Chapter 239: Arrival in Beijing
When the rain stopped, Chu Wenqian wanted to see the surrounding situation, and Chen Xiuyan went with him, of course, this was an excuse to the outside world, but in fact, he was inspecting the shops and terrain, and rented an empty farmhouse in the suburbs.
Qian Dongliang took the order to take people around to buy food, of course, to places where there were no floods, but the nearest ones could also buy some first.
The price of grain is rising, as long as the price is in place, the grain is still easy to buy, Qian Dongliang was very lucky to meet the dart bureau selling grain halfway, they are doing some small business while taking darts, Qian Dongliang came back a day later, brought back twenty carts of grain, one cart has twenty stones, a total of four hundred stones.
There was food in the house, Chen Xiuyan took advantage of no one to pay attention to add a few sacks to it, and then food came in one after another, and the specific amount of food came in again at the beginning, Chu Wenqian said that it would be calculated when it was to be sent over, and Chen Xiuyan increased the amount.
After Qian Dongliang came back, Chu Wenqian asked Fuxing to be in charge of food matters, he was the emperor's person, and he was responsible for delivering food, so the emperor would not suspect that the more food at this time, the better, no one would wonder why there was so much food, but would be happy that there was so much food.
Chu Wenqian and his entourage wanted to go first, let Fuxing return to the capital and report the situation to him, and then go to the capital on August 20.
There was a delay on the way, so the distance after that was accelerated, and the first few days were spent almost a day, and finally on the evening of August 30, we arrived at the gate of the capital.
Fu Rong took a lot of people to the capital after getting the holy decree, and cleaned up the Jin Wang's Mansion in the capital, and finally completed it after more than a month of busy work.
After a long journey, Chu Wenqian and his party had no other thoughts after arriving at the Jin Palace, they just wanted to rest and sleep.
But it's not so easy to sleep on.
After all, there were many people waiting for them to enter Beijing, and the one in the palace couldn't sit still, and the emperor was anxious to see Concubine Yuan; King Chengping couldn't wait, he hadn't seen his granddaughter Changshou County Lord for more than three months, and he knew that when he arrived at the Jin Wangfu in the capital, where could he wait for the master.
Then Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan were washing, and they just lay down and didn't sleep for a quarter of an hour, when they were woken up by their subordinates, and then knelt down after dressing neatly.
The emperor saw Concubine Yuan crying directly, and others could only lower their heads as if they didn't see it, and the two of them held the pain for a full cup of tea, but fortunately, they let others retreat after that.
Others: Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they were notified by the next person again, and King Chengping came.
The county lord of Changshou was sleeping soundly at this time, and King Chengping went in to see it and sincerely thanked Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan, and then went back first.
Although King Chengping and the emperor did not meet each other, they knew each other.
The emperor didn't stay in the Jin Palace's for a long time, and it was only an hour to be full, after all, Concubine Yuan had traveled a long way, and he knew how his face was when he was a son, and he was embarrassed to stay longer.
Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan almost fell asleep when they fell on the bed again.
When the two of them were asleep, the emperor and King Chengping already knew about their journey along the way, and when they learned that Chu Wenqian asked people to buy grain everywhere and send it to Taiyuan Mansion, they were a little emotional, they were all a little emotional, they were an official.
The main person who does things is still Fuxing, and the emperor feels that Chu Wenqian has inherited the cautious and scheming temperament of the King of Jin, even if he didn't grow up by his side, the roots in his blood are there, but the emperor's mood is surprisingly good, after all, the prince of the fiefdom and his son are outstanding, he can also save a lot of worry, and the money bag of the household can also leave more money.
Chu Wenqian's appointment time is September 16, and he can rest at home for a period of time and visit relatives.
Early in the morning of the first day of September, Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan took the county lord of Changshou and went to the Taifu Mansion casually.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Tao Lao is still the same temperament, but after all, he is old, and Chen Xiuyan finds that Tao Lao has lost some weight.
Wang Yajie lived in Taifu's mansion, and he blamed himself a little, "The master is tired because of teaching me, and he had a fever a few days ago." ”
"What does fever have to do with teaching you?" Tao Lao blew his beard and glared speechlessly, "But the medicine left to me by Xiao Yanyan is effective, so I took it twice, okay." ”
"I think my body and bones have been healthier in the past two years, what kind of rice wine did you give, it's very healthy, is there anything else?" Tao Lao looked at Chen Xiuyan and begged without blushing at all.
"Yes, I brought two jars, anyway, we will be in the capital in the future, and I will send them to you again if there is no more." Chen Xiuyan responded with a smile.
"You have a conscience." Tao Lao smiled, and then put his focus on casual, "This is casual, to be honest, you have obtained this nickname well, casual and simple, both the meaning of the farmer's cheap raising, shouting with a sense of intimacy, hehe, isn't it casual." ”
Tao Lao carefully hugged casually, this month's child is like to "babble" when he likes, his hands and legs also have some strength, and he will start to writhe, but he doesn't know if he is particularly sensible, he didn't move much in Tao Lao's arms, just reached out and gently stroked his beard, and then smiled and spit bubbles.
Xide Tao Lao immediately sent the meeting gifts that had been prepared for a long time, gold lock plates, gold collars, bracelets, anklets, and a big red envelope, house deed, and land deed.
"I didn't expect Tao Lao to be so rich." Chen Xiuyan smacked her tongue, "It can't be that the mansion is empty, right?" ”
Chen Xiuyan's words of course won the eyes of Tao Laoda, and Steward Tao listened to it with a sour and sweet heart, happy that Tao Lao was more energetic, and what was uncomfortable was that there was always something to give.
"I'm so old and in such a high position, I'm a fool if I don't have money." Tao Lao sighed and said, "Wen Qian's current identity is not suitable for me to be my disciple anymore, fortunately, our two masters are also related to each other now, and the contacts can be more frequent, but those who are friends with me can't take you to see you again." ”
"You recognize that your ancestors and return to your ancestors are precious, and you don't need to work hard all your life, it makes sense to take care of yourself." Tao Lao said, "The mantle can't be inherited by you, and the family's property can always be divided among you." ”
"I also have a ...... in the industry"
Chu Wenqian's words were swallowed back under Tao Lao's glare, "What you used to do was your own, and then it was given by your father-in-law, what advice do I, as an uncle, want to give you." ”
"Nope."
Tao Lao snorted with satisfaction, "Chu Yu's side I also prepare, don't worry, although I am partial, but the fairness and justice that should be there is enough face, you don't talk nonsense, after all, I will give you more." ”
