Chapter 287

The palace in Jialing Mansion was repaired by the first emperor, compared to the palace in Yangzhou, it is not a little more luxurious.

In the past few years, there were serious uprisings in the south, but Jialing Mansion was nothing serious.

Now it was the first time for Emperor An to come here, and Taishou Meng led a group of officials out of the city to greet him, and they knelt on the ground early.

Even though Jialing Mansion is poor every year and it is always difficult to pay taxes, but when the emperor came, they had to use the highest etiquette to welcome him.No matter how much she scolds her in her heart, on the surface she behaves well.

It was morning when we arrived, and Su Nancheng was so busy that he didn't go back to his residence until late at night.The new environment, even if someone was sent to check it early in the morning.He also has to rearrange his defenses, and any accidents are his troubles.

Dongmei heard that he came back and came to see him.

"Why don't you sleep so late?"

"I fell asleep when I was tired during the day, and waited for a while when I heard that Master Hou hadn't come back at night. Did you eat?" Dongmei asked.

"Use it, use it with me, I really didn't eat well this day." Su Nancheng nodded.

Dongmei asked people to arrange meals.

Su Nancheng just changed his clothes here, and the letter from home arrived yesterday, so he didn't have time to read it.

When it was opened, there were two letters in one envelope.One is Feng Zhujun's family letter, and the other is Du Ping'an's family letter.

Let's look at Mr. Toyotake first, she is mainly talking about family members.She is good, the child is good, and Shen's fetus is also stable, but she is greedy, so she stops it.Don't tell Chen Shi to eat too much, so as not to suffer the pain of having a child.

He also said that everyone in the Marquis of Chengkang's mansion was also well. The mother-in-law Feng had a cough a while ago, and she wanted to take care of the sick, but the mother-in-law only asked her to take care of her for a day.

Su Nancheng said in his heart that now you are a Mrs. Hou, even if she still has money from her aunt, it's not easy for you to keep up the rules.

Now that there are only a few people in the family, Mr. Feng Zhu will not harm the Shen family, and the Shen family will not harm the mistress and children, so it is no big deal.

Du Ping'an's letter mainly talked about things outside, as well as things in the mansion he was looking at.I also reported that the young master is good, and so is Aunt Shen.

As for the outside affairs, Xie Qi and his party, the three words "Zhan Lijue" are really conspicuous.

The letter was sent out six days ago, and the decisive decision at that time has now been done.

After reading the letter, Su Nancheng put it aside.

"Is it a letter from home? Is everything all right at home?" Dongmei asked.

She didn't dare to ask anything else, that's all.

"It's all good." Su Nancheng looked at her: "Take a good rest tomorrow, it is inevitable that someone will come to see you, you have to be a little bit more modest."

"I've made up my mind, and I won't see anyone. Otherwise, I won't be able to handle it properly." She didn't think of this at first, so Qiu Ju reminded her.

Now that my Lord Marquis is in full swing, the only one brought out this time is a female family member. Although she is only a concubine, she is also well-known.

The family members of the local officials will definitely come to visit. Even if the first wife does not come, other female family members will come.

If you see it, then everyone will see it, and if you don't, you will offend others.So it's better not to see.

"After a few days to rest, I will take someone out for a walk." Su Nancheng said.

"Okay, I know all about it. You just have to go." Sometimes Dongmei called you Young Master, and sometimes called Hou Ye.

It's the same anyway, Su Nancheng doesn't stop him.

"Master Hou, the meal is here, shall we serve it?" Chunying came over and asked.

Su Nancheng agreed, and soon the meal was served outside.

It's really late, the two of them should go to bed after eating this meal.Dongmei didn't go back to the backyard anymore, she just rested here.

Before dawn, Su Nancheng was called up.Dongmei was also busy getting up to serve, but he stopped her: "It's not in the mansion, there is no need to be so strict, just sleep here, wake up and go back. I don't know when I will be back today, don't wait."

Dongmei nodded and she was really obedient, but thinking about dinner, let's wait for a while.

The emperor said it was a tour to the south, but there was really no arrangement for this tour.

He didn't even think about inspecting the embankment or inspecting the people's fields.

Just came out to play.

It's just that Jialing Mansion is not the capital after all, Su Nancheng dare not take it lightly, today's task is to check all the defensive places in the city.

The emperor is now in Jialing Mansion, the Habayashi Guard and the City Defense Battalion must guard the inside and outside of the palace.And the city defense battalion is more important than the Habayashi Guards, to defend the entire Jialing Mansion.

However, for the defense of the city, there are people from the infantry battalion to help.

The local garrison is about to retreat.

I threw people out last night, but I have to check again today.Su Nancheng's main fear is that someone will assassinate him. Whether it succeeds or not, it is their fault for alarming the emperor.

Yang Xiong was even more afraid, he didn't have Su Nancheng's family background yet, once something happened, he couldn't bear it.He didn't dare to leave all night, staring at Habayashi Wei who arranged the inside and outside of the palace.

As for the infantry battalion, the deputy commander, Mr. Zhang, came this time.I was also busy with Su Nancheng early in the morning.

The local garrison had already withdrawn the day before yesterday, and only a small part of assistance was left at this time, and they were not allowed to enter the city.

They dare not say that they are foolproof, at least they have done everything they can.

The emperor summoned the local officials in the palace, as well as the southern beauties presented by the local officials.For several days, the emperor did not do a serious thing.

It seemed that the endless rain had finally stopped, and Su Nancheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was really going to die from the tide.

It was rare for him to be free, so he took Dongmei out for a stroll.

Tired of walking, I entered a teahouse.

There are storytellers on the stage, who talk about talented scholars and beauties, but there are many people below, but they are not very supportive.They asked for something more interesting.

The old storyteller didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to ask everyone what they wanted to hear.

A young scholar stood up and said loudly: "If you want me to tell you, just talk about how to go to the south of the Yangtze River?"

This "Going to the South of the Yangtze River" was originally a playbook from the previous dynasty. It talked about some things that an emperor encountered when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. One of them was that he met a son who landed. .

The emperor liked his talent, so he investigated his case, took advantage of the opportunity to lead out the fraud in the examination room, and executed many ministers when he returned to Beijing.

It is true that such an emperor did this, but it has little to do with Xia Jiangnan.It's all folk fiction.But everyone still likes this one.

Before the old man could speak, another person who looked like a scholar snorted coldly: "This one is going to Jiangnan, not that one. The emperor in the book went to Jiangnan to understand the people's sentiments. What is this one doing now?"

"That's right, what's there to say? If you're a successful student, you have to meet Ming Jun, and wash away your grievances. What are we? Since the late emperor was in his old age, we haven't started a course to obtain a scholar for eight years. What do we want to go to Jiangnan?" He said with a pair of eyes. He squinted at people with hanging eyes, full of irony.All that can be said is the truth.
