The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 588

Seeing that the mother's face softened, the two little ones looked at each other, exchanging a look of mutual understanding.

Lingxi, who won the first battle, showed a smug smile, and deliberately raised his eyebrows at his younger brother, showing off silently: Look, my sister is the best!
Changsheng puffed his cheeks, took a step forward, took Xiao Nan's arm, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Aye is not here, you still have us. The rumors in the market are all rumors, you don't need to take it seriously!"

Xiao Nan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, what is this all about.

She is in a bad mood because Taoyuan is gone, what's the matter with Uncle Cui?
Also, what rumors?

Xiao Nan looked at Changsheng with question marks in his eyes, not wanting Changsheng to be immersed in his own thoughts, and continued to comfort his mother, "So what if there is a war in the west? So what if the governor of Tingzhou died for his country? Aye is in Shanzhou, maybe Something will happen...so, mother, don't worry!"

As he spoke, Chang Sheng held his elder sister's hand, and the two siblings surrounded Xiao Nan together, saying together: "Aniang, don't worry, Aye will return safely!"

Xiao Nan seemed to understand that the children mistakenly thought that she was lost and sad because she was worried about Uncle Cui.

It is said that since the Helu tribe successfully plundered Tingzhou and Xizhou, the people of Western Turks seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and harassed more than a dozen state capitals in Yanbian of the Tang Dynasty from time to time, and Tingzhou and Xizhou were the hardest hit areas.

As for the rumors in the public, it was caused by the governor of Tingzhou. Half a month ago, the He Lu tribe assembled to launch a larger-scale siege on Tingzhou. The governor of Tingzhou led a full force of strong men to defend the city.

After a fierce fight, the He Lu tribe withdrew without gaining half of the advantage, but Tingzhou was not much better—more than half of the city that had just been repaired was burned down again, and the governor died of serious injuries. Most of the officials were killed or injured, and the county magistrate of Jinman County, where the state capital is located, was also killed while defending the city.

As a result, the state government office in Tingzhou almost fell apart, and a Biejia with minor injuries could only temporarily preside over the government affairs.But in the end, they were unable to do what they wanted, and the entire officialdom in Tingzhou also needed fresh blood.

Therefore, that don't care about counting the losses of the state capital, he hurriedly sent a memorial to the capital for eight hundred miles, asking the saint to send appropriate officials to fill the vacancy.

When the news came, the officials of the imperial court had their own thoughts, and even the scholars who were stranded in the capital were also talking about it.

In fact, although Tingzhou is located in a remote area, it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty after all, and the official positions to be filled this time are basically all high-ranking real vacancies.Normally, if there is such an opportunity, everyone will rush to it.

But now Tingzhou is like a powder keg, whoever has the courage to go there may become the second assassin to die for the country.

Which is more important, life or official career?

Everyone has calculations in their hearts, and when they meet and chat with friends in private, they will also talk about one or two things.

With more people talking about it, there will be various versions of gossip in the market, and rumors about the battle in Longyou are flying all over the sky.

Among them, some rumors even directly described the eighteen prefectures of Longyou as a terrible battlefield. Those governors, Bie Jia, and county magistrates who were still alive were all very dangerous. Lu's looting.

As for Cui Youbo's children's shoes, it is just in Shanzhou, where Longyou Dao's government is located. Although it is far away from Tingzhou, no one can guarantee that He Lu will not invade Shanzhou.

Because of their father, Changsheng and Lingxi pay special attention to the news of Longyou. Although they stay in the academy all day, and they can't come out until the holidays, but since the "Kite Group" and the school newspaper, The news of the students of the college is better than that of the scholars who wander in the market.

Therefore, when the two little ones heard that their mother had been dispirited and restless in recent days, they subconsciously thought of the rumors in the market.

To be honest, Changsheng and Lingxi were also afraid when they heard those rumors, but now that their mother cares more, the two children who feel that "I have grown up and become an adult" suppress the panic in my heart and try to persuade myself words to comfort my mother.

Moreover, the two found that when they kept repeating these words, their uneasy hearts were actually soothed.

He successfully comforted his mother, and his heart became much more stable. The two were very happy.

However, Xiao Nan endured the sourness and emotion in his heart, and stretched out his hand to embrace the two children in her arms. Her eyes were full of water, and she said softly: "Of course Aunt will not believe those rumors in the market, and your father will be safe too. come back."

With his back to the child, Xiao Nan quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in his heart, so what if the Taoyuan is gone?So what about fate?Compared with her previous life, she has sensible and well-behaved children, a husband who is more and more reliable, and a family with strong support, so why is she always entangled in all kinds of things in her previous life? !

She secretly swears in her heart that this is the last time the children will comfort her in turn. From now on, she will no longer think about Taoyuan or the past life. She will guard her children and spend every day of this life to the fullest.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, this time, Xiao Nan really let go, and no longer felt lost because of the disappearance of Taoyuan, but checked his children's homework energetically, looked at the two big TXs and four small ones with smiles on his eyes. Yes, in the evening, she also specially wrote to Uncle Cui, telling him everything that happened at home in the past few days, and also asked with concern how he was doing there!
Cui Youbo's situation was not very good, at least, when he first arrived in Shanzhou, his situation was really not very good.

Let's turn the time back to four months ago——

That day, Cui Youbo bid farewell to his wife and children, and led a large group of people out of the capital.

In the huge team, there are several clan brothers, staff and servants recommended by Cui's family, several students and their followers from Jiwei College carefully selected by Cui Youbo, doctors and apprentices selected by Xiao Nan, and ten more. A few servants and maidservants, and hundreds of young and strong men.

In addition to hundreds of people, Cui Youbo's queue also carried food, clothing and other supplies needed for the journey, as well as several carriages of medicinal materials.

People, horses, and carts formed a long procession, stretching for more than ten miles, which attracted the attention of passers-by on the official road for a while, and when they arrived at the post station, they were also surrounded by crowds.

Cui Youbo, his accompanying staff and students are very accustomed to this.In some people's eyes, Cui Youbo is frugal enough, but luckily he went to the post alone, if he brought his family with him, the people he brought with him now would not even be enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

Cui Youbo didn't expect that the accompanying equipment that they thought was 'very frugal' would cause them a lot of trouble.

Here's the thing -

After Cui Youbo and his party left the capital, they speeded up to Shanzhou. Firstly, there were no female relatives, old, young, sick and weak accompanying them, so there was no need to pay too much attention. The speed was very fast. He urged his servants, the materials prepared by Xiao Nan are very sufficient, basically there is no need to buy additional ones, even when someone is sick occasionally, there are accompanying doctors to see the doctor, and the medicinal materials are taken casually.

Therefore, it only took Cui Youbo more than [-] days to arrive at Huangshui County, where the state capital of Shanzhou is located.

When he arrived at the destination, Cui Youbo was not in a hurry to enter the city, but stopped at a post station more than a hundred miles away from the county seat for a rest, and by the way sent someone to the county seat to deliver a letter, so that the officials of the state capital would know that the new governor had arrived and let them do it. get ready.

The former governor had already left with his family members, but those who stayed behind were officials from Biejia Prefecture and the county magistrate.

Now that the new governor has arrived, the officials staying in the state capital should go out of the city to greet him, whether it is according to the etiquette or the convention.

But, nothing is absolute, when Uncle Cui first arrived in Shanzhou, he ran into a big or small problem—it had been a full day since the letter was sent to the state capital, but no official came to visit him.

Touching his nose, after washing, Uncle Cui, who changed into the governor's official uniform, was a little helpless. Well, since no one greets him, then he will go into the city alone.

Bearing his unhappiness, Cui Youbo and his party headed for the gate of Huangshui County.

However, Cui Youbo ran into a second hurdle. He was a dignified new governor, but was stopped by a low-level city gate official on the official road outside the city gate:
"Who is coming here? Can there be a guide? Household registration certificate?"

"Presumptuous, this is the new Inspector Cui!"

Ah, who was beside Cui Youbo, was furious. He rode forward, raised his whip, and pointed the tip of the whip at the little official, as if 'you dare to be rude, and I will beat you to death'.

The little official didn't seem to understand, and continued to repeat what he had just said: "...Lu Yin? Household registration certificate?"

Ah was in a hurry, and he was about to whip his whip.

Cui Youbo hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, knocked his feet on the stirrups, and rode over on his horse.

Well, the city gate official inspected and saw that Lu Yin was a rule, and Cui Youbo couldn't openly violate it.But, but he is still wearing an official uniform and a goldfish bag hanging from his waist, but anyone with a bit of knowledge should know his official position and rank.Even an uninformed person should be able to guess that he has a good background when he sees a large group of people behind him, so he dare not make things difficult.

In the end, the little official seemed like a stunned young man who didn't understand anything, opened his mouth and shut up to 'rules' and 'laws', which only made Cui Youbo very depressed.

Of course, Cui Youbo wouldn't get angry because of this, he calmly took out guides, seals and other items for the little official to check.

When the little official saw the appointment document from the Ministry of Officials, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, saying "offended".

Seeing this situation, Ah Da and other attendants at the side thought to themselves: Hmph, now you know you are afraid, right, who made you blind?How dare you treat Lang Jun like this? !

Before Ah Da and the others were finished, the little official got up from the ground and reached out to them for a certificate.

"Someone is Cui Jieshi's attendant, you, you~~"

Ah Da was speechless, did this person deliberately find fault?He already knew that their lord was the new governor, but he still wanted to check their credentials. This little official is either really stupid or finding fault!

The little official stuck his neck, and argued strongly: "Recently, some bandits pretended to be lovers and robbed the people, so Guo Biejia ordered to carefully check the identity of every person who enters the city. Cui Langjun is the new official who is about to take office. Inspector, even if you think about it, you don’t want bandits to sneak into the city and make trouble~”

After saying this, Cui Youbo's forehead twitched, he took a deep breath, he waved his right hand, and ordered: "Since that's the case, just wait and follow the rules!"

Ah Da could see it, how could Cui Youbo not see it?
Moreover, hearing this little official say 'Guo Biejia', Cui Youbo is sure that his current situation is definitely related to this Biejia.

It seems that his arrival seems to have hindered the interests of some people (such as Guo Biejia), or made some people very dissatisfied, so he came out like this when he arrived at the gate of the city, although it can't be called a blow , but it's disgusting.

However, Cui Youbo is no longer the impulsive young man in the past, he has been in the officialdom for several years, he is quite a city, even though he is very angry at that Guo Biejia who has ulterior motives, but his face is still calm and gentle.

With the cooperation of Cui Youbo, the little official insisted on inspecting the hundreds of people who accompanied him one by one, which took nearly an hour.

Ah Da and the other high-strength attendants almost couldn't help but want to beat him up, but Cui Youbo still stood there quietly, waiting for the rest of the people to enter the city without making a fuss or anger.

Seeing this, another older door official thought to himself: No, this new governor is not a simple person, despite his young age, the city is so deep, the situation is not good.

That's right, Cui Youbo guessed right, they did this in accordance with Bie Jia's intentions, and wanted to cause some trouble for the new governor who rushed to take up his post, so that the new governor would know that Shanzhou is not as good as the other side, and it is better to come here. 'Keep the rules'.

The reason why they listened to Biejia's second-in-command's words to embarrass the future top-in-command was simply because they felt that Guo Biejia was so powerful that several governors had been squeezed out by him, but he stayed in Shanzhou like a rock.

In addition, they also heard that the new governor was a young gentleman under thirty, and that he became the governor because of the honor of the wife of the princess, so they thought the new governor was incompetent.

One is a powerful iron fighter, and the other is a useless little white-faced governor. To put it bluntly, the vast majority of officials in the state capital know who to listen to.

But at this moment, the elderly gatekeeper didn't think much of it anymore. He had guarded the city gate for more than 30 years and was used to seeing all kinds of people.

The handsome and young new governor in front of him is definitely not an ordinary person.

Although it is not certain whether he can suppress Guo Biejia, one of the door officials knows very well that there will be no peace in the state capital in the future, and there will be a fierce contest between Guo Biejia and the new governor.

And a man with a city like the new governor must be a ruthless person. Once he offends him severely, we will wait for his revenge in the future.

Thinking of this, the elder door official hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the young official who was going to examine the hundred songs, and stopped him in a low voice: "Okay, it's getting late, it's better not to delay Cui Langjun's entry into the city." Already!"

After that, he whispered in the little official's ear again, "Don't do it too much, you really pissed off the new governor, even if he is squeezed away by the new governor again, he can't help but stop and clean up us little ones." The doorkeeper is a matter of one word!"

Hearing the words, the little official felt that it was reasonable, and waved his hand, indicating that the people behind could enter the city.

After the old official persuaded him, he ran up to Uncle Cui with a smile, nodded and bowed his head, and explained: "That kid has just been on duty, and he admits that he has offended you, so please forgive him!"

Cui Youbo took a fixed look at the old official, twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and said flatly, "There's nothing wrong with admitting death~"

After finishing speaking, Cui Youbo asked again: "Have you checked clearly? Are you sure there is no bad person mixed into a certain follower?"

As soon as the words came out, cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the little official, and he regretted endlessly: Sure enough, he did too much, alas, he wanted to flatter him, but he angered the governor... But the matter has been done, he I can't give up halfway, I just hope that for the sake of his loyalty, you can take care of him a little bit.

Kneeling down on the ground with a plop, the little official kowtowed again and again: "The little one is just following the rules, so please don't blame my lord!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed, attracting the attention of the people around him.

The old official frowned when he saw this, and he was so old that he didn't know what the little official was thinking.I couldn't help cursing in my heart: You idiot, you don't even look at yourself, even if you make things difficult for the new governor, Guo Biejia might not know who you are.

When the time comes, let's say it's the new governor, even if the attendants around him hold a grudge against you, and just twist their mouths casually, it's enough for you to drink a pot.

Seeing this, Cui Youbo frowned slightly, then relaxed again, and winked at Ambassador Ah.

A Dayi agreed, stepped forward and raised the little official, with luck in his dantian, he tried to increase his voice and said: "You are so unreasonable, you know that our lord is the new governor, but you still want to check your entourage one by one. Mr. Lang has a good temper and big heart, and he doesn't want to argue with you... We have a total of 300 people, and you have tested more than [-] people, but now you still say such things, why, look at Mr. Lang's good nature Dare to be presumptuous?!"

When the people watching around heard this, they all gasped and couldn't help stepping back.Tsk tsk, Guo Biejia's people are on the shoulders with the new governor again, it seems that Huangshui County will be "lively" again in the future.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the old official hurried up to smooth things over and stopped the young official, but he explained and apologized for him with a smile all over his face.

"Okay, let's go!"

Cui Youbo didn't want to argue with such a villain, so he pulled the rein and got on the horse.

Ah Da also hurriedly mounted the horse, kicked his legs vigorously, and hurried ahead to lead the way.

With this episode, Cui Youbo's mood became more gloomy, and his heart was secretly vigilant.And the several staff and students who followed him also looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly thinking, it seems that this trip is not going well, and they don't know what will greet them next.

Soon, the facts gave them the answer - General Tie is at the door!

A group of people rushed to the alley where the state capital was located, and walked to the gate, but found that the gate of the yamen was locked, and there was not even a gatekeeper left to guard the gate.

Cui Youbo frowned, this Guo Biejia is deceiving people too much!

He obviously sent someone to the city to deliver the letter one day in advance, and the person who delivered the letter also saw Guo Biejia. Although Guo Biejia didn't say anything at the time, but now he made such a move, it is obvious that he is extremely unwelcome. New assassin.

Looking at the closed yamen, and hearing whispers from passers-by, Cui Youbo's brows were frowned.

"Lang Jun, this dog thief bullies people too much, slave, slave, hit the door right now!"

Ah Da's fists were clenched, he bit his cheek, and said in a hateful voice with distorted facial features.

Just as he finished speaking, before Cui Youbo could react, a man dressed as a clerk in his thirties ran over from the crowd.

Panting, he ran to Uncle Cui's horse, bowed and saluted: "May I ask if this gentleman is the new Governor Cui Langjun?!"

Cui Youbo raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "This is Cui Youbo, but I don't know what happened in Shanzhou, even the gate of the government office is closed?"

Although the yamen also has time to go to the yamen, there are always guards at the gate of the yamen.

And it is indeed rare that the gate of the yamen is locked like this!

The gatekeeper didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Cui Youbo's words, he propped his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

It took a long time for a cup of tea before he said intermittently: "Okay, I want Mr. Cui Lang to know that recently there were bandits causing harm to the people. Guo Biejia was very worried, so he went to ask the soldiers of the Zhechong Mansion for help." ..."

However, the Tang Dynasty implemented the Fubing system. Fubing is not a professional soldier. They work normally in normal times, and only gather for training in winter after finishing their farm work.

Shanzhou governs the three counties, and has a Zhechong Mansion with more than [-] soldiers.Now it's autumn harvest, and the government soldiers are harvesting grain at home.

Now there are a small group of bandits (Cui Youbo later guessed that they were disguised by Turkic people) assembled to harass the people in the county, plunder the property of passers-by on the official road, and even kill people and steal their goods. The situation is very serious.

Relying solely on the servants of the government office, these bandits could not be suppressed, so Guo Biejia asked Zhechong Mansion to recruit government soldiers to suppress the bandits.

However, the newly recruited government soldiers neglected to practice, and asked some farmers who were used to doing farm work to fight against the barbaric bandits. Even if they had weapons in their hands, they were sent to death.

Therefore, before suppressing the thieves, Zhechong Mansion uniformly organized the new mansion soldiers to practice.And today is the first day of practice, in order to express his opinion, Guo Biejia led all the officials of the government office to sit in the camp of Zhechong Mansion.

"...Yesterday, Guo Biejia received a letter sent by Mr. Lang, and he was very embarrassed, but the drill has been agreed with Li Duwei of Zhechong Mansion. It is really inappropriate to change the date..."

The doorman explained in a rambling manner that his reasons sounded high-sounding, but they were actually unscrupulous.

Could it be that if Guo Biejia didn't lead all the officials to watch the ceremony, the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion wouldn't practice?
Could it be that Captain Li is so unreasonable that he refuses to postpone it for a day?

Well, taking ten thousand steps back, none of the above two points can be changed, so before Guo Biejia leaves the house, can't he leave two scribes or door officials to receive the new governor?

And Guo Biejia left Cui Youbo an empty and locked yamen, which shows his dislike and contempt for the new governor!
That's right, Cui Youbo tightly held his hands in his sleeves, and he was only guessing about other things, but he was very sure of this: Guo Biejia didn't take Cui Youbo seriously!
Taking a deep breath, Cui Youbo said: "Oh, so that's the case, but I don't know where the residence of Zhechong Mansion is? How far is it from the mansion?"

The gatekeeper's eyebrows twitched, and he secretly guessed: Huh?The new governor asked, did he want to go directly to Zhechong Mansion's camp?

PS: two in one!
