Chapter 1944: Visiting
"Master, someone is coming to the house!" At dawn, the book boy Yang Lian hurriedly woke up Yang Jie.
Dressed neatly under the clothes of the two maids, Yang Jie asked him doubtfully: "Why did someone come suddenly? Is there something wrong at home?"
"It doesn't look like it," Yang Lian replied, "I said I was carrying a message for the master."
"Where is the person?"
"Waiting in the living room."
"Go and have a look."
"yes!"
The four masters and servants came out of the backyard and went directly to the living room.
Seeing the servants coming from the county, Yang Jie sat down directly: "What did my father tell you to bring?"
"Young Master," the servant who came riding wildly on horseback with sweat still on his face, "here is a letter from home. The master asked Zhang Xiucai to write it. Then he asked me to bring a message to the young master. After reading the letter, I will do as the master said. Don’t waste a moment!”
"Bring the letter." Yang Jie stretched out his right hand.
The bookboy Yang Lian standing next to him immediately walked over in his place, took the letter and forwarded it.
Opening the envelope, taking out the letter and reading it carefully, Yang Jie stood up in confusion: "You told me to deliver Uncle Niu Baoniu to the county no matter what? You want to treat him as a distinguished guest?"
"Master, this Uncle Niu is not that familiar with our Yang family and the master, is he?" Yang Lian asked curiously, "There is no relationship involved, so why is the master him?"
"Dad has his own reasons for everything he does." Yang Jie put down the letter, closed his eyes and thought before he said, "Since he asked me to invite Uncle Niu over, just do it. Yang Lian, why don't you go find Uncle Niu! Dad Let me go in person, let’s go there.”
"yes!"
Yang Jie took the book boy Yang Lian and two personal maids, and asked his servants to arrange for the messenger servant to go to the kitchen to eat. The four of them left the courtyard and went straight to Niu Bao's house.
"Master Yang? What are you?" Niu Xi finished breakfast and was about to go up the mountain to find Niu Shun. When he saw the master and servant of the Yang family coming to the door, he felt very confused.
"Is your father here?" Yang Jie opened the folding fan with a smile on his face.
"My dad? Here,
"I'm about to go to the Taoist temple to help," Niu Xi replied, "Do you have anything to do with him?" "
"I'm not looking for it, it's my father!" Yang Jie said.
"Uncle Yang? Why is he looking for my father?" Niu Xi felt strange. After all, the two families seldom interacted with each other and could not talk about friendship.
Yang Jie shrugged and responded: "I'm not sure, it should be something quite important."
"Really?" Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, Niu Shun was already ready, standing at the door and waving to him.
The matter of the maze was more important. Besides, he had just finished his quarrel with his father. No matter what he had to do with the rich man Yang, at least Yang Jie came to the door in person and looked pleasant and not looking for trouble. What's more, with that old man's temper, apart from quarreling with himself at home, he has never blushed or had a quarrel with outsiders in his life, so what big deal can he do?
Thinking of this, he immediately said to Yang Jie: "Master Yang, go in and tell my father yourself! Shunzi and I have to go up the mountain to chop firewood."
Yang Jie smiled slightly, took a step aside, and watched Niu Xi running over to meet Niu Shun. The two led the donkey cart up the mountain.
"Is this Young Master Sheep?" Hearing voices outside, Niu Bao came over to check. He found Yang Jie, his book boy, and two personal maids standing outside the door. He hurriedly made an invitation gesture, "Rare visitors, rare visitors! Please come in quickly!"
"No need!" Yang Jie bowed to him and said politely, "Uncle Niu, my father wants to invite you to the county seat. If possible, leave now. I will arrange a carriage for you and send someone to escort you."
When Niu Bao heard this, he was stunned.
He had never had any dealings with Mr. Yang, so why was he suddenly asked to go to the county seat?
It seems that I haven’t done any bad things related to the Yang family, right? You must know that before this, there was no elixir that Xizi brought back, and he had been lying in bed because of illness.
Could it be that Xizi did something?
The silver ingot suddenly appeared in my mind, and I was very frightened.
Oops! The money was probably stolen from the Yang family, and they came to investigate.
I thought my son had finally corrected his evil ways, but who knew that his true nature was hard to change!
"Master Yang, I have to go to the Taoist temple to help!" Niu Bao became nervous, his voice trembling.
"Uncle Niu, don't worry! I'll send someone to help you with the Taoist temple," Yang Jie said with a smile, "Also, I won't let your trip go in vain, Yang Lian!"
The book boy immediately took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms and hesitated in his hand.
"Hurry and get it!" Yang Jie turned around and saw him like this. He reached out and grabbed the copper coin, turned around and handed it to Niu Bao, "Uncle Niu, my people are supporting the Taoist temple, and the wages will still be yours. Then this It’s your expenses for going to the county town. You can buy whatever you want on the way and eat whatever you want.”
"This can't be done, this can't be done." Niu Bao was startled and thought to himself, why are you still giving me money?
"Uncle Niu, just take it!" Yang Jie forced the money into his hand, "I can't let your trip go in vain, can I?"
"This is inappropriate, inappropriate." Niu Bao was completely confused. If his son had done something to offend the Yang family, why did the young master of the Yang family speak so politely? And give yourself so many copper coins? Just for this bunch of copper coins, you have to practice at least three Taoist temples to earn it!
Could it be that the crime his son committed was so big that this is money to buy his life? Want to buy my son's life?
If I accept the money, won't he die?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Niu Bao hurriedly handed the money back: "Master Yang, I can't take it! I"
"Uncle Niu, you must accept it." Yang Jie blocked Niu Bao's hand with his fan and said with a smile, "Although I don't know why my father is in a hurry to find you, I can see from the content of the letter that he must have something to ask for, and only you, Uncle Niu, can help my father. This suddenly makes you go to the county town, and you feel uneasy all the way. You must accept this little money, otherwise you look down on our Yang family."
It seems that he is not using money to buy his son's life?
Niu Bao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively: "Why does Master Yang want me to go to the county town? Is it related to my unpromising son?"
Yang Jie was slightly stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled: "My father never mentioned Niu Xi, but just asked Uncle Niu to come to the house for a chat and asked me to treat him with courtesy."
"Just looking for me?" Niu Bao was confused, "Why?"
"The specific reason is not clear, but my father asked me to send someone to send you safely with the etiquette of a VIP." This is absolutely true, and Yang Jie can't understand the reason. After all, the rich man Yang didn't have a detailed explanation in his mind.
Maybe the reason is private. Except for this young master and his servant, no one in the Yang family is educated. Asking outsiders to write for you always makes you feel a little cautious and it is impossible to be very clear.
It doesn't look like the son is causing trouble, otherwise it would be necessary to send him over with VIP etiquette? With the financial resources of the Yang family, if Niu Xi really wanted to steal their money, he would probably just come with chains to arrest him, and there would be no need to be polite to him.
The question is, where did Niu Xi get that ingot of silver? Why did the rich man Yang let him go?
