Chapter 5 The two families say goodbye
A woman, dressed in Tsing Yi Manluo and holding an oil umbrella, stood in the rain, looking at the carriage, silent, with a complicated light in her eyes.
Mo Yinian lowered the speed of the carriage as if on foot.
Jiang Yun glanced at it lightly, sighed lightly, pulled down the curtain, held "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, his body trembled slightly, and coughed a few times.
"Let's go."
Mo Yinian drove the carriage, and the speed continued to increase until he disappeared in front of the woman.
In the vast rain, a wisp of mist rose in Lin'an City, and the woman watched it stupidly.
She wanted to leave, and habitually called "Dongmei", but no one responded.
Two lines of clear tears fell and melted into the rain.
Jiang Yun returned to the inn, and it was still raining in the city, as if nothing had changed.
On the second day, Mo Yinian gently knocked on Jiang Yun's door.
Jiangmen pushed open the door, Mo Yinian pointed to the two groups of people below, and Beigong Boyu squeezed his eyebrows and greeted him below.
"The Beigong family and the Xuanyuan family came, and the Beigong family sent a letter of worship and invited the son to come to the house today. Xuanyuan's family sent ten horses of silk, 100 pieces of cloth, 210,000 pieces of silver, and 100,000 dollars. β
Jiang Yun looked at the two groups of people below, the Beigong family came in person by Beigong Boyu, and the Xuanyuan family came from Xia Ting, the chief housekeeper of the mansion.
Mo Yinian looked at the Xuanyuan family, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's all a heart, and that's what I choose."
Jiang Yun went downstairs, leaned over, and thanked the people from the two families.
Beigong Boyu walked up first and presented a red greeting post, "My father, the eldest brother wants to see you, and the second brother said that he also wants to see you, but he recently went to Jinling and said that he would go to Lichun Courtyard together next time." This time, Dad invited the cook from Hongyuan Building to come over, and the chicken leg looked like he wanted to eat it. β
"Thank you to the Beigong family for me, I will go to the banquet in person today." Jiang Yun could feel Beigong Boyu's sincerity from the bottom of his heart, and the Beigong family specially invited a cook, and he valued himself very much for this banquet.
At this time, Xia Ting, the chief housekeeper of the Xuanyuan family, rolled his eyes, looking at Beigong Boyu's kindness to Jiang Yun, and had some plans in his heart, his own family master sent him over to send these is actually a bit of a loss, and it can even be said that it is a move made in order not to fall into the name of "not reporting".
But due to the order of the head of the family, Xia Ting could only come forward with a smile on his face.
Beigong Boyu glanced at Xia Ting, but he was very disdainful, what does the Xuanyuan family mean by this? Just send these things and you're done? What about sending Hanako?
Beigong Boyu was about to say something, but stopped him with one hand.
Jiang Yun made a salute, and his gestures were natural and graceful, without the slightest displeasure on his face, and he maintained a faint smile.
Seeing this bearing, Xia Ting felt that Jiang Yun in front of him was even more extraordinary, he was not happy or angry when he encountered this situation, he was calm and natural, it can be said that he had a lot of energy, and his movements were also a lot more respectful, and he leaned over.
"Yun Gongzi, the head of the family ordered the villain to send ten horses of silk, 100 pieces of cloth, 210,000 pieces of silver, and 100,000 yuan of money, as a thank you for saving my young lady..."
"You..."Beigong Boyu just wanted to say something, but Mo Yinian covered his mouth, he originally wanted to say, "Is your Xuanyuan family's eldest lady worth these things?" ...β
Jiang Yun's expression remained unchanged, "Yun Jiang has thanked the Xuanyuan family here." β
Etiquette does not fall, and it is naturally indifferent.
After the people from the Xuanyuan family left, Beigong Boyu sent away the people he brought over, and kept thinking about the Xuanyuan family.
"The Xuanyuan family is also becoming more and more aggressive, in the past, the three of us were treated equally, but now he continues to expand his strength, and a large number of his representatives have risen in the court, hey, this person began to change as soon as he climbed the high branches.."
After speaking, Beigong Boyu hurriedly covered his mouth and secretly glanced at Jiang Yun.
"It's okay, tell me about the situation in the court."
Seeing that Jiang Yun's expression was the same, Beigong Boyu's heart relaxed slightly.
"There are three big families in the court, the Beigong family where I am located, the Chen family, and the snobbish Xuanyuan family. It has been more than ten years since my father retired from the cabinet, my eldest brother is now a squire in the Hanlin Academy, and the second brother has recently become the imperial historian to investigate the case of Jinling. The head of the Chen family has also retired, the eldest brother of the Chen family is the chief frontier guard of Xiwuwei, and there is a little sister who is about the same age as me, and I heard that she will also be admitted to the academy. The Chen family's heirs are just the two of them. β
"And that Xuanyuan family, that's in the limelight. The old man of the Xuanyuan family is now Shangshuling, and the real power is not small, the eldest brother of the Xuanyuan family is the secretary of the military department, the second brother is the great sacrificial wine of the Taiyuan Academy, and the third brother heard that he will soon be appointed as the prefect of Jiangnan, which is a three-master. has a lot of say in the court. β
"And there are seven people in the cabinet, the first assistant is not easy to Dongfang, Shangshu Ling Xuanyuan Po, Ouyang Kai, the master of the Yushitai, Zheng Huan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Fangzheng of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Pei, a scholar, and Mao Pingzhi, the secretary of Honglu Temple."
"Is there one person in this cabinet who came from the army?"
"No, all of them are civil officials." Beigong Boyu's eyes were a little gloomy, "Today, my Dayan territory has shrunk by two-three tenths, and even the Hetao area, which is rich in good horses, has now been taken away by Beirong, and the Dayan cavalry is no longer as prosperous as it used to be..."
Yang Fan probably understands the attitude of today's Great Yan towards the army, emphasizing literature over military force, and most of the military attaches have an attitude of suppressing or seizing power, unless the border army really has no choice, the military attaches in other places, such as the court, the military attachΓ©s are incapable of entering the cabinet, or in other words, on the night of Lin'an sixteen years ago, most of the outstanding military generals were buried, causing the originally powerful Great Yan army to weaken all of a sudden.
When he was in the border fortress, the war was continuous, the people lived miserably, and bandits were rampant, but when they arrived in Jinling, they could still sing songs every night, creating a prosperous scene.
"The suffering of the people is great." Jiang Yun said, "Boyu, along the way, we have come to the extent that the plague of the Japanese has reached the point where it can invade my Dayan like entering a no-man's land, but the sheng song is still the same, the dancing girl is graceful, and the scholar is just chanting poetry, even the hawker father and son who are working hard to make a living, if they don't run into us, I'm afraid they will lose their lives like this." β
"Whoever is a human being, should fight for the rise of Dayan!"
Jiang Yun said, with a sense of pride.
When Beigong Boyu and Mo Yinian heard this, their eyes changed slightly, and a trace of fire in their hearts was ignited, like a spark burning the plain.
In August of the eighteenth year of the avenue, Jiang Yun, Mo Yinian, and Beigong Boyu swore in the Lin'an stack, and when they considered, they were all different, sneering, and unmoved.
