Chapter 31 Umbrella
The head of Emperor Zhao sat in a middle-aged handsome man with white skin and sharp eyebrows. The most memorable thing is that the three collars and long beards are extremely elegant.
But don’t underestimate a man’s beard. One of the important symbols of handsome men in this era is to have a good-looking beard.
The handsome man was Huo Guang. After the court was dispersed, Emperor Zhao kept him talking. The eunuch, the godfather of the eunuch who was a friend of Cheng Mo, described the scene just now, Huo Guang agreed to Emperor Zhao and said, "This young man is a backbone."
The store was smashed and did not tolerate it, but was unyielding to come to ask for compensation. There are few people who are not afraid of power now.
The eunuch laughed and said, "The General is right. Just..."
It was just something, the eunuch didn't finish talking about it, and Huo Guang didn't ask.
Emperor Zhao said: "Did he serve in my Yulin Guard?"
Is this what I mean to protect him? The eunuch hurriedly said, "Yes, it's in the Yulin Guard."
Emperor Zhao stopped talking, but he just looked at Huo Guang meaningfully. Huo Guang pondered for a moment and said, "I will send someone to investigate immediately. If his good habitation is indeed ruined, I should uphold justice for him."
Huo Guang's words were quickly spread. The civil and military officials who saw Cheng Mo as if they were like a beast all spoke loudly and said, "I didn't expect that a fool would be lucky. This kid could actually win General Huo's eyes." Since that's the case, if you have time, you have to go to his shop called Yi'anju and buy something by the way.
Wu Kong was stunned when he heard what Huo Guang said. After a while, he patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder: "You guy is so lucky!"
Zhang Qing was so happy that he jumped straight and said repeatedly: "I'll just say that the fifth brother is auspicious and heavenly appearance."
If Shangguan Jie is the second person in the court, Huo Guang is the first person in the court. With this first person in the court, why are you afraid that Shangguan Jie will do?
Cheng Mo did not expect to alarm Huo Guang, and he was standing on his side. This is another parallel space, a dynasty called Wu Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty recorded in history more than two thousand years ago. Although the names are the same, he dare not confuse the two dynasties. He really doesn't know why Huo Guang spoke for him.
"Shangguan Jie and General Huo are in-laws?" he asked Wu Kong.
Wu Kong nodded and said, "Not bad."
"What is the political opinion?" Cheng Mo asked again.
Marriage is a political need, and of course, the interests of one's own family must be the first priority at critical moments. Huo Guang and Shangguan Jie are probably not only in-laws, but also competitors, right? But this is not convenient to say.
Wu Kong was the heir of Neiding of Ji'an Hou, and his eyesight was different. Cheng Mo mentioned it a little and then he understood, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, since you offended Shangguan Jie, you can only follow General Huo's path in the future."
He is so good at causing trouble, so he has to find a backer, otherwise his life will be lost sooner or later.
Cheng Mo shook his head. Huo Guang, who was in that space in the past, had a bad end. He didn't want to stand in a team, but just wanted to spend money in Yulinwei, and then open a furniture store to earn enough money, and live a happy life.
Zhang Qing said: "How many people want to follow General Huo's path but cannot be obtained. Now General Huo is talking to you. If you don't take this opportunity to get closer to him, when will you have to wait?"
What he did not say explicitly was that Duke An was also racking his brains to get close to Huo Guang, but he couldn't get in.
"Others are others, I am me." Cheng Mo smiled and said to the two: "It's okay now, you should be relieved, right?"
Wu Kong wanted to persuade him again, but Cheng Mo left on the grounds that he wanted to go to Yi'anju to see him. He didn't have to be a job today, and he entered the palace just to cause trouble for Shangguan Jie. Unexpectedly, the matter would be solved like this, and Cheng Mo was also very surprised.
The furniture that was smashed by Shangguan Hua had been cleared, and the guy was carrying new furniture from the warehouse. Seeing Cheng Mo come back, both of them looked at him with admiration and said, "Boss, Shangguan Hua will make trouble again, and we will fight with him."
Since the shopkeeper Hua said that the boss had made a list to find Shangguan Jie to compensate, the two of them treated Cheng Mo as a god. Who was Shangguan Jie? He was the minister of the late emperor's orphanage. His slaves were all walking sideways on the street. It was honor to be bullied by him. Now the boss actually came to bully him. This was definitely an existence with a higher magnitude than Shangguan Jie. Being able to follow such a boss was a blessing he had cultivated in his previous life.
The common people didn't understand the great principles. When the two men heard that Cheng Mo dared to challenge Shangguan Jie's authority, they were so admiring that they almost said, "Boss, please accept our knees."
Cheng Mo didn't know what they were thinking and said, "Concentrate on your work."
The two of them were carrying official hats and chairs on their hands, and they were about to bump into each other. Who did he look for?
Manager Hua took care of his worries for a long time, and when he saw Cheng Mo come back, he immediately rushed over and hugged him, saying, "It's good if the boss is fine, it's good if the boss is fine."
He thought Cheng Mo would never come back.
Cheng Mo patted his back and said, "I'm fine. I'll be back in two days."
With Huo Guang's words, Shangguan Jie dared not refuse to give money.
Manager Hua was shocked and said, "Boss, we can't take this silver. This is not silver, it's a death talisman."
The owner is just too young and doesn’t know the importance of it. If he reaches out to get the compensation, will the store still be opened in the future?
Cheng Mo said: "It's okay. I found two guards and stayed behind me. If someone makes trouble, call them up and they can hold them back for a while."
Behind the store is a warehouse, and a small house is separated for two guards to sit there. If there is anything, they will be thugs. Zhang Qing found the person. Last night, he heard that Shangguan Hua had smashed the store and was so angry that he screamed. If Cheng Mo had not been to find Shangguan Jie, he would have wanted to ask a few people to mask and beat Shangguan Hua up in the dark. However, he had no courage to ask him to find Shangguan Jie.
He sent two guards here early this morning. He picked up the man from Duke Anguo Mansion, one in a hundred, and was so skillful that he had nothing to say.
Manager Hua nodded repeatedly and said, "The boss is a good method."
While speaking, the two guards came out to salute, and Cheng Mo comforted him kindly. The two were sent by Zhang Qing. Knowing that their little master was one of the bosses, he didn't feel that he had changed from the guards of the Anguo Duke's Mansion to the bodyguard of the merchant to lose the price. He patted his chest and promised: "The villain must protect the store and prevent the bad guy from succeeding."
Anyway, Zhang Qing was holding on to the accident, and they had no psychological pressure at all.
As soon as the guard entered, an acquaintance came to the store. Luo An's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he stood at the door of the store and stared at Cheng Mo and didn't say anything.
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "The customer is here, please come in quickly."
When Yi'anju's boss Cheng Mo made a big fuss in the front hall, the news that Shangguan Jie was disgraced and the news that he almost vomited blood came to Luo An's ears. He had settled a hundred official hat chairs in Yi'anju, and the chair was delivered the day before, and the goods were paid. Even if you want to return the goods, it would not work. Not to mention anything else, the reputation of being deceived and not being trustworthy is enough for him to drink a pot.
He couldn't swallow this tone.
