Dilemma3 Section III
In the third section, Zhu Huai stood at the head of the city, his eyes gradually disappeared with the cyan sedan chair, and he turned his head after a while, and then sighed deeply. Steward Hu stepped forward and said, "Master, now that Niangniang has returned, we naturally don't have to suffer from Li Zhong's boy's birdishness, and Miss naturally doesn't have to wash her face with tears every day......"
Zhu Huai shook his head, and just said: "Lao Hu, that's so simple, Yuqing has not been very good since his mother passed away, and if you want to make her happy, it's so easy." You see, it's so lively today, and she still can't arouse the slightest interest. I really don't know what to do. At this moment a gust of wind blew on the city, and the umbrella was raised high, and he was so cold that he shrunk his neck. But in my heart, I was even more helpless.
Steward Hu took two steps, hurriedly straightened the umbrella, held it, and said: "Master, it's useless for you to worry, everything is artificial, I think, once Miss finds a wishful husband, she should be fine......" He has served Zhu Huai for nearly 30 years, and his name is the master and servant, but he is actually a brother, so when he speaks, he has a lot less scruples, and for Zhu Yuqing, he is more like his own niece and daughter. Zhu Huai naturally didn't blame him.
Zhu Huai didn't seem to want to say more on this annoying topic, waved his hand, pointed to Wu Ming, who was stunned at the bottom of the city, and suddenly said: "That kid is Wu Ming, the Xuanwu team of the Guards Battalion. Bad luck ......"
Steward Hu joked: "I have heard of this, according to the letter we planted in the Qingting, his new wife was taken by Liao Gang, and then in order to get out, he mortgaged his wife, tsk......" said, smashing his mouth, but he didn't have much emotion. Imperial women, unless they are the daughters of famous families in large families, generally do not have much status, and it is common to send concubines to each other, women, in the eyes of these powerful people, are more like goods, so Steward Hu didn't think it was a big deal.
Zhu Huai chuckled: "I didn't expect that this kid is an amorous seed, and it seems that there are many inconsistencies with the rumors." Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, turned his head, stared at Steward Hu and said, "Old Hu, how did he reply to the last time you contacted He Damian?" ”
He Da Face in his mouth is actually He Xiaotian, the governor of the Northwest, because the two are brothers-in-law, so they have more contacts than several other governors, and their personal relationship is also very good, and letters are usually indispensable, but this time, Zhu Huai's request is too big, and the other party agrees or not, it is really a two-way thing.
Steward Hu shook his head and said, "Governor He hasn't given a reply until now......" Zhu Huai heard Steward Hu say this, his face sank, and Steward Hu hurriedly changed his smiling face and said, "However, there is one thing, maybe it is good news for us." ”
"Lao Hu, your mouth has been oily recently, and you still like to entertain me, in front of me, you are still mysterious and secretive, do you want to beg for a beating?"
He said that he was begging, and in his tone, he couldn't hide his joy, Steward Hu and he had been friends for more than 20 years, and the tempers of both sides had been clear, he said that it was good news, and it was news that was greatly beneficial to him. Sure enough, Steward Hu leaned into his ear and lowered his voice and said: "The one surnamed Liao in the northwest, it is said that he fell out with Governor He this time, the specific reason is not clear, I only know that Governor He returned to Qingting with him recently, and then left angrily, and he didn't even say hello, not many people know this news, because we have been in the house surnamed Liao for a long time, and we only learned from a housekeeper after drinking." ”
Zhu Huai listened to Steward Hu, the smile on the corner of his mouth continued to expand, and the relationship between him and Liao Qing had not been very good. I have long wanted to unite with He Xiaotian to deal with it, but Liao Qing, this kid is very slippery, he is a good person everywhere, engages in diplomacy, and now, he Zhu Huai seems to have become the most isolated person among the current governors of the Five Roads.
Since Li Tie's coup d'état, the governor of the five roads of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the four northern provinces are Li Jiakongzhì, and the governor of the Northeast Road is only Li Jiama. The other three families have their own ghosts, and they are playing their own little abacus with each other. He was originally very close to He Xiaotian, the governor of the northwest, but he was fooled by Liao Qing, who was separated in the middle, and now he is unsure. Hearing the news now is as refreshing as eating a piece of chilled watermelon on dog days. Even the falling winter rain seems to have become cute.
The two of them muttered on the city wall for a while, and before they knew it, the guards camp was approaching the city gate. Zhu Huai lifted the silk umbrella held above his head, and laughed: "Let's go, Lao Hu, Niangniang has arrived, follow me to greet you." Now the winter rain was rushing, fluttering, pouring down from the air in waves, but he didn't care, in the tide of cheers, walked down the city, towards Tao Yu's car.
Steward Hu exclaimed, "Master, beware of catching a cold!" With a few personal soldiers, with umbrellas, he hurriedly chased down.
※※※Nanning City is nearly 20 miles wide from east to west, and 25 miles long from north to south, showing an irregular rectangle. The welcome ceremony was very grand, more than 3,000 people, in a mountain of calls, all kinds of ceremonies went down, Wu Ming and they spent a whole day to really walk into Nanning.
In the afternoon, when the various ceremonies were finally completed and the rain had subsided, Wu Ming felt very bored, so he asked a soldier for a horse, believed in the reins, and followed the troops slowly towards the interior. The whole city, with blue bricks and blue tiles, is small and exquisite, adding a bit of charm in the hazy winter rain. If Kyoto is a big man with knotted muscles, then Nanning is a graceful and slender little jasper.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, he thought lightly, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a pain again.
The man who came to greet them was a middle-aged man, named Shi Zhen, according to him, he claimed to be a staff member of Zhu Huai, and he had no real power, but he was very kind, and it was almost the same as responding to requests, and the entire guard battalion was arranged in a huge building. This building is also carved beams and paintings, and the momentum is extraordinary. In the meantime, there are more water pavilions, which are very exquisite. Obviously, the previous owners were either rich or gentry.
Shi Zhan looked at it, as if he was afraid that Wu Ming would be unhappy, so he gave a salute and said: "Lord Wu, you and your adults can live here for the time being, if you feel dissatisfied, you can find me at any time, you are welcome." After saying that, he patted his chest. He was so polite that he choked Wu Ming a lot, and hurriedly said: "Master Shi, this way, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a feast and a camper." It is already extremely difficult to settle in this private room, so what is there not to be satisfied with? ”
"Lord Wu's words are also wrong, in the past, it was just on the march, and things were urgent, but in the future, it is different, this may be the place where the brothers settle down, so naturally they have to find a place where the brothers can live comfortably. It's just that even so, it's only temporary, and I wish the governor will definitely build a big guard palace for everyone......"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he was already able to speak, dancing and saying: "When the time comes, Lord Wu and Xia Guan will be ministers in the same palace, please take care of one or two." Wu Ming looked at him, but he said in his heart: "Looking at the way he looks, I'm afraid Zhu Huai has already hooked up with Tao Yu, and even the construction of the palace is being planned." ”
He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seems that this Eastern Han Dynasty is inevitably a bloody storm.
