Volume 2 Half Landscape and Half Fate 078 Say goodbye to Jinling
When Lin Shuhan heard this, his face sank, and then he returned to normal, and said, "Your Highness is also a first-class person in the world, so you can't do something like this, right?" How can it be infamous through the ages, and also embarrass me, a fallen scholar? ”
Qiu Yizhi shook his head but said: "Even if my eldest brother cherishes his feathers, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have a word of complaint against Mr. in the future. ”
Uncle Lin laughed coldly and said, "Hmph! The so-called Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult, is this what it means? Yan Zhilin is Zhong Kui who catches ghosts! ”
Qiu Yizhi nodded and said, "Mr.'s ability is clear below. However, this group of idlers harass every day, does the gentleman deal with them every day? Mr. is such a talent, it is too violent to waste it on this group of villains! What's more, beside Mr., there is a helpless Miss Wu ......"
Lin Shuhan listened to Qiu Yi's sincere tone, and he was indeed thinking about himself, so he said: "Lord Qiu is right, Lin is indeed a little bookish. Since Lord Qiu has always known His Royal Highness's temperament, he doesn't know what plan he can help me. ”
"It's not hard. Speaking of which, my eldest brother is not an incompetent and virtuous person, if my husband intends to make meritorious contributions, he might as well follow my eldest brother's wishes and serve in his shogunate. Qiu Yizhi said.
Lin Shuhan said with a smile: "Lin never regrets doing things, just now Lin has rejected His Royal Highness, and the good horse naturally has no reason to eat back grass." It's better to be a master under the adult, as Lord Qiu said. ”
Qiu Yizhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Before the next few sincere appointments, Mr. was noncommittal. Today, there is a dignified prince who intends to envelop him, and he didn't want to mention this matter again. Unexpectedly, Mr. would take the initiative to bring it up...... In the bottom, in the bottom just don't want to take advantage of the danger of others. ”
Lin Shuhan waved his hand and said: "Although Lin is a shallow learner, he also has a bit of backbone, if it is really Lin who doesn't want to go, then Lin will never be contaminated even if he turns into ashes." Lin just thinks that Lord Qiu is indeed a person of affection and sexuality, you and I have never been speculative in our words, and if it is not for the grace of saving lives - interacting with adults is like drinking fine wine, which makes people yearn for it. ”
When Qiu Yizhi heard Lin Shuhan say this, he was already overjoyed, forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and said, "So, Mr. Lin agreed to go to Shanyin County with me?" ”
"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase." Uncle Lin cut the railway.
Qiu Yizhi became more and more happy when she heard this, but said: "I don't know if Miss Wu is willing to lead to ......."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wu Ruofei's extremely hearty and light voice coming from outside the door: "Of course I do, I'm afraid that Mr. won't go!" ”
Lin Shuhan was happy to hear this, and said with a smile: "Okay! How dare you eavesdrop on me talking to Lord Qiu! ”
Since then, Qiu Yizhi has been recuperating in Lin Shuhan's manor. Every day, he has Wu Ruofei's carefully cooked chicken and duck medicinal food supplemented by precious medicinal herbs, and his body has recovered in just a few days.
A few days later, Qixia Temple sent someone over, saying that His Royal Highness Zheng Xin had completed the affairs of the Qincha, and Keri was about to leave Jinling and return to Beijing. Qiu Yizhi remembered Zheng Xin's instructions, and immediately went out to Qixia Temple to say goodbye to Zheng Xin.
The two brothers had their own thoughts, and their words were not speculative, and after some ordinary greetings, Qiu Yizhi withdrew.
The next day, His Royal Highness Zheng Xin drove the Qin Mission, and did not take the land route, but to take the Yangtze River and then return to the capital Luoyang through the North-South Grand Canal, and took it to check the whole city.
The reason for Qiu Yi is that he is an official of the imperial court, and he has to go to the dock to see him off as usual, and because he is a lowly position and has shallow qualifications, he can only be far at the end of the line.
I saw that the already very prosperous Yanziji Wharf was already full of lights, and the icing on the cake became more and more intense and fragrant. The restaurants around the wharf have been contracted by the wealthy families in Jinling City, and the old and the young are among the high-rise buildings, wanting to watch the rare scene of the prince of Qincha traveling.
A dragon head ship has already been moored on the Yangtze River, and the sides of the ship are lined up with heroic sergeants wearing brocade armor, the mast is raised high, and a five-clawed golden dragon is hung on it, slowly drifting in the river breeze.
On the square directly in front of the wharf, officials at all levels of Gangnam Province were lined up in civil and military areas. Because Zheng Xin swept the Jiangnan officialdom before, the total number of officials who originally had nearly 300 people has decreased a lot. However, according to the rules of officialdom, although the official himself has not arrived, the position of the standing class has to be vacated for him, so the whole team seems sparse.
Qiu Yizhi was the most relaxed among the more than 200 officials, and he didn't talk to his colleagues around him, looking around from the gap in the queue. I saw that there were many fresh faces among the officials, who were newly transferred from other provincial governments to fill the vacancies in Jiangnan Province - they all came from the bitter cold place to serve in this place in Jiangnan, and they were all full of red light and spring breeze.
Qiu Yizhi then scanned the queue of officials, and suddenly saw a familiar face - it was Zheng Tinghang, who was sent by the Ministry of Industry to contact Jiangnan River Workers. This Zheng Tinghang ten months ago, when he confronted His Royal Highness Zheng Xin, and saw that Zheng Xin was about to deal with him for the crime of Yin Chengliang's accomplice, Qiu Yizhi exonerated him, not only saved his life, but also did not degrade his official position.
Therefore, Qiu Yizhi saw that he was standing in the queue seriously, so he nodded at him lightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
This Zheng Tinghang is a pedantic scholar, who abides by the teachings of the sage "gentlemen are not parties", and after escaping death, he did not come to visit once to thank Qiu Yi. However, now that his savior took the initiative to greet him, he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he smiled and owed a little bit to his body, which was considered to be a promise.
At this moment, a cannon was suddenly heard on the dragon boat, and immediately the drums rang out, and everyone knew that it was His Royal Highness Zheng Xin who came.
Qiu Yizhi hurriedly looked to the south, and sure enough, he saw a colorful eight-lift sedan chair, surrounded by countless guards and honor guards, slowly coming towards the dock.
The big sedan chair calmly stopped on the middle of the road let out by the officials, and several sedan chair drivers at the head made a look at each other, and at the same time exerted force to lower the sedan chair, and a sedan chair man next to him immediately stretched out his hand to gently open the sedan curtain, waiting for the nobles to come out.
After a while, I saw a person wearing a brand-new bright red Shu brocade four-clawed eight-dragon robe, and a person walked out of the sedan chair - it was His Royal Highness Zheng Xin. I saw him nodding and greeting the officials he knew while walking, so he looked like a noble man.
He slowly walked to the dragon boat and waved at the crowd. Seeing this, the officials bent their knees very familiarly, and bowed three times and nine times at Zheng Xinxing - looking at their actions, they knew that they used twelve points of piety, and seemed to have completely forgotten that it was His Royal Highness who they were kneeling down to now, who swept through the Jiangnan officialdom in just one month, making I don't know how many black yarns fell to the ground and how many futures were ruined.
Qiu Yizhi, who was at the end of the line, did not have to make this great gift because he had a holy purpose and had always been on an equal footing with Zheng Xin, but he thought that if he stood upright and did not kneel, not only would he be too conspicuous, but he would also be very ugly when he stood out from the crowd. So he also bent his knees and kowtowed, but immediately got up, straightened his upper body and looked at Zheng Xin from afar.
Zheng Xin seemed to be looking at Qiu Yizhi as well, but he was saying goodbye to several high-ranking officials in the front row, and Qiu Yizhi was so far away that he couldn't hear what they said.
Zheng Xin talked to them for a while, waved his hand at the hundred officials in Jiangnan, and then turned around in a very chic manner, and boarded the dragon boat along the carefully placed springboard.
The dragon ship raised its iron anchor, hoisted its yellow sails, and then followed the wind and the current, and went southeast.
As the dragon boat gradually moved away, the catastrophe caused by the Jiangnan officialdom due to the case of the "Dust Palace" Miaozhen Jushi finally calmed down, and the officials who were lucky enough to keep their fame and official positions were all relieved, and even the sun with the aftermath of the dog seemed to have converged a little, putting away the vicious tongue of fire, making people a little more comfortable.
When the officials saw that His Royal Highness had boarded the ship and set sail, and that the new Jiangnan Provincial Assassin had not yet arrived, they immediately dispersed in a hurry and left the dock in groups.
The reason for Qiu Yi was the newly arrived Shanyin County Commander, and there were many Jiangnan colleagues offended in this big case, so there was no half of them who could talk to each other, so he slowly went to Lin Shuhan's manor alone.
Lin Shuhan's manor, Qiu Yizhi was already very familiar, and he only nodded to the old Wang who was guarding the door, and entered the courtyard as if he had entered his own house. He was already familiar with the paths in the courtyard, and while thinking about his thoughts, he walked into the depths of the manor.
After walking for a while, I saw Lin Shuhan and Wu Ruofei sorting things in front of the house, and Yu Chi Jiming and Yang Ying'er were also helping to pack.
Qiu Yizhi thought that they were preparing to pay Shanyin County with them, so he walked forward with a smile and said, "Yo, are Mr. Lin and Miss Wu moving?" ”
When Uncle Lin heard this, he raised his head and said, "It's all Laoshizi, if you are not willing to throw it away, you may not all take it to Shanyin County, right?" ”
Wu Ruofei also raised his head and reprimanded: "What is Lao Shizi? These are the books that Mr. has read, the words he has written, and the poems he has sang, and I still want to save them up and publish a collection of poems and essays for Mr. in a few years. ”
Lin Shuhan said disapprerovingly: "It's all pedantic words, what are you doing when you save them?" Do you want to publish an anthology, waiting for it to be passed on to future generations, and be smiling and generous? ”
Qiu Yizhi heard that the two of them had different opinions, and hurriedly interjected: "This is not Mr. Lin's. These things, although they are penniless in the eyes of Mr., are expensive in Luoyang when they are put in Jinling City. Believe it or not, take a few things to the front of the Confucius Temple to set up a stall, keep the people who come to rob Mr. calligraphy and paintings, and there are those who break their heads! ”
"Humph! It's all ordinary people! Uncle Lin said coldly.
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "What ordinary people have in their hands is silver!" He is a layman below, and he has a few blunt words to say, so please don't blame Mr. If Mr. had let go of his obsession at the beginning, put the calligraphy and paintings he had accumulated over the years on the market, and sold some of them, how could he be so troubled by Miss Wu's hundreds of thousands of redeemed silver......
"No way!" Lin Shuhan interrupted Qiu Yizhi's words slightly rudely, "If it is like what the adults say, then the bald pen in Lin's hand will be stained with copper from now on, and he will no longer be able to make any good poems or write good words, so what is the difference between death and death!" ”
As soon as his words fell, even Wu Ruofei came over to help and said, "Childe's words are indeed biased." Mr. Lin's poetry, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, although it is rare, but his high character is the reason why I fall in love with him. If it really comes to the point where Mr. Lin wants to redeem himself for me by polishing his pen, then I would rather not be free for the rest of my life! ”
Qiu Yi listened and nodded, although he was only willing to make promises in his mouth, he had other ideas in his heart.
