Chapter 42: Joints
& The princess returned after a long time in Liu's mansion, and when she came, it set off a heated discussion in Lin'an City, and most people thought that this was the sage's consolation to the envoy, and an edict a few days later further confirmed this conjecture. 『』『』
"E: Humble and courteous, dignified and elegant, must be idle and lazy, and be petted. Let Ye's, and Hui Jizhong, Roujia Chengde. Be cautious and measured, and be self-reliant. It is advisable to enter from the Jinzhi and praise it with a show. The promotion order is in the Lan boudoir, and Xi Enrong is in the Yun inspection. Hertz is clear, and he is pious, but he can. ”
"Concubine Ye's order is grateful."
Jing Niang, who was dressed in a formal suit, listened expressionlessly, and made a formal salute, making it impossible to find fault with the rules, and the Huang Nei servant who came to deliver the decree sighed secretly, and put the edict inlaid with red cloud brocade on a plate on the table, which presented a full set of crown clothes of the four rank Shuo people, which means that now Jing Niang and his husband have been promoted to the fourth grade.
It stands to reason that this is not a seal, it is just a regular promotion of the wife according to the husband's honor, but the special order of the chamberlain to come to pass the decree, coupled with the ensuing rewards, all reflect a trace of particularity.
"Congratulations, bah, look at our mouth, it should be a Shuo person now. But we still have to say, this is a special grace, and if you thank you, it's better to go into the palace and say to the saint by yourself, isn't this the reason? ”
"One qiē, but arranged by a big bell."
"Then our family will trespass", it is set for tomorrow, and the lords of each palace have been saved in the morning, so there is no need to wait, so good? ”
"Thank you for the trouble."
Jing Niang still gave a smile to the kindness of Huang Nei's servant, and ordered the housekeeper to send people out of the house with the usual silver, as for those rewards, he casually ordered people to put them away without looking at them. In her mind, there is no point in making people look good, and her husband still wants to earn her a "lady", but if you want to separate for this, it is better not to be good.
"I've been waiting for a long time, and someone has come to the palace, so I have to deal with it."
In the wing room in the front yard, in addition to Yinghong, Jin Ming's lady Tu Shi was impressively present, she came earlier than Huang Nei, but because she had to receive the edict, she could only wait here for a while. At the same time, he also refused to go to the backyard, and when Jing Niang came in, the two were talking, and when they saw her, they both stood up.
"It's okay, the eldest lady has something to do, just be busy." For this noble daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Tu family, who was from a mediocre background, has a natural sense of awe, which is also due to the fact that Jin Ming is a martial artist, and most of the people in contact with the circle are of the same kind and do not deal with the powerful very much.
If you want to talk about the grade, Tu's is still above Jing Niang, but it was she who seemed restrained when she came to the door for the first time, and people called herself "brother and sister", but she didn't dare to call herself sister-in-law, and she completely lost the coolness of her daily life.
"Sister-in-law's words make Jing Niang so ashamed, since entering Beijing, there has been no opportunity to go to the house to visit, but to ask the sister-in-law to come to the door in person, first make a compensation here, sister-in-law see that Jing Niang is young, don't take it to heart." After speaking, he bowed his head.
"How could it be" Tu Shi didn't prevent her from doing this, she was at a loss for a while, and she was a little hesitant to help, and as soon as her hand was stretched out, she was grasped by Jing Niang.
"If my sister-in-law doesn't give birth, just call her the name of Jing Niang, or the thirteenth sister, okay?"
The three women in the house have a common characteristic, the men in the house have gone to distant places, so it is easy for Jing Niang to find a common topic, and under her conscious guidance, the more she chats, the more speculative she becomes, which makes Tu relax a lot.
"This Jiang Zhaofu is not here, Brother Ning doesn't know where he went, I got the news, I thought about coming to the house to see, brother and sister have any way to think about it, send someone to inform them, and be prepared."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, talk slowly, what is the bottom situation."
It turned out that Tu's arrival was to get a news, Jiang was impeached, there are several charges against him, the most powerful of which is to harbor a woman, it is said that even the bitter lord handed the complaint to Lin'an Mansion, but the others looked at Yan zhòng, in fact, it is nothing, because it is easy to argue.
Although she ignores foreign affairs, Jing Niang also knows that Jiang is the person that her husband values very much, who is behind such an attack? She can roughly guess a few points, not to mention the relationship between the two families, Jiang Cai's current position is very important, which her husband has repeatedly emphasized, she thought about it, and beckoned a maid to come over.
"Go to the housekeeper in the mansion and ask him to inquire if the person who handed over the letter to Lin'an Mansion is still in the city? Where they came from, where they lived, and who the woman belonged to his family, they had to find out. ”
This kind of thing naturally has to be done by men, and before there is no real news, Jing Niang doesn't know how to deal with it, but now that she knows, the most unfortunate saint can still speak in front of her, she roughly calculated the possible help, and she already has some bottom in her heart.
"Ah, this is the sea?"
Ninghai Prefecture under the rule of the Yuan people, originally belonged to Dengzhou, until the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty was singled out, under the jurisdiction of only Muping, Wendeng two counties, located in the forefront of the Shandong Peninsula in the later generations, the state was governed in Muping County, not far from the sea.
The pheasant slave is not enough, Yue'e, who has never seen the sea, suddenly saw such a vast water surface, and she couldn't see the edge at a glance, and she couldn't help but be excited in surprise. The two of them started from Jinan Mansion and arrived here via Yidu and Jiaolai, and along the way they passed through the core area of the heavy defense of the Tartars, which could be unimpeded, and not only rely on the signboard of the Xie family.
After the turmoil that year, the Yuan people naturally carried out a purge and iron-fisted rule here, but no matter how it is, it is impossible to change all the people, and there are still a large number of old personnel in the middle and lower classes from the state and county to the city defense, so with Zheng Deyan, an old horse who knows the way, he will find a Yazhong Xu official, and he will meet a marching hundred households, all of them are shouting one by one Uncle Zheng, and the two little women are admiring and a little puzzled, aren't they afraid that they will sue the official?
"You know what? The old man is not surnamed Li. ”
Zheng Deyan gave a woman a disdainful look with long hair and short knowledge, and vaguely explained the reason, and the pheasant slave immediately reacted, the old man is a family of four ladies, and he has little to do with the Li family, but he is afraid that he is no longer on the wanted list of Tartars.
The harvest along the way is not only this, they found that the states and counties that were originally heavily defended are a little empty, and a large number of hundreds and thousands of households have been transferred to the south, gathered on the front line of Andong and Lianshui, and there are many unfamiliar faces in the barracks, I heard that they are foreign troops transferred from Dadu, and there are even aliens such as Jurchen and Goryeo.
Thinking of the news provided by Li Shiyi before, the intention of the Yuan people is obvious, those original garrisons are mixed with a large number of Li people, and after more than ten years, they still don't let the rulers rest assured, because this place is too close to Dadu, and now there is a good reason for them to go and consume with the Song people, which is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
At present, I can't take care of that end for the time being, the purpose of the second daughter's trip is Ninghai Prefecture, according to Liu Yu's instructions, a trading house will be opened here as a cover for action, so as to infiltrate the top counties of the two peninsulas, which all need Zheng Deyan's help.
At this moment, the two women came to the beach not out of a whim, everything in Muping County was unfolding in an orderly manner, and the old man Zheng didn't know which local wealthy businessman was invited as a guest in order to pave the way for the opening of the firm, and the second daughter had her own tasks.
The pheasant slave is still dressed in a man's attire, watching Sister Yue happily walking on the beach, but she is a little absent-minded, the old dog and a few other guards have already held all sides, the coastline in this area is very tortuous, there are some small islands not far from overseas, it is a good fishing ground, but there are no fishermen.
"I heard from the locals that a group of pirates has risen on the sea recently, extremely brutal, not only robbing ships but also plundering people, it is useless to ransom with silver money, and there is no way to go back, the Yuan people have no choice, and they have implemented a sea ban in this area, and the nearby villagers have moved into the mainland."
The news that the old dog inquired about should be accurate, but the pheasant slave is not much interested in this, although the Yuan people are hateful, those pirates who kill people and goods are also damned, and there is a person she knows on the sea, but she doesn't know where it is now.
"Big boss, in front of you is Hengshanjiao, where is Wendeng County of Tartar, turn around and follow the coast, and you can reach Liujia Island in about half an hour."
A subordinate pointed to the sea, the marking of this area is relatively reliable, the approximate location is not wrong, from here used to be a small bay, there is a small island in the bay, the local name is "Liujia Island", and in later generations it is called "Liugong Island", has become a famous historical site and tourist attraction.
"Big boss, your subordinates still say the same, you will take your brothers to wait on the island for a while, and your subordinates will go to the land for a walk, after all, it is the territory of the Tartars, it is better to be careful."
"What are you talking about? Got in touch with the microphone, didn't you hear it, the Tartars don't have many defenders here, even if they recognize me, don't be afraid, how long have the brothers not been on land? Everyone said no, do you want to go? ”
Jiang Ning waved his hand, and everyone on the boat agreed loudly, seeing such a situation, the subordinate could only helplessly stop persuading, this time only a small sea boat came, or it was captured not long ago, and it came to the enemy area with such a swagger, no matter how you say it, there will be some worries.
The speed of the boat is very fast, the sea conditions in this area are relatively stable, after entering the bay, Jiang Ning did not stop at Liujia Island, but directly ordered to go around, floating on the sea for so long, he wanted to go to land too much, this is the natural psychology of every person who goes to sea, and has nothing to do with other factors.
"It seems that there are a few people, are they here to answer? Subordinates want to turn on the microphone, big boss, big boss? ”
After calling a few times and not responding, his subordinates turned their heads in surprise to see that the big boss was holding a clairglass and observing the shore intently, I don't know what he saw, the rock-solid hands were trembling slightly, and his subordinates rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and found that there was a trace of excitement on his face, and he no longer regained his cold appearance.
"Lower the sails, lower the anchor, put the boat, quick!"
After a while, Jiang Ning woke up like from a dream, and gave instructions one after another, if it weren't for the presence of so many subordinates, he would have wanted to jump into the sea and swim over, and now he didn't want to wait even for a moment, because the person in his heart was on the other side.
