Chapter 419: No Results
Song Ruize had just returned to the East City Military Affairs Office. Chen Yong rushed back from outside after hearing the summons. He strode into the place where Song Ruize was doing his work and asked, "Brother Ze, are you looking for me?"
Song Ruize put down the letter in his hand, pointed to the opposite side, and said, "Sit down and talk."
Jiang Qibin and others lay at the door, listening to the conversation inside. Several people leaned against the wall to listen, but they could not hear anything.
Crash! The door opened and several people fell in.
Chen Yong stood in front of them, pinching his fingers, and his knuckles made crackling sounds.
"Brother Yong, please calm down. We can talk nicely." Jiang Qibin immediately begged for mercy.
"You're such a coward." Zhou Jinyuan said unhappily, "You still expect a girl to like you?"
"Hey, to use Huiyin's words, you can't make personal attacks." Jiang Qibin patted his chest, "Brother, I am also a handsome man, who knows, there might be a girl who is blind enough to fall in love with me?"
"Come in everyone." Song Ruize shouted.
Upon hearing this, several people immediately slipped in beside Chen Yong and stood in front of Song Ruize.
"Brother Ze, what do you want me to do?"
"You find an official matchmaker and bring Chen Yong to propose marriage to see what the girl's parents think. If there are no major problems, you can start preparing for the wedding." Song Ruize said.
Several people were shocked.
Several pairs of eyes looked at Chen Yong in surprise: "Brother Yong, are you interested in that girl? Then why have you been so awkward these days? I feel sorry for the girl."
Chen Yong blushed, scratched his head and said, "I'm not smart, I don't talk, I'm not good-looking, she grew up in the capital, her father is an official, she's a daughter of an official, how dare I marry someone so high up?"
"Nonsense. You are extremely strong and have a sturdy build, so aren't you a hundred times stronger than a weak nerd? The lady has chosen you, and you still don't believe in her vision?" Jiang Qibin said, "Okay, we will take care of this matter. We will start preparing now. As long as the other party's parents agree, we will prepare the betrothal gifts immediately."
"Chen Yong..." Song Ruize pushed two pieces of paper over. "This is my wedding gift to you."
"Banknotes? Come on, let's see how much. Our brother Ze is always generous..." Jiang Qibin's eyes widened. "The title deed of the capital, and one hundred acres of good farmland outside the capital..."
"Brother Ze, this is too much. The brothers follow you and have a good life. We receive a lot of money every month. Although we all work in the military department, the brothers in the military department of Dongcheng are much richer than those in other cities, so there is no need to worry that everyone will take risks for money and do harm to the people. I have saved a lot of money now, so I can buy a house and land by myself."
"The house that Brother Ze gave you is not far from where we live now. It's a big mansion, and it can be sold for five thousand taels of silver. And this fertile land, one hundred acres, also costs another five hundred taels of silver." Jiang Qibin said.
"Brother Ze, this is too expensive. I can't accept it." Upon hearing this, Chen Yong refused even more forcefully.
"You are all brothers who have been through thick and thin with me. Last time, you suffered because of me. You never complained, and I never comforted you. However, since we are brothers, we should share the joys and sorrows. I can't let you suffer while I enjoy everything alone, right? Don't worry, not only you have it, but they have it too. Since you are all here, I will give it to you in advance!"
As Song Ruize spoke, he took out several house deeds and land deeds.
"All the house deeds and land deeds are written with your names. If you are not satisfied with anything, tell me and I will change it for you."
Everyone took the things Song Ruize handed over and distributed them to the "masters" according to the names on them.
Song Ruize is equally good to every brother, and they all have similar houses and fertile fields.
The brothers looked at the date on it and found that they had purchased it shortly after arriving in Beijing.
"I'm a little curious." Jiang Qibin's eyes were red, and he laughed, "We followed you all day, how could you have the time to do this? Did you get up in the middle of the night to do it?"
"Brother Ze, you are so sentimental all of a sudden. I can't stand it." Zhang Erzhu cried, "I will write a letter to my wife right now and ask her to bring the children to Beijing. We will have a home in Beijing now."
"Brother Ze, you know what our brothers mean, and they also know what you mean. We won't thank you. Anyway, we will follow you for the rest of our lives, and don't even think about getting rid of us."
The others nodded.
"Just go out if you have nothing to do." Song Ruize said awkwardly.
"Okay, let's go now." Jiang Qibin put the house deed and the land deed into his arms. "It doesn't matter whether I marry a wife or not, the important thing is that I have a house in Beijing, isn't that more attractive than a woman?"
As soon as they left the house, Jiang Qingnan came in with Zhang Zhen.
Song Ruize looked up when he heard the voice, recognized Zhang Zhen, and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Zhen first cupped his hands and said politely: "My master would like you to help check someone."
"Lord Tang, is there still a time when you need my help?" Song Ruize raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with sarcasm.
"It's related to our second young lady." Zhang Zhen dropped a heavy bomb.
Song Ruize looked at him sharply: "Who is it?"
"That man's name is Bai Qiu," Zhang Zhen said. "He's handsome, a musician, and he often goes in and out of the flower boats on the Love Lake. We sent people to investigate, but after searching for a long time, we could only find this information."
"Why is your Lord Tang investigating him?" Song Ruize thought of the figure on the flower boat, and a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes. "Is he approaching Yinyin again?"
Zhang Zhen told Song Ruize about the accident Qin Huiyin encountered at Nalan's house as he had said before, and explained that he met Bai Qiu there again. However, Bai Qiu said that he was just a musician who came to play at home.
"Got it." Song Ruize said calmly, "Qingnan, see the guest off."
Jiang Qingnan made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen cupped his hands: "Excuse me."
After Zhang Zhen left, Jiang Qingnan said, "We have investigated this person before, but the information we found was also simple. Since he is from Huainan, let's send our brothers from the underground account to Huainan to investigate."
"If he is just an ordinary musician and he and Yinyin just met by chance, I am not interested in who he is. However, if he is still trying to get close to Yinyin, then I have to find out his background."
Jiang Qingnan understood that this meant sending people to Huainan to investigate and see if this person could be found.
"How will the Zhu family handle this? They are plotting against Sister Huiyin and want her to marry that young master whose face was disfigured. This is really a despicable move."
"Don't they want to find a wife for that Mr. Zhu? There are so many women in the capital, isn't it easy to find wives for them?" Song Ruize said calmly, "You can arrange it. Let the Zhu family settle the marriage within half a month."
