Chapter Ninety-Six: The Butterfly Shadow Has Not Returned

This holy decree came neither early nor late, just when Liu Jian was in a hurry, it was boring and abnormal.

But no one can afford the great crime of disrespecting the decree, so Jin Huan can only arrange for someone to put the incense case and burn the incense burner, and he was busy for a long time before letting Liu Jian go out of the compound and kneel down to accept the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Yuecheng Dacai Brother Chun, has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, the heart of governing the country and the country, and has made many suggestions in recent days, persuading me to be diligent in government and love the people, and to protect the meritorious service, and should be rewarded. Mr. I know that he has no intention of fame and power, so Mr. Feng is the eunuch of the Son of Heaven, who is the second grade, allows him to walk in the palace, and gives him a golden jade dragon staff. If the Son of Heaven has done it, he should be punished with a rod, and if a hundred officials have done it, he should be struck with a dragon rod. Chin!"

The father-in-law who delivered the decree smiled: "Lord Chun, hurry up and accept the decree." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Liu Jian sang, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to hold the holy decree, and then stood up with a smile. "Jin Huan, prepare tea. ”

"Yes," the waiter of the Ministry of Works answered honestly, and walked quickly to the hall to greet him. Liu Jian turned sideways, and his father-in-law smiled and humbly conceded a few words, and then walked in front and entered the big house.

After entering the hall, the guests and hosts sat down, and Jin Huan sat on the side, but he could only sit on the lower right.

Father-in-law Xi came first: "Isn't Lord Chun sick?"

"Inside, there are masters to help, but after half an hour, it was replaced. Liu Jian opened his eyes and said nonsense, but Father-in-law Xi, an old Huangmen who has been in the dark for many years, naturally will not be embarrassed in this matter. "Golden Jade Dragon Scepter ......"

"The golden jade dragon staff is still being prepared, don't worry. Lord Chun, although he is not in the court now, but his official position is prominent, he still needs to pay more attention when walking outside, so as not to lose the emperor's face. ”

"What does Father-in-law Xi mean by this?" Liu Jian's face was slightly displeased, "Chun Mou sits upright, does not covet fame, and does not be pedantic. If there is anything embarrassing and conspicuous, I hope that my father-in-law will mention one or two. ”

"Harun-sama misunderstood the meaning of the miscellaneous family. Father-in-law Xi smiled, and put the dust in his hand on the table, "Officials must look like officials when they travel, and honor guards are indispensable." ”

"How can there be so much attention," Liu Jian waved his hand, "The honor guard is still exempted, but the guards are recruiting." I don't know who I offended, and I hired some killers to kill me. Fortunately, I have practiced the style for a few years, otherwise I would not have seen my father-in-law today. ”

Father-in-law Xi lightly spit out a sentence that caught Liu Jian off guard, "Lord Chun's internal breath is just and mellow, with the image of a dragon and a tiger, although there are still flaws, he can be regarded as a first-class master." ”

"Oh?" Liu Jian was a little stunned, he had been practicing the jade forging technique for so long, but he was only seen by his father-in-law today that he was in his possession. But then he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm not a master, I just want to have my own support when I walk outside, relying on heaven and earth, it's better to rely on myself in the end." ”

"I like to listen to what I say," Father-in-law Xi smiled weirdly, and then his voice changed, "All the officials in the capital who are above the top three grades must have Ouchi guards to protect them, but the adults only have official titles and no place to serve, and the Ouchi guards cannot be sent to protect them." ”

"It's okay, I'll just find some guards, and my father-in-law also knows that I am a merchant in Yuecheng, so it's not difficult to find some guards. ”

In this way, the miscellaneous family is relieved, and the emperor is still waiting for the return of the miscellaneous family, so he goes. ”

"I'll send my father-in-law. Liu Jian smiled and sent the big and small yellow doors and several guards out of the mansion, and then Shi Shiran returned to the main house after a few polite times. sent the holy decree to the backyard for Sui Si to hold, and Jin Huan told him a few words on how to refuse the adults of the capital who came to congratulate him, so he was a little anxious to take the fragrance and smell the elegance of Xiao Shuge, and went out to Shifu.

"Brother, will Sister Butterfly Dance forget me?"

Inside the carriage, Shu Ge's eyes were red, but he said such words, and his little face was full of grievances, which made people feel pity.

"How come," Liu Jian smiled and straightened the bangs on her forehead, "If she forgets you, then it won't be my butterfly dance." ”

Shu Ge pouted, "But why didn't Sister Diewu come back to us? Are you angry that you sold her to your family? Or something else." ”

"That's not selling!" Liu Jian was speechless for a moment, "Her family came to look for her, I can't keep her in my hands because of the love of my children, and besides, I just let her live with her family for a few years, and this time I will marry her home and let her go, and I won't let her leave again in this life." ”

Smelling the fragrance and Wenya were silent, but they had the same tacit understanding when they looked at each other. 'If Brother Chun can do this to us, then he will be willing to die. ’

Shu Ge's face darkened, her mother had been living in Fengmanlou, but she hadn't seen her a few times in a few years. Liu Jian also tried to think of a way, but nothing could help.

"Don't worry, you still have me. Liu Jian smiled and took Shu Ge in his arms, unconsciously, the girl's delicate body had begun to develop, which made him a little at a loss, but Shu Ge snuggled up to himself, and did not feel that there was anything wrong with this.

Forget it, let's do it......

When he arrived at Wenfu, Liu Jian rushed inside, but was stopped by the birth of two Tsing Yi nursing homes!

"Stop! Open your eyes and see! This is the mansion of the official department!"

"Oh, I'm tired of the two little brothers going to talk to each other, saying that Brother Chun is visiting. Liu Jian suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly spoke to the two. "Your lord should meet me. ”

The two nurses clasped their hands on their chests and didn't even look at Liu Jian, they were really philistines who fought with people. "Heh, you can see it when you say it?

Liu Jian knew a hint of it, and Wen Xiang and Wen Ya here just jumped out of the carriage, and saw that the two minions stopped Liu Jian, and immediately walked forward quickly, and the jade hand held the ring handle of the soft sword.

"Don't do it. Liu Jian said softly, stretched out his hand and took out a gold medal in his arms, the golden light attracted the attention of the two nursing homes, and thought it was gold used to buy roads, but when he saw the four big words on it clearly, 'walking in the palace', his face suddenly turned pale.

"This token is given by the emperor, and it allows me to walk freely in the palace, can you enter this Shangshu Mansion?"

The two nurses suddenly sweated like rain, "Yes, yes, you can enter, the adults are invited, and the small ones will go to the court." ”

Liu Jian was not too embarrassed, and without waiting for the person to pass through, he walked in quickly, and went straight to the north house of the Kuanzheng compound.

"Coming?" Wen Jin seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, "Sit down, I don't have anything to entertain here, but the tea is enough." ”

"Where's the butterfly dance?" Liu Jian said anxiously to the point, "I want to see her." ”

"What are you anxious about, if you want to marry my daughter, can you prepare a dowry matchmaker?" The clerk said with a smile, and then shook his head and sighed: "I just received the news from her master today, Diewu traveled down the mountain, and now she is eliminating bandits in Shandong, and she has sent someone to find it, so you have to wait a few more days." ”

Liu Jian was poured a basin of cold water on his head, and most of the heat in his heart was instantly extinguished. "Shandong to get rid of bandits, I'll go to find her, can Shuiyue'an send someone to pick her up, it should be easier to contact her in the door." ”

Wen Jin couldn't help but smile, "What are you anxious about, if the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight, but you did it?"

"A hundred years is too long, seize the day. Liu Jian replied lightly, then stood up and bowed to the clerk. "I asked you to take away the butterfly dance that day, and I also wanted her to enjoy a few years of family fun. Lord Wen, Uncle Wen, today I want to propose to you, I don't know if I can agree. ”

Wen Jin smiled and asked, "What about the dowry?"

"Well, back up. ”

"Where's the paperwork?"

"That's what I'm writing now. ”

"Have you ever made a name for yourself?"

"I just received the order from the second-grade official position, with a golden jade dragon staff, supervising hundreds of officials and urging the Son of Heaven. ”

"Do you have a wife and concubine at this time?"

"There are two wives, and Butterfly Dance is a flat wife, and there is no eldest wife. ”

Wen Jin nodded, but agreed, "Then I won't embarrass you, I will set your family affairs today, and I will get married in the capital next year or at the end of this year." After all, Butterfly Dance is already at the age of leaving the cabinet, and it can't be delayed. ”

Liu Jian's face was overjoyed, and he bowed to Wen Jinyao: "Father-in-law Xie!"

"If you want to go to Shandong, it's better to delay for a few days, don't stagger the journey with her. ”

Wen Jin instructed a few times, and having such a son-in-law was enough to make him feel gratified, after all, Liu Jian was a well-known person at this time, whether in the government and the opposition or in the people. At this time, the officials and nobles who have daughters in the family, I don't know how many people have taken a fancy to this Chenglong fast son-in-law, and the invitations and prayers that Jin Huan has blocked in the past few days are like this.

In this era of three wives and four concubines, having the life of parents is the greatest guarantee for marriage, Liu Jian also swept away the haze of the butterfly shadow at this time, and was full of joy to accompany his father-in-law to talk about the world.

When he didn't say much, Wen Jin wanted to leave him for luncheon, and Liu Jian hurriedly responded. During the chat, I learned that my eldest brother was already an official outside, and he started slowly from the local sesame official, after all, his father was a secretary of the ministry, so it was better to avoid suspicion.

As soon as he picked up the chopsticks here, and before he could taste the lunch that was said to be cooked by his mother-in-law herself, Jin Huan's shouts came from the courtyard outside.

"Teacher, the Queen Mother has sent a decree to let you enter the palace immediately to meet you!"

"I'm not available!" Liu Jian took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, but he could only put down his chopsticks depressedly and smiled apologetically at Wen Jin.

Wen Jin nodded peacefully and said to him: "Go, the Queen Mother's decree must not be disrespected, the truth of the monarch and the ministers, but you can tell the officials about it." ”

"Then the son-in-law will go, he will come to the house again in the future, and I will prepare the dowry and documents as soon as possible. ”

Liu Jian retreated, but Wen Jin smiled and nodded, and a middle-aged beautiful dress turned out of the screen behind the hall, but she was the mother of butterfly dance. The couple discussed in a low voice, saying how the son-in-law was ......

"The Queen Mother is looking for me?" Liu Jian glanced at the clothes on his body, but he didn't need to change more, "You go back first, and I'll go and see you myself." And he didn't forget to say, "Be careful on the road." ”
