Chapter 127 A little preparation
Zhao Yu had long known that Guo Jia and Xun Yu would have this question, or it should be said that there would definitely be such a question, so Zhao Yu had been thinking about how to deal with it in secret. Then again, why did Lu Ren dare to let Zhao Yu lead the team to Xuchang with confidence? It's because Lu Ren knows that although Zhao Yu will play with a little girl's temper from time to time, it is just a joke when he can play. In fact, Zhao Yu is very similar to her brother Zhao Yun in many places, not only bold, but also thoughtful.
At this time, Zhao Yu had already thought of his words, so he responded unhurriedly: "Mr. has taken in many refugees in Yizhou, and it is indispensable to recruit some family servants. After these people settled in Yizhou, they naturally wanted to bring their relatives to Yizhou to live together, and several of them had relatives living in the Xudu area. Originally, this kind of thing didn't need my little girl's family to do the work, but Mr. He missed Mrs. Ding and many children in the Fuyouyi House, and heard that the Fuyouyi House had become a little less and less supported after Mr. left, so he specially sent me to Xu Du to have a look. If the child care is really getting weaker, Mr. will still have to find a way to help. ”
Zhao Yu's words are seven true and three false, or they can be said to be all true, but they are just a little hidden, so Xun Yu and Guo Jia can't see any flaws. Moreover, they also know the delicate relationship between Fuyouyi and Lu Ren, as well as between Mrs. Ding and Lu Ren, and it can even be said that Mrs. Ding is Lu Ren's godmother, so it is reasonable for Lu Ren to be concerned about Mrs. Ding.
In addition, Xun Yu is also one of the funders of the Fuyou Yishe, and Xun Yu is still relatively clear about the current situation of the Fuyouyi House, but Xun Yu is also a little careless. After all, in terms of making money, Xun Yu is not a little worse than Lu Ren, so he can only try his best to help a little.
So at this moment, after listening to Zhao Yu's explanation, Xun Yu and Guo Jia both nodded gloomily. There is also a little bit of shame on the outside. And after a while, Xun Yu nodded to Zhao Yu and said, "So that's the case...... Rain girl, you can greet Yihao on my behalf when you go back. Also, you should leave Xudu as soon as possible after you finish your affairs in Xudu. Feng Xiao and I are old friends of Yihao, so naturally I won't do anything to you, but it's hard to guarantee that others won't think anything about you. ”
Zhao Yu also nodded. With Xun Yu's words, a big stone in Zhao Yu's heart finally fell to the ground. But at this time, Zhao Yu remembered something, reached into his sleeve and took out a wooden box the size of a cigarette box, and handed a letter to Xun Yu: "This is what Mr. asked me to try to hand over to Xun Gong." Originally, I wanted to entrust Mrs. Ding, who was in the Young Yishe, to hand it over to Xun Gong when I left Xu Du, but I didn't expect to meet Xun Gong today. Then simply hand it over to Xun Gong directly. ”
Xun Yu took the wooden box and looked at it, and saw that the wooden box was coated with a thick layer of paraffin to seal it, but he didn't know what was inside the wooden box. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the letter and looked at it, the expression on his face changed at that time, and he grabbed the wooden box again and looked at it carefully.
Guo Jia was a little inexplicable, after all, he knew very well what Xun Yu's heart was, and there were really few things that could make Xun Yu's face change abruptly. Subconsciously, Guo Jia snatched the letter and checked it. And when he saw it, he lost his voice and said: "Ambergris? Where did this kid get this treasure? ”
Saying that, Guo Jia wanted to snatch the wax sealed wooden box in Xun Yu's hand, but Xun Yu slapped away Guo Jia's outstretched claws. Zhengse said: "Don't mess around! This is what Yihao entrusted me to offer to the Son of Heaven. ”
Guo Jia's face twitched for a while before he withdrew his hand and said, "Dedicated to the Son of Heaven?" This kid really has a heart! ”
Xun Yu was startled when he read only half of the letter just now, so he didn't finish reading it, and now his surprise has passed and he has calmed down again. Actually, seriously, how much ambergris can you put in a wooden box the size of a cigarette box? It's only the size of two matchboxes. There is really not much more, and in terms of the value at the time, it was a matter of a few dozen taels of gold. And at this time, even if Emperor Liu Xie is bad, a few dozen taels of gold is not a problem for him.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu are not people who have never seen money, and it stands to reason that a few dozen taels of gold are not a big deal for them. And the reason why I was shocked just now. Mainly because of the dilapidated Han court and years of war, ambergris, a royal tribute, has basically disappeared. Emperor Liu Xie asked Xun Yu many times if he could get some, so that the sacrifices of the Han family could be more presentable. But Xun Yu can't do anything about it.
But they didn't expect that at this time, Lu Ren suddenly sent ambergris. Although the number is pitiful, this is ambergris after all, right? Moreover, ambergris is still relatively durable, as long as it is saved and not so wasteful, only a little bit the size of a fingernail is enough for a sacrifice.
(It may be an exaggeration, but don't take it seriously.) However, the bottle knows that the ambergris content in a bottle of high-end perfume is definitely pitiful. )
Looking at Xun Yufu and reading the letter carefully, Guo Jia was a little impatient and asked on the side: "How is it?" What did this kid say in the letter? What does he want to do with the good tribute ambergris? Do you want to seek official or wealth? ”
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Don't you know his temper and ability?" If he wants to be an official, as long as he is willing to come back, the lord will definitely be reused for him; As for seeking wealth...... Don't you know how big his business is? Not to mention anything else, the villages and towns in Yizhou were almost built by him. If you really want to make money, up and down under the lord's command, I'm afraid no one is his opponent. Okay, don't guess, take it and see for yourself. ”
Guo Jia took the letter and read it carefully. In fact, the content of the letter is very simple, Lu Ren is nothing more than saying that he just couldn't get along with Cao Cao when he left Cao Ying, and he didn't want to do things under Cao Cao anymore, but Lu Ren himself was absolutely loyal to the Han family. So although he is living in seclusion overseas, he still remembers that he is a courtier of the Han family, and now he is paying a little ambergris to the Han family, which is doing his duty as a courtier of the Han family.
In addition, Lu Ren also mentioned that the relationship between himself and Emperor Liu Xie is still very good, and he can be called a friend of Emperor Liu Xie. In the eyes of others, this matter may be putting gold on his face, but for people like Xun Yu and Guo Jia who know the situation, Lu Ren's words are really not nonsense. Let's not talk about anything else, how much of a crime was it for Lu Ren to trespass into the palace in the first place? But Emperor Liu Xie not only did not pursue it, but also lent the ice cellar to Lu Ren to preserve Wan'er's body for several days, which is enough to show that the friendship between Emperor Liu Xie and Lu Ren is not a joke. Now that Lu Ren has sent ambergris, it is somewhat of a way to repay Emperor Liu Xie.
However, Xun Yu and Guo Jia are both smart people, and they both vaguely feel that Lu Ren's move is definitely not as simple as he said in his letter, but now they don't know what Lu Ren wants to do with such a hand. As for asking Zhao Yu, then there is no need, you can guess that a little girl like Zhao Yu is unlikely to know the true thoughts of Lu Ren. In other words, Zhao Yu just ran errands, how could he know too much?
Looking at Xun Yu carefully, he put away this small box of ambergris, although he was talking to Zhao Yu in his mouth, he was obviously a little unable to sit still. Seriously, if Xun Yu hadn't been concerned about Zhao Yu's current situation, he would have wanted to take Zhao Yu to the palace immediately, and then formally and ceremoniously present this small box of ambergris to Emperor Liu Xie.
After thinking about it again, Xun Yu asked Guo Jia for a paper slip, not only wrote a letter back to Lu Ren, but also wrote something similar to a pass letter to Zhao Yu. In this way, if Zhao Yu is recognized by someone else, as long as he doesn't run into Cao Cao, Zhao Yu can leave Xuchang unharmed with Xun Yu's handwriting.
Zhao Yu took Xun Yu's handwritten book neither humbly nor arrogantly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, Lu Ren said when he handed over this ambergris to Zhao Yu that if Zhao Yu leaked his whereabouts, he would quickly take out this ambergris. As long as the things and letters were delivered to Xun Yu's hands, Zhao Yu would be able to get out safely if nothing happened.
In other words, Lu Ren also gave Zhao Yu an insurance. After all, Lu Ren has been mixed with Xun Yu for many years, and Lu Ren knows some messy things very well. However, Zhao Yu would run into Guo Jia's incident, but it was definitely unexpected by Lu Ren, who would have thought that Zhao Yu would be so back, and he could meet these two when he came out to go shopping?
After a mess of politeness and advice, Xun Yu was in a hurry to go into the palace to send things, and Guo Jia personally sent Zhao Yu on the way back to Fuyouyishe. And after walking out of the road for a while, Guo Jia suddenly asked Zhao Yu: "Yu girl, is overseas Yizhou really a peaceful and undisturbed place?" ”
Zhao Yu nodded. What should be said and what should be introduced has already been said before, and there is no need to introduce it again. What's more, if he said something more, Zhao Yu would have to worry about whether Guo Jia would hear something wrong.
Guo Jia stared at Zhao Yu for a while, staring at Zhao Yu so much that he felt a little hairy in his heart, then he smiled and waved his hand again: "Now it seems that that kid Yihao is really living at ease in Yizhou, much better than what I have worked hard here." The only pity is that it is a pity for his talent...... Rain girl, when you go back, tell him, and say that I am going to send Yi'er (Guo Yi, Guo Jia's son) to his side to study. Let me tell him again, the original thing was that I was sorry for him, but I was also helpless, after all, I am a courtier, and there are some things that I have to do. But if he still remembers some of the old friendships, help me teach Yi'er well. ”
Zhao Yu was stunned: "Huh? This, this ......"
Guo Jia waved his hand: "You go back to Yishe first, I will send a letter later, let Yihao that kid read the letter himself and then make a decision, you just need to help me bring the letter to him." ”
“…… All right. ”
Zhao Yu left quickly, but Guo Jia frowned and looked up at the sky again, and said secretly in his heart: "What do you want to do this kid?" I hope you are just ...... as you say in your letter" (To be continued.) )
