MTL - The Rumored Second Son-Chapter 113 new city
"Officer, you misunderstood, that's not what you meant."
"Then stop talking nonsense and pay the money quickly!"
"Silver, we have it." Guan Yunyu took out a few silver bills from his pocket and placed them in front of his attendants. This attendant was also someone who had seen the big scene, so he just smiled lightly.
"Then pay the money and go upstairs."
"It's just that we are Boss Qi's guests, and he warmly invited us as husband and wife to live in his Qi residence. I wonder if the official can guide us there?" Guan Yunyu changed the subject, moved out of Qi Mufeng, and said something.
"Boss Qi?"
"There are still several Boss Qi in Hangzhou City. I'm talking about Qi Mufeng, Boss Qi." Guan Yunyu took out the address from his pocket and handed it to the attendant.
When the attendant saw this, his face changed slightly, and soon changed his face.
"So it's Boss Qi's distinguished guest. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I hope the official will lead the way."
Guan Yunyu opened the umbrella and held it for Gao Yingmin. The two followed the attendant and walked towards the Qi Mansion, which was not far from the inn.
The Red Wall Courtyard looks like a wealthy family.
The attendants and the steward of the Qi Mansion knew the purpose of their visit, and it happened that the steward followed Qi Mufeng to the north of Chang'an City, and recognized Gao Yingmin and Guan Yunyu, so he recognized them.
The attendant of the Wei family saw that they belonged to the Qi family, and it was not good to stay longer, so he exchanged a few words with the butler, and then left.
The two originally didn't want to get too involved with Qi Mufeng, but they didn't expect that the hierarchical system in Hangzhou City is so clear. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't beat a local snake. For the sake of personal safety, the two decided to follow Qi Mufeng's wishes.
Qi Mufeng is not at home, Qi's other courtyard is very grand, surrounded by green trees, there is a large lake in the courtyard, and bamboo forests are planted around it. The weather in Hangzhou City is pleasant and suitable for plant growth.
The Qi family had many servants. Guan Yunyu roughly counted more than 20 servants along the way from the gate to the side rooms where they lived. Just now, after looking at the rows of servant houses, he reckoned that there were more than a hundred servants alone.
The level of luxury is comparable to that of a royal palace.
The butler found a quiet wing room for them at home, showed them around, asked if they were satisfied, and left.
The steward of the Qi family told him that it was time for dinner, but Guan Yunyu declined, so the steward handed over the token of the Qi family to Guan Yunyu, telling him that if he met an attendant of the Wei family on the street, he would reveal the identity of the Qi family. People will no longer be in trouble.
Thanks to the housekeeper, the two of them rested in their room alone.
This road has traveled a lot. Gao Yingmin lived in the palace for a long time, and he also sat in a sedan chair when he went out of the palace. The delicate Omega was not as good as Alpha.
Although Gao Yingmin didn't say anything, Guan Yunyu felt sorry for his daughter-in-law. The two changed their coats and sat on the side bench. Guan Yunyu put Gao Yingmin's legs on hers.
Gao Yingmin leaned back slightly, leaning on the seat, his legs were held down by this guy, and he couldn't move.
"Miss, you are tired after walking so far, let me massage for you."
There was no room for rejection. A certain person was a man of action. He rolled up his sleeves and started to move. With strong fingertips and internal strength, he relieved the soreness of her calves.
Gao Yingmin gritted his teeth slightly, and when Guan Yunyu's fingertips touched her ankle, he took a light breath.
"Are you feeling better?" Guan Yunyu asked with concern.
"En." Gao Yingmin responded lightly, and looked at Guan Yunyu with gentle eyes. During this long journey, Guan Yunyu has always taken good care of her and is very considerate. For small and big matters, she will be consulted first, not blindly making her own decisions. If she doesn't go out for a while, she still doesn't know that the little guy is thoughtful and calm when he encounters problems, and he treats her meticulously.
Guan Yunyu lowered his eyes and focused on pressing Gao Yingmin's calf, not noticing the man's gaze staring at her, kneading his ankle to help her move her muscles and bones.
"Okay." Gao Yingmin withdrew his feet as if he was being burned.
"Stop rubbing, you'll be sore when you wake up tomorrow." Guan Yunyu blinked her phoenix eyes, and persuaded earnestly.
"Soak it in warm water later, it's okay." Gao Yingmin replied lightly.
Guan Yunyu didn't notice the strangeness of this person, so he poured her a cup of tea.
The two of them walked all the way and were exhausted. Guan Yunyu is a martial arts practitioner, better than Gao Yingmin, but she doesn't like walking, she doesn't want to move, she just wants to rest.
"My lady, let's go to the street in a sedan chair tomorrow."
"Okay." Gao Yingmin responded, and moved into the bed, leaving a large area for Guan Yunyu. Guan Yunyu drank a few more sips of water and lay down too.
In the afternoon, both of them became lazy. After Guan Yunyu lay down, he snuggled in and sniffed Gao Yingmin's ambergris so that he could fall asleep.
In a daze, when the two woke up, it was completely dark. The housekeeper had told them that they didn't need to prepare dinner for them, and he didn't come to call them.
After taking a nap, the two of them returned to their spirits.
"Miss, do you want to go out for a walk?" Guan Yunyu suggested.
"Okay." Gao Yingmin agreed.
The two changed their outfits and left Qi Mansion.
It was getting dark, and he didn't want Gao Yingmin to show his face, so Guan Yunyu went to the housekeeper and found four bearers, only two sedan chairs. The two, one in front and one behind, rushed to the most famous Zhaixing Restaurant in Hangzhou City.
When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, there was also a long queue. In Chang'an City, Guan Yunyu could have a private seat when he entered, but this is Hangzhou City. Guan Yunyu stepped forward and announced Qi Mufeng's name.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper really sold it, and led the two of them through the crowded crowd to the private room reserved for Qi Mufeng on weekdays.
"It's money, it's not easy to use in Hangzhou City, you need to have face." Hearing the guests queuing up behind him, he complained.
Guan Yunyu thinks it is, the hierarchical system in Hangzhou city is strict, and the solidification of people's thinking is a foregone conclusion. The distinction between the upper class and the lower class is extremely strict.
However, the food at Zhaixing Restaurant tastes really good.
Furthermore, the two of them had been hungry for a whole day, and Gao Yingmin also ate a lot. The dishes were light, sweet and sour. Appetizing and refreshing.
After dinner, Guan Yunyu asked the bearers to find a tea house to wait for them. Guan Yunyu took Gao Yingmin and walked in the bustling night market in Hangzhou City for a stroll.
I have to say that the law and order in Hangzhou City is nothing to say. Walking on the streets, everyone is well-dressed and rich. Whether it is a restaurant or a small street vendor, the prices of the items sold are much higher than those in Chang'an City.
But these people, when buying things, are unambiguous, and they are all rich.
Turning around, Gao Yingmin and Guan Yunyu didn't buy anything, they just thought it was stupid to buy these things at this price.
However, at the entrance of the Wei Mansion, the rich people who had finished shopping were gathering together and queuing up there.
After Guan Yunyu stepped forward to inquire, the man explained it to her in a good-tempered manner. Guan Yunyu was taken aback when he heard it, and Gao Yingmin beside him was also hearing such a thing for the first time, his brows were furrowed and his expression was calm.
Not in the mood to play, Gao Yingmin and Guan Yunyu rushed back to the Qi Mansion. The scene in Hangzhou City was an eye-opener for them.
After Gao Yingmin returned to Qi Mansion, he immediately wrote a letter, and Fei Ge sent it back to Chang'an City.
Weiyin's people haven't seen it yet, and all these things she did made them dumbfounded. It takes three to five days for Feige to pass letters back and forth.
This matter, at this point, is not a matter of a day or two, and there is no rush.
The pigeon had just flown out of Hangzhou City when it was shot down by an arrow.
Inside the sentry post, the servants of the Wei family picked up the pigeons and handed them to another person. The man wore a black hat, a jade dragon knife on his waist, a big Wei character embroidered on his chest, and a brand of the Wei family pinned to his waist. Looks taller than that follower.
"This is the Royal Blood Feather Pigeon." The man's face darkened, he removed the paper tube from the pigeon's feet, and took a closer look, his cold eyes narrowed into slits.
"What's the matter?" The other person reached for his neck, curious to see, the note was rolled up by this person and put into his arms.
"Prepare the horse, I'm going into the city overnight." The man walked down the sentry post quickly, and said with a big sigh.
The horses ran away in the dust, heading straight for the south gate of Hangzhou City.
*********************************
The gate of the Wei Mansion is painted with vermilion red paint, and there are two stone lions at the gate, with two fiery red lanterns hanging on the top. The sound of knocking on the door attracted the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion to go out to check. Seeing the man's anxious look, he hurriedly asked.
"Commander Wei, it's so late, you, why are you here?"
"Master Wei is in the mansion tonight?" The man called Commander Wei is Wei Changlu who is in charge of public security inside and outside the city of Hangzhou.
"Master Wei, he is in the study."
"The steward leads the way. I have something important to discuss with Master Wei." Wei Changlu said, clasping his fists.
The housekeeper hurriedly led Wei Changlu to trot all the way to the study.
In the study, Wei Yin was writing an official document, when the butler knocked on the door.
"Master Wei, Commander Wei is asking to see you."
Unable to wait for Weiyin's reply, Wei Changlu pushed open the door and barged in. Wei Changlu was sweating profusely and his face was full of panic.
"Master Wei, something is wrong."
"What makes Commander Wei so impatient." Wei Yin put down his pen and walked slowly from the desk.
Under the warm lamp, this man was dressed in black long clothes, wearing a hair crown, white and thin, with a bit of indifference in his eyes, walked in, a bit taller than Wei Changlu, slender and tall, with a slender figure. Somewhat domineering officials.
The Wei family is the No. 1 family in the south of the Yangtze River. The head of the Wei family, Wei Yin is naturally a person in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one can compare. Wei Changlu whispered a few words in Weiyin's ear. Wei Yin's face darkened, and he took the note from Wei Changlu.
This handwriting is so familiar.
Wei Yin turned around and walked to the desk, and found out the memorial that His Majesty had approved half a month ago, both of them wrote in one stroke, and their eyes sank. Suddenly I remembered that these days, His Majesty did not go to court, he claimed to be sick and asked for leave, and the prime minister has been taking care of the affairs of the court.
In such a connection, Weiyin squeezed the note in his hand, and his eyes darkened.
"Master Wei, do we want to strictly investigate the Chang'an people who have entered Hangzhou City recently?" Wei Changlu asked.
"Don't startle the snake with grass." Wei Yin shook his head, this is the current sage, who came to Hangzhou City calmly, so she should also treat each other with courtesy as a landlord.
Thinking in this way, Weiyin's lips curled up, he picked up the paper with his fingertips, and sniffed it carefully at the tip of his nose.
"The fabric of this paper is very good, and it smells of elegant bamboo. It must be something from a high-class family. Go and check, this paper comes from He's Zhifang."
*******************************
On Gao Yingmin's side, he didn't know that the letter had been intercepted. There was no news of Chang'an City for several days, and the two felt something strange about it.
On this day, after discussing with Gao Yingmin, Guan Yunyu decided to go out of Hangzhou City first, and return to the imperial court as a teacher, and then come to Hangzhou City some other day to inquire about Weiyin's responsibility.
The two silently packed up their luggage and prepared to bid farewell to Qi Mufeng. Qi Mufeng failed to persuade them to stay, so he contacted the merchant ship for them and sent them away from Hangzhou tomorrow.
Gao Yingmin and Guan Yunyu glanced at each other, and they both felt that they couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Tonight they left Hangzhou city in the dark, so they greeted Qi Mufeng, prepared two good horses, and wanted to leave Hangzhou city with Gao Yingmin first, and then make other plans.
The two of them had just discussed with Qi Mufeng, when the housekeeper hurriedly entered the hall.
"Master, Lord Wei is here."
The author has something to say: come, come. Remember to sprinkle flowers~

At dinner time, there was very little smoke from cooking, Guan Yunyu helped to light the fire, Gao Yingmin helped to wash the vegetables, Guan Yunyu was doing this for the first time, he was in a hurry, filled the room with smoke, and his face was flushed with choking.
Gao Yingmin took a wet cloth and helped her wipe the charcoal dust all over her face. Guan Yunyu squatted obediently by the stove, raised her head, squinted slightly, and asked Gao Yingmin to help wipe it off. After wiping it clean, she pulled her aside , Don't let her do it, fanned there by herself, and after a while, the stove was lit by Gao Yingmin.
"My lady, that's amazing." Guan Yunyu clapped his hands, his face full of joy.
