Chapter 1297: Cheng Xiaoliu's Conscience
"It's not that my uncle forgot, it's that the palace is busy, and I really haven't had a chance to mention it." Seeing that Zheng Duchu was really anxious, Cheng Wujie patiently explained, "Your father is involved in a big case, and he needs to wash away his grievances before he can come out." I have arranged for someone to do it, and the day the new emperor ascends the throne and grants amnesty to the world will be the time when your father will see the blue sky again. ”
Zheng Duchu said coldly, "When my uncle asked for my sister's life, what he said to Duchu was not to see the blue sky again, but to reinstate the official. ”
"The most important thing is to get your father out of Dali Temple first, and the reinstatement of the official needs to be considered in the long run."
Zheng Duchu, who was tormented by Shen Xuan, stared gloomily at Cheng Wujie for a while, then turned around and left.
Cheng Wujie didn't bother to care about him, and went to the front yard to find his third son Cheng Xianwen, "Send a letter to your eldest brother quickly, and ask him to send some silver taels back as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Wujie's eldest son, Cheng Xianbo, was a magistrate in Jiangling, although his official position was inconspicuous, he was a fat man. Cheng Fu's financial resources were cut off, and Cheng Wujie didn't want to use the life-saving silver at the bottom of the box, so he had to ask his eldest son for help.
Cheng Xianwen replied, "My son sent a letter to the eldest brother six days ago, explaining the situation in the house, and the eldest brother has not replied to the letter so far. ”
The eldest son has always done things safely, and when he learned of the situation in the house, he should take the initiative to send the silver back, and if there is no news, something happened. Cheng Wujie was worried about his son, and immediately said, "Send someone to Jiangling again to see what the situation is on your eldest brother's side." ”
The eldest brother is a magistrate, what else can he do! Either he didn't want to send the money back to Beijing, or the person who sent the letter back was hijacked!
Sending his father out, Cheng Xianwen was in his heart, and when he was thinking about who to send to run errands, he saw his brother Cheng Xiaoliu coming back with his guard Cheng Hu.
Seeing his leisurely energy of walking one step and three steps, Cheng Xianwen, who was about to become a dog, became angry, "Little Liu, come here!" ”
Cheng Xiaoliu shook over, "Third brother, you called me?" ”
Cheng Xianwen squeezed out a smile, "You pack up and go out to deliver the letter later." ”
"Yes." Cheng Xiaoliu, who had just patrolled the street, didn't shout tired, and took Cheng Hu back to his small courtyard. After changing his clothes and drinking two cups of tea, he came to the third brother again.
"You send these two letters to the eldest brother and the second brother quickly, and you must hand them over to them personally, the matter is urgent, and there must be no delay." Although his father only said that he would send a letter to his eldest brother, in order to summon Xiaoliu, Cheng Xianwen decided to let him run under the sun for a few more days.
Aha? Cheng Xiaoliu glanced down at the words on the envelope, which was clearly the handwriting of the third brother.
How urgent can the third brother be to find the two elder brothers? He must be playing some bad idea, isn't he going to get rid of himself outside the capital?
Cheng Xiaoliu is not stupid, "Third brother, this has been coming and going for more than a month, the yamen is busy with errands, and the younger brother can't get out, so you can go to another person." ”
Cheng Xianwen sank his face, "This is assigned by my father, and you have to quit the bad errand that delayed your work." ”
Cheng Xiaoliu shrugged, "Okay, let's go." "Since it was assigned by his father, Cheng Xiaoliu has no choice, it's a big deal that he changes with Cheng Hu Qiaozhuang and then goes on the road.
Seeing Xiao Liu put the letter in his arms, Cheng Xianwen was satisfied, "Don't take the waterway, the water bandits near the capital are making a lot of noise." "The waterways are so comfortable.
Cheng Xiaoliu should get down and instructed Cheng Hudao, "You go to the stable to pick two good horses, and I will go to the account to pay the silver." ”
Cheng Xianwen's face immediately darkened, "There is no silver in the account in the house, use your salary." ”
Let him run errands and still not give silver? Cheng Xiaoliu quit, "The money I got from my 'rotten' errand is not enough to buy meat buns!" If the third brother doesn't give me the money, I won't go, whoever likes to go! ”
Cheng Xianwen stretched out his fingers, "Thirty taels, no more!" ”
Cheng Xiaoliu also knew that life in the house was not easy, nodded in response, and asked, "Third brother, who does Dad want to marry Ruoyun to, why is she crying in the yard?" ”
Cheng Xianwen reprimanded with a cold face, "Do your errand!" ”
Cheng Xiaoliu's eyes rolled, "It won't be...... Send her to the palace, right? Tsk~ How old is it......"
Cheng Xianwen was furious, "If you don't leave, don't even think about getting a penny!" ”
Look at the meaning is true. Xiao Liu shook his head and walked out, Dad is looking at King Yi's mansion and changing the palace again. Cheng Xiaoliu used to feel that he was the worst in the Cheng family, but now it seems that Cheng Ruoyun, who is not covered by Mrs. Cheng, is not much better than him.
After Cheng Xiaoliu paid another thirty taels of silver from the account, he told Cheng Hu to go out of the city and wait, and he went to Chai Zhisui to resign and borrow money. Although Chai Zhisui's father Chai Zili is not a prince now, what he did was the fat difference of the Fifth Prison Yamen, and he borrowed money from the second brother of Chai and did not leave.
Hearing that Xiaoliu was going out of Beijing, Chai Zhisui was so envious that his eyes glowed blue.
Cheng Xiaoliu pouted him and said, "Second brother and little brother I'll go together, right?" ”
"My third sister has added another girl, and tomorrow there will be a full moon after a while, and I can't go. Besides, when the first emperor came out of the mausoleum, we had to follow the howl all the way, and it would be disrespectful not to go. Chai Zhisui was full of regret, and without waiting for Cheng Xiaoliu to open his mouth, he asked, "Are you entangled enough?" ”
Cheng Xiaoliu smiled, "If the second brother is not tight, will he borrow some from the younger brother?" ”
Although Chai Zhisui was muddy, he really took Cheng Xiaoliu as a brother, and immediately ordered someone to go back to the house and take two hundred taels of silver for Cheng Xiaoliu as a plate, and advised, "Since you are out, don't rush back, play for two more months." The situation in Kyori is changing day by day, and it is not safe to stay. ”
Cheng Xiaoliu said goodbye to his second brother and put the silver on his back, and went out of the capital to join Cheng Hu with tears in his eyes. Who knew that he didn't go far away, but he was stopped by a pretty little guy, "Sixth son, please stay." ”
Isn't this my sister's personal maid! Here she is, in that carriage......
Cheng Xiaoliu immediately dismounted, walked quickly to the inconspicuous carriage next to him, lifted the curtain and looked inside, and the white sweat came down, "How did you get out of the city, go back quickly!" ”
Cheng Ruoyun, whose eyes were swollen into peach, begged, "Is it okay for the sixth brother to take Ruoyun to Jiangling together?" Ruoyun didn't want to enter the palace to serve Banzai, who was four years younger than me. ”
Cheng Xiaoliu was anxious, "Don't bring it!" If my father knew about this, he wouldn't do anything to you, but he would skin me! ”
Cheng Ruoyun dared to escape, but she didn't think about going back, she said angrily, "It seems that the sixth brother still remembers the old hatred and refuses to help me." If the cloud doesn't involve the sixth brother, I will go by myself, if I am caught by the flower and sold into the kiln, it will be considered Ruoyun's life. ”
Seeing that Cheng Ruoyun only took a maid and was pulled away by the coachman with a face, Cheng Xiaoliu had no choice but to follow.
Cheng Hu grabbed his reins, "Young Master, this is not a trivial matter. ”
Cheng Xiaoliu grabbed the hat on his head irritably, "Master knows!" She has to be willing to go back. ”
"The young master followed the girl's carriage, and his subordinates immediately went back to report the news." Cheng Hu said in a low voice.
"Ah-" Cheng Xiaoliu was depressed in his chest, and roared depressedly in the sky, "That's it, let's send her to Xuzhou!" ”
There is a grange of Mrs. Cheng in Xuzhou, Cheng Xiaoliu remembered that after Cheng Ruoyun's nurse came out of Cheng's house, she retired in the Zhuangzi in Xuzhou, and after sending Cheng Ruoyun to Xuzhou, where she wanted to go had nothing to do with herself.
The young master was not angry with Cheng Ruoyun because of Mrs. Cheng, and was willing to plan for her and send her to Xuzhou, which was more secure than Jiangling. Cheng Hu looked at the young master's thin back, and a smile appeared on his fierce face, which became more and more hideous.
He didn't misunderstand, although the sixth young master has no ability, he is definitely the most conscientious master in the house.
