What he needs more is a powerful ally, not a pig's head that pulls him into deeper darkness.
"The eldest uncle wants to revitalize the family, the eldest aunt wants to settle down with her parents' family, and the eldest brother wants to be romantic." The three of them each have their own ideas. Xiang Zhao feels that if things develop like this, Xiang Yu's engagement day I'm afraid it's still far away, "I'm afraid it's difficult to drink eldest brother's wedding wine."
Li Cong smiled brightly: "Then let's drink two first Cousin’s wedding!”
Xiang Zhao waved his hand: “That’s not possible, the elder brother has to get married first before it’s my turn.” It's too early to say who will get married." Li Cong turned to ask, "I wonder which family the girl my second aunt has chosen for my second cousin is from?"
He felt that the status of the noble girl who could make Jiang pester Xiang Zhao was not bad.
Sure enough, I heard Xiang Zhao respond: "Dr. Fang's legitimate daughter, Fang Muxun."
"The lady of Fang Mansion...the grandson of Fang Jijiu?" Li Cong quickly said In his mind, he searched all the mansions with the surname Fang in the capital, and selected the family most likely to be favored by the Jiang family among these mansions.
Xiang Zhao nodded: "Exactly."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Li Cong immediately became interested, sat up and said, "That's good, why doesn't my second cousin want to go?"
"I don't want to go, it's just..." Xiang Zhao actually didn't refuse Jiang. He just wanted to postpone the date of meeting, "I want to inquire about Miss Fang's character first."
If it is good, he will meet again.
If it's not a good one, he doesn't want to waste time.
"One should be cautious about life-long events." Li Cong paused and returned to the topic, "In addition to asking about Miss Fang's character, second cousin might as well ask about Second Young Master Meng's study tour. "
Xiang Zhao also has this plan: "Okay."
At nightfall, Meng Renji and Chu Cun rode into Daxing County.
“Fortunately, I took a few steps quickly, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to enter the city gate!” Chu Cun was extremely happy.
Meng Renji was riding on the horse, and he was very happy: "Yes, if you sleep in the wilderness, it will be fine if you work harder. I am afraid that you will miss General Qiao."
Chu Cun too. This means: "This is the truth!"
The two of them talked quietly as they walked and came to the door of an inn.
Chu Cun dismounted, held the reins of his own horse, and then held the reins of Meng Renji's horse: "Master, stay here, and I will go explore the way."
Meng Renji didn't know how to ride a horse. He only learned horsemanship day and night after traveling far away. Fortunately, although he seems weak, he learns things very quickly, especially learning to ride horses. He is very talented.
Ride well now.
He dismounted and said, "It is getting late. We have traveled all the way and we are very tired. Why don't you take a rest first? After a while, it is not too late to explore the road again."
Chu Cun knew that Meng Renji felt sorry for all the traveling and hard work he had done all the way. After all, he had arranged all the people and things he met from the official road away from Beijing to Daxing County. It was indeed very tiring. .
Then he nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to the master."
As soon as he entered the inn, Chu Cun went to the counter to check in.
The master and the servant soon followed the waiter to the guest room on the second floor, and they only had an upper room.
The waiter then went downstairs and ordered the kitchen to prepare wine, food and hot water for bathing. After that, he followed Chu Cun’s instructions and poured a basin of warm water upstairs, and served it first. Tea before food and wine.
After a while, the waiter left after finishing his work and closed the door of the guest room.
"Master, wash your face first, and then drink some tea to quench your thirst." Chu Cun twisted a clean handkerchief from the copper basin and handed it to Meng Renji.
Meng Renji took it and wiped his face.
The temperature of the water is just right. When you apply it to your face, it feels very comfortable and washes away all the travel dust. Meng Renji washed his face and wiped his hands. Chu Cunfang took the handkerchief back and didn't change the water. He just used the water in the copper basin to wipe his face and wash his hands.
Meng Renji sat at the table and watched Chu Cun’s movements, sighing in his heart that Meng Shisan came to Old Mrs. Meng and asked Old Mrs. Meng to choose Chu Cun for him and follow him. It was indeed the right choice to go to the land of the Southern Barbarians.
Indeed, as the eldest sister said, Chu Cun is rough on the outside, but delicate on the inside. He speaks smartly, handles things neatly, is smooth and steady externally, and is sincere and loyal internally. He is a rare talent.
The most important thing is that Chu Cunshang still has martial arts that are enough to protect him.
After eating and drinking, Meng Renji was taking a bath, and Chu Cun left the inn.
It was said to be a path exploration, but in reality it was to go out and look for the secret code left by Qiao Qiancheng, so that the two sides could meet along the secret code.
As for what the secret code was, Qiao Qiancheng had agreed with Meng Renji as early as the two days when Meng Renji lived in Qiao Mansion.
Before Chu Cun left the inn, Meng Renji told him: "Before exploring the road, you should send a message to Shangchun first, so that Yaoyao can feel at ease."
"No." Chu Cun made arrangements immediately.
So the master and servant here were busy meeting up with Qiao Qiancheng's master and servant, and the Taichen Courtyard of Meng Mansion on the other side of the capital received the homing pigeon sent by Chu Cun in the latter half of the night.
The homing pigeon is a special homing pigeon that Chu Cunchen trained by himself when he was helping Mrs. Meng do business in the past. It flies high and fast, and is very effective and safe.
It will neither fly to the wrong place, nor will it be shot down and roasted halfway.
Meng Shisan was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door in his sleep, and then heard Shangchun's low voice outside the door: "Miss, there is news."
She sat up and opened the quilt, I got off the bed, took on my shoes, and went outside to open the door.
"Miss."
"Come in and talk."
Although Meng Shisan said that there is no need to stay on duty at night, Orb Gold and Silver is still very alert at night.
When both of them were sleeping, they kept in a light sleep. If there was any movement in the main room, they would wake up eight times out of ten.
This time is no exception.
It was Jinyin who came out to see what was going on. Seeing that she was enjoying the spring and had something to report, but nothing else, she returned to the penthouse and continued to sleep.
At the same time, Li Shou, who was far away in Lueyang, did not hesitate to go to investigate the matter personally and made considerable progress.
"Sir, Magistrate Zhu is here." Tongchen reported, his injury had already been healed.
Li Shou was slightly surprised: "Oh?"
Tong Guangze asked doubtfully: "Did County Magistrate Zhu figure it out? Or is he trying to do something new?"
"Please come in." Li Shouling said .
“No.” Tongchen went down to invite someone.
At the same time, the kite was already outside the west courtyard wall of Lu Mansion, wandering back and forth for a long time.
She frowned in confusion: "It shouldn't be. Could it be that I misremembered the cry he told me last time? Wasn't it the cry of a raccoon slave?"
Naishe took the initiative to talk to her last time , if her young lady has anything to do with his young master, she can call outside the west courtyard wall of the Lu Mansion and he will come out to answer her.
She remembered correctly, she said she was imitating the raccoon slave.
The kite was hesitating whether to try another cry, when a subtle sound of landing came from beside him.
