Chapter 11: Raw rice refers to ripe rice

Before noon, the reward of Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, arrived. On the tray held by the four court officials is the Longquan sword that King Wu rewarded Da Kui, the seal letter of the political envoy, a hundred taels of gold, and a second-grade court dress, all the way into the Yuelai Inn. Outside the inn, two carriages pulled thousands of brocades and waited outside the inn. Da Kuijiu hadn't woken up yet, and he was rewarded in a daze.

When Da Kui woke up, he was stupid again. Half of the room was piled up with brocade, and on the table was a sword and a pile of gold ingots. And he was wearing an official uniform, and a two-inch square yellow cloth bag was placed next to the pillow.

Patting his dizzy head, Da Kui remembered what was going on. After getting out of bed and putting on his shoes, Yan Shan opened the door with his steps and walked to the door, and the two guards arched their hands and said, "Subordinate Xu Yuan Dong Hu see Lord Zhang." Da Kui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who sent you here?" Dong Hu on the left arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu has arranged a mansion for Lord Zhang, and the two of us will be Lord Zhang's personal guards in the future." In addition, there are 20 people in the mansion who are already waiting for Master Zhang in the mansion. ”

Da Kui rubbed his temples and said, "In this case, you wait for someone to move everything from King Wu back to the mansion, and I will go to see King Wu immediately." ”

Dong Hu promised, Da Kui asked Xu Yuan to help him dress neatly, and then quickly went straight to the palace of King Wu.

Above the main hall, Da Kui knelt on the ground and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu, the lower officials entered the court today to bid farewell to His Royal Highness." Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, sat high on the dragon chair and asked, "Aiqing, why is this?" Da Kui said: "The duty of the minister is to inspect all parts of the south of the Yangtze River. If you are in the court for a long time, you may be guilty of dereliction of duty. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Are you afraid of the constraints of this court, since this is the case, you don't have to come to the court except for important things in the future." Da Kui waited for this sentence, and withdrew from the hall with a thousand thanks.

Out of the palace, Da Kui was led back to his mansion by Dong Hu. Without knowing how luxurious the mansion was, Da Kui changed into the clothes of the previous people, took the Longquan sword, brought the official seal, and grabbed three or five gold ingots before leaving the Zhang Mansion and riding a fast horse all the way to the south.

How do you know that there was already a royal order to go to the Zhengtong Dart Bureau of Longping Mansion first.

Huang Shijie, the head of Zhengtong Dart Bureau, is now recovering from a serious illness, and his baby daughter has taken a dart for himself. It took nearly three months to come back, and although there were changes on the way, they all came back safely. Huang Shijie couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'The child's wings are hard'.

On this morning, Huang Shijie walked a set of back punches in his yard. Daughter Huang Ying was waiting with a cup of hot tea, and suddenly the family reported that an official had come to work outside the door, and Huang Shijie was busy changing clothes to greet her.

In the living room, a court official dressed in a sky-blue splendid official uniform stood in the hall, and there were two government officials guarding the door. Huang Shijie entered the living room, and the court official looked Huang Shijie up and down and asked, "Are you Huang Shijie?" Huang Shijie hurriedly said: "The old man is." The court official asked again: "What about your family?" Huang Shijie asked puzzledly: "What are you looking for my family?" The court official smiled: "I am here to deliver the king's order, which is related to your family, and I will call it quickly." ”

Huang Shijie was helpless, so he went to the back hall to invite his wife Guo and daughter Huang Ying. The court official asked again: "Who else is in your family?" Huang Shijie said: "There are two apprentices and more than ten maids and servants at home, and my two apprentices are on duty in the dart game." The court official muttered, "Call them together." Huang Shijie called someone to summon Fang Qishan and Luo Dahai and the people in the family.

When the officials and others arrived, they took out a roll of cloth from their sleeves and unfolded it: "Huang Shijie and his family receive the order." Huang Shijie immediately led his family members to bow down and accept the order.

The official read: "Feng Wu Wang's edict: Huang Shijie, the head of the Zhengtong Dart Bureau, has a female Huang Ying, who has a good appearance and both civil and military. Today, Wang Bao Media promised Zhang Dakui, the second prince of the current dynasty, the Taibao Jiangnan General Political Envoy, as his wife, and named Huang Ying as his wife. The husband and wife will get married immediately when they meet, and if there is a change, the king shall not order Huang Ying to marry without authorization, and this is admired. ”

'Puff' Huang Shijie fainted, and his family was busy helping him. Behind the 'puff pass', Fang Qishan also fainted ....... Huang Ying's mother, Guo, is also an old Jianghu, and ordered someone to take the silver to dot the court officials and asked Luo Dahai to send it off.

The family looked at a roll of yellow brocade silk on the table and frowned, Huang Shijie woke up and sighed: "What kind of sin has this been created?" Guo Shi also hugged his daughter and wiped his tears on the side, Luo Dahai said in a sullen voice: "What's wrong with marrying a high-ranking official of the imperial court, when the time comes, the master and the master will eat and drink spicy food." Huang Shijie sighed: "You don't want to think about it, our Lord Yin of Longping Mansion is only a fourth-grade official who is more than fifty years old, and the second-rank officials in the court are at least seventy or eighty, which is a bitter thing for my daughter." As soon as Huang Shijie's words came out, Guo and Huang Ying cried even more fiercely.

Fang Qishan on the side was pulling out the cold in his heart at this time, and he had the heart to die. I have been apprenticed to the dart bureau for seven years, and in the past seven years, I have never said that I am afraid, everything is for Huang Ying. But today, with a king's order, I have been boiling for seven years in vain. This is the king's order, unless you don't have a head, who would dare not obey?

Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a sad cry outside the gate: "Miss Huang, I'm your big brother Zhang." With this cry, a man rushed in from outside the gate. The appearance is miserable, unkempt and full of tears, and his clothes are tattered and barefoot. It turned out that the door was not closed after sending off the court officials, so this person rushed in.

Huang Shijie asked Huang Ying in surprise: "Ying'er, who is this? Huang Ying said: "He was met on the way to Yingtian, thanks to Brother Zhang's help, otherwise my two senior brothers are afraid that they will be more than lucky." Huang Shijie said: "We people in the rivers and lakes should be reciprocated by the grace of a little water, and we invited him in so quickly." ”

Isn't it Zhang Dakui, but is it that one?

Da Kui entered the living room and saw Huang Ying directly stupid, Huang Ying did not bring a hat and Luo Sha at home, and now Da Kui couldn't help but beat wildly in his heart when he saw it, "It's so beautiful, is this a fairy?" Huang Ying's willow eyebrows are bent, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, Qiong's nose is small, and her lips are like Dan, and her face is full of tears like pear blossoms with rain. The yellow warbler in Da Kui's eyes is not inferior to the Moon Palace Chang'e in the New Year's painting.

Huang Shijie couldn't help coughing twice when he saw Da Kui's demented face, and Da Kui woke up. Huang Ying first asked, "Where did Brother Zhang come from? Why do you look like this?" Da Kui heard this and felt sad, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "I was originally an orphan wandering around, but fortunately, I met Miss Huang on the way to get food and clothing. Who knew that after leaving Miss Huang, Ying Tian actually caused trouble, and all the silver on his body was lost to others. Now that I'm homeless, I can only come to vote for the yellow girl, which Cheng wants to go to the Zhengtong dart bureau to find you and call the big yellow dog in your dart bureau to bite. Miss Huang, you want to take me in. "It's even more sad.
