154: The Wind of Righteousness
After the young man approached, An Shi could see clearly, wasn't this Qiu Chiwen who the prince was waiting for? He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly led the person in.
When Xu Jince saw Qiu Chiwen, he was stunned for a moment, after all, his outfit looked a little ...... It's a bit ingenious. Qiu Chiwen didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he saluted Xu Jince and said respectfully: "Minister, Qiu Chiwen pays a visit to the prince." ”
Xu Jince nodded and said, "Excuse me." ”
The little boy beside Qiu Chiwen also saluted respectfully. Xu Jince raised his eyebrows, looking like he was waiting for Qiu Chiwen to explain.
Qiu Chiwen sneered, and his tone was a little embarrassed: "This is the son of your subordinates." ”
"Oh?" Xu Jince smiled, "Seeing that you are about the same age as me, and you are so engrossed in business that I think you have never married a wife." ”
Qiu Chiwen smiled and said very gently: "Your Majesty doesn't dare to compare with the prince. ”
Xu Jince felt that he was suspected of squeezing him if he said this. Seeing him carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, he asked, "What is your basket in?" ”
Qiu Chiwen opened it, and Xu Jince saw that it was a grain seed. Before the two adults could speak, Qiu Chiwen's son hurriedly said, "This is what my father bought from the market, and he said that he wanted to plant it in the yard behind the yamen." ”
Qiu Chiwen didn't think he was interjecting, only rubbed his head, and said to him softly: "Bao'er goes to play in the yard, Daddy has something important to say to Shizi." ”
Bao'er didn't go out, looking at the parrot in Nalan Jinxiu's hand. Nalan Jinxiu smiled at him, walked up to him with the parrot in his arms, and bowed his head: "Do you want to go to the yard with me?"
Bao'er nodded, and happily wanted to go with Nalan Jinxiu. Xu Jince said to Nalan Jinxiu: "This is Qiu Chi Wenqiu County Cheng. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded at Qiu Chiwen, even if it was a greeting. Qiu Chiwen respectfully replied and said lightly: "Meet the county lord." ”
Nalan Jinxiu took a closer look at him, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, with a slender body, and a bit of the elegance of a scholar. Qiu Chiwen, this person is quite smart, before his brother introduced her, he guessed her identity.
"I'll take Bao'er out to play. Nalan Jinxiu said to Xu Jince, but the person had already gone out.
Xu Jince subconsciously felt that his sister would definitely be able to play with Bao'er, and shook his head helplessly: "My sister grew up in my grandparents' house since she was a child, and she only returned to me not long ago. ”
Qiu Chiwen glanced at the big and small ones in the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile: "The county lord has a kind temperament and is innocent, don't deliberately restrain her, just let it grow naturally." ”
"Naturally, I was reluctant to restrain her. By the way, what is the purpose of bringing the seed with you today?"
"There is always a war in Pingcheng, and the food supply is not available. I stumbled upon the fact that the growth period of this seed is very short, and I was going to try it out on the open space behind the county office. ”
"You can try. Where did this come from?"
Qiu Chiwen lowered his voice and whispered, "I bought it from the black market." ”
Xu Jince glanced at him meaningfully, he still smiled gently, and only said, "It's from Nanchu." This kind of seed is extremely rare, and Southern Chu has just begun, and it has not yet been planted on a large scale, so we can't leave behind in Northern Xinjiang. ”
"How many do you have?"
"Not much, Nan Chu is personally taken over by the royal family, and it is not easy to get some of it, and it is also a lot of effort to do this. ”
Xu Jince nodded: "I want you to be the commander of Pingcheng County, I don't know if you are willing?"
Qiu Chiwen didn't shirk either, and said directly: "I will do my best." ”
"Hutong Cheng has brought the atmosphere of Pingcheng badly, how to rectify it, you just let it go. If you are struggling, I will send you troops. ”
Qiu Chiwen shook his hand with a smile: "It's not necessary, it's just to deal with some people who are trying to get power, as long as the guards of Pingcheng are used well, it's enough." ”
"What? You don't think you can control them?"
"They are all controlled by Cui Xiancheng now, and I still need a son to help me. ”
"If you need to, just say that the people who investigated Hu Tongcheng are still in Pingcheng, so it's convenient to make a move. ”
"Then your majesty will thank the son. ”
After Qiu Chiwen said goodbye, Nalan Jinxiu saw the bamboo basket placed on the table. Secretly admired my brother's vision for seeing people, the people take food as the sky, and no matter when, food is the only guarantee of rule. Qiu Chiwen knows it well, and he will definitely be able to achieve something great in the future, Pingcheng, it seems that he is going to change his appearance.
On the day he left Heijo, many people came to see him off. Because the road was not cleared, both sides of the official road were crowded with people, all to see the style of the world. Nalan Jinxiu looked at Xu Jince from the carriage, calmly and indifferently accepting everyone's gaze, looking like both the sven of a literati and the neatness of a military general.
Maybe many people don't know that it is such a calm prince who only bloodied the Hutong Chengyi Party a few days ago, and personally beheaded six party members involved in the case, and exiled many soldiers. In fact, it was only a few days of hard work, but Heicheng really changed. I hope that in the future, it will be as my brother wishes, and it will be clear.
The way back was not fast, and Xu Jince took Nalan Jinxiu to enjoy the scenery of northern Xinjiang along the way. Nalan Jinxiu finally discovered that the beauty of northern Xinjiang is natural and vast. Compared with the delicacy of Jinling City, this also has a unique charm.
Xu Jince found a little marre for her, small and docile. Usually Mu Li helps her take care of it, and only when she reaches the plains can she ride and run. After exercising along the way, her horseback riding skills have indeed improved a lot. In fact, she could have ridden better, but Xu Jince was worried that the wind would blow her too much, so she had to stay in the carriage most of the time.
When he returned to the Zhenbei Palace, Nalan Jinxiu had an illusion that he was in a different world. Obviously, she has only been away for more than a month, but she has experienced so many things, especially her and Mu Li, who tried poison and almost threw their lives in Fuhe Village. As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw Zhenbei Wang and Shen Congqian standing at the door, the two of them were standing side by side, not far or close, looking from a distance, it was quite a match.
"Sheng'er, come to Daddy. King Zhenbei beckoned to his daughter.
Nalan Jinxiu trotted over, stood beside his father, smiled like a flower, and raised his head and called: "Daddy." ”
"Everything you did in Fuhe Village, Daddy knows. You behaved very well, Daddy was proud, and those uncles and uncles of yours did not fail to appreciate it when they heard this. ”
Nalan Jinxiu raised his head and said with some pride: "What's so strange about this, compared to my brother who led troops to win the battle at a young age, and compared to my father's protection of the people and the defense of the territory, it is still far behind." ”
King Zhenbei patted the top of her hair and said with a sharp smile: "This is the backbone of our Zhenbei Palace! ”
Nalan Jinxiu felt that he was talking about a child, smiled, and said to King Zhenbei: "Daddy, I am riding a horse very well now, much better than the last time you saw him." ”
"Oh, then I'd like to see, have a good rest today, and take you to the horse farm tomorrow. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded and said with a smile: "If it weren't for my brother stopping me along the way, I would definitely be able to ride better." ”
"What? He's stopping you?"
"Well, he said that it was windy these days, and he was afraid that it would blow my face. ”
Xu Jince also came to the two of them, looked at his father with a smile, and complained: "She is still the same as when she was a child, as if she can't play enough, if she doesn't pay attention to it, she will go out to have fun." ”
King Zhenbei took two steps back, looked at Nalan Jinxiu carefully, and smiled again: "No wonder your brother wants to take care of you, the time you came back was darker than when you were in Jinling." ”
Nalan Jinxiu touched her face, because of proper maintenance, her skin was still delicate and tender. However, the climate in northern Xinjiang is indeed not as fostered as Jinling, and it is normal for her to be a little darker. Moreover, she felt that if she could change her skin tone to wheat, she would look better. It should look a little healthier than it does now, not as delicate as it does now.
"Black is black! Anyway, I'm naturally beautiful, and I look good no matter what. ”
Xu Jince looked at his sister with a smile in his eyes, and the king of Zhenbei laughed out loud and said, "That's natural, you are my daughter." ”
Shen Congli waited beside her for a long time, and saw that their family of three was intimate, and she never had the opportunity to speak. Finally having time, she hurriedly stepped forward and took Nalan Jinxiu's hand, and said with a smile: "I've been bored these days, but I can be regarded as looking forward to you back." ”
Nalan Jinxiu saw that she looked very good, and she thought that the baby in her belly was also very healthy. just exchanged a few words with her, and she still had a lot of pity in her heart for this woman who married away from home. In addition, she is also from Jinling, which can always make them closer.
Xu Jince didn't know what was going on, he just thought that his sister and stepmother got along quite well. He was worried that they would not get along, for fear that his stepmother would make Sheng'er feel wronged. He now finds that his sister has grown up and can handle many things by herself, and he does not need to protect him all the time. In this way, he was relieved.
The father and son of Zhenbei Wang have not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have a lot to say. In particular, the incident of Hu Tongcheng caused quite a stir in northern Xinjiang. As a result, many local officials in northern Xinjiang are in danger. Xu Jince caught them off guard this time, and most people would be afraid when they heard such a resolute and resolute method.
But if it's honest and honest, there's nothing to worry about. Qiu Chiwen's background is not high, and among the many counties in Pingcheng, he is the one with the least sense of existence. However, his reputation is indeed very good, but those who have come into contact with him have a fair and honest evaluation of him. After this incident of Pingcheng, the unhealthy trends in northern Xinjiang should be subdued a lot.
