Red makeup against the world

Chapter 916 Courage
Behind the jade chariot are ministers and guards with sabers and guns.Wu Sheng took the lead, and the guards behind were divided into four rows, with no less than 200 people in a rough sweep.

Walking on both sides of the jade chariot are maids and servants who are obsessed with various magic weapons.Their expressions were respectful, and their colorful clothes fluttered, giving the solemn guard of honor a festive and lively atmosphere.

Civil and military officials, who are above the fourth rank, are arranged in order from high to low according to the instructions of the Ministry of Rites, walking behind the emperor's guard of honor.

The whole scene winds for several miles, and the front and back cannot see each other, which can be described as mighty.

Since Emperor Qinglong came to the throne, there has never been such a grand occasion.He is diligent in government and loves the people, and has always disliked these vain gifts.Don't think that the emperor travels for such a short distance, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

This time, firstly, it was to stabilize the hearts of the people, and secondly, Emperor Qinglong also wanted to see the people under his rule.He doesn't have much time left, and after this time, even if he wants to go out of the city, he may not have the energy to do so.

At this time, the people all over the city were jubilant, and the emperor passed the guard of honor, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, shouting long live.

They are grateful in their hearts, grateful to this good emperor who loves his people and allows them to recuperate.The voice at this time, like a wave, swept over the capital.

The spectators in the restaurants on both sides also knelt down to salute.

Among them, two people looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Emperor Qinglong was so popular, and his guard of honor was so comprehensive.Not to mention assassination, even if there is a slight change, I am afraid that if he is not killed by the guards, he will be drowned by the angry spittle of these people.

They were alone and alone, even if they risked their lives, they would not be able to hurt Emperor Qinglong at all, on the contrary they would expose themselves.

At the moment, both of them stopped this thought and became a member of ordinary people again.

……

Qingluo listened to the sound of Shan Huan live outside, and stepped into the backyard of Ning Mansion.

Her face was full of excitement, and she said excitedly: "Young Madam, did you hear that? It's very lively outside! The emperor is going out from the Dingding Gate to welcome the triumphant crown prince."

"Ah, maidservant really wants to see it." Qing Luo's eyes turned into star eyes, her face full of longing and longing.

Both Xu Wanzhen and Tu Manfen were amused by her, and Xu Wanzhen said: "If you want to see it, you should go to get a seat this morning. Go at this time, not to mention that you can't squeeze in, even if you squeeze in, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in." locked up."

Although she didn't ask about Wu Zhengxiang's errands outside, but from his few words, she knew that many people had been arrested in the past few days.

This is not a modern society ruled by law.

The emperor is the supreme being.

It doesn't matter who you are, whether you are guilty or not, as long as there is a possibility of hindering the emperor's safety, you will be arrested first.It's best to be fine, and if something happens, you will be sentenced and convicted.

In this sweep, many local ruffians in the capital were caught, and two Jiangyang robbers who had lived in seclusion for many years were also caught.These, Wu Zhengxiang told Xu Wanzhen as interesting things.

However, most of those arrested were innocent civilians.

Xu Wanzhen curled her lips in her heart, expressing her dissatisfaction with the centralized rule of this feudal dynasty.Of course, after living here for several years, she would not be so stupid to express this dissatisfaction.

Before she came to Xu's house, Qing Luo was an official servant, it's not that she didn't know this.She giggled and said: "The servant girl is just joking. It is rare for the emperor to come out of the palace. Which commoner would not yearn for it?"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Xu Wanzhen smiled.

Speaking of this, Qingluo became more and more excited.She said with a smile: "Master Wang's dowry ceremony has made the guards keep talking about it."

The biggest scene today is the bustle of the Dingding Gate.But for the soldiers guarding the other gates of the capital, it is really itchy to hear about this grand ceremony but not to see it in person.

And Wang Leyu had been waiting for Anximen to open early in the morning, and the bride price behind him was fully prepared.In particular, a pair of wild geese with tied wings, which are still full of energy, are eye-catching.

The soldiers had all heard about this Lord Wang, and knew that he acted decisively and fiercely, but they had never seen him so approachable.

First, I tried to chat with him and asked him. Wang Leyu was in a good mood, so he took the trouble to answer everyone's questions.The core of their discussion was naturally that so many well-prepared gifts were sent to the He family.

When they knew that they were going to Tu's house to ask for money from the harmonious lady Tu, everyone was a little embarrassed, and they were afraid that asking too many questions would make him think too much.

Unexpectedly, Wang Leyu didn't shy away from it, but started talking freely.

Qingluo was articulate, and told the passage in a crisp voice, as if she had seen it herself.Hearing this, Tu Manfen's eyes brightened, and Xia's cheeks grew brighter.

After Qing Luo retreated, Tu Manfen said a little embarrassedly: "It turns out that I misunderstood him."

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "Master Wang's bride price may have been prepared early in the morning. He just waited for you to nod, and he immediately took it out. Now, you should rest assured!"

Tu Manfen waited to say more, Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "If you don't know your own heart, you might as well try to trust him."

"believe him?"

"Even if it's wrong, will it be worse than now?" Xu Wanzhen asked, staring into her eyes.

Tu Manfen thought about it carefully, and said, "No, but I'm afraid of being hurt again, and I won't be able to summon up the courage to live again."

Xu Wanzhen shook her head slowly and said, "No, you won't."

"The current Tu Manfen is no longer what it used to be. It is not only your husband who occupies your life, but also the cotton workshop that you put your heart and soul into, and your parents and family standing behind you."

She held Tu Manfen's hand and said firmly: "There is also Mr. Ning, and I. No matter what happens to you, you have to believe that we will support you unconditionally."

"Wanzhen." After hearing her words, Tu Manfen was deeply moved.

If someone else said it, I'm afraid it would not be as loud as Xu Wanzhen's.

You know, at her most difficult time, it was Xu Wanzhen who extended a helping hand regardless of past suspicions.It was her who left her in Duke Zhong's mansion without any shyness.At that time, Chen Shi was always full of hostility towards Xu Wanzhen.

It was she who came up with the way out to stay by Mr. Ning's side.Only then did she find a new life, a new pursuit and love.

It was she who came to seek justice for her when the Marquis of Anping wanted to procrastinate the matter of Heli and Li, and arranged for Cheng Jinghao to sign the Heli document.

Otherwise, how could she live such a happy life now?The Cheng family was convicted, the man was exiled to Yazhou, and the woman was charged as Jiaofang Secretary.

Mrs. Cheng, who had been courted by everyone in the Hou's mansion, died in such a miserable way in the Jiaofang Division.It is said that because there was no money to manage it, it was just rolled up with a bamboo mat and thrown into a random grave.

In the dead of night, Tu Manfen often felt scared.If she was still in the Cheng family, what would happen now?
At this time, Xu Wanzhen was by her side again encouraging her and giving her courage.
