Chu Tiankuo was still quietly reminiscing about the sweetness of the two jade pendants, Li Jingjue ate a few bites of food, and grabbed Chu Tiankuo and asked questions.

"Brother Chu, tell me about the situation in Xiyue." Li Jingjue knew that her sister was going to have a banquet for General Zhenyuan, and she wanted to come with a dead face, not to rub the rice, but to have a real purpose here.

"Now the imperial court has established Maoxian County, which corresponds to Xiling County. It's determined to manage the barbarian tribes of the west. Li Jingjue asked, "There was a lot of discussion in the court, some people said that the place was opened up to exile criminals, and some people said that the people there drank blood, ate flesh and blood raw, and hung human heads as decorations in the house...... What kind of place is that? ”

Chu Tiankuo laughed, "How can it be so terrifying, they all treat Xiyue as a demon cave, and the people there as demons and monsters?" Chu Tiankuo sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs, ate it slowly, and considered what to say.

In fact, when the pilgrimage intentionally established Maoxian County as a gateway to the southwest, as a channel to establish diplomatic relations with Xuanluo and other southwestern countries. And he was ordered to complete the establishment of the county, and built the initial defense structure of Xiyue, depending on the meaning of the saint, most of them will be stationed in Xiyue for a long time in the future.

It's time for him to think about it...... "Kidnapped" people over.

After eating a piece of ribs, he already made a decision in his heart. He Lang said with a smile: "The west is full of lofty mountains, the climate is warm, and the forests are deep and vine honey. And because of the humidity and heat, it is easy to produce miasma. That's why it's misunderstood. ”

As he spoke, he dipped his tea and drew a simple map on the table, "In addition to these unfavorable factors, Xiyue can be said to be full of birds and flowers, and rich in products. The aboriginal tribes there have diverse customs, simple folk customs, their own culture and beliefs, and are not uncivilized barbarians. And now that it has returned to the Dalang Dynasty, many tribal elders and patriarchs are also involved in the management, and the village has gradually become a climate. ”

Li Jingjue's eyes were blazing and she looked at Chu Tiankuo so brightly that she even forgot to clip the dishes when she heard it.

"The problem today is that the land is sparsely populated and there is a serious shortage of residents." Chu Tiankuo took another sip of wine, shook his head and said: "Moreover, under the counties and counties, there are not enough officials in the state capitals, and there is a shortage of talented people, which has slowed down the primary work such as household registration collection and land survey and distribution. There is also the development of handicrafts that needs to be done by more craftsmen. Chu Tiankuo said while looking at Li Jingshan.

"I'm willing to go!"

Chu Tiankuo was taken aback. He never expected that he would be kind to his sister at the table, thinking of abducting people to Xiyue, but his younger brother agreed to it!

"You're going? The dignified Tanhualang, who went to Xiyue to be a magistrate? Chu Tiankuo was suspicious, and hurriedly looked at Li Jingshan. He thought that Li Jingshan would stop drinking his younger brother, but he didn't expect Li Jingshan to just drink and eat calmly, looking at his brother's gaze, but he had more recognition and appreciation.

Chu Tiankuo had a flash of inspiration, could it be that this sister and brother wanted to go to Xiyue, so they inquired with him in detail?

Sure enough, Li Jingjue said, "The Hanlin Academy has been discussing the issue of exchanging West Vietnam for a few months. Although I know that Beijing officials are more popular than foreign officials. In fact, when it comes to really doing things, there are constraints everywhere, and it is even more about seniority and relationships. It's better to be at ease with the outside. ”

He took a sip of the teacup, only to find that it was empty, so he put the teacup down and reached for a teapot to help him fill it up.

"Thank you, sister." He didn't turn his head and continued to talk to Chu Tiankuo, "And the new county system in Xiyue is waiting to be rebuilt, and it is a good time to show your ambitions." It's not much happier than the seniority in the capital year after year! ”

"Li Gongzi is very right!"

Chu Tiankuo glanced at Li Jingshan, who had refilled his brother's tea and refilled his wine glass, her face quietly turned red for some reason, and she hurriedly responded to Li Jingjue's words and diverted her attention.

He dotted up his spirit and carefully described the customs and bright prospects of Xiyue to Li Jingjue, and Li Jingjue's eyes lit up when he heard it, and Li Jingshan was also quite fascinated.

After talking for a while, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and took the opportunity to inquire about Li Jingjue: "It's just that you went to the far west, but how did your family settle down?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Li Jingshan again.

Li Jingjue waved her hand and said, "It's not a problem." My sister and I have calculated that if my mother is willing to come to the capital, my sister will take them to Beijing to take care of them, otherwise she will have a good home in Minzhou, so she doesn't have to worry. ”

Chu Tiankuo's eyes widened, and he said for a long time, but his younger brother wanted to go, and his sister still settled in the capital!

He held back for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "In the future, Miss Li will always get married, and Ling Tang can't always ......."

"When the time comes, I'll come back and pick up my mother." Li Jingjue didn't care.

"Doesn't Miss Li want to go to Xiyue together? It's hard to find a craftsman like you. ”

Before Li Jingshan could answer, Li Jingjue smiled first, "What did my sister do in the past." She has just been promoted to the master of the Jingbao Pavilion Zhentang, and she has done a good job in Beijing, and her future husband's family is also in Beijing. ”

Chu Tiankuo was like a thunderbolt, and he was instantly stunned.

"Ah Jue!" Li Jingshan blushed with shame, turned her head and apologized to Chu Tiankuo, "Don't listen to his nonsense." ”

Li Jingjue stuck out her tongue, laughed and drank, and stopped making a sound.

Chu Tiankuo calmed down, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "It turns out that Miss Li has already booked her mother-in-law's house?" ”

Li Jingshan glared at her younger brother and said shyly, "No." It's just that the slave family already has a person who pleases him, and I'm willing to wait for him. ”

In Chu Tiankuo's mind, Ruan Mingyu's squishy face appeared. He took a sip of his glass, only to feel the bitterness of his mouth. E-book house

When he left Beijing to conquer Xiyue, he secretly thought that if he returned to the dynasty as a teacher, Li Jingshan was still unmarried, and he would definitely come to the door to ask for marriage.

However, after three years, although Li Jingshan is still not married, she looks at her shy and happy appearance, but she knows that she is going to miss it forever.

Later, at the table, what Li Jingjue said, Chu Tiankuo couldn't remember it at all, but he responded absentmindedly. Li Jingshan saw that he was in a bad mood, so she told the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

She said in a harmonious voice: "When the general first returned to the capital, he didn't have a good rest yet, so he won't delay your early rest." "This is a new piece of jewelry designed with the theme of the barracks factor, called 'Zhengrong'." The official slave family was taken in by the general and was inspired when he mixed up in the barracks. And send the general as a souvenir. Don't shirk. ”

Chu Tiankuo opened the brocade box, and it was a set of sixteen heads: small jade and beads carved into a shrunken pattern of gluttonous shoulder swallow and belly swallow, worn into a bracelet, a hairpin in the shape of a long sword, and a pattern carved into a fish scale armor...... Each ornament shows the iron and masculinity of the barracks. It is worthy of the word "grandiose".

Chu Tiankuo stroked these ornaments with mixed feelings. After a while, he said in a dumb voice, "Thank you, girl, this gift has a special meaning, so I won't refuse." ”

The three of them walked out together, Chu Tiankuo plucked up his courage and asked worriedly, "Miss Li, can you let the last general give you a ride?" ”

Li Jingshan smiled, "Don't bother the general, someone will pick me up." ”

As he spoke, a carriage drove slowly. Chu Tiankuo recognized the driver of the car, who was the little guy next to Ruan Mingyu. Sure enough, the carriage stopped, Ruan Mingyu jumped down from the car, and saluted Chu Tian with a smile, "I've seen General Chu." ”

turned around and held Li Jingshan's hand, and said angrily: "Why did you eat so late before you dispersed." ”

Chu Tiankuo couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. Fuck it's just past now. Are you too late? At this time of the day, your drinking pleasure has not yet begun!

However, he watched Li Jingshan obediently wave goodbye to him, and stepped into the carriage with Ruan Mingyu's hand, and the unhappiness turned into a thick sourness.

It turns out that some stories are over before they even begin; Some people, before they get closer, have already walked away.

----

In the blink of an eye, it is already the wax moon, and the New Year is approaching.

There was a peaceful atmosphere of the festival in the capital, and even the palace began to be lit up.

The fourth prince came in from outside the palace, and when he saw that the palace people were changing the palace lamps under the corridor, he jumped up and picked up the lamp tassels that fell under the lamp, and was laughed and disgusted by the palace maids, "Oh, ancestor, you can be merciful." ”

Before the words fell, the Fourth Highness had already jumped away, leaving behind a string of hearty laughter.

After entering the Baguio Palace, he restrained his prodigal spirit, and saluted Concubine Lan in a proper manner, "Say hello to the concubine." ”

Lan Guifei sat in front of the bookcase, holding a hand stove, and a stack of sketches in front of her, and smiled at him and Yue, "That's it." What have you come to plague my palace? The next time the palace people don't dare to let you in. ”

The fourth prince smiled, "How dare I! Don't listen to their nonsense. As he spoke, he snuggled up and saw the sketch on the table, "Is the concubine choosing the style of headdress to be used in the palace next year?" Sent by the Bureau? ”

"Yes, these styles are sent by this bureau every year, but the details have changed slightly." Concubine Lan put down those drawings and sighed, "If you don't take a closer look, how can we choose the same style every year in our harem." ”

The four princes flipped through a few photos and felt familiar. He had an idea and said with a smile, "It seems that the people of the Sizhen Bureau are also poor in donkey skills." Mother, this year, it is better to invite jewelry craftsmen outside the palace to design and create. Maybe it's refreshing. ”

"Nonsense, the housekeeping in the palace actually let the craftsmen outside the palace do it," Lan Guifei patted the fourth prince, "Where do you let the face of the Si Zhen Bureau go?" ”

"What's this?" The fourth prince picked up the osmanthus cake in the multi-treasure box and took a bite, "I was ordered to reward General Zhenyuan who returned to Beijing last month, and the Liurui jade awarded to him was made by inviting an outside shop. ”

"Is there such a thing? The Ministry of Rites actually agreed? ”

"Haha, but the people from the Ministry of Rites elected it." The fourth prince smiled proudly, "The situation at that time was like this......" He said the process of selecting ritual artifacts with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and remembered something, took off the jade pendant on his body, and said as if offering a treasure, "There is a genius craftsman in the Jingbao Pavilion recently, and her design and craftsmanship are very good. Look, this is her handiwork. Ingenious, right? ”

Concubine Lan took it and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's a little interesting." Do you know the craftsman? ”

"Her name is Li Jingshan. By the way, the year before last, the county lord of Anping went to Jingbao Pavilion to learn art, and he was a classmate with her. ”

"Li Jingshan......?" Lan Guifei thought about it for a while, and vaguely remembered, "When you mentioned it, I remembered that at the palace banquet before the county lord got married, she brought a maidservant into the palace, which seems to be the name." ”

"Yes, yes! I ordered this jade pendant with her in the palace. The fourth prince also remembered.

Concubine Lan pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then this year's palace decorations, let's try her skills." ”
