Since knowing that Wu Shigong would leave the capital, Xue Yufei pestered Wu Shigong every night and almost refused to let him sleep. Wu Shigong also tried his best to satisfy Xue Yufei.
Although in the appointment letter, Wu Shigong only had to take office before the end of the year, Wu Shigong seized all the time to organize everything and leave the capital as soon as possible. But even so, it took Wu Shigong nearly half of the time to prepare everything.
month time.
During this period, Wu Shigong also went back to the Wu Mansion, wanting to say goodbye to his father Wu Weizhong. But his father Wu Weizhong didn't even let Wu Shigong in through the gate. Wu Shigong had to kowtow three times outside the gate as a farewell.
But as soon as Wu Shigong left, the boy next to his eldest brother Wu Shili quietly grabbed him and gave Wu Shigong a package. In it was two hundred taels of silver for Wu Shigong, and a letter from his eldest brother Wu Shili from the magistrate of Jining Prefecture in the same year,
When Wu Shigong passed by Jining Prefecture, he was asked to hand it over to the magistrate of Jining Prefecture.
Xue Lian has already submitted his resignation, but according to the usual practice, Emperor Chongzhen also wants to retain him one after another. However, both parties are very clear about these formalisms. Therefore, Xue Lian has been resting at home these days.
Wu Shigong also wanted to know as much as possible about Guide, Henan. But in modern times, Wu Shigong had never heard of Guide, Henan. So Wu Shigong was ready to find a map to take a look. But what surprised Wu Shigong was that in the market
I couldn't find any map at all, not even a tourist map. After learning about it, I realized that in the Ming Dynasty, private people were not allowed to have any maps at all. The reason was still the same - for fear of rebellion. In desperation, Wu Shigong prepared
The blind man touched the elephant.
After more than ten days of preparation, Wu Shigong finally decided to set off. The night before departure, Xue Yufei personally prepared Wu Shigong's luggage. Wu Shigong saw that the suitcase and the bottle of... palace secret recipe were in the box where the luggage was placed!?
Xue Yufei told Wu Shigong that accompanying Wu Shigong to Henan to return to Germany was not only Wu Shigong's personal maid embroidering bamboo, but also Zhu Yun.
Wu Shigong himself also brought a set of Japanese samurai swords, as well as the two blunderbuss retrieved from the house where he was preparing to escape, as his own self-defense weapons.
On September 2nd, when the genius was bright, Wu Shigong was ready to leave. Because the news released by the Xue Mansion was that Wu Shigong was having an affair with a wild woman outside, so the Xue Mansion kicked him out of the capital. Therefore, the family could only stay in the capital.
Xue Mansion said goodbye.
Xue Yufei stood aside with tears in her arms while holding the sleeping Xue Chenglin. Wu Shigong thought to himself: The only impression left to him by this boy Xue Chenglin is this sound of sleeping soundly.
Zhuyun's mother was also giving Zhuyun a thousand instructions and instructions. The way she occasionally looked at Wu Shigong made Wu Shigong feel like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
Wu Shigong kowtowed to Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang several times, and suddenly couldn't help it. He stood up, hugged Xue Lian, and shouted to Xue Lian and Mrs. Zhang: "Dad! Mom!" which caused a lot of sobbing.
Holding back his sadness, Wu Shigong walked out of the gate of Xue Mansion. Because Xue Lian could no longer use so many guards, Xue Lian sent Xue Yongli out and asked him to lead forty guards of Xue Mansion.
In addition, Xue Yong led the twelve guards and followed Wu Shigong to Guide, Henan to protect Wu Shigong.
The guards of the Xue Mansion met the guards of the gambling house, and the group finally set off. They walked on the deserted streets. When they approached Xuanwu Gate, several people who were victims of the disaster recognized Wu Shigong, and they all saluted Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong
I thought to myself: "The common people do not have high demands on the government. I have done so many things for them, and they will always remember it in their hearts. I wish them all the best when Li Zicheng invades Beijing."
When Wu Shigong passed by Xuanwu Gate on horseback, he happened to meet Dong Yun who was taking his grandson for an early morning walk. Dong Yun and his grandson bowed to Wu Shigong and Wu Shigong also nodded to Dong Yun.
When Wu Shigong and his party walked away, Dong Yun's grandson asked Dong Yun: "Grandpa, who is that?"
Dong Yun replied to his grandson: "Remember him, he is the underground king of Nancheng."
Wu Shigong kept riding forward. After walking a long way, Wu Shigong suddenly reined in the horse and stopped the horse. He turned back and looked at the Xuanwu Gate Tower in the distance. He looked for a long, long time. Suddenly, he remembered "
A line from "Shanghai Beach". Wu Shigong revised it and shouted loudly: "There is everything in the morning and nothing at night. This is the city of Beijing!"
