Under the oil lamp, the three women finished discussing today's affairs and started chatting.

Xuanhong asked: "Second sister, what are the two officials coming to see you for today?"

Yu Nu said: "They are going to Dengfeng for official business. They heard that I have an old relationship with Luan Qingshan there, so they asked me to help them."

After Xuanhong heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Of course they will do things for the officials themselves. We are doing business here safely, why should we do things for them? Besides, if Dengfeng is not under the rule of the governor, how can it be?

Just go there casually?”

Yu Nu said: "What can be done? The official people really refused, fearing that there would be trouble in the future."

Xuan Hong said: "I have always stayed in the Song family for a year or two, and I have some old feelings with the magistrate. If it doesn't work, I will ask the magistrate. Those two officials don't look like big shots. If the magistrate says something, they will

What can it do!"

Yunu said: "Sister, the identities of those two people are not simple. They were both the leaders of Zhenfu's subordinates in Kaifeng Mansion. They really didn't take it seriously. Forget it, I will consider this matter. You don't have to worry about it.

Already."

Xuan Hong was not angry. It was just that the biggest official she had ever seen in her life was the prefect, and she didn't know what to do. Seeing that Lin Xi didn't say anything, she said: "You can also give me some advice, second sister. Dengfeng is not like us here, you can go there casually."

?You have been wandering around these years and know the suffering outside."

Lin Xi said: "Those two officials came to make things difficult for us little girls. It was really not the husband's fault. It's just that their identities are there and they must go to the second sister. Who can do anything? Unless the governor speaks for us, there is nothing we can do.

It’s conceivable.”

Yunu said: "That's all, I'll figure it out myself, so you don't have to worry about it. I've been traveling all over the country in the past few years, and I haven't encountered anything. It's just one more trip. Dengfeng is not far away, so how much time can it take?"

Lin Xi and Xuan Hong both sighed.

It was getting late. Yunu said goodbye to the two of them and returned to her home not far away. Pingping lit the lamp. When she saw her sister coming back, she hurriedly asked: "There must be a lot of things today. Let's see what time it is before we return."

Have you had dinner at home?"

Yu Nu said: "I've eaten it a long time ago. Come here, I have something to say."

In this era, many people only had two meals, breakfast late and dinner early. Most people ate as soon as the sun went down, which was different from later generations. These days, Ping Ping was alone at home and was very bored, so she ate earlier.

He went to the window and sat down. Pingping said, "What's going on? Look at how serious my sister is."

Yu Nu said: "Today, two officials, Yu Huan and Zhang Jun, came to me and asked me to go with them to Dengfeng to do some work."

Pingping asked hurriedly: "Why? My sister is not an official, and she doesn't owe them anything. By the way, what are you doing in Dengfeng?"

Yu Nu said: "Remember when we were in Xiangcheng County, I asked you to come and found someone to help?"

Pingping thought for a while and said, "It's a man named Luan Qingshan. I heard he's a deserter and he's a good man."

Yunu said: "Luan Qingshan left Beiwu Town and went to Dengfeng to join Ding Jin. Fortunately, Ding Jin paid attention to him and became a leader. Yu Huan and Zhang Jun may want to discuss something with Luan Qingshan and want me to set up a line.

.”

Pingping shook her head repeatedly: "What kind of connection does sister have? Since Luan Qingshan is a leader, how could these two officials not be found? Not to mention that sister and Luan Qingshan have been separated for a long time, how can they know how he is now!"

Yunu looked at Pingping. After a while, he sighed: "Silly sister, how could they not know what you said? They came to me, obviously not to ask me to set up any strings. I thought about it again and again, but

I'm afraid that they know what we are doing near Xiangcheng. Luan Qingshan's cheating may not be a good thing in the eyes of their heroes, and it may arouse Ding Jin's suspicion. This may be used as blackmail to force Luan Qingshan to agree to something. Or he may think that I have something to do with him.

Luan Qingshan has some personal relationship, and I think I can impress him. Alas, I thought about why these two people came to me for a long time, but I really can’t figure it out!"

After saying that, Yu Nu was a little helpless. Yu Huan and Zhang Jun came to find him. At first glance, there was no problem. He was indeed familiar with Luan Qingshan and had a romantic relationship. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. How could he help? Really.

Have no idea.

Pingping said: "If you think it's inappropriate, sister won't go. Your business has just opened and you can't spare time."

Yu Nu smiled bitterly: "Of course I don't want to go! But that Yu Huan said that they are official people, and if they don't go, they will cause trouble for us. I asked people, and Yu Huan was the governor when he was in Kaifeng Mansion.

The leader of the troops under me was once the commander of the Xinyang Army. How can we two weak women afford to offend such a person? With just one word from him, he could easily take our lives!"

After saying that, Yunu held her chin in her hands and looked at the moonlight outside the window.

The moon has risen, and the water-like brilliance pours down from the sky. Everything is misty, with a mysterious color. In the night, there are unknown insects singing, chirping, chirping, not knowing what they are saying.

After a long time, Yunu sighed: "We want to be good people and live quietly, but why is it so difficult -"

Pingping was stunned for a moment after hearing this. An indescribable feeling emerged and lingered in her chest, and she couldn't get rid of it.

In a pavilion on the second floor of Jiangbian Restaurant, Yu Huan and Zhang Jun were sitting by the window. While drinking, they looked out the window at the night of the Han River.

After more than two years of peaceful life, the Han River has become more prosperous. At night, in addition to the passing merchant ships and sporadic fishing boats, there are now many painted boats. When the sun sets, these painted boats are lit up with lights, illuminating half of the river. On them, silk and bamboo are singing and dancing.

Delicious delicacies, extremely luxurious.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Jun said: "If I could be carefree and have fun every night on this boat, what a fairy life it would be!"

Yu Huan said: "Someone asked Zhenfu. Zhenfu himself lives a simple life, but outside he is singing and dancing. Isn't it strange? Zhenfu replied that it is precisely because the life of an official is simple that he can be as luxurious as he wants outside. If an official likes the sound of silk and bamboo,

Sooner or later, these prosperous things will be taken into the homes of officials, and the outside will not be so lively. Brother, do you understand? We officials don't like these, so they can be so lively."

"I just like it!" Zhang Jun drank a bowl of wine, feeling a little angry.

Yu Huan said: "If you like, take off your official uniform, go to the ship by yourself, and be an ordinary guest. If you wear official uniform and get on the ship, you will be punished. This is a rule established by the pacifier. If you put on official uniform, you will be a court official.

You are restricted everywhere. If you take off your official uniform, you are just a commoner. No one cares what you do! Of course, you cannot do business without your official uniform."

Zhang Jun said: "Let's not talk about these troublesome things! Everything about Zhenfu is good, but he is too strict with his subordinates. Look at the leaders in various places nowadays, who are like Zhenfu, taking care of everything! With Zhenfu, everything is happy.

can not do this!"

Yu Huan was stunned: "What do you mean? Brother, we are soldiers, but we have two ambitions!"

Zhang Jundao: "Brother, what did you say? I told the truth, am I lying? So what if I can't do what I want? There are a few people in this world who can do whatever they want! Brother, this is life!"

Seeing Zhang Jun's serious look, Yu Huan couldn't help laughing.

After drinking another bowl of wine, Zhang Jun said: "I went to look for the little lady from Yunu today, and I saw that she was very reluctant. I tell you, there is no use in following her. If she doesn't want to, why force her?"

Yu Huan said: "I know that Ding Jin is a human being, and there is a nine-tenth chance that he will not succeed. If Ding Jin is smart, he always does things badly and has no rules. If he is stupid, he is also very shrewd. His

In his eyes, he can only see the benefits. Now that he is begging him, how can Ding Jin give up? If the food and grass are taken from him, he will most likely withhold a share."

Zhang Jun sneered: "Ding Jin's men only have a few thousand mobs, what can he do? He has provoked the suppressive spirit, and Ruzhou can send troops to destroy him at any time! Although Dengfeng is dangerous, it cannot stop our army!"

Yu Huan nodded: "This is the truth, but who is going to tell Ding Jin? I can't do it, how can Ding Jin believe it? At this time, we need someone Ding Jin trusts to help us. This jade slave is just to win over

It belongs to Luan Qingshan. After you arrive at Dengfeng, don’t show your face. Yu Nu has found Luan Qingshan. Talk to him and ask him to help us. Only by working in the open and in the dark can we get things done."

Zhang Jun shook his head: "It's no wonder that my brother has so many ideas! I saw the unwillingness on that woman's face, and I couldn't bear it."

Yu Huan said: "What's so pitiful about a woman? Brother, this woman is not simple. I have seen so many things in Huanchang before. Xiangcheng seduced Huang Yuanwai and robbed tens of thousands of pieces of cloth! What if it was a peaceful time?

, what she committed is a capital crime! It is of some use to us, and we won’t suffer any loss if we bring it with us. Alas, our brothers who were promoted in the past are all big shots. We also have to make some contributions."

After hearing this, Zhang Jun said nothing. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Although he knew in his heart that Shao Ling, Niu Gao, Cao Zhiyan and Xie Linong were promoted based on their own abilities, there was always a knot in his heart. Zhang Jun always thought that he was very smart and was always unwilling to be inferior to others. Yu Huan was right.
