Chapter Eighty-Four

One hundred skewers, Chen and Dai ate eighty or four pounds of mutton, two killed three and a half pounds, one jar of pear blossoms, and two drank most of them.

Qian Qianyi had almost figured out the situation in Jiangxi, and Chen and Dai were already full of food and food.

"Mr. He, please check out." Dai Rufeng wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.

"Checkout? The words and quatrains of me are worth three thousand taels of silver. Isn't it just a meal? Dai Rufeng is too deducted?" Qian Qianyi thought to himself.

"Okay, waiter, check out!" He Wuzuo didn't say anything else and shouted outside.

"Dear masters, there are 21, 20,000 yuan in total with wine and vegetables." The waiter came in and said with a smile on his face.

"Puff!" He Wuzuo didn't swallow a sip of water, and he suddenly spit out after hearing this: "Cough cough..., waiter, why is it so expensive? Just a little more than twenty taels of silver for this little wine and food?"

"Master, it's definitely not worth so much just wine and food. However, the store sells not only wine and food, but also culture." The waiter said with a serene expression.

"Cultural? This painting and these broken words on the wall are also called culture?" He Wuzuo said.

"Old He, you are really not particular. You are also petty in your niece's business. Are you embarrassed?" Chen Jitai said disdainfully.

He Wu was stunned by this, thinking that he would admit it no matter how expensive he was. However, he glanced at Chen Jitai, who was smiling and thought to himself: "Didn't this old guy have already planned to treat me as a sucker, right? No, I can't let him play tricks on me."

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Yes, what Mr. Chen said is that he is so busy that he is my niece's restaurant. Forget it, it's more expensive, just buy a piece of flower cloth for his niece."

As he said that, he touched his sleeves, then his face changed: "It's broken, I didn't bring a silver note, what should I do?"

"Old He, you don't bring a silver note when you treat you? Is there anyone who treats you like like?" Chen Jitai said unhappily.

"Uncle Chen, what do you mean? How could the officials know that they would treat you? Or should I take credit first?"

"You don't have to pay a small business on credit," Dai Rufeng said with a stern face.

"Yes, the restaurant run by my virtuous niece. Why do I feel embarrassed to pay credit for my elders? Uncle Chen, please borrow some silver notes first. When the official returns to his home, he will send someone to you immediately. How about it?" He Wuzuo said.

"I've never seen a governor like you..." Chen Jitai was forced to this point, so he had no choice but to take out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, find a minimum denomination of 500 taels, hand it to He Wuzuo, and said, "I want to pay it back."

"Of course. Waiter, this silver note is 500 taels, so you don't need to find it. The rest should be regarded as my uncle and bought jewelry for my niece." He Wuzuo said openly.

"Hey, Lao He, you are so generous. You are really worthy of being the governor of a province. You are just open-minded in your work!" Chen Jitai stretched out his thumb and praised.

...

Several people broke up after leaving the hotel and went back to their respective homes.

The more Chen Jitai returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it was: "Can He Wuzuo not bring silver notes? Isn't this guy just borrowed or paid back?"

When it was almost dark and no one from the He family came to pay the silver bill, Chen Jitai was sure: "I've been fooled by He Crook! This guy didn't say anything about eating and drinking for free, but he even gave me a favor with my silver. It's so traits! I've been blinded by geese all year round today. One word is bad luck!"

...

In the afternoon, Chen Jitai and Dai Rufeng's two secret copies arrived at Zhu Youlang's desk.

When Zhu Youlang saw that the two of them were talking about one thing, that is, Qian Qianyi asked He Wuzuo about the military situation in Jiangxi.

"These two people are very vigilant. However, Qian Qianyi asked about the military situation in Jiangxi. Although it was suspected of overstepping power, his personality is easy to show off and recharge. It would be okay to ask."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang casually handed these two secret copies to Gu Yanwu.

Gu Yanwu looked at it, his heart moved, and he carefully put it away.

...

After Qian Qianyi returned to his residence, he wrote down the situation of the imperial meeting in a concise manner, attached the Jiangxi military intelligence, and after sealing it, he called Qian Zhong.

"Qian Zhong, immediately send someone to Nanzhili. In addition, he sent someone to secretly spread the news of Qing troops attacking in the market, causing chaos in Guangzhou."

"Yes, lord." Qian Zhong took the letter and agreed to go.

Qian Qianyi came to Guangzhou and made a message with Nanzhili. He used a flying pigeon to deliver a letter. For this reason, he also provided a person to train pigeons. However, the information this time was too long and the pigeons could not bear the weight, so he had to send someone to send them back.

After Qian Zhong left, Qian Qianyi remembered the story of "Yang Yang and Yang's pride" and thought to himself: "Dai Rufeng's second daughter opened a hotel, and Guizhuang's wife opened a tailor shop. This designation was approved or secretly supported by Zhu Youlang. The woman in charge of affairs is a way to poor family for a family; for a country, it is a way to cause disaster. Confucius said: "The hen is in charge of the morning, and only the family's ropes are the ropes." Fang Xiaoru also said: "The female is in the morning and the breasts are different, and the morals are bad, and the disaster is particularly serious. It seems that we have to tell the students about "The Demon Resistance". If this triggers a civil strife and Zhu Youlang's internal and external affairs are in trouble, he will not be far from defeat!"

Thinking of this, Dai Rufeng and Guizhuang, he thought to himself: "These two people are extremely powerful, especially Dai Rufeng, who is an unreasonable master. Whoever dares to go to his daughter's shop to find fault, he doesn't care. Therefore, if you have no character, you dare not touch it. Let's see, there are any literati who are afraid of death. If you really can't find a suitable person, then do it yourself. As long as the action is secret, you don't believe that Dai Rufeng can find him here."

...

In the afternoon, Li Dingguo asked to see Zhu Youlang alone.

Zhu Youlang Xuan went to the palace.

Li Dingguo reported: "Your Majesty, after I returned, I thought about it repeatedly, and I always felt that the middle lane was too empty. It was not that I could trust Marshal Zhang. However, there were only three key passes in Jiangxi. If there were any mistakes, Guangzhou would directly face the main force of the Qing army. Our left and right lane were thousands of miles away, so it would be too late to rescue. Therefore, I suggest that some troops be drawn back to assist Li Yuanyin in defending Guangzhou."

"Ning Yu, you don't have to worry, nor do you have to divide your troops. I have actually made the worst plan. Even if the Qing soldiers attacked Guangzhou, if they can defend, they will defend, and if they cannot defend, they will retreat. Don't forget that there are Shi Lang's 100,000 naval troops on the sea, and they can provide reinforcements at any time." Zhu Youlang understood that Li Dingguo's good intentions were nothing more than worrying about his own safety.

"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of ten thousand, but you are afraid of one. I think your Majesty is the important task of the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation, so you must not make any mistakes." Li Dingguo said anxiously.
