It is about three hundred miles from the capital to Tianjin. The six hundred miles from the post station can be reached in one day by expediting. Even if it is not a stagecoach, like Wu Yanran and her entourage, they get on the carriage and are protected by a group of guards, wandering around for four or five days.
The journey has also arrived.
However, since the journey has been accelerated, the speed of riding horses and driving cars is naturally much faster. It took more than a day to leave the capital. If you work hard, you can reach Tianjin in one day.
Before arriving in Tianjin, the people sent by Wu Huchen to greet them were already waiting for them outside the city. Someone led the way, and the group headed directly towards the pier. Even the attentiveness of the hundreds of Tianjin Jinyiwei leather orders was admired.
Siniang dismissed it calmly. It wasn't that Mu Siniang was too far-sighted. In fact, at least half of the people in this team were members of the Jinyiwei Hundred Households. Pidan, a hundred households, even if they were local snakes, were really inconspicuous.
"Sister, Mu Qianhu!" Wu Huchen welcomed the two of them onto the boat.
"It's not Mu Qianhu. Soon, you will have to call me sister!" Every time she saw her brother, her brother looked the same. Wu Yanran was also filled with joy: "Siniang is now in charge of the affairs, and she is a better official than you."
It's too late, if you don't call me sister, then you have to treat me as a subordinate to see Mu Qian!"
"Ah!" Wu Huchen hesitated, and was considering whether to meet Mu Siniang as a subordinate, as Wu Yanran said, when he heard a burst of laughter from the cabin behind him: "It's Yanran who is here, where is my dear grandson?"
, I haven’t seen the little guy yet, hold him over and let me have a look!”
"Uncle!" "Eunuch!"
When the two girls saw Wang Yue coming out of the cabin, they both greeted him politely.
"You're Mu Siniang, I've heard about it!" Wang Yue smiled and nodded towards Wu Yanran. Wu Yanran waved back, signaling the nanny to come over with her son in her arms. When she turned around, she saw Wang Yue looking up and down.
Mu Siniang: "You should also call me uncle, prince, father-in-law, etc. We are all members of the same family, how can we be separated inside and outside?"
Wu Huchen looked at the side and suddenly realized that Mu Siniang was also taken into the house by his brother-in-law. No wonder his sister asked him to call him sister!
"Learn a lesson, boy!" Wang Yue patted the back of his head gently, "Just like Wu Bing, when marrying a wife, don't be afraid of too much, you must have the courage to go wherever you go. Once you have this courage,
I am also afraid that the Qian family will not have many children and grandchildren in the future and will not be prosperous or developed!"
"Uncle, don't teach bad things to children. The most important thing for a man is to be capable. Marrying too many wives doesn't mean he is capable!"
Wang Yue burst out laughing. At this time, the wet nurse came over with the child in her arms. Wu Yanran took the child and handed it to Wang Yue. Probably Wang Yue laughed very happily. As we all know, the laughter of eunuchs is a bit shrill and can be heard by people.
It was definitely not the kind of laughter that made people feel comfortable in their ears. The little guy was a little frightened by Wang Yue's laughter. When Wang Yue held the baby and moved his face to look at it, he happened to see the little guy's mouth flatten, and he suddenly said wow
burst into tears.
Wang Yue has been majestic all his life. He has experienced most things in this world, but this is the first time he hugged a child. When he saw the child crying, he suddenly panicked. He didn't know how to hold it with his hands, so he let his arms go.
The little guy in the middle is more comfortable. With this clumsy look, Wu Huchen next to him chuckled. Wang Yue has never been so helpless in front of him. This look is almost the same as when he was chased on the official road.
It's comparable to killing and hiding in the bushes.
"Why are you laughing? You can do it!" Wang Yue glared at him and shook slightly.
"I'll do it!" Wu Yanran smiled and took the child over: "This little thing has delayed my uncle's schedule. I will be his father and teach him a lesson!"
The group of people were chatting and laughing on the boat, but the servants behind them boarded the boat in an orderly manner. They almost didn't see Wang Yue and Wu Huchen giving orders. After everyone got on the boat, the boat began to move slowly.
After nightfall, Wang Yue called them all into his cabin. Wang Yue still had many questions in his mind about what happened in the capital. As for Wu Yanran and Mu Siniang, who came from the capital, there were more people than them.
Is there anyone who knows the situation who wants to inquire about the situation? Especially since these two people are not outsiders, he is not afraid of revealing his thoughts at all.
At the beginning, both Wu Yanran and Mu Siniang were a little reserved. However, after talking for a while, they seemed to feel the kindness of the other party and they relaxed a lot.
The two siblings Wu Huchen and Wu Yanran had been separated for half a year, so they naturally had a lot to say. When Wang Yue first started, he planned to ask Wu Yanran about the situation in Beijing. After Wu Yanran dragged Mu Siniang out, Wang Yue
Then I realized that this girl who looked like a dull gourd actually knew everything about matters in Beijing, even if he didn't say anything. Naturally, she took Mu Siniang aside to ask questions.
"Aren't you on duty in Nanjing? You sent your uncle to your brother-in-law's place. How soon will you be back?"
"I'm not coming back. I've been transferred to the Overseas Pressure Department!" Wu Huchen looked at Wu Yanran with wide eyes, "Didn't Mu Siniang tell you about this?"
"If you don't want to call him Mr. Mu, then you have to call him sister!" Wu Yanran gave Wu Huchen a slap in the face first, and then said seriously: "Why don't I ask about your Jinyiwei Yamen affairs?
I know, this time, it was your brother-in-law who sent Si Niang back again, and many of the things must be considered confidential. I am a womanly person, and I am asking around. Isn’t this breaking the rules? "
"I have been transferred to my brother-in-law's side. The Overseas Pressure Department is naturally led by my brother-in-law. I think he knows about it too!" Wu Huchen said with a smile: "I have long been looking forward to leaving. Staying alone in Nanjing is boring.
It’s clear, I heard from my brother-in-law that today I’m going to fight Xiyi and tomorrow I’m going to fight pirates, I’m feeling itchy!”
"What about my uncle? Do you really want to stop being a guard eunuch?" Wu Yanran seemed a little worried, but she knew how important the position of guard eunuch in Nanjing was to her family.
"Well, at the beginning of the month, the Chief Eunuch came with the news. After half a month of work, my uncle finally relaxed. Sister, don't worry. No matter who becomes the guard eunuch, our fleet and trading company will not be affected.
It won’t have much influence, after all, this can be regarded as His Majesty’s business!”
"Why do I feel that His Majesty is planning to drive Wu Bing out of the Ming Dynasty completely? Not only Wu Bing himself, but also the people related to Wu Bing!" Wu Yanran said thoughtfully:
"Wu Wei was granted the title of earl, and then my uncle resigned, and you were also transferred to the Overseas Control Department. Could it be that His Majesty had some ideas?"
"How do I know this? You have to ask my uncle. He is very cunning... Oh, he is so scheming. He sees these things much better than we do!" Wu Huchen looked at Wang Yue who was chatting happily with Mu Siniang and said with a smile.
