One hundred and thirty-four, the road sacrifice
Xue Pan had already prepared food and medicine to relieve the heat and put it in the carriage, beware of Daiyu's excessive sadness and heatstroke, Mama Wang said this, and as soon as she let her head go, Daiyu's face was revealed in the carriage, "Brother Pan," Daiyu nodded and said, "I'm fine here, don't worry." ”
"After today, my sister will rest for a few days, and now I will cheer up, and I must take care of Mrs. Aunt's funeral."
As soon as Xue Pan said this, Lai Xing'er, who Jia Lian took in front, went to the back and said: "Uncle! The salt transport made the adults set up a reed shed road sacrifice in front of them! ”
Daiyu lowered the car curtain, Xue Pan turned his head to look at Lai Xing'er, and said lightly, "What is he doing here?" It's inexplicable! ”
Where did the Shangguan personally come to place a memorial service? This is completely inconsistent with the etiquette in the officialdom, Qin Keqing went out of the funeral in the dream of Red Mansions, and the King of Beijing just happened to pass by to see the people in Jia's mansion, and ordered the chief historian to be the road sacrifice on his behalf, Rao is like this, Jia Zhen housekeeping and others are sincerely afraid to bow down and thank you, not to mention that Yang Belun came in person like this, do you want Xue Pan and Lin Ruhai to kneel and worship?
This is really a dream, Xue Pan shouted angrily, "It's really going back the more you live!" Tell the second master to tell him, ask him to take care of himself, don't pestle here, if there is anything important in the future, I will talk about it later! ”
The long queue of funerals is slowly advancing, Yang Belun's reed shed is still far away, so it is just a report in advance, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but secretly sigh, and hurriedly went to the front to pray, and when Xing'er left, Xue Pan turned his head to look at Daiyu's carriage, the curtain of the carriage had been closed, and the other person in the carriage, the tall Wang Mama seemed to know Xue Pan's thoughts, and opened the curtain again, "Although it is the weather in September, it is still very hot, and the girl is breathable." ”
Xue Panfu and Daiyu gossiped again, Daiyu saw Xue Pan riding a big horse to accompany him on the side, the sky was full of white paper, like heavy snow flying down, Xue Pan smiled, but there was a solemn look, talking to herself, she suddenly only felt that her eyes were sour, and she couldn't help but lower her head and rub her eyes with her hands, "Girl, don't be sad," the tall Wang Mama said with a big grin, "Hurry up and recuperate, and I'll be busy later." ”
Xue Pan also nodded, "Yes, sister, hurry up and close your eyes and rest, what's the matter!" ”
Daiyu heard that Xue Pan's tone was not very good, so she raised her head and looked outside, and saw Xing'er coming to the side to say again: "Lord Yang said that he wanted to talk to his uncle or aunt about something important." ”
"Come on, I'll go see it, this person is really annoying," Xue Pan shook his head, let Li Zhang pull the reins of his horse, and walked quickly to the front, on both sides of the team, all the salt merchants were sacrificing on the road, Xue Pan held his head high, and did not pay attention to the crowd at all, and when he arrived at the place of the first shot, the salt transport envoy had already set up a reed shed at the door of the yamen, Xue Pan got off the horse, and Yang Belun greeted him at the middle gate, this is in the public outside, he can't help but give Yang Belun face, Xue Pan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, got off the carriage and prepared to kneel down to thank him, The Qingke on both sides hurriedly stopped, and Yang Belun walked down the steps, "Lord Xue, why should you be polite," Yang Belun saw that Xue Pan was going to call a thousand people again, and helped Xue Pan's hand, "We are all our own family." ”
"Although Lord Yang is polite to Lord Lin, it is not appropriate to come to pay tribute in person today," Xue Pan said lightly, "Please go back, I have good intentions." ”
"Yes, it's just that the official has something to tell you, Master Xue," Yang Belun looked left and right, and whispered to Xue Pan, "The emperor's holy will came down, but he reprimanded the old man." ”
"Oh?" Xue Pan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it Mingfa?" ”
"It's Zhu Pi, not Mingfa."
"Since it's not Mingfa, it doesn't matter," Xue Pan was originally an officialdom Bai Ding, but under the words and deeds of Jia Yucun, Zhen Yingjia, and Lin Ruhai, the three people in the officialdom, there is no need to teach it carefully, just mention a few words, Xue Pan is very old-fashioned, Mingfa The will of the world is to show the emperor's attitude, if Yang Bailun is scolded like this, he can directly ask for resignation, but if it is Zhu Criticism, he just sent it back to me to see, at most, the Secretary for Political Affairs has done it, no one will officially know such a scandal, of course, Rumors are unavoidable, but at least there can be ostriches who are casual and have nothing to do, besides, which one of the officials has not been reprimanded by the emperor on the fold, he sneered, "What is Lord Yang worried about?" This official position is kept, and if the saint wants to remove Lord Yang from the official, he will naturally make an order. ”
This is the same as what Qingke said, but Yang Belun is here, he is in this official uniform, and he has struggled for half his life, so he has the red robe of a third-grade master to wear, and he cares about it, so he is a little uneasy, "Do you still have to do it before that." ”
"Naturally, it has to be done," Xue Pan took the folding fan from Zhen'er's hand behind him and fanned the wind, "Lord Yang naturally knows that Jian is in the heart of the emperor, it is better to do more merits, how rich the salt merchants of Lianghuai are, you don't know, such rich salt merchants, let their silver be wasted and squandered, it is better to collect all the brains, and don't have so much money with the reassignment, as long as the water flows every year, it is better to get better, and Lord Yang's official position is naturally as stable as Mount Tai." ”
Yang Belen asked: "Is this what Uncle Ling means to make an adult?" ”
Xue Pan smiled and didn't answer, "I can only represent my own meaning, Lord Yang, it's up to you whether you listen or not," Xue Pan originally wanted to deal with these shameless salt merchants, but Lin Ruhai said forget it, and he didn't want to pursue the matter anymore, but Xue Pan was the most cautious and would repay it, such a grievance could not be passed after a sentence, but he was not suitable to deal with those people again, after all, Jia Yucun had already persuaded him privately, it doesn't matter if he does errands, but he doesn't leave room for people, and if he offends people in death, it's not good, so I can't let him take the lead by himself, there are ready-made people who can help, why do you take it yourself, "But I want to tell the truth, Lord Lin doesn't think about your position, but maybe others will think about your position, if you don't do something real, I'm afraid it's this Yangzhou Fengyue, and the adults won't be able to see it for long." ”
Yang Belen nodded and made up his mind, "I have counted, I will definitely do this beautifully." ”
"Then I'll take my leave," Xue Pan arched his hand, "You should also leave quickly, if you let Lord Lin come over to salute, it is not appropriate, right?" ”
"Yes," Yang Belun lost his sharpness and couldn't raise his head at all in front of Xue Pan, "Then please ask Lord Lin and Lord Xue to do their own thing." ”
