Chapter 412: Uninvited
On the wet pipe, an old horse's nostrils were sprayed with a thin white mist pulling the equally dilapidated carriage to stagger, quite a bit of a burden. Although it is more than ten miles away from Lin'an City, there are not many pedestrians on the official road, and there are still people from all over the Great Song Dynasty who rush to Lin'an City, the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, with a pilgrimage-like mood.
From time to time, a small head poked out of the small window of the carriage and looked in the direction of Lin'an City, looking back at the innermost part that seemed to be still muttering something.
Yuan Fu, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, put down the book he was holding in his hand and said with a smile: "Qianshan, are you still reading?" Has anyone caught up? ”
"No, sir. Why do you think those people are such white-eyed wolves? When the lord was still in office, when was the house full of worship posts? There are so many people who come to apprentice, discuss knowledge, and visit people who have relationships, but now that the master has just resigned and is leaving Lin'an City, none of the students who call the master teacher every day have come to see off the master. Truly a pack of white-eyed wolves. ”
Qianshan angrily lowered the curtain and shouted.
"Alright, Thousand Mountains!" Yuan Fu heard Qianshan's words, and his rare face became serious, "The old man has now returned to his hometown, nominally to the old man, but in fact he was forced to resign, and now the old man is already an ominous person in the court, those scholars have been studying hard for decades, how can they delay the future of others because of the old man?"
Then the crown prince's canonization ceremony is imminent, you have also seen hundreds of people flocking towards Lin'an City, all kinds of things, the officials who are good friends with the old man in the court are afraid that the government affairs are complicated at this moment, the prince's canonization ceremony is related to my Great Song Sheji, the old man and his party will be the people of the wood, and they dare not delay such an important matter, it is good that they don't come, even if they come, the old man will scold them and go back. Not to mention that the old man left Lin'an City secretly and returned to his hometown this time, and he didn't notify anyone, so how could we arrange others behind our backs? ”
"A thousand mountains know their mistakes!"
Seeing that Yuan Fu was really a little angry, Qianshan hurriedly bowed down and admitted his mistake.
"The old man has long told you that the way of a gentleman ......"
"Old ...... Master! ”
As soon as Qianshan heard it, he knew that Yuan Fu was obviously going to preach again, and his little face had just become bitter, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and a middle-aged coachman with a somewhat trembling voice came from the front.
"Yuan Zhi, what's the matter? Why did the carriage stop? Yuan Fu had no choice but to stop preaching to Qianshan and frowned.
Yuan Fu was still talking here, Qianshan had already lifted the curtain and poked his little head out again, and after a short exclamation, Qianshan's poked out head retracted at a faster speed, with a look of horror on his face: "Master, let's go quickly." ”
"Why are you so flustered?" Yuan Fu said suspiciously, and wanted to lift the curtain as he spoke.
"Dare to ask Lord Yuan in the car?"
At this moment, a voice that was extremely familiar to Yuan Fu came from outside the carriage, making Yuan Fu's hand lift the curtain couldn't help but froze. This voice Yuan Fu was very familiar, and even some time before, when he heard this voice, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
Jia Rudao!
Yuan Fu thought about a lot of people he would meet when he left Lin'an City, but none of the people who should have appeared here now did not come, and the most unexpectedly and most unexpectedly person was standing outside the car. Yuan Fu was a little distracted for a while.
"Master, there are a lot of his people outside, let's go quickly." Qianshan, who had already poked his head out to see before, lowered his voice and whispered to Yuan Fu.
"In the car, Lord Yuan is in person? Jia took the liberty of coming to see the old man off. ”
Yuan Fu hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Jia Nidao's voice had come from outside the car again, waking Yuan Fu up.
Coming to give it a ride? Yuan Fu didn't know if this giving himself a ride was really giving himself a ride, or if he was really giving himself a ride. In fact, even if Qianshan didn't say that there were Jia Nidao's people outside, Yuan Fu could also detect it from the quiet atmosphere outside the carriage that Jia Nidao's men had emptied all the surroundings of the carriage.
Yuan Fu comfortingly patted Qianshan's hand holding his sleeve and signaled him not to worry.
"Master Jia has a heart."
As he spoke, Yuan Fu had already gotten up and lifted the curtain of the car.
Yuan Fu knew very well that no matter whether Jia Yidao was really trying to give himself a ride or another to give him a ride, no matter which one it was, he had no choice. Go, obviously, it is already impossible to go. Rather than making jokes, it is better to be honest, not to mention that Yuan Fu doesn't think that Jia Yidao will do anything that should not be done at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Lifting the curtain, the first thing Yuan Fu saw was Jia Nidao standing in front of the car with a smile on his face. Yuan Fu couldn't help but feel a little in a trance. Although time has passed at this moment, and two days have passed since the great court meeting that day, but the sharp-toothed young magnate who faced the fierce counterattack of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and was as merciless as a tiger at the court meeting that day, and the young man in front of him who was wearing a simple black satin robe and smiled and even had a somewhat restrained look, as if he was born next door, Yuan Fu couldn't tell which one was the real Jia Yidao for a while.
Laughing self-deprecatingly, Yuan Fu retracted some of the chaotic thoughts in his head, no matter which one is Jia Yidao's true colors, it has nothing to do with him anymore, if he says goodbye today, maybe the two of them will not have any chance to meet in this life. Thinking of tidying up, Yuan Fu was in a much calmer mood, leaning over and walking out of the carriage.
"Hey, my lord, beware of slippery roads."
Jia Rudao, who was waiting in front of the carriage, saw Yuan Fu get out of the car, and hurriedly took two steps forward to hold Yuan Fu.
Feeling the strong and powerful palm holding his arm, Yuan Fu's whole body couldn't help but stiffen, Jia Nidao's movements were so fast that Yuan Fu didn't have time to dodge at all, and he was already supported by Jia Nidao. After a short period of stiffness, Yuan Fu would come to his senses, knowing that it was too unkind to refuse Jia Yidao's support at this moment, not to mention that people had good intentions, so Yuan Fu also stepped out of the carriage.
Qianshan followed and got out of the carriage and stared at Jia Nidao with fierce eyes, but when Jia Nidao looked at him, he hurriedly looked away, obviously through all kinds of hearsay, this little scholar was already very afraid of Jia Nidao.
After getting out of the carriage, Yuan Fu found that most of the official roads were controlled in a strict and orderly manner by the brocade-clothed men who were far more than hundreds around, these big men had fierce and keen eyes, nervously scanning everyone passing by, and there were faint hard objects protruding from their waist bags while walking, but they did not take the initiative to drive away the pedestrians on the official road, and they did not even interrogate.
But even so, when the pedestrians on the official road saw such a group of people who were not easy to mess with at first glance, they all consciously restrained their voices and avoided the side of the official road and then left quickly.
What a big show!
Let the old man laugh, Jia didn't know who he had offended, for the sake of the head of the people, so he had to do this. They will definitely not disturb the people, and please be relieved of this. ”
Jia Yidao seemed to see what Yuan Fu was thinking, and explained with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.
"This is Master Jia's private matter, but there is no need to explain it to the old man."
Yuan Fu's words were a little stiff, obviously a little displeased with Jia Yidao's actions.
