Chapter 369: Xia Gusu
"Let's go!"
Wang Shun was always angry that he was scratched by a beggar, and when he saw that the beggar didn't leave after taking the money, he immediately urged. But after being stunned for two seconds, the beggar suddenly turned around and walked past him.
Wang Shun was taken aback, and was about to reach out to grab him. But then I saw him kneeling on the ground and said to Jia Qing in the distance: "Uncle, I know that you are a nobleman, please take us in!" ”
Jia Qing was about to take Daiyu and the others into the house to take a look, when he heard the words, he turned around.
"Blind things, our lord kindly gave you money, can you still rely on it? What kind of person is our master, how can he take in you little beggars and not leave quickly. ”
Qingwen on the side said to Zijuan: "I really don't know that Wang Shun is so unsympathetic, it's really hateful, let's let the second master stay away from him in the future." ”
Daiyu nodded, obviously agreeing. Only Zijuan smiled, these evil things are generally not done by his subordinates, otherwise, if you let the master do everything, it will not lose face.
Wang Shun didn't know that he had inadvertently offended two people he couldn't afford to offend. He just didn't want these pickled people to pester Jia Qing.
Beggars, just send a kind heart, give some money and send them away, do you really have to take care of them for the rest of your life?
Jia Qingdao: "Take you in? There is no shortage of men in my house, and besides, what can you do if I take you in? ”
yes, what can we do? The eldest brother thought to himself. However, he really didn't want to live a life of survival, and all he thought about all day long was how to eat a bite of food, so that his poor little brothers and sisters like him could have a bite to eat......
Seeing that Jia Qing didn't seem to have any intention of helping these poor people, Daiyu reminded: "Second brother, you promised me. ”
Jia Qing nodded, but didn't answer, just looked at the kneeling person in front of him.
This beggar, he felt very unusual. In this case, the other beggars stood behind him without knowing what was wrong, and he was the only one who knelt firmly.
The eldest brother's face was full of blood, and he suddenly said: "I can't do anything else, but I can work hard for the master!" ”
Only he knows how he managed to grow so big. It's ridiculous to say that he is a beggar who can't eat enough, but he has a preference, that is, "listening to books".
That's right, just listen to books! His favorite place to beg for food is the teahouse and restaurant in the streets and alleys, because there are often storytellers in those places, and he likes to eavesdrop on those storytellers from afar to tell some stories about how the predecessors originally fell and finally turned into a master!
This was the greatest ambition in his humble physique, and he wanted to be like that.
Jia Qing was surprised, absolutely surprised. When someone says that they want to work for themselves, Jia Qing will be very calm, because there are too many people who want to climb up. However, when a beggar firmly said to you, "I can work for you", the kind of shock that came from the heart made Jia Qing have to look up at this yellow-skinned beggar with a tattered body.
"Okay, I can give you a chance!"
The eldest brother was overjoyed, and listened to Jia Qingdao: "You go to the Xunfeng Carriage and Horse Shop and look for the person in charge, just say that it is the second master of Ningguo Mansion in Jingzhong, and let him take you in." They may ignore you or they may not believe you, you have to find a way to get them to ignore you and believe in you, and besides, I will not help you in any way.
As long as you can do that, I can promise to take you in. ”
The eldest brother's face changed for a while, and there was no doubt that this matter was a very difficult thing for a group of little beggars. However, looking at Jia Qing's calm expression, he seemed to understand what Jia Qing meant, and kowtowed again: "Okay, I will definitely be able to do it!" ”
"Okay, then you can go." Jia Qing said lightly.
After glancing at Jia Qing again, the eldest brother stood up silently, and slowly walked out of the small courtyard with the other beggars who were at a loss.
"Second brother, they are so pitiful, why do you still have to embarrass them? Didn't you say that your carriage and horse shop is very suitable for adopting these orphans, why don't you just take them in? What if they go out and meet a bad guy and get bullied? ”
As soon as a few little beggars left, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but complain about Jia Qingdao.
Jia Qing turned around and saw that there was a trace of hair on Daiyu's face that was blown by the wind, so he stretched out his hand to pin it behind her ear, and said with a smile: "What is too easy to get is always less precious than what has been obtained through hardships." ”
After speaking, regardless of whether Dai Yuming didn't understand, he said to Wang Shun: "Arrange two people, secretly watch their movements, and don't alarm them on the premise of not letting them have an accident." ”
Daiyu was still thinking about what Jia Qing meant, but when she heard this, she was relieved.
......
"Second master, why are you so happy?"
In the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion, the attacker saw Jia Baoyu, who was dressed in red, bouncing back from Jia's mother's house, and couldn't help asking.
"Hehehehe....." Who knows, Jia Baoyu has been stupid when she heard this, ignored her, and sat on the edge of the desk alone to write a "diary".
"What's wrong with him?"
Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't say anything, the attacker asked Qiu Wendao who followed him.
Qiu Wen also said funny: "But it's really a good thing, just now in the old lady's house, the old lady said, Aunt Lin accepted the second master in our East Mansion as a righteous son, you say, after hearing such good news, can the second master be unhappy?" ”
After Qiu Wen finished speaking, he glanced at the attacker meaningfully.
After thinking about it, the attacker immediately reacted, and couldn't help but feel funny, and then, I didn't know what to think, sighed in my heart, turned around and walked out of the house.
......
Daming Palace, in the south study.
"How daring!"
Emperor Zhengqing threw the secret fold he had read on the imperial case.
Cabinet minister Cui Wenlong was sitting below at this time, and he heard the voice: "I don't know why Your Majesty is angry?" ”
"Aiqing will know by looking at it!" Emperor Zhengqing said lightly.
Dai Quan on the side hurriedly picked up the fold and handed it to Cui Wenlong. Cui Wenlong opened it and looked at it, and after a while, his face also sank, and he said: "They are really bold, they dare to openly block the Holy Hearing and intercept the envoy halfway." Your Majesty, Weichen believes that this matter should be strictly investigated! ”
Emperor Zhengqing also meant this, so he said: "Zhao Quan, I order you to go all out to investigate this matter, and I will definitely find out the mastermind behind this matter." If you are so bold and reckless, if you don't kill, how can the majesty of the king's law exist? ”
"Wechen obeys."
The commander of the Jinyi Army ordered Zhao Quan to leave.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the reason why they are doing this may not be to hide this matter." After Zhao Quan left, Cui Wenlong said.
"Oh? What does Aiqing think they are for? ”
"They should be in a hurry. They don't know how much we know, because they are panicked, so they do such a thing as a dog jumping off the wall! However, it just proves that this time, His Majesty hit them on the top of seven inches. ”
Cui Wenlong said with a smile.
Emperor Zhengqing said: "I don't care, at least, these people above can be pulled out!" ”
As he spoke, he knocked on a list on the imperial case, which was presented by Zhao Quan. The writer is Feng Tang.
"So, is Your Majesty sure that the big case from three years ago will be put back on the agenda?" Urging the text of the dragon road.
"Exactly!"
Cui Wenlong said secretly: It seems that in the next few days, the court should not be calm again. However, there was no need for him to worry, he just needed to keep up with the emperor's pace.
"This is the excerpt of Lin Ruhai's beggar bones, what does Cui Aiqing think?" Emperor Zhengqing suddenly picked up a book and said to Cui Wenlong.
"This ...... Lord Lin has paid so much for the imperial court over the years, and now he is begging to return to his hometown to recuperate, which is also reasonable......"
"Hmph, he's only in his fifties, and he's no older than me, so where can't he recuperate, so he has to go back to his hometown?"
As soon as Cui Wenlong heard this, he knew that the emperor didn't want to let Lin Ruhai go, so he said: "Lord Lin is indeed a capable minister, and it is really a big loss for the court to not have Lord Lin." It's just that if Your Majesty doesn't allow it, I'm afraid that people will mistakenly think that Your Majesty is not considerate of your subordinates......"
"Well, I'll give him a year."
......
The cold wind is bleak, and today's Yangzhou City Wharf is particularly solemn.
From a distance, on the wide river, there are more than a dozen large and small boats. On the shore, a line of mighty sergeants stood proudly in the wind, waiting for the battle.
Before the dock, Jia Qing smiled and said to Feng Tang: "The old general has a great responsibility to escort the Qin prisoners and related physical evidence back to Beijing on this trip, and I hope the old general will be more careful." ”
Feng Tang also smiled: "I wanted to go on a trip to Gusu with General Jia, but the emperor's order must not be neglected, so I had to take the first step." ”
"The old general takes care all the way."
"General Jia, take care too."
After speaking, Feng Tang was no longer polite and turned around to board the ship.
......
Seeing Feng Tang's ship leave, Jia Qing did not turn around and return to the city, but kept standing in place. After a while, a huge fortune boat drove over and lowered the pedals......
Today is the day when Feng Tang was ordered to escort the White Lotus Sect bandits back to Beijing for the first time, and it is also the day when Jia Qing escorted Lin Ruhai back to Suzhou.
Because Lin Ruhai was still sick to the outside world, Fang Cai did not come forward to bid farewell to Feng Tang, but only asked Jia Qingqing to send him off.
After staying in Lin Ruhai's house for a while, Jia Qing came out, but saw Daiyu leaning on the railing of the boat alone, Jia Qing walked over and said, "My sister's body is not very good, what are you doing standing in the wind?"
What is my sister looking at? ”
Daiyu glanced back at Jia Qing, pointed to a "strange boat" moving with their boat on the river in the distance, and asked, "What is that boat used for?" ”
Jia Qing looked in the direction, it turned out that Daiyu was talking about the flower boat sent by Wu Zhong and others, and he heard that Jia Qing was about to set off and handed it over to Jia Qing yesterday afternoon.
"That, which one is a program for our eldest lady......"
"What show?"
"Music and Dance ......"
Daiyu was silent, and Jia Qing didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, so she said, "Sister, let's go into the house, I'm really going to blow out of my illness later?" ”
Daiyu's brows furrowed into a small Sichuan character, and she said, "You're so annoying." ”
But he turned around and went back to the house.
Jia Qing touched his nose and followed into the house.
......
It's been more than ten days, and Jia Qing and his entourage have been in Suzhou for several days.
When I arrived in Suzhou, the first major event was the ancestor worship of the Lin Mansion.
The old house of the Lin family.
"I know you still have a lot of things to do, and now, my side is basically safe, and you don't have to keep delaying with me, choose one day, you can take Yu'er back to the capital."
When he arrived at his hometown in Suzhou, Lin Ruhai didn't have to pretend to be sick anymore, so he sat directly on the chair and said to Jia Qingdao.
Jia Qingdao: "Taking care of the father-in-law is what the son should do, how can it be said that it is delayed." ”
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite between us, for my business, you have been busy for two or three months, and you can't live at home for even a year." Now, it's time to go back, and don't forget that you still have the imperial order with you. ”
"So, father-in-law, are you alone over here, ......?"
"Then you can rest assured, although it is to recuperate, then you and Yu'er can't both follow me here to recuperate, right?"
Since Lin Ruhai said so, Jia Qing was no longer hypocritical. After being out of Beijing for so long, he really should go back.
"That's fine. It's just that Sister Lin still has to be persuaded by her father-in-law. ”
Lin Ruhai is recuperating, and it is reasonable for Daiyu to stay and take care of her. It's just that, first, Jia's mother repeatedly told her to take Daiyu back, and second, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu are both sick, if they stay, it's really hard to say who will take care of whom, but it's easy to add sadness to each other, so why bother?
Lin Ruhai also means this.
"Don't worry, I'll just go and tell her Yu'er."
In Lin Ruhai's heart, it must be better to let Daiyu follow Jia Qing than to follow him.
......
"Girl, my lord is thinking about you, why doesn't the girl understand? If the girl does not follow the second master back to Beijing, the old lady will definitely be sad.
Besides, the girl's health is not good, if she stays here, a lonely person, although there is a master, in the end it is not as good as being in Beijing, the family is big and small, so the brothers and sisters are good for the body.
Besides, the master's health is not good, if the girl stays here, the master loves the girl very much, and when he sees the girl, he will not be happy, and his heart will not be happy, so it will not be good for recuperation......"
In the evening, in Daiyu's house, Zijuan was doing ideological work on Daiyu bitterly, but she didn't get any reaction. Seeing this, Zijuan could only sigh helplessly.
"Hey, the second master is here!" Suddenly, Zijuan suddenly became happy. As soon as this master arrives, the girl will definitely be fine.
Jia Qing walked over, looked at Daiyu who was sitting on the couch with teary eyes, sighed, and said softly:
"Okay, Sister Lin, if you are reluctant to be a father-in-law, we will stay for a while longer and then leave......"
Daiyu cried very sadly as four years ago, when Lin Ruhai persuaded her to enter Beijing.
However, after listening to Jia Qing's words, Daiyu looked away and said, "No, no, it's not that I don't want to go, I, I just want to see my mother......"
Jia Qing was stunned, yes, why did he forget this stubble.
After so many years, Daiyu is still returning to Suzhou for the first time, how can she not miss her dead mother? Neither he nor Lin Ruhai thought of this, but thought that Daiyu didn't want to go back to Beijing.
"Okay, I'll go with my sister to see my aunt tomorrow."
Daiyu finally stopped crying, raised her head to look at Jia Qing, her eyes were clear, and then said, "Well, second brother, thank you." ”
Jia Qing smiled: "Silly sister, be polite to me." ”
