Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strangely Deserted
"Oh?" Li Wenzhang's eyes lit up and said, "Yuanchen, what idea do you think of killing two birds with one stone?" ”
"My sister likes Yue Su, it has become a fact, with my sister's surname, it is definitely right or wrong that Yue Su will not marry. Yue Su is also a person with affection and righteousness, and if they want to achieve something quickly, they lack a person who threads the needle. The child thinks about it, there is only one person, as long as this person speaks, the marriage between my sister and Yue Su will definitely come to fruition. Not only that, but my sister will not humiliate my Li family because she is a flat wife, but will make my Li family beautiful. Li Yuanchen said with a smile.
"Being a flat wife will also make our Li family ......infinitely beautiful" Li Wenzhang is an old and spicy person after all, and after a little thought, he said: "In addition to the emperor's marriage, I am afraid that there is no second choice as you said." ”
"Father is wise." Li Yuanchen said with a smile.
"If the emperor can give him a marriage, it will naturally be glorious, and the limelight will also overshadow the main room. It's just the emperor, why would you give your sister a marriage? In the end, Li Wenzhang shook his head.
"Father, the emperor will not give his sister a marriage, but with the emperor's favor to Yue Su, it is normal to give him a marriage. Our Li family has made great efforts to help the disaster, and the emperor gave my sister and Yue Su a marriage as a commendation, so it is understandable. The only thing lacking is a person who has weight and can talk to the emperor. And this person is far away in the sky, close to ......" said Li Yuanchen raised his hand to the west.
Li Wenzhang reacted immediately, because Fang Congzhe lived in the West Cross Courtyard. "You mean you, Uncle Fang. I really want to help Uncle Fang return to the cabinet, but it all depends on Yue Su, your Uncle Fang didn't show up today, in fact, it was also because I didn't want Yue Su to think that we helped him so that he would say good things for your Uncle Fang in front of the emperor. But at that time, our idea was to let your sister marry Yue Su first, and then ask Yue Su to propose to the emperor to reinstate your Uncle Fang. But now it's going to be reversed. Will Yue Su agree in this way? ”
The child thought that Yue Su would agree. At present, the Donglin Party and the Wei Party are like two huge waves, rolling against each other, and Yue Su is like a flat boat, floating in the two huge waves, and there is a possibility of capsizing at any time. No matter how clever he is, he will gradually become overwhelmed, feeling isolated and in dire need of an ally. In the DPRK, all those who are outstanding are all Donglin or eunuchs, and Yue Su is ruthless, who is willing to form an alliance with him. Therefore, looking at the world, only Uncle Fang is left who has an identity, status, and is willing to ally with him. What is worse now is nothing more than a bridge for him to get acquainted with Uncle Fang. Didn't Yue Su say that he would definitely come, I plan to take this opportunity to make this bridge once and dial it out. At the moment, he won't agree, but I guess it won't be long before he does. Speaking of this, Li Yuanchen raised his head and said very much: "The decisive battle between the Donglin Party and Wei Eunuch is imminent, and their winner will go all out to suppress Yue Su." If Yue Su wants to save his surname, he must compromise with reality. ”
"It makes sense, I don't want my son to have such a talent, and my Li family has no worries about succession." After listening to his son's story, Li Wenzhang was full of emotion. I really didn't expect that my son, with such scheming and insight, the foundation of the Li family would definitely be carried forward in his son.
Yue Su said that he returned home, and with his current identity, he was hugging from front to back. In summer, even if the sky is dark, it is still hotter, especially in Henan, which is much hotter than Yanjing City. If it is Yanjing City, he pays attention to his identity, even if it is hot, he has to take a sedan chair, but here, he is the governor, he can get on the horse to manage the soldiers, ride the horse coolly, and go to sit in a sedan chair.
Riding on a horse, it was also calm all the way.
Yes, there are hundreds of guards alone, who dares to provoke him.
I went back to the palace, washed up, and went back to my bedroom to rest. As usual, he slept on the sofa and Ruan Aoyue slept on the bed. It can be said that in order to avoid laying on the ground in Henan, the sofa bed was pulled along with the honor guard.
Lying on the sofa, Yue Su couldn't sleep, and Li Qiongying's figure kept flashing in his mind. Especially the scene where Li Qiongying rushed into the flower hall, it was impossible to erase. Li Qiongying's tears, Li Qiongying's hug, Li Qiongying's excitement when she saw him, and Li Qiongying's true feelings.
"What should I do? What should I do? ”
He kept asking himself in his mind, but he never knew what to do. Men, many men in this world, don't understand women, and they don't understand feelings. Especially young men, they don't understand it even more.
Don't look at Yue Su as a person, but in his last life, there was only one woman in Li Lan, and the two of them were still the kind of two little people who didn't guess and grew up as childhood sweethearts. When you grow up, it comes naturally. Except for Li Lan, he didn't even have a little emotional entanglement with any woman, leaving behind his colleagues, not even a friend with a different surname.
It's better in this life, and I know a few more women. became close to Ruan Aoyue, but it didn't happen at all; put a beautiful lady like Du Shi Niang at home, and she didn't even touch it; Not to mention Fang Cai'er, everyone sent them love tokens, but he didn't agree; As for the county lord Mu Tianjiao, he didn't even think about it, he just thought about it as the county lord.
Yue Su was upset tonight, but he didn't know that the woman who had sex with him was not much better than him tonight.
Ruan Aoyue tossed and turned on the bed, and the sound of the people cheering in Bai Yue kept ringing in her head. Admired by all the people, the well-deserved blue sky, that is her husband, the man lying under the bed.
"Why do I always think of him in my heart? Why are the two of them so similar? Impossible......"
"I can't let him down, even if the person in front of me is as good......"
That night, neither of them knew when they fell asleep, and they didn't know that the other was just as troubled as they were.
The next morning, Yue Su finished breakfast and began to approve some official documents on disaster relief. Because it was the first time he had taken over such important matters, he had to decide most matters personally.
After finishing his official work, Yue Su couldn't help but think of Li Qiongyinglai, remembering that he had promised her last night that he would visit Li Mansion today. After hesitating for a while, he finally thought it was better not to break his promise, so he prepared a horse and went to Li's mansion.
Out of the yamen, he noticed that something was wrong, yesterday was the governor into the yamen, the brigade of soldiers in and out, need to clear the streets, no one on the street outside the door, it is normal. But everything is fine today, why is the street in front of the yamen still very quiet? Not even a walkway.
In his own Yanjing's Shuntian Mansion, there is no shortage of people buying and selling around the yamen, why is the governor's yamen so deserted. Perhaps, the governor was of high rank and authority, and no one dared to approach him. It's just that there aren't even a few aisles. It's also too deserted.
Wondering and bored, Yue Su still got on the horse and rushed towards the Li Mansion, and when he walked to the street, Yue Su found that he was a little popular, and there was a restaurant on the side of the intersection.
Yue Su turned his head and looked at the restaurant, where there were more than twenty people sitting around six or seven tables eating.
Before, Yue Su didn't feel abnormal, and continued to move forward surrounded by the guards, but when he walked out of the two streets, he realized that something was wrong. The two streets I just walked through are also very deserted, and it is rare to see two passers-by, how can there be so many people eating in the restaurant in such a quiet place? Unless it is, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the food in this restaurant is delicious, which attracts those who eat.
Yue Su doesn't pay attention to eating and drinking, but when he comes to Kaifeng for the first time, he always has to taste the authentic food of Kaifeng. Since this restaurant is good, when you are free, it is better to take Aoyue and them to taste it.
The Li Mansion was not very far from the Governor's Yamen, and not long after, Yue Su came to the Li Mansion, and there was no need to report his name, and there were already servants who rushed inward to report the news. The gatekeeper of the gate, knelt down to Yue Su to say goodbye, and took him into the courtyard, so you can't wait outside for the governor.
This time, Li Wenzhang did not come out to greet him in person, and only Li Yuanchen came alone. After meeting, he first bowed his hand, "I don't know if my brother is coming, and my younger brother is not welcome, please forgive me." My father went to visit a friend this morning, saying that he was discussing the purchase of winter clothes for his brother, but he has not returned. Brother, please ......"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture of please. Then he said: "My sister got up this morning and waited for my brother in the back garden, and sent people out from time to time to inquire and ask if my brother had arrived." Brother, either let's go to the back garden first, or she will complain about me again if she hears that you are coming, and I didn't inform her. ”
Li Yuanchen's words are exhaustive, and they do not leak.
Yue Su arched his hand and said: "Brother Xian is polite, I didn't expect my uncle to run around for my brother this morning, it's really unpleasant, and when we meet, I will definitely thank you again." I promised Sister Ling last night, and I will talk about it today, since my uncle is not here, let's go to her first. Please also ask the virtuous brother to lead the way. ”
"Brother, please!"
The two walked towards the back garden together, chatting while talking, but the conversation was just some unnutritious anecdotes, and occasionally Li Yuanchen had to flatter Yue Su for a few words.
Entering the back garden, don't look at this is just the Li family's courtyard, it is also beautifully built. Lakes and mountains, smoke and waves, rockery plum forests, pavilions and pavilions are everything.
Stepping on an arched bridge, I looked up and saw two young girls watching fish in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Li Yuanchen shouted loudly: "Sister, look who's coming." ”
The two girls in the pavilion, the young lady is dressed as Li Qiongying, and the maid is dressed as Lan'er. Li Qiongying heard her younger brother's shout, turned her head to look at the voice, and when she saw the familiar figure, she shouted excitedly, "Lord Yue......"
Then, he hung his head shyly. Just now, my own voice seems to be too loud.
Yue Su and Li Yuanchen came to the Huxin Pavilion together, and Lan'er hurriedly asked for peace, "The slave has seen Lord Yue, the eldest prince." ”
Yue Su nodded slightly, and then found that this maid was very familiar, and couldn't help asking, "...... are you?"
Lan'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Adults don't remember me, I'm the scholar of 'Li Gongzi'." Hee-hee...... It's good for adults to call me Lan'er in the future......" After speaking, he laughed and grimaced at Yue Su. This girl is really naughty, but this is also known that Yue Su is easy-going.
Yue Su smiled and nodded, looking at Li Qiongying, it didn't matter when she saw this, she immediately recalled that she had seen this girl before, wasn't it the girl who had helped her in the political envoy's mansion. still remembers that this girl claimed to be the sister of the "Li Ying" brother at that time.
"You...... You are the brother of 'Li Ying'......"
