Chapter 646: Go to Gusu House
According to the development of the original plot, the hurdle of Xiao Lingyan's death from illness has passed. But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. It's never wrong to be careful.
Xiao Lingyan quickly nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and be careful. Not only do I pay attention to the imperial doctors in the palace, I also find two very powerful doctors among the people and raise them in Prince Qi's palace."
"I managed to save my life, and I am still in love with you. I am about to live a happy life with you. How could I die accidentally? So don't worry, my wife, I will be careful and careful again.
If you feel any discomfort, someone will definitely let you know. Even if it is a false alarm and makes you have to travel back and forth, I will tell you. I cherish my life very much, but I am not willing to leave you in this strange time and space."
Officials of the imperial court cannot leave the place where they serve without the emperor's order. In other words, Zhao Ruxi is not allowed to leave the capital and want to take advantage of the holiday to return to the capital for a stroll.
Once Xiao Lingyan felt unwell and wanted Zhao Ruxi to come back, she would have to sneak around in the middle of the night.
"As long as you are fine, what does it matter if you run back and forth? I am in good health." Zhao Ruxi said.
Xiao Lingyan said with longing on his face: "The most difficult part is these six months. The situation has been decided next spring. No matter what the situation is, we will get married. By then we will be together and never be separated."
Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Yes, we will never be separated."
The two cuddled together and didn't speak for a long time.
Early on the next morning, Zhao Ruxi left the capital with the old lady, the Zhu family, a group of servants, the bodyguards and secret guards given by Xiao Lingyan, and headed for Gusu City.
The escort sent by Xiao Lingyan, according to the normal procedure, must first go to Ren Yazi's place and then ask Zhou Chun to buy it back for Zhao Ruxi.
But now that time was urgent and there was no time for such roundabout ways, Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi simply and roughly forced the two men and one woman into the team.
Except for Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng, who were aware of Xiao Lingyan's existence, they all said that these three people were slaves selected from Xiaotaozhuang.
The old lady and Mrs. Zhu have always been at ease with Zhao Ruxi, wishing she would bring more people to take office. Therefore, they have no doubts about the origins of the three people. The other servants have no doubts either. Because Zhao Ruxi has selected many slaves from the village in the past two years.
People came out to do things, but at that time they were chosen from Bailuzhuang, not Xiaotaozhuang.
…
There have been no major disasters in the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years, and there are not too many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people can live and work in peace and contentment. In addition, Xiao Ge is also very strict about public security, so there are not many people who block the road and rob.
Zhao Ruxi and his party were dozens of people. At Zhao Ruxi's suggestion, the old lady and Mr. Zhu all changed out of their fancy clothes, took off their expensive jewelry, and pretended to be from a middle-class family. Gao Weiqiang, Ma Sheng and others were very guarded, so Xiao Xiaolai was not there.
Get their ideas.
Zhou Chun originally traveled to Suzhou, buying houses and properties, and later sent Zhao Yuanxun here. He was very familiar with the situation along the way. He arranged the food, clothing, housing and transportation in a proper and orderly manner.
The group walked slowly for five days. On the afternoon of the fifth day, they finally entered Gusu City.
"Mother." Zhao Yuanxun had already been waiting at the city gate. Seeing a group of people from the Suiping residence, he quickly stepped forward and called to a carriage that Liu Quan was following on horseback.
What he was most worried about was that his mother was old and pampered, so she couldn't stand the fatigue of traveling around and would fall ill on the way.
The curtain of the car window was opened, revealing the old lady's rosy face.
"Sister Xi remodeled the carriage, and it was not bumpy at all. I went to bed right after I got in the carriage. Her housekeeper Zhou Chun was really capable and arranged everything properly. I didn't suffer much at all." The old lady laughed.
road.
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Yuanxun was relieved when he saw that his mother was in good spirits and did not show any signs of fatigue.
The group of people entered the city and arrived at the Zhao Mansion. The old lady was surprised when she looked at the house. She turned to Zhao Ruxi and said, "How much did this house cost?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver." Zhao Ruxi said with a guilty conscience.
After saying that, she quickly added: "This is Gusu, and it is in such an area. The house is nice and the area is wide. In fact, at the usual price, it is impossible to get it for ten thousand taels. No, my third senior brother is in Dali Temple
Do you also know that their yamen... well, they have to deal with some houses and houses from time to time. My senior brother asked me, and I happened to have money, so I bought it. If we don't live in it, we can rent it out or change hands.
If you sell it, you can make thousands of taels."
When she said this, everyone believed her.
Dali Temple often sells the properties and fields of criminal officials. This is how Zhao Ruxi's village in Beining came to be.
Considering Wu Zong's status in Dali Temple and his relationship with Zhao Ruxi, it is not a problem to find a house for her in Gusu.
Zhao Yuanxun said: "The situation is exactly as Sister Xi said. This house is something that can be found but not sought. Now as long as the wind is released, it can be sold at any time for fifteen thousand taels of silver; if not
Be anxious and wait for the buyer slowly. If you find someone who likes this place and is not short of money, 17,000 or 8,000 will be no problem."
"Hey, our family can live a good life now, thanks to Master Kumu. If he hadn't accepted Sister Xi as his disciple, Sister Xi would not be able to reach the heights she is now, no matter how capable she is." The old lady said with emotion.
As soon as the group of people sat down in the hall, a servant came to report: "Uncle, Mr. Zhang sent someone to deliver a greeting card and said he wanted to pay his respects to the old lady."
"Mom, you're tired of traveling, why don't you push me and let him come back tomorrow?" Zhao Yuanxun said.
Hearing this, Zhao Ruxi raised her eyebrows slightly.
After being together for so long, she already knew the cheap daddy's personality very well.
Because Zhao Yuanxun was weak since childhood, his abilities and talents were not outstanding. In addition, compared to him, the eldest son, his biological father preferred his third brother who was a concubine. He intentionally or unintentionally neglected him, which developed his slightly inferior character.
.
What he shows is humility. He never wants to be strong, treats others with gentleness and courtesy, and is completely non-aggressive.
But now, he shows a tough side towards his boss.
It seems that Zhao Yuanxun has done a good job in Gusu Mansion during this period. At least his boss has allowed or flattered him. Otherwise, Zhao Yuanxun would not have been like this.
"No, no, no. I'm not tired at all. Just let him in. He comes to see me with good intentions, how can he be so negligent?" the old lady said quickly.
She couldn't let her son offend her boss because of herself.
"Mom is right. If you neglect Master Zhang, it will affect our sister Xi's reputation. If others say that our number one scholar is too high-minded and looks down on others, that would be bad," said Zhu.
