Yunzhu instructed Forsythia: "Send a carriage to the Governor's Mansion to wait for Uncle Guo." ”

Forsythia smiled: "Madame is really considerate. ”

Yunzhu glared at her.

Governor's Palace.

The heavy rain darkened the light in the room, and the little official took charge of the lamp in advance.

Cao Xun's desk was full of official documents submitted by the guards from all over the country, and he forgot the time when he was busy, and it was a subordinate who reminded him that he was on duty, so he looked at the missing moment.

Cao Xun left the table, simply cleaned up the table, and went out, staying outside with Ah Jiu, holding two robes in his arms.

The master and servant put on their respective sadds, and stepped into the rain in front and back.

When he arrived outside the Governor's Mansion, Cao Xun recognized his coachman at a glance.

He paused slightly.

The coachman stood next to the carriage, holding an umbrella in his hand, and said respectfully: "It's raining heavily today, Madame sent me to pick up Grandpa, you can get in the car quickly." ”

Cao Xun smiled, walked over, took off his heavy and inconvenient coat under the driver's umbrella, and entered the carriage.

The coachman followed closely and got into the car, and Ah Jiu sat on the horse.

After walking for a while, Ah Jiu saw the master open the bamboo curtain, and looked outward, as if he was enjoying the rain scene, and his expression was peaceful.

Ah Jiu leaned closer and said happily: "You weren't in a hurry to get married before, look, if you don't have a lady, you will have to ride a horse like me." ”

Cao Xun smiled lightly: "No matter how heavy the rain has not been at the border pass, it doesn't hurt to ride a horse." ”

Ah Jiu said: "When you were riding a horse in the rain, you never smiled so comfortably. ”

Cao Xun ignored him anymore, and as far as he could see, there were willows on the side of the road that had been washed green by the rain, and rows of neat gray tile walls behind the trees.

Twilight is four, and people who have gone out are returning home one after another.

Chapter 60 "As long as you are happy, I will lift your tail to the sky."

At the end of June, that is, a few days after Li Yao left Beijing, when Li Yong interrogated the prisoner in the Jinyiwei prison, he did not notice that the murderer broke free from the restraints and grabbed the dagger next to him to sneak attack, although Li Yong dodged in time to avoid the vital point, he was still stabbed in the shoulder by the dagger, and it is said that when the other Jinyi guards finally subdued the murderer, half of Li Yong's robe was stained red with blood.

Such knife wounds are common on the battlefield, but each knife wound is dangerous, and it can cause death if it causes excessive blood loss in the arteries, and death if it hurts the vital parts of the lungs.

Li Yong was carried back to the Ningguo Mansion.

When Emperor Qianxing heard the news, he immediately asked someone to prepare a car, and he wanted to go to the Ningguo Mansion to "visit" Li Yong in person.

Empress Dowager Cao got the news and hurriedly came over to dissuade him: "The emperor is still young, there may be assassins in ambush outside the palace, so it's better not to leave the palace easily." ”

Emperor Qianxing: "I have the protection of the imperial guards by my side, how can the assassin be so easy to succeed." ”

This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if he can't even walk around the capital casually, what does the emperor mean by doing it?

Ignoring the opposition of the Empress Dowager Cao, Emperor Qianxing called two imperial doctors to bring hundreds of imperial guards and left the palace in a mighty manner.

In the Ningguo Mansion, Lang Zhongcai cleaned Li Yong's wound and applied gold sore medicine.

During this period, Li Yong's cold sweat never broke, but he still had to force a smile at his wife who was guarding the side: "It's okay, such small injuries at the border are commonplace." ”

Meng Shi said angrily: "Shut up, you went out to fight such a battle, and you don't have to be strong in front of me." ”

Li Yong had no choice but to shut up.

After Lang Zhong applied the medicine, he explained: "It's a hot summer day, and Grandpa Guo's wound should be kept dry as much as possible, and there is no need to wrap gauze for the time being." ”

Meng kept it in mind.

After Lang Zhong left, before the couple could speak, Emperor Qianxing arrived, and Li Yong showed half of his shoulders and was helped out by Meng Shi to pick up the car.

Gu Min has been guarding the door as a daughter-in-law, and when she saw her father-in-law coming out, she quickly lowered her eyes, and she was very sad in her heart.

The three of them walked to the front yard and met Emperor Qianxing, who was rushing in, followed by Gonggong Wan on the left, and Yang Dong, the newly promoted commander of the imperial guard, on the right.

Yang Dong is the one who was robbed by Pan Maocai in the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division before, and he is just twenty-five years old this year.

Yang Dong was born as a civilian, but his father was an old dart master, good at using knives, Yang Dong was strong and strong, and he learned a superb knife technique from his father, and he may not lose some generals in martial arts. Yang Dong originally wanted to join the Twenty-six Guards Army, but his youth and vigor offended the officials responsible for selecting elite soldiers, resulting in defeat and had to switch to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Count him unlucky, he entered the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division under the control of the Pan family's father and son, and he made a lot of contributions, but he was robbed by the Pan family's father and son.

This year, Yang Dong came to work, first to arrest the fugitive, and then because Emperor Qianxing did not like Pan Maocai, he thoroughly investigated the case, and immediately sent him to Emperor Qianxing. Yang Dong has real skills again, he won the deputy commander of the imperial guard in the competition, won the favor of Emperor Qianxing, and naturally promoted him exceptionally, and was named the military attache of the third grade.

He was wearing the scarlet official uniform that Li Yao had once wore, and stood majestically on the right side of Emperor Qianxing.

Deep down, Yang Dong was worried, he was very aware of the relationship between Emperor Qianxing and the Li family, so he felt that everyone in the Li family would definitely anger him, the newly promoted commander of the imperial guard, because of Li Yao's affairs. What is the foundation of the Li family, how can he, a civilian child who has just emerged, not be afraid?

Fortunately, Yang Dong got the help of Uncle Cao Xun soon after entering the palace, and Uncle Guo said that he should be loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, regard himself as the emperor's right-hand man, and he will do whatever the emperor asks him to do, and do it beautifully, so as long as the emperor appreciates him, no matter how high the official position of other officials is, he must give him some face, and dare not despise him.

The forbearance of the previous few years made Yang Dong more and more calm, and he quickly adapted to this situation, and noticed that the eyes of Ning Guogong and his wife stayed on his official uniform for a moment, but Yang Dong still stood steadily, without timidity.

"The emperor has arrived, and the ministers have missed the welcome." Li Yong bowed his head and was about to kneel down for Emperor Qianxing.

The most basic face-saving work Emperor Xing would still do, he stopped Li Yong's movements, and frowned at Li Yong's terrifying wound that overflowed blood again: "Why was Grandpa Guo so careless that he actually injured a prisoner?" ”

Li Yong looked at his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "As I get older, I miss the old more and more, and when I tried the case, I suddenly remembered the first emperor, and I was in a trance, which gave the prisoner a chance to take advantage of." ”

Perhaps thinking of the first emperor again, Li Yong actually choked up in front of everyone and shed tears.

He is a well-known handsome appearance in the capital, even if he is middle-aged, he is also a handsome American duke, at this time the eight-foot-tall Wei'an body is lying on his back because of the injury, and then he burst into tears, and even Emperor Qianxing, who came to gloat the disaster, is a little unbearable. However, when he thought of his father's preference for the Li family, and thought of his father's willingness to lose his face in order to cultivate Li Xian, Emperor Qianxing was cold again.

asked the imperial doctor to check Li Yong's wound again, and made sure that Li Yong was really seriously injured, Emperor Qianxing was very satisfied, and said to Li Yong: "Grandpa Guo can recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and Jinyiwei will be handed over to Shen Kuo for the time being, and then go back on an errand when Grandpa Guo's injury is healed." ”

Li Yong: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion, the minister must recover from his injuries as soon as possible, and strive to serve the emperor again as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Qianxing took another look at Li Yong's injury, and thought to himself that you would be sick all your life.

After the politeness is over, Emperor Qianxing is leaving.

When he came to the gate of the Ningguo Mansion with a group of people, he saw a pair of masters and servants running over in a hurry, it was Yunzhu and Forsythia who came to hear the news.

Emperor Qianxing unconsciously stopped.

He didn't like Li Yong, Li Yao, and Li Xian, but this eldest aunt from the Li family was so beautiful that it was difficult for him to be angry.

Like a dark and dreary barren land, a fairy in colorful clothes suddenly flew over, and Emperor Qianxing's entire spirit was shocked.

At this moment, Emperor Qianxing suddenly understood why his little uncle Cao Shao had always been obsessed with Yunzhu, and if he had such a beautiful Qingmei, even if she was married and had children, he would definitely snatch it over.

The emperor's guard of honor was outside, Yunzhu even had to get out of the car in advance and walk over, naturally he had already known that Emperor Qianxing had come to the house, and at this time he was facing Emperor Qianxing, Yunzhu was like when he went to visit the prince in Nanyuan, there was no anger on his face, only worry about his father's injury, and awe of the little emperor.

"The courtiers meet the emperor."

Yunzhu wanted to salute.

Emperor Qianxing stopped sincerely: "Uncle is exempt from courtesy." ”

Yun Zhu just bent his knees, looked at the main courtyard with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and looked like Chu Chu who was anxious to see his father and had to wait for the little emperor's instructions.

Emperor Qianxing said empathetically: "Grandpa Guo is not lightly injured, aunt go and take a look." ”

Yunzhu then ran again.

Emperor Qianxing turned around and saw the flying skirt of the beautiful aunt.

.

It was the first time Yun Zhu had seen such a serious injury, bloody, and the skin and flesh were rolling.

Li Yong looked at his daughter without saying a word, but just shed tears down her cheeks, crying more fiercely than when her youngest son left Beijing.

There were no outsiders in the house, Li Yong comforted his daughter in a low voice: "Don't cry, don't cry, my father is deliberate, instead of waiting for the emperor to find an excuse to dismiss my official, it is better for me to retire myself, at least to keep my dignity." ”

Yunzhu: "I'd rather you don't have decency than you get hurt like this." ”

Li Yong: "What is this injury, I don't know how much Fushan has suffered even more seriously, he has survived it younger than me, and my father is even more afraid." ”

Yunzhu couldn't listen to that, threw herself into her mother's arms, and ignored her father.

Meng Shi touched her daughter's head, looked at her husband on the bed, and sighed: "Okay, your brother went to Guizhou, your brother went to Fuzhou, your father will stay at home to recuperate in the future, the emperor will not target our family for the time being, my heart can finally be steadfast for a while." Now my mother doesn't worry about the family, I'm afraid that you will be angry outside. ”

The officials and people of the whole capital know that it will be difficult for the Ningguo Mansion to restore its former glory, and those beautiful young ladies who are always pressed by their daughters will definitely take the opportunity to suppress their daughters, even if it is just verbal ridicule and ridicule, Meng Shi imagines that it is uncomfortable.

Yun Zhu wiped away her tears, and her eyes were lit up with anger: "Whoever dares to provoke me at this juncture, I will definitely not save any face for them!" ”

Her mother's family is fine, she is in a good mood, and her temper is more relaxed, now that her brother and brother are away from home, her father is also injured, Yunzhu is uncomfortable, and naturally she is not in the mood to be tolerant of others.

What Meng Shi is afraid of is this: "Don't, our family is already like this, only Fushan can protect you in the future, but no matter how powerful he is, he has to worry about his reputation, you really can't bear to beat others for a while, and people go to Fushan to sue again, once or twice Fushan can bear it, if there are too many times, he will also feel troublesome, and it will ruin your husband and wife in vain." ”

Yunzhu: "Who wants him to protect it?" It's okay for a man to fight and fight as long as he doesn't die, what's wrong with me hitting the person who is rushing to provoke me, which law doesn't allow it? If he is troublesome, then I will reconcile with him, and no one will want to step on my head anyway. ”

Meng: "......"

Li Yong waved his hand: "Okay, you two don't say a word, didn't you come to visit me, why did you go so far?" ”

Yun Zhu can't go to see her father now, otherwise her shoulder will hurt as soon as she sees the injury.

Cao Xun also got the news, but he couldn't leave his post without permission, and only after leaving duty did he ride straight to the Ningguo Mansion.

He could guess why his father-in-law was stabbed like this, so he only instructed him to recuperate.

Li Yong said in a low voice: "The situation is like this, you just have to be your uncle and try to teach the emperor to be a wise man, and you don't have to think about helping us anything." ”

Cao Xun bowed his head: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I am measured." ”

Li Yong called his daughter in again and asked her to go back with her son-in-law tonight, and she would run home less if she had nothing to do in the future.

Yunzhu refused to leave.

Cao Xun insisted on carrying the person out, and the people in the courtyard saw this scene and lowered their heads one after another.

Yun Zhu felt uncomfortable, and hit Cao Xun on the shoulder: "My father was injured like that, what's wrong with me staying at home for a few nights?" ”

Cao Xun followed her and continued to walk out, his voice cold: "What if you live, do you know how to heal, or can you take care of people better than your mother-in-law?" ”

Yunzhu: "At least I can see my father all the time, and I don't have to worry about it." ”

Cao Xun: "I married you to let you take care of me, not to let you think about your mother's family every day." ”

Yun Zhu raised her head in disbelief, seeing Cao Xun's gloomy face, coupled with those ugly words, she refused to go back with him, and struggled more and more.

So, the subordinates of the Ningguo Mansion and the guards guarding the outside, and the little servants who probed their brains from the neighbors, witnessed this scene with their own eyes: the strong and sturdy Uncle Guo took off his gentle side and rudely stuffed the young lady of the Ningguo Mansion into the carriage. Before the carriage drove out of the street, there was a faint cry and scolding from Miss Jiao.

The young lady in their imagination may have been pressed on the couch by Uncle Guo's wrist, or even slapped by Uncle Guo.
