Orthodox 12, October 31.

After making preparations, the convoy of Xiangwangfu drove out of the palace and rushed out of the city under the escort of a large number of guards.

In addition to the 200 people from the Xiangwang Mansion itself, there were also 200 people who accompanied Zhu Yunsheng, who were led by Gao Hong and Zhang Zhongxiang.

Gao Zhang and the others received this errand because they went to the northwest with Zhu Jinghong, and they fought all the way to protect Zhu Jinghong's thoughtfulness, so that the others in the guard could be convinced.

There are more than 400 guards, who are only responsible for the protection of the inner perimeter, and on the way out of the city, the soldiers and horses of the five cities are indispensable, and they have at least 2,000 men in front and back.

There is no doubt that the Xiangwangfu convoy was cleared again, not only was the long street where it was walking empty, but even the adjacent streets were put under martial law by the soldiers.

People can only stay at home, or in other corners, and wait for the convoy to pass before they can move normally.

In the entire convoy, there were about 20 carriages, of which there were two of the most honorable ones, and Zhu Yunsheng accounted for one of them.

The space in the carriage is very spacious, even if Zhu Yunsheng asks Daiyu Xiangyun to ride together, it will not be crowded at all.

Sitting on the side, the excited Xiangyun lifted the window curtain and wanted to see the outside world.

However, she was very disappointed by the sight she saw, because it was empty outside, and she couldn't see the prosperity and liveliness of the capital at all.

Of course, even this quiet environment was new to Xiangyun, so she still looked at the outside world.

It is human instinct to be curious about new things, so Daiyu also came over to look out, only Zhu Yunsheng was still sitting in place and stretching out his head to look out in order to maintain the princess's appearance.

In the place where she couldn't see, the pedestrians who were confined to the shop inn were also talking in their own voices.

"Ten days ago, His Royal Highness King Xiang returned to Beijing majestic, how long has it been this time...... was squeezed out of the capital, which is too unfair! ”

"Alas...... This is called bad luck, there are many jealous and jealous people in the world, and His Royal Highness King Xiang is still too good and sincere......"

"These traitors and villains will also bully honest people, and they are really hateful......"

Generally speaking, the people in Beijing generally have sympathy and regret for Zhu Jinghong's departure from Beijing.

Let's say that in an attic somewhere outside the street, Jia Baoyu stayed here with a cigarette.

They were wandering the streets, but they were driven away by the soldiers patrolling the streets, so they had no choice but to hide in the attic and wait for the convoy of Xiangwangfu to leave before going down.

They were in a special location, just around the corner of the street, no more than five feet away from the convoy, so they could see the convoy through the window gap.

Coincidentally, when Jia Baoyu was carefully observing, Zhu Yunsheng's carriage also passed in front, allowing him to see Daiyu in the carriage window.

Although she only saw half of her face, Baoyu could be very sure that it was Sister Lin who she thought about day and night.

A lot of news in the capital can't be hidden, so Jia Baoyu knew that the princess would also go out of the city, so he guessed that Daiyu would also go along, so he came to this necessary way, in order to be a little closer to Daiyu.

He didn't expect to see Daiyu at all, even if he only saw half of his face in a hurry at this time, even if Daiyu didn't know about his existence, Jia Baoyu was surrounded by happiness at this time.

Seeing the carriage moving forward, blocked by the window in front of him, Jia Baoyu instinctively wanted to get up and push open the window.

Fortunately, Mingyan's hand was quick, and he immediately got up and stopped him, otherwise he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.

"Second master, you can't be impulsive!" Mingyan persuaded.

Soon Jia Baoyu calmed down, and after figuring out what was going on, he didn't mean to blame Mingyan.

When the two were silent, they listened to Mingyan and said, "Second master, do you want to rest today, let's listen to the music?" ”

After being removed from Jiafu for so long, Jia Baoyu finally recognized the reality, from the beginning of spending a lot of time and drinking, and now he has also begun to study.

He is now white, and he can still make a career through the imperial examination and regain his social status by his own efforts, but this road is extremely difficult.

But for Daiyu, he can endure any hardship, even to become the so-called "Lu beetle".

"Don't go, go home, study!" Jia Baoyu said.

"Yes!" Mingyan has nothing to say.

However, the movement of the two of them was still discovered by the Jinyi guards who were patrolling outside, so the attic door where they were hiding was pushed open.

"Come out!"

The cold voice made Baoyu's heart tense with fright, but he and Mingyan still got up and walked slowly down the stairs.

As soon as he arrived at the staircase, when he saw the outfit of the official below, Jia Baoyu's eyes widened with fright, and his heart hung in his throat.

Jinyiwei, it was Jinyiwei who pushed the door in!

"Get down!" The captain of the team leader had a cold look at him.

And behind this lieutenant is followed by four people, three of whom are dressed in ordinary soldier clothes, who are the helpers of this lieutenant, in short, supernumerary personnel.

And the rest of the person is Ni Er, under the operation of Li Wenzhao, the deputy Qianhu, this guy has obtained the military status of a lieutenant and has become a real brocade guard.

To say that Li Wenzhao is also bright-headed, in order to complete Zhu Jinghong's outrageous request, he can be said to have played a flower with the recognition program.

First of all, Li Wenzhao forged the identity of Ni Er, who is now in his Chinese New Year's Eve in the file, has been a secret pile of Jinyi Wei for more than ten years, and even has made meritorious contributions in capturing the White Lotus bandits.

In addition, he deliberately leaked some clues, so that Ni Er led people to destroy several White Lotus Sect dens, and once again accumulated the military merits needed for him to be conferred.

But this is not the end, Li Wenzhao also asked Ni Er to handle a few private matters for the Zhongshun Palace, and accumulated some capital for him again.

Under this series of operations, Ni Er, who was still white half a month ago, has become a meritorious spy of Jinyiwei, and he is also appreciated by King Zhongshun, so it seems that he deserves to be appointed.

So Li Wenzhao recommended Ni Er as the main post of Jinyi Wei according to the normal procedure.

For the sake of the face of the Zhongshun Palace, the Nancheng Thousand Households Office passed this decision, and then reported it to the Beizhen Fusi.

Adding a small school captain, of course, Beizhen Fusi can't be vetoed, so Ni Er successfully joined Jinyiwei.

And in addition to relying on his own merits, he mainly relied on the relationship between the Zhongshun Palace, which seemed to have nothing to do with the Xiangwang Mansion.

Of course, Ni Er himself knows the twists and turns.

At this time, he also saw Jia Baoyu in the attic, and remembered that this was Jia Yun's uncle.

Jia Baoyu walked down tremblingly, and the captain who led the team took out a whip and was about to hit him, but was stopped by Ni Er.

"Brother Chen, you said that it was a coincidence, this kid is my relative, you raise your hand...... Give him a chance! Ni Er said with a smile.

The reason why he wanted to help Jia Baoyu was by no means because Ni Er's sympathy was overflowing, but because he had heard Jia Yun mention Jia Baoyu, and he expressed deep sympathy for this second uncle in his words.

The lieutenant surnamed Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Since it is your brother, it is also your own person!" ”

Ni Er has a relationship with the Zhongshun Palace, and the captain surnamed Chen doesn't want to offend him, so he changes his style of speech so quickly.

"Thank you!"

After that, Ni Er glared at Baoyu and the others, and scolded: "Don't hurry up and go home, you will know that you are hanging around outside, be careful that I tell your father and break your dog's legs!" ”

"What are you doing? Don't get out of here! ”

Under Ni Er's scolding, Baoyu and the others ran away, while Ni Er beckoned the captain surnamed Chen to go out, talking about where to drink later.

Besides, on the side of the convoy, after being escorted all the way out of the capital, they first walked more than ten miles east along the wide official road, and then walked on a small road.

Of course, the so-called path was not too small in this era, and it was about two feet wide.

Of course, only the wealthy royal family will open up the ordinary road so wide, highlighting a grand style.

It is precisely because of going out of the city that the scenery outside is very different, even a person with a calm heart like Baochai can't help but look out through the small window on the side.

It's early winter now, and the cold wind is howling outside, which makes Baochai shiver.

In the next moment, a warm hand held her, causing her to look back at Zhu Jinghong on the main seat.

"When you get to the place, I'll take you out for a walk, and you can see enough then!"

Hearing this, Baochai replied with a smile: "You still have the heart to travel in the mountains and rivers, it seems that you are really open-minded, I thought you would be unwilling!" ”

"You still don't know me well enough...... So let's dig a little deeper! ”

While speaking, Zhu Jinghong's hand began to be restless again, causing Baochai to say angrily: "There is no proper shape, let me tell you the right thing!" ”

"In-depth communication is also a serious matter!" Zhu Jinghong said seriously.

The two chatted like this, and finally came to their other courtyard, a mansion with five entrances and two cross-courtyards.

Some of the attendants of the Xiangwang Mansion came over yesterday, and they have cleaned up this place after a day and a night, and all the furnishings and utensils have been put in place.

The carriage entered the Hanging Flower Gate, Zhu Jinghong and his wife got out of the carriage, and the others followed.

Seeing that Zhu Yunsheng was going to take Xiangyun around, Baochai reminded: "Third sister, you live in the south courtyard across the courtyard in the east, and you have already cleaned it up for you!" ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, then I'll go over and have a look first!"

After arranging Zhu Yunsheng, Baochai arranged Keqing and others again, and then followed Zhu Jinghong to the depths of the mansion.

There is no doubt that the courtyard in the middle of this mansion belongs to his husband and wife.

Zhu Jinghong stayed here, the servants and maids of the Xiangwang Mansion were busy, and the guards outside the courtyard wall were not idle.

Except for some people guarding the fence of the annex, in order to ensure absolute safety, they have expanded the warning range, and no bystanders will appear within two miles of the courtyard as the center, and the roads within five miles will be blocked.

A radius of five miles may not sound like much, but it is actually a large piece of land.

Although this Huangzhuang has nearly 1,000 acres of land, it can't cover such a large area, so it will inevitably affect nearby landlords.

Among them, the biggest impact is the blocked roads, such as the Jia family's convoy was blocked.

The Jia family is the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion, just because the You family of Ningguo Mansion is terminally ill, so Jia's mother and her party went to Qingxuguan to pray for blessings.

This is the road to Qingxuguan, but it is now blocked by the palace guards, even if the identity of Rongguofu is revealed, the guards did not let it go immediately, but had to report it to the boss for decision.

So the Jia family and his entourage could only wait, and this wait was half an hour later.

After all, Rongguo Mansion is Rongguo Mansion, and after Gao Hong, who was guarding against the hundred households in the west, learned of the situation, he ordered to allow the people of the Jia family to pass.

The Jia family's convoy was able to move on, and in a carriage at the back of the convoy, there were three people who visited the spring and welcomed the spring.

"Xiangwangfu is inevitably too domineering, and this road is not his family's!" Xichun muttered quietly.

At this time, Yingchun echoed: "They are powerful and powerful, so they naturally have to act more domineering, what can we do!" ”

However, Xichun is a child's heart, and she has no idea of exploring this topic in depth, and then she said: "I heard that the mandarin duck said that the ancestor misses the second brother, when do you say that the second brother will return home, can he still come back?" ”

I only heard Yingchun say: "He offended the royal family and caused a big disaster, fortunately the crown princess interceded to save his life, and now it is good to be alive, and Ann still has a chance to return home!" ”

Yingchun is used to being obedient, and it is certainly not unusual to say this now, but if Jia Mu hears it, it will only be even more unpleasant to see her.

"Okay, don't talk about these unhappy things, this time since we are here to pray for blessings, let's think more about how to pray for the blessing of the fairy gods, so that our house will be safe and smooth!"

With Tanchun's words, the carriage quieted down, Xichun lay by the window and looked outside, and Yingchun practiced the Taoist scriptures he brought with him.

There was no sound other than the sound of the convoy outside, so that there was a different kind of peace.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

"Get out of the way......"

The scolding sound from the rear broke the tranquility in Tanhua's heart, and then she asked outside the carriage, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the girl, a few carriages came, and it seemed to be ...... It seems to be the carriage of Xiangwang's Mansion! ”

"The carriage of the Xiangwang Mansion? Didn't those guards just say that King Xiang had already arrived in the other courtyard, why did he still appear here? ”

While waiting just now, Tanchun was not just in a daze, she was also listening to the conversation of the guards, so she asked this pointedly.

"It's a carriage that pulls things, as if it were pulling ...... It's vegetables and fruits! ”

Listening to the neighing of horses outside, Tanchun felt that the situation was not quite right, and the next moment he heard the girl outside exclaiming: "The girl is not good...... Their horses were shocked! ”

It is not uncommon for horses to be frightened, but this is the carriage of Xiangwangfu, if it collides with the Jia family, then trouble will come.

Tanchun easily thought of this, which made her mood even more gloomy, and secretly said that the family had been too much back recently.

Facts have proved that Tanchun's worries are correct, after the carriage transporting ingredients in Xiangwangfu's mansion got out of control, he really had to rush into the Jia family's convoy, and he went to Jia's mother's carriage.

The servants of the Jia family were so frightened that they scattered and fled, still colliding with two carriages, and finally the carriage of the Xiangwang Mansion rushed into the ditch, and then flipped over and scattered the ingredients on the ground.

As for Jia Mu's side, after the collision, the horse jumped wildly, causing her to be tossed in the carriage, and finally she didn't just shake it out.

Fortunately, the slave of the Jia family returned in time, and hurriedly stepped forward to control the carriage, but it was the Mandarin Duck who was the first to climb into the carriage and helped the fainting Jia Mu up.

"Oh no, the old lady is hurt!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Jia family was shocked, and the three of them were so frightened that they couldn't take much care of it, and hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation.
