Chapter 198: Warning
Zhou E watched the training for two more days at Jianmen Pass, and in the evening of that day, she jumped off the big stone, and was shaking her neck back and forth, thinking about where to eat something, and a centurion with a small eye greeted her, two or three steps away, bent one knee to salute, and then took two steps forward, and said with a smile:
"Greetings to the general, little Wu Xing, now in charge of the repair of the plank roads in various places in this Jianmen Pass, I give the first order to report to the general."
Hearing his last sentence to report to her, Zhou E's eyes widened.
"I also explained a few words from above, saying that it was: The tofu in our Jianmen Pass is much stronger than the tofu made by Sister Xi'er, so that you can't eat the best pig's head meat, just eat a few more tofu."
Zhou E dragged her voice and sighed, "You said that you would give the order, which one is the best?" ”
Zhou E said as she lit Wu Xing's military uniform.
"That's a bit of a long story."
Small-eyed Wu Xing smiled.
"The small name is on the roster of this Jianmen Pass, and the generals and colonels above say a word, we have to listen to it.
But the small messenger wants to receive the money and materials, which is transferred from the Ministry of Industry in Chengdu, and the government office has passed it over and left a mark.
Half of the silver allocated every year in Chengdu Mansion is the other half, and the other half is allocated from the hands of the treasurer of Jingda to the small here.
Annual report, in duplicate, one to Chengdu government, one to Jingda shopkeeper. ”
Zhou E only blinked when she heard this, and simply took two steps back, squatted on the big stone again, and motioned to Wu Xing, "You also sit down, sit down and say." ”
"Yes." Wu Xing leaned against the big stone with a little bit of control, "The little one just said this is the head of the big shopkeeper."
The little godfather, surnamed Hou, let's start from the beginning.
The little one is an orphan, his hometown is not in Shuzhong, there was no way to fight in the Central Plains in those years, the little father and mother took the little one to Shuzhong to flee, first the little mother died, and later, the little father also died, and the little one was about ten years old at that time, and fled into Hanzhong City with the crowd.
The little one had been so good at looking at it since he was a child, and when he passed a mule and horse shop, he saw it at a glance, so he slipped into the backyard of the mule and horse shop, and helped cut the hay and sweep the floor, and the shopkeeper said that the little one was a smart boy, so he made a bunk for me in their mule and horse shop.
It's just more than a year or two years, the little godfather went to the mule and horse shop, and looked at the small one at a glance, saying that he wanted to accept an apprentice, and asked the little one if he was willing to follow him, the little one's eyes were so wow, and when he saw that the little godfather was a good person with ability, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
That's it, the little one followed the godfather to Chengdu Mansion first, lived in Chengdu Mansion for three or four years, and then lived in Mianyang for three or four years, and then arrived at this Jianmen Pass, at that time the small one was also in his twenties, and the little godfather said, this Jianmen Pass is a good place, let's live in this Jianmen Pass.
That's it, our two fathers bought a house at Jianmen Pass, and the little godfather asked someone to send the little one to the repair on an errand, and married the little one a daughter-in-law.
In the blink of an eye, the little one has been doing this repair for thirteen years, from a small worker, to this centurion. ”
"I understand your life experience, does this have something to do with you, that boss?" Zhou E understood, and was confused.
"Yes!" Wu Xing responded happily. "When the little one was just studying on an errand, it was the money boss who led the big guy, and at that time, the money head received half of the silver from Chengdu Mansion, and the other half of the silver was brought out from the little godfather.
Later, the money boss sued the old man, and the little one took the centurion, and the little godfather took the little one to see the Jingda shopkeeper, and from then on, it was the little one who received the silver from the Jingda shopkeeper, and the little godfather didn't care about it. ”
Zhou E dragged her voice again and nodded.
But she still didn't understand, what does this have to do with the princess?
"The little one has wondered since he watched the money boss receive the silver in the hands of the little godfather, this thing is wondering, right? The little one asked the little godfather, but the little godfather didn't tell the little one, and it wasn't time to say.
Later, the little one took over the repair from the money boss, and the little godfather took the little one to Mianyang, and when he came back from Mianyang, the little godfather told the little one.
The stall managed by the little godfather and the shopkeeper Jingda is said to have been prepared by Queen Xian'an, and the little godfather and the shopkeeper Jingda were also prepared by Queen Xian'an. ”
Wu Xing's words paused, and he looked at Zhou E with a smile.
Zhou E simply sighed.
She understood.
As soon as she understood, Zhou E immediately became nervous.
"Why didn't you find a place to find me? Look here, all these bunches of people, this is really! ”
"That's the case, when the boss told the little one to report to General Zhou, he brought a sentence, saying that this is a fair and honest matter, and there is no need to be sneaky.
A small ponder, this is above board......
General, you say yes, there are a lot of people here, and the small ones have come here. ”
"Oh!" Zhou E got down from the big rock, "Then walk and talk." What do you mean by asking you to find me? ”
"The little one doesn't know, the word from above is to let the little one find you, and everything is at your command." Wu Xing followed Zhou E with a smile on his face.
"You, this and that leader of the silver, do Han Commander know about it?" Zhou E frowned and asked.
"Commander Han has never asked about small silver materials, as for the rest, the small messenger has done a good job, and Commander Han has praised it many times.
Mr. Xun asked, but he also asked: Has the silver arrived this year? The materials can still be used, just these words, nothing else has been asked. ”
"That's right! Your daughter-in-law and children are all in Jianmenguan? Where's your godfather? Zhou E suddenly stopped, glared and asked.
"The little godfather has long been out of Jianmen, two or three years ago, one day, the godfather suddenly said that he had something to go out for a while, so he left.
The younger daughter-in-law returned to her parents' house at the beginning of last month with the younger children, and her mother's family brought a letter saying that her mother was sick. The little daughter-in-law's maiden home is in Mianyang, far away.
The little daughter-in-law is a good woman, very filial, and the little daughter-in-law thinks that the little godfather is the little father, hehe. ”
Wu Xing looked at Zhou E, his little eyes shining.
Zhou E exhaled, "That's good, I can't think of anything at this time, I don't think there will be anything." Where do you live? Take me over and see, and if anything happens, I'll find you. ”
"The small home is very close to the General's Mansion, just half a street away, to this side."
Wu Xing took half a step forward and led the way sideways.
……………………
Before Zhou E walked to Wu Xing's house, Mr. Xun got a letter.
Before the little guy finished speaking, Mr. Xun's eyes widened, and as soon as the little guy's voice fell, Mr. Xun rushed out.
Mr. Xun rushed out and asked anxiously, "What about the general?" Go please! Generals to the council chamber, quick! The sooner the better! ”
Mr. Xun rushed into the conference hall and turned back and forth four or five times, and Commander Han arrived.
"What's wrong? Something is wrong? When Commander Han saw Mr. Xun's face, his face also changed.
"It's not a big deal, it's not just now, it's our carelessness!" Mr. Xun sat on the chair and patted Gao Ji sadly.
"Since it's not just now, it's useless to be in a hurry, you can be steady." Commander Han's face was even more ugly, but compared to Mr. Xun, he was much calmer.
"On the repair of Jianmen Pass, that Wu Xing, go to General Zhou." Mr. Xun sighed a few times and looked at Han Tong.
Commander Han was stunned, "He went to see her......"
"The origin of the half of the silver, we once asked the Bao family, and the Bao family said at the time that the prime minister said that it was a legacy of the previous dynasty, so let us rest assured?"
Mr. Xun smiled wryly.
"Since the prime minister knows, we haven't thought much about it.
This legacy of the former dynasty, I am afraid that it was arranged by Queen Xian'an, at the beginning, the imperial court's military, political, civil, military, and political together, most of them came from Empress Xian'an. ”
"Most of those people are from the An family." Commander Han answered, stayed for a moment, and slapped Gao Ji fiercely.
"Since the prime minister knows about this legacy of the previous dynasty, he must also know that this legacy comes from Queen Xian'an, after that girl was born, how could he still put this plank road in the hands of these people?
There is also An Jia, from An Jia to show his banner, until now, it has been half a year younger, right?
Over there in Chengdu Mansion, why didn't you say a word? ”
Commander Han's eyes are going to be red, is this to trap him?
Mr. Xun looked at Commander Han with a wry smile.
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know what the prime minister thought.
"What should I do?" Commander Han wiped his face and looked at Mr. Xun.
"This matter of the legacy of the previous dynasty, whether the eldest prince knows about it, we don't know, and the second prince must not know." Mr. Xun's tone was a little astringent.
"Bao Da knows!" Commander Han roared.
"General, don't worry. Bao Da knew that it was because Bao Da was an envoy of the Ministry of Works, and he specially went to ask the prime minister, the second son, ......"
Mr. Xun smiled wryly, a little unable to speak.
"He didn't say it?" Commander Han looked incredulous.
"Alas, General, if I hadn't said it, it would have been fine." Mr. Xun patted his thighs and sighed.
"So what now?" Commander Han rubbed his head vigorously.
"General, we can't think about Chengdu Mansion now, we have to think about it, over there!"
Mr. Xun nodded in the direction of Hanzhong.
"I know, what should I do?" Commander Han slapped Gao Ji one after another, he was really annoyed.
"I think so, the general will come forward and give General Zhou a blow." Mr. Xun frowned for a long time and suggested.
"How many days has she been here? Also catch the wind...... I know that's what it means, okay, or today, you go in person, go to General Zhou, and say that I'm too busy to take care of it these days...... Alas, you look and say. ”
Commander Han waved his hand irritably.
"Call Da Lang too, there are some things that we can't say, but Da Lang can say them." Mr. Xun stood up and confessed again.
"Okay, you go quickly, I'll go and get the kitchen ready. Oh, what the fuck ......"
Commander Han stood up and scolded his mother and walked to the back house.
……………………
Zhou E just shook back to her residence, sat under the porch, carefully sorted out Wu Xing's search for her, didn't figure out anything, and was hesitating whether to go out to find a tofu shop to eat tofu, or let Lao Hong tell the kitchen of the general's mansion to send an extra meal today, and he didn't hesitate, Lao Hong shouted outside the courtyard gate: Mr. Xun is here.
Zhou E hurriedly stood up and walked out of the courtyard in a few steps.
When Mr. Xun saw Zhou E, he hurriedly bowed his hand, "General Zhou." ”
Zhou E took a few steps down the steps and bowed her hand, "Hello, sir." ”
"It's been six or seven days since the general arrived at this Sword Gate Pass, right?"
"Seven and a half days." Zhou E simply answered.
"It's a blink of an eye." Mr. Xun smiled, "Originally, General Zhou arrived on the first day, and our general should have given General Zhou the wind and dust." But for the first few days, I was not here, and all the trivial matters were in the hands of our generals.
General Zhou didn't know that changing this for that at this time, it was the busiest time, and our general was busy every day as soon as he opened his eyes.
In the past two days, I have come back, but there are too many things accumulated a while ago, and I think that General Zhou is not in a hurry to go back, so this matter of catching the wind has been delayed for a few more days.
Is General Zhou busy today? If he is not busy, our general wants to invite General Zhou to come over to the house to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”
"I'm not busy, I'm very idle every day, and you don't know, let's leave now?" Zhou E responded very simply.
"Then let's go now." Mr. Xun smiled, turned sideways to let Zhou E go, and together with Zhou E, went to the gate of the General's Mansion.
Commander Han held this reception banquet in the main hall of the General's Mansion.
Zhou E's residence is the outer courtyard of the general's mansion, Mr. Xun went over, and invited Zhou E to come over, it was only two or three quarters of an hour, so after a while, the main hall of the general's mansion has been cleaned up, and on a table in the middle, seven or eight exquisite cold dishes have been placed, and Han Dalang is bringing a few small servants and moving four or five jars of wine in.
"I don't know what kind of wine General Zhou likes to drink, I took a few more things, these two jars are from the capital, and they are said to be excellent new wines, these two jars are good wines in Chengdu Mansion, and this jar is the local famous wine in Jianmenguan."
Han Dalang saw the salute, straightened up, and introduced with a smile.
"I'm a shallow drinker, and I'm not particular about it, I love desserts."
"That week, the general tasted this jade brew from Chengdu Mansion." Mr. Xun smiled and continued.
Commander Han hurriedly came in from behind, greeted Zhou E, exchanged a few words of greeting, and politely asked Zhou E to sit up.
Zhou E really excused herself twice, and when she saw that Commander Han had to let her sit on the top, she didn't shirk any more, and sat down honestly and unceremoniously.
Commander Han and Mr. Xun were on the left and on the right, Han Dalang sat down with him, and after a few rounds of drinking, Zhou E's face was a little red.
Han Dalang hurriedly filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Zhou E, Han Commander urged the hot dishes one after another, and Mr. Xun poured Zhou E a cup of tea and talked about gossip.
"I heard that General Zhou and the princess have a good relationship?"
"It's irreversible." Zhou E took a sip of wine.
The wine recommended by Mr. Xun tastes really good.
"Let's see what I say.
On the first day of the princess's arrival in the capital, I followed her, followed her to watch plays, go shopping, listen to music, eat everywhere, watch dramas and see them together, shopping was okay, I could eat together, and then there were peach nongs.
Momonong is shocking, the princess looks at her like an ordinary person, this and that, even if there is such a thing as murder, it's nothing.
Can you understand what I say? ”
Zhou E looked at Mr. Xun and asked.
Mr. Xun nodded hurriedly.
Tao Nong is a shocking one, and so is this General Zhou, and that princess, well, too!
"Besides, the princess can trust me, and I can also trust the princess, for example, you told me a while ago that the prince asked me to come here to see if you Han Tongjiang would kill me, and he used me as a pathfinder.
When the prince ordered me, the princess was also on the side, so it was definitely not what you said. ”
Mr. Xun smiled dryly.
"That's all, everything else, the princess is as smart as the prince, I can't, I'm stupid.
I often follow the princess, watching her talk to the prince, you and I say a word, I understand everything, but I don't know what it means, looking at them talking and talking, you look at me, I look at you, laugh, I don't understand, why are you laughing?
The princess doesn't talk much, she can not say a word for three or five days or ten days, and the prince doesn't talk much, and it is not common for her to say a word all day, they just sat like that, the princess looked at the princess, and the prince understood, I didn't understand. ”
Han Dalang couldn't stop laughing when Zhou E said.
"Listening to General Zhou say this, the princess, like the prince, is extremely not simple." Mr. Xun said with a smile.
"Of course, if it was simple, she wouldn't have survived." Zhou E took a sip of wine.
"The princess and General Zhou are so good friends and trust their lives, it must be because when the princess first arrived in the capital, she was guarded by General Zhou." Mr. Xun motioned for the girl to add another pot of wine to Zhou E.
"That's not it, it's just a good match."
Zhou E replied casually, glanced at Mr. Xun, looked at the obedient Han Commander from Mr. Xun, put down the cup, and laughed.
"I don't know why the prince and the princess sent me here, but today Wu Xing looked for me, I pondered, nine times out of ten, it is this sword gate, the prince and the princess are not very relieved."
Commander Han's face changed slightly. Mr. Xun hurriedly smiled and said, "General Zhou, where are you talking ......?"
"From Hanzhong to Jianmen Pass, this journey is really dangerous, and Commander Han and the princess of Qin have a father-killing enmity.
What do you want to know? ”
Zhou E asked bluntly.
"General Zhou's words ......," Mr. Xun smiled wryly.
"General Zhou is a cheerful person, I'll just say it."
Commander Han slapped his glass on the table.
"Don't hide it from General Zhou, I'm just worried, the princess of Qin State can't help but worry, I'm a person with a hard temper, and I haven't thought about scolding the prince and princess, I'm afraid of offending people, I don't know yet, General Zhou came over this trip, I'm afraid that it is the warning of the prince and the princess.
Alas, there is really no way to go back. ”
"Princess Qin's hatred, according to my opinion, doesn't need to be ignored at all, but it's me, not you.
As for not stammering with the princess and princess, hey. ”
Zhou E glanced at Commander Han and laughed dryly.
"The princess has just arrived in the capital for the first year, and she has to wear big wool clothes, and the princess is still dressed in summer tulle and silk clothes, and her nose is so long that she is so cold, she found an opportunity to run out and go to Linglong Fang to buy clothes to wear.
The people in the capital, from the emperor to the gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion, including me, including the old lady An in the Prime Minister's Mansion, all stood up and watched, and no one stretched out their hands.
Tao Nong mentioned it once, saying that everyone was doing their hands, and the princess was very strange, saying that she didn't know each other, why should people help her? Why be nice to her?
The princess, like the prince, sees people and things clearly, and she doesn't look like a person.
At this time, you are you, we are us, don't say that you didn't talk to the prince and princess, just do something, I don't think the prince and princess will care.
Not everyone thinks it's good to belong to Shudi, I heard the prince tell the princess.
I think, don't think so much, like the princess of Qin, when you see the prince, just ask him face to face.
If you think it's not good to be attached, it's nothing, then it's a big deal? ”
Mr. Xun was beaten by Zhou E's sentence, and he choked and coughed.
"General Zhou is really good at laughing, and as a general, he always acts according to orders. There is an order from above, and I have to do it. Han Dalang smiled at his father's words.
"Then don't even think about it.
I didn't see anything else, but General Han seems to be very embarrassed, if it is difficult to be like this because of the above, it is still good for our prince, I have followed our prince for so many years, and the prince's military orders have always been one and two are two, and no one has ever been so embarrassed.
I seem to have a little too much wine.
Okay, that's it, General Han, and Mr. Xun, just ask me if you have anything to say, I know everything, but I don't know much. ”
Zhou E said, pressing the table and standing up.
"Da Lang, send General Zhou back." Commander Han stood up and looked at Zhou E, who was a little staggering, and didn't stay long.
Han Dalang responded, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to help Zhou E, Zhou E waved his hand to signal no, and arched his hand at Commander Han and Mr. Xun, although it was a little crooked, but he went out fairly steadily and walked out.
Commander Han and Mr. Xun followed to the gate of the courtyard, watching Han Dalang and Zhou E walk away, and the two talked in a low voice while walking back.
"Sir, look?"
"Or, wait until they get to the Sword Gate Pass, and see what happens?" Mr. Xun looked at Han Tong and said.
"Well, that's all there is to it." Commander Han sighed.
At this moment, who is in the palm of whose hand, I can't say, what else can I do.
