Chapter 375: Great Harvest
In the mansion of Zhang Juzheng, the first auxiliary emperor, the middle door with vermilion lacquer and copper nails was opened, and Zhang Xiangye personally sent Qin Lin to the door.
Qin Lin turned around and slammed it to the ground, Zhang Ju arched his hand expressionlessly, and turned back.
On the surface, the two didn't say anything, but in fact, everything was already silent, the middle door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was easily not opened, Zhang Juzheng was authoritative, and he didn't often send people out in person, Qin Lin only made a long bow and Zhang Xiangye returned the salute, which was not at all a courtesy for his sons and nephews, and he was faintly regarded as a prince.
And Zhang Xiangye kept a straight face from beginning to end, and he didn't see how affectionate he was to Qin Lin, and he came to a conclusion in the eyes of those who cared about it: Zhang Juzheng was treating this Qin commander, neither a nephew nor a subordinate of a subordinate bureaucracy, and was closer to an ally in the political arena.
How can Qin Lin be virtuous? Although he has the upper hand, he has a faint tendency to fight against Gangneung Xiangguo!
Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the court, and the power of the world was unmatched, and the factory guards naturally did not dare to send secret agents to his house, but in the teahouse restaurant across the street from Xiangfu, there were many people sitting here for many years, and their eyes kept staring at the vermilion lacquer gate.
Soon, the scene of Zhang Xiangye personally sending Qin to command would be reported to their master through the mouths of Dongchang Fanzi, Jinyi spies and others, triggering countless speculations and associations...... Qin Lin rode on the snow-stepping black horse that Niu vigorously led, and looked condescendingly towards the teahouse and restaurant across the street, and the eyes of a few people who had always been paying attention to this side quickly converged, and vaguely several figures hurried away.
This is what he wants, Qin Lin smiled slightly when he saw this.
He has long known that Feng Bao is both internal and external, and greed is prosperous, which has aroused Zhang Juzheng's dissatisfaction, so Zhang Xiangye must endorse himself in teaching Feng Bao a lesson, but Xiangye's so-called "division and resistance" attitude is really not enough for outsiders: Chief Qin enjoys the blessings of Qi people, and only has the position of a flat wife left, and he always wants to beat his daughter's idea, so it's strange that Xiangye's face can be good-looking!
"Old Taishan, old Taishan, Miss Zhang has thrown the hydrangea, you always have to beat the mandarin duck, Xiaosheng, I have to deceive Miss Xu~~" Qin Lin shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in the West Chamber heard such shameless self-talk, and they were afraid that they would die headlong - there are thousands of talented and beautiful women in the world, how can there be one like our Chief Qin?
It was noon, Qin Lin took Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali to eat a big meal at the two semicolons of the cheap shop at the entrance of the pig market, and talked about all the important things with the two henchmen.
The fat mung bean stared at the boss, and said while gnawing on the duck shelf: "Find the treasure for the eldest princess, win the favor of the Empress Dowager Li, teach Feng Bao a lesson, beat Feng Bangning, and finally ask Zhang Xiangye to endorse, Brother Qin, you did a solid job on this errand!" ”
Niu Dali's mouth was stuffed with lotus leaf cakes wrapped in duck meat, green onions and sweet noodle sauce, Rao is his throat was thicker than the cow, and he choked and stretched his neck, and only after a while stared at the big eyes of the copper bell, a little regretful: "I often hear people say that Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the chief saw the queen mother, it must be very good, but it is a pity that this trip took a lot of effort, but the national treasure sealed by the first emperor was found by the eldest princess, and there is no credit of the chief." ”
Qin Lin shook his head, the fat man still has three points of knowledge, and the old cow is in the court bureau and officialdom, so it is completely seven tricks and six tricks - there is still one left who doesn't know anything!
The three of them were full of food and drink, left and right, rode horses and walked back slowly, looking at the east and west of the Jingshi, many people's roofs were covered with snow, and there were ice ridges hanging under the eaves, the scenery was very different from the south, and it was interesting to look at.
Suddenly, I heard the sword cheering in Nanjing's official dialect: "I found it, my uncle is here!" ”
Xu Xinyi wore a fire fox with something in his hand, rode a jade lion in the night, led a group of women's army, and ran over angrily.
Ahh Qin Lin suddenly remembered that Miss Xu had a rough idea of what she was doing when she entered the palace, and she must have been worried about it this morning, and she hadn't returned for a long time, so it was strange that she wasn't angry!
Miss Xu opened her apricot eyes and raised her willow eyebrows, she was originally frightened for Qin Lin, but she was happy to see him safe and happy, it can be seen that he looks like a good and wandering person, obviously he didn't go home immediately after leaving the palace, and he was angry when he landed.
I don't know how many thoughts have turned in my heart, just when Qin Lin thought that the eldest lady was going crazy in the next moment, she suddenly said softly: "Official, official, the first sunny day after the snow, the north wind is cold, and the concubine made a leopard skin jacket for you, so put it on?" ”
Damn, if something is abnormal, it is a demon, when has Miss Xu been so gentle like now? Qin Lin couldn't help but shudder, the secret thing was not good.
"This, forget this for the time being, it's not cold, it's not cold......" Qin Lin touched his nose in a daze, Miss Xu couldn't help but say, so she pulled Qin Lin off the horse, put the leopard skin jacket on him, and said gently: "It's the concubine who made it herself, don't dislike it!" ”
Qin Lin felt awkward when he wore it, it turned out that the left sleeve of this leopard skin jacket was low, the right sleeve was high, the front placket was three inches longer, and the back hem was five points shorter.
"Oops~ uh," Qin Lin wanted to take off his clothes, but Miss Xu had already clenched her silver teeth and clenched her fists so much that they crackled.
Helpless, Chief Qin had no choice but to endure when he met his wife, wearing the leopard skin robe that was not suitable from head to toe, and rode side by side with Miss Xu.
The squires and female soldiers had to laugh and hurt in their stomachs, and they still had to pretend to be serious on their faces, which was really hard; Niu Dali and Lu Fatzi gloated, and they didn't have the slightest awareness of being subordinates.
"Hey, eldest miss, look at me like this......" Qin Lin lifted the reins, approached Xu Xinyi, who was pouting, and said softly.
Miss Xu glanced at him, knowing that the clothes were not right, and couldn't help laughing: "Like a big horse monkey!" ”
"You are my wife, then you are a monkey, your husband is embarrassed, and your wife may not be so glorious."
"Hee-hee, Miss Ben, it's you big horse monkey!"
…… The two of them quarreled all the way and slowly walked to the door of the Huixian Inn.
But seeing that there were already many people waiting there, piling up a lot of things, and finding that Qin Lin had returned, they rushed up from afar.
"Chief Qin, congratulations!"
"The small one is the family of the celebrant Zhang Gonggong......"
"Chief Qin, the villain greets you for Xu Zhangxing!"
Qin Lin was so noisy by this group of people that he was impatient and simply yelled: "Shut up, come one by one!" Commander Hong, please speak first. ”
Commander Na Hong is a colleague who works with the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and with a group of thousands and hundreds of households here, he hurriedly bowed his waist and greeted: "Congratulations, sir!" Commander Feng suddenly reported his illness, and Liu Dudu, the head of the Jinyi Guard, has sent a commission, and you will be in charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division on behalf of the commissioner! ”
Most of the many brocade clothes officials were subordinate officials of the Fu Division of Nanzhen, and they immediately gave Qin Lin a court visit.
In addition to Liu Shouyou, who is in charge of the highest power of the whole guard, Jinyiwei has the greatest authority in the north and south towns, and the north town is the most powerful outside, and the edict prison prison is terrifying, while the south town is internal, and has the power to supervise the entire Jinyi system, which is an internal secret supervision organ, although the reputation is not very significant, the actual authority is quite powerful.
Qin Lin was able to take charge of the Nanzhen Fusi, although there was still a word "generation" on his head, and it would not take long to remove it.
Commander Hong's voice was very loud, and his waist was low: "Before the weak crown, he was promoted to the commander of the fourth grade Jinyi Guard, and the acting commander of the Nanzhen Fusi, and the chief of Qin was the most outstanding in the past two hundred years, and the lower officials admired it!" ”
"False praise, false praise," Qin Lin said politely, and asked the other groups of people what they did.
There are the sons sent by Xu Jue, who is in charge of the Dongchang Execution, Zhang Whale, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, the official supervisor of the Zhang, and the old family of Zhu Yingzhen, the Duke of Chengguo, each gave Qin Lin a thick gift, and the gift list was long.
Take Zhang Cheng, the celebrant of ceremonies, for example, he was also close to Qin Lin in the past, but because of Zhang Xiaoyang's relationship, whether it was a letter or a meeting, he regarded himself as a respected elder in and out of words.
But this time, the old family he sent was extremely polite, and on the note that came with the gift list, the tone had completely changed, and it was commensurate with Qin Lin's peers, saying that the little nephew Zhang Xiaoyang had been taken care of by Chief Qin in the past, and he was grateful.
Xu Xinyi's red and plump mouth was open enough to swallow a whole egg, and pulled Qin Lin to the side: "No, Dongchang Xu Jue doesn't deal with you, right?" And that Zhang Whale, didn't you beat his nephew Zhang Zunyao in Nanjing, I also helped you fight......"
Qin Lin knew that Xu Jue was actually sending gifts for Feng Bao, and there was no basis for his words, Feng Bao used this to show the sincerity of the well water not to interfere with the river water - I am afraid that Gonggong Feng's "sincerity" is so rich, and it is also closely related to what happened at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago.
Zhang Cheng's attitude has changed, from condescending to level-eyed, which has long been reasonable; And Zhang Whale has been in the palace for a long time, and he knows a little bit of the inside story of the Qingming Shanghe Tu, seeing that Feng Bao is still deflated, how can he not be touched in his heart? Ordering someone to give a gift is to reveal the past grievances with Qin Lin for his nephew.
However, in general, it is the most practical gift from Zhu Yingzhen, the Duke of Chengguo: a big mansion in Straw Hat Hutong!
The straw hat alley is not far from the north of Yangma Hutong where the Huixian Inn is located, and it is also very close to the Jinyi Wei Yamen.
Since Qin Lin moved, Xu Xinyi also asked himself what to do, Qin Lin waved his hand: "My wife doesn't live with me, and others still think that our husband and wife are separated?" ”
Miss Xu happily commanded the female soldiers to also move, and it took a busy afternoon to finish moving, wiping the sweat on her forehead, she suddenly remembered something, and sighed: "It's a pity that the Qingming Shanghe map was burned by Zhu Yingzhen, I heard my father say, this picture is a rare treasure comparable to the bright moon pearl and the family's bi!" ”
Come and come, Qin Lin took Xu Xinyi's hand, walked to the room that had just been cleaned up, closed the door, and took out an object of a certain length from his arms: "Wife, take a look, what is this?" ”
