Chapter Seventy-Four: The Governor's Daily Life
Even if he only brought 1,000 soldiers and horses into the capital, plus the soldiers and horses who came to greet him, the team was also immense.
The capital is as lively as ever.
The two adults sitting in the car looked out, and the familiar scenery, the noisy market, and the signboards and colorful buildings on the side of the street were as bright as they remembered.
The bustling crowd avoided on either side, pointing and discussing, and constantly asking and shouting.
"It's someone from the Linzhou Imperial Court who is here!"
"Is the Emperor coming? Has the Emperor returned? ”
"That Liu Fan, bring the emperor back!"
"The Emperor is back!"
"Your Majesty? His Majesty's car is too shabby? ”
Listening to the noise outside, the two officials were very satisfied with the people's expectations for His Majesty and the imperial court, thinking of the scene of Liu Fan and others entering Linzhou, although they did not lose their lives and lie in the coffin like Liu Fan and his party, but Lord Wu lost an arm.
The two also plan to follow suit, let the people see their difficulties, remember the names of the two of them, and by the way, tell the people about the current situation of His Majesty's court in Linzhou for the capital.
It's just that the officials who greeted him in the capital did not allow it.
"The news of the arrival of the two adults and the Linzhou government will ask the officers to post announcements, and the people can check them at various gathering points."
"The two adults should not come forward in person on the street, it is easy to cause congestion, crowding and trampling, chaos, there are many people in the capital, and it will be bad if you hurt the adults."
The first sentence is not taken seriously by the two adults, how can the government have the time to issue these announcements, and where will the people believe the announcements posted by the government, but when I hear the latter sentence, I think about entering the capital and seeing the checkpoint verification, and seeing the list of people who are arrested...... Since the investigation is so strict, and so many people have been arrested, it can be seen that the capital is mixed.
The ordeal on the road can be described as heroic, and if you lose your life when you enter the capital, it will be a bit embarrassing.
The two adults immediately dispelled their thoughts, and the procession drove into the yamen outside the imperial city where these two adults served before the troubled times.
The yamen is still the same, the tables and chairs are all familiar, and there are many unfamiliar faces of the officials on errands in the yamen, and there are many familiar ones.
But seeing these familiar officials, the two sides did not see the people from Linzhou and the capital with mixed feelings, and hugged their heads and cried......
What to say?
These officials who stayed in the capital said that you have worked hard and finally returned?
They said that you stayed in the capital and worked hard?
Is it hard to stay in the capital? Why would you rather stay in the capital and work hard than trek to Linzhou with everyone in the first place? It's not that I'm afraid of hardship, it doesn't seem to be very hard in the capital, maybe I'm still happy to be an official under Ankang Mountain......
The eyes of the officials who are familiar with each other dodge, the two adults who came in look cold, and the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, but they still rely on the warm greetings of the officials who are not familiar with each other.
After the two adults washed and rested, Mrs. Chu still did not come to visit, and no one said where she lived.
But an acquaintance came, and brought an unexpected person.
"Mrs. Chu is sick." Liu Fan whispered to them, his own face was still yellow, his body was even thinner, and it looked like a gust of wind could blow him down.
Sick, huh? The two adults will be skeptical.
"That's why the Governor of Wudu came to see the two adults." Liu Fan continued, and let his body go away.
The two adults saw the guard who followed Liu Fan in and stood at the door striding in, taking off his hat and revealing his face, which instantly illuminated the room like daylight, and they would not forget this face!
"Wudu Dudu!" They shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”
Wu Ya'er raised her finger to her lips and shhhed softly: "Everyone didn't know that I was here, the two adults whispered." ”
The two adults immediately held their breath, and the shock in their eyes was even greater.
Wu Ya'er is here...... How sick is Mrs. Chu? Isn't it dying?!
.......
.......
When he woke up from a nap, Li Minglou stretched out in the soft quilt, and the palace maid immediately brought a warm and fragrant tea "Mrs. moistens her mouth", and the palace maid gently kneaded Li Minglou's shoulder.
Li Minglou closed her eyes and took a sip of tea, feeling the slow soothing of her body and waking up, she opened her eyes, and the layers of curtains covered the sky and the sun, like night.
And as she opened her eyes and sat up to get up, the curtain was pulled open layer by layer, and the ink in the room gradually became clearer.
The ladies of the palace surrounded her, combed her hair, put on her outer robe, and tied her belt.
"Where's Wu Ya'er?" Li Minglou asked.
"Madame will look for the governor as soon as she opens her eyes." "Not for a moment." "Go and ask the governor to come." The palace ladies giggled and joked, and a few of them went out.
How could she look for him as soon as she opened her eyes, and she couldn't see him for a moment, Li Minglou's face was slightly sneering, she was very busy every day, and she saw him yesterday and today, or only when she had breakfast.
She's ..... Casually ask, after all, it is, a guest.
The palace maids quickly ran back, "The governor is not here." "The Governor is out."
Out of the house? Isn't it secret that Wu Ya'er came here? Where can he go? Li Minglou was a little curious, and Yuan Ji heard her wake up and wait in the hall, and gave her an explanation.
"Lord Wu and Lord Zheng of Linzhou have arrived, and Mrs. is unwell, so the governor happens to be here, so let him come forward to entertain him."
Although Xiang Yun did not come, and most of the soldiers and horses were also placed outside the capital, the two adults still followed a lot of people, and Li Minglou would not come out to meet them until they found out whether these people were safe and whether they had seen Li Minglou.
Originally, the plan was to use the excuse of being sick, and then let Liu Fan, Jiang Liang and these old officials in the capital deal with the hospitality.
Now it happens that Wu Ya'er is here, and it is more appropriate for him to come forward.
Li Minglou nodded: "Yes, the court over there in Linzhou also wants to see him, and has sent so many edicts to ask him to go back, and seeing him in the capital this time can be regarded as half of the wish fulfilled." ”
As soon as the words fell, the palace maid outside said a stack of voices: "The governor is here", "The governor is coming", "Madame is looking for you", Yingying Yanyan chirped, and instantly lifted the curtain.
These palace maids are too noisy, Yuan Ji frowned, Li Minglou looked out, and Wu Ya'er strode over in the curtain that was lifted.
"What's wrong?" He looked at Li Minglou and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
In fact, I wasn't looking for him, and I didn't have anything to do, I just asked casually...... Now, of course, there is something to ask.
Li Minglou said: "How about what they said?" ”
Wu Ya'er said: "It's nothing, I said something about the current situation in Linzhou, the road is not easy, they look tired, they want to rest first, I didn't let them come to see you, wait until everyone is relieved and refreshed." ”
Li Minglou asked, "Do they have any intentions?" ”
Wu Ya'er said: "Just say to come and see, to prepare for His Majesty's return to Beijing." ”
The two of them didn't tell the truth, but it's better not to say it, it's better for them not to say it all the time, Li Minglou smiled.
Wu Ya'er asked, "Are you awake?" ”
Yuan Ji was stunned on the side, looking at him with a strange expression, isn't this nonsense? Can you stand here and talk without waking up?
Li Minglou snorted: "What about Madam?" ”
Yuan Ji looked at Li Minglou again, Miss was still a little confused when she woke up, Wu Ya'er had just come back from outside, how did he know what Mrs. Wu was doing?
Wu Ya'er said: "When I went out, I was playing with Miss Wan'er, and I should have just woken up now." ”
Li Minglou sighed and didn't speak again.
Wu Ya'er said: "Mother will eat snacks when she wakes up, do you want to ..... together?"
Yuan Ji coughed lightly and said, "Madam, Lord Yu, they should be coming." ”
Li Minglou smiled apologetically at Wu Ya'er: "I'm going to be busy." ”
Wu Ya'er also smiled: "You are busy first, I will pass." ”
Li Minglou nodded to him, watched Wu Ya'er turn around and leave, the curtain lifted and fell, and the figure disappeared from sight.
But Wu Ya'er didn't put aside the matter of dim sum, and when Li Minglou and the officials sat down to discuss the matter, Kumquat brought stacks of dim sum and tea with the palace maids.
Not only Li Minglou, but all the officials present have a copy.
Since it was sent by Kumquat, Yuan Ji had no doubts about safety, and let him go with a twisted brow, this Wu Ya'er has a good eye for some things, and he can please people and have a sense of proportion, so he can't find fault, he is really a treacherous guy.
These main officials also knew that Wu Ya'er was coming, and they took the snacks and tea and said, "Thank you, Dudu", worthy of being the husband of Mrs. Chu State, and he was really considerate.
Although I felt that this thoughtfulness was also a little strange, why didn't the man who was in charge of the house come to the discussion, but he soon left the idea behind.
Maybe you're not familiar with the capital, and you may have to be busy with bigger things.
......
......
When night fell, dinner was set up on a full table, some roasted and some roasted, fragrant and oily.
Kumquat took a deep breath: "It's so fragrant, Du Du still has this craft." ”
Wu Ya'er smiled: "It's not a craft, it's survival instinct." He helped the woman to her seat, "Mother, you can taste my handiwork." ”
The woman sat down and touched his hand: "Let me see, is it burned?" ”
Wu Ya'er smiled and let her rub: "Mother, I'm not a child anymore." ”
Kumquat looked at the three seats on the side, and took the initiative to say, "Dudu, I'm going to invite my wife to dinner, right?" ”
Wu Ya'er said: "I don't know if she's busy." ”
Kumquat smiled: "I'll just go and see." ”
She smiled and walked away.
Wu Ya'er looked at the vegetables and meat on the table, took a deep breath and exhaled again, approached the woman and asked in a low voice, "Mother, you tell the truth, is it delicious?" ”
The woman said, "It's not delicious." ”
Wu Ya'er shouted Niang, and the kumquat came back in a hurry.
"Madame's side is all scattered." She said, "But Madame is still busy, she is reading some news, it may not be good, Madame looks unhappy, I don't dare to disturb." ”
Wu Ya'er can't say whether she is disappointed or happy, but she is more worried, what makes her unhappy?
......
......
"What did you say?" Yuan Ji asked, looking at Li Minglou's face, "Is the news very bad?" ”
Li Minglou looked at the letter in his hand, which had just been sent, and the letter said that Master Wu Qi finally said in person that he suspected that Wu Ya'er was the bloodline of the Wu family.
She didn't know if it was good news or bad news.
