Chapter 389
October 26, night, Jin'an County Station.
A fast horse galloped from the official road and stopped at the gate of the post station.
The school guard guarding the door walked to the door, glanced outside, and immediately smiled: "General Wu is back." ”
Wu Hook nodded to him, threw a dime of silver, and commanded, "Add some fodder to the horses." ”
The school guard happily took the money and said "yes", and led the horse to the back.
Wu Hook adjusted his helmet and walked quickly into the gate of the post station.
Meng Yuan was leaning on the head of the bed, looking at the one-star light on the table, not knowing what he was thinking. It wasn't until Wu Gou knocked on the door and called "master" that he came back to his senses.
"Come in." Meng Yuan said lightly.
Wu Gou pushed the door and walked in, and said to Meng Yuan: "Master, my subordinates have brought things back." ”
Meng Yuan stretched out a hand and said, "Bring it." ”
Wu Gou carefully took out a large envelope from his arms, presented it to Meng Yuan with both hands, and said, "It's all here." ”
Meng Yuan took the envelope and nodded, "You go down and rest." ”
Wu Gou answered, and then lightly withdrew from the house, and closed the door again.
Until he walked out, Wu Hook's head was crooked.
He's thinking about things.
Or rather, there was something he couldn't figure out.
Obviously, they will return to Beijing in a few days, and his master will be able to read the things in this letter at that time. But this master is good, he can't even wait for the past few days, and he has to ask him to run back to the post station behind him and retrieve the letter that was sent. I don't know what important things are said in that letter, which can make his master like this.
Wu Gou tilted his head to think about his thoughts, and then went back to the house.
Here Meng Yuan lit the lamp and candle, sat down at the table, and then opened the envelope, and after reading two lines, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself: "It's quite rich, and the shop alone has these." ”
He smiled as he perused the contents of the paper. The boring shop name and the location of the grange, the annual income and income, etc. Look in his eyes at the moment. But it's like the most interesting thing in the world.
And in his mind, a delicate figure gradually emerged, and a beautiful face that was difficult to describe.
No matter where she is, that delicate girl will always be so clear and cold. It seems that he is never moved by external objects. And she herself didn't know it. Such a cold and clear beauty, looking at his eyes, how bright and dazzling. It filled all his sights.
He wanted to know more about her, more, so he sent people from the capital to Gusu, and then from Gusu to the capital, carefully exploring every trace of her trajectory and every trace.
And as soon as this news comes together, he can't wait to see it as soon as possible, even if it's a day earlier. That's why he asked Wu Gou to ride a fast horse to retrieve the letter, if it weren't for the injury on his leg, he would definitely run this trip by himself.
Meng Yuan read the letter with a smile, and in the guest room of the Jin'an County Post Station, the candle flame was also burning all night, and it was not extinguished all night......
**********************
On the third day after Princess Mingzhu's visit to Baishi Academy, the Holy Majesty decreed that two days later, that is, on the evening of October 29, a state banquet would be held to entertain the Khan Mission.
In the invitations sent to each residence, it is specifically stated that if you bring children with you to the banquet, you must only bring the following four types:
1. Students of Baishi Academy; 2. Students of Guozijian; 3. A young prodigy who has been admitted to the Xiucai and above fame; Fourth, the young heroes who are in the martial arts examination.
Only the children of the above four nobles are allowed to attend the banquet.
Such strict requirements for people attending state banquets are the first time in this dynasty. In addition to being surprised, everyone was also very curious about this state banquet.
There are even rumors in the market that the emperor held a state banquet to choose a son-in-law for Princess Fu'an. This statement was immediately opposed by many. According to the analysis of people familiar with the matter, this state banquet is likely to select a talent from the royal family, conclude a good relationship with the pearl princess, and form a good relationship with Qin and Jin. There is another theory that is not much different, but the protagonist is replaced by Xiao Changyuan, the prince of the Khan Khanate, saying that he will marry Princess Fu'an at the state banquet.
There are different opinions, but the atmosphere of this state banquet is hot, and even the winter in Jinling City has become a little warmer.
In those days, Fu Jia walked in the house with the wind.
If there is no Fu Jun, this glory must belong to Fu Jia alone. However, even with Fu Jun, it's nothing. Because, Fu Jia is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she will sit in the front row with the Marquis of the first class. And Fu Jun could only follow the father of the third-grade official and accompany the last seat in the last row.
Every time she thinks of this, Fu Jia really wakes up with a smile in her dreams.
Finally, there was a time, and she Fu Jia was so proud of her martial arts, and in front of the fourth sister who always pressed her, she trembled her majesty greatly.
When Fu Jun listened to the words sent by Shanqiao, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
She really didn't want to go to any more feasts. Whether it was a palace banquet or a state banquet, none of them were what she wanted to go.
Moreover, the Khan Khanate mission obviously came for demonstration, saying that it was to send Bailu to renew diplomatic relations, but in fact it was a show of force. Fu Jun has every reason to believe that this state banquet will definitely not be less gunpowder.
The emperor hasn't breathed that breath yet.
If you can't save the face of the Han Dynasty in public at the state banquet, and save the emperor's face that was beaten "PIA, PIA", why is there any need for a state banquet? What's more, the standard for attending the banquet is set so high, which is obviously a banquet set up to show the might of our Han Dynasty.
This time, the so-called banquet was not a good feast, and it was aimed at the raging Khan mission.
If she didn't have to go to the banquet, Fu Jun would still be quite willing to see the excitement, but now that she has to come to the scene in person, she will inevitably feel worried.
If the two countries are at loggerheads and their little pond fish suffers, isn't she the one who is unlucky in the end?
At this time, Fu Jun's only feeling fortunate is that this is a state banquet, and what is discussed at the banquet must be a major event of the family and the country.
Two days flew by.
On the day of the state banquet, the main gate of Pingnan Hou's Mansion Xuanqi was opened, Pingnan Hou, Mrs. Hou and Fu Jia had a car, Fu Geng, Zheng and Fu Jun had a car, and Fu Chen and Fu Cong brothers each rode a ride, and then there were a number of guards and entourage, and the group left the Hou Mansion and went to the palace.
Mrs. Hou looked a little sad all the way.
Her most beloved second room, no one can be lucky enough to come to the state banquet in person, to see this rare grand occasion, how do you make her happy? If Fu Jue could listen to her and go to Baishi to study, he would have come with him at this time.
Mrs. Hou really feels worried when she thinks about it.
Zheng, who was sitting in another carriage, also looked uneasy.
It was the first time she had participated in such a banquet, not to mention, since the flower banquet in the Marquis of Fuyuan Mansion last year, after a year, this was the first time she appeared on such a formal social occasion. It's impossible not to be nervous.
However, no matter how nervous she was, she had to endure it.
There were two people in the car, one big and one small, the big one with a solemn face, not knowing what he was thinking; The little one was indifferent, and even closed his eyes, closing his eyes to recuperate. Zheng didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only hold back and not speak. (To be continued......)
