Chapter 1588: The Old Garden
The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and many matters and details were discussed. Rebuilding the confidence of the people, rebuilding the order of the imperial court, reopening the market and trade, and so on, involve all aspects of the details, the replenishment of financial and material resources, and other aspects, which are complicated and very cumbersome. Fortunately, there are many people around Lin Jue who can do things now, otherwise Lin Jue is afraid that he will be driven crazy by these things.
When the sun set, the meeting ended, and the civil and military officials went to work according to the order, and Lin Jue also went out of the political hall to ride his horse back to his home.
The order on the streets has been ordered, and the personnel in charge of policing and cleaning up the streets have obviously made a lot of efforts, and the dirty scenes in the streets have been cleaned up, and at this moment many soldiers and civilians are still sweeping the streets and alleys to wash away the dirt and muddy water on the streets. Lin Jue was quite relieved that the people were able to take the initiative to help clean up the market, which showed that their wariness of the Luoyan Army was being removed, and their recognition and trust in the new court had begun to be restored. In this case, it is necessary to ensure the basic living needs of the people, and the people's recognition of the imperial court and the Luoyan army will soar rapidly. Fortunately, starting tonight, Yang Xiu will start distributing food supplies, and the situation should improve soon.
The number of people in the market has also increased, but the expressions of the people are still a little cowering, and some are shrinking their heads and looking timid. After all, after experiencing captivity and enslavement, and after a long period of being threatened and oppressed, many people have not yet recovered, and they seem a little dizzy.
The group rode along the royal street to the south, and some strange noises came from the depths of the silent streets. Lin Jue stood up and listened. A smile slowly appeared on his face. The sound was the sound of firecrackers, and in the depths of the market, some people were setting off firecrackers to celebrate. Lin Jue sighed, he knew that the city was slowly waking up and slowly recovering. The wounds on his body were slowly healing. Maybe it won't be long before the cars are like flowing water, the lights are like day, and the sheng songs are everywhere. I used to think it was a luxurious life, but now I finally understand that it is a sign of prosperity.
When the people of the world pay attention to national affairs every day, it must be a time of national crisis. When the people's focus is on their personal life and entertainment, it is a time when the country is prosperous without major events. Although this truth is a bit biased and absolute, Lin Jue thinks it is very correct at the moment.
Go south to the direction of Bianhe Street and cross a few street crossings, turn east into Xiangguosi Street, and not long after, it is Lin Jue's home. After entering Beijing yesterday, Lin Jue's choice was to live in the previous mansion. This house was occupied after he left Beijing, and it is said that Lu Tianci insisted on living in his own house to show his humiliation. The house is also well preserved, but it is a mess inside.
In front of the house, several guards were changing into a brand-new plaque on the lintel, and when they saw Lin Jue and his party coming, they were busy standing and saluting. Lin Jue jumped off the horse and handed the reins to the guards, tilted his head and squinted at the newly hung plaque on the lintel for a moment, and smacked his lips and smiled: "Whose idea is this?" ”
A personal guard hurriedly said: "It's the idea of the handsome Mrs. Gao." We searched the street for a long time today before we found a shop with their newly made plaque. ”
Lin Jue looked at the plaque with the four big characters 'Marshal Lin's Mansion written on a black background, and said in a deep voice: "Take it off, Ming'er will go and change the plaque again, just write the word 'Lin Mansion'." ”
The guard was stunned and nodded in agreement.
Sun Dayong smiled beside him: "Is the handsome man afraid of being too ostentatious?" Marshal Lin's Mansion is not a swagger. The marshal is now the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the prime minister, the privy envoy, and will soon be crowned a king. It is not an exaggeration to hang the plaque of the palace. ”
Lin Jue turned his head to look at him and said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten the plaque in my mansion before?" It is the word 'Lin Fu'. Now that I'm back, it's business as usual. Those false names are all fake, you go and take a look at Lu Zhongtian's mansion, and now there is still a plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so what? This is my home, and I don't want to bring anything illusory with me from outside. I don't rely on these false names to bluff people. You know what I mean? ”
Sun Dayong nodded and said, "I understand." ”
Lin Jueju stepped into the house, unloaded his armor and blades, and went straight to the back house. It was quiet in the flower hall of the back house, and there were several female guards in the yard who were sprinkling and cleaning up the debris. Seeing Lin Jue striding in, the female guards hurriedly stood and saluted.
"What about the two ladies? Where did it go? Lin Jue asked with a smile.
"The lord of the village and Mrs. Bing'er are in the back garden." The guards hurriedly replied.
Lin Jue nodded and walked quickly to the back garden. The road leading to the back garden is much wider, it was originally a path of flowers and trees, but now a lot of flowers and trees on both sides have been removed, and the road has been widened a lot, and it seems that it is wide enough for horse-drawn carriages. Lin Jue frowned and felt a little depressed in his heart, this is this flower and tree path that Cai Wei personally took people to decorate, I don't know what Cai Wei will think when she sees it.
When he arrived at the gate of the back garden, Lin Jue was even more dumbfounded. The original delicate round vertical door has disappeared and has become a large vermilion lacquer gate. The cheesy round doorposts on both sides are painted red, except that they are tacky or tacky, and there are hints of the delicate vertical entrances of the past. On the inside of the vertical door, Lin Jue's favorite bush of Xiangfei bamboo was also missing, which made Lin Jue even more unhappy.
After entering the gate, the path is still widened a lot, and many of the flowers and trees are gone. But fortunately, the tall rockery not far from the entrance of the courtyard is still there. This is the essence of the whole garden. Because the path needs to be surrounded by rockeries, it can have a sense of hierarchy and tranquility. As soon as this rockery is gone, the whole garden is abandoned. Fortunately, the rockery is still there.
Coming to the side of the rockery, Lin Jue heard the voices of Gao Muqing and Bai Bing from an invisible place on the other side of the rockery, mixed with the sound of things collapsing.
"Damn, it's so damn. A good house was ruined like this by that dog thief. The plum blossom forest in the southwest corner was planed, and Huanqiu had to die of anger when she knew it. This was originally a meadow, and my husband and I and my sisters drank wine and enjoyed the moon here, but the dog thief who occupied the house bulldozed the grass and built this stage. Where is this still a garden? It's a vaudeville scene. I'm. Bai Bing's whirring voice came, mixed with the movement of ping-pong, obviously she was smashing something.
Gao Muqing's voice came: "Sister Bing'er, don't be so angry, be careful, don't hurt your hands." I haven't lived in this house for a day, so I don't know what you used to look like when you lived here. Now it seems that it was much better than it is now. But there's no way to do it, my husband and you have been away from the capital for more than three years, and the house has been occupied, and I can't control others. Go back and rearrange it
。 Don't be angry. ”
Bai Bing sighed: "Having said that, the things in the past here are all very memorable, and they are all memories of the past." The Xiangfei bamboo at the door, the husband also said that when they grew up, they would make a few bamboo flutes and send them to us, but they were actually uprooted. There is also the fish pond in the north, which I built with my sisters and I by hand, and we took a horse-drawn carriage to the beach outside the city to pick up the pebble inlaid bottom of the pond. The koi fish in it are also selected by us at the market market. It's good now, it's all filled in. And the pavilion on the rockery on the west side, that's my ...... The place where my husband and I fought that year. Now the pavilion has also been demolished. I'm really angry, angry. ”
When Lin Jue heard this, he laughed unconsciously. The matter of the pavilion on the rockery in the west that Bai Bing said was the incident when the two of them got drunk and hugged each other and slept until dawn. After that day, he and Bai Bing had an entangled relationship, and finally got her to work on her by himself. For Bai Bing, it is a place of great monumental significance. No wonder she was angry.
"Don't be angry, sister, let's build it again. Don't be upset about these trifles. Gao Muqing comforted.
Lin Jue walked out of the rockery shadow quickly, and answered with a smile: "Mu Qing is right, don't be unhappy, just return to the original state." It's not worth not being happy about such things. ”
Gao Muqing and Bai Bing were stunned for a moment, and when they saw that it was Lin Jue coming, the two hurriedly walked to greet them. The two girls took off their armor and uniforms, and after changing into spring shirts and long skirts, their faces were beautiful and their bodies were graceful. Standing in the sunset is like two blooming flowers. Lin Jue's eyes were straight.
"My husband is back, have you seen it, what has happened to the family that has been ruined? The rockery pavilion over there was demolished, a stage was set up here, and your favorite Xiangfei bamboo was also dug up. I'm. Bai Bing saluted and complained.
Lin Jue smiled: "I've seen it all, let's do it first." It's not worth getting angry about this kind of thing when you're free. ”
Bai Bing pursed her red lips and said, "No, in a few days, the county lord's sister Huanqiuying and the green dance sister will come to the capital." They can't be allowed to see that our home is ruined like this. I'm going to have to get back to the way I was in the next few days. Especially the county lord's sister, she cares most about the scenery and furnishings at home, and teaches her to see this, and she is not angry. ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and was just about to speak, Gao Muqing said softly beside him: "Silly Bing'er, your county lord's sister is not worried about these things now, she is afraid that she has more troubles." ”
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Muqing. Gao Muqing was also looking at herself with a smile. Lin Jue sighed softly: "Mu Qing, why do you say these heart-blocking words. This is a matter between me and the emperor, and it actually has nothing to do with Cai Wei. ”
Gao Muqing said: "Of course it matters, one is the elder brother and the other is the husband, and she is caught in the middle." Husband, the emperor is the emperor after all, and you are also brothers who share weal and woe and live and die together, why not be more generous, go and have a good chat with him, and make friends. Don't really get frozen. ”
Lin Jue sighed in his heart, but said in his mouth: "That's natural, I'll go to the old palace to see him at night." But now I'm hungry enough and tired enough, who of you will accompany me to take a mandarin duck bath, and who will make me something delicious to eat? ”
Gao Muqing stared at Lin Jue with a red face, and Bai Bing was also reddened and disgusted.
