Chapter 508: People's Sentiments
Hongxiang and Kite also went to the southeast with her this time, the two of them sat in the car, and when they saw her coming up, they all hurriedly stood up, "Miss, get up early in the morning, do you want to rest?"
Seeing Guo Wenying nodding, one of the two went to get a blanket and the other went to find a pillow.
The collapse is very wide, more than enough to lie down for one person, Guo Wenying lying on the couch couldn't help but think of what she had done with Feng Jingting just now, and couldn't help but blush, she was really with him, and she was thick-skinned when she exercised.
With the faint smell of incense in the car, she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, the car had already arrived at the post station, which was still the post station when they left Beijing last time, but it was familiar with the road.
stayed at the post station for the night, and early the next morning, Guo Wenying instructed Zhang Xinfang to find some people to explore the way in front, although there may be a large-scale raid, but you should be careful, especially in terms of diet, the most can not be touched by other people's ways.
She has been with Feng Jingting for a long time, and she has learned some experience in preventing assassinations, but nothing happened on this road, and she went to Zhejiang peacefully.
Seeing that the convoy entered the border of Zhejiang, Guo Wenying summoned Zhang Mingchang, Lu Yiyu and others to discuss, and she intended to divide the troops into three routes and survey the people's situation along the way. Zhang Xinfang led the team to the right road, Zhang Mingchang and Lu Yiyu took the left road, she and Lu Junyan took the right road, and finally gathered in Hangzhou, and then rushed to Fuzhou together.
Zhang Ming said: "My lord, although I can really understand some people's feelings by doing this, it is too dangerous for adults to go on the road alone. ”
Guo Wenying said: "I have guards by my side, so I use my uncle's official body as a cover, and when others ask, they say that the political envoy has returned to his hometown." ”
Lu Weixin frowned, "I don't agree, it's still too dangerous for you to do this." ”
Guo Wenying smiled, "Let's lead the identity of Qincha, no one dares to kill at this time, even if they do, they are not afraid, and they are worried that they will not come." I want to see who occupies the southeast and doesn't want us to come in. She said and said, "If you don't worry, you can lead people to follow you from a distance." ”
Lu Weixin nodded in agreement, he also knew Guo Wenying's temperament, this girl is sometimes bold and really doesn't look like a woman.
The group set off when they were ready, Lu Yiyu and Zhang Mingchang first took a few guards on the road, and then Guo Wenying took Lu Junyan, Yunmo, and Xu Ying to go from another road. Zhang Qiang and Pi Xiaosan are used to following her, and they have followed up without anyone else's words.
Guo Wenying didn't want to bring Hongxiang and Kite, these two girls had to make a fuss together, they changed into two civilian carriages, and ten personal guards changed into civilian clothes to escort, looking very much like officials returning home.
When he came out this time, Lu Junyan didn't bring any relatives, he also knew that his trip was dangerous, and everyone in his family stayed in Kyoto, so this time he only brought two old servants with him.
They took the carriage all the way to the east, this road to Hangzhou is actually quite safe, all the way down Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, several places with good scenery can be visited.
Lu Junyan was extremely nervous at first, but later saw that there was nothing to do, so he gradually relaxed.
They are officials, they can live in the post station, all the way is the name of Lu Junyan, passing by the prefecture and county, there are also officials who come out to greet the ceremony, and the reception is very appropriate.
Guo Wenying looked at the banquets arranged by those local officials, and she frowned, the imperial treasury was empty, and the emperor had to tighten his belt to live, but these officials, a small banquet was a delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it was extremely precious.
The usual behavior of those officials is also very smoky, as soon as they open their mouths, they eat, drink and have fun, and none of them care about the people's suffering, so the officials are really at ease.
On the way, they met an official who was going to take up his post in Hangzhou, and it was said that he was the trusted prefect of Hangzhou, who was amazingly magnificent and extremely luxurious. Along the way, never use the cooking utensils of the post station, the gold pots and jade bowls that come with them, they are all very luxurious, eat donkey meat, eat donkey lips, and a meal is a hundred and ten taels of silver can not be beaten.
Lu Junyan said in a low voice: "Eighty percent of an official like this is donated, a Hangzhou prefect, that is the fat shortage of the fat shortage, and I am afraid that I will not be able to appoint this official without 200,000 taels." ”
Guo Wenying snorted, "Second Uncle Mo was the same in the past? ”
Lu Junyan's face turned red, to be honest, he was a little afraid of this niece, not to mention that this niece had a higher official position than him and was his top boss. It's the momentum on her body that sometimes makes him look cold. The big girl who was gentle and graceful just now turned into a killer in a blink of an eye. If it weren't for his age, sometimes he would have almost scared her out of a girl.
The new prefect claimed to be Chen Wanxi, who ate fat and big-eared, and looked like a happy Buddha, listening to the introduction of the people in the post station, Lu Junyan was also an official of the imperial court, and he was also a political envoy of Zhejiang, so he came to visit. I also brought a lot of gifts, all of which were calligraphy and painting brushes and inks that please the literati, which looked inconspicuous, but they were all priceless. I didn't know how to inquire, but I knew that there were female dependents, and I specially gave Guo Wenying a string of pearl necklaces, each bead is the size of a child's fingernail.
Lu Junyan didn't know whether to accept it or not, so he came to consult Guo Wenying.
Guo Wenying glanced at the necklace, squinted and smiled: "Accept it, why don't you accept it, you should accept it." She said and said, "Uncle might as well climb the relationship with him and see what their family does." If I'm not mistaken, this is most likely a salt merchant. ”
Lu Junyan was taken aback, "How do you know?"
Guo Wenying smiled slightly, "It is easy for a salt merchant to make money, and he is willing to spend money, and he also carries a fish skin bag, which is a unique sign of a salt merchant." Uncle, go and ask, I'll guess casually. ”
Lu Junyan nodded, anyway, he had already thought about it, whatever his niece said, he just had to do whatever he wanted.
There is only one post station on the way to Hangzhou, and there are still many people living in it, most of whom are officials from all over the world. A number of new officials have been dismissed and replaced in the southeast, and there are quite a few who have taken up their posts this time.
There are two families living in the West Cross Courtyard, one is a couple with a child, and the other is a single and lonely young man, carrying a bookcase, at first glance it looks like a student who is reading, and when he speaks, he also chews the words, but he heard that the people in the post house said that he was going to Dong'an County to take up the county order.
Guo Wenying went out for a walk, and saw the county lord coming over, taking figure-eight steps, and the hard-pieced official looked very ridiculous.
He staggered over and raised his eyes to see a beautiful woman standing at the door, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. He was so soft-skinned that he didn't dare to come forward to speak, so he just kept looking at her.
Hongxiang saw it in her eyes and couldn't help scolding: "Where did you come from, do you know who our young lady is?"
The young man's face turned red, and he hurriedly walked away with his head down.
