"Master Qiao."
After the case was over, Tang Jianqiu stopped by to visit Qiao Yunsheng. The relationship between the two was more like a teacher-student relationship than a superior-subordinate relationship.
Qiao Yunsheng was very surprised by Tang Jianqiu's arrival, but he also welcomed him.
"Master Tang has come to visit me in this humble abode. I hope the common people will forgive you for not being able to welcome me from afar."
Just as Qiao Yunsheng was saying this, he was about to bow his body and perform the proper etiquette. Upon seeing this, Tang Jianqiu quickly lifted him up.
"Master Qiao, please don't do this. Wouldn't it hurt Tang?"
Qiao Yunsheng didn't take it seriously, but thought it was because of him. Wouldn't it be rude if he didn't do this? .
"Master Tang, etiquette is still required. Now that I am no longer a member of the court, please don't call a commoner that way."
Only then did Tang Jianqiu realize that this move might be a bit abrupt, so he changed his words and said:
"Okay, then I'll call you Mr. Qiao."
No matter what period it was, the title sir was an honorific title, and it was not limited to men and women. It was also a unique title for elders and knowledgeable people. This shows how much Tang Jianqiu respected him.
Qiao Yunsheng was a little relieved to hear this. He hadn't heard anyone call him that for a long time.
"Master Tang, please excuse me. Please move to the hall. The common people will serve you good wine and tea!"
Tang Jianqiu was not polite to him and said casually: "Then there is Mr. Lao Qiao."
Under the leadership of Qiao Yunsheng, Tang Jianqiu came to the hall. Judging from the clothes in the room, it was enough to tell that Qiao Yunsheng was a sweetheart.
Look at the ink paintings hanging on the wall, evergreen calligraphy and paintings, backed by mountains, water (wealth) flowing, and peace, while mountains represent perseverance and loftiness, and water represents flexibility and flow.
It can be seen from this that the host is a very cultivated person who has read poetry and books.
To say that Qiao Yunsheng is in a good mood, Tang Jianqiu sat down and said: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that someone would come to visit me after I resigned at an early age. It really makes me happy.
Since Wei Zhongxian came into politics, I have wanted to resign from office several times, but there were still important matters that had not been dealt with at that time.
Nowadays, the eunuch party is becoming more and more powerful. I have a lot of influence in the court, and I am afraid of offending Wei Zhongxian, so I have to make this decision. "
Tang Jianqiu felt deeply about what Qiao Yunsheng said.
Wei Zhongxian was dictatorial and monopolized power, harmed the loyal and good, and had power over the government and the public. He did all kinds of evil and evil! There is a reason why people in the court are afraid of him.
If he hadn't been obsessed with revenge, he would have resigned long ago.
Tang Jianqiu nodded, and then said: "I can understand Mr. Qiao's mood."
"Master Tang, are you here for business or private matters?" Qiao Yunsheng asked.
"Of course it's a private matter, the official business has been taken care of."
Tang Jianqiu can also understand Qiao Yunsheng's concerns. After all, his identity is a Jin Yiwei, so it is not too strange that Qiao Yunsheng would ask such a question.
"I see. Your Excellency is very satisfied to see me, an old man. I will go back to Mengjin's hometown in a few days."
"I see."
Since it was not business, Qiao Yunsheng could relax a lot, and his tone towards him was different from the beginning.
Realizing that there was something missing, Qiao Yunsheng quickly added: "I don't know why you are here, sir? If I remember correctly, this place is not close to Beizhen Fusi."
Tang Jianqiu did not hide this, and simply said truthfully: "To tell you the truth, as a governor, I often go on patrol. Now that the task has been successfully completed, I stopped by to see you."
Qiao Yunsheng suddenly realized it, and then stretched out his hand to touch his two-foot-long beard: "I see, Mr. Tang is interested."
"Don't dare."
"Before that, I want to introduce my dog to you." After saying that, Qiao Yunsheng looked out the door.
"Son, come out!"
"yes!"
Then, a tall, slender, bearded man in official uniform walked towards where the two of them were.
Seeing the visitor, Qiao Yunsheng introduced him solemnly: "Master Tang, let me introduce to you. This is my dog Qiao Yuling. Dalang, haven't you met Master Tang soon?"
Seeing this, Qiao Yuling looked like a god, and quickly knelt down and clasped his fists to pay homage: "Qiao Yuling, commander of the Beicheng Army and Horse Department, pays homage to Mr. Tang, the envoy of Beicheng!"
Tang Jianqiu was flattered and hurriedly stepped forward to ask him to get up, "Master Qiao, you are serious. Please get up quickly. This is just private and not official business. How can you pay me such a courtesy?"
Qiao Yuling didn't take it seriously, not to mention that he had often heard his father's teachings, so he was naturally good at etiquette.
"The visitor is a guest, not to mention that the official has heard about your good governance. I really admire you!"
Seeing this situation, Qiao Yunsheng nodded with appreciation, "Son, you have to learn from Master Tang."
"Yes, father, by the way, Mr. Tang, I have often heard that my father always talked about you. Now I see you are really well-deserved!" After that, Qiao Yuling lifted her robe and sat down.
"It's a pity that I am only the sixth rank of the current dynasty. Compared with Master Tang, I am really far behind." Qiao Yuling shook his head helplessly.
He is much older than Tang Jianqiu, but his official position is older than his. He is really young and promising.
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu made a gesture to stop, "Master Qiao said something serious. As the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Division, Master Qiao is working very hard."
Qiao Yuling waved his hand and said: "Why is it so hard to work for the imperial court? Mr. Tang has a long-lasting reputation and is upright and honest. As the saying goes, being among everyone is like pearls and jade among the tiles. I must be like this, right?"
Unexpectedly, the other party would praise him so much. Tang Jianqiu felt a little embarrassed, "How dare you? Master Qiao, please stop making fun of me. I'm not as powerful as you say."
"No way, Mr. Tang is too humble. I should learn from you."
Seeing this, Qiao Yunsheng quickly added: "Master Tang, the dog has a reckless personality and is afraid of colliding with the powerful, so I would rather trouble you to help me, sir."
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao. If I can help, I will do my best. It's too late now and I still have things to deal with. I hope you can forgive me."
Tang Jianqiu cupped his fists and bowed. Qiao Yunsheng stood up quickly after hearing this.
"Sir, why don't you finish your meal before leaving? The food is almost ready."
"Yes, Mr. Tang, it's not too late to leave after eating." Qiao Yuling quickly agreed upon seeing this.
"Mr. Lao Qiao, if I'm here, I'm afraid I'll let you down." Tang Jianqiu bowed.
After hearing this, Qiao Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little pity, "Master Tang is in the court, how can I dare to compete with the court for you? Sir, please do as you please."
"Okay, then I won't bother you."
"Master Tang, I'll see you off."
Qiao Yuling hurriedly came to the door to greet Tang Jianqiu. He was not restrained and just nodded.
After leaving Qiao's Mansion, a group of guards in golden uniforms were waiting at the door. When they saw Tang Jianqiu, they all clasped their fists and saluted.
"grown ups!"
"Brothers, you have worked hard all the way. Find a nearby inn to eat. You can eat whatever you want."
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Tang!"
It is inevitable for the Jinyi Guards to be tired after running all the way. It would be nice to have a place to sit down and rest. Now that they have food to eat, it is really a good thing.
After finishing their lunch, Jin Yiwei and others set out on their journey to Fusi, Beizhen.
However, Ah Fei didn't know who he saw, and he couldn't walk anymore. His eyes would glance at the girl from time to time.
Although it is not a strange thing, the place is filled with people for some reason, as if they are watching some excitement.
It was precisely because there were so many people watching that curiosity was easily aroused. Upon closer inspection, I discovered a girl as beautiful as a flower.
There were several old women standing beside her to help her.
Logically speaking, it is inappropriate for the girl to show her face in public, but she is not here to sell these embroidery products. Instead, she seems to be showing off her talents to others.
Looking at the embroidery, one can't help but be amazed. The essence of embroidery on this piece is gold and gold, with gorgeous textures, making the embroidery elegant and graceful. It also gives a glimpse of the embroidery that dominated the world at that time.
In a daze, Ah Fei remembered something and quickly reported important matters to Tang Jianqiu:
"Sir, it is said that this woman's embroidery skills are very good, and she is even more beautiful than the embroidery made by the beautiful ladies in the palace!"
Ah Fei suddenly became interested. He swore that it was definitely not because the girl was so lively and attractive that he went to see her because he was in a state of inner turmoil. He just came to see her works.
He believes that there is no problem in appreciating material beauty!
However, Tang Jianqiu, as a military attache and a rough man, naturally did not understand the truth. To him, this was no different from the wordless heavenly book.
"Don't tell me this, I don't understand."
Tang Jianqiu made a gesture to stop there. He was not interested in this kind of thing.
"Sir, why don't you take a look and talk about it?"
Ah Fei had to pester him to watch. If he couldn't broaden his horizons, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating.
"What do I, a rough guy, need to know about this? If you want to see it, just go and see it."
Tang Jianqiu waved his hand impatiently.
However, he didn't know that these words were what A Fei wanted. He had wanted to do this for a long time.
"You really don't understand, sir. If you are as young as that, let's do it now!"
Having said that, Ah Fei rushed over as fast as he could, and his eyes almost popped out when he saw it!
Look at that pretty woman, the needle picks the jade finger and runs the golden thread, she is willing to marry someone else, the fine needle pierces the flower, fortunately the silk strands accompany it, the red thread is dotted with green, as gorgeous as a painting, the flowers and birds embroidered by the needle and thread are lifelike.
As if aware that A Fei was looking at her, the woman glanced at A Fei in surprise, and it was this look that almost took away his soul.
To say that this girl is the best in the world, let’s not talk about anything else, just her oval face, like a peach blossom in March, her eyes are full of charm, her waist is slim and graceful, and she is full of charm.
Just now, Ah Fei had an impulse and wanted to hide this delicate little lady under the covers, but he quickly reacted and slapped himself.
"Really, how can I think of all these nasty things!"
At that moment, A Fei felt that his mind was a little confused, and he ran away with his head covered like a rat crossing the street.
But the woman faced him with a smile. She stuck out her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had unspeakable emotions.
After escaping, A Fei was stunned for a long time before he could react. Even Tang Jianqiu called him several times and he didn't react.
"A Fei, A Fei!"
Tang Jianqiu was also furious, so he simply struck A Fei directly in the back of the head with his palm.
Only then did Ah Fei realize that he was intoxicated when he should have felt pain, as if he was still in the same place.
After all, Tang Jianqiu was also a man. Although he didn't understand the relationship between men and women, A Fei's various signs showed that his soul had been lost.
"I see you are here, but your heart is somewhere else."
Unexpectedly, Tang Jianqiu would be so direct. Ah Fei reacted suddenly and immediately changed into a flattering smile.
"Sir, you have discovered this."
Tang Jianqiu said expressionlessly: "I can't control what you do on weekdays. The top priority is to return to Beizhen Fusi."
"My lord is teaching you to go right away!"
