Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight people from Huzhou

"Who knew that this was a bit big," the idle man continued: "Now he has been defeated and he is really shameless to meet someone..."

The discussions of the crowd confirmed what Yang Muyun thought, Chen Rong would not show up for the time being. Xia Xue from the Central Army Governor's Office was not only targeting him, but also not happy with the entire avant-garde of the government army. After returning from a crushing defeat, most of them were waiting for the emperor to punish him. It would be strange if he could get the good face of others at this time.

Yang Muyun left Yindai Hutong and suddenly felt a little confused. He didn't know where he was going. Dian Mao? It was just a humiliation added to him by others. Do he still have to rush to gather other people's sarcasm?

Because of the princess, the emperor never summoned him again. I wonder if he would have the chance to enter the palace in the future. He once again felt like he was retreating. It was almost the end of the year, and he had nothing to do in Beijing. Why not go back to Huzhou! When he thought of returning to Huzhou, his low mood became excited again, and his steps were much faster.

Walking on the street, Yang Muyun suddenly found that there were much more people on the street than usual. Beijing officials who were away from home began to buy gifts, and while the New Year sealed the retreat, they had to take leave and return home. Due to inconvenient transportation, officials from faraway roads usually only returned home every two or three years. Farewell to the old and welcome the new, people of all classes must pay attention to filial piety and visit their parents in high school so that the elderly will not be worried about them.

All the yamen in the capital were busy taking stock of the year and summarizing the affairs of the year, which had nothing to do with him. What he could expect was what kind of edict the court would issue, but it might have to wait until the New Year. The emperor was also very busy, celebrating the New Year, worshiping ancestors, and reunion of the royal family. The vassal kings and officials from all over the country have sent people back to the court to see the emperor one after another, and some foreign envoys were summoned. The emperor and children were probably busy all the time, and they should try to put the troublesome things back.

"I don't know what's going on in Huzhou?" Yang Muyun said to himself: "I haven't seen them for more than half a year. Why not take this opportunity to leave the capital, and no one will notice me anyway." After he made up his mind, he headed towards the south of the city.

......

"Huh?" A carriage that passed by him opened the curtain, and a silly boy poked his head out and looked out.

"What's wrong?" A woman outside the car asked, patting the boy's shoulder.

"Why do I feel that the person who just passed by looks very much like his uncle?" the boy scratched his forehead and said.

"Are you dazzled?" The woman stretched out her finger on the boy's forehead and scolded: "You must know that your uncle is a rank official now. He either rides a horse or sits in a sedan chair when he goes out. How could he walk on the street like an ordinary person?"

"What Mom said," the young man said embarrassedly: "Maybe I'm really dazzled."

"You have to be smarter when you arrive in the capital," the woman squinted the young man and said, "This place is not as good as our Huzhou. The rules are very big. If you miss the etiquette, you will be embarrassed by your uncle and me if you don't."

"I know, mom," the young man was at a loss when he heard the woman preaching, and looked out again, "Mom, what would your uncle live in? Will it be more grander than the house of the Huzhou prefect?"

"That's natural," the woman said proudly: "Your uncle is now a Beijing official, so he is naturally more pompous than those local officials."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." The boy exclaimed repeatedly, and said with envy on his face: "How great would it be if I were like my uncle?"

"You?" the woman glanced at him with contempt. "You can't even memorize a three-character scripture. Writing a word is like a crawling earthworm. In terms of martial arts, your three-legged cat's skills are not much better than your father's crop style. Do you still want to be an official? In the next life!"

"Mom..." The boy blushed and said angrily: "Then why do you bring me to this capital?"

The woman sighed, glanced at him and said, "I am the only brother of your uncle. He is so prosperous. You can't just see his nephew be mediocre and mediocre. You can always make some progress with him, right?"

"Mom, are you going to throw me here and not let me go back to Huzhou?" the young man asked in surprise.

"Isn't the capital good?" the woman said angrily: "What are you doing when you go back to Huzhou? Are you a constable like your father? You will never have a day to make a comeback after being called... Mom takes you to this capital, just to ask you to be good.

See the world. After the New Year, you are sixteen years old and it’s time to talk about a wife, but now you are like this, which girl from a better family can marry you? I’ve been here with your uncle for a few years. If I can make a fortune, I’ll be able to talk to you about my relationship!”

"Mom..." The young man lowered his head in a daze.

......

The carriage gradually slowed down, and the woman looked out and saw that the carriage turned into an alley and stopped in front of a rather grand mansion.

"It's here." said the handlebar.

"Oh." The woman got off the carriage with the boy with joy. "No..." The woman narrowed her eyes and saw that the door of the mansion was wide open in front of her, and countless people were moving in and out.

"What's going on?" The woman's heart tightened and walked forward to an old man who was directing the moving things and asked, "Master, is this Yang Muyun's mansion?"

“That’s right.”

"Is it necessary to move here so busy?" the woman asked again.

"Yeah..." The old man turned his head and looked at her, and said strangely: "What are you asking for this?"

Before the woman could answer, she saw a very pretty girl floating out of the mansion and said to everyone: "You are gentle with your hands and feet. The things inside are precious. If one or two pieces are broken, can you afford to accompany you?"

"Miss Ning Xin..." The old man smiled and was about to report the handling situation when he saw the girl's bright eyes staring straight at the woman who was chatting with him.

"Auntie, why are you here?" The girl walked over and blessed the woman, and said sweetly to the boy beside her, "Hello Mr. Hu!"

The boy immediately blushed and replied at a loss: "Hello Miss Ning Xin!"

This woman is Yang Muyun's sister Yang Lan, and the young man is Yang Lan's son Hu Wenguang.

"Miss Ning Xin," Yang Lan said with a worried face: "Is this going to move? But what happened?"

"No, aunt," Ning Xin explained with a smile: "Master, he is not used to living here and wants to move to another place, so the lady asked the maid to pack up the things in the mansion and move there."

"Oh, that's it," Yang Lan breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Where is that place? Is it far from here? Is it bigger than this house?"

"Will you know if my aunt goes with me?" Ning Xin smiled.

"The vanguard of the government army?" The goalkeeper in front of Xuanwu Gate looked at the waist sign in his hand and smiled coldly, threw it back to the hands of the two soldiers riding on horseback, and said loudly: "There is an order above that no one in the vanguard of the government army is allowed to leave the capital. Please go back, two!"

"We have been ordered to go out for a job," one of the soldiers bowed their hands and saluted, "Please give me some convenience."

"I am guarding the Xuanwu Gate for the court," the goalkeeper stared at them with a cold face, "I don't understand the two words "convenient."

"If you miss a big deal, will you be punished?" Another soldier couldn't help but scold him.

"If you are asked to go out, that is a big deal that I cannot afford to be guilty of," the goalkeeper's attitude became colder, and he pressed the handle of the knife in his hand and said in a deep voice: "If you don't leave again, I will let you take you down and send you to the Governor's Office of the Five Army." As soon as he finished speaking, with a "sigh" sound, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate surrounded him, holding swords and spears in his hands, pointing at the two soldiers.

"Let's go!" The two soldiers turned their horses with dark faces and returned to the future, which caused a lot of discussion among the people gathered at the city gate.

All this was seen by Yang Muyun, and his heart was "splied". It seemed that all the vanguards of the prefecture army were left in the capital and were not allowed to go out.

"What is the court doing?" Yang Muyun was puzzled, "Are you going to severely punish the officers and soldiers who came back from the vanguard of the government army? But there was no punishment from the superiors..." He reached out and pinched the waist sign in his pocket. One was a fifth-ranked sword officer in the imperial guards, and the other was a thousand households of the Jinyiwei. If it was taken out, would it be pushed back? He was unsure. He was one of the 100 general flag officers in the vanguard of the government army that went on the expedition this time. He showed this identity when he entered the city in the morning. He remembered that the generals guarding the city of Deshengmen were extremely complicated when they saw him, so he asked the people around him to record himself. Of course, there was also

Chen Chengfeng. He secretly left the city last night, and no one knew about it.

"I don't know what the imperial court did this for?" Yang Muyun thought to himself, "It seems that it is not convenient for me to leave the capital before the emperor has come down." He thought in his heart that he would stay in the capital without any specific orders, so he couldn't help feeling a little sad. Alas, this is the first time he has been preparing for the New Year outside his hometown. It seems that this year is destined to be spent in a state of depression.

"Ba" Someone slapped his shoulder and turned around suddenly. A round and fat face with his facial features squeezed together.

"It's really you!" The round and fat face said happily: "I'm still afraid of admitting the wrong person! I don't expect it's you, Lord Yang."

"It's you!" Yang Muyun frowned, and the fat young man who patted his shoulder was no one else, but Lei Lei, the famous young leader of the Honglian Gang in the capital.

"You have something to ask me?" Yang Muyun asked.

"No, no, it was a chance encounter," Lei Lei smiled and bowed to him, "You are really destined to be with Lord Yang! Why don't we find a place to sit and have a few drinks of him!"

"Let's go another day..." Yang Muyun said absent-mindedly.

"Don't interfere," Lei Leibuyi said: "Sir, you helped us knock down the Qinglong Club. Our Honglian Gang hasn't thank you yet! Please ask me what you said today."

Seeing that he was full of enthusiasm, Yang Muyun couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Lei Lei was so excited that he pulled him up and left.

"The flower wine I had in Chunxiang Pavilion that day was not finished," Lei Lei said: "This time the villain will make up for you."

"Hey—" Yang Muyun shook off his hand that was pulling his sleeves and said with a stern face: "I'll tell you first, I will never go to such a place that is not bad."

"Don't worry, Lord Yang," Lei Lei said, slapped his thick chest, "The villain knows that you are a decent person. This wine has nothing to do with the moon, so don't worry."

......

Lei Lei seemed to have been prepared and led Yang Muyun to Jiayun Building, one of the most famous restaurants in the capital. The scale and style of this restaurant are comparable to that of Feihongju Restaurant. Lei Lei led him into a private room on the third floor of the restaurant and urged the restaurant's shop to serve.

"Mr. Yang," Lei Lei poured a glass of wine and handed it over respectfully, "If it weren't for you, our Honglian Gang... No, no, we will not be called the Honglian Gang now, but the Honglian Chamber of Commerce." He continued with a smile: "Without your help, our Honglian Chamber of Commerce will be pressed on the head by the Qinglong Church... We don't know what to do with this kind of love."

"The Qinglong Society colluded with the Tartars and helped the Tartars smuggle gunpowder and weapons. This is their own fault. I must have helped you deliberately," Yang Muyun said lightly: "You have taken over the territory of the Qinglong Society. This transaction is much more important than before, right?"

"That's right," Lei Lei said, "My father also said he would like to thank the adults! But he was not in the capital for any reason, otherwise he would have to accompany him and have a good drink with you."

"It's rare that you still miss me," Yang Muyun smiled indifferently. "If you have the chance, you will naturally be together."

"Yes, yes," Lei Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, no matter what you said, you are right. The villain has been lucky since you met you, and I will gather with you more."

After drinking a few cups, Lei Lei thought the food was served slowly, so he complained to Yang Muyun and left the private room to urge the food.

Yang Muyun drank a few glasses of wine alone, and only heard a jingle of rings. The door panel sounded, and a beautiful woman blew in.

"Miss, have you entered the wrong place?" Yang Muyun frowned slightly and did not look up at her.

"If you don't even look at it, how can you know I'm in the wrong place?" said a delicate and magnetic voice.

The voice was so familiar. Yang Muyun quickly raised his head and looked at it, "You..." and stood up in shock.

"Why, there are not many days, can't you recognize me?" The beauty smiled and she was full of charm. Her gorgeous appearance was nothing but someone else, but Zi Su.

"Madam, how did you... come here?" Yang Muyun felt that his tongue was a little unscrupulous.

Zi Su did not answer him directly, and said with a slight silence: "You still remember that I am your wife."
