Chapter 252: Light this cannon for me
He Yunxiao and Zhang Jingxian made an appointment at the beginning of Haishi.
At the beginning of Haishi, nine o'clock in the evening.
Qi is no better than modern times. In modern times, at nine o'clock in the evening, it can be said that the life of a working man has just begun. But in Qi, which lacks entertainment facilities, nine o'clock in the evening is already very late, and most people go to bed behind closed doors.
It is not too late to take Sister Jiang over at this time, and the impact will be small.
However, this time is too early for He Yunhao. Years of military life have made him develop the habit of going to bed late and getting up early. I go to bed at eleven o'clock every day, get up at five o'clock in the morning at dawn. Even if he no longer personally leads troops to fight, he still does so every day.
It was not feasible to pick up Sister Jiang at eleven o'clock. It was too late at this time, and every household was already asleep. Any movement could spread far, and the whereabouts of the convoy could not be hidden at all.
He Yunxiao and his aunt discussed back and forth, weighed the left and right, and finally decided to take advantage of He Yuanhao's martial arts training time at nine o'clock to bring Sister Jiang directly into the house.
…
At the end of Xu Shi, there were still thirty minutes until nine o'clock.
He Yunxiao supported Jiang Wuyou and slowly went downstairs under the extremely envious eyes of the little sisters in Chunfeng Tower.
Not only the girls with various brands in the building, but also many servants, servants, and cooks. Anyone who is still alive in the building, no matter whether they are humans or animals, are staring at He Yunxiao and Jiang Wuyou with wide eyes at this moment. look.
It seems that Jiang Wuyou's fans are more girls than various dandies.
He Yunxiao held Sister Jiang's hand and walked down the stairs step by step.
He had an inexplicable feeling that the onlookers were looking at him more and less at Sister Jiang.
He Yunxiao is used to being a playboy. In the early years, he was always the center of attention and the focus of the crowd. But in a situation like Chunfeng Tower, where girls on several floors are lying on the railings, forming several circles from top to bottom, with the upper floors looking down and the lower floors looking up, they are observed in all directions and three-dimensionally, even if they are This was also the first time he met He Yunxiao.
"Madam, why do I feel like they are all looking at me?"
Jiang Wuyou walked silently, not wanting to speak.
The reason why He Yunxiao attracts so much attention is simple, because 80% of the girls in Chunfeng Tower are spies from the Yan Kingdom, and Jiang Wuyou is their de facto special envoy.
The mentality they were looking at He Yunxiao at this time was not really because He Yunxiao was handsome, but a mentality similar to "My head teacher has been married off, and I want to see who is so capable."
Jiang Wuyou walked out of Chunfeng Tower and saw torches and a long motorcade. She froze on the spot, startled by the formation He Yunxiao put up.
Although there were no gongs or drums, or red flowers and silks, some people believed that the princess was getting married.
He Yunxiao originally thought that Sister Jiang would be moved to tears, and then directly promised her body in excitement. Taking advantage of the excitement tonight, he immediately replenished the "money" she owed him to him with interest.
But He Yunxiao thought too much.
Jiang Wuyou's first words after being stunned were: "He Yunxiao, how much did you spend?"
He Yunxiao heard that Sister Jiang's tone was not kind, and swallowed the fifteen thousand taels on the spot.
"It only cost one thousand five hundred taels. I'm afraid you won't be willing to spend money."
For such a big battle, Jiang Wuyou couldn't believe that He Yunxiao only spent one thousand five hundred taels.
He Yunxiao helped her walk towards the carriage driven by Ma Dekuai in the motorcade. This carriage is naturally not the carriage of the Marquis Mansion, but a newly rented one that is more magnificent.
Seeing that there was still some distance to go, Jiang Wuyou took the opportunity to ask:
"Just one thousand five hundred taels?"
He Yunxiao hesitated, "It's actually two thousand taels."
"real?"
"Fake."
"How much exactly."
Guxiang
"Three thousand taels."
"I can't stop watching."
He Yunxiao pretended to be anxious and said: "Sister, I still need money to open a shop. It's really only three thousand taels."
At this time, the two of them had reached the carriage. In front of everyone, Jiang Wuyou was not comfortable letting He Yunxiao get in the car to talk, so before getting in the car, he stuffed a handful of banknotes into his arms.
"Sister knows that you have a lot of face, but Xiao'er, it's time for you to grow up. Face is not as important as lizi, and sister's status is not as important as your business. Face is all appearances, power is the foundation, don't put the cart before the horse."
After Jiang Wuyou said this, he lowered the car curtain and separated himself from He Yunxiao inside and outside.
He Yunxiao looked down at the handful of broken banknotes in his arms, and then looked up at Sister Jiang - naturally he couldn't see it. He could only see the car curtain that was put down by Sister Jiang and was still swaying back and forth. .
He Yunxiao murmured: "Sister, my original intention of doing business is for you..."
The snoring of horses, the crackle of burning torches, the shouts of drinkers punching fists and drinking wine, the discussion of passers-by watching the excitement, and finally He Yunxiao's unheard and insignificant words, everything in front of Chunfeng Tower Everything combines into the lively and noisy atmosphere of the city, forming a corner of Yinjing's night scene.
He Yunxiao walked to the front of the team and mounted his horse in one step.
He held the banknote given by Sister Jiang in his arms, faced north, took a deep breath, and roared: "Get up the sedan!"
There was no sedan chair in the motorcade that needed to be carried, but everyone understood what He Yunxiao meant.
Ma Dekuai was on duty and took the lead in cracking his whip, and then all the horses in the convoy stepped forward and began to move forward.
…
He Yuanhao is practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Unlike some official martial artists, he has to build a martial arts training hall to practice indoors. It is good to practice martial arts indoors rain or shine, but he prefers to practice martial arts outdoors. And the worse the weather is, the more they like to practice martial arts outdoors.
Walking on the snow in the wind, bare-chested and backless, it is quite interesting to fight against the sky.
To kill the enemy on the battlefield, long weapons must be used. He Yuanhao first showed off his sword skills, then changed to a long spear, and then changed to a long-handled broadsword.
Zhang Jingxian estimated that He Yunxiao was about to arrive, and after watching He Yuanhao practicing martial arts seriously for a while, she felt relieved. He Yuanhao played with his weapons vigorously, making a lot of noise. As long as He Yunxiao didn't make too much noise, he could settle Jiang Wuyou down according to the plan without anyone noticing.
Zhang Jingxian knew that it was not proper to do things without telling the master, but for the granddaughter in Jiang Wuyou's belly, she had to do so. She couldn't let her live in the other courtyard with a big belly. If someone found out and spread it, He Yunxiao would be completely finished. It would be better to keep her in the Marquis's Mansion. First, it is convenient, and second, it is not easy to leak the news.
"Keep an eye on the master. If the master wants to see me, tell him I have something to do and I'll be back soon."
"Yes."
After giving two instructions, Zhang Jingxian came to the door.
Before seeing the person, you can hear his voice first.
Before Zhang Jingxian reached the door, she heard the noise outside the Marquis's house was as lively as a vegetable market.
"Hey, whose daughter did the Marquis's son marry?"
"I don't know. Do you know?"
"I don't know either."
"Why didn't the Marquis's son choose an auspicious day to marry his daughter-in-law, nor did he celebrate with gongs, drums and firecrackers?"
"I don't know. Do you know?"
"I don't know either."
"Who said not to set off firecrackers!?"
Li Jin came out from nowhere, waved his hand, and asked the servants of the Li Mansion to arrange the eight-diagram firecrackers across the door of the He Mansion.
"Today is my brother's wedding, light these cannons for me!"
