Chapter 702: Leaving Beijing
(Thanks to the book friend 6655665 for the monthly pass, and thanks to the Wild Crane Taoist for the reward.) )
Time flies, and it is late June, which is the hottest season of the year.
And Su Jin also completed the formalities for going to the post, Wang Chao and others also received the military talisman from the Ministry of War, Yan Biyun carefully calculated and took out three million yuan for Su Jin to accompany him, and opened a silver village in Weizhou mainly to solve the military salaries of the imperial court in the northwest and the salaries of officials on the spot, and there was no pursuit in other aspects.
Originally, the soldiers, horses and officials stationed in various parts of Qinfeng Road were only 600,000 guan in ten years, and the reason why they brought enough 3 million guan was because it was difficult to transport back and forth, and it was not safe.
The Third Division and the Privy Council also accompanied a large number of military supplies, since Su Jin went to his post and was escorted by 500 horse troops, then with the officers and soldiers escorted by this batch of materials and thousands of people, this journey should be completely safe.
Su Jin is boss is reluctant to go on the same road with these baggage, because since he is on the same road, he will inevitably have to bear the burden, and the baggage travels slowly, and it will take thousands of miles on the way, and I am afraid that it will take at least ten days and half a month to complete.
But the situation is compelling, I have to do it, and these weapons, grain and grass and other materials are also related to the war situation in the northwest, and after I go to Weizhou to take office, I will inevitably deal with the Ordnance Department and the Third Division in the future, and it is better to have a good relationship with them.
The entourage at home has been finalized, the dynasty Ma Han Zhang Long Zhao Hu was named the head of the Ma army, so naturally he wanted to follow, originally Su Jin wanted one or two of them to guard at home, but now they are in the soup; Fortunately, there were several good hands among Yan Biyun's original guards, and Yan Biyun went back to her parents' house to ask Yan Shu to become the head of the Su Mansion's courtyard, which made Su Jin feel at ease.
Among the female dependents, Yan Biyun must not follow, and the business matters are secondary, mainly because she has been pregnant for more than three months, and her stomach is like leavened flour on the cage drawer, and she bulges when she sees it, and she can't hold it down; The body is weak, and it can't withstand the ups and downs along the way.
Moreover, everyone talked about the discoloration of the northwest, saying that even the water for washing their faces was pumped out of the deep underground wells, and the wild sand in the sky was long, the wind was like a knife, and the sun was molting during the day, but it was cold to the bone marrow at night; Whether it's true or not, Su Jin can't take Yan Biyun with him.
Xiao Sui'er is not afraid of heaven and earth, Su Jin has the heart to let her serve Yan Biyun at home, she is smart and clever, and she can also help Yan Biyun run errands, but this little girl is unwilling to live or die, even if Su Jin scares her that she will be as black as a coal digger, she will follow her.
Originally, Yan Biyun also asked Su Jin to take Rou Niang or Huan Niang to serve, but Su Jin rejected her proposal, and the two sisters and Xiao Xian'er still stayed by Yan Biyun's side.
Everything is ready, one day at the end of June, the night before leaving, Su Zhai held a family banquet for Su Jin to practice; Mrs. Wang came out and sat for a while and then went back to the room to rest, Su Jin knew that Mrs. Wang was sad and wanted to leave home again, but she tried not to show it in front of everyone, and she didn't know how to wipe her tears when she went back to the room this time.
For the upcoming parting, everyone was a little helpless, and the atmosphere at the banquet was a little dull; Yan Biyun naturally knew that everyone was reluctant to let Su Jin leave, and after being relieved, she asked Rou Niang and Huan Niang to sing a tune to liven up the atmosphere.
The two sisters Rou Niang and Huanniang actually didn't have the heart to sing at all, Su Jin didn't know when she would come back, she was used to him by her side, and she relied on him for everything, and her heart was suddenly empty.
But the young lady spoke, and the two sisters couldn't refuse, so one stroked the piano and the other sang a song "Pipa Xing".
"If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and when you are drunk, you will be immersed in the moon,...... The businessman valued profit over parting, and the day before yesterday Fuliang bought tea and went to ......"
Su Jin rolled his eyes, originally to enliven the atmosphere, this song is so mournful, it makes life and death parting, and there is a faint hint of scolding Huai, as if he is the copper-smelling businessman who values profit and light parting, which is really depressing.
Yan Biyun covered her mouth and was happy, as smart as she naturally knew what the two sisters were thinking, so after the two sisters finished singing, she personally got up and poured wine for them; Rou Niang and Huanniang hurriedly thanked her, Yan Biyun is a young lady, she can no longer talk and laugh casually like before, there is a difference in identity, there is a difference in respect and inferiority, not to mention that her sisters don't even have a name until now.
Yan Biyun said with a smile: "The two sisters sing very well, while the husband is still at home tonight, there is something I want to discuss with the two sisters." ”
Rou Niang hurriedly smiled: "Sister Yan is so polite, what do you tell my sister to do." ”
Yan Biyun chuckled: "Okay, I discussed with the old lady that day, and the prime minister was not present, but he will never object to this matter, and he is talking about the status of your two sisters." ”
Rou Niang and Huan Niang blushed, and Rou Niang stomped her feet and said, "What did my sister say?" ”
Yan Biyun smiled: "Don't you want to? If you don't want to, forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, and you don't have to ask people to say that we are going to marry a people's daughter, then we will be wronged. ”
Rou Niang and Huan Niang didn't follow each other, Yan Biyun made fun of her sisters, knowing that she was one hundred and twenty willing, but she wanted to laugh at people with this.
"Dumbfounded, don't you come out to say a word at this time?" Yan Biyun pushed Su Jin, and Su Jin woke up like a dream, and said busily: "Yes, yes, this thing should have been done a long time ago, and I don't know the specific operation, Sister Yan will help handle it." ”
Yan Biyun said with a smile: "Naturally, you have to marry in a serious way, the scenery is lively, the two sisters are also from the family of the eunuchs, but they can't be sloppy, the slave family first wrote the marriage book and set the name, to choose a good day, the husband came back to Beijing to report or had a provincial holiday just to do it together." ”
Rou Niang and Huanniang bowed down with tears in their eyes, Yan Biyun was generous and open-minded in the end, and the eldest woman was asking for a concubine for her husband, I am afraid that no one would believe it.
"Sister Yan, the slave sisters have a request, I hope Gongzi and Sister Yan will allow it." Huanniang said softly.
Su Jin said: "Just say anything, it's all your own family, why is this atmosphere so awkward today." ”
Huanniang said: "My sister and I are naturally from the Su family, and we have nothing else to think of in this life except to serve the old lady and the son-in-law and sister Yan; Sister Yan can think about my sister, and my sister is grateful to her heart; My sister and I discussed it privately, and naturally asked for a name, but the marriage has to wait until I find my father, and my father may still be alive, and my son said that he would send someone to inquire, if it is indeed not alive, then that's fine; But if my daughter gets married and my father is not there, it is really a pity for my sister, and my father will be sad. ”
Yan Biyun glanced at Su Jin, and Su Jin said: "That's right, don't worry, after I went to Weizhou to settle down, I sent someone to Yizhou to inquire about the news, and I will definitely reply to you. ”
Rou Niang and Huan Niang were overjoyed, the two sisters knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Jin and Yan Biyun, Su Jin quickly helped the two of them up, and blamed: "What is this doing, our family doesn't have so many rules." ”
Yan Biyun said with a smile: "Okay, now the big stone in my heart has settled, I just pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and I don't know if someone heard it." ”
Su Jin smiled: "I don't know, I ask for compensation and sing a song." ”
Rou Niang blushed and said, "What are you singing?" ”
Su Jin said: "The parting is not so miserable, people say that the little farewell is better than the newlywed, and the parting is for a sweeter reunion." ”
Huanniang said: "Then there is only "Queqiao Immortal" that sings Gongziye." ”
Everyone applauded, so the two sisters sat down again, one stroked the piano and the other sang: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man crosses the ...... If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”
Su Jin held the wine glass, his eyes wandered back and forth on the delicate bodies of the two sisters, and inadvertently met the affectionate gaze cast by the two, and immediately stuck together, entangled.
After Su Jin settled Yan Biyun that night, he had the courage to call Huanniang and Rouniang sisters together, and when they parted, they were naturally extremely crazy, and the two sisters were killed and brought back to life by Su Jin's various tricks, and finally admitted defeat from exhaustion.
The high-spirited Su Jin touched Xiao Xian'er's bed again, tossed the long-legged beauty, and when the sky was about to dawn, Su Jin stopped; The waist and back are faintly sore, and I don't feel that I am a man in ancient times, but the consumption is indeed not small, and in the future, it will be for sexual happiness, and I must exercise diligently and take care of my body, otherwise I will really respond to the vulgar saying called 'Wangcha empty tears'.
After sleeping for less than an hour, Su Jin got up, finished freshening up, went to Mrs. Wang's room to say goodbye, and went out of the house surrounded by everyone.
Wang Dynasty Ma Han and others led the 500 horse army to prepare the things and things, and the large group of men and horses went out of the West Gate, and the officials of the Third Division who were waiting outside the West Gate to escort grain and grass materials and the officers of the Weapons Department of the Ministry of War escorted weapons and materials.
More than a dozen officials who had been friends came to see him off, and there was Xia Zhu among them, which made Su Jin really add a layer of guard.
Yan Shu pulled Su Jin and said: "Fan Shuai and Han Shuai in the northwest, as well as Lord Wang Yan who has appeased and recruited Wang Yan on the original road, I have already greeted in advance, I will go to the northwest to listen to the teachings of the three adults, and it is no big deal to act carefully, do not act rashly, where is the border, Weizhou is the front line, you have to be careful." ”
Su Jin nodded yes, and because the other officials said goodbye one by one, they comforted Yan Biyun and Rou Niang, who were crying like tears, and turned around to get on the horse and start; Suddenly, Xia Zhu stepped forward quickly and said to Su Jin: "Master Su, take a step to speak." ”
Su Jin followed Xia Zhu to the side of the road and stood still, Xia Zhu stared at Su Jin for a long time, and suddenly said softly: "Su Jin, the old man knows that Ling'er is in your hands, you don't have to quibble, the old man knows that you will not admit it; In fact, there is no evidence in the hands of the old man, but Ling'er is my beloved daughter, and the old man only asks you to be kind to her, as for the matter between you and me, it should not involve others; In the officialdom, there are some things that have to be done, even if you and I are in the future when the situation is in full swing, the old man still has to ask you to treat her well, because she is indeed sincere to you. ”
Su Jin couldn't say more than half a sentence, who knew if this old fox was playing his own words, and when he heard the words, he just hugged his fists and said: "Deputy Envoy Xia, I remember this, and I can't promise anything else, but for Ling Ai, I, Su Jin, am also sincere, and Deputy Envoy Xia can rest assured." ”
Xia Zhu knew that Su Jin would never admit it, sighed and hugged his fist to wish Su Jin a smooth journey, Su Jin bowed his hand in return, turned around and turned over on the horse, waved goodbye to everyone, and urged the horses to order the team to set off slowly.
