When Manager Ge heard this, his expression changed and he said, "Didn't you tell them that the Hou Ning Mansion was about to leave the seclusion?" Ning Boyang smiled hurriedly and said, "Why didn't I say it? If I just shut the door and let out the words, I would be considered the emperor." I’m here, and it’s the same here, no one is allowed to turn on or off without orders from the Commander-in-Chief!”
I was startled, glanced at Ning Boyang, and blamed him in my heart. I shouldn't have spoken like this. Naturally, I didn't know this General Guo, but I could tell that he was a responsible man, and he belonged to the founding hero of the Republic of China, Wu Dinghou Guo Ying. The descendants have the title of Marquis of Wu Ding. After all, this is the gateway to the Ming Dynasty. It's great to get out of the customs easily!
Manager Ge was also stunned. He didn't expect to be so strict. I thought about it and said, "Manager Ge, we are approaching Mongolia outside the customs. I think Mr. Zhang did not let us out easily for the sake of everyone's safety."
Ning Boyang said: "Nowadays, Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are friendly. Isn't Mr. Zhang a little too cautious? He hasn't fought for many years?!" I hesitated for a moment and said to Mr. Ge: "Mongolia is close at hand. I heard that The Mongolian cavalry are extremely brave and good at fighting. We must not be careless. Mr. Ge, do you have the customs clearance documents in your hands? No, you, the old man, will come forward to negotiate with them to see if we can get out?"
Before General Manager Ge could speak, a woman smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty has an army of 300,000 tigers and warriors guarding this place. Are you still afraid of Mongolia? Don't forget, this city of Beijing is the gate of the emperor guarding the country!"
The speaker was none other than Miss Ning Xi. She was wearing a white mink coat and walked out of the sedan chair. That day, I was so eager to save people that I didn't take a closer look at Miss Ning Xi. When I was in the palace, because it was night, I didn't dare to look too arrogantly. It can be said that the sky is clear here today. We looked at this arrogant young lady carefully and saw that her eyes were like water, her curved eyebrows, her straight nose, and the slight dimples on her cheeks. The light reflected from the snowy sky On her face, her skin color was crystal clear and as soft as jade, with a strand of black hair scattered under her cheeks, adding a touch of charm. Ning Boyang and I were very excited and quickly raised our hands to salute, but Miss Ning Xi didn't even look at us. I took a step forward and said, "My subordinate Zhang Ying, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei, has been ordered to escort the lady here. According to the Ming Dynasty law, no You are not allowed to leave the customs without authorization with the permission of the general!"
Miss Ning Xi glanced at me and said, "Isn't this a little too much? Do I need to write a document from the Ministry of War when I leave the customs? Isn't this easy to do? Are you really a timid person?" I was speechless for a moment. , I couldn’t get out of my mind. What does it have to do with me? It was obviously bullying others, but I had an idea and said: "Reply to Miss, we are just ordered to escort. As for the official documents, I really don’t have them. However, I heard that I , the guard here only recognizes documents, not people!"
Miss Ning Xi smiled and said, "What a bunch of stupid heads. Is it so difficult to get out of the barrier?"
Her words were heard by the Mongolians over there. The woman in white smiled slightly and walked straight over, followed by two strong Mongolian men. I took a step forward, stood in the middle, and said: "Stay back, don't do it." Come closer!" The woman in white smiled sweetly and said: "My lord, you are worrying too much. Are you still worried that a weak woman like me wants to do something wrong?" I hesitated and said: "Since you know our identities, please do it. It's convenient, it's better to stay back." The woman in white was still smiling. Ning Xi waved her hand, motioning for me to step back, and asked, "What do you want from me?" The woman in white looked at Ning Xi up and down, and said, "This girl It’s true, the Ming Dynasty is great, the power of heaven is spread all over the world, and peace lasts for a long time. Where are the weapons? What’s more, Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty are friendly neighbors, why should we be so careful? If it spreads, it will make people laugh. "
Miss Ning Xi looked at her, then at the Mongolians, and said, "Who are you?" The woman in white smiled lightly and said, "We are Mongolian merchants. My surname is Wang. Please call me Mrs. Wang. My husband's name is Ba." Picture, we have been doing business all year round. We have business documents approved by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, it was easy to pass, but I don’t know why now we are strictly interrogating. The goods are mostly tea and porcelain. I really can’t help but toss. I think the lady is naturally beautiful. She is graceful and luxurious, and must be the daughter of a wealthy family, so I take the liberty to ask the lady for help so that we can pass the customs smoothly."
Standing together, Ning Xi and Mrs. Wang are both beauties. Ning Xi is young and is a relative of the emperor. She is as beautiful as a flower, and her skin is as smooth as snow. Her movements are noble. Although Mrs. Wang looks older, she is as beautiful as a flower. But her skin is fair and her eyebrows are a little gentler. When people see her, they can't help but feel a little more favorable to her. And the sound is extremely pleasant to the ear and makes people lose their minds.
Many people stared at it, and I guessed that Ning Xi would definitely help, but Ning Xi said: "This is the law of the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural for them to check. It is very difficult for us to get out." Mrs. Wang was a little bit Strange, then he smiled and said: "Since Miss wants to leave, why don't we talk about it together? I see that you have a distinguished status, and it is common for you to say a word!" Ning Xi smiled and said: "Yes, I have some status, if you are tough I'm afraid it won't be good to leave the customs. Let's take a look for now. If the inspection goes well, we will all leave the customs together." Her words were like a good and law-abiding citizen, which was completely different from before. We were surprised. In the past, Rumor has it that she is very domineering and does not want to be so reasonable today. While he was talking, the bag on the camel was pierced by a soldier, and many porcelain pieces fell off and were broken into pieces. The soldiers didn't take it seriously, but several Mongolian men had already walked up, talking and looking very angry. The man named Batu waved at them, then walked over and spoke in Chinese. He said: "Besides tea, these goods are also porcelain. I am really afraid of falling. There is a customs clearance document here. I walk here all the year round, and I hope it will be convenient for you." After saying that, he took out a banknote from his arms, and the leading boy The leader pushed away the banknote he handed over and said: "Don't do this, we are doing things according to the rules. If you interfere again, we will unpack all your goods."
Batu smiled faintly, turned his head, and looked at the people from the East Factory. At this time, an elderly man from Dongchang came over. Although his face was full of wrinkles, he had a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. He cupped his hands and said, "We are Lin Sheng, the eunuch guarding Dongchang. We were ordered to escort these Mongolian merchants out of the customs. Before leaving, the factory owner repeatedly stated that the state affairs were of great importance and we were not allowed to break the rules here. However, it was snowing heavily today and it finally cleared up. It was already getting late. It’s convenient to send them out of customs!”
The little leader didn't seem to be afraid of Dongchang and said loudly: "It's Mr. Dongchang, but we do act according to the rules and don't dare to open and close the door easily. Once the inspection is passed, we will naturally let him pass! A few days ago, the Tatars invaded Pass, and the war in Shaanxi is intensifying. This is an important defense area, so we have to be careful." You must know that although Dongchang's power has just revived, its momentum and reputation are strong, and it is beyond the reach of others. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to offend. Their little leader is neither humble nor arrogant, which makes people admire him very much.
Lin Sheng laughed, as if he didn't believe it, and said: "Firstly, they have a customs clearance document, and secondly, do you dare to disobey the words of Mr. Dongchang?" As he said, the two people beside him had quietly stepped forward, with their right hands But he went to touch the handle of the knife. As bystanders, we had already seen that Lin Sheng was about to take action. The little leader was also alert and said: "It's not disobedience, we are acting according to the rules." As he spoke, his eyes had glanced at the two people. , waved his hands calmly, and a dozen officers and soldiers gathered around holding long guns, and not far away there were also a dozen officers and soldiers holding firecrackers, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment. I was shocked and quickly asked Miss Ning Xi to return to the warm sedan. Mrs. Wang was also shocked and quickly returned to the Mongolians. Lin Sheng took a look and saw that we were on guard, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, in this case, our family won't embarrass you, what is your name?" The little boss said: "I'm on an errand, no need to say your name, father-in-law. Please bear with me!"
Lin Sheng laughed loudly and said, "Is this how Wu Dinghou treats his old friend?" Wu Dinghou naturally refers to the commander-in-chief Guo Deng. I thought to myself, it turns out they know each other. It's just that it's not easy for this little boss to do things according to the rules.
"It's Eunuch Lin, you're being lazy, you're being neglected!" someone shouted from a distance, and then several fast horses came. The man on the horse seemed to be familiar with Lin Sheng. He came closer, got off his horse, and said with cupped hands: "Eunuch Lin, , long time no see!”
The man was burly and looked like a general. Lin Sheng glanced at him and said in return, "It's General He. I haven't seen him for a long time."
