Chapter 372: The Women Enter the City
Yue Shao'an went north for more than a day, and on the way, it was very calm. The girls who went south were very surprised, because, after they got on the road, they found that it was not only a few of them who walked together, but also Gu Zhang and Tian Yueling, who resigned.
Gu Xiangning was overjoyed, originally, she was still worried about her father, just because Yue Shao'an was going north to fight Jin Bing, she didn't want to increase the burden on him, so she didn't bring it up, she didn't expect Yue Shao'an to think so thoughtfully.
In fact, Yue Shao'an still has his own purpose for letting Gu Zhang go to Song Shicheng, in Song Shicheng, there is no capable person to govern now, although Wen Chengfang can do well in the overall situation, but he is inexperienced, and there is always a lack of details, and Wen Chengfang has not handled the problem of getting along with officials very well.
Because Yue Shaoan knew that Gu Zhang had plans to resign, he had already thought about letting Gu Zhang govern Song Shicheng, but he couldn't bring this matter up clearly, otherwise, Gu Zhang would resign here, and he would use it there, which would inevitably make the emperor suspicious.
Now taking care of Gu Zhang's pension is the best way to hide people's eyes. This matter, when he received Gu Zhang, he told him, and at the same time, he also vaguely revealed that his purpose in building the Song Shicheng was to leave a back road for himself, a place where he could settle down.
After Gu Zhang heard this, he didn't have a superficial attitude, but just promised him that he would mention Wen Chengfang when he needed it. Although Gu Zhang did not make a clear statement, this was enough, he wanted an advisor, not a city lord, so Yue Shaoan readily agreed.
At the same time, in his secret letter to Wen Chengfang, he also expressed his attitude, Gu Zhang can believe it, but he can't hand over power, because, after all, he is an old minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the end, if there is any disagreement with the imperial court, I am afraid that he will not be able to make a decision.
Gu Zhang is known as an old fox, so he naturally understands this, and he doesn't break it, he has been an official for so many years, he is really tired, especially the disappearance of Gu Xiangning, which made them understand many things, and now, they are no longer as obsessed with fame and fortune as before.
When the parents met, they were naturally happy, and Gu Zhang's old appearance was also much better during this time, he thought that his daughter was dead, but he came back alive, and he also had a grandson, he was already very satisfied.
However, after Xiao Si and Tian Yueling met, she was a little embarrassed, Tian Yueling was a little nervous, since the last time she was in Yue Shao'an's room, she was hurt by Xiao Si's jealousy, she had even more inferiority.
Xiao Si looked at Tian Yueling's haggard appearance, and was very sorry in her heart, and when everyone was not paying attention, she quietly went to apologize to Tian Yueling, and after that, the words of the two gradually increased, and after a few days of traveling, their feelings gradually deepened, and they actually became good friends.
Emperor City, in this season, it has become very beautiful, and it is still different from when Yue Shao'an left, when the flowers were still budding, but now they have bloomed, the moat in front of the city is clear, the fragrance of flowers is floating at the beginning, the green trees are shady, and the scenery is pleasant.
Even the Tucheng not far from the Song Shicheng is also a gathering of merchants, everywhere is very lively, a few women originally thought that the city that had just gone through the war would not be what it was, but they didn't expect it to be so beautiful, the scenery is not worse than Hangzhou City, but the reputation is much worse.
Even the little county lord who had left not long ago was full of joy and surprise, in front of the city, Wen Chengfang and Zhuo Yan personally came out to greet a few ladies, and the little county lord was naturally familiar with them.
Zhuo Yan has also seen most of the other women, but after Wen Chengfang saw the faces of the women, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Yue Shao'an's romantic story was widely spread, he had heard it a long time ago! It's just that he didn't expect that those women would have such stunning looks.
Seeing Wen Chengfang so out of shape, Zhuo Yan coughed lightly and said, "Welcome...... cough ...... "The latter words, he doesn't know what to call it, let's call it Mrs., they haven't passed the door yet, they call the girl, but it's not appropriate, in the end, Zhuo Yan just gave a deep salute according to the etiquette of the elders.
Wen Chengfang reacted at this time, and hurriedly saluted: "Ladies, Chengfang is sloppy, please forgive me!" ”
The little county lord grinned: "Okay, Lord Wen, my sisters are tired from traveling, don't be polite, let's go into the city first!" ”
"Yes, yes......" Wen Chengfang said continuously: "What the county lord said is, please, please!" ”
"Hee-hee-hee......" The little county lord looked back and smiled, she was a master: "Sisters, go home!" ”
Yin Yuqian nodded, glanced back at Mrs. Long, and the phrase "ladies" could be said to have been called in together, she was worried that Mrs. Long would mind, but when she saw Mrs. Long smiling calmly, there was nothing wrong, so she was relieved, and went into the city with a smile.
As soon as she entered the city, Yin Yuqian was taken aback, there were people on both sides of the road, even if she was born into the royal family, she had never experienced such a scene, and she couldn't help but look at the other women, only to see that several of them were also looking at each other, I don't know why.
Zhuo Yan frowned, looked at Wen Chengfang and said, "Who revealed the news?" ”
"This ......" Wen Chengfang was also a little puzzled: "I haven't told anyone else about this matter, will it be someone who will be you?" ”
"Impossible." Zhuo Yan said expressionlessly: "My people will definitely not!" ”
Wen Chengfang was a little helpless, Zhuo Yan was always so sure of these, but he also knew that the revelation of the news was indeed more suspicious on his side.
At this point, it was useless to argue about this, and he said softly: "Well, now is not the time to hold people accountable, let's be careful not to frighten the ladies." ”
Zhuo Yan nodded, and glanced at his subordinates, and the people under him could understand, and they tacitly surrounded the women in the middle to protect them.
Wen Chengfang also commanded the officers and soldiers to open the way on both sides and walked towards the mansion.
Along the way, the people cheered, they all wanted to see what the emperor's wife looked like, they were amazed when they saw it, and they were full of regret when they didn't see it.
The Ruan sisters had been to Song Shicheng before, but at that time, it was not called Song Shicheng, and the city was not as prosperous as it is now, but the streets have not changed, and there is still a sense of familiarity everywhere.
Suddenly, Ruan Lianxin's face tightened, and she hurriedly looked around, as if she was looking for something. Ruan Lianmeng looked at her sister like this, and was puzzled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Mercy, what are you looking for?" ”
"I seem to have seen the master...... Ruan replied.
"Master? Over there? Ruan Lianmeng was also taken aback.
"I don't know, I just saw it there, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye." Ruan Lianxin pointed to a crowd of people and said.
Ruan Lianmeng followed her fingers and saw only a surging crowd, but there was the shadow of the master there......
