Chapter 981: Marriage Selection
About half an hour later, Xu Jin and Li Yanwen walked out of Yang's Mansion together, and after getting into the carriage, Xu Jin finally couldn't help but ask, "Imperial Doctor Li, ...... Yang Ge Lao's illness?" ”
Li Yanwen sighed lightly and said: "As the so-called illness is afraid of being nameless, sores are afraid of being famous." Yang Ge Lao was suffering from the famous back sore, which has completely deteriorated now, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, I am afraid that he will not be able to recover from it. ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel gloomy when he heard this, in fact, the moment he saw Yang Yiqing at the door, he intuitively felt that the other party's life was not long in coming.
Obviously, Yang Yiqing also felt that the limit was approaching, so he took the opportunity of giving words to alert Xu Jin, he should be worried that after his death, no one would suppress Xu Jin, and Xu Jin would become a powerful minister who could do whatever he wanted. However, Xu Jin replied with two sentences of Wen Tianxiang's "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of the sweat and sweat" to show his heart, which made Yang Ge feel a lot more at ease.
"How long can Elder Yang Ge live?" Xu Jin was silent for a moment and then asked.
Li Yanwen and Xu Jin are also old friends, and it was he who helped let go of the besieged Bing Niu'er and others in Shandong, so in front of Xu Jin, Li Yanwen had nothing to taboo, and said bluntly: "It is estimated that it will not be a month." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this, he was going to leave for Nanjing the day after tomorrow, but he couldn't wait to send Yang Ge Lao on his last journey. Yang Yiqing is fair, fair, but not conformist, if he can be in charge of the cabinet for a few more years, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity!
Xu Jin felt sorry, took the curtain of the car and ordered: "Go to Mingshifang!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The coachman turned his horse's head and drove the carriage towards Ming Shifang.
As soon as he finished visiting Yang Ge Lao, who was really ill, Xu Jin planned to treat Yan Langzhong, who was fake sick, by the way. Yan Song was still alive and well when he participated in the Spring Ploughing Festival ceremony a few days ago, but he asked for sick leave in a blink of an eye and didn't go to court early, which is too coincidental, Xu Jin absolutely didn't believe it, it is estimated that this guy just wants to use his illness not to go to sea with him to quell the rebellion.
Moreover, the more Yan Song is like this, the more Xu Jin suspects the reason for the rebellion of Wang Zhi's father and son, so no matter whether Yan Song is really sick or fake, the day after tomorrow he will order someone to put Yan Song on the ship heading south, and will never allow this traitor to get out of his own monitoring range.
Soon, the carriage came to the gate of the Yan Mansion in Ming Shifang, and Xu Jin and Li Yanwen got out of the carriage and knocked on the door of the Yan Mansion.
"Who? The door of the Yan Mansion is also something you can knock on casually? A porter dressed in a housekeeper's costume opened the door, held his head high, and shouted arrogantly without even looking at it.
Xu Jin said lightly: "This official is looking for Yan Song!" ”
The housekeeper, whose eyes were always looking at the sky at forty-five degrees, looked down viciously as if he had been pricked by a needle, and scolded: "I, where did I come from, my lord's name...... Grunt! ”
As soon as the scolding words were halfway said, he swallowed them back, like a crowing rooster that was grabbed by the neck, and stared directly at Xu Jin's crimson official robe, and the front of the official robe was clearly embroidered with a spirited brocade chicken, this is a dignified second-grade official uniform, and only the Shangshu level is qualified to wear it!
The family's eyes seemed to be about to pop out, his face was swollen and red, and his whole body trembled like a sieve. The groom who drove the car for Xu Jin couldn't help but joke: "Your master's name is Gollum, or is it a dog?" ”
The family was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed violently and said: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't choose his words, so the adults will spare the little ones!" ”
This family is the concierge of Yan Mansion who is responsible for guarding the door, his name is Yan San, during this time Yan Song was out of the limelight, frequently summoned by the emperor, and there were signs of favor, so there were really a lot of officials who came to Yan Mansion to offer courtesy, and Yan San also received a lot of filial piety as a porter, so he became more and more arrogant, and he hit the iron plate today.
Xu Jin didn't bother to worry about a family member, and said coldly: "Go and report to your master, just say that this official Xu Jin is visiting!" ”
Hearing that the famous Xu in front of him was beheaded, Yan San almost lost all his butt hair, and rushed in to report it. Li Yanwen couldn't help frowning, just as the so-called glimpse knows the whole leopard, the concierge tutor of the Yan Mansion is so unbearable, as the master, I am afraid it will not be much better.
Before the tea was ready, the tall and thin Yan Song came out with a rolling belt, followed by a one-eyed fat man who was rolling and crawling, and it was Yan Shifan.
"Lord Xu came to the cold house, and the lower officials have lost their welcome, and they have lost their welcome!" Yan Song walked to the front and saluted Xu Jin with sincere fear.
"Student meets Master Xu!" Yan Shifan also smiled and saluted Xu Jin, if it weren't for the white one-eyed that affected the perception, this fat man looked quite cute, his smile was harmless to humans and animals, and he was very affinity.
Xu Jin pretended to be surprised and said: "I heard that Lord Yan is sick, and the official specially came to visit, and also invited Imperial Doctor Li, but now it seems that Lord Yan does not look like he is sick." ”
Yan Song glanced at Li Yanwen, who was carrying the medicine box on his back, and said with a wry expression: "Xiaguan occasionally felt a cold a few days ago, and after taking the medicine, he has been well today, and Lord Lao Xu is bothered!" ”
Xu Jin nodded and said: "This is very good, I will go south the day after tomorrow, and the official is still worried that Lord Yan will be ill and cannot expect to travel!" ”
Yan Song's eyes flashed, and he said cautiously: "Lord Xu, I'm afraid that Xia Guan really can't go to sea with your lord this time to exterminate the traitors Wang Zhi's father and son." ”
"Oh? Could it be that Lord Yan's illness is not yet well, Imperial Doctor Li, give Lord Yan a diagnosis and treatment. Xu Jin said calmly.
Yan Song hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, Lord Xu has a good intention, Xia Guan has a heart, Xia Guan's illness is already cured, and there is no need for further diagnosis and treatment." ”
Xu Jinton's face sank and said, "In that case, why can't Lord Yan go to Dongying with this official?" Do you want to disobey the king's orders? ”
"How dare Xiaguan, it's just that Xiaguan just received the order of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered Xiaguan to serve as the marriage envoy of Her Royal Highness Princess Yongfu, so Xiaguan can't go to sea with Lord Xu to quell the rebellion." Yan Song's face was full of regret, but a flash of pride flashed under his eyes!
Xu Jin's face changed slightly, and he blurted out: "The Queen Mother ordered you to be the marriage envoy?" When did the official not know about it? ”
Yan Shifan said hesitantly: "I received the Empress Dowager's decree an hour ago, if Lord Xu doesn't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire!" ”
Xu Jin frowned, this matter is true without asking, because even if Yan Song is given ten dares, he will not dare to pretend that there is a queen mother's decree.
"No need, since this is the case, the official will not bother, farewell!" After Xu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage and left.
"Since Lord Xu is here, it is better to go into the mansion and sit down, and the lower officials will be as good as the landlord!" Yan Song said loudly and pretendedly.
Seeing Xu Jin's carriage leave without stopping, Yan Song's father and son glanced at each other with relief, and they couldn't hide the triumph on their faces.
"Fortunately, I have to help with a long time, otherwise how could this errand fall on my father." Yan Song said triumphantly.
Yan Shifan turned his eyes slyly and said: "Xu Jin is so persistent in taking his father to the sea to quell the rebellion, it is estimated that he is suspicious of his father, and his father should be careful." ”
Yan Song was not calm at once, the reason why Wang Zhi's father and son rebelled at the beginning, he did play a disgraceful role in it, if Xu Jin caught the handle, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"My son in the East Building, what should I do as a father?" Yan Song said worriedly.
A cold light flashed in Yan Shifan's eyes, and he smiled: "Father doesn't have to worry too much. As the saying goes, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. The sea is changing, Wang Zhi's father and son are not easy to match, and it is difficult to say whether Xu Jin can return safely! ”
Yan Song's heart moved, and he said pretendedly: "That's what I said, I hope that our Lord Xu will be auspicious, and destroy the traitors of Wang Zhi's father and son, and return smoothly and triumphantly!" ”
