Chapter 137: The Messenger

"It's good, Mr. Qian, please continue!" Several other people at the table agreed with Li Gongzi's proposal, Chu Gongzi was so angry, but his father's official position was not very big, not only did he not afford to provoke Liao Sangongzi here, but he also wanted two of them, and he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to grit his teeth and force the anger in his stomach and didn't dare to say more.

Hmph, only when Gongzi Chu is like this, there are a lot of people on his head who can't be provoked, so he will deliberately find trouble with Wen Jin, just to shake his own prestige, thinking like Liao Sangongzi, no one dares to provoke, so he will not find fault and oppress people everywhere.

Wen Jin distributed the last brew of tea to everyone, and then told the second half of the story of the small town.

Talk about talking

It's a good story in a small town

Invite your friends to come along

The town is a guest

Li Gongzi copied it out, let Yumo practice, and then sang it to everyone.

Although Yumo is a little boy, his voice is softer and sweeter than that of women, clear and gentle, and several people are stupid to listen to, and no one laughs at Wen Jin's words in the vernacular.

"Mr. Qian, since you are so good at filling in words, you must be very good at singing?"

Well, after dealing with Chu Gongzi, the real thorn head Liao Sangongzi went into battle.

"Where can I sing?" Wen Jin pretended to be shy, lowered his head and said, "I've been so busy all day that I don't have time to listen to it. ”

Liao Sangongzi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wen Jin to be so honest, and subconsciously asked, "Who did you buy it from?" How much did it cost? ”

"It didn't cost much, I asked my servant to buy it, and I don't know which one made it."

"Hahaha, it can't be your servant who did it himself, right?" Li Gongzi quipped.

Wen Jin pretended to be stupid: "Oh? If it's true, I should change what he does when I go home, and let him make up lyrics every day, although this is not as good as Zhou Gongzi, a song sells for half a tael of silver, right? I only give him 500 wen a month. ”

Chu Gongzi rolled Wen Jin's eyes: "Ah, you only know money when you open and close your mouth, can you be more boring?" ”

Wen Jin pretended to be aggrieved and lowered his head, but Liao Sangongzi was immediately unhappy, and glanced at Chu Gongzi: "She is a businessman, she is in business, why not?" ”

Wen Jin hurriedly answered: "That is, I don't have your blessings, I don't make money for a day, and I don't have food, drink and clothing for a day." ”

These words aroused the anger of the public, and the people at the table looked at her coldly, but Yumo changed the tune, and the attention of these people was diverted.

Wen Jin took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Third Prince Liao, please forgive me for saying goodbye in the future, there is still business to take care of at home." ”

"Okay, I'll send you." Liao Sangongzi stood up and said to a table, "You guys wait for me for a while." ”

Startled, he reached out to take Wen Jin's hand and walked out, but was evaded by Wen Jin's traces.

Liao San was very angry, walked out of the door, forcibly grabbed Wen Jin, and used his thumb to twist Wen Jin's palm, and was thrown away by Wen Jin angrily. Liao San didn't get angry, but laughed happily. Wen Jin was shocked and scared, this Liao Chengtian either saw that she was a daughter, or a fellow Zhi, this was terrible, she barely stabilized her mind, walked out of the Liao family's courtyard, said goodbye to Liao Sangongzi, and got into her own ox cart.

"Mr. Qian, come and have fun when you have time!" Liao Sangongzi also beckoned to Wen Jin, looking reluctant, which made Wen Jin in the ox cart have goosebumps.

Hurriedly returning to his residence, Wen Jin couldn't stay for a moment: "Pomegranate, pack up your things, let's go back to Shanyang." ”

"Childe, what's wrong? In a hurry. Pomegranate was puzzled.

"Don't ask, hurry up."

Wen Jin arranged several businesses overnight, raised Zhou Danniang's monthly salary to two taels of silver, and let her be fully responsible for the production of belt accessories, and handed over all the contacts with pomegranate flowers to Sun Yanping.

The next day, Wen Jin went to the Lu Mansion to say goodbye, and found that the smile of the Lu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very reluctant, she thought that there was something wrong with the Lu family, so she didn't dare to ask, who knew that when she met Wang Dabeard on the way, he comforted Wen Jin with a kind look: "Qian Gongzi and Mo Xinjiao, Brother Ji is a natural appearance, and it will be fine." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Dabeard was very annoyed and slapped his mouth: "You don't know! There were bandits in the Zhongjiang area, and I heard that some officials had been killed. ”

"Huh?" Wen Jin was like being beaten on the head, she almost fainted, and her family didn't dare to go back, and after inquiring about the news for a day, she found that it was all rumors, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on, and she didn't dare to go home.

The rumors were amazing, saying that the imperial court had ordered 30,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to go to Zhongjiang to quell the rebellion, and that it was revealed by people from the Governor's Palace. There is a palace newspaper in the imperial court every day, and the news of the Governor's Mansion is the official news, Wen Jin is even more shocked, and has to bite the bullet and ask to see Liao Chengtian once.

Liao Chengtian asked Wen Jin to sit and wait in the study very seriously, and he went to ask Liao Dudu.

"My father said that it was pure nonsense, and the imperial court reported that the prefect of Zhongjiang was resourceful and decisive, and there was a small riot in the place, which has subsided."

"Thank you, Third Prince!" Wen Jin's bow was sincere, and nothing made her more grateful than hearing the news of her loved one's safety.

Liao Chengtian took the opportunity to climb down the pole, sat beside Wen Jin, and patted her on the shoulder with affection: "Although Lord Lu is not outstanding in literature, this person is a first-class alert, your brother is said to be a young hero, don't worry." ”

Wen Jin only felt that the palm on her shoulder was like a fire, and even the flawless words in her ears seemed to have changed her taste, she had the heart to take away the monkey paw, but she was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, so she only felt like sitting on pins and needles for a while.

Liao Sangongzi finally removed his palm, but grabbed Wen Jin's little hand and rubbed it in his palm: "Alas, Qian Gongzi is young, and it is really not easy to provoke such a heavy family burden. As he spoke, he leaned his head over.

Sure enough, he smelled a faint fragrance, and his heart was refreshed.

Wen Jin couldn't care much, broke away from Liao Chengtian's hand, and wanted to stand up and say goodbye and leave, Liao Chengtian took the opportunity to stroke her leg, through the cotton pants and the thick tweed skirt, Wen Jin's body was still like electricity, and she shivered.

"Thank you, Third Son, Wen Jin still wants to inquire about the news of his cousin, don't pass by, come back another day to thank Gongzi again, and say goodbye!" After speaking, without waiting for Liao Chengtian's reaction, he hurriedly withdrew and left with the newly bought little guy Ge Ping.

Liao Chengtian chased out of the study, looked at Wen Jin's embarrassed back and laughed.

Wen Jin didn't care much, so he took a boat on the road the next day and fled from Minghu City.

Liao Sangongzi didn't expect Wen Jin to be able to smear oil on the soles of his feet and slip away, he thought that this little mouse was obediently hiding in the nest, when he was happy, when he pulled it out and slipped, after five days, he posted again, invited Wen Jin to his house for dinner, listened to the report of the little girl Qing'er, and said that Wen Jin had returned to his hometown, and he came to his senses - Wen Jin is not from Minghu City.

"Didn't you tell her family?"

"Having said that, Mr. Qian's housekeeper said that they would send a letter back, and it is estimated that Mr. Qian will immediately turn back after receiving the letter, and it will be time for the New Year."

"Get out! You can't do this little thing for me, eat it! Qing'er climbed out with a roll, feeling very aggrieved, the man Qian is not one of yours, it is normal to go back to his hometown, what kind of anger are you.

Liao Gongzi was depressed for a quarter of an hour, not only could he not dissipate his anger, but he also felt more and more angry, so he called Zhu'er to have fun: "I asked you to inquire about Qian Gongzi's affairs, how are you doing?" ”

Zhu'er was so frightened that her legs trembled: "Qian Gongzi is not from Minghu, the younger one only knows that she came to Minghu City with her cousin Qian Wenhan, Qian Wenhan was a person in the middle of last year, the cousin girl in Lufu is his fiancΓ©e, and there are elders in his hometown, and I heard that there is an uncle who wants to kill Qian Wenhan for money, and wants to hire a murderer to kill Qian Wenhan......"

These bamboos have been said, Liao Chengtian kicked the little guy unhappily: "Go down and inquire about me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must make it clear, even where her grandfather is buried, you have to tell me." ”

"Yes!" Zhu'er took another kick before retreating.

The next day, Liao Sangongzi didn't see Zhu'er for a day, and he got angry: "Qing'er, where is this kid Zhu'er hiding and being lazy?" Go and call him. ”

"Childe!" Qing'er's voice trembled, "Didn't you ask Zhu'er to investigate the matter of Mr. Qian?" Yesterday afternoon, he took a boat to Shanyang with his baggage on his back. ”

"Huh? This idiot, where did I ask him to go there and inquire? "Liao Sangongzi still likes the two little guys, and he is also anxious at this time, "Who else is Zhu'er carrying?" ”

"I didn't take anyone with me, he went to the government to get a guide, and he left alone."

"This idiot!"

Seeing that the master was displeased, Qing'er had no idea for a while, thought for a long time, and said to Ai Ai: "Or, send someone to find Zhu'er?" ”

"Well, you go and call the big butler."

Liao Fu then sent two more people to find Zhu'er, and Liao Sangongzi felt that since he was going to make a trip, he should simply inquire about Qian Wenjin's affairs and make sure that she was a woman, and he could make plans himself.

In his opinion, a merchant woman is a noble concubine for herself, which is to promote her.

Didn't Wen Jin feel that under Liao Chengtian's seemingly peaceful appearance, there was a domineering and domineering domineering? Out of Minghu City, smoothly walked for three days, she put her mind at ease, as long as she returned to Shanyang, she was not afraid, although Lord Liao was the governor of the capital, but this was the emperor's reward for his great exploits when he was young, now Liangzhong Province, there are no soldiers at all, he is just a paper tiger with no power, if he really dares to send someone to arrest himself, he will definitely let a cadre of Wenchen impeached to death, not to mention that the governor of Liao has a good reputation, in Minghu City, I have not heard that he has rumors that disturb the people.

The journey went smoothly, but when he arrived at Pingling, the riverbed dried up and he could no longer sail, so Wen Jin had to hire an ox cart to go home. Wen Jin simply didn't feel this trouble. When she arrived at the mountain nest, the sun was falling in the west, and the quiet mountain village was shrinking in the cold wind, which made Wen Jin feel extremely warm.

"Second uncle, second aunt-" Wen Jin sent the two martial artists of Shiwei Village home, only with pomegranates, pushed open the door, and the first to come out to greet Liang Xi: "Brother, second brother is back-" She jumped and ran over.

"School?"

"Yes, my uncle just picked me up." Liangxi's little mouth was like a broken bean, and she replied happily, making Wen Jin feel at home all of a sudden.

Pomegranate walked in with a big burden, saluted Wei and Qian Xiancheng, and entered the west wing, and hurriedly went to clean it, while Wei went to the kitchen happily to cook for Wen Jin.

"Brother, when will the big brother come back?"

"It's coming." Wen Jinyan was insincere, even if she was worried now, she didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

Wen Jin lived in the mountain nest for two days, it was really depressed, so she found an excuse to go to Shiwei Village, she brought back a few pieces of cloth from the provincial capital, in addition to leaving it to the second uncle and the second aunt, Wang Dashan and his wife also had a share, Wen Jin arrived in the evening, washed up, slept well, and went to visit after breakfast the next day.

The Dashan couple was very happy, they had to invite Wen Jin to lunch, but the hospitality was difficult, Wen Jin had to agree to come down, sitting on the hot kang head of the Wang family, Mingshan and his wife also came to make fun, five people from the crops in the field, when it came to this year's harvest, the time passed quickly, Aunt Dashan burned the bacon and hare meat together, and put the mushrooms, yellow flowers, dried tofu, bamboo shoots, etc., one bowl per person, and then served a plate of cold wild vegetables, a plate of cold carrot shreds, a plate of dried roasted eggplant, the staple food is white flour steamed buns, and a meal is prepared.

"Your aunt doesn't know how to cook." The mountain is embarrassed to be authentic.

Wen Jin's eyes widened in surprise: "It's so delicious, and it can't be cooked." ”

Everyone at the dinner table laughed, and the embarrassment of Wang Dashan and his wife was swept away.

With them, Wen Jin's depression was put aside for the time being, the smile returned to her face, and after eating, she came out with a pomegranate to say goodbye, although the cold wind was biting, her heart was finally not so gloomy.

On the road not far away, there was the sound of donkey hooves, and Pomegranate was surprised: "Huh? "Yes.

The donkeys here are all black, relatively tall, very similar to horses, the donkey in the distance is the one Wen Jin had seen on TV in his previous life, the kind that Avanti was riding, the gray long-eared and short stature, no wonder the pomegranate reacted like that, she must have never seen it.

Not only are the donkeys not seen here, but the people riding donkeys on them are also in strange postures.

Wen Jin's footsteps didn't stop, and the pomegranate naturally didn't dare to stop, the two continued to walk home, but they didn't expect the donkey to come straight towards them: "Excuse me, how to get to the Qian Mansion?" Because he was far away, the man was louder.

"What are you looking for?" Pomegranate took a few steps forward and answered.

"I sent a letter to Mr. Qian."

Wen Jin heard it, and couldn't help but look over there again, and then continued to walk forward, while Pomegranate stayed and waited.

Not long after Wen Jin entered the door, Pomegranate arrived at the door with the visitor, and surprisingly, Pomegranate led the donkey and walked to the bottom of the steps of the living room.

It turned out that the person who came didn't have two feet, no wonder the posture of riding a donkey was so weird.

The person who came came with crutches, Pomegranate and Zhai carefully supported him, and then entered the living room, and the orange fruit had already served refreshments.

"This is our son." Pomegranate introduced.

The person who came didn't sit on the chair prepared by Wen Jin, and was about to kneel down as soon as his legs bent.

"Here's what to do, hurry up." Wen Jin was surprised.

The visitor insisted on making a big salute, and Zhai and Pomegranate helped her to sit on the rattan chair.

Wen Jin saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked Pomegranate and Zhai to withdraw.

"Mr. Qian, I used to follow Prince Ren's son."

Wen Jin's mind turned instantly: "Are you the little maid of the young man of Qian Jun?" ”

"Yes!" The man nodded.

"You didn't come to Pingling Mansion with the prince." Wen Jin is not suspicious, but strange.

"I, I was plotted, my feet froze, and I couldn't serve the prince anymore, so I went to the villa outside the city of the prince's mansion."

Wen Jin really wanted to know how Qian Jun was now, but this person didn't come back from Western Xinjiang, so he shouldn't know if he asked.

The person who came had nothing to say and said, "Mr. Qian, where did Brother Ling go?" ”

"I went to Zhongjiang Mansion, my brother won the move last year, he thought that he was young and did not know enough, so he went to Huyang Zhi County, the provincial capital, to be a master, I wanted to accumulate some experience, see and know, and also took the opportunity to study for three more years, and then consider taking the examination, in the autumn, Lord Lu went to Zhongjiang to serve, and he also followed."

"Oh!" The man nodded, "Young Master Qian, our son is studying in the academy, and he has a very close relationship with Brother Ling, and he once lived here, right?" ”

Thinking of Qian Jun, Wen Jin couldn't help but smile slightly: "Yes, Shizi used to have a light diet, and he had never eaten spicy food, I didn't know his taste, so I made spicy fried fat sausages." Thinking of the way Qian Jun almost stuck out his tongue to fan the wind, Wen Jin couldn't help but smile again, "Although the first time the prince is very unaccustomed to it, but later, he likes it very much." ”

Zheng Xin is the son of Qian Jun's nurse, who grew up with the little master, and knows how picky he is when he eats, but now when he hears Wen Jin say such things, his eyes are about to fall out in surprise, and he can't help but sigh: "Is it?" ”

"Hmm!" Wen Jin didn't expect that Qian Jun would make such a deep impression on her, remembering Shi Zhenzong's regretful expression that day when she plotted against Qian Jun, but was pursued by him with victory and failed to enjoy it, she couldn't help but smile again, "Although the prince of the world pretends to be a fool on the surface, he has lofty ambitions in his heart, is well-read and strong-minded, and is all-round in civil and military affairs, just like the dragon and phoenix among that person, which is rare in the world." ”

Zheng Xin could see that Wen Jin was sincere when he said this, without a trace of flattery and perfunctory, and suddenly felt like a confidant, how could his master be raised by that evil woman with a bunch of girls? At that time, the son suddenly disappeared, he was so anxious to look around, let people push down in the snow nest, frozen off their feet, his mother went crazy for two years, until someone secretly told them the news of the son, this slowly improved, in the blink of an eye is more than six years, he is almost isolated from the world in the farm, rarely hear the news of the son, until this time, the mother's former best friend Wu Ma, secretly sent a stack of letters.

The mother went out, mobilized all her connections, got him a fake business license, and asked him to send the letter.

Living in an extremely complex environment since childhood, Zheng Xin was very cautious in doing things, and he first had to find out the details of Wen Jin through conversation before making a decision on the next step. Zheng Xin saw that Wen Jin was a pure-hearted woman, and at the same time, he was decisive and daring, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, no wonder he could enter the eyes of the prince, the Qian Wenhan in the letter must also be a very good young man, otherwise, he would not have become a good friend with the prince. The war in Western Xinjiang is so busy, and the prince does not forget to write letters to these two every month, and their feelings can be seen.
