Smuggling Daming

Chapter 163 Proclamation

Neither Tang Bohu nor Zhu Zhishan expected that Zhou Zhong, the author of Journey to the West, would be the prospective son-in-law of his old friend Wang Lun, and that Zhou Zhong was valued by the emperor for some reason, so he was given a marriage by His Majesty. What an honor.

Seeing the surprised looks of the two friends, Wang Lun was also very proud. After all, to have such a good son-in-law, his daughter's life will be settled for the rest of his life.

After Wang Lun finished talking about his experience, the three of them then discussed Tang Bohu's coming to Beijing. As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Zhishan proposed that everyone finally get together, and of course they should have a few drinks. With the approval of Wang Lun and Tang Bohu, they greeted Shen Jiuniang immediately, and Wang Lun explained to the two Jinyi guards in front of the door. Finally, the three of them went to a small hotel diagonally opposite Tang Bohu's house and asked for some food. Local specialties and a jug of good wine while eating and chatting.

"Brother Wang, you have been an official in the court for many years, and you just came back from the capital, and even met His Majesty the Emperor in person, why did you call me to the capital this time? Could it be true that it was just for painting? "After drinking a few cups, Tang Bohu immediately asked impatiently. Although Ma Baihu said it seemed easy, he still had no idea.

Hearing Tang Bohu's question, Wang Lun also showed a wry smile and said, "Brother Bohu, in fact, I have been thinking about you just now, but after thinking about it, I can only come up with one explanation, that is, His Majesty has a weird temperament. There are many playful places in the leopard room that he built, probably on a whim. So he thought of something related to painting, so he ordered a few father-in-laws to ask Jin Yiwei to invite some famous painters back to the palace, and you happen to be one of them .”

I have to say that Wang Lun's guess is not far from the truth, but what he didn't know was that the order to find the painter was not sent by Zhu Houzhao, but by Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers, who entrusted Jin Yiwei. The main purpose of looking for someone is to draw Jin Ping Mei into a erotic picture, so as to please Emperor Zhengde.

"Brother Wang, that's how you say it. There shouldn't be any danger for Bohu to enter the capital this time, right?" Zhu Zhishan is most concerned about the safety of his friends. After all, the water in the capital is deep, and he may die if he encounters a small incident.

"This should not be the case. In addition, I will write a letter to Li Gong soon. When Bohu enters the capital, he will take my letter to visit Li Gong's mansion. For my sake, Li Gong must also I will take care of Bohu, and even if something happens, Li Gong will not stand by!" Wang Lun then replied.

Tang Bohu thanked Wang Lun repeatedly for his help, and then the three of them chatted about their experiences during this time.Because Wang Lun and Zhu Zhishan knew that Tang Bohu would leave tomorrow.Today, I must have something to say to my wife and daughter, so the three of them just had a few drinks.He was not drunk, and Tang Bohu also entrusted his wife and daughter to Zhu Zhishan to take care of him. After all, he didn't know when he would come back.

In the afternoon, the three of Tang Bohu finally broke up the banquet, Wang Lun went back to the inn to rest, Zhu Zhishan also went home to arrange accommodation for Shen Jiuniang and her daughter, after all Tang Bohu was not at home.It's not safe for Shen Jiuniang's mother and daughter to live outside, so they might as well live in his house.Anyway, Zhu Mansion is so big, there is no shortage of places for their mother and daughter.

When Tang Bohu returned home, he saw two Jinyi guards still standing outside the door. Although the small shop downstairs was open, there was no business there. He went into the shop and went upstairs, only to find Shen Jiuniang and her daughter The two were sitting at the table eating, and saw that she picked out the fishbone from the fish and stuffed it into Tao Sheng's small mouth, while Tao Sheng was eating rice grains all over her face, and from time to time she would show a smile to her mother. sweet smile.

"Sir, why did you leave so early? I thought you wouldn't be back at noon today?" Shen Jiuniang asked in surprise when she saw Tang Bohu who was going upstairs.

"Hehe, Brother Zhishan and Brother Wang know that I have to leave tomorrow, so let me come back to accompany you for a while." Tang Bohu said with a smile on his face, and at the same time walked over and sat next to Tao Sheng, seeing her daughter only caring about eating The fish ignored him, which made Tang Bohu couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching his daughter's little face, but this made Tao Sheng turn away in dissatisfaction, and continued to eat the fish in his bowl.

"Sanggong, do you really have to go to the capital?" At this moment, Shen Jiuniang looked at Tang Bohu in front of her, and asked with reluctance in her eyes. She was very satisfied with her current life. Her husband and daughter are together, which is already a great blessing for a woman like her who was born in the world.

Tang Bohu also knew his wife's reluctance, but he sighed and said: "This time, I have no choice but to go. Although Brother Wang has returned to his post, he can't help much. He can only write a letter and ask others to take care of him." One or two, plus the person who summoned me to Beijing this time is likely to be related to the palace, so even if I don't want to go, I'm afraid those Jin Yiwei will help me go."

Hearing her husband's words, Shen Jiuniang also fell silent. She was originally a famous prostitute in Suzhou. She had studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She could also understand it, but she sighed softly at the end, stood up immediately and said: "Sir, please stay with Taosheng for a while, and I will pack your luggage for you."

But before Shen Jiuniang left, Tang Bohu suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her wrist and said, "Jiuniang, pack your luggage at night, let's have a good meal today!"

Shen Jiuniang turned her head and saw the true feelings on her husband's face, which made her feel sweet. She sat down with a "huh" and was about to reach out to serve her husband with rice, but at this moment Tang Bohu took the bowl and filled it for Shen Jiuniang. I finally got some for myself.

Seeing her husband's thoughtful behavior, the smile on Shen Jiuniang's face became even sweeter, but she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse when she thought that Mr. Xiang went to the capital this time, which made her feel a little more worried in her sweet heart.

After lunch, Tang Bohu stayed at home with his wife and daughter all afternoon. By the next morning, Shen Jiuniang had helped Tang Bohu pack his bags. At this time, Jin Yiwei had also arranged for the vehicle to return to the capital. Ma Baihu and Wu Hundreds of households had important matters to attend to, so it was naturally impossible to go back with Tang Bohu, so they transferred a dozen people from the local Jinyi Guards to bring Tang Bohu back to Beijing, and the Jinyi Guards would naturally respond.

Wang Lun and Zhu Zhishan saw Tang Bohu off in person. Because Jin Yiwei was involved in this incident, Zhu Zhishan did not inform other friends. After sending Tang Bohu away, he brought Shen Jiuniang and Taosheng to the house, while Wang Lun was Seeing that Tang Bohu's wife and daughter had settled down, he went on the road with Ma Baihu and the others.

Suzhou was not far from Songjiang, and Ma Baihu and the others all rode horses, so they were advancing very fast. After two days of driving, Songjiang City was already in sight, and unlike other places, Wang Lun The news of returning to Songjiang was not kept secret. As early as a few days ago, Wang Lun sent someone to notify his relatives and friends in the city. As a result, not only the officials of Xu Zhifu were very excited, but even the ordinary people who saw Wang Lun off at the beginning were also very excited. He was very happy, and spontaneously came to the north gate of Songjiang City again to welcome Wang Lun's return.

It is precisely because of this that when Wang Lun and Ma Baihu rushed to Songjiang City, they saw groups of people gathered under the north gate. In addition, officials headed by Xu Zhifu were also standing in front of the city gate, laughing. Hehe looked at Wang Lun's team coming.

When Wang Lun on the carriage saw the people who came to greet him, tears welled up in his eyes. At the same time, he also remembered that when he left in the prison cart, there were also so many people seeing him off. It is unbelievable how wonderful the world is for the official to return to his original post and return to his hometown in brocade clothes.

When the carriage approached Songjiang City, Wang Lun took the initiative to get off the carriage, and then came to the front of the team, and greeted the people who came to greet him on both sides as he walked. He prepared wine to catch the wind, and Wang Lun never refused to come. He almost passed out again before reaching the city gate.

"Father~" While Wang Lun was drinking with the people who greeted him, he suddenly saw Wang Jinxuan rushing out of a large carriage beside the road, and rushed into his arms with a loud cry, and Zhou Zhong also followed up.

Zhou Zhong was the first to know about Wang Lun's return, and he has been making people pay attention to Wang Lun's whereabouts, so he knew that when the other party came back today, he and Wang Jinxuan rushed to Songjiang yesterday, stayed in Zhou Mansion for one night and then rushed to They greeted her outside the city, but just now Wang Jinxuan saw her father's excitement, so she ran off the carriage and threw herself into his father's arms and cried bitterly.

At this time, Wang Lun saw his daughter who was crying bitterly, which made him feel a little pain in his heart, but he didn't know that Wang Jinxuan was not only worried about him, but also because the matter of Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun made Wang Jinxuan very painful , when I saw my father now, I immediately vented all the grievances in my heart.

However, Wang Jinxuan did not cry for too long, because at this time, all officials including the prefect Xu also surrounded him. As the local parent officer in Songjiang and Wang Lun's close friend, prefect Xu was naturally very happy, and the officials behind him Naturally, they also stepped forward to greet Wang Lun.

Wang Jinxuan also knew it was not time to cry bitterly at this time, so she had to hold back her tears and stood aside. Zhou Zhong was also very embarrassed at this time, because he didn't know how to explain the matter between himself and Xie Lingyun to Wang Lun, let alone how to do it. He proposed to divorce, so now he can only stand with Wang Jinxuan, thinking about how to deal with the next thing.

But at this moment, Wang Lun, who was surrounded in the middle, suddenly said loudly: "Dear colleagues, this time Wang is back to bear the emperor's order, please step back and let Wang read out His Majesty's imperial edict before I can talk to you all about the old days. !"
