Chapter 222 House
Li Zhubu returned to his room in trepidation. As soon as he saw Butler Wang, he immediately bowed with a flattering smile.
Steward Wang, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then waved his hand, "Stand further away, don't pass your illness to me, I still have to serve the city lord."
Li Zhubu's smile froze, and he took a few steps back in embarrassment. "Yes, I'll stand here then."
Steward Wang nodded, covered his mouth and nose and asked, "Do you know where Liang Yaoping is now?"
Li Zhubu tilted his head and thought carefully for a moment, "Since Liang Yaoping offended the city lord last time, he has been transferred to do the hardest and most tiring work. It has been so long, I really don't know whether he is dead or not."
"You don't know? How could you, as the chief clerk, not know?" Butler Wang glared at him and slammed the table.
"Please wait a moment. I'll check it right away. Right away!"
Li Zhubu was leaning against the wall, hurriedly looking through the books on the shelf. In the process, he accidentally knocked over a thick stack of books, causing dust to fly everywhere.
“Cough cough cough…”
This made Butler Wang cough madly. He said in dissatisfaction: "Why is there so much dust in your room? Did you do your job properly? I'll count a hundred times. If you can't find the details of Liang Yaoping and his family, then you just wait."
Li Zhubu had been gambling in the room for the entire day without eating or drinking. He was already exhausted and was hanging on by a thread. Now, he was provoked by Wang Guanjia. He became so anxious that his heart beat faster and everything he saw was blurry.
The more anxious you are, the harder it is to find.
Fortunately, he had some vague impression of Liang Yaoping's children. The girl was good-looking and knew some martial arts. The boy cannot carry things, but he has outstanding literary talent. As soon as the two of them arrived in Ningguta, they accidentally offended the owner of the shop of the Jiangnan Xu family in Ningguta. At that time, the owner seemed to have asked him for help, saying that he would make this family suffer. However, he did not expect that before he could do anything, the father of these two people directly angered the city lord. It seems that this family is a trouble-making family.
Where did you go...
It seems to be Coal Hill? ?
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Coal Hill!"
"Who are you talking about in Coal Hill?" asked Butler Wang.
"Liang Yaoping's children! I'm sure these two are in Coal Hill! As for the others, you just need to send someone to find these two and ask them!"
Butler Wang thought it made sense. He didn't know whether Liang Yaoping was dead or alive, but he had to take his children back to report. The city lord had also given instructions to the nobleman. As long as he could buy some time, other things would be easy.
"Someone come!"
"I'm here!" The yamen runner appeared again.
"Hurry up and go to Coal Hill to get me Liang..." Butler Wang said halfway, turned his head and looked at Li Zhubu, "What do you mean Liang?"
"Liang Keke, Liang Qingying."
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and find these two people and send them to the City Lord's Mansion! Quickly!"
"Yes! I will go find him as quickly as possible."
The yamen runner left after he finished speaking. Steward Wang also stood up and added before leaving: "Hurry up and sort out the situation of Liang Yaoping and his family over the years, and then hurry to the City Lord's Mansion. Maybe the City Lord will ask questions in person."
"Ah?" Li Zhubu was frightened.
"Any questions?"
"No, no problem."
"Do you know what you should say and what you shouldn't say?" Butler Wang's eyes were full of warnings.
“Yes, I know!”
"That's good, let's move quickly." Butler Wang left first.
"Yes! I'll be there right away." Li Zhubu was in tears.
…
Su Chengnan and others who had been waiting in the City Lord's Mansion were chatting with Han Liping.
"I never expected that you are Mr. Sun Liangyuan, whom the late emperor had requested for invitation many times. I am so sorry for not recognizing you before. How disrespectful!" Han Liping stood up and bowed, performing the etiquette of a student.
"Don't be so polite, City Lord. My ambition is not to be a high-ranking official. I think teaching and educating people and doing research are more interesting. I am free and happy."
"Yes, sir, your realm is not comparable to that of ordinary people like us."
Han Liping was really shocked. He didn't expect that Sun Liangyuan would be related to the Ningyuan Palace. During the half cup of tea just now, he had already figured out that Mr. Sun valued this girl very much. So, who is she?
Su family, Liang family? How could that bastard Liang Yaoping have such a good relative? It's really a ghost!
"Miss Su, your brothers and sisters are so lucky to be taught by Mr. Sun. I am so envious of them."
"I am indeed very lucky! But I am also fortunate to have met you thanks to the blessing of the prince, so I always remind my brothers and sisters to study hard, respect their teachers, and serve the country first in the future, whether they are studying literature or martial arts!"
"Serve the country! This is a very good saying!" Han Liping's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. Although he had a smile on his face, he felt in his heart that Miss Su's words were meant to implode. Her younger brothers and sisters should probably be loyal to the Ningyuan Palace, right?
"I wonder if you two have bought a house in advance before coming to Ningguta?" He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan looked at each other, and she smiled and said, "We should have prepared in advance, but unfortunately the weather was bad, and the people who went ahead were delayed for a long time on the road, and we caught up with them, so we had to make plans after we got here."
"It's okay, it's okay. My City Lord's Mansion is very big. Usually, only my wife and I live here. It's empty and deserted. If you two don't mind, you can stay here and treat it as your own home."
Han Liping had been reminded by his servants that the door was filled with their carriages and luggage. With such a grand display, there must be a lot of treasure. No matter what the Ningyuan Palace wanted to do, he would never make enemies. Being kind to others was his code of conduct.
Su Chengnan stood up and bowed, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "The city lord is so hospitable, we shouldn't refuse, but my younger brother and sister are still young and naughty, and the prince has assigned them some martial arts teachers and has high hopes for them. They have to get up early every day to practice martial arts, and I'm afraid it will disturb the city lord and his wife too much. We should find another place."
Han Liping did not give up:
Miss Su is worrying too much. Madam likes children very much and I'm afraid she won't be happy enough. ”
Su Chengnan sat down with a smile. It was Sun Liangyuan's turn to come up and say, "We appreciate the city lord's kindness. It's mainly because my method of teaching children is a bit harsh and a bit inconvenient... Haha, please don't blame me, city lord!"
"Sir, you are too kind! Well... since you have said so, I will not insist. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me. Don't be polite."
"That's for sure. Thank you, City Lord!"
As they were talking, a flute sound came from outside.
Hearing this, Su Chengnan finally felt relieved.
It seems that Bingsan has already found a good house and is leading everyone there first...
