Chapter 149: North-South Confrontation: A New Pattern (5)
"Wanyu, don't be restrained, we are a family, your sister will come back in a while, her father will definitely not let her out before winter, you discipline her for me." Gu Qingfeng picked up Lu Wanyu's wisps of green silk that were blown away by the wind and said softly.
Today is the day when Meng Wanshu returns to Chengdu, Gu Qingfeng took Lu Wanyu to wait outside the door early, although it is autumn, but Chengdu is still very hot during the day, looking at the quiet Lu Wanyu in front of him, Gu Qingfeng likes it from the bottom of his heart, not listening to himself, but helping to pull Meng Jingyi who wants to run out.
"Niangniang, Sister Wanshu is very active, and it's too late for the courtiers to envy her." Lu Wanyu's soft voice said good things for her cousin.
"Forget it, your uncle was furious about this girl in the library a few days ago, if it weren't for your father, he would have sent someone to arrest her." Gu Qingfeng really didn't have any tricks against Meng Wanshu.
"This time my brother went over in person, Sister Wanshu has been a little afraid of her brother since she was a child, and nothing will happen." Lu Wanyu said with relief, the brother in her mouth is her brother Meng Jingye, whose real name is Lu Ye, after Meng Zhao's coffin returned to Chengdu, Lu Chongzong changed his name back to Meng's for him.
"Jing Ye is a good boy, he has studied hard in Qingyang Academy all these years, and his martial arts cultivation has not been pulled down, but your father does not agree with him joining the army, it's a pity." This is Gu Qingfeng's sincere words, among the three generations of Montessori's disciples, his cultivation, character, and achievements in both civil and military veins are all superior, and even better than Meng Jingyan in terms of culture.
"Niangniang, Uncle Wang asked people to go to the house yesterday to announce the order, and after my brother came back, he went directly to the Counselor's Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and my father was angry at home last night." Thinking of his serious father who was angry all day long, he wanted to laugh, no one in the entire Xifu dared to offend him, except for Uncle Wang, he never cared if his father was willing or not, he dealt with it directly, it didn't matter if he didn't agree, as soon as King Yong's order came out, his father had no choice but to sulk at home.
Gu Qingfeng took Lu Wanyu's hand and stroked it: "You don't need such an honorific title in front of your family, you can just call me aunt, your uncle doesn't like this kind of vulgar etiquette the most, do you understand?" ”
As smart as Lu Wanyu, where would she not understand Gu Qingfeng's meaning, firstly, she hoped that her family would be closer, and secondly, she was beating herself too seriously, thinking of this, Lu Wanyu immediately said: "Thank you, auntie, this is also in front of you and your uncle, if my father hears it, he will definitely let me ground." ”
Seeing that Lu Wanyu was so knowledgeable, Gu Qingfeng looked at her with satisfaction, and then said, "Wanyu, do you want to enter the Ming Jian Division?" ”
Women as officials are nothing in Xifu, and now many officials and generals under the rule of Xifu have women, although there are not many, but everyone has gradually accepted it, whether it is a noble girl like Lu Wanyu, or a woman from a civilian family, who does not yearn to break out of their own world.
I saw Lu Wanyu say with a little excitement and hesitation: "Auntie, can I?" Is the Ming Jian Division willing to ask for me? ”
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Chenghou has repeatedly asked to resign from the position of commander of the Mingjian Division because of the matter of Yingshuai, and your uncle has decided not to stop it, she has been presiding over the Mingjian Division for so many years, and she has been living separately from Yingshuai, it just so happened that Deng Zhongtang entered the right servant of the cardinal platform some time ago, and the middle hall of the Supervision Yuan was empty, so your uncle plans to let her enter the Supervision Institute as the middle hall." ”
"Chenghou enters the inspection institute, and the entire Xifu is afraid that there will be an earthquake!" Lu Wanyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
When Deng Gang presided over the Supervision Academy, it was quite stable, and he was able to get by with the hundred officials and generals, and now let Su Qing be the middle hall of the Supervision Academy, which is clearly to clean up the officials, suddenly, a thought flashed in Lu Wanyu's mind, and said in her heart: "It seems that Uncle is going to go further." ”
"That's business, my aunt only cares about your brothers and sisters, do you think? Let's be honest. Gu Qingfeng stared at her with tender eyes.
Lu Wanyu struggled for a cup of tea, and said respectfully: "Thank you aunt for your love, Wanyu is willing!" ”
"That's good, now the commander of the Mingjian Division is vacant, and I have always been in charge of it, I have a lot of things on weekdays, and I must not be able to take care of it, I told your uncle that I want you and Wanshu to enter the Mingjian Division to help me sort out the information of the exchanges, your uncle has agreed, and now as long as you nod, another edict is here." Gu Qingfeng said as he took out an edict from his sleeve and shook it in front of Lu Wanyu's eyes.
Lu Wanyu grabbed it directly, her face turned slightly red, and she said shyly: "Auntie is making fun of me!" ”
"It's not because of your stubborn father, you can't be as weak as you are now when you go to the Ming Jian Division, you know?"
"My niece understands that the Mingjian Division can be famous all over the world because it is hosted by a woman, and secondly, the system within the Mingjian Division is strict, although it is too heavy to avoid killing, but the spy organization always can't avoid killing, and my niece dares to say that our Xifu Mingjian Division is definitely the most capricious spy organization." Lu Wanyu had already studied the Ming Jian Division.
Gu Qingfeng nodded and said: "What you said is right, when you go to the Mingjian Division, you have to put away your compassion and thoughts, you have a calm temperament, first go to the West Courtyard of the Mingjian Division to experience, and the West Courtyard is in charge of espionage analysis." ”
"Niece understands, Sister Wanshu is also in the West Courtyard?"
The five courts of the Mingjian Division and the seven halls are the basic composition of the Mingjian Division, the seven halls are respectively presiding over the specific implementation of affairs, the five courts of the east, west, north and south are the operating institutions of the headquarters of the Chengdu Mingjian Division, the East Court is responsible for espionage documents, the West Court is responsible for the analysis of espionage, the South Court is responsible for the personnel information of the Mingjian Division, the North Court is responsible for the inner prison, and the Intermediate Court uploads and issues orders.
"She has a detached temperament, she is not suitable for working in the West Courtyard, she works in the East Courtyard, which can consume her excess energy, you two have to work hard, the future of the Ming Jian Division depends on you." Gu Qingfeng made no secret of his intention to entrust him with a heavy task.
Lu Wanyu's heart was surging suddenly, and she suppressed the excitement in her heart as much as possible to calm herself down, it seems that her uncle and aunt are unwilling to hand over the Ming Jian Division to outsiders, and Chenghou followed her uncle when he first started the incident, although the matter of having a master-servant relationship with the queen of the Chu Dynasty has always been criticized, but Su Qing has never done anything to damage Xifu, this is the pattern.
The two talked for a while, and the sound of horses' hooves and carts came from the east in bits and pieces, led by Meng Jingye riding on a horse, scolding the driver as he walked, and he couldn't hear what he said specifically because of the distance, but what was certain was that Meng Wanshu was afraid, otherwise she would have abandoned the car and got on the horse according to her temperament.
Gu Qingfeng took Lu Wanyu and the others to greet him with a smile, and Meng Jingye saw that Gu Qingfeng came to greet him in person, so he hurriedly dismounted and bowed: "Weichen Meng Jingye has seen the princess!" ”
Gu Qingfeng personally helped him up and said with a smile: "Today is a family matter, there is no need to do this, auntie also wants to thank you for escorting this girl back to me." ”
After speaking, he looked at the driver, but the driver didn't react at all, Gu Qingfeng immediately said with a stiff face: "What?" Scared? Didn't you think there would be today when you were messing around that day? This time, I asked my brother to escort you back, and next time I asked General An to pick you up! ”
After a long while, the curtain of the car was opened, and Meng Wanshu, who had a bitter gourd face, reluctantly saluted and said, "Thank you for coming to pick up the concubine in person, whether to go back to the palace or to be punished." ”
Most of the people who accompanied the car were old people from the palace, and they were all laughing when they saw that the county lord who had always been proud was like a frosted eggplant, but fortunately, Lu Wanyu gave the steps, and walked forward with a smile to hold Meng Wanshu's arm and said, "It's good that my sister is back, and Niangniang is not worried about you to let your eldest brother go." ”
While speaking, he kicked Meng Jingye on the side, and said strangely: "Big brother, you too, it's good for people to come back, it must be you who scared your sister by breaking your mouth along the way." ”
Meng Jingye glared, frowned and was about to justify, but Lu Wanyu didn't give him a chance, and pulled the reluctant Meng Wanshu into Gu Qingfeng's car, leaving Meng Jingye standing alone and panting.
It's not good to be an aunt and snub your hard-working nephew, Gu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Jing Ye has worked hard, let's go into the city quickly, your Uncle Wang, your father, and your thirteenth uncle are all waiting for you in the palace." ”
Meng Jingye heard Gu Qingfeng speak, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "There is Lao Niangniang to greet her, even so, there is no reason to let the elders wait, and immediately enter the city." After speaking, he bowed his head and half-bent over, and made a gesture of please, and skillfully made it.
Gu Qingfeng didn't bother to correct him, and got into the car directly, whether Meng Wanshu was injured or not, and how her body was what she was most worried about.
After passing through Aries City, the defense work of the car was naturally handed over to An Cang to be responsible, and seeing An Cang come over in person, Meng Wanshu was even more apprehensive in her heart, General An Cang generally does not come out to greet people easily, even if it is to greet people, he is waiting outside the palace, and in addition to his father and mother who can let him wait in person for the inner acropolis, there are only two situations left, one is a person at the level of a triumphant general; The second is a person who has committed a great sin, and he is obviously not the first type of person.
"What? Scared? Your father summoned you back again and again, you have to listen, you can find Shangyong to find trouble with Zhou Ce, you are also really capable, if it wasn't for your eldest brother to pick you up in person, do you still plan not to come back? Gu Qingfeng said angrily.
Yes, the mother concubine didn't help herself, this time she was dead, her little hands clasped her nails along the way, and when she was about to pick her nails bald, she arrived at the palace gate, and saw the thirteenth uncle Meng Yan smiling and accompanying her father and uncle, Meng Wanshu felt a little at ease, the thirteenth uncle hurt himself the most, and besides, there was a big uncle, and the father would definitely not have a seizure on the spot, which was already commendable, at least he would not lose face in the public, and he would just admit his mistake when he returned to the palace.
Meng Wanshu got out of the car under Gu Qingfeng's urging, and when she saw her father's gloomy face, she suddenly felt weak.
A person with a good fortune can always turn evil into good fortune, this is not Uncle Thirteen stood up with a smile and said: "Brother Wang, it's good that people are back, you see, when you leave, what kind of thin has the little girl who was still in the water and spirit, Zhou Ce should be beaten." ”
"You're going to be with the mud!" Meng Yan did not hide his displeasure.
Meng Yan's words didn't work, so the eldest uncle took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Lord, the goddaughter is not here, if you have anything to say back to the palace." ”
Meng Yan held his breath and yelled at Meng Wanshu: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Do you want me to invite you! ”
Frightened, Meng Wanshu dragged Lu Wanyu tightly and ran to the palace, nothing else, dragging one by one, there is always some damage to be resisted by having a cousin in front.
Looking at Meng Wanshu's fleeing posture, Meng Yan was even more angry, and said to Lu Chongzong: "Brother, look at it!" Where is there still a little bit of a girl's house! ”
"The son does not teach the father's fault, you should review it yourself, it is good that the child can come back, if you teach her again, I will take her to my house." Lu Chongzong said domineeringly, I think that you and your wife have occupied my children all the year round, and I can't let you go.
