The 331st Round of Cheng Guogong
Zhu Chunchen walked on the road to Jinzhou City in a sedan chair.
Mighty processions lined up on the wide avenues, and brightly dressed retinues carried all sorts of objects and walked with difficulty against the fiery red sun.
As one of the descendants of the heroes of Jingnan, Zhu Chunchen is no different from other court nobles, he has lived a life of brocade clothes and jade food since he was a child, and it can be said that he has reached out and opened his mouth with food.
The only difference is that he has the opportunity to travel.
Zhu Chunchen won the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and was often sent by the emperor to Beijing to inspect on behalf of the emperor.
Relying on the emperor's trust and the special position of his position, Zhu Chunchen asked the magistrate for money and goods, and got a lot.
Of course, the emperor would not have sent him a dangerous errand.
For example, this time as a marriage envoy to Jinzhou Town, the trivial matter of informing Yang Cheng of the wedding date was sent to him.
I had heard that Yang Chengying was arrogant and unrestrained, but Zhu Chunchen didn't believe it. The whole world is not the king's land, who dares to really be an enemy of the court. It's completely useless for Ji Yong and others, so they will be controlled everywhere.
The weather was unusually hot, and Zhu Chunchen was in a bumpy sedan chair, so hot that he sat with a sore back.
He shook his fan and anxiously asked his entourage: "Mingyan, haven't you arrived yet?" ”
"Master, it's almost there."
The little guy named Mingyan looked respectful and nodded: "When it's time, the servant will bring you the iced watermelon." ”
As soon as he heard the chilled watermelon, Zhu Chunchen suddenly drooled and urged: "Don't wait for Jinzhou City, cut a watermelon for me now." ”
Ming Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Master, Jinzhou City is almost here, and General Yang is waiting at the gate." ”
"Let him wait, Ye is hot to death, quickly cut the watermelon."
When he was in the capital, who saw that Zhu Chunchen was not respectful, he didn't take the small general soldier in his eyes at all.
The master had spoken, and Ming Yan dared to disobey, so he had to stop the team.
Then, he ran to the palanquin carrying the watermelon and asked the palanquin driver to put it down.
That's right, the watermelon is carried in a sedan chair.
But instead of just carrying it, it was packed with watermelons in a box with ice in it.
The sedan chair drivers are actually carrying boxes.
The reason why the sedan chair is used is not to let the sun shine directly on the box, and the ice in the box is sunburned.
In reality, it was futile.
When Ming Yan opened the box, he found that the ice had melted, and water flowed out of the cracks in the box and dripped on the ground.
He didn't dare to tell the truth to his master, so he cut the watermelon with a knife and gave it to Zhu Chunchen.
Zhu Chunchen took a bite and spit it out: "Phew! Is this a watermelon? It's almost time to stir-fry. "Anyway, raise your leg and give Ming Yan a kick.
Ming Yan rolled on the ground, got up and complained: "It's no wonder that the slaves, it's all those sedan chair drivers, who lifted the sedan chair upside down, and the ice in the box was shattered and turned into water." ”
This kind of fallacy is purely made up by Ming Yan in order to shirk responsibility, and ordinary people will not believe it at all.
Zhu Chunchen was not an ordinary person, and said angrily: "Go, give me a beating of those palanquins." ”
"Yes, the minion will go." Ming Yan rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the palanquin men viciously.
Beat the palanquin man and roll all over the ground.
In this way, the march of the team was delayed.
Yang Chengying heard the report for the first time and knew that Zhu Chunchen was about to arrive, so he hurriedly asked his generals to prepare for it.
However, after waiting for half an hour, there was still no one.
Then send someone to investigate, and the spy returns, and the marriage envoy calls someone to play the sedan chair man.
"It's rude, in order to beat a few sedan chair drivers, let us all bask in the sun here."
Behind Yang Chengying, Wu Sangui said angrily.
"The family is a hereditary duke, and the ancestor is a martyr, so he naturally looks down on us old Qiuba."
Shen Zhixiang was also dissatisfied, and the yin and yang were weird.
Ning Wan said: "I'm afraid this is deliberately giving us a dismount and paving the way for the next thing." ”
"What's the reasoning?" Wu Sangui asked.
"It's like the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Li Dynasty, which one of them does not extort money from the Li Dynasty."
Ning Wan explained: "The marriage envoy carries the marriage edict, and the holy family is long, which is not so easy to send. ”
The celebrities around the emperor, regardless of their grade, are not easy to dismiss.
Anyone who has watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding" knows that Wei Xiaobao, an emperor's personal eunuch, can fish in troubled waters and make money in his pocket when he raids the Aobai Mansion.
"It seems that it is another trouble."
As soon as Yang Chengying thought of these nonsense things, he was angry.
There is a great drought in eastern Liaodong, and all parts of Jinzhou Town are fighting drought and ensuring production, which is the time when Yang Chengying is needed.
At this time, the emperor saw that the princess's mansion had been completed, and according to the wedding procedures, he came step by step.
Yang Chengying was forced to put down what he was doing and deal with this special marriage.
Now that there is such a court noble, I am afraid that such a thing as breaking the wealth and avoiding disasters is inevitable.
Give money? No way!
There is no money, and there is no life.
Thinking of this, Yang Chengying turned his head and glanced at Ning Wan.
Dealing with this kind of thing, I have a lot of experience.
"This matter can't be solved without 350,000 taels of silver."
Ning Wan said in a low voice: "Dashuai, you can do it yourself." ”
"What a nuisance!"
Yang Chengying couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
When is it, and I'm still thinking about looting the money of the people below.
With so much money, you can't eat or wear. Especially in a year of great calamity, food is important.
"20,000 taels at most, not more!"
Yang Chengying sighed, just thinking about sending this plague god away quickly.
However, he still underestimated the extent of Zhu Chunchen's "work".
They waited at the west gate all morning, and when it was almost noon, they saw a long procession coming from afar, escorted by the brocade guards.
"It's finally here."
Yang Chengying woke up the dozing generals and tidied up their clothes to meet them.
Zhu Chunchen, who was sitting in the sedan chair, saw Yang Chengying and asked the sedan chair man to put the sedan chair down, but he did not get off the sedan chair.
The servant lifted the curtain of the car.
Zhu Chunchen sat upright and said with a smile: "I have heard the prestige of General Yang for a long time, but now I see it, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”
From Zhu Chunchen's point of view, he is a minister of the court with the imperial order, and the other party is just a town commander, so naturally he doesn't need to get off the sedan chair.
Greeting people didn't get out of the sedan chair, which made Yang Chengying's generals very dissatisfied.
Yang Cheng used his eyes to signal them not to make trouble, and said to Zhu Chunchen with a smile: "It's just a small name, and it is only when Grandpa Zhu cares about it that it is a blessing for three lives."
Grandpa Zhu has worked hard all the way, I must have been hungry for a long time, I prepared a glass of thin wine in the restaurant in the city, and washed the dust for Grandpa Zhu, and I hope that Grandpa Zhu will not dislike it. ”
"Thank you General Yang, since this is the case, I will go into the city to talk."
After that, Zhu Chunchen glanced at Ming Yan.
Mingyan put down the sedan curtain.
The team continued to sound the gong and open the way, and entered the Golden State City in a mighty way.
"Huh! This grandfather is such a big showman. Wu Sangui snorted coldly.
Shen Zhixiang sneered: "Father-in-law Ji and Master Huo still have cards." ”
Yang Chengying was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, but the hero didn't suffer the loss in front of him, and waited until things were more outrageous.
After all, he is a close minister of the emperor, and if he can, he must not be offended.
The disaster is so serious, it is a little bit to be able to get a little from the imperial court.
What's more, the princess's manor is also a big income.
For the sake of this income, I endure!
