The carriage stopped outside the Four Seasons Garden, and Zhang Xiang took Li Yan out of the carriage.

Li Yanzhi This is the first time to come here, the reputation of the Four Seasons Garden in Pingzhou City is not small, after all, Yang Li, as the young leader of the Pingzhou scholars, threw money to buy this former Chu famous minister's villa is a sensational thing, and it is also envied among the scholars, who does not want to have such a good place to enjoy the moon and flowers, and cultivate (xìng).

Only a famous family like Yang Li is so heroic.

Seeing the Four Seasons Garden in front of him, Li Yanzhi was almost stunned for a moment, he never dreamed that he would be able to come to such a good place, let alone live in this kind of place, this kind of garden is the most coveted by scholars, away from the hustle and bustle, not to stir up dust, just like the reader's (xìng) (qíng).

"Do you really want this to be the station of the Ming Society?"

As Zhang Xiang walked in all the way, Li Yanzhi asked again with confirmation.

Zhang Xiang said: "Do you think I'm joking with you?" ”

"No, I just think it's a bit wasteful?"

"Isn't it just a garden! It didn't cost me any money, so what's there to waste? If you don't use this place, can you keep it as an ornament? That's waste. ”

Zhang Xiang smiled: "In other words, the Ming Society is very important to me, compared with this garden, less than one thousandth, what the Ming Society needs is a secret, quiet, and safe place, in this Pingzhou, only this garden is the most suitable, and you will slowly understand it in the future." ”

Li Yanzhi didn't say anything more, nodded and arched his hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely help the horse run the Ming Society." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the dark room of this garden, and before I leave, I'll give you the drawings of this garden, and I've already redone this drawing, marking what each dark room is used for, and if it's not marked, don't move, after I leave, you can implement it according to the structure I marked." In addition, don't move the West Garden, it will be of great use to me in the future, and you can use the East Garden and the Four Seasons Garden by yourself..."

……

On the afternoon of April 19, Zhang Xiang was invited by the prince to meet him at the Caoyun Wharf.

Zhao Zhe told him that the plan for the transportation of military rations had been decided, but due to the tight war in the north, the envoy of Wen Shu had urged the supply of military rations to the imperial court, and the transfer of military rations was controlled by Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang's documents had come to Zhao Zhe yesterday.

Therefore, after not (rì), the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River will begin to be loaded on ships for escort, and then he will not have time to go to the Horse Mansion, this time he invited Zhang Xiang to come out, as if he was to say goodbye to him, and said that after returning to Bianjing, he would report his (qíng) situation to the emperor.

Zhao Zhe's words made Zhang Xiang both worried and a little happy.

What worries me is the demand for military rations, because according to the original plan of the imperial court, this batch of military rations from Jiangnan will not be escorted until at least around May, and the documents will come down now, which is more than ten days earlier than expected.

Of course, it may also be a transfer made by Liu Xiang just in case.

What makes him glad is that since this Zhao Zhe has no time to go to the Horse Mansion, then he can rest assured when he leaves, and he doesn't want this prince to know about his departure from Pingzhou. Because after the prince found out, he would tell the emperor about these things (qíng) when he returned to Bianjing, and he didn't want his whereabouts to be known by the emperor, after all, the emperor wouldn't let him leave Pingzhou, and if he left, the emperor would know about it, and feel that his disobedience was also a troublesome thing (qíng).

At this time, after so many passages in the Qinhuai River, the water level had already dropped, and the soldiers were untying the chains that locked the boats, and the officers and soldiers patrolling around the granary with spears.

After Zhao Zhe talked to him for a while, he saw that Fang Tai, the transfer envoy, was coming, and he asked Zhang Xiang to wait for a while, and then went to Fang Tai.

The escort officer Pang Bo was directing his soldiers to be busy, Zhang Xiang came to him and said with a smile: "General Pang, why has this granary added so many guards?" ”

Pang Bohui (shēn) arched his hand to him, and then showed a little helplessness: "Hey, I don't know, some of the previous (rì) sons, many beggars in Pingzhou City have tried to steal grain, and the last general has already arrested several batches, in order to prevent the safety of this granary, this has doubled the number of soldiers and horses." ”

"Beggars?" Zhang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a lot (rì) before, when he came back from the Laolong River, when he passed by the opposite bank, he saw the beggars caught by Feng Zheng under Pang Bo.

Pang Bo nodded: "These beggars are really bold, they dare to steal the military food of the imperial court, if they don't find it in time, they may succeed." ”

Zhang Xiang asked, "Is General Pang saying that several batches of such beggars have been arrested?" ”

"That's right! It was all caught by Feng Zheng. Pombo replied.

"How can these beggars have the audacity to steal these rations?" Zhang Xiang was puzzled in his heart: "It's understandable to steal once, but there are beggars to steal one after another, isn't it too strange?" ”

Pang Bo said: "The last general also thinks so, so he also went to Lord Fang, but Lord Fang said that this granary is placed here, it is a golden mountain for beggars, and it is understandable that they want to come here to steal, Lord Fang just asked the last general to send some more people to guard, no, this is why so many guards have been added." ”

"And what about these beggars?" Zhang Xiang couldn't figure it out. I didn't think about it anymore.

Pang Bo said: "All of them were thrown into the government prison and let Lord Zheng deal with it." ”

Zhang Xiang sighed, and at this time he also saw Zhao Zhe walking over with Fang Tai, Fang Tai (shēn), and Kong Fu followed.

Zhang Xiang also said goodbye to Pang Bo and walked back.

Zhao Zhe also specially introduced Kong Fu to him, saying that Kong Fu has made a lot of efforts in this Cao Yun plan and solved many problems of river blockage and rapid water flow.

Zhang Xiang looked at Kong Fu and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, we met again, I didn't expect Mr. Kong to be in Lord Fang's mansion." ”

"I've seen a colt." The Kong Fu hurriedly bent (shēn), but did not want to say a word.

Zhang Xiang originally wanted to look at his eyes, but this Kong Fu didn't know whether it was intentional or intentional, so he didn't give him the slightest chance to observe, and stood calmly aside after saying hello.

Zhang Xiang thought of the news that Chen Qi had reported to him three days ago.

Seeing Kong Fu, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart, he had tried to connect everything in the past two days, from the departure of Mrs. Kang, to Kang Yu, Tong Jingchu, Xia Dinghe, Kong Fu, and Jiang Niang's frequent meetings, so he also specially went to see this Jiang Niang, but she was just an ordinary widow, and her life was her duty, and there was nothing strange about it.

There is also Feng Zheng under Pang Bo, and now he has added beggars.

Go back to a long time ago, Wei Lie's dealings with Mrs. Kang.

But there is nothing to do with it.

Because he didn't know what the relationship between Wei Lie and Mrs. Kang was.

Therefore, naturally he couldn't think of what Kang Yu was going to do.

In the end, he still thought, maybe he thought too much, and there was nothing to do at all.

Zhang Xiang didn't stay on the dock for too long, and this time he came at the invitation of the prince, and after listening to the prince's words, he left.

On the way back, Zhang Xiang saw Yang Lin, the head catcher of the government office, with a team of officials, escorting two people who looked like Dongyan merchants to come head-on, beating and scolding, and the people on both sides of the street also shouted and scolded, and some people even wanted to come over to do it, but they were stopped by the officials.

Zhang Xiang felt strange in his heart, asked the coachman to park the carriage aside, and then lifted the curtain and waited for Yang Lin to arrive.

When Yang Lin saw him, he also quickened his pace and walked over.

"The little one is a colt." Yang Lin saluted him.

Zhang Xiang pointed to the pair of Dongyan merchants who were guarded by officials, and said strangely: "Yang Zhutou, what are you doing arresting these two Dongyan merchants?" ”

Yang Lin was a little strange at first, then glanced at it (shēn), as if he understood something, and said with a smile: "The horses said that they are Dongyan merchants? ”

"Isn't it?" Zhang Xiang was curious.

Yang Lin shook his head: "I don't know, these two are not Dongyan merchants, but Northern Liao people. ”

"Northern Liao?"

"Well..."Yang Lin said: "Although they are dressed as Dongyan merchants, they can speak Khitan dialect, just now they were drinking in the restaurant, molested a woman from a good family, and injured the woman's old father. The reason why they are dressed up as Dongyan merchants is because now Southern Chu and Northern Liao are like fire and water, so these merchants from Northern Liao came to my Southern Chu, naturally they didn't dare to dress up as Northern Liao people, Northern Liao people and Dongyan people look similar, it is actually difficult to distinguish when they change their clothes, and ordinary people can't tell if they don't know, but once they open their mouths, they know where they are from, and when they were arrested just now, they all spoke fluent Khitan dialect, which can be sure that they are Northern Liao people. ”

"Oh!" Zhang Xiang was stunned.

At this time, the team of officials also escorted the two people to walk aside, the two people looked up at Zhang Xiang and Yang Lin, their faces were angry, and they said something that Zhang Xiang didn't understand, Yang Lin's face changed after listening, and then said to those officials: "Put them in prison, beat them first, and starve them for three days." ”

"Do you understand Khitan dialect?" Zhang Xiang glanced at Yang Lin in surprise.

Yang Lin smiled: "The little one has an uncle who is from Hedong and is also a businessman, who will go to Beiliao to do business all the year round, and is very proficient in Khitan language. ”

As he spoke, Yang Lin pointed to the two merchants: "Just now they said that they are Dongyan people, not Northern Liao people, we Nanchu actually dare to arrest businessmen like them, they Dongyan will definitely not give up, and let them go if we are interested, otherwise the Dongyan army will sooner or later invade Nanchu and slaughter the people of my Nanchu." 驸马, you say that they are also (tǐng) interesting, in fluent Khitan dialect they are Dongyan people. ”

"This is called not self-confession, if you want to pretend to be a Dongyan person, you can't even speak Xianbei language." Zhang Xiang also laughed: "Since you are from Northern Liao, don't put it back." ”

"This is natural, now that my Southern Chu and Northern Liao are fighting in Liangzhou, the Northern Liao people who come to my Southern Chu are all treated as (jiān)." Yang Lin understood what Zhang Xiang meant and nodded.

"Then it's hard to catch the head, farewell!"

Back at the Horse Mansion, there was a commotion in the house, and Zhao Hanyan had already asked his subordinates to prepare dinner.

Ming (rì) Zhang Xiang was about to take the little slave out of Pingzhou and go to Yingzhou, so Zhao Hanyan specially prepared a feast to see off the little slave, and Zhang Xiang came back at the right time, just in time to join the dinner.

After dinner, Zhao Hanyan carefully checked Zhang Xiang's many necessary luggage for travel, and also told him which clothes to wear and when not to wear, saying that he grew up in Bianjing since he was a child, and lived in Pingzhou after getting married.

In this regard, Zhang Xiang could only keep nodding, for him, he knew the climatic conditions over there better than Zhao Hanyan.

That night, the two couples lingered until late.

In the quiet room, from time to time there were the voices of two couples grinding their temples:

"Ming Heng, when will you be able to come back from this trip to Yingzhou?"

"Well, it should take two months at least, and three months at most, after all, after so many years, whether the graves of the little slave's parents can be found, in fact, it is difficult to say, she was only ten years old at the time, and she was probably frightened when she fled the famine, although she told me that she remembered the approximate location, but I know that she herself is not very sure. But even if I can't find it in the end, I will accompany her back to Yingzhou and set up a mound for her parents, as long as she completes her filial piety, there will be no worries in the future, if this matter has been pressed in her heart, she will have this regret in her life. ”

"Alas, this little slave is really miserable."

"It's her greatest luck to meet you."

"Ming Heng is her luck, if there is no Ming Heng, it is estimated that Gao Ping will not know that there is such a thing in her heart in her life."

"She should always get married, and when she gets married and leaves you, she will take her husband to do it herself."

"Ming Heng, do you know what the little slave told me?"

"Say what?"

"She said that she will never marry in her life, so she will serve by the side of you and me (shēn), if I have to find a good husband for her, I must also find someone like Ming Heng, otherwise, she would rather die than marry."

"This 丫头 (xìng) Zi is also (tǐng) strong, and it can really be said and done."

"yes, she's been with me for so many years, can I not know her? I'm also worried that if this girl is serious, it will be a real headache (tǐng). ”

"Oh, what do you want to do so much, the little slave is only sixteen years old, and he is still young! It's still early to get married. ”

"Not young, sixteen, already of marriageable age."

"Didn't the princess marry me at the age of nineteen last year, and she is only twenty this year."

"That's because Gao Ping has had a marriage contract with Ming Heng since he was a child, otherwise a royal princess like me would have been promised marriage by her father a long time ago, and Princess Yongchang was promised to marry at the age of seventeen, earlier than me!"

"That little slave is not like your princess, she is just a maid, she can choose who she likes, if she doesn't want to, we can't (bī) marry her!"

"yes!"

"So, let's just let it be and let her see for herself!"

"Ming Heng, I still have something to tell you! I want to send this girl Ziying to the side of the mother concubine (shēn) and accompany the mother concubine. ”

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?"

"The mother concubine is alone in the palace, Ziying, this girl is very well-behaved, sensible, and very capable of doing things, she went to the side of the mother concubine (shēn), she will definitely make the mother concubine happier."

"But she's just an ordinary girl, there are so many rules in the palace, can she adapt to it?"

"I can teach her, anyway, I won't have anything to do in the future, she's a smart child, and her (xìng) son is somewhat similar to me, I believe she will learn (tǐng) quickly."

"Then you can do it yourself! As long as you see fit, send her away! ”

“……”

In the morning, Zhang Xiang took the little slave into the carriage, Lin Feihong rode a tall horse to open the way in front, followed by a team of carefully selected guards, these guards were trained by Lin Feihong Some (rì) sons, now everyone's martial arts are a lot stronger, full of spirit, just walking on the street can be intimidating.

Zhao Hanyan stood in front of the door of the Horse Mansion surrounded by a group of maids, watching Zhang Xiang's carriage from afar, and then gently reached out and touched his lower abdomen, with a smile on his face.

She didn't tell Zhang Xiang, she just wanted her to leave with peace of mind, and when he came back, she would surprise him again...
