Jing Kangdi nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Liang Xinming said: "How could Lord Zuo Xiang recommend Weichen? Weichen solved the case of abduction and trafficking of girls, and the teacher killed Gao Chun because of this, and Lord Zuo Xiang didn't care about his previous suspicions?"

When Emperor Jing Kang saw her say it so frankly, he was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer, because he had also doubted before. He said, "Hugh is thinking. In major national affairs, Prime Minister Zuo has always been impartial and upright, how can he hold grudges. ”

Liang Xinming hurriedly said: "It's the heart of a villain who lives in the belly of a gentleman." The left prime minister 'can support the boat in the prime minister's belly', with a broad heart and a grand atmosphere. ”

The devil believes it!

Emperor Jing Kang also knew that "the prime minister can support the boat in his belly" or something, just talk about it, and can't take it seriously, so he hinted to Liang Xinming: "Liang Qing just let it go, if there is anything difficult, you can hand me an excerpt through Su Xiang." ”

Liang Xinming hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down to thank him, and said sincerely: "Weichen Xie Emperor is compassionate." Weichen will live up to the emperor's trust!"

Emperor Jing Kangdi stretched out his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”

At one time, I arrived at the Xiangxue Sea in the East Palace, entered the courtyard gate, and saw a mountain, a real mountain, and there were a few rocks scattered on the mountain, and a few green pines with iron bones. Turning this mountain, from near to far, I saw Danxia like a brocade, like a fairyland.

This is a plum grove, and the plum blossoms are blooming.

The cold wind passes, and the dark fragrance enters the heart and spleen.

There is a plum pavilion in front, the monarch enters the pavilion, only to see that there are windows on all sides, there are fan-shaped, there are round, there are octagonal, the window lattice carving is wonderful, the glass is inlaid inside, the yellow curtain is hung, it is bright and dazzling. In the pavilion, there is a bronze Baoding smoker for fishing and farming, and the charcoal fire is blazing, and the breath is warm like spring. There are also chaise longues, rose chairs, yellow brocade mattresses on the couch, large pillows and crutches. Emperor Jing Kangdi sat on the couch and motioned for Liang Xinming to sit. Liang Xinming thanked him, and then sat in the rose chair.

Liang Xinming looked around and praised: "I didn't expect that there is such a big plum garden in the palace, which sets off the Guidian Lan Palace, like a heavenly palace fairyland, which is completely different from the Songshan Plum Garden." ”

Jing Kangdi said with a smile: "This garden is designed by a famous artist, there are scenery all year round, the peach and plum clouds are steaming in spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming in summer, there are osmanthus and chrysanthemums in autumn, and in winter, plum is proud of frost and snow, so it is called 'Xiangxue Sea'." ”

Liang Xinming remembered that she had heard Wang Heng say that Xiangxuehai belonged to the East Palace, and because the prince of the East Palace was vacant, it was also vacant here.

The palace maid served refreshments, and the monarch and ministers gossiped.

Emperor Jing Kangdi looked at her carefully again, nodded and said: "Aiqing has gained some weight, although it is much worse than when she left Beijing, and it is darker, but it is much stronger than in the portrait." The last time I saw the portrait that Wang Qing drew for you, I was shocked—too thin to look good! Although I hope that the courtiers can be conscientious, if they survive like this, I will not be at ease, and I have been thinking about it. Tell me, how are you doing with this county order?"

Liang Xinming said, not saying what had been done, but saying that she couldn't do it, or what was difficult to do. For example, she has talked about the creation of Qianshan Lake, the abduction and trafficking of girls, and the Du family and the Tang family, but she has talked about the difficulty of reversing the people's way of thinking, such as the use of rice threshing machines.

She brought out the topics discussed with the people under the big elm tree on the shore of Qianshan Lake that day, and broke the account of five cents and counted it to the emperor.

Emperor Jing Kangdi listened to it with relish, and echoed a sentence or two from time to time.

"I can't give up five pennies!"

"Isn't it too poor?"

"He won't give out even if he has money!"

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"That's what they are. ”

Liang Xinming said: "...... Weichen grabbed a brain active and let him take the lead. When his family becomes rich, others will be blushing, and they will definitely follow him. ”

Jing Kangdi patted a few times: "Aiqing, this idea is wonderful!"

Liang Xinming said: "Li Shan has an active brain, is diligent, and good at learning. In the front and back of his house, in the corners of the ground, melons, fruits and vegetables were planted in the seams, and the house was well organized. Weichen sat at his house eating watermelon, and couldn't help but ask for help. Other people...... Alas, don't say it. ”

Jing Kangdi laughed and said, "It's like reading a book." There are so many people who read books in the world, but only a few are successful in reading. ”

Liang Xinming said: "Exactly. The days of the farmhouse are not all simple and poetic, and Weichen only understands the artistic conception of Tao Weng's idyllic poetry in Li Shan's house: more than ten acres of square houses, eight or nine thatched houses. Behind the eaves of the elm willow shade, in front of the Taoli Luo Hall...... The dog barks in the deep alley, and the rooster cries in the mulberry tree. Others, that's a mess!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.

She hurriedly said to the emperor: "Weichen brought some local products from Qianxian County, so that the emperor can taste the things under his rule." Humble Jing also brought some chestnuts and wild tea to the queen and Dong Guifei, all of which were fried by Humble Jing himself, to show respect. ”

On the same day, Dong Guifei rewarded Hui Niang rouge gouache and other things, although it was in line with the emperor's wishes, but she gave Liang Xinming and his wife a long face, and she remembered this favor. Besides, the establishment and maintenance of personal relationships depends on walking, there are many concubines in the palace, and it is difficult to give gifts.

As soon as Emperor Jing Kang was happy, he ordered someone to send Dong Guifei over.

When Dong Guifei came, Liang Xinming was talking about the trivial matters and disputes of the common people.

Liang Xinming hurriedly visited the concubine and asked for peace on behalf of Hui Niang.

Concubine Dong Guifei accepted the salute, called out very modestly, and then smiled and said to Emperor Jing Kang: "The emperor is really not wrong, Liang Zhuangyuan has an outstanding demeanor. ”

Emperor Jing Kang said with a smile: "Concubine, sit down and listen to Liang Qing tell folk anecdotes." ”

Since Wu Ci entered the palace, Concubine Dong Guifei has been left out in the cold, for a few months, it seems to have become yesterday's yellow flower, who knew that today the emperor remembered her again, and asked her to come to Xiangxuehai, and after seeing Liang Xinming, he didn't let her avoid it, and let her accompany her.

Concubine Dong Guifei was secretly grateful to Liang Xinming and sat beside the emperor.

Liang Xinming continued with the previous words.

“…… He came to complain that his family's eggs had been stolen. When Weichen received the report, he went to the scene to inspect and found that it was not a burglary, but a hen that was lost. ”

Jing Kangdi squirted out a sip of tea and bent over with a smile.

Dong Guifei hurriedly patted him on the back to help him calm down.

Emperor Jing Kang relieved himself and urged Liang Xinming to continue.

Liang Xinming couldn't stop laughing when he remembered the events of that day.

The hen didn't lay eggs at all, but he didn't say she had lost them. Liang Xinming patiently asked him why. The man said that he was blind and the old lady could touch it, and she felt that there were eggs in the hen's belly. As long as he doesn't let the chickens out, the chickens will lay eggs at home, and if they are released, the eggs won't come back, so he concluded that they had been stolen.

Liang Xinming couldn't, so he made a false move, pretending to sentence the person for fooling around, but secretly asked a young man named Huazi under Qing Mo to stare at the hen. After staring at it for several days, I found out the secret, and sure enough, someone stole the eggs, and the stealing method was very clever, not waiting for the hen to "cluck", pinching a little to "pick" the eggs out.

Emperor Jing Kang's eyes widened and asked, "Who is it?"
