After Yu Wenxian came back from the official warehouse and the porridge shed, he felt more and more that the situation in Jingzhou was serious, and tomorrow he had to mobilize those rich merchants who had grain and rice to provide grain to solve the current crisis, otherwise the chaos in Jiangling City would be overnight.

In any case, Jingzhou must not be in chaos in its own hands, otherwise, the prestige it has accumulated over the years in the foreign frontier will also be wiped out...... Although his heart was on fire, Yu Wenxian still got up the next morning unhurriedly and freshened up, and quietly read the backlog of official documents in the study for more than two hours.

The study in the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion is now quiet, but in the hall near the courtyard in front of the study, it is now a little lively, with figures coming in and out, greetings and salutes. Fortunately, this is the Jingzhou Thorn History Mansion, which is a solemn place, no matter who comes, no matter if you have a lot of money or only eight buckets high, as long as you arrive at the gate of the Thorn History Mansion, you will see the pair of mighty stone lions and the solemn vermilion lacquer gate in front of the door, you must be restrained.

"Da-da-" At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the bluestone street in front of the Thorn Mansion. When they walked to the door, after the three of them dismounted, the servants of the Assassin Mansion had already greeted them, and the two officers led the horses over. The three of them were all dressed as Confucian students in white clothes, and the first one took out the invitation card from his bosom and handed it to a small official. The little official took it with both hands, and then said respectfully: "It's the gentlemen from Mingde College who are here, please come inside!" ”

"Good!" After the Confucian scholar at the head finished politely, he wanted to go in with the two junior disciples, and just went up the two steps, he heard a "rumbling" sound of wheels, and when he looked back, a carriage with a red curtain canopy and tassels scattered around the canopy was almost at the gate of the Thorn Mansion.

"Senior Brother Ji, it's the carriage of the Hunan embroidery girl." One of the academy people said.

It was none other than Ji Xin, the senior brother of Mingde Academy, who conspired with General Song Ting in Mingtai Temple outside the city that day to get food for the victims. Ji Xin saw that it was indeed the car of the Xiangxiu girl, so he stopped and waited there for the carriage to stop.

I saw that the embroidered red curtain in front of the car was lifted, and a slender figure leaned out of the car, Ji Xin and others did not carefully look at the beautiful face of Xiang Xiu out of courtesy, but were attracted by the colorful and colorful clothes on her body. I saw the dress with a big red background on the beauty, whether it is the skirt or the cuffs, the petals are distinct, the colors are dazzling, the embroidered peanuts are fragrant, the birds fall on the twigs, the claws and beaks can be seen, the embroidered birds can listen to the sound, it can really be said to be both form and spirit, and a work of heaven!

"I've seen the Hunan embroidery girl!" Ji Xin and others gave a salute.

"It turned out to be the three senior apprentices of Mr. Pang of Mingde Academy, and the little girl is polite." Xiangxiu bowed her knees, and then raised her eyes to look at Ji Xin, although there was a hint of admiration between her eyebrows, but her eyes were full of autumn water, and her smile was like a flower, and she looked at Ji Xin fixedly.

Seeing the Xiangxiu girl so distracted, the two junior disciples behind Ji Xin couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile. And the maid behind Xiangxiu also gently pulled her arm and shouted, "Girl-"

Xiangxiu seemed to be a little embarrassed when she was made such a fuss, a trace of red clouds floated on her beautiful cheeks, and she turned to the maid and scolded: "What are you messing around? I'll clean you up when I go back. After speaking, he turned his face to Ji Xin and said, "Is Ji Gongzi also invited?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Academy Mengqi Guogong invited, and the teacher specially sent Zai Xia and his junior brother to make an appointment on behalf of the Academy." Ji Xin replied unhurriedly.

"It seems that our purpose is the same, but I don't know if today's banquet can bring anything to the people of Jingzhou?" Xiang embroidery seems to be talking to itself.

"Before leaving, the family teacher said that we should put the livelihood of the people first, and I think the Xiangxiu girl should wait with me." Ji Xin said loudly.

"A female streamer, I don't know any big truths, but Mr. Pang is the most knowledgeable, listen to his old man must be right, three sons, let's please." Xiangxiu can be regarded as reaching an agreement with Ji Xin and others.

"Good! Girl please. Ji Xin stretched out his hand and asked Xiangxiu to go first, and he and the other two junior disciples followed, and they went to the hall where Yu Wenxian was entertaining.

As soon as a few people came to the door of the hall, the hall that was a little noisy just now seemed to become quiet. The people in the hall are either rich or expensive, and there is no shortage of people who have been in the world for a long time, but they still have to take a look at it intentionally or unintentionally. Xiangxiu seemed to be accustomed to this kind of attention, and walked straight to an empty table in the middle without seeing it, and invited Ji Xin and the others to sit down.

After watching Xiangxiu and the others sit down, the hall seemed to have resumed the noise just now, but it was obviously much quieter than just now...... Just when everyone was sipping tea and chatting, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "Hou Mao of Ji Anhou has arrived!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly half of the people in the hall stood up. After a while, two people appeared at the door, a five-short figure, big belly, beard, squinting eyes, but with a crown and a robe on his body, and green clouds and black boots on his feet. The person behind him was full of shrewdness, especially his eyes flashed, dressed in coarse cloth green clothes, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet.

Before the two of them entered the door, a large group of people greeted them: "Master Hou is well!" Master Hou, you're here! I haven't seen you for a long time! ......" and other voices, cordial voices, and flattery.

The person who came was Ji Anhou Mao'an, and after Mao An smiled and gave up his hands to deal with it, he squinted his eyes and swept around the hall, and then stopped his gaze on Xiangxiu's body. At this time, while dealing with everyone, he moved to the front of Xiang Xiu, smiled and asked: "Xiang Xiu girl is also here, I haven't seen it for a long time, I miss it very much, how is the girl recently?" ”

Seeing Mao An coming, Xiang Xiu pressed down the disgust in her heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you for greetings from Hou Ye, and greet Hou Ye." ”

"Xiangxiu girl doesn't have to be polite, everyone is a townsfolk in Jiangling City, hahahaha......" Mao An laughed, and then deliberately came to Xiangxiu's side, carefully observing the clothes on Xiangxiu's body, a pair of eyes no longer squinted, now it is dripping around, while looking at it and exclaiming: "Oh, this Xiangxiu craftsmanship is really a fairy craft, the clothes made are getting more and more beautiful." ”

Xiangxiu saw that this person was very rude, so he forcibly turned to the side and said, "Master Hou has won the award." ”

"Ahh

"The Hunan embroidery girl is so talented, and with this heavenly embroidery, I don't know if the word color art is appropriate or not." At this time, the man in the coarse cloth green clothes next to Mao An saw the embarrassment and immediately came out to speak.

"Boss Xue, the words are appropriate or inappropriate, of course you have to ask all the talents of Mingde Academy, do you still want to ask a talented and virtuous female stream like me?" Xiang Xiu led the conversation to Ji Xin.

"The scholars of the academy are also here, and I am glad to meet them." Boss Xue asked Ji Xin and the others.

Ji Xin and the others just returned the salute, and before they could speak, Mao An interjected: "Mr. Pang hasn't come out for almost ten years, and now the big and small affairs of the academy are all in charge of you, Master Ji, it seems that Mr. Pang and the elders of the academy are going to prepare to hand over the academy to you?" ”

"Thank you Hou Ye for caring about the family teacher, the disciples and others just follow the teachings of the saints and act according to the teachings of the teacher, how dare they make their own opinions, but in recent years, the family teacher is old and his energy is not as good as before, so the disciples and others show up." Ji Xin replied calmly.

"Then I don't know what Mr. Pang has to say about today's events?" Mao An asked.

"When the disciple came, he was taught by the family teacher, so that we put the livelihood of the people first, and the disciples strictly obeyed the teacher's orders and did not dare to disobey." Ji Xin replied truthfully.

"Good! Good! Mr. Pang is highly respected, and I am full of admiration - Boss Xue, let's sit down. Mao An didn't say anything more, so he asked Boss Xue to sit down at a table next to him and wait......

After a while, there was a voice in the back hall: "His Royal Highness the Duke of Qi has arrived-" Everyone in the hall immediately stood up solemnly and looked in the direction of the back hall - only to see a young prince with a lofty spirit and a rich spirit like jade coming out of the back hall, followed by Zhang Hu, the secret envoy of Wuyutai, the supervisor Shi Cui Liang, the chief Shi Wu Ze, and the deputy general Song Ting. After Yu Wenxian came to the middle of the hall and stood in front of the upper seat, Cui Liang and the others stood below, and then knelt down and saluted with a group of guests in the hall, shouting in their mouths: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Duke of Qi——"

"Fathers and brothers in Jingzhou, please get up, you don't have to be formal." Yu Wenxian spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Your Highness Xie—"

"Sit down, everybody." Yu Wenxian said politely, but there was an irreversible majesty in his words, and then he sat down first.

Seeing Qi Guogong sit down, the talents below slowly sat down one after another. Qi Guogong took a sip of the tea on the desk, put down the teacup, and said enthusiastically: "Today, I took the liberty of inviting you to the Assassin's Mansion, and Xian, as the master, bothered you. Xian was ordered by the Holy Order, received the emperor's grace, and patrolled to Jingzhou on behalf of the sky, which is really the blessing of Xian. Jingzhou is one of the important granaries and money banks of my Great Zhou, His Majesty and Tsukasa are concerned about the fathers and elders here day and night, how can Your Majesty take care of every opportunity, Tsukasa Zai is entangled in state affairs, and he can't come in person, so he has to let my younger brother come over, and visit on behalf of me, smelling the floods in Jingzhou, His Majesty sighs all night, and is afraid that the people of Li will suffer. Tsukasa Zai also hurriedly called people to raise money and raise food, so as not to starve the people, hundreds of millions of Li people, the people of the world, are His Majesty's people, watching the people of Jingzhou suffer from hunger and cold, Your Majesty and Tsukazai feel the same way! ”

When the people below heard this, they immediately got up and bowed their hands and praised: "Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, and you are blessed with the world, and you will do your best." The merit lies in the community. ”
