The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 416 I Wasn't The One Who Welcomed Me
Although Wang Ziteng's job as an imperial envoy is leisurely, but if he really wants to find something to do, there will be many things to do.

Now that the rivers are frozen, it is impossible to sit and fish leisurely by the river, and it is also cold, so it is not so convenient to go outside.So, recently he was in the house, researching about Bu Kui's exodus.

A few days ago, the imperial court sent more than 1000 exiles, which made the number of exiles in Bu Kui exceed [-] for the first time in many years.

Wang Ziteng couldn't help but secretly feel grateful for these exiles.

He has also been to other resettlement centers, and the resettlement centers in Bukui receive the best treatment among all the resettlement centers.

It can be said that when we arrive in Bukui, unless there is a force majeure disease, we can basically guarantee to go back alive.

The current Bukui distribution center is incomparable to other distribution centers in terms of food, living conditions, clothing, labor intensity, etc. for migrants.

Cong Xiucai promotes literacy education among exiles, and various government villages provide technical training for exiles, so that they can master certain skills. After returning in the future, they will be able to have special skills, which is even more a bright spot.

Jia Min's political achievements in Bukui are not only reflected in the military and exile affairs, but also in all aspects of economy and society, showing a clear style from time to time.

Wang Ziteng once spent nearly two years inspecting border affairs.Bukui is the most vibrant of the frontier towns he has seen.

This kind of vitality is not only reflected in the stability and prosperity of the local military and civilian life, but also in its great attraction to the outside world.

There is little energy in a place where the natives are fleeing.There will be no stability in a place where everyone is in danger, and no one will want to come.

If all the frontiers are like this, the population will become smaller and smaller, and the frontier will become more and more empty.

When the frontier is empty, enemy countries will take advantage of it, and the frontier will shrink more and more.

Everything about Bu Kui is exactly the opposite.If it weren't for the Tatars who were still in South Vendura, it would be hard to see that this was a frontier town.

The prosperity here is even higher than many places in the mainland.Compared with many places in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not inferior.

The Bukui Yamen also left a deep impression on Wang Ziteng.

In terms of quantity and quality, the officials and servants here have no advantage over other places.

However, compared with the staleness of other local yamen, Bukui yamen seems to be full of vitality.

There is no redundant staff here, everyone has something to do, and it seems that they are busy with official duties every day.

There is no empty pay here, and every official and servant has his own position and responsibilities.

The officials and yamen servants here don't talk about pomp and prestige, and the common people are not afraid of them, but there are almost no troublesome people here.

The yamen here are highly efficient and strong in execution. Whatever they want to do, they can always be done.

How did all this happen?
Wang Ziteng became more and more interested.

"Shiweng, Feng Ziying asks to see you."

Master Jiang came in to report.

"Please."

Feng Ziying came in, saw the ceremony, and before she could sit down, she spoke.

"Announcement to the adults."

"Ziying, why do you like it?"

"Huaiyuan is back and has brought His Highness Chang'an back. He is currently in the Erdaojiang barracks. I came here to report first."

"Really?"

Wang Ziteng couldn't sit still any longer and stood up.The voice of speaking has changed.

"It's absolutely true. Feng Zijing specially sent someone back to report the news. They rested there for a while before returning to Bukui. In addition, Huaiyuan brought Baoyu back with him. It's the best of both worlds."

"Okay, okay, so I'm relieved, so I'm relieved, so I'm relieved."

Wang Ziteng was almost incoherent.

Rescuing the prince earlier has shocked the government and the public.The emperor came to order and praised Wang Ziteng greatly.

The prince was rescued, which made the imperial court's status significantly improved in the negotiations with the Tatars, and its bargaining power was significantly enhanced.

Now that Her Royal Highness is rescued, the imperial court will no longer have any scruples in negotiations with the Tatars, and will no longer be afraid of the Tatars' threats.

Not only for the imperial court, but also for Wang Ziteng's personal prestige, it is also a huge help and improvement.

When the 15 army was defeated, the prince and princess were trapped, and others were helpless, as soon as he stepped out, he turned the tide and won successive victories. There is no second honor for this honor.

When Baoyu came back, he also solved a major problem in his mind.

Previously, his son Wang Xin was rescued by Wei Ruolan and the others. Although he was overjoyed, his nephew Baoyu's whereabouts were unknown, but it was always a knot in his heart.

Every few days, letters from Jia Zheng and his sister came, asking about Baoyu.At this time, Wang Ziteng felt very headache and didn't know how to answer them.

Now, this thorny problem is solved, and there is no more embarrassment.

"How about His Highness Chang'an's jade body?"

"I asked specifically. Your Highness is walking normally, and his spirit is good. He seems to have recovered."

"Okay, that's good. Quick, arrange the reception."

"My lord, please don't worry. The subordinate officials have already arranged it. I wonder if this arrangement is appropriate?"

So Feng Ziying explained how she had arranged to meet His Highness Chang'an.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this. The dinner and dinner should be more grand, and we should welcome His Highness and Brother Ming well. Brother Ming is indeed a talent. Let's go, I will go there with you."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Min and Chang'an got up from Erdaojiang on time and returned to Bukui.

Even though the journey was safe, Feng Zijing still sent a platoon to escort His Highness Chang'an to show off.

Before leaving, Jia Min told Baoyu that now Daiyu and her uncle are also in Bukui.

Baoyu showed no interest in his uncle's stay in Bukui.

If he were to tell the truth, he would rather his uncle not be here at this time.

Not only because of this embarrassment, but also because he has always been afraid of his uncle.

After walking for half a month, Baoyu never once asked Jia Min about Wang Xin and Xue Pan who were with him.This can't help but make Jia Min's disappointment with Baoyu a little bit more.

Whether Wang Xin or Xue Pan, to Baoyu, they were all relatives and comrades-in-arms, so indifference to their life and death also showed Baoyu's coldness of heart.

In the end, it was Jia Min who told Baoyu the news that Wang Xin had been saved from Feng Zijing.

Jia Min didn't do this for Baoyu's sake, but just to prevent him from leaving more embarrassment in front of his uncle.

On the contrary, as soon as Baoyu heard about Daiyu, Baoyu immediately became dancing.The excitement was palpable.

Before it was two o'clock, Jia Min was even urged twice to leave quickly so that he could meet Daiyu sooner.

Before leaving, he didn't bother with Tana, but Jia Min led someone to help Tana and Juoneng get into the car.

Along the way, Baoyu always wanted to go ahead, but every time, the soldiers blocked him.

This made him feel very depressed.

"I'm the elder brother of Chief Min, why can't I walk ahead? Even Li An can walk with him, why can't I?"

The soldiers saw that he was so long-winded, but no one answered him.He also heard that he was a member of the 15 imperial army before, and was rescued by Chief Min this time, so he looked down on him even more.

It's just because he is the brother of Chief Min, so it's hard to say anything about him, but it's just blocking him from coming forward.

Although Baoyu's heart had already flown to Daiyu's place, he had no choice but to see that Jia Min and the soldiers ignored him.He couldn't help scolding Jia Min in his heart.

Because riding a horse was faster than a carriage, after walking for a while, the team was divided into two parts.

A group of horsemen went first, because it was too late to welcome Chang'an at the west gate.

Now it gets dark early in winter, and it gets dark before five o'clock.Therefore, Jia Min and Chang An led some soldiers to go first, so as to rush to the city gate as soon as possible to meet Bu Kui's soldiers and civilians.

The sky is too dark, so dark that you can't see anything, the effect of the welcoming ceremony will not be good.

Jia Min never cared about the etiquette of welcoming and sending off.

However, Chang'an is a princess, and it has something to do with the dignity of her and the imperial court, so we should pay more attention to it.

The rest of Qing Gele's mother and son and Tana's father and daughter were left behind because they were riding in a carriage.Accompanied by a dozen or so soldiers, they marched unhurriedly.

Baoyu was supposed to stay with Tana, but because he was eager to see Daiyu, he insisted on going with Jia Min.

Seeing him like this, Jia Min knew that there was no cure, so she didn't bother to talk about him anymore and let him follow.

When we were about five miles away from Bukui, there was a covered carriage on the road.Chang'an got off his horse, Baochai and Lichun were already waiting here.

When Changan met Lichun, the two reunited after the catastrophe, and they cried a lot.Still under the urging of Jia Min, he got into the car and was changed by Li Chun.

At this time, Jia Min met Baochai alone.

The two stood together, and Jia Min quietly took Baochai's hand.

Not far away, those soldiers were still there, Baochai was embarrassed and wanted to break free, but if he could break free, he had to let Jia Min hold it.

Although my heart was anxious and ashamed, it was full of sweetness.

"Do you miss me at home?"

Jia Min asked a little shamelessly, with an almost rascal expression.

"Of course I do. I always think about it every day. It's just that it's not like some people who don't want to go home once they're outside. Every day, they make the family look forward to it."

"Baochai has wronged me. Every day, I am eager to return home. I want to come back as soon as possible, but..."

"Fourth Brother Min, needless to say, I know you also want to come back earlier, but you are outside, and the family is always worried about you."

The two didn't say a few words of love, but they heard Lichun shouting in the car, so Baochai got into the car, and accompanied Lichun to Chang'an, serving as Chang'an's attendant temporarily.Jia Min followed the carriage on horseback.

When Baoyu saw Baochai in front, he wanted to go up to meet him.But no matter what he said, the soldiers just wouldn't let him pass.I can't help complaining about Jia Min again in my heart.

Seeing that Baochai didn't come to meet him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Miss Bao was originally a water-like character, and she was betrothed to a layman, Min Laosi, so she inevitably became a little dirty.

Soon they arrived at the city gate of Bukuixi, and saw a crowd of people in the dark. After entering, they saw clearly that there were officials, soldiers, and countless people.

Baoyu felt happy all of a sudden.

So many people came to welcome me back.It must be because my uncle is here and I heard that I have come back, so there is such a scene.

For a time, Baoyu felt infinitely proud.

At this time, the carriage in front stopped, Baochai and the two women got out of the carriage and walked forward, the crowd cheered immediately.

what 's wrong?Didn't everyone come to welcome me?I hate this Fourth Min, it's already at this time, and he still won't let me go.

"Get out of the way quickly. So many people have come to welcome me, but why are you still blocking me here? Don't you fear that my uncle will deal with you?"

"Welcome you? Jia Baoyu, you think it's too beautiful, right? That's to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Chang'an."

At this time, I saw the crowd in front of me, kneeling down in a black mass.

Her Royal Highness Princess Chang'an?Where did Her Royal Highness come from?Why haven't I seen you all this time?

It turned out that these people actually came to greet others, not me!
