Chapter 494: Entering Beijing
Lu Yanyi also sighed slightly: "Becoming a king or defeating a coward, how can those false reputations be able to compete with swords?" And the most important thing now is that the Su family has Su Ge Lao who holds real power in the court, and the Zhu family, although Zhu Anchang is also extraordinary, is only a minister, not as powerful as the Su family! ”
Hanguan was young in the end, and he didn't feel deeply about these, so he asked Wu Langzhong instead: "Then Uncle Wu, how did you know about such a secret thing when you went on the expedition?" ”
Wu Langzhong smiled: "Silly boy, have you forgotten what I do?" I have dealings with the people in the Tai Hospital, and others don't know about this war, but the people in the Tai Hospital know best. Now they are all busy with a pot of porridge, and they have to leave some people to serve in the palace, and they have to divide most of the masters to go to the front line. So now the hospital is in a dilemma. ”
Qingwan was not very interested in this news, but was still sad about the upcoming separation: "Uncle Wu, when you leave, I don't know when we will meet?" ”
"Good boy, don't be sad, since ancient times, there are still days when mountains and rivers meet, as long as you have a heart, you can see each other again after all."
Speaking of which, the guy had already sent the packed snacks, Wu Langzhong took it, and he didn't even have time to eat, so he got up to leave.
"Mr. Wu, let's have dinner together before leaving?" Lu Yanyi also sincerely retained.
"No, it's not early, I have to hurry. Take care of yeither! ”
"Uncle Wu, the situation on the battlefield is dangerous, there are no eyes for knives and guns, you must be more careful!" Qingwan only felt that there were many words that had not been finished, but she choked in her throat, and she didn't know what to say, so she only said such a sentence.
"Okay, uncle has written it down." Wu Langzhong said lovingly: "Don't worry, I've been wandering the rivers and lakes all these years, what winds and waves haven't I seen?" It doesn't matter. When this battle is won, maybe we can see each other again in the capital! ”
The eyes of the sister and brother were red, and they reluctantly sent Wu Langzhong out, and did not return to the store until their backs were gone.
Hanguan finished eating in a hurry, and was about to go to the street to have a look. Qingwan couldn't help it, so she had to tell him a few words and let him go.
After the younger brother left, Qingwan said worriedly: "What I am most worried about now is that after the eldest brother enters Beijing, in the face of the complicated situation of the Zhu and Su families, will there be anything to do?" She frowned: "I don't know if I let him take the talent test, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
"Don't worry," Lu Yanyi said: "Hanguan is a good seedling, it's a pity to nest in a mountain village." If you want to get ahead, you have to go through these tribulations. As for the situation between the DPRK and China, there will be fighting at any time, but this time it is more dangerous. But you don't have to think about it so much, over the years, I have already been involuntarily in the whirlpool, and I have also broken through. ”
"It's come to this, and it's about to be in the capital, and I don't want to do that." Qingwan sighed softly, and when she saw her brother coming back, she didn't say anything.
"What, what's the fun here?" Lu Yanyi said with a smile.
Hanguan shook his head: "It's about the same as our state city, there's nothing to see." ”
"I'll just say," Qingwan said: "When I arrived in the capital, I had you playing, why should I be in a hurry now?" ”
As he was talking, the guy had already brought the food up, and after eating, Qingwan changed the medicine for Lu Yanyi again, because the foundation of the body was strong, and the medicine was effective, the wound had been much better. Qingwan was a little relieved.
After getting into the carriage, the three of them talked and laughed, and the journey was not lonely. Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and finally arrived in the capital on August 27. Because of Qingwan's careful care along the way, Lu Yanyi's wounds have healed, but the three of them are still a little uneasy in their hearts, and the early warning assassination is secretly lurking with many crises ahead.
It was already dusk when I arrived in the capital, and before I entered the city gate, I saw an endless stream of people coming in and out of the city, buying and selling, all of which were very lively, not to mention the state city, even the prosperity of the provincial capital, which was also very different.
Hanguan looked very excited, lifted the curtains, looked at the scene on both sides intently, and said excitedly from time to time This and that, Qingwan was just faint, but Lu Yanyi talked with him very happily, and pointed everywhere, telling Hanguan where it was.
"Sister, you taste it! What kind of water is this from the Jade Cold Spring? It tastes different from the water in our hometown! ”
There was a tea stall on the side of the road, Hanguan stopped the car, jumped down and bought a few cups of tea, took a sip, and said happily.
Qingwan took two sips and smiled, "It's just a little sweet." ”
"Yuhan Spring is near the capital, the spring water here has been evaluated, known as the first in the world, and the water in the palace is pulled from there every day. If you change it elsewhere, you won't be able to drink the tea brewed by this spring water. Lu Yanyi said as he drank tea.
"Young Master, Miss Wei, Young Master Wei, check the pedestrians in front, please get out of the car." The driver's voice came in.
"In the past, this city gate was not so tight, but now it must be a relationship with the Turks." Lu Yanyi's face was slightly gloomy, and he got out of the car first, and then he took the crown and Qingwan down in turn.
When he entered the city, the coachman asked, "Young master, where are you going now?" ”
"Go to the house on Xuanqian Street."
Qingwan immediately said, "Where is that?" Let's just find a place to stay on our own, you don't have to bother to accompany us anymore. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yanyi was slightly stunned: "Could it be that you can't trust me?" ”
"It's not"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yanyi: "You still treat me as an outsider?" ”
"Sister," Hanguan was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, just follow along, Brother Lu can always arrange it properly." ”
Qingwan glanced at her younger brother and thought to herself: What do you know?
"There is a house of mine on Xuanqian Street, in a small road, extremely quiet, just suitable for your sister and brother." Lu Yanyi's voice softened: "It's not far from the house on my palace right street, so it's convenient to take care of each other." ”
Qingwan couldn't help but be a little surprised, she didn't expect that Lu Yanyi would arrange another residence, and she thought that they must be allowed to live in the same house with Lu Yanyi.
"Brother, let's find a place to live closer to the country's eunuch, right?" Qingwan is still reluctant to live in the Lu family's house, which makes her always feel a little awkward.
"I'm not coaxing you, the price of a house in the capital is not as good as elsewhere, even if it is a small house, the rent is expensive, and you don't have much money on you, I'm afraid that you will be poor if you live for a few days," Lu Yanyi said solemnly, listening to the tone was not a joke at all: "And you are new to the city, even if you run for a few days, you may not be able to find a suitable house." ”
As soon as he said this, Han Guan first agreed: "Sister, let's live with Brother Lu first, right?" In a few days, I'm enrolled, and when your business is done, you can move out. ”
Qingwan was still speechless.
"Don't worry, I won't let you live in vain," Lu Yanyi seemed to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "You have to pay me rent." But for the sake of us being friends, I can let you owe it first, and then pay me back when we have enough money. How's that, now rest assured, right? ”
"Sister, let's go," Hanguan said: "When your cosmetics business starts, can't you move to the shop?" Don't hesitate! For Brother Lu's sake, let's go and see if it's okay? ”
These few words reminded Qingjuan, so he nodded.
"Let's go, when you get there, you'll see." Lu Yanyi didn't say anything more, and ordered the coachman to drive forward.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and when a few people got out of the car, they saw that it was indeed a small and compact house, which looked very simple from the outside, but the surroundings were very quiet, and there was hardly a single idler.
"Greetings to the young master!" When Menzi saw it, he hurriedly came up to salute and said with a smile: "Everything is cleaned up, I know that the young master will arrive in the next two days!" These two are Miss Wei and Young Master Wei, right? Please come in with the little ones. ”
Qingwan didn't say anything, and when she entered the second gate, she saw that the servants and girls in the courtyard came up to salute, Lu Yanyi smiled and asked, "What, is it still worth it here?" ”
"Thank you." Qingwan looked at this quiet courtyard and was very satisfied.
"You guys live here steadily, my rent is not low, wait for your cosmetics business to start, save money to pay me back!" Lu Yanyi said with a smile.
Qingwan knew that he said this for comfort, and there was a warmth in his heart, and at this time, an old man in his fifties, looking like a housekeeper, walked over and said with a smile: "I am the steward of this house, surnamed Ding, if Miss Houwei has anything to do, just tell the old slave." ”
"Steward Ding, I'll work more for you in the future." Qingwan also said politely.
"Miss doesn't need to be polite, as early as a month ago, the young master sent us a letter to clean up this house, and said that Miss likes to be quiet, let more flowers and plants. I wonder if the young lady is still satisfied with it? If there is anything wrong, the old slave will send someone to clean it up. ”
"It's all good," Qingwan smiled, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"This is what the minions should do," Steward Ding said: "The young master is very concerned about this matter, and he has not even cared so much about the house on Gongyou Street where he lives. ”
"Alright, there's nothing going on here, you guys go down first." Lu Yanyi interrupted him.
"Yes, young master." Steward Ding hurriedly agreed and left with everyone.
"Brother Lu," Hanguan was very moved: "Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, let's just live in your house for a few days temporarily." ”
Lu Yanyi smiled: "Your sister doesn't like to be disturbed, so it's better to live alone." As he spoke, he said to Qingwan: "I'm also tired on the way, take a good rest today, and I'll take you to see the shop tomorrow." ”
