Chapter 116: Xie Da Lao Coarse
The second prince got the errand of relief as he wished, and the next day he received the sword of the Son of Heaven on the Jinluan Palace, and inspected Shandong on behalf of the Son of Heaven to appease and give relief to the victims.
At the same time, the imperial court's appointment of Jia Baoyu also went down to the Rongguo Mansion.
Temporarily led the Metropolitan Procuratorate to patrol the imperial history, and also led the deputy envoy to protect the grain, and inspected Shandong with the relief Qin, observed the disaster, compiled a concert, and returned to the court to play.
It may sound like a lot of responsibility, but in fact it's just an "intern" who learns with him and then goes back to deliver his report.
Of course, not everyone has such internship opportunities.
Except for him, only Ye Hao received the same errand as him.
Both of them are relatives of the emperor and the country, and they were facilitated by the Taishi.
Despite this, everyone in Jiafu was surprised when they heard that Jia Baoyu was leaving Beijing and was still on a mission out of Beijing with Qin!
Gainjia Baoyu hadn't revealed any news before, and when they suddenly heard about it, how could they not worry?
Jia Zheng is okay, he knows some of Jia Baoyu's performance in the upper study and Taishifu, which is not particularly surprising.
But Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's performance was out of shape, and they were about to ask Jia Zheng to go to the court to shirk the errand.
After being told by Jia Zheng that this was the emperor's order and could not be shirked, he had the idea of asking Jia Baoyu to pretend to be sick
Jia Baoyu was also helpless, and after spending a lot of effort, saying all the good things and predicting that all the results would be good, he reluctantly persuaded him.
Then he knew what it had been like for a loving mother to have many defeated children since ancient times.
I don't want to let him take any risks, but
Fortunately, I didn't tell them about it before, otherwise this trip to Ye Qiong's carefully arranged training opportunity would have to be ruined for them.
Needless to say, all in all, Mrs. Jia Muwang and others reluctantly agreed to let Jia Baoyu go out of Beijing.
Naturally, all kinds of advice and explanations are inevitable, and Jia Baoyu has repeatedly promised that he will definitely come back, and Jia Mu and the others have a slight smile on their faces, so that Jia Baoyu can go back and rest early.
Bao Chai followed Jia Baoyu out of Rongqing Hall, and suddenly said: "This is the first time that Brother Bao is on a serious errand, and he has to stay away from the capital, everything, we have to be careful, don't let us worry about the elders in the family." ”
Jia Baoyu raised his head, and under the light, under Baochai's delicate and beautiful face, he was upright. It's just that Jia Baoyu still saw a touch of concern and worry in her eyes.
Jia Baoyu's heart suddenly warmed, and said, "I know, Sister Bao." ”
"Hmm." Baochai nodded, didn't say anything more, bowed slightly, and then turned around and went to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.
It was getting late, her mother was still in Madame Wang's courtyard, and she needed to go back with her.
"Go back too."
After Baochai left, Jia Baoyu said to Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, who were also looking at him with the same concern.
The three of them each answered, said a simple word of concern, and then went back to the house.
A lot of superfluous words have been said before, so there is no need to repeat them at this time.
Nothing was said all night.
When he got up early the second morning, Jia Baoyu dressed up, put on official robes, and then left Jiang Yunxuan in the tearful and reluctant eyes of the maids.
Because the hour was very early, Jia Baoyu didn't want to seduce the tears of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, so he only asked the maids to report on his behalf and set off on horseback.
Jia Baoyu and Ye Hao agreed to get together outside the Ye Mansion, and then went to the outside of the Tai Warehouse together.
Taicang is the treasury of the state treasury in the capital, which is mainly divided into granaries and money warehouses.
In this relief in Shandong, the imperial court planned to transfer 8,000 stone of grain from Taicang, and the rest of the grain would be raised by the local governments and state officials after the relief was sent to the local government.
Jia Baoyu and Ye Hao were responsible for being the deputies of the grain officer who escorted the 8,000 stone grain.
The grain officer is a member of the household department, surnamed Wang Mingzhen.
He was not tall, had a thin face, and was a very calm old man.
For Jia Baoyu and the others, he didn't deliberately make things difficult, but he didn't arrange tasks for the two nominal deputy dolls, just asked them to watch from the side.
"Hey, Jia Xiaowazi!"
Jia Baoyu, who was standing with Ye Qiong to watch how Wang Zhen placed the personnel and how to arrange the bearer to carry the grain to the carriage, immediately frowned when he heard this.
In his impression, it seems that only a few old immortals who are friends with Rongguofu and Jia Baoyu secretly called him a "family of soldiers and bandits" have called him so.
Looking back, it's not exactly.
A military general with five big and three thick, big shoulders and a round waist, wearing armor with black light and oil, and a look of Lao Tzu's best look in the world, strode towards him.
Jia Baoyu knew how these "vulgar martial artists" greeted him, so he hurriedly bent down and saluted before the other party's broad and powerful palm slapped his shoulder:
"The little nephew has seen Uncle Xie Shi."
The Beijing guerrilla general Xie Whale, a hereditary baron of the second class, and his grandfather was the founding Marquis of Dingcheng.
Like his grandfather, he was a real martial artist
"Hahaha, Jia Xiaowazi, you are still so literate, I told you a long time ago, our noble family, what to do when you learn the tricks of those sour and rotten literati, follow me, Uncle Shi teaches you to play with knives and kill the enemy in battle, isn't it happy?"
Xie Whale didn't mind Jia Baoyu avoiding his bear hug, but he still taught as always.
Rongguo Mansion and Dingcheng Hou Mansion are world friends, the two families are close to each other, once Jia Zheng took Jia Baoyu to Dingcheng Hou Mansion for a banquet, somehow into the eyes of this big old man, shouting to teach him to practice swordsmanship
"Thank you Uncle Shi for your kindness, it's just that the little nephew is born blunt, I'm afraid that he can't play the knife well, and he can't kill the enemy.
Jia Baoyu sneered.
I don't know if this Xie Da Lao is pretending, in short, the "vulgar" state on his body is much more than that of ordinary generals.
Jia Baoyu had to follow his hair.
Sure enough, Jia Baoyu's words made Xie Whale a lot happier and no longer troubled Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know why Uncle Shi is here?" ”
"Hey, it's not the unlucky guy urging it, it's good to call Lao Tzu uh, old man, it's asking the old man to lead a thousand sons and daughters of the Beijing camp to escort what grain into Shandong, Jia Xiaowazi, you say this is not unlucky?"
I see, Jia Baoyu understands.
Eight thousand stone grains, not a lot to say, but definitely not too little.
It was another disaster area, and the imperial court had to consider the issue of security, and it was not outrageous to allocate 1,000 officers and soldiers to escort it.
It seems that Xie Whale is the leader of the guards on this trip.
Xie Whale didn't care what Jia Baoyu was thinking, he patted Jia Baoyu, ignored Ye Hao next to him, and said directly: "What do you mean by pestle here, go, Uncle Shi will take you to the barracks outside the city to have a look, and look at the mighty sons and daughters under Uncle Shi's command, maybe you will change your mind." ”
Wang Zhen came over, and when he heard this, his face suddenly turned unpleasant, and he said:
"General Xie is responsible for disaster relief and food security, and he should know the general situation of the 8,000 stone grain he is responsible for, how many mule carts and carriages are occupied, and how many miles are connected from end to end, and only after he goes back can he formulate a corresponding escort plan, how can he leave without looking at it?"
Xie Whale glanced at him and said disdainfully: "When the old man was marching and fighting, you didn't know where to study!" It's just a common thing to escort grain and grass in the army, and it's only 8,000 stone of grain, can this general know how much, and he still wants Lord Wang to teach me? ”
"You!"
Wang Zhen almost fell down in anger when she heard this.
Although Xie Whale's grade is higher than him, he is the grain officer of this trip, and in terms of law, Xie Whale has to obey his dispatch, and he doesn't want this product to not give him a good face in public.
