Chapter 1053: The Ancient Serpent Carrying the River
Chapter 1067 Ancient Snake Carrying River
Li Chengqian's grain requisition not only involves Li Shimin's heart, but Changle also cares about this matter. Since he heard that Old Man Cheng planted wheat in March, Changle was laughed at angrily, if you want to say shameless, it is estimated that there is really no one in Chang'an City who can compare to this old goblin.
Cheng Ling'er's face was also not bright, but who let that be her father, and finally squeezed out a little smile cheekily, "Madam, maybe the seeds my father found are special!" ”
"Okay, Ling'er, what else is there to justify this, whose wheat is planted in March, and then it can still produce ears of wheat?" Changle said it, Cheng Ling'er blushed, hey, that dad is too good at playing, isn't this a joke with pure intentions, even if you plant crops, focus on potatoes or something.
Wang Danyi sat there and laughed vigorously, now there is no old man in the capital, almost all those old men are like this, even Du Ruhui is hiding, "Madam, why don't we have some food?" Last year's harvest was good, and it was okay to take some out. ”
"Hehe, Danyi, this matter is not ours, we have to listen to the old man, do you think this is just a matter of food? If you want to talk about food, which family in Chang'an has no surplus grain? ”
"Madam, listen to what you mean, it seems that there are some of these things that can't be said?" Wang Danyi also heard that Changle's words had other meanings, and seeing that several people were listening with their ears open, Changle said with a smile, "The things in this court can't just look at the surface, these people care about that bit of food, they just don't know how much to take." For example, if our family comes up with 10,000 catties of grain at once, it will be considered a start, and the people who will deliver food later, even if it is less than 10,000 catties, it cannot be too little. That's what went wrong. If you don't want to have more food, will you blame our family? But if our family has less children, the eldest brother and father will also be unhappy, so no one wants to come forward. ”
"It's really, it sounds complicated enough, no wonder the old man is very stable these days, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all!" The red clothes are used to walking the rivers and lakes, and it is the first time to listen to the doorway of the court, and a little thing is complicated to such a point, it seems that this official is not so easy to be.
"What's the use of being in a hurry? I can't say that I can only use the grain stored in the national treasury to top it first. After all, the victims of Taihang Mountain can't wait. Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, and if it's winter, this lack of clothes and quilts will have to freeze some people to death! ”
Changle was still worried here, and the thrush ran in in a panic. After contemplating his eyebrows and asking, he realized that the prince Li Chengqian had come to the house. Now the old man is gone. It can only be Changle out of the horse.
The thrush led Li Chengqian directly to the West Cross Courtyard. Coming to the living room, Changle poured Li Chengqian a cup of hot tea first, "Big brother, you haven't been criticized by those old things these days, right?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, my brother's leg is about to break. I just got so much food, and now my father is in a hurry to jump off the wall! No, there's no way, I can only come to you for my brother! Li Chengqian knew that Changle had food in his hands. Last year, the Zhuangzi of the Princess's Mansion, plus the grain stored for winemaking, Changle was still able to take out some of the grain.
Li Chengqian came in person, and Changle couldn't refuse, they are brothers and sisters, plus the relationship between their husband and the emperor's brother, when will they help if they don't help at this time. However, Changle frowned and laughed in a low voice, "Big brother, there is no problem for the little sister to be the master of the Fang family, and the little sister can also take out five thousand stones in her hand, but the eldest brother is not allowed to publicize this matter, and it must be kept secret." And even when you talk to someone, you have to say that this is a private contribution from the little sister, and it has nothing to do with the Fang family. ”
Changle knew very well in her heart that she wanted to help Li Chengqian, but she is now the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, and her words and deeds represent the Fang family. Looking at Changle's delicate face, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, you girl, your elbows are all turned to Fang Jun's side." You put this food first, and when you give food, you can't say it to anyone, isn't this a problem for your brother? ”
Li Chengqian is now thinking about finding a family to set an example, and after thinking about several families, he finally thought of coming to Changle, who would have thought that this imperial sister seemed to have been prepared.
Li Chengqian shook his head and walked out of the West Cross Courtyard, Changle sat in the room and sighed, this kind of thing, she has no place to do it, it would be good if her husband was here, with his cleverness, maybe he can come up with some good way.
Changle thought about Fang Yiai, but what Fang Ergongzi was thinking about was Xiao Mu'er, not that Fang Yiai wanted to think about it, it was really Xiao Mu'er standing in front of him, he couldn't do it if he didn't want to. Yangzhou Taoran Pavilion, the second son of Fang sat on a bamboo bench on all fours, like a swinger. Xiao Mu'er pursed her lips and looked like she couldn't cry or laugh, and after a while, she pointed at Fang Yiai and reproached, "Fang Jun, you are more or less a general, so you can't take care of your image, if you don't know, I thought there was another gentleman in Yangzhou City." ”
"Hey, I said Mu'er, do you know this son, this son doubts whether we are married or not!" Fang Er Gongzi shook his head, looking so depressed.
Xiao Mu'er didn't expect Fang Yiai to say such a thing, got up and walked to the bamboo stool, lifted the embroidered shoes and kicked Fang Yiai in the face. Who is the second son of Fang, he has long been guarding against Xiao Mu'er's move, he sat up, stretched out his arm, and took the angry Xiao Meiren in his arms.
Sitting on Fang Yiai's lap, Xiao Mu'er still hummed angrily, "You have no conscience, do you want to leave this girl aside?" ”
"Hey, wronged, Mu'er, what my son said just now is the truth, you really said the wrong thing. Think about it, what kind of person is Fang, that is a shameless prodigal gentleman, the three major gentlemen in the capital back then, but he was famous? So, you have to understand me, so that's how husband and wife, what do you say? Saying that, Fang Yiai didn't care whether Xiao Meiren wanted it or not, and the big mouth was printed.
Xiao Mu'er scraped the saliva on her face, and scolded with tears and laughter, "You are a fool, how can you say that you are a shameless villain, don't you know how to write shameful characters?" ”
"Hehe, don't you like this shameless energy? Well, no kidding. Tell me, you don't stay well in the capital, why did you come to Yangzhou with you, is it lonely and can't do without my son? Fang Yiai felt very good about herself, but Xiao Mu'er slapped him very facelessly, "Let you talk nonsense, do you think this girl wants to come, it's not for that Hongwenfeng's matter." Here's a record I found from the ancestral hall that should be useful to you! ”
Xiao Mu'er took out a piece of bamboo slip from her sleeve, and there were small words written on it, and Fang Yiai didn't rush to see the content on the bamboo slip, but said with a smile. "Mu'er, it's just a bamboo slip. You don't have to make a trip yourself. Why, aren't you telling me the truth? ”
Xiao Mu'er knew that she couldn't hide this clever and eccentric Fang Erlang, so she pillowed on his shoulder and whispered, "I didn't want to hide it from you, but fortunately, I told you everything, my father meant to find the treasure of Hongwenfeng." can not destroy the coffin of our Xiao family ancestor. ”
"Ah, it's been a long time since your old man became superstitious!" As soon as Fang Yiai's words were finished, he was punched by Xiao Mu'er, "How can you speak, this is called respect for the ancestors!" ”
"Yes. You respect your ancestors, can you also respect your husband, don't fight it? The second son of Fang nagged, and Xiao Mu'er stopped making trouble, and then Fang Yiai opened the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully. According to the bamboo slips, at the end of the Jin Dynasty, there was a big flood in ancient Yangzhou, when the river water poured into the Snake River, causing the water level of the Snake River to rise sharply, and also washed away a hillside along the coast. Fortunately, the hillside was washed away, and if there was no collapsed stone to block the flow of water, Guyangzhou would have been flooded.
Looking at the content on the bamboo slips, Fang Yiai frowned and thought that according to the topography near Yangzhou, it should be high in the northwest and low in the southeast. If the water level rises and pours into Yangzhou City, it can only flow from the northwest to the southeast. According to the old people, there was water in the valley, but for some reason, there was no water source, and now, it has become a dry small valley.
If there was really water in the Hiss Valley back then, would this Hissing Valley be the end of the Snake River back then? If so, if you look south along the Hiss Valley, you will definitely find traces of the ancient snake river.
Fang Yiai is a person who does what he says, and after he asked people to go back and give a notice, he led Xiao Mu'er out of Yangzhou City on horseback. If it is almost evening today, Xiao Mu'er is a little angry in her heart, "Fang Jun, it's almost dark, can't you go again tomorrow?" ”
"This is a matter of urgency, how can you wait until tomorrow, don't worry, there is this son, and I am afraid that someone will rob you?" Fang Yiai said, and one hand touched Xiao Meiren's mouth dishonestly, which made Xiao Mu'er blush and heartbeat.
"It's still robbed, this girl is afraid of being robbed by you, you bastard and thief!" Xiao Mu'er is not usually like this, but whenever she is with Fang Yiai, she can't help but want to fight with him.
Bandits? Fang Yiai's eyes rolled, it's good to be a bandit, do you want to find a secluded place tonight to correct Xiao Meiren? Hehe, it's still possible, no one followed anyway, so no one would care if Xiao Mu'er screamed and broke her throat.
In the courtyard of Yangzhou, after getting the news that Fang Yiai was out of the city, Wu Cao snorted a little unhappily, but Zheng Niangzi was very generous, she took Wu Erniang's hand and said with a lot of experience, "Mei Niang, don't be jealous, your brother-in-law can spoil you, don't worry, that Xiao Mu'er can't compare to you." ”
"Wu Erniang's heart is fluttering, this Zheng Liwan is simply a goblin, how can she see through other people's minds at a glance?
In the Taiji Palace of Chang'an City, Concubine Yang slowly stirred the strings with her fingers, and the sound of the piano was melodious, the only bad thing was that there was no audience. I don't know when, the sound of the piano stopped, and a palace maid said cautiously, "Concubine Yang, His Royal Highness King Wu went out of the palace to hunt yesterday. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Yang frowned deeply, hunting, now that there is a mess in the court, is he still in the mood to hunt? Hey, this son, after all, he still can't pass the level in his heart, Concubine Yang doesn't plan to do anything, if his heart can't settle down, no one can help him.
Concubine Yang thought of Fang Yiai, in her heart, Fang Yiai is a special person, I hope he can help Li Ke get through this hurdle.
Li Ke did not hunt, he left Chang'an City, and rode to Shangzhou, at this time he had only one purpose, that is, to go to Jiangnan, no matter what was buried on Hongwen Peak, he should go to see.
Li Ke thinks that he is no worse than anyone else, he is not inferior to Li Chengqian in terms of talent and morality, and he is even more outstanding in terms of benevolence and filial piety, but just because of his bloodline, he is destined to be far from that position. Will you be willing? Of course not, Li Ke hopes that Hong Wenfeng can give him an answer, if he will die, he also hopes to die vigorously, but this is a little sorry for the concubine.
