Chapter 301: It's Too Early to Be Happy
"What do you think? Does it count as apology for death?" Li Hongyuan said thoughtfully.
Jingwan snorted, it would be fine if it was an official of Shannan County. After all, he had never seen the luxury and sophistication of Prince Jin, and the officials of Kaiming Mansion were different. I had experienced that scene firsthand, and now let this honorable master wear it. To be so "shabby" is not a feeling that can't bear to look directly. It's not enough to apologize for death. The anxiety is 100%. After all, they still cherish their lives, and it is difficult to die at any time.
"Let's not talk about them, I have already ordered them to send people into the mountains to find people. According to the original plan, Gong mama and her party will come back first, and the rest will wait until they leave here and then slowly converge. When they come back, they are almost ready here. After that, when they arrive at Chongzhou Mansion, they will probably be busy for a while. Not only am I busy, but you will also be busy. I can't say, you are more busy than me. Or That sentence, someone gave it, you just collect it, keep what you like, and take it back to enrich the treasury for the emperor, I think he will be very happy." Finally, Li Hongyuan said sarcastically.
"He needs to be really happy. I'm afraid the more we give, the less happy he will be."
The more you give, the more greedy these officials are, and the more generous they use to give gifts, the more money they don't take out will definitely be more expensive.
"In this way, should we hold back more or less? If we hold too much, he is unhappy, because he is unfilial; if we hold back less, we indulge those moths and endanger the river, because of disloyalty. Is it really a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety? All right." Li Hongyuan looked rather embarrassed.
"The father is the king first and then the father. When loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, naturally he will take loyalty and give up filial piety. Besides, isn't it the best filial piety to help him stabilize the country?" Jing Wan "consoled."
"The princess's words are reasonable, so it's hard work for the princess. The princess works hard and helps her father to gather more." Li Hongyuan's face was serious.
Jing Wan couldn't help laughing. Is it really a little bad for such a "serious" person to become an emperor? However, this is also his own fault. Jiangnan's officialdom has been mixed up by many officials and his sons. In fact, he is not to blame. In the end, it is the result of ineffective supervision. How far will this cancer expand? It is impossible to say that the entire Jiangnan will be completely divided up, so that the next emperor will not only receive no tax from Jiangnan, but also spend money to fill the hole and restore normal operation. Done.
Of course, in Jingwan's view, this is simply Li Hongyuan's efforts to clear obstacles for his future.
Then, Mother Gong and the others came back.
"Your mama is very dedicated to you, I can't wait for more time." Li Hongyuan said indifferently.
"Why, A Yuan is jealous again?" Jing Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"perhaps."
Huh? This is the first time that such an uncertain statement is made.
In fact, Li Hongyuan felt a little unspeakable in his heart. How should I put it, since he was born, Gong Mama has been watching him secretly. Of course, he didn't know about it for a long time in his previous life. After returning, he was ten years old and revealed her. Existence, he has been cultivating her deliberately since then, how to say that he has been with him for a long time, but after serving Wanwan, he is completely towards Wanwan, and he is not a nose, an eye, or an eye to his various noses, okay? , This is exactly what Li Hongyuan is looking forward to, so even if there is a little vinegar, there is nothing to say.
In fact, when she was a female guardian, she had opinions about herself, just because he was the master and didn't say it. The reason was that she was still influenced by her first master, even if she was beleaguered on all sides. In the environment, she still hopes that the children of the imperial concubine can be as gentle and kind as the imperial concubine, but she also knows very well that it is impossible. In a place like the palace that eats people and does not spit bones, she wants to be good. It may be possible to live with gentleness and kindness, but I feel that it must not dominate. The imperial concubine is actually the best example. Wanwan is more in line with her heart, and there is a reason why Wanwan's temperament is somewhat similar to that of the imperial concubine in her mouth.
The existence of Mama Gong is somewhat special to him, and her tolerance is slightly higher than that of people other than Wanwan. However, Mama Gong has always been self-disciplined and respectful, never arrogant. , and she did her best to serve the master. In this way, she ignored some aspects of herself that she had opinions on.
"It's going to be a full set, I'll have a look." Jing Wan chuckled lightly.
When Jingwan saw Gong mama, she was really stunned. It was originally an arrangement, and it was just the best way to do it. As long as you avoided the officers and soldiers who might enter the mountain, there was no need to go too deep. There were less than ten people left. Shi Chen, how could he be so embarrassed, it was like a few days in the mountains, and some people were really injured.
Jing Wan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Mummy Gong, "Mammy, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, princess, you just encountered a pack of wolves."
Jingwan's heart was in her throat at once. If the guards of her husband can be trusted by him, they are not ordinary people. It seems that no one is intact. It can be seen that the number of these wolves, I'm afraid it's pretty impressive. It's just that, Mama Gong, you are a housewife, and you put it so lightly, "It's just a pack of wolves", is it really okay? Jing Wan's worries prevailed, but she didn't notice this problem. "How is Mammy, have you been hurt?"
"Don't worry, princess, it's just a bite, and the wound is not deep, so it's not in the way." Mother Gong reassured Jingwan.
On the contrary, the guards who followed Mammy Gong lowered their heads and felt a little ashamed. Although the shock in their hearts had gradually subsided at this time, the scene, I am afraid that I would never forget it for a lifetime, was close to twenty. of
A third of the wolves were killed by this unsmiling-looking mama, what an ordinary woman she looks like on weekdays, but she is so decisive when she kills her. She was extremely ruthless. At that moment, she was clearly like someone who came out of a mountain of corpses and blood. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the person in front of her was the same person. Different twins are more or less the same. pity……
There's no need for acting anymore, anyway, the officials didn't dare to approach, and couldn't hear what they said, Jingwan asked people to quickly treat their wounds.
Li Hongyuan looked at Jingwan worried and busy, with an indifferent expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.
However, when a few guards were able to deal with their injuries with the help of others, Li Hongyuan appeared, and a few of them hurriedly got up, "I have seen the master."
Li Hongyuan waved his hand casually, "What's the situation?"
"Back to the master, it should be purely an accident. After the wolves were resolved, I carefully checked the surrounding situation and there was no abnormality."
However, Li Hongyuan was not so satisfied with this answer, "An Yi, send a message to the people outside and check again." He is very clear that there are at least a group of people hidden in the dark, which has nothing to do with those real water bandits, just because The change of Patriarch Pei interrupted the other party's plan. The problem is that no trace of these people has been found so far, and there is no valuable news from the left-behind Kaiming Mansion who is staring at those officials. Therefore, we can't relax our vigilance. .
"Yes."
Looking at it now, the people who stayed by Li Hongyuan's side were either "weak" or injured, and the people who served were far from enough, so it should be considered a good opportunity for operation.
However, this matter is not in a hurry. Anyway, I got the Chongzhou Mansion to say that even if there is a decent girl in this place, she is not my own.
Everything is ready to go. Because the waterway in the middle is narrow, big boats can't get in, and only small boats can be used. Now there are too many people, so naturally they can only be divided into batches. A large number of officers and soldiers had almost left, so they carefully asked Li Hongyuan and the others to leave.
Just like Li Hongyuan saw them before, he did not embarrass them, and he left as soon as he said it. However, the officials from Kaiming Mansion were extraordinarily uneasy, because at this time, Prince Jin became more and more cold and severe, obviously holding back a bit of anger. The harder you hold back, the more severe the attack will naturally be. It is better to let it out now. You must know that the anger in Kaiming Mansion has not been vented yet. Their emotions have infected the people of Shannan County invisibly. As a result, all the officials seem to be a little shy. It's still early, the sun is far from overhead, and the beads of sweat are just one by one. drop down.
When Jingwan saw it, she felt a little bit pitiful. Is this living King of Hell so terrifying? But at this time, naturally, he couldn't dismantle his husband's stage. Even if he was wearing a commoner's clothes, he held it properly, showing an indifferent face, expressing that he was quite unhappy. His eyes swept over the former governor of Tongzhou County, and he was only downgraded by three levels. Is it too little? Taking another look at the "big winner" Governor Su, he still looked respectful and humble.
After they all boarded the boat and left one after another, the two officers and soldiers knocked on Sun Yilin's door, "Master Sun, it's time to go."
"Come in." Sun Yilin's voice was neither sad nor happy.
These two people happened to be the people who followed Sun Yilin's search. Naturally, they knew about Sun Yilin's current state. There were some gossips that couldn't be said. You hold an important position and have a promising future. There are so many good girls in the world waiting for you to choose, why do you like a married woman? Well, they don't understand this kind of thing, maybe Princess Jin is really that good.
When Jingwan boarded the official ship on the canal again not long ago, she felt a sense of trance. This experience seemed to be really special. It was because someone eliminated the dangerous elements. Otherwise, it was not so-called. special, but thrilling. Think about that scene, will you like it? I haven't experienced it, so it's really hard to say, but unless it's someone who likes excitement, otherwise, usually no one should like it.
Because the canal is still blocked, even if there are many official ships, there is no need to clear the field in advance, and the way is unobstructed.
Because it has always been a tailwind, the speed of arriving at Chongzhou is also fast. The ferry in Chongzhou Mansion is naturally inferior to Kaiming Mansion, but now is not the time to look at it.
He probably also understands Li Hongyuan's situation and everything they need is ready. Not only that, but it should be said that the women of the inner house know the inner principles better. The prepared maids are also first-class standouts. Maybe they were not prepared at first. It was useful, but seeing three or two of the maids and wives, these officials and wives looked at each other and smiled tacitly, all secretly praising their wise decision.
The Qiyuan royal family did not like to practice palaces everywhere, so the place where they stayed was the best courtyard in Chongzhou, and I don't know who it belonged to.
Li Hongyuan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. When he entered the other courtyard, he just went straight in. Although he didn't say it clearly, he always felt an aura of "enough."
All the adults naturally stayed in the front yard, but those officials and ladies entered the second door.
The nurses, who used to be everywhere, have now all turned into beautiful maids like scallions.
The trace of Prince Jin has disappeared, and it's a little regret that I didn't see his reaction.
"It's hard work for you ladies to choose so many people." Jing Wan said with a light smile, but no one could see that there was a smile in her eyes.
All the ladies felt a shudder in their hearts, the secret was bad, they patronized Prince Jin, and forgot Prince Jin's concubine, but no woman would like someone to go to her.
There are so many beauties in front of your husband, and now she puts so many beautiful women in her eyes. Although everything depends on Prince Jin, Princess Jin can't ignore it at all. This pillow wind is sometimes better than anything. All great.
One of the ladies thought quickly, "It's an honor for the courtiers and other people to serve the prince and the princess, so why bother. However, these people are selected by the courtiers and women from various families, and they are definitely not as good as the princess and the concubine. The people around you are easy to use, and when the people around the concubine arrive, these people will get in the way, whether the concubine will stay or send, it is all up to you. Now I will apologise to the lord and you for the time being."
Jing Wan nodded dispensably, tacitly acquiescing to their approach.
The ladies secretly looked at it again, what is it, let these people leave, it will take two or three days at least, who knows if there will be any changes during this period, if Prince Jin himself slept, he would still be able to rely on them. Not on the head. They are all secretly competing, and it depends on who gets the upper hand first.
"If that's the case, I won't..."
"Princess, the princess is not good," Eunuch Mu hurriedly trotted over with a pale face, "My lord, the lord, give the two maids who entered the door and waited for the bath, to..."
Getting started so soon? Which is this? The ladies looked at each other, and implied expectations.
On the other hand, Jing Wan's expression suddenly became unpleasant, "Speak clearly."
"Your Highness strangled someone..." Eunuch Mu said, shaking a little, but whether it was real or fake, only he knew.
Apparently, the ladies were too happy.
