Chapter 533 Courageously move forward
Jiang Anyi put down Master Yu's letter, rubbing his fingers on his temples, feeling the heavy pressure on his body. It seems that the construction of "Xiangxue Residence" will have twists and turns, and even Master Yu doesn't understand his intentions, let alone others, the Son of Heaven has always been restrained, what will he think after learning about his actions? Will those imperial historians impeach themselves, they have offended many ministers, and will they take the opportunity to fall into the ground, Jiang Anyi felt a headache.
After resting for a while, Jiang Anyi picked up Tian Shoulou's letter, which introduced the situation in Beijing, after the Son of Heaven's northern expedition, the crown prince supervised the country and Chen Xiang assisted the government, and the government summed up in one sentence that the town is quiet, and stability is the mainstay, and there is little change in Beijing. In the letter, Tian Shoulou mentioned that the prince was praised by the ministers as "deeply aware of righteousness, knowledgeable and courteous, intelligent and studious, and sympathetic to the poor and weak", and the ministers believed that there was a style of benevolence and virtue. Tian Shoulou vaguely mentioned that the prince often went to the school field outside the city to shoot and hunt, learn Wen Taowu strategy, and often said that he would follow the Son of Heaven to pacify the Quartet.
Jiang Anyi is a straight bachelor of Chongwenguan, and he can be called half of the prince's teacher, but he does not have much contact with the prince, and he has the impression that the prince is intelligent, but he is inattentive and fun-loving. The crown prince is already sixteen years old this year, and he is considered an adult at the age of sixteen in Zheng Guo, and he has been separated for four years, so I don't know what the prince is like now.
He was demoted out, he couldn't meet and communicate with the prince, and Zhou Cunchu and others were jealous of him, so he would inevitably gossip in the prince's ear. After coming to Huazhou, he was in charge of the affairs of a state, and he was really busy, and he didn't have time to write some customs and customs of Huazhou to send to the prince, I am afraid that the relationship between the prince and himself has become much weaker.
Putting Tian Shoulou's letter aside, Jiang Anyi sighed that it is rare to be a man and take care of everything, and it would be good to do his duty as a courtier for the prince, after all, the Son of Heaven is still there, and smart people are still taboo about the prince.
Most of the other letters were greetings and entertainment, talking about some thoughts after saying goodbye, scenery and people, Jiang Anyi didn't care, and read them casually. The last letter was actually written by his friend Lin Yizhen, who told him that he had been transferred back to Beijing from Linwu County, Chenzhou at the beginning of the year, and served as a member of the Ministry of War (from Liupin). There are people in the court who are good officials, and Lin Yi's promotion is something that others can't achieve for more than ten years, Jiang Anyi applauded and was happy for Brother Lin. It's a pity that Yan'er is disobedient, Lin Yizhen has already married a wife and started a family, so she can only sigh and make people.
After packing up the letter, Jiang Anyi closed his eyes slightly to digest the news in the letter, and Mr. Zhang told him to experience the truth in the subtleties, and many useful things can actually be revealed in the seemingly ordinary words.
First of all, it is obvious that the household department lacks money. After two years of accumulation, 26 million taels of silver were accumulated in the treasury for the Northern Expedition, and money was needed everywhere to make equipment, requisition people, transfer grain and grass, build cantonments, reward soldiers, compensate for casualties, and so on. Anxi Duhufu can only take out 400,000 taels of silver, you can imagine how tight the hand of Yu Shi, the head of the household department, is.
The news about the Northern Expedition was sent through the imperial court's Di newspaper, and Jiang Anyi knew that the content of the Di newspaper had always been to report good news and not bad news, for the sake of the superior and the venerable, and it was just a matter of listening to the news of the hundreds of thousands of Hu Qi. The war was fought on grain and grass materials, and the treasury had no money, so this Northern Expedition was afraid that it would be difficult to sustain. I started the "Xiangxueju" plan at this time, no wonder Yu Shi will vigorously oppose it, and Yu Shi is also a painstaking worker.
Jiang Anyi leaned heavily on the back of the chair, stretched his legs and stretched his waist long, driving away the gloom in his heart, what is beneficial to Huazhou, even if it is misunderstood, he must do it, just wait for a few years to change Huazhou, I believe that the words of criticism will disappear naturally.
Although Lin Yizhen's letter did not mention official business, he mentioned in the letter that he had eaten and lived in the yamen of the military department during this period of time, and there were many troubles, and Ding Shangshu lost his temper many times, and as a newcomer, he speculated. Although Jiang Anyi rarely had contact with Ding Shangshu, he knew that this duke was upright, and his laughter was invisible, and even he had many attacks in the Yamen, so I am afraid that the war in the Northern Desert was not going well.
Then there is the prince, the prince is indispensable to the people who climb the dragon, Jiang Anyi faintly feels that too much praise is not a good thing for the prince, Tian Shoulou said that good riding and archery is good amusement in other words, and the safari is continuous during the prison period, why didn't Queen Wang and Chen Xiang stop it? Jiang Anyi sighed, Kyoto is too far away, and some things are not his turn to worry about.
Yahuan came to invite him to dinner, Dong'er arranged a table of good dishes, Guo Huaili tasted it and praised it again and again: "This is the taste made by my aunt, Anyi, you try this fried shallot, it is fragrant and crispy, and this fried meat with green onions, it is really fragrant." ”
Jiang Anyi took a piece of pork and chewed it in his mouth, it was really the taste of his mother's making, it was the taste of home. When the mother cut six pennies pork, fried it with green onions and put it on the table, the fragrance is still fresh in my memory, shallots, purslane, I took An Yong and Yan'er to dig everywhere, and a family of four relied on digging wild vegetables, half hungry and half full to survive. Now that I have the money to taste the delicious food all over the world, the family is scattered, my mother is in Pingshan Town, I am in Huiye Mansion, An Yong is in Hecheng County, and the most annoying is Yan'er, I don't know where she is. Alas, there are gains and losses, and some things can never be returned to the way they were.
Seeing her husband's sad look, Xin Fei hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Dong'er has learned all the skills of her mother, and she will have to teach me in the future, Jiang Lang's taste is getting more and more tricky now, and he is unwilling to do it, so it is becoming more and more difficult to serve." ”
Guo Huaili responded: "What my brother and sister said is that I haven't eaten Xiaojiang Lane's dishes for more than two months. ”
Jiang Anyi came to his senses and said with a smile: "It's easy to eat the dishes I make, but it's difficult to eat the taste of my mother, the dishes made by Dong'er are very similar to my mother, I almost thought that my mother made it herself, Brother Guo is a blessing." My mother is good at home, how much does she eat, and what do you do every day? ”
Dong'er was praised by everyone, and said shyly: "My mother often talks about what Jiang Lang, Uncle and Yan'er like to eat when she eats, and I learned from my mother." My mother's health is good, and I follow my aunt to the flower field every day, and sometimes I invite the opera troupe to listen to the play at home, and the relatives in the town often come to talk around. By the way, the lion cat lady in the Western Regions that Jiang Lang asked people to send likes it, wherever she goes, except for Zhi'er, she refuses to touch me more. ”
Knowing that Dong'er likes cats, Tong'er smiled and said: "There are a few cats sent by people from the Western Regions in my house, white, yellow, and colored, if my sister likes it, go to my place." ”
Dong'er glanced at Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi smiled: "What do you like, just open your mouth, don't wronged yourself." Dong'er nodded happily, and continued: "After Yan'er left, Mr. Zhang's family moved back to the old house, and Shi and Miss Zhen'er became relatives, and now everything in the family is Shi Yuan
Zhang Luo, Mr. Zhang is pointing behind his back. Mr. Zhang often chatted with his mother, and with his relief, his mother had already thought about Yan'er's affairs, let me bring you a letter, so that you can find a way to get her back, and you should recruit a son-in-law. ”
Jiang Anyi slapped the table hatefully and scolded: "It's cheaper for him (her)." ”
After saying this, my heart was much more relaxed, after all, it was my sister-in-law, no matter what was wrong, how could I not worry about it when I was wandering alone.
Turning his face to look at Xinfei, Jiang Anyi said: "Fei'er, you have a lot of friends, let them help inquire, you have to find that damn Nizi as soon as possible, so as to save your mother's memory." ”
Xin Fei nodded in response. Jiang Anyi felt that his taste was wide open, and he ate two more bowls of rice than usual before he stopped, and Dong'er saw that her husband liked the dishes she cooked, and her smiling face shone brightly.
Seeing off Guo Huaili's family, Jiang Anyi walked on the stone road in the garden with his hands behind his back. The moonlight shrouded the grass and trees of the garden, exuding a hazy beauty, giving people a feeling of unreality, like a dream. It took ten years from Xiucai in Pingshan Town to the assassin of Huiye Mansion, it was really like a dream, Jiang Anyi looked at the bright moon in the sky, and secretly thanked the demon master in his body, it was that lightning strike that changed everything, and it was the demon master who changed everything.
If there is no lightning strike, their fate is nothing more than two, the slightly better one is to be admitted to Xiucai to teach Meng Tong in the town, this age is almost also to ask for a mother-in-law, the best match is the round-faced Xiuling girl, An Yong farms, Yan'er marries a villager, and the family's life has improved; The other is to work as a farmer at home, not necessarily marry a mother-in-law, and serve as an old wife with An Yong, who is exploited by the government servants and the village masa, and lives with as hard life as most people.
No matter which one is not what Jiang Anyi wants, now he is high-spirited, proud, and has a bright future, not to mention the villagers, but most Zheng Guoren say that they are all envious, how difficult today's life is, the feeling of sharing flesh and blood at the dinner table is certainly sad, but Jiang Anyi knows that since he walked out of Pingshan Town, there is no turning back.
On the way forward, it seems to be infinite scenery, but in fact, he has offended many enemies and caused a lot of disasters, and there are not a few people who died directly or indirectly in his hands; The Jiang family has amassed an astonishing amount of wealth, which would have disappeared in the blink of an eye if it was not controlled by a powerful force. Jiang Anyi showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, even if he wanted to settle things, he was afraid that others would not be able to tolerate him, the boat was fast, and he could only move forward bravely.
Back in the study, Jiang Anyi wrote back, first explained his intention to build "Xiangxue Residence" to Master Yu, and congratulated Lin Yizhen on his promotion, invited him to come to Huazhou to play in time, and then asked Tian Shoulou to pay more attention to who was around the prince and inquire about the true situation of the Northern Expedition. When all the letters were replied, it was almost the beginning of the year, Jiang Anyi knew that Dong'er was waiting for him in the room, and the husband and wife had been separated for more than two years, and there were many things to communicate.
The window paper was red, and the room was silent, Jiang Anyi coughed lightly and pushed open the door. The red candle had a high fever, Dong'er was doing embroidery under the lamp, and when she heard the sound of pushing the door, Dong'er raised her face, and her delicate face under the candlelight was more delicate than a flower. Jiang Chenzhi was taken to the wing room by Yahuan Xiaozhu to sleep, and after the most day of playing, he was already asleep.
The figures on the window paper merge into one, and then the candlelight dims, and a subtle murmur starts, tonight belongs to Dong'er.
