Chapter 129: First time entering the capital, the boss summoned him

Since the way from Tongzhou to Beijing was transported by canal to land, the loess mattress along the official road was extremely flat. However, grain trucks were passing through this official road for many years, and the dust was the most. At this moment, even though the weather was still stuffy, the car could only use a veil to paste it on top with a veil besides the veil. After walking for a short while, Xu Xun could clearly see that the originally snow-white veil was covered with a layer of yellow-gray color, and a large basin of ice in the carriage had already turned into water.

Wang Shikun, who got off the boat, had already recovered his usual vitality. At this moment, he fanned his fan hard and said to Xu Xun angrily: "You are like wind and rain. In this place of capital, you can't find reliable people. You just casually pulled a coolie on the boat back. You are not afraid of making people laugh!"

Seeing Xu Xun laughing, he couldn't help but fold the fan and knocked it hard on Xu Xun's knee: "I still laugh! Do you know that in this capital, the high-ranking officials and nobles have carefully chosen them even if they are servants. Even these wealthy slaves have to compete with each other. How can they train them like you in less than three to five years? If you take them out, you will be embarrassed to lose your face!"

"I said, Master Wang, have you forgotten that you gave me two servants?" Seeing that Wang Shikun was speechless, Xu Xun said slowly, "You Tao is to give full play to your talents, and Ruisheng wants to follow Eunuch Xiao; you two think you are etiquette and follow me out; my Tao Hong is willing to study and fall in love with morale, and manage the study; as for this Bao, he will definitely run errands. We are the first time we have entered the capital. Isn't it good to find a local?"

"Come on, I'm going to find a lot of locals to enter Beijing. How many times can this little guy who makes a living on the canal boat have entered Beijing? It seems that he has never even worn shoes before. How much knowledge can he have?" In fact, Wang Shikun and Xu Xun have known Tonggong for several months, but compared to his playboy friends who have been with him for many years, he followed him to Beijing. In addition to trusting, he thought he knew this friend quite well. At this time, he couldn't help but tease, "If you don't see a rabbit, don't show off your eagle. You kid will call the person to the teahouse and ask for it for a long time. You must have gained something. Just say this, right?"

The reason why he got along well with Wang Shikun, a playboy, was because Xu Xun saw his former shadow in him. When he saw the other party expose himself with a word, he smiled and nodded, then looked out the window and said, "It's right that I lack people around me, but the reason why I accepted him is that I was a little touched by watching them travel to Tianjin to Tongzhou before; secondly, because this kid is only thirteen years old and clever, I want to give him a chance on a whim; thirdly, I am very interested in something he told me before."

"This last one should be the most important one!"

Wang Shikun then opened the fan and slapped it hard, and then said lazily, "All right, I'm too lazy to dig in the bottom of the matter. Anyway, you have to use me at that time, and I will say it myself. By the way, although my brother-in-law said that before leaving, the previous generations of Duke Wei lived in the capital, and the houses there were also empty. You and your father lived there first, but I know you have money, so you give me a hundred and eighty taels of silver first. If you don't have money, I won't let you live!"

It is not easy to live in a large city in the capital. After all, staying in an inn is not good, but it is even more difficult to find a suitable house in a short period of time. Therefore, when Xu Xun heard Wang Shikun's joke, he immediately bargained with Wang Shikun. After talking and talking back and forth several times, Xu Xun suddenly changed the subject: "I don't know if the house in Wei is far from the Duke of Ding's Mansion?"

"God knows, it's my first time in Beijing. Xu Xu was born in the capital, but he hasn't been back for years. Every now and then, it's just an excuse. I'll send you a post to the Duke Dingguo Mansion tomorrow to send a post to make a date to visit. After we're done, we'll be free. This trip was originally an excuse, and my nephew and grandson were in the Imperial College in the capital. Also, do you want to go to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Personnel? Go back and wait for the place to call the manager to ask. In the capital, we are all foreigners, so be careful."

Although the journey was not fast, it was not difficult to live with Xu Xun and Wang Shikun. Then Chen Yue accompanied Xu Liang in the first car. It was logical that there was no reason for a prospective wife to accompany her a prospective father-in-law. However, Chen Yue got on the boat under the name of Xu Liang's nephew, so it was naturally the least easy to get out of it. Although the two of them had seen each other on the boat, they were still quite embarrassed to sit in such a match. At first, even the little girl who never recognized her child did not know what to say, let alone Xu Liang. Until when entering Xuanwu Gate, someone suddenly lifted the curtain outside. Seeing Chen Yue shudder, Xu Liang immediately shouted.

"rude!"

With his scolding, the guards who found that something was wrong outside immediately surrounded him. For a moment, there was a lot of noise outside. Xu Liang was afraid that Chen Yue would be scared, so he quickly asked Chen Yue to sit in, and then said, "They are all rude soldiers, maybe they can't figure out the way, don't take it seriously."

"Uncle Xu...Uncle." Chen Yue changed the name he said, and then asked in a low voice, "We are going to Beijing, really want to live in the Duke of Wei's property in the capital? Wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

"I have also told Xun'er before, but what he meant was that staying in an inn was convenient and it was not short of that amount of money. But I was afraid that others would get the news of our entry into Beijing, so I deliberately did it. Living in the Duke of Wei's Mansion can eventually save you these troubles. It's just that it's not convenient for us to live under someone else's roof. If Xun'er and I discuss it carefully, we will never let you down."

"Uncle, why bother or not?" Chen Yue's uncle finally spoke a little smoothly this time. After realizing the sound of a yelling officer outside, the carriage started smoothly. She felt relieved and a cute dimples appeared on her face with a smile, "If it weren't for you, how could I get on the boat in Gaoyou?"

Since the driver was volunteering Jin Liu, it was hard to say too much in the car, but the atmosphere was harmonious. Chen Yue served Xu Liang tea, water and snacks, and eleven good wives who were filial to his father-in-law were comforted by Xu Liang's old man. The hard work of the bumpy road was left behind. I don't know how long it took, but Jin Liu's voice finally came from outside.

"Here, we're here, Wei Gongfangyuan has arrived."

After more than a month of boat ride, and from Tongzhou to the capital, the group rushed to rush to finally arrive before the city gate was closed in the evening. Therefore, when he arrived at Gongfang Garden, Weiguo, even in the summer, it was already full of stars as soon as he got off the bus. Manager Qian, who had stayed in Fangyuan before, had already arrived at the dock to greet him, rented all the southern goods in the warehouse and stored them, and only came back with some important gifts. At this time, he was busy making arrangements again, and in a moment he arranged everyone in the yard that had been cleaned up in all places.

Perhaps it was the advance order of the Duke of Wei, Xu Qiu, that the yard assigned by Xu Xun and his son was not inferior to that arranged for the serious young master Xu Xu and his uncle Wang Shikun. There were three upper rooms and two ear rooms, two east and west rooms. There was also three downrooms outside the hall in front. The side door was closed, and it was like a unique courtyard with an east door leading directly to the alley outside, which was the most convenient. There were everything from bedding to quilts to pots and pans in the middle. As soon as everyone was settled, a chef brought food with a food box, and then several servants brought hot water.

Xu Xun, who was exhausted, tried to take the energy to see the same depressed little girl after dinner, and then spoke to Xu Liang for a few words. Then he went back to the room and fell asleep. He slept till he was dying, until he felt someone pushing him in a daze, and then he woke up suddenly. When he opened his eyes, he found that Ruisheng was anxious.

"Young Master, the eunuch Sun who sent you an order before is here!"

When he heard it was Sun Bin, Xu Xun's sleepiness that still existed immediately turned into nothing. He got up, put on his clothes as fast as possible under Ruisheng's service, then washed up randomly and hurried out. When he entered the main hall, he saw Xu Liang wearing new robes being entertained by the guests. When he saw him coming, he smiled and nodded.

"Oh, Mr. Xu has been sleeping until midnight." Sun Bin just talked to Xu Liang but was just a little bit unison. When he saw Xu Xun, his smile became much more real. After joking, he nodded and said, "No wonder, this serious injury has gone north from the canal before he has recovered. I think he is extremely sleepy. How about you, maybe you are cheering up? Eunuch Xiao took leave today to go back to his private house, and he happened to see you."

Although he didn't expect this to come so quickly, Xu Xun bowed without hesitation and said, "Of course I have time, but according to the instructions of Eunuch Sun."

"Okay, okay!" Sun Bin saw that Xu Xun was not dragging himself at all, and did not feel much cringe because he wanted to meet someone who was with the emperor day and night and held the power to criticize the emperor. He nodded with satisfaction for a moment, "Since you are just getting up, just use whatever you want to fill your hunger first, don't go to see Eunuch Xiao on hungry."

Seeing Xu Xun bowing, he hurried out of the house. Sun Bin looked at Xu Liang and asked, "You and Xu Xun were attacked in Nanjing before, please tell us again!"
