Chapter 9 Unexpected Meeting

Although Zhang Tianai thought so, she actually didn't believe it. Marquis, such a high title, he would always associate with Li Mu no matter how he thought about it. The appearance of that person appeared in his mind. Zhang Tianai shook his head, it was impossible, absolutely impossible!

Just as he was thinking about it, the group had arrived at the gate of the Zhulu Marquis' Mansion. Ergou asked everyone to wait, and he knocked on the door by himself. Seeing Ergou, who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of them, and even a little arrogant, when the doorman opened the door, his straight waist suddenly lowered, and his face was full of smiles, looking completely pleasing, and he was somewhat speechless. Are the people in Chang'an so fickle?

The concierge was quite kind. He talked to Ergou for a few words, then looked at the people outside the door and the fur on the ox cart, and said, "The Marquis is busy, so we dare not disturb you. In this way, you can drive the ox cart to the side door and come in first and wait for a while."

"Okay, okay, please, the housekeeper." Ergou said with apologizing. How could he not know that the doorman is not the housekeeper, but it is always right to hold it and say it.

The concierge quickly waved his hand and corrected: "You can't say this casually. I'm not a housekeeper. The housekeeper of our Marquis's mansion is a person who can't afford to offend..."

"Speak bad things from behind again!"

The expression on the doorman's face froze and he changed his mouth, "Girl, we didn't say bad things, let's praise you."

"Wu!" Li Zhien came out of the door, looked at the person outside, and said, "What are you doing?"

"The Marquis wants to buy fur, and these people come to give samples."

"Oh." Li Zhien glanced at him, fixed his eyes on Zhang Tianai, looked carefully for a few times, and said, "Sister, are you a fur seller too?"

Zhang Tianai saw a pretty little girl coming out of the mansion, and she didn't look like a servant. The doorman was so afraid of her. He guessed that she was a female relative of the Marquis' Mansion and did not dare to neglect her, and said, "Miss, we are a caravan, I... can be regarded as a fur seller."

Li Zhien smiled and said, "Sister is so beautiful. Come with me, I'll take you to have delicious food." After that, he came over and took Zhang Tianai's hand. Zhang Tianai was confused by Li Zhien's actions and didn't know what to do. But he thought about selling the fur in his heart. Since this girl is a female family in the mansion, if she has a good relationship with her, she might be able to help her.

Thinking of this, she turned around and gave Lao Hu a wink, and followed Li Zhien into the mansion.

Ergou was stunned by the sight of him. When the two of them walked a few steps, they approached the doorman and asked, "This girl is..."

The concierge smiled bitterly and said, "She is the wife's personal maid and is the one who is a sister. Now... she is the housekeeper of our Marquis's Mansion. We all listen to her."

When Ergou heard this, he knew it. It was not uncommon for girls to stay in the house. This girl was so pretty and cute, and she said she was her wife's personal maid, so she naturally had an affair with the Marquis. She stopped asking now, turned around and greeted everyone, and drove a ox cart into the mansion through the side door.

Li Zhien pulled Zhang Tianai away, not because she fell in love with her and wanted to be sisters at first sight. It was entirely because she thought Zhang Tianai was pretty and had a unique heroic spirit. Li Mu might like her when he saw her, so he pulled her to the backyard so that Li Mu would not see her, so he would not have trouble.

Since meeting Wang Ou, Li Zhien has become more and more careful in this regard. As Li Mu does more and more things, he will definitely attract many women. Wang Ou's old woman is an example. During the Marseille that day, Li Zhien kept aiming at Wang Ou, and the vixen's eyes never left his master. It was so deep and affectionate, and I still felt pity for him!

Bai Qiaoqiao was too stupid. When she encountered such a thing, she would only sigh and had no idea. Li Zhien felt that she should stand up and avoid possible threats as much as possible. She was a slave and could not stipulate what the master should do. But she could do it secretly, just like today, she felt that she was very smart. If he couldn't see her, wouldn't it be fine?

Bai Qiaoqiao was learning to write, but she had no foundation. Li Zhien started teaching from "Thousand Characters Text" and learned twenty words every day. Bai Qiaoqiao is also a smart woman. She used to not recognize words because no one taught her. Now with Li Zhien, she still recognizes words very quickly. She is also skillful and not so rigid in writing. After writing a few times, she looks a little bit.

After seeing Wang Ou, Bai Qiaoqiao worked harder, now thirty words a day. Li Zhien brought Zhang Tianai to the backyard and shouted from afar: "Madam, I met a sister who sells furs and was born beautifully. Let's take a break. This sister came from a distance and must have encountered many things. Let's listen to her."

"Fur?" Bai Qiaoqiao frowned slightly. When she was in Mayi, she had never seen fur dealers and knew a little. There were very few women who traded fur dealers, basically men. Li Zhien also called this person sister, so she must be not very old... Bai Qiaoqiao's heart moved, put down the brush and came out of the room. When she pushed open the door, she saw Zhang Tianai. Both of them were stunned. Bai Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red in an instant, and she threw herself into Zhang Tianai's arms and sobbed: "Sister, are you here to find me? I asked the husband to write a letter to you, why don't you reply!"

"I...I don't know, I..." Zhang Tianai was a little at a loss. At this time, she was even more shocked than Bai Qiaoqiao. Bai Qiaoqiao, Mrs. Bai, then the Marquis... is it really him?!

When Li Zhien saw this scene, he opened his mouth wide. What's going on! He just pulled someone in casually, why...

Bai Qiaoqiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took Zhang Tianai's hand, and said, "Sister, come with me quickly. I have a lot to say to you." Seeing Li Zhien who was stunned, she said, "This is my sister. She has saved her husband's life and is our benefactor. Just like my own sister, don't be too slow!"

Li Zhien squeezed out a smile, bowed his knees and gave a blessing, and said, "I have seen my benefactor sister." But he said in his heart: "My stupid lady, why are your husband's saviors all the benefactors? You are still so heartless, you must suffer losses sooner or later!"

Zhang Tianai was not used to being saluted by others, so he quickly helped Li Zhien up. Bai Qiaoqiao said again, "Zhien, go and tell your husband quickly, just say that Tianai's sister is here, he will definitely be happy."

Li Zhien responded and wanted to find Li Mu. Zhang Tianai suddenly remembered what she was doing and hurriedly said, "Sister, uh... I'm here this time to sell fur..."

"Ah!" Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly realized and smiled, "Oh, I forgot everything when I saw my sister. Zhien, remember to tell my husband that the fur was brought by my sister." After that, he said to Zhang Tianai, "Don't worry, sister, husband is very rich now, he can buy all his furs."

When Zhang Tianai heard this, he quickly said, "Don't buy it all..."

Li Zhien hummed and continued, "You're welcome, sister, my benefactor, our master has money, and he's betting on others for 5,000 guan."

"Ah?" Zhang Tianai was a little confused. Wu Qianguan went to bet with someone? Is this person crazy?

Bai Qiaoqiao glared at him and said, "I told my husband to know that you were talking bad about him behind his back. I will definitely not give you pocket money. Do you still want to eat candied fruit? Go quickly! Let me tell the chef that lunch today will be rich, go quickly!"

Li Zhien responded and turned around and left. Zhang Tianai was even more confused. What kind of relationship is this? Is it a master-servant relationship? Is it a pity that I have pocket money?

In the front yard, the gatehouse was unloading the goods with all the leaders. Next to it was Li Mu's "studio", and there were some knocking inside. Lao Hu had just heard Ergou and Feng Si talk, and thought it was nonsense. How could the dignified Marquis make a blacksmith? Unexpectedly, it was real. Marquis really liked to make a blacksmith... What kind of hobby is this?

Ergou was born with a skillful skill. He became familiar with the doorman when he was unloading the goods. He shouted at the uncle one by one. The doorman should not be, nor should he be, and he was full of laughter and crying. He was as curious as Lao Hu, and he talked about something else, and suddenly he seemed to be unintentionally, and said, "Uncle, why is the marquis still thrust the iron? Is the marquis's mansion still lacking iron tools?"

When the concierge heard him ask this, he spoke proudly and said, "What do you know? Our Marquis beats iron that others can't beat. Have you read the Tang Dynasty Daily?"

Ergou laughed and said, "We don't recognize words, I heard from those who recognize words."

"Then do you know Zhenguan Plough?"

Ergou nodded quickly.

"It's okay to tell you, it's not a secret. The small plowshare of the Zhenguan plow is not just ordinary iron. It must be made by the marquis's secret method created by the Marquis himself. Your Majesty will carry out the Zhenguan plow in the world next year. The Marquis is teaching people the secret method!" As he said, the doorman was full of respect and said, "Whose secret method is not hidden, it's our Marquis, who is willing to hand over his secret method to others. Those miscellaneous families dare to slander our Marquis. I really don't know that the world is high and the earth is strong. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and keeps our Marquis, they are not close to you!"

Ergou quickly handed over a flattery: "Not that? How can those people compare with our Marquis? Not to mention comparing with the Marquis, even if you compete with you, you will not be able to compare with you. Uncle, I think you don't speak like an ordinary person. You have studied."

"Oh!" the concierge sighed and said, "I have been a master for several years before. It's a pity that the county magistrate was corrupt and abused the law, which implicated me. Fortunately, the marquis helped me and brought me out of the Jiaofangsi, so I have this today."

Ergou also sighed: "Marty is such a good person..."

When the leaders heard this, they were shocked. The marquis was so courageous that he dared to challenge the aristocratic families! The range of activities in Zhangjiazhai was next to the territory of the Li family in Longxi, and they knew the power of the aristocratic families.

At this time, Li Zhien jumped over, looked at everyone who was unloading goods, walked to the studio door and knocked on the door.

The iron inside stopped and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Master, the lady said, Sister Tianai is here and you are here. Also, these furs are brought by Sister Tianai, and the lady said that you have bought them all."
