Chapter 24 It is incumbent upon us
Lian Ruohan didn't listen to Lu Zhiyue reciting "University", and said: "It's not that Ling Zun and I force you to do anything, our two families have always been good families, and we should help each other." Now the four major families have taken advantage of the situation to revive the style of the family, needless to say, the Cui family has Cui Xiang in Zhending Mansion and Cui Xi in the Privy Council of the Central Committee. There is Zheng Haolin in the Zheng family court, and Zheng Hao in the Zhending Mansion. The Li family, there is Li Fuxian in the court, and there is a side branch Li Heng in Zhending Mansion. What about the Lu family? There is only one Lu Tianyang in the DPRK, who else is there in the locality? No more. ”
Lu Zhiyue also put away her grinning expression and thought about it seriously: "Why did the four great families come to really become officials?" What's so strange about it? ”
"The land of Zhending, more than 600 miles away from Shangjing in the north, more than 1,000 miles away from Lin'an, can go north, retreat can go south, and it is the intersection of the Cui family in Qinghe, the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Lu family in Fanyang and the Li family in Taiyuan, the east goes to the Cui family in the south, the Zheng family goes north to the Lu family and the west to the Li family, the distance is almost the same, it is an extremely important central place, and then it is the land of Taizong's Longxing, among the four families, who can sit in Zhending, who will occupy the most advantageous location. Besides, since it is really a land of dragon prosperity, it must be a treasure land of feng shui. ”
Lian Ruohan took a deep breath and continued: "Among the four families, the Lu family is the weakest, much behind the other three, Ling Zun and I want to recommend you as the master of Zhending, not only to seize the opportunity, but also to prevent the Li family and the Zheng family from going to the next city - Li Zhi and Zheng Huarui also intend to seek the position of the head of Zhending County. ”
"Li Zhi and Zheng Huarui are far away in Taiyuan and Xingyang, why don't they go to Beijing or Lin'an, they have to come to Zhending to seek a small position as the chief bookkeeper, strange things, strange things." Lu Zhiyue thought about it for a moment and understood something, "In this way, Zheng Hao came to Zhending Mansion to serve as a general judge, and it was also intentional?" In addition to Cui Xiang, why didn't the Cui family install more people in Zhending? ”
"Cui Xiang is the prefect of Zhending, the prefect of Zhending, he is full of words. If you put people in Zhending County again, wouldn't it be too obvious? Lian Ruohan saw that Lu Zhiyue was on the road, and his heart was a little fixed, "What's more, Xu Heguang of Zhending County is his brother-in-law." ”
"Also, the Cui family is still one step ahead in Zhending, no wonder, Zhending is the closest to the Cui family in Qinghe." Lu Zhiyue walked back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back for a few steps, suddenly figured out something, and slapped her palm on the table, "As long as Sister Ruohan convinces Xia Xianzun to nominate me as the chief bookkeeper, I am duty-bound." ”
"It's easy to convince the officials, but it's hard for the officials to review it." As soon as Lu Zhiyue finished speaking, Xia Xiang's voice outside the door suddenly sounded, and then as soon as the door rang, Xia Xiang Shi Ran appeared in front of the two.
Xia Xiang, who woke up after being drunk, was still a little drunk, although his steps were steady, his eyes were still three points confused, he sat down straight, saw that there was a cup of tea that had not moved, he was thirsty and couldn't take care of much, picked up the tea and drank it all, and then smiled contentedly: "If you don't see each other, how ruthless is affection." After the sheng song dispersed, the wine first woke up, and the moon in the deep courtyard was quiet...... Hey, it's getting dark. ”
At this time, it was dusk, the moon outside the hospital was quiet, and the autumn wind was sounding.
"You ......" Lian Ruohan's face suddenly flew red, "Xia Xianzun!" ”
"What's wrong with this officer?" Xia Xiang thought that he was disheveled, got up and tidied up a few times, and smiled smugly, "Everything is fine with this official, but I overheard the conversation between Ruohan's sister and Lu Langjun just now, and it was not intentional, forgive me, forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Zhiyue couldn't help laughing, and there was a joking in her eyebrows, "The tea that Xia Xianzun just drank has a different taste?" ”
"Only the taste of tea...... No, it seems that there are safflower, dried motherwort, white peony, and rehmannia rehmannia, which turned out to be medicinal tea. "Xia Xiang has often drunk medicinal tea since he was a child, medicine and food are of the same origin, and medicinal tea has always been inseparable," there are only a few flavors of medicine, mainly to nourish yin and nourish blood, nourish the kidneys and invigorate blood, if Sister Han, where are you unwell? ”
"That's it, that's it, where is Sister Ruohan's discomfort? Let Xia County take the pulse. Lu Zhiyue was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she squeezed her eyebrows and laughed non-stop.
"This official really knows the art of taking the pulse, come, Sister Ruohan, this official will diagnose and treat your pulse, how about it?" Xia Xiang stretched out two fingers of his right hand and fell towards Lian Ruohan's slender jade wrist.
Lian Ruohan was frightened, took a step back, and said with a cold face: "Xia County, please respect yourself!" "She's not feeling well, it's just that she wants to take a tonic or two during the menstrual period. was broken by Xia Xiangdao, and couldn't help but feel slightly stunned.
Xia Xiang laughed and put away his debauchery: "Sister Ruohan can usually sit on the medicine chair more, and the yang energy of wormwood can replenish qi." When there is enough gas, there is enough blood. Once the qi and blood are sufficient, there is no need to drink medicinal tea that nourishes yin and nourishes blood. By the way, how is the progress of the medicine chair medicine bed? If there is a finished product of the medicine chair, you can give Cui Fuzun one first, he lacks yang energy, and he loses both qi and blood. ”
"You'll see the finished product in a few days. The little woman wrote it down, and the first finished product would be sent to Cui Fuzun's mansion. Lian Ruohan calmed down a little, remembering that there were many taboo words in the conversation between her and Lu Zhiyue just now, and she couldn't rest assured, "What about Liu'er?" Why didn't Xia Xianzun wake up and send tea? ”
Xia Xiang knew what Lian Ruohan was worried about, and said with a smile: "Liu Er must be tired, leaning down on the table and falling asleep, the official didn't wake her up, just let her sleep a little longer." The official just entered the door, but he actually coughed, but the two of them didn't hear it, and it was covered by the sound of Lu Langjun slapping the table. ”
Xia Xiang's words were tantamount to telling Lian Ruohan implicitly, he only heard Lu Zhiyue's last words, Lian Ruohan was relieved, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Xia County Zun is really willing to recommend Lu Zhiyue as the head of Zhending County?" ”
"Ruohan's sister admires Lu Langjun so much, and Lu Langjun is a young talent, in case he really wins the civil and military double champion one day, let outsiders know that it is from Zhending County, and the official will also have a bright face." Xia Xiang's eyes were firm, and his tone was resolute, "The Japanese officials of the Ming Dynasty will go to the scribe's department to recommend Lu Zhiyue as the head of Zhending County!" ”
"Thank you, Xia Xianzun." Lian Ruohan was overjoyed and gave a blessing. Lu Zhiyue also hurriedly saluted, her face was mixed. Happily, I finally have an explanation for the family. The worry is that if you are not careful, you will fall into the whirlpool of the tiger's den in the real Longtan, and it will be difficult to be free from the wandering things.
"It's not early, when will Xia Xianzun have dinner?" Lian Ruohan saw that Xia Xiang was drunk for the most part, but he still had the feeling of drinking, so he said to Ling'er, "Ling'er, tell the kitchen to boil some rice porridge and prepare some more meals......"
"No need, this official will have fun with all the people, and he will not eat dinner." Xia Xiang thought that the common people only ate two meals a day, and the Changchun wine he drank today could be worth a year's harvest of a common people's family, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"That being the case, the moonlight is good tonight, and the weather is not cold, so please enjoy the moon and drink tea in the Xia County Zun Pavilion, okay?" Lian Ruohan still has something to discuss with Xia Xiang.
"It's fine." Xia Xiang turned around and glanced at Xiao Wu who was standing at the door, and ordered, "Xiao Wu, go and ask the lady to enjoy the moon together." ”
Although it is not very big, the pattern is very ingenious, three steps, one scene, five steps and one pavilion, and according to the four seasons different flowers and trees are planted, in the northern land can be evergreen in all seasons, it is really not easy.
The autumn breeze is a little cool, and the ginkgo leaves are falling, sprinkled with golden yellow all over the ground. The creeper on the rockery turns from green to red, which is particularly bright.
On the path, there is a light in five steps, and there are Ling'er and Liu'er with lanterns in front of and behind them, illuminating brightly. The surroundings are extremely silent, the autumn insects are screaming, and occasionally there is the sound of the river rushing in the distance, in the small town of the central plain, Xia Xiang suddenly has a long-lost warmth.
The pavilion is built in the middle of the lake, through the bridge and up, the water waves on all sides are not rising, and it is more quiet and remote. A bright moon hung high in the sky, as clear as frost, and there was a desolation that was as cool as water at night.
Xia Xiang sat still, thinking of his hometown, thinking of his mother who didn't know where he was, Xia Lai and Xia Go, but no matter where they were, there was a bright moon at this time.
Xia Xiang raised his glass to the moon: "Who saw the moon for the first time on the riverside?" When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year! The first cup of tea, respect the bright moon at this time! ”
Everyone raised their glasses to the moon at the same time.
Xia Xiang's life experience is clear to even Ruohan, and on the way from the capital to Zhending, he told her a lot. Compared with Xia Xiang, although she has both parents since she was a child and has been loved by thousands of people, she also has a lot of unavoidable troubles. At this moment, she found that something sparkling in Xia Xiang's eyes flashed, knowing that he was missing his mother and Xia Laixia, who didn't know where he had gone.
Mantuo and Xiao Wu came.
Xiao Wu stood on one side, rolled up his sleeves, and made tea for everyone. Her eyes were calm, her face was indifferent, and under the moonlight, she was like a jade person, which made Lu Zhiyue, who saw her beautiful face for the first time, stunned.
"Does Sister Ruohan have anything else to say?" Xia Xiang called Lian Ruohan Ruohan's sister at the beginning because he thought it was funny, and he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't change it.
Lian Ruohan didn't care about Xia Xiang's name for her, she gently lifted the boiling kettle with her right arm, poured the boiling hot water into the teapot in front of Mantuo, and smiled slightly: "There are still many things to say, Xia Xianzun, please drink tea first." ”
As soon as the water entered the kettle, the mantle covered the kettle, and when her wrist rolled, the kettle seemed to come alive in her hand, turning up and down, left and right, making people worry that either the kettle would fly out or the hot water would spill out.
As the mantle's technique accelerated, dazzling, it was suspected that the kettle had been dehydrated, which frightened Lu Zhiyue and exclaimed, thinking that the kettle was flying towards him, he stood up in a panic and overturned the chair.
Unexpectedly, when he looked at it, the kettle was firmly left in the palm of Mantuo's hand like taking root, and he let out a long breath and said with a smile: "What a powerful technique, if the Mantuo lady has leisure, can you teach the method of making tea?" ”
"There's no time." Mantuo responded coldly to Lu Zhiyue's words, without looking at him, and brought the first cup of tea to Xia Xiang, "Xia Xianzun, please use the dragon group to win the snow." ”
"Dragon Regiment Shengxue?" Lu Zhiyue exclaimed, ignoring the embarrassment of being responded to by Mantuo coldly, she hurriedly grabbed a cup of tea, smelled it, and said intoxicatedly, "Sure enough, it's really the dragon group Shengxue, the Mantuo lady is so powerful, there is actually a dragon group Shengxue." ”
"It's not mine, it's Xia Xianzun's tea." Mantuo sent another cup of tea to Lian Ruohan, "Sister Ruohan, your tea." ”
Lian Ruohan was stunned: "The lady of Mantuo called me sister?" Well, we'll be sisters from now on. ”
"It's better for you to call me Mantuo Niangzi, and I call you Sister Ruohan in order to be consistent with Xia Xianzun." Mantuo didn't receive Lian Ruohan's affection, and he was still as cold as ice.
Lian Ruohan didn't care, and smiled indifferently: "Xia County is blessed, and there is a Mantuo lady to follow, so you can sit back and relax." ”
Xia Xiang didn't smile, took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup: "If there is anything else about Sister Ruohan, don't worry about it." ”
Lian Ruohan still had a lot of things to discuss with Xia Xiang, she also took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The little girl wants to ask Xia Xianzun, do you want to investigate the case of Fu Ke?" ”
Cui Fuzun and Xu Xiancheng both persuaded the official to get the case to the end of the department, but Zheng Tongju tried his best to let the official investigate to the end. Li Tuiguan had an attitude of staying out of the matter and did not express his position. Xia Xiang also guessed that Lian Ruohan would definitely care about Fu Ke's case, and asked with a smile, "What does Ruohan's sister think?" ”
"I don't have any high opinions, only shallow opinions." Lian Ruohan refilled the tea for Xia Xiang, and Ying Ying smiled, "What others say is someone else's business, and what Xia Xianzun thinks, is the most important thing." The little woman believes that Xia Xianzun will definitely continue to investigate. ”
"Oh, why?" Xia Xiang looked curious.
"On the science field in the capital, Xia Xianzun uncovered the most serious fraud case in the history of Great Xia with a black list, and on the palace test, he once again explained the matter to the emperor, which shows that Xia Xianzun acted and faced difficulties head-on, and would not give up halfway." Lian Ruohan pulled his hair, revealing an arm in his sleeve, his white victory and snow were as smooth as jade, "Now that the fame is in the body, the power is in hand, it is the time to serve the country and the people, and the case of Fu Ke is an extremely important opportunity. ”
Xia Xiang pretended not to hear Lian Ruohan's compliment, and smiled slightly: "Fu Ke's case is just a murder case, how can it be related to the real Lang Lang Qiankun?" It is true that the government is harmonious, the wind is clean and upright, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Lian Ruohan smiled silently, picked up the charcoal fire, and boiled the water again: "There are thousands of displaced people outside Zhending City, homeless, Xia County Zun didn't see it?" Xia Xianzun can know why these people, who originally lived and worked in peace and contentment, became unemployed vagrants? ”
Xia Xiang naturally knew the reason, he nodded and said, "What do they have to do with Fu Ke's case?" ”
"The little woman doesn't know very well, maybe she'll find out if she looks it up." Lian Ruohan didn't mean to sell Guanzi, but she really didn't know, but she always felt that Fu Ke's case was not a simple murder case, and there seemed to be too many unknown secrets hidden behind it, "Whether it is to seek justice for the people, or to find out the true purpose of the real murderer behind the scenes, Fu Ke's case is worth investigating to the end." ”
"Anything else?" Xia Xiang did not respond positively to Lian Ruohan.
Lian Ruohan seemed to have expected that Xia Xiang would not answer directly, nor was he angry, and smiled indifferently: "Yes, the little woman heard that Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan intend to withdraw from the granary and grain growing business, I don't know if Xia County Zun has a candidate to take over?" ”
"There you have, Liu Changting and Xie Huagai. The candidate recommended by Cui Fuzun also feels that it is feasible. Xia Xiang guessed that Lian Ruohan must have asked this question, and said with a smile, "What, Ruohan's sister also wants to take over?" ”
"Since Xia Xianzun already has a candidate, I won't participate in this matter. However......" Lian Ruohan remembered something, "Did Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan directly transfer the granary and grain planting to Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, or did Liu Xie and the others start a new business?" ”
Manta was silent, just making tea. Lu Zhiyue sat honestly on the side, admiring the gestures and graceful posture of the mantle. There are several people in the pavilion, only Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan come and go, and they are secretly verbally exchanging.
If it is Lu Zhiyue's temperament, he will ask for clarification within three sentences, and he will not come and go openly and secretly. Lu Zhiyue also understands Lian Ruohan's character, Lian Ruohan is witty and changeable, and if she encounters a strong person, she will also respond with a strong force. If she meets a resourceful person, she will become a female Zhuge who fights openly and secretly.
It's just that in the contest between her and Xia Xiang, there is always a feeling of deliberateness, as if she is deliberately going back and forth with Xia Xiang, what she wants is to let Xia Xiang look down on her and care more about her. Lu Zhiyue was very rude to Xia Xiang before, but now she suddenly felt that Xia Xiang was simply a good person, because Xia Xiang successfully attracted Lian Ruohan's attention, he didn't have to suffer Lian Ruohan's abuse.
"Originally, Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan wanted to directly transfer it to Liu Changting and Xie Huagai, but the official suggested that they leave the granary and grain planting business, and let Liu Xie and the others start a new business." Xia Xiang remembered the scene in the mansion and smiled, "Zheng Tongju also recommended you to take over the granary and grain planting business to this official, which is very interesting." ”
Zheng Tong sentenced...... I also know him, and he can afford it. It also happens that I intend to take over the granary and grain business, how about Xia County's respect? ”
"No." Xia Xiang directly shook his head and rejected Lian Ruohan's idea, and smiled slightly, "Why does Ruohan's sister have to take over the granary and grain business, the granary and grain business she took over is to cooperate with the government, it is better for you to cooperate with Xu Wangshan and Ma Qingyuan, in this way, the granary and grain business of you and Xu and Ma are merchant behaviors, and the granary and grain business of Liu Xie and the others are official behaviors. ”
Lian Ruohan couldn't keep up with Xia Xiang's thoughts, he was stunned for a moment, thought about it, understood something, and smiled: "Xia Xianzun intends to abolish the new law?" ”
"The new law is the law of the imperial court, how dare you abolish the new law in this official district, a seven-pin county? Ruohan's sister must not talk nonsense. Xia Xiang looked nervous, and respectfully arched his hand in the direction of the capital, "This official is an official of the imperial court, and the laws of the imperial court should be obeyed." ”
Lian Ruohan was amused by Xia Xiang's serious appearance, thinking that he was usually resourceful, sometimes cunning and changeable, and would pretend to be pretentious, so he couldn't help but smile: "The little woman said the wrong thing for a while, and I hope Xia Xianzun will forgive me." The little woman is also unintentional, not talking about the new law. ”
"Forget it, the official doesn't blame you." Seeing that Lian Ruohan pretended to be quite similar, Xia Xiang also made a show to cooperate, "So it's decided, Ruohan's sister, Xu Wangshan, and Ma Qingyuan jointly run a granary and grain planting business, which is a merchant's behavior and has nothing to do with the government." ”
