Chapter 237: Meet Again
As soon as the family entered the capital, Ya's eyes were immediately insufficient, although Hangzhou was prosperous, but how could it be compared with the imperial capital of this old empire. The bustling streets are simply dizzying, especially all kinds of snacks to eat, from the south, from the north, from all over the country, which simply makes the girl salivate for a long time, and if you want to buy this, you have to buy that. After begging his mother to no avail, he immediately directed all his firepower at Mao Yulong.
And for this girl, Mao Yulong showed a bottomless tolerance for being an elder brother, and when the family arrived at the residence guided by the two eunuchs, it was already half a cart of snacks. This child was warned by the old lady fiercely, and in the case of shouting for random buying and directly chopping his hands, he could be regarded as ending this sweeping purchase.
The two eunuchs came with a family, it was the post house of the Beijing division, and after taking out a formality, the carriage entered the post house through the side door, and turned around and entered a quiet courtyard.
According to Mao Yulong's identity, he is absolutely not qualified to live in, this is a temporary residence for foreign officials to enter Beijing to face the saint, or for business trips, even if the family members accompanying them do not study
At the beginning, Hong Wuye continued the system of the Yuan Dynasty to set up a post delivery, which was originally only for the purpose of delivering envoys, flying military information, and transferring military supplies. This thing is also very important.
But after hundreds of years, the peace is over, and his actual role has long existed in name only. The post has become a free service for big officials to enjoy traveling. And this post station does not need the state to pay for it, but the state gives this post station a privilege, that is, it can be apportioned on the spot, and the people are transported on the spot, so on the way, an official crossing the border, not only to eat and drink, but also to live comfortably, but also to send the people along the way, for the drive, therefore, this has become a major malpractice that harms the people, so that later Emperor Chongzhen abolished the post station, released more than 100,000 post station guards with basic training, so that they were cornered and joined the mighty rebel army, in essence, turned a group of rabble into some regular army base, among which is a well-known celebrity - Li Zicheng.
Of course, these are all principles, and they are all afterthoughts. And now that Mao Yulong can live in this free place, he is at ease, and his family is not bad anyway.
While helping to carry things, the two eunuchs explained to Mao Yulong's family: "I heard that the old lady came over, and Wang Banban came over to greet the Yicheng here in person, and asked the old lady's family to settle down here first." In just half a month, Wang Companion went out early and returned late, and he took him to see more than a dozen places, a few good yards in the photo, just waiting for the old lady to come over, and then take you to see, which one you like will buy it directly. ”
The mother was embarrassed again and again: "This is really not supposed to take advantage of the public, my child has a heart, since he has seen a few houses, he settled down early, we still live in our own home to be sure." ”
Shunzi comforted the old lady: "Don't worry, the old lady doesn't live here, and there are people living here, and it's not bad for our family, the old lady can live here with peace of mind, buying a house is not like buying an egg, just pick one casually, you have to be cautious." ”
"Yes, it's just that I always live in this place and take advantage of others, and I can't bear it."
With the diligent help of a few post guards, the few belongings were finally moved in and settled, and Mao Yulong took out 100 yuan and rewarded these post guards, and these post guards thanked them a thousand times. A post guard also asked heartily: "I don't know what to eat at night, our canteen here has all kinds of flavors, the old lady will order a few things first, and then send them to your yard in the evening." Then he replied: "It's all free." ”
As a result, Junzi said to him with a cold face: "You don't have to worry about the dinner at night, the old lady is tired of traveling, let's rest for a while, you can go, and greet you when there is something." When there is nothing to do, don't walk around here for a few rewards, disturbing the old lady's rest. ”
Several post guards nodded their heads and went out backwards, not forgetting to close the courtyard door when they left.
Jizi yelled outside: "Uncle will think in the future, these guys come out and go in to ask for rewards, we don't need to spend that unjust money." ”
Mao Yulong nodded casually, and then asked the two eunuchs: "When will my brother have free time?" ”
Shunzi hurriedly said: "Our brother has settled you, and I will go back to the palace immediately." If Wang Banban knew that the old lady had arrived, it was estimated that he would be able to come over in a blink of an eye. ”
Just as he said this, the courtyard door was slammed open from the outside, and a crying voice sounded: "Mother, you want to die of a child." Everyone turned their heads to look, but it was not Wang Chengen who was running. didn't care about others, he rushed directly into the hall, but he simply ignored Mao Yulong and looked around: "Mother? My mother is there. ”
Ya heard the voice, "Brother-" ran out and pounced on him, Wang Chengen hugged her, pinched his waist and circled in the air. When the two brothers were laughing, the curtain was lifted, and the mother appeared at the door. Wang Chengen hurriedly put down Ya, tidied up his messy robe, knelt down on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed again and again: "Mother is fine, Mother is tired, have you eaten, Mother, the child will take you shopping, Mother-" This incoherent language made Mao Yulong feel ridiculous. But it's also a true outpouring of feelings.
The mother took him in her arms and patted him gently on the back: "Mother is fine, mother is not tired, mother is not hungry." Then he pushed him away and held his shoulders to look left and right: "After leaving for half a year, I have grown taller, and I look a little rao, in fact, this hairy appearance is not good, if you break something in the prince's house, it will be a capital crime." ”
"Mother, I'm just coquettish in front of your old man, in the palace, I'm a rule."
Mao Yulong stepped forward and moved over his shoulder: "You guy with no conscience, I was the first to see me, but you didn't even look at me, I can tell you, I am my mother's biological son, and I am still your brother." ”
The mother held one in one hand and said with a smile: "It's all my own birth, it's all my own birth." ”
Wang Chengen apologized to Mao Yulong again and again, and then turned his head to Shunzi and Jizi with a cold face and said, "After serving along the way, I can take my mother's reward." ”
The two hurriedly shouted: "The two of us have great courage, and we don't dare to take the old lady's reward, this is a family thing, why do you do it like that?" ”
The mother also explained: "These two good children are very diligent with their hands and feet, and I want to give a few pocket money, but they don't want anything." ”
Wang Chengen showed a smile on his face: "Count the acquaintance of the two of you, but you are also indispensable after this busy work, 10 taels of silver per person." ”
The two eunuchs almost couldn't find the north at that time, although they were in the palace, who could take the two of them seriously? Ten taels of silver came to them, it was simply a penny, and now they secretly rejoiced that they had not picked up the old lady's two silver horns on the dock because they had kept their duty at the beginning, and now they got a big one.
As a result, Wang Chengen touched his arms, then turned his head and said to his mother in embarrassment: "Ran out in a hurry, the child didn't bring money." ”
The mother laughed: "It's still so careless, my mother will bring it to you." Then he turned around and went back to the house, took two ingots and ten taels of silver and stuffed them to the two eunuchs: "This is what your brother gave you, and you can't refuse to accept it this time." ”
The two eunuchs really knelt down and kowtowed, and Wang Chengen said: "Since you are my two brothers, then you will be my two brothers from now on, and everyone will be in the same boat in the future." ”
This is definitely an unexpected joy, a lowest-level eunuch can become a brother with the prince's most trusted companion in the blink of an eye, this is simply a step. Of course, they also know that even if they become brothers, they must abide by their duties, otherwise they will not end well. So after calling my brother, the two of them became more attentive in doing things.
"Mother, let's go to the most famous restaurant in the capital, let my mother try it, wait for the child to take a few leaves, take you around, and then go to see the yard I booked."
The mother happily agreed, and then with the support of the two eunuchs, the family, including Huang, went to the street and ate the first meal in the capital. WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
