readx; The time of the family banquet is generally very long, and there is generally nothing to do at night, the banquet is also a party, talking, chatting, and the time has passed, unconsciously, the time has passed almost two hours, it is already dark, the little grandson Dugu Zhi has slept, his mother carried him back to the room, and the family banquet has become a gathering for several adults to discuss the current situation, Dugu Changfeng tells everyone about the drought in Henan Province and the livelihood of the past two years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"In recent years, Henan Province has suffered disasters almost every year, when the general was the observer envoy of Henan Province, Henan Province suffered from drought at that time, but it was still a small disaster, last year was also a drought, Xuzhou, Bianzhou's autumn grain harvest was reduced by forty percent, and this spring there was a locust plague, with Songzhou and Bianzhou being the worst, those locusts were overwhelming, everything was swept away, and in the summer, it rained heavily again, the Yellow River burst its embankment in Heyin County, and the three counties of Heyin County, Xingze County and Yuanwu County were submerged, and tens of thousands of people died."

Dugu Changfeng sighed and said: "So the Anxi officials mobilized immigrants in the disaster area, although the distance is daunting, there are still so many people who want to go, and they really can't survive." ”

Li Qingan nodded, and asked again: "Then if I recruit another 50,000 immigrants in Henan Province and expand it to 100,000 immigrants, do you think it may be a big surname?" ”

Dugu Changfeng thought for a while and said: "100,000 households may be a little more, Bianzhou has a total of only 57,000 households, Xuzhou has a little more people, it is 73,200 households, but other states are small, Caizhou is only 12,000 households, Huazhou is 13,000 households, Chenzhou is only more than 6,000 households, I estimate that with the addition of black households and fugitive slaves, 70,000 households may be realized, but 100,000 households is a bit unrealistic." ”

Pei Min also persuaded: "General, the immigrants must come step by step, and when the first batch is successfully passed, and the resettlement is good, there is a lesson to be learned, I think it will be much easier to mobilize later." ”

A few people were talking about immigration and disaster reduction, Mingzhu was pretending to listen at first, but gradually she also began to doze off, and she saw that the other two girls were also tired, so she quietly pulled them, and the three girls slipped out of the small living room and came outside.

Mingzhu took a long breath of fresh air, and smiled at Wan'er and Pei Yu: "Let's go to the West Market!" It's very close to the West Market, so let's go buy some incense powder. ”

Pei Wan'er shook her head and said, "If I didn't say anything to my family beforehand, I won't go, you can go!" ”

Pei Yu has always had no opinions, Wan'er doesn't go, she naturally won't go, Mingzhu saw Wan'er pushing, couldn't help frowning and said: "You are really boring, your guts are smaller than a rabbit, when I was as old as you, I went to Anxi alone!" In the future, when you marry your husband, it is estimated that your husband will tell you to go east, and you will not dare to go west, hey! Can't you live a little more freely? ”

Although Pei Wan'er is not very old, her surname is very old, she doesn't argue with Mingzhu, she just smiled, and said: "Why don't we go to my sister-in-law to learn how to embroider brocade!" I've seen her brocade and it's really amazing. ”

"It amazes you, but it gives me a headache."

Mingzhu pursed her lips and said lazily: "This girl has three fears, one is afraid of learning embroidery, the second is afraid of studying to death, and the third is afraid of being blind date."

Speaking of this, Mingzhu's mind suddenly flashed, she thought of a fun thing, and smiled: "I'm really stupid, I forgot all the ready-made things, you come with me." ”

She took the two daughters of the Pei family and ran towards the hall, "Mingzhu, what do you want to show us?" ”

"You'll find out when you come."

Mingzhu ran into the main hall of Dugu Mansion, she ran to a three-foot-high copper thin-necked vase in the corner of the main hall, there was a bouquet of silk fake flowers in the vase, Mingzhu carefully pulled out the fake flowers, put them on the table, she turned around and smiled mysteriously: "What did you think of?" ”

Pei Yu smiled: "Mingzhu, do you want to play with the pot?" ”

"That's right, I've measured this copper kettle, and it's exactly the same size as the official kettle, anyway, we're okay now, let's play the kettle throwing game, what do you say?"

Pot throwing game is suitable for men and women of all ages, regardless of the famous family or the small people, almost every household has throwing arrows and copper kettles, just like now almost every household has a pair of mahjong, Pei's family will also get together after the banquet to throw arrows, Pei family two daughters are very fond of it.

"This game is good, I like it!" Pei Yu clapped his hands happily.

Wan'er also smiled and nodded, indicating that she was willing to play this game, but as soon as she changed her mind, she looked around and asked, "What about the arrows?" Also marking, how to draw, this is a guest hall, can you play here? ”

"It's okay, I'll always play in the guest hall."

Mingzhu rolled up his sleeves, reached into the copper kettle, took out five iron arrows from it, and said with a smile: "I have always put this arrow in it." ”

She put the copper kettle in the middle of the guest hall, took four tea bowls from the table, put them on the carpet in turn, clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, the four tea bowls represent the five-foot line, one zhang line, two zhang line and three zhang line, let's be careful, don't step on the tea bowl." ”

Mingzhu took three arrows, ran two feet away, took aim, threw three arrows in a row, and only heard 'Boom!' Boom! Boom! Three shots, three arrows were thrown into the copper kettle.

"How? It's okay! Mingzhu smiled triumphantly.

Although the two daughters of the Pei family often throw arrows, they don't have the ability to Mingzhu, Wan'er was surprised: "Mingzhu, you can go to the competition." ”

"Of course, I've been practicing for a whole year, and I can throw eight arrows out of ten arrows outside three zhang, and I was the second place in the pot throwing competition in Wubenfang last year."

Pei Yu was deflated when he heard this, and said, "What's the game then, you win anyway." ”

"You two silly girls, it's not the three of us playing, isn't my brother-in-law here? Today I will defeat him and let him taste the power of this girl. ”

Mingzhu handed them the arrows and said with a smile: "You wait, I'll go and find him." ”

Looking at Mingzhu happily walking away, Pei Yu whispered to Wan'er: "Sister Wan'er, it seems that she is also a little ..... Li Qing'an."

"Don't say it, my head hurts a little, I want to go out for a walk, you wait for the pearl here! When she comes, you tell her that I don't want to play, so I'll go home first. ”

Pei Yu understood Wan'er's thoughts, so she nodded, and Wan'er left in a hurry.

Mingzhu ran back to the small guest hall like a gust of wind, but she was a little stunned when she entered the door, her uncle, father and eldest brother were all there, but Li Qingan was missing, she quietly walked to the eldest brother and asked, "Big brother, where is my brother-in-law?" ”

"Didn't he go to you? Why, didn't come across? Dugu Changfeng said with a smile.

"Strange, where did he go to find us?" Mingzhu muttered to herself, she turned around and walked out of the small guest hall again, and happened to meet a maid coming over, so she asked her, "Chun Tao, have you seen your uncle?" ”

The maid pointed to the small garden to the east and said with a smile, "I saw my uncle go over there." ”

Mingzhu knew that there was a pavilion over there, and it was estimated that Li Qingan had gone to the pavilion, so she walked quickly in the direction of the pavilion.

．．．．．．． Today, Li Qing'an worked hard all day, he was really a little tired, just drank a few more glasses, and then came out to find three girls through wine, at this time, he heard the bell from the temple, the bell was melodious, he was attracted by the bell, and unconsciously came to the East Garden.

The east garden of Dugu Mansion is actually a pond, covering an area of about three acres, which is full of lotus, and paves a path straight to the pond, at the end of the path is a pavilion, located in the center of the pond, this pavilion is called 'sitting with the lotus', it is a good place to enjoy the lotus flowers in summer, but at this time it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the lotus flowers have been thanked, the lotus leaves have gradually turned yellow and withered, and it is the season to dig the lotus root in another month.

Li Qing'an walked close to the pavilion, looked up, but saw that there seemed to be someone in the pavilion, and then looked closely, it was actually a woman, with a beautiful complexion, a long and slender hairpin, a hairpin in the shape of a swallowtail with a drooping head, a graceful body and jade body, dressed in a light green Luo Yi long skirt, shining under the moonlight scattering, she was sitting on the railing, as if enjoying the scenery of the lotus pond on the autumn night.

Li Qingan suddenly recognized this woman, it turned out to be Pei Wan'er, why is she here alone? Under the moonlight, he saw that Pei Wan'er's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with a hint of sorrow, so he slowly approached the pavilion and said with a smile: "Miss Pei! ”

Pei Wan'er was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Li Qing'an standing at the entrance of the pavilion, looking at her with a smile, Pei Wan'er was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up, her heart was pounding hard, she lowered her head, and whispered: "General Li, why are you here?" ”

"I heard a bell ringing, and I was attracted to it, but I didn't expect there to be a gazebo here, so I came to see you."

Li Qingan slowly approached her and said with a smile: "Why aren't you with Mingzhu Pei Yu?" ”

"They want to play pot throwing, and I don't have any interest, so I just go out for a walk, and I'm going back soon."

"Sit a little longer, don't be in such a hurry to go back, it's rare to see you."

Li Qing'an said this sentence unintentionally, but when he said it, he found that there was a language problem in this sentence, if it was a friend relationship, it would be nothing, but he and the Pei family had reached an agreement on marriage, which means that Pei Wan'er was going to marry him, so that the relationship between them was extraordinary, and Li Qing'an said this sentence with a special meaning.

Li Qingan originally wanted to change his words, but it can be seen that Pei Wan'er lowered her head, her pretty face was flushed, her eyes were full of affection, and she was overjoyed, so cute, she swallowed back the words just about to speak.

The two had nothing to say for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward, Li Qingan looked around and said, "This pond is not bad, I can imagine the situation full of lotus flowers in summer, Miss Pei, do you like lotuses?" ”

"Hmmm! There is also a pond in the back garden of my house, planted with lotus flowers, in summer, the garden is full of fragrance, but I prefer the spring, the new green, the fragrance of the lotus leaves, the lotus has revealed a small corner, that kind of artistic conception I can hardly describe. ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "It's the little lotus that shows the sharp corners, and there are dragonflies standing on their heads, it's this kind of artistic conception, right!" ”

Pei Wan'er whispered it twice, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed: "It's this kind of artistic conception, the general's poem, it's really well portrayed." ”

"Huh! In my spare time, I occasionally write poems, such as this pond of residual lotus, in fact, there is also an artistic conception, just to see if you will appreciate, to experience, a few days ago has been the autumn rain, if it is me, I will come to this pavilion, close my eyes and listen to the rustle of the rain on the lotus leaves, this artistic conception is called 'autumn yin does not disperse the frost flies late, leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain. ’”

Different from people who use famous cars to chase girls, the Tang people use poetry to pursue girls, a good poem is enough to impress the heart, at the beginning, Li Qingan used 'drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp' moved Mingyue, and today he concocted the same method, using the poems of Spring Lotus and Autumn Lotus to knock on Pei Wan'er's heart.

In fact, Li Qing'an is more out of a kind of pity for Pei Wan'er, Pei Wan'er and his name have been decided, even if he drinks and goes crazy in front of Pei Wan'er, it will not change the fact that Pei Wan'er will marry him, but he feels that he should use a little warmth to impress the heart of the beauty, so that Pei Wan'er can also taste the taste of love.

Sure enough, the sentence 'leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain' made Pei Wan'er's eyes reveal a hazy and intoxicated color, and after a long time, she sighed in a low voice: "The autumn clouds do not disperse and the frost flies late, leaving the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain, what a poignant artistic conception." ”

She turned around and saluted Li Qing'an Yingying, and said gratefully: "Thank you General Li for your poems, so that the little girl can also experience such a beautiful poetry." ”

At this time, a gust of night wind blew, making people feel a hint of autumn coolness, Li Qingan saw that Wan'er's dress was thin, so he said softly: "Miss Wan'er, let's go back!" ”

"Hmm!" Pei Wan'er nodded obediently, and followed Li Qing'an out of the pavilion, out of the pavilion, Li Qing'an turned to the right, there was not a way back, but a willow forest that did not occupy a large area, Pei Wan'er hesitated, but still followed Li Qing'an and walked forward slowly.

Li Qing'an's pace slowed down, let Pei Wan'er walk side by side with him, and walked a few steps silently, Li Qing'an gently grabbed Pei Wan'er's soft and smooth jade hand, Pei Wan'er struggled slightly, but she couldn't break free of Li Qing'an's hand, she was ashamed, her head twisted to the side, and she blocked the jade cheek with the back of her other hand, but her eyes showed joy.

Li Qing'an took Pei Wan'er like this, walked towards the willow forest step by step, and his heart began to burn up, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a coquettish voice behind him: "What are you doing!" ”

Frightened, the two hurriedly let go of their hands, and when they turned around, they saw Mingzhu staring at them with anger on her face, and her eyes were almost bursting with fire. She rushed to find them in a hurry, but she did not expect to see a scene that made her extremely angry: they were holding hands.

Mingzhu was so angry that she almost lost her mind, she ran a few steps, but stopped suddenly, her chest was violent, she tried to restrain the anger in her heart, stared at Li Qingan and said: "Brother-in-law, my sister is not here, you do this kind of thing, are you worthy of your sister?" ”

Only then did Li Qingan realize that Mingzhu didn't know that he was engaged to Wan'er, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, so he said softly to Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, things are not what you think. ”

"What can I think!"

Mingzhu's voice choked, she turned her head to look at the round of Lone Moon in the sky, her lips were almost bitten, and she said in a trembling voice: "Who am I, can I care about you?" You are His Royal Highness King Zhao, you can have as many women as you want, I am just a green and astringent fruit, how can I be qualified to care about you, but this is my home, even if you like sweet apples, you can't pick them here, bully me like this. ”

After speaking, Mingzhu's tears rained down, she turned around and ran, ran to a tree, she fell on the tree, and cried bitterly.
