First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang
Chapter 86 The Lucky Hunter
It is true that the transaction between Emperor Longchang and Emperor Jing was kept secret from the outside world. Now, apart from these two people, only Wei Ling knew the real reason why Emperor Longchang pardoned Emperor Jing and was willing to confer the title of nobility on him.
In order to get the so-called treasure mentioned by Emperor Jing, Emperor Longchang also needed to capture the murderer who killed Emperor Jing alive.
Because Emperor Longchang knew that Emperor Jing was so afraid of death, and that he could tell him this secret in exchange for a chance to live, there was no reason why he would not use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the murderer.
That is why Emperor Longchang issued such an edict.
However, the decree had just been issued, and it would take some time for it to be transmitted from the capital to Mangcheng. Xie Yingfeng was able to learn about it in advance through special channels.
He must eliminate all hidden dangers to avoid leaving any clues that could be discovered in the future.
The news that Wei Ling was injured while catching a fox quickly spread throughout the military camp.
Although Xie Yingfeng said that Wei Ling needed to recuperate at home, many people still came to ask to see Wei Ling in the afternoon.
However, those who wanted to see Wei Ling were turned away by Su Jixiang on the grounds that Wei Ling was not feeling well.
Seeing people coming and going in front of his house like at a city gate, Su Jixiang couldn't help but complain about Xie Yingfeng. Now, originally Xie Yingfeng had to deal with the people in the army alone, but when the news of Wei Ling's injury was announced, he had to be the door god to block people!
Qian Feng also came to visit Wei Ling, but was also blocked outside by Su Jixiang.
Seeing that it was getting late, he decided not to go back to the military camp but prepared to go home.
His shift for the day was over and there was no need to go back again.
When he passed by Jibaozhai in the city, he was spotted by a sharp-eyed waiter, who rushed to the door in two steps and said, "Captain Qian! Are you getting ready to go home?" He hurried forward to salute.
When Qian Feng saw that it was this guy, he smiled and said, "Yes." When he thought of Zhao Xiuwan at home, he couldn't help but smile so much that his eyebrows curved.
How could Qian Feng, a rough guy, marry such a noble and beautiful woman? He was very happy from the bottom of his heart.
"A batch of new goods has arrived in the store, and the boss has instructed that they must be kept for Captain Qian. Captain Qian's wife is so beautiful, no one in Mangcheng can match her. Good jewelry should naturally be matched with a beauty like Mrs. Qian." The clerk knows how to do business, and his mouth is as sweet as honey.
Ever since Zhao Xiuwan and Qian Feng got married, she has come to Jibaozhai quite often, almost every day she would come and take a look around.
Although Qian Feng was happy after hearing what the waiter said, he did not move.
These days, he spent too much money on building up his family business and buying things for Zhao Xiuwan.
"It just so happens that my wife is not here today. It doesn't matter if you come. Pick one and bring it back to my wife. She will definitely be happy." Seeing Qian Feng hesitated, the waiter continued to persuade him. "Captain Qian, come in and take a look! Pick one! Take a look. It doesn't matter if you don't like it."
Seeing that Qian Feng still didn't move, the waiter continued to lobby, "The New Year is coming soon. This batch of goods is the last one before the New Year, but it is very popular. The captain also knows that there are too many soldiers in the barracks who have married new wives. If you pick one by one, these things will be picked up. If the captain comes tomorrow, I can't guarantee that everything will be complete. I came to stop the captain today because the goods have just arrived. You can come and choose first!"
Qian Feng was a little moved by what he said.
Even General Wei went to the mountains and personally caught a white fox for his wife. The fox was alive and he saw it in the military camp today. He was just buying a piece of jewelry for his wife and it only cost some silver, which was not a big deal. After all, the salary would be paid soon and the money would be enough for the New Year.
There are only so many things, and there are quite a few newly married people in the army. If you hesitate, the good-looking ones will be picked away by others.
If my wife knew about this, she would probably be unhappy.
"Then let's take a look." Qian Feng entered Jibaozhai.
There is a private room in Jibaozhai which is specially used for big customers like Qian Feng to concentrate on selecting jewelry.
The waiter led Qian Feng into a private room, served him tea and then turned to get the tray for Qian Feng to choose from.
Qian Feng had just taken a sip of tea when he heard someone talking outside.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that our boss is not here?" The waiter's voice came from outside, "Go away! You've come here several times, and our boss clearly doesn't want to see you and your son!"
"Young man, we've made some money!" a slightly old voice came, "Someone hired us to hunt in the mountains, and we got some money! Please help pass the message to your shopkeeper. If it weren't for my children's marriage, I wouldn't bother you again and again."
"Hey, old man, please don't delay my business!" The waiter's voice was very impatient. "What I have in my hands are all treasures. If one or two are missing, you can't afford to compensate! Let's go! Although our shopkeeper is not the owner of this Jibaozhai, we are also a well-off family. It is impossible for our daughter to marry into your mountain village and become the wife of your mountain people!"
"I'm really rich now! Look, this is a note for five hundred taels of silver!" said the old voice, "We can afford the bride price! Please tell your shopkeeper. We really want to marry his daughter. We also promise that she won't suffer after marrying here!"
"It's true! What kind of prey is so valuable?" The waiter's voice suddenly became a few notches higher, and he seemed very surprised. It seemed that the old man really had five hundred taels of silver notes.
Qian Feng was also curious after hearing this. Could it be that they hunted a tiger?
There are indeed tigers in this mountain, but few people can see them. They only move around in the deep mountains.
"We caught a white fox! A young man bought it for his mother's birthday." The old man said, "The young man was very generous and gave so much at once!"
"Wow, you are really lucky! Is it a real white fox?" asked the guy.
"Yes. A real white fox!" the old man continued.
"Then you guys wait. I'll go and ask for you after I finish serving the guests!" said the waiter.
The old man thanked him repeatedly.
After the waiter came in, Qian Feng asked, "Who is that?"
"Oh! I don't know why the hunter in the mountains insisted on coming here to propose marriage, and he has been pestering our shopkeeper for a long time. Although our shopkeeper is not the owner of this store, he is also a man of some reputation in this street. How could he marry his daughter to someone in the mountains? Because they were introduced by an acquaintance, I asked for a high price for the bride price. Who knew they could actually get enough money together! It's outrageous! They are really lucky!" the waiter laughed.
