Chapter Forty-Eight: To Stay or Not to Stay?

"My son, my son, if only I could come back safely."

Wu Shi cried enough and hugged Wu Ruiyun, and his hands trembled and stroked the child's back, chattering incessantly.

"I'm worried about my aunt." Wu Ruiyun's son came back to his senses, but he felt that it was unseemly for a man to cry like this, and his face turned red.

"A family of flesh and blood, say these things are very much." Wu Shi glared at him, and before he could say anything, he saw two men in brocade clothes come in, and as soon as the two people came in, they saw Wu Shi first, and one of the men with tangled hair coiled on the top of his head said angrily: "Wu Gongzi, should you repay the money you borrowed from us first." ”

"What's going on?" Wu Shi asked in surprise.

Ji Songxian and Ji Wei and Ji Zhen also looked at Wu Ruiyun, this Wu Ruiyun's face was even redder, and he was speechless, or the two brocade guards really couldn't explain it.

Jin Yiwei, who spoke before, said: "I really haven't seen Wu Gongzi so faceless and skinless." ”

Another also accosted: "Yes, I have never heard that the officials and the people are afraid of Jinyiwei, and I have never seen death stop Jinyiwei asking for money." ”

Wu Ruiyun's head hung lower.

Ji Songxian glanced at this cousin carefully, and couldn't help but secretly say that he really gained knowledge, but he really didn't expect his cousin to be such a person.

But it turned out that through the dialogue between the two Jinyi guards, the Ji family understood what kind of person Wu Ruiyun was.

At that time, Wu Ruiyun knew that he was living in a black store, and his luggage and money were all collected by the owner of the black store, and he escaped with only a single coat. At that time, there were still two or three days away from Jinling, and Wu Ruiyun didn't know what to do.

Although he looked weak, he also had some strength because of some situations at home, and he could walk when he walked, and this person was still quite thick-skinned, and he begged for two meals, and he was never hungry.

After another day of walking, Wu Ruiyun was a little overwhelmed, and was thinking about whether to ask for food or food, when he saw a few horses running not far from the official road. When they got closer, they seemed to be all people who were wearing yamen to serve. And those clothes are a little familiar, Wu Ruiyun patted his brain and thought that he must be a person from the public family, even if he did this, it would be easy to do.

He took a few steps and stopped in front of his horse. If you don't care about it, you have to borrow money from others.

In fact, these people are Jinyiwei who came out on an errand. Coming out of Jinling and walking all the way, I saw people and people were afraid. I had never seen anyone who dared to stop their horses, so the Qianhu who took the lead was a little interested, stopped his horse and asked a few words: "You are so rude." We borrow money from others for no reason, and we don't recognize you, and you are not relatives or friends, so why should we lend you money? ”

Another hundred households smiled: "I'm afraid you don't know us, but we are Jinyiwei." ”

Originally, they thought that Wu Ruiyun must be afraid when they heard the name of Jinyiwei, but they didn't expect Wu Ruiyun to laugh instead: "I didn't know, but now it is better to know that you are Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei specializes in catching corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I am not that kind of person, what are you afraid of, besides, I am a lifter, and I can be regarded as having an official body, and you are also working for the government, in this way, everyone is a peer, that is, a peer, although I don't know it, but there should also be a friendship with admiration, I am in trouble so far, you can't ignore it, lend me some money, When I get to Jinling, I will definitely return it to you. ”

"Oh?" Such words made the thousand households laugh: "If you don't pay it back, we don't recognize you, where will we find it if you cheat us out of money and run away?" ”

"If not, if you send me to Jinling, I will be rewarded heavily." Wu Ruiyun heard that people were unwilling to lend him money, so he cheekily begged for an escort, which was really afraid of him walking day and night.

"We have to handle the case, and we don't have time to send you." Qianhu said with a smile, and saw that Wu Ruiyun was the first person who was not afraid of Jinyiwei, and this person was really a bit bookish, so he didn't want to embarrass him, so he asked a small flag in charge of silver behind him to take the silver to Wu Ruiyun, and after giving it to him, he asked: "You have to tell us where you live in Jinling, otherwise ......."

Without waiting for the thousand households to finish speaking, Wu Ruiyun immediately said: "I am Ji Xiang's nephew, and I will live in Ji Mansion when I arrive in Jinling, don't be afraid, I will definitely pay back." ”

As soon as they heard that they were relatives of Ji Xiang's family, these thousands of households paid attention to it.

It turned out that these thousand households were Cheng Huaijin's henchmen, but he knew that Cheng Huaijin cared for the Ji family a little, and knew that the youngest daughter of the Ji Xiang family was the most beautiful, and he had guessed that his top boss must have some meaning to the daughter of the Ji Xiang family, so the matter of making Ji Xiang's fart was naturally to be held, so he sent two small flags to send Wu Ruiyun to Jinling.

He was right to think so, but unfortunately the two Xiaoqi didn't understand the meaning of their boss, and thought that Qianhu was afraid that Wu Ruiyun would open his eyes and say nonsense, so he asked them to go with him to see if it was really a relative of the Ji family, and then stared at it and asked someone to pay back the money early.

Therefore, there is the above one.

Naturally, the Ji family didn't know what Qianhu and Xiaoqi were thinking, but they only knew that Wu Ruiyun was really ...... is bold, the thousands of households in the brocade guard are Ji Jin, who dare not stop him, he dares to stop him, he is lucky enough not to make people angry, but he has some benefits, not only silver, but also someone to escort him.

After hearing this, the Ji family's face stiffened, and they really didn't know what to say.

"This, this." Wu Ruiyun lowered his head: "Auntie, you ...... You put the money on for me first, and then pay my aunt back when I write a letter and ask my father to send me the money. ”

Wu Shi's heart was frightened when he heard this, and when he heard what Wu Ruiyun said about repaying the money, he immediately raised his eyebrows and glared: "What is this called, what is it or not, whatever you want, you go and get the silver to the two Xiaoqi, and send more tea and wine money." ”

In the end, when people sent their nephews back, Wu couldn't help but thank them, and the tea and wine money were indispensable.

He stepped back as he pleased, and after a while he came over with the silver, thanked him first, and then handed it over.

The two Xiaoqi saw that the Ji family had given a lot of money, and they had a smile on their faces, and they retreated after making a noise with Ji Jinhan.

As soon as Xiaoqi left, Ji Zhen took a few steps over to help Wu Ruiyun sit down, and said with a smile: "Cousin is really bold, how dare you stop Jinyiwei?" I am not afraid that those people will cut off your head in a fit of rage. ”

Wu Ruiyun lowered his head and said in a very low voice: "When I was really at home, those officials were very talkative, and they all laughed when they saw me......

This time, even Ji Songxian didn't know what to say.

This cousin is really stupid, even if she is a woman in the house, she can't even figure it out.

The people in the Yamen in their hometown naturally know the origin of the Wu family, and they also know that the son-in-law of the Wu family is the prime minister of the dynasty, and if they don't look at anything else, they will treat the Wu family well because Ji Yi will treat them well, but if you leave home, who knows which one you are? No, who would be so kind.

It's just that this reason couldn't be explained clearly to his cousin for a while, and the Ji family didn't say anything, and after a while, Ji Wei sighed: "Cousin, I'm afraid I'm tired, I'll freshen up and rest for a while, I'll ask someone to get some food to eat with my cousin." ”

"Okay, okay." Wu Ruiyun hurriedly nodded: "I only ate one meal with those two small flags, all of them are big fish and meat, and my son wants to eat light." ”

"Hmm." Ji Songxian got up and nodded and walked out of the house, when she stood under the porch, she rubbed her face vigorously, she only felt that if she talked to this cousin again, she was afraid that her face would become stiff, and it was only a little more than a day to walk, and it would only take more than half a day to come on horseback, but didn't she just eat one meal, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen was rich in oil, and there was no shortage of travel expenses at all, plus the hard journey, the food was better, this was deserved, but Wu Ruiyun ......

Alas, Ji Songxian only sighed.

After a few sighs, Ji Songxian had to go to the kitchen to get Wu Ruiyun some light food, and then sent a small girl to serve Wu Ruiyun.

After the explanation, Ji Songxian went back to talk to Wu's, and after a while, the kung fu meal came up, Wu Ruiyun finished eating, wiped his mouth, took the new clothes sent by the little maid, went to the bathroom to take a bath first, combed his hair, dressed up cleanly, and then came to visit.

Wu only told Wu Ruiyun to go and rest quickly, but Wu Ruiyun said that he was not tired, and said that he was not sleepy, and it was better to accompany Wu to talk, Wu smiled and nodded, and praised Wu Ruiyun for his filial piety and courtesy.

For a while, Wu asked about the situation at home, and asked Wu Ruiyun how the elders in the family were? How are the juniors getting married.

Wu Ruiyun answered one by one, but his expression was a little bad, Wu Shi saw that he was busy asking, Wu Ruiyun twisted his eyebrows and replied with a sad face: "I really don't know how to say it, this is ...... Let's not talk about it, the aunt of the province is worried. ”

"Say." Wu slapped the table: "You kid, what else can you hide from your aunt." ”

Wu Ruiyun's face was even more sad: "It's not a glorious thing to say, my father is ...... Alas, I don't know how a few years ago, I even learned from others to accept the concubine room, now my cousin is also four or five years old, my father now loves my cousin, and the people next to him have retreated, even my mother is not allowed to see my father, and the concubine room is the most likely to sow discord, and my father quarrels with my mother all day long, if it is not so old, plus my mother has a few of us to support, I am afraid that my father can really do something to divorce his wife. ”

It's okay to say anything else, as soon as he talked about the words of this concubine, Wu's anger rose from his heart, and the table slammed: "This is, how did you say this?" Why is my brother so confused, he has always had trouble in the back house, how can he not understand it, hum, is it that he thinks that he can be a brother-in-law who is a prime minister, and he doesn't want to think about his own identity background, and the mud on his feet has not been shaken off, so he learns to be sent by the eldest master, and also follows those who don't go up to learn to raise a little old woman, and he can't learn well, and he doesn't even have a wife and concubine, and he is not afraid of making any trouble. ”

After scolding, Wu Shi said to Wu Ruiyun again: "You can stay in peace, I will ask your uncle to write a letter to talk to your father tomorrow, so that he doesn't know who his surname is." ”

Ji Songxian has been sitting next to him and watching, hanging his head slightly at this time, and saying in his heart Is this cousin stupid or not, stupid or fine?

If you want to say that he is stupid, he actually knows that he is using the situation to suppress his father, but if you want to say that he is not stupid, then he dares to intercept the Jinyi guard. (To be continued......)
