Chapter 190: Something Goes Wrong
Chang'an rode all the way back to Beijing, dismounted with a limp, and shouted a few times when he entered the door, before Mrs. Niu came out with a dung fork.
"You fat man! Why did you come back? Your mother is making a mistake again! I can see that your mother is hot-hearted and evil, and her heart is as hot as boiling water. ”
Mrs. Niu threw away the dung fork and went to beat Chang'an, "Tell me, what are you doing in Ningyuan?" And your grandmother Hu, when you are old, you don't do business, you are involved in everything, how can you let your mother go to Hangzhou! ”
"My mother is gone?" Chang An asked with a wooden face.
He has been on the road every day and night these days, and the day before yesterday his mother said that he was not ready, waiting for the letter from Tongzhou Wharf, but he didn't go in to meet him one night, and he left without a trace?
Mrs. Niu patted her thigh and howled, "It's not like it's gone!" I took the chick to Tongzhou yesterday, saying that I was going by boat today. Well? Don't go, don't go! You go to your grandmother Hu first, she has an arrangement, eh? Fat dun! What's wrong with your legs? ”
Chang'an turned around and shouted, "Milk, I'm fine, my thigh is worn out while riding a horse, I'll go find Grandma Hu." ”
"Huh? Don't ride a horse! Mrs. Niu chased Chang'an and shouted, watched Chang'an get on the horse and walked away, slapped her thigh suddenly, and shouted, "Wooden stake, go and set me a car, hurry up!" Oops! Where's the horseback grinding? Which thigh is it? The root of the thigh is connected to the chicken egg! If you grind it with a hanging egg again, why don't you marry a daughter-in-law! ”
Chang'an was sent into the inner house by the guards of the Guogong Mansion, and Mrs. Hu heard that her legs were broken, so she smiled and asked people to take gold sore medicine.
"Don't worry, there's nothing going on in Jiangnan, I guess there's another hidden story in it, your mother and your sister are both female dependents, and it's not eye-catching to go out to string relatives, there are ice flowers, chrysanthemums follow, and you can't let anything happen."
Chang'an said, "Grandma Hu has a boat, can I catch up?" ”
Mrs. Hu pointed to his leg, "Can you still walk?" ”
"Yes, get on the boat and raise it slowly." Chang'an said firmly.
Mrs. Hu smiled and sighed, "You're really worried about your life, what's going on over there in Ningyuan?" Is it okay to train your brother? Dahua said that no one was in charge of local government affairs, and the strings were tired.
I only want you to go, I can discuss with Brother Ling'er and take care of the political affairs of the county, alas! It's good to come back. Luhua is waiting for you at Tongzhou Wharf! ”
When Mrs. Niu came, Chang'an was already gone.
"They are all the fourth daughters-in-law, and they can't hear that others have difficulties for a day. I'm just thinking that she's already at the top when she takes out the heirloom! Who would have thought that she would still come to this show. Mrs. Niu sat paralyzed and complained.
Mrs. Hu comforted, "This is very good, the fourth family is kind-hearted, they are all sincere and good to people, and God will bless good people." ”
Mrs. Niu shook her head and said, "Let's not bother God, the world is big and there are more people!" God is very busy, who knows if you can see our piece? Or how can it be said that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years? ”
Mrs. Hu got up and walked over, pulled Mrs. Niu and said, "Let's go, let's go out to see the piglets, and when the fourth daughter-in-law comes back, we will slaughter which one can grow up and eat meat." ”
"Huh? Chang'an's thighs are worn out, isn't it in the way? Can you grind chicken eggs? Mrs. Niu followed and walked out.
The two of them were talking about riding horses and grinding their legs, saying that Chang'an suffered all the way and slowly walked to the garden.
Chang'an got on the boat, and not long after lying down, he heard the sound of vomiting outside. Leaning against the window and looking out, there was a row of Ning brothers lying on the side of the boat.
Lu Hua stood behind with his hands in his hands, laughing at them that they were not blessed, so they could only ride horses and land roads exhausted.
Yu Liu saw that they couldn't do this, the boat had been gone for three days, and these people had vomited for three days, and they were about to die.
"Wait for the docking, you will rest on the shore for a few days, buy horses and take the land route, and meet at the Yuelai Inn in Hangzhou."
Ning Zhan didn't have the strength to reply, his ribs and forks hurt when he vomited, and his stomach was burning, if it continued like this, his aunt and grandmother would be widowed, and the little ancestor would have no father!
Yu Liu went to the shore to find coolies, helped carry Ning Zhan and them off the boat, booked an inn for them, and asked the innkeeper to invite the best doctor.
Without seasickness, the boatman hoisted his full sails much faster than he had done three days before.
"We're not slow, why can't we catch up with my mother and sister?" Chang'an's eyes were staring ahead, wishing he could see his mother and sister's boat!
Yu Liudao, "Young master, don't worry, when I landed on the shore and entered the city, I inquired, and King Yue did not raise troops in a big way." When he led the troops to Hangzhou, there were only 2,000 personal soldiers.
The floods in Jiangnan are not serious, and the caravan said that it is estimated that the water will recede in half a month. ”
Chang'an looked at both banks, "There are many merchant ships on the river, and it seems that Jiangnan is quite stable." I just don't know what King Yue wants to do? Why did you surround the old house of the Li family? ”
Yu Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey! In the eyes of the world, the Li family is a piece of fat, and whoever has the ability will eat it. King Yue probably also wants to swallow this piece of fat, but I don't know, he doesn't have the ability, don't swallow fat meat, it's fish bones, it's troublesome! ”
"What do you mean?" Chang'an asked.
Yu Liu laughed and said, "What do you say? The Li family, whose slave is the earliest Hong family? That's the house slave of our founding emperor! Everyone knows that the family of the Internal Affairs Office is from the slave family of Gaozu, why don't you see the Internal Affairs Office to provoke Mrs. Li? Xiujinfang took over a group of people released from the palace in a few years, where did they go?
Oh, the embroidery lady of the embroidery brocade workshop is from the palace, but there are still some old grandmothers? You can't all die! The aunt who came out of the palace in her twenties is married? ”
Chang'an frowned and said, "I heard that most of the palace maids are from the family of the Internal Affairs Mansion, like Mama Qi of the Guogong Mansion, who is the aunt and grandmother of the Qi family." ”
Yu Liudao "There are 3,000 palace maids in the palace and countless chamberlains, how can they all come from a family of internal affairs?" It's just that he can be called famous and has a face in the palace, that's the royal ...... What do you say? Like a royal family child? ”
Chang'an laughed sullenly, isn't it! The family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, how powerful is it to say? The people who can influence the inner court of the palace are the same as the servants in the palace. The difference is who he is a slave, and the master determines their height.
"Look! King Yue specified that there was a calculation, but we can't guess what it means. Yu Liu got up and said, "You rest, I'll go to the back and carry a pot of water to make tea." ”
The journey on the ship was boring, Chang'an didn't even bring a book, and he was always empty when he entered the space every day, and his mother and sister seemed to forget that he was worried, and they never entered the space to meet him.
After eating all kinds of fish for half a month, Chang'an felt that he was about to vomit, and the boat finally docked.
Yu Liushu took Chang'an into the Yuelai Inn, and after inquiring with the shopkeeper, he learned that Yunfei had left, leaving a girl who loved food waiting for someone.
Chang'an listened to the shopkeeper's chat, and his brows were furrowed to kill flies.
"Why did you rebel and attack the city? King Yue brought someone to propose marriage to the widow Li and asked to marry Miss Ji, saying that he was hired as a side concubine. The shopkeeper fiddled with the tea set and said.
"That's not right! Brother, it is rumored that the king of Yue rebelled and wanted to clear the king's side. also said that the king of Yue captured Hangzhou, you say this, it doesn't match the rumors! Yu Liu said strangely.
The shopkeeper pushed the teacup in front of Yu Liu and said, "We can't tell you about the royal affairs." I know that King Yue wrote an essay, which means that the emperor is a good child, and the people around him are not good, instigating the emperor to be unfilial and unjust, and not to leave a place for the elders to live in old age.
I don't know about the army, anyway, we didn't see the army attacking the city. Besides, the two thousand soldiers who came with the dowry did not kill people with knives and guns! ”
Chang'an asked, "How is Miss Ji now?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This thing is funny, King Yue didn't even enter the door of Li's house, and I don't know if Mrs. Li is at home." At this time, people are still surrounding the Li family's house!
Still, it's a good thing. Originally, some refugees entered the city and gathered outside Li's house to beg for alms, but when King Yue's people came, the refugees dispersed. ”
"Didn't rebel? Why is it rumored that King Yue has raised an army? Chang'an was puzzled.
The shopkeeper handed Chang'an a cup of tea with both hands, and whispered, "I guess, this is someone who can't see the stability of the court, and is stirring up chaos!" Alas! It's really chaotic, and our people's lives will be sad! ”
