Scroll C, Chapter 50: Yuyang Tuo comes with agitation (1)
It was already the eighteenth day of the first lunar month when Feng Ziying returned to the capital city.
This trip lasted for more than half a month, and he was very tired.
He originally thought he couldn't make it in time, so he asked Huang Ruliang for leave in advance, but fortunately he was able to come back in time.
It’s been a long time since I rode a horse regularly. After this trip, I felt some burning pain in my crotch on both sides. Fortunately, I got used to it quickly.
"I'm afraid you're exhausted from this trip, aren't you?" Yu Chui'er brought up the boiled Jianlian red date soup and handed it to Feng Ziying. If Feng Ziying was really not used to such extravagance, Yu Chui'er would have fed it with her own hands.
By myself.
"Well, I haven't experienced such hardship for a long time. In half a month, I'm afraid it won't be two thousand miles back and forth, right? It takes two to three hundred miles to travel every day, and even riding a horse is a bit too much."
Feng Ziying was leaning on the slate-blue python-forged pillow in the main room, sipping the red date soup. As soon as she tasted it, she knew it was Jin Chuan'er's craftsmanship. Although Yun Shang and Xiang Ling were both learning from Jin Chuan'er, the heat was obviously that of Jin Chuan'er.
Chuan'er is the best at figuring it out.
Xiang Ling was vigorously massaging Feng Ziying's feet that were soaked in hot water in a wooden basin, from the calf to the heels and then to the soles of the feet. A trace of sweat seeped out from her forehead.
"Then Ruixiang and Baoxiang are too tired to get out of bed now. They say their whole bodies hurt." Yuchuan'er chuckled, "Compared to me, they are really more delicate than me."
"They haven't traveled very far outside. I have run around outside at least." Feng Ziying is quite proud. "At least when I was studying, I always walked when I came back. I walked twenty or thirty miles. The two of them
When have you ever suffered like this?"
"So my sister is saying that they are more like me than me, and they don't dare to say a word." Yu Chuan'er pursed her lips and smiled beautifully. She was not as fair and plump as her sister, but she had a pair of dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.
But it's even more likeable.
Her body is slightly thinner, probably because of her age. After all, she is only thirteen years old. If she waits for another two years, she may not be inferior to Jin Chuan'er.
Xiangling also took up the conversation, "While I was away, my wife was also a little worried. She said that something happened to you last time you went to Shandong, which made the family worried. This time it is again..."
"My mother was also bitten by a snake. She has been afraid of well ropes for ten years. If she encounters civil unrest every time she goes there, I'm afraid the Shandong Chief Envoy and Punishment Envoys departments need to be replaced.
"Yes." Feng Ziying smiled, "But it's really uncomfortable to go out in this winter. My face is frozen to death every day while riding, and my hands and feet are also stiff. When I get off the horse, my hands and feet are stiff, and maybe the horse will fall over and fall.
My nose is bruised and my face is swollen.”
Feng Ziying still suffered a lot during this trip.
Time was so tight that we almost had to ride horses all the way, non-stop, from Capital City to Jinan Prefecture, then to Dongchang Prefecture, and then to Linqing City.
Except for a few days of delay in Jinan, we only stayed in Dongchang Mansion and Linqing City for a day or two, and then hurried back to Beijing.
"Is there nothing going on at home?" Seeing Jin Chuan'er and Yun Shang also come in, Feng Ziying sat down and let Xiang Ling wipe her feet, then handed the finished bowl of Jianlian red date soup to Yu Chuan'er,
He took the hot towel handed over by Yun Shang, wiped his face and asked.
"Everything is fine at home. My concubine has been feeling a little unwell the past few days. She feels much better after drinking Osmanthus osmanthus clear water." Jin Chuan'er now has the posture of a chief maid, and both Yun Shang and Xiang Ling gave up willingly.
This "throne".
"Well, it's a pity that I don't have any free time during this spring break. I have to wait for two more days and have to study history and compile books." Feng Ziying was not without regret.
I originally thought that this year would be the most comfortable one. I would no longer have the pressure of studying and taking exams, I would be able to enjoy my leisure time, and I would have a few pretty maids around me. It would be like living a fairy life, but I didn’t expect that something like this happened.
"Sir, have things been settled over there? The second master of the Xue family has passed away, what will happen to their family?" Xiangling still cares about the Xue family. Seeing that the top men of the two families in the Xue family have passed away, she will definitely do the same.
It has a great influence on the Xue family.
"They helped the spirit back to Jinling. They have to observe mourning for three years and then do some justice." Feng Ziying also sighed, "That brother is a sensible person. If he can come to Beijing in three years, I would like to find a job for him."
Good business."
"What about Miss Xue Er?" Xiang Ling said with a smile: "I heard from Miss Bao that Miss Xue Er is also a shrewd and discerning person. She has followed Mr. Xue around since she was a child and has seen a lot of the world."
"Well, he is considered a leader among his peers, and he was born with a pretty face." Feng Ziying recalled that when she saw Xue Baoqin, her inquiring and suspicious eyes were really worried that she was going to annex their Xue family's property.
"More beautiful than Miss Bao?" Xiang Ling didn't seem to believe it. She was extremely confident in the beauty of her own girl. Even the most beautiful second girl in the entire Jia family was inferior to her.
"Silly girl, how can you say that a girl who is only twelve years old is pretty or not? What are you thinking about all day long?"
Feng Ziying couldn't help but reach out and tap Xiang Ling's forehead. The scarlet beauty mark, combined with her pretty face and charming demeanor, really had a strange charm.
It was also in front of several other girls, otherwise Feng Ziying would really have pinched her round and crimson cheeks. This girl had been in his house for a few months, and she seemed to have gained some weight. She must have opened up her heart.
, no more pressure, my heart is wider and my body is fatter.
The girls all laughed, which made Xiang Ling feel a little embarrassed. "Master, I didn't say anything. It's just that I have other thoughts in my heart, so I think so, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Miss Xue Er is engaged, and her future father-in-law will still be in the Hanlin Academy with me." Feng Ziying shook her head.
"Ah, do you know that master?" Several girls were a little curious. The master was actually in the Hanlin Academy with Miss Xue Er's future father-in-law?
"It's just an acquaintance." Feng Ziying didn't have much impression of Mei Zhiye, and he couldn't say whether he was good or bad.
However, he knew that this guy was a branch of the Mei family in Huangzhou, Huguang. He was somewhat arrogant and did not have a good relationship with his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy. Even his other brother Mei Zhihuan, who was from the same clan, also had a dull relationship with him, and Mei Zhihuan also had a weak relationship with him.
Jinshi Jinshi.
Mei Zhiye didn't pass the Jinshi exam until he was in his thirties, but he did well in the exam and ranked among the top two. He was selected as a Shujishi. He was already forty when he became a Shujishi. Now his son from a commoner is probably about the same age as Xue Baoqin. Wait a minute.
It's almost time to talk about marriage in three or four years.
"By the way, a Mr. Zheng came here a few days ago. He knew that he was out, so he left a message saying that he would come back and contact him. I'm afraid something happened." Jin Chuaner thought of something and hurried over.
The study brought the stickers over.
It belonged to Zheng Chongjian. People were eager to come over during the Chinese New Year, so Feng Ziying had some bad premonitions.
"Then let Ruixiang go to Songshu Alley and invite Mr. Zheng to come over." Feng Ziying waved her hand and stood up.
*********
Snow as big as goose feathers fell silently, and the town that was supposed to be lively and joyful was filled with an indescribable smell of gunpowder.
"Wow!" The big wine bowl was hit hard on the threshold, and the spilled wine splashed a burst of smoke on the muddy ground. A man whose armor had been untied revealed a strong man with a bare chest and said angrily: "This dog
Officials, they only care about making money for themselves, but they don’t get a cent. Brother, how are we going to survive this year?”
Opposite the earthen kang, a man with blood-red eyes rolled his eyes and rubbed his chin. His broad jaw and thick stubble of beard made people look intimidating.
"Why don't you go borrow some from the brothers?" Another thin man who had been leaning on the earthen bed tilted his head and spat out the grass roots in his mouth, and subconsciously pressed the palm of his hand against the pillow behind his head.
Long Dao, but his tone was unspeakably cruel.
"Borrow, why should they lend it to us? Do you think these Tatars are really willing to use their money to support our brothers after they have sworn sworn ties to us? They still have thousands of people to support. I hate Shi Guangjue.
This idiot only knows how to please these Tatars, but he guards us Han people like thieves!"
The armor was taken off, and a tuft of chest hair was exposed under his clothes. The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and a large hole was exposed in the heels of a pair of foul-smelling leather boots. A sharp dagger could be seen pressed into the black flesh.
"Brother, come up with an idea. The gang of bastards under my command can no longer be suppressed. They have been coaxing and dragging them since years ago. They only said that money will be distributed on the first day of the new year. From the first day of the new year to the ninth day of the new year, and from the ninth day of the new year to the tenth day,
Five, when did this happen? Could it be that this can fool you for a year?
"Yes, brother, I don't know where the commander-in-chief got the news. He always feels that something is wrong with these Mongolians. If something is wrong, just kill them. Now it's better to just please them. What do you want?"
What are you giving me? It's better for us. I think we won't make trouble and ignore it if we make trouble. Is there any justice in this?" The thin man fiercely slammed the long sheathed knife into the ground and said, "If you're really in a hurry, don't do it.
It’s our fault for being rude.”
"Humph, to put it simply, there are thousands of Tatars in and outside the town. Do you think Kuai Chengen is a fool? His father Kuaibai has been running this town in Ningxia for decades, and he has done everything right. What kind of commander-in-chief?
There is nothing they can do, do you think they have no ability?" The man with the big chin finally put down the hand rubbing his chin and shook his head coldly: "Even the commander-in-chief doesn't dare to touch them easily. These Tatars are raping them.
We have connections with Bu Shitu and Su Nang. If you really dare to touch them, they will dare to run into the Loop. By then, Commander Shi will probably lose his head instead of losing his hat."
"Brother, I saw that Yiyun took people to the east the day before yesterday. What do these Tatars want to do?" The open-minded man said with some doubts: "I didn't take my brother back all night and came back and said, over there in Yulin Town
There is also some movement, what are you going to do during the New Year?"
