Chapter 31: Dawn
Wang Wei walked down the street in despair.
The sun was shining, but his heart was already as cold as frost.
The wife left in the morning with the two children, although the wife kept coaxing them to just go to their grandfather's house for a few days. But the children also seemed to notice something, and when they left, they kept looking at themselves, and the little one cried out.
Wang Wei was already desperate in his heart, and he knew that maybe after that, they would never come back......
Even if Qian Hong retires, he will also be the old minister of Yongfu, and he will have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the central elders, and his influence will not dissipate, and the people below him will ...... I definitely didn't dare to slap this old boss in the face.
Even if he's dead! The successor of the Wangbei Supervision Division will not do anything to the things left by a deceased boss, predecessor, and old colleague, but will take the initiative to maintain his dignity, and continue to hide those dark colors that should not be under the brilliant glory of the water blue hanging sword.
Everything will return to dust, dust to dust, and eternity.
Maybe...... It's time for me to join the army......
Father, children are not filial...... I'm sorry......
Wang Wei walked and walked, and gradually burst into tears.
Suddenly, he heard a little noise from the people in front of him.
When I looked up, I found that somehow I had come to a familiar place again, under the proud fluttering water-blue hanging sword.
has changed from the desertion of the past, but there are many people gathered at the gate of the Wangbei Supervision Division, which seems to be ...... Populace? But is there something important?
Out of professional sensitivity, although he is now discouraged, Wang Wei also approached a group of people slightly.
After listening to it briefly, I immediately understood the general situation, and my heart was even more bitter.
Although the superintendent is very mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, he can't hide such a big thing after all.
The little grandfather recruited Xie Gongzi and quarreled with Qian Hong, and Xie Gongzi gradually made stupid tricks and became the joke of the supervisor, and finally even affected the little grandfather. A series of things have finally spread to the people - and today, it is the day of the special scientific expedition, although the people only dare to gather from afar, but they are all here to inquire about gossip and ......
There are even gambling houses in the private sector that have opened a gambling game, and the odds of Xie Gongzi passing the special science test are frighteningly high, and the people are even more flocking to buy it - the empire is extremely rich, and every family has a little surplus money in their hands, who doesn't want the money sent to the door?
So, they all bet with great interest, and then they gathered here, waiting for the results of the special science test to come out and go to the gambling house to get the money.
Wang Wei laughed miserably.
That's it, you treat me with a straight eye, and the grace of heavy money to help me can't be repaid. Today, I also return your support to buy Junsheng alone!
Spend all the money, and you have nothing to worry about, and go to Xinpo Province to join the army.
After more than 20 years of peace, it is said that the western maritime frontier has begun to gradually become in danger of war, although it will not start immediately, according to the law of the past, since Xiyi once again fought in the nest and established the hegemon, and then the hegemon swallowed the overseas forces of the defeated country, accumulated full strength, and set his sights on the east -- that is, from the time it was conceived to the beginning of the war, it usually took a few years to ten years or so.
But I heard that the Western Yi overlord who may come this time is called England, and the national combat strength and tactical tactics are all stronger. And on the way to science and technology, Xiyi is also chasing after the empire, and more spies are sent to successfully steal the secrets of the emperor's affairs, and the technological gap is gradually narrowing.
The Empire was already wary of the kingdom called England.
The navy is different from the army, in the words of His Royal Highness the Ancestor King, it is a technical service, and it is not overnight.
Therefore, the Imperial Privy has planned to spend several years in Sinpo Province to organize another Royal Navy First Class Fleet to prepare for a rainy day. However, due to the sparse population of the empire and the wealth of the people, there are few people with maritime skills, and even fewer people with maritime skills are more willing to lick blood from the knife in the army, so they have not recruited full soldiers.
He polishes his martial arts every day, and he is not a landlubber. Although he does not know artillery, does not know the sail rudder, and is dull in nature, it is difficult to learn it. But as a supplement to the artillery battle, the stormtroopers when the two ships were on the sidelines were still competent.
gave up this life, and joined the army there and trained hard for ten years.
Then, either come back like a father and tell his wife and children, her husband, their father, is also a man!
Either...... Serve the Empire and die at sea......
Wang Wei thought so, but he also turned around and walked to the few big gambling houses that the people said, just waiting to repay the favor after placing the bet, and then came back to look at Gongzi Xie for the last time......
So he went south to join the army.
……
Wang Wei left before he left, and a Sufu carriage had quietly driven to the square in front of the superintendent, and found a place to stop.
Erhu jumped down from the driver's position, and greeted An Qian inside, telling her not to come out, so as not to be harassed by Xiaoxiao, and he brought a few Su Mansion rations to Xie Xiuqi's family to listen to the news.
An Qian sat in the carriage, a little dazed.
Since the day the son went to the prison department, he has been left there by the little grandfather.
In the past few days, although An Qian has lived in Su Mansion, the rumors from the outside world have intensified, and she has also heard a lot of rumors.
Although the girl has long been blindly superstitious in her heart to do anything to her young master, the joke clown in the rumors is her own young master...... It also made the girl feel a little apprehensive in her heart.
After a short time, Erhu had already heard the news and returned. Seeing that An Qian seemed to be a little restless there, the half-grown boy who had grown into a young man smiled.
In recent days, he has been forced by the young master to read and learn calligraphy, he is not elegant, but his temperament has also calmed down a little, seeing that An Qian was a little panicked, he also said softly through the curtain: "Don't worry, why did the young master let me wait for disappointment?" Just wait and see what happens. ”
As the second tiger was talking, he saw a person in a common person's costume in the distance sneakily looking around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he walked straight to his carriage.
The second tiger was immediately vigilant. Since he was a child, he has been the young master's personal companion, and the young master has never hidden anything from him. Although An Qian is a maidservant, she is getting closer and closer to the young master, and most of them will become the young master's concubines in the future, and these two tigers also know it.
An Qian is going to come out today to listen to the news, and she can't stop it, but if she disturbs the young master's future family, she will die a hundred deaths.
The young man thought to himself, he was already very vigilant. The person who came had gradually approached, and the two tigers looked at it, but they knew it, it was Changzhi that day, and he went to the scene of Fang's house with Grandpa Yang. Later, during this period of time in Fucheng, a personal guard knight who had secretly come to his side several times seemed to be called ...... Li?
Erhu recalled, reported to An Qian in the carriage behind him, and immediately greeted him.
"I've seen the two tiger brothers, I don't know if Miss An of your mansion is here? Maybe meet her next? ”
Li Cheng looked around sneakily and found that no one was paying attention to him, and he had already whispered to the ushered Erhu.
As soon as the two tigers were stunned, he also nodded quietly, and then sent those Su family members to disperse, but he led Li Cheng to the carriage and whispered a few words to the carriage.
An Qian also responded gently, but she also lifted the carriage curtain, and bowed slightly in the carriage: "When the distinguished guest arrives, the little girl is inconvenient to enter and exit in front of people, and there are many rudenesses, so don't blame it." ”
Li Cheng glanced at it and found that it was indeed An Qian, who had seen it once in the Xie family, and he quickly lowered his head again: "I've seen the girl." came abruptly, and I had to see the girl, and I also looked at the girl Haihan. ”
An Qian was suddenly a little flattered - she was a little maid, and she was like this...... It's good not to be looked down upon. He is a supervisor who is guarding the guards, and the little grandfather's confidant is very different from his own status, but he is so respectful and polite to himself......
The girl didn't know that her young master was as high as Mount Tai in the eyes of this person, so she returned the salute again and again.
Li Cheng didn't feel anything bad.
In those days, I came to Mr. Xie to accept secrets, and it was all this little maid who added tea and poured water on the side, although she would retire when she was busy, but she could always hear two sentences - it was obvious that this person was already a person that Mr. Xie could trust, and he would become a pillow person.
Although it can't be the main house, but if the pillow wind of the lady is not powerful?
Although he was born as a companion of the little grandfather, he is very trusted. But compared with this young grandfather and brother, who has been commensurate with the little grandfather and brother, and is more faintly leaning on the future arm...... Yes, don't think about it, it's all master.
Therefore, it is always right to be respectful to this lord's future relatives.
I saw him thinking in his heart, looking at the ground with his eyebrows down, and he had already bowed his hand respectfully again: "Girl, that's the case, Master Xie asked me to bring a word to the girl." ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and handed over a note, but his face was slightly strange.
An Qian took it in wonder, unfolded it and looked at it, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that Xie Xiuqi had also heard about the gambling game being made outside with the results of his special scientific examination, and this rumor must have been released by the general affairs, and he was also happy to see it, but he just thought about it, but he suddenly remembered the three hundred golden tickets that Grandpa Yang put in his place-
This one was not given away, but he still saw that Wang Wei gave him thirty pitifully that day, and the remaining two hundred and seven days were to be returned to Yang Yizhang anyway, and he would not be surprised if he squandered thirty - but when will such a huge amount of money be put in his hand and not make money?
Don't use it in vain, although it is public funds, but embezzlement of public funds is a fine tradition in China since ancient times. It just so happened that he had settled down after the special scientific expedition, and he was also planning to move out of Sufu. After all, those patents are far water that does not quench the thirst of the near, but with this vote, this does not make up for the holes of the day's extravagance, not to mention, but also a house, a car, all at once, all of them will live, and even make a lot of money?
Xie Xiuqi thought so at the time, so Li Cheng's trip today, and Li Cheng and An Qian both had a somewhat strange look - An Cheng was worried as if he didn't know anything, even if Li Cheng, who knew everything about the inside story, was a little nervous, this son-in-law/his own son-in-law was full of interest and thought about embezzling the public funds given by Grandpa Yang's private money to gamble......
