Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

On the bustling market in Bianliang City, a young man dressed as a servant was sweating profusely, stumbled through the crowd, and asked the roadside vendors while running: "The government servants in Kai, Kaifeng Mansion, Xun, Xun, Street have just Is it from here?"

Small merchants and peddlers on the side of the road couldn't help being a little curious when they saw the young man's appearance, and a few experienced ones even started to give on-the-spot guidance: "Brother, did you come to Kaifeng Mansion from other places to seek Mr. Bao to complain about grievances?"

"Looking for the yamen guards patrolling the street is irrelevant, you should go to the gate of Kaifeng mansion to beat drums and complain!"

The young man was out of breath and said, "I-I'm not looking for Mr. Bao, I-I'm looking for Captain Jin from Kaifeng Mansion..."

"Are you looking for Captain Jin?"

Everyone on the side was stunned when they heard it, and their expressions became a little weird.

"If you're looking for Lieutenant Jin..." A peddler pointed forward, "That's the leader of the patrol team on the street."

"Many, thank you!" The young man rushed out in the direction.

Everyone looked at the back of the young man and at each other.

"There are always a lot of people who come to Kaifeng Mansion to look for Mr. Bao, Mr. Gongsun, and Mr. Zhan, but this is the first time they have come to look for Captain Jin..."

"Look at the burning appearance of that little brother, it must be something urgent."

"But, why do I have a bad feeling..."

"It's, it's just...it doesn't feel good..."

Facts in the next few days proved that the people's eyes are sharp and their premonitions are effective.

-

"Lieutenant Jin asked for leave? Has he left Kaifeng mansion? I don't know where he went?" Mr. Gongsun suddenly raised his head from a pile of letters, frowned and asked anxiously, "Why is it so hasty?"

Zheng Xiaoliu was sweating profusely, handed over a piece of paper tremblingly, wiped his sweat and said, "I don't know what it is, Captain Jin read this letter, and hurriedly followed the messenger away."

"What letter?" Mr. Gongsun took the letter and opened it to read it. His eyes suddenly opened wide and his face turned pale. After a while, he raised his head and handed the letter to Zheng Xiaoliu. He squeezed out his voice and said, "Hurry up Zheng , this letter—you put it away for now, don't let the guards see it..."

"What letter is not allowed to be read by Zhan?"

A clear voice suddenly sounded, and a person pushed the door and entered. He was wearing a blue shirt and pine shadow, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. It was Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank guard with a knife.

"Master Zhan, Mr. Zhan..." When Zheng Xiaoliu saw the person coming, he clasped his fists in a salute, and immediately left Mr. Gongsun's hand delivering the letter in the air, neither to take it back nor to send it forward.

Zhan Zhao swept his dark eyes, and caught a glimpse of Mr. Gongsun's unusual expression. He took a step forward, reached out and took the letter from Mr. Gongsun's hand, and read word by word: "I don't see you for a day, I miss you like crazy." ;The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it, and I will be haggard because of Yixiao;

Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death. "

The voice was as clear as water, one after another, causing ripples, but when he chanted softly, Zheng Xiaoliu, who was close at hand, turned red and dizzy.

After reading, Zhan Zhao glanced at Zheng Xiaoliu, who was blushing, and seemed to understand a little bit, smiled slightly, and teased, "I don't know whose girl is so lucky to be so favored by Zheng Zheng."

Zheng Xiaoliu's face turned even redder, she smacked her mouth twice, but didn't make a sound.

Zhan Zhao handed the letter to Zheng Xiaoliu, straightened his face and said, "Catcher Zheng, do you know where Captain Jin has gone, and why he hasn't seen you since it's time to practice?"

"This..." Zheng Xiaoliu glanced at Mr. Gongsun.

Mr. Gongsun hurriedly said: "Guard Zhan, Lieutenant Jin is on leave."

"Abstain from leave? When did you apply for leave? Why did you ask for leave? Why didn't Zhan know?" Zhan Zhao frowned, and blurted out four consecutive questions.

"This..." Mr. Gongsun, who is said to be resourceful, eloquent and eloquent, was a little tongue-tied at this moment, "Lieutenant Jin left in a hurry and didn't explain further, there must be something urgent..."

"Let's go?" Zhan Zhao took a step forward, "Where did you go? Urgent matter? What urgent matter?" There were three consecutive questions.

"This..." Mr. Gongsun took a step back slightly, wanting to talk about him from left to right.

"Mr. Gongsun?!" Zhan Zhao took another step forward, his momentum suddenly increasing.

"Master Zhan, Mr. Zhan..." Zheng Xiaoliu was almost unable to straighten his back under the pressure of Zhan Zhao, and hesitantly said, "Lieutenant Jin only read a letter..."

"Zheng Xiaoliu!" Mr. Gongsun hastily raised his voice to stop Zheng Xiaoliu's second sentence, but it was too late.

"A letter? What letter?" Zhan Zhao turned his head and looked straight at Zheng Xiaoliu.

"That's, that's..." Zheng Xiaoliu looked timidly at Mr. Gongsun with a pair of leopard eyes.

"Catcher Zheng!" Zhan Zhao said suddenly.

Zheng Xiaoliu's eyes closed, and her heart froze: "It's the letter you just read, Mr. Zhan!"

……

There was a dead silence in the study.

Mr. Gongsun raised his head and supported his forehead, shaking his head secretly.

Zheng Xiaoliu shrank her shoulders and arched her back, not daring to make a sound.

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao snatched the letter paper from Zheng Xiaoliu's hand, paused word by word, gritted his teeth and read: "I don't see you for a day, and I miss you like crazy; the clothes get wider and wider, and I don't regret it, and I am haggard because of Yixiao; Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death directly;”

The knuckles of the long and slender fingers turned white, and suddenly, the letter paper on the fingertips was torn and shattered out of thin air for no reason, and fell to the ground, which was actually shattered by the inner strength.

It took a long time before I heard a gloomy voice coming from Zhan Zhao's mouth.

"Did Jin Qian leave in a hurry after reading this letter?"

"Yes, yes..." Zheng Xiaoliu nodded hastily.

"Where did Jin Qian go?"

"Jin, Captain Jin didn't say anything... Besides, with the strength of Captain Jin's feet, I can't see where he went..."

"..."

"Lieutenant Jin just left a sentence before leaving to ask me to ask for leave for him..."

"Who is the messenger?"

"Yes, it's a young man dressed as a servant..."

"What does it look like?"

"This, this, this subordinate, this subordinate did not see clearly..."

"Didn't see clearly?!"

"Master Hui, Hui Zhan, this subordinate, this subordinate was only focused on looking at the strange inscription on the envelope, so they didn't pay attention to the appearance of the sender..."

"Payment? What is the signature?"

"Speaking of the inscription, it's a bit interesting. What is it called 'Xiangongzi, Shenggongzi', how can anyone call such a weird name..."

"Prince Xian...Prince Sheng..." Zhan Zhao's eyes were bottomless, and he read the two names slowly, which made Zheng Xiaoliu tremble from head to toe.

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao turned around sharply, his figure was like an arrow, and he rushed out of the room with a whoosh, and he could only vaguely hear the anger floating in the air converging into a voice: "Okay, very good...not here to practice...but I have a leisurely mood Before the flowers and under the moon... What a fairy... Sheng Gongzi..."

Only Zheng Xiaoliu and Mr. Gongsun looked at each other in the study.

After a long while, Mr. Gongsun let out a long sigh, stepped forward and patted Zheng Xiaoliu on the shoulder, and said quietly: "Catcher Zheng, have you ever heard this sentence from the mouth of a misfortune?"

Zheng Xiaoliu scratched his head, a little confused, so: "Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Zhan..."

Mr. Gongsun sighed and looked far away: "I hope Captain Jin will return soon..."

-

Two days later, the reed flowers fell into the empty island.

"Fourth brother——" a white shadow rushed into Fanjiangshu Jiangping's courtyard with bright sunlight, and asked anxiously, "Fourth brother, do you know who is called 'Xiangongzi, Shenggongzi' in Jianghu?" of?"

Jiang Ping, who was leisurely lying on a recliner under the shade of a tree, took down the goose feather fan covering his face, and looked at his fifth younger brother: "Young Immortal? Young Master Sheng? Where did you hear such a strange name, Fifth Brother?" "

Bai Yutang grinned, showing his gleaming white teeth: "Hey, fourth brother, Baili, a cat from Kaifeng Mansion, sent a letter to Feige in a hurry... Hehe..."

"Zhan Zhao?" Jiang Ping stroked his oily beard and blinked, "It's interesting that there are people Zhan Zhao doesn't know about."

"Fourth brother, have you heard of these two names?" Bai Yutang asked anxiously.

Jiang Ping lightly shook the goose feather fan, looked at Bai Yutang with an inscrutable look, and after a long while, said slowly: "I've never heard of it!"

Bai Yutang's peachy eyes suddenly widened.

"But..." Jiang Ping narrowed his eyes, and said slowly, "Listen to the name—it seems..."

"What does it look like? Fourth brother, don't hold your breath!" Bai Yutang said with a jump.

"The flower picker!" Jiang Ping said seriously.

"The flower picker?!" Bai Yutang's peach blossom eyes widened, rolled around twice, and smiled as if realizing something, "Let me just say, I think my Fifth Master Bai has been in the world for many years, how could it be possible for my Fifth Master Bai to be Weiwei?" The names I have heard before must mean that these two people are not in the world!" Before the words finished, Bai Yutang turned around and rushed out, shouting as he ran, "Fifth Master, I will pass on Feige Send the letter to that cat, so that the self-conceited cat can also read it, I am trapped in the empty island, it is better than their Kaifeng mansion...hehe..."

The white shadow flashed and disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Ping was shaking the goose feather fan in a calm manner, his eyes were squinted, and he said quietly after a long while: "What kind of thief picking flowers, I was just joking, but the fifth brother actually took it seriously..."

-

In a small town fifty miles away from Bianliang, Tokyo, Jin Qian is trying his best to show his hospitality to the two immortal old men opposite him: "Young Master...Young Master Sheng... Only two masters can give you such an elegant name." Think about it..."

"Haha, I knew that the apprentice would be able to guess that it was written by the teacher when he saw the signature on the letter." The medical fairy stroked his long snow-white beard and laughed.

Jin Qian twitched his face, maintained his smile, and continued: "That's natural, as the two master's disciples, I still have this ability..."

The immortal doctor nodded and asked kindly: "Does that disciple know what those three lines of poetry in the letter imply?"

Jin Qian's face twitched again: "The first sentence: 'I don't see you for a day, I miss you like crazy' must mean that the two masters miss their disciples very much..."

The medical fairy twists his beard.

"The second sentence, 'I will not regret it as my belt grows wider, and I will become haggard because of Yixiao' should mean that the two masters have encountered very difficult things, resulting in tasteless food, restless sleep, and thin body..."

Doctor nods

"As for the third sentence: 'Ask the world, what is love, and teach life and death directly' means..." Jin Qian paused when he said this, glanced at the two people opposite him, and said with a twitching face , "The meaning should be——if the apprentice fails to arrive in time, causing the two masters to encounter accidents, they must take the apprentice to Huangquan together!"

"Very good, very good!" The Immortal Doctor rubbed his palm and laughed, "This apprentice is so smart, he actually figured out the meaning of the teacher so thoroughly, what a blessing, what a blessing!"

"Master, thank you." Jin Qian hurriedly bowed his head and put on a humble look, but secretly wiped his sweat, and said in his heart: Tsk tsk, the three lines of poetry are strung together to form a central idea: "We are in trouble, apprentice come quickly Relief, if you don't come, hehe, you will definitely be unable to eat and walk around, our program of action is: even when you die, you have to hold your back!"

Thanks to our self-knowledge, we expected that no one would write any love poems for us, and with the vulgar title of "Xiangongzi, Shenggongzi", we could only think that it was written by these two old guys, otherwise, if we made a mistake I don't know what big mess is going to happen with these two old people!

"Okay!" The Poison Sage, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear his temper, and said in a cold voice with a sullen face, "Why bother talking so much nonsense, apprentice, quickly pay the money owed to this restaurant by the master! "

Jin Qian raised his head abruptly when he heard the words, his eyes were bulging, and his neck was stiff: "Could it be that the difficult thing that the two masters said in the letter is..."

"Ahem..." The Immortal Doctor coughed dryly, "I'm in a hurry to walk this time, and my luggage is limited, so..."

Jin Qian's eyes became more violent, and he blurted out: "With the skills of the two masters..." Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to eat a king's meal?

But before the second half of the sentence came out, he was interrupted by the poisonous sage: "What kind of people are we two, how can we do what that villain did?!"

Jin Qian was speechless for a moment.

"My little brother," the shopkeeper who had been waiting for a long time finally found a gap to interject, "These two have spent a total of 53 taels of silver in the past few days."

"53 two or four dollars in silver?!" Jin Qian turned his head with a stiff neck, looked at the shopkeeper for a while, and then took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened several layers, and took out a neatly folded bag. handed the banknote to the shopkeeper, and tremblingly said: "Here is the silver ticket of 55 taels..."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurried to draw the banknotes, but after drawing for a long time, he couldn't take the banknotes out of Jinqian's hand. Remember to change the money..."

"That's natural, that's natural..." The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded, then took out the banknote from Jin Qian's hand, and hurried away.

Jin Qian looked at the back of the shopkeeper going away, heartbroken.

The Immortal Doctor looked relieved, glanced at Jinqian, took a sip of the teacup and said, "Why bother to look for it, since there are still a few taels of silver left, why don't you ask Xiaoer to serve some more snacks to cleanse the disciples .”

Jin Qian suddenly turned his head to stare at Immortal Yi, his expression changed drastically.

The poisonous sage also said in agreement, "That's fine."

Jin Qian immediately rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with a thump. Before he fainted, he only had one heartfelt statement in his heart to continue venting: Damn you two prodigal gods, that’s our salary for half a year!

-

Two days later, in the study of Kaifeng Mansion.

Master Bao looked gloomy, and sighed at Mr. Gongsun.

"My lord, something important happened when I entered the palace to meet you today? Why?" Mr. Gongsun asked.

Master Bao glanced at Mr. Gongsun quietly, and said slowly: "Mr. Gongsun, what unusual behavior has the guards performed these few days?"

"This..." Mr. Gongsun paused, hesitated for a while before saying, "The Zhan Guard these days... seems to be quite concerned about some cases of picking flowers and asking willows, other... there is nothing unusual..."

"The case of picking flowers and asking willows?" Lord Bao twisted his long beard and mused for a while, "Could it be some kind of evidence that the guards of Lei Zhan care so much..."

"What evidence?" Mr. Gongsun wondered.

Lord Bao sighed and said, "It was yesterday when Zhan's guards were on duty in the palace, they unintentionally recited a few lines of poetry, which caused chaos in the palace and even alarmed the Holy Majesty..."

"What poetry..." Mr. Gongsun's face changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It seems to be 'one day I don't see you, I think about it like crazy; my clothes get wider and I don't regret it, and I am haggard because of Yixiao; I ask the world what love is, and I will teach you life and death'." Mr. Bao. With a long sigh.

A bead of sweat slipped down from the head of the Chief Registrar of Kaifeng Mansion.

Lord Bao glanced at Mr. Gongsun, and said again: "Mr. Gongsun, how old is Zhanwei?"

Mr. Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and said: "Guard Zhan has four out of twenty this year...why do you ask this question?"

Mr. Bao raised his hand to support his forehead: "The Holy Majesty summoned the manor today, and he was very concerned about Zhan Huwei's life-long affairs in his words, implying that the manor should find a good marriage for Zhan Huwei as soon as possible, so as not to avoid Zhan Huwei's life. I was free to recite poems and compose a pair, which aroused the palace maid's enthusiasm, and she didn't care to be on duty, which led to chaos in the palace..."

"This..." Mr. Gongsun couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his brow with his hand, "I'm afraid it's better to ask Zhan Weiwei what he means..."

Master Bao's expression darkened, and he said, "Although the Holy Majesty has not issued a strict order, he is very discretionary in his words...Mr. Gongsun should quickly contact a few matchmakers with a good reputation, and arrange a blind date for the guards..."

"Students know..." Mr. Gongsun bowed and cupped his fists, slowly exited the study, and sighed to the clear sky outside, "How to arrange this? Sigh... Captain Jin, you have made a big mess this time..."

-

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" He sneezed three times in a row, spraying Jinqian's snot and tears onto his face. Come on, why have you been sneezing non-stop for the past few days?" He raised his hand and wiped his eyelids for a few times before Jin Qian could see the street in front of him clearly, and couldn't help being taken aback.

Twisting his neck to look at the right side, squinting his eyes to look at the left side, standing on tiptoes to look at the distance, squatting down to explore the terrain, Jin Qian was even more puzzled.

Look left, look right, look up, look down...

That's right!No matter how you look at it, this is the front street of Kaifeng government office!

But look at this situation... Could it be that Lao Bao contracted the front street of Kaifeng government office to the vegetable market in order to increase income, increase income and reduce expenditure?

I saw that in front of the Kaifeng government office, at a glance, there were densely packed human heads, one by one, crowded one by one. It was really a sea of ​​people, filling the streets and alleys, and blocking the big street. Surprisingly, the majority of the crowd were matchmakers dressed in red and willow green, all of them rushed up with brightly colored handkerchiefs, and those who couldn't squeeze in would jump in line. Those who kicked their asses and pulled their hair, they really did everything they could. The crowd was even more exaggerated than the fan signing of modern popular idols.

There was also a matchmaker pushing forward, shouting:

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm a matchmaker for the daughter of Wang Yuan's family, the richest man in Bianliang City!"

A matchmaker over there did not show weakness: "What is Wang Yuanwai, I am a matchmaker for the daughter of Zhang Shilang's family who is the minister of the household department!"

"I'm the second lady of General Li's family..."

"I'm……"

Such and such.

Hearing this, Jin Qian was at a loss, and thought to himself: When did the front street of the Kaifeng government office become a marriage agency?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian hurried forward and asked a matchmaker: "Dare to ask this elder sister, who are these people planning to match?"

The matchmaker gave Jin Qian a contemptuous look and said, "You don't even know about such a big deal?! Three days ago, Mr. Gongsun of Kaifeng Mansion said that he would help Mr. Zhan of Kaifeng Mansion to arrange a good marriage. All the matchmakers with a radius of hundreds of miles were invited by Miss Qianjin, a big official and rich family in Bianliang City, and they are all queuing up here to go to the Kaifeng government office to talk to Mr. Zhan as a matchmaker!"

"What?!" Jin Qian's expression changed drastically when he heard that, "The Lord Zhan you mentioned in Kaifeng Mansion is Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword?!"

The matchmaker gave Jin Qian a sideways look, and snorted, "Could it be that there is another Mr. Zhan in Song Dynasty who can make the young lady of Bianliang City like this?"

Jin Qian stared wide-eyed, his lips trembled, suddenly jumped up out of thin air, stepped on the shoulders of all the matchmakers, and rushed into the crowded Kaifeng government office like a gust of wind.

-

"Master Zhan, take a look at the daughter of the Wang Yuan's family, she is a shameless woman, she looks so handsome!"

A matchmaker pulled a picture scroll and pasted it on Zhan Zhao's face.

Zhan Zhaojian frowned, his handsome face turned black, his feet swayed, and he turned around without a trace, leaving the matchmaker in the air, but before he could stand still, another matchmaker rushed towards him, holding a picture scroll in his hand, smiling Said: "Master Zhan, as the saying goes, marrying a wife and marrying an idler, what's the use of being beautiful, let's take a look at the four thousand gold of Mr. Xu's family, she is called a beautiful, intelligent, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, knitting, and is proficient in everything. Such a daughter-in-law , is the first choice for marrying a wife!"

Zhan Zhao's face darkened, he turned around, and swayed over again, but within the time of turning around, another five or six matchmakers rushed up and surrounded Zhan Zhao.

"Master Zhan, look at the third lady of Master Qi's family, absolutely..."

"Master Zhan, let's look at the daughter of Wang Yuan's family first..."

Chirping, chirping, chirping, the noise almost knocked the roof off.

Inside the house, the four captains standing by the willows couldn't help clicking their tongues while watching.

"The appearance of sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon to shame the flowers, I don't think it is even half as good as Mr. Zhan." Zhao Hu glanced at the scroll and muttered softly.

"Hush, keep your voice down, it's not good for Lord Zhan to hear you." Wang Chao carefully glanced at Zhan Zhao who was surrounded in the center, and whispered, "Master Zhan's complexion is not very good-looking!"

Zhang Long curled his lips: "What about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and knitting, it's better to know some martial arts and medical skills. If you want me to say, my wife still needs to find a strong body. When the time comes, I will give birth to a few more fat boys to carry on the family line! "

Ma Han sighed: "I don't know what happened to your lord and Mr. Gongsun. Why did you suddenly want to arrange a blind date for Mr. Zhan, making the whole house restless..."

"Hey, it's not just the dogs and dogs in the mansion that are restless, I think the whole Bianliang City is going to be blown over!" Zhang Long said happily.

"Where is Mr. Gongsun?" Wang Chao asked.

"I ran to the adult's study to hide for leisure." Ma Han sighed.

The four looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Then why did you let us stay here?" Zhao Hu said.

"I'm afraid Mr. Zhan won't be able to hold on alone, so I will kill these matchmakers." Zhang Long speculated.

The four of them glanced at Zhan Zhao at the same time.

"It's not so good, Mr. Zhan's face is almost the same as his face." Zhao Hu said.

"The fist is also clenched." Wang Chao said.

"That's not clenching a fist, it's about drawing a sword!" Ma Han exclaimed.

"It's so murderous! It's bad, it's bad, it's bad! Hurry up and ask Mr. Gongsun to come to town!" Zhang Long shouted.

Before the words fell, the door was kicked open with a click, and a figure rushed in with a shout: "Get out of the way!!"

Everyone in the room was startled, and when they fixed their eyes, they saw the person standing at the door with his hands on his hips, his eyebrows raised coldly, and his narrow eyes full of fierceness. It was Jin Qian who had suddenly disappeared for several days on leave.

"Captain Jin?!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Jin Qian glanced at the group of matchmakers with wide-eyed eyes, and all the matchmakers shivered suddenly, couldn't help but backed up a few steps, and scattered three feet away from Zhan Zhao's side.

Wang Chao and the others felt that the murderous aura on Zhan Zhao's body suddenly disappeared a lot.

Jin Qian snorted coldly, walked up to Zhan Zhao in a few steps, turned around and blocked Zhan Zhao behind, put his hips on his hips and said in a cold voice: "With us here, let's see who dares to match-maker Mr. Zhan? !"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone in the room suddenly felt a warm spring rippling and drifting away. When they looked up, they couldn't help being stunned.

I saw Zhan Zhao standing behind Jin Qian, although he still had a handsome face, but deep in those black pupils, there was sparkling light, as if two pools of spring water had been rippling, swaying leisurely. Everyone's heartbeat was unstable and their breathing was difficult.

Jin Qian turned his back on Zhan Zhao, he didn't realize it, and he still said in a vigorous manner: "Master Zhan is a matchmaker, when will it be your turn?! To want to earn a big matchmaker red envelope from Kaifeng Mansion is simply tolerable and unbearable." !" Speaking of this, he turned around and cupped his fists towards Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, if you are interested in someone's daughter, just tell your subordinates, and your subordinates will go through fire and water, and you will be hurt!" Inserting a knife will definitely help you make a marriage, as for the red envelope of this big matchmaker..." Jin Qian blinked, "Master Zhan, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely pay less than these matchmakers..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and the more he spoke, the weaker his confidence became. Jin Qian found that every time he said one more word, the air-conditioning exuding from Zhan Zhao's body would increase a bit.

As for the rest of the people in the room, except for the four captains who barely stood against the wall, the rest of the matchmakers had already run away.

"Master Zhan, Mr. Zhan?" Jin Qian struggled to stand with his waist bent.

"When did Zhan say he wanted to get married?" Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes.

"This, this...isn't it?"

"Even if Zhan wants to get married, Captain Jin won't worry about it."

"Yes, yes... this subordinate is worrying too much..."

"Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu!"

"Subordinate, subordinate!"

"Send those matchmakers back, Zhan will inform the adults and Mr. Gongsun later!"

"Your subordinates obey!" The four captains rushed out of the door as if they had received an amnesty, leaving Jinqian standing alone in the room trembling.

After a while of silence, Zhan Zhao suddenly said:

"Who are Xiangongzi and Shenggongzi?"

"Eh?" Jin Qian was taken aback.

"Why did you send you a love poem?" Zhan Zhao said solemnly.

"Ah?" Jin Qian raised his head.

"But the flower picker?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"Huh?" Jin Qian was dumbfounded.

"Lieutenant Jin..." Zhan Zhao said half a sentence, his brows paused, his eyes flickered, "Although you are a man, but Zhan has read the case files of recent years, and today's flower picker... ...Lieutenant Jin...are you...are you alright?"

"Huh? Huh?! Huh?!" Jin Qian's face began to tremble along with his eyelids, until Zhan Zhao's face became extremely dark, and then he realized that he hurriedly clarified: "Master Zhan, you misunderstood, The fairy son and the holy son are, but the distant relatives of the subordinates, and those few love poems are, but the secret signal that they are in trouble, telling the subordinates that they are in trouble, that the matter is urgent, and the subordinates are unable to report to Zhan My lord has told me that this subordinate is really dereliction of duty."

Zhan Zhaoyi frowned: "Is that true?"

Jin Qian nodded hurriedly: "Indeed."

Zhan Zhao's face gradually softened, he nodded and said, "It's fine if nothing happens."

Jin Qian also heaved a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: It's all the fault of these two old guys, giving such a strange name is causing people to misunderstand.

"I wonder what trouble Captain Jin's two relatives encountered?" Zhan Zhao asked suddenly.

"Ah... it's just not paying back the debt..." Jin Qian said with a faint face.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Jin Qian, then nodded thoughtfully.

-

A few days later, in the study of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Long live has issued another decree not to allow guard Zhan to go on a blind date?" Mr. Gongsun was slightly taken aback.

Master Bao held his forehead and nodded weakly.

"Why?"

Lord Bao sighed and said, "A few days ago, due to the blind date of the guards and guards, the public security in the capital was in chaos, and several princes and ministers fought against the son-in-law in order to guard the guards, causing chaos in the court... "

Mr. Gongsun was stunned.

"Longyan was furious, and immediately issued an order: the lifelong event of Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife—let's delay it."

Mr. Gongsun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, that's okay. Captain Jin has returned safely, and the Zhan guards don't have to recite poems anymore..."

"What is the sir talking about?"

"Ha ha……"

-

A few days later, in the Confucius Courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion.

"Mr. Gongsun, what did you say?" Jin Qian stared in surprise.

Mr. Gongsun said slowly: "I'm saying that Lieutenant Jin's salary and guards have been taken away."

"Master Zhan?!" Jin Qian only felt that the whites of his eyes had a tendency to turn up, "Why, why?"

"Guard Zhan said——" Mr. Gongsun straightened his back, imitating Zhan Zhao's expression and said solemnly: "If the distant relatives of Captain Jin come to borrow money again, let them come to Zhan as much as possible."

"Huh?" Half of Jin Qian's face was stiff.

Mr. Gongsun smiled slightly, patted Jin Qian on the shoulder and said: "Guard Zhan must be afraid that Lieutenant Jin will be cheated of his salary when he was young, so he took care of Lieutenant Jin's salary. With the help of Guard Zhan, after Lieutenant Jin Take it easy."

Jin Qian stared straight at Mr. Gongsun, his breathing was stagnant, and after a long time, he let out a breath and said stiffly: "What Mr. Gongsun said is very, very..."

"It's good that Captain Jin understands."

Jin Qian nodded, and walked out the door in a trance.

I heard Mr. Gongsun say from behind: "Lieutenant Jin, it's better to inform Zhanwei if you want to leave in the future."

Jin Qian seemed to have not heard, and walked out of the gate listlessly.

Mr. Gongsun smiled slightly, shook his head, and murmured: "Now that you can't even get your salary, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ask for leave to go out..."

-

A few more days later, the island was trapped in the sky.

Bai Yutang grabbed a piece of letterhead and rushed to Fanjiangshu Jiangping's house, shouting excitedly, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, the cat from Kaifeng Mansion has replied."

"Oh?" Jiang Ping put down the teacup and slapped the goose feather fan twice, "Could it be for the last question about Mr. Xian and Mr. Sheng?"

"Probably so." Bai Yutang unfolded the letter and looked at it, frowning, "Did this cat take the wrong medicine or something? How did he start writing poems? It's inexplicable." Jiang Ping blinked and leaned forward: "Let me see."

Bai Yutang handed over the letterhead.

Jiang Ping took a look, his eyes suddenly enlarged and then suddenly narrowed, and said: "Fifth Brother, how did you reply to the letter last time?"

"According to what the fourth brother said, it is clear that the two saints and immortals are flower pickers." Bai Yutang replied, paused, and then asked, "What do these two lines of the poem mean by the fourth brother?"

"This..." Jiang Ping stroked his mustache thoughtfully, and said slowly, "I need to refer to the details for my brother."

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes: "I just said that the cat is stupid in the Gongmen, and the words are uncomfortable! Well, fourth brother, when you understand the details, I will tell the little brother."

After all, he flashed away and disappeared again.

Jiang Ping picked up the letter paper with a smile, and said slowly:

"The pipa is about to sound, but the painting is already finished. Humph, Zhan Zhao has a good literary talent, such a hidden acrostic poem—pihua... nonsense... Fortunately, the fifth disciple is impatient and didn't read it carefully. This letter should be destroyed as soon as possible." Well, when the fifth younger brother comes back to his senses, it will be bad..."

After saying that, Jiang Ping immediately tore up the letter in his hand, and then continued to drink tea calmly.

A few days later, in the courtyard of the third class of the Kaifeng government office.

"Jin, Jinqian, I really have no money, so don't force me..." Zhao Hu said with a mournful face.

"Zhao Hu, we are tight buddies, you can't just watch our brothers drink the northwest wind and ignore it?!" Jin Qian's eyes were fierce, and he pushed towards Zhao Hu step by step.

Zhao Hu's crying and mourning were even more serious: "My salary has been sent to my mother. I really have no money. I really have no money to give Jinqian your, that 'to the bone'..."

"It's 'shareholding, shareholding'!" Jin Qian continued to approach Zhao Hu with a smile on his face, "As long as Brother Zhao Hu 'invests' five taels of silver every month, we will have the capital to start a small business and turn around, and the year-end dividend will definitely be indispensable Brother Zhao's benefit!"

"I, I really have no money..." Zhao Hu stuck to the wall, almost crying, "Brother Zhang, Brother Ma, come and say something nice for me!"

Zhang Long said with a dark face: "Zhao Hu, you just give up! People who let Captain Jin focus on them, if they want to run away, they have no way!"

Ma Han said helplessly at the side: "Brother Zhao, you just admit it, the private money I saved without telling your sister-in-law is 'into the bone'... It's all the fault of Mr. Zhan, who cares about the salary, but the gold Captain... oh... if Cuilan finds out... oh..."

And in the courtyard of Houya Fuzi.

"Smelly cat, what do those two lines of your poem mean?!"

"What kind of poem is Brother Bai talking about?"

"You stinky cat is still pretending to be stupid! Yours is clearly an acrostic!"

"Zhan doesn't remember."

"Obviously you were the one who sent the letter to Xingkong Island!"

"Where is the poem?"

"..."

"Without evidence, brother Bai, don't frame Zhan."

"you!!"

"Brother Bai, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

"..."

Rumbling... Several big trees fell in response.

In the study room of the Confucius Institute.

"Mr. Gongsun, I feel that the mansion is a bit lively recently..."

"My lord, the students think so too."

"Oh...it's a bit too lively..."

"It's true what your lord said."
