Chapter 289: Hidden Secrets in the Garden

Li Han made a look of sudden realization of this hidden danger, and after a pause, he said sincerely: "Zuo Gong's words are reasonable, but this matter is widely implicated, and I have to think about it."

In this way, I will stay in Wu County for the next few days, and after I discuss with Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu Pingyanghou, I will reply to you when I have a mature idea, right? ”

Zuo Wen knew that this kind of thing of competing for interests could not be achieved overnight, and it would definitely take time to grind with water, what he was most afraid of was that Li Han would board the boat after eating, and now he heard that Li Han wanted to stay, of course, he couldn't ask for it, he was ecstatic, and agreed one after another.

Walking out of the tavern, under the mysterious leadership of Zuo Wen, the group walked to the residence, Li Han was not familiar with Wu County and didn't feel anything, but Liu Wu muttered in his heart: "Why don't we go to the county guard yamen or the post station?" But he made up his mind that this time he would follow Li Han to make a fortune, so he would not stop Zuo Wen.

The answer was soon revealed, the team stopped at one place, everyone got out of the carriage, everyone was very happy, and Li Han immediately let out a sigh of praise: "Ah, the small bridge and flowing water, the willows are still around, it's really a good place!" ”

This place is so beautiful, a winding path on the side of the cobblestone road, a manor with red walls and green tiles, the gate of the courtyard is a clear river, the two banks are planted with weeping willows, as far as the eye can see, there is a stone bridge, there are stone steps on the side of the bridge, there are several Wu women are washing clothes on the stone steps, Bai Shengsheng's calves are soaked in the water, Bai Shengsheng's wrists are rubbing clothes, a delicate Wu Nong's soft words faintly came, this scene is simply difficult to describe, it is really refreshing.

Zuo Wen said with a smile: "This is the garden of a local businessman, I just bought it and built it, and before I moved in, I heard that a group of nobles came, and he was willing to dedicate the garden to everyone to rest, saying that he wanted to touch the rich atmosphere of the God of Wealth." ”

Cao Shou likes to scratch his ears and cheeks, and use the excuse to look at the water. Just leaned towards the stone bridge in order to see the beauty up close, Liu Li and Liu Wu were commenting on the weather, only Li Han smiled bitterly, pointed Zuo Wen with his finger and said, "You Zuo Gong, it's just ......"

Zuo Wen was very satisfied with Li Han's expression, and said with a smile: "I know that the lord likes elegant scenery, as long as it is satisfactory, you can relax your fingers." The leaked share of Hangzhou City is enough for the officials to take care of all face, isn't it? ”

Li Han said helplessly: "I really can't take your dog skin plaster, don't you want this official to owe you a favor first, and finally have to tilt towards your local interests?" How does this work? ”

Zuo Wen said ghostly: "Sir, look at General Liu and Pingyang Marquis, the king of Liang, they are very satisfied with this place, because you can't live here alone, do you think it's appropriate?" ”

Li Han looked at Cao Shou, who had already started talking to the woman who was doing the laundry, and then looked at Liu Li and Liu Wu who were full of spring breeze, rubbed his nose and said stupidly: "It's okay." got on your thief ship, Duke Zuo, you have to be careful, if I return to Beijing, I may ask the emperor to transfer you to the Shaofu. You just want the benefits for Huiji County, and you can't enjoy it yourself. ”

Hearing Li Han's complaints, Zuo Wen's eyes suddenly widened, and he was like a hungry wolf seeing mutton. He was pinching Li Han's arm, panting and roaring in a low voice: "Shaofu Cheng is serious? ”

Li Han was already speechless about the habit of the men of the Han Dynasty, especially the old men, who would "attack" as soon as they were excited. And he was very surprised by Zuo Wen's performance, it stands to reason that as a magistrate, Nuo Dahuiji County is Zuo Wen's own decision, but it is much more majestic than Tian Fat Man in the capital.

Although Jiuqing is also a department member, he can catch up with the ministerial-level cadres of later generations, but there are still three emperors above his head, where is there a place where the emperor is far away and comfortable, why is this superb old fox in a hurry to return to Beijing?

From another point of view, Li Han is very happy to see Zuo Wen's attitude, because after today's observation, he has been very confident in Zuo Wen's personal ability, he doesn't plan to keep that Shaofu Cheng going, but his career in Shaofu is too important, and he is really a little uneasy to hand over to Tian Fatzi's hand-off shopkeeper, if he can let Zuo Wen serve as the secretary of Shaofu, even if he leaves Chang'an to fight at the border pass, or goes to the local area to supervise the development, there is no need to worry about the instability of the rear.

Therefore, Li Han endured Zuo Wen's "attack" very, very hard, rubbed his nose and said: "Zuo Gong, as long as you are willing to spend money in Jiangnan, I wish you would go back to Beijing to help me take care of Shaofu." ”

Zuo Wen's hand tightened, and he choked up and said, "So, thank you for your great kindness......"

Li Han was even more surprised, staring at Zuo Wen, but still didn't ask anything, patted Zuo Wen's shoulder with difficulty with his other hand and whispered: "This matter will be discussed again, let's go in and rest." ”

Zuo Wen glanced at the other three who had begun to pay attention to them, quickly turned his back and raised his sleeves to quickly wipe his tears, turned his face to the smiling Maitreya Buddha again, and beckoned everyone into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, it is even more exquisite, everywhere is full of blooming chrysanthemums, as well as the fragrant osmanthus, as well as the moon season, hidden in the middle of the clusters of green bamboo and green trees, with the green lotus leaves in the lotus pond and a pool of blue water.

The cobblestone path, leading to the houses with white walls and black tiles, is small and soft everywhere, although the scenery is slightly crowded, and the boxy architectural style of Chang'an City is very different, but it has a unique Jiangnan style.

Walking into the house all the way, Li Handeng's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Why has the furniture style of my house been pirated by you?" ”

Yes, there are authentic Li furniture in the room, and a full set of black lacquered and shiny Eight Immortal tables and chairs.

Liu Li laughed and said, "Hahaha, Zuo Gong, I didn't expect you to buy the tables and chairs I sold at a high price?" Why didn't I see you at the store? ”

Zuo Wen also smiled: "How can you forget, this is not my home, but the mansion of businessman Liu Mo, of course, this furniture is also bought by others, as for whether it is specifically for the hobby of Shaofucheng, the lower officials don't know." ”

Li Han laughed with everyone at first, feeling that these businessmen were really doing everything in order to get a share of the development of Hangzhou City, and they were not sure whether they would stay here, so they prepared exquisite gardens in advance to please them.

However, when Li Han suddenly realized that the name "Liu Mo" became more and more familiar the more he tasted it, his face slowly became solemn.

Everyone didn't notice the change in Li Han's expression, and after chatting for a while, they all said that they were tired and wanted to rest.

Zuo Wen had already divided the rooms, and everyone lived in a courtyard alone, neither far nor disturbing each other, and it seemed that they had indeed taken great pains to prepare.

What was arranged for Li Han to live was a large courtyard on the right side of the garden, and there was a large pond in the courtyard, the lotus flowers in it were gone, and the lotus pods were also dried up on it, only the lotus leaves were still lush and green, and occasionally there were red carp shining on the water surface.

There is a large piece of bamboo planted on the side of the pool, next to a rockery, the rockery is a piece of Taihu Lake stone piled up into a landscape, and there are mountain stone caves to communicate, very winding path through the wonderful place.

Li Han just sat on a rock, looking down at the fish in the lake, a pair of soft little hands on his shoulders, the strength of the right to help him knead it, when he looked back, but saw a beautiful girl, looking at him with admiring eyes, and then looked into the house, only to see the beauty of the shadow, it seems that there are several beauties busy with work.

"Sir, is the little maid's hand strength still suitable?"

Li Han nodded and asked casually, "You are all maids here?" ”

Unexpectedly, this girl was not afraid of people, and said with a delicate chuckle: "Hehe, it's not either." ”

"Oh?"

"We are six sisters, all of whom are women from good families in Wu Land, and the master of this room, Liu Mo, bought us, and did not use us as maids, but treated us completely according to the specifications of the eldest lady, and specially invited us to teach us the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dancing, singing, and singing.

Therefore, the little maid is your maid, you are here, we are the maid here, if you are not here, we will not. ”

Li Han asked, "How long have you been bought to teach?" ”

"It's been three years, the slaves have been in since they were fourteen years old, and now they are seventeen years old, and they have been waiting for you for so long, sir......"

Li Han's heart froze, but he still said in a calm tone: "From the beginning, it was the six of you, or was there anything else?" ”

The woman looked taken aback, rolled her eyes and smiled again: "No wonder the little lady said that you have at least 10,000 hearts and eyes, and you guessed it!" Indeed, at first ......"

Li Han's eyes became excited, he kept staring at the pool, so the woman didn't know about his emotional changes, as for his tense muscles, as for Li Han, who washed his face every day and Chu Tiangong martial arts, it was completely easy to control.

"At first, we were ten sisters, but then the little lady was leaving, and Liu Mo asked the four sisters to accompany us, and there were only six of us left."

Li Han reluctantly held back his mind and kept his voice calm: "Isn't the bottle different from you?" Why did she have to take four with her when she left? ”

"Oh my God, of course it's different!" The woman exaggerated and whispered: "The little lady in the bottle is the daughter of Liu Mo's big official, she is going to marry Dongyang, and the big official gave four dowries." ”

"Oh......"

Perhaps hearing a deep regret from Li Han's tone, the woman smiled and said, "Sir, do you think the six of us are too little to serve you?" It doesn't matter, Liu Mo's senior officials have admiration for you, you just need to say it, he can find you as much as you want, but it may not be as suitable as the six sisters who are so dedicated to learning and serving you. (To be continued......)
