Chapter 646: Go to Gusu Mansion
According to the development of the original plot, the hurdle of Xiao Lingyan's illness and death has passed. But if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what happens, and it's always a big mistake to be careful.
Xiao Lingyan hurriedly nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself, and I will definitely be careful." I not only paid attention to the imperial doctor in the palace, but also found two very powerful Lang Zhong among the people and raised them in the palace of King Qi. ”
"I finally picked up a small life, and I am still happy with you, and I am about to live a happy life with you, how can I let myself die if I am not careful. So don't worry, wife, I'll be careful and careful. If there is any discomfort, you must be notified. Even if it's a false alarm and you have to work hard back and forth, I'll tell you. I am very sorry for my life, but I am not willing to leave you in this strange time and space. ”
The officials of the imperial court cannot leave the place where they hold their posts without the emperor's order. In other words, Zhao Ruxi left Beijing and wanted to take advantage of Mu Xiu's day off to go back to the capital for a walk, but he was not allowed.
Once Xiao Lingyan felt unwell and wanted Zhao Ruxi to rush back, she had to sneak around in the middle of the night to hurry.
"As long as you're okay, what's the problem with running back and forth? I'm fine. Zhao Ruxi said.
Xiao Lingyan said wistfully: "The difficult thing is this half a year. The situation is settled next spring, and no matter what the situation is, we will be married. At that time, we will be together and will never be separated. ”
Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Yes, never separate." ”
The two snuggled up to each other and did not speak for a long time.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Ruxi left the capital with the old lady, the Zhu family and a group of people, Xiao Lingyan's guards and secret guards and went to Gusu City.
The guards sent by Xiao Lingyan will go according to the normal procedure, and they must go to Renyazi first, and then ask Zhou Chun to buy it back for Zhao Ruxi.
But now that the time is urgent, and they don't have the time to make such a roundabout, Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi directly and rudely stuffed the two men and one woman into the team.
Except for Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng, who knew Xiao Lingyan's existence, to the outside world, they all said that these three people were Zhuang slaves selected from Xiaotaozhuang.
The old lady and the Zhu family have always been at ease with Zhao Ruxi, and they can't wait for her to bring more people to office. Therefore, there is no doubt about the origin of the three people. The others were even less suspicious. Because Zhao has picked a lot of people from Zhuang Nu to do things in the past two years, but at that time, he picked people from Bailuzhuang, not Xiaotaozhuang.
……
There have been no major disasters in Dajin in the past ten years, and the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are not heavy, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, plus Xiao Qi is also very strict about public security, so there are not many robbers blocking the road.
Zhao Ruxi and his entourage were dozens of people, and the old lady and the Zhu family all changed out of their fancy clothes, took off their precious jewelry, and pretended to be medium-sized people at Zhao Ruxi's suggestion; Gao Weiqiang, Ma Sheng and others were strictly guarded, so they didn't have the idea of beating them.
Zhou Chun originally traveled back and forth to Gusu to buy a house and buy a property, and later sent Zhao Yuanxun over. I am very familiar with the situation along the way. He arranged the food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way properly, and Zhang Chi was moderate.
The group walked slowly, walked on the road for five days, and finally entered Gusu City by the afternoon of the fifth day.
"Mother." Zhao Yuanxun was already waiting at the gate of the city, and when he saw a team of people from Suiping Bofu, he hurriedly stepped forward and called out to a carriage that Liu Quan was riding and following.
He was most worried that his mother was old and pampered, and she couldn't stand the fatigue of running around and fell ill halfway.
The curtain on the window was pulled back, revealing the old lady's red face.
"Sister Xi transformed the carriage, and it was not bumpy at all to sit up, and I went to sleep when I got in the carriage; Her housekeeper Zhou Chun is really capable, and he arranged it properly all the way. I didn't suffer anything. The old lady laughed.
"That's good, that's good." Seeing that his mother was radiant and did not show any tiredness, Zhao Yuanxun was relieved.
The group entered the city and arrived at Zhao's mansion, the old lady looked at the mansion and was also surprised, turned to Zhao Ruxi and said, "How much did this house cost?" ”
"Ten thousand taels of silver." Zhao Ruxi said with a humble heart.
After speaking, she hurriedly added: "This is Gusu, and it is such a location, the house is good, and the area is wide, in fact, according to the usual price, 10,000 taels can't be taken at all." Isn't this my third senior brother in Dali Temple? And ye know their yamen...... cough, from time to time I have to deal with some Zhuangzi and houses, my senior brother asked me, and I happened to have money on hand, so I bought it. If we don't live in it, rent it out, or sell it, we can make thousands of taels. ”
As soon as she said this, everyone believed it.
Dali Temple often sells the real estate and land of criminal officials. That's how Zhao Ruxi's Zhuangzi in Bac Ninh came about.
With Wu Zong's status in Dali Temple and his relationship with Zhao Ruxi, it is really not a problem to have a house in Gusu and Zhangluo for her.
Zhao Yuanxun said: "The situation is really as Sister Xi said. This house is something that can be met but not sought. Now as long as the wind is released, fifteen thousand taels of silver can be sold at any time; If you are not in a hurry, wait for the buyer slowly, and if you like this place and are not bad for money, 17,000 or 8,000 is no problem. ”
"Hey, our family can live a good life now, thanks to the deadwood monks. If he hadn't taken Sister Xi as an apprentice, no matter how capable Sister Xi was, she wouldn't be able to stand at her current height. The old lady sighed.
As soon as the group arrived in the hall and sat down, someone came to report: "Uncle, Master Zhang sent someone to hand over the post, saying that he wanted to say goodbye to the old lady." ”
"Mother, you're tired of traveling, why don't I push it and let him come back tomorrow?" Zhao Yuanxun said.
Hearing this, Zhao Ruxi's eyebrows raised slightly.
After being together for so long, she has long understood the personality of the cheap daddy.
Zhao Yuanxun has been weak since he was a child, and his ability and talent are not outstanding, and compared with his eldest son, his father prefers the third brother who is a concubine, and he intentionally or unintentionally snubs him, which has developed his slightly inferior temperament.
Humility is what is manifested. He is never strong, gentle and polite, and not aggressive at all.
But now, he shows a tough side to his boss.
It seems that Zhao Yuanxun has done a good job in Gusu Mansion during this time, at least his boss is letting or scolding him. Otherwise, Zhao Yuanxun would not have become like this.
"No, no, no. I'm not tired at all, you let him in. People come to see me with good intentions, how can they be so lazy? The old lady hurriedly said.
She can't let her son offend her boss because of herself.
"Mother is right. If you neglect Lord Zhang, it will affect the reputation of our sister Xi. If others say that our champions are above the top and look down on people, it will be bad. Zhu said.
As soon as Zhao Yuanxun heard this, he called someone to call Zhang Shun back.
