Forty-four days of endless road
In the back hall of the government in northern Jiangsu, there is a long table: Chen Zhifu and Yue Yuan sit opposite each other. In front of the two of them was steaming Longjing tea, and the two talked with smiles on their faces. From time to time, a series of laughter flew between them, stretching and reverberating in the air flow of this room for a long time.
At this time, Yue Yuanwai took out a pair of jade "Mandarin Duck Playing in the Water" bracelet from his arms, plus a pure gold pocket watch. Carefully pushed these treasures in front of Governor Chen, and said with a smile on his face: Governor Chen, just now we have truthfully told the details to the official. These antiques are just a little bit of Yue's meaning. I hope you will smile when you are old!
Governor Chen knew that if he did this, he must have a lot of trust. These rare treasures are "flying windfalls". Don't collect nothing, don't accept it!
However, Governor Chen knows better: These heartfelt words can't be put on the table at all. So, he stretched out his hand and pretended to shirk it, and his mouth was busy currying favor with Yue Yuanwai: Oh, Yue Yuanwai is so generous. Chen's merit is not rewarded!
Of course, Yue Yuanwai understands: In this world, there is absolutely no one who has an enmity with gold and silver treasures. The prefect Chen in front of him stretched out his hand to push the treasure, but he was just deliberately pretending.
However, Yue Yuanwai also knows that the above words are common problems among all bureaucrats. In any case, it is a scar that should not be revealed!
So, Yue Yuanwai got up and walked to the other side, leaned over and put his mouth on the earlobe of Governor Chen's earlobe, and said in a low voice: I just ask the official to take advantage of this time to manage the people who participated in the "Autumn Festival" and put an end to Li Yunlong's opportunity to participate for me. After the matter was completed, Yue Mou had another thanks!
Hearing this, Governor Chen showed a knowing smile. He said sluggishly: Haha, since Yue Yuanwai is so affectionate and righteous. How can Chen not know how to lift?
As he spoke, Governor Chen stood up and pointed to the door of the back hall to make a gesture of sending off guests, and said with satisfaction: "Outside the Yue Yuan, Chen will definitely not break his promise to you. Just relax and wait for the good news in the house! Well, Chen still has some official business to deal with. I can only snub you!
Yue Yuanwai is also a businessman who walks the rivers and lakes, how can he not know: Governor Chen is issuing an "eviction order"? So, he immediately gave a deep bow and said humbly: Governor Chen, Yue is here to say "thank you" first. Since you have official business to deal with, let's take your leave!
After saying that, Yue Yuanwai quickly turned around and left the room. Looking at his back, Governor Chen felt a little Jiujiu in his heart: Hmph, although we accepted his antiques. However, before the imperial court held the "Autumn Autumn" scientific expedition, we must absolutely "say that the illness is not on the scene". Even if Li Yunlong took advantage of this gap to sneak into the East Gate "Step by Step" restaurant, we would just "pretend not to know" and close our eyes. Otherwise, if you suffer a lawsuit because of him. That's not worth it!
Three days later, in the Li Mansion in Xiangma Town, Huai'an County, which is under the jurisdiction of Governor Chen, Li Yunfei helped Mrs. Ruan into the sacrificial hall, and the mother and son lit the candles in front of dozens of tablets in turn, as they had done a few days ago. Then, the mother and son held three sticks of cloud sandalwood and made three gestures at these tablets.
Then, Old Madam Ruan pulled Li Yunfei to kneel down and kowtow three more times, and said with tears in her eyes: Ancestors of the Li Mansion, the Ruan family has kowtowed to you with the eldest son Yunfei. In a few days, it will be the day of the imperial court to hold the "Autumn Season" exam. I hope that you will manifest your spirits under the Nine Springs, and bless Yunlong to play the "Gold List Title" normally!
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ruan pointed to one of the tablets and turned to Li Yunfei and said: Yunfei, it is said that the ghost who has "passed away for less than three years" is still floating in the sky above the world. You give your dad a few more kowtows so that he doesn't just wander around. Always pay attention to the safety of your youngest son Yunlong, and don't suffer from the persecution of the people of Yuefu again!
Yue Hongying pulled Li Rui and Li Hua to stand outside the sacrificial hall, looking at it with extreme remorse: the tear-jerking scene in front of her. She secretly thought in her heart: Father, mother, two brothers, I hope you let Li Yunlong go this time and don't go to the capital to make trouble with him again. Otherwise, the sins of my daughter's life will never be washed away!
Li Rui and Li Hua, who had been standing beside Yue Hongying, looked at their father and grandmother who were crying silently. I thought of it at once: A few days ago, in order not to arouse the suspicion of my grandfather, grandmother, and two uncles, my father instructed my second uncle Yun Jian to explain the situation to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law in Yao Mansion.
Then, the second uncle Yun Jian begged the two old men to agree: he went to the capital to find the second brother Yun Long. The next day, he left Yaofu with his wife and son. Take a carriage in Yao Fuzhong to the capital to find the third uncle Yunlong!
After the second uncle left Yaofu with his wife and children, someone always mentioned the whereabouts of the second uncle. The two old men of Yao Mansion will take the trouble to claim to the outside world: The son-in-law and daughter will take their children to travel to commemorate the ten years of marriage!
Today, thinking of these, the little brothers couldn't help but run into the sacrificial hall, standing in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Li Mansion, and after raising their hands and chests like adults, with the sound of "poof" at the same time, the two little brothers knelt in front of the tablet and said in unison: Ancestors of the Li Mansion, and grandfather, you must bless the second uncle Yunjian to successfully find the third uncle Yunlong!
As they spoke, the two little brothers kowtowed three times to the tablet in front of them, "poof, poof, poof". This situation and this scene stirred Yue Hongying's heart as if someone had thrown it into a big stone, and there were sparkling ripples: Hey, if it weren't for my selfish intentions. The entire Li Mansion should be a peaceful and quiet scene!
Thinking of Yue Hongying here, the more she felt: At present, there is a chaotic scene in the Li Mansion. There is no doubt that she is to blame. The person who should bow down to the tablets of the old man of the Li Mansion and the ancestors is undoubtedly her!
So, Yue Hongying silently walked to dozens of tablets, large and small, and raised her hands to her chest to make three waves. Then, he knelt down heavily, "poof, poof, poof" and kowtowed three times. Raised his head and looked at the tablet in front of him and said: "Old man, you and all the ancestors of the Li Mansion are listening, and we will come here every day in the future to offer you incense and worship." I only hope that the second uncle Yunjian can successfully find the third uncle Yunlong; Ask the third uncle Yunlong to be able to "title the gold list" next year!
At this time, there was a sound of "pop, pop" running quickly from outside the sacrificial hall. Mixed with the shouts of the guys celebrating their birthdays: Old Madam Ruan, eldest young master, someone is coming to the capital. I'm already waiting in the hall!
Hearing this, Mrs. Ruan and Li Yunfei couldn't help but scratch their ears and said: Hey, our Li Mansion has never had a relative in the capital so far. Oh, which master is this visiting? What is it for?
As they spoke, the two ladies and sons walked towards the hall of the Li Mansion. Looking at their backs, Yue Hongying secretly thought to herself: Hey, could it be our two uncles who are officials in the court? Thinking of this, she stood up and hurried to the hall.
provoked the mother-in-law behind her, and couldn't help but turn to her eldest son and wondered: Yunfei, why do you see your mother running so fast?
Looking at the back of the lady running fast, listening to the mother's wondering, Li Yunfei suddenly thought: The two uncles of the lady are the prime ministers of the dynasty. Thinking of this, he turned to the old man beside him and said, "Mother, could it be that the person from the capital is Hongying's uncle?"
However, when Li Yunfei came to the east of the hall with his mother in his arms, he found Yue Hongying standing at the door in a daze. His intuition told him that today, the people who came to visit the house were not the two uncles of the lady. It's someone else!
So, Li Yunfei turned to the maid who was busy hoeing grass in the courtyard and said: Xiaolan, come and help the old lady. As he spoke, he put down Old Madam Ruan's hand and ran into the hall quickly. I saw: a middle-aged man in armor and looking like a general, looking at the surrounding walls with his hands around: "Eight Horses" and "Landscape Paintings" copied by the third brother Li Yunlong. While watching, he also smashed his mouth and praised: Well, the painting is really good. The poems are also very meaningful!
Li Yunfei immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply, and asked politely: This general, I don't know what your surname is? What advice do you have for visiting Lee's house?
Hearing this, the general reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the picture. also turned to Li Yunfei to give a deep salute, and said gently: Let's avoid your surname Yu Zi Haoyu, and rashly visit your mansion is just ordered by the saint. I hope Master Li will forgive me!
As he spoke, General Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yunfei and said: Master Li, this is a letter from Prime Minister Yu. You'll understand the purpose of our trip!
As soon as Li Yunfei heard this, he quickly pulled out the letter, and saw that the signature at the end of the letter was: Yu Daoming. He suddenly exclaimed: Ah, it turned out to be a letter written by the third brother's "Bole"! With an exclamation in his mouth, his eyes had already fallen on the lines of words: Master Li, first of all, I wish Old Mother Yu good health and longevity. The day before yesterday, Liang Shangshu and we searched for the four major places in the capital where people gathered. But I didn't see Brother Yu!
Because the governor of your province Chen said that the illness had not arrived for a long time, we and Liang Shangshu had no way of knowing: the day when the imperial court held the "Autumn Festival" was getting closer and closer, why did Yu not escort his younger brother to Beijing to take the exam? Fortunately, yesterday, General Yu, a protégé, defeated the barbarians and returned to the dynasty victoriously, and saw the "Notice" of "Searching for Li Yunlong" posted on the wall of the imperial capital. We only know the reason why Yu did not escort his younger brother to Beijing to take the exam!
Yesterday, let's meet with Liang Shangshu to meet Shengshang to avenge the grievances of Brother Yu. Fortunately, the saint is a considerate Ming Jun, and in the middle of the night summoned General Yu to take the holy decree, drive a bloody BMW and pull a carriage to the Li Mansion quickly, and take Yu's younger brother to Beijing to take the exam. I hope you don't hesitate to see my faith!
General Yu, who was standing on the side, saw Li Yunfei finally raise his head with tears in his eyes. He took out the holy decree and turned to him happily and said, "Master Li, please accept the holy decree!"
Li Yunfei hurriedly knelt down, bent down and leaned to the ground and shouted: Thank you, Lord Longen! Then, he hurriedly kowtowed three times and shouted: The holy purpose is superior, and the minister is guilty. Don't dare to take the order!
At this time, General Yu's mind was full of as if he had been sprayed with paste by someone. He said angrily: Master Li, it was not easy for our teacher and Liang Shangshu to make the saint understand that someone wants to frame your brother. The Holy Lord ordered me to drive a bloody BMW to pull the carriage and hurry to the Li Mansion to pick up your brother to take the entrance examination in Beijing. What do you mean by that?
Yue Hongying, who was stunned at the door, heard this, and her mind was clear. She thought to herself: Oh, this General Yu came to the Li Mansion to take his uncle to the capital to take the exam at the words of the emperor Lao'er. The two brothers robbed him of his silver ticket and the broken silver, causing him to faint with hunger. If the emperor Lao'er knew, our two elder brothers would definitely be executed by his order. The mistakes made by our two elder brothers must not be let Li Yunfei say it!
Thinking of this, Yue Hongying hurriedly walked to Li Yunfei's side and knelt down and said: General Yu is angry, just because his uncle Li Yunlong went to his cousin in the provincial capital last year. On the way, two robbers robbed him of all the silver tickets and broken silver, so he fainted with hunger. ----
Before Yue Hongying's words were finished, General Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the long table, and shouted angrily: Hmph, those two robbers are really unreasonable. It seems that they must be playing right and wrong in front of the two prime ministers! Otherwise, the two prime ministers and Li Yunlong did not know each other. How could he impeach him to the Holy Lord?
Hearing this, Yue Hongying felt a pang in her heart: Hey, the two uncles are surnamed Ju. And he is also the prime minister of the same court, according to what General Yu said, there should only be two uncles who can speak well in front of the emperor. In this way, our two brothers have already gone to the capital to find two uncles to deal with Li Yunlong!
Next, Yue Hongying, who couldn't believe it, bowed deeply to General Yu and said: General Yu, the women of the countryside have the courage to implore you to tell me the names of the two prime ministers you just mentioned. Where are they? The village woman is abrupt, I hope you can forgive me a lot!
General Yu said without thinking: Ms. Yue, the two prime ministers are named Ju Yunhua and Ju Yuhao, and they are a pair of brothers. According to the painters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the two prime ministers were from Huai'an. Let him copy some portraits of Li Yunlong according to the descriptions of the two young men.
As soon as Yue Hongying heard it, she knew that it was the two elder brothers who went to the capital with expensive gold jewelry to curry favor with the two uncles according to their father's instructions, and entrusted them with the idea of "rectifying" Li Yunlong. The purpose is to make him retreat in fear. I lost the opportunity to enter Beijing to participate in the "Autumn Autumn" exam in vain!
At this time, General Yu's words came into Yue Hongying's ears again: Afterwards, Liang Shangshu went to the Internal Affairs Office to inquire who painted Li Yunlong's portrait? One painter said that he had painted the portrait. At that time, the people living in the prime minister's mansion said that he should go and copy the portrait. He didn't know what the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion meant by asking him to copy dozens of portraits?
Li Yunfei said helplessly: General Yu, a prime minister with a prominent status in the current dynasty, of course, it is absolutely impossible to tell his intentions casually to a painter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I absolutely believe in the words of the painter!
General Yu picked up on what he had just said: Master Li, the painter also said that until one day, he left the Internal Affairs Office and returned to his hometown to visit relatives. When I walked into the street, I saw his copy of the portrait, which was pasted on the wall of the imperial capital. At the top of the portrait, five large characters were added: "Circular" and "Search Warrant". Only then did he realize that he was being taken advantage of!
Li Yunfei said angrily: General Yu, we really can't think of the city wall of the imperial capital, but at the feet of Lang Lang Qiankun and the Son of Heaven. Such a cruel and unforgiving reality can happen! I don't know what the emperor thinks of this thing that happened under his nose?
General Yu blurted out: Master Li, of course the Holy Lord is Long Yan is furious. It's just that the words of a painter alone can't be determined to be the work of the prime minister. At present, the day of the "Autumn Festival" held by the imperial court is approaching. The saint was also concerned about Li Juren's future, so he only cared about summoning me to enter the palace in the middle of the night to meet me, and issued a holy decree ordering me to rush to the Li Mansion to pick up people in a sweaty and bloody horse. As for----
Hearing this, Yue Hongying only fell into a panic and jumped straight "poof, poof". This feeling of worry and chagrin made her almost suffocated! Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. Suddenly fainted and fell to the ground with a "bang"!
The situation in front of him made General Yu really feel puzzled. He couldn't help but turn to Li Yunfei and exclaimed: Master Li, what's the matter with your lady? In the past, did she commit "sheep madness"?
Li Yunfei knew it: Just now, the lady was the first to answer General Yu's question. The purpose is to stop him from telling the truth! So, he turned to General Yu and said: General Yu, it's all because there are too many chores in the workshop in the past few days. He was so tired that he fainted to the ground, and he would automatically get better after a while. It's really making you laugh!
As he spoke, Li Yunfei turned to the maid gathered at the door of the hall and ordered: Xiaohong, Xiaoli, take the young grandmother back to the bedroom to rest!
The maid Xiaohong and Xiaoli agreed, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the young grandmother and left the hall and walked to the master bedroom.
In fact, in Li Yunfei's heart just now, he was secretly cursing all the time: Hmph, the people of Yuefu. See how arrogant you are, and how you have no one in your eyes? I hope that the emperor can give you an order to let you taste the taste of suffering in all kinds of ways!
However, Li Yunfei still did not forget to tell General Yu about Li Yunlong's whereabouts: General Yu, maybe the heavens were alarmed by what happened to our third brother. Unexpectedly, he met Wang Yuan, a kind-hearted businessman in southern Jiangsu, and was recognized by him as a righteous son and brought back to the house to fund his studies and take the exam!
Speaking of this, Li Yunfei sighed and continued to add what he had just said: General Yu, if we didn't guess wrong, he should have changed his name to Yi Rong now, and he had already lived in the "Pingbu Qingyun" hotel near the imperial capital. is studying with peace of mind to face the "Autumn Autumn" scientific expedition held by the imperial court!
When General Yu heard this, he smiled and said: Haha, this is the "endless road"! Since this is the case, let's take back the holy decree and rush back to the capital to report to the prime minister and Liang Shangshu truthfully. After listening to my report, the two teachers will definitely contact the Lu Governor's Mansion, which is in charge of managing the people in southern Jiangsu. The day of your reunion is just around the corner!
