Chapter 246: Ordered to tour the south
"Then it should really be thoroughly investigated, otherwise some thieves will report their private pockets, and in the end, only the people will suffer and suffer, and if there are many disasters, naturally those who can't go on will rise up and resist, and if you want to be stable, you have to let the people live a stable life. The promise on the side was cynical.
"Nuo'er is right, this time the emperor also wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, and it must be done in secret, not with great fanfare, such a cunning fox will hide in the cave and not come out, it is difficult for us to find out the big guy behind the scenes. Mo Xingchen said solemnly.
"Won't the emperor leave this matter to you, right?" Hearing this, Xu Yu'er looked at Mo Xingchen suspiciously.
"As you can guess, we were indeed ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly, and I was allowed to take a few people with me, but only as merchants. Mo Xingchen said the emperor's order.
"Then when are you going to leave, and who are you going to take with you?" Xu Nuo'er said thoughtfully.
"You and the Agus couple are definitely going to go, King Rui and Fan Xingwen stay at home to take care of all the big and small affairs, except for the four secret guards, no one else can bring them, and it is inconvenient to go anywhere with so many people. Mo Xingchen decided.
"I agree with this, because there is no one left in the rear, in case something happens, we will definitely be too late to rush back, and it is indeed a lot more convenient to have a woman to cover when we go out. King Rui was the first to agree.
"That being said, we missed the opportunity to go on a southern tour if we stayed, and I wanted to go out for a walk. Fan Xingwen said unwillingly.
"You still have a chance to go again, this is full of dangers, you don't know how to work hard, you have one more burden when you go, when the world is peaceful, my brother will take you there." King Rui directly vetoed Fan Xingwen.
"What's wrong with not knowing kung fu, Nuo'er still can't kung fu, how can she go, I can't? Fan Xingwen asked with a puzzled expression.
"Are you a woman? Husband and wife stalls are less noticeable when you go out, if you are a group of strong men, except for the dart game, nothing else is very logical, if you are a woman, you will immediately take one. Before anyone else could speak, King Rui gave him a cruel answer.
"When did this start, the status of women has come up, not only has she become the preferred partner when she goes out, but she also feels that this use is indispensable. Fan Xingwen complained dejectedly, wishing that he was a woman at this time.
A few men went to the study to discuss countermeasures, and two women were chatting outside, and they were really not interested in these political affairs.
"No'er, you have to pay attention to your body when you go out, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Zhuoya looked at Xu Yu'er's emaciated body and couldn't help but worry.
"It's okay, I'm very strong, just pay attention when the time comes, it's much better to take me with you than to keep me in the house, and it's good to go out for a walk, I'm really willing to go." Xu Nuo'er said with a longing face, not thinking of this trip as a difficult task at all, as if they were traveling in a group.
Soon a few men walked out, and Mo Xingchen asked the housekeeper to tell the kitchen to add a few dishes, and take a few brothers to drink a few cups.
Soon a table of dishes has been served, and everyone sits down to express their opinions.
"Let's set off early tomorrow morning, counting Rufeng, the four of them are a total of eight people, and the affairs in King Fu's mansion will be handled by your two brothers, and you will assist the housekeeper in handling the big and small things in the mansion, Xingchen is very grateful. We'll be back in a month, or two months at the slowest, and we'll be here together. Mo Xingchen instructed the affairs of the mansion.
"It's too foreign for our brothers to say this, you must be cautious when you go out, and you must not be reckless, otherwise the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it is very dangerous. King Rui, who has always been very arrogant, is careful at this time.
"Big brother, please rest assured, we must be very careful when we go out this time with Nuo'er and Zhuoya, we will come back in good condition, you just wait for us at home. Mo Xingchen said with a smile.
The group chatted late into the night, and then they each returned to their residences. Both Noll and Zoya have prepared the essentials for tomorrow's trip.
The next day, just after dawn, a few people hurried to have breakfast and hurried away. This time they went to Suzhou, they hired two inconspicuous carriages, dressed as merchants, and set off for Suzhou.
The further south you go, the more pleasant the scenery is, and Xu Yue'er feels that she has made the right decision this time, and she will have the opportunity to see such a beautiful scenery by following her.
"No'er, this place is indeed beautiful, I think it is more beautiful than the prairie, it is really not in vain! Zhuoya lifted the curtain and looked out, full of praise along the way. The beauty of the savannah is the beauty of the monotonous atmosphere. The beauty of the south is colorful and fickle. Especially in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, the small bridges and flowing water blow the willows, and the mandarin ducks playing in the water, each of which is the most beautiful landscape painting.
"We'll stay in this town tonight, and it's getting late, so let's rest at this inn. Seeing that there was a rare inn in front of him that looked pretty good, Mo Xingchen decided to rest here for the time being.
A few people got out of the carriage, and as soon as they entered the gate, a junior two trotted over to say hello: "Are the guest officers playing sharp or staying in the hotel?"
"Stay in a hotel! I want four first-class rooms, and a table of good food. "If the wind is busy, it should be accepted.
Soon Xiao Er brought a few people to the guest room on the second floor, and there were exactly four adjacent rooms for a few people to see.
When a few people saw that the room was still clean and tidy, the rooms were connected, and the vision was quite wide, they nodded and agreed.
After a while, a table of good dishes came up, and everyone came to Mo Xingchen and Xu Nuo'er's house to eat together.
"After eating for a while, according to the old rules, the four of you will take turns in two, and the other two will sleep first, and then switch over after two hours. Mo Xingchen commanded.
"My subordinates understand!" the four agreed.
"No wonder you dead people only need two rooms, I thought you would really save money, it turned out that it was because you had to take a shift, so it was more convenient, right?" Zhuo Ya looked at Rufeng with a curious expression.
"Exactly, when the geese are napping, there must be a sentry guard, how can so many of us be unprepared. Rufeng smiled indifferently and explained with a straight face.
"Let's rest early after eating, don't go out and walk around at will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, we can go to Suzhou tomorrow, remember that we are businessmen, we are in the tea business, here are a few books on the tea ceremony, you can pass it on and take a look." Mo Xingchen sent out the several books he had prepared one by one.
"Xingchen, you are really doing a good job at this, as the saying goes, you have to shout what you sell, so we must understand the market first, at least a little bit of it, otherwise it is easy to show the stuff, especially those opponents are so cunning, we must be prepared. Aguston gave a thumbs up, approving.
Originally, he was very careful, but compared to Mo Xingchen, he was indeed slightly inferior.
"You two big men are so careful, you make both of us women feel a little embarrassed, what we should do, you have done it for you, so what else do you say we can do?" Xu Yu'er felt that she was simply useless, just a rice worm.
"Hehe, we don't dare to say it, in fact, the two of you also have a unique use, which cannot be replaced by men, so you are not useless, you know!" Mo Xingchen changed his usual cold face, smiled slyly, and said badly.
"You, you're too much, you actually buried us in front of everyone, hmph, ignore you, this last use has also been withdrawn, and you won't be allowed to use it. Xu Nuo'er said angrily.
The god-like conversation between the two made everyone bow their heads and laugh, and they didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to, and it was really hard to hold back.
"No'er, let's not be angry, we have a lot of roles, otherwise why do they have to take us, we can cover for them, we can take care of them on the road, we can protect them when there is danger, do you say our use is big?"
"Zhuoya, don't you feel hot on your face when you say this? Xu Nuo'er touched her little face, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, this is all the opposite, okay, bring her here, Mo Xingchen has a lot of work along the way, and there is hardly much time to rest. If there is danger, she has to protect her as soon as possible, she is not like Zhuoya who knows kung fu, and she can't do anything.
"It's a little hot haha, doesn't it make you happy, why don't we have no use, maybe we can come in handy at the critical moment. "Zhuoya is an optimist, always smiling and not knowing the taste of sorrow.
Xu Yu'er was also infected, and giggled. Everyone finally understands why it is said that men and women are not tired of working together, it turns out that women's laughter is really low, they can laugh when they have a little thing, and they can laugh for a long time when they laugh, and they are really good at adjusting the atmosphere.
Soon everyone finished their dinner and went back to their houses. Xu Nuo'er couldn't sleep after washing, so she sat on the chair by the window and looked at the streets and alleys outside, where there were almost all small rivers, and it was rare to have such an ancient street. There are also a lot of pedestrians on the ancient street at this time, and it should be bustling with the night market.
"What do you see, so fascinated?" Mo Xingchen walked over and hugged Xu Nuo'er from behind him, and asked with a smile.
"You see that the night market here is so lively, life here is okay, haven't you seen the impact of the flood?" Xu Yu'er said thoughtfully.
"Well, that's true, is it possible that the impact of the disaster is very different just one county apart? Or is everything here secretly manipulated, and the harvest can not be guaranteed by drought and flood here? Mo Xingchen also felt that what Xu Nuo'er said made sense.
