Chapter 108: Invitation

Cui Ting sent Gu Yuan to the door of Cui's mansion, his expression was a little solemn, and he spoke for a long time before he spoke: "You go back to Changchun Temple first, I will take care of the affairs in the mansion, don't worry." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Gu Yuan smiled reluctantly and said softly, "It's okay. He did not look at him again, but went to the carriage.

Gu Yuan, who returned to Changchun Temple, was preoccupied, and went back to the room to sit alone, staring out the window in a daze. It is already autumn, the leaves of the ginkgo tree planted in the Changchun view have turned yellow, the west wind blows, and a few pieces fall from time to time, a few autumn scenes.

Gu Yuan didn't have the heart to look at the autumn colors, she was full of Fang Cai in the Cui Mansion, and Mrs. Cui looked at her defensive and contemptuous gaze, her heart was like a hard stone, and she couldn't calm down. After a long time, she smiled self-deprecatingly, her identity is like this, and she already knows that the eyes of these families are above the top, so they naturally can't look down on it, so why think about it again and accept it calmly, but why is that heart still faintly painful.

Ah Luo came in with a few letters: "Sister-in-law, what is the steward who sent the letter." ”

Gu Yuan collected his thoughts, opened the letterhead and looked at it carefully, and after looking at it at a glance, a smile couldn't help but show a smile on his originally gloomy face. Steward He's letter said that the edict in the palace had come down, Feng Wenyi was named the four-rank Fenwei general, and stayed in Jiankang to serve, and the original five-grade tiger general Zhao Ying was also promoted and became the four-rank Xuande general, and Feng Wenyi was on an equal footing with Feng Wenyi, Zhao Ying was the general of the Jiankang patrol camp, and Feng Wenyi was the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, each performing his own duties.

Looking at the letterhead, Gu Yuan smiled slightly, Feng Wenyi was no longer as smooth as in his previous life, and was named a third-grade hussar general in one fell swoop, commanding the Jiankang patrol camp and the forbidden army in the palace, but as she wished, let Zhao Ying take away the military power of the Jiankang patrol camp, does it mean that Sima Qi, the king of Langya, no longer trusts Feng Wenyi so much? That's why Zhao Ying, who is proficient in the art of using soldiers, has repeatedly made good strategies, and took away the military power against Feng Wenyi?

Another letter was sent by Zhao Yingtuo He Guan Shi, he respectfully wrote Sima Qi's dealings with him in the letter, and also wrote that Sima Qi entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, asking him to join forces with Feng Wenyi to control Jiankang as a golden soup, and once again thanked Gu Yuan for mentioning him many times, so that he could seize the opportunity to win Sima Qi's attention, and asked Gu Yuan what to do next.

After reading it, Gu Yuan didn't reply to him, but just wrote a letter to Steward He, asking him to tell Zhao Ying that everything should be done according to Sima Qi's wishes, be good friends with Feng Wenyi, and there is no need to make any moves.

Another letter she wrote was addressed to Mrs. Lu, the letter was very short, only a few sentences, asking Mrs. Lu to take her into the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When she had finished writing this, she dried the letterhead and gave it to Aro, and told her to tell the coachman to deliver the letter to the house at once, and that everything should be done as soon as possible. Time is getting more and more pressing, Zheng Zhu is afraid that it will not be safe to stay in his house any longer, it is time to use it.

Wuyi Lane Xie Mansion, Xie Xuan got out of the carriage, looking a little tired, he had just rushed back to Jiankang from Luoyang. At this time, Luoyang has been harassed by the Hu people, and it has long lost its former prosperity and stability, and the Xie family branch in Luoyang is also busy packing up and planning to move south to Jiankang, and the Xie family specially asked Xie Xuan to go to Luoyang to grasp the overall situation for the Xie family in Luoyang and organize the clansmen to move south.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, the attendant sent a post to him: "Lang Jun, someone sent a post today, please go to the Getaway to see him." "Xiaoyaoju is the most luxurious and high-end wine shop in Jiankang, unlike ordinary wine shops that attract guests, only the children of the family can enter and exit, and the common people are not allowed to enter. In the past, Xie Xuan, Wang Yan, and Cui Ting also frequented.

Xie Xuan glanced at the post, there was no payment on it, it was just an ordinary invitation, and frowned slightly: "Who sent it?" ”

The attendant bowed and said, "I didn't leave my name, I just sent it from an ordinary servant." ”

Xie Xuan took the post with his hand, maybe it was left by Wang Yan, he went back to the house to change his robe, and then hurried to Xiaoyaoju.

Living on the other side of the Qinhuai River, you can see the thirteen squares on the other side of the river, but there is no sense of wind and dust, and there is even a small courtyard, with green tiles and gray walls, planted with verdant bamboo, which does not look like a wine shop, but more like the house of a family.

Xie Xuan arrived at the door of Xiaoyaoju, and the attendant standing in front of the door hurriedly bowed: "Xie Jialangjun." "This is the place where the Langjun of the family often comes, and the attendants know every Langjun of the Jiankang family, and Xie Xuan makes them dare not slack off.

Xie Xuan nodded, stepped into the door, walked through the courtyard, and entered the high pavilion, the pavilion here is several stories high, the first and second floors are used by the children of ordinary families, and the children of second-rate families can enter and exit above the third floor, and the highest five-story pavilion can only be brought up by Wang Xie Cui. Xie Xuan naturally went up to the fifth floor, walked to the couch and sat down on the railing, a little strange, Wang Yan has always been punctual, but this time he was late.

He raised his eyes to look at the lively Qinhuai River outside the free house, at this time it was already the beginning of the lanterns, the lights on the Qinhuai River were intertwined, like the Milky Way that fell into the world, reflecting the slightly rippling river, making people dizzy, and there was a distant singing sound across the river, like a dream.

He suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in Luoyang before, the tall city walls of the prosperous ancient city of Luoyang in the past had been dilapidated, and there were many routs left by the Hu people's siege, except for the defenders in the city, there were no people in sight, every household was closed, the lively streets of the past had been dead and silent, all the shops and shops had been closed, and the whole Luoyang city was deserted, and only a few of the mansions of the big families still had people in and out, but they were all panicked and full of melancholy.

When he went, the people in Luoyang Xie's Mansion surrounded him like seeing a savior, and told him about the current situation, and he knew that the army of Qianhu and the Northern Wei Dynasty had been stationed north of the Yellow River, ready to cross the river at any time, and the people in Luoyang City had already fled one after another, fleeing to the south, only for fear that the Hu people would break through Luoyang City and become the soul of the murderous and brutal Hu people. And the families in the city were also busy moving south, abandoning all the fields and manors and mansions, and it was safe to flee to Jiankang.

Sitting on the high Xiaoyao Pavilion, he looked at the tall and majestic city wall in the distance, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, is Jiankang really a safe place?

Just when he was full of thoughts and worries, soft footsteps sounded behind him, and someone whispered: "Xie Jialangjun." (To be continued.) )
