Chapter 93: Sir is terrible
Wu Yuzhou and Chen Yi have imagined such a scene many times.
What kind of reaction will this child, who has been cared for by Li Guogong and Li Meng since he was a child, react when he suddenly receives this letter from his father.
Maybe there will be laughter, maybe there will be great sadness, maybe there will be mixed joys and sorrows.
And Li Mao was indeed crying.
They didn't know the contents of the letter, but they had imagined how they would have felt if they had received a letter from their dead father years earlier.
So when Li Mao couldn't hide the emotions in his heart and couldn't hold back his tears, they could only turn their faces to the wall slightly, leaving time for the father and son who were talking about life and death.
Li Mao wiped away his tears with his cuffs, and if the tears fell on the letter, it would only stain the letter.
He then looked down.
"Wu Yuzhou and Chen Yi are friends with me, and they have no family, so they can be trusted. I have arranged for your brother's former aides to go to their places, whether they are officials or businessmen, and they have their own futures. If you are nameless from now on, the future of these people is the way I have given them; If you want to forge ahead, they will be your help. If you want to use them, you can ask Mr. Wu and Mr. Chen to contact you for you. If they don't want to help you, don't force them. You have Wu and Chen, and you are better than many of your staff. ”
"The eldest grandson Li Rui's Lu family, which he married since he was a child, is a big family in Wuzhong, since Lu Yuanhao replaced your brother and became the new head of the Hanlin Academy, His Majesty has always suspected him and refused to reuse it, I am afraid that he will die in the Hanlin Academy. But this person loves talents, does not stick to the family, does not like to cling to the powerful, and does not like vulgar things, he is an interesting person. However, you and him are not all the way, (he is afraid that he will not look down on you) you don't have to think about befriending him, just go with the flow. There are many Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, which are prepared by His Majesty for the new emperor, you can make friends, these people always have to be appointed as officials, you don't need to be taboo. ”
"Your sister-in-law Zhang Jing is the person of the former emperor. After I surrendered my military power, His Majesty confessed to me. In the past, our military power was excessive, and I can understand his thoughts. I know this, and your brother also knows it, and we have no intention of fighting for power, so naturally we don't have to worry about being discovered. I only sigh that the love of the year was polished clean in these little things. ”
"It's just that your sister-in-law committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and things are getting weirder and weirder, I'm afraid there is something hidden in it. Zhang's house is not credible, don't be too deep. I no longer have the strength to study these things in detail, and now my mind is clear and confused for a while, and this matter will simply be left to future generations. If Li Rui can become a talent, you can tell him all this and let him explore this matter by himself; If he can't become a talent, you can wait for him to come of age and ask for a reward for him to move to another house. ”
"I suppressed the rebellion of the King of Qiyang in the past, and the King of Qiyang had a young son, who was desperately rescued by the old department of the King of Qiyang, and I was afraid that he would leave a curse and wait for the opportunity to take revenge; The clans are too powerful and collude with each other, which may also cause disasters in the future. But the way the people do things is in balance, and if you suppress them, they will be more united. The troubles of the world can be quelled by the hands of the world, and you must remember. ”
"If you are short of money, just like when you were a child, ask your mother for it. I left behind a lot of gold and silver treasures, all in your mother's private treasury (remember not to spend them all). I have placed a lot of sacrificial fields in my hometown, if you really can't turn the tide, you might as well let your children and grandchildren go back to their hometown in Jingnan, and they can live with good fields. ”
"In the end, Lao Tzu died, and your brother also died, leaving you alone. Whether my old Li family's branch can blossom or bear fruit depends on you alone. If you want to do something dangerous, you have to leave a lot of sons before you go, if you let me cut off my children and grandchildren, I will not be finished with you underground! Father Li Shuo is a masterpiece. ”
After reading the letter, Li Mao cried and laughed, almost speechless.
He had done several dangerous things, his son had not left a few, and his wife and the child in her womb had almost died. The nephew was almost a waste by himself, and his mother was hit by the nephew he raised, first unconscious, and then almost died of hunger strike.
He stumbled along the way, and except for luck, he couldn't see anything like his father or brother.
He carefully put away the letter, put it away closely, and bowed down to the two gentlemen:
"Father's letter, I've seen. In the future, I will trouble the two gentlemen to teach me a lot. ”
Everything he said was from the bottom of his heart, and he was so short of people.
"Don't dare, grandpa Guo is doing a good job, grandpa Guo is tepid like this, in fact, it is the best way. We are deeply gracious to the old man, and we are very happy that you have achieved such an achievement. Wu Yuzhou didn't dare to accept the courtesy, avoided it slightly, and said: "After I left the Xinguo Mansion that year, I bought a green building in Pingkangli, named Yunmengge. If Grandpa Guo wants to find me, you can send someone there. ”
Li Mao was slightly stunned.
Qinglou?
Chen Yi saw Li Mao's face change slightly, and shook his head with a smile: "Lao Guogong originally wanted him to open a restaurant in the capital, but Wu Lao'er thought that the Qinglou Chu Pavilion was the fastest to pass on the news, and he was lustful, so he bought a Qinglou and managed it carefully. It's just that not long after Li Laoguo Gong went, the emperor also went, and it was forbidden to drink alcohol and have fun during the state funeral, and the days in Pingkangli were very depressed, and his Yunmeng Pavilion was a first-class brothel, all relying on the official eunuchs and rich businessmen to make a living, and this time, he couldn't be beaten......"
"No, I'm not, I'm beautiful. This is a huge difference......" Wu Yuzhou explained solemnly, "And since I opened the Qinglou, since it is to cultivate usable people, I can not let them accept customers, so I am naturally more loyal, you don't understand the subtleties of this......"
"Poof!" Chen Yi laughed wildly, "This kind of mystery, I still don't want to know the Tao." ”
"Of course you don't know the way, and you don't like women!"
"Two gentlemen, it's still so witty......" Li Mao saw that the two former guest secretaries were talking again, and couldn't help but have the urge to wipe the cold sweat.
Open...... Open a green building?
Yunmengge is the largest brothel in Pingkangli, and many girls do not sell their bodies, the head of the house is obviously a woman called "Liuyun", although he has not been to Pingkangli, but he has also heard of her fame, when did it become Mr. Wu's opening?
"Gossip. After I left the Xinguo Mansion, I opened a academy to teach the children of the poor family. You should know about this. Chen Yi put away his smile and said calmly.
Li Mao nodded. Chen Yi's "Xingzhi Academy" is very famous in the capital, Chen Yi knows many people, he opened the academy, and the gentlemen who give lectures are ready-made, and he has also helped many students.
Because Chen Yi came out of his mansion, he has been paying attention to the "Xingzhi Academy" and expects him to get better and better.
"It's great to be able to go to the door of the public mansion so quickly." Chen Yi straightened his face and said solemnly: "The number of people in my academy is increasing, and I am about to make ends meet. The investment I received from the old man back then has now been used. Grandpa Guo, I came this time in the hope that the house could help one or two, otherwise my academy is afraid that it will not be far from closing......"
Want...... Want money?
How did my father and brother get along with them back then? Why did he feel like he was going to be sold?
It is said that Li Mao and the two old guests were having a "pleasant" conversation in the front yard, and Gu Qing, who had just gotten up, was also informed, saying that the Tana girl in the side courtyard had something to see.
Gu Qing slept very late last night, and suddenly thought about whether the Fang family would be beaten by Li Mao, and suddenly thought about whether Li Rui could rest well after being away from home for so many days; I was still thinking about whether to call Li Xiaodao to the Splendid Courtyard and let him be the conciliator of the couple......
Although she is not their biological mother and grandmother, she is really not less worried.
She slept late and woke up late, but Tana and the other prairie women got up very early, and stayed up until three o'clock in the morning, when Gu Qing got up, and they came to ask to see her.
As soon as Gu Qing heard that the beautiful woman in the early morning was going to see her, she suddenly felt that half of the troubles she had suppressed in her heart had disappeared, and she hurriedly ordered with a smile: "Meet, quickly call Miss Tana in!" ”
Tana, who had bright eyes and bright teeth, came in prettyly and first gave Gu Qing a salute with her hand on her chest. Gu Qing was happy in her heart, and she couldn't wait to give her one back.
"Mrs. Tai, we were in a hurry yesterday, we didn't sort out our luggage, and today we are here to send you a worship gift." Tana clapped her hands, and a few precarious girls came in at the door with a few things.
Gu Qing also turned around and instructed Mama Hua to bring the meeting gift she had found last night.
"We live in the grassland, there are no good things, don't dislike Mrs. Tai."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it......" Even if she practiced "empty-handed", she didn't dislike it, not to mention that someone gave her gifts.
It's not a gift for Mrs. Qiu, it's a gift for her! Give her the gift of teaching the craft!
How could she not be happy?
"This is a kind of food on our grassland, I think Mrs. Tai should not have eaten it, so I brought some." Tana picked up the box and handed it to Gu Qing on her knees.
"It's ...... Cheese? "It should be dried cheese, right? Gu Qing stretched out his hand to take it and put a piece in his mouth.
The taste is a little different, but it's probably cheese or something.
Tana saw that Gu Qing didn't dislike it at all, and even took a piece and ate it directly, she was very happy in her heart, and she fell in love with this old lady at once.
She is different from Li Rui, she is a very straightforward person!
Tana nodded, "We call it jerky." ”
She pulled out another belt from behind her.
"This is what we knitted for you before we set off, and I hope you can live a long and healthy life......"
Gu Qing took it with a smile.
Although she doesn't have any clothes to match it, she is familiar with these little girls, and she asks them for a piece of clothing to wear, and occasionally COS, which is quite interesting, isn't it?
"And this ......," Tana said, pulling out a small wine cup. This is our family's treasure, the glow-in-the-dark cup. ”
As soon as Tana said this, everyone looked at the cup.
'Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge ...... immediately' Gu Qing muttered in his heart, curiously took the legendary "luminous cup" and took a closer look.
Oh, it turned out to be fluorite.
This thing is said to have radiation, so it's better not to put it in the house, it's better to put it away.
Gu Qing took the cup, handed it to Xiangyun in the back, and asked her to put it in the warehouse. took the jewelry box in Mama Hua's hand again, called all the little girls over, and distributed gifts one by one.
She actually likes to give gifts to people, and when she is in the hospital, she often buys small things for children.
But since she was housekeeper, she has been ordered by Mama Hua to control the problem of too loose hands, and even the girls look at Mama Hua now, sometimes with some resentment in their eyes.
But the guests are different, and there is no such scruple in sending things to the guests, especially those who come from afar.
These are all things she picked out with Mama Hua last night. The girls on the grassland don't wear hairpins, and the headdresses can be ignored, and most of the things found are bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, and so on.
The girls who received the things were very happy, and thanked Gu Qing with a smile, the person who gave the gift was happy, and the person who received the gift was also happy, which was really a good thing.
"Mrs. Tai, we are here, in addition to giving gifts, there are other reasons." Tana said generously: "I came in a hurry yesterday, I haven't been in the capital, and my father and they still live in other places, I want to go and see them......"
"I want to ask your mansion to find me a guide, after all, we are the Karma people......"
As soon as Gu Qing heard that it was this request, it would be even more fine.
It's not normal for people to come from all over the world and want to visit the capital!
But who will accompany them? Li Ming and Li Rui definitely didn't sleep well last night, and the two children couldn't finish talking as soon as they got together, if they just let their subordinates accompany them, it would be too lazy.
By the way, how did she forget to have another one!
Just find a way to cure his illness!
"Qi Yun, go to the West Garden and ask Jun'er to come over!"
Burst!
I don't know who laughed first, and then Mama Hua couldn't help laughing.
"Mrs. Tai, I'm afraid that Young Master Tang is not very familiar with the capital, you let Young Master Tang take a group of girls to go shopping, don't lose all ...... together"
"Also, I forgot about this." Gu Qing patted his head, "Then send a few more family members who are familiar with the capital to accompany you." Xiangyun, open my box with those silver horns and copper coins, and put them in purses and handkerchiefs. ”
She turned her head and said to the little girls:
"You can go to the East and West Markets, and if you like something, you can buy it with these. However, our merchants here are more cunning, and seeing that you are outsiders, I am afraid that you will ask for the price indiscriminately. "Slaughtering customers, there are ancient and modern Chinese and foreign." I asked the people in my family to bring this money, and what do you like, ask them to bargain and buy it for you. ”
Tana grinned when she saw that there was still such a good thing. Tana took a few steps forward and kissed Gu Qing's face in everyone's surprised eyes.
"Thank you, generous old lady."
Gu Qing only felt that the warm fragrant nephrite was full of arms, and she was kissed on her face, and she was about to faint with happiness.
"No thanks, no thanks......"
Woo woo woo, none of her two grandchildren have kissed her, she has finally been kissed in ancient times, so satisfied!
Li Jun is going to have a spring festival next month, and during this time he is studying in the house every day, and suddenly heard that his grandmother is calling, so he hurriedly put down his books and rushed to Zhiyun Courtyard.
Gu Qing called him to go, but he was actually afraid that he would push himself too hard.
Li Jun rarely went out to walk around because he lived in the Xinguo Mansion, and the people who came and went were all students he knew during the disaster relief.
When Li Jun arrived at Zhiyun Courtyard, he was completely dumbfounded.
The room was full of more than a dozen girls of different races, and the "hard" woman at the head nodded lightly to him.
He stiffened and nodded, and a premonition that "something bad was wrong" rose in his heart.
Sure enough, Gu Qing looked at Li Jun and said with a strange smile:
"These girls have just arrived in the capital, they want to go out and have a look, Li Rui has just returned home, and he has to rest, Li Ming wants to talk to his father, the old man is a woman, I can only ask you......"
I can only ask you......
Please......
You're ......
It was a bolt from the blue!
Li Jun was in a trance, and he couldn't come back to his senses in shock.
"But the cousin's hidden illness ......"
"It's okay, although they are prairie women, they won't do anything to you. You are a good guide. ”
"But my cousin is not even familiar with the path of the capital......"
"Family will follow you. You've been to the East and West Cities a few times, so you're more familiar with them than they are. ”
"But ......"
"Old lady, if this young master can't accompany us, we'll follow the people in the mansion to hang out." Tana said embarrassedly. She didn't know that the population of this family was so small.
Gu Qing looked at Li Jun earnestly.
He could only nod sadly.
"Grandmother Cousin has a life, and she doesn't dare to disobey."
Oh, my God! Let's hope he comes back alive!
At this time, Li Jun took a group of girls out of the house, Li Mao had been talking to the two gentlemen, Li Ming was accompanying his mother in the room, but Li Rui was called by Du Jin and Qi Yao from Weishuang Hall.
Mr. Minghui was in Beijing for the twentieth time of the first month, and when he came, Li Rui and Du Jin had already set off for Tongzhou.
Yesterday, Du Jin came back and talked in detail about all kinds of thrilling experiences along the way, and I heard Mr. Minghui cry out again and again, and I couldn't wait to go with him.
What weirdos these are!
"I've heard about your experience. When the two of us left the house, there were many twists and turns. It seems that we still don't want to go home during the New Year's Festival in the future. Qi Yao said with concern: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend." I think these people suddenly attacked when the house was empty. ”
Li Rui nodded.
"It's just that you met an assassin on the road, but what do you have to do?"
"I don't know what to do." Li Rui thought about it for a moment. "The means of coming to the people are very neat, and they are very ruthless to others and themselves, and they are obviously dead soldiers who are specially raised. I have never had such a serious grudge, and I am afraid that people who come here are for the name of our house. ”
Qi Yao thought about it and shook his head, but he couldn't think of a clue.
The matter of witch Gu is related to the reputation of the Xinguo Mansion, Li Rui and Gu Qing have very tight mouths, and they have not revealed a single point to the two gentlemen, although the two gentlemen are talented, they are still outsiders after all.
As Li Rui and Li Ming grew up and experienced more things, they no longer looked at everything as simple as they used to be.
This is exactly the change that Gu Qing doesn't want to see and has to see.
"Your uncle's business, you handled it very well." Qi Yao praised: "If you can be in danger and take charge alone, you are already a person who can take on heavy responsibilities, from tomorrow, your class will be added for another hour......"
"No, sir, I've only been back for a few days!" Li Rui wailed.
"You've already had a vacation, have you done your homework this month since we returned to your hometown?"
"Do ......" is over, first disaster relief, then look at the lights, and then run away from home, work, homework, it's ......
"It's not done!" Li Rui said with a white face and a sad face, "But I have seen so many things during this time......
Qi Yao sneered, took out the ring ruler with a "whoosh", grabbed Li Rui's hand, raised the ring ruler and hit it.
"This third lesson teaches that no matter what you do, don't put it off until the last moment!"
Syllable!
Help me!
On the Avenue of the Capital City, Li Jun, who was frowning sadly all the way, and went out with the girls of the Qiang people, felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.
Although he is not from a wealthy family, he is provided by the Guogong Mansion from top to bottom, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a son-in-law, and he has so many family members before and after, but he carries things behind a group of Hu girls......
He has been pointed at by many people.
And these girls are interested in everything, from the big tables and chairs to the small rouge gouache, if he doesn't keep stopping it, I'm afraid I don't know how much money it will cost.
Although his grandmother was generous, she was not wronged! What are you going to do when you buy four or five strips? It's better to take any one in the house than this!
As a result, he kept preventing them from shopping, which caused the girls to roll their eyes. Passers-by saw that these girls were not very enthusiastic about him, and looked at him like the kind of wild bees and butterflies that entangled women, it was really whimpering!
He is entangled, and he will not look for these......
These......
"Li Gongzi, counteroffer!" Tana gestured to the small clay figurine in front of her. "I want this ......"
He's not making a bargain! He just casually said that the thing was too expensive, and as a result, they were treated as a bargaining person!
He...... He still has to participate in the imperial examination, how can he do such a sweeping and calculating thing!
Tana saw that Li Jun was going to hide, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab him, so frightened that Li Jun hurriedly raised her hand.
"Don't scratch, don't catch, I'll be there, I'll be there! Don't touch me! ”
He pointed at Tana in a panic, "You just stand there!" ”
The owner of the clay figure stall looked at Li Jun inexplicably, then at the bearded girls, and shook his head.
Is this a woman chasing a man, or a man chasing a woman?
How does it look like a dominatrix 1 abuse...... Uh, not pretty scholars!
Well, good theme! Tomorrow, you can make a group of clay figurines with this, and it will definitely be easy to sell!
It's just that scholar, how to be handsome.
Li Jun accompanied Tana and them all the way for a long time, and felt that half of his life had been removed, and finally sent them to the "Hong Hotel" where the foreign envoy lived, and felt that he had finally completed the task, and when Tana met his relatives, he could go home.
Tana and the soldier at the door reported her father's name, and the man nodded and went back to report.
"Thank you very much, Master Li." Tana said to Li Jun with a smile. "You're a good guy. Master Li is a good person, Mr. Li is a good person, the old lady is a good person, and your family is a good person. ”
Li Jun laughed at what she said about a circle of good people, and said warmly:
"Well, the girl is a good person, too."
"The Han man." A cold drink suddenly came from the door of the Hong Hotel.
Li Jun turned his head and pointed at himself.
"You call me?"
This young man is obviously also a Han man, why do you call him "that Han man"?
"Hmm. I'm calling you. Loomer walked out of the doorway. Walked straight up to him.
"I'm going to fight you."
What? Gladiatorial fights?
Li Jun looked at Lu Mo dumbfounded.
Where did this madman come from!
The author has something to say: Lu Mo was aroused by the sons of the capital to Sensen's sense of crisis.
The "group brushing book" and "fireside night chat" that everyone likes to see will only be available tomorrow. These chapters are too dull, so I'm adjusting the pace and making it easier for everyone.
There is no small theater, but there are many "you know" in this chapter, find it yourself, hahahaha.
