Chapter 147: Leaving Beijing
At night, the Kyoto Prefecture Lord's Mansion.
The atmosphere in the mansion is also quite depressing, although Xiao Wenjun is strict, but he treats his own people very well. It is because everyone is full of sorrow, but they also keep their duties and do not give birth to chaos.
When Wang Jiuyuan came in with Ming Xiu over the wall, there was no one in the backyard, only the lights were on in the main house, and the two of them walked towards the main house and knocked on the door.
In the house, spring, summer, autumn and winter are red-eyed, packing some bags for Xiao Wenjun, the two little girls are sad for their masters, their own county lord has done so many things for the royal family, there are not many rewards, and without saying a word, His Majesty turned his face and was ruthless.
I don't know how much hardship the county lord has suffered along the way. The little girls chattered while grabbing things and stuffing them into their baggage, and after a while, they had sorted out seven or eight bags of all sizes, and there was a tendency to continue to increase.
Xiao Wenjun, who was rushed to the side, looked at it with embarrassment, knowing that they were uncomfortable, and they tossed it, until Chunxia took out a set of tea sets, and Xiao Wenjun hurriedly stopped them.
"I'm going to flee, not to go on an outing, what are I doing with a tea cup?"
"County Lord, you can bring the wine jar, why can't the tea cup? Aren't they all drunk? Chun Xia retorted unconvinced.
"This ...... This teacup is easy to break, and it is inconvenient for me to take it. Xiao Wenjun touched his nose and said weakly.
"Isn't the jar easy to break? Besides, there is a carriage, and it is not for the county lord to carry it. I don't know how hard the road is, and the slave can't serve by your side, I just want you to have a good sip of hot tea......" As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.
Xiao Wenjun held his forehead, why did he cry again?
Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Wenjun stood up and opened the door with a pout.
The people in the room turned their heads and saw the master and servant standing at the door. The two little girls stopped crying, put down the work in their hands, and stared at Wang Jiuyuan and the two viciously.
Wang Jiuyuan was looked at inexplicably, but Ming Xiu beside him was frowning and staring at Xiao Wenjun, the hostility on his face was very obvious.
The two main owners glanced at each other, and they both saw the stunned in each other's eyes, these people have eaten gunpowder, which one is crazy?
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Wenjun asked suspiciously.
"County lord, don't you say that the slaves and maids also know that for the sake of the prince, you will be reprimanded by Your Majesty and rushed back to Lanling. There are homeless people everywhere along the way, and the weather is so bad, you may have to endure a lot of hardship. Qiu Dong said hatefully.
Spring and summer rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to beat Ming Xiu.
"Who told you it was because of the Nine Abyss?" Xiao Wenjun asked helplessly.
"The bold courtship of the prince of Shangyuan Festival to you has long caused a sensation in the city. It has been spread all over Kyoto, and it is precisely because you want Your Majesty's marriage that you will anger Your Majesty, so you have to leave Beijing. ”
"Hey! This matter has nothing to do with Jiuyuan, it was all my idea, and you blame him wrong. ”
"Did you hear that, it was your master who caused my master, but he kicked us in the face first!" Ming Xiu had long wanted to open his mouth to argue a few words, and he rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to fight.
"Shut up! The master doesn't have these thoughts, why are you still in a hurry first? I know the county lord and stay together, and I have no reason to complain about each other. Wang Jiuyuan made a final decision and no longer argued on this matter.
Before leaving, it is useless for one's own people to make a gap first.
Only then did everyone stop, Chun Xia cleaned up the house briefly, and stood behind Xiao Wenjun after serving tea, with an unconvinced look on his face. Even if there is no suspicion between the masters, they can only sigh, creating and making people, a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.
"Everything? When are you ready to go? Xiao Wenjun asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Wang Jiuyuan pointed to the bag that Xiu was carrying, "Take advantage of the night, the sooner the better." ”
"Is he okay with Old Wangge?" Xiao Wenjun has the most powerful intelligence organization in Daqi, so naturally he received the news that Wang Ge Lao had left Yuwenzhen and asked the emperor to resign.
"My father is a man who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is more open-minded than we imagined." Wang Jiuyuan paused, suddenly carefully took out a pair of jade pendants from his arms, and said with a smile: "And my father admitted our relationship, which he asked me to give you." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wenjun was a little surprised, looking at the pair of dragons and phoenixes in Wang Jiuyuan's palm, the jade quality is clear, and the carving is exquisite, it must have taken a lot of thought to find such a piece of jade and carve a pair.
"This is what my mother left to me and my future daughter-in-law."
"But you just gave me a bracelet, and now you give such a valuable gift, and the significance is still so great, let's leave it there for the time being." Xiao Wenjun had a rare embarrassed expression on his face.
"This trip is dangerous, I'm afraid I can't take care of your thoughtfulness, and I need you to do it yourself. This is my reparation for breaking my word, and it is also my promise to you. Wang Jiuyuan's stubbornness came up again, and he stuffed the jade pendant into her hand with a dead face.
If a gentleman has no reason, if the jade does not go to the body, he will not be disappointed.
Just when Xiao Wenjun was hesitating whether to accept it, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and the faces of the people in the room were solemn, and he said in his heart: Who else will come at this time?
Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Jiuyuan watched with satisfaction as Xiao Wenjun hung the jade pendant around his neck and hid it on his chest.
At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and He Hong led a man shrouded in black robes, and after entering the room, the man lifted his black hat and revealed a familiar face.
It was none other than the emperor's personal eunuch, Gonggong An.
After glancing at the people in the room, Gonggong An walked straight to Xiao Wenjun, leaned into her ear and whispered: "The county lord is tired of retreating, Your Majesty has a secret decree." ”
"It's okay, they're all reliable people." Xiao Wenjun said with a smile.
Despite this, Chun Xia consciously stayed outside the door to prevent people from eavesdropping, but she thought too much, under the iron-fisted management of Xiao Wenjun and He Hong, the county lord's mansion had long been an iron bucket.
Seeing this, Gonggong An was helpless and read out the holy decree written by the emperor himself. The content is the secret conversation between Xiao Wenjun and the emperor that day: Xiao Wenjun was ordered to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and Wang Jiuyuan assisted him on behalf of Gong Weisi, investigated the theft of grain and grass in Jiangnan, and supervised the implementation of the official document on water control.
After reading it out, Gonggong An untied Shang Fang's sword from his back: If I come in person, I have the right to cut the traitor and thief first.
It wasn't until this moment that the awkward subordinates figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and they all looked incredulous, they really misunderstood their master's sweetheart, and they all chose to release their suspicions.
The only difference in performance is He Hong, who has an adventurous spirit, his eyes are scary, his face is full of excitement, eager to try, and he said in his heart: This trip will be very exciting, I missed the autumn last time, and this time I will definitely play well!
Xiao Wenjun and the two accepted the order, and the expression on their faces was still faint.
Gonggong An looked at this pair of young men and women, and felt admiration in his heart, this determination, those old ministers in high positions, may not have it. The woman in front of her is so deep in the city that she can let the emperor accompany her to act, but she has deceived herself!
"The county lord of Lanling and the king know that if there is nothing else, the old slave will retire first." Gonggong An looked at Xiao Wenjun for a long time before he spoke.
"Gonggong An stays, Wen Jun has a reluctant request."
"The county lord, please say, if you can do it, the old slave will definitely not refuse." Gonggong An was happy in his heart, Xiao Wenjun is now deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he is also very open and cheerful, if she can make her owe herself a favor, it would be better.
"After we leave, my father-in-law will take care of my property in Kyoto, and I will thank you again when I return to Beijing!"
"The county lord works hard for state affairs, and the old slave can do his little bit for the county lord, he is already happy, and he doesn't dare to ask for thanks." Father-in-law An hurriedly refused, and his words were very beautiful.
Xiao Wenjun understood and sent Father-in-law An away.
Treasures that are priceless may not be worth more than human favors.
Worthless objects may also be worth more than human favors.
