Before the first lunar month, Yuan Rui, who was doing nothing, received a notice that King Huai let him return to the capital to supervise the armament.

Yuan Rui was stunned, seeing that the thorn army was about to go south, the entire border army saw the tense atmosphere of approaching the enemy, and was seizing all the time to train.

However, the soldiers who gave the order did not give themselves a chance at all, and told Yuan Rui that King Huai had said that the military affairs were urgent and could not be delayed a little, and Yuan Rui did not need to resign and set off immediately.

Yuan Rui had no choice but to simply pack up and set off with the fifty guards and soldiers. Yuan Rui sat in the carriage and couldn't figure out why King Huai wanted to let him leave at this time.

The saint looked at the private music in his hand and sighed.

"Are you wrong to say that I shouldn't have let King Huai go out to join the army so early, at that time, several important ministers in the court had been worried that his position was embarrassing, and it would hinder his lineage, and he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the Shaoning period, but where are there so many coincidences!"

In the main hall, only the old eunuch stood there alone, without a trace of expression on his face.

"I'm surprised that this kid has made another meritorious service, where did his weird ideas come from."

"Shouldn't you continue to stay in Longzhou, there is no war yet, there should be some things that can be planned, send it back at this time, what do you think?"

The saint looked at the music and muttered to himself.

"You said that at this time, what is the border army lacking the most, and you still need to find someone to come back to urge!"

The old eunuch pondered for a moment, "It is said that Chen Guogong's escort of materials should have arrived, and the border army will not lack anything." ”

"King Huai also suggested that this kid don't have to rush back too early, and he can be given a little position related to the Ministry of Industry, so that he can think about it and improve some of the current armaments."

The old eunuch suddenly remembered a thought in his mind at this time, and interjected.

"Shengshang, seeing that the big war is about to start, is it that King Huai cherishes talents and doesn't want Yuan Xianggong to take risks at the border."

"Yes, yes, you old man is right, it should be like this, it seems that this kid has fallen into Hong'er's eyes!"

Saint patted the arm of the chair. It's true, seeing that the border pass battle is about to start, King Huai doesn't want this kid to stay there and take risks.

"Then as he wishes, let this kid go to the Ministry of Industry, this time he went to Longzhou to do a good job, you can raise the level first, do a job." I'd like to see how this little monkey can toss, alas, I hope it's not too late! ”

"Holy Lord, the old slave heard that Yuan Xianggong's medical skills are also exquisite, otherwise, let him enter the palace!"

"You're talking about the stubborn illness of the Duchess of the Kingdom, I also asked, not only his credit, but also the prescription of the old monk of Qiuxue Temple, besides, my disease is an old root, almost twenty years, it's difficult!"

"Forget it, this kid is going to take the right path of the imperial examination in the future, and it is not appropriate to go to the Ministry of Industry, he can't do anything in the short term, and he will mess up the Ministry of Industry, and now he will focus on Longzhou first. This kid is good at doing business, let him go to Songjiang, hang it in the general's mansion, and give a soldier from the seventh grade, armament, and soldier can do it. ”

Suddenly laughed, "I don't know if this kid will be too small and can't do anything." ”

"Shengshang, ordinary people want to be upgraded to the next level, where can they be without three or five years of precipitation, this Yuan Xianggong has received the grace of the saint, and he has gone from eight to seven in half a year, even if it is a genuine jinshi, what is there to be dissatisfied."

"You, how do you know, some people don't look down on being officials!"

When Yuan Rui entered Beijing, he first went to the Ministry of Officials to make a mission, this is the rule, and his real belonging now is actually an experience in the Ministry of Officials. It was sent to Longzhou to undertake logistics and military affairs with the general of Xiecong.

Not long after he arrived at the Ministry of Officials, one of the examiners who received him had just said a few words at first, and he was called out by a small official, and Zuo Shilang asked him to go on official business.

In just half an hour, this Lang Zhong came back in a hurry and took him to the Election Division.

Looking at the official documents in his hand, Yuan Rui was even more confused, didn't he come back to supervise the military funds, why did he re-serve again?

Back at the residence, Yuan Rui found that he should go directly to the inn, the whole house was deserted, and even the quilt in the bedroom felt a little damp and musty.

Yuan Rui is a lazy person again, he used to be served by Xiaohe, where did he want to do this, he simply turned around and went out directly to find an inn nearby.

He thought, at most, it will be tonight, tomorrow directly back to Yangzhou Tonghai, and then from Tonghai to Songjiang, anyway, the document said that he should arrive within ten days.

He hadn't come out of the mansion for a long time, when a few people shouted and chased after him. Yuan Rui turned his head to see that Xu Guangjun hurriedly chased after him from behind with a few people.

"I just heard that you are back, and without any delay, I came directly to you, and you still have to leave."

"I didn't leave, I was going to find an inn to live in, and the bed cover in the room was moldy."

Yuan Rui was embarrassed to say that he was lazy, so he could only say that he couldn't live at home.

Xu Guangjun didn't suspect that these people lived very little at home, and they were used to wandering outside, so where to care about the miscellaneous things in these houses.

"Let's go, let's go to Suzaku Street, where is there a place to satisfy you."

Yuan Rui thought that there was really no place to go now, so he followed Xu Guangjun and the others by car.

On the way, Xu Guangjun briefly introduced the two companions around him.

One is Zhao Qingping, the third son of Zhao Yuanfang, the king of Xiangcheng County, and the other is Liu Long, the second son of Weiyuan Houfu.

Listening to Xu Guangjun's introduction, Yuan Rui knew that this was his sworn friend, and there must be something wrong with pulling these two to see him.

"Brother, there is one more person waiting for a while, who has already gone directly to the restaurant, what about a few of us, we only do business in the capital, no matter other things, this time I came to discuss business with you." Xu Guangjun got straight to the point.

The road was a little far, and a few people sat in the carriage chatting, it seemed that a few people were still more concerned about the border army, and kept asking about the current situation, Yuan Rui did not hide it, and told in detail about some of the preparations he had seen.

Tell me a little bit about it, and the carriage arrived in front of a very spacious gatehouse. Looking at the four brilliant typings upstairs, Jinling Restaurant, Yuan Rui almost stumbled, are you kidding! Jinling Restaurant, why not call Jinling Hotel.

At this time, a person at the door of the restaurant saw that several people had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward, and the first person to greet him was Yuan Rui.

"Yuan Gongzi, I've been listening to Guangjun say that you have to teach us well today," and then gave a salute.

Yuan Rui hurriedly returned the salute, saying that he didn't dare. Yuan Rui saw that this person was also in his twenties, not wearing luxury, wearing a green shirt, a simple scarf on his head, and a pair of bright eyes that were shrewd.

is very handsome, not as impetuous and decadent as the average son, and he faintly sees arrogance on his face, but he reveals sincerity to Yuan Rui.

"Looking at Yuan Gongzi, and thinking back to what Guangjun said, I feel as if I've known you for a long time, don't you say it's strange!"

"This is Hu Honghai, the eldest grandson of the Xia Kingdom, the oldest of our brothers."

"Boss, don't say it, how do I feel that Yuan Gongzi is a bit similar to you, I didn't think that you guys standing together have such a feeling."

Several people looked at the two of them standing together, looked carefully, and really found out.

The two are about the same size and wear similar outfits, and they found out when they fought side by side. The face shape is about the same, especially the eyes and nose, almost like a mold coming out.

Yuan Rui was also strange in his heart, looking at Hu Honghai just now, he felt a little familiar, he didn't expect this, he thought it was just looking at this person so cool, but he was seen by a few people on the side.

"Hahaha, it seems that the brothers are destined, come and come, go in and talk in detail."

Xu Guangjun doesn't care about these, these two are both shrewd characters, it's normal to look a little similar, it's okay to make a joke, you can't delve into it, and there are still a lot of serious things to talk about.

After chatting, I realized that the origin of today's incident was proposed by Zhao Qingping, and two days ago at home, he occasionally heard his father talk about the border army, so he eavesdropped a few words on the side.

When Yuan Rui came back, the saint not only praised but also gave him a new place to go, and Zhao Qingping felt that there was a chance when he heard it.

Yuan Rui's matter, he has heard Xu Guangjun talk about it a few times during this time, and he also promised them that they would have the opportunity to recommend him. Yuan Rui went to Songjiang this time to be responsible for some business matters, in a place like Songjiang, it is very impressive to find anything to do!

Yuan Rui finally refused Xu Guangjun's retention and stayed in that restaurant, but Yuan Rui was not too willing.

At first glance, those young masters are often used to living outside, which is also the privilege of men in this era, but he is still not used to it.

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei

Wei Guogong didn't come back until after dark, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he asked Steward Xu on the side.

"What about the second child, is it going out again, I am out like this every day, I don't know whether to do business or fool around."

"Master, today I heard that Yuan Xianggong is back, and the second young master and a few young masters went to discuss things with him."

"Oh, that's good, is this kid really in love with that kid!"

When Steward Xu heard this, he was a little confused, what did the master say, which kid?

"You go to the backyard to see if Miss is resting, if not, let her see me in the study."

During the Chinese New Year, Miss Xu brought her mother back and lived in the house, but mostly in the backyard.

Before Wei Guogong went out today, he deliberately went to the backyard to sit with his wife for a long time, and this time was late, so he was afraid of disturbing his wife.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and his daughter pushed the door in.

gave a salute, "Daddy didn't come back so late, he should rest, can't he talk about it tomorrow?" "Miss Xu didn't give Wei Guogong any face, and she opened her mouth to question.

"It's not too late, mainly because there is something I want to ask you today," his daughter's temper was incapacitated, and Wei Guogong could only laugh with him.

"What else can make my father so anxious, could it be that there is something wrong with the border army!"

"No, no, but it is related to the border army, King Huai sent Yuan Rui back, you should have heard of it, but early this morning, the Holy Decree appointed Yuan Rui as the envoy of the General Huai Wang's Mansion and went to Songjiang to reorganize the armament."

"Didn't Yuan Rui return to Beijing say that he would supervise the military resources of the border army, why did the saint intervene?"

Miss Xu was also stunned when she heard this, "Yuan Rui is a small person, which is unreasonable!" ”

Suddenly, the two forgot to look at each other, as if they remembered something, and they were surprised!!
