Chapter 141: The Prince's Bet
Xiao Xueyi and other female guards all smiled and said nothing, although they knew that Murong Yanran's master and apprentice were noble, but they were also from wealthy families, and they all had their own arrogance, and there were also many heroes in the Zhongshan Mansion as guards, and their status was not as good as theirs.
Besides, seeing that the scene was a little tasteful, he hurriedly took the wine and laughed.
The powerful Xiao Xueyi saw his eyes, and the sisters who restrained him put away that look. No matter how arrogant they are, they still have to abide by the etiquette of dignity and humility, and now that they are the official masters, his every move is an order. If you are not happy, send them back, they are the ones who cry, and if they are sent back for no reason, they will be repatriated, and the Zhongshan Mansion will not reuse them, this is the rule.
Murong Yanran smiled indifferently, she wouldn't take these children's chatter to heart at all. She has rarely come out recently, and her diet has been reduced a lot, and Xiao Nier and besides are speculating whether she is in Bigu, or practicing an advanced martial art.
"Sister Xiao, and all the sisters, since you are here, you should have a good time in the capital first, there are still a few places that are very interesting in the spring season in the capital, and then decide to stay." Besides.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Xueyi was stunned.
The rest of the female guards also panicked, and one of them got up and said, "Gongzi, it's not that the little ones dare to talk too much, it's just that I don't know what mistakes the little ones have made and want to send us back?" ”
Besides, he smiled: "Don't get me wrong, there is no such thing, I have a small temple here, and your sisters are too wronged by me." ”
Xiao Nier also said: "That is, we are ordinary people, we can't compare with Zhongshan Wangfu, that is the difference between heaven and earth, don't you sisters have been wronged in vain in our place." ”
"Are you giving us a leg up or are you telling you the truth?" Xiao Xueyi's eyes were red, but she knew that he had a great relationship with Guogong and the little prince, and he was not the kind of person who would turn his face when he said it.
"Honestly, honestly, I swear, I really feel that I have wronged you too much, it is purely a good heart." Besides, raise your right hand high.
Besides, it is indeed true, the specifications here are too much worse than those of Zhongshan Wangfu, love is love, he doesn't want a group of girls to waste their youth here, and in the end they will have a happy time and get nothing.
A few days ago, Zhang Juzheng once told him that he planned to send a few staff members to him, so that he could make meritorious contributions in front of the army and seek a good future in the future.
Don't say what those people think, he himself has no confidence, many things are not something that someone can do well if they have money, especially this kind of big thing, there is a great possibility of smashing the pot in the end, and there are too many uncertainties. He is also taking one step at a time now, and he basically does not dare to plan for the future.
The reason why he took on the heavy responsibility was, firstly, that the king's order could not be violated, and secondly, that he wanted to take advantage of this mission to escape from Beijing and find a reasonable and legal channel to go overseas, which was of course the best choice.
"Childe don't have to think about it, our sisters will be here in the future, if you have the idea of sending us back, you might as well kill us first." Xiao Xueyi said, smiled lightly and sat down calmly.
"That's right, Grandpa Guo has said that in the future, you will have a higher standard here than the palace, and the little prince also said that we are all blessed people who have been sent here. You can rest assured that in the future, our sisters will be your people in life and your ghosts in death. Another charming-looking guard laughed.
Xiao Nier's face was a little stiff, and Zuo Ling's face was a little red. What's going on, can you still rely on it?
The maids who stood aside and waited covered their mouths and were dumbfounded, this is too bold, love or not, and directly unilaterally set for life.
"What their sisters mean is that they will always be loyal to their son in the future and serve their son for the rest of their lives." Murong Yanran hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege.
"yes, that's what it means." The female guard, who was a little speechless, smiled, and then looked at the situation with extremely bold eyes, as if to say, Childe, you can look at it, no matter how you understand it.
Zuo Ling was about to erupt, Xiao Nier hurriedly pressed her knees, these people were all sent by Wei Guogong, they were originally the personal female guards of the little prince, and now they are still guests, and they can't lose their faces like they treat their own maids.
"Haha, then thank you for your kindness." Besides, I had to mess up the scene with haha.
Zuo Ling couldn't eat anymore, and said that he was full, and he was too tired, so he left the table with his maid ring.
"Well, Childe, we didn't say anything wrong, did we?"
Xiao Xueyi was a little apprehensive, although Zuo Ling has no reputation now, but besides, the matter between her and Zuo Ling was very sensational in Nanjing at the beginning, and it was because she was angry and led the elite soldiers of the two prefectures to attack Fengyang City. This shows that this woman has an unusual status in the heart of the child.
"No, she's probably really tired." Besides, he laughed.
"What are you waiting for, go quickly." Xiao Nier said, giving the situation a look.
Besides, he had to get up with a smile, hold back a few jokes that were not funny, and then say goodbye to everyone and walk quickly to Zuo Ling's room.
Unexpectedly, I saw that the door was closed, and although there was a light inside, no one spoke.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door, no one answered, and walked out of a maid ring from next door, which was brought by Zuo Ling, and when he saw it, he was busy curtsending, and then he was a little shy and a little embarrassed: "Uncle, Miss said that she was tired and was going to sleep soon." ”
Besides, he smiled bitterly: "Okay, you guys should also rest, it's too the way." ”
After saying that, he walked to the outer house, and did not return to the hall of the banquet, so he simply escaped under the pretext of this matter.
Thinking back to the statements made by the female guards just now, he felt that it was not simple, the teacher did not mention this matter in the letter to him, and it was said that Wei Guogong should have discussed with the teacher in advance before making this decision. These female guards are a trivial matter, and those elite soldiers are a big deal.
Could it be that Wei Guogong sensed something new, so he deliberately sent elite soldiers to protect himself? But now Zhang Juzheng can come forward to solve the general trouble here, if there is a big trouble, of course, it is the emperor, the problem is that if it really involves the emperor, Wei Guogong should hide far away, how dare he interfere?
No matter how powerful the Zhongshan Royal Mansion is, there is no doubt that it can only bow down to orders in front of the imperial power.
He thought of the words of the female guard again, could it be that Wei Guogong was really optimistic about him here? Send your cronies here, hoping that they will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future and have a better future in the end?
What does Wei Guogong know? Did the emperor hint at him, or did he guess it himself?
In the eyes of the outside world, he is now thriving here, of course, there are many people who think that it is false prosperity, and I don't know which day it may turn into nothing, in fact, even I dare not guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen. In this case, why did Wei Guogong bet on him that the big thing here would definitely succeed?
Zhang Juzheng is optimistic about him, but he just thinks that no matter how successful or unsuccessful things are in the future, he can help him remove the charges, but the credit will not be less at all, and it will increase, which has something to do with Zhang Juzheng's status and Zhang Juzheng's style. Qi Jiguang is a vivid case, many people in the court despise Qi Jiguang, thinking that his merits have been exaggerated because of Zhang Juzheng's support, and the veteran Yu Dayou has been belittled.
Besides, he understands that things are not so simple, after all, the final task is not completely clear, and he does not dare to guarantee that at the last moment, Zhang Juzheng will not be consistent, Zhang Juzheng is not Chen Musa after all, and it cannot be mixed up.
Even if Zhang Juzheng retreats, there will be no complaints, no one will be stupid enough to bet the life of a family and the phase industry above 10,000 people under one person on him, a hairy child, he sometimes really wonders if the emperor has taken the wrong medicine, how can he believe that he can do such a big thing.
"Why are you here, aren't you in there to drink?"
Besides, when he was thinking about it, when he heard Zhou Dingcheng's words, he realized that he had unconsciously come to the hall where the soldiers of the outer house had dinner.
In addition, when I bought this mansion, I thought that I would never use it everywhere in the mansion, but I could use one-tenth of it at most, but now the outer mansion is full, and there is basically no spare space.
The elite soldiers of the two prefectures were temporarily arranged to live in those wings, and how to convert them into barracks in the future is also a matter of taking their time.
When the five hundred soldiers gathered here saw that they had come in, they all hurriedly stood up, bowed their heads and stood solemnly.
"Everyone can sit casually, no formality, I'm just coming over to have two drinks with everyone." Besides, he sat down at one end of the long table.
Although he is not there, no one dares to sit in this position that represents him, and Zhou Dingcheng also sits in the first position on the left as the master.
"I'm doing everything here, the conditions are very difficult, please overcome it, and it will get better slowly." Besides, he said.
"My lord, your food here is better than ours." The commander of the guards of the Zhongshan Palace, smiled.
"yes, I didn't know it was there yet." And laughed.
Immediately, he understood that there were too many people to feed in the Zhongshan Palace, and it was impossible for everyone to have fine clothes and food, not to mention the palace, even most of the people in the palace were poor, and they ate coarse tea and light rice.
"That's the adult's boldness, and our brothers are all the blessings of the adult." Ji Chang smiled while holding the wine glass.
"Let's toast the adults together, I wish the adults a lot of good fortune and prosperous official luck, and we will also follow the light." The commander of the guards of the Zhongshan Palace, solemnly held his wine glass and said.
"I wish you great blessings! I wish you good luck! Five hundred people said loudly with their wine glasses in one go, but it was also angry.
Besides, he drained the wine in the cup, but he was very contemptuous in his heart, what kind of toast is this, why don't you wish him to go home in disgrace, that is what he wants most.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be thought about in the heart, not spoken.
He didn't want to go back to the two hundred elite soldiers of Zhongshan Palace, but he had led these people to attack Fengyang, and knew that this was definitely a hundred elite soldiers, and they could play the role of sharp knives at critical moments, and they could also play the role of pillars in the army, as for the people of Wucheng Houfu, they were originally their own family, not to mention thinking about anything.
The transfer procedures of these people should be submitted to the Ministry of War by the Zhongshan Mansion and the Marquis of Wucheng, and he does not need to take care of it, and the Ministry of War naturally has Zhang Juzheng to deal with it, and there should be no problems.
He believes in these people, especially Ji Chang's guards, of course, he believes most in Zhou Dingcheng and Murong Yanran's master and apprentice.
