67 Handover
As he rode through the street on horseback, Chu Wei's expression paused. A carriage just stopped in front of a jewelry shop, and what got out was a girl he hadn't seen in two days.

She smiled brightly and walked in next to a man.

Zhang Ku saw that his father was very concerned about this, so he slowed down his horse without saying a word. When he passed the shop, he stopped and went in to greet her: "New girl, what a coincidence."

"This, I want this," Xinnuo was giving instructions, regardless of the expression on Xu Ruqing's face who took the initiative to take her to the jewelry store. Hearing the greeting from behind, he turned around, saw Zhang Ku, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, Are you here to investigate a case?"

Zhang Ku quickly waved his hand: "Girl, I can't afford to call you a brother. What are you doing?"

As he said this, he looked at Xu Ruqing, whose smile couldn't even touch his face.

Xin Nuo patted Xu Ruqing's shoulder and said, "He said my jewelry was boring and invited me to look at it."

Zhang Ku said, and then looked at Xu Ruqing to see if he could compare with his father. After making sure that this person could be crushed in front of his father, he smiled relaxedly and said, "Okay then. , New girls, you continue to look at the jewelry, and the villain will leave first."

Xinnuo really wanted to ask Zhang Ku if there was any murder yesterday, but this question would definitely arouse unnecessary suspicion, so he just said: "Bye."

What does bye mean?
Zhang Ku scratched the back of his head and went out.

Xin Nuo turned around and smiled at Xu Ruqing: "Brother Xu, pay quickly."

The shopkeeper behind the counter almost smiled and said: "Chenghui 86 taels of silver."

"Ten taels?"

Xu Ruqing's shocked voice was heard outside. Zhang Ku heard it and felt even more relieved. He couldn't even afford more than 80 taels of silver for the girl, so what else could he do to save his face?

Even he, if he wants to marry a wife, can afford to spend a hundred or ten taels of silver to buy jewelry for the woman.

Xiao Shan found out that Zhang Ku had fallen behind after walking for a while. He turned around and saw the guy following him with a smile on his face, and asked, "Where have you been?"

Zhang Ku touched his beard and whispered: "I was looking at the new girl's back just now, didn't you notice?"

"So you went to say hello to the girl?" Xiao Shan asked, a little surprised.This big boss’s carefulness can still be put to good use!

Zhang Ku said: "We can't worry about the things that I care about."

Before he finished speaking, the horse walking in front of him slowed down, and the gentle and reserved man sitting on it tilted his head slightly.

Zhang Ku then rode forward. Just as he was about to boast about his achievements, he heard a faint rebuke: "Don't pay attention to private matters during official business."

Zhang Ku hurriedly admitted his mistake, but he never thought that you cared so much about any girl. It turns out that you still have time to separate business and private matters.

At this time, they were almost outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion. Zhang Ku waited a little longer and heard another question: "Since you asked, who is she with?"

Zhang Ku and Xiao Shan and Hu Ping who were behind him smiled, and then said seriously: "The man named Xu is a distant relative of the Cheng family. When my subordinates looked at it, they found that man is far less handsome and handsome than me."

Although he was a little uncomfortable, Chu Wei was inexplicably relieved after hearing these words.

Su Zhaoqian led the way, but when he turned around and saw no one following him, he stopped and waited with a smile, when a "Daddy" was heard.

A little girl wearing a beige gauze summer dress ran out of the flower-filled path in front. When she saw the tall man with jade and gold, a touch of shyness spread across her face.

"Fan'er, why are you here in front?" Su Zhaoqian knew this, but he was very self-aware and did not want to use his daughter as a ladder to climb up. His complexion was not very good now.

Seeing her father's dissatisfaction, Su Fanyan felt timid, but when she thought about leaving Beijing soon, she felt very reluctant.

Even though she couldn't often see this amazing man when she was in the capital, it was difficult to hear news about him when she was outside.

Su Fanyan stepped forward, saluted, and said, "My mother said that I am careful, so she sent me to help my father and Ruiminghou clear their accounts."

This was even more confusing. There was no need for a woman to clean up the court's accounts. Su Zhaoqian frowned and said, "Father, there are several accountants here. I don't need you. Go back and pack your luggage."

Su Fanyan didn't expect that her father would not just agree to it in a daze, but would reveal it clearly without giving any face.

She was a girl, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stay, so she turned around and left with a sigh.

Su Zhaoqian raised his hand to wipe his forehead and said apologetically to Chu Wei: "Master Hou is laughing."

In the officialdom, you can call this young man Master Chu and treat him like an equal, but in private, whoever dares to call him Master Chu must be Ruiminghou, right?
Chu Wei didn't mind and said, "It doesn't matter."

The warehouses, especially the arsenal, took all morning to hand over. Su Zhaoqian intended to invite Chu Wei to a restaurant not far from Jingzhao Mansion for dinner, but was rejected and had to send him away.

Before he walked out of the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion, the sound of drums was heard. Su Zhaoqian, who had never thought the drums could be loud before, now felt his eardrums vibrating.

Who, who, can't he be allowed to hand over quietly, and then leave this yamen?
Su Zhaoqian laughed and said: "In the past, this drum didn't sound even once every ten days and a half."

Chu Wei said: "Since you have something to do, let's go and take a look."

It looked like he was going to interrogate a case.

Su Zhaoqian couldn't help but eat first, so he came out of the side door and walked a dozen steps east, which was the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.

Chu Wei's eyebrows skipped a beat when he saw the frail girl holding up a drumstick and banging it.

In the wide summer clothes, the girl's figure is even more frail, making people look at her and worry about whether the drumstick can fall off her beautiful wrist.

Standing next to him was a man dressed in fine silk brocade. Behind him were several arrogant followers. One of them said carelessly: "Even if you break this drumstick, what can you do to my young master?" Do you really think you can sue and win in court?"

On the girl's side, a middle-aged man with his trousers rolled up looked like he was from a poor family, holding a pale girl in his hand. The eyes they looked at the people over there were filled with fear and fear.

Hearing the words of the entourage, the middle-aged man pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something.

The girl, on the other hand, looked relaxed and didn't know what fear was at all.

Chu Wei didn't notice, but every time he saw the girl, a smile filled his eyes unconsciously.

"Since you've beaten the Dengwen drum, let's all come in." He said faintly. Hearing this voice, Xinnuo turned her head and saw him. She was still thinking about what the scene was at this time. She didn't say anything else.
