Chapter 98: But just do it
Gu Jin knew that Princess Ning and Princess watched the female singer and dance all night, and after they dispersed the next day, Pan Xiang came to him to confess.
The reason why Pan Xiang knew was that after Pan Dingbang returned home, he asked his daughter-in-law Tian Qi's grandmother to report for the silver for the female dancer.
Please show this girl to the princess! You can't use his private money.
Naturally, Pan Dingbang not only didn't get the silver back, but was also scolded by his father and brother in turn, and was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and his little private silver was also copied by Tian Qi's grandmother.
Gu Jinqi's throat was thick.
Up to now, Ning He has followed Li Sangrou and gone out a total of three times, the first time, listening to her scolding and rudeness, the second time, she was drunk, and this third time, she called a female singer!
"Big brother, don't worry, Pan Qi's words, how can you believe them all, otherwise, call Ah Yue over first, and ask Ah Yue first, if she knows what a girl is, I'm afraid she doesn't know at all." Gu Xi hurriedly persuaded, "Maybe, Ah Yue thought it was an ordinary maid, and there were special people in the palace waiting for banquets, singing and dancing, Ah Yue definitely didn't know." ”
Gu Jin took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the urge to be angry, and motioned to Qingfeng, "Go and invite the princess, don't say more." ”
Qingfeng responded, and hurriedly went to invite Princess Ning He.
When Princess Ning He arrived, Gu Jin had already suppressed her irritability, at least in the eyes of Princess Ning He, it was no different from usual.
"You went out with Miss Li yesterday?" Gu Xi preemptively asked, "Where did you go?" ”
"Zhou Jiazi.
Yesterday, Miss Li and I went to congratulate Tian Shiyi on his birthday.
In fact, Tian 11 is the birthday of the 16th, but there are too many people he wants to invite, and there are many people who invite him. ”
Princess Ning didn't finish speaking, and sighed, "I forgot to give him the birthday gift I brought him!" Alas! Princess Ninghe was annoyed.
"How can you forget to give all the birthday gifts, what was the excitement yesterday?" Gu Xi glanced at Gu Jin and asked with a slight bated breath.
"There were a lot of female singers yesterday, all of them were very good-looking, and the seventh prince said that they were all famous people in Jianle City.
There is a person who plays the pipa, and the seventh prince said that her pipa, together with the North Qi and the South Liang, has to be the best, and she really plays it very well, and the people are good, laughing all the time, and speaking softly. ”
Princess Ning He didn't realize that there was anything inappropriate.
Those female playwrights are more talented than those scholars, good-looking, elegant in conversation, and cautious and courteous.
"A good at painting, I drew a picture of the birthday star on the spot, I think it is better than Yao Hanlin's painting.
By the way, there is also a whirling dancer, the skirt of the spin is straightened, and I can spin dozens of times in one breath, I am dizzy when I see it, I asked her if she is dizzy, she said that she is not dizzy, that is, you can't eat more before dancing, you can't drink water, otherwise you can't spin up, it's pitiful.
Alas, it's all quite pathetic. Princess Ninghe sighed as she thought about Li Sangrou's words.
Gu Xi looked at Gu Jin obliquely.
"Can't eat much before dancing, can't drink water is pitiful? Every year on New Year's Day, you can't move if you sit for half a day, don't you dare to eat and drink? Gu Jin looked at Princess Ning He and asked.
"It's not all about not being able to eat and drink, huh." Princess Ning and Princess thought for a while, "They sing and dance and feast every day, and they seem to be happy every day, but in fact, there is no way, they can't help it, they have no choice, they have no choice, and this last resort is the most pitiful." ”
"What is this last resort, pitiful or something, you can see it yourself? Or did Miss Li tell you? Gu Xi glanced at Gu Jin and asked with a smile.
"It's my own opinion, Miss Li said the same, saying that they are just like the wine at the banquet, whoever wants to drink a sip can take a sip, and no one will ask if the wine is willing to let him drink it." Ning and Princess cautiously set up a small ambush.
If you envy the female singer, you can only say it to Miss Li, and you can't say it to anyone else, including the eldest brother and the third brother.
"What are these words?" Gu Jin burst out laughing.
"This is a very apt analogy." Gu Xi also laughed, looked at Princess Ning He and said: "From now on, you have to remember, before drinking, ask the wine first, if you want to let you drink, if you don't speak, you just don't want you to drink." ”
"No, if the wine doesn't speak, it's tacit." Princess Ning retorted happily.
"Did Pan Dingbang and Tian Shanxing invite you there, or did Miss Li take you there?" Gu Jin asked.
"Of course she invited me to go, Miss Li said that the seventh prince sent her two invitations." Princess Ning He pouted, "Big brother is really, every time I go out, you have to ask this and that, aren't you quite busy?" ”
"No matter how busy the eldest brother is, he won't be too busy to take care of you. ...... later" Gu Jin was stuck after the future.
How so? It was clear that Ah Yue didn't understand what this female trick was and what it meant, she didn't understand, and she couldn't understand his explanation later.
"It's nothing, in short, it's not as good as inside the palace, what you see, what you hear, you have to think about it more." Gu Jin sighed, and had to explain a few words.
"I think a lot, big brother rest assured."
"I was very tired yesterday, so let's go back quickly." Gu Xi hurriedly signaled to Princess Ning He.
It's best to say it here, and if he says more, he is worried that Ah Yue will say something inappropriate.
Gu Xi sent Princess Ning and Princess to the gate of the palace, turned back, looked at Gu Jin and said with a smile: "Ah Yue looks at those female dancers, and there is no difference between looking at those offerings in the palace, we think too much." ”
"You go and ask Miss Li and ask her...... Alas, forget it. Gu Jin rubbed his temples with a headache.
He had to think about this matter first and think it clearly.
"Let's talk about Huainan East Road." Gu Jin changed the topic, "In addition to Xiansi Xu Mu, I want to replace Jin Rong as well." ”
"I told you a long time ago, replace Jin Rong, he is on Huainan East Road, once the battle starts, he won't be able to hold it up at all!" Gu Xi sat opposite Gu Jin.
Gu Jin rubbed her temples in annoyance, "I told you, that time is not the time. After all, Jin Rong is the in-law of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and he was recommended by the second child, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion does not mention it, but you can't ignore the face of the second child. ”
Gu Xi hummed a little reluctantly.
"Originally, Pan Dingshan was an excellent candidate......
"Pan Dingshan can't.
I told you about this, Pan Dingshan has been raising the tea and horse division for many years, he is very good at horse politics, he is good at riding, knows horses, and can also cut and kill horse thieves.
I talked to him about the horses, and he longed for it, and he couldn't move. Gu Xi interrupted Gu Jin's words.
"Well, once the war starts, the Huainan East and West Roads are extremely important, and the officials of these two roads, before the end of the year, if they are not suitable, they must be replaced.
These are a few candidates that I thought of, you go back and take a look with Shouzhen and Zhihe, and pick someone out.
Also, the Xian Si Cao Si and the Shuai Si are all selected by you, and the current supervisor is not suitable, I mean, Jin Rong turned into the supervisor on the spot, he is a person, although he is not good at doing things, but he is good at finding faults.
You go back and talk to Shouzhen to see if it's suitable. Gu Jin took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi swept it over, put it in his sleeve, discussed a few more things with Gu Jin, and said goodbye and went back.
……………………
The trial of the case in Linli County was quickly concluded, and the county ordered Luo Lingyan to rule a series of seven murder cases, and 12 prisoners died in prison.
The next day, Lu Hepeng revised it again and again, and an article that he was quite proud of, along with the list of Luo Lingyan's great-grandmother, and the article that Luo Lingyan did not pass the entrance examination at the beginning, was sent to the news newspaper office.
Lu Hepeng sent the article to the newspaper office, came out and sat in the tea house, drank two or three cups of tea, and went to Prince Rui's mansion.
This article, when he wrote it, he was excited, and now he sent it to the newspaper office, and then came out, how do you think it seems that this is not a trivial matter, at least, you have to say hello to Mr. Wen.
Anyway, whether he goes to say hello or not, the big boss doesn't care, and Prince Rui's Mansion will also know.
Wen Cheng listened to Lu Hepeng's report, and when he was still thinking about this matter, the table and the two articles had already been sent to Gu Jin.
The news newspaper is in charge of Pan Dingjiang, and such a series of three articles occupies a lot of space, even if there is a small space, it is related to the officials and the table of the imperial court, and the newspaper office does not dare to make its own opinions, and must be sent to Pan Dingjiang for review.
When Pan Dingjiang saw the article, he shook his head with a smile, this big boss, this revenge, is really incredible, this is taking advantage of his illness and asking for his life.
Well, this big boss has such a heart, forget these two words, the most important thing is to say it from him.
This article should be sent to the uncle, and it is best to ask the uncle to get an idea.
After Gu Jin finished reading it, he kept his face calm and was in a trance for a long time before he instructed Pan Dingjiang, "This matter has to be discussed carefully." Qingfeng, go and ask Pan Xiang and Wu Xiang to come over. ”
Pan Dingjiang was stunned when he heard Gu Jin ask people to invite Wu Xiang and his father, hesitated, and said with a smile: "Miss Li is a girl after all, and her heart is a little small......"
"She's not careful. Remember, don't despise a girl because she's a girl and she's a woman, for women's wisdom and insight abound above men.
I heard that your daughter-in-law is better than you everywhere? Gu Jin interrupted Pan Dingjiang's words, and asked with a bit of a joke.
Pan Dingjiang was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Yes." ”
"I have a new cake and good tea, you go and pry it open, and when your father and Wu Xiang arrive, make them a bowl to taste. The Tanhua tea needle over there is easy to use. Gu Jin then laughed.
Pan Dingjiang sighed, wanted to say something, but before the words came out, he laughed first, and retreated to the tea table while laughing, rolling up his sleeves and priing the tea.
Wu Xiang and Pan Xiang arrived quickly, and Pan Dingjiang made three bowls of tea and served them to the three of them one by one.
"Show them, sit down, and listen to them." Gu Jin smiled and gestured to Pan Dingjiang.
Wu Xiang and Pan Xiang finished reading ten lines at a glance, closed a table and two articles, and looked at Gu Jin.
"Tell me first." Gu Jin smiled and gestured to the two, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"This watch, nearly a hundred years ago, things have changed, and now is no longer the time when the etiquette collapsed a hundred years ago. Such a comparison is not appropriate. "Wu Xiang has always been straightforward.
"Yes, when things change, the law should also move, and in peacetime, the law should be re-emphasized." Pan Xiang agreed.
"The battle of Qiliang is imminent, if the battle starts, how long do you think this battle will take?" Gu Jin put down the cup, looked at the two of them and asked.
"Our people are strong and strong, and the soldiers are better than the Southern Liang, but the Liangdi is much richer than us, compared with the two, it is considered to be equal, and we really want to fight, alas." Wu Xiang sighed, "I have discussed this matter with Pan Xiang and Du Xiang, but I am afraid that it will not be a matter of one or two years." ”
"yes." Pan Xiang sighed and nodded.
"Within ten years, to be able to make the first determination of the world is God's mercy." Gu Jin's expression was gloomy.
Wu Xiang nodded silently, and Pan Lian sighed.
Ten years, the world doesn't know what to do.
"We are strong and strong, since the first battle, we must have the upper hand, after attacking the Southern Liang, the supply of grain and grass will need to be transported by a large number of people.
The prince of Nanliang, the samurai, the ministers of the Southern Liang Dynasty, the talent and knowledge, no less than us, we want to get grain on the spot, but I am afraid that it is extremely difficult, we must make plans for long-distance supply, we must think of the people who are needed, and there are too many people from the people, and the fields are cultivated, and all kinds of work must be insufficient.
We have to think of all this in advance. ”
"What the prince said is extremely true, but we are not thoughtful." Wu Xiang sincerely admitted his mistake.
In terms of long-term thinking, he is indeed inferior to the prince, alas, it is a pity that the prince is really a pity.
"What does the prince mean, at this time, let's raise the tune that this woman can also support her family and support her family?" Pan Xiang immediately got into the topic.
"Well, after a long time, there are more and more people like Luo Lingyan who are polite and stubborn, and at this time, such etiquette is not good for the country." Gu Jin looked at Pan Dingjiang, "This matter, how to do it step by step, you think about it, think about it, discuss it with your father first, and then come over and talk to me." ”
Gu Jin turned to Wu Xiang again, "In government affairs, we should also follow this direction a little bit, this is above, Wu Xianggong is better at it, please worry more about Wu Xiang." ”
"Don't worry, when Du Xiang comes back, I will discuss it with the two of them." Wu Xiang replied.
……………………
The next morning, Li Sangrou looked at the row of three articles in the news newspaper, and was in a happy mood.
In the evening, Li Sangrou and the rice blind man sat under the porch of fried rice alley, drinking wine and talking.
"Did you call me here because of the good wine, or because you're in a good mood?" The blind man sipped the wine and looked at Li Sangrou.
"I'm in a good mood." Li Sangrou's answer was extremely simple.
"Huh? What's the matter? The blind man moved, facing Li Sangrou, and looked at her again.
"This." Li Sangrou turned around, found the news newspaper that fell to the ground at an unknown time, leaned over to pick it up, and handed it to the blind man.
The blind man sat up straight, put the newspaper on his lap, held the wine glass in one hand, and flipped through the newspaper with the other.
Turning it over and seeing Luo Lingyan's three words, the blind man stopped, swept through the ten lines at a glance, raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look at Li Sangrou.
"What are you trying to do? Beat up the water dogs? According to your bearing, even if you fight, you won't be happy like this, what kind of article is this? ”
"Hey, aren't you very smart, what is the autumn of a leaf, you know the elegance when you hear the sound of the strings, you can't see such an obvious thing?" Li Sangrou shook her legs and squinted at the blind man.
"Yo, your mood is not ordinarily good. I don't see it, you say. The blind man closed the newspaper, threw it aside, and readily admitted it.
"That's it, this article, here." Li Sangrou raised her chin at the newspaper that was thrown to the ground by the blind man.
"That uncle, you're used to it?" The blind man pouted and slanted at Li Sangrou.
"That uncle won't get used to me, this article can get to this, what does that uncle think, I don't bother to think about it, for me, it's enough." Li Sangrou shook her feet happily.
"I'll see." The blind man bent down to pick up the newspaper, read it carefully, and threw it down again, "I didn't see it, you said it." ”
"You men." Li Sangrou sighed, "Just for this table, for the absurdity of Luo Lingyan's article, just for women, to support their families, they should have a watch, women, they are running around, they should have a watch, just for this." ”
The blind man raised his eyebrows and leaned at Li Sangrou, and after a while, he smiled and said, "I remember, you said once, why can't women and men be equal."
I agree with what you say, why can't you? should be on an equal footing, the Nuwa Niangniang, who created people, she is a woman.
You, what's next? And then what? Where are you going to go? ”
"There's no next step, it's touched, by the way, there's no back, there's back.
Where I want to go, I may not be able to walk for hundreds of years or thousands of years after my bones turn to ashes.
It's just that if you see it, you encounter it, and if you have the opportunity, you must make a contribution, and if you have a little, you will do a little. ”
Li Sangrou raised her glass into the void and drank it happily.
"Can it really work? What's the use? Ants shake the hundred-year-old tree. Hey! The blind man shook his head and sighed.
"You said that the real good deeds are just doing, not thinking about anything, but seeing it, encountering it, feeling that it should be done, doing it, doing it, doing it, like the wind blowing away, don't think about it, don't think about it, the real good is great.
I'm the same way, what will happen to this thing today, what's the use, don't think about it, don't think about it, but just do it. ”
Li Sangrou smiled heartily, raised his glass to the blind man, and drank it happily.
