The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 96 Homesick Night
Hua Xiyu raised his wrist to look at the watch. It was almost twelve o'clock. He could not play with the little brat anymore. "Remember to think of me. I still have work to do. I can't play with you today."
The two children followed Chunliu reluctantly.
Hua Xiyu raised his wrist to check his watch again. It was past 12 o'clock. He looked at the horses in the stable. He had only brushed three horses and had not had time to feed them. The other companions had brushed and fed the horses and went to have lunch.
Hua Xiyu also followed the crowd to have lunch. The stable had a separate kitchen, and a horseman's wife was responsible for cooking. Not to mention the quality of the food, staying alive was the most important thing, so the quality of life could be put aside for now.
After returning from dinner, the room was too hot to sleep, so she had to continue brushing the horses and finish the work she had missed in the morning.
At this moment, she missed air conditioning so much. When she thought of air conditioning, she thought of her RV and wondered how she could drive the RV into Huicheng. Alas, she couldn't leave the city now and could only sigh.
She finally finished brushing the horses and feeding them. It was already past 3 p.m. and she was so sleepy that she went into the hut, lay on the simple wooden board and fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, she was looking for the way, driving fast, finding the way home, and then speeding on the highway.
After Liu Jingcheng left the stable in the morning, he went to the General's Mansion with Gu Wuhuan. Fu Tingxuan was awake, but in response to their questions, he only had three words: "I don't know."
He was unconscious the whole time, so of course he didn't know anything. He also couldn't say anything about the emperor's rescue. As the emperor's close guard, everything about the emperor was a secret. He didn't even dare to tell his parents, let alone other people.
"I want to arrange for someone to enter the palace and join your guard camp." Liu Jingcheng did not have the consciousness of asking for help at all, nor was it a discussion between friends. It was more like a superior arranging a subordinate.
Fu Tingxuan was lying on the bed and ignored them. Are they here to visit a patient? Are they here to torture me?
"Fu Er, who bandaged all these injuries? Do you really not know?" Gu Wuhuan was not giving up. With such great medical skills, he must worship him as his master.
"Master Gu, I also want to know who bandaged me. Before I passed out, I only saw a fairy sister in white clothes and a pair of bright black eyes. She told me that I would be fine after a good sleep. So I slept peacefully, and when I woke up, I was home, and sure enough, I was fine."
"You are so stupid," Gu Wuhuan said hatefully.
"It's really stupid," Liu Jingcheng echoed, and he didn't even know how he came back.
Fu Tingxuan also agreed with this statement, it was quite stupid. If he had known to hold on, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to find someone now.
The two of them went there with high hopes, but returned in disappointment. Fu Tingxuan only said that he was in a daze, as if he was sitting in a carriage, and thought he was coming back in a carriage, and he knew nothing else. But Liu Jingcheng still got some information from his fragmentary words.
Because Yiqi also said that he was in a carriage, but it was not as bumpy as a normal carriage. These things need to be investigated slowly and carefully, it is impossible that he flew back by himself.
The two said goodbye and walked to the Mangrove Court Hotel. They smiled at each other, understanding each other's intentions, and walked in at the same time.
Zhai Liangyu has been waiting for Prince Hong here for many days. The Hongcun Pavilion Hotel was opened in the second year after he arrived in Huicheng. It provides a one-stop service including tea tasting, drinking, dining and accommodation.
He did not completely copy the modern way of doing things. When in Rome, he followed the local customs. Just like when McDonald's came to China, it no longer had the American flavor.
Mangrove Pavilion was built entirely in accordance with modern concepts to be a place suitable for ancient people to entertain themselves. It became popular in Huicheng as soon as it opened. In less than half a year, Zhai Liangyu made back his capital. Of course, he had to find a backer and someone to support the place. In an era when merchants generally had a low status, he had to cling to the golden thighs of powerful people.
Liu Jingcheng is his golden thigh, who gets 20% of the profits from the Mangrove Pavilion Hotel for free every month. His greatest use is that if someone comes to cause trouble or disrupt the place, the guards of the palace will be dispatched immediately, “You dare to touch Prince Hong’s property?”
Prince Xuan is a fool. He can be immune from any responsibility for whoever he hits or touches. Besides, he is a prince. The imperial power is greater than anything else. Who can shake him?
As soon as Liu Jingcheng and Gu Wuhuan stepped into the store, Zhai Liangyu received the news and hurried over from home.
Zhai Liangyu personally delivered tea to Liu Jingcheng's private room.
"Oh, Boss Zhai is not allowed to serve tea personally," Gu Wuhuan said.
"I am just a commoner, so what can't I do?" Zhai Liangyu put down the tea tray and poured tea for Prince Hong and Master Gu.
"It's rare to see Mr. Zhai so humble!" Liu Jingcheng also said.
"Really? Then I have to be careful." Zhai Liangyu never called himself a villain in front of the powerful and wealthy. He really didn't want to, so the most humble thing he could do was to call himself Zhai.
"If you want to ask for something, you must want to ask for something." Gu Wuhuan's gossiping heart was opened again.
"Zhai really has something I would like to ask for your help, Your Highness." Zhai Liangyu was not polite. When others asked him for help, no one was polite. He contributed both money and manpower, and helped people get things done without expecting anything in return. No one would be embarrassed to refuse someone who asked for help at a critical moment.
"It's rare. Tell me about it and see if I can help." Liu Jingcheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was really good tea. Mangrove Pavilion had a unique new way of drinking tea, boiling the tea with clear water, without beating the tea leaves or adding any seasonings. There was no bitterness of the tea at all, but it was refreshing and fragrant with a long aftertaste.
What Zhai Liangyu asked for was simple: he wanted two places in the Imperial Academy for his two younger sons, Zhai Chenxue and Zhai Chengrui.
In modern society, if you have money you are the boss and you are very important. But it was not the case in ancient times. If your family did not have an official position, you would also be looked down upon. In a society where everyone took it as their responsibility to be an official, Zhai Liangyu also wanted his younger son to pursue a career in politics.
Modern people are well aware of the importance of collusion between officials and businessmen. Since collusion is inevitable, why bother colluding with outsiders? Isn't it good for one's own brothers to collude? How can the benefits be wasted on outsiders?
So Zhai Liangyu wanted to ask for a place in the Imperial Academy for his two younger sons. What he wanted was not knowledge, but the status of a student in the Imperial Academy.
His two sons were over eleven years old. Under his personal education, their knowledge was no worse than any other student in the Imperial Academy, but they needed a famous teacher. A talented student needed a teacher to bring honor to him, and self-taught people were not popular.
"It's a small matter for the prince, but it's a difficult matter for a businessman like me," Zhai Liangyu said, "My son is already eleven years old. He has passed the provincial examination a long time ago, but his academic progress is stagnant. The teacher said that if he wants to make further progress, he must enter the Imperial Academy." Zhai Liangyu looked at him calmly, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when talking about asking for help. He did not show any humility when asking for help.
Gu Wuhuan likes this most about him. Although he is a businessman, he never belittles himself. No matter how powerful the person is, it seems like he and he are just friends helping each other.
This was indeed a small matter, and many people could help him accomplish it. Zhai Liangyu also chose again and again, and finally decided to find Prince Hong because he knew that although Prince Hong was not favored on the surface, he was actually the emperor's treasure. Moreover, the young master of Prince Hong's mansion had a watch, which meant that someone in Prince Hong's mansion shared a common secret with him. People who kept the same secret were more likely to become allies.
He has money and now needs power, and Prince Hong may be able to help him rise to the top, just like Lu Buwei back then.
Zhang Ailing said that one should become famous as early as possible, and Zhai Liangyu believes that one should also invest as early as possible.
When eating shit, you have to pick up the head and soak it in it to make it warm.
"It's such a simple matter. My cousin will give a letter to Mr. Tan, saying that he is sending two students to study here. Does he dare to refuse?" This is indeed not a big deal. It is easy to get in, but it is difficult to gain a foothold. All the students inside are children of powerful and wealthy people. The two children from merchants' families will definitely be bullied after they get in.
However, Zhai Liangyu is not afraid of this. As the son of Zhai Liangyu, he cannot suffer any loss in front of anyone, otherwise it would be unfair to him as a modern man.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Zhai Liangyu bowed solemnly without waiting for Liu Jingcheng to speak.
Since the prince didn't refuse, that means he agreed.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the watch on his arm. He had specifically asked his second son to wear it, and it was also the gift he was going to give to Prince Hong today.
Sure enough, when Liu Jingcheng saw the watch on his wrist, he found it was exactly the same as Hua Xiyu's (he naturally couldn't tell the difference in brand), except that it was a little bigger and a little smaller. The big one was suitable for men, and the small one was suitable for women.
"Master Zhai, what you are wearing is..." Liu Jingcheng didn't dare to say it casually because he was afraid that he might say something wrong.
"This!" Zhai Liangyu took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Liu Jingcheng, "I bought it from a guest from a foreign country a few days ago. I don't know what it is. Do you know it, Your Highness?"
"I wonder where that foreign guest is now. Can you introduce him to someone?" By finding the person who sells watches, you can find where Hua Xiyu came from.
"It's really unfortunate. The man has been gone for several days. He must have returned to the foreign country." Zhai Liangyu lied without hesitation.
"Your Highness, do you want to buy it? Then I, Zhai, will keep an eye out for you." Zhai Liangyu felt a little emotional. It seemed that everyone had similar ideas. They all kept things secret for fear that others would know.
"That's not the case. Brother Zhai, can you help me find out where this thing came from and what it is used for?" Since he himself has one, he naturally knows its origin.
"This, Zhai has looked into it very clearly and knows everything about this watch." Zhai Liangyu took the watch handed over by Liu Jingcheng and put it on his wrist skillfully.
When Hua Xiyu woke up, it was already past dinner time. He went to the palace's big kitchen to fry two eggs and cook a bowl of noodles for himself. He wanted to eat meat, but couldn't find it anywhere. He thought that in an era without refrigerators, meat would definitely not be able to be preserved.
After dinner, I returned to the stable hut and lay on the wooden bed to kill time. There was no TV, no internet, nothing. There was only a candle swaying with a faint light. I thought about the glamorous city life with its neon lights.
This is the time to go see a movie, go ice skating, play a ball game, swim, or have a night beer. At worst, you can surf the Internet, chat with family, make some special snacks, discuss some difficult physics problems or the universe and planets with friends or classmates, let your imagination run wild, talk nonsense, and then drink together. How happy life is.
At this moment and in this place, it was pitch black all around and terribly quiet. The bean-sized candlelight was so fragile that it had no sense of existence. There was even a strange smell in the small house that was converted from a stable. It was time for her to think about how to face the future life.
Hua Xiyu lay on the bed, recalling bit by bit everything he had learned about hyperspace, time bending, space folding, parallel universes, Möbius strips, etc., trying to find out which time and space he was in, and most importantly, find his way home.
She rushed to the roof and sat on the ridge to enjoy the cool breeze. On the left was the main courtyard of the palace, and on the right was the stable. The stable was separated from the palace as it was a place for raising livestock.
Looking at Huicheng, the street lights are dim, and occasionally a candle flame quietly pops up. The sound of the night watchman comes from far away, and one stick after another hits the copper plate. After the main melody of bang bang, there is the lingering sound of metal vibration, tearing the quiet night apart wave by wave.
She looked up at the sky. A crescent moon hung obliquely in the night sky, surrounded by stars. Are we under the same starry sky?
Look at the stars, one, two, three, four..., connected into a line...
Humming the song did not make her depressed mood better at all. Although she told herself that she had to obey if she could not change it, the contrast was too great and she could not help but miss the good times in the past.
Especially the air conditioning and WIFI, as well as a group of relatives and friends whom I can’t even remember.
She looked at the sky, humming a song, and completely forgot everything around her. Since she came to the stable yesterday, her every move was presented to Liu Jingcheng.
In the palace, the emperor was also listening to Ying Qi's report, and Hua Xiyu's every move was under Ying Qi's surveillance.
