Chapter 140: You Are An Guogong?
Yue Shi happily arranged An Guogong's clothes while applying eye medicine.
"Is the concubine right? This An Yueli has only been away for a few days, and the person the master is looking for has been found. It can be seen that the person who really brings bad luck is An Yueli! ”
An Guogong thought so, "You're right, she's a married girl, and she really shouldn't live in her mother's house all the time." used to take care of Qinglan, but now that Qinglan is well, she should go back. ”
"What about our softness? When is the master going to take her home? ”
An Guogong looked at his appearance in the mirror happily, and said perfunctorily: "Soon, when I finish my errand, the emperor will allow me to join the Ministry of Industry." When the time comes, it will be more beautiful to bring Yurou back. ”
Now the Yue clan doesn't want to take advantage of his scenery at all, he just wants to get his daughter back as soon as possible. But in the face of the high-spirited An Guogong, she still had the patience to bargain.
"It's okay, the concubine will send a message to Zhuangzi first, and let Yurou go to the temple to incense the Bodhisattva for the master before going home. First, I am grateful to the Bodhisattva for clearing the turbidity in the house, and secondly, I want the Bodhisattva to bless the old man with a smooth career. ”
An Guogong went out in a panic, and Yue's words were left ear in and right ear out.
"Okay, okay, you can arrange it."
By the time he arrived at the inn where the rumored mapper was staying, there were already a lot of people surrounded by three floors inside and three layers outside.
When these people heard that the surveyor had a whole map of the country in their hands, they all came curiously to join in the fun. Among them, there are naturally some truly knowledgeable people, as well as other officials who rushed to grab credit when they heard the news.
As soon as An Guogong saw this battle, his face turned pale with fright, for fear that someone would rush to meet the surveyor before him.
"Let one, let one! I am the Duke of An Guo, and I have been ordered by the emperor to welcome the surveyors back to Beijing. Idlers should quickly retreat at a faster pace and must not be obstructed! ”
Under his shouting and threat, the crowd finally reluctantly retreated a slit.
finally squeezed into the inn, the hairstyle that had been carefully cleaned up was messed up, and the clothes were like pickles.
An Guogong hummed and climbed up to the second floor, and once again tidied up his clothes before knocking on the door nervously.
"Dare to ask Mr. Ren, the surveyor in the house? In Xia An Guogong, he was ordered by the emperor to welcome Mr. into the palace. ”
The voice fell, but there was no response from inside the house.
An Guogong was puzzled and knocked again.
"Dare to ask the surveyor in the house......"
Before he could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened from the inside. I saw Jiang Zhan walking out with an impatient face and looking at An Guogong from head to toe.
"You are An Guogong?"
"Exactly."
An Guogong was about to open his mouth with a smile on his face, but the door slammed shut. He didn't seem to expect the other party to react like this, and was directly dumbfounded.
"Ren, Mr. Ren? The emperor asked me to take you into the palace. ”
"Don't go!" Jiang Zhan's displeased voice came from the room.
An Guogong, who was rejected, was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the whole person visibly panicked. He thought that he had not made it clear, so he had to repeat it again.
"Mr. Ren, it was the emperor who invited you into the palace."
"I won't go!"
“!!!”
An Guogong's face was full of incredulity, and he even thought that there was something wrong with his ears for a while. The whole country, there are people who dare to refuse the emperor's summons, is this a headless?
An Guogong was stunned for a long time and knocked on the door again.
Bang ——!
A book slammed against the door with a grumpy thud, and he took two steps back.
Jiang Zhan threatened, "If you come to disturb me again, I will leave the capital directly!" ”
As soon as these words came out, An Guogong's hair exploded. He finally found the person, how could he let the other party leave.
If he is gone, the emperor will not be able to get the map, and he will not have to screw his head off.
An Guogong was panicked, and he didn't dare to knock on the door again, so he could only find the shopkeeper of the inn tremblingly.
"Quick, clean up the room next to the mapper."
He was about to take out the money as he instructed, but the shopkeeper spoke slowly.
"I'm really sorry for this guest officer, the rooms in the small shop are fully booked."
An Guogong took the money for a moment, "Fully booked?" Not a single one left? ”
"Yes, there's not a single one left."
"Whoever lives in the room next to the surveyor, I'll pay double the money for him to move out."
"Ten times won't do."
The shopkeeper shook his head firmly, and explained by pointing to the rooms on the two floors of the inn.
"As soon as the news of the mapper's stay broke, a group of people rushed in and grabbed the room."
"Who, who is so bold?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said nothing, "In short, there are no extra guest rooms, but the firewood room is still empty." If you want to stay, the villain can also clean up for you. ”
"Firewood room?" An Guogong glared at the other party angrily, "Presumptuous! I'm a dignified Duke of Anguo, you actually let me sleep in the firewood room? ”
The shopkeeper was not afraid when he knew his identity, but shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Then it can't be helped. Either Grandpa Guo will go back and wait first, and once the inn has a vacant room, the villain will send someone to inform you. ”
An Guogong looked back at the closed door on the second floor, and looked at the remaining guest rooms unwillingly, and finally flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
After running empty, his morale was greatly damaged. When the carriage arrived at the Guogong Mansion, it was frightened by a series of deafening firecrackers.
"What's that!?"
The smoke and dust choked on people's coughs.
Yue Shi led a group of subordinates out of the main gate, all dressed happily.
"Congratulations to the lord for living up to his grace and successfully finding the surveyor. I wish the lord a bright future and a prosperous future! ”
Hearing her words, An Guogong's already ugly face instantly turned black at the bottom of the pot. He walked through the smoky firecracker debris and pointed directly at Yue's front door.
"Idiot, who told you to do this!?"
Yue's heart pounded, and a smile froze on his face.
"Old, sir?"
An Guogong reprimanded angrily: "Hurry up and collect these things for me!" ”
Seeing that he was angry and complaining, the subordinates didn't dare to come out, and quickly put away the unlit firecrackers.
Yue Shi caught up with An Guogong's pace with a miserable white face and asked cautiously.
"The lord has already found the whereabouts of the surveyor, why be angry? Is the news fake? ”
"The news is true, but the surveyor did not agree to enter the palace with me."
"Why is that?"
"How do I know!?" An Guogong complained impatiently, "This Ren Feng is really bold, and he even dares to disobey the emperor's will." ”
Although the Yue clan didn't know the details, he didn't dare to provoke the other party anymore, so he could only echo in a small voice.
"The lord said very much, this kind of person is unruly, maybe he will only anger the emperor if he enters the palace. The lord might as well tell the emperor truthfully, so as not to get into trouble. ”
An Guogong thought about it, but he was reluctant to take this credit.
What the emperor wants is a map of the country, and if he can't bring the people and the map to the emperor at the same time, it won't be considered as a complete task.
In order to get a position in the Ministry of Works, he had to find a way to get the surveyors out.
