152. Great change
There was an extremely depressing atmosphere throughout Cining Palace.
He sat stiffly on the stool, holding a piece of rice paper full of words in his hand. She had read the contents of this rice paper countless times, and she could even memorize it backwards.
She knew exactly what was written on it, but now, she preferred that she couldn't read and read nothing.
That way, she might not have to despair anymore.
"Taiping...... Taiping...... Don't you want to stay with me like that? Well, if you want to go so much, why should I think about you again? ”
"Since you're gone, don't show up again, in this life, I don't want to see you again."
"Hehe, too, you've gone down to accompany her, how can I still see you? By the time I go down, you're afraid you'll already be reincarnated with her, right? ”
"That's fine, in the next life, I won't have to meet you again."
He said one by one, and at the end, tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.
She didn't cry, she just shed tears silently. Crystal tears continued to slide down her cheeks, dropping on the rice paper, soaking in clumps of ink.
He Shi didn't realize it, she just sat like this, until the sun set, Bai Zhi and the others outside couldn't wait any longer, and knelt on the ground to ask her to "take care of her body", He Shi raised his hand expressionlessly to wipe the tears on his face, smiled coldly, and kneaded the rice paper in his hand little by little.
For a moment, she wanted to tear it up, but when she grabbed it with her fingers, she found that she couldn't bear it at all, so she could only crumple it up and throw it into the corner of the box out of sight.
Just looking at the scrolls of paintings in the box, He couldn't help but open it to see.
The paintings are all peaceful, some when they become old turtles, and some when they become white tigers, but most of them are white tigers, and the white tigers in each painting are still wearing hats and clothes.
She painted all these paintings herself, and the hats and clothes in the paintings were also sewn by herself, and they were all carefully stored in the box.
It's a pity that those things are still there now, but Taiping will never come back.
He looked at it for a long time before he sighed heavily, re-rolled the painting, and put it in the box.
Thinking back to what was written in the letter left by Taiping, He suddenly felt that it was time for her to let go.
It's a pity that it's not easy to let go.
She grew up in a boudoir, and she has seen very few men, and she has never been tempted. Until the moment when she sat on the wedding bed in a bright red wedding dress and her hijab was revealed, she looked at the man in front of her curiously and nervously, and at a glance, she identified him.
At that time, Taiping was not called Taiping, and he was much older than her, but because of proper maintenance, his face was still handsome, and the light of the candle flame danced in his dark eyes, shining as bright as the stars in the sky.
He smiled softly at her, accompanied her to read and write, listened to her play the piano, and painted for her. It was a day she never thought she had, and the happiest day of her life, even happier than when she was at home.
Unfortunately, the happiness in the palace was short-lived after all.
He sighed deeply and locked the box firmly. The scenes of the past are still vaguely in front of me, but unfortunately the man who said that he would accompany her for the rest of his life is no longer there.
Outside Cining Palace, Gao Zixin stood like a stake. Feng Xuan stood beside him worriedly with Bao'er in her arms, but she couldn't say anything.
He knew that Gao Zixin was uncomfortable, and knew that he was worried about the He family, but no matter what he persuaded at this moment, he looked pale and powerless.
After a long time, Bai Zhi suddenly walked out quickly, quickly saluted Gao Zixin, and said softly: "The Queen Mother has already slept after dinner, Your Majesty should go back quickly." ”
Gao Zixin was silent for a while before he regained his voice: "She...... Did she say anything? ”
Bai Zhi said again: "Niangniang said, dust to dust, soil to earth, conform to nature, do not force it." ”
"Can't you force it?" Gao Zixin sighed softly, remembering the reluctant gaze when Taiping left, and suddenly laughed mockingly. Then he said, "Serve her so well, and don't slack off in the slightest." ”
Bai Zhi's heart sank, and she immediately responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely take care of the mother." ”
Gao Zixin waved his hand and turned to leave.
In fact, he couldn't stay for a long time, if he wasn't worried about the He family, he wouldn't have stayed here at all.
He didn't know how to face the He family, originally he wanted the He family to see the last side of the Taiping, who knew that the Taiping barely finished writing the letter, and as soon as he entered the beast cage, he could no longer control the original ferocity of the white tiger, and disappeared directly from the white tiger's body in front of him.
Without peace, the white tiger suddenly revealed its ferocity, although it did not bite people like crazy, but it also restored the nature of the beast, and it was no longer possible to be as close to people as before.
Although Gao Zixin was reluctant, he still listened to Feng Xuan's advice and ordered someone to send it to the Tiger Garden. There happened to be two tigresses sent by Feng Xuan last year, and the white tiger could be with them after he went.
It's just that after Gao Zixin ordered someone to send it over, he didn't want to see it again.
He couldn't accept such a white tiger, let alone the picture of it being close to the two tigresses.
Feng Xuan saw that Gao Zixin was a little distracted, so she simply put the treasure in her arms into Gao Zixin's arms. Gao Zixin instinctively hugged Bao'er, then glared at Feng Xuan fiercely, lowered his voice and roared, "What are you doing? I almost didn't catch him just now! ”
Bao'er was already asleep, but when she heard the sound, she rubbed her eyes and woke up, and when she saw that it was Gao Zixin, she immediately fell asleep with peace of mind.
For several days, Gao Zixin's mood was very bad, so that the atmosphere in the entire court was extremely depressing.
He is now more and more majestic, so that the courtiers who were not very honest have become more and more honest, and few people dare to be a moth anymore. Recently, Gao Zixin has been in a bad mood for everyone to see, so he doesn't dare to make a moth at this time.
Even if the courtiers already knew the true purpose of Jinyiwei, they could only pinch their noses and admit it, and no one dared to jump out at this time and point at Gao Zixin's nose and scold him for doing something wrong.
What's more, the large fields of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the imperial village are all growing well, and the courtiers have long been itching in their eyes, waiting for the final results.
Although they are not worried about starvation in a famine year, they also do not want to starve to death in a famine year, if the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the Huangzhuang are really amazing, then even in the famine year, the number of starving people will be much less.
Besides, no one who is an official in Beijing is a fool, and now they all see the changes in Daliang, especially the changes in Lingnan, which are changing with each passing day.
If there is another amazing grain production, the future of Daliang must be unlimited, and it is even likely to become a prosperous generation.
They are fortunate enough to witness the formation of a prosperous era, who would be so stupid as to cut off their future?
Sure enough, after just a few days of depression, good news came from Lingnan.
Previously, Gao Zixin implemented the method of drying salt in Lingnan, and asked Qian Bi to set up a shipyard in the past, build fishing boats, and encourage people to go to sea to fish. Now, it's already paying off.
Large patches of snow-white salt have appeared in the salt-drying fields by the sea, and the cost is much lower than the previous salt boiling method. The first fishing boats have returned, carrying a full load of seafood.
For this reason, many well-informed businessmen have rushed to Lingnan, and Zheng Yuan and Qian Bi have taken the opportunity to open a seafood restaurant. There are many seafood that everyone has never seen, but Zheng Yuan knows how to do it, so the business of the restaurant is very hot.
He even taught how to make seafood dry so that it could be transported over long distances and sold easily.
So, the people who were originally a little resistant to going out to sea to fish were all excited, and they went to the shipyard to book a fishing boat, and there were too many people who wanted a fishing boat, and the shipyard was too late to do it, so it could only expand the scale.
Lingnan's fishing industry will soon be able to form a complete industrial chain, coupled with salt drying and fertile fields and forests that are being cultivated, it is conceivable that it will not be long before Lingnan can become a cornucopia.
So as soon as the news reached the capital, the courtiers thought that Gao Zixin had deliberately bought a large area of mountains and forests in Lingnan, and they immediately moved their minds.
Gao Zixin's image of making money has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he deliberately bought the mountains and forests, could it be a loss-making deal?
What's more, there are still large tracts of fertile land being cultivated in Lingnan!
So these people thought about it and immediately arranged for people to go to Lingnan to buy land and land. As a result, those people went only to find that someone had already taken the lead!
The changes in Lingnan attracted a lot of businessmen, and as soon as these businessmen heard that Gao Zixin was buying land in Lingnan, they immediately became ruthless and directly spent money to buy it.
It's a pity that Gao Zixin has already issued a purchase restriction order, and there are strict restrictions on the purchase of land, just to prevent these people from buying and selling wantonly and exploiting the people of Lingnan too hard.
However, when the news of Lingnan reached Daning, Gao Zijian was not happy.
He has been busy cutting grass and eradicating the roots recently, who knows that it is just an oversight, Lingnan has changed a lot!
He immediately panicked, and even ran directly to see Gao Haichong, the king of Ning, who was under house arrest: "Father, are you still in Lingnan?" ”
Gao Haichong glared at him dissatisfied: "Evil obstacle! Now that you know that this king is your father's king, let him out quickly! ”
Gao Zijian's face changed, and he suddenly took out a piece of tissue paper full of words and threw it in front of Gao Haichong: "Father, you better see for yourself." The current Lingnan is not the Lingnan of the past. ”
