Chapter 1698: The joy of the women, all the way north
Chapter 1698: The joy of the girls, heading north all the way
"lady!"
In the back house of Chengdu Mansion, a maid hurried over.
Xiangling asked the nanny next to her to pick up the little rice ball that was running around and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
"Madam, Master Shen Chou, the commander of the bodyguard of the Master in the front yard, has returned. This is a personal letter from the Master, saying that he is sending someone to pick up all the ladies and go to the North to join the Master."
Xiang Ling's expression changed slightly and she took the letter, "Go and ask all the other ladies to come over immediately!"
She opened the letter and read it. After reading it, Xiang Ling felt relieved. Then she hugged the little rice ball and said, "Little guy, you're going to see your daddy soon, okay?"
Not long after, the girls gathered together.
Looking at Wanyan Yue who was the most anxious, Xiangling smiled and said, "Yueer, don't be anxious, it's a good thing! My husband sent us a letter, saying that the imperial court has sent an order, and the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom have joined forces, and our husband will lead his troops to the north to help. Golden State.
Therefore, my husband will pick us up and ask you to go back to Daming Mansion!"
"I thought that if we finally get a chance, we can go together as a family!"
"real?"
Wanyan Yue's face showed great joy. Shen Tang was away fighting, and was also involved in the war with the Kingdom of Jin. She was the one who was most worried about it. But now this result undoubtedly made her the happiest.
"Of course, this is your husband's letter! Let's pack it up as soon as possible and head north tomorrow!"
Mu Yu on the side was also filled with joy. It had been nearly a year since she was separated from her husband.
As for Murong Yu, Lian'er, Zhu'er, and Yun'er, they just hugged each other and started having fun. Isha and the girls were also filled with excitement!
For women in this era, their husband is their all-round support. It is of course a joy to meet Shen Tang now.
"Okay, let's go to meet up with my husband first, and then go all the way to Daming Mansion. I'm afraid we won't be able to come back in a short time! So, let's start packing now and take everything we need to bring! After all, just on the road is enough. I don’t know how long it will take.”
"Lian'er, go and ask the people in the front yard to prepare the frame of the bicycle. There is no need for guards. The personal guards sent by your husband are enough!"
All the girls agreed, and then they happily packed up their belongings!
The whole day, all the girls were busy, and even at night they were too excited to sleep peacefully! Early the next morning, before dawn, everyone got dressed and gathered in Xiangling's room.
"Madam, Lord Tian Guanhua, Lord Lu Feng would like to see you!"
Xiangling nodded and said to the girls, "Sisters, please wait a moment. I'll be back when I go!"
With the maid leading the way, Xiang Ling went directly to the front hall.
The maid opened the curtain for Xiang Ling, and then let Tian Guanhua and Lu Feng in!
"Meet the lady!"
"You two, please get up quickly!"
"Yesterday I learned that all the ladies were going north to meet Mr. Shen, so I prepared a small gift, and I hope you will accept it! In addition, all the carriages and horses were ready, and I also ordered the servants to take the government documents and greet them all the way. Follow along, if anything happens along the way, all the prefectures, counties, yamen, and inns will help you!"
Although they are members of Shen Tang's family, there are several wives, and even the two little ones have titles, so Tian Guanhua is not just flattering.
Moreover, for the female relatives of the Shen Mansion, not only Tian Guanhua, but also who in the government office does not respect them?
Not to mention that Shen Tang is fighting abroad, but when has anyone in the Shen family ever bullied the people and been arrogant and domineering?
Moreover, wherever people in Chengdu were affected by disasters, the women would donate generously. It is no exaggeration to say that Xiang Ling and others were like living Bodhisattvas in the hearts of many people, and their prestige was not much lower than that of Shen Tang.
It is precisely because of this that the official administration in the entire Chengdu Prefecture has become much clearer! After all, the family members of the largest officials in Chengdu Prefecture are so low-key, who else dares to be arrogant?
Even sometimes, people from the Shen Mansion can do things that are difficult for the government to handle with just a word. This is the difference between prestige and trust.
"Thank you, Mr. Tian. I will accept it on your behalf!"
At this time, Lu Feng also stepped forward and said, "Madam, there are 500 personal guards sent by Your Excellency this time for the northward journey. I have arranged for ten foot soldiers to accompany them. If anything happens, they can send a message in time!"
Xiang Ling also nodded in agreement, "My husband is not here, so you can sit in charge of Chengdu Mansion if you can! When my husband comes back, I will ask the court for your merits!"
Tian Guanhua smiled and said, "Being able to serve as an official under your Excellency is simply a blessing in this life. Besides, compared to Your Excellency, what does the humble hard work of a low-ranking official mean?"
Your Excellency conquered the south and conquered the north, and made great contributions to the imperial court. This is what the lower officials should imitate."
After chatting for a few words, Tian Guanhua and he left.
When Xiang Ling returned to the back house, a rough lady had already loaded all the things she had prepared into the carriage, leaving only the girls waiting for Xiang Ling.
"Sister, everything is ready and ready to go at any time!"
Mu Yu stepped forward and said.
Xiangling nodded, "In that case, we don't need to delay, let's go now!"
A group of people, surrounded by the mother-in-law and maids, came to the door. There were more than a dozen carriages waiting! Shen Chou stepped forward and paid homage, "Meet you ladies!"
"No need to be polite, General, I'll thank you for this trip!"
As Xiang Ling said this, she was helped by her mother-in-law to get on the carriage, and the other girls, the mother-in-law and maidservants who were accompanying her also got on the car.
Afterwards, fifty iron cavalry led the way, and there were also personal guards on the left and right to protect them! Behind, dozens of young men, servants, and members of the Dark Night Pavilion also followed. There were seven or eight hundred people in the mighty force.
It is about 1,300 to 4,000 miles from Chengdu Mansion to the location of Shen Tang, and the horse-drawn carriage does not travel very fast, traveling northward for about 100 miles every day!
After traveling for two days, they entered the territory of Shiquan Army, and soldiers and horses under Shao Hongyuan came to escort them!
"Sister, our master is so majestic!"
In Isa's carriage, Aguo said in surprise. Looking out through the window lattice of the carriage, dozens of steps away on both sides, there were densely packed cavalry. It was impossible to see the end. Even the Wudeng tribe was a wealthy family, but she I have never seen anything like this before.
Ayi's eyes also shone, and she nodded vigorously, "Of course our master is powerful. When my sister and I went to Lianli City, we also met some soldiers and horses escorting us on the way. Moreover, the one who followed us at that time was only Sister Mu Yu. It’s just our caravan. This time, not only are our family heading north, but also the master’s bodyguards are following us, so we must pay a lot of attention to the places we pass!”
"Didn't you see that at all the inns we passed, food, buildings, and necessary food and grass were already prepared!"
"Moreover, our master is not only the magistrate of Chengdu Prefecture, but also the pacifier of the entire Chengdu Prefecture. In name, all the soldiers and horses in Chengdu Prefecture are under our jurisdiction."
