After having dinner with Li Biao and others in the afternoon, Tuoba Shen took the search records made by Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou, and returned to the room with Lu Guang and Liu Teng. He had to take a closer look at these and remember them clearly, because he didn't think clearly when he replied to the decree after he went back.

Looking at the records on the record, Li Biao and the others went to Jiankang North City today to inspect the size of the East Market, the regulations of the members of the public government, the types and quantities of goods entered and exited by merchants of all sizes, and the city tax. Later, he went to the south bank of Xuanwu Lake to go around for several miles, inspected the horizontal embankment built here by the Southern Dynasty, and also drew a simple map of the situation on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake.

After putting these records in place, locking the box, and giving the key to Lu Guang, Tuoba Shen returned to the window and sat down, and through the low window, he saw Mrs. Chen's mother and son sitting opposite each other, one doing embroidery, and the other facing his mother studying the classics.

"Lu Qing, you go and chill the melons and fruits given by King Luling before noon, and distribute some to Li Qing, Zheng Qing and others, if there is any surplus, you can send some more to Chen's mother and son."

After Lu Guang went out, Tuoba Shen instructed Liu Teng to push the low table on the couch to the side, lie down and rest, while Liu Teng took a feather fan to fan the wind on the side of the couch.

Today's world is not as good as that of later generations, and ordinary people have no nightlife, so it is not popular to take a lunch break, and some nobles have the habit of taking a nap at noon.

Tuoba Shen slept late last night because of the heat, and set off to Zhongshan again in the early morning, and he was a little sleepy during lunch, but now after he was busy with business, he felt even more heavy eyelids, and felt sleepy. Thinking that there is still nightlife tonight, it would be too indecent to get sleepy and yawn when the time comes, so it is better to rest for a while there is still some time.

"Liu Qing doesn't have to wait for a long time, he can go and rest by himself when he stays for a while. Go to the Luling Mansion tonight, and Qing can go with you. ”

Liu Teng has been following him for a few months, and he is busy on weekdays, without credit and hard work, and he is quite dedicated to serving him. In the past few days after entering Jiankang, he has left Lu Guang by his side to serve, and he has foreign affairs to be pushed to Liu Teng, Liu Teng has never been slack, he does his best in everything, and Tuoba Shen feels that it is not good to alienate him like before. If you don't take him with you tonight, it will be considered to calm his heart.

Liu Teng knelt on the edge of the couch and waved the feather fan, listening to Tuoba Shen's words, his heart was also excited, he took a deep breath carefully, suppressed his heart's movements, and the feather fan in his hand left only an afterimage.

He knew that although His Royal Highness treated him in front of him on weekdays, he was no different from Lu Guang, but whenever there was a private matter, Lu Guang would serve and handle it, and he was mostly responsible for foreign affairs. After such a long time, he also saw that His Royal Highness Tuo did not trust him as much as Lu Guang. However, he didn't have any resentful thoughts, after all, Lu Guang had followed His Highness for many years, and it was not something he could compare. If you want to get the trust of Your Highness, you can only use loyalty and diligence to self-test in a short time. Therefore, for several months, His Highness has instructed him to do everything himself. Fortunately, the hard work of these months has finally paid off today, how can he not be excited. Thinking back to the busy past few months, especially in the past few days, I have been busy in Jiankang Zhucheng in the morning, and I am going to cry.

。。。。。。

Not in the middle of the day

"Got it...... Got it......"

The sound of cicadas chirping alternately through the windows came to the room, and in a blur, Tuoba Shen, who was resting, was so noisy that he opened his eyes, and his mind was empty for two seconds before he felt a breeze blowing from the right rear.

"Lu Qing, when is it?" Tuoba Shen sat up and asked.

"Lu Jun went to the vestibule two minutes ago, does His Highness want to look for him?"

Tuoba listened carefully to the pleasant sound coming from behind, and subconsciously knew that it was Mrs. Chen.

"Why is Madame here?" Tuoba Shen stood up, straightened his clothes, and said strangely. Although Mrs. Chen lived in the back bed, she would never enter his room without being summoned. He just subconsciously thought it was Lu Guang!

"Lu Jun was worried that His Highness was unbearably hot, so he sent his concubine to serve His Highness before leaving." Mrs. Chen stopped her feather fan and bowed slightly.

I see!

"Madame, are you still used to being in the museum these days?" Tuoba Shen looked at the long silk ribbon on Mrs. Chen's right arm and waist, and turned his gaze away and said.

No wonder others say that women are pretty and filial. This Mrs. Chen is still just wearing a long silk belt, and she has a different kind of style. I really don't know how moving she will be with her filial piety?

"The concubine grew up in Jiangzuo and moved to Sanwu for more than 20 years. Since the death of her deceased husband, although the mountains and rivers are different, there is no difference between the concubines. ”

It seems that Mrs. Chen has a deep affection for her husband! Tuoba Shen couldn't help but have a headache.

In the past two days, he has always wanted to tell Mrs. Chen about going to Jiangbei in the future, but he has never had the opportunity to say it. Unexpectedly, before he could say his words clearly, he listened to Mrs. Chen's affectionate words to her husband. I can't help but feel that it will be even more difficult to talk about this matter in the future.

Chen Qingzhi wanted to bring him back to Pingcheng, but Mrs. Chen's husband was buried in Jiankang, and the Chinese, regardless of ancient and modern times, have the habit of relocating to the land, asking her to leave Jiankang and travel thousands of miles, and perhaps there will be no opportunity to sacrifice for her husband in the next few decades, but I am afraid that he may not be willing to go. Of course, he can naturally use his strength legally and reasonably, but it would not be beautiful if he had a grudge with the Chen family's mother and son because of this, and it would also deviate from his original ambition to do so.

Seeing that Tuoba Shen's face was embarrassed, Mrs. Chen asked, "What troubles does Your Highness have?" The concubine mother and son live in the hall, and since they are the servants and maids of His Royal Highness, if they have something to do, they dare not postpone it. ”

If you say it in the morning and say it late, it's all about it, since Mrs. Chen herself has spoken, just say it directly!

Tuoba said cautiously: "Since Madame said so, Gu will no longer hide Madame. Mrs. should know that she is alone with the king's order, and she will not stay in Jiankang for a long time, and she will cross the river and return to the dynasty in two decades. ”

"Madame's arrival in the museum, although it is a coincidence, can also be said to be providential. Gu has always believed that the way of heaven is knowledgeable, and nothing is illuminated. It is to invite the wife, mother and son to go to Jiangbei together. Speaking of which, Tuoba Shen himself felt that his words were a little strange, as if he was like a son of a family with bad intentions and seduced a woman from a good family.

"If Mrs. Chen Jun is intended, she can leave someone to bury Chen Jun in Jiangbei. Don't worry, Madame. ”

Mrs. Chen lowered her head slightly, and after being silent for a long time, she raised her head and said: "The concubine's mother's family was also a local surname in the previous dynasty, just because the elders of the clan served as the king of Guiyang at that time, and afterwards the family was put in prison and removed from the scholar's status. At the time of the clan rebellion, the father sent the concubine to the deceased husband's house to hide because he was a close friend of his uncle. During the Chan Dynasty, the imperial court issued a pardon, and my father was able to be pardoned and released from prison. In the second year, his father was in charge and allowed his concubine to the Chen family. ”

At that time, the Chen family was afraid of being affected because of the rebellion of the concubine's mother's family, and opposed this family affair many times. It was at the insistence of the first uncle that the concubine was able to enter the Chen family. Seven years ago, my uncle died, and after three years of mourning, my deceased husband did not say goodbye to my old portable concubine mother and son to Jiankang. When her deceased husband died, she once said that she would cut off her relatives and no longer need to help her return to her hometown, but she could be buried in Jiankang nearby. ”

"After the death of her deceased husband, the concubine had no relatives in Jiankang, and she wanted to take her child back to Yixing. Fortunately, Xiao joined the army and was kind, so that the concubine was able to have a place to raise her orphan son. When Mrs. Chen said this, she fell silent, probably remembering what happened to the Xiao family, and then continued after a while: "Now, the concubine's family is broken, and there is only one son to rely on, and there is no other thought. For the rest of his life, I only wish that the child would be free from disasters and safe adults. Shu is worthy of the deceased husband. ”

"Jiankang is not as close to her deceased husband as she is in the township, but fortunately, it is still in the south. Although the deceased husband often said that he was cut off from his relatives, the concubine knew that he was depressed in his heart, although Jiankang was not Yixing, he was not far from Yixing. Needless to say, the matter of relocation is self-explanatory. The concubine's mother's family, the husband's family, and the family's family have changed a lot, and the deceased husband has not been able to reconcile the etiquette between his death, how dare my orphans and widows ask for etiquette everywhere. Just ask His Highness to allow Xiao'er to go to the tomb to sweep the sacrifice before leaving. Mrs. Chen said and bowed down.

Tuoba Shen stepped forward, stopped Mrs. Chen, and said, "What Madame wants, sincerity and reasonableness, how dare you not allow it." The lady was relieved, and before leaving alone, she should prepare all kinds of fruit sacrifices for Ling Lang. ”

"Concubine Dai'er thanked His Highness!" Mrs. Chen insisted on saluting despite Tuoba Shen's hand holding her arms.

If you want to talk about the experience of coming to the Qingyi Pavilion in the past few days, Mrs. Chen herself has many puzzles. When she first entered the museum, she was afraid that something unfortunate would happen to her. After seeing Tuoba Shen, it was a blessing in disguise that he was able to stay in the back bed with his son, and avoid the end of sleeping like several other servants. In the past two days, she has also secretly felt lucky many times. It's just that she really doesn't understand in her heart why Tuoba Shen is so kind to her mother and son because he is not related to her mother and son.

If it weren't for Tuoba Shen's age, which was only one or two years older than Chen Qingzhi, there would be no rudeness to her in his mannerisms. She's going to be cranky.
