Brother's Road to Promotion

On the morning when Song Yu left, Jiang Yu, who had been tossed by him all night, never woke up, nor did he wake anyone up.

Originally, he did it on purpose last night, because he was afraid that the person who had been silent for the past two days would regret it and really want to follow. He could see that Jiang Yu didn't give up.

Jiang Yu is usually docile and obedient, and rarely asks for anything. Compared with a year ago, not only Jiang Yu, but also him has changed a lot. If Jiang Yu really wants to do something now, Song Yu can't say whether he can do it or not. He firmly rejected him, but he was really reluctant to let people follow him to suffer.

Turning his head and looking at Guangqing City, Song Yu flicked the reins and rushed to the front of the escort team.

Not only for Lin Boxuan and Lin Yan, but also for the tens of thousands of soldiers in the border town, he had to go this time.

He made complete preparations in advance, this time he must save the food and grass for this trip, as well as the lives of those soldiers who died in vain.

The person under the brocade quilt moved his body, his thick eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. The position beside him had become icy cold, indicating that the person who fell asleep together yesterday had already left.

Jiang Yu was lying on his side on the bed, a hair of blue hair winding down on the side, but the owner of the blue hair did not move for a while, listening to the sound of the wind blowing outside the window.

Guangqing City is to the north, and a few snow particles have fallen in the past two days, and the howling cold wind blows on the face like a knife.

How could a pampered man like his son endure such bad weather?

Jiang Yu got up, put on his clothes and opened the door, and saw A Qing was waiting outside with his hands in his hands at a glance, his green face and cheeks were flushed by the cold wind.

"Since the young master is not here, there is no need to wait outside in the future. It is cold today, so be careful not to freeze."

Ah Qing, who was originally shrunk, immediately cheered up when he heard the words, but he didn't refuse, "Young master Xie Xiaoyu is considerate." In this weather, it is cold to stand outside early in the morning, no matter how many clothes you wear.

Jiang Yu smiled, but the smile disappeared for a moment, "My lord... what can I say before leaving?"

"Yes!" Ah Qing immediately said, "Young master said that the rumors are all nonsense, you can't believe it, let Young Master Xiaoyu wait here with peace of mind."

rumor?

Is this reminding him that the news from the border town is unreliable or something else?

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes and nodded.

Seeing that Jiang Yu didn't speak, Ah Qing just lowered his eyelids in thought, the sky outside was dark, and one side of the person in front of him was so handsome that people couldn't take his eyes off it, as if he was shining.

The cold wind blew the hair around his ears, his fair cheeks, his straight nose, his brows and eyes seemed to be stained with the poetry of Jiangnan, and he was completely different from those rough men in Guangqing City.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yu, the eldest son will be back in two months at the latest. Our Daqi's guards are very powerful. There will be no danger for the eldest son to go to the border town to pick up the goods." Ah Qing couldn't help comforting him.

"Two months?"

Jiang Yu frowned and turned his head, with doubts in his eyes, "Isn't it half a month to go back and forth from Guangqing City to the border city?"

"That's right, if it's normal, it's okay to hurry up for half a month. With the weather like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a couple of months." A Qing explained.

"Really?"

"Of course, I wouldn't dare to lie to you young master," A Qing couldn't help adding in order to increase his credibility, "People who often travel between Guangqing Mansion and the border town know about this."

Jiang Yu's eyes turned cold, but the corners of his mouth still curled up, "Thank you, Ah Qing, for letting me know."

Ah Qing was a little happy to be thanked, "There is breakfast in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you."

Now it is November, if Song Yu can't come back for half a month, I'm afraid Jiang Yu will have to live alone this year.

Jiang Yu went back to the house with no expression on his face, but his chest was heaving.

If Song Yu was in front of him at this moment, Jiang Yu might not be able to control himself, as he did when Song Yu tricked him into drowning, he yelled at him without any scruples.

Unfortunately, without people in front of him, he could only sulk secretly, but there was nothing he could do.

In the middle of the night of the second day, it started to snow outside, and in the morning, a two-inch-high layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground, and Jiang Yu began to worry again, fearing that Song Yu, who was used to being served regardless of the five grains What happened to the man.

Jiang Yu is a big-hearted person, and the days when Song Yu is not around are actually not difficult for him. Jiang Yu is the person with the highest status in the house at the moment, and Song Yu has left enough money for him. Yu saved some money, so it would not be a problem to live like this for five or six years, plus he still had some money himself, so he would not worry about expenses at all.

Jiang Yu practiced swordsmanship, and when the weather was good, he took Ah Qing to the market to see what new products were available. As the New Year approached, many people sold all the good products they had saved for a year, hoping to have a good year.

Jiang Yu picked and bought what he wanted, wandered around the city looking for good wine, and even went to several flower houses, but he received several wine prescriptions.

Except for thinking about where Song Yu is now in the dead of night, how can it be sad to be completely free without having to wait on others.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Jiang Yu brewed two jars of wine, and found a new hobby, going to the teahouse to listen to books.

There is a lot of traffic in the teahouse, and you can often hear news that others don't know.

This day, Jiang Yu got up early again, now it's the end of the year, and the new year will be in a few days, the business in the teahouse is even better.

"Have you heard that the grain and grass sent to the border town were robbed this time?"

"Really? But Zong Lan's people intercepted it?"

"The defenders of the border town blocked Zong Lan's cavalry from outside the city. The grain and grass sent to the border town were robbed at this moment. Could it be that there is an inner ghost?"

"If there is a shortage of food and grass, I don't know how long the border town can last."

......

"My lord!" Ah Qing quickly snatched the teapot from Jiang Yu's hand, "Is it hot?"

The tea was all brewed with freshly boiled hot water, and Jiang Yu didn't even notice when the tea overflowed. At this moment, some water had flowed down the table, soaking the corner of Jiang Yu's robe sleeve.

Jiang Yu acted as if he had never heard it, got up and walked in front of the three people who spoke just now. Those people had the look of years of wind and frost on their faces.

"Everyone," Jiang Yu gave a salute, "I just heard from this elder brother about the robbery of grain and grass in Xiajiang Yu, is it true?"

"To tell you the truth, I have a cousin who is a small soldier guarding the border town. If the grain and grass are robbed, then this elder brother may be in danger for his life. Now he is really worried."

"Brother, can you tell me if this is true?"

"This..." A tall and strong man with a beard looked at the young man in front of him who looked like a son of a family, and he was a little embarrassed. Go check it out yourself."

Jiang Yu thought he settled the tea money calmly, and went to Xiangqing cloth village when he left the house.

He had already discovered that in every prefecture they passed by, there were large or small cloth houses named Xiangqing, all of which were secretly owned by Song Yu, and they should be used to convey news.

At this moment, no one knew Song Yu's news better than them.

"Is the shopkeeper there?" Jiang Yu grabbed the clerk on the cabinet and asked as soon as he entered the door.

The clerk looked at the person in front of him without any trace, and looked at the nobleman with all his body, and said politely: "The shopkeeper went out a few days ago, and he is not in the shop at the moment. If the guest officer wants anything, the younger one can give it to me." You introduce."

Jiang Yu let go of the guy's arm, his face was a little ugly, and he forced a smile: "It's almost Chinese New Year, it's freezing outside, why is the shopkeeper still going out this time?"

"Who knows!" The clerk was also very puzzled, "Suddenly he said that he wanted to go out, so he left the store to us and left."

Going out suddenly was something I hadn't thought of before.

Jiang Yu turned around and walked out, Song Yu was their master, if Song Yu hadn't had an accident, how could the shopkeeper go out suddenly.

Hurrying back home, Jiang Yu ordered the housekeeper to harness the horse, packed up some clothes, and was about to go out.

"My lord, where are you going?" A Qing, who had been following Jiang Yu, stepped forward to stop Jiang Yu who was about to mount his horse.

"Ah Qing, I have something to go out, you get out of the way." Jiang Yu said nicely.

"Where are you going?" Ah Qing still held the horse's rein to prevent it from moving. "If you want to go to the border town, the little one will definitely not let you go. The eldest son said before he left that you should wait for him here."

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Yu's face darkened.

The housekeeper didn't think that he wanted to go to the border town. Before Song Yu left, he told him to watch people carefully. How could he let people go, so he and Ah Qing stopped in front of the horse without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath and turned back to the house, but he didn't come out to eat for a day.

Before dawn on the second day, Jiang Yu took the packed luggage and quietly led the horse out.

After walking against the cold wind for a while, I found that it was too much to bear, so I put on two cotton coats and a thick cloak to continue driving.

After leaving the city gate, I rode a horse for two days. When I felt feverish on my forehead, I rested for half a day in a passing town, bought a carriage, went to prepare two medicines, and came back to eat. The medicinal materials were placed on the carriage before continuing along the official road to the border town.

With one experience, Jiang Yu was a little impulsive when he heard the news at first, but now he has calmed down after being blown by the cold wind for two days.

It's a good thing not to see anyone.

He is here to find someone, not to die, and he still has to take care of his own body.

I thought so, but Jiang Yu never stopped, he was still taking the medicine, and the carriage was still driving.

It's just that a carriage is more comfortable than riding a horse. After a few days, Jiang Yu's fever subsided.

Don't look at Sutou, drive to the sunset every day, and find a sheltered place to rest at random. After half a month, Jiang Yu finally saw the towering gate of the border city.

Along the way, every time Jiang Yu went to a larger town, he would inquire about some news about the border towns and grain and grass, but these news were not known to the common people, and finally he simply went on his way.

But what he didn't know was that on the second day after he left, the housekeeper who was in mourning welcomed a messenger.

"Master Jiang Yu Jiang lives here?"

"Yes, sir?"

"A young master asked the younger one to deliver a letter to Young Master Jiang."

The butler took the thin envelope and thanked him, "Is the person who asked you to deliver the letter surnamed Song?"

"It's too small to be clear."

The butler glanced at the closed door of the main room, but unfortunately the person who received the letter left one step earlier.

The author has something to say:

Song Yu: Rumors are harmful, do you understand? !

Jiang Yu: I don’t understand
