Chronicle of Emperor Jing

The passenger ship Qi Yuanheng took was a three-masted sailboat, which was used for both passenger and cargo. There were dozens of passengers, and it could also carry some goods that merchants carried with them.

Most of these passenger ships belong to local large companies. Generally speaking, there is a fixed time to go back and forth. It is not necessary to charter a special boat by yourself, but to take this kind of passenger boat, which saves labor and money, and is a relatively convenient mode of transportation.

When Wei Yan and others came to the pier, the gangway had already been set up on the boat, and guests and luggage were being unloaded.

Qi Yuanheng has been married for almost ten years, and now he is also a family member. His wife, children, servants, maids, nurses, and a group of more than a dozen people, plus a lot of luggage, they can't get off the boat quickly, so they can only wait behind the others. .

When he started to disembark, Wei Yan had directed his family to prepare everything.

"Brother Qi, sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. Is the journey going well?" Wei Yan stepped forward, smiled and greeted Qi Yuanheng and his wife with fists cupped.

"It's going well, Wei Qi, judging by your complexion, it's been a good time?" Qi Yuanheng returned him a salute, then looked him up and down, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

When he returned to Beijing this time, since he had something to do, he also worried about Wei Yan. However, he took his family with him, so he couldn't just leave at will like Wei Yan, and he couldn't get a direct boat to the capital like Zhao Shi.He set off about ten days later than Wei Yan, and stopped and stopped along the way, so that he only arrived now.

"Long time no see, Wei Qi." The girl Hongyu back then, now Mrs. Qi Zhuang, also blessed Wei Yan.

Wei Yan exchanged a few words with them, then pulled Wei Minwen behind him, and let him come to greet him.

"Brother Qi, sister-in-law, this is my son Minwen." Wei Yan introduced.

"Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, you've worked hard all the way." Wei Minwen leaned over and saluted with a very respectful attitude.

"This is... Minwen, please hurry up. Uncle doesn't have anything good on him, so I'll give you an inkstone to express my affection." Qi Yuanheng hurried forward, helped him up, and motioned the book boy to take an inkstone as a gift.

Wei Minwen met him for the first time, and as an elder, he wanted to give him a gift.

As for why Wei Yan suddenly had an extra son, although he had doubts in his heart, he was stupid to ask such a question in the street, and a person like him would definitely not do such a thing.

"Brother Qi, the meeting ceremony is not in a hurry. The luggage has not been packed yet, so don't make things difficult for others." Wei Yan immediately stopped him.

"That's right, it's hard to find now. Uncle will replenish it for you when you get home." Qi Yuanheng thought for a while, and didn't insist anymore.

The Zhuang family also called a couple of sons and daughters to salute Wei Yan, and met Wei Minwen again.

Qi Yuanheng has a pair of sons and daughters. The son is about five years old, and the daughter is only one year old and is still a toddler.

"Sister-in-law, it's cold outside, get in the car quickly." After seeing each other, Wei Yan motioned for Mrs. Zhuang to get into the front car with her children, and then she took Minwen and Qi Yuanheng into the second car. As for Brother Qi's Luggage, his family will help to load the car.

Qi Yuanheng sat in the carriage, raised the curtain and watched for a while, seeing that everything was in order, he lowered the curtain and talked to Wei Yan.

After they loaded their luggage into the car, Yuan Hongjing, the owner of Random House, hurried over with a few people.

Several people got out of the car again and exchanged a few words on the side of the road.At this time, the Qi family’s luggage was all loaded into the car, and loading and unloading would be troublesome. Qi Yuanheng didn’t bother, he didn’t reject Wei Yan’s kindness, and agreed to stay at his house for a few days, and then he and Yuan Hongjing waited. Farewell.

"It's okay to stay longer, there are quite a lot of empty yards over there." Wei Yan used to entertain guests in Weifu's place, but now he entertains friends in his own place, it's the first time, it's quite fresh feel.

"It's fine to stay for a few days. I'll move there when the house at the end of the Yanzi Bridge is finished. The place you live now is in Changxing, so it's inconvenient to travel there." Qi Yuanheng shook his head.

Qi Yuanheng definitely wouldn't go to Wei Mansion to Panyan in the first place, but now that Wei Yan Kai Mansion is living alone, he has the nerve to bother him.

However, Wei Yan's Yongning Hou Mansion is in Changxing, not far from the imperial palace, and the people living there are either powerful or wealthy, and it is the focus of the five-city garrison camp. Many of Qi Yuanheng's friends are Bai Ding. Living there, it is not convenient to communicate with friends.

"In this case, let me ask some people to clean up the house." Wei Yan thought for a while, and understood what Qi Yuanheng's inconvenience meant, so he didn't force him to stay.

"If you have craftsmen you are familiar with, please introduce a few to me. In a while, it will be difficult for me to find enough craftsmen to renovate the house." Qi Yuanheng nodded.

"I don't know craftsmen, but someone does. I'll go back and ask for you." Wei Yan's mansion was still being changed a few days ago, and many craftsmen were used, all of whom were entertained by the big housekeeper. One sound, this should be done.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Qi Yuanheng was not polite to him, and settled down very simply.

Qi Yuanheng and Wei Yan sat opposite each other in the carriage, drank tea for a while, because Wei Minwen was also there, it was inconvenient for him to say some things, so he only talked about gossip.

About an hour later, the group of them entered Beijing.

"The winter festival in Beijing is still lively." Entering the city, Qi Yuanheng lifted the curtain of the car, looked at it for a while, and sighed.

Today is the last day of the Winter Festival, but the streets are still bustling with people everywhere, and the winter chill has not been able to dispel everyone's desire to have fun and play during the holiday.

"That's right, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most benevolent place is just different." Wei Yan hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, "Brother Qi likes it, so I will stay in Beijing for a few more years."

"I'm a person who can't be idle. After this matter is over, I'm afraid I will go around and look around."

As they were talking, Changxingli finally arrived.

As Qi Yuanheng said, the patrol here is stricter than other places, but the badges of the Marquis of Yongning are all hung on these cars, and the patrolling soldiers only glanced a few times from a distance, and did not come to stop them.

If ordinary people came in, they would probably be stopped by these soldiers for questioning.

This is Qi Yuanheng's so-called inconvenience.

After all, no matter who went to visit a friend, but was interrogated so carefully, eighteen generations of ancestors wished to investigate clearly. In this case, no matter how good the person was when he went out, it would turn into a disappointment at this time .

After a while, the carriage turned into a street, and after a certain distance, it finally arrived at Yongning Hou Mansion.

Butler Wei had been waiting at the door for a long time. He directed people to open the middle door, welcomed his Lord Marquis and the guests to enter, and signaled for people to send the guests' luggage to the guest courtyard, and then followed behind and walked in together. go.

"Is this a reward from His Majesty?" Qi Yuanheng looked at it all the way, feeling a little astonished.

He is famous, and wherever he goes, unless he hides his name and does not socialize with others, as long as he shows his traces, he will definitely become a guest of the local wealthy family. Naturally, he has seen many wealthy families behave.

This Marquis of Yongning's mansion, in terms of luxury, is definitely the most luxurious mansion he has ever seen.

"Yes." Wei Yan is used to seeing good things, and that's it, he doesn't feel that his mansion is very different from other people's mansions.

"Is this compensation for your innocence?" If so, Qi Yuanheng can only say that this is really the emperor's style, and the compensation is so uninnovative and speechless.

"Probably not." Wei Yan said this with some uncertainty.

This mansion had already been put on the agenda before he was exiled, but the emperor had a lot of opinions and kept picking criticisms, so the construction never started.

When he was exiled, maybe the emperor would not be in the mood to criticize, so the construction could start smoothly.

Wei Yan arranged for Qi Yuanheng's family to live in the guest courtyard on the east side of the third entrance, and Zhao Shi and others lived in the guest courtyard on the west side, which was closer to the martial arts training ground, and they thought it was more convenient.

This guest house is self-contained, easy to come and go, more than enough to accommodate Qi Yuanheng's family.

At that moment, he took them to the guest house, asked them to wash and rest for a while, and in the evening, he washed the dust for them, and later, he had a long talk with Qi Yuanheng.

He is so busy, it is definitely impossible to enter the palace today.

One day later, he had both business and private matters, and he did not enter the palace either.

He didn't enter the palace for three consecutive nights, and the emperor's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water.

"I knew this would happen a long time ago, that's why I didn't want to let him open the mansion early." Jing Li was so lonely that he could only keep company with the memorial, and complained after approving it.As for the real reason back then... Anyway, he thinks so now, and others don't know, so there is no chance to refute it.

This guy Wei Yan forgets him when he has a new home, forgets him when he has a son, and forgets him when he has a friend. Wei Yan who doesn't put him first, how can he deal with him?

This question troubled him a lot.

On the evening of the fourth day, Wei Yan finally entered the palace, and what he faced was the emperor's very unhappy face.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan saluted, got up and moved to his side, and spoke softly to him, trying to make him not be angry, "It's my fault."

He is really busy, but the emperor is so unhappy, even if he is really stupid, he dare not speak like that.

"Hmph!" Jing Li snorted coldly, turned in a different direction, and ignored Wei Yan.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan changed direction and continued to lean towards him.

"Hmph!" Jing Li changed direction again.

"Your Majesty, it's my fault. You should punish me." Wei Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask for punishment.

"I haven't settled the debt with you last time!" Jing Li felt that he shouldn't let him go so kindly, so he should toss him every night to see if he still dares to run around like this and refuse to return to the palace?

Of course, the emperor who thought this way seemed to have forgotten something very important.Given that he was talking nonsense too much, it was inevitable that he would forget it occasionally.
