing him so decisive, Hu Xueyan was deeply comforted, but his calculations were much deeper than Yu Shaowu's, and he pressed his hand and said, "You should not go! Because even though they are father and son, they are fifth-rank military officers of the imperial court. It is easy to let go if you go." People are suspicious. Moreover, as long as your father is in Qingpu, he must have arrived in Songjiang at this time, and you will be in vain if you go." "Then, what the old uncle says, I will obey." "I think I'll go back to Songjiang right away to have a look. You sent a capable person to follow me." Hu Xueyan said immediately, "If Grandma has anything to say, it's best that this person take it with her, that's even worse. Save trouble." "Yes!" Yu Shaowu said, "I'll go back and tell my grandma right away. Will the old uncle sit down with us?" "No need!" Hu Xueyan replied, "I'll go back to Jinchang Inn to cook first, and wait for your message there. I'll ask you to pass it on to Grandma Qigu, and my concubine will trouble her to take care of it." "Yes, yes! My grandma and my concubine get along very well, so I invite her to play in the house for two days. We will take care of everything, old uncle, please rest assured!" "I'm sorry to bother you. I can only thank the third mother-in-law when I come back." So they broke up in Wuyuan and went their separate ways.Hu Xueyan's sedan chair flew like flying, and when he arrived at Jinchang Inn, he saw Qiu Fengyan drinking alone there. When he saw him come in, he stood up and said, "Where have you been? Liu Sanye and Lao Zhou are not here, and I am alone again." I dare not go away, I am extremely bored, I can only drink to relieve my boredom." Although Hu Xueyan had something on his mind, but he was born to be a person who would not express any worries in words, so he smiled and teased him and said: "There is no one who forbids you to have morning wine, why bother to say something?" As soon as I said this, I saw Liu Bucai walking in lightly. When Qiu Fengyan saw it, he took advantage of the wine to make fun of his good friend who was used to joking, "Master, are you happy?" Envious, Lao Hu entrusted you with such a good job. Tell me, what is the scenery in Wenrou Township?" Hu Xueyan sent him an errand yesterday, to find out about women, Liu Bucai lived up to his orders, and went to several houses in a row, and finally visited an excellent makeup shop, where the ruler is a famous flower of Jinchang. "Tell me first, what's Fang's name?" "look!" Liu Bucai took out a "bureau ticket" from his pocket. There was a silver ingot printed on the yellow paper, without any words.Even someone like Hu Xueyan couldn't figure out what his intentions were. "I'm asking about the girl's nickname. Why did you get this piece of paper for us to see?" Qiu Fengyan turned over the game ticket, read it twice, and handed it back to Liu Bucai. Liu Bucai refused to answer, "Look carefully," he said, "her name is hidden on this game ticket." Hu Xueyan immediately guessed half of this point: "Surnamed Huang?" "Yes! It's called Huang Yinbao." "Wonderful! To put it bluntly, it's not bad." Qiu Fengyan carefully admired the round ticket, which had the words "Refined by Beijing Liulichang Rongbaozhai" on the corner, and couldn't help boasting, "It seems vulgar but elegant, but it's rare." "That's right! It's vulgar but elegant." Liu Bucai clapped his hands and said, "The name is vulgar, but the person is very elegant, like a chrysanthemum." "Then you are Tao Yuanming! 'Pluck chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and see Nanshan leisurely'." Qiu Fengyan laughed, "Did you pick flowers last night?" "How can it be so easy, you think they are too worthless." "So if you didn't come back last night, you borrowed the dry store?" Hu Xueyan said, "It's not bad if you were willing to borrow the dry store just the first day." "According to this, you should 'repay' today!" Qiu Fengyan said enthusiastically, "I will eat your 'rimmed wine' tonight! Let me count the guests for you, one for Lao Hu, one for Yu Shaowu—" "Slow down, slow down!" Hu Xueyan interrupted him, "Don't count me in, I'm going to Songjiang soon—" Now it was Qiu Fengyan who interrupted him: "Why did you say that?" "It's true. Let's put aside the matter of eating flower wine." Hu Xueyan paused for a moment, and said resolutely, "Let's discuss the seriousness first."
