Chapter 68: Visiting Relatives
After Liu Yu left, Ye Mengding returned to his study, he paced unhurriedly in the room, all he thought about was Liu Yu's previous words, the literati at this time were not as ashamed of words as they were later, so there was a prosperous trade and maritime trade of the two Song Dynasty, the reason is very simple, the country is overwhelmed by strong neighbors, and there is always a danger of destruction, and there is nothing to talk about without money!
His eyes stumbled upon the middle row of the bookshelf on the right, where all the books he had received since his time were placed. There are praises and denigrations, promotions and transfers, decades of honor and disgrace are just such a small row of papers, if you can finally die in the land of this hometown, it will be enough to comfort your life.
walked over and flipped to the end, and sure enough, the letter he had just received was received there, and reading the text on it again in his hand, Ye Mengding suddenly made a new discovery. In this robbery, the two young officials in green robes were over-moved, Zhedong Shuaisi only fined him under his own protection, and Hai Si went to take over by himself, and the young man who had done all the work did not mention it.
Still underestimate him, Ye Mengding strung together the recent events and thought about it, and suddenly understood that the merits of Jiankang have not been rewarded, and the merits of suppressing bandits have not been reported, after marrying with his family, he will no longer be a foundationless officialdom chick, at least he has left an impression on the Empress Dowager, what is this? Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
Thinking about the book jokes circulating among the people, in a rural place like Ninghai, it is also known in the streets, whether the decision to marry a daughter was affected by this, he himself can't tell, this is the hope of the people. A passer-by who has not passed the imperial examination, has a sacred heart and a popular reputation, and he can't do this kind of business at Liu Yu's age.
And those impeachments, as long as the impeachment is clarified, Ye Mengding suddenly has a bold idea, what if Yiqiē was planned by this kid? The final conclusion made him feel a little chilly, Liu Yu was very honest in front of him, and even his ambition was undisguised, would he have such a scheming? For the first time, Ye Mengding had a feeling that he couldn't see clearly.
Of course, this is not a bad thing, he only needs to be loyal to the court, without dissent, the future is limitless, what Ye Mengding doesn't understand is, what does he want in the end? A person who is a secretary of the city is naturally not a problem, and the commander of Zhedong is also said to push it, and there is no vacancy elsewhere, where to move him to the position of a Luchen.
Putting aside these chaotic thoughts, he sat back in front of the bookcase, lifted the pen and dipped it in ink and wrote it on a piece of paper.
"This Uncle Li!" Jiankang Mansion Division, Li Tingzhi glanced at the documents in his hand, smiled wryly and shook his head, he has a headache, he is in a hurry here, people are not in a hurry, and they are still reasonable, so you can't have a seizure.
This document is a reply letter sent by the Huaixi Division, for the border alert order he sent in the name of the Jianghuai Governor, the letter did not resist ~ the system, but did not say that it would be implemented, to the effect that "I know, wait for me to check." This is a typical literati style, and Li Tingzhi can't say anything.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Li Anfu is only afraid that he is weak, he has only been in Luzhou for a few days, and it is difficult to say whether the decree can leave the government, and it is also the right thing to be cautious." A staff member took the paperwork and looked at it and said, both of them are surnamed Li, and it is difficult to call the latter "handsome".
Of course, Li Tingzhi understands this truth, and only in this way is he even more troubled, Huaixi is the top priority of border defense, and three of the five state armies along the border are under its rule. When Huaixi is not handsome, he can directly intervene, with his prestige, even if the generals of the original Xia Department are rebellious, they can basically obey the dispatch, but now?
Whether Li Fu can control the way aside, will Tartar give him this time? Li Tingzhi can imagine his difficulties, if it was before, the discord between the generals and the boss was something that the boss liked to see, it meant that he could calmly use balancing measures, but the current situation could not tolerate this kind of tilting, and it was urgent to prepare for the border to defend against the enemy.
"Dashuai, wait a little longer, we can't be too dazzling." The staff seemed to read his thoughts, and reminded him vaguely.
Li Tingzhi was silent, it is not a good means to intervene in the disputes between his subordinates too early, he understood the words of his cronies, he was too strong, he would be jealous, if he wanted to seek the country, he had to seek his life first, and only in his position could he talk about governing his government.
Wait, just wait, and when the contradiction over there is sharp, it will naturally be sent to the door to ask for mediation. After hesitating for a long time, he still sighed in his heart and suppressed that eager thought.
"Boom, boom!" A muffled thunder sounded, heavy rain poured down, the sky that was still bright just now sank, and it rained in the south of the Yangtze River, which was also a common thing. Li Tingzhi looked at the rain curtain outside the hall and couldn't help but think, if that kid was in his place, how would he decide?
"Here, this is our house." After getting out of the taxi, Liu Yu pointed to a dormitory building and said, Su Wei looked at the direction he pointed, this kind of old-fashioned factory dormitory is really rare, it has long been demolished in the larger city, Liu Yu said that she understood that this is his parents' home, but what is our family?
"You stinky boy, don't say hello first when you bring a friend back." Mother Liu glanced at the girl behind her son, raised her hand and made a beating gesture, but when it came to her body, it turned into a slap.
As a colleague was introduced to the boss's parents, Su Wei generously called "Uncle and aunt", her manners and simple dress, no grease powder dress almost immediately won the favor of Liu's mother, the son who didn't come home for half a year was immediately thrown aside, she held the girl's hand and kept making noise, which made Su Wei a little embarrassed, this is also part of the work?
Knowing his mother's thoughts, Liu Yu and his father glanced at each other, shook their heads and followed them, the two went into the house and sat down on the sofa, a CRT old TV was broadcasting a dog blood through the palace fighting drama of the domestic fire, and there was freshly boiled tea on the coffee table, Liu Yu naturally lifted the pot and poured two cups.
"How long can you stay this time?" Father Liu took the teacup and asked with a sigh.
"If you pass by on a business trip, you have to leave tomorrow." Liu Yu didn't hide it, he did decide to go home this time, in order to appease his parents' hearts, of course, he also had ulterior motives for bringing Su Wei, everyone tacitly agreed, and no one would break it.
Liu's father glanced at the two women who were still standing at the door, and couldn't see anything from his son's expression, he didn't want to care about whether it was true or not, after all, marriage was his son's business, fortunately only the parties concerned knew, the two chatted without a word, Liu Yu picked out some of the company's things and said it, he didn't want to lie to his family, so the things were true, but it had nothing to do with him.
Hearing that his son has developed, Liu's father is very pleased, the idea of their generation is very simple, it is enough to have a stable job and a happy family, and they don't want to be rich and expensive.
"Dead old man, what are you still sitting for, there is nothing at home, hurry up and buy some." Mother Liu took Su Wei's hand and entered the living room, said angrily, drove Liu's father out, pressed Su Wei on the sofa, stopped her from wanting to help, and went into the kitchen by herself.
"Xiaowei is not bad, although it is difficult at home, it is rare to have filial piety and affection." Seeing her son coming in, Liu's mother was doing her work and turned around and said. Liu Yu was speechless, it was only a while, and the title changed from "Xiao Su" to "Xiao Wei", who was born so eagerly?
It seems that he has asked the details of the people, Liu Yu smiled and picked up a piece of washed cucumber and put it in his mouth, "click, click" and gnawed, his mother was immersed in his imagination, how could he break it, he was indeed going to get married, but the bride had someone else, and he couldn't get it back, and he felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, don't pay attention to my mother, it's a woman who will be annoyed by her here." After staying in the kitchen for a while, Liu Yu came out with a plate of fruits, and saw that Su Wei's face had recovered as usual, and he had to take advantage of others first.
"Aunt is very good." Su Wei shook her head, there is nothing to be annoyed about, people also said that they are colleagues, she can't care what the boss thinks, what is this little thing about a part-time job.
That episode was really boring, and neither of them was interested, so Liu Yu invited her to visit her original room. Although he rarely comes back, the room is very clean, Liu Yu touches the spotless countertop, and the apology in his heart is even greater, and he says it well, but what old man will not miss his son?
"Hey, who's this?" Su Wei pointed to a photo on the bookcase and asked, it was a group photo of two people, one was naturally his boss, and the other was younger in camouflage uniform, shaved his head, and the two of them smiled very brightly on their shoulders.
"My younger brother, who is three years younger than me, joined the army as soon as he graduated from high school, and this is the only time he took it when he went home to visit his family." Liu Yu stared at the young smiling face, and his tone was a little low.
"What's wrong?" Su Wei heard that something was wrong.
"Shortly after that visit, he had a mission and was never heard from. Two years later, our family received a death notice. Liu Yu didn't say the details, and the military's explanation was that the person was missing, and he didn't answer what he did and where he disappeared, and no one at home ever mentioned it.
"That's why I said, you're happier than me, and your brother still has hope, but I can't find a place to pay my respect." Su Wei didn't expect this result, covered her mouth, and saw that Liu Yu's eyes were already filled with tears.
"It's all over, don't mention it for a while." Liu Yu patted her hand and said.
"Hmm." Su Wei nodded.
Turning around, there was a set of words on the wall against the bed, although he didn't know calligraphy, Su Wei could also see that the pen was extraordinary, and the font was vigorous and powerful.
"Yu thinks that there are drowning people in the world, and they are drowning; Thinking that there are hungry people in the world, they are also hungry, and they say Mencius, which was written by my grandfather, and the names of our brothers were also taken by him. Liu Yu read slowly.
"Your name is Liu Yu, then," Su Wei muttered.
"His name is Liu Ji." R1058
