Chapter Seventy-Seven: Reception
The first to react was Qiuhua, in the eyes of the men who had circled around for a full two circles, she shrank into the carriage in a panic, grabbed the clothes that had been torn off the belt and wrapped herself, and she pulled down the curtain heavily.
The next to come to her senses was Liu Jing.
She got up from the ground in embarrassment, listening to Qiuhua's faint sobs inside, she seemed dumbfounded.
When Liu Jingmu stood in place, the onlookers began to talk and laugh.
Listening to the sentences around him, "What white and tender flesh." "Yo, how do you settle this account?" "This autumn sister-in-law is miserable." In the midst of these discussions, Liu Wenjing, who was in the wind of Yushu, had a handsome face that was embarrassed and ashamed, so no one noticed the mockery hidden in her slightly drooping eyes: she is the one who opened the silk and satin village, and no one knows where to start to tear her clothes the fastest.
At this time, most of the clothes and silks were unbuttoned, and they were only maintained by the straps, but they did not have Liu Jing's 100 catties of strength to pull, and tear the clothes and silks in front of everyone, so that Liu Hua could expose half of his snow-white arms and neck, which was also a simple matter.
Listening to the laughter and discussion behind her becoming more and more unbearable, Liu Jing was stunned for a while, and suddenly shook her way into the carriage solemnly, and said loudly: "If my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it, Wenjing is willing to be responsible." Gritting her teeth and saying this, she glared at the people around her, and said angrily: "Please be cautious!" ”
Liu Jing didn't say that she was responsible, but as soon as she said she was responsible, Qiuhua inside was even more sad. Yu Wow let out a loud cry, only to hear the carriage Zhongqiu Hua shouting hoarsely: "Go back, let's go back ......" The tone was full of despair.
Qiuhua's rider woke up to this scream. Hurriedly drove the carriage away in a hurry, and the crowd of onlookers. also began to leave in twos and threes. After a long while, the sound of laughter still reached Qiuhua's ears. "It's not easy to calculate this account, it's the father who likes it, but the son agrees to be responsible, and even all of us have seen the cheap ......" "Hehe, just the father and son can marry together." Hearing these discussions, Qiu Hua was even more painful, she covered her mouth with her hands, threw herself on the carriage and cried bitterly.
Liu Jing watched Qiuhua's carriage disappear for a long time before she stepped forward. And among the servants of the Liufu who were shocked by this scene outside. walked out of Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu strode up to Liu Jing, and as he walked, he whispered, "Da Lang, your method is getting more and more ruthless...... Hey, people's sister-in-law, hey. "Outsiders say that Liu Wenjing, the eldest man of the Liu family, is elegant and elegant, but these old servants who followed Liu Jing from birth to death know it.
Hearing Uncle Wu's accusation, Liu Jing said lightly: "She didn't want to be embarrassed...... She doesn't want her own face and the dignity of a woman. I also want to force my father to accept her. I'm just letting her, who is already faceless, no longer be able to threaten my father with the word "deep love". ”
As she spoke, Liu Jing quickened her pace.
After a while, she came to the door of the third uncle's house.
After saying hello to Menzi. Liu Jing drove straight in, and after a while, she saw Liu Xingfeng in the study.
See Liu Jing. A smile appeared on Liu Xingfeng's face. He beckoned: "Wenjing is here, sit down and drink a cup of hot wine to warm up." ”
Liu Jing took the wine cup handed by the maidservant. After bowing to him, he said respectfully, "Listen to my father." Uncle wants me to receive the son of the king of Runan? ”
Liu Xingfeng is more than forty people, with upright facial features and a clean face, compared to Liu Jing's father, he is obviously a few years older, and he also looks ordinary.
Hearing Liu Jing ask this straight to the point, Liu Xingfeng stroked his beard and nodded, "Yes, as far as I know, these two sons of King Runan are the ones who hate the officialdom the most." I think you young people can get together and handle things better. Moreover, the few families from Luoyang are also extravagant and fun-loving masters, and we old men will only bore them when they receive them. ”
Liu Jing said gently: "But Wenjing is a white-bodied ......"
"What is the white body afraid of? You are my nephew. Besides, looking at the whole Runan, which young man has such a demeanor as Wenjing? It is up to you to come forward, so that no one will look down on me Runan. Speaking of this, Liu Xingfeng said with a smile: "When my uncle met with King Runan a few years ago, he always said that you should recruit talents. Uncle felt that Wen Jing was not losing in his actions, and he could go to the officialdom to experience it. ”
Liu Xingfeng walked over to the bookshelf and took out a wooden box from inside. Handing the wooden box to Liu Jing, he encouraged, "Wenjing open it and take a look." ”
Liu Jing took the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box is an official seal. Seeing Liu Jing staring at the official seal in a daze, Liu Xingfeng said: "This is what I asked for from the chief of Lile, you put it away, and you can also take some clothes and the like." Seeing that Liu Jing was about to speak, he opened his mouth to interrupt, "There is no need to excuse this, firstly, this is just the seal of Lile Wei under the command of the chief of Lile, just a petty official, and secondly, you are not officially in office, and taking this is also to prevent the son of the king of Runan from blaming us and others, saying that it is to let Yibai come to receive them." You really don't want to be this official, and it's not too late to resign when you send them away. ”
Having said that, Liu Jing knew that his ability to deal with things in the past few months had been favored by the third uncle, and he wanted to promote his own people, and he wanted the Liu family to take root in this Runan County. As a rare "competitive" person among the younger generations, it is reasonable for him to be promoted.
After thinking about it, Liu Jing just asked: "Dare to ask uncle, I don't know who are the sons of the family who came with the two little county kings?" ”
"I don't know. But it should just be the son of an ordinary family. Liu Xingfeng said in a light tone, "Generally, Lang Jun from a big family will not get too close to the king of the county, so as not to make the Son of Heaven suspicious." ”
In this way, the person who came at least wouldn't be Deng Jiulang? Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and took the official seal.
Seeing her accept it, Liu Xingfeng was very happy, he stroked his long beard and said, "Why don't Wen Jing change into official clothes and go to the back to talk to your third aunt and a few brothers?" ”
Liu Jing saluted him and replied in a clear voice: "Yes." ”
Liu Jing had just exited the study, and Liu Xingfeng instructed again: "Those people don't know when they will arrive, don't go out if you have nothing to do." ”
"Yes."
Liu Jinglang responded. He turned around and walked towards the courtyard where the third aunt lived.
This willow wind has a wife and five concubines. His wife is old and rarely pays attention to the backyard. Only focus on reading and taking grandchildren.
And Liu Xingfeng's several sons-in-law and daughters-in-law are not young anymore, they have already been married, and the rest of them who are not married are all born to concubines.
When Liu Jing walked towards the backyard, the maidservants in the house hid behind the trees one by one, blushing and quietly looking at her.
Just as Liu Jing walked gracefully on the boulevard that had been frozen into silver branches, suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from behind.
In the blink of an eye. A servant who was still standing outside Liu Xingfeng's study just now caught up with her. After saluting Liu Jing, the servant said, "Fifteen Lang, my lord told you to hurry over." "The name of this fifteen lang is from the entire Liu family.
Liu Jing nodded, turned around and followed the servant.
As soon as she came to the outside of the study, Liu Jing saw that there were still two people standing in the study. Seeing Liu Jing coming, Liu Xingfeng said solemnly: "I got the news just now that several nobles have arrived in Runan. I'll be here in the afternoon. His expression was a little solemn, "It's freezing this day, and the person who reported the news can't speak clearly, the old man thought that it would take some time for them to come." I didn't expect it to be in such a hurry. ”
After a pause, he looked at Liu Jing and said seriously, "Wenjing." You have always been thoughtful and meticulous, and those Lang Jun are all daughters. Rushing over in such a cold and snowy place, there must be a lot of discomfort. You go ahead and make arrangements. Make sure they feel comfortable. ”
Liu Jing replied in a clear voice: "Yes." ”
Liu Xingfeng turned to the other two again, "You are all old people from Runan, and you have always been good at this reception, this time, outside the Wenjing Lord, you must satisfy those nobles." ”
"Yes."
"Okay, okay, let's get busy."
"Yes."
Seeing the three of them retreat, Liu Xingfeng frowned, in fact, this kind of thing was not within the scope of his duties, he asked for it from his colleagues in order to cultivate Liu Jing. Originally, he thought that there would be a two-month preparation time, but he didn't expect those people to come so quickly.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xingfeng was still not at ease, he wanted to train Liu Wenjing out, but now the time is too tight, and he has to find a stable person.
Just when Liu Xingfeng was looking for someone and doing it himself, and hurriedly made the preparations, Liu Jing also left. She sat in the carriage and rushed out of the city to meet the children from Luoyang.
Of course, due to Liu Jing's lack of training, there are more than a dozen officials traveling with her. Liu Xingfeng, who originally wanted her to support the beam, could only let her accompany her as a small official this time.
Although the snow fell heavily, it was sunny for more than ten days a while ago, and there was no ice on the ground. The carriage was in Gezhi Gezhi, and in a short time it swept out of the city gate.
When everyone stopped at the long pavilion ten miles away from the city gate, a team also appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The procession was huge, carriage after carriage, and it looked like there were hundreds of people.
Liu Jing didn't expect that it would be such a big momentum to receive six or seven powerful sons. Shocked, she was also glad that she was just accompanying her as a sidekick this time.
The line was getting closer, closer and closer.
When they walked only twenty steps away from everyone, all the Runans bowed down to greet each other. And at this time, the team also stopped.
As the carriages stopped, from the carriages in front, two fat, round-faced, smiling, and similar-looking youths jumped out.
Seeing the two young men get out of the carriage and stand beside Liu Jing, an official said in a low voice: "These are the two little county kings." As soon as he mentioned his steps, he took Liu Jing and others to greet him.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the two little county kings not only did not walk towards them, but turned around at the same time. And as soon as they turned around, the people who followed them also turned around, so dozens of people walked towards a carriage behind them in such a mighty way.
Walking to the carriage, the two little county kings bowed their hands to the inside, and said respectfully: "Brother Deng, the carriage has been suffocated for so long, let's go out for a walk." ”
When the two little county kings spoke, the sons of the family in the other carriages also walked down, and as soon as they moved, their guards and servants stepped forward at the same time, and stood in a strict line behind the guards of the two little county kings.
In the silence, the curtain of the carriage in the middle of the crowd shook, and then, a deep and graceful man's voice came softly, "Okay." ”
The words fell, and before the guards and servants on one side could make a move, the two little county kings had already stepped forward respectfully and opened the curtain for the man.
In the snow, a handsome young man wearing a golden crown and a noble spirit slowly stepped out of the carriage.
Almost as soon as this man appeared, the people around him naturally lowered their heads. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
