The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

With gifts of ceremonial carriages and horses, Lin Rui and his party walked more slowly than when they came.In a few days, there was a message from Sato Glory, saying that the climate was unacceptable and he couldn't make his way.At that time, the chariots and horses had just left Fujian, and neither the temperature nor the terrain had changed much.

"Prince Liangying has a lot of eyes." The other party has already asked for a break, and Lin Rui can't force him to go on the road, but he doesn't go into the inn. There are posthouses along the way, and people can stay in advance.In the courtyard of Lin Rui's posthouse, tea was set up in the main hall, and Lin Rui sat drinking tea with the two deputy envoys and Lin Mingyu.Hu Hua, the deputy envoy of the left, was born in a family, a young man in his twenties, when he was young and energetic, turned the teacup in his hand and snorted coldly.

The right envoy Zou Sheng is an old man in the Ministry of Rites. After all these years, his qualifications have not been promoted. He is about to retire. He likes to be a peacemaker the most. At this time, he persuaded: "It may not be the case. I listen It is said that the Liangying people live on a small island, which is no bigger than the state capital of Dahong. I think I have never seen anything in the world. The journey is bumpy, and it is reasonable to feel uncomfortable. Lord Hu, worry too much. "

Hu Hua was not convinced: "Lord Zou, it's not that I worry too much. This Liangying country's mission this time is out of good intentions? In the past three or four years, did Liangying and Dahong communicate through each other? I heard that there was a lot of wind and rain on the sea last year. , I have been affected by many fishermen. The small land of Liangying Island, I guess the impact is even greater. Do you think they are here to fight famine?"

Lin Mingyu glanced at him with bright eyes, seeing the sarcasm on his face, his expression was very disapproving, and he couldn't help agreeing in his heart: "Dahong has some people who understand."

Zou Sheng still cringed a little, as if he was afraid of offending someone, Hu Hua looked down on him, and he showed it in his words.Lin Mingyu didn't know if Zou Sheng felt it, but he didn't show anything unusual.

After a cup of tea, Lin Rui stood up and was about to rest. Before they left, he made a point: "The post house is no different than other places. Martial law has been imposed. Let the envoy of Liangying know and don't wander around. What's the matter?" If necessary, you should be thoughtful first, and don't let them have anything to say to the court."

Hu Hua nodded in agreement, but Zou Sheng still had a bitter face, with a "why is that so" expression.

After the two left, Lin Mingyu stretched his muscles in the courtyard.After sitting in the carriage for several days, even though the official road was flat and the carriage was covered with cushions, he felt stiff.He originally wanted to ride a horse, but most of the time he sneaked into Lin Rui's carriage in order not to attract attention.

Seeing him getting active, Lin Rui smiled and said, "You're tired, rest early today, follow me to see Prince Sato tomorrow."

"Ninth brother, do you also believe that he is not acclimatized?"

Lin Rui brushed off a leaf from his hair for him, and said slowly, "Whether it's a real illness or a fake illness, the trip has been delayed, let him recuperate. We are always in no hurry."

Lin Mingyu turned around in her heart, and then she understood.If Glory Sato wanted to inquire about Dahong's situation, he also chose the wrong time.The inside of this post house is now closed like an iron cage, with no way in or out, only enough for him to recuperate.Besides, the situation in Liangying is already very serious, and they can't afford to waste this time.

Naturally, the envoys from Liangying were not very stable that night, and they tried their best to leave the post house at night, but they encountered a nail that was neither soft nor hard.Lin Mingyu and Lin Rui lived in the same yard, and slept soundly until dawn.

Before it was too late, Lin Rui took the left and right deputy envoys to visit Sato Glory. Lin Mingyu followed him, and no one dared to ask even though some people were curious.

Glory Sato looks feminine, and her complexion is too fair.Now that he is weak, he doesn't wear powder anymore, but he looks much more pleasing to the eye.It's just that there was an unhealthy whiteness on his face, and his brows and eyes were frowning, showing a charm that was not as good as his daughter's.Zou Shengren is not old at heart, so he lost his composure at the moment.

Lin Rui glanced at him lightly, and the old man came back to his senses.

"Master Sato, how is your health? I have sent for a doctor, and he will be here soon."

Glory Sato leaned on the pillow, with black hair hanging loose, and a small face the size of a palm. He smiled weakly and said, "Master Laurin is concerned. I'm just not acclimatized. I'll be fine after a day or two of rest. I'm just afraid that it will delay my journey." It's time."

Lin Rui showed full concern: "Your body is important, and Mr. Sato doesn't have to worry about other things. If you need it, just tell me, I will come to see you in these two days, and you take good care of your illness."

"My subordinates have come all the way from Liangying with me, and have admired Dahong's prosperity for a long time. With my illness, they have nothing to do. I wonder if Mr. Lin can arrange for someone to take them out for a walk to see more Have you seen Dahong's demeanor?"

Hu Hua continued: "Master Sato, you are distinguished guests who have come from afar, so we naturally have to treat them well. The folk customs in these prefectural capitals are very aggressive, which is a bit abrupt, all envoys, I think you should take a good rest in the post house. "

"This..." Glory Sato cast a hesitant look at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui smiled and said: "Master Hu said exactly what I mean. If your envoy admires Dahong's style, it's easy." He noticed the change in Sato's expression, and said to Hu Hua: "Master Hu, you go today Invite some jugglers and theater troupes to the city, so that you can have a good time. Arrange more interesting people to come in these two days, so as not to make you envoys bored."

Hu Huayan smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to do my best, and let the envoys see the prosperity of Dahong."

Sato Glory's face turned pale again, but this time no one paid any attention to him.

After a few days like this, Lin Rui only said that the envoy Rong was recuperating, but he himself did not come to visit him in person, and only Zou Sheng was willing to greet him every day.

Hu Huafang sent the two storytellers to the courtyard of Liangying Envoy, Zou Sheng still went to the inner courtyard to meet Sato Glory, Hu Hua waited impatiently for him, and went back to Lin Rui first.

"This Zou Chaozhi has hit it off with Liangying, even if you, my lord, don't have the kind of energy to join in front of Sato Glory, don't mess up the errand to know how good it is." Hu Hua said to Zou Sheng It's a hundred people who don't like it, and now Zou Sheng's attitude is in his eyes, which makes him even more ashamed.He is a quick talker, and when he gets angry, there is nothing to block him in front of Lin Rui.

Lin Rui knew it well, and comforted him: "Master Zou has his own ideas in his heart. As long as he doesn't have any disadvantages, if he likes to go, let him go. It's better to be more friendly among colleagues. Today's people can take care of themselves." gone?"

Knowing that he was changing the subject, Hu Hua took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and turned her anger into joy: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I personally chose this person, and I have made it clear. They are all seasoned people, and they will never fail to handle their errands." The people of Liangying don't know whether they are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. They are trying so hard to find out about Dahong. Do you really think that we don't know? It's ridiculous."

"Maybe it was intentional to show clumsiness?" Lin Mingyu answered unconsciously.

Hu Hua already knew about his relationship with Lin Rui, and from Lin Rui's point of view, she was polite to him, but this was only superficial politeness, and she disapproved of what he said in her heart.

Lin Rui nodded, "Mingyu's words are very reasonable. Zihua, you've started to despise them now. After holding back these days, I'm afraid they will make some moves."

Hu Hua was taken aback for a moment, then startled, and there was already a thin layer of sweat on her back.Looking back on what happened in the past few days, I was not emotionally affected by the treatment, and even now I regard the other party as a bird in a cage.If Liang Ying really had some conspiracy, he would be defenseless.

Zou Sheng didn't return to his courtyard until almost midnight, his complexion was ruddy, and his footsteps were a little lighter than usual.Hu Hua lived in the same courtyard as him, and happened to have dinner from Lin Rui at this moment.Seeing Zou Sheng, he stopped, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Master Zou, you just came back just now, but have you eaten?"

Zou Sheng patted his chin unnaturally to cover up the oil on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Master Hu, you just came back this time, hehe, it's getting late, I'll go back to rest first."

Hu Hua said: "Lord Zou, is Prince Sato feeling better?"

Zou Sheng paused, and said with an embarrassed smile: "That's it. Master Hu has also visited him today, so why ask me again."

Hu Hua sneered: "I just stood there for a while and then came back. How can I be more clear than Mr. Zou asking for warmth. After all, this is an errand assigned by the Holy Spirit. Who of us would not dare to be vigilant and take care of the errand. Don't you think so?"

Zou Sheng's face was not very good-looking, Nuonuo agreed.

Hu Hua snorted softly, and entered the courtyard first.

Zou Sheng stopped in the yard for a while, shook his head, and finally sighed with infinite regret.

Later, someone from Liangying sent someone to visit Zou Sheng. According to the agreement, the person learned how to meow for a while in the corridor, and then Zou Sheng came out of the house.

"Lord Zou, the Prince is ready."

Zou Sheng murmured vaguely, looked left and right, and murmured: "All the people serving in the yard have gone to Mr. Lin's place, but I couldn't find a driver." : "The prince is in the carriage, I will drive in to pick up your lord."

"Alas..." Zou Sheng opened his mouth, waved his hands and said, "Go, go. The sound of horseshoes is a bit loud."

After a while, a carriage with horseshoes wrapped in a soft cloth drove into the yard, the man sat in the driver's seat, went to the yard to look around, turned on the lights, but there was no one there, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

"What's the matter?" Glory Sato waited in the carriage for a while, but there was no movement, so he opened the curtain and poked his head out.When I came out, I felt a little uneasy.

"Where is Mr. Zou?"

The follower said: "I don't know either. We agreed to wait here. I'll call him out again."

Sato Glory frowned, and there was a touch of affectionate melancholy on his delicately made-up face.

The man meowed like a cat in the corridor.This was also an appointment with Zou Sheng in advance.
