Chapter Seventy-Three: My Lord's Match for This Official Robe
Sending the dead to attack the palace at night was a decision that Fan Yongdou made again and again.
The letter written in Manchu was too important, directly depicting the strategic intentions of the Jurchens, and once the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty believed it, it would not be easy for the Fan family to smuggle calmly.
The Epistle must be retrieved!
Just when Fan Yongdou's patience was running out, the leader of the guards rushed over, "Proprietor, there is a change in the city!" ”
"Oh? Did they succeed? ”
"The whole army is in ink, and no one is spared"
Fan Yongdou only felt that the world was spinning, "How can this be? They are the elite I have raised for many years, even if they meet several times the number of rogues, they have retreated, but what is the matter today? ”
The leader of the guards was anxious, "Proprietor, there must be something wrong in the city, but the messenger can only use the lights as a signal, many things are not clear, in order to prevent accidents, let's leave quickly."
Is it Wang Teng's trick again?
In the past half a month, almost all the bad news Fan Yongdou has heard is related to Wang Teng.
"Thief, hateful!"
Fan Yongdou gritted his teeth, but he was also worried that Wang Teng would attack and kill at night, he only had thirty guards by his side, and if he folded here, it would only make the world laugh.
"Let's go!"
Taking advantage of the night, Fan Yongdou fled in embarrassment.
The sky gradually brightened, today was the day when the Fan family delivered the silver taels, Wang Teng slept for two hours and got up in a hurry.
"Don't worry, the people of the Fan family haven't entered the city yet."
Wang Teng was surprised, "Wan'er, why are you here?" ”
Yu Wan'er's voice was like a mosquito, "I'm here to serve you to change clothes."
"Ah, that's not going to happen"
Yu Wan'er bowed her head and was silent, and only said after a while: "Do you dislike me?" ”
Wang Teng denied it again and again, "There is absolutely no such intention, there is absolutely no such intention, I mean that you are just a guest living here, how can you do this kind of errand of serving people."
Yu Wan'er seemed to have made a decision, she raised her head, and said in a resolute tone: "A huge courtyard, full of vulgar men, I don't serve you, do you let them serve?" ”
Wang Teng was very embarrassed, he had only taken over Zhao Xiancheng's mansion for a few days, and he hadn't even had time to see the size of the courtyard, so how could he have the time to recruit servants.
"What to serve or not, I'll just wash my face and dress myself"
"That's not possible, you're an official now, if you don't even have someone around to serve you, wouldn't it be a joke if you spread it?"
Wang Teng patted his head, "Okay, after a few **** help me hire a few people, this yard is too big, and it doesn't look like no one will clean it up."
Yu Wan'er shook her head repeatedly, "Cheng, come, wash your face first."
After that, Yu Wan'er brought the basin and towel to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng, who has always been used to doing things himself, has never seen this battle, "It's better for me to do it myself."
Yu Wan'er also did this kind of thing for the first time, and her face turned red at the moment, and she no longer insisted on it.
After washing, Yu Wan'er picked up her official robe and said, "My lord, please change your clothes."
This is the first time Wang Teng has put on the patrol uniform.
According to the imperial court system, the nine-rank military attache painted a seahorse on his chest, and the black gauze hat on his head must be woven by variegated Wenqi and Ayaluo, the top of the hat is wound with silver thread, and the hat beads are composed of agate, crystal, and fragrant wood.
Although it is the lowest-priced military attache robe, it still looks heroic when worn on Wang Teng.
Yu Wan'er had already secretly promised Wang Tengfang, but now when she saw it, she was suddenly stupid.
"Wan'er, how's it going?"
Wang Teng took a turn very coquettishly.
"Your Excellency is a good match for this robe"
There was a bronze mirror on the case, Wang Teng took care of it, and suddenly smiled, "Wrong, you should say that this official robe is very compatible with me."
The position of the words is different, and the context suddenly changes.
Yu Wan'er chuckled, "What the adult said is right, it's Wan'er who is wrong."
While talking and laughing, a villager hurriedly came to report, "My lord, Lord Wei is invited!" ”
"Okay, I know", sent away the unsightly Xiang Yong, Wang Teng instructed Yu Wan'er again, "Help me take care of your brother these days, tell him to recuperate with peace of mind, and don't worry about other things."
"My lord, it's us who have troubled you"
Last night's fight naturally couldn't hide from Yu Wan'er, just imagine, if Wang Teng hadn't been prepared, how could the two Yu Xiang brothers and sisters escape with just that?
Wang Teng didn't mean to be self-respecting, "Fan Yongdou is also my enemy, helping you is helping myself, Wan'er, you don't have to think about it."
Can you not think about it again?
Yu Xiang was nothing more than an assassin, with nothing but martial arts, and the ancients paid attention to the grace of dripping water.
Wang Teng's life-saving grace, except for making a personal promise, Yu Wan'er really couldn't think of any other way.
Wang Teng didn't understand the little girl's thoughts, and he didn't have time to think about it, Wei Yuan might be waiting at the county office, he didn't dare to delay for too long, "Lord Wei wants to see me, Wan'er, you stay in the courtyard, if there is anything to wait for me to come back, okay?" ”
Yu Wan'er naturally agreed.
Out of the courtyard gate, some townsmen had already prepared their mounts, Wang Teng turned over his horse and went to the county office.
It didn't take long for the county government to be in sight.
The officials guarding the door had already heard the news of Wang Teng's promotion, and from a long distance, they sang: "Wang Inspection, Lord Wei is waiting in the study."
Wang Teng smiled and touched a handful of copper coins and said, "Reward you."
The official hurriedly took the copper coin and thanked him repeatedly, "Don't worry, in the future, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, but wherever you can use the villain, just give orders, if I frown, I will not be a master."
Wang Teng was noncommittal, he walked quickly to the study, and saw Wei Yuan standing next to a map, as if thinking about something.
"Your Excellency!"
"Oh, you're here"
"I wonder what the adults command?"
"Come, take a look at this map, if the Fan family sends silver, where do you think it is more appropriate to dig a well for water?"
Wang Teng is not familiar with Guangling County, he doesn't want to do things like laymen guiding insiders, "My lord, the lower officials are not familiar with internal affairs, so they don't dare to give indiscriminate instructions."
Wei Yuan frowned, "What are you afraid of, you say and I listen, there are no outsiders here."
Wang Teng had no choice but to analyze it according to the understanding of his later generations, "Xia Guan believes that to dig wells for water, we must choose low-lying and flat places, and we must judge whether it is advisable according to the terrain."
"Well, although I don't know much, it's all in the idea, so okay, you are responsible for digging the well and getting water?"
Wang Teng just wanted to train the new pawn, and didn't want to be idle, but seeing Wei Yuan's eager gaze, he couldn't say anything to refuse, "My lord, I'm just a patrol officer, if I interfere in civil affairs, will it attract criticism?" ”
Wei Yuan said, "Who dares to criticize?" As long as you have no guilt, why are you afraid of other people's gossip? ”
Having said that, Wang Teng is still reluctant, this water conservancy matter is clearly a thankless task, if it is done well, the credit is not his share, if it is not done well, rumors and rumors must be indispensable.
Xu saw through Wang Teng's worries, Wei Yuan said bitterly: "Whether it is a well or a canal, these are all good deeds for the benefit of the country and the people, Wang Teng, you have only been a county inspector in two decades, don't you want to accumulate some yin virtue?" ”
Come on, the accumulation of virtue and good deeds have come out, and Wang Teng can't do it if he wants to make a promise, "it's all up to the orders of adults."
Wei Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
