Chapter 199: The Heart of Self-Blame

With the rapid spread of the news of the envoys of the five countries visiting the Yuan Kingdom, there were more and more merchants trading in and out of the Great Yuan inside and outside Zhongzhou, and the short-term turmoil with Nanqing State that had serious diplomatic relations problems did not affect the current hot trade in the Yuan Kingdom.

There are a total of twenty-one prefectures and seventy-four counties in the Yuan Kingdom, except for extremely remote and backward areas, almost every town has a shop of Jun Wunian, and the more foreign merchants come, the more prosperous the business of these shops becomes, and there are many more incidents than before. Jun Wunian, the behind-the-scenes boss, doesn't have to worry too much about the things on the books, but it is up to him to decide what to do with the disputes caused by aliens, and the time that could have been leisurely drinking tea and tea is gone, and all that is left is a flood of letters and piles of paper.

Wen Mozheng gradually got used to taking the initiative to go to the wing room to find the life of his own strategist, but on this day, when he strode into the study, he was greatly surprised by what he saw.

"Wu Nian, is something wrong? Why does your face stink so much? ”

Jun Wunian, who was sitting in the chair weakly, moved his eyelids and sighed weakly: "Your Highness, is this planning to fall into the well?" I'm so annoyed now, I'll be really sad if I criticize my face again! ”

"If you still have the strength to lift the bar with me." Wen Mozheng smiled meaninglessly, moved the stool and sat in front of the bookcase, "I've never seen your bored expression, is there a loss in business?" ”

"No matter how big the loss is, it's just a drop in the bucket, and what annoys me is the gentleman's building. Some time ago, I was quite happy to hear that Moqing took Miss Yan to leave Anzhou, thinking that these two people went to enjoy the mountains and rivers and cultivate their temperament, which saved me a lot of trouble; Who knew that it had only been less than three months, and a letter was sent from the gentleman's building saying that there was some trouble, and asked me to go back as much as possible. ”

The rules of the Junzi Building prohibit interference in the government affairs, Jun Wunian abandoned his master and expelled himself from the building in order to repay Wen Mozheng's life-saving grace in the past, and he has not returned to Cangwu County all these years, Wen Mozheng really can't think of what kind of major event can teach Jun Wunian to be so troubled, and even seriously consider whether to return to the Junzi Building.

Between the two of them, Wen Mozheng simply snatched the half-folded letter paper from Jun Wunian's hand, frowned and read it hastily, his lips almost squeezed into a circle: "Huh? It turns out that the prince of Dingyuan has a marriage contract! Then what are you doing with Miss Yan? But even if you are told to go back, it's useless, you can't persuade the son, do you brothers still want to hold the son down and force him to get married? ”

"They only said they wanted to help Bisheng, I don't know what the plan is." Jun Wunian snatched back the letter with a sad face and tore it to shreds, "In the past, they asked me to go back and write letters alone, but this time the weight of several people's joint names is several times larger, but the matter is also related to Moqing, I really don't know if I should go back now." ”

Wen Mozheng didn't know much about Junzilou, and he didn't have much interest, plus he lacked a sense of closeness to Wen Moqing and Yan Li, Wen Mozheng couldn't find a reason to be depressed and troubled with Jun Wunian at all, and he began to sit still after being stunned for a while.

"Wu Nian, it's time for me and Jinyi to start talking about it, right? As soon as I get married, I can leave the palace......"

"Your Highness really doesn't hurt people, and you have to squeeze me at this time, obviously the person who married your daughter-in-law is Your Highness and not me!" Jun Wunian pretended to be sad and resentful, supporting his cheeks and eyebrows slightly upturned, "Once the prince has a wife, he will leave the palace to live independently, this is the rule set by the first emperor, and the emperor will not be embarrassed, but has His Royal Highness ever thought about it, in case the emperor asks who the wife he is marrying, how will His Royal Highness answer?" ”

Wen Mozheng pouted: "Isn't it okay to just make up an identity?" I've agreed to get married, my father shouldn't be bored enough to investigate who I marry as a concubine, right? The envoys of the five countries haven't figured it out yet, and they still have to take care of so many princes and so many marriages, where can he be busy? ”

"The emperor may not think much about it, and it is difficult to guarantee that even the prime minister will not think about it. Now that the imperial capital is full of the prime minister's eyeliner, if it is really found that it is the former Jin nobleman who is going to marry His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness can afford it when he considers the consequences? ”

Wen Mozheng shrunk his neck and muttered a few words, and finally there was no sound, but there was still a monkey anxious expression on his face.

He wants to get married as soon as possible and leave the palace justifiably, this place always makes him feel breathless, and outside is the world of freedom; He wanted to marry Tang Jinyi one day earlier, so that Tang Jinyi, who was always in a state of worry, could completely settle down and settle the marriage between the two. However, Wen Mozheng also understands that Jun Wunian's vigilance is not unreasonable, at the moment Lian Song and Concubine Yun are favored by the emperor and have monstrous power, and Tang Jinyi is the concubine who tried to clear the side of the monarch with the imperial concubine before, no matter how she thinks, Concubine Yun will not let her go.

"Wu Nian, I really can't wait, is there no other way? If I continue to stay up like this, Jinyi will definitely doubt my sincerity, then I ......" Wen Mozheng's sad face was about to twist into a ball, sighing and sighing.

Jun Wunian smiled dumbly and bitterly.

From Wen Moqing, the younger brother who grew up together, to the prince Wen Mozheng who assisted him wholeheartedly, and then to the second prince Wen Moshu who had a delicate relationship, these people with pivotal positions around him seemed to have fallen into the abyss of affection and couldn't extricate themselves. Jun Wunian is still alone, he has been busy running a business and assisting Wen Mozheng for many years, and he has no energy to like any woman, it is difficult to understand this kind of relationship that can make people abandon their great careers and even ambitions, but he understands that this is the deepest love of the sea of evil, once he falls in, it is difficult to escape.

"Oh no, it seems that it is more likely that the ending of the great victory of the concubine is ......" He sighed to himself, and Jun Wunian blew away the shredded paper on the table in one breath.

Seeing Jun Wunian suddenly get up and walk out, Wen Mozheng scratched his head in confusion: "Wunian, why are you going?" ”

"What else can I do? Find a way for my simple and anxious Highness to marry the person he likes as soon as possible, and not to alarm those who are standing on the enemy's side. Alas, I'm going to say sorry to Moqing, but sure enough, I'm still suitable for business, and the fact that I can't pull the red line or cut the red line for others can't be done. Jun Wunian held the door frame and tilted his head slightly, leaving a handsome silhouette on Ying Ting's side face, and the corners of his lips were curvature like a smile, "Your Highness rest assured, as long as it is what His Highness wants to get and what he wants to do, I will do my best to complete it, Your Highness only needs to stride forward until the goal is achieved - this is my only wish as a wicked person." ”

※※※

Qixian Mountain is like a fairyland on earth, and those few simple and unpretentious cabins are a paradise, and they have always longed to be able to live freely here away from the hustle and bustle, not to mention how comfortable it is.

In addition to Wen Moqing, who came to harass from time to time.

"Miss Yan is the first woman to be brought to see me."

Tong Ruchu is also a person who is close to the age of establishment, but he talks like a naughty teenager, not only likes to quarrel with Wen Moqing, but also likes to joke about his worries. Yan Liwu was speechless about this, and Chu Jiu's mouth was skilled in calling a "brother-in-law", and her relationship with Wen Moqing became more and more unclear.

Wen Moqing has lived together in Qixian Mountain for about half a month, although he is reluctant to leave here and return to the Junzi Building, because he has already asked Bisheng to report the time to go back, he has to pull Yan Liwu to explain and leave uneasily, but before he can reach the halfway up the mountain, Yan Liwu has already slipped into Tong Ruchu's room like a loach.

"Miss Yan wants to ask about Xiaoqing, right?" Tong Ruchu seemed to have expected that Yan Liwu would come to him, holding the book and sitting by the window waiting, with a smile on his face with the blandness of warm ink affection, and the reassuring warmth of Wen Moshu.

"When I asked him, he would always get around and never answer honestly." Yan Liwu opened the doors and windows to breathe, and diligently poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to Tong Ruchu, and then sat down peacefully. Seeing Tong Ruchu's attitude of "willing to cooperate", Yan Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively: "How did Uncle Tong's leg hurt?" When it rains on a cloudy day, it gets hard, right? ”

"Didn't you say it? I thought he would blame himself for Miss Yan. ”

Regarding Tong Ruchu's leg, Wen Moqing only said that it was because he was frostbitten, and the details were not explained; In addition, although Wen Moqing did not directly say anything like self-blame, he could still see the blame for himself in his heart from his tone and expression, and it was precisely because of this that he had this doubt.

After Yan Liwu informed Tong Ruchu of his confusion, Tong Ruchu, who had always maintained a faint smile, showed a little helplessness, and did not directly answer Yan Liwu's confusion, but started from the acquaintance with Wen Moqing.

Xiaoqing has been a child who knows how to take responsibility since he was a child, but he is too strong and always carries responsibilities that do not belong to him on his shoulders. Speaking of God's will, Zhenghe nine years I and A Ying in the Chenzhou army married, the owner of the autumn building with the then only eight years old Xiao Qing to congratulate, Ah Ying and I are particularly fond of clever and naughty love, the sisters in the army also call him a little bastard, they master and apprentice lived in our army for a month before leaving. In the eleventh year of Zhenghe, Xiaoqing went out on a mission alone for the first time, and was chased and killed by the enemy on the way to Zezhou for the owner of Qiulou - Xiaoqing was only ten years old at that time, and he couldn't even hold a heavy sword, so he fled to the vicinity of Chenzhou with that cleverness, and it happened that I met it while touring, so I carried him all the way away. ”

Seeing that Yan Liwu gradually showed a puzzled expression, Tong Ruchu smiled bitterly: "Miss Yan is curious, why didn't I lead the army to drive away the enemy?" I'm not afraid of your jokes, at that time, the women's army counted me as a total of 214 people, and these 200 or so people had to guard the border line of the six states of Hanhai, and the distribution of defense was very tight, so every time I went out on patrol, I was alone, and in the face of more than a dozen people, all I could do was to run away with a little love. ”

When the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the strength is alone, it is not a wise choice to fight hard. Yan Liwu did not have any contempt for Tong Ruchu's decision to escape, but Tong Ruchu's expression became more and more gloomy, and he was a little remorseful.

"If I had known that I was going to be cornered, forced to jump into the icy river for a chance to survive, I would never have made the choice to run away - you know what, Miss Yan? Over the years, Xiaoqing has always thought that the source of these disasters is him, but I feel that it was my own mistakes that caused the tragedy, if it wasn't for my busy mistakes and forked the road and fell into siege, then I wouldn't have been detained by the emperor because of the delay of the fighter, and A-Ying would not have led the women's army to rebel...... In the final analysis, it was providence and my mistake that made this life a failure. ”
