Chapter 697: Arriving in the capital
Feng Si and the others have been honestly shrunk aside, afraid that Wu County Ling will notice them, but what are they afraid of, in the end, Wu County Ling still noticed these sneaky guys, and asked Bi Sheng with a frown, which made Feng Si and the others all look at Bi Sheng nervously, and their eyes also showed pleading.
Bi Sheng hesitated for a moment at this time, and then smiled and said to Wu County: "It's nothing, they want to come to print Buddhist scriptures, but they didn't expect the county order to come suddenly." ”
Seeing that Bi Sheng did not confess himself, Feng Si also breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Xianling was a personal essence, how could he not see the joints at this time, but he did not break it, but smiled and encouraged Bi Sheng again, and then said goodbye and left.
As soon as Wu Xianling left, Feng Si's gang immediately ran away, after all, they didn't have the courage to blackmail Bi Sheng again, they were people appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and even the county order had to come to congratulate them in person, not to mention their gang of scoundrels.
"Dad, why didn't you shake out all the evil things of Feng Si in front of Wu County's order just now, there will definitely be them who look good!" At this time, Bi Sheng's youngest son Bi Rong was a little unconvinced, in fact, not only Bi Rong, but everyone else also had the same feeling, after all, that Feng Si deceived people too much, and Bi Sheng should not let the other party go.
"You guys, you're still too young, Feng Si is the most grudgeful, even if we sue him to Wu County Order this time, but he didn't kill people and set fires, at most he will be released after a few years of lock-up, once he is hated by this kind of person, we can't still live in Qishui County?" Bi Sheng said earnestly at this time.
"Father, didn't the Wu County Order say just now, the emperor wants to summon you to Beijing, even we can go together, are we still afraid of a mere Feng Si when we go to the capital?" Bi Rong was unconvinced again at this time.
"Fourth brother, don't mess around, the emperor's summoning of his father to Beijing is unknown, although he said that he was going to assist in the construction of a printing workshop, but no one knows what will happen in the capital, maybe he will come back to Qishui County in the future, so it is a bit risky to completely fall out with people like Feng Si now." At this time, Bi Jia also said that compared with the young Bi Rong, he also saw the problem more thoroughly.
Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Bi Rong and the others didn't dare to speak again, and then they saw Bi Jia walk up to his father and ask in a low voice: "Father, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that the imperial court suddenly recruited you, the capital is not as small as Qishui, if something goes wrong, maybe the family will be unlucky?" ”
Bi Sheng was also mixed at this time, only to see that he hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "I'm also a little worried, but the imperial court can't help but call, so let's do it, the family still needs you to watch, I'll take the second and fourth children to the capital to explore the situation!" ”
"Okay, then father, you have to be careful along the way!" Bi Jia hesitated when he heard his father's words and nodded, he is the eldest son, and only he can call the shots when his father leaves, after all, the family business here cannot be lost, if the capital is good, it is not too late for their family to move over.
Knowing that his father was going to take him there, Bi Rong was also so happy that he almost jumped up, in contrast, his second brother Bi Wen was much calmer, and after discussing it with Bi Sheng, he immediately asked his family to help pack his luggage and prepare for the trip.
Three days later, Bi Sheng came to the county government with his two sons as promised, and the Wu county order also prepared a carriage for them, and even two officials accompanied them, and their expenses along the way will also be paid by the government, in fact, the cost is not much, because Bi Sheng has an order from the imperial court, as long as he takes the official road, the post station will be received for free, which is also one of the privileges of officials.
Speaking of which, Bi Sheng has stayed in Qishui County for most of his life, and the farthest is that he has been to Qizhou City when he was young, so in his impression, Qizhou City is already a great big city, but he has also heard that Qizhou is compared to the capital, and the gap between Qishui County and Qizhou City is even bigger, so Bi Sheng can't imagine what kind of situation the capital is like.
Compared with the mixed blessings and sorrows of Bi Sheng, the young Bi Rong is only excited, he is Bi Sheng's old son, he is not yet twenty years old this year, Bi Sheng has already told him about his family, but the woman's mother died suddenly, and it takes three years of worry, so he can't get married for the time being.
As a young son, Bi Rong is usually very loved by his father, and his three elder brothers also take good care of him, so Bi Rong's temperament is also relatively simple, not as far as his eldest brother and second brother think, and for the prosperity of the capital, he has long heard that he can only imagine the scene of the capital in his dreams, and now he finally has the opportunity to go to the capital to see it with his own eyes, which makes Bi Rong immersed in excitement along the way.
Qizhou is also quite far away from the capital, Bi Sheng father and son first took a car, then changed boats, and finally went north through the Grand Canal, until a few months later, only then did they see the Tokyo city wall in the distance, which made their father and son all three are mentally shocked, even if it is no exception, even if the future is uncertain now, but as a Song people, being able to see the prosperity of the capital with their own eyes is enough for them to forget their previous worries.
The boat went along the Bianhe River, and finally docked at a small pier outside the capital, and then Bi Sheng father and son got off the boat, inquired about the direction of the city gate before entering the city, only to see that when they entered the capital, they saw that the city was full of traffic, both sides of the street were full of tall shops, and the road was wide enough to run horses, and several people felt that their eyes were not enough to see.
The official who escorted Bi Sheng's father and son was also the first time to enter Beijing, although the road was hard, but at this time they saw the grand occasion of the capital, they also felt that the trip was worthwhile, and it was still early, so they were not in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Industry, and they discussed it with Bi Sheng's father and son, so they decided to go around the capital first, after all, it was not easy to come to a trip, and they had to buy something to go back.
In the afternoon, Bi Sheng's father and son came to the Ministry of Industry under the leadership of the two officials, after all, his mobilization was issued by the Ministry of Industry, and after the officials of the Ministry of Industry approved the transfer order, someone immediately took them to the post house to settle down temporarily.
The news of the arrival of Bi Sheng's father and son was also quickly sent to Li Zhang, and when he learned the news, Li Zhang also wanted to see each other almost immediately, but considering that the other party had worked too hard all the way and needed to take a break, he could only wait patiently until the next day to visit immediately, because he wanted Bi Sheng to see the movable type printing workshop he had built.
