Chapter 229: A private visit to Weifu
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Xu Hao changed into a snow-white scribe robe embroidered with the snow map of Songshan Mountain by the eldest sister, and put on a mandarin duck purple jade gold bag made by Ning Xue herself, a delicate concentric knot wrapped with five-color velvet on the top, and a colorful tassel of pearls strung below.
Xu Hao couldn't put it down, and put the jade bag close to his body, for fear of losing it, and hung the white jade belt around his waist with a stitch and a sachet sewn out by Zhiqing when she had nothing to do.
Sure enough, it was a person who relied on clothes and horses to rely on the saddle, looking at the fluttering and turbid Shijia Gongzi in front of him, and reverted to the original Fengshen like jade temperament, Zhiqing happily combed his long hair for him and tied a piece of white jade, and patted his little hands with satisfaction.
Xu Hao asked, "Did you say that this body exceeded its identity?" ”
Zhiqing smiled and stretched the vocal line, and said with a coquettish smile: "No, it's not Ayaluo, it's Zhu Zi, it's not an official uniform, it's nothing more than jade, like a dashing talent." ”
Xu Hao deliberately raised his head and said proudly: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is like jade, who deserves to bring jade if I don't bring jade, isn't it?" ”
"Really, how can you boast about yourself?" Zhiqing covered her mouth and chuckled, and pouted her lips for no reason, "I only know now that the gentleman hates the most, and what the sister-in-law of the Xue family said is not true at all." ”
Xu Hao said with a smile: "Women are always duplicitous. You said that we have both been guarding like jade for all these years, is it just a year and a half away? Persistence is victory, and it's good for you and me. ”
Zhiqing suddenly said cautiously: "What are you talking about!" Oops, let's go. ”
Xu Hao smiled and walked out first, Zhiqing probably resented that she had been living alone outside for a month and had not fought with her sideburns. There is no way, how can you not be a beast when you sleep in the same room with her every night? And the Mu family has its own rules of the Mu family, and after following her for so long, how can the Mu family not be suspicious after she goes back? Once it is found out that the loss of body is not a trivial matter, God knows what will happen? Xu Hao didn't want to be impulsive and lose a big one because of a small one.
Mu Chun has always been a family leader in military law, and he is famous for turning his face and not recognizing people. What if you want to take Zhiqing to kill chickens and monkeys as an example for yourself? Xu Hao believes that the Mu family will definitely be able to do it, no matter what the reason, the life of the daughter of a mere family general as a maid has no guarantee at all in this era.
Xu Hao naturally wouldn't be sinister about Zhiqing, in fact, he still had a layer of concerns, that is, he was worried that Mrs. Mu would change her mind for the sake of the family, you must know that the world is unpredictable, and you can be careless if you think that the relationship is good, there are many people who can marry Ning Xue in this world, no matter what, at least he can't leave an excuse for the Mu family.
When Xu Hao took Zhiqing to Shuiyue Temple in a green oil car. I saw that the three dogs of Jinling were tied up and kneeling on the ground, and they were full of scoundrels in front and back.
Li Qiu and Mu Hui gathered with people and showed the bronze medal to the captain of the brocade guard who was served by ordinary people, and the captain immediately bowed down and retreated.
In front of Qiuzi Bridge, the white-haired Fang Xiaoru's face was pale, and Zhu Yunwen, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, had a very unsightly face, while Xu Ji's nose on the side was crooked, and he was holding an embroidered spring knife with murderous energy.
Xu Hao smiled secretly in his heart, stepped out of the car and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Mu Hui walked over and said in a low voice, "The imperial grandson and Mr. Fang first went to the nearby Baiyun Temple. The ladies of the Fang family and your second brother's concubines will come first, and these guys will block people, and your uncle will immediately order everyone to be arrested. ”
Xu Hao asked knowingly: "Why don't you clear the venue in advance?" ”
Mu Hui smiled strangely: "Do you still need to ask?" It is difficult for the imperial grandson to come out of the micro-service for a private visit, how can he blow the people away? ”
Xu Hao looked at those bastards. He said: "It just so happens that Weihaiwei lacks the coolies to build the dock fortress, so he interrogates these people about their past misdeeds, and then escorts them to the past three years of hard labor, and if they do it, they can be converted into military households or return to their hometowns with atonement." But you have to keep an extra eye on them. These people have bad conduct and cannot suffer, but they cannot indulge and run away and become pirates. ”
Mu Hui nodded and said, "I know." ”
On that side, the so-called Xiucai rebellion failed for three years, and the three scholars were very angry. After not preparing to do anything to people, Fang Xiaoru reprimanded him sharply, frowned and said, "Let them go, I hope they will do it themselves in the future." ”
Zhu Yunwen said to Xu Yaozu Xu Wen and his son, who were in a cold sweat: "There are such evil things happening near the capital, how do you and others do things as officials of the imperial court?" How can it be reasonable to allow scoundrels to gather to intercept the incense woman in broad daylight! ”
Xu Wen was about to explain that this was not under the control of my Jinyi guard, but Xu Yaozu glared at him fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is angry, and the minister will do the first evil again." ”
Zhu Yunwen said with disappointment: "I originally wanted to experience the life of the people with Mr. Fang without restraint, but this time my identity was exposed and it was boring." ”
Fang Xiaoru didn't want to embarrass everyone, and said with a smile: "It's okay, if you can remove a harm for the people, it's not worth the trip today." Your Highness please! “
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said respectfully, "Sir, please." ”
"Hmm." Fang Xiaoru nodded slightly approvingly, took the hand of the imperial grandson and walked forward together, and Xu Ji hurriedly followed behind the two of them when he saw this.
Xu Yaozu, who breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said angrily to Xu Wen with hatred: "How did you do things? Obviously instructed you to protect your daughter, but there was a mistake, if it weren't for the kindness of His Royal Highness and Mr. Fang, you and my father and son would have been guilty of dereliction of duty this time, and the black veil on this head would be gone. ”
Xu Wen said with an aggrieved face: "I have ordered it to go down, and I have repeatedly reminded the captains to be cautious, who knows whether they are a step too late." ”
Xu Yaozu sighed weakly: "Lao Tzu has taught you for so many years, but you haven't even learned to lead a good soldier, you are a waste compared to the third child." ”
Xu Wen said unconvinced: "I often observe the third child's behavior, but I have never seen him personally lead Jinyiwei to practice and handle cases, he is not as good as me." ”
Xu Yaozu smiled bitterly: "So you are far inferior to him, don't you know that the ancients worked the clouds, and those on the cloud worked hard, and he had a confidant, so why should he worry about trivial matters by himself?" ”
Xu Wen pouted and said, "Isn't the third child just relying on the favor of the saint?" So everyone is vying for it, what kind of ability is it. ”
"You, alas!" Xu Yaozu saw that his son still had no progress, and it was useless to say more, and he didn't have time to follow the teachings at the moment, so he sighed in his heart and said that he was more self-sustaining than the second and third brothers, and the two sons were smart and top-notch since they were young, but they have neglected discipline in recent years. Only now do I realize that their brother is too lacking in personnel experience and experience, and he knows nothing about officialdom.
Xu Yaozu commanded his subordinates to escort all the people away, and he wondered a little in his heart, how could his nephew be able to gain insight into human accidents in a short period of time, so that he could soar into the sky when he found a glimmer of opportunity? Odd.
Here, Xu Hao had already taken Mu Hui and the others to the side of Shuiyue Temple, and when he passed by the construction site, the flying ghosts and craftsmen all looked at him in shock, and everyone looked incredulous.
Hou Hai smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "I don't know Mount Tai with eyes, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive the villain for being snubbing." ”
Xu Hao smiled and said, "What's the matter with Brother Guanhou?" Don't build this hall, the big guy will pay ten times the salary after a hard time. It can be regarded as a fate between me and your brothers. ”
Hou Hai was stunned and said, "Why is this? ”
Xu Hao said: "It's nothing, it's because I hate those monks very much, at the feet of the dignified Holy Son of Heaven, I don't want to be occupied by foreign monks." ”
Hou Hai immediately patted his chest and said, "The villain and the big guy will tear down this place and give the son a breath." ”
Xu Hao said: "It's not too late to do it tomorrow, these bricks and tiles and timber will be pulled away for their own house, otherwise it's a pity, I will compensate everyone ten times the salary, and I will never break my promise." Oh. Here is Lord Mu Hui to testify. ”
Hou Hai said with a smile: "The son is a big guy who has already learned it, how can what a man like an iron fight not count?" ”
Xu Hao smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Hou for your trust, please Brother Hou take everyone away." Can't leak the rumors. ”
"Yes."
Hou Hai immediately waved his hand and told the craftsmen to go down the mountain with tools, Xu Hao gave Mu Yi a look, Mu Yi stepped forward a few steps forward and showed the brocade guard official card to the flying ghosts and others who were watching in place, and the craftsmen who were bluffed didn't dare to have other thoughts. They all went with Hou Hai.
"Leave ten brothers to guard, and no one is allowed to enter the temple to ventilate the news."
Xu Hao finished giving the order with a flat expression, and headed towards the Water Moon Temple first. Zhiqing, who was following him, secretly spit out her little tongue, and said in her heart that the prince was so majestic outside, obviously he was the youngest here, and he was no different from the eldest master in his actions and gestures.
Xu Hao was very familiar with everything in Shuiyue Temple, so he walked to the mountain gate unhurriedly, and ordered Mu Hui and a dozen other henchmen to pretend to be pilgrims and blend in, leaving others to wait outside, and he only took Zhiqing, Li Qiu and Mu Yi in.
The movement outside did not cause chaos, the endless stream of tourists all clapped their hands, saying that Jinling Sangou and others have always been unscrupulous to flirt with women, sooner or later will offend a certain big man who came to admire, in the past it was just lucky, who made Shuiyue Temple so famous?
In fact, this is also the case, of course, no one would have thought that it was the prince of a country who offended, and the three dogs of Jinling and other scoundrels were completely unjustified, and the wicked people who blocked the female dependents were actually pretended by Xu Hao.
Entering the temple and walking through the Yongdao, there was a circle of sergeants standing in front of the main hall in front of them, Xu Yao's grandfather and son stared nervously at the people around them, and they looked like loyal ministers who were guarding against assassins, so that the pilgrims could only go around on both sides.
Xu Hao looked at Zhu Yunwen who was surrounded from a distance and frowned slightly, and secretly laughed in his heart that the uncle had no experience as a spy after all, even if he was safe and secure in such a big battle, he had actually left an impression of incompetence in the heart of the imperial grandson.
Xu Hao glanced at the side hall on the right without a trace, and said, "Li Qiu, you stay here, Zhiqing and Mu Yi go with me." ”
In the side hall is a pure gold Guanyin, about the size of a life-size, located on a Dharma platform three or four feet high above the ground. Twenty or thirty devout-looking believers sat cross-legged below, waiting for the elders to ascend to the throne to preach.
Xu Hao smiled and pulled Zhiqing to the two old men, found a cushion and sat down, Zhiqing looked curiously, Mu Yi's expression suddenly became serious, and he chose a position not far away to sit on his knees.
Xu Hao smiled: "I didn't expect you to really come, grandpa." (To be continued......)
