Chapter 4 Transfer to Chang'an
Shen Jiyue escaped death from that political turmoil, and since then she has been hoping that the world will forget her existence, so that she can live in peace, so she took the initiative to put away her ears, she doesn't like to hear things outside the window, she doesn't like to hear people's rights and wrongs, and she naturally doesn't know much about national affairs, so she doesn't know that Sima Xunian is normal.
But others are not, especially the head of the teaching workshop, how can the leader of this kind of dragon and snake mixed land not know the military wizard Sima Xunian! With 3,000 enemies and 50,000 enemies, this person insisted on holding the elite of Yidi in the northwest for a month, winning the fighter plane for the main force of our army's counterattack, and then led 50,000 elite cavalry to smash the enemy Huanglong, expelled Yidi from the Western Regions thousands of miles away, completely defeated its living forces, and ensured that our border returned to peace.
The battle on the border made Sima Xunian famous all over the world, and then, his other achievements in the army were also dug up and widely sung, and he has become the most dazzling star in the Taiping era.
The head of the sect was already stunned, she couldn't connect Shen Jiyue and Sima Xunian at all, one of them was a famous general of the dynasty, and the other was an orphan daughter of a criminal minister, how could there be a connection?! Of course, there are also many people in this world who specialize in hunting beauty, and they search for beautiful women all over the world, but Sima Xunian is not like this kind of person.
"Madam", Sima Xunian was already a little impatient, he was not a patient and good-natured person, "Is it a rare thing for a prodigal son who is looking for flowers and willows to buy a woman who sells her arts?" He took out a document and continued, "I have already completed the transfer paperwork, and there are seals of Yingchuan County Shou and Chang'an Mansion Yin on it, and I will pick up people tomorrow." Trouble Mrs. Haosheng to help Miss Shen clean up, don't leave anything behind. ”
The head of the sect read the documents and said, "General Sima, let me return to the county guard, and then I can send Ji Yue on a trip." ”
"Okay, let's take my leave."
Shen Jiyue is in the room.
"What? He's going to take me away?! When Shen Jiyue heard that the master said that Sima Xunian had already completed the paperwork to take her away, she was taken aback, and her face was full of disbelief.
"Ji Yue. You really don't know him? Never even seen it? The master asked.
"I'm very sure that the people of the Sima family are all kings and grandsons, if I have seen it, even if I have heard this name, I will never have any impression."
"What about your father, has he intersected with their family?"
"My father usually interacts with some ordinary subordinates, and he hardly interacts with the emperor's relatives, and it is unlikely that he will have an intersection with him."
"That's weird, isn't it really as he said, just want you? However, you have been living behind the scenes, and you rarely even show your face, how does he know about you, not to mention that you are in Yingchuan, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an Mansion, and he has been fighting in Bingzhou and Liangzhou for many years, not to mention for several years, it is impossible to have an intersection. But ......"
"Madame, but what?"
"However, there are indeed many wealthy families in this world, hunting for beauty everywhere, and they do not spare a lot of money for this. If there is a buy, there is a sale, and the host and guest department of the Ministry of Rites will also sell the information of the musicians to these people, so it is always difficult to hide the pearls......"
The more Shen Jiyue listened to the analysis of the master, the more chaotic her heart became.
Her life is already catkins in the wind and duckweed in the water, is this time another tearing accident? She moved her eyes out the window, only to see a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the surrounding stars shining, it was really clear and peaceful.
Her heart suddenly calmed down.
"Madam, if Ji Yue hadn't been taken care of by Lord Song and you, I'm afraid that she would have died in a foreign country by now, and her body would have been shrouded in straw mats. The stable years of these years can be regarded as a gift from God, and I shouldn't have been. ”
"Ji Yue, don't say that......"
"Madame," she continued, "we can't help if we think too much, and we can only see one step at a time. However, you must not tell Lord Song about me, he was implicated in my father's case and has been degraded to Jiangxia, if I am used as a handle by someone with a heart because of my reinvention of the incident, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. If you have a case, I will be truly responsible. ”
Shen Jiyue stood up, walked to the window, and said faintly, "It doesn't matter who he is or what he wants to do to me, I have fallen into the dust, and my innocence is difficult to protect, so who is it not ...... for", she paused and continued, "I just hope that one day, I can regain the news of my father and brother, and if I can learn that they are safe, I will have nothing to worry about......"
"Ji Yue...... Don't worry, once I hear their news, I will definitely convey it to you in time. The head of the Chang'an Mansion Teaching Workshop Division is the same group of sisters who have not entered the music as me, and we also have some personal friendships in the past few days, I will repair a book tomorrow and ask her to take good care of you, but Chang'an Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven after all, the personnel are complicated, and the people and horses of all parties are intertwined, and she may not do much. Usually I tell everyone, you have also heard, but today I officially tell you again, after entering the door of prostitution, no matter how difficult it is to turn over, all you can rely on is yourself, all you can do is to be patient, guard against arrogance and rashness when you are favored, and stop anger and jealousy when you fall out of favor", the head of the sect walked to Shen Jiyue's side as he spoke, took her hand, shook it hard, and said, "We people, in their eyes, are just ants, whether they are dead or alive, no one cares, you remember!" ”
Shen Jiyue nodded, no matter how strong she was, her eyes were wet after all, and the moment she lowered her eyes, tears slipped down. The evening breeze blew a few strands of hair scattered on her forehead, and she brushed them and wiped away the tears, leaving only a pair of misty starry eyes, which seemed to reflect the stars.
Tonight, destined to be sleepless.
Yi'er is not a musician, she is the personal servant of the master, since Shen Jiyue came here, she was sent to serve in front of her, and now that Shen Jiyue is leaving, the master simply gave up Yi'er and her, so that there is a familiar person to take care of it.
Yi'er is fifteen years old, her face is full of immaturity, and she is still a little girl who has not grown up. Shen Jiyue is only three or four years older than her, but the great changes in her family, the separation of her relatives, and the bitterness of falling into prostitution have already made her mature and deep that does not belong to this age......
When she was a child, her father was an official in Yangzhou. Her mother died of illness when she was still an infant, and her father did not continue to take a concubine, taking only one concubine to take care of the family's affairs, and the other to take care of her and her brother's life. Erniang later gave birth to a child, but died before the age of one, the doctor said that it was congenital insufficiency, since then Erniang has not given birth, she and her brother as their own, her pipa, that is, taught by Erniang, it is ridiculous, the pipa that passed the time in the boudoir at the beginning, now it has become her craft to make a living.
When she became sensible, she knew that Erniang was the musician of the Yangzhou Teaching Workshop, and it was said that she was brilliant and beautiful, and she played the pipa well, and she was the first few Oiran in the teaching workshop. Her father met her at a party, and later used his connections to let her enter the list of happy people who were gifted by the imperial court to leave her country and return to her hometown, return to her civilian status, and marry into the house.
There is no redemption mechanism for the musicians and slaves of the official family, and they can only get out of the country through the grace policy at the end of each year, but there are many monks and few porridges, not everyone can become the lucky one who is denaturalized, most of them are in the old age, and together with their children, they must follow their own nationality and become prostitutes or slaves, and there are very few who can be appreciated by the county guard, become the head of the school, and get rid of the music and enter the officials, but they are still trapped in the dust for life. 's father has always been an upright official, and letting Erniang get out of the country is probably the only time in his life that he has shown favoritism.
Early the next morning, the Department of Education returned to its usual calm. The places where prostitutes go out by day and at night.
Early in the morning, the head of the sect wanted to leave to see the county guard, to verify the transfer of documents, and by the way to see if there was any room for maneuver. Unexpectedly, before she could go out, the county guard sent a subordinate officer over, and when she heard the rumor, she hurriedly sorted out her outfits, went out to greet her, and found that it was the county Cheng. The organization of the establishment of officials is not in the stream, and it can be governed by the small subordinate officials of the nine grades, but after all, the Jiaofang Department has a special status, which is not only an important source of local small treasury, but also hides dirt and dirt, and has mastered the private morality of many officials, so it is directly governed by the county guard, and is actually managed by the county in peacetime.
"Shao Wu has seen Lord Juncheng", the head of the sect came forward to salute.
"Get up and take your seats."
"Master Xie."
Both sides took their seats.
"Madame, you should already know what I am doing here. General Sima had arrived at the post station yesterday morning to collect Shen Jiyue's matter, and Lord Taishou had received his letter half a month ago, and the post station staff had also sent the documents for moving into Chang'an Mansion. It's just that he instructed in the letter that this person should be collected by him personally, and no news should be leaked beforehand, so it is inconvenient for us to tell him. ”
"Yes, the slave family will do it," the master then asked, "But the slave family has something to ask, I don't know if Lord Juncheng can tell me one or two." ”
"If you don't say it, I know what you want to ask, it's just whether there is room for manoeuvre, or why you took this woman and so on. But no matter what it is, I don't know anything, but I don't know, Lord Taishou may not know, I only know that General Sima is going to condemn this woman, then again, why do you treat this woman differently? ”
The head of the sect knew that it was useless to talk about it, and the story behind Ji Yue was even worse, so he smiled, "Ouch, where is there anything different, I just see that she is well-behaved and cute, and she will be considerate, thinking that it is better to recognize a goddaughter, and there will be someone who will ask if she is warm when she is old in the future." ”
"Hehe, you don't have enough goddaughters? Which of these priests is not your daughter? "Jun Cheng is starting to be unserious.
"Ahem, look at what you said, my lord. Would you come over this morning, have a cup of tea and a snack before leaving? The head teacher quickly diverted the topic.
"No, this official still has something to deal with. Shen Jiyue's matter, hurry up and get ready, General Sima should come to ask for someone in the afternoon", after speaking, he got up to leave.
"Yes, the slave family sends off the lord."
After sending the county away, the head of the sect knew that everything was settled. went to Shen Jiyue's room, pushed open the door, and saw that the luggage was basically packed, and Yi'er was sorting out some bits and pieces. There wasn't much to pack, just a box of daily things, a box of books, and the pipa she always carried. She was packing up some old letters on the table, and she didn't know whether to throw them away or keep them.
The master walked over and asked, "This is ......?"
Seeing the master coming over, she casually put the letter into a stack of books, instructed Yi'er to put it in the box, and said slightly, "Madam, you are here, there is a final ending." ”
