Chapter Eighty-Nine: First Arrival in Beijing
In the evening, the 'spring' grass was about to pick up Lu Ziqi, and when he arrived at the 'door', he saw Lu Ziqi coming back.
It was not too early, so the two said goodbye to the eldest girl and got into the carriage to return to the vineyard in Taiping Town.
Although he felt that Lu Ziqi should have no problem being admitted to Xiucai, he still asked, "How is it?" ”
"'Pretty good.' Lu Ziqi replied lightly.
'Spring' grass wanted to go out as soon as possible, so she asked, "When will the list be released?" ”
"Still three days later."
"That's the ninth day of the first month, then let's set off on the tenth day of the first month." 'Spring' grass has always remembered Wanfeng, staying here, there is no news, it is very worrying.
Lu Ziqi nodded, "Listen to you, let's prepare for the next few days." ”
When they got home, the two of them didn't care too much about the results of the autumn exam, and they were busy arranging the things of the workshop and packing their luggage to go to Beijing.
When the list was released on the ninth day of the first year, he was admitted to Xiucai without any suspense, Lu Ziqi himself was not surprised, and the others were 'very' excited.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, it was also the full moon of the nephew, and the 'spring' grass beckoned someone to arrange, and the front hall was full of lanterns that night, and the banquet was held, and the family, Uncle Fang and the eldest girl Yu Haoran, the family members of the family all gathered together to celebrate the full moon of the nephew, and at the same time, the two of them will leave tomorrow, which can be regarded as a farewell meal with everyone.
Bao'er full moon, the pillar daughter-in-law 'woman' has just come out of confinement, everyone can only say congratulations to the pillar daughter-in-law 'woman', as for Lu Ziqi's 'spring' grass, there are many people who came to toast, I wish the two of them a smooth journey, Lu Ziqi is afraid that the 'spring' grass will drink too much, try to pour a little less wine into the 'spring' grass cup, the 'spring' grass is not polite, drink a cup of joy, see the 'spring' grass drink a little fluttery, 'spring' grass Niang stopped everyone from continuing to toast.
In the end, the 'spring' grass was still drunk and was carried back by Lu Ziqi.
The hangover of the first day led to the next morning, only to go out 'door'. The things have already been packed up, and I reluctantly said goodbye to my mother, sister-in-law and lovely little nephew, and got into the carriage to Beijing.
'Spring' grass was a little worried about the family, Lu Ziqi let 'Spring' Lan Xiazhu continue to stay with his mother and sister-in-law, and Lu Yong's men also left a few at home.
Just arrived in Fengcheng, the "spring" grass is still "fine" and vigorous, some excited and curious to wander around, and then continue to walk for a few days, the carriage all the way bumpy, the "spring" grass will be completely tossed without interest, every day without "fine" nest in the carriage, to the inn, then the rules and regulations to sleep, but in the "bed" feel that the whole person is wandering.
When he got to the back, the 'spring' grass began to get sick, what to eat and vomit, the whole person was groggy, there was no way, Lu Ziqi had to take the 'spring' grass to ride a horse, and the two of them rode together, for fear of bumping to the 'spring' grass, so they slowed down the speed of travel.
After walking for a month, I finally arrived in Shangjing.
As the imperial capital, it is really bigger than other state cities, the buildings are majestic, prosperous and lively, but the 'spring' grass is not appreciated by the 'spirit', I just want to sleep well and eat a full meal.
Lu Ziqi sent someone to arrange everything in Shangjing earlier, the rich area of the city, a quiet house, on the big 'door' of the house, there are simple Lu Mansion two words, into the courtyard is two-in, not big, the layout is 'quite 'elegant', the people arranged in the courtyard are also transferred from Quzhou, and they are all practitioners of some kung fu.
Just look at the eyes of the 'spring' grass, they are all respectful but disdainful on the surface, and the 'spring' grass is too lazy to take care of it, anyway, she is married to a nerd, and the rest is none of her business.
On the day of going to Beijing, I took a carriage for almost half a day, and as soon as I arrived at the house and entered the arranged bedroom, I fell asleep with the spring grass upside down, and slept until it was dark, and then I woke up slowly, and my stomach was also hungry, and I got up and went out when I saw the lights on outside.
Lu Ziqi was sitting on the soft floor of the outer room flipping through the book, and when he saw the 'spring' grass coming out, he got up and helped the 'spring' grass to sit down at the table, and then commanded to the 'door', "Lu Yong, prepare dinner." ”
'Spring' grass looked at the dark outside, "What time is it?" ”
Lu Ziqi took a coat and draped it on the body of the 'spring' grass who only wore underwear, and complained, "Why can't you remember to put on clothes first when you go out." ”
'Spring' grass pouted, "It's warm here, I forgot." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Ju Dongmei and two other maids came up with food.
Lu Ziqi returned to the 'spring' grass, "It's time, prepare hot water, soak in it after eating, rest early, I have already asked people to inquire about Xue's mansion, and I will take you to Xue Yueyue tomorrow, and by the way, see if there is a chance to see Wan Lei and his brother." ”
'Spring' grass nodded, did not speak, was indeed hungry, and quietly buried his head in hard food.
Seeing that Lu Ziqi only saw that he didn't move his chopsticks, the 'spring' grass wrapped a mouthful of vegetables in his mouth, and said inarticulately, "Don't you eat?" ”
Lu Ziqi shook his head, "I already ate it when you slept." ”
After eating, the maid cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and 'Chun' Cao opened her mouth and asked, "Have you inquired about the news of Dao Wanfeng?" ”
Lu Ziqi was very unhappy, he cared so much about Wanfeng for the 'spring' grass, no matter what the reason, he was not very comfortable in his heart, but he had to work hard to run 'waves', he knew the meaning of Wanfeng for the 'spring' grass.
"I heard that he was locked up in the water prison of King Rong's mansion, and Wan Lei went directly to King Rong to ask for someone, but King Rong denied it and sued Wan Lei from the emperor. However, our people found out something else. ”
'Spring' grass nervously asked, "What's the news?" ”
Lu Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth heavily, "King Rong seems to have something to do with the Gongsun family. ”
"The Gongsun family? The Gongsun family of Ogi Province? "'Spring' grass is very surprised, now the Gongsun family of the Ogi Kingdom is the ruler of the Ogi Kingdom, how can King Rong, as the prince of the Great Zhou, have anything to do with the Gongsun family, is it?
'Chun' Cao's eyes widened and looked at Lu Ziqi, "King Rong wants to usurp the throne?" ”
Lu Ziqi said, "I don't know if I usurp the throne or not, but I definitely don't have a good heart." I suspect that Wan Feng was captured by King Rong, and he probably knows something. ”
'Chun' Cao said nervously, "Then let's hurry up and find Wan Lei, let Wan Lei go to the emperor, and tell the emperor that King Rong has a problem." ”
Lu Ziqi shook his head, "It's useless, the emperor was able to sit on the throne at the beginning, eradicate the relatives and foreign parties, King Rong made a lot of efforts, and only now has the status of King Rong in the Great Zhou, if there is not enough evidence, the emperor will only cure Wan Lei for the crime of provoking the monarch and ministers." ”
'Chun' Cao was a little irritable, "Aren't your Lu family royal secret guards?" And the queen mother is also handled by your Lu family, you go and say, the emperor should always believe it. ”
"My father killed the Queen Mother, and he didn't 'reveal' his identity to the emperor, and there is no evidence, so it won't work."
Hearing that this is not going to work, it is not going to work, so she is a little anxious, and her eyes are red, "Then what should I do now?" ”
Lu Ziqi hugged the 'spring' grass and patted the 'spring' grass on the back, "I have already informed the three elders that King Rong has a problem, and those three old men, as soon as they heard that it threatened the throne of the Great Zhou, they had already sent someone to 'mix' into the Rongwang Mansion to start investigating." King Rong caught Wan Feng and didn't dare to make any moves, maybe Wan Feng had some handle in King Rong's hand and didn't dare to kill him, so he definitely didn't have any danger to his life, don't worry about it first, let's find a way slowly. ”
'Chun' Cao's eyes lit up, "Could it be that Wan Feng has mastered something about King Rong, why don't we go to Wan Feng, maybe we can get evidence." ”
When Lu Ziqi heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he said, "Then I will ask Lu Yong to find a few masters and go to the water prison of Rongwangfu to explore, but there are many masters in Rongwangfu now, I'm afraid it is not easy." ”
'Spring' Cao was very anxious, "Then you have to try it, you hurry up and go to Lu Yong to arrange it." ”
Lu Ziqi pulled the 'spring' grass into the bedroom, "You rest first, I'll let people carry hot water in, and then go to the study to arrange." ”
'Chun' herb wanted to follow, but he just remembered the eyes of those subordinate guards looking at him, so he dispelled his thoughts, nodded, and urged Lu Ziqi, "You go quickly, don't worry about me." ”
Lu Ziqi watched his subordinates bring hot water in, told the maid to wait for him, closed the 'door' and went out. It's just that the 'spring' grass is still tossing and turning on the 'bed', and it is difficult to sleep.
I wanted to wait for the nerd to come back and ask about the situation, but Lu Ziqi went for a long time and didn't return, and the 'spring' grass was tired again, and he couldn't resist the sleepiness, and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the 'spring' grass rarely got up early, and after breakfast, he urged Lu Ziqi to go to Xue's mansion.
When I arrived at Xue's Mansion, I asked the 'door' room to report that it was a relative from Shuangshi Town, and the 'door' room saw that Lu Ziqi's 'spring' grass had an extraordinary temperament and was also dressed exquisitely, so he hurriedly went in to report.
Xue Yueyue came out soon, and came out with it, as well as Xue Yangyang, who didn't entertain the two into the Xue Mansion, Yueyue spoke directly, "This Xue Mansion is 'messy', so I won't take you in, let's go to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion." ”
'Chun' Cao understood that the family was a big family, and the relationship was complicated, so he didn't say anything, and directly let the two of them get into their own carriage and go to the ten-mile long pavilion.
Xue Yueyue usually has a big grin, looking elated, but now it is rare to have a steady face, which really makes the 'spring' grass a little unaccustomed.
On the carriage, 'Chun' Cao asked, Wan Lei Ke was still in Beijing, Xue Yangyang nodded, "In Wanfu, I was grounded as soon as I came back, because of Cousin Feng's matter, I was involved in a book by King Rong, Your Majesty hindered my grandfather's face, and I didn't dig deeper, just let my grandfather discipline him well, and my grandfather was angry, so he grounded Wan Lei in Wanfu." ”
"How so?" 'Spring' grass frowned, still thinking about meeting Wan Lei and discussing.
Xue Yueyue spoke, "You know about Cousin Feng, because Cousin Feng doesn't care about family affairs, he only likes to do business and run around, my grandfather doesn't like Cousin Feng, and he pins his hopes on Cousin Lei, and now Cousin Lei has been involved by King Rong because of Cousin Feng's affairs, and has lost the emperor's trust, and my grandfather is even more angry, and he doesn't care about Cousin Feng's affairs, and now we are helpless." ”
'Chun' Cao frowned, thinking about the mines he gave Wan Lei, it is estimated that he has not yet had time to give them out in a hurry, he still has to find a way to see Wan Lei again, or bring a letter to Wan Lei, and let Wan Lei take the matter of the mines to face the saint, the emperor will definitely be impressed by Wan Lei, and maybe he can contain King Rong's unscrupulousness.
Soon arrived at the ten-mile long pavilion, the Xue family brothers and sisters are all frequent customers, and the shopkeeper also knows that this is the honored guest of the owner, as soon as he came, he took a few people into the private room upstairs, Xue Yangyang ordered not to disturb people, and the shopkeeper called the little two in the store to go down and bring the 'door'.
