Chapter 866: The Traveler Returns
Before today, Ouyang Jie never thought that he and Qin Jue would meet in this way, and he didn't even think that he would befriend Qin Jue.
The legendary Qin Jue is arrogant, young and frivolous, and looking at what he has done before, as well as Qin Jue's recent attitude towards Gao Yun and Wang Chengqiu, Qin Jue is a person who is decisive and ruthless, even regardless of the leeway.
However, the Qin Jue in front of him was beyond Ouyang Jie's imagination, except for a little alienation unique to the children of the family, Qin Jue did not have the unruliness of the legend, he was like a deep ocean, bottomless but broad and broad.
That day, Ouyang Jie stayed at Jiao Wei's house, and the two of them drank a few more glasses, but Jiao Wei did not return to the back house and lived in the guest room with him.
The next day, Ouyang Jie learned that Jiao Wei was sleeping on a big kang with him, and he smiled: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is going to dislike me." ”
Jiao Wei rubbed her eyes: "She gets dizzy when she smells wine, I live with you, she can sleep well, how can she dislike you." ”
Ouyang Jie was stunned, he didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Brother Jiao and his wife are very affectionate, and they are so good to their sister-in-law. He said heartily.
Jiao Wei shook his head: "I have been away from home for many years, she is filial to the elderly, takes care of the children, and takes care of housework, speaking of which I am sorry for her, and now that the family can finally be reunited, her health is not as good as before." Brother Ouyang just saw that I was not bad to my insiders now, and that was because you hadn't seen how Lord Luo and his eldest aunt treated his wife. ”
Ouyang Jie's mind was filled with chaos in Gao's mansion, the two young grandmothers took the back house, Gao Yun didn't take Mrs. Ma in his eyes, and the concubine often went in and out of the outer study, and he encountered it a few times.
These things of the Gao family are absolutely not in the Yang family, and the Luo family and the Qin family are obviously not like this. If the house is not peaceful, how can a manly man talk about making contributions?
At this time, Gao Yun had just come out with a few elders, and he was sulking again. The emperor was still sick, and on the sickbed, Huo Ying and Han Qianchu were successively announced, and even Wu Changbo, Xiaoyong Hou, Qin Xuan, and Qin Jue, who were not pavilion elders, were also called, but he was not announced as the first assistant.
He came out of the palace in a huff, ready to return to the Ministry of Works, at least there was still his one-third of an acre.
As soon as he left the palace, several of his elders trotted over casually, and one of them said to him in a low voice: "My lord, I have found out, those two palanquin men are in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Mr. Ouyang is missing." ”
"Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?" Gao Yun was taken aback, didn't Zhang Huilong say that there would never be a mistake? Then why did Ouyang Jie not see anyone alive or dead, and these two people still got the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?
"What about Zhang Huilong? He didn't go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division to ask for someone?" Gao Yunqi was extremely corrupt, Zhang Huilong was one of his henchmen, and this matter was handed over to Zhang Huilong to host, with Shi Qing's assistance.
Chang Sui touched his head, he obviously didn't expect his master to ask like this, he has been in the Gao family for a few years, and he usually has to deal with the various yamen in the capital, how is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, of course he knows very well, he just doesn't understand, why his master seems to be a second monk who can't figure out his head.
"My lord, the Five Cities Terracotta Division is full of guys who have no one in their sights, and your name is posted to them......"
He swallowed the three words "no matter what" stiffly, but he was still glared at by Gao Yun.
He is the first assistant, but he wants no one from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?
"Then let Zhang Huilong go over in person, the official still doesn't believe it, this is the capital, it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, is there any royal law?" Gao Yun was originally angry, if it wasn't outside the palace gate, he would have wanted to beat someone.
He got into the official sedan chair angrily and went to the Ministry of Works.
From outside the palace gate to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, there are only two teas, and as soon as he entered the Yamen, he bumped into an official dressed as a foreigner, who looked a little familiar, and couldn't remember who it was for a while.
The man recognized him and hurriedly saluted: "Xiaguan Liao Yun, he only came back from Fujian yesterday." ”
Gao Yun frowned, Liao Yun, I went to Fujian to supervise shipbuilding in the past two years, and this year the imperial court wants to save expenses for grain and grass military expenses, plus the Dongying people have not violated the border again, and the military department has reduced the military needs of several Davids along the coast, and even the matter of building warships has been suspended, Liao Yun wants to return to the capital and rearrange it.
When Gao Yun arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Liao Yun was already there, and Gao Yun didn't know much about Liao Yun at that time, but he knew that he was a son of the Liao family in Yangzhou and was born in Jishi. But not long ago, because he inquired about Qin Jue, he learned that Qin Jue, Liao Yun, and Chang Yifan had a good personal relationship, and then Liao Yun went to Fujian to build a ship, so there was less contact.
Therefore, when he saw Liao Yun, he felt very embarrassed.
Really, he is annoyed everywhere, at home, in the cabinet, and now even in the Ministry of Industry.
"What are your plans for coming back?" asked Gao Yun.
Liao Yun was stunned, I am not an official who is released, I have to run again when my term of office expires, I was originally a foreigner, I went to Fujian to supervise, this is a work trip, now the work is over, I am back, what did I do, now just continue, but you asked me what I plan, shouldn't you hand it over to me as an envoy?
But Liao Yun has always been tactful, he smiled and said: "Xiaguan only came back yesterday, and today I came to make a business, and by the way, I will give you a share of the special products brought by Xiaguan from Fujian, and you have already sent your share." ”
Gao Yun nodded, only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, he just didn't want Liao Yun to stay in the Ministry of Works, under his nose.
"You have been gone for two or three years, and there have been some changes in the yamen, since you have just come back, then go back and rest for a few days, and talk about other things later. ”
Gao Yun walked as he spoke, leaving Liao Yun looking at his back blankly.
When Liao Yun was in Fujian, the correspondence with Qin Jue and Chang Yifan was never interrupted, Qin Jue rarely replied to letters, and replied to one letter out of ten, Liao Yun did not think it was wrong, but fortunately, Chang Yifan was a diligent person, and every letter must be replied.
So Liao Yun also knew something about things in the capital, probably empathy, when he heard that Gao Yun was an outer room, he was a little more sympathetic, but later Chang Yifan said that when Gao Yun introduced a Taoist priest named Wang Chengqiu to the emperor, Liao Yun only disdainful.
He is also from the outer room, but the difference is that he was recognized by the Liao family as his ancestor and returned to his ancestry, and now he has become the most promising in the Liao family's generation, and he has always been serving his mother.
He is also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but he always believes that no matter what you do, there must be a limit, he thinks he is not a righteous gentleman, but he will never do anything to send Taoist priests to the emperor.
He recalled Gao Yun's attitude towards him, didn't stay for a moment, and raised his legs to go to the punishment department half a street away.
