Chapter 41
Whatever decision he makes, he will help him deal with it.Not to mention that just having an extra master in the mansion is not a big deal to him.
After settling everything, seeing that it was still early outside, just in time for his hungry stomach, He Zifan decided to take Jingqiu to eat delicious food.
When he was in the palace, he was a little tired of eating the dishes cooked by the imperial dining room every day.
It's a rare trip out, and it's not bad for a change of taste.
The two guards looked at each other, but they didn't dare to stop them.His Majesty only said to let them protect the empress, but nothing else.
On Jingqiu's recommendation, He Zifan went to a tavern.
The tavern was opened by Jingqiu's brother and sister-in-law. When Jingqiu was a child, there was a famine in the village, and the family ran out of food.When the family was about to starve to death, Ren Yazi went to the village to collect young children.
Besides her, Jingqiu's family had two older brothers. Her father chose to sell the youngest child, Jingqiu, to Ren Yazi for ten taels of silver. Jingqiu was less than five years old at the time.
Later, Ren Yazi sold her to the General's Mansion, and the General's wife wanted to choose two maids for her only son.One can not only take care of him, but also be a playmate.
Jingqiu was selected by the general's wife because of her cute looks and sweet mouth, and she was sent to He Zifan's courtyard together with Huanchun, and was promoted step by step from the third-class maid to the first-class maid.
A few years ago, Jingqiu's eldest brother opened a tavern and made a lot of money.
Feeling guilty, she found the General's Mansion and wanted to redeem her own sister from the General's Mansion.
He Zifan also asked Jing Qiu for his opinion. In his opinion, the two maidservants who grew up with him were as important as He Yi.
If one day they want to get married, he is willing to fulfill them.
He also said personally that when they got married, he would personally send a big gift to congratulate them.
But Jingqiu resolutely refused, and she chose to stay in the He Mansion to take care of the young master.
Although Jingqiu did not forgive her parents who sold her out, the relationship with her eldest brother eased a lot.
Usually when I have free time, I will go out of the house to meet my elder brother and bring some gadgets to his children.
He Zifan didn't know these things, but Jing Qiu told him during the chat on the way to the tavern.
He Zifan would not comment on this, as long as Jingqiu herself is happy.
The location of the tavern was relatively remote, and a group of people took a carriage across half of the capital from the General's Mansion to arrive.
But according to Jingqiu, her elder brother had learned from famous chefs in a big restaurant.
Later, when her master passed away, her elder brother chose to open a tavern to support the family. Unexpectedly, the business was pretty good and he made a lot of money.
When the group arrived at the tavern, there were only a few scattered tables inside because it was not time for dinner.
Standing in front of the counter was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, fiddling with the abacus, obviously doing the accounting.
When he looked up and saw them walking in, a look of surprise flashed across the boy's face.
"Little aunt! Long time no see, aunt is much prettier. My nephew is really envious."
Jing Qiu said with a sneer: "You, you have such a sweet mouth at such a young age, you know how to make me happy. Okay, where is your father? Hurry up and ask him to come out and meet the nobleman."
"That's not necessary. Since you've already come out, you don't need to be too polite. Everything is easy." He Zifan said softly.
Jingqiu is worthy of serving He Zifan's side for many years, and soon understood what her master meant.Take people to the private room to settle down, and go down to make arrangements for yourself.
Looking at the two bewildered guards in front of him, He Zifan smiled gently and said, "The two of you must be tired from traveling with me, why not sit down and have a meal together. You don't have to follow those rules when you are away from home."
"This..." The two looked at each other with a slightly embarrassed expression.
He Zifan reminded: "I don't like being watched by others when I eat. If you don't stay here, then I can only ask Jingqiu to arrange a table for you alone. If there is any danger, you may not be able to save it in time." I."
These words woke them up, and the two of them no longer refused, and found a seat to sit down.
Within a quarter of an hour, Jingqiu and another older middle-aged man came up with vegetables.
After the food was served, the middle-aged man scratched his head and smiled naively: "I heard my younger sister say that you are the young master of the General's Mansion. Thanks to you, my younger sister has not been wronged all these years. My name is Li Dazhuang, and you will be useful to me in the future." Just give orders directly." After speaking, before everyone could react, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times.
Even Jing Qiu was taken aback by her eldest brother's behavior, but then her eyes turned red, and her heart was warm and very moved.
She always knew that her eldest brother was different from other relatives.
The eldest brother has loved her since he was a child, and he clings to her whenever there is anything delicious.
The eldest brother is more than ten years older than her, so it can be said that he watched her grow up.
Even after many years, only the elder brother felt guilty and took money all over the world to find her.
What the elder brother misses the most is to redeem her body, and then find her a good family to spend her life in peace.
Unlike the elder brother, the second elder brother and his parents lived every day with peace of mind with the money from selling her body.
For her existence, the family seemed to deliberately erase her existence.That's why the eldest brother couldn't bear it, so he ran out to learn art.

When he came back to his senses, He Zifan nodded and said, "I have written down what you said. I can rest assured that Jingqiu has such a good brother like you. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved in the future, go to He's mansion to find him." Forbe, he will find a way to notify me."
Li Dazhuang said with a silly smile: "You are a benefactor, how can I continue to trouble you!"
After speaking, he quickly greeted his wife to serve the dishes, while he went down to continue working.
After tasting Li Dazhuang's handicraft, he found that the taste was not bad.
You must know that since he came to this world, his food level can be said to be at the top level of this dynasty, and his taste has long been cultivated.
The dishes made by Li Dazhuang are somewhat similar to modern home-cooked dishes. Although they are not as exquisite as the imperial chefs in the palace, they are better than simple dishes that are close to the taste of the public.
After enjoying a meal to their heart's content, they even ate a lot with the two guards, and the distance between the three of them narrowed a lot.
While drinking tea and chatting after dinner, He Zifan realized that the two guards were from aristocratic families.However, they are all family bastards, and the resources they can share are limited.
In the end, he entered the Gyeonggi camp by virtue of his martial arts, and after going through various selections, he was assigned to the palace as a guard.
According to what they said, there are quite a few descendants of aristocratic families in the imperial guards, but most of them are the concubines of the family, or the second or youngest sons of small families.
Most of them have no talent in the imperial examination.In the end, I could only find a way to enter Gyeonggi Daying, and then climb up step by step.
For example, the two of them were able to be assigned to the emperor's side, in addition to their martial arts skills, it was also because of their dignified and upright appearance that they had the opportunity to see the sky.
During the chat, He Zifan learned many issues that he had never understood before, and also heard a lot of news from the previous dynasty from them.
But he is not stupid, he knows that these two people are sent by Gu Xiao, and he didn't ask some questions clearly, but made out of them in a roundabout way.
Even if they go back and report to Gu Xiao, I believe Gu Xiao will not be able to ask anything.
Seeing that it was getting late, the group of people prepared to head back home.
Before leaving, Brother Jingqiu stuffed a bulging package into her arms.
Originally, he wanted to give her some money, but Jing Qiu refused to accept anything, and asked him to keep it for the children to study.
When the carriage passed a small alley, several men in black suddenly appeared in the alley.The other party didn't say hello, and came straight to the carriage with a knife.
The driving guard immediately stopped the carriage and waved a big knife to meet the assassin in black.
The two guards that Gu Xiao sent to him were both top experts in the palace, but the men in black who came to assassinate him were not easy.
In addition, there were many people on the other side, and the alley was too narrow. After the horse was frightened, it began to gallop wildly.
Neither of the two people in the carriage knew how to drive, and the road was uneven, so the two of them were stumbling around in the carriage, unable to even stabilize their bodies.
Seeing that the carriage was about to gallop towards the main road, three assassins followed closely behind.
He Zifan knew in his heart that since there were assassins chasing after him, it meant that the two of them were caught by other assassins and couldn't care about this side at all.
When he raised his eyes to look forward, he found a child passing by not far away. He Zifan was so dumbfounded that he shouted, "Get out of here!!!"
Hearing the sound, two of the children ran away in fright.
One of the little girls seemed to be terribly frightened, and stood motionless, staring blankly at the carriage rushing towards her.
He Zifan was flustered and helpless, before he could figure out a way, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The opponent tapped his toes and jumped onto the carriage.He stretched out his hand to hold the rein, and after several times of comforting by him, the restless horse became extremely docile.
The little girl's family rushed to hear the sound, and they dared not say a word when they saw the scene in front of them. They immediately carried the child and left the place.
After looking at each other briefly, He Zifan quickly recognized that the man in white in front of him was Fu Zhao, whom he had met not long ago.
Thinking of the other party's identity, He Zifan hesitated whether to remind him to run.
Before he could make a sound, he saw Fuzhao rushing directly in front of the man in black, as fast as lightning.
In a few breaths, all three assassins were killed.
And Fuzhao's white clothes are not stained with slender dust, just like the lotus flower on the top of the snow mountain.
"Master, why are you here?" He Zifan asked in bewilderment.
If I remember correctly, the National Teacher's Mansion is not close to here, and the National Teacher doesn't look like a person wandering around.If it is said that they met by chance, it would be too coincidental.
Fu Zhao glanced at him indifferently, and his voice was as cold as frost: "It just so happens that you are in danger..."
Even if he didn't say anything later, He Zifan knew that the national teacher was here to save him.Pepper????????
