Chapter 406: Money and Money
"Don't you care about Lord Dong, he's a literati, and he wants to pass through Maudun's territory, don't you help find a few capable guards?" Wen Jin smiled slyly and gave a look that you understand.
"Hehehe." Qian Jun raised his eyebrows, "You are more anxious than me, okay, I'll do this today." ”
Emperor Yongchang was very strange that Qian Jun would care about Dong Jincai, but he was particularly concerned about Dong Jincai's mission to Northern Xinjiang, and he did not hesitate to send Sun Chao, a six-grade guard he admired.
Dong Jin saw that Sun Chao had brought thirty people to join, not to mention how bitter he was, with these outsiders, what tricks could he play? If he doesn't dare to resign, does he dare to refuse the person given by the emperor? was about to set off, and it was too late for him to play any tricks, so he had to ask Cui Qiming to report to Cui Gen and ask him to make corresponding adjustments.
From the capital to the northern Xinjiang, Dong Jin has only been gone for a month, Cui Qiming dressed as a fur merchant, waiting in Guankou Town is a little anxious, Mao Dun attaches great importance to Dong Jincai's mission to several northern countries, and is also very annoyed, so Cui Gen must be blocked, Dong Jincai used to make a good calculation, and it is impossible to let Cui Gen help and make a successful visit in one or two countries.
"What did Trigeun say?"
"Each for his own master, Cui Gen is unwilling to help."
Dong Jin was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand: "Mao Dun is too lonely, how will I deal with him in the future?" How much did I help him? Now it's my turn to have something, and he doesn't help or say anything, and dares to openly obstruct it. Doesn't he understand that the envoy will not do him any real harm, and maybe it will bring him benefits because of Jurong and the trade over there. Jurong won't kill him again, what is he worried about? ”
Cui Qiming sighed: "I told him all this, and my uncle also persuaded him, but unfortunately to no avail." Since the last defeat, Maudun's temper has become very strange, irritable, and self-serving, and I would have liked to stay a little longer and persuade him again, but he actually sent someone to kill me. ”
Dong Jincai was at a loss for a moment: "Then what should I do next?" ”
Cui Qiming smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" The emperor will not allow you to go back, however, his subordinates heard a news, Mao Dun's army was defeated, his strength was greatly reduced, in his northeast, there used to be a small tribe, and now it has grown, and the adults can bypass it from there, and persuade those people to be vassals to Jurong and contain Mao Dun, if it succeeds, the adult's trip is already considered to be worthy of the mission. ”
Dong Jincai was overjoyed, and the next day he stopped grinding, passed through the territory of Wuyatu, detoured to the uninhabited area in the east, and headed all the way north.
It was okay at first, but when he really arrived in a no-man's land, Dong Jincai's hardships in his life were not as much as these days, he didn't expect that there was such a place in the world, the ground was muddy, the sky was often cloudy, and it rained when it rained, and their carriage couldn't sit at all, and when they were slightly burdened, the wheels fell into the mud, and all the guards and servants who followed it had to carry food on their backs, and even Dong Jincai had to trek in the mud step by step, and he couldn't walk much in a day. Dong Jincai pulled out Cui Qiming's ancestors and scolded them, but when he went back, he felt that he couldn't draw it, so he had to move forward step by step.
The food is obviously not enough to eat, and I am afraid that I will not meet people, I can't get food, and when I encounter a larger water, those servants have to think of catching some fish and shrimp, and cook it as a dish, there is no oil and seasoning, and I can only sprinkle a little salt, so that all the people are very uncomfortable, and the others are young, but it is good to say, Dong Jincai quickly lost weight, the fat on his face is gone, his face is loose and drooping, the whole person looks black and old, the corners of his mouth and eyes droop, and the ferocity on his face is also increased. Just when the group couldn't hold on and was about to retreat, the road suddenly improved, and after walking for a few more days, they came across an alien hunter.
Although life has not changed substantially, with the hunter leading the way, their subsequent journey is much smoother, Dong Jincai can sit in the car most of the time, but the bumpy carriage makes him have to come down and walk from time to time, otherwise, this old bone may fall apart.
The weather became cold, and when they arrived here, they understood what it was really cold, Da Mao's clothes were on, and they were still shivering from the cold, and there was no charcoal to make a brazier, Dong Jincai didn't dare to take the carriage, lest he freeze to death.
There was a blood blister on his feet, he went down and got up again, it was worn out, and it hurt in his heart, and finally, it finally became a cocoon, Dong Jin felt that he felt that the clothes on his body were better than the guide, and the rest were no different from this mountain people.
"Hmph, wait for me to make meritorious service, return to the capital, and reinstate the official, how to clean you up!"
The people in the capital, although they don't know what Dong Jincai has suffered, they don't have to think about it to know that his life is not good, and they are all happy one by one, and they are happy to see the enemy eat deflated?
Before the winter in the capital, Wen Jin was busy giving Qian Qian to marry his daughter-in-law, the bride was a very beautiful little girl, she was different from Zhang Jue, she hadn't read much books, and family affairs were very ordinary.
The daughter-in-law of the family is bound by many rules, even if they want to make waves at home, it is not easy, so as long as the son likes it, Wen Jin and Qian Jun naturally do not interfere much.
Three days into the kitchen, wash hands and make soup, that is the matter of the daughter-in-law of a poor family, the daughter-in-law of the Prince of Nanhai, as long as she gets up in the morning to say hello.
Today is the day to return home, and Wen Jin has already prepared a gift for his daughter-in-law to take back to her in-laws.
Qian Lan's daughter's name is Lan Wan'er, and she was once very conceited about her appearance, the second son of the Prince of Nanhai's mansion, although he can't inherit the title, but who in the capital hasn't heard of his name? Northern Xinjiang victory, he has made the first contribution, such a talented and good-looking, illustrious young talent, is the dream lover of a girl in the capital, Lan Wan'er met Qian Zhaohui by chance at a banquet, she used all her body to solve it, and finally got her wish. Although she is married, Qian Lan's heart is still not panic and uneasy, she thinks that she is a moving flower, beautiful and elegant, pure and flawless, even if she doesn't say anything, don't do anything, just smile and stand in front of people, no one doesn't like it. Who knew that Lan Wan'er followed her husband to give tea to her in-laws the next day, and her heart seemed to fall from a high cliff, and she lost her confidence at all, and she was thundered by her mother-in-law's beauty.
