Chapter Fifty-Three: The South Wind Knows My Meaning 7

"Will General Feng attend?"

Nu Xian didn't expect that she would ask this, but based on what she knew, she said: "I probably won't go. General Feng rarely attends various banquets of lower-level officials in person. After all, he is such a distinguished person and has a busy schedule."

, if you go to all kinds of banquets, you will probably have no time to spare. Moreover, she is just a county magistrate’s married daughter, so she really doesn’t have the dignity to invite the general to come in person. Judging from the various weddings I usually do, the general will definitely do it.

When I receive an invitation, these things are usually done by the general’s two aides, so going to the scene to deliver congratulatory gifts is already fulfilling my duty.”

Staff? Are they the two middle-aged men she saw two days ago?

It turns out that the staff not only come up with ideas and use their brains, they also have to do these things and handle these trivial things for Qin Fengxi.

Jiang Wedao: "I've seen those two staff members, and they look quite similar."

Nu Xian was not surprised. Since Jiang Er was led by Yuzhang himself, it was not unusual for him to meet two aides. He nodded and said: "The two aides of the general go to each mansion, and they are all representatives."

Generals are treated like distinguished guests, and they are very honorable."

It seems that apart from Jing Lei and Ming Feng, the two staff members are also valued by Qin Fengxi and are his right-hand men. If they see her in the future, they should try to fawn over her. Maybe they can give her a thumbs up in the future, Jiang Wei thought.

Qin Fengxi had someone report Jiang Wei's errand at Jin Xique to Mu. Mu just thought he had something to arrange for Jiang Wei and didn't ask any further questions. He just said that the girl was out in public, and she still had to go back every night.

People at home are not allowed to stay outside. Therefore, Jiang Wei is picked up and dropped off by someone personally every day. It is like she comes to Jinxique to work or to play.

No, she was already on her third day at Golden Magpie, and Nu Xian really had nothing to worry about.

She was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, munching melon and watching the bustling people on the street. Star Chaser was fanning next to her, and Jiang Er felt that such a day seemed very pleasant.

She was casually looking at the daily life of these pedestrians, but suddenly she found a familiar figure. She was afraid that she was dazzled, so she pulled the star chaser and asked: "Do you think that big man looks like my father?"

The star chaser also took a serious look and said, "She really does look a bit like the old man. The old man is dressed very well today."

Jiang Lu is a military man and he never pays attention to food and clothing.

Jiang Wei threw away the melon rind and wiped her mouth and said, "It's not just a resemblance, it's my father."

Why did Jiang Lu come to Jizhou City? Is he taking a break today?

This is not a big deal, the key thing is why is he holding two candied haws in his hand?

Isn't he a child again? Looking at his happy face and stupid look, isn't he just like a stupid boy?

Based on intuition, Jiang Wen felt that something was definitely wrong with her father, so she told Xingchai that she would go out for a while and come back later when Nu Xian asked.

Without waiting for the star chaser to react, Jiang Wei turned over and jumped down from the second floor beautifully. If she didn't hurry up, she would have been lost.

As a result, I followed them all the way to Jinlu Pavilion. It turned out that Jinlu Pavilion and Golden Magpie were just across the street.

It turned out that I wanted to enter Jinlu Pavilion. When entering a place like this, it seemed that I had to be a bit more polite to enter.

She remembered that her father had given her a dress on credit at Jinlu Pavilion last time. After returning home, her grandmother Tang felt a little embarrassed after hearing about it, so she asked the steward to make up the money. Unexpectedly, Jiang

Lu was still angry and insisted that he did not want any money from his family. He, a handsome man, could not buy a dress for his daughter and nieces by himself, and why should he reach out to the house to ask for money? He had to abide by the agreement and use his own money every month.

Come and pay back the money.

Fortunately, fortunately, it turned out that he was here to pay back the money. Jiang Wei almost thought that something was wrong with her father.

Just holding two candied haws in my hand...

Jiang Wei couldn't follow her in, so she waited outside. Jiang Lu came out within half a quarter of an hour.

Jiang Wei quickly hid, while Jiang Lu went in happily but came out dejected.

No, coming out so quickly, and still looking so downcast, it could be that I was given a cold reception.

Except for the one named Qiaoer, everyone in Jinlu Pavilion is indeed a bit snobbish.

Seeing her father's dejected look, Jiang Wen felt a little sad for his simple-minded father.

Unexpectedly, not long after Jiang Lu left, two girls wearing Jinluge clothes came out.

The two of them also started eating with a candied haws in their hands.

Is it the candied haws that Jiang Lu just brought in?

Jiang Wei got closer and heard them saying: "Is that man stupid? Last time he came to lend a dress on credit, and this time he came to give our pavilion master candied haws. How old is our pavilion master? How can he eat this? This man

Without even thinking about it."

Another echoed: "That's right, the master of the pavilion asked me to throw it away. I thought it was a pity to lose it. Food is not allowed in the pavilion, so I took you out to eat together. Anyway, if you lose it, you might as well give it to us."

"You don't know, this is a poor man. The last time he came to buy clothes for his daughter, he looked like he had a lot of money and asked him to choose casually. In the end, he couldn't even get out fifty taels of silver. He was embarrassed and lost his family. Why should he pretend to be so rich?

Well. Fortunately, our pavilion master is a kind person and can't bear to hurt his face. Who knows that he is really poor? No, he has to pay back the money in three months. Seeing that he looks poor, he doesn't dare to ask for more.

No, all the toys to entertain the children are here, it’s really ridiculous, haha.”

Jiang Wen was furious after hearing this, and wanted to teach them a lesson, but she held it back, tightening and then loosening her fists.

Jiang Lu is indeed unreliable in his work, but he has a pure heart. What bad intentions could he have? He just lacks some knowledge and does not know how to behave in the world, so he is just a little naive.

But they didn't know that in the corner of the third floor, Mo Yinniang stood by the window and watched Jiang Lu go away until he disappeared.

Back at Golden Magpie, Zhui Xing asked Mr. Jiang Wei why he came to Jizhou City. Jiang Wei only said that he was here to repay the money from Jinlu Pavilion and said nothing else.

The star chaser said: "The elder is really a good man who is honest and responsible."

Therefore, different people have different views on the same thing.

Jiang Wei, however, had no other thoughts and was feeling a bit gloomy. She wanted to go into the backyard to talk to Nu Xian or find something to do.

It's better than being panicked.

When she walked to the door, she unexpectedly heard someone's voice coming from inside, and Jiang Wei slowed down.

It's a man's voice.

Nu Xian is an unmarried woman and has never heard of a fiancé. She does have three or four smart and capable male stewards. She has seen these stewards, but this voice does not sound like theirs.

Although she was curious, she didn't intend to eavesdrop, but she heard the man say: Mr. Liu has given orders that he will arrive in Jizhou City on June 15th, and he will ask for two hundred thousand taels by then...

Sixth Master? He is Qin Fengbei, Qin Fengxi’s sixth brother?

Two hundred thousand taels of silver?

Jiang Wei opened her mouth wide. Two hundred thousand taels? This is not a small amount. What does Master Qin Liu want to do?

Jiang Wan wanted to exit, but unexpectedly she noticed some movement inside.

Without waiting for Jiang Wen to react, a figure sprang out from inside and used one move to kill the enemy and choke him.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei had the time to get close to her and ducked, narrowly escaping. It was Jiang Wei who was at fault and shouldn't have eavesdropped, so she didn't fight back. But the man didn't know Jiang Wei, and seeing that she had just dodged, that man

He then bullied her forward and attacked her lower body. Jiang Wei was considered to be very skilled, but this person was actually not inferior to her, and he used ruthless moves to defeat the enemy.

Jiang Wei didn't want to conflict with him, so she only accepted the moves without making any moves. She couldn't help but shouted: "Sister Nuxian, it's me."

Upon hearing this, Nu Xian shouted: "Han Zhang, stop it."

This stopped the man from continuing to attack.

Han Zhangshi stopped, and Nu Xian helped Jiang Wen up and asked her if she was hurt.

Jiang Wei shook her head and then looked at the man who had just attacked him. He was also a middle-aged man. He was lean, walked lightly, and had steady steps. He looked like a martial arts practitioner. This man looked elegant and dressed simply but still.

Identity. There is shrewdness between the brows, sharp eyes, and bright eyes. If an ordinary little girl is looked at by him like this, she will be timid, but Jiang Wei is not.

Qin Fengbei's manager turned out to be a martial arts master.

It's no wonder that the Qin family is full of generals who know how to wear armor and go into battle. Qin Fengbei is the only one who doesn't know how to use martial arts. Since he runs so many industries, it's no wonder that the stewards around him have to know how to use martial arts.

Jiang Wei bowed to Manager Han and shouted, "Master Han."

Nu Xian asked Jiang Wei to go down and take care of it first. After all the trouble just now, although nothing happened, a girl's house still needs to be taken care of.

After she left, Manager Han asked Nu Xian: "Who is this girl? Can you trust her?"

Nu Xian said: "Her name is Jiang Wen. She was sent here by Master Qi. Master Qi has been busy recently and has no time to spare. Their family is from Qi Master's military camp. Miss Jiang San lives with the old lady in the Qin family. What are the details?

I don’t know the reason. I don’t know if I can trust it. I can report it to Master Qi when the time comes and he will take care of it."

In this case, since he belongs to Master Qi, Manager Han can't say much.

Thinking that the two hundred thousand taels was the most urgent matter at the moment, the two of them went in to discuss and make plans.

This is not a small amount. Nu Xian took the account book and sorted it out and said: "I still have three sums of money that have not been settled. Adding the previous income, I can only get up to 50,000 taels. Now they are all on the 9th.

It’s coming on the 15th, but it’s still far away.”

If it were normal, if arrangements were made early, Manager Han would not be unable to arrange the money. The amount of money is quite large, but it is not much for the Qin family. The problem is that the time is too short.

Manager Han also frowned and said nothing. He also knew that this should be the limit that Nu Xian's Golden Magpie could produce.

He calculated that the combined properties of the other six masters in Jizhou City should be able to collect 70,000 to 80,000 taels, but it was a bit tricky to come up with the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 taels in such a few days.

This time I also need money urgently, and I need cash, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Manager Han took over and said: "In the next few days, everyone should think of a solution. I'm going to leave first. There are some other things that need to be arranged that Mr. Liu told me. I'll leave this to you. You can think of a solution.
