Chapter 247 Zheng Liwan: I don’t want to marry an old man

Xue Rengui scratched his head. That's right. The mansion is a key place. Let alone making trouble, it's troublesome for ordinary people to enter. Except for those who are arrogant as Liu Renyuan said, all the guards have to be supported by them when entering the door. Others don't seem to be a big deal.

After Li Yuan ate and drank his fill, he took a few newly printed Water Margin stories from Liu Xuan's room. Like a successful thief, he slipped away without leaving a word.

Outside the door, Erniu had already delivered the candy to the door of the Lantian Marquis Mansion of the Tang Dynasty. He stood at the door, hunched over, and seemed not to dare to look up at the stone beast outside the door. He seemed to be secretly glancing at the two words "Liu Mansion" on the plaques above his head that he didn't recognize but seemed to symbolize his identity.

"Erniu, why are you here so soon?"

Liu Xuan walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Erniu saw Liu Xuan, he immediately returned to normal from his previous trembling state.

Throughout the entire mansion, he was always afraid, whether he was facing the maids just now, or the tall gate and deep courtyard of the mansion.

Only after seeing Liu Xuan, he suddenly relaxed for some reason.

This was a magical feeling. Obviously Liu Xuan was the Marquis of Lantian, but he was willing to laugh and joke with Liu Xuan. Obviously those stone lions and gates were lifeless, but they were like cold knives on his neck.

"Marquis, my father asked me to bring you sugar."

There was a full cart of raw sugar in a sack. Liu Xuan didn't look carefully, and said to Erniu: "Okay, how many pounds are these."

Erniu blushed. When delivering goods to dignitaries, there was no such scene.

On weekdays, he was always trembling with fear, watching the gatekeepers of those nobles weigh the weight, and they said how many pounds it was, and they had to round off the money.

Today, the Marquis of Lantian actually asked how many pounds he weighed? Wasn't he going to weigh it? Wasn't he afraid of being short of weight?

Liu Xuan saw Erniu's look and knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "We are all neighbors on the same street. It's okay if it's about the same. Just tell me how many pounds it is and I'll give it to you at the price we agreed on."

Erniu's face flushed, and he finally said two words: "300 pounds."

Liu Xuan nodded: "Come here, get the money for Erniu."

"Da Zhuang, come here, there are things for you to move."

Da Zhuang looked at the sacks and was overjoyed. He held one in each hand, as if he was holding a piece of wood just broken from a tree. It was so light that his face didn't even move.

This scene made Erniu dumbfounded.

"How about sending another 300 pounds at this time tomorrow?"

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, Erniu nodded in shock. He didn't understand what Liu Xuan said at all, and his eyes were full of shock.

Liu Xuan waved his hand and asked Erniu to go back, and he went to the backyard.

In Chang'an, the family of Erniu was delivering candy to the dignitaries. The price on weekdays was not a secret.

Erniu delivered the goods today, and he did not take the opportunity to falsely report the price. He was a good candidate.

Looking at the raw sugar in front of him, Liu Xuan opened one of the sacks, grabbed a handful, and sniffed it.

It was raw sugar, with a bitter smell.

Compared with the white sugar in later generations, it was completely garbage.

However, although it was not white sugar, if Liu Xuan wanted it, it could be completely refined, and what was the difficulty in making it into candy? Last time, those milk candies made several girls unable to stop, and there were unlimited business opportunities.

At this time, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by the sobbing of a woman.

Liu Xuan's ears moved, and his extremely keen hearing instantly let Liu Xuan know where the crying came from.

Zheng Liwan was covered with dust. Her eyes were red from crying and she was sobbing, but her red and swollen eyes were full of struggle and resistance.

The moment she saw Liu Xuan, Zheng Liwan, who was originally very determined and staring at the door, suddenly burst into tears.

Liu Xuan walked over and touched Zheng Liwan's head.

The people of Zheng family in Xingyang always like to look at things from a business perspective. Many things in the world cannot be viewed from the perspective of interest exchange.

Liu Xuan knew that there were some idealists in this world.

There were also sincere feelings in this world.

"Liu Xuan, they forced me to marry an old man..."

Old man? Liu Xuan subconsciously thought of that old man, Cen Wenben.

Yan Shigu's mortal enemy, who snatched Yan Shigu's position as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was more intelligent and quick-witted than Yan Shigu, and was highly respected by Li Jing.

When Liu Xuan thought of this person, he thought of an animal: an old yellow cow.

This person should not be lustful, right? It can be said that during the Tang Dynasty, Cen Wenben had no interest in anything except for the classics of history books, which were full of nature.

Marry Zheng Liwan to Cen Wenben?

This move seems to be a trick that Zheng Shi of Xingyang can do.

"Does anyone know that you ran out?"

Seeing that Zheng Liwan's clothes were a little disheveled, Liu Xuan judged that Zheng Liwan should be watched by someone.

In the eyes of Zheng Shi of Xingyang, Cen Wenben was their life-saving straw, the confidant of His Majesty, a great Confucian scholar, and a noble character. Of course, this person seemed to value Li Ke very much.

Liu Xuan probably had an idea in his mind.

"Yourong, go change your clothes first. Since you are back home, you are so sloppy and so tight. Are you afraid of the cold?"

Zheng Liwan struggled to get up with the help of the maid, and then looked outside the mansion in horror.

At this time, outside the Datang mansion, more than a dozen servants were looking inside. They looked calm and indifferent.

"Go back and tell the master that the young lady went to the Lantian mansion."

"The rest of you, try it first."

The leader had a calm face and light hands and feet. There was a bright spot in his palm. It was so bright from years of calluses. It was obvious that he was a former soldier.

He slowly walked to the door of the Lantian mansion and looked at the two big words "Liu Mansion" on it. He did not show a look like Erniu, but just looked inside calmly, as if he was waiting for someone to come out.

After a long time, there was no movement inside.

The man frowned and then fell silent.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"There are many marquises in the Tang Dynasty. Although Lantian Marquis is also a marquis, I have never heard of it. Maybe it is fake."

He grinned.

How could others not know whether it was fake or not, but when they saw this man grinning, they were instantly shocked.

He would not go in and rob openly, would he? This is the Lantian Marquis Mansion.

"Are you ready? Xingyang Zheng has raised us for many years, and now is our chance to make a contribution."

"Let's go in and take a look."
