Chapter 7 Liu Wenjing's plan
Shimin settled the two sisters and came to Jinyang Prison with Li Jinze. Shimin strode in, and Li Jin hurriedly stuffed the silver and the guards and waited outside.
"Uncle Liu." The people saluted to the men in the great prison.
I saw the people in the prison, dressed in white and plain clothes, but it was difficult to hide the heroic spirit. This person is Liu Wenjing, the former Jinyang commander, who was imprisoned because he had an unlucky relative, Li Mi, who was in full swing to create a rebellion against the Sui Dynasty in Wagangzhai.
"Shimin, when will you return to Jinyang?" Liu Wenjing saw Shimin coming, and hurriedly stood up.
"Just came back yesterday." Shimin then told him about the situation of seeing Chai Shao and Li Yuan's intention to postpone the army.
Liu Wenjing muttered: "Ling Zun has always been cautious, which has enabled him to be preserved in the Great Sui officialdom. It's just that the matter of raising troops is an opportunity that cannot be lost, and it will not come again. As the saying goes, 'the first strike is made by the others, and the second strike is made by others'. ”
"The little nephew also thinks so, Liu Wuzhou captured Fenyang Palace, and we used the excuse of counterinsurgency to recruit troops, which is a rare opportunity. But in order to raise troops, the soldiers and horses have been handed over to the leadership of the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji. Both of them were Sui court guard officers, and they took refuge with their father in order to escape the military service in Liaodong, and they were rebel generals of the imperial court. After a long time, it will inevitably arouse the suspicions of Wang Wei and Gao Junya. And my father is hesitant at this time, and he does not listen to my persuasion, how is this good? Shimin said, the Xuan Ang's brows furrowed slightly, and he twisted out a Sichuan character, he didn't sleep well all night, and he didn't come up with a way to persuade Li Yuan.
Liu Wenjing pondered for a while and said, "Maybe someone can help." ”
"Who?"
"Jinyang Palace Supervisor Pei Lone."
"Can he be trusted?"
Liu Wenjing paced with her hands behind her back, "Back then, I talked to him about major events in the world, and he also wanted to make a difference. Moreover, he has a great friendship with Ling Zun, and he will definitely be able to find a way to persuade Ling Zun. ”
Shimin suddenly realized, "Thank you Uncle Liu for your advice, without further ado, Shimin will find a way to pull Pei Lin out of the mountain." ”
"Let's go." Liu Wenjing said.
Shimin turned around to leave, and then turned back, "Uncle Liu, please hold on for a few more days, Shimin will definitely find a way to let Uncle Liu Shi out." ”
Liu Wenjing laughed, "What is this, if the big thing is done, not to mention this small cell, even Jinyang can't lock Liu Wenjing." ”
The two of them smiled heartily, and Shimin walked out of the cell.
The life in the Li Mansion for a few days was delicious, but Ziyi felt that it was not boring. The ladies of the big families here can't go out shopping casually, let alone go to the next restaurant and sing a KTV. Zixuan was really stunned, she followed Chunhua and Qiushi to learn to wear Tang Dynasty clothes, put on Tang Dynasty makeup, comb Tang Dynasty hair, embroider Tang Dynasty uppers, and her determination to take root in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be nine cows that could not be pulled back.
Ziyi didn't want to get involved with them, so she wandered around the house alone, and the courtyards in the shape of "Hui" all looked the same, and there was nothing to look at. Wandered around and came to the back garden of the house, although this garden is big, but there is no one, Xu is not allowed to come in casually, and the owner has no time to come. Pavilions and pavilions, flowers, there is a pool of spring water under the rockery, and many koi fish compete to swim in it.
Although the scenery is good, it is not attractive to Ziyi from modern times. She broke a willow branch in boredom and slapped the water to scare the koi for fun.
"Do those fish have a grudge against you?"
Ziyi was startled, turned around and saw that Li Shimin was lying on her side, with one hand on her head, looking at her with interest.
"Why are you peeking at me? Are you a voyeur? Ziyi said fiercely.
Shimin got up and went down the mountain unhurriedly, "I was the one who rested here first, you disturbed my dreams, and you are still shouting here." ”
"You ......" Ziyi couldn't tell him, and he was so angry that his eyebrows turned upside down.
Shimin walked up to her and stared at her face, getting closer and closer, "Has anyone ever told you that you are more beautiful when you are angry?" ”
"Hah!" Ziyi defended and attacked, and also approached him, and looked back without dodging, "Could it be that Second Prince Li is interested in me and wants to please me?" ”
Shimin wanted to scare her, but she didn't expect that she was not afraid, and a girl's family could say that a man was interested in her, it seemed that she was really not a Central Plains woman, "It's a pity that I never please others, or you teach me?" ”
Ziyi thought to herself, this is an opportunity, wouldn't it be a good thing if he could take me out for a walk, so she said, "It depends on whether you want to please a man or a woman." ”
"Oh? How about men? What about women? The people of the world smiled, and the wind was light.
"If it's a woman, it's naturally easy to take her shopping, and buy her what she likes; If it's a man, you have to worry about it, you can ask him to play mahjong, oh, mahjong is a kind of gambling thing we have there, and then, deliberately light more guns, lose some money to him, we are all so corrupt officials there. So it's easier to please women. Ziyi finished speaking, waiting for his reaction.
Shimin listened to her, and his heart suddenly brightened, he had been thinking about how to open Pei Lian's pass these days, and because of her unintentional words, he had an idea, and happily held Ziyi's shoulders, "Great, you really helped me a lot!" ”
Ziyi didn't expect him to react so violently, and she couldn't understand what he said, so she asked ignorantly, "What did I help you?" ”
Only then did Shimin come back to his senses from his excitement, let go of his hand, and put on that smiling expression again, "It's nothing, didn't it mean to please you?" How about taking you shopping? ”
"Really?" Ziyi's eyes widened.
"It's up to you whether you go or not." After Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
How is he always like this? Ziyi was angry, but the opportunity was not to be lost, so she hurriedly ran after him, "Go, go, why don't you go?" Li Ergongzi wants to please me, how can I not appreciate my face? ”
Shimin walked in front, feeling funny in his heart, it was obvious that she was bored and wanted to go out very much, but she said it nicely to give him face.
Shimin accompanied Ziyi shopping, and Li Jin led a horse to follow. Although the commercial streets of the Sui Dynasty were not as magnificent as the modern shopping malls and pedestrian streets, they were also very prosperous, with all kinds of supplies for clothing, food, housing and transportation. Ziyi is a visit to this silk and satin shop, and she is very happy to look at the jewelry store. But she didn't dare to say what she wanted to buy, after all, she belonged to the fence now, eating the Li family, wearing the Li family, and she couldn't tell Li Shimin's thoughts.
Just thinking about it, I only heard Shimin say, "What do you like?" I bought it for you? ”
"Really?" Ziyi's heart blossomed, she really wanted to come to something.
"Of course, didn't you see the men all over the street looking at me with envy?" Shimin smiled proudly, "I can walk with such a beauty, how can I not envy others?" How can you please a beauty without buying a gift? ”
"It depends on how beautiful I am, how much money does Li Ergongzi spend so that it is not a loss?" Ziyi's wonderful eyes turned strangely.
"With the girl's beauty, it's worth buying the whole street, but I don't know what the girl will use to return the gift?" Shimin looked at her with bad intentions.
Ziyi thought to herself, what? Me? I've seen a lot of you like me, don't think that if you give some gifts, let me promise each other, this rich boy is really the same in ancient and modern times!
"A return gift?" Ziyi meditated, "Then give you another chance, and accompany me to go shopping next time." ”
Shimin raised his eyebrows and hooked the corners of his lips, "I am willing to accompany you!" "This girl is really different, not shy, and hearty, much more interesting than those pretentious ladies.
Ziyi looked around, and didn't want to choose something too valuable, and suddenly saw a silver hairpin with butterflies flying together, and felt very cute, "I want this." ”
"Okay." Shimin said cheerfully.
"And this." Ziyi picked up the splendid silver hairpin next to him again, "This is for Zixuan." ”
"Sisterhood is deep, and it is self-fulfilling." Shimin replied with a smile.
Then came Li Jin's work, inspecting the goods, paying, and packing......
Ziyi jumped back to the wing room and pushed open the door, "Zixuan, don't embroider the upper, do you think this looks good?" ”
Zixuan raised his eyes and looked at the two silver hairpins in his sister's hand, "It's beautiful, where did it come from?" ”
"Li Shimin sent it!" Ziyi said proudly, and stuck the branch for Zixuan on her head, "This one is yours, and this one is mine." ”
"Why did he suddenly remember to deliver something?" Zixuan touched the silver hairpin on his head.
"If he wants to please a beautiful woman, give him a chance." Ziyi smiled and put her own branch in her hair, "He took me shopping and said to buy me a gift, of course, I won't forget you, so I asked him to buy one for you." ”
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door, Ziyi opened the door, and the sisters were startled.
I saw Chunhua and Qiushi bring a group of little maids to bring in a lot of things, including rouge gouache, jade bracelets, silk, and incense......
"What's going on?" Ziyi asked in surprise.
Qiu Shi said: "Miss, these are the things that Li Jin just sent, and they are all things that Miss has seen on the street today." The second son instructed him to buy whatever the young lady had seen. We were ordered by the second son to send these things to the young lady. ”
"What? He bought everything I saw casually? Is he sick? Ziyi's eyes widened, "I didn't return the gift to him." ”
"Sister!" Zixuan saw her saying that Li Shimin was sick in front of the maid, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve to remind her.
Qiu Shi replied respectfully: "The second son said that he didn't need the girl to return the gift, saying that the girl had helped him a lot today, and it was right to send these things." ”
"Then I don't need so many things?" Ziyi argues with reason.
Qiu Shi replied with a smile: "The second son said that the girl can send Miss Zixuan if she can't use it up, and you can also reward the next person." ”
Ziyi gritted his teeth and said, "He is thoughtful, then I will reward you with all this." ”
Qiu Shi finally panicked and hurriedly knelt down, "Qiu Shi doesn't dare, Qiu Shi doesn't serve the girl well, how dare he be so rewarded by the girl." ”
