reborn wife

Chapter 36

The rumors about Jin Yixuan were suddenly quelled after the eldest princess and the eldest son visited in turn.

The marriage fell through, and the emperor, who was appointed as an imperial envoy, has not been selected for a long time.

It's just that Prince Xian's mansion has no intention of coming to pick up Yu Shi and Xiao Xian.

Everything seems to be back to the beginning, as if nothing happened.

Apart from--

"What? Accompany the governor to investigate...cough cough cough cough..."

Early in the morning, Wen Zhiru was still drinking a bowl of hot porridge, and was almost choked to death by the boy sent by the chief assistant to deliver the message.

"Young Master, be careful!" Fu Sheng hurriedly patted his back to comfort him.

Wen Zhiru waved her hand to stop her from interrupting, "Be more specific, what's going on?"

"In the morning, the emperor appointed the son of the virtuous king as the governor of Shanxi and concurrently as the procurator of Shanxi. He asked him to leave immediately to find out the truth of the case in Shanxi. But the son said in the court that he wants you to accompany him, young master. The emperor has already nodded in agreement, and guessing that the imperial edict will arrive in a while, the master told me to come back as soon as possible to inform the young master, so that you are ready to receive the edict."

"..." When did he say that he would go to Shanxi to investigate the case?Jin, do you want to talk to yourself like this?

Wen Zhiru thought for a while and asked again: "Didn't my father have the intention of rejecting the elder son for me?"

"Uh... the master said, the young master has seen very little of the world since he was a child, so it would be good to go out of Beijing to practice."

"..." Dad, is this the rhythm of selling your son?When did you talk to that Jin Yihui so easily?

Wen Zhiru suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Qian had told him so many marriages, all of which were rejected by his father, but when Jin Yihui was mentioned at the end, his father didn't even say a word.

In the past, he thought that it was because of his status as the son of Jinyi Hunxian and his persistence that he finally won the approval of Lord Shoufu, but now it seems...

Lord Shoufu seems to have always had a much better attitude towards Jin Yihun than others.

As soon as the servant who delivered the message left, Wen Zhiru hurriedly asked Fu Cui and Fu Sheng to comb his hair and change his clothes.

The father-in-law who delivered the decree came really quickly, and he read a bunch of serious words, such as "talented, noble character, and won my heart", anyway, he almost praised him to the sky, but in the end, apart from letting him Yihui, the governor, went out to Beijing to assist in handling the accident, without mentioning his identity and position at all.

Emperor, what does this mean?Is it to let him sit on the saddle and follow the son of the world to serve and do odd jobs?

The father-in-law who delivered the decree also seemed to have seen Wen Zhiru's doubts, and after passing the imperial decree, he whispered: "The Holy One also wanted to give the eldest son the official position of inspector and secretary of the fifth rank, but Mr. Shoufu said that the son's experience It’s still shallow, so it’s removed.”

Wen Zhiru also understands his father's intentions. Although these governors and inspectors are temporary official positions, if the case goes well, the emperor will reward him when he comes back. It would be too hypocritical for him to refuse to be an official. , it would be better not to take an official position now and relax.

"Thank you eunuch for your reminder, eunuch, did the emperor tell you when to leave?"

"I don't know about this slave, but according to Shizi, he has almost prepared everything there, probably in these two days."

"Yes, I understand."

"Young Master, it's time to get ready, and the slave will not bother you."

After the father-in-law who passed the decree left, Jin Yihui also sent his entourage over, roughly explaining what to bring on the road and what not to need. As for the manpower, Jin Yihui meant not to bring the female relatives, after all, there are many roads day and night If there is any inconvenience, except for one or two servants who serve personally, the rest will be kept simple.

Wen Zhiru thought about it, Fu Cui and Fu Sheng took care of his food and clothing on weekdays, and he didn't have a servant to take care of him personally, so he decided to bring Leng Feng and Leng Yun with him, and everything else was on his own !

Fucui and Fusheng were tearing up while packing their young master's luggage, whining and talking, it was the first time in these years that the young master left his servants to go out alone, how could the servants have the heart to do so.

Qian's, Gui's and those few daughters showed much calmer, and they applauded in their hearts, hoping that he would meet some robbers, avalanche, landslide, etc. on the road, and never come back again.

Aunt Mei and Wen Yuan were more humane. They spent a day and a night making a mink fur cloak and a muff with some brocades that the emperor and the eldest princess had rewarded at the princess's birthday banquet.

As for Mr. Wen, he just said before leaving the house, "Be careful on the road, consider everything carefully, and don't lose the face of my Wen family."

Three days later, Wen Zhiru followed Jin Yihui on the carriage heading west.

This time, Jin Yihui really kept everything simple. Except for the necessary servants and a team of officers and soldiers, he brought almost no one with him, and all of them were dressed as caravans.

It seems that this son of the virtuous king really intends to play a "mini-service tour".

*************************************

The road from Beijing to Shanxi is not too far.

After leaving the city gate, head all the way to the southwest. If you go fast, you can get there in five or six days, and then from Shanxi to Taiyuan Mansion, it will take about three or four days.

When Jin Yihui and his group left the capital, it was already winter, and the sky was occasionally snowed, but fortunately the road was not too difficult.

However, the road is slippery in snowy weather, and I am even more afraid that it will be difficult to walk at night, so the stop and go along the way slowed down a lot.

Especially on the day when they first entered Shanxi, a heavy snowfall made them decide to stay in a nearby inn for a few days.

This small town is called Yangquan Town, and it can be regarded as the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture, but it is a bit far away.

At this moment, Jin Yihui and Wen Zhiru were sitting in the hall on the first floor of the inn having lunch, surrounded by bustling businessmen.

"It looks like the snow is going to fall for another three to five days. I heard that there are signs of an avalanche on the mountain road to the capital. This time, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a long time."

"Although what I'm doing this time is not a seasonal product, I can't afford it! Such a terrible weather!"

Just as the two businessmen were moaning and complaining, a burly man with a beard walked in at the door. He was wearing a leather jacket, and he threw a heavy burden half a person's height on the wooden table of the inn. There was a "clang", It attracted the attention of many people.

The Jin merchants in Shanxi have been around for some years, especially Yangquan Town, which is the only way to and from the capital.

When Jin Yihui and his party entered the town, they saw many ticket offices and bodyguard bureaus.

Of course, the bandits and bandits here have been around for a long time.

Judging by that strong man's attire, he was sent by the bandit village on the mountain to investigate the situation.

At this moment, the people in the inn looked at him with some vigilance.

"Guest officer, what do you want?" The shop waiter was used to seeing all kinds of customers, and came forward to greet him with a smile.

The big man grabbed the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. Before he could answer, he saw another official with a knife swaggering in from the door. He was probably a policeman from the town in his clothes.

As soon as the policeman entered the door, he chose a seat by the window and sat down carelessly. He slapped his saber on the table, stepped on the bench, and looked around the shop.

Of course, he also saw the burly man in the crowd. The eyes of the two intersected for a moment, and then they looked back at the square table in front of them.

He beckoned Xiao Er over, "Let me ask you, have you seen any strange and suspicious people passing by recently?"

Xiaoer smiled and poured tea for the policeman, "My lord, look at what you said, the small shop here is full of businessmen who come and go every day, which one is not a stranger? What is suspicious, sorry Little eyesight, but you can't see it."

"Yeah." The policeman nodded quickly, "What delicious food do you have today?"

"Before the snow fell in the morning, a hunter sent a sika deer just now. The top-quality venison is fresh. Do you want to try it? Add a pot of good wine to it, it will be a great supplement!"

"Yeah." The policeman waved his hand in satisfaction, telling Xiaoer to get ready.

The big man on the other side quit, and patted the table, "I said, what the hell is going on with you? When you see someone in official uniform, you rush to curry favor like seeing your own father? I'm still here waiting for your order !"

"Yes yes yes, all of you are masters, it's the younger one who didn't greet you well." The shop waiter nodded and bowed for a while to apologize, "Master, would you like some venison too?"

"Well, give me another three catties of baijiu, and open a room by the way!"

"Master, you can order good wine and good food, but this room..." The waiter left Wen Zhiru's table guiltily, "There are two rooms left this morning, and they were just full."

"Huh?!" The big man rolled his eyes, stomped his feet and stood up, and unexpectedly there was a half-finger-thick footprint on the stone slab under the ground.

Xiao Er took a step back in fright, breaking out in a cold sweat, "This... this Lord... I really didn't mean... to... embarrass you, it's really... the recent weather... bad... a guest who stayed overnight Just... just a little more."

"I'm here, you don't have any vacancies here, you really think I'm a fool!" The big man lifted the waiter's collar, and he was about to punch him.

The catcher over there finally turned around, with one hand already on the handle of the knife, as if he was thinking about whether he should make a move.

Wen Zhiru had never been out of the capital, and he had never seen such a battle. Under the emperor's feet, how could anyone dare to act wild like this. He was stunned for a while, and he wanted to save the waiter, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear of causing trouble to himself.

But at this moment, Jin Yihui stood up, and pushed away the big man's fist that was almost on the bridge of the waiter's nose, "Why is this man so angry?"

"Where is the brat meddling in other people's business?" The big man wanted to continue to move, but the fist blocked by Jin Yihui couldn't exert any force.

"Brother, just now the waiter in the shop also said that I have stayed in the last two guest rooms today. Look at this, my brother and I will squeeze together and let you have an empty room, okay?"

"……"What?Wen Zhiru blinked, feeling like he had heard wrong.

Why would he have to squeeze into such a small room with Jin Yihun!

The author has something to say: Aww~~~~~ I suddenly feel why the style of painting changes as soon as I leave the capital! ! ! !There is a tendency to develop into a martial arts style!I clearly wrote Zhaidou! ! ! ! !
