Chapter 259: Return to the City
This time it was ordered to quell the chaos, and it was a thousand-mile expedition, which had little to do with Jinling or even the entire Jiangnan region, so the triumph of the army did not alarm the local people, and it was extremely low-key. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xu Huanting placed the army back to the camp outside the city, and gave the generals a ten-day long vacation, and then went into the city alone and returned home.
After more than two months on the expedition, the conditions in the army are quite poor, and it is good to say that Xu Huanting has a daughter's house, and taking a bath has become quite troublesome, and the water brought out has been used up before the halfway point. Along the way, only when the army crosses the river, can you bathe in water. She couldn't wait to go home and take a hot bath.
Jiang Yun already has seven sets of big arrays for her to set up, relatively speaking, Xu Huanting also has seventy percent of his whole body for him to explore in turn, this guy pinched his fingers and calculated, and he would never suffer half a small loss. There is a bit of ambiguity between the two, but they also stick to the bottom line.
After stepping out of the carriage, the two naturally returned to their usual state of getting along, without mentioning anything about the past. Xu Huanting returned to the Guogong Mansion, Jiang Yun had no relatives and no reason in Jinling City, and he was not used to staying in the camp, so after thinking about it, he decided to go back to his home first. I haven't returned for two months, so I should have accumulated a lot of dust, so let's clean it first.
Pushing the door into the house, he saw a figure lying on his bed, Jiang Yun was stunned, and said in his heart, Could it be that Lu Xiaochuan is back? He stepped forward to take a look, and his brow furrowed. "Sanssoucin, what are you doing at my house?"
The old Taoist priest was as sloppy as ever, and he didn't know how long he had lived here, but one thing Jiang Yun was sure of was that this guy had never done housework! Look at the heap of ashes! It's a good house, and it's not much better than the City God Temple when the two first met that day.
Sanssouci was pushed, rubbed her eyes and woke up. After seeing Jiang Yun, the chrysanthemum-like old face instantly climbed with a touch of joy. "Alas, you're back, little friend, Poor Dao is finally waiting for you."
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
"This... Hey. Sanssouci smiled awkwardly and held out a dirty hand. And the silver? Give me something to deal with. ”
“。。。” Isn't this a Taoist priest? At best, he is a part-time liar at the moment, when did he even get involved in the beggar industry? Jiang Yun was suddenly dissatisfied, and said with a stinky face: "Didn't I give you five thousand taels of silver before?" Is this all spent? ”
It's a whole five thousand taels! It is enough to buy a door industry, ask for a few daughters-in-law, and live a lifetime without worrying about eating and drinking. This old thing is capable enough, and it will be spent in less than two months?
Wuwuzi also seems to know that he is not doing this very authentically, of which four thousand amounts are the lovesick Gu money that Jiang Yun ordered from him, and now that the goods have no shadow, the money will be spent by him first, which is a bit unreasonable. He sneered and said: "I don't want to be poor, who knew that the price of the green building in Jinling City was so high, but after two or three nights, there was not a single copper plate left for five thousand taels." ”
"Grass, are you still going to prostitution?" How could there be such a scum in Daomen! "When my life and death are uncertain, are you drunk and dreaming of death? Two or three nights, looking for the top girl? Can you endure it! ”
Jiang Yun sighed, took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them over. "Take it, and then what should you do, just an uncle like you, I can't afford to raise a mountain of gold and silver."
Worry-free Zi turned out the silver ticket, quickly stuffed it into the cuffs, and said with a smile: "I accepted the silver, but if you go, the poor road will not go." ”
"What? Are you still relying on me? ”
"Don't say it's so ugly." Sanssouci put away his smile, and then said, "Senior brother, he watches the sky at night... ”
"Stop! Sensei give me this set, I have something to say. ”
"Xiaoyou Yintang is black, with a scab between his eyebrows, and he is afraid that there will be a disaster of blood and light. The senior brother wants to follow the little friend in case of accidents. ”
"Did he say that?" It's a matter of life, how dare Jiang Yun take it lightly, the effect of that senior brother's "stargazing", he saw it with his own eyes. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Wuwuzi, he really wouldn't have found Xu Huanting. This kind of slightly fantastical thing would rather be believed in its existence than in its non-existence. After thinking about it, Jiang Yun felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Does your senior brother recognize me?" Why are you so concerned about my business? ”
"Well, Poor Dao also asked." Wuwuzi thought for a while and said: "Senior brother, I asked me not to ask more, if you ask, you don't have to answer more, just say that you will know in the future." ”
It is related to his own life, and he should buy a peace of mind if he spends some money, thinking of this, Jiang Yun nodded. "Okay, then you can stay here for the time being, and when you deal with the disaster of blood light, it's not too late to leave."
He pointed around and added, "Don't stay idle all day, be careful***** if you have nowhere to vent your energy, clean up the house." I still have something to do, so I'll go out first. ”
Rice worms? Rice worms don't have to work, huh?
After going out for two months, he accumulated a lot of trivial matters, the bank has to understand the progress, and Wu Wangfu also has to go to it, he thinks Ji Luo. After arranging the housework for Sanssouci, Jiang Yun was about to go out, when the knock on the door rang first.
Jiang Yun opened the door and saw that it was a young man in Tsing Yi, his face was very raw, this kind of dress was too ordinary, and he couldn't recognize his head close to his clothes, so he asked directly: "Who are you?" ”
The little guy nodded and bowed. "But Commander Jiang in person?"
Call him the commander, then this person is eighty percent of the people of the Guogong Mansion. "It's me, what's the matter?"
"Grandpa Guo invited you to his study, saying that there is something important to discuss."
Something? Or do you want to do something? Jiang Yun couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and nodded in response: "I know, I'm just going to go out, let's go." ”
"Hey, please."
As the little servant came to the study of the Guogong Mansion, after entering the house, Jiang Yun saw that there were four people sitting inside, all the old and young members of the Xu family were present, with different faces, some angry, some indifferent, some eccentric, some resentful, and indescribably wonderful.
After the little guy withdrew, no one paid attention to Jiang Yun, this atmosphere was a little delicate, making him feel like a three-hall trial, what happened? Jiang Yun thought about it carefully, he had been quite peaceful recently, and he hadn't caused any trouble.
"The last general has seen Wei Guogong, don't you know?"
"Sit down." Xu Jiye said with a straight face.
"Grandpa Xie Guo." Jiang Yun found a chair and sat down as he said.
"Don't be too restrained, I called you here today to talk about family matters." Before he sat down on his buttocks, Xu Jiye said again: "His Majesty the Emperor is very happy to send troops this time and return with a big victory." But because you and Huanting had already given rewards in advance before they set out on the expedition, it was impossible for them to be promoted again, so this time the court only gave some property. You also know that in order to save you, my Xu family told a big lie to the court, and this time Your Majesty was happy and ordered you to marry Ting Ting. ”
So fast? The old emperor had already greeted Jiang Yun before, so he naturally didn't feel strange. Of course, admitting it is absolutely impossible, Jiang Yun was "surprised" and said: "How can this be? ”
"The old man doesn't know what His Majesty is thinking, it stands to reason that His Majesty will definitely not bother with these little things, or even pay attention to them at all." Xu Jiye said with an expressionless face: "But after all, the matter is out, and my Xu family can't tell the court that it was just an expedient measure before, so it is a crime of bullying the king." Now that His Majesty's decree has been issued, there is not much room for turning around in this matter, and the old man wants to ask you what you think. ”
"Thoughts? The last general didn't have much of an idea. Jiang Yun shook his head and said: "Even if you say more, you will be suspected of being cheap and obedient, so Grandpa Guo should ask General Xu first." ”
"If you want to ask the old man, he will naturally ask, but before that, have you thought about the things that made you think about it before?"
"I said you're not done?" Xu Huanting looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and replied lightly: "My marriage, what is your business?" You don't have to worry about this, I'll talk to him myself. ”
"Is this your business alone?" couldn't say a word to her, Xu Jiye couldn't help but get angry, and snorted: "There is still something wrong with this kid!" What to do with the other side of Wu Wangfu? If you don't understand this, how are you going to talk about it? The old man said first, the daughter of my Xu family will never be small, even if I don't care about you, I have to take care of the face of the Guogong Mansion. ”
"Be nosy." Xu Huanting didn't appreciate it, stood up and walked out of the house.
"Jiang Yun, follow me!" (To be continued.) )
