Chapter 347: Stewardship (Two Chapters in One)
In this matter, the king of Yanbei County knows nothing but this, Yun Ji is a Han born in Antar, her father was killed by the Tartars, she is a widowed daughter, her mother was captured by the Tartars as a slave, and soon gave birth to her, after the death of her mother, she and several other children were raised by the Han slaves in the tribe, no one in the tribe knows their surnames, and the name of the tribal leader is Yundan Qinggele, therefore, these children who grew up in the tribe are surnamed Yun, and they are named according to the order of birth, and Yun Ji's name is Yun Qi.
When Yun was seventy-two years old, the third prince of the tribe took a fancy to her, Yun Qi did not obey, cut off the head of the third prince with a saber, and since then, she has wandered between Antar and Tatar, robbed the rich Tartars and caravans, rescued the Han slaves driven by the Tartars, crisscrossed the grasslands and deserts, many years later, she broke into the name, she is no longer a slave enslaved by the Tartars, she is Yun Qi, the heroine Yun Qi.
By chance, Yun Qi rescued King Yan, and his later marriage was achieved.
The doctor said: "The seventh girl is not a weak daughter in the boudoir, she has seen all kinds of human feelings, how can she be willing to detain the second half of her life to the palace and commit herself to a concubine?" Knowing that her uncle turned out to be a prince, she didn't say a word, so she disguised herself and went south, outside the gate is the territory of King Yan, and she will always find her, so she will enter the pass and go south, King Yan's power can't reach the south, and the seven girls are going to go to the place where King Yan can't find it. Unexpectedly, not long after entering the customs, she found out that she was pregnant, coupled with the water and soil, her health became worse and worse, and then she was bumped into by the enemy, who was not her opponent, and was defeated, but she was also seriously injured, and she had a fetal gas, and she gave birth to your sister and brother in nine deaths. Her milk is not enough, not enough for the two of you to eat, the slave maid will carry one of you to the nearby village every day, ask the women in the village who still have milk to feed, and then bring it back when they are full, that day the slave and maid will carry the prince to the village, leaving the girl and the little lady at home, the prince is still feeding, and I heard someone running over and saying that the house outside the village has run out of water, and let everyone go to put out the fire. By the time the slaves and maidservants and firefighters arrived, the house we were living in was in flames......"
Yun Qi and the little girl who had just completed the moon were all burned to death, not long after, the people of King Yan found here, the maid remembered Yun Qi's last wish, and refused to hand over the child to them, and the child was snatched away by the people sent by King Yan, and the maid followed them back to Yanbei, originally wanted to find a chance to take the child back, but she had no martial arts, and it was difficult to rob people in the palace of King Yan.
In the past ten years, she has thought of many ways but has not been able to get close to the king of Yanbei County, and then she simply lived in the village near the king's tomb and became a doctor, hoping that one day the king of Yanbei County will meet him when he comes here to worship.
Now, she no longer thinks that she can take the king of Yanbei away, she just hopes that the king of Yanbei can know who her biological mother is.
She hopes that in addition to her, there will be people in this world who can remember the heroine Yun Qi back then......
Xiao Ren has been gone for a long time, and the king of Yanbei is still looking at the dim yellow lamp stupidly.
The sound of the door opening sounded at the door, and it was Xu An who came back.
The king of Yanbei County retracted his thoughts, but unconsciously, he was already in tears.
The next day, the snow has not stopped, the village chief's mother-in-law dug out a piece of frozen meat from the snowdrift, Shen Tong felt curious, followed the village chief's mother-in-law to the stove to help, after a while, there was a sound of chopping stuffing in the stove, about half an hour later, the dumplings filled with sauerkraut and wild boar were served steamingly.
Shen Tong, Xu An, and Lu You all ate it for the first time, and they couldn't taste much delicious, but it was a novelty, Shen Tong remembered that Fang Fei was here, if Fang Fei was here, maybe she would love to eat.
Everyone ate very happily at this meal, no one talked about tomorrow, no one talked about yesterday, everyone only had dumplings in their eyes, and they were also dumplings.
After eating, the steward of the palace came over: "Lord, the snow is getting smaller, maybe it will stop tomorrow, do you think we will rush as soon as the snow stops, or stay here for a few more days?" ”
The king of Yanbei County pondered for a moment and said: "Then stay for a few more days, this king's big sweater is less, and the copper hand stove that this king usually uses has not been brought, you can let people go back to the palace to get it." ”
Your son is your son, not to mention a noble son who has been raised in the palace since he was a child and rarely goes out.
Ambition is just a whim, a heavy snow will blow the ambition away, embarrassed to go back, so I have to ask for this and that, and change places to be his noble son.
The steward's gaze swept over Xiao Ren and Shen Tong one by one, although these two people are young, they have an extraordinary bearing, and they don't know what the origin is, when did the king of Yanbei County know them?
The steward's voice was more respectful, and his smile was more flattering.
"In addition to the big sweater and the copper hand stove, think about it, what else is missing? For example, the jade that you play with on weekdays, the four treasures of the study, the books you love to read, the paintings you love to read, the heavy snow locks the road, it's not easy to go back once, and the little one can't move the palace to you. ”
The palace must go back, even if the king of Yanbei County did not ask for something, the steward was trying to find an excuse to go back.
This sudden arrival of a few people is too suspicious.
The king of Yanbei nodded, he felt that what the steward said was very reasonable, who knew that he would have to live here for a few days, he was not used to living in this place.
So he simply made a list, from the big painted bed he slept on, to the nine rings he often played, but everything he could think of, he put it all on the list.
The words of the king of Yanbei County were originally very well written, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the village chief's house were too coarse, and even his words were discolored, the king of Yanbei was very sad, and asked the steward to bring him more than ten or twenty sets of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then the four big maids who served him pen and ink, the four grandmothers who served him in his daily life, the six maids, the seven little maids who ran errands for him, and the two big stewards he trusted also brought them over, the county prince missed them, without them by his side, the county prince slept badly and did not eat well, he couldn't do anything, and the county prince wanted to see them.
I'm worried, there are so many people and so many things, and I can't put down a small backer.
Hearing this, the king of Yanbei County was about to cry, and he said: "Then you go and ask Yang Dadudu, he must have a way." ”
The Dadu Governor's Mansion is holding a funeral, and the people from the palace are still in Yanbei, and the Dadu Governor must set off to the border pass, so now the Dadu Governor and Yang Ergongzi should be on the way to the border pass.
How can such a trivial matter bother him?
The king of Yanbei County curled up into a small ball, holding his knees with his hands and burying his head in the crook of his arms, he was so scared and sad.
At this time, the village chief's mother-in-law came in with a large teapot, and the steward's eyes rolled and he had an idea.
"Mrs. Village Chief, is there a big family in this neighborhood?"
The village chief's mother-in-law thought for a while and said, "There used to be, but two years ago, their family went to Guannai, and now there are only empty houses left. ”
If you want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow, and you really want anything.
The steward took people back, and before leaving, he gave the village chief a sum of money, and asked him to find someone to repair the empty house, but there was nothing to repair, the house was very good, the walls were snow-white, and there was not even a rat hole, and he could move in by cleaning.
The king of Yanbei was also very satisfied, he repeatedly told the steward to bring all the things on the list, and the people he wanted, without the teachings of the grandmothers, the king of Yanbei couldn't even make up his mind about whether to stretch the left sleeve first or the right sleeve first when he was dressed.
The steward is understood, the people around the prince are carefully selected by Governor Yang, and like him, he is in charge of all the affairs of the prince, from childhood to adulthood, they all follow the prince, and of course the prince can't do without them.
The steward left with a few guards, and the king of Yanbei stood on the big stone at the entrance of the village, braving the wind and rain, watching them go farther and farther away until he could no longer see anyone.
The king of Yanbei County jumped down from the big stone briskly, raised his arms high, and jumped all the way to Shen Tong: "Sister Shen, they are all gone!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around with joy, and there was snow on the ground, and he almost slipped.
Shen Tong couldn't help but smile, and asked, "They are gone, and you are so happy?" ”
The king of Yanbei nodded vigorously: "Sister Shen, I'm free, I'm free, ah~"
He put his hands to his lips and shouted at the snow-capped mountains, laughing and shouting after laughing.
Shen Tong was infected by his joy, and learned from him to shout loudly, and the voices of the two people, one sharp and the other long, echoed in the mountains for a long time.
Xiao Ren looked at their stupid appearances and stood silently.
It only took one day to walk from Yanbei to Gushantun, but it was not so easy to go back to Yanbei from Gushantun.
Although it was only a day and a night, the heavy snow also fell for a full day and a night, and the steward regretted it before he was halfway through, and finally the snow stopped, but the road was still difficult to walk.
It took them five days to return to Yanbei.
The steward didn't care about going back to the palace, he went to the Dadu Governor's Mansion first, as he guessed, Yang Qin and his son had already left Yanbei to go to the border, but the eunuchs from the palace and the people from the Zongren Mansion couldn't go, it was snowing, the road was not easy to walk, and there was nothing important, so they simply stayed for a few more days, and waited until the road was good to go before leaving.
Zhou Zheng and the two little county lords have also left, and I don't know what this noble son thinks, he didn't stay for a day, and he had to go back despite the heavy snow.
Not only Zhou Zheng is like this, but the other guests who came to give gifts have also left, just like Yanbei is a cannon battle that is about to explode, and if you stay for one more day, it will blow them up.
When Zhou Zheng wanted to leave, those people followed, and even followed Zhou Zheng's example and hired people to shovel snow in front.
Fortunately, the two sons of the Yang family in the capital were still in Yanbei, and when the steward went, they were also in the Dadu Governor's Mansion.
Hearing that the king of Yanbei County sent someone to come, Yang Jincheng asked someone to call the steward over.
The steward didn't dare to hide it, and told him that the king of Yanbei County was going to live in Gushantun for a long time and asked him to come back to send people and things.
"The prince has a long-term plan, he wants to use the backing mountain as a stronghold, and when he fights bandits, he can attack and retreat, and this is a clever plan." The steward said.
Yang Jincheng frowned, and asked again: "How did the prince of the county think of staying in the backer?" ”
The steward smiled: "The snow is too big, and the weather is too cold. ”
Yang Jincheng bowed, this steward was obviously sent by Yang Qin's father and son, and he would not tell him the truth, the steward rushed back with great difficulty, it must not be as simple as sending things to the king of Yanbei County.
When the steward saw Yang Jincheng, he found the scribe of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and hurriedly wrote a letter and asked the scribe to forward it to Yang Dadu on his behalf.
Unfortunately, as soon as the messenger left the city, he ran into a group of people shoveling snow, all of whom were hired by the guests who were in a hurry to leave, and the guests had already left, and they were still shoveling snow for some reason.
The messenger was blocked from the way, because he was irritable, he spoke heavier, and the people who were shoveling snow got into a quarrel, scolding and scolding, tearing their hands, and twenty or thirty people surrounded the messenger, some of them dragged their clothes, some of them made black fists, and some of them spitted, and in desperation, the messenger took out five coins of silver, and these people let him go.
When it was dark, the messenger arrived at the official post and handed the letter to the next messenger, and when he took out the letter, he found that the words on the envelope seemed to be getting bigger, and he must have been tired and hungry.
The next messenger did not feel that there was anything wrong with the letter, so he slept in the open air, and when he arrived at the next official post, the letter continued to be passed on until it was delivered to the border gate.
But this letter was not handed over to Yang Qin at the first time, but was intercepted by Yang Jinxuan, the second son of Yang.
Since Yang Lanruo's death, Yang Jinxuan has become more and more dissatisfied with his father, because his father is more suspicious than before, and he quietly asked people to check on him.
So when he learned that the letter was from Yanbei, Yang Jinxuan withheld it without saying a word.
The letter was written very neatly, and a few words were written crookedly: "The king of Yanbei County didn't dare to go to war, and he was embarrassed to go back to Yanbei, so he had to rent a big mansion in Gushantun and live in it first." ”
Yang Jinxuan laughed after reading it, and asked him to guess correctly, the king of Yanbei County, the son of a bad breed, didn't even see the bandit's hair, so he was scared to make a turtle with a shrunken head.
It's a pity that people are at the border, otherwise Yang Jinxuan would definitely go to the backer to see what kind of backer he is in person to see the ugliness of the king of Yanbei County.
Of course, the letter with the fire paint removed could not be sent to Yang Qin, and Yang Jinxuan threw the letter into the brazier and burned it to ashes after reading it.
The steward waited in the palace for a few days, and sent people to the Dadu Governor's Mansion every day to inquire about the news, but unfortunately Yang Dadu not only did not give him any instructions, but also did not write a letter to the palace.
The steward wanted to wait a few more days, but the king of Yanbei couldn't wait, without the grandmother and the maid, he couldn't even peel the eggs, others peeled the eggs for him, and he was distressed about whether to dip the soy sauce or the sauce, and the two people he sent to urge told the steward that the prince was crying for this.
Early the next morning, two more people were sent back, and they also came to urge, and the prince was in a hurry to ask for something and people.
The steward pinched his fingers, and the people sent by the palace to follow the king of Yanbei County, removed the people he brought back, and then removed the first batch of people who came to urge and the second batch of people who came to urge, and there are only ten people who are still by the side of the king of Yanbei County.
These ten people are all honest and don't have many hearts.
If there is no one to watch by the prince's side, that's not good.
The steward hurriedly counted the things and people, and the things were loaded in five carts, and the people also sat in three carts.
The people who followed the king of Yanbei County to suppress the bandits before, more than 100 people came back, and their master couldn't help but feel worried when he saw them coming back, and now he heard that he was going to send something to the king of Yanbei County, so he brought rice and money over, and always said that he would not let Yang Dadu know about it and let them compensate more.
So the steward took twelve carts and set out on the road again.
