Jinyi Night Walk

Fu Guogong's mansion will be moved to Beijing.

This is going to live in Beijing for a long time, this mansion in Nanjing can only stay with a few family members to take care of it, and in the future they will only live here when they come to the south for a tour, so all the maids and servants in the Duke's mansion have to go north with them.

The servants who were originally hired locally were reluctant to leave their homeland, so they were sent away, and they were recruited in Beijing.Those who have been demoted to official slaves by the family members of criminal officials or those who have signed a contract of sale have to go with them.

There are more than a thousand people in the Fuguo Duke's mansion, plus their family members, old and young, there are a total of five to six thousand people. These people all have luggage, and the team is huge and dangdang, fully equipped with eight large boats.

Yanziji, Xia Xun and his family are about to board the ship. The royal relatives, dignitaries and heroes in Nanjing have all moved to Nanjing. There is no qualification to see him off, so Liu Yujue is the only one to see him off.

"Brother, take care!"

Xia Xun bowed to Liu Yujue, and Liu Yujue bowed his hand to return the gift, a little disappointed and said: "Brother has been away for two years, and when he comes back this time, he and my younger brother are really born, there are so many etiquettes."

Xia Xun laughed loudly: "Haha, it's not surprising that many people say that they are polite, but you think I'm too polite, okay, okay, then brother, I won't say much, I'm leaving now, you..."

As soon as he said this, when he flew over, he called from afar: "Master Fuguo! Lord Fuguo!"

Xia Xun and Liu Yujue looked around in surprise, and saw a man dressed as a rich family servant galloping over on a black horse, because Xia Xun was wearing casual clothes, so he didn't dare to recognize him, so he hurriedly got off his horse and saluted, "Who is the Lord Fu? "

Liu Yujue said: "This is Duke Fu. Whose house are you from? What's the matter?"

Hearing this, the family member hurried forward to kneel down for Xia Xun, and said, "Master Cao, the younger one is the servant of Duke Cao's mansion. Duke Cao will be here soon, please wait a moment, Duke Guo."

"Oh! Li Jinglong?"

Xia Xun was a little surprised that he hadn't dealt with Li Jinglong for a long time, and he didn't expect that the Duke who had been at home would come to see him off.Xia Xun asked Liu Yujue in a low voice, "Has Duke Cao not moved to Beijing yet?"

Liu Yujue stayed in Nanjing to take care of the aftermath. The so-called aftermath is actually to urge all the dignitaries, dignitaries, civil and military ministers who should move to Beijing not to be reluctant or procrastinating. So although Li Jinglong has faded out of politics long ago, Liu Yujue is clear about his movements. , and said: "Cao Guogong fell ill a few days ago, so he didn't move north in time..."

This was for Cao Guogong’s family. After Liu Yujue finished speaking, he immediately lowered his voice and said in a low voice, “As far as I know, the illness is fake, and I’m not willing to let his farms, manor houses and many shops be abandoned here. Except for a few places that his confidants took care of, he took care of the other fields, houses, and shops by himself, sold them one by one, and exchanged them for gold and silver."

Xia Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

At the beginning, Li Jinglong was accused by Chen Ying and others that "sitting at home and being greeted by people in the court is as immoral as a monarch and his ministers; his younger brother increased branches and established farmland, and kept thousands of children and servants, with ulterior motives." Meng Zhi, who lived for ten days, left Xia Xun's relationship and asked him for an idea, which saved himself.

In the original history, Li Jinglong would lose his title because of this catastrophe, and Cao Guogong's lineage would end for three generations. Because of Xia Xun's intervention, his title was actually kept. But after this catastrophe, Li Jinglong's frivolous temperament changed Many, often restraining family members and children, living in peace, gradually faded out of the officialdom and the circle of relatives.Since then, Li Jinglong is no longer interested in power but has greatly increased his interest in money.

Since Li Jinglong was coming to see him off, Xia Xun and Liu Yujue had no choice but to wait at the pier. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a group of people appeared in the distance. Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were not surprised when they saw it. There are hundreds of cars, and there are a large number of attendants around the convoy. Is this a gift?How is it like moving.

While being surprised, several horses galloped forward first, and dismounted one after another in front of Xia Xun. The next person, wearing a brocade robe and cloak, stepped forward quickly and said to Xia Xun, "Wenxuan, it's been a long time, it's been a long time! I'm ashamed. Busy with family affairs for my brother, I didn't hear the news until Wenxuan was about to leave, luckily there was still time."

This person was Li Jinglong. Xia Xun thought that he was pampered at home, so he should be much fatter than before, but he didn't want to look at him with a clear face, but he was thinner than before.

This Li Jinglong was already handsome, but now his temperament is less frivolous and lazy than when he was young, and he is more talented, and there is a spirit in his bones. It seems that after leaving the officialdom, Li Jinglong's self-cultivation skills have greatly increased.

Xia Xun hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Jiujiang, it's been a long time, it's been a long time. You are..."

Xia Xun pointed to the long convoy behind him, and Li Jinglong laughed suddenly: "Haha, blame me, blame me, I know that Xun'er is late, and I'm afraid Wen Xuan will leave and catch up, so I sent someone to chase the Duke without explaining reason."

Li Jinglong said: "Brother Wei is not here to see you off, but to go north with you!"

Xia Xun was startled, seemed to be in a daze, blinked his eyes, and said, "You... you and I... go north together?"

Li Jinglong smiled and said: "Yes, the former princes and ministers moved to the north. I didn't catch up. If I drag it on, I won't be able to catch up with the emperor to pay New Year's greetings. But it is too difficult for me to drag so many people with my family to travel by land. As for the waterway, the seaway is full of wind and waves, and occasionally there are small bands of pirates, do you think the nursing home can be fully protected by my family members?"

While speaking, Li Jinglong tapped his boots with the horse sheath, very leisurely: "I heard that Wenxuan is going north, it's very good, we just happen to be a companion."

"Uh uh uh……"

"Ok?"

Li Jinglong was a little unhappy: "Wenxuan, don't you want to go on the road with me, Li Jinglong?"

"No, no, brother Jiujiang, where did you come from? I mean... oh, my boat is full of people. Brother Jiujiang is dragging families, men, women and children, this..."

"Hahahaha...you, you, you Yang Wenxuan, hahaha, sometimes you are confused, you say I have so many people, can I take your boat? I just want to be with you It’s just on the same road. Here, look, my boat is coming. Li Jinglong pointed at him with a whip. Xia Xun turned his head and saw two big boats coming down the upper reaches of the Yangtze River ostentatiously, and stopped by the river. Li Jinglong turned around. He ordered: "Hurry up, hurry up, first load the things onto the boat, and let's go with Duke Fu. "

"Hula la" a group of women and children came first, they were Li Jinglong's wives, concubines and children, and they rushed to the big boat. Among them, a beautiful young woman in her thirties even saluted Xia Xun Yingying, and called out in a loud voice: "Fu Duke!"

Xia Xun took a look and saw that it was Li Jinglong's concubine Yizhuo.

Immediately, the servants of the family, the maids and maids, frantically moved things to the boat, and Xia Xun was dumbfounded.

Li Jinglong glanced at Xia Xun, leaned closer and whispered: "Wenxuan, I have a good friend of yours here, and I want to go to Beijing with him. Originally, he wanted to take my ride, but now I I want to walk with you, but I have to tell you."

Xia Xun hadn't woken up from the shock yet. Hearing what Li Jinglong said, he was even more surprised: "Which one else?"

Li Jinglong turned his head and smiled, and a man flashed out from among his few guards, clasped his fists at Xia Xun, called: "Duke!" and burst into tears.

Xia Xun took a look and couldn't help standing dumbfounded on the spot.

It turned out that this person was Xie Jin. Xie Jin was put into imperial prison by Ji Gang. After Ji Gang put him to death, Xie Jin was naturally released, but Emperor Yongle refused to resume his official position. Xie Jin was an official mistress and he was only 40 Many years old, unwilling to go home to take care of the elderly, so he stayed in Jinling to clear up the relationship.

However, his popularity is not very good. Only a few colleagues in the cabinet have a good relationship, but he was originally the chief assistant of the cabinet. If he is invited back, all the cabinet ministers have to take a step back and make way for him. Who can be helpless? To that point?

As a result, Xie Jin had been active in Beijing for a long time without achieving anything.Xie Jin was helpless, so he wanted to go to Beijing to find another opportunity. At the beginning, he relied on a copy of "Yongle Yuji Enthronement Edict" to make a fortune. When he arrived in Beijing, he might not have the opportunity to write another article and be appreciated by the emperor.

But when he was in prison, in order to save him from suffering, he managed his family from top to bottom and had already dispersed all his wealth. Now the family is so poor that only books are left. Xie Jin's books are not good, let alone a collection of [-] volumes. But he loves books like his life, and he is reluctant to sell them. As a result, he can't even make up the money, so he wants to take his family on a ride.

Ordinary officials really dare not take him with them. This kind of unlucky figure in the officialdom is a broom star. Who wants to have a relationship with him?His in-laws, Hu Guang, who is now the chief assistant of the cabinet, were among the first to go to Beijing, so they couldn't help.

As a result, Xie Jin found Li Jinglong. The two had known each other in the early years, not to mention, it was probably because they were both fallen in the world, or Li Jinglong had given up the idea of ​​re-entering the officialdom long ago, and he didn't mind getting involved with such a thing. Unlucky, he agreed.

But Li Jinglong took a long time to deal with the pots and jars at home, and Li Jinglong also missed the best time to go north. It was not until today that he learned that Xia Xun was going north that he came to accompany him.

Xie Jin knew that he had repeatedly ignored Xia Xun's advice, which disappointed Xia Xun. He had been active in Nanjing for so long, and many officials were unwilling to help. One of the big reasons was that Xia Xun had given up on him. Officials are too lazy to help because of low-level considerations.

Xie Jin himself was a little ashamed to see his old friend. When Li Jinglong pointed him out, Xie Jin was ashamed, so he had to bite the bullet and go up to meet him. Xia Xun couldn't help being even more stunned when he saw it was him.Xie Jin was ashamed, and he didn't dare to lift his head. He just bowed his head and called, "Duke!"

Xia Xun looked at this talented official mistress, and smiled wryly for a while before saying, "Brother Gentleman..."

Xie Jin said: "Xie Jin doesn't dare to be called the Duke of the State again. Xie Jin is extremely ashamed that he has failed the Duke of the State. Originally, Xie Jin had no face to see the Duke of the State again, so he asked Duke Cao for help and took his ride. The boat goes to Beijing, if you don’t think about it, you will inevitably meet the Duke..."

Having said that, Xie Jin couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Xia Xun looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, thinking in his heart: "These two living treasures... Could this be God's will?"
