Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 957 The Unkind Xia Xun

Sakura followed Xia Xun away.

A little girl who falls in love is always easier to coax, Xia Xun, a big liar who hasn't lied for a long time, just said: "I can't trust anyone else except you!" After Xun returned to the capital, Jin Yiwei was in charge of the affairs of Wala's side, and Xia Xun's people could only retreat to the periphery in order to avoid being exposed. A person who is familiar with the local customs.And Xia Xun said: "I can't trust anyone else except you!" He was only referring to the Jinyiwei who were handling the Wansongling matter, they were Ji Gang's people.

Whatever it is, Sakura is happy about it, isn't she?

Xia Xun went north with only two girls, Qiaoyun and Xianya, with her. Don't underestimate the girl who waits on the master. A qualified maid should be familiar with the rhythm of the master's life, know the master's habits of dressing and wearing hats, and what to do. Knowing the owner's eating habits, when the owner needs something, she can offer it in a timely manner. This is a caring girl. You can't ask the owner to worry about everything and give orders personally, but there is only such an advantage as running errands diligently.

Originally, Ziqi and Xiaodi also wanted to go with them. Ziqi wanted to go back to his hometown to have a look. Xiaodi lived in Shandong since childhood and regarded it as his hometown. It was really inappropriate for Lao Dun, and in addition to Zi Qi's status as a wife, the emperor allowed him to bring his concubine with him, but he didn't allow him to take his wife and children to take office, so the proposal had to be dropped.

Tang Saier's family accompanied Xia Xun to the north. The reason why Tang Saier left was to send her master, Granny Qiu, back to her hometown.The old people pay attention to return to the root of the fallen leaves. Granny Qiu is too old. In recent years, she has been ill and her health has been deteriorating. Therefore, she has resigned from the court, hoping to die and be buried in her hometown.In the beginning, Zhu Di left her in the capital, originally it was a strategy to restrain her. In the past few years, Mrs. Qiu has become famous in the capital, and she has taught a few proud disciples. The court has verified that her situation is true, and she has not continued. If necessary, he allowed his resignation and returned to his hometown...

In this day and age, traveling far is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult for old and weak women without a man to accompany them. It happened that Xia Xun was going north, so he went with him.

Xia Xun did not disclose his specific itinerary, so when he set off on the road, he was quiet and no one saw him off.

Sending off, whether it is for the sender or the sender, is a troublesome thing, especially now that the King of Han has fallen, and the position of the crown prince is more stable. Excessive extravagance has no opponents to show off, but it will have a bad influence on the emperor's heart, so Xia Xun walked very low-key.

Ji Gang is usually very high-profile, very high-profile and arrogant, but his popularity is too low. On this occasion, even if he wants to be high-profile, he can't be high-profile, so the only ones who sent him were the Eight Great King Kongs of Jinyiwei.

While Xia Xun was busy arranging the family, Ji Gang was also busy, busy adjusting all his cronies and confidantes, and placing them in all the key positions. Going to Beijing now is like exile. The emperor is blasting the enemies together away from the center.Ji Gang's little action is actually of little use. As long as Sai Hazhi wants to move, he can manipulate the personnel he adjusted at any time. However, since he has made an arrangement, it is expected that Sai Hazhi will not make a drastic rearrangement. none.

Ji Gang brought a few of his confidantes, as well as the pair of sisters who were intercepted when they were drafted girls, and the pair of prostitute sisters to wait on them. All the Eight King Kongs stayed in Jinling. This is his fundamental place. Willing to give in to Sai Hazhi.

Outside Jinling City, beside the long pavilion, Xia Xun turned around and said to the family who was seeing him off: "Everyone stay behind, there is no need to see each other off."

Xia Xun held Ming'er's hand and said, "Ming'er, marrying me has really caused you a lot of hardship. Now I go to Beijing, and I don't know how long it will take. I still have to leave the house to you."

Ming'er smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, a man's ambition is in the world, and it's good to leave the house to my concubine. Don't worry, Mr. Xiang!"

Xia Xun nodded, and thanked her again: "Zi Qi is pregnant, you are the smartest at home, please help your wife more!"

Thank you for nodding, and the circles of my eyes are red.

Xia Xun looked at Zi Qi and Rang Na again, and said with a smile: "You are about to give birth, no matter whether you have a boy or a girl, they are all my own flesh and blood. I love and love you the same. Don't think too much. When the child is born, give it to me as soon as possible." Send a letter!"

Xia Xun told the wives and concubines one by one, and finally walked to Su Ying, gently held her hand, and said in a low voice: "There are always conflicts between Shuangyu and the guards of eastern Zhejiang. Yes, I'm afraid it will be indispensable in the future. There is no way to avoid it. You can see how the imperial court has always treated the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes attached to the outside of the customs. How did the former Liaodong local government treat them? Always treat them like slaves, Shuangyu Weiben He was born as a pirate and formed his own system, so he was naturally difficult to integrate with the guards of eastern Zhejiang and was discriminated against by others.

Liaodong Jurchen and Mongolian tribes, I can use the policy of mutual benefit to make them like a family, and eventually merge, but Shuangyu Guard can't, our family's secret caravan is all there, how can it be called East Zhejiang? Zhu Wei shared the secret.And this is precisely one of the reasons. Maritime trade is profitable, and Shuangyu Wei is a natural port, which is uniquely endowed, thus controlling the benefits of East China Sea trade. The guards in eastern Zhejiang cannot share it. It's like a thorn in my side.not to mention……"

Xia Xun sighed for a long time, and said: "In the case of Shuangyu being framed in the past, although I vented my anger for them and beheaded a few officials directly related to it, it was impossible for the officials of the Eastern Zhejiang Navy to be engrossed. Even if they are completely withdrawn, the replacement generals will still be of their lineage. The relationship between the master, brothers, robes, and comrades-in-arms is intricate. How can we not be embarrassed?

After I leave, you can often go to Shuangyu and tell Xu Hu and others about these difficulties.The Zhedong naval division may embarrass them a bit, but they never dare to take too much action, especially now that the King of Han has fallen and the prince's position is stable. It's a life-and-death fight, and the relationship between each other is not good. If there is a chance to make things difficult for you, you will make things difficult for you. This kind of thing is inevitable. The officers and soldiers of Shuangyu Guards have always been rebellious. I also know this. Don't rely on my relationship. Make things trivial Big, making each other's potential equal! "

Su Ying nodded meekly, and said: "I know, I will go to Shuangyu in a few days, I will tell Brother Xu what the master means."

Xia Xun nodded, glanced at Ji Gang who was not far away to deal with Ji Gang who had just boarded the car, and said, "Okay, let's all go back, and I'm on my way too."

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

The two convoys hit the road one after the other.

Walking and walking, the bamboo curtains were rolled up high, Xia Xun was lying in the car, the little girl Xianya knelt and sat in front of him, her little white fists were beating his legs lightly, Qiaoyun was snuggling beside him, stripping her skin. Amethyst and juicy grapes were passed to his mouth.

For Qiaoyun, it is very happy to be able to travel with him. She was originally just Mrs. Ming's personal maid, and when she was in the house, there were inevitably too many monks and too little food, and there were not many opportunities to be favored by the master. This time, the master only took her along Concubine, are you afraid that there will be fewer opportunities to serve the pillow mat?Seeing that all the wives had children, she was also very envious. She wished that she could give birth to a son and a half daughter for the Duke of the country, so that she would have to rely on her for the rest of her life, so she took care of Xia Xun meticulously.

Xianya was originally the young lady of the family of a second-rank official in the imperial court. Before her father's accident, Xia Xun was only a sixth-rank official in the court. After being a loyal minister, Xia Xun took great care of her, but this is how it is in this era. It's impossible to raise her as a eldest lady, so Xia Xun has long let nature take its course in serving her.

Xian Ya glanced at the outside of the car, pouted her mouth unhappily and said: "This Ji Gang has no rules. When the road is narrow, he sometimes knows the rules and walks behind the master, and sometimes he deliberately catches up one step and grabs him. In front of the master, when the road is wide, it is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, either you keep walking behind, or you walk far ahead, what is going on?"

Xia Xun said with a smile: "You girl, what are you struggling with? Ji Gang is more troubled than you on this journey. If he walks in front of me, he is worried that he might clear the way for me; if he walks behind me, he is afraid that someone will laugh at him for doing it. My entourage; he is at the same level as me, the identity difference is too far, and the overstepping is too obvious; if he rushes first, walks too fast, and seems to be afraid of me..., you don't know, his journey , how troublesome it is to be entangled."

Qiao Yun burst out laughing with a "puchi" and said, "Master really hurts people, how can anyone in the world look for trouble like this?"

Xia Xun said leisurely: "Hey, don't you believe me! This person, once he has a demon, he will find trouble for himself."

Xia Xun sighed softly, and said: "Ji Gang back then was not like this. Although he was a little cynical at that time, he still lived a free and easy life."

He glanced out the window, seeing nothing happened on the left and right, and he felt bored, suddenly he became narrow-minded, wanted to play tricks on Ji Gang, so he smiled at Qiaoyun and Xianya: "You don't believe the master's words, Yes? If you don’t believe me, let’s see each other.”

The two girls suddenly regained their spirits: "Master, what bet?"

Xia Xun said: "Master, I invite Ji Gang to come over to play chess now. If he comes, he will feel that he is pleasing me and spending time with me. If he doesn't come, he is worried that he will be misunderstood because he is afraid of me, so he must I hesitate to agree or refuse very readily, and I have to think for a long time before I can make up my mind."

The two women clapped their hands and said happily: "Okay, okay, what if the master loses?"

Xia Xun said: "If I lose, we'll be in Qingjiangpu not far away. Let's stop hurrying and rest there for two days. Let's take a look at the nearby scenery."

Qiao Yun said happily: "Then what if they lose?"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "What else can I do? Well... just give the master a kiss on your little pout."

Xian Ya blushed immediately, and twisted and said: "I... I don't want it!"

Xia Xun was taken aback, then laughed loudly and said, "Master didn't mention you, how big the tea lid should be, how big the pot is, hehe, your little cherry mouth, the master still thinks it's too small."

Xian Ya's face is like a big red cloth, she doesn't defend, it seems that she really has a small mouth, and if she defends, it seems that she wants the master to kiss her, it's really a dilemma.Xia Xun knocked on the car window with a smile, and ordered, "Catch up with Ji Gang!"

The coachman raised his whip when he heard this, and the car drove quickly, catching up with Ji Gang's car in a short while. Xia Xun leaned out the window and smiled at the car next to him: "Master Ji, Master Ji?"

Ji Gang poked his head out of the car, clasped his fists and said, "Duke?"

Xia Xun said: "The journey is boring, are you interested in killing a game?"
