Chapter 139: Goodbye Wan Yutong
When the soldier saw the gold in his hand, he was immediately furious: "Bold, I guard the gate for the governor, and I am trusted by the governor, and you have bought me by such filthy means? As I said, the Governor is not in the palace, and if you are messing around here again, don't blame me for having you all arrested and put you in prison!" Why don't you go back quickly? ”
Lu Xuanbo hurriedly pulled Zhao Junsheng away, Zhao Jun was angry, and he was furious: "How important are military supplies and grass?" It was a grave dereliction of duty that he, a quartermaster, had not been working at the official residence for several days! After going back, the official must show my military master and let him participate in a copy to the imperial court! ”
Lu Xuanbo's face changed greatly, he immediately covered Zhao Junsheng's mouth, dragged him away, and apologized to the sentry at the gate of the mansion again and again: "I'm sorry for the military master, my captain got up in the morning and ate too much wine, and he was already drunk and unconscious, please don't blame me!" ”
"It turned out to be a drunkard, and Lao Tzu had been talking to him for so long, get out of here!" The sentry looked disgusted, waving and scolding like a fly.
Lu Xuanbo hurriedly pulled Zhao Junsheng away.
In the quartermaster's residence, a rather obese middle-aged official was practicing calligraphy at his desk, and the soldier who had just driven Zhao Junsheng and others away walked into the study and reported to the middle-aged official: "Master, they are gone!" ”
As Tuoba Song's son-in-law, Dabo Xinyi's official career has always been smooth. The Dabo tribe is only a small tribe among the Xianbei tribes, with few people and not strong enough soldiers and horses, but who let him have a powerful father-in-law?
Dabo Xinyi stopped writing when he heard this, and sighed: "Finally left, Tuoba Ye's favor is not easy to take!" ”
The soldier hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master, if they come again tomorrow······
Dabo thought for a while and instructed the soldiers: "Delay them for another day tomorrow, tell them that the official will come back the morning after tomorrow, let them bring the official documents and the list of grain and grass supplies to the governor's palace, and let their carriages and horses go directly to the door of the treasury and wait." Hey, this is already the limit of what the official can do, if it drags on any longer, once Wandu returns to the truth afterwards and impeaches the official because of this matter, the official will not have enough reason to explain! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Junsheng was dragged away by Lu Xuanbo to break free from Lu Xuanbo's control, glaring at him angrily and shouting: "What are you pulling me for?" There must be something wrong with this Dabo Xinyi, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he, a quartermaster, dares to not be in the official residence for several days to handle official business! ”
Lu Xuanbo smiled bitterly: "Young Master, if I hadn't pulled you and let you do nonsense, we would have been arrested and locked up in prison now." I also see something wrong with this, we don't have a grudge against this quartermaster, right? ”
"Young master, I haven't seen him in eight lifetimes, where can I have a grudge against him?" Zhao Junsheng walked forward with a depressed face.
Lu Xuanbo followed him, frowning: "That's weird······ Dabo Xinyi shouldn't embarrass the young master for no reason, is it because the young master didn't give him filial piety? ”
Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "Definitely won't be like this, if he has such a need, he will definitely see me, if he doesn't say it in person, at least he will hint at it, right?" But he can't see me, so it's not a matter of sending filial piety! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Junsheng wiped his eyes and looked around in the crowd in front of him.
Lu Xuanbo saw that he seemed to be looking for someone, "Young Master, who are you looking for?" ”
"I seem to have seen an acquaintance!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he immediately quickened his pace and walked forward.
After looking around, Zhao Junsheng finally saw a familiar figure in front of a steamed bun shop, walked over and shouted, "Xiaocui! ”
The woman in front of the bun shop turned her head when she heard this, sure enough, it was Xiao Cui, she saw Zhao Junsheng, and her face also showed a surprised expression: "Zhao joins the army, you ······ Why are you here? Still wearing a suit of armor? ”
"I arrived in Jinling a few days ago, and now I am still working under General Wan, serving as the captain of the baggage army, responsible for escorting grain and grass! Why are you here? Could it be ······ Your young lady also lives in this Shanwu county? ”
"yes······"
"I ······ Can you visit your young lady? If I don't visit her, if she finds out afterwards, she may blame me! Zhao Junsheng asked.
Xiaocui knew some things about Wan Yutong and Zhao Junsheng, she didn't want Zhao Junsheng to meet Wan Yutong, but she knew that since Zhao Junsheng came here, he would meet Wan Yutong sooner or later, and when Wan Yutong knew that she was the one who got in the way and prevented them from meeting, she would definitely blame her.
“······ Well, it's not far, I'll take you! Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
As they spoke, they walked forward side by side.
After walking for less than a cup of tea, Zhao Junsheng, Lu Xuanbo and others followed Xiaocui to the door of an ordinary courtyard, but there were two fierce soldiers standing guard at the door.
"You're waiting outside!" Zhao Junsheng called out to Lu Xuanbo and the others, and followed Xiaocui into the courtyard.
The sound of chirping birds came from the courtyard, and Wan Yutong, dressed in a white mink cloak, was sitting by the fire in front of the window embroidering, meticulous with every stitch and thread, and his expression was extremely focused.
The footsteps sounded, Wan Yutong didn't look up, she still kept embroidering, she knew that it must be Xiaocui who came back, and asked, "Xiaocui, what are you eating this morning?" ”
"The slave maid cooked gruel and bought steamed buns······ Who do you see coming? Xiao Cui asked with a smile as she stood in the courtyard.
Wan Yutong thought that Wandu had returned, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's Grandpa who is back, right?" I've got a little bit left to embroider! ”
No one answered outside.
Wan Yutong's long eyelashes blinked, and he slowly raised his head, the expression on his face did not change, but his eyes showed surprise, and he immediately got up and walked to the door to look at Zhao Junsheng.
At this time, Wan Yutong in Zhao Junsheng's eyes was dressed in a leather fur, with a delicate hairstyle, beautiful and refined, and the whole person looked like a fairy in a picture, but on her feet she was wearing a pair of shoes (slippers), and her exposed feet were wrapped in white footcloths.
Zhao Junsheng smiled slightly and clenched his fists: "In less than two months, we met again, and we have seen Miss below!" ”
Wan Yutong pursed his lips, tried his best to control his emotions and ordered Xiao Cui: "Xiao Cui, please join the army Zhao and send some tea and snacks!" ”
"Yes! Zhao Duwei, Miss, please come in! ”
"Thank you!"
On a low table, Zhao Junsheng and Wan Yutong knelt facing each other, the teapot on the small charcoal stove next to them was steaming, and the water was boiling and tumbling.
Wan Yutong wrapped the handle of the teapot in a rag and brewed tea in two teacups, handing one of the cups over.
"You ······" Both spoke at the same time.
Zhao Junsheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Miss, let's talk first!" ”
Wan Yutong took a sip of tea, calmed down his emotions, and asked, "Why did you come here, and you look like you're still in the army?" ”
"Yes, I received an order within a few days of you on the road, and I walked all the way for more than a month, and I am still under your father's command now, but this time I was promoted, that is, I did some work to escort grain and grass materials!"
"Looks like my father should have transferred you, right?" Wan Yutong nodded, "How do you know I live here?" ”
Zhao Junsheng smiled, revealing his white teeth: "You guessed right, and with Ling Zun's appreciation, I was appointed as the captain of the baggage army." This time, I brought troops from Jinling to escort a batch of grain and grass back, and I have been in Shanwu County for several days, and the brothers are all in the camp outside the city. Just now I went to the quartermaster Dabo Xinyi to get the approval, and I ate a closed door again, and when I turned around and was about to go back to the camp, I met Xiaocui, only then did I know that you actually live in Shanwu County, and we passed by here half a month ago! ”
"I see!" Wan Yutong said and smiled, "I didn't expect us to meet again, I thought we would never meet again in our lives!" ”
"Maybe that's fate!"
Wan Yutong was very happy in his heart, but he remembered Zhao Junsheng's words just now, and asked, "Why haven't you received the grain and grass materials yet?" Why do you eat behind closed doors? The Quartermaster Governor's refusal to distribute grain and grass materials caused an accident in the army due to the shortage of grain and grass, which is a big crime! ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng was furious, and said quite angrily: "I have been going every day for the past few days, and the doorman of the Quartermaster Governor's Mansion has said every time that Da Bo Xinyi has not returned from a business trip, and he is not in the official residence, so I don't understand what official duties he has as a quartermaster general than distributing grain and grass materials!" ”
Wan Yutong's eyes widened when he heard this: "No, I also visited Dabo Xinyi's daughter Turinger yesterday afternoon, and Dabo Xinyi was in the mansion at that time!" ”
