The distance from Jincheng to Yuantu is far away, passing through many mountainous rivers and Gobi, and it takes a few months to ride a horse day and night, not to mention this for the time being, and said that Wu Hanlin has taken this hot potato, and the whole house is sad and miserable, and everyone sighs and worries.

This Wu Gong's family has a big business, but except for a daughter, there are no other members of the family who can provoke the family business, so as soon as Wu Hanlin leaves, he is equivalent to a person who is not at home ------ the prince of the stove.

Now who will take care of the big family, Miss Hanyu usually manages the internal affairs of the Wu Mansion, but if she wants to take care of the internal and external affairs of the Wu Mansion alone, I am afraid that she is a delicate and delicate woman, and everyone will not be able to bear it.

On the second day, in the study room of the inner courtyard of Wu Mansion, Miss Hanyu said with a slight cry: "Daddy traveled alone in the Northern Regions this time, no one took care of him, the road was cold and scorching, the mountains and rivers were poor, and the ambition of the wolf son of the Yuantu country, the land of tigers and wolves, really worried his daughter. ”

only listened to Wu Gongdao: "A daughter doesn't have to worry about her father's safety, her father usually holds her own clear words, cares about the court, and is loyal." This mission to the Western Regions is the time to prove my loyalty and honesty in my life, and I can also leave my name in history. ”

When Hanyu heard this, she had to cry like peach blossoms and rain, and she was even more sad.

Wu Gong stroked Hanyu's head, revealing a kind look, and muttered: "Ru Pingsheng, only you have a daughter, you are smart and virtuous, outstanding talent, my old man is very comforting, this time I am the king, the Northern Regions are peaceful, this is nine deaths, you are alone, how can I put my mind at ease." ”

Hanyu is smart, sad to hear, and tears can't stop staying.

Although Wang Chuan is in the garden, the words in the room are really heard, and he said secretly: This old Wu, this time he really knocked over the five-flavor bottle - sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, everything. It's just that this Miss Hanyu is good, a weak woman, powerless, no one to help, born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, I am afraid that she will be coveted.

Besides, in this kind of feudal society, it is impossible for the daughter's family to show up all day long, and it is impossible to say that Deng Lao Wu will go first, and someone will come behind him, designing to frame his family.

At this time, suddenly a husband came to report and came, and Wu Gong's study said respectfully: "Master, Li Hanlin outside the door, Su Yushi asks to see you." ”

When an old friend came, Wu Gong wiped away the old tears from the corners of his eyes, asked Hanyu to step back first, and said, "Hurry up and invite the second prince in, I'll be there later." ”

After a while, there was a sound of compact steps, and after a while, two people came in, Wang Chuan was in the garden, and looked at it, it was a close friend of Wu Gong on weekdays, it was Li Hanlin and Su Yushi, the two came to the courtyard, and saw that Wang Chuan was taking care of the flowers and trees, in view of Wang Chuan's status as a master craftsman, he reluctantly said: "The master is so busy!." ”

Wang Chuan also returned the courtesy: "The second is safe and healthy." ”

The two of them came to the study with a heavy heart, and when they saw Wu Chengcheng there, the three of them exchanged a few words of greeting and went straight to the point.

Su Yushi said: "I heard yesterday that the imperial court sent Wu Gong to the Western Regions, and the mission was peaceful, and the two of us were shocked in our hearts, this matter is important and widely implicated, so I came to inquire?"

Wu Gong lowered his eyebrows, his face couldn't hold back, so he had to sigh and said: "Meng two brothers are concerned, this matter is true, I really don't know who it is, secretly framed me, I am usually in the court, clean and self-conscious, do not move around often, there should be no offended people, but the old man is now suspecting that it is Yang Yushi, because of the past refusal, and resentment, take the opportunity to frame me." ”

Li Hanlin said: "Su Yushi was born in the cold and is eager for quick success, but he is kind by nature, and based on the old man's guess, he doesn't look like a villain with insinuations, or is there someone else?"

When Su Yushi heard this, he said: "Brother can't live with his own heart, there is an ancient saying: this time and that time." This officialdom is a cloth dye vat, clean and honest, there can be a few people who are good to themselves, people's hearts are changing day by day, and Wu is fair to treat people and things, all of them are polite and courteous, and they are also well-known in the court, only the day before yesterday, they rejected Yang Yushi because of the name and festival, this matter is clear, and it must be that person framed from it. ”

When Li Hanlin heard this, he couldn't argue, so he had to sigh and secretly say in his heart: This matter is strange, and now he is not allowed to investigate.

Duke Wu sighed and said: "I have made up my mind this time, since the imperial court appointed me to envoy Yuantu, I will lead by example, eat the king's lu, share the king's worries, this trip to the northern regions, I must go all out, the second duke can no longer dispute this matter, in vain hurt the brother's mood." ”

When the two heard this, they apologized to each other.

Wu Gong thought about it, and said with a smile: "I will travel far away, and the second prince will say goodbye, I can't bear it in my heart, it's better to wait for this time to get drunk, with cousin affection." ”

When Li Hanlin heard this, he shouted: "We also have this intention, and it coincides with each other, this banquet is to be practiced by you, and the second is to enhance the affection between us, so very good." ”

Su Yushi also means this.

Wu Gong instructed that the wine and food could be set up on the left and right, and after a while, the wine and food were placed on a table, and the three of them were drunk.

Wang Chuan was outside, smelling the aroma of wine, and said secretly: It's really a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, this wine is a good wine.

The next day, Li Hanlin and Su Yushi resigned first because they were busy with official business, and Wu Gong called left and right, and ordered the confidential personnel of the government to gather in the flower hall.

This flower hall is the place where Wu Mansion receives distinguished guests, and it is also a place where people gather to discuss important matters in the house.

Wang Chuan is also among them.

In the flower hall, Wang Chuan took a closer look at the personnel, there were two cleaning servants, two people in the canteen, two people in the canteen, two people in the mother of the young lady's boudoir, one person in charge of flowers and plants--- Wang Chuan himself, plus a house manager is Dong Lao, and there is a mother, a total of nine people, among which there are two people, one is the lady's personal maid Su Ying, and the other is a slightly older middle-aged woman, so there are eleven people in total.

Wu Gong was late, he wore a stiff-legged head and a round-necked robe, the hem of the round-necked robe was a horizontal hem, the neckline was bordered with a wide edge of the same color fabric, and the underwear was white with a collar, and he was dressed rigorously, as if something important was being announced.

Wu Chengcheng came to the flower hall, sat high in the middle of the seat above, swept everyone with burning eyes, and said: "The day before yesterday, I received a holy decree announcing that I would send an envoy to Yuantu Kingdom within fifteen days, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and the old man must not stay for a long time, and he will be able to travel far away, therefore, there is no one in charge of the house, so ~." ”

Wu Gong stopped suddenly, his gaze swept over everyone, and his expression was serious.

Wang Chuan felt an atmosphere with a sense of solemnity.

Everyone held their breath and did not dare to breathe loudly.

Wu Gong then said slowly: "The people who have no master in the house are like the people who have no owner in the country, and the dragons have no leader. So today, I summoned you and others here to instruct the affairs of the future period of time, and the affairs of the family, all presided over by Miss Hanyu. ”

He paused, and then said: "Elder Dong and Mother Wu will assist from the side, and the others will be careful to observe the affairs of the department, and they will not be neglected, and during my mission, they will not receive outsiders into the palace." If there is any special matter, please inform the lady of the meeting, and wait for the final decision of the lady before it can be done. ”

Wu Gong said a few words, and everyone wrote them down.

Maybe Master Wu and Xu Da have made up their minds, and they set off today, outside the gate of the mansion, Xu Da's thousand-strong brigade has been on standby, with all the baggage carriages ready, and a feeling of marching thousands of miles and a long road.

After Wu Bus took charge of the affairs in the house, he asked the young lady to stay alone, explained some things to the young lady, and taught the opportunity in person, only to cry Hanyu like a tearful person.

The hour was not early, everything was explained, Wu Gong returned to the study, prepared the envoy's official documents, the family prepared carriages and horses, because the weather was cold, prepared a fox fur warm jacket and a little single clothes and other clothes, in addition, and prepared a lot of dry food, pastries and tea, as well as common medicinal food in case of trouble. Everything is ready, Wu Gong came out of the mansion in a gorgeous official uniform, and all the families came to say goodbye, Hanyu was dressed in red makeup, and she was very beautiful, and the few people who came out to see their father far away, just crying and crying.

Wu Gong ruthlessly got into the carriage, opened the thick curtain, and was about to enter, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Chuan standing on the side of the crowd, and secretly said in his heart, this son does not know about the world, except for the correction of flowers and plants on weekdays, that is, he will go back to the hospital and close the door.

Wu Gong sat in the car and whispered a few words to the waiter, who got out of the car and asked, "Who is Wang Chuan, the master has passed on." ”

Wang Chuan stayed in the crowd, pure heart and few desires, suddenly heard someone calling him, listened attentively, it turned out to be Wu Gong, and secretly said in his heart: He saw what I did, strange!

He stepped forward, boarded the carriage, saw Wu Cheng sitting in a precarious position, and said respectfully: "What did the master see me?"

Wu Gong looked at him carefully a few times, and then said: "It has been more than a year since you entered my Wu Mansion, and I haven't seen you socializing during this year, but I have only seen you except for repairing flowers and plants, but you are closed, and I ask you, what are you doing, can you tell me?"

Wang Chuan looked at this old man, who was over the age of sixteen and kind, but he was framed by someone, and he was unlucky enough, and said in his heart: This person is also a believer, but this is a secret that I don't declare, even if he treats me well, I can't tell it.

Wang Chuan's heart was dark, and he said: "Duke Wu, I do have my own secrets, don't know it with others at will, you treat me well, you have the grace of settling down, I also want to repay you, so let's do it, your Wu Mansion, the family is big, I may not be able to keep it, but I can protect the safety of your family." Do you think it's good?" After that, Wang Chuan was afraid that Wu Gong would not believe him, so he suddenly held Wu Gong's hand and secretly practiced the exercises, and a soft and mighty internal force flowed to Wu Gong's whole body.

Wu Gong was shocked, looking at Wang Chuan's gaze excitedly, and said in his heart, God treats me well, and with this strange person to bless my daughter, I will be worry-free.
