Chapter 1245: Faith
This morning, after Li Xiu finished lecturing to the children, he ordered them to move freely, and then walked to Lizhi's side and knocked on the table in front of her and said, "Lizhi, why have you been absent-minded?" ”
Liqing, who was in a daze, heard Li Xiu's voice, and then suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and when he saw the smile on Li Xiu's face, he couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression and said, "Don't blame me, sir, I'm ...... I'm a little distracted! ”
"Hehe, last time Heian Lang wrote a letter saying that he got along very well with the pheasant slave, and also said that he would help the pheasant slave sort out the taxes on the side of the state, so I'm afraid he will be busy for a while, and it is estimated that he will write in a few days." When Li Xiu saw Li's appearance, he couldn't help but smile again.
After Heian Lang went to Bingzhou, he would write back almost every month, but there was no letter this month, and now more than ten days have passed, so it's normal for Lizhi to worry about him.
Seeing that Li Xiu guessed what was on his mind, Li Zhen couldn't help but show a shy expression, and then said: "I don't worry about anything happening to Ping An Lang at the pheasant slave, but last time the weather was cold, I made a dress for him, and I don't know if the size is appropriate, and Ping An Lang always forgets to eat when he does things, which is not good for the stomach, and he has persuaded him many times and he doesn't know how to change." ”
Hearing these chattering words of Lizhen, Li Xiu secretly sighed that the children have really grown up, although Lizhen and Ping'anlang have not yet married, but she has already taken on the responsibility of a wife, it seems that after they get married in the future, they don't have to worry about their son not being able to take care of themselves in life.
Just when Li Xiu was just about to comfort Lizhi for a few words, he suddenly saw a subordinate rushing over and shouting: "Master~, young master...... The young master's letter was delivered from Bingzhou! ”
As the saying goes, Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Li Xiu didn't expect it to be so coincidental, and at that moment he couldn't help laughing at Li Zhen and said: "Look, I just said that Ping Anlang's letter is about to arrive, I didn't expect it to come so coincidentally!" ”
Li Zhen didn't care about being shy at this time, she stood up excitedly, and as soon as the next person sent the letter, she snatched it over, but until this time, she found that she was really a little too out of shape, and her face was red with shame at the moment, but she still picked out the letter to herself from the letter, and then handed the rest of the letter to Li Xiu, and then ran out with a red face.
Seeing Lizhen's appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile, as a person who came over, he could understand Lizhen's mood, and naturally he wouldn't laugh at her.
The letters sent from Bingzhou not only have Ping'anlang's, but also Li Zhi's, Li Zhi usually writes letters to Li Xiu, and sometimes writes letters to friends who have a good relationship, such as Di Renjie, etc., but he rarely writes letters to Li Shimin, of course, this is not surprising, after all, if he has anything, he usually writes official documents directly to Li Shimin.
At that moment, Li Xiu picked out the letters, and this time Ping An Lang and Li Zhi both wrote letters to themselves, so he handed the rest of the letters to the others, and returned to the study with these two letters.
At that moment, Li Xiu first opened Ping Anlang's letter, there was a lot of content on the letter, and he just greeted Li Xiu and others about their physical condition, and then then entered the main topic, mainly to tell about some of his experiences in the state, such as the last time he mentioned that he wanted to help Li govern the tax revenue of the state, and now he has begun to do it, and according to him, it is not bad, it is estimated that it will be about the same in a while.
In addition, now that the New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, although the trade on the grassland has decreased by half, but the affairs in the city have not decreased at all, but because the New Year has become busier, he has no time to write letters during this time.
However, speaking of the time when Heian Lang went to Bingzhou, he also helped Li Zhi do a lot of things, although Li Zhi served as the governor of Bingzhou in the past, but because he was not in Bingzhou for a long time, so the local officials were responsible for management, and Bingzhou and Taiyuan were originally next to each other, and it was a transit point for trade between the Central Plains and the grassland, so business was very prosperous.
But the officials over there are not very clever in management, resulting in local financial chaos, and the administrative management is also a little unclear, which is very easy for people to exploit loopholes, Li Zhi also found this problem when he went to Bingzhou, but he was young and incapacitated, and there was no way to solve this problem, fortunately, Heian Lang went there later, so the two of them have been busy with this matter during this time.
After introducing what he was doing in Bingzhou, he asked Li Xiu some problems he encountered when doing things, although Li Xiu did not have any experience in local governance, but after all, he was well-informed and had a lot of life experience, so he could also help Ping An Lang point out.
In addition, Ping An Lang also mentioned in the letter that these things they did in Bingzhou were also supported by Li Ji, because when Li Zhi was not in Bingzhou before, Li Ji had always managed Bingzhou in the name of the governor of Bingzhou, and the army in Bingzhou and Taiyuan was also controlled by him, so as to deter changes on the grassland, and it was with Li Ji's support that Li Zhi and Ping'an Lang's governance in Bingzhou did not encounter any major obstacles.
After reading Ping Anlang's letter, Li Xiu picked up Li Zhi's letter, but when he just opened the letter and saw the beginning, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, because the first paragraph of Li Zhi's letter was to complain to Li Xiu that Lizhi, who was his sister, only made clothes for Ping'an Lang, but forgot about his younger brother, and he also complained about it, and even said that the clothes made by Lizhi for Ping'an Lang did not fit, and as a result, Ping'an Lang was always wearing it in front of him.
Looking at these childish words on Li Zhi's letter, Li Xiu seemed to have seen Li Zhi's puffed up cheeks and angry appearance in front of him, but Li Zhi was not really angry, and later talked about what he and Ping An Lang did during this time, but it was not much different from what Ping An Lang wrote.
After reading his son and Li Zhixin, Li Xiu also wrote a reply to them at the moment, because it was about to be the New Year, so after he finished writing the letter, he ordered people to prepare some things for the New Year, and Li Zhen and Di Renjie and others also wrote a reply to them, and also prepared a lot of New Year's rituals, etc., and planned to send them to Bingzhou with the letter.
However, just as Li Xiu's letters and gifts to Li Zhi were sent, it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the entire Chang'an City began to enter the preparations of the previous year, and there was more joy on the streets than in the past, but at this time, Li Chengqian and his heart were finally stabbed to Li Shimin.
