Chapter 24: Entering the Palace
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow." Natural phenomena are not something that can be resisted by manpower, and if they are really hindered by heavy snow, there is no way to do it, so they can only wait until the snow melts before they can set off.
"Yes, master." After the report was over, the cool breeze flashed away.
"Don't worry, it'll catch up." Jun Lichen can only comfort him like this, he can't give any other promises at all, he can do other things without hesitation, and he can't help it when he competes with God.
"If you can't catch up, you can't help it, who let it snow heavily at this time." It's fake not to worry, but no amount of worry is in vain, heavy snow is a force majeure factor, and it can't be solved by man. Not to mention that in this backward ancient times, even in the technologically advanced Celestial Empire, there were snowstorms and floods, and there were countless casualties, not to mention that when there was nothing here, it was good to be able to save one's life.
"If it really doesn't work, let him shovel the snow off the road, but it will move more slowly." That's probably the only thing Jun Lichen can do.
"Don't, if I do that, what will happen to me." As soon as Qiao Xi heard Jun Lichen's opinion, she frowned and glared at him fiercely, she couldn't tire everyone because she was alone, she was raised by her parents, and she was seen by them, she didn't want to die of distress, she couldn't do such a thing. Only like them, the royal relatives, dignitaries and dignitaries who are high up and do not take human life seriously, can do it, sometimes people are worse than their domestic animals in their eyes, they are really as lowly as dogs, sad and lamentable!
"Okay, okay, don't do it. Don't be angry, don't be angry. "Why did she forget, she didn't like to look at human life as her life.
"Jun Lichen, I know that you are used to a life of commanding like this, but they are human beings, they are all thoughtful, and if they are too conceited, they will often be in a big heel, and they will lose in the hands of those little people who once looked down on them, don't bully the young and poor." Although she is not a kind-hearted person, she disdains to do those harmful things that have no conflict with her, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, hehe, just wait for devastating revenge.
"Okay." Jun Lichen saw that her demeanor had eased, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When I woke up the next day, it was snowy outside, and there was a thick layer of accumulating layer, and there was a creaking sound when I stepped on it, and I would leave footprints on the road I walked.
It snowed heavily for a day and a night last night, but today it was sunny and not snowing, but with such a deep snow, they couldn't walk if they wanted to, so they could only be trapped in the inn.
The snow is so thick, if you want to wait for it to melt away, you have to wait for at least three days, can't it be that these three days will make them stare at each other with big eyes? How boring that would be!
Qiao Xi is an idle person again, and she will feel uncomfortable when she sits and lies down all day long.
So I got Lily and asked her to prepare something, make two playing cards, and use them to pass the time, so that she wouldn't feel that time was going too slowly.
Playing cards were the simplest, and it only took half an hour for her to make four decks.
After explaining the rules in detail, he threw them four decks of cards and let them play on their own.
"Is there any Go?" Looking up at Jun Lichen asked.
"Yes, I'll have someone pick it up." After answering Qiao Xi's words, he turned around and ordered others to bring his Go.
His Go is used to build, warm in winter and cool in summer, even if his father wants him, he refuses to give it, this jade is what he has been looking for for a long time to get, how can it be taken by his father.
"What are you going to do with Go?"
"How about a new way of playing, do you want to try it?" If she can't play Go, she won't believe that she can't even play backgammon, and if that's the case, it's really a big shame for the people of the Celestial Empire.
"New law, what new law?" Don't think that he didn't see the trace of cunning in her eyes, he couldn't play Go, and wanted to use something else to regain his sense of existence.
It's just a new method, he can still be afraid of her, and he will go down, Jun Lichen rubbed his hands and was eager to try.
"Listen, this new one I call it backgammon, five pieces can be collected in a line, that is to say, if you can't connect the five pieces together, then you have to continue to play until one side wins. Don't think it's easy, it's actually quite difficult, are you interested? Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow.
"Hearing you say that, I'm really interested, come on." The little girl can't wait to regain the face she once lost, so he will play with her and let her be happy.
"Okay." Fiddling with the chessboard, "Me first or you first?" ”
"You go first." Jun Lichen resisted the urge to laugh.
"Then I'll go down first." Qiao Xi is full of confidence, Go is her shortcoming, when it comes to backgammon and checkers in the Celestial Empire, how can this ancient person be her opponent.
At the beginning, Qiao Xi relied on his familiarity with the rules to win Jun Lichen's many games, but the more he went to the back, the situation changed significantly, Jun Lichen no longer blindly lost, but would win one or two games, which made Qiao Xi's heart more and more uncomfortable, she hadn't been hit for a long time, she thought she could find her own game in backgammon, but she didn't expect the field to be found back, and she also lost her inside, and her anger suddenly rose up, and she was angry with her, Angry with her.
"No, no more." He threw the piece back into the box with a crisp 'click' sound.
If you go down again, you will become negative after winning a few games just now, what else is there to do,
"I can't stop it." Jun Lichen pressed the corners of his lips and tried not to laugh out loud, otherwise the little girl would definitely burst out.
"No, no more." Qiao Xi was angry at this moment, and didn't see the corners of Jun Lichen's lips pressed, and said word by word.
"Do you want to rest for a while, it's going to be a long time." Jun Lichen proposed.
Qiao Xi raised his head and glanced at Jun Lichen, snorted heavily, and got up to leave.
It wasn't until he couldn't see Qiao Xi's figure that Jun Lichen laughed, hey, he people off again, and Bacheng remembered him again in his heart, knowing that she wanted to get back into the field, why didn't she release the water.
Qiao Xi returned to the room, sat on the bed sullenly, handed the handkerchief in his hand vigorously, and greeted Jun Lichen in his heart, Jun Lichen, I remember you, don't let her die, knowing that her chess is a short board, she actually ~~~~ hum hum~~~
For a few days in a row, Qiao Xi didn't look at Jun Lichen with his eyes, even if he spoke, he loved to ignore it, and the imperial doctors knew at a glance that these two people were having an awkward quarrel, so they had better hide far away, so as not to harm the innocent in other ways, then the gains outweighed the losses.
Three days later, the snow finally melted, packed up and headed in the direction of the capital.
For the next half a month's trip, they traveled during the day, stayed at the inn at night, traveled day and night, and arrived in the capital two days before the start of the examination.
Lifting the curtain and looking at the towering city gate in the distance, as well as the two magnificent Los Angeles cities on the city gates, it is different from other capital cities, and the imperial power center has its special unusualness.
The test is coming soon, the recent inspection at the city gate is very strict, not allowed to be a little sloppy, their carriage is no exception, but Jun Lichen is special, hand over the waist card of the Jingwang Mansion, the soldiers guarding the city saw it, respectfully went to the carriage and said hello to Jun Lichen, and then let it go directly, without any obstruction into the capital.
The shops in the capital look very tall, and even the shi at the feet of the Son of Heaven is probably fragrant.
"Jun Lichen, you find an inn to put a few of us down." Entering the city, Qiao Xi spoke.
"The inn is already full of students at this time, are you sure you can find an inn to live in?" Jun Lichen's gaze moved from the book and fell on her face.
"Otherwise, where are we going to live?" It's hard to follow him back, it's not good.
"My family is big enough, and I'm afraid I won't have a place for you to live." Jun Lichen just wanted to bring people back, and it could be regarded as crossing the bright road, but his father and mother didn't have any opinions.
"Forget it." Qiao Xi still rejected his kindness, there are still many problems between her and him that have not been resolved, and it is not suitable to come to the door at this time. In ancient times, he was very fond of the family, especially the dignitaries, not to mention that he was still a relative of the emperor, and he liked it, but now it has not reached the height of being able to meet. bar
"Don't think about the inn, I still have a house in the city, so I don't want to live there." Jun Lichen saw that her face was a little bad, although she was a little regretful, she was not reluctant, she was not in a hurry, take her time, they have time.
Qiao Xi frowned, still a little resistant, but she also knew that the hope of the guest house at this time was really not big, it was impossible to take so many people to wander on the street, this is the capital, not them, and now it is in the stage of the examination, the security of the capital is only afraid of being stricter, she is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, tangled, so tangled......
"There is no one else in that house except for the cool breeze, and a few of them know. I won't force you to do what you don't like. Jun Lichen saw her hesitation, so he continued to persuade her.
"Okay then." It can only be like this, otherwise it will be difficult to be arrested as a suspect, and then you will have to trouble him to save it, and you can't keep it if you want to keep it at that time.
"Liangqi, send the imperial doctors to the palace to resume their lives, and I will come later." Jun Lichen commanded outside the carriage.
"Yes, master." Liang Qi turned his horse's head and led the large army towards the palace.
It wasn't until they were gone that he told Cool Breeze to go to his private house.
After settling them down, he hurried into the palace to resume his life.
The next day, Fleur took Qiao Song and Qiao Bai to the place where they had made an appointment.
When they arrived, yesterday's tooth was already waiting there, and when they saw Fleur, they hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on their face, "Girl." ”
"This is the eldest son of my family, surnamed Qiao. The eldest son, he is the tooth of the tooth shop. Fleur introduced the two to each other.
"Hello Gongzi Qiao, I'll take you to see the house." As soon as he saw Qiao Song's elegant dress, he estimated that he was one of the students who participated in the examination this time, and coupled with his dress, he already had some calculations in his heart.
No one knows who will be able to win this test, so they won't be stupid to offend people, I don't know when they will be developed, no one can predict this kind of thing.
Ya Yu didn't know that he really didn't look away this time, Qiao Song gave him a super big surprise, this surprise shocked the entire government and the opposition at the same time, he became a fragrant dumpling for everyone for a while, but he always remembered his sister's words, no matter who is powerful in this court, it is not as big as the one above, who wants to die, who has to die, only by being loyal to him, can he save his life, and at the same time, the official position will rise".
Yayu took them to take the two houses """"""""""
"Young Master Qiao, where do you see it is more in line with your heart?" Ya Yu was subtle, and he already knew roughly the house that this Qiao Gongzi liked.
"How much silver is in this place?" Now that it has been chosen, there is nothing to hesitate about, and the matter of the house must be implemented before the little sister comes, so as not to have no place to live when she comes.
"Childe, the price is not cheap, three thousand taels." Yayu held out three fingers and said.
"Three thousand taels?" Qiao Song was directly frightened by the price, this is too expensive, the total amount he took out now is only five hundred taels, and the difference between three thousand taels and three thousand taels is 108,000 li.
"Childe don't be surprised, the price of the house in the capital is like this, the price is different for different locations, this is the inside, that is really high, in the inner city, the most marginal house is not ten thousand taels can not be bought." Ya Yu said that it is not false at all, the price of the house in the inner city is even more outrageous, so it is generally bought in the outer city, this location is close to the inner city, the price is already relatively fair, Ya Yu did not dare to shout high, is afraid that people will be developed in the future, will give themselves small shoes to wear.
"Fleur, what do you think?" Qiao Song was quite frightened, and now he was a little bit of a god and had no master, so he could only ask Furong.
"Eldest son, this price is fair, you can buy it." Fleur actually wanted to laugh very much, three thousand taels scared the eldest prince, so if he knew the actual amount of silver in the girl's hand, would he faint directly.
"You can look at it and buy it." The price is a little more expensive, but ...... Forget it, the little sister must have explained to Furong, so let her make an idea.
"That's all there is to the house." Furong didn't bargain anymore and directly decided on the case, and then took out three thousand taels and handed it to Yayu, let the eldest prince stay here, and asked Qiao Wu to go back to the inn to settle the account and bring people over.
And she went to the yamen with Yamen to apply for the house deed.
When Fleur returned to the house, everyone had already arrived, and the house had been unoccupied for a while, so she directly commanded everyone to clean it up, trying to finish it all before dark.
Fortunately, there are many of them, and they can still be done with cooperation, the most important thing is to clean up the places where they live and use them first, and the others can be cleaned up little by little.
When the imperial physicians arrived at the gate of the palace, they did not go to see the emperor first, but waited for him at the gate of the palace.
Everyone knows the relationship between Qiao Gongzi and Jun Lichen, the first time they come to the capital, they must settle people well, in addition to this relationship, he is even more indispensable to the plague in the upstream county, without him, whether the plague can be lifted is still a question.
"It's not for you to enter the palace face saint." Jun Lichen sat on horseback and looked at the group of imperial doctors waiting at the gate of the palace.
"The lower officer still thinks it's more appropriate to be with the general." Imperial Physician Cai is the oldest, and he came out to reply on behalf of Imperial Physician.
"Enter the palace." Jun Lichen led the first palace.
The news of Jun Lichen's appearance at the gate of the palace soon flew directly into the ears of the people in the palace as if he had grown wings.
Some people are happy and some are sad, everyone's face is ever-changing, and it is very good-looking.
As soon as the emperor received the news of Jun Lichen's return, he directly stood up from the dragon chair happily. "Seriously."
"Back to the emperor, how dare the old slave lie to you about this. It's true, it's estimated that I'm almost in the imperial study at this time. Father-in-law Xu said with a bright smile.
"Good, good, well done." Or is he wise, he chose to let Chen'er deal with this matter, and replaced it with someone else, and he can imagine the result, when they let them do things, they shirk for a while, greedy for life and afraid of death.
also blamed him for spoiling Chen'er too much, making him arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes.
Why don't they think about the reasons why he spoils Chen'er, what they do, and what he does.
and his sons, staring at his position one by one, wishing that he would die soon, they would be able to take the opportunity to sit in a high position, how could any son look forward to Lao Tzu's death, and be embarrassed to mention fair and unfair words.
Take the incident of the plague in the upper reaches of the county, when he usually rushes to show himself, and when he really needs them to pay, he finds reasons to shirk responsibility, and he really doesn't know anything.
The minister is like this, and so is his own son, how can he not be angry.
It's not that he's sick, then he's really sick, so sick that he can't come back.
What do you really think he doesn't dare to do with them?
In the past, he was afraid of them, but after several years of deployment, they no longer had a way to threaten him, coupled with the rise of Chen'er, they should be afraid of Chen'er, Chen'er is not a good person to get along with, and the person who beats his idea will not end up miserable.
The war with the Zhou State became famous in the first war, which made the Zhou State regret the war, not only lost a few cities, but also lost more compensation, who let them not abide by the agreement and lose the war, they can only become fish on the chopping board, let it be slaughtered.
This kid didn't know where he learned the means, and the good news kept coming one after another, which made him overjoyed, and he directly named him the general of Zhenguo.
"Gonggong Xu, the general and the imperial physicians have arrived, waiting to meet the saint." A little eunuch leaned into Grandpa Xu's ear and whispered.
