Blessed

Chapter 125 Sending you back, there will be a farewell

Shen Xian returned to the Yihua Courtyard to clean his hands first, after the maids set up dinner, Yuzhu just came out of the clean room, her skin was delicate, even if his hands were not strong last night, he still left a lot of bruises on her body She felt distressed when licorice scrubbed her body, and even found a special ointment made in the palace to wipe her body. She knew that his wife's skin was delicate and easy to get hurt, and my uncle didn't do it on purpose. No matter what happened, the next day my wife would have some bruises on her body.

Yuzhu had just washed and washed, and she was wearing a crescent-colored skirt with twigs and flowers, a pair of skirts, a half-dry blue silk tied with a heel belt, and her skin was like snow.She glanced at Shen Xian, pursed her lips, looking a little unhappy, Shen Xian also looked out, waved the maids to leave, helped Yuzhu add a small bowl of shrimp wonton and handed it to her, "I heard the maid said you slept It's been an afternoon, I'm afraid I'm hungry, let's eat quickly."

Yuzhu saw his outstretched hand, with well-defined joints and slender fingers. On the thumb was a ring finger made of gold silk and purple jadeite. This finger ring was made of the same piece of jade as the purple jadeite bracelet on her wrist. It was he who gave it to her back then, and she remembered how the two of them got along when they were young, and her heart softened a bit, she took the bowl and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a wonton and tasted it.

When she reached out to take the bowl, she revealed a white and slender wrist with a faint purple mark on it. It was left by him grabbing her wrist when he wanted her last night. His strength was already very light, but it still hurt her.

Yuzhu ate the wontons in a muffled voice, and now she couldn't speak.After dinner, she told Shen Xian and leaned on the pillow to read.It was rare for Shen Xian not to go to the study, so he changed into clean and comfortable clothes and went to accompany her on the couch. He squeezed her hand, held it carefully, and took out the book in her hand, "Jiaojiao, you don't want to be alone." Happy?"

How can this kind of thing be happy? The bedtime love between husband and wife is an intimate combination of two people who are happy with each other, rather than his excessive demands. Also, she feels that this kind of thing is really uncomfortable.Hesitant, between husband and wife, if you have something to say, you should speak it out, and you can't hold it in your heart, or you will get into big trouble sooner or later, so she just said, "You treated me like that last night, I don't feel well, and I still feel uncomfortable now." Come on, Big Brother Shen, I don't like you like that."

He was indeed a little angry last night. He didn't like her calling other men's names out of her mouth, and he didn't like Yuzhu calling that man Xie Big Brother, not to mention that man almost married Jiao Jiao, and even she married him in the end because of helping him. The Jiang family dealt with the matters of the Mu family and Jiang Xun. This was what he cared about the most. Every time Xie Che was mentioned, he would always think of the reason why Jiaojiao married him.

Shen Xian's eyes sank, and he said, "That's fine, I will pay attention to it in the future, but..." He looked at Yu Zhu with heavy eyes, "Jiao Jiao, you and I are married, and I will give you time to adapt, we are Husband and wife, it is inappropriate for you to call me Big Brother Shen again, and you should change your words."

Yuzhu thought for a while, and felt that his words were very reasonable, and Weng lowered his lips, and then softly called out "Husband".It seemed that she didn't feel very uncomfortable for shouting like this, so she smiled and called "husband" to him again.

So, Shen Xian stared at her even more deeply, and lowered his head to kiss her lips, which were soft and sweet.

Yuzhu groaned, stretched out her hand to push him, her hard chest couldn't move no matter what, she wanted to cry, didn't she promise her just now.Still Shen Xian only kissed for a moment, got up and went to clean the room, Yuzhu stared blankly at the back of him leaving, probably realized something, her cheeks were flushed.

For the next few days, Shen Xian didn't torment her at night, and hugged her to sleep. On the day when he was going to help Xie Che warm the house, he hugged her and kissed her for a long time, and finally his body softened, and a feeling that was different from usual came out. She was at a loss and blushed.

This time he was very restrained and only wanted her once.

The next day, Shen Xian got up to wash and dress up, and Shen Xian didn't need to go to the government office. He dressed straight up, had breakfast, and took a carriage to Xie Che's new home.

It is a three-entry house, which has been rebuilt and repaired. There are not many servants in it, a few maids and old women who sweep and wash the kitchen, and a few servants and old slaves.Going to the main hall to meet Xie Che, Yuzhu found that he was much thinner. She was worried, so she went over and asked, "Brother Xie, why are you so thin?"

Xie Che said with a smile, "Jiao Jiao doesn't have to worry about me, she was busy a few days ago, so she lost weight."

Yuzhu said, "Brother Xie, you have to pay attention to your body."

Xie Che looked at her with a gentle expression, "Okay, I will listen to Jiaojiao's words."

Lin and Tao sighed, "We are still brothers and sisters after all, even if the surnames are different, it will not affect the relationship between the children. In the future, Ah Che will not live in the house, so remember to keep in touch with your brothers and sisters."

Xie Che smiled and said, "Auntie Auntie Auntie Auntie and Auntie Two said it, Ah Che will keep it in mind." After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over Shen Xian unconsciously, his expression much colder.

The picture of the warming room is full of lively people, using the yang energy of people to drive away the dark and dirty air in the new house, so as to make the new house more popular.

The people who came were all from the Jiang family, there were no outsiders, and they had lunch at the Xie Mansion at noon.After lunch, they all went back home.On the way back, Shen Xian held Yuzhu in his arms and was silent all the way, not knowing what he was thinking, his lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was solemn.

Nearly another month passed, and at the beginning of April, the matter of Wu Yong, the governor of Youzhou, had been thoroughly investigated, and all his homes were confiscated and executed.This time, more than 100 mansions in Youzhou were thoroughly investigated, more than 300 houses in three or four, 36 pawnshops, 22 silver shops, 8000 hectares of land, all kinds of red gold, pure gold, gold and silver. , pearls and gemstones, all kinds of rare things, large coral trees, gold bowls and chopsticks, copperware, tinware, porcelain, silk and satin, beds made of pure gold, thick and thin fur, and a total value of more than [-] million taels of silver .

Da Ruiguo's annual treasury revenue is only about 6000 to [-] million taels, and the amount Wu Yong has corrupted in Youzhou in the past few years is really astonishing.On the day when the house was raided, items were searched out of his mansion, and boxes of gold and silver were brought out, enough to shock everyone.

This case is far more than corruption and bribery. Wu Yong has killed many people for his own interests in the past few years, and these things have also been involved.In this relatively sensational case, Emperor Ruiwu acted very quickly. After reviewing and confiscating his home, he executed Wu Yongman's family.It was originally intended to punish the Jiu Clan, but Emperor Ruiwu also had a heart of compassion, and many officials pleaded for mercy, saying that it was too much to punish the Jiu Clan.In addition, some wives who were involved in the crime were also beheaded or distributed.

All these copied things went to the national treasury. In addition, Emperor Ruiwu also reduced Youzhou's tax for one year, which was considered very satisfying and won the hearts of the people.

This case that shocked everyone ended like this, but the position of governor of Youzhou was also vacant, and several important officials in the court recommended candidates.Emperor Ruiwu specially sent Shen Xian to the palace and told him about the matter, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and several others recommended Xie Che for this position. I have considered it. Xie Aiqing is very talented. The servant has been around for a few years. Before, I thought that he would slowly work through his qualifications, and he would be promoted when the Minister of the Ministry of Officials became an official. Now that this incident happened in Youzhou, I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. After thinking about it, I think he can Competent, but I feel that he is too young." The 24-year-old governor is really too young, but it is not unheard of in history. Shen Xian's best friend was only about the same age when he sat in Lizhou. Assassin's.

Even though Emperor Ruiwu already knew that Xie Che was Fu Ronghuo's eldest son, he still planned to reuse him. Emperor Ruiwu looked down on Fu Ronghuo, but Xie Che grew up in Jiang's family. Xie Che can take on this great responsibility.

Both Shen Xian and Xie Che are important officials of the imperial court. They meet each other every morning. He knows that Xie Che has been very close to several important officials in the court since he returned from Shao'an City. An article he wrote a few days ago It is also quite liked by several officials and Emperor Ruiwu. In addition, Xie Che also gave some opinions on some political reforms of Emperor Ruiwu. Emperor Ruiwu deeply loves it. No wonder the emperor wants to let him sit in the secluded The location of the governor of the state.

Shen Xian knew that Xie Che's people didn't value fame and fortune before, and after returning from Shao'an City, there was something abnormal. What happened to him during this long trip?

Right now, the emperor is asking for his opinion, but Emperor Ruiwu himself preferred Xie Che, and Shen Xian would not object, "Mr. Xie is a man of great talent, and he has also begun to emerge. Judging from the current situation, he is indeed the most talented person." The right person."

Emperor Ruiwu knocked on the book case, actually already had an idea in his mind.

The next day, at the morning court, Emperor Ruiwu announced in front of all civil and military officials that Xie Che was appointed governor of Youzhou, and he would take office immediately.

After the imperial court, Emperor Ruiwu went back to his bedroom, and all civil and military officials left Wende Hall and walked up the steps to the palace road. After leaving the palace, they had to go back to their respective government offices to work.They all walk together in twos and threes. Today is a bit different. Many officials came to congratulate Xie Che. Xie Che nodded and said gently, "Thank you, everyone. It is thanks to the attention of the adults that Xie is here today. Tomorrow, Xie will go Youzhou, I don’t know how long it will take to get back from this trip, so I’m going to prepare a simple banquet in the humble house, and I also invite all the adults to have a drink and have a small gathering.”

"Naturally, naturally, since I thank you for inviting me, I will definitely go there tonight."

After inviting the acquainted officials, they all dispersed. Shen Xian walked past Xie Che, paused for a while, and said with his head sideways, "Today I still want to congratulate Mr. Xie."

Xie Che had a normal expression, with a humble and polite look, "Thank you Master Shen, we are not considered outsiders. Would you like to go to the humble house for a drink at night, Master Shen?"

Shen Xian said, "It's a pity, there are other things to deal with at night, I'm afraid I can't go."

Xie Che nodded, "Then Xie will go ahead."

Shen Xian nodded, and stood there watching Xie Che leave the palace gate.

At the time of You, all the officials returned from the government office. Xie Che first went to Jiang's mansion to meet the members of the Jiang family and reminisce about the old days. He returned to the third room with Jiang Ansu and the Mu family. Kneeling on the ground, the two of them were startled, they hurriedly pulled him up, and Mrs. Mu said in surprise, "You child, what are you doing?"

Xie Che refused to get up, and kowtowed to Mrs. Mu and Jiang Ansu three times, "Master, Master, I will leave for Youzhou tomorrow. I have been raised by you all these years. In my heart, you are my parents." , from now on I will be far away in Youzhou, so I won't be able to be filial to the elders."

Mu's tears fell, and he pulled him up again, "You child, what are you talking about? All these years, your master and I have long regarded you as our own child. When you were young, you were obedient and sensible, and helped me take care of those two bastards. Boy and Yuzhu, how can I be willing to let you go, but it is a good thing for you to go to Youzhou, you have been promoted, and you will help the people in the future, don't worry about me and your master, as long as you are good."

As long as he is well, they can rest assured that the care and love they put on Xie Che will definitely not be less than the other children.

Jiang Ansu also said, "What your teacher said is true, you don't have to worry about us." After a pause, he continued, "You go to the study with me, I still have something to tell you."

Xie Che got up and followed Jiang Ansu to the study room, and the two sat down on the grand teacher's chair. Jiang Ansu said, "Just like what your teacher's wife said, in our hearts, you are our child. I have some things to ask you for this trip to Youzhou. , you have your own ideas no matter how big or small you are, you never let us worry about you, you are calm and prudent when things happen, and you also have a compassionate heart, I hope that in your future career, you can keep your heart and don't do stupid things, Ah Che, can you understand?"

Xie Che looked at Jiang Ansu, nodded solemnly, "Ah Che will keep in mind Master's words, and I will be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."

When Shen Xian returned to the Duke's Mansion, Yuzhu also knew that Xie Che Zuoqian became the governor of Youzhou, and she was happy for him.

During the meal, she asked Shen Xian about it, and Shen Xian said, "Today in the morning, the emperor himself announced that he will leave for Youzhou tomorrow."

Yuzhu was surprised, "So fast?"

Shen Xian said, "The former governor of Youzhou has been suspended since the corruption and bribery case. The emperor values ​​Xie Che very much. It is expected that he will serve as the governor of Youzhou this time."

Yuzhu swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root in her mouth, "Then I'll get up early tomorrow to send Xie Big Brother off."

Shen Xian glanced at her, "Okay."

After dinner, Shen Xian went to the study to deal with some matters, Yu Zhu called Ming Lu and Ming Chen to come in, and sent messages to Jiang's and Xie's houses.After more than an hour, the two came back and told Yu Zhu that everyone in the Jiang family would go outside the city to see Xie Che leave early in the morning.

Shen Xian didn't return to his room until the end of Haishi, Yuzhu was already sleeping, an oil lamp was lit in the room, and the maids were sleeping on the couch. After he entered the room, the maids retreated. With him, the maids didn't have to keep watch of.Shen Xian took off his boots and went to bed, he didn't fall asleep immediately, sat there looking at Yuzhu for a while, then leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, hugged her into his arms and fell asleep.

The next morning, Yu Zhu woke up at a quarter of a hour, and urged the maids to wait for her to dress and freshen up. After a hasty breakfast, she planned to go out. Shen Xian stopped her, "I'll go with you, I don't need to go to the morning court today."

The two rushed out of the city in a carriage, everyone in the Jiang family was waiting at the gate of the city, and Xie Che was also there, reminiscing with the Jiang family, when Yuzhu got off the carriage, Xie Che's gaze shifted to her.Yuzhu trotted over holding the corner of her skirt, stopped panting, "just in time."

Xie Che smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry, I will definitely wait for you to come." As he spoke, he gave Shen Xian a slight nod as a greeting.

Everyone in the Jiang family also greeted Shen Xian. The Jiang family brothers talked to Shen Xian so that Xie Che could catch up with Yuzhu. The next time we see each other may not be a few years later.Yuzhu raised her head to see Xie Che's handsome and familiar eyes, her eyes gradually became moist, Xie Che laughed at her, "Why are you crying, it's not like you won't return."

Yuzhu muttered, "But I don't know when we will meet again." Without the emperor's summons, the governors from all over the country were not allowed to return to Beijing.

After all, Xie Che couldn't hold back, reached out and stroked her head, and said softly, "There will always be a chance to see her again."

"Then Brother Xie wants to promise me." Yuzhu looked at him with burning eyes, "If you meet a girl you like in Youzhou, Brother Xie will make a marriage earlier." Good girl, I hope he can be happy.

Xie Che looked at her, and after a long time, he replied softly, "Okay."

Send you back, there will be a farewell.Xie Che got on the horse, looked back at the family members, pulled the rein, the black horse raised its hooves, and galloped towards the pipeline.
