With the deterioration of the situation, the security situation in the imperial capital is getting worse and worse. The influx of a large number of displaced people made the Jinyi Army, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the soldiers and servants of Shuntian Mansion exhausted.

It was under these circumstances that the bus and carriage business in Jia Province had to cease operations.

The masters of Jiafu are gone, and Nan'er, who has been in charge of the bus and carriage business, has become his own master.

All the carriages were taken back to the lower depression, and most of the coachmen, men, and grooms were sent home.

At present, only a few vehicles and horses remain, and they remain in the lower depression. Nan'er left a few people behind, feeding the horses while guarding the houses in the lower depressions.

When he was idle, Nan'er went to Yeduju, and with Zhang Decai and Liu Fushan, who had been staying there, they drank wine, chatted, and drank tea, while reminiscing about the old days.

Talk every day, and there is a time when the words are exhausted. At this time, they will walk around in Nodoju. Or go to the official road outside the door and watch the passers-by.

Every now and then, they can't help but have some fantasies in their hearts, hoping to see some acquaintance. Especially acquaintances who have stayed in Nodo Curie.

Of course, it would be better if you could see Chief Min.

Although they knew that this was an extravagant hope, the thought was always on their minds.

The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let them wait for an acquaintance.

Although they are not Chief Min, these two people can be regarded as old acquaintances of Yeduju.

This is Dai Quan, a scholar of Ji University and a great eunuch.

Nan'er was originally a scholar of Scholar Ji, and she was naturally no stranger to Scholar Ji.

Dai Quan is also an old friend of Jia Min, when he was in the palace, Nan'er and even later Zhang Decai and others often sent him wine.

Therefore, as soon as they saw the two of them coming, several people immediately greeted them warmly.

"Scholar Ji, Grandpa Dai, it's really you, it's really good, please come in quickly."

"It's good that you're still here, and we're worried that we won't find you."

Scholar Ji's expression was a little sluggish, but at this moment, he was obviously excited.

"I'll just say they'll be here, you still don't believe it, what's the matter, I'm right."

Dai Quan said with some smugness.

"Commander Min told us to stay here, where will we leave? We're going to have to wait for Chief Min to come back. ”

Zhang Decai led the two in front and entered the original Jia Min's office.

"Chief Min's office is still here, and he will come back sooner or later."

Ji Mingluan looked at this room, the windows were bright and clean, and all the objects were spotless, obviously, because of frequent cleaning and wiping.

"Is there anyone else in Jia Mansion here?"

Ji Mingluan took a sip of tea and asked slowly.

"No one has been here for a long time. The masters are gone, and only some of the subordinates are left to look after the house. We don't have much to do with them now. ”

"Has His Highness Chang'an ever been here?"

"I haven't been here for over a year. Now she is training in Xishan. ”

"To tell you the truth, Jinling is already called the Three Domains, so we came here. Now it's inconvenient to go into the city, we want to live here for some time, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"Senior Ji is polite, this is your house, and now there are just a few of us, and we are panicking, you can live and ask for it. Food and accommodation, although rest assured, everything is arranged by us. You can stay in peace, for as long as you want. ”

Zhang Decai was the first to express his position.

"yes, it's so big and it's quiet. Just stay here. As for usage, don't worry. Min Siye's bus and carriage business, there is still some money with us. Not to mention the two of you, even dozens or hundreds of people, we can afford it. ”

"Yes, both of them are close friends of Chief Min, and the winery here has always made money, and they can't eat enough of us."

"That's fine, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, we came here, and we met robbers on the road, and the entanglements were robbed. Fortunately, the robber still had a little conscience, and finally left money for food, and he made it all the way here. ”

In fact, there is no need for Scholar Ji to say, Nan'er and the others have long seen the embarrassment of the two.

Both of them were originally high-ranking and powerful people, but this time, not only did they not have a single entourage, but they also didn't see the carriages and horses.

"Don't worry, two adults, just stay here. In the future, if you go elsewhere and use it or something, it will naturally be arranged by us. Please go to the house to rest and wash up first, and here we will arrange food and drink, and we will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two adults for a while. ”

As he spoke, Liu Fushan led Ji Mingluan and Dai Quan to the room, and then boiled water for the two and told them to take a bath.

The two of them have been in the dust all the way, and they are not polite when they get here, so everything is arranged with them.

When I returned to my room after taking a shower, I saw a change of clothes on the bed. Although it is not new, there are also seven or eight percent new, and they are all clean and tidy.

Next to the clothes, there were 20 taels of silver. Both are the same.

While the two were discussing, Nan'er came in.

"If the two adults are ready, please come over and have a drink."

"Nan'er, thank you again."

"Master Ji doesn't have to be polite, I was originally your scholar, and you were also very good to me back then. I'd love to do something for you now. ”

"The bus and carriage business has stopped. The vehicles and horses are all in the lower depression. In the afternoon, I will invite two adults to go with me, one person chooses a car, two horses, and it will be more convenient to travel in the future, anyway, the carriage and horses are idle there, but they can come in handy. ”

"I'll wear these clothes first, and I'll go into the city in the afternoon to buy some new ones. If you want to go out and do something, we can also accompany you for you to drive. ”

"There are really some things, we have to go to Xishan to find His Royal Highness Chang'an."

"I will accompany you with Zhang Decai, he has a life-saving grace for His Royal Highness Chang'an, and he is very familiar with His Highness."

"It's even better that way."

After settling down in Yedu Curie, Ji Mingluan and Dai Quan relaxed. I met an old acquaintance here, and the other party was extremely enthusiastic about the two of them, so he let go of drinking. In addition, Nan'er and Zhang Decai tried their best to persuade each other, so they inevitably drank more.

After eating and drinking, I felt tired after running all the way, so I went to sleep with peace of mind.

When I woke up, it was almost dark.

When I went out, there were already two more carriages in the yard, and it turned out that Nan'er had already brought the carriages and horses here from Xiawazi.

Seeing that the two of them woke up, Nan'er sent the newly bought clothes. So in the evening they continued to eat and drink.

After sleeping until dawn all night, getting up and having a hasty meal, Ji Mingluan, Dai Quan, Nan'er and Zhang Decai rode to the camp in Xishan.

Hearing that Ji Mingluan and Dai Quan were coming, Chang'an soon came out to greet him in person. As soon as he saw Dai Quan, he only shouted: Father-in-law Dai, tears came down.

Chang'an has been taken care of by Dai Quan since he was a child, Dai Quan watched Chang'an grow up, he actually has a deep affection for Chang'an, and when he saw Chang'an, he couldn't help crying.

The two cried, which provoked Ji Mingluan, Zhang Decai, Nan'er, Lichun, and Zuo Linliang to cry on the side.

"Your Highness, let's go inside and talk."

As soon as Zuo Linliang said this, Chang'an stopped crying.

"I was excited for a while, and I was a little out of order. Please speak inside. ”

"It's okay, Grandpa Dai and I are here to find His Highness for something."

So he went inside.

Seeing that Ji Mingluan said that he had something to do with Chang'an, Nan'er and Zhang Decai didn't enter the house in a funny way, and talked with Lichun outside.

In the house, Chang'an, Ji Mingluan, and Dai Quan sat down, and Chang'an spoke.

"Why did Father-in-law Dai leave suddenly, without saying goodbye, but telling me to be easy to find, and asked many people, but I don't know where my father-in-law went."

"Your Highness, it's not the old slave who wants to leave like this, it's really the old slave who obeys the will of the previous emperor and does this."

"Father's will? You mean, your father told you to leave? ”

"Yes, before the death of the first emperor, he had arranged for the future. After he left, he asked the old slave to carry his imperial pen and go to Scholar Ji. Therefore, in order not to let others know, the old slave said goodbye without saying goodbye and went to Jinling to find Scholar Ji. ”

"Your Royal Highness, what Father-in-law Dai said is true, it is indeed the imperial pen of the former emperor."

"What did my father write, can you tell me more easily?"

"Your Highness, we are here for this purpose. The emperor's imperial pen is here, and His Royal Highness is invited to take a look. ”

Ji Mingluan took out a yellow silk from his arms and handed it to Chang'an.

Chang'an was stunned at first, then regained his composure, and then continued to read. I watched it several times in quick succession, then sighed, and then seemed happy again. Then he sighed again.

When he finally stood up, his face turned a little red.

"How could my father arrange this? I'm afraid there is something wrong with this, he, he, he already has a marriage contract. Where does this leave me? ”

Lichun came in to pour tea, and saw that the yellow silk on the case was the royal thing, so he took a look at it by the way.

When I look at this, I can't help but be surprised.

I saw that it read: "To Shi Taijun of Rongguofu: Zao Wou-Ki married his beloved daughter Zhao Wudie to Jia Min Jia Huaiyuan, the grandson of Rongguo Gong, not seeking glory and wealth, but only never leaving and living a safe life." ”

Although Lichun was surprised, she was the one who had experienced a big scene, so she pretended not to see it, poured tea, and quietly withdrew.

After going out a little calm, I carefully considered the matter.

She recognized it at a glance, it was the imperial pen of the former emperor.

Zao Wou-Ki is the name of the former emperor.

The beloved daughter Zhao Wudie is the princess of Chang'an.

The emperor actually married His Royal Highness to Jia Min as his wife.

Looking at the date, it was the day not long before the death of the emperor.

Regarding Chang'an's feelings for Jia Min, Lichun is actually clear. However, she has never been optimistic about this relationship.

Jia Min has never been treated by the royal family, and there is already a marriage contract, so Lichun never thought that Chang'an would get together with Jia Min.

It's just that there is one thing that she didn't expect, and the emperor's feelings for Chang'an are also clear.

Before he died, he left such a suicide note.

Although the emperor was no longer in charge of government before his death, after all, he was still the emperor in name only. It stands to reason that this imperial pen can become an edict.

Normal wording, at least, should be: I gave Princess Chang'an to Jia Min as his wife.

In that case, Jia Min is a concubine, and the princess is naturally the wife. Even Jia Min had a marriage contract before, and he had to cancel it and give up his wife's position to Chang'an.

Now in this marriage book, the former emperor has put down his figure, calling himself Zao Wou-ki, not talking about marriage, only talking about marriage, not seeking glory and wealth, but only wanting to never abandon Chang'an and live a safe life. The marriage letter was written to the old lady of Jiafu, who was the head of Jiafu.

This shows that the emperor only married his daughter to Jia Min as an elder.

This is actually no different from the folk marrying a daughter.

It can be seen from this that the emperor had foreseen today's rebellion against the three feudatories and the inability to reverse the situation today, so he made such arrangements for Chang'an.

However, Jia Min is already engaged to Miss Xue, and the emperor has promised Chang'an to him, what will he do?
