Chapter 177: Edgeworth

"When you mention this, the mourning family remembers." The Queen Mother said: "His article, the mourning family likes to read it very much, it is said that he is a genius in Hangzhou, right?" The mourning family heard Hongxiu say it. ”

"Hongxiu ......" Jiajing seemed to remember something, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Queen Mother, is Hongxiu's imperial sword still there?" You go and ask her where she lost this edgeworth. ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "Her temperament, will you not know?" The most is lost, she told the mourning family about this, saying that when she was in Nanjing, the sword was lost, but it was just a sword, and she played with it, what are you doing so seriously? Is it really impossible to punish him? She is a child's heart, you have to let her more. ”

"Lost in Nanjing?" Jiajing's eyes moved, and he didn't say anything, but said, "Take care of the queen mother, and your son will come to see you tomorrow." ”

After that, Jiajing stood up, saw this messy palace, and said to the eunuch in charge who was too frightened to make a sound: "You clean up, don't alarm the palace supervisor, the matter here will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes." The chief eunuch is only authentic.

Jiajing came out of Cining Palace, but he was not in a hurry to go to the court, although it was not early now, he remembered something, sat down, and then said: "Go to Dongnuan Pavilion, let Huang Companion also wait there." ”

By the time Jiajing arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion slowly, Huang Jin was already waiting here, and he didn't know what was happening in Cining Palace, but he originally expected the emperor to be in high spirits today, but what he didn't expect was that Jiajing's face was not very good.

Stepping into the pavilion, Jiajing didn't sell Guanzi, and immediately said: "Now that he has solved the yuan in high school, will Xu Qian enter Beijing?" ”

Huang Jin hurriedly said: "Wang Fen already has news from there, saying that he has already chosen a day to enter Beijing, and he is on a boat. Going directly north along the canal, it is estimated that most of them have now entered the boundary of Shandong. ”

Jiajing squinted his eyes and said slowly: "When he arrives in Jingshi, don't alarm him for the time being, and see where he settles." ”

Huang Jin nodded and said, "The slave understands. ”

Jiajing said again: "There is one more thing, Hongxiu's imperial sword was lost in Nanjing?" ”

Jiajing suddenly asked this, which made Huang Jin a little overwhelmed, he hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The slave maid is going to Hangzhou with His Royal Highness." When she was in Nanjing, the slave remembered that Edgeworth was still there. ”

"Really?" Jiajing's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "Don't mention this matter again, if someone asks." You just said that Hongxiu's imperial sword was lost in Nanjing, understand? ”

"Yes."

Jiajing then smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I should also go to the court meeting, today's court meeting, and I don't know what will happen, you can go with me." ”

Huang Jin suddenly said, "Your Majesty." The slave had a reluctant request. ”

Jiajing was silent for a moment, and glanced at him curiously, obviously this Huang Banban rarely makes his own opinions, and he is only a yes at most. Jiajing smiled self-deprecatingly. "You say." ”

Huang Jin said in horror: "Wang Fen, who is in the bureau, is quite dedicated, and the slave is wondering if she is taking this opportunity." Transfer him to the Beijing Division. ”

Jiajing pursed her lips, and her gaze narrowed into an arc: "What should I do over there in the Creation Bureau?" ”

"The slave has a candidate."

Jiajing smiled and said, "You can do it yourself." I can trust you. ”

Huang Jin's heart fell at this time, and he said happily: "Thank you." ”

Xu Qian and his entourage arrived by boat in Beitongzhou, which is one of the important towns in Hebei, especially the ships of Caoyun pass through here, and the imperial court has always attached great importance to it.

However, Xu Qian did not stay too long, he stayed in Beitongzhou for one night and then asked Xu Fu to hire a passenger boat, from here to Beijing there are also waterways, although because the river is not wide, can not pass the large boat, but many people into Beijing love to take the kind of Wupeng passenger boat into Beijing, Xu Qian and others speak Wu Mandarin, Xu Qian is afraid that people will be slaughtered in other places, so let this Xu Fu go, speaking of which Xu Fu is still his cousin, this kid will not be anything else, is to pick the door, I can't wait to divide a copper plate into two petals to spend. Let him hire a boat, Xu Qian is more relieved.

In the evening, Xu Fu came back and said to Xu Qian: "Son, the ship has been hired, four hundred and seventy yuan, and it will leave early tomorrow morning, saying that it will be able to reach Jingshi before the city gate is closed." ”、

Although they are cousins, these people insist that Xu Qian is the son, and they refuse to call their younger brother when they are killed, Xu Qian tried to correct it at first, but they insisted on it, and in the end they followed them, most of them This is also the old uncle's instructions.

Xu Qian frowned and said, "Why is it so expensive?" ”

Xu Fu said with a smile: "It's not expensive, because I'm afraid of this ship when the time comes."

The husband carried a lot of passengers, so he told them that only our people were allowed on this ship, so as to save the noisy ship and disturb the son. And the boatman also said that he was still in charge of food along the way, so he calculated it, but he picked up a big bargain. ”

This journey was tiring, although he didn't suffer anything, but Xu Qian also knew that these passenger ships liked to solicit passengers along the way, and they couldn't wait for a single person on this boat to get off their feet, and now that they have negotiated that only Xu Qian is allowed to carry five people, in this way, the money is still well spent. Coupled with the fact that meals are also provided for five people on board, this is really a big bargain.

Xu Qian turned his anger into joy and said: "Money is a trivial matter, if it can really be like this, it is to give him another hundred yuan, but it is not a loss, thank you for your hard work, cousin, you haven't eaten yet, you hurry up and ask your cousin to send two dishes to your room to eat." ”

Xu Fu was praised and went with a smile.

Along the way, Xu Qian and Xu Fu, Xu Lu, and Xu Shan got along quite well, after all, they were relatives, they were willing to work hard, and they never wanted to be lazy, so Xu Qian was also polite to them, but Xu Chen vomited and diarrhea every day because of seasickness, and he has not recovered until now, Xu Qian was afraid that something would happen to him, and the medical conditions in this era were not good after all, so as soon as he landed, he asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription for him to sleep.

At this time, Xu Qian was really tired, so he naturally went to bed early.

When he woke up the next day, Xu Fu led Xu Qian to the ferry with a full burden, Xu Qian was holding Xu Chen, Xu Chen wanted to eat candy, Xu Qian could only endure it, now on the road, it was better to coax him, this Xu Chen had snacks, and the whole person was glowing, and the cousin's cry was very hot.

When he arrived at the ferry, Xu Fu went to find the boat that had been negotiated last night, this is a very ordinary canopy boat, a little shabby, the deck area is not large, this boatman is a man in his thirties, he saw Xu Qian and others, beckoned everyone to get on the boat, and then said a few kind words with a smile in the standard Jingshi official dialect.

Xu Qian sat in the black peng, but didn't bother to pay attention, the boat went north along the river, but when it arrived at a ferry in front of it, it was docked, at this time, there were a few people who looked like small merchants to board the boat, Xu Fu looked at it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he stepped forward to negotiate with the boatman, just to ask why he came to pick up passengers at this time after he had negotiated and could not get passengers.

The boatman was right, and said in official words: "These are my relatives, not guests." ”

Xu Fu didn't believe it, so he went to ask these merchants, and the merchants were also divided, obviously and the boatman didn't know each other.

Xu Fu was so angry that he wanted to step forward to reason with the boatman, but the honest Xu Lu stopped him and said in a low voice: "When you go out, let's follow the son, what's the point of arguing over such a trivial matter?" ”

Xu Shan also persuaded over there, and came to find Xu Qian again, and asked Xu Qian to say something, Xu Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "Let Xu Fu come back, anyway, it doesn't hurt to have a few more people on the boat." ”

Xu Fu listened to Xu Qian's words the most, so he had to come back scolding, and said to Xu Qian ashamedly: "Childe, I was wrong, I was ...... originally."

Xu Qian sat on a low stool in the black peng, and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I'm about to go to Jingshi, and I'm going to see my father, it's all a trivial matter, and there's nothing in the way." ”

At noon, the so-called food was also greatly discounted, I thought that although it was not rich, at least it could be satisfying, who knew that it was a few cold and hard nests, Xu Fu was mad, Xu Qian was also indifferent, and said with a smile: "That's it, when you go out, there is no reason not to suffer." ”

Xu Qian rarely had a good temper, thinking that he was about to arrive in Jingshi, all the anger disappeared, only Xu Fu was very angry, and scolded and scolded, the boatman glared at him with his eyes, and Xu Lu fell asleep on the deck with his head covered.

In the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, the silhouette of the Kyoshi loomed, and under this dim sky, a majestic city wall was revealed.

Xu Qian hurriedly came out of Wupeng to see, and when he saw the majestic city wall and the urn city towers standing under the sky, he couldn't help but be excited, and shouted in his heart: "I, Xu Qian, am here!" ”

Immediately arrived at the ferry, the boat docked, Xu Lu and a few people packed up their things and prepared to get off the boat, the boatman came to ask for the boat money, Xu Fu refused to give him more, only took out four hundred money, the boatman was immediately angry, he knew that Xu Qian was the backbone of Xu Fu's people, and he didn't quarrel with Xu Fu, so he came to find Xu Qian, scolded and said: "I said four hundred and fifty yuan, why is it four hundred, you foreigners are really untrustworthy, and there are fifty yuan to get quickly, otherwise I will let you eat the lawsuit." ”

Xu Qian pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's not the four hundred and fifty yuan I talked to you about, what are you looking for me for?" Besides, why do you want to carry passengers when you say you don't carry passengers on the way? As for the food, not to mention, 400 yuan for you, you have already made a lot of money, what do you want? ”

After hearing this, the boatman not only did not retreat in spite of the difficulties, but proudly said in official words: "You bullshit scholar, are you blind? Don't look at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to be presumptuous as a foreigner, pay the money quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
