Chapter six hundred and fiftieth eight embarrassing situation
The sun is getting higher, dispelling the coldness of winter mornings. The world under the sun seems to be plated with a layer of gold, but many places where the sun does not shine are still bitingly cold.
The huge golden carving pulled the floating ship across the sky. People on the ground were not blind and couldn't see it. It was just because it was too high that they only looked up. Some were afraid and some were surprised.
It's not that no one is interested, but whether it's the magical golden sculpture or the flying ship, ordinary people dare to touch it, especially when there are a few people on it who make people's hair stand on end from a distance.
Just passing by in the sky leaves endless reveries and speculations for people along the way.
Returning from the south, Yunjing was in a good mood after a busy night and had a great harvest. He temporarily put aside his thoughts and looked at the mountains and rivers below.
He stood on the bow of the ship and looked towards Xianyang City from a distance. Although he could not see anything, he had left too many footprints there. He had experienced a lot while studying there.
Speaking of Yunjing's 'brother-in-law', Lin Yexing's father-in-law's Shen family is located on the northern border of Dali. They have a high status in the world, and they are related to Yunjing.
This thought flashed across Yunjing's mind, and he had no intention of visiting. He had no reason to come, and he had no time.
Yunjing saw the Li River, a vast river that almost ran through the entire Dali. However, the water level of the Li River had dropped seriously. It was no longer as vast as it used to be. If things go on like this, it might dry up completely. It's still too early at the moment, and we can't withstand the drought.
continue.
Once the Lijiang River dries up, the impact will not just be as simple as drying up. Countless places along both sides of the river will be greatly affected, and both the ecology and life will be destroyed.
There is no rain in the sky, there is no water in the small rivers, and the big rivers are dry. This is an unsolvable problem.
"Young Master, you have been busy all night. Let's go practice some practice. We will arrive in two or three hours," Qingmei said beside Yunjing.
Looking back, Yun Jing nodded and said: "That's fine, remind me when the time comes."
Although I am not exhausted, it is good to take a rest.
Returning to the cabin to rest, Yunjing quickly fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but Qingyue and the others knocked on the door to remind Yunjing of their arrival.
After simply washing and changing clothes, they came outside to the cloud scene and found that they were once again behind the Sanluo Embassy in the capital city. The ship carrying them back had already docked, and there were already Sanluo envoys waiting around.
When Yun Jing appeared, everyone saluted and said: "Young Master Yun, you are lucky to have this trip. On behalf of San Luo, we sincerely thank you."
The news of helping San Luo solve the serious problem of the traitor organization has already reached here. The gratitude of these San Luo envoys came from the bottom of their hearts. If Yun Jing hadn't left here, they couldn't imagine what their country would have ended up with.
Standing on the ground in Dali again, Yunjing felt inexplicably at ease and cordial in his heart, like a wanderer returning home after a long journey.
Here he saw many familiar faces, including the envoy Sanluo who had seen him off.
"You don't need to be polite, this trip will live up to the great trust and honor the mission," Yun Jing returned the greeting with cupped hands.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Yunjing politely declined their plan to entertain Jingfeng. The reason was that there were still many things to hand over after returning, so envoy Sanluo could only express his regrets and make up for it when he had time. He also hoped that Yunjing would appreciate it and go there.
feast.
After leaving the Sang Luo Embassy in Dali, Yunjing and the others went directly to the Rites Department Yamen of Dali. He, the Dali envoy to Sang Luo, still had to hand over some procedures. The process was not complicated and was completed quickly.
Originally, Yun Jing wanted to inquire about the details of his trip, but Yun Jing's status as an envoy was temporary, and he had been ordered to do so by his superiors, so he had to keep everything simple and no one made it difficult for him.
After the follow-up handover was completed, after leaving the Yamen, Yunjing's trip to Sanluo was completely over. He returned to civilian clothes and white body, but there were more colorful experiences on his resume.
It can be said that no one in the entire younger generation of Dali can come up with Yunjing's academic resume, which will be of immeasurable weight for his future Jinshi imperial examination.
Walking on the street, everything you see in Yunjing is friendly. The familiar language, accents, buildings and clothing are all things you can't experience in Sanluo.
Along the way, Yunjing and his party went straight to the mansion that Wu Qingmei gave to Yunjing after she painted it.
Yunjing couldn't help but feel strange. Unknowingly, Wu Qingmei had given him two luxury houses, one in Sanluo Jingcheng and one in Dali Jingcheng. They were both located in places where land was of high value.
Is this what people call doing one thing in front of someone and another behind the scenes?
If it was ten years ago, Yun Jing would only say that the rich woman was hungry and the food tasted delicious after such an encounter. Now, it doesn't make a big difference in his heart. He just thinks that his life experience is quite interesting.
When I returned to the house, the housekeeper here immediately greeted me.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Yunjing noticed that Tubosuotu, who was following him, was flirting with the housekeeper of the house here. He immediately asked out of curiosity: "Mr. Tu, do you know each other?"
"Go back to the young master, I know you. I have worked with your majesty in the past few years, but I haven't seen him for a while. I never thought that old Zhou was left here by your majesty. You are at the mercy of the young master," Tubo nodded.
Butler Zhou here was left behind by Wu Qingmei. He had true artistic conception and was from Sangluo. Yun Jing understood what Tubo said. Not only did they know each other, but they also seemed to have a good friendship. After all, they had worked together before.
So Yun Jing smiled and said, "I'll have to reminisce about old times with you."
"It's rare for the young master to come here. Are you going to stay in the house today?" Housekeeper Zhou nodded to Tu Bo and the others and then looked at Yun Jing and asked. Even if he reunited with his old friends, his focus was still on Yun Jing. Everything else could be done.
Putting it aside, he still had this sense of propriety. After all, they were no longer Wu Qingmei's subjects, but Yun Jing's subordinates.
After taking a sip and naturally taking over the tea handed over by the maid Qingmei and the others, Yunjing muttered: "I will go south to go home later to deal with some things. I have been out for so long so as not to worry my family, so I won't stay."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Qingmei, Qingyue, Tubo and the others and said: "Mr. Tu, Qingmei and the others will stay here. There is no need to follow them all the time. I will inform you of any orders in the future."
"Okay, young master, I'll make arrangements right away," Butler Zhou nodded.
He is also an old man, and he can tell at a glance that Qingmei Qingyue and the others are different from ordinary maids. Next, some power in this house belonging to Yunjing will be handed over. Although he is the housekeeper here, he cannot stand up to Qingmei Qingyue.
These two personal maids are out of earshot.
The twists and turns in a large house are actually very complicated. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is intrigue. The premise is to keep one's nature. It may seem like just a big house, but isn't it the epitome of a small society?
Next, Yunjing made some arrangements for the place. From now on, Qingmei Qingyue and the others will be responsible for the internal affairs of the house, the external affairs will be left to Butler Zhou, and the security will be handled by Tubo and the others.
After Yunjing made arrangements, Qingmei and the others couldn't help but wonder: "Does the young master mean not to stay here permanently? You can take us somewhere else, so that you can take care of us with you."
After deciding to follow Yunjing, they can be said to be Yunjing's people, but they were abandoned by Yunjing as soon as they arrived. They looked a little pitiful, like abandoned kittens.
It's not that they are possessed by drama queens, it's that they have come to this unfamiliar place and their backbone is no longer there, so they are inevitably worried about gains and losses.
Yun Jing said: "I will come here often in the future. You also know that it is convenient for me to go wherever I go, so you just need to help me take care of this place. Moreover, you should know something about my family's situation. If I take you to show off,
My family will definitely criticize me."
"It all depends on the young master's orders," Qingmei and the others looked at each other and said.
At this time, Tubo said: "Young master does not need us to follow you, in terms of safety..."
"There's no need to worry about this. I guess you guys are well aware that there aren't many people in this world who can threaten me," Yun Jing said with a smile.
So they no longer persisted, thinking that the future life would be leisurely and suitable for retirement. After all, Yunjing did not seem to be a person with many things to do.
Qingmei next to her rolled her eyes and said: "Young Master, please be brave, can you manage some properties in Beijing for the Young Master in the future? After all, it is not an easy thing to just sit back and have nothing, you have to make some income."
"If you have the energy and means to do this, you can go ahead and do it." Yunjing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect her to say that. Yunjing secretly thought that their abilities were underestimated by him. They were definitely not as beautiful as they looked on the outside.
So simple.
Qingyue immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, young master, I will keep it to your satisfaction when the time comes."
Yunjing didn't worry so much, just find something to do to pass the time when they were bored. He didn't expect them to earn much money. In terms of money, Yunjing no longer valued it. It was just something he could get at his fingertips.
After they settled down, Yunjing looked at the sky and stood up and said, "Let's do this for now. You guys should familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment. I'll go meet the elders and then go directly south to go home. I won't be back today."
"Congratulations, young master", several people said in unison, sending Yun Jing to the door.
Yun Jing is here to see Master Deng, and Xiong Fang Song Yue will bring him tens of millions. By then, their mission of protecting Yun Jing will be over.
After Yun Jing left, Steward Zhou, Qingmei Tubo and others gathered together. In Yun Jing's absence, they were much more relaxed.
Butler Zhou said, "Miss Qingmei, I will have someone present the account books of the house to you later. From now on, you will be responsible for this aspect."
They are Yunjing's personal maids. Although they are maids, they have a special status here. They are the so-called eldest maids. Giving them account books is equivalent to handing over financial power.
"Then we'll have to trouble Housekeeper Zhou, but we sisters don't know anything. We'll have to trouble Housekeeper Zhou to take care of us in the future," Qingmei Qingyue and the others said with a smile, speaking very nicely.
It was tacitly understood by everyone. Putting aside the others, as flesh and blood people, Qingmei Qingyue and the others were now following Yunjing. Naturally, they were not willing to be reduced to mediocre servants. Naturally, they had to catch what should be in their hands.
inside.
Tuposuotu and the others didn't think much about it. It was the force that was responsible. Tupo said cheerfully: "If something happens in the future, let me know. We brothers will definitely not be involved if we need to take action. We will be happy and free even if it doesn't matter."
They almost have retirement plans.
The few of them got along happily, and a banquet was specially prepared to welcome Qingmei and the others.
During the dinner, Butler Zhou smiled and said: "Everyone will work for the young master from now on. Work together and don't let the young master worry about trivial matters."
"Of course," Qingmei and the others raised their glasses and said in unison.
After getting along for a while, Butler Zhou finally thought about it and said: "I have to tell you about a situation, so that you can have a good idea."
"Steward Zhou, please speak," Tubo and the others said seriously.
Looking into the distance, Housekeeper Zhou said: "Before you came, I was only responsible for helping the young master take care of this house. Besides me, there is also a big housekeeper beside the young master. His surname is Song. He is a book boy who has been with the young master since he was a child.
, he is the young master’s confidant. You must understand this. Butler Song contacted me for many things in the past. Now, although he is still nominally the young master’s pupil, the young master is deliberately cultivating him. Many things about the young master will be done in the future.
It’s going to be handed over to Butler Song, do you understand what I mean?”
"Thank you, Butler Zhou, for reminding me," Qingmei and the others said clearly.
This is a very important message. Butler Zhou is reminding them to recognize their status clearly. The 'big steward' Song who they have never met before is their direct superior.
This has to be said about the benefits of occupying a seat first. Song Yan has been following Yunjing since he was a child. Many things have been decided almost from the beginning. Based on this alone, not all of them can compare with their outstanding abilities...
Yunjing didn't know how the people in the house got along with each other after Yunjing left. Yunjing didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew about it. After leaving, he went straight to the small courtyard where Master Deng was.
All the clouds and scenery in the capital have long been familiar, and the initial mood change after returning from a long journey actually did not change.
After arriving at the small courtyard, Master Deng was rarely at home. He didn't seem surprised by Yunjing's arrival. He obviously knew that Yunjing had come back and came back here. He kindly asked Yunjing to drink tea and chat with him.
As for Xiong Fangtubo, after arriving here, he greeted Master Deng and asked them to leave on their own. Their mission was over.
Only Yun Jing and Deng Changchun, the oldest and the youngest, were left in the yard, and Mrs. Deng's old housekeeper was sensible enough not to disturb them.
When they were the only ones left, Deng Changchun couldn't help looking at Yun Jing and jokingly said: "Xiao Jing, in your line of work, you have come back with a strong sense of nobility. Tsk, I'm afraid the harvest is not small, right?"
You can see all this? No, you are still noble and talkative. Do you want it to be so mysterious?
Yun Jing said with some embarrassment: "Um, Master, where do you start with these words?"
"You just pretended to stay overnight at the Sanluo Palace for many days. You are quite brave. Don't tell me that you stayed at the Sanluo Palace for so many days just to visit," Deng Changchun continued to joke.
Hearing this, Yunjing was slightly surprised and said, "Master, do you even know this?"
"Who do you think is blind? Our people in Sanluo in Dali are not vegetarians. The Sanluo Palace is the center of the entire Sanluo. There are countless people in the world watching. There are some things that everyone understands tacitly.
That’s all,” Deng Changchun shook his head and said.
After pondering for a while, Yunjing said: "Yes, many things that they think are secret are not actually secrets."
"Xiao Jing, did you really achieve good things with Empress San Luo?" Deng Changchun said slightly seriously.
Judging from the tone, although a few people including him knew that Yunjing stayed in Sanluo Palace for a long time, they didn't know the details.
Not intending to hide it, Yunjing said: "To be honest with you, Master, the student did have an in-depth exchange with Qingmei. Well, it's normal for young people to be unable to resist, but this shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
With an expression that he knew would be like this, Deng Changchun said angrily: "It's not a big problem. Let me tell you Xiao Jing, the problem is big. That is Empress San Luo, the king of a country, and now she has become yours.
Do you think the problem is big? Once word spreads, I don’t know how big of a stir it will cause. Moreover, you are from Dali, how will everyone see you? How will the royal family see you?"
Hearing what Deng Changchun said, Yun Jing suddenly felt his scalp tightening. Thinking about it, if he and Wu Qingmei came together, it would not be a matter between two people, but a major matter between countries.
Just because of the relationship between Yunjing and Wu Qingmei, it is difficult not to arouse the suspicion of Dali Chaotang. What terrible and serious consequences will it cause if Yunjing is devoted to Wu Qingmei? After all, normally men often
You use your lower body to think about problems.
"This...isn't that serious?" Yun Jing said anxiously.
Glancing at Yun Jing, Deng Changchun said: "It will only be more serious than you think. From now on, you have to pay attention to everything you say and do. Moreover, from now on, you are destined to not be reused. Needless to say, you yourself understand the reason."
Right? Of course, don’t put too much pressure on you. Just because of your relationship with Empress Sanluo, no one dares to touch you easily. After all, you are a petty person. If you offend the empress, not many people can bear it.
Such consequences"
The relationship between Yun Jing and Wu Qingmei is no child's play. Hearing this, Yun Jing said: "This junior will pay attention to his actions in the future."
At the same time, Yunjing was also worried. As Deng Changchun said, his relationship with Wu Qingmei was destined to not be reused in the future. After all, who can rest assured to hand over power to him? But for Yunjing, this is
It's a good thing, he has no interest in officialdom.
"Xiao Jing, don't feel any pressure. As long as you don't act recklessly, almost no one dares to touch you now. Besides, there are not many people who know about your relationship with Empress San Luo, so you can do whatever you want, sometimes even a little bit.
Being a bit out of line is what many people would like to see. I would like to give you a piece of advice. Given your current situation, stay away from members of the royal family. Do you understand what I mean?" Deng Changchun said with a smile.
Of course Yunjing understood what he meant. Nowadays, several princes in Dali are restless. With Yunjing's situation, once he gets close to someone, it is certain that he will attract the support of the Sanluo Dynasty. Who wants to see that?
If that happens? It will trigger a series of serious consequences. The most important thing is that it would be fatal for other countries to interfere with the Dali regime.
After thinking about this, Yunjing felt that with his own temperament, it was pointless to consider this. Anyway, he had no ambitions, so he could just live his own life and do whatever he wanted.
Then he said: "Actually, from some perspectives, the relationship between me and Qingmei is also of great benefit to Dali, isn't it?"
"You can see clearly. Indeed, with you here, many problems that were originally entangled will not be so entangled. As long as you don't make mistakes and correct your mentality, it is equivalent to bringing a reliable ally to Dali, which is of great significance.
, In short, your current situation is mixed, good or bad, it depends on what you think," Deng Changchun nodded.
Smiling, Yunjing said: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. You already know the character of this junior, so there is no need to worry too much."
"Xiao Jingneng is right to think so. Okay, let's not talk about this. You did a good job going to Sanluo on this trip. I have received your letter. Don't worry about the rest. Of course, the court will negotiate with Sanluo.
Now tell me the details of your visit," Deng Changchun said with a smile.
So Yun Jingjing nodded and began to explain to him the history of his career. There was nothing to hide. Even if Yun Jing didn't tell him, it would be easy for anyone who wanted to investigate after such a big thing happened.
After listening, Deng Changchun was silent for a while, and then said with emotion: "In Sanluo, I didn't expect that the rape organization has developed to that extent, and it has almost subverted the entire Sanluo. Once they succeed, the consequences will not only be
The demise of the Sanluo Dynasty will be a disaster for countless people and countries. Fortunately, it has passed, but those who died in this incident will die forever."
Even the clone of the Holy Lord from a foreign civilization has arrived. If it is not eliminated in time, under its leadership, a terrible disaster will spread throughout the world in a short period of time!
Even though Deng Changchun was in the realm of mythology, he couldn't help but feel frightened for a while.
Yunjing said sincerely: "Fortunately, everything is over, and with the efforts of countless people in Sanluo, a set of methods to detect, prevent and remove the parasite has been developed. In the future, the threat of human rape organizations will be reduced."
To the minimum!”
"Well, Xiaojing, the method you mentioned, Sanluo has already sent it to us in Dali as soon as possible. In the future, the threat of human rape organizations will no longer be great, but we still cannot relax about foreign civilizations. After all, there are more than one foreign civilizations.
, in short, you have done well now, the court will give you a series of rewards in the future, please pay attention, and then Sanluo will be in trouble after all, we Dali also have to express our gratitude. Now that the two sides have formed an alliance, there will be a series of supplies to support.
", Deng Changchun nodded.
If in the past, when I had made great achievements, the Dali court would not show any sign of it, but would record it. But now, it is rewarded directly. It seems that I have received practical benefits, but it is invisible and alienated. However, considering that now I and Wu
Regarding the light eyebrows, Yunjing thinks this is normal.
Based on the relationship between Yunjing and Wu Qingmei, Dali is consciously marginalizing him to prevent Yunjing from taking power. After all, Dali does not want Empress Sanluo’s man to be in a high position in this country, in case the man and woman get involved.
Who can afford such consequences?
Yunjing's status in Dali is a bit embarrassing now. He is no longer as simple as "a spy planted by San Luo". He is the person Wu Qingmei has the closest relationship with. Who dares not to guard against him?
There are many people who grew up watching Yunjing. For others, to put it bluntly, whether they can stay in this country is another matter.
After saying these things, Yunjing took out the device that could produce water that he had tinkered with on the way back.
After Deng Changchun understood the structure and function of the device, his expression immediately changed. Even in the mythical realm, he could not control his change of mentality. Then he hurriedly said, "You can do it yourself, Xiaojing." He took the device and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I left to find the current Emperor of Dali.
The device Yun Jing tinkered with can produce water out of thin air. Although the amount is not large, it is enough for daily drinking. What is the most lacking thing in the current drought? It is water. It is related to all people in the world. How dare Deng Changchun despise this thing?
He didn't know how many people could be saved, and he needed to promote it without delay. How could he have time to chat with Yun Jing?
It was within Yunjing's expectation that Deng Changchun left with the device in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it out after the conversation was almost over.
Looking at the direction Deng Changchun left, Yunjing felt a little depressed, because when San Luo returned, Yunjing found that Deng Changchun was in even worse condition than when he left. It could be said that he was at the end of his life!
But despite this, he is still working hard for Da Li and running for the people of the world. After knowing the purpose of the device, he did not dare to waste a moment to discuss promotion matters. Even Yun Jing, who brought this thing, did not
Let's talk to him about the rewards this thing will bring him.
"People like them can be said to have dedicated their whole lives, Master Deng did the same, and so did Senior Hong of San Luo."
Yunjing sighed in his heart, everything that needed to be explained was almost done, and it was time for him to go home...
