Of course, even if he is not busy, he cannot do anything condescendingly to the arrival of a small household, not even ordering people to greet him. There has been no such precedent since the beginning of the dynasty. And the people below do not
Maybe you are bothering the Emperor for such a trivial matter. Your Majesty has worked harder than anyone else during the Chinese New Year, so you can finally relax and have some fun. Please stop doing these things that make His Majesty unhappy.
Mou Bin, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was also very busy. Although the order came from him, he was not concerned about when this small family would leave or arrive in the capital, and it was impossible for Qian Wubing not to arrive yet.
In Beijing, I sent a letter dryly, saying, "Qian Xian, who is newly settled in Qianhu, is going to arrive in Beijing on a certain day of a certain month. Can you please tell me whether we will send a few people from our Yamen to greet him?"
He is not so arrogant yet.
Therefore, when Qian Wubing and his entourage arrived in the capital, it was almost silent and no one knew about it.
The city of Beijing is still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. It is a bit colder, but everyone's face seems to be filled with happy and contented smiles. Children are playing on the street, pedestrians are walking on the street, and they meet acquaintances.
They greeted each other cheerfully, and from time to time some tightly covered carriages or sedans passed by on the street. They were the women's families of wealthy businessmen and officials taking advantage of this first month to visit each other to pay New Year's greetings and communicate with each other.
"Back!" Qian Wubing let out a long breath, and the breath quickly turned into a cloud of white mist in the air. Looking at the familiar city of Beijing in front of him, even though he had been away for only half a year, he felt like a wanderer returning home.
feeling.
Sun Qian was a little intolerant of the cold. She was riding on a horse, and her thick clothes wrapped her up like a lucky doll. Feeling Qian Wubing's cheerful mood, she also smiled and nodded: "Let's settle the little one from the Qi family first.
,Then, let’s go home!”
"Go home! Well, go home!" Qian Wubing nodded. At this moment, he was thinking of the dilapidated courtyard and the leaky house. Maybe, no matter how big a property he bought in the future,
This family will always have such a place in his heart!
The Qi family and the Qi family were placed in a big inn not far from Xicheng. Qian Wubing was about to go home with Sun Qian. However, Qin Ge's guards did not trust them.
I have to stay with you no matter what.
How can that be done? My place is only big enough. I can take you all with me, so where can I stay? Qian Wubing decisively rejected their request and placed them in the inn with the Qi family.
, but after settling them, Qin Ge insisted on following her no matter what, saying that this was Wang Yue's order. He must be by the lady's side at all times. Seeing that Qin Ge was the only one, Qian Wubing nodded helplessly.
.
Naturally, there was no one at home. Thinking that he was in the capital and had such a relative, Qian Wubing walked straight towards the Wu family. Of course, since it was in the first month of the year, he had to bring some gifts to the door, and Qin Singer was indispensable.
With his hands filled with some of the things Qian Wubing had bought, he completely transformed from a mighty and domineering guard to a servant.
There was no one in the Wu family, so Qian Wubing unceremoniously unlocked the door and walked in. Someone next door heard the noise and stretched out his head to take a look. Seeing that it was Qian Wubing who often came to the house, he smiled and said New Year greetings to each other and then put his head back.
Shrank back.
"The eldest brother of the Wu family has gone on duty and hasn't come back yet!"
"I know, I'm waiting for him in the house!"
Qian Wubing walked into the house cheerfully, as if he were at home, and lit the fire pot with familiarity. Sun Qian also came to help, but she was not familiar with the placement of these objects. She became more and more busy with her help. Finally, she just
Like Qin Ge, he stood aside and watched Qian Wubing busy.
"My eldest brother-in-law is from the Banner Guard. During the Chinese New Year, the Banner Guard may have more things to do. It is also possible that he will be late when he comes back. I haven't lived in my own house for so long. I guess I can take care of it. Wait.
He came back and asked some familiar neighbors to help clean up, otherwise we would have to stay in an inn tonight!"
Qian Wubing explained to Sun Qin with a smile that Qian Wubing had always given Sun Qin the impression of being stable and mature. She had never thought that Qian Wubing, who returned to Beijing, would have such a side, which was almost like excitement.
He is a young man, but it seems that this is more in line with his age, rather than the Jin Yiwei Baihu who wears official clothes all day long and has a sullen face and pretends to be majestic.
"It's okay. Brother Qin and I can also help clean up the house!" She tilted her head and said, but her thoughts were a little wandering. Yes, Qian Wubing is nineteen years old, and she will be sixteen next year, right?
, this can be regarded as an old girl, Yanran is also sixteen this year!
The room became warm because of the brazier, and because Sun Qian was afraid of the cold, Qian Wubing deliberately made the fire bright. He used the bag of good charcoal that Wu Junhou was reluctant to carry on weekdays without any pity.
While they were warming themselves by the fire and chatting, it seemed like they were back to the days last year when everyone in the Wu family gathered around the fire pot to watch the New Year's Eve. Sun Qian's face also overlapped with Wu Yanran's face. Inexplicably, Qian Wubing felt that the room was full of people.
There is an extra kind of warm atmosphere.
Time passed quickly, especially in such a warm atmosphere. The afternoon passed quickly while chatting about endless things. They came over at noon and saw that it was getting dark. Wu Jun
Hou hasn't come back yet, but at this time, everyone is feeling a little hungry.
"It seems that we have to spend the night in the inn today!" Qian Wubing stood up, "Let me tell the neighbors, and then we will go out to eat!"
Qian Wubing was also familiar with the Wu family's neighbors. Unlike the area where he lived, where almost all were the family members of the Jinyiwei family, most of the people in this alley were the family members of the Bannerwei family.
He knocked on the neighbor's door very politely: "Uncle Xu, I'm not sick. The military lord hasn't come back yet. Are you guys in the army so busy now? I can't wait any longer. When he comes back from duty, tell him,
Today I live in Fulai Inn! Tianzi Room!"
"It's time for me to call you Master Baihu!" Uncle Xu was an old man with a white beard. When he saw Qian Wubing knocking on the door, he stretched out his head and said with a smile: "You're a promising kid. In the blink of an eye, you will be Master Baihu."
Well, your father will only be a small flag in his whole life, you are much better than your father!"
Qian Wubing smiled, but did not answer. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Uncle Xu's son was also in the room. He couldn't help asking: "Dawei is a military prince and belongs to a hundred households. Why did he come back?"
Well, the Marquis hasn’t come back yet. Isn’t that guy no one watching? He went out to drink again!”
Uncle Xu's son Dawei also heard the conversation between his father and Qian Wubing, and he came out at this time: "Wu Bing, oh, Qian Baihu!"
"You're already here, just call me Wubian!" Qian Wubing smiled and patted his shoulder: "Tell me, where did that Junhou guy wander around again? I've been waiting for him all afternoon!"
Xu Dawei showed a look of envy on his face and said: "I was originally on duty with the Marquis, but when I came out of Chongwen Gate, Wu Junhou was called away by the Royal Horse Prison. It seemed that the Royal Horse Prison
The people are very polite!”
Although the Banner Guards are also twenty-four guards, they are naturally incomparable to the Royal Horse Guards in terms of power and oil and water. The two officers of the Royal Horse Guards that Xu Dawei saw politely asked Wu Junhou to leave.
It would be strange not to envy him. In his age, no officer has ever been so polite to him.
"Oh, we have business then!" Qian Wubing knew the whereabouts of his uncle, so he wasn't worried anymore, "Can you please tell him when he comes back? I'll come back tomorrow!"
After returning to the house, after saying this to Sun Qian, the two of them naturally no longer needed to wait. They extinguished the charcoal fire and took Qin Ge back to the inn.
However, he did not expect that his brother-in-law was not very comfortable at the moment. To describe him as silent as a cicada was not an exaggeration.
It was worth getting off early today. Before Wu Junhou could figure out where to spend the whole afternoon, he was called away by two people from the Royal Horse Guards, saying that someone wanted to see him. He didn't want to go, but the people who came to invite him
, are two general banners, so you can imagine the identity of the person who wants to see him. They were polite and said that an adult wanted to see him, but he didn't even have room to refuse.
However, these two people did not take him to the military camp. Instead, they took him into an inconspicuous house in Dongcheng. Then they told him to wait at the door and left him alone.
He rarely comes to Dongcheng, but he also knows that the people who live here are either rich or noble, and there are not many simple people. The other party told him to wait, so he just waited. Anyway, he is alone, so he can't
No one is waiting for him at home. Maybe some adult has taken a fancy to him and asked him to do some small and useful things. Is it because of this opportunity that his brother-in-law is living a comfortable life now?
From time to time, people passed by him, went to the house inside, and then walked out respectfully. At first, he didn't pay attention, just treating them as guests of the house. Later, several people from the Royal Horse Guard came, and then
Later, even the father-in-law from the palace came. There were people from hundreds of households in the Royal Horse Guards. However, among the father-in-law in the palace, none of them wore cyan or gray clothes. In the end, they also wore crimson.
Looking at the people passing by him, who treated him like air, his legs trembled involuntarily, and then he had an uncontrollable urge to urinate.
He wants to pee when he gets nervous.
Who lives in this house? These people who come and go are usually big people who he feels are out of reach. But when these big people come to this courtyard, their humble attitude is not much different from his. His mind
I was so groggy that I almost didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"It's your turn, Lord Wu Jun, come with me!"
Just when he felt that he was about to pee in his crotch, someone finally thought of him. He suddenly got excited, and the urge to pee all over his body suddenly turned into cold sweat, and he hurriedly peed.
Follow the person in front of you.
"My lord, could you please ask who wants to see me? I'm a stupid person. If I say the wrong thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it!"
He quietly asked the person leading the way. The person turned around and looked at him with a half-smile: "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing, there's nothing to worry about!"
