   Chapter 266 The tide rises

   Seeing that the second master finally came out of the yamen, Jiang Bao and Jiang Houer immediately ran out of the gatehouse to meet them. Jiang Hou'er grabbed ahead of Jiang Bao and said, "Is the second master hungry? The villain bought it for you..."

   "Master doesn't want to eat, go back to the house." Jiang Erye just came out of prison, his body is full of smell, his mind is full of things, his stomach is full of anger, how can he have the mind to eat.

   Jiang Bao heard the words and immediately brought Victory over and asked the second master to mount. After Jiang Erye turned over and took the reins, he instructed Jiang Baodao, "Go to Uncle Qiu and let him go back to the house immediately."

"Yes."

   Seeing that the second master looked bad, Jiang Bao guessed that something bad had happened, and hurried to the south gate where Uncle Qiu was. This morning, Uncle Qiu said that a batch of medicinal materials would be shipped from Suzhou, and he would be waiting to pick up the goods at the dock outside Nancheng. Jiang Bao knew in his heart that Uncle Qiu went to greet him in person, which means that the things sent from Suzhou were not only medicinal materials.

   But no matter what's inside, it's not as important as Er Ye's affairs.

   Jiang Erye's horse just entered the yard. Uncle Hou, the old housekeeper who was snoring under the big pomegranate tree by the shadow wall, heard the movement, wiped his saliva, raised his head, and said hello to Jiang Erye, "Second Master is back."

   Jiang Er threw the horse reins to the doorman, and said to Uncle Hou, "The pomegranate on the tree is so big, you are not afraid to drop one and hit your head."

"Second Master, don't look at the old slave's age, but his head is still strong. I just dropped one, and it doesn't hurt at all, but there are too many pomegranate seeds, and it's hard to eat." Uncle Hou listed his missing teeth. With a smile, he lifted up his dry hands and picked a large pomegranate that had cracked and exposed its seeds, and handed it to Er Ye Jiang, "Er Ye, try it, the pomegranate ripens late this year with a lot of rain, and the skin is not good-looking, but it tastes good. It's alright."

Jiang Erye never eats ugly-looking things, but he still took the pomegranate from the old housekeeper's hand and instructed the servant next to him, "Uncle Hou wants to eat pomegranate again, pick the big one, squeeze out the juice and bring it up. ."

   Uncle Hou waved his hand quickly, "No, no..."

   Jiang Erye snorted, "Use it! The few teeth you have left can't stand the pomegranate seeds."

  After Jiang Erye's salary increased, the life in the house was better, and another batch of servants was brought in. Mrs. Jiang specially pointed a diligent servant to the front yard to take care of the old housekeeper's diet and daily life. Uncle Hou, who is 70 years old, has followed Mr. Jiang since he was a child, grew up in Jiang's family, married a wife and had children. After the death of their grandfather and father, the three Jiang brothers regarded the old housekeeper as half an elder.

   After being interrupted by Uncle Hou, he went back to the west courtyard to take a quick bath, and when he saw the little girl eating pomegranate in the courtyard, the anger in Jiang Erye's stomach dissipated. He stepped forward and rubbed his daughter's little head, "How many teeth have you lost?"

   "Eight, the front teeth are all lost." Jiang Liu, whose two front teeth had already grown together, held the pomegranate and asked her father worriedly, "Dad, look at Liu'er's front teeth, are they too big?"

   Jiang Erye leaned over and looked at it, lying on his back on the reclining chair next to him, "The bigger the front teeth, the better the house."

   Housekeeping? Jiang Liu was so angry that he could not wait to squeeze most of the pomegranate on his father's moon white tee.

   Jiang Erye didn't care whether the girl was angry, so he said lazily, "Dad wants to eat pomegranate."

eat! Jiang Liu grabbed a handful of pomegranates and put them all on his father's mouth.

   Jiang Erye spit out the pomegranate seeds after eating the sweet pomegranate, grabbed the little paw of his daughter, "It's so big, you still want to stuff your father's mouth?"

  Jiang Liu puffed out his cheeks, peeled off a small handful of pomegranates with one hand, and stuffed it into Daddy's mouth, "Daddy is not happy today?"

   Otherwise, why don't you go to the streets and run back and lie down?

   Jiang Erye looked at the fish scale clouds in the autumn sky, and sighed, "Liu'er, are you running faster now?"

  Daddy's way of thinking has always been out of the way, and it's a common thing to answer nonsense. Jiang Liu followed his words and replied, "Well, not only Liu'er, but my sister is also running very fast now."

  Jiang Liu felt that apart from suffering after she passed through, the only thing she could barely count as a golden finger was that she ran fast, so she practiced hard every day. Jiang Muyan lives with her younger sister, and her younger sister trains as well. Although her speed can't catch up with her younger sister, it is not a little bit faster than when she was so thin that she had to walk a few steps before taking a break.

   Jiang Erye squeezed his daughter's little hand and warned, "In the future, when you two go out, you must bring at least three nursing homes and four martial maids. In addition to Huyantu and Yayin, bring Qi Meng with you."

  Qi Meng is the best nursing home in the house except for Ya Yin, Huyan Tu, Jiang Bao and Jiang Cai. Daddy asked them to take so many people, which meant that he expected it to be more dangerous outside than before. But Daddy didn't want to say why, Jiang Liu didn't ask, and nodded obediently, "Yes. Daddy, don't worry, my sister and I will be fine, nothing will happen."

   "Gululu..." A loud sound came from Jiang Erye's stomach instead of his answer.

   Jiang Liu was surprised, "Daddy is not full?"

   Jiang Erye said pitifully, "Daddy has not eaten anything besides a few pomegranates today."

   "Then you're still lying here?"

   "It wasn't because you were here that Daddy came here."

  Ginger stay…

  Jiang Bao walked in quickly, "Second Master, Uncle Qiu is back."

   Jiang Erye released his daughter's little hand and rushed to the study in the front yard. Jiang Liu also stood up, "Dad, will my daughter have some food delivered to her?"

   "Dad wants to eat noodles."

   "It's done." Jiang Liu immediately instructed Shu Qiu, "Go and instruct Sister Liu to quickly make a bowl of noodles and send it to the study in the front yard."

   Shuqiu asked, "Girl, the second master eats a lot and is hungry from the morning until the second half of the afternoon. Isn't one pot of noodles not enough? Do you want to make two pots?"

   Jiang Liu... When her father is a pig?

   Jiang Erye went to the study, saw Uncle Qiu wiping his sweat with a sweat towel, and asked, "Where did you go and why did it take so long to come back?"

   Uncle Qiu bent over and saluted, and replied, "A batch of medicinal herbs has been sent from other places, and this old slave will wait outside the Nancheng Gate."

   Medicinal materials will be strictly investigated when they enter Beijing. If they are not properly managed, precious medicinal materials will be deducted by the guards. Jiang Erye instructed, "Go on and explain, in the future, our medicinal materials will enter the city from Jinguangmen."

  The West Main Gate Jinguangmen is closer to the West City. Jiang Erye is the commander of the West City, and he has a better relationship with the officers and soldiers guarding the West City Gate. Uncle Qiu responded immediately, "Second Master is still thoughtful."

   Jiang Erye snorted, "If you have your own city gate, you will go to Nancheng to see people's faces, stupid!"

   "Second Master taught me." Uncle Qiu responded again. "My lord is in a hurry to call you back, because a group of military horses in Suzhou will enter the city from Jinguangmen within three days. After the horses are presented at Taipu Temple, they will send the horses and soldiers to the Yanfufang Memorial Courtyard. It is estimated that within a month I won't go." Jiang Erye said about the business, "Including Ling'er, you should not walk outside the mansion this month, so as not to cause trouble."

   Entering Beijing to offer horses is a very respectable errand, and the soldiers who can come to send horses must have a good reputation in Suzhou. The last military general who came to Beijing to offer horses was Jiang Ling's biological father, Ren Muyuan. It was also at that time that Jiang Erye, who was always wandering around, was very pleasing to the eye, and he had a drink with him.

  Ren Muyuan was killed, Jiang Ling fled to Kang'an to avoid Jiang's house, and the people from Suzhou made Jiang Erye very alert.

Uncle Qiu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Second Master, the one who came to Beijing to present a horse this time is Song Ke, the Ranger General of Zuo Wuwei. He is a capable subordinate of Jiang Jinzong, the commander of Zuo Wuwei. According to the old slave's secret investigation, he was assassinated that year. General Ren, the killer who killed the Ren family, was probably sent by Jiang Jinzong."

  I didn't expect Uncle Qiu to investigate so clearly, Erye Jiang asked, "Does Song Ke recognize you and Ling'er?"

   Uncle Qiu, who used to be the military advisor of Zuo Wuwei, nodded embarrassedly, "He recognizes the old slave, and he has also seen Master Ling."

   Jiang Erye immediately froze, "You didn't say that you are a small official in the border town. Ling'er has been practicing martial arts on the mountain since she was a child, and there are not many people who recognize you! How can I recognize you when you come over!"

   Thanks to book friend liwen for the reward. The second one is delivered today.
