Chapter 81: The Embankment of a Thousand Miles

The news that the DPRK and China had changed to a new left minister, Murong Fu knew about it when he was reading the newspaper. At breakfast, I saw the headline on the front page of the "Bianjing Times" clearly printed: "On the third day of the eighth month of the third year of Yuan You, Lu Weizhongguan worshiped Shangshu's left servant and served as a servant under the door, and sealed the prince of Ji County", Murong choked out a mouthful of fried buns when he re-boarded.

"What's going on? It's not easy to eat! Qiao Feng saw Murong Fu choking and coughing on the ground, and hurriedly put down his xiaolongbao and came over to ease him.

Murong Fu really didn't care about this, and struggled to the door while coughing, shouting: "Third Brother Bao! Come! What about the different packages? ”

After a while, not only did the package arrive, but Wang Yuyan, Deng Baichuan and his wife, Gongye Qian, and Azhu Abi all arrived. Wang Yuyan saw that Murong Fu was coughing and his ears were red, so she hurriedly pulled his sleeve and pressed it into the seat. "It's all coughing like this, sit down! Sit down! As he spoke, he turned back and commanded. Sister Abi, pour a cup of tea for your cousin! ”

Where does Abi need Wang Yuyan's instructions, before Wang Yuyan's words fell, she had already brought tea to Murong Fu. "Son, take a sip of tea first!"

Murong Fu picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, and before he could breathe, he turned his head and asked Bao He in a loud voice: "Duke Lu resigned, and the post of Zuo Xiang was taken over by Lu Dafang, do you know about this?" ”

Bao Bu let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said, "My subordinates know." The bachelor instructed, the son's injury has not healed, so ......"

"Smack!" Before Bao Wei finished speaking, Murong Fu had already smashed the tea bowl in his hand to the ground. "Third Brother Bao, what does it mean for me to let you go and be a housekeeper for the teacher, don't you understand? How dare you hide such a thing from me? ”

Lu Gong is old and old, and in the original history, he was in the third year of Yuanyou. After Lu Gongzhu applied for retirement, Lu Dafang took over as Zuo Xiang. During his tenure, he not only abolished the new law, but also connived at the Shuo Party to frame the New Party and the Luo Party to frame Su Shi. After Murong Fu reached a cooperation agreement with Lu Gongzhu, he instructed Bao Wei to take good care of Lu Gongzhu's body early in the morning, and make sure that he worked as a left minister for a few more years, so that Su Shi had more time to accumulate qualifications. At the beginning of this year, he even wrote a letter and told him to pay close attention to the political situation, and once Lu Gong had the idea of resignation, he should repay him as soon as possible. In order for him to operate and arrange, even if he can't arch Su Shi to the position of the left phase, this phase is given to Fan Chunren and cannot be given to Lu Dafang! Now that the dust has settled, Murong Fu actually learned about Lu Dafang's succession as Zuo Xiang by reading the newspaper, how could he not be angry or hateful?

Bao Wei looked aggrieved, and after a while, he whispered: "Subordinate...... His subordinate was seriously injured some time ago...... When his subordinates know about this, the overall situation has been decided......"

Murong Fu was immediately stunned when he heard this, how could Bao Wei be seriously injured, didn't he want to ask Murong Fu himself? After a while, he sighed, got up, and said apologetically: "It's me who is impatient...... and instructed Abi again. "Abi, change clothes! I'm going to see the teacher! ”

Seeing that Murong Fu was about to go out in a hurry, Qiao Feng also stood up. "Murong, I'll walk with you!"

Seeing Qiao Feng and Murong Fu leave in a hurry, Ah Bi couldn't help but look worried, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Sun ordered early in the morning, Gongzi can't work hard during this time......

Wang Yuyan also sighed, shook her head and said: "We can't stop the major affairs of the family and the country." "Glancing at the broken courtyard wall, I couldn't help but add a sentence." Or do your best to fix the wall so that my cousin doesn't run away again. ”

Thinking of that day when Qiao Feng and Murong Fu came back from a distraction, they were counted down by Wang Yuyan, and Ah Bi couldn't help but purse her lips. She hurriedly lowered her head and said softly: "I'll make some snacks and put them on the stove to warm, and the prince will use them when he comes back." ”

Ah Zhu Abi performed his duties in Murong Mansion, Ah Bi went to the kitchen, and Ah Zhu returned to the hall to arrange for the servants to clean up the dishes, chopsticks and broken porcelain. Not long after, her twin sister Ah Zi slipped in and shouted to Ah Zhu, "Sister, sister! Sister Azhu, let's go out and play! It turned out that this time Sister-in-law Deng heard the news that Murong Fu was injured and rushed to the capital, and she actually brought Ah Zi with her.

When Ah Zi first arrived at Swallow Dock, she was thin and sallow and short-tempered, and everyone couldn't believe that she and the gentle and general Ah Zhu were twin sisters. However, after all, the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River raise people, and in just a few years, she has already been slim and slim, and her appearance is very similar to Azhu, and Sister-in-law Deng admired Murong Fu's vision. However, Ah Zi is naughty and cunning, and her round eyes are always spinning, but her temperament is far from the calm and dignified Ah Zhu.

Seeing that his sister was bent on having fun, Ah Zhu couldn't help but sigh slightly, and whispered: "You really don't treat yourself as an outsider!" I've been in the capital with us for so long, and I just want to go out and have fun, and I don't even visit my son, how can I do this? ”

Ah Zi snorted coldly and retorted casually without thinking about it. "You sold it to the Murong family as a slave, and I never sold it to the Murong family, why did you visit him?"

As soon as Ah Zi said this, Ah Zhu's face immediately turned cold, and he turned around and said, "Ah Zi girl, I can't stand you as a slave and a 'sister'!" ”

Murong Fu doesn't like Ah Zi, and Sister-in-law Deng also has a lot of disdain for Ah Zi, Ah Zi stays in Yanziwu to eat and drink well, all depending on Ah Zhu's face. Seeing that Ah Zhu was annoyed at this time, Ah Zi hurriedly stepped forward and shook her sleeve, and said pitifully: "Sister, good sister!" It's my sister who doesn't learn and talks nonsense, don't be angry...... Good sister, Ah Zi's teachers all died tragically, and I only have my sister as my only relative in this world......"

Ah Zhu's heart softened when she heard this sentence "the only relative", turned around and combed her hair and said: "The Star Sect is not a good place in the first place, and the prince is also eliminating harm for the people in addition to it." ”

Ah Zi remembered that Murong Fu had abolished her martial arts, and her heart was full of hatred and fear, but she had been with Ah Zhu for many years and was familiar with her temperament, and knew that Ah Zhu treated Murong Fu very respectfully, and she couldn't say Murong Fu's rights and wrongs in front of her. So, she lowered her head to hide the vicious resentment in her eyes, and said with a smile: "We have been here for a few days, Sister Azhu, have you ever seen your big brother Qiao say goodbye?" ”

At the mention of Qiao Feng, Ah Zhu's face immediately became hot, and he was busy cleaning up the incense burner to cover up the past. "Uncle Qiao has married Jin Lan with Gongzi Yeyi, don't call it wrong."

Ah Zi turned a deaf ear, only laughed and asked vigorously: "Have you seen it?" See? ”

Ah Zhu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, and replied softly: "Uncle Qiao and Gongzi are inseparable, so naturally I saw it." ”

Ah Zi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he hurriedly hooked Ah Zhu's shoulder, supported her chin, and asked with a smile, "Then did he praise you for being beautiful?" ”

Ah Zhu's face was on fire, and he hurriedly broke away Ah Zi's hand, and said ashamedly: "Bah, bah! Is this also something that a girl's family can say? Joe...... Uncle Qiao...... How can you be so frivolous as you? ”

When Ah Zi heard this, he sighed for a long time, and said with a solemn expression: "Good sister, Qiao Feng has never praised you for your appearance...... If he is not born blind, he will treat you as a slave from the bottom of his heart, and you cannot be compared with him! ”

Just now Ah Zi arranged her, and Ah Zhu endured it. But now that I heard Ah Zi say that Qiao Feng was not, Ah Zhu actually changed color and said sharply: "Shut up!" Uncle Qiao is a big hero who is hard to find in the world, how can you slander him so nonsense? ”

Seeing that Ah Zhu was really angry, Ah Zi hurriedly shrank his mouth and grimaced again, and no longer mentioned Qiao Feng. I saw that she walked around the hall twice with her hands behind her back, and then pointed to the spices on Azhu's hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

Ah Zhu lowered his head and poured the newly changed spices into the incense burner, and replied: "This is the incense that Gongzi is used to, and only by lighting the incense can he feel at ease." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the speaker has intention. Seeing Ah Zi's eyes turn, he stepped forward and grabbed a handful of spices and lowered his head to sniff. "Is this white sandalwood?"

"Exactly!" Ajuqi said, "You actually know this? On weekdays, you are not happy to let you learn Chinese characters and female celebrities......"

"That's it!" Ah Zi said triumphantly, "Our Star Sect is the best at poisoning, what spices haven't you seen?" As he spoke, he faintly showed a look of jealousy and hatred. The price of this white sandalwood is more than gold, and your father-in-law's life is inevitably too comfortable......"

"What?" Ah Zhu really couldn't see Ah Zi's weird appearance, and immediately scolded loudly. "You also eat the Murong family and wear the Murong family, how can the jade food and the silk and silk have not been missing you?"

Azhu's words are indeed fair. Although Azhu Abi is called a maidservant, Murong Fu has always valued them and pampered them like a young lady. When Ah Zi was sent to Swallow Dock, Murong Fu only mentioned that her identity was Ah Zhu's sister, and the rest did not explain a word. Although Sister-in-law Deng was extremely strict with Ah Zi in order to bring back Ah Zi's violent and rebellious personality, she was always better than Ah Zhu in terms of food and clothing. At this point, even Ah Zi can't say anything that is not. I saw that she stuck out her tongue to Azhu, and said happily: "Since Murong Gongzi is rich and rivals the country, he doesn't care about this bit of white sandalwood. Good sister, let my sister enjoy it too! As she spoke, she casually grabbed a large handful of white sandalwood and stuffed it into her arms, and immediately ran away.

How much sandalwood can be used for incense? There weren't many sandalwood in front of him, but he was grabbed twice by Ah Zilian, and it didn't seem to be enough. Ah Zhu didn't want to get the key to open the warehouse for a little white sandalwood, so he hurriedly chased out, shouting while chasing: "Ah, Ah Zi!" Stop making a fuss, Ah Zi! Give it back to me! ”

As soon as the two girls ran out of the courtyard one after the other, they bumped into Gongye Qian.

Gongye Qian was very preoccupied, and when he saw Ah Zi crashing into his arms, he immediately lowered his face, pulled Ah Zi's arm and scolded: "Reckless, what kind of system?" ”

Ah Zhu has always been the most frightened, and hurriedly blessed him. "I've seen Mr. Gongye."

"What?" Gongye Qian's face was still not good.

Ah Zhu glanced at Ah Zi timidly, and whispered: "Ah Zi took the white sandalwood of the princess to play, I want to chase it back......"

Hearing Ah Zhu mention the words "Gongziye", Gongye Qian's face sank again. Gongye Qian has always been the most disciplined, but this time he looked down at Ah Zi, who was full of cunning, for a while, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a little white sandalwood, and it's worth shouting?" Ah Zi likes it, and if she gives it to play, the prince will not take it to heart. It's all gone! ”

"It's still Mr. Gongye's generosity!" Ah Zi hurriedly flattered Gong Ye Qian, proudly raised the white sandalwood in his hand to Ah Zhu, and walked away in a hurry.

Gongye Qian's final word, Ah Zhu had nothing to say, so he went back to work with Gongye Qianfu again.

After the two sisters left, Gong Yeqian was stunned in the courtyard alone. At this moment, he remembered his conversation with Deng Baichuan just now.

After Murong Fu left, Deng Baichuan quietly dragged Gongye Qian to a guest room while there was no one around. "A few days ago, Gongzi was injured by Tianshan Tong's grandmother, and when the planter found Gongzi, Gongzi was already unconscious. Listening to Qiao Feng, the prince had ordered him before, if he met you on the road, he would take you down. After the prince sobered up, he asked me about it again......"

Deng Baichuan said half of his words, Gongye Qian's heart jumped, and in the August weather, his back was covered with cold sweat in an instant. "What did Big Brother say?" Gong Yeqian subconsciously swallowed his saliva and asked. As soon as the words came out, he realized that his voice was shady and hoarse, and even more faintly trembled, obviously very frightened.

Deng Baichuan shook his head and said ashamedly: "I didn't tell the truth. "On that day, after receiving the news that the Golden Dao Gate was slaughtered, he hurriedly ordered troops to find Murong Fu, and Deng Baichuan was originally looking for it with the Daoist soldiers in two ways. In the end, the seed master Dao found Qiao Feng and Murong Fu, but Deng Baichuan met Gongye Qian on the road. At that time, Gongye Qian was hurrying to Huanzhou with several Xia warriors. "Second brother, what did you do again? Why is Childe so concerned about your whereabouts? Also, why did you rush back when you saw me that day? ”

Gongye Qian was immediately relieved when he heard that Deng Baichuan helped him hide it. His mind was racing, and he instantly thought of a reason to perfunctory Deng Baichuan. "Big brother, didn't I already say it when we met that day? I was ordered by the concubine of Xia Guo to find out the whereabouts of Tianshan Tong's grandmother. At that time, my subordinates and I were in the territory of the Song Kingdom, and we met the army of the Song Kingdom, so why should I, an official of the Xia Kingdom, avoid it! ”

"Then why did the prince order you to be taken down?" Deng Baichuan asked again.

Gongye Qian was silent for a while, and said tentatively: "What did Grandma Xu Tianshan Tong say?" ”

"Impossible!" Deng Baichuan shook his head resolutely, "The prince is determined and will never be swayed by words." ”

"That's because the news that Yipintang used the Vulture Palace arrived too late, and the prince thought I was derelict in my duty." Gongye Qian was discouraged and sad.

Deng Baichuan agreed with this answer. I saw that he was silent for a while, and suddenly said strangely: "Then why did the prince let him go later?" ”

Gongye Qian raised his left palm and shook it in front of Deng Baichuan's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Probably to see the face of the eldest brother, thank you eldest brother!" ”

Seeing that the position of Gongyeqian's left index finger was cut off, Deng Baichuan couldn't help but sigh again. "Childe is the most important rule, as long as you do things solidly, even if you can't do it, Childe can tolerate it. But if he breaks his rules......"

"Big brother, I understand." Gongye Qian hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Gongye does treat me well, and Gongye will work hard to help Gongzi achieve great things!" ”

Deng Baichuan patted Gongyeqian's shoulder safely, and finally advised: "I have never told Gongzi about this matter, and you don't want to say anything." Careful work in the future is the only way to do things! ”

His thoughts ended here, Gongye Qianqian shook his head slightly, and after a long time, he suddenly sneered. That day, he rushed to Huanzhou with a few of Xia Guo's cronies, and Gongye Qian's heart was in turmoil along the way, and he only vaguely felt that there might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity waiting for him. As for what the opportunity was, he couldn't answer anything. And now, he stroked the severed finger of his left hand, which had long been healed but had always been faintly throbbing, and his heart was already condensed.
