Chapter 131: Lingering
Xie Chongning elegantly picked up the chopsticks, and was not ready to answer.
Guangping Hou smiled weakly, "If it weren't for the seriousness of the epidemic in Xiaowan, I would definitely leave Lord Xie to have a good time here, but I also know that Lord Xie has important things to do, and it is inconvenient for me to stay more." ”
"Although the epidemic is serious, it has spread now, and it cannot be solved in two days." Xie Chongning casually sandwiched a distant bun for Mu Yu and put it in her bowl.
"We rushed all the way from the capital to Yancheng, everyone is tired, if the Hou Ye doesn't mind, we want to rest in your mansion for two more days, by the way, we also experience the customs of Yancheng, and then go back on the road."
Guangping Hou's smile immediately stiffened, "This ...... I don't mind, it's also convenient in this house, but Lord Xie has received the emperor's order, and it's not good to stay in Yancheng for too long. ”
"The emperor is far away in the capital, as long as you don't say it, I don't say it, the emperor shouldn't know, right?" As soon as Xie Chongning said this, he really had the appearance of a great minister.
Mu Yan'an sat quietly on the side and ate steamed buns, eating melons throughout the whole process, and gradually accepted his own Xie Chongning's speculation just now, it seems that in this Yancheng, the epidemic is even more serious than they imagined.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, and the Marquis of Guangping wanted to get rid of Xie Chongning, but he couldn't think of a way, so he sat in his position alone and was in a hurry.
"Hou Ye is really thinking about us, but Hou Ye also knows that we have been non-stop all the way, people are not resting well, and horses have not been rested, adults are afraid that we will continue to drive This horse can't bear it, if Hou Ye is really embarrassed, then we won't bother more."
Mu Yu said so, and the Marquis of Guangping also knew that if he didn't want to keep them, he would be a little strange, so he smiled and nodded reluctantly, "Mrs. Xie is really joking, I'm not embarrassed, since this is the case, then Lord Xie will have a good rest in the house." ”
Guangping Hou wiped his mouth and stood up, "The two of you eat slowly, I have already eaten, now I will tell the housekeeper and let him settle down the people brought by the adults." ”
"Thank you so much, Hou Ye is so enthusiastic, when the adults successfully return to the capital to see the emperor, they will definitely be able to help Hou Ye say a few good words in front of the emperor, Hou Ye has gained power in the capital, but don't forget us." Mu Yu smiled, and picked up the emperor again.
Xie Chongning turned his head sideways, and when the Marquis of Guangping walked out, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Did you say the same when you bought those medicinal materials?" ”
Mu Yu smiled "hehe", revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "It's not easy to mention you, I naturally have to mention a good person." ”
The emperor is seriously ill, and Xie Chongning has to deal with so many things alone against the opposition of the cabinet, which is naturally difficult to do, but if she borrows the emperor's name, things will be different, she can't waste this good opportunity in vain, right?
When Mu Yu and Xie Chongning returned to the courtyard arranged for them by Guangping Hou, they found that there were many more people in the courtyard, which was called a lot of convenience, but in fact, more eyeliner was placed around the two of them, monitoring their every move.
The two put on their veils and walked out of the courtyard, just in time to bump into the housekeeper who "passed" here, and the housekeeper saw that the two of them were fully armed, and couldn't help but be vigilant, "Are you going to go out?" ”
"I'm an idle person, when I entered the city yesterday, I felt that this wild goose city was extremely prosperous, and I always wanted to take a look." Mu Yu pulled the reason on himself, "Don't you just pull the adults to go out with me." ”
"Then I'll prepare a carriage for you, it's more convenient to have one." While asking, the housekeeper called someone and directly prepared a carriage for Mu Yu and Xie Chongning.
Then the housekeeper looked at Mu Yu again, "Hey, are you two not with guards, although this Yancheng is prosperous, but your two identities are not ordinary, you must be more careful when you go out, I will arrange two more guards for you." ”
Mu Yu lowered his head and deliberately concealed his smile, but he did not refuse the housekeeper's request. This housekeeper and the Marquis of Guangping were already both soldiers, and if they completely rejected their request, they would definitely be even more suspicious.
"Then there's Steward Lao."
"No trouble, no trouble, this is what a villain should do." The housekeeper installed the coachman and the guards, and then he was relieved to send it to the door and did not follow.
Mu Yu and Xie Chongning sat in the luxuriously decorated carriage and chuckled lightly, "Believe it or not, if we didn't agree to come with the guards just now, this housekeeper would definitely have to follow by himself." ”
"Leave them alone." No matter how many guards followed, they could find clues.
The carriage stopped on the street they passed when they arrived in Yancheng, and the street was still very lively, with the sound of people coming and going, and it looked quite atmospheric.
However, I have listened to Xie Chongning's analysis before, and when Mu Yu passes by these people, he will naturally pay attention to the accents of these people.
"My lord, what do you think of this hairpin, does it look good when I wear it?" Mu Yu walked to a stall, pointed to the hairpin on the table, and asked Xie Chongning with a smile.
Xie Chongning's face was pale, "Not worthy of you." ”
Mu Yu pointed to other ornaments and asked Xie Chongning one by one, but the answers he got were all "not good-looking, ordinary style." ”
If it were the usual owner of the shop, he would have thought that he was here to find fault, and he would have been angry a long time ago, but the person standing in front of the stall had a smile on his face, and he didn't look angry at all.
"That's it, since it's not good-looking, then don't buy it." She pretended to be sorry and walked past the stall, and then walked to the next stall, this person was much more enthusiastic than the previous boss, and when she entered Mu Yu and their group, her face was obviously much more happy.
"My lord, look at the jewelry on my table, the condition is still good, but do you want to buy one for Madame?"
"Ma'am?" Mu Yu sneered twice and raised his chin, "Where do you see that I am a lady, and I am still a girl who has not yet left the cabinet." ”
"Ma'am, aren't you kidding the grass people?" The boss in front of the stall was obviously stunned, and he didn't expect Mu Yu to say this, "This must be the famous Lord Xie, and you are his wife." ”
Mu Yu raised his eyebrows without a trace, it seems that the people in these shops are not only standing here pretending, but also know the identities of her and Xie Chongning.
"How do you know he's Master Xie?" Mu Yu was full of fun and waited for the boss's answer.
The boss nervously wiped the sweat on his palms on his trouser legs, and said with a dry mouth, "Do you need to know this?" When a few of them entered the city, the line was so long, we all saw it. ”
"Oh? You are so powerful, when you see our team, you know that he is Master Xie? Mu Yu continued to ask.
The boss found that he had said a lot of mistakes, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he looked at the two guards standing behind Xie Chongning for help, and the two guards thought that they had quietly glared at the owner of the vendor, but Xie Chongning's every move was in full view.
"That's it, our family is indeed resourceful and selfless, you know and should be." Mu Yu achieved his goal, and no longer embarrassed the owner of the vendor, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”
No matter how long this street is, it will be over in a while, Mu Yu looked at the city gate, looked at the guards and sighed, "You Hou Ye is really capable, not to mention the health of the people in this city, I haven't even seen a single homeless, it stands to reason that this southern city, I'm afraid there are not a few homeless, how do you Hou Ye govern." ”
One of the guards was dumbfounded, but the other was a little smarter, "Madame is really worried about the adults, what can we as guards know about governing the city, you still have to ask our Hou Ye." ”
"Yes, you're right." Mu Yu nodded approvingly, "When I go back, I will definitely ask the adults to consult your lord." ”
Because this Yancheng may really be raging in the epidemic, they don't dare to eat out, lunch still rushed back to the Guangping Marquis's mansion, the housekeeper stood behind the Guangping Hou, saying something, but after seeing a few of them come in, they also stood up straight and stopped talking.
"Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie walked around Yancheng, how do you feel?" The Marquis of Guangping sat on the throne and asked with a smile.
Mu Yu looked at Xie Chongning, who was silent in the past, and intimately replied to him, "After this visit, our family is ashamed of himself now, and he also told me that if he has the ability to govern the city like a marquis, the security of the capital will definitely be more stable." ”
"Mrs. Xie is exaggerating." Who doesn't like to listen to good words, after these few contacts, Mu Yu found that this Guangping Hou is a very good-looking person, and it is right to hold him.
"Not an exaggeration." Mu Yu pursed his lips, "This wild goose city is extremely prosperous, and there are no homeless beggars on the street, it is enough to see your ability to govern the city, this Ming Dynasty can have such a capable marquis, it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty." ”
Guangping Hou smiled and touched his stomach, and a touch of shyness appeared on his face, "Presumably the two of you are tired from shopping today, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, let's talk while eating." ”
At the dining table, Wuchen ate the vegetarian dishes in front of him without saying a word, although he and Xie Chongning had known each other for a short time, but he could also see Xie Chongning's temperament.
This morning, Xie Chongning's message suddenly came from the subordinates, saying that he was going to repair in Yancheng for two days before leaving, and Wuchen noticed strange at that time.
When they were in a hurry before, Xie Chongning couldn't wait to keep hurrying day and night, so that even if they could reach the south and treat the epidemic, but now they have to stay in Yancheng for a little longer.
Now at the dinner table, he heard the words that Mu Yu said with the Marquis of Guangping, and the speculation in his heart was more certain, and after the meal, Wuchen went to knock on the door of the two of them.
Mu Yu was quietly discussing with Xie Chongning what to do in the future, but this sudden knock on the door startled her, "Who?" ”
"It's me, Dustless."
