Chapter 187

When Su Lu woke up, it was already daybreak.

The yard was full of noisy voices and all kinds of greetings.

The warm sunshine fell into the house from the window and shone on the head of the bed, making Su Lu feel warm.

The house is still the same, wooden bed, low stool and eight immortals table, which are still the furnishings before leaving Beiyang.

Su Lu sat up, took the robe hanging by the bed, put it on, put on his boots, and was about to go out.

The curtain of the door suddenly opened, and Xiao Si'er came in a panic, "Marquis, you wake up and I'll serve... You're dressed."

"Get me something to eat. I'm starving."

Su Lu ordered.

Xiao Si'er went in a panic.

When Su Lu left the room, he saw that the yard was full of people carrying boxes and cabinets. Under the command of Su Yun, he put pieces of furniture into the hall.

Su Lu asked the mud standing guard by the door: "what's the situation? Didn't we have furniture? The eldest lady bought these furniture again. There's too much money to use up."

The mud smiled and said, "Lord Hou, these don't cost money. They are all sent."

When Su Yun saw Su Lu, he came over with a smile, took Su Lu's arm and smiled: "these furniture are sent by businessmen. I didn't use a penny."

Su Lu's face pulled down: "do we have no money? Is my salary not enough to buy these furniture?"

Su Yun put out his tongue when he heard the speech and said carefully, "those businessmen heard that you have made great achievements and scrambled to deliver them. They said they wanted to reward the general who saved their lives and family property."

"Nonsense"

Su Lu's face changed: "how old are you? You still believe these. Tens of thousands of soldiers drove Tule away. Besides giving them to me, he also gave them to those soldiers? It's not my own credit to drive Tule away."

Su Yun also became unhappy: "Su Ping, Li Kun, they all took it."

"Enough"

Su Lu stopped Su Yun, took the cake and water brought by Xiao Si'er, and said, "take the silver, follow me, and send me money to whoever's furniture you take."

Su Yun had a stem in his neck: "I won't go"

Su Lu directly grabbed Su Yun's arm: "I have to go."

The brothers and sisters went out of the yard, and more than a dozen guards hurried up. Su Lu said, "go, go to the first house."

Eating dry cakes and riding a tall horse, Su Lu taught Su Yun:

"In the past, our family was poor, but we were poor. We didn't take other people's things in vain. People opened shops to do business for a living. There was no reason to lose money."

Su Yun pouted and ignored Su Lu. When the guards protecting Su Lu heard these words, they all thought deeply.

Su Lu continued, "I know you must be thinking that if you don't take advantage of what you send to the door, it's a fool."

"I tell you, Su Yun, there will be no pie in the sky. If a pie falls, it means you have offered something to heaven in advance."

Mound son suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Lord Hou is right. You have to lay bait for fishing. You can't bear the meat to cover the wolf. These people who buy furniture must also have ideas."

After eating the cake, Su Lu patted the crumbs on his hands and touched Su Yun's forehead:

"The mound knows this truth. You, the eldest lady of the Marquis house and the county Lord personally granted by your majesty, don't even understand this. Go back and study well for me."

"Here we are"

Su Yun pointed to a furniture store along the road.

Su Lu got off his horse, threw the reins to the mound, and walked in to the two-story furniture store.

The waiter warmly welcomed him and asked with a smile:

"Objectively, what furniture do you want to buy, ready-made or custom-made? The furniture here is made by Fu Lutan, a famous master in the county. It has exquisite appearance, high quality and high price. All the furniture used in Beiyang waiting house is our furniture."

Su Yun, who followed in, said angrily, "you sent it to the door. Who wants to use your furniture!"

The waiter looked confused.

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and saluted Su Lu with a smile: "this general must be the waiting Lord of Beiyang. Little old man Liu Heng gave you a gift."

Su Lu reached out to help Liu Heng, smiled and said, "the shopkeeper is polite. She Mei left the furniture of your store, but forgot to give the money. I'm taking her to deliver the silver."

Su Lu said and waved his hand. A guard came in with a silver bag, took out some silver beans and put them on the counter.

The folds on Liu Heng's face seemed to open his mouth with a smile: "general, this is the face of beating the little old man. Those furniture are given to the general. The general saved a city's people in order to fight in Beiyang. Some furniture is no respect."

Su Lu waved his hand: "shopkeeper, don't refuse. You open the door to do business. Naturally, I can't take advantage of you for nothing. Count whether this silver is enough."

Liu Heng said no, but his men were fast and ordered the silver clearly. Then he said carefully:

"There's still two dollars left. Those are made of superior nanmu. This silver is really not enough."

The guards quickly took out another silver bean.

Liu Hengle opened the flowers and handed the silver in his hand to the back: "Lao Lu, put it away. This is the silver given by the Duke of Beiyang. I'll put it away, offer it up and keep it as an heirloom."

A hale and hearty old man came out of the back, took the silver and was about to go back when Su Lu called him.

"Wait a minute."

Su Lu looked at the old man's back and his face was full of surprise. Isn't this general Xiao Cong who has been missing for a long time.

The mud was surprised and said, "Sir, this is general Xiao!"

Liu Heng was stunned at the speech and immediately shouted to the old man, "Lord Hou, do you know my man?"

"To tell you the truth, marquis, I picked up this guy on the way to buy wood in Diaoyin county.

At that time, he was covered with blood and thought he was going to die. He was an accompanying cook who insisted on saving him. He came back to life, but Lao Lu lost all his memory and didn't even remember who he was. "

Lao Lu turned around and put his hand on Su Lu imperceptibly.

Su Lu was stunned for a moment, but immediately opened his mouth and said, "I recognize the wrong person. Sorry, I recognize the wrong person. Mud, blind your dog eye, how can this be general Xiao, who has died in the battle."

Su Lu winked at the mud, then took Su Yun and walked outside the door.

"Let's go to the next one. We must give all the money today."

Out of the furniture store, Su Lu turned on his horse, walked around the street, saw the back door of the furniture store, turned off his horse, and walked past the back door.

"Just wait for me. I'll borrow this cottage for convenience."

"Bang bang"

Su Lu knocked on the back door.

The empty door opened immediately. Xiao Cong's wrinkled cheek was full of joy and led Su Lu into the door.

"General Su, long time no see. I'm really glad to see you."

Xiao Cong said with a smile.

Su Lu asked suspiciously, "Xiao Shuai, who are you?"

Xiao Cong laughed and led Su Lu to find a stool in the backyard and sat down against the wall.

"I was ambushed by Tule in Xitun ridge. All the soldiers died. I escaped only after I fell off the cliff, but I was half dead at that time. The cook of this family took a fancy to me and forced shopkeeper Li to save me."

"It hurt my muscles and bones for a hundred days. I had been lying in bed for nearly a year before I recovered. I had long confessed my identity to the cook, but she wouldn't let me go."

Xiao Cong paused: "she told me that there were spies from Tule people at the top of the Xuanfu mansion."
