Chapter 212: Return to Beijing
Leisurely times always pass quickly, and before you know it, it's the end of September.
On the last day of September, An Shiting and his entourage rushed back to Shengjing from the northwest, although everyone's face was tired and haggard, but they could not hide the joy and excitement in their eyes.
So there are those who are suffocated, those who say sour things, and those who are envious, knowing that things are so simple and not dangerous, who will give up a great opportunity to others?
At this point, those who were unable to move forward at the beginning can only regret it.
However, in reality, the trip to the Northwest is not as easy as others think.
The stab wound on Ain's back is proof of this.
When Murong saw the long scar for the first time, the whole person was stunned, if it wasn't for An Shiting's kind words and coaxing, she would have cried on the spot.
And when the couple talked about themselves at night, An Shiting also revealed some things that happened in the northwest.
"This way to the north, the assassin has not been broken, the wound on my back is in Ganye County investigation, was injured by the assassin, that time we brought more than half of the guards killed and wounded, if it weren't for the stubborn resistance of Wei Guogong and the young master of Wei Guogong, let everyone hold on until the reinforcements arrived, I am afraid that we will have no return."
Thinking of the danger at that time, An Shiting still had palpitations.
Murong was so frightened that he tightened his clothes, and only when the whole person was close to him could he find a trace of peace of mind, and choked up: "Buddha bless, fortunately, you came back safely, and we will come to thank Wei Guogong for saving his life another day." ”
An Shiting nodded solemnly, and then joked again: "I thought you were going to persuade me not to contact Wei Guogong, after all, my father is very disgusted with Wei Guogong." ”
Hearing his relaxed tone, Murong also wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "One thing is one thing." No matter how much my father doesn't like Wei Guogong, he can't deny the fact that Wei Guogong saved you, even if you were reprimanded by your father, this favor will also be repaid. ”
Compared with the reputation of the Hou Mansion, she cares more about her husband's life.
"You're the most sensible." An Shiting admired, relieved and rejoiced.
Murong smiled gently, and then asked, "Have you planned about Fourth Master Zhong?" ”
An Shiting smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I have a headache when I talk about it. My father and my fifth brother disagreed, and I was caught in the middle. ”
"Yes." Murong agreed with his head, "But this matter can't be delayed any longer." Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be noisy, and it's not people inside and out. After a pause, he added, "I'm happy to look at the fifth aunt." ”
Thinking of the day when the Meng clan took An Ruoxian to Suotong Yuan to beg for words, Murong couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "The fifth aunt talked and did things for a while. Today it is white, tomorrow it will be dark. Sister Lan also cast the wrong baby, if she was thrown into our knees early in the morning, she wouldn't have to suffer so much. ”
The husband and wife reunited after a long absence, and they were very happy in their hearts. Speak briskly and intimately, without the previous scruples and caution.
An Shiting raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, grabbed her shoulders and took the person into his arms. In her ear, she whispered dumbly, "Lan'er can't catch up, but we can let the other children throw themselves under our knees." ”
The Murong clan didn't wake up for a while. When he understood, he immediately blushed, glanced at him shyly, pushed his shoulder, and said, "Tell me about business!" ”
An Shiting hugged her ears and sideburns, and laughed in a low voice: "Isn't it just about business." ”
provoked Murong Shi to be ashamed and annoyed, and gave him a few pink punches.
The couple laughed for a while, and then they got serious again, An Shiting said: "Let's see what Sister Lan says, if she is willing, I will answer Fourth Master Zhong." ”
Murong also thought the same way, and said: "I see that Fourth Master Zhong really loves Sister Lan, and he often came to visit Sister Lan before, and he also sent a lot of things to eat, drink and play. ”
She told An Shiting everything that happened some time ago, and when it came to the township test, she naturally praised An Ruolan again.
An Shiting has a warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, and he has long been a little distracted, but his wife keeps talking about the children, which really makes him angry and sad, or happy and relieved.
Angry because the wife is always thinking about the child and leaving herself aside, happy because the wife cares about and loves the child, which is their common child, and there is no man who does not want his wife to care for his child.
Although he couldn't get close as he wished, seeing his wife's shining and loving eyes, An Shiting was also content.
The husband and wife hugged each other and talked softly, until they couldn't resist the sleepiness before hugging each other and falling asleep.
Just before sleeping, An Shiting repeatedly told Murong Clan not to tell anyone what he said tonight, about the Northwest, Murong Clan knew the severity, so he naturally responded cautiously.
Since the group came back from the northwest, there was an endless stream of people visiting the Zhou Mansion, the Weiguo Mansion, and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, and everyone knew in their hearts that although the three inspectors may have provoked people because of the investigation of the disaster relief grain payment, it is undeniable that when they return to Shengjing, they are the heroes, and they will definitely be added to the official ranks.
The threshold of the three families was almost flattened, but the Zhou Mansion and the Wei Guo Mansion have long been accustomed to it, after all, Zhou Yuhan and Wei Guogong have always been the emperor's closest and most important ministers, one of the two families copes with it freely, and the other is impatient and closes the door directly, only the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, which has never had this kind of treatment, is busy.
Busy is busy, but the old marquis is willing, not to mention how happy.
He had long forgotten that he had opposed An Shiting's going to the northwest, and others praised him for his foresight, but he did not refuse.
There are not many people who visit the Jin Wangfu and Meng Guofu, firstly, Zhao Yi and Meng Sanshao are just accompanied, not inspectors, and they do not have much merit, and secondly, these two families have always had many rules, and others dare not come to the door lightly, which is the main reason.
Even so, a group of scheming old ministers in the court saw that the few young nobles accompanying the northwest would be the fresh blood injected into the court, and they would also become the upstarts in front of the present.
Compared with the children of the family who entered the imperial examination, the children of the family with actual achievements are more likely to gain a foothold in the imperial court and be promoted.
This can't help but make many people think deeply, this is a good opportunity to make contributions to the office, Zhou Yuhan recommended the prince of Jin, Meng Sanshao and the prince of Zhennan. Even Wei Guogong's eldest son went later, but Zhou Yuhan's own parents did not go with him, why is this?
Some say that Zhou Yuhan is to avoid suspicion, some say that Zhou Yuhan has other plans, and even say that Zhou Yuhan regards his fame as dung.
It is impossible for the old foxes in the Ren Dynasty to guess if they want to break their heads, Zhou Yuhan simply forgot.
Not to mention how Zhou Yuhan secretly annoyed his momentary confusion, it soon came to the day of the township trial list.
The Hou Mansion sent someone to the gate of the Gongyuan to see the list early. To the surprise of the old marquis. Not only An Wensheng was hit, but even An Wenqi, who he was not optimistic about, was hit!
The brothers had a second place and an eighth place. can make the old marquis so beautiful, his chin is about to rise to the sky.
An Wensheng's two brothers had already been sure to win, but they didn't expect the ranking to be so high, and they heard the good news from their subordinates. The brothers were so excited that their eyes were red, especially An Wenqi, who had always been considered to be unproductive. Straight to tears of joy.
The firecrackers of the annunciation were placed at the door of the Hou Mansion, and the whole house was immersed in joy.
However, after learning that the township test solution yuan was Zhou Yongxuan, the old marquis made a straight face and reprimanded everyone who were happy: "It's just a sub-yuan." What's there to be happy about?! Back then, Shiyan was the solution in the middle! ”
Throw up your sleeves and leave.
The crowd who was jubilant a moment ago suddenly felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads, and the lively and joyful atmosphere disappeared by half.
The old lady half-drooped her eyelids. Covering the anger in his eyes, he patted the arms of the two brothers who were discouraged by the words of the old marquis. Comforted softly: "Don't care about your grandfather's words, you are still young, in the eyes of grandmother, it is already great to be able to win, no worse than your fifth uncle." ”
Hearing this, Meng Shi was not happy, her husband was the best, and she did not allow anyone to belittle her.
subconsciously wanted to refute, but before the words could be spoken, An Shiyan swept over with a cold eye, and she immediately shut up in fright and stepped aside aggrievedly.
An Shiyan reluctantly retracted his gaze, and comforted the two brothers: "The fifth uncle only participated in the township test when he was sixteen years old, and it is a coincidence that he can get Xie Yuan, you don't have to be discouraged." ”
An Wensheng and An Wenqi also knew about this, but they were just sad for their grandfather's attitude, and they were relieved to be comforted like this.
Speaking of them, they are also lucky, if Lan'er hadn't asked them to read more "University" and guessed the scope of the exam by mistake, they might not have gotten their current ranking.
Thinking like this, the two quickly perked up.
An Shiting is very satisfied with the results of the two juniors, it can be said that except for the old marquis, there is no one in the Hou Mansion who is dissatisfied, but the old marquis wants to compare with the Zhou Mansion, so he will ask too much.
An Shiting has already heard Murong mention it, knowing that the two brothers can achieve good results, the biggest hero is An Ruolan, now that double happiness is coming, it is the time to be happy, he can't help but say boldly: "Brother Sheng and Brother Qi can achieve such good results, it is thanks to Sister Lan's blessing, in this way, Sister Lan, you can talk about it, what reward do you want, no matter what it is, my father agrees!" ”
An Shiyan has also heard about her daughter's letting her two nephews read "University", and she is both relieved and sad to hear this, no matter how good her daughter is, it is not his.
Even though his heart was dripping blood, he still had to pretend to be light-hearted.
An Ruolan didn't think about asking for any reward, and was about to excuse herself, when Meng Shi smiled and preemptively said, "Uncle, Lan'er doesn't lack anything, don't bother." ”
Next to him, Murong directly darkened his face.
An Shiyan also lowered his face and pulled Meng Shi aside, Meng Shi was confused, and he didn't know what he said wrong.
Facing the apologetic eyes of the fifth brother, An Shiting was embarrassed and annoyed, but in front of everyone, it was not easy to attack.
The atmosphere became solemn, and the juniors all hung their heads silently, not daring to say anything.
Seeing this, Second Master An hurriedly smiled to ease the atmosphere, and changed the topic: "Brother Sheng and Brother Qi won the move together, and Brother Sheng also won the Asian Yuan, this is a great event, let's celebrate it well." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, an announcement came from outside: "Fourth Master Zhong came to congratulate him!" (To be continued)
