Chapter 239: The First Talented Girl
After Liangshan's soldiers and horses captured Qingzhou, Chao Yong urged Zhao Mingcheng to send someone to pick up Li Qingzhao, and sent a team of personal soldiers to escort him along the way.
Zhao Mingcheng was still full of unwillingness when he joined Liangshan that day, but after seeing the power of black powder that day, Zhao Mingcheng was determined to help Chao Gai and his son fight the world.
There is a lot of news in the countryside, and Li Qingzhao came to Qingzhou with a stomach full of questions.
After arriving in Qingzhou, I learned that Qingzhou had been occupied by Liangshan soldiers and horses, and Liangshan soldiers and horses were no longer ready to grab a handful and leave, but to raise the flag to rebel. The soldiers and horses who escorted her all the way were the personal soldiers of the young master of Liangshan, and what he didn't expect was that her husband Zhao Mingcheng actually took refuge in Liangshan.
Therefore, Li Qingzhao got out of the car and asked Zhao Mingcheng to take him to the study.
Li Qing looked at Zhao Mingcheng, who had not been seen for a long time, he didn't seem to be thin because he missed himself and handled official business, and he seemed to be a little blessed.
Zhao Mingcheng only thought that Li Qingzhao was a nerd and had another attack, so he was about to come to the study as soon as he got out of the car, and said with a smile: "Madam, this house is an inferior gentleman in the city, and he only knows how to deceive the people on weekdays, so how can he have the heart to study." This study is a little smaller, and I'll let people expand it when I get back. ”
Li Qingzhao glanced at Zhao Mingcheng suspiciously, and said: "The husband is also a person who reads poetry and books, and he should know the truth of serving the country with loyalty." Why did he become a gang with Liangshan soldiers and horses now, doing that thing without a king and a father? ”
Zhao Mingcheng shook his head and said: "The sage has clouds, the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light." Now the Song Dynasty is mediocre, and the people of the world are not happy, and the king of Liangshan Chao is magnanimous, benevolent and loves the people. ”
Li Qingzhao frowned and said: "But the imperial court treats the Zhao family well, and your father was the prime minister during his lifetime, and you also became a governor." It is that the court is unkind to the people, but it has not lost the Zhao family, how can the officials turn their backs on the court. ”
Zhao Mingcheng didn't expect Li Qingzhao to call him, but he was to question him. Thinking of the unhappiness in the previous correspondence, he said impatiently: "What kindness did the son of heaven of the Song Dynasty have to my Zhao family, my father dedicated his life to the Song Dynasty, but in the end he was chased away by the faint monarch, and I was also relegated to the township for more than ten years. When there is a trace of kindness to my Zhao family, how can I, Zhao Mingcheng, forget the people of the world because of my own selfishness. ”
Li Qingzhao said curiously: "What virtue does the Chao Heavenly King have, let you say as if only he can save the people of the world." ”
Zhao Mingcheng said with a smile: "King Chao Tianwang is jealous and hateful, and when he was in Liangshan, he acted for the heavens and killed corrupt officials to save the people. If he rules the world. How can traitors like Cai Jing have the opportunity to gain power. Moreover, after King Chao Tianwang became king, he was ready to exempt agricultural taxes, which shows that he loves the people, and if he rules the world, it will be the luck of all the people. ”
"Official."
While the two were talking, they only heard a sweet and glutinous voice outside.
Li Qingzhao's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the door unhappily.
"Squeak"
Zhao Mingcheng's newly acquired concubine pushed the door in, and when she saw Li Qingzhao, she was blessed. Said: "Ziyan meets my sister." ”
Although Li Qingzhao was unhappy, he still said: "Since my sister has entered the door, she is a family, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Purple smoke rises. Then he said crisply: "I have asked my sister to clean up the house, and my sister is not satisfied with going to see it." ”
After speaking, he said to Zhao Mingcheng: "Just now, Hou Jian asked someone to send a new official uniform, and I have put it away for the official." This Hou Jian is really worthy of being a first-hand tailor, and the clothes he makes are really exquisite. ”
Li Qing looked at Ziyan as a hostess, and couldn't help frowning. Zhao Mingcheng also accepted a few concubines before. There are also people who once wanted to take away Li Qingzhao's rights, but Li Qingzhao was devoted to poetry and gold and stone research, and she was happy to have someone take care of some chores at home for her, but in the end, it was her concession that was regarded as incompetent, and those people actually wanted to ride on her head.
After more than ten years, Li Qingzhao also knew that if she wanted to be peaceful, she had to deter these concubines in order to avoid a lot of trouble.
Li Qingzhao nodded and said, "Since I'm here, my sister won't have to worry about these things in the future." I still have some things to discuss with the officials, so you can go down. ”
Ziyan had already regarded herself as the hostess, and when she heard that Li Qingzhao actually seized power as soon as she came, and called her like a human being, she couldn't help but run to Zhao Mingcheng, twisted her body and said, "The official ......"
Zhao Mingcheng looked at the delicate concubine, and then looked at Li Qingzhao who looked unhappy next to him, so he had to pat Ziyan's hand and said, "You go down first, my wife and I still have something to discuss." ”
Ziyan didn't follow: "I want to accompany the officials." ”
Li Qingzhao frowned and said, "It's too rude, didn't the official tell her about family law?" ”
The Zhao family is a big family, so naturally there are many rules.
Zhao Mingcheng is already nearly forty years old, and suddenly got a twenty-eight beauty who is like a flower, how can he bear to tell her those family laws, and smiled unnaturally when he heard the words: "She is still a child, don't be too strict." ”
Li Qing took care of Zhao Mingcheng to protect this concubine like this, and he also knew why he wrote letters to go to Zizhou several times, but Zhao Mingcheng refused.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the study was getting more and more tense, Zhao Mingcheng also had a headache, one was his favorite concubine, and the other was his wife who had been in love with each other for more than ten years.
"Master, General Chao Yong is here."
Then another voice came from outside the house.
When Zhao Mingcheng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Li Qingzhao, and said, "The young general must have known that his wife was coming, so he came to pay a visit." He admired his wife's poetry very much, and had previously sent a team of personal soldiers to pick up his wife. Madame, come with me to the Major General. ”
Before Li Qingzhao could answer, Ziyan said again: "I'm going too." ”
When Zhao Mingcheng heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, how can you go to see the young general." ”
Li Qing glanced at Ziyan and said, "Only the wife is qualified to meet guests, so my sister is waiting here." ”
Ziyan watched Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao go out together, and she was also secretly ruthless.
After Chao Yong heard the report from his soldiers that Li Qingzhao was coming, he went straight to the mansion that had just been assigned to Zhao Mingcheng, and he was also very curious about this first talented woman in the ages.
Chao Yong sat in the hall, and actually found himself a little nervous, staring at the door for a while, only to see Zhao Mingcheng and a woman appear outside the house.
Li Qingzhao usually only dances and writes, and has no children, and looks like he is only in his thirties. The life is dignified and beautiful, full of intellectual beauty.
When Chao Yong saw Li Qingzhao, he unconsciously got up to meet him, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Chao Yong, I like your words very much." ”
Li Qingzhao looked at Chao Yong's outstretched hand and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ahem"
Zhao Mingcheng saw Chao Yong stretching out his hand to his wife, and he was also embarrassed, and he hurriedly cleared his throat.
Chao Yong was stunned for a moment, then he found that he subconsciously took out the etiquette of the future, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and said embarrassedly: "I can hear that when an overseas country sees someone I admire, it will shake hands and salute, which is a little abrupt, don't be surprised, madam." ”
The maritime trade of the Northern Song Dynasty was very developed, and Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao also heard a lot of foreign customs, and heard that there were some people who wanted to hug and kiss when they met.
Li Qingzhao said with a smile: "The general is in love, and there are countless talents who are better than little women in the world." The slave family also thanked the general for sending troops to escort him. ”
Chao Yong hurriedly said: "You're welcome, it's also my honor to be able to do something for Yi'an Jushi." ”
Li Qing was also very surprised to see Chao Yong showing love like this, and said with a smile: "I don't know what words the general likes about me?" ”
Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "The mist is thick and the clouds are sad for eternity, and the golden beast is sold in the brain. The festival is chongyang, the jade pillow yarn cupboard, the middle of the night is cool and the beginning is penetrated. After dusk, there is a dark fragrance on the sleeves. Mo Dao is not ecstatic, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. ”
When Li Qingzhao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then blushed with shame.
This poem was written by her to Zhao Mingcheng during this year's Double Ninth Festival, describing her loneliness and melancholy feelings of staying alone in the boudoir. wanted Zhao Mingcheng to take her to Zizhou and reunite the husband and wife, but somehow Chao Yong knew about it.
Li Qingzhao thought about it, this was all her resentment, and now it was as if her clothes had been stripped naked, exposed to Chao Yong's eyes. I couldn't help but blush with shame.
Chao Yong looked at Li Qingzhao on Xia Fei's cheeks, and felt that the person in front of him was full of attraction with a smile.
Zhao Mingcheng was puzzled: "This poem is a new work by Mrs. this year, how did the major general know this poem?" ”
"Huh?"
Chao Yong just remembered this poem, and when he heard Zhao Mingcheng ask like this, he was also stunned, thought about it, and said: "I usually like the words of Yi'an Jushi, so I bothered to collect some, but this poem was only recently learned from Zizhou, so as soon as Yi'an Jushi said it, I recited it." Lord Zhao, don't you often ask people to read poetry in the state, maybe my spies got it from them. ”
It turned out that Chao Yong knew that Zhao Mingcheng was afraid of death, so he sent someone to target Zhao Mingcheng early, and also found out some of Zhao Mingcheng's living habits to prevent Zhao Mingcheng from hiding when attacking the city.
Li Qingzhao heard that Zhao Mingcheng actually showed all the grievances she made indiscriminately, and couldn't help but be even more annoyed, glared at Zhao Mingcheng, and ignored him anymore.
Zhao Mingcheng was wronged in this matter, although he liked the new and hated the old, but he didn't want to talk about their boudoir with others.
At that time, after he received this poem, he was also amazed, but he was not willing to give up, so he closed the door to thank the guests, forgot to sleep and eat, and wrote fifty words for three days and three nights. Li Qingzhao's poem is also mixed into it, and Zizhou celebrities are invited to evaluate which poem is the best.
After carefully reading it again and again, I thought that those celebrities said: "Only three sentences are excellent." ”
Zhao Mingcheng originally thought that the three sentences must be in his words, but he didn't think that it was "Mo Dao is not ecstatic, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." It was Li Qingzhao's last three sentences.
Therefore, Zhao Mingcheng is also willing to bow to Li Qingzhao's poetry, but in this way, he doesn't want a wife who is still above him to come to his side.
Chao Yong also saw that Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng seemed to be at odds with each other, but he had also seen Li Qingzhao, thinking that he really had nothing to say to a big man, so he said: "I still have some military affairs, so I will leave first, and I will come to visit the two of you again in the future."
