The next day, I was still used to getting up very early, and first went to the residence arranged by the eldest princess to find the old man who had passed the news the day before yesterday, asked for a few things, and put a contact flower battle, and collected the secret envoy who had not responded the day before yesterday, and only returned to the palace in the evening. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mrs. Wu Liu was already in the guest room early, waiting for a sense of hope. We hastily had dinner, and when the night was hazy, we quietly took two secret guards of the Liu family's mansion and two girls to sneak into the Liu family's weaving workshop together.

The Liu family ordered the two girls and the two secret guards to guard the wind, and I followed her into the Liu family's weaving workshop.

Waiting into the garden of the weaving workshop, looking from the south to the north, a courtyard should be stacked and raised, and the mountains reflect the water, like a landscape painting; Looking south from the north, you can only see the neem pavilion at the highest place;

Looking from the middle, it can be seen that the houses echo in all directions, and the main courtyard in the center and the eight houses on the side echo the trend of yin and yang gossip.

The whole weaving workshop is divided into several houses, such as tie-dyeing workshop, weaving workshop, knitting workshop, weft knitting workshop, etc.

The tie-dye workshop is mainly used to dye and practice silk cloth, mainly for coloring and laying out various procedures, and occupies four houses and an outer hall pavilion in the southwest for drying and parking.

Turning to the north, there is the Shuttle Weaving Workshop, which has eight rooms with tread looms, dobby looms, jacquard looms and other looms, and there are more than 800 looms.

On the west side, there are eight knitting workshops and weft knitting workshops, and their respective wool and weft knitting machines and warp knitting machines are placed together. Then go through the entrance to the east to the warehouse and other places.

When I entered the warehouse, I saw that all kinds of fabrics were stacked and booked, and the middle two columns of the flower-wearing hundred butterflies Huzhou brocade and the candle flame moonlight changed brightly, dazzling.

And only do tribute and have the highest value of the cloud brocade, but the candlestick is slightly hot but does not hide its color and luster brilliant, fine weaving, exquisite patterns, gorgeous brocade, elegant style.

"If it is really beautiful like the clouds in the sky, it is indeed exquisite." I sighed, and after thinking about it for a while, Fang slowly said to Mrs. Wu Liu:

"I know that what happened to Brother Ling and the Liu family weaving is the truth, and I can also transfer the account book to the eldest princess for you.

But you also know that your Liu family's weaving relies on the eldest prince and Empress Zhaoren, and now both of them have passed away as immortals, even if there are indeed officials who have fallen into the ground, the eldest princess does not have much reason and necessity to help.

After all, no matter who runs this weaving workshop in the end, it is not absolutely different from the imperial court, so why should you let the eldest princess offend these local forces who want to replace it in order to protect your Liu family?

Moreover, the Beiming ancestral system means that the official is not allowed to interfere in commerce at will, and the government supervises the private sector, even if it is not absolutely the case when it is implemented, no one will directly stretch out their hands too long. Are you mentally prepared for these? ”

I looked at her, perhaps because of this woman's courage to finally try to turn the tide in a precarious family that stood on the wrong side of the factional struggle, or perhaps because Mrs. Wu Liu was indeed an out-and-out beautiful and detached beauty.

And this Liu's weaving is indeed well organized, and has its characteristics, so I feel a little pity. shouldn't have said much, but he still made his debut, "Besides, since you want to use me to get out of trouble for your husband's family and your family, you shouldn't think that I am young, so I have a lot of things to hide and pretentious." ”

Who knew that as soon as this sentence was finished, Liu Shi was stunned and knelt down again, her frequent kneeling, but made me feel as if I was in the new Yue time.

I heard her lean down and look at me again, her eyes full of tears, and she bit her lip. The silk pipa top on her body, with an emerald blue horse-faced skirt, along with the silver four-butterfly step rocks on the sideburns and silver butterfly earrings of the same color, trembled slightly in the moonlight.

After a while, she spoke, "The slave family must know everything and say everything, and will never dare to deceive General Fu word by word, if I violate this word, I will die without a place to bury." But please teach me the way out. After saying that, he began to kowtow.

Although I am used to seeing this in Xinyue, after all, I have been in Beiming for a few years, and I have long been unwilling to be given such a big gift, but I can't rashly promise her anything, so I have to drag a chair and sit down, look at her for a while, and say:

"Well, let me ask you, how do you know that the master of the Xing family ordered Lord Wu to use the method of breaking the embankment and flooding the fields to force the farmers to change their farming to mulberry? And Uncle Fu's housewife Xing never leaves Pengcheng, where does the news come from?

As for the token, where did it come from? Also, where did your Liu family ancestor start his business? How did you buy the eyes and ears of all the officials around you and hide it from such a major event as the bursting of the embankment and flooding the fields? Arise,

Tell me one by one, if I can help, I will naturally not die without help, if not, you will swear again, what's the use? ”

She was stunned, her hands on the ground and shrunk, and after a moment, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly said to me:

"General Fu is a martial artist, and he is cheerful and straightforward. The slave family did not dare to deceive, the method of breaking the embankment and flooding the field was the mother and brother of the Xing master

- Xing Li, the wife of the salt merchant Xing Yuanliang, mentioned that she and I traveled with me during the Lantern Festival in Fengyi City the year before last, she and I are best friends, the same age and the same age, and because each other's mothers are disciples of the female painter Yan Yan, they know each other well.

As for the token that came later, it was the Xianglan girl from Prince Li's family, but she only said that she helped Master Xing's mother bring it, and said that if the matter of changing the land to mulberry was not very smooth, she might as well use some extraordinary means.

After all, the country was supposed to win the war only by guaranteeing the silver in wartime, and it was said that it was entrusted by the state, so it was given a token. I didn't believe it very much, but I told my family privately, and I didn't want many county and township officials in Fengyi City to have this idea, so I reached this extraordinary measure together.

But even so, my family is really dedicated to the country, he was afraid that the water potential of the Yangtze River would not be well controlled, and it would be out of control and too wide, so we spent more than 500 silver to invite the best river worker Wei Qingqiu to come and personally design the way to break the embankment.

The control of time and water volume is not central and too extensive.

And because it was a matter of a group of officials making a joint decision, the Governor and the Chengguan Lord, the county officials and the government and the government were all allowed to make the judgments—General Fu, the slaves really didn't dare to deceive——"

I thought to myself, in this way, it seems that someone deliberately instigated among the officials, but in fact, from the very beginning, I heard that there was a case of flooding the fields by breaking the embankment, causing a large number of peasant households to be displaced, and they were extremely dissatisfied, so that they were finally instigated to rebel in Pengcheng.

I also vaguely felt that this matter could not be investigated by so many secret envoys and eyeliners of the eldest princess for a long time, and if it was concealed, it must be the result of local forces twisting into one place, but these officials inevitably made a choice because of their special factional affiliation with the princes.

But now that the incident happens, there are always a few people who have been pushed out, and since there were many lives when the fields were flooded, Wu Xize, who was in charge of the punishment of Fengyi City, was naturally difficult to get away with.

As for the plot behind this matter, it is indeed the eldest princess, so she asked me to carefully investigate and distinguish clearly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing, and looked at the Liu family in front of me, but he was also a female husband, and now the Liu family and the Wu family were caught in the quagmire of this matter at the same time, seeing that the two families could not survive, but she was desperate to make the last effort to save something.

Seeing that I refused to answer her, the Liu family bowed to her again, and continued slowly: "The adults asked about the slave family's mother's Liu family, and the slave family did not dare to hide it.

Speaking of this, I saw that her face was red, and she said with a look of surprise, "The grandfather of the slave Liu family is a Luo Wei person, but he has been doing sea trade for many years, and he has not had anything to do with Luo Wei after becoming a son-in-law, and he was seriously injured and died the year before last because of Luo Wei pirates robbing merchant ships. ”

As she spoke, she looked up at me again, and said with a little trembling, "Please pay General Mingjian, what the slave family said, I will never dare to deceive again." If the slave family has to survive this difficulty, they will pray for the general in the morning and dusk, so that the grass will be tied to the ring, and the ox will be used as a horse to repay the general's great kindness......"

"All right," I heard her say, and I was not very impatient, but after thinking about it in my heart, I was still determined to benefit others and myself, and to help others as much as possible, so I said softly:

"If what you said is true, maybe you can prove to the eldest princess that the Liu family has a unique identity and a unique role, and can do things that other families can't do when they do this weaving—for example, they know more about Luo Wei's affairs, and even those who have relatives in Luo Wei's various domains, etc., who can privately provide information sources for Beiming in addition to doing business-"

I didn't look at her somewhat misty and hazy eyes, and I could only point her here, if she could think about me clearly, at least she might be able to save one of the Wu family and the Liu family, so as not to be overwhelmed.

After saying that, I stopped looking at her and walked straight out. But I heard her kowtow a few times behind her. I shook my head, sighed helplessly, and walked away again.

After sorting out the spy investigation, I went to the Jiuji Mountain Yue Fei Ancient Tomb in Fengyi City, which is a place I have never been to since I was a child.

Climb the mountain for a long time, go up along the weedy path, walk all the way into the mausoleum passage, both sides are tall and standing stone tigers, stone sheep, stone horses and stone Weng Zhong, the door carving of the Yuejia mausoleum is also carved vigorously and mighty.

Although the grassland under the ancient tomb mountain is prosperous and sometimes dry, but it is sad and does not hide the magnificent color, in front of the tombstone pavilion in front of the tombstone standing high in the river, there are four big characters of "loyalty and righteousness" written by the former Xinyue Taizu Emperor himself,

The incense burned all year round on the stone carved incense case in front of the court, and the people who came and went to mourn were chasing the loyal heart that was once lonely and helpless through the veil of history, and remembering the regret of the tragic and solemn hero who could not return to his homeland through the ages.

When I was very young, Yue Fei, King Jiang Wu, and the bare-faced and courageous General Guan Yunchang were the gods and generals admired by everyone in the army.

But more and more I find that the complexity of the world and what I need to stick to myself is far from being able to achieve it with the word loyalty, but it requires too much self-knowledge, the ability to know people and a firm and mellow way of dealing with the world.

The story of the god can be widely sung in the streets and alleys of the drama teahouse, and loyalty can also be expressed in passionate words and generous songs.

However, to really stand on this sea of ups and downs, really be in this turbulent world, and really want to keep oneself with self-improvement, how can the wisdom and means needed be just as talked and laughed as the book says?
