Chapter 1 Wearing the Stars and the Moon
In the second year of Changping, the second year of Emperor Yongjia's accession to the throne. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That night, in Guangwu Town, which is sixty miles away from Xingyang, in a simple post station, Shen Jinyu, who had been driving from the capital for half a month, was sitting on the edge of the bed at this time, and took off the layers of the chest wrap with the dim oil lamp.
Wearing the stars and wearing the moon and hurrying non-stop, in order to arrive one day earlier, there will be less danger.
In the past half a month, the calm on the road some time ago has made her feel more and more paradoxical.
Maybe it was because they set off too hastily, so that the opponent couldn't prepare well and didn't have time to arrange, but more than that, they were afraid that the other party was using this way to make her feel lucky and give another fatal blow.
Today, the rockfall on the mountain stretched down, and she escaped from the car in a hurry, and then walked nearly two or three miles to get here, which made her feel relieved.
Fortunately, the opponent finally made a move, and even better, the coachman left by Cheng Xuan was really agile, and pulled Shen Jinyu out of the car and saved her life from being buried in the mud and rocks.
As soon as he got his clothes, the coachman knocked on the door and came in, handed over the official seal and some clothes on his body, and prepared to go out.
Shen Jinyu called him and asked, "How many people are left?" Are they okay? ”
The driver hesitated slightly: "I don't know, the convoy is not following closely, and the two cars in front of us have come out." As for the people in the back, I don't know, only one person was left to see it, and he hasn't come back yet. ”
Shen Jinyu brought out a stool for him and asked him to sit down.
The coachman pushed again and again, but still did not agree.
Shen Jinyu couldn't force him anymore, so she only asked, "You knew early in the morning that we would pass by the falling rocks today?" That's why we tied these important things to our bodies and arranged all our people in front? Some of the people in the back have problems? ”
The coachman held for a long time before he replied, "I heard some noise." ”
The others refused to speak.
Shen Jinyu didn't expect to ask anything, and said with a smile: "Cheng Xuan didn't tell me your name, and you didn't say it yourself, so what is your name?" What is the family name. ”
The coachman bowed his head and said, "I vaguely only remember that it seems to be surnamed Wu." ”
Shen Jinyu smiled: "Then I'll give you a name, called Wu You, a leisurely and complacent word, do you think it's good?" ”
The coachman did not shirk or thank, nodded and said a good word, his back was straight, like a knife splitting out, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows looked very stubborn.
Shen Jinyu had no choice but to let him go down to rest first. She flipped through it, and her own things were all well packed here, and all the important things were there.
This person is careful and proper, everything is good, but the idea is too big and his mouth is too tight, probably Cheng Xuan asked him to finish all the "dirty work", don't disturb her, is it a fist of love?
Today's incident has given her some benefits, in addition to peace of mind, there are also a lot of outsiders' eyeliner, according to Wu You's arrangement, presumably those people are in the back of the convoy, and now the road is broken, I am afraid it will be difficult to rush over in time, she can rest assured that the sacrificial rites of these days.
The next day, she and the coachman Wu You bought horses and rushed to Xingyang Market to see the local situation, and then asked the follow-up people to buy a carriage and go to the Heyin Mansion after them to prepare for the official sacrifice ceremony.
The person sent over before presented a secret letter, listing in detail the big and small things that had happened in the past month, as long as it was slightly different from the usual, there were a few more outsiders, and the happy events of the family were all recorded.
After reading these in one night, the bad things and the money involved were all outlined, and in the end, there were five families left, which needed to be kept an eye on.
Most of the families here are surnamed Zheng, although many of the strong clans are separated, but in private they are still intertwined, and small things should not be underestimated.
After all these things were taken care of, the rest of the people just bought a carriage and chased after her, and after meeting her, they took the official seal of the clerk and went to the government office.
In the government of Heyin Mansion, I don't know if it was because Wu You was thoughtful and protected her very well, and the county was also respectful, without the slightest obstruction or neglect.
After fasting for seven days, there was nothing wrong with the sacrifice, and even better, there was no change in the five families.
If there is a problem, it is only that the road blocked by stones in front has not been repaired, and if you want to go back, you will have to take a long detour and walk for a few more days.
Shen Jinyu was worried about this peaceful situation, how could it be her turn to do such a smooth thing? But what can you do if you don't leave?
She was worried about her efforts, Wu You handed over a note, and whispered in her ear: "It has been a few days since Gongzi Sangtian came here, and when he was stopped by me outside the county office, he said that you notified him to come." I was afraid that there would be some deception, so I let him inquire outside, but did not enter the house. ”
When Shen Jinyu heard this, she immediately slapped the table and was furious, this idea was too big, she didn't even inform her, she thought about it, Wu You was Cheng Xuan's right-hand man, and he was assigned to listen to a woman's dispatch, and the resentment in his heart was inevitable, but if he didn't suppress such a thing now, how could he use it for her in the future, so he sat down and sneered: "I didn't know that Cheng Xuan asked you to come because you came to teach me to do things and make decisions for me." ”
This sounds a bit damaging, Wu You knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said: "Madame's words are serious, the subordinates are just for the sake of Madame's name, these days the subordinates have been following Madame every step of the way, you have not passed any news to Sangtian, the current scene, it must be false news spread by someone, I also asked Sangtian, he agreed, we did this." ”
Shen Jinyu said coldly: "You have to figure it out, I am the lord of your family, not your wife, how to maintain my reputation is my own business, not to mention, I am now an official of the imperial court, not an ordinary woman, the holy decree issued by the imperial court, there is not half of the information about me being a woman, what I want to maintain is my political achievements, not chastity." When you were by Cheng Xuan's side before, you dared to assert yourself like this? ”
Wu You bowed his head and was silent, and Shen Jinyu said: "I know that you are not convinced, you have worked hard all the way, since Sangtian is here, you will go back to Beijing by yourself first." ”
Wu You was in a hurry, knelt down on his knees, and said prostrately: "I can't go, when the master tells me to come, let me follow Madame, there is absolutely no reason for you to stay in Xingyang and I will go back first, I won't go." ”
Shen Jinyu said: "I'm not your master, and I can't control you, so many things, you have to make a decision yourself, you kneel, I can't afford it." ”
After speaking, he personally helped him up, Wu You was willing to get up, stalemate for a while, Shen Jinyu smiled: "It seems that I can't do anything about you, after returning to Beijing, I will send you back to the Jin Palace, since it is not my person, I can't afford it." ”
