Chapter 413: Labor Life, Candle Night

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became angry about this issue, not to mention that Xu Xun was taken aback, even Liu Jin, who took the opportunity of passing on the decree, originally wanted to have a happy drink, but was shocked by the little emperor's forced in, internal officials and eunuchs who broke the matter. And Zhu Houzhao saw that Xu Xun didn't answer with an embarrassed face, remembering that today was a big day, and he saved some face, so he scolded Liu Jin, Liu Jin thought about it, and tiptoed out with a smiling face.

As soon as Liu Jin went out, Xu Xun's embarrassment was gone. He first invited Zhu Houzhao to sit down, and then explained in a low voice: "The emperor doesn't know that I made such a big storm like turning over the river and the sea before, and I politely declined the people who wanted to come, lest when I leave Beijing, they will become the target of the public." Whether it's Zhang Cai or Xu Zhenqing, they all sent me congratulatory gifts, that is, Wang Shouren and Xie Dasicheng, they didn't leave behind in private congratulations and gifts, even Yang Yiqing congratulated him when he wrote a letter, and I asked them not to come to drink this cup of wine. They didn't come at this time, and when it came to the outside, others had to say that they wanted to cut off my robes and draw a clear line, so that those old adults would be proud for a while. ”

"Dare to love, this is your intention!" Zhu Houzhao thought about the scene he had just chosen, and his teeth itched with hatred for a while, "I still wonder if I promoted a group of white-eyed wolves, and the crux of the trouble is actually on you!" ”

"It's good that the emperor knows, when he goes out of this door, the minister won't admit it. The minister can only sigh, but he can only sigh that he was sincere to people in the past, but now he has no one who even comes to the door. Xu Xun deliberately showed his innocent face, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao really couldn't help grinning, he said with a smile, "Besides, the emperor doesn't want to think about it, if others don't come, how could Xu Zhenqing and the others not come?" Not to mention that Tang Yin is now the minister's guest, even if the minister helped him at the beginning, he will not be like this. Zhu Zhishan and Wen Zhengming returned to Suzhou before the Chinese New Year, and the congratulatory gift was said to have been prepared by the two of them. ”

Under Xu Xun's words, Zhu Houzhao's attention was really turned to another direction: "What did they send you?" ”

"A picture of the Spring Palace." Xu Xun saw Zhu Houzhao's mouth open wide all of a sudden, he remembered that when he received the congratulatory gift sent early from Tang Yin yesterday, the situation was not much better, he couldn't help but smile, and then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "And according to their research by the four great talents of Gusu, this spring palace map is the handwriting of Emperor Daojun of the Northern Song Dynasty." ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were round for a while. He is not an emperor who is obsessed with calligraphy and painting and loves poetry, but even so, how could he not know that Song Huizong, the merry son of the famous Li Shishi, was obsessed with the famous Li Shishi. For the intoxication of calligraphy and painting and love of poetry, he does not expect to be able to match it in this life, and he also sneers at the latter one.

If you like it, you should marry into the palace, what kind of pie is it to hide and sneak around, and you don't take responsibility!

However, he still admired Tang Yin's beauty picture, and Xu Xun's words really aroused his infinite interest. After staring at Xu Xun for a long time, he said seriously: "You and Sister Shen will suffer this congratulatory gift for a while, and when I get married, you give me the things as they are, and I will forgive you for today's trick!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, obey! It's just that what the minister said to the emperor today, please ask the emperor to know for himself, and don't leak the rumors, lest this trick be unsuccessful. ”

"Hmph, I still need you to teach? After returning to the palace, I had to get angry again. ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Xu Xun obliquely, stood up and tidied up the hem of his robe, and was about to stride out with his head held high, when he suddenly realized that he came over in the white dragon fish suit today, and there was another thing besides Daohe, so he hurriedly buttoned the black gauze hat on his head, and then looked at Xu Xun with a straight face: "I was dizzy with three words to you, and I almost forgot about the serious thing." The matter of Guozijian was sent to you because I wanted you to go down to the south of the Yangtze River. Aren't those bosses always looking for you, you did such a great thing back then, and now of course you have to show off! However, this is only the reason for the superficial situation, and I want you to check the money customs on the canal. There are more than 10 banknotes on the canal, but there are only more than 100,000 taels of silver handed over to the court all year round, which is simply too little! ”

Dare to love yourself for not going to Jiangnan for a honeymoon this time?

Seeing Xu Xun's stunned face, Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "All in all, you have to work hard for me when you go to Jiangnan, don't think about hugging the beauty...... I'm leaving, don't disturb you and Sister Shen's cave room! ”

In Liu Jin's eyes, he saw Zhu Houzhao angrily leaving Xu Xun to speak, but after a while, he came out triumphantly with his hands behind his back, and there was a little jealousy in addition to surprise. Even Qin Hou and Zhu Hou are like him, but they are not sure that they can coax the little emperor so happy in a short time, and Xu Xun's hand is really jaw-dropping. Fortunately, he used a small trick to send people out of the capital for a while, and now Xu Xun can't compete with him for a few months, and when Xu Xun comes back, the situation should be decided...... The great joy of the son came to such a will, there are people who have a heart in their hearts, but there are many people who have no bottom in their hearts, and some people even talk about what Xinghe is there in private. Almost all of them were martial artists today, and after a while, the location of this Xinghe and even the surrounding situation spread, and the officers of the avant-garde of the government army were many young people after all, and they immediately jumped up.

"How can there be such a reward, the emperor must have deceived someone!"

The indignant Qian Ning couldn't shout too loudly because of the nobles around him, but after pulling his colleagues and subordinates out of the wedding shed, he had to shout. Seeing that the people around him were really indignant, he said without hesitation: "Let's go, let's go back to Xiyuan and ask to see the emperor!" Since this great joy has given us adults a reward, how can we not be so stingy......"

"What a stinginess!"

Xu Xun, who happened to send Zhu Houzhao and his party back from outside, heard Qian Ning's loud voice as soon as he entered the door, and immediately lowered his face and scolded. Seeing that these subordinates were all quiet all of a sudden, while saluting in unison, their faces were full of resentment, and he immediately looked at Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang inside. Seeing that these two genuine noble disciples were a little embarrassed, he knew that because of his previous strict orders, neither of them showed his words, and he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"The thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, you adults and I can have today's trust and promotion by the emperor, how can you get a reward and pick and choose? All go back and sit down for me, who dares to make trouble when I leave Beijing? ”

He set up the avant-garde frame of the government army, and almost all of the officers were recommended by him, so this four-word decision of deep authority is not false at all. At this moment, he stared at him, and a group of young officers were all like mice seeing cats, and they all agreed not to mention it, and even Qian Ning, who was now the highest in rank and had just shouted the most, also died down. When he was about to retire, Xu Xun left behind a few of his most trusted people.

"Qian Ning, Ma Qiao, you two are one and the same, don't be sloppy in the slightest in practice and other things. It will not be less for the emperor to practice riding and archery in Xiyuan, so you must pay attention to it everywhere. It's okay to show your face, but if you make a mistake, you're giving someone a handle, you know? ”

"Humble duty understands!"

After instructing this sentence, seeing that the two of them obviously understood, Xu Xun sent them down, and then looked at the three people who were left, Cao Mi and Xu Yanche Qi Jiliang. Speaking of which, Ma Qiao and Qian Ning are both in their early thirties, after all, they are a little sophisticated and sleek, so with these three boys, he relaxed and no longer held the shelf.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old fledgling and ambitious young men are easy to flirt with and handle, plus they have a deep background behind them, it is easier and more convenient for them to do things than supporting ordinary officers, and the probability of success is much greater!

"The three of you are here because of the MIA." Speaking of this title, Xu Xun was still a little awkward in his heart. But since Zhu Houzhao said it according to Chrysostom, he could only admit it even if he was awkward. Seeing that Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche were full of understanding, but they both glanced at Cao Mi with their eyes, he said lightly, "There is no precedent for this military intelligence bureau, and it is not easy to set up any officials now." Cao Mi had risen to a thousand households before, so he took the lead for the time being, and first set up points in Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, and three places. ”

As soon as the words fell, he really saw Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche change color. He also ignored this for the time being, looked at Cao Mi and said, "Cao Mi, you go back first and take care of the hundred people under your command, Ming said...... Well, come and see me in the afternoon. ”

Waiting for Cao Mi to salute excitedly and retreat, he beckoned to Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche, but as the groom's official very irresponsibly, he left the confused guests in the hall to deal with his father, and took the person straight to the study. As soon as he sat down, he said bluntly: "Why, but you think that you have worked so hard for so long in front of you, but you have picked peaches for outsiders?" ”

Although they were full of resentment, Xu Xun really asked, and the two of them remembered the lessons of the past, but they both lowered their heads and said they didn't dare. Xu Xun knew that both of them were bold, so he smiled and said lightly: "If it were me, I had been blowing a cold wind like a knife outside for a few months, running back and forth in the rain and snow, and in the end it was such an ending, and I would also feel resentful." I can tell you that now this military intelligence bureau is just a sentence from the mouth of the emperor, if it is really according to the usual example, do you want to be a petty official with only nine grades like the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry and Ordnance Bureau? ”

Speaking of which, Qi Jiliang finally couldn't help but ask, "Then ...... what do you mean?"

"Cao Mi's father is the deputy chief soldier of Yansui, plus I have some friendship with Zhang Jun, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Zhuang Jian, the chief soldier of Datong, and the stalls in these three places can be spread up lightly and skillfully. And his identity is not as eye-catching as the two of you, and no matter how you look at it, he is not my closest person, so it is not easy to attract attention. And let him attract attention, and the two of you have already reported to the emperor, are you afraid that someone will take the credit? There is no end to the things that have been done in these years, and you have more important things to do! ”

As he expected, the two teenagers who were still unconvinced just now immediately stood up straight as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Heh......"

It was already late, and the reason had long since passed the night ban, but Wu'anhou Hutong was still brightly lit. Xu Liang, who was standing at the gate to see those guests leave, heard the yawn next to him, and seeing Xu Xun's sleepiness on his face, he couldn't help but glance at this kid, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's all at this time, you have enough energy to support it!" ”

"I also want to be mentally supportive, but who doesn't let people give me this opportunity?"

Xu Xun sighed innocently, and seeing that the rest were already insignificant guests, he snapped his fingers and said to Xu Liangshu, "Liu Jin took the emperor up to make a fuss, followed by those boys in the avant-garde of the government army and made another fuss for me, and then the British Duke and the Duke of Dingguo also pulled me to ask questions and ask me, coping with this and that, I haven't stepped into the new house for half a step, this is the most important thing in life, I am still working hard, I am really a hard worker!" ”

"You kid!" Xu Liang saw Xu Xun's pitiful appearance, and finally scolded with a smile angrily, "Okay, okay, don't you just want to go back to the room to meet your daughter-in-law, don't you yawn here and pretend to be here, get out!" ”

"Ah, thank you Daddy!"

Xu Xun's sleepy appearance disappeared without a trace immediately, and he bowed and turned around and slipped away. Seeing that he was walking quickly and quickly, Xu Liang was stunned for a long time before he knew that he had fallen for this kid's thief again, and he immediately laughed dumbly. When the last few guests left said goodbye, they couldn't help but flatter him and so on, he coped with a smile on his face, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings.

Even if Nanjing is not his hometown, after all, it is the place where he has lived for decades, this trip can really return to his hometown in fine clothes, and Shun Shun should be buried his wife back to Beijing, and he will not have much to worry about in his life.

Xu Xun's new house is located in his own courtyard, in order to please the mouth, the fiancΓ© and his wife also thought about the name for a while, and finally came up with a fitting name before the dowry came in - Lingxi Yuan - take the natural body without colorful phoenix wings, the heart has the meaning of Lingxi. At this moment, he ran into the courtyard in three steps and two steps, and there was already a sharp-eyed girl who went back to the room to report to the young grandmother, so as soon as Xu Xun lifted the curtain and entered the new house, he was greeted by a large cloud of colored crumbs.

At that moment, he even had the illusion that he would be haunted by someone in the later life, and only the person who threw the things changed from a heckler to a bride.

Shen Yue had already replaced the heavy and inconvenient phoenix crown Xia veil. She never thought that she had just taken off her makeup and coat, and before she had time to use some snacks and saliva to pad her stomach, she encountered a decree from the palace and had to dress up urgently and go out to receive the decree. This time she went out and came back, but there were also many female relatives who rushed over from the Shen family, such as Mrs. Shouninghou, who thought she was close, she couldn't hide, until a quarter of an hour ago when everyone left, and then drank a bowl of sweet soup to relieve her breath.

"You're finally back! This is a big joy, I heard that you dealt with Liu's father-in-law and them, and you dragged someone to the study to secretly discuss what important matters? ”

Xu Xun knew that it was easy for the family to have a housewife, and some of them were in a hurry to take refuge, so he was not the slightest surprise that Shen Yue was well-informed, and at this moment, he sat down next to someone and smiled: "What, are you in a hurry, or are you jealous?" ”

"Eat you big-headed ghost, I don't think there are enough gossips outside!" Shen Yue waved her small fist and smashed it twice on Xu Xun's back as if demonstrating, but the force was as light as if tickling, seeing that Ruyi had slipped out of the house quickly at this moment, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and said, "I can't bear to toss those rules and etiquette like this, you, the groom, have also been manipulated back and forth since a few days ago, and it's too hard to take care of outside affairs......"

Although he had just sighed to his father that he was working hard, but at this time, his wife said such a sentence distressedly beside him, Xu Xun still couldn't help but iron in his heart, and grabbed her shoulder and smiled lowly: "There is a lady who feels sorry for me, and I am not afraid of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, no matter how hard and tired I am, I am as happy as I am." ”

"Flim Flam...... You've never been in shape! ”

Thinking that the two of them would depend on each other for a lifetime from meeting and acquaintance to staying together for the rest of their lives, Shen Yue unconsciously leaned on his arms, and after a while, he said in a confused voice: "De Rong's Yangong, I am not the best in these four things, what wisdom and cleverness, I can't take it, it's ridiculous to say, I grew up, the biggest is nothing else, only courage...... But in the future, if I follow you, I don't need to let go anymore......"

"If a man can't shelter a woman from the wind and rain, but wants her to think hard all the time, then this man is too incompetent!" Xu Xun interrupted her words with a smile, let go of some hands, and immediately held the little face that had all her makeup removed, like a hibiscus in Qingshui, and then said affectionately, "There are many kinds of virtuous helpers, not the kind you think is a good wife." When I was embattled, the stupid girl who pretended to be a girl to see me, but every time she reported the news, she was half a beat late, and she didn't come to discuss with a man in the face of a desperate situation, but she went to jump into the river in a boat, was the person I wanted. ”

"You...... You fool! ”

Shen Yue was ashamed and annoyed for a while when she heard Xu Xun expose her shortcomings like the same, but when she heard the last sentence, she only felt as if the whole person was going to melt away, snuggled up to his arms along his hand, let him pull off the hairpin on his head, let him stroke his long black and smooth hair, and let his hand gently fall on her collar. However, when the skin on her neck touched his hot palm, she only felt that her whole body was hot all of a sudden, and she struggled to shrink back, and the green hair fell on her chest at once. Facing Xu Xun's ** eyes, she stammered for a long time.

"In accordance with ...... That rule, I should ...... I serve you. ”

Seeing that the little girl had said such a sentence for a long time, Xu Xun almost laughed, and even deliberately stretched out his hands. Sure enough, in the face of his posture, the little girl's face turned even redder, and her hands trembled for a long time, but she couldn't unbutton his blouse. At this time, he finally couldn't help laughing, grabbed her hand, and kissed the red lips that were getting more and more delicate. However, just as he fumbled to untie his clothes and throw them on the ground, and was about to untie her belt, a sudden sound of obscurity came from the room.

"What's the sound, is there someone still hiding in the house, or is there a mouse?" ”

Seeing that Shen Yue, who was still red-faced and red-eared and confused just now, suddenly pushed him away, and then looked around angrily, Xu Xun only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and at this time, his stomach screamed again. At this time, Shen Yue realized what voice he had just heard, and he wanted to laugh but felt that it was inappropriate, so he said after a while: "Why don't I let Ruyi go to the kitchen to give you a bowl of noodles to eat?" ”

Xu Xun raised his eyebrows and groaned, and only after a long time did he cough dryly: "It's okay...... But you give me a bite to eat first! ”

Shen Yue didn't expect Xu Xun to make such a move after thinking about it for a long time, but the whole person fell heavily on the bed according to his movements. The wooden bed creaked as if it were overwhelmed, and she herself was no better, and she also exclaimed, but her mouth was sealed by a scorching breath, and the second half of what she wanted to say was blocked.

She only felt that someone untied her little clothes and threw them out of bed, rubbing the newly made red silk belly pocket on her chest, and finally leaned into it, first holding the plump and soft ball, and then gently kneading the top bud. She only felt that her whole body was hot, and she couldn't remember what was drawn in the spring palace picture that Ruyi blushed and stuffed into her.

Grandmother, mother and sister-in-law are not around, the godmother suddenly disappeared for so long and didn't even dare to show her face, but it turned out to be a secret knot from her own pearl fetus, God knows what happened between her men and women, or just a little bit of a star ...... those paintings, "Yue'er, look at this ......"

She heard a soft voice in her ears, the heat made her ears and neck hot and itchy, and she finally opened her eyes and looked over, but she was dumbfounded when she looked at it. Compared with the spring palace painting that Ruyi gave her with good but subtle actions, this one's painting is more sophisticated, but the action is much bolder. She instinctively wanted to turn her head away from looking, but unexpectedly, Xu Xun was stopped by her, and the inducement in her ears was even louder.

"What are you ashamed of, this is a good thing that is hard to buy, regardless of whether it is the handwriting of the Emperor Daojun of the Northern Song Dynasty, let's verify in person whether he painted this thing correctly." Xu Xun flipped through the album with one hand, but the other hand had already penetrated into her most important place, so that she couldn't tighten her legs, but she continued to coax softly, "Do you want a son or a daughter in the future?" For the first time, the relationship between a man and a woman is the most important......"

Using the means he used to fool others to coax his wife, Xu Xun naturally let the little girl open her eyes and look at the spring palace map in a moment, and even half-pushed and half-followed herself in a pose. Knowing that she was still the first time, Xu Xun would not be too reluctant. Xiao Yi kept warm for a long time, and when he untied the last belly pocket and slowly rubbed his fingers over the smooth back, he gently pushed into the already wet secret place, and sure enough, an irrepressible moan came from his ears.

"Xu Xun ......"

Hearing the cry that followed, he moved his head closer, and the tiny kiss fell from her forehead, which oozed fine beads of sweat, to the tip of her nose, and to her red cheeks, and her rosy lips, and then to her white jade neck. Seeing that the body that had just stiffened gradually softened, he turned around slightly, and although he heard a moan in his ears, it was no longer the original pure exhalation, he naturally took the opportunity to go a little deeper, and the tight rhythm brought a long-lost sense of comfort.

For the sake of this silly girl, he really endured it for too long!
