748 The will of the people
"Senior brother, do you think this is appropriate? Well, it seems a little old, I'll find another good one for you. Xiao Niang picked up a white robe and just wanted to put it on Liu Yuan, but suddenly found that it was a little old, and couldn't help but say to herself.
"Don't bother, just this one." Liu Yuan said indifferently: "Now it's going to the institute, not going to the court, just do it, if you accidentally tear your clothes that are too good, you have to be busy again." ”
In ancient times, there were no sewing machines, most women were proficient in embroidery, needle money and other skills, as if they couldn't needlework was not a complete woman, up to Cui Mengyao, who was born in a famous family, and down to Du Sanniang, who was out of Qinglou, Liu Yuan's clothes were not made by the hands of tailors, all of them were Cui Mengyao and they sewed for Liu Yuan with a needle and a thread, and Liu Yuan also cherished these clothes.
The little lady answered, skillfully put on Liu Yuan's clothes, and after tidying up, she said softly: "Well, senior brother should be careful when you go out." ”
"Zhilu said, little lady, what snacks do you want, senior brother will help you bring them by the way when he comes back." Liu Yuan said with some pity.
Although they have become husband and wife, Liu Yuan still pampers Xiao Niang as a little girl, in fact, in later generations, Xiao Niang is still an underage girl, and the matter of the two is rumored to be a lawsuit, so there is no restriction in this regard, and the ancients matured very early, thirteen or fourteen years old, no matter the figure or thought, just like the appearance of about twenty years old in later generations, the two used to be in love with each other, Liu Yuan cherished the pure beauty between the two.
is only a simple little girl, or the little girl who can be happy with a string of rock sugar gourds and a grass gadget.
"Senior brother likes whatever the little lady buys." The little lady said softly.
"Well, that's good, I'm out of the woods." Liu Yuan casually straightened his sleeves and prepared to go out.
Just as she was about to walk out of the door, Xiao Niang suddenly shouted, "Senior brother, don't you have anything to say to Xiao Niang?" ”
"Ahh Say what? Liu Yuan froze suddenly, turned his head and glanced at the little lady who seemed to be smiling, and then suddenly realized: "Okay, little lady, senior brother loves you." ”
Xiao Niang's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, her eyes were a little shy, and she shook her head and said, "Senior brother, it's shameful to say this in broad daylight, Xiao Niang said it." Not this one. ”
"Not this?" Liu Yuanleng paused, it seemed that Xiao Niang was not a person who liked this tune, thought for a while, and immediately said: "Then senior brother buys your favorite candied fruit." ”
"That's not right."
"And what do you want? Fun little dolls? What is the food in Yangzhou? Pancakes? Dried fruit? Suzhou embroidery? Lan Xiang Pavilion's shoes? Every time Liu Yuan said the same, the little lady shook her head lightly with a smile. Liu Yuan lost his temper, so he had to whisper: "Okay." Senior brother admits defeat. I really can't guess, you can tell yourself what you want. ”
A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, where can you guess? Liu Yuan still let her say it herself.
Xiao Niang glanced at Liu Yuan proudly, as if she was the winner, and said with a smile: "Senior brother." I discovered your secret. ”
Liu Yuan was startled, but quickly calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother's affairs, you know everything. Even the money you earn will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and if there are any secrets, don't guess. ”
"Hehe, senior brother, you are not honest."
"Forget it, if I don't mess with you, I still have to go out."
The little lady smiled and said, "Senior brother, before you left, didn't you tell me to take good care of Miss Pei?" ”
"The visitor is a guest, I have something to go out, so you can entertain her for my senior brother." Liu Yuan was a little uneasy in his heart, but he still said without changing his face.
"Yes, it's to be entertained." Xiao Niang deliberately lengthened the tone of the word "good", and all of a sudden the words changed a little.
Liu Yuan turned around suddenly, looked at Xiao Niang, and smiled bitterly: "You little ghost, say, what do you know?" ”
In Liu Yuan's mind, if you want to say that the most trusted person is definitely Xiaoniang, she is not ready to hide some things from her, anyway, sooner or later, she will know the truth, and she will not act anymore, so she will ask directly.
Xiao Niang said a little proudly: "I just learned the way." ”
"Just now?" Liu Yuan said in surprise: "What do you know? ”
"Something must have happened between Senior Brother Zhilu Dao and Miss Pei, Senior Brother, you don't want to be like Sister Xin, usually keep it hidden, and then marry your son when you have a child, right? It's not right, looking at Miss Pei's words and deeds, she should still be a virgin, senior brother, tell me, when will you get better? ”
Liu Yuan was taken aback, looked at Xiao Niang, and couldn't help asking, "You said that you just knew the Dao, how did you know the Dao?" Did the geese tell you? ”
"Hee-hee, I'm calling a goose, it seems to be true." Xiao Niang said a little proudly: "When Miss Pei came in just now, you glanced at each other, although the time was very short, but I could see at a glance that your relationship was unusual, there must be a problem." ”
After getting along with Liu Yuan for so long, Xiao Niang can be said to know Liu Yuan well, and even some subtle expressions are also clear in her chest, so to speak, as soon as Liu Yuan cocks her buttocks, Xiao Niang knows whether Liu Yuan is shit or pee, as soon as Liu Yuan sees Pei Jingyan's expression, although it is only a blink of an eye, Xiao Niang still captures it.
"Okay, no one knows about this matter yet, senior brother told you, but don't you publicize it first, do you know Lu Dao?"
"Well, the little lady promised not to say it."
So, Liu Yuan said that he had inadvertently seen Pei Jingyan Gengti, of course, he didn't blame the matter on Cheng Lao Demon King, he only said that he was curious and inadvertently caused trouble, and after speaking, he said with a wry smile: "Okay, that's the matter, senior brother told you everything." ”
Girls have to be reserved, otherwise not only men don't cherish it, but even other women look down on it, Liu Yuan naturally won't say that it was a deliberate match between Cheng Lao Demon King and his wife, and Pei's family also intended to recruit himself as a son-in-law, so although he had a light on his face, he was only afraid that Pei Jingyan would be wronged in the future.
"So that's the case, then Miss Pei has been wronged." Xiao Niang sighed, but soon said happily: "This is a good thing, senior brother has picked up a big beauty again, Miss Pei is so generous and decent, and so beautiful, senior brother is blessed now, but let Miss Pei be a concubine, it is too wronged to be her, otherwise, senior brother, wait for her to enter the door." I'll switch places with her. ”
Liu Yuan said in surprise: "What? Changing positions? ”
"Yes, I'm just the daughter of a businessman, how can I rank so high? Senior brother now has four rooms, and then enter the door, that is the fifth room, Hedong Pei is a well-known family, if they are angry with the senior brother, it will not be good for the future of the senior brother. Xiao Niang said with some concern.
"Don't you complain? Don't you really care? Liu Yuan said in surprise.
Xiao Niang shook her head without hesitation, and said with a serious face: "I can be by my brother's side, and I see my brother every day." The little lady was satisfied, and when she saw that her brother was happy, the little lady's heart was happy. ”
In the world, there is no purest love than this, in the words of a later generation. That is: as long as you're better off than I am.
Liu Yuan was moved all of a sudden, and gently hugged the little lady. I can't say it.
"Don't worry. No matter what time it is, we will never leave it. Liu Yuan said emotionally.
"Well, senior brother, I'll listen to you." The little lady hugged Liu Yuan gently and murmured, her eyes were already a little blurry.
Holding the soft body of the little lady. Smelling the fragrance of her hair, Liu Yuan couldn't help but think of a small prose he had read: When I was seven years old, I caught it, I thought I had caught the whole summer, when I was seventeen years old. I took her hand, and I thought I could hold it forever. Now what Liu Yuan wants to say to Xiaoniang is: I hugged true love, and I will hug it forever.
"Senior brother," the little lady in her arms suddenly said softly.
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Sanniang told me just now that the two of you seem to be deliberately avoiding something, and she suspects that you have some unclear relationship with Miss Pei, what should I do?"
"That's what she said?"
Xiao Niang nodded lightly and said, "Yes, Sanniang secretly told me, but I said that she thought too much." ”
Liu Yuan smiled and shook his head, this Du Sanniang is really good at observing her face, a little bit of traces, and she immediately noticed it, Xiao Niang can see the difference, because Xiao Niang is too familiar with Yuan, and I don't know if she learned it in Qinglou, that is, she found the signs, with her unconfident and timid nature, she will not come out if she has something, she will only instigate Xiao Niang to rush to the front, I can only say that this woman is about to become a sperm.
"You shouldn't know where Sanniang is, just don't care about her." Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I'll talk about this matter in a few days." ”
Xue'er's 100-day banquet is coming, don't make any turmoil for the time being, the four women in the family, Liu Yuan can be said to know everything about it: Cui Mengyao has the demeanor and majesty of the main room, and has the demeanor of everyone, she is Liu Yuan's virtuous helper, Xiaoniang is simple, and has no selfishness, so she is in charge of the financial power, everyone is convinced, Sanniang is a little unconfident due to her background, but she is a slippery agent for everyone, and Hu Xin has a straightforward personality, love and hate, and there are women who are full of everything, and they do not fight for power and profit, although Du Sanniang said that she found some signs, But she will only talk to Xiao Niang.
First, she felt that she was too far away from Cui Mengyao, who was born in a famous family, and there was an inexplicable sense of gap and distance, and Xiao Niang was born in a businessman, and the identity and status of the two were the closest, and Xiao Niang was also very talkative, and the second was that this kind of thing was just chasing after the wind and shadows, and there was no real evidence, Cui Mengyao must have reprimanded her for being too much and smearing Liu Yuan, as for Hu Xin, not to mention, the princess is also a foreigner, the last time I chatted with her, she also said that the powerful people in Tubo are also dozens of wives and concubines, isn't this encouraging Liu Yuan to take concubines?
If the little lady doesn't help, she won't be able to make waves.
"Well, I know what to do, senior brother, go quickly, it's important to get down to business."
"Okay, then I'll go, I'll talk about it in the evening." Liu Yuan nodded, and then went straight out of the house to the research institute to see the preparations
Xiangren Fang, originally just an ordinary Fang, Chang'an has a total of one hundred and eight Fang, although this one hundred and eight Fang are in the prosperous Chang'an City, but there are also good and bad, like the first residence of the bureaucrats in the northeast of the city near the palace Da Nei, the Yuan Fang, Shengye Fang has become a place where dignitaries and nobles live, Anren Fang lives in the imperial relatives, Pingkang Fang because the green buildings gather, prosperous as smoke, it can be said that it is famous inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, it is said that every year there are many Hu merchants with a large number of goods to come, and then pour all of them, with the Qinglou woman wonderful return to 100 million, and Xiangrenfang, except for civilians or civilians, many military candidates are reluctant to be assigned here.
However, that is in the past, since Liu Yuan set up the Chang'an Newspaper Hall and Moyun Printing Factory here in one breath, he immediately changed his old appearance to a new look, those carriages that came to buy books and Chang'an newspapers often blocked the roads, and often had to send out military forces to maintain order, there were people flowing, and naturally there were business opportunities, first some small food stalls appeared, and slowly there were some shops, which became more and more lively, just like today, a long queue is hundreds of meters long, to say the least.
This long dragon belongs to Chang'an Daily, but this time it does not sell newspapers, but donates money and silver:
"Zhang Dafu, donate one or two taels of silver, Gong Shengdai thanked the soldiers in front of you." Gong Sheng took the silver, and after carefully writing down the name of the donor, he said with a grateful face.
"No" Zhang Dafu waved his hand, got out of the way, and let the next donor step forward.
"The little old man donated a hundred wen, only so much, I hope it is not too little." An old man in somewhat shabby clothes said with some embarrassment.
Gong Sheng hurriedly said: "A lot, a lot, it's just a heart, old man, you have a heart." ”
"It's a pity, I'm old, otherwise, I will also bring a knife to join the army." I don't know if it was because of the small donation, the old man didn't even leave his name on the roster, and went straight away.
"Next" Gong Sheng was a little emotional, but the donation line behind him was still very long, and he couldn't care about sighing.
With the approval of Li Er, Chang'an Daily called on the subjects of the Tang Dynasty to have money to contribute, and Gong Sheng also personally handled it, and wrote several passionate articles, not only talking about the hardships of the front-line soldiers, but also mentioning in the article that in order to support the war and construction, the wise emperor repeatedly cut the expenses in the palace, and the eldest grandson Empress led the palace maids to tie lanterns, spinning cloth and other deeds, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were moved at once, donating money and materials, and were extremely enthusiastic.
The people are kind and grateful, although the people are not highly educated, but they all have a name in their hearts, the Tang Dynasty has built roads and bridges, dredged rivers, strengthened the Yellow River and other popular projects, the people of the Tang Dynasty are in their eyes, and Tubo has no faith, and many people are more provocative, even if they do so much, the people's taxes have increased somewhat, and the people don't know how grateful they are. Now, when they heard that the treasury was empty, they all actively donated silver.
Not only Gong Sheng was moved, but Liu Yuan, who was watching from the sidelines, was also secretly moved by these kind people, he didn't go out for a few days, but he didn't expect to see this touching scene as soon as he went out.
It can be seen that Li Er not only won the world, but also won the hearts of the people. (To be continued......)
