Chapter 532: Hibernation
Speaking of the eldest brother, Wu Zhengxiang's face was a little warmer, "During this time, the city is busy, father, you know." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After a few words, the father and son fell into an awkward silence again. Between the two of them, there are really too many taboo topics, too much to say, and too little to say. Wu Lie just wanted to know more about his son, but he didn't know what to say.
After thinking about it, he asked: "Your family affairs, although it is the queen mother's marriage, we still have to worry about the dowry." Is there anything you need my help with?"
Wu Lie just asked casually, Wu Zhengxiang has always hated him for meddling in private affairs, and he knows it.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengxiang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then it will trouble my father, and when she is not served, the three books and six ceremonies must be grand." I will prepare the dowry, and my father will let the steady steward send it. ”
The son was willing to discuss the marriage with him, which made Wu Lie's heart happy, and he hurriedly said: "My father knows." Don't worry, we haven't had a happy event in our house for a long time, so it must have been lively and beautiful. How could you let yourself pay the dowry, leave the public school, and add some from my private account, so that the entire Xu family will not be able to let go. ”
Wu Zhengxiang nodded lightly: "So it's troublesome for my father." ”
Looking at his son, who had a little more fireworks, Wu Lie was shocked to realize that the two had been talking for a long time. Touching the short hair under his chin, he thought that maybe this daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door would make Wu Zhengxiang's cold face more popular. For this, what is it to give up some dowry?
……
The night was deeper, and the Hujia Theater, which had been noisy all day, gradually quieted down. Hu Ban held the fire candle in his hand and walked into Jiang Chen's courtyard.
It was pitch black in the courtyard, and there was no candle light.
Hu Bantou knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Yulang, are you feeling better?"
In the past two days, Jiang Chen has suffered from cold, and Mo said that he can't even get out of bed when he sings on stage. Fortunately, now the name of Xianglongban has also been played, and with the secret care of Jinnan Houye, he is not only counting on Jiang Chen alone.
But Jiang Chen was sick, and Hu Bantou's heart was really tight. Not only is he a pillar, but also for the love that has been in place over the years.
There were a few heart-rending coughs in the room, followed by Jiang Chen's voice: "Okay, much better." It's too late, Hu Bantou rest, don't worry about me. Tomorrow, ahem...... I'll be busy again tomorrow. ”
Hearing him cough like this, Hu Bantou couldn't stop worrying: "Yulang, you can't go on like this." I'll take advantage of the fact that the door is not locked, and quickly find another doctor for you. ”
Jiang Chen gasped, and this time he spoke much more fluently: "No, I have taken this doctor's medicine, and it is already better than in 100 days." ”
Seeing that he insisted, Hu Bantou said helplessly: "Then you have a good rest, I won't come in to disturb you." ”
Hu Bantou walked slowly. ”
Hearing the footsteps of Hu Bantou slowly leaving, Jiang Chen relaxed his body, fell back on the big pillow, let go of the handkerchief covering his mouth, and a pair of cold eyes flashed cold light in the dark.
Looking at the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, he smiled helplessly, it seemed that he was still too reluctant to force the crossbow to pull it apart alone.
He faked his illness two days ago. In order to plan this assassination, he racked his brains and used most of the manpower in Luoyang City. However, the injury at this time is genuine.
After this battle, he lost one of the few dead soldiers, especially the woman buried in the workshop, the nail he spent a lot of effort to bury.
I thought that when I was performing in front of the emperor, I would release the white mist and smoke and assassinate while I was in chaos. I didn't expect the palace to be so cautious, and when performing drum music and dance, the emperor and queen never appeared at all. Another scheme had to be enabled.
It's just that I didn't expect her to be so unstable and want to risk killing Empress Dowager Xiao. Even if he succeeds in killing Empress Dowager Xiao, it won't help his plan.
Jiang Chen rubbed the ink jade wrench on his thumb in the dark, and fell into deep thought.
His layout is correct, and the dead soldier is also very conscientious, he believes that neither the Northern Ya Forbidden Army nor the shadow guards hiding in the shadows will find his traces.
But what's the use of that?!
Emperor Qinglong is still alive and well, and this alone is enough to offset all his efforts. also made his back hand useless.
Just now, he had ordered all his men to lie dormant. For the next year, there will be no activity.
……
Thousands of miles away in Dizhou, a winding dragon composed of a convoy has just crossed a mountain, and it is so tired that people turn over on their backs. The executioner who escorted the caravan rode his horse back and forth and shouted, "All cheer up, there is still half a mile left, and we will arrive at the post station." When you get to the ground, you can relax. ”
"Okay!"
When they heard this, all the porters and grooms rested, drank water, got up from the ground, and pushed the cart on.
The head of the black dart who escorted the car was riding on the horse, and when he saw that everyone had risen, he rode his horse to the front and rode side by side with the shopkeeper Guo.
"Shopkeeper, you have made money and gained fame this time. ”
Shopkeeper Guo smiled humbly: "Our Qin family firm is not far away, and we have just collected summer grain, so we just took advantage of the trend." ”
"I've heard that there is no grain in the whole city of Dizhou. When you get there, it's up to you to sell as much as you want?"
"Where, where, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just arrived not long ago. His Royal Highness is here for disaster relief, and there must be a grain cart with him. Besides, even if there is no food in Dizhou, we can't raise the price arbitrarily with a clear conscience. Shopkeeper Guo snorted.
The black dart head said in his heart, "This old fox!" I will believe you? If it weren't for the fact that this batch of grain was profitable, they would have hired them to escort it?
If it is placed on weekdays, the grain cart is not a gold, silver and jewelry, who will make up their minds. Now, not only did they not cover the grain trucks tightly, but they also hired them to protect them, naturally to prevent those hungry people from looting.
He has seen with his own eyes that the shopkeeper Guo treats the victims on the road who are hungry and yellow-muscled, strictly guarding against them, without the slightest compassion.
The two looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
The black dart head is used to running this line, and it is very accurate to the sutou head. Sure enough, after walking half a mile, a post station appeared in front of me. The sky was getting dark behind them.
The post station was originally opened by the government, and it stands to reason that only those who hold official certificates can move in. But the post men and post guards here also have to eat, and it is too bitter to rely on that little bit of money haha.
Therefore, the scope of the post station gradually expanded to the official family, as long as the official name card is held, you can stay in.
In a place like Dizhou, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the post station is large and safe, and it has become the first choice for large caravans and dart teams. The local officials also turned a blind eye and left some oil and water for the people at the post station.
