Chapter 128: The Secret History of Great Qi
It is also said that on the third day after the death of the concubine, Emperor Changping sat in the nine-fold pagoda he had built for the concubine, and sat for a night, and when he came out again, he seemed to be ten years old, and his head was white overnight.
Only then did everyone feel how important it was for Emperor Changping to favor the concubine.
This is also what Zhang Jilin heard during the march, in fact, he admired the emperor of the dynasty very much, at least his strategy is indeed unmatched, when the emperor drove a personal expedition, he let Beirong and southern Xinjiang stay where they should be, and An'an passed eight or nine years, if it weren't for the two years I heard that Emperor Changping was not in good health, Beirong and southern Xinjiang were ready to move, Zhang Jirin expected that the frontier could have been peaceful for more than ten years.
Zhang Jilin also saw this emperor when he first entered Beijing, and it was similar to the rumor, only more majestic.
Prince Chun wanted to rebel, so he created a rebellion in various places, secretly colluded with the Beirong people, and in the past two years, natural disasters such as famine and floods have occurred frequently in various places, and Prince Chun in order to seize the throne, created rumors that the current emperor is not virtuous, and God has punished him, and he has really won a lot of momentum for a while.
This secret was accidentally discovered by Zhang Jirin, Zhang Jirin sent the news out of the plan, and sent him to change his identity and lurk beside Prince Chun, after winning his trust, collect evidence of his rebellion, in order not to be found out of his true identity and identity, and not to affect his family, so he faked the illusion of his death before, and the golden cicada came out of his shell, changed his identity and name and lurked beside Prince Chun.
Now that the war has not subsided, he just took the opportunity to go home this time, and his identity cannot be exposed yet, so Zhang Jirin can only secretly take a look at the Zhang family.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the Zhang family is doing well now, and Zhang Jirin is also relieved.
Thinking about it, Zhang Jilin fell asleep, and then had a dream all night, one would dream that he was fighting on the battlefield, one would dream that he had returned to his previous home, and one would even dream of the girl he had saved one day.
The rooster crowed, the man opened his eyes vigilantly, and saw that it was still dark outside, and the man sat up from the bed neatly. Restore the bed to its original appearance.
One dodge out of the house.
The sky in the distance gradually turned white, and the people of the Zhang family got up early in the morning. Zhang Jihan was about to sweep the yard with a broom, and as soon as he picked up the broom, Gao Yong and others stepped forward and snatched the broom from Zhang Jihan's hand.
"Let's just do it." Gao Yong scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"It's just sweeping the yard, I'll do it." Zhang Jihan was about to get the broom back.
"It's okay, it's okay, we don't have anything else to do, so let's do it." Gao Yong and the others began to sweep the yard, not giving Zhang Jihan a chance to refuse again.
Zhang Jihan thought about it and went with them. It's about to be the New Year, and nothing is planted in the fields on the mountain. They don't seem to have much to do every day.
Dozens of chickens were left for the New Year, and the fish pond was all emptied.
Now it's just waiting for the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Jihan turned his head and went to do something else.
The man who came out of Zhang Jihan's house walked aimlessly in the village, and Zhang Jilin was relieved to see that his family was safe.
At noon, Zhang Jirin finally met Zhang Li's, Zhang Li's was going to Aunt Li's house, now Zhang Li's looks much more energetic than before, the whole person walks with the wind, after seeing Zhang Li's, Zhang Jirin should also leave. But he stopped under the big tree passing by the entrance of the village.
Winter is coming, and there is nothing to be busy in the field, so everyone sits under the platform at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun, chatter, and chat.
"The Zhang family is really up now, with a new yard, and the situation is getting better and better." An older woman spat into her palm and said quickly.
"Who said no, the Zhang family, who in the village is not envious now?" Another woman answered.
"If you want me to say, it's all the credit of Mei Niang, I heard that this kind of fish farming is a method that Mei Niang came up with, and now the Zhang family can make so much money."
"Yes, I've heard of it too, I've heard people say that people will be enlightened, before Mei Niang was not pushed out by her gambling brother-in-law to pay off her debts, and the creditors found the door, saying that Liu Mei Niang accidentally fell and injured her head, after waking up, the life of this Zhang family is getting better and better, I think this Mei Niang is just enlightened?" The woman with the soles of her shoes said with an exaggerated expression.
"I think it's about the same, the Zhang family is slowly getting better after that."
"This Mei Niang is also a conscientious person, and she was widowed at a young age. The Zhang family is so poor. I don't want to remarry, this girl is not bad. The woman gave a thumbs up.
"Yo, what's wrong with the widow, if Mei Niang is willing to be my daughter-in-law, then I am a hundred willing."
The woman with the sole of the shoe sighed twice.
"You can say this, don't you just like Mei Niang will make money, and marry your son, and now there are many people who want to marry Mei Niang." Another woman snorted.
"I heard that Mei Niang found a good match in the county?" The woman who took the soles of the shoes said mysteriously.
"Where did you hear about it, it's clear that Mei Niang has business dealings with others, why don't you countrymen understand, it's not good." The woman next to her explained.
"I don't think so, even if it's true, Mei Niang is willing, then it's reasonable, who stipulates that widows can't remarry, right?"
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
A group of women were chattering, and when Zhang Jirin heard them speak, the shock in his heart could not be described in words.
In this way, the Zhang family can live such a good life today, and it is all due to Liu Meiniang alone?
Thinking of his wife who had never met at all, Zhang Jirin had a strange feeling.
I didn't expect her to be so capable, Zhang Jilin at this moment is full of gratitude to Liu Meiniang. If it weren't for Liu Meiniang, it would not be certain what the Zhang family's life would be like now.
But why hasn't he seen Liu Meiniang yet, could it be that Liu Meiniang is not in the Zhang family? But where did Liu Meiniang go when she wasn't in Zhang's house?
Although Zhang Jilin had doubts in his heart, he came back this time to make sure that everyone in the Zhang family was living well, and his goal was achieved, Zhang Jilin walked slowly in the direction of Qingshi County alone, because he had other things to do.
Besides, Liu Meiniang was doing the aftermath work in the county alone, and put the last inventory in the supermarket on the shelves, and when the last batch of things was sold out, it was also the end of the year, and Liu Meiniang would be able to go home.
When Liu Meiniang was alone in the county, Xue Wuyi moved directly with the pothos to live in Liu Meiniang's yard on the grounds that she was worried about Liu Meiniang's safety.
If Xue Wuyi moved over alone, Liu Meiniang could still persuade him to be so rude and let Xue Wuyi leave, but Xue Wuyi moved over with the pothos, what else could Liu Meiniang say, so she had to acquiesce.
She also knew in her heart that Xue Wuyi was afraid that the same thing would happen last time, so she wanted to protect her.
Xue Wuyi's heart for her, Liu Meiniang can also feel it.
For example, every day you have to shush the cold and ask for warmth. Liu Meiniang didn't know how to refuse, because she really didn't hate Xue Wuyi, but she didn't seem to call much.
"Mei Niang, there is a lantern festival in Qingshi County tonight, let's go see the lantern festival." During the meal, Xue Wuyi invited.
Liu Meiniang bit her chopsticks and didn't know how to refuse.
"And Luthos, the three of us, you shouldn't have seen the lantern festival in Qingshi County yet, right? The lantern festival in Qingshi County is about to celebrate the New Year, and the period of time after the New Year is the best, and many people from other places have come to see the lantern festival in Qingshi County. Xue Wuyi held his chin and said, which aroused Liu Meiniang's interest.
According to Xue Wuyi, now the lantern festival in Qingshi County has probably become a tourist attraction, in ancient times, it should be really good to say that it can be such a famous tourist attraction. Liu Meiniang was a little moved.
"Mei Niang, let's go and have a look, it's rare to be idle for a while." Pothos also spoke.
The longer Luluo and Liu Meiniang get along, the more they like Liu Meiniang. is also a woman, although she follows Xue Wuyi every day, but she admires Liu Meiniang very much, from a little-known rural village woman, step by step, she has gained a firm foothold in the county, not only taking good care of the Zhang family, but also opening a supermarket, raising silkworms and weaving cloth, making it look good.
Of course, she also saw that Liu Meiniang's was not easy, and often went to pick up Liu Meiniang home after the supermarket closed, and all she saw was Liu Meiniang's tired face.
In ancient times, women were basically vassals of men, and women like Liu Meiniang were already considered an outlier, doing business on their own, showing up, and actually succeeding.
The main reason is that Liu Meiniang is very good at some measures, even if Xue Wuyi and Liu Meiniang have a good relationship, Liu Meiniang will not easily trouble Xue Wuyi if she has anything.
Generally, they solve it by themselves, and if they really can't solve it, they may come to Xue Wuyi.
This is also one of the reasons why Pothos doesn't hate Liu Meiniang, so smart and easy to get along with.
"I ......" Liu Meiniang still wanted to refuse.
"Let's go." The green pothos directly pulled Liu Meiniang out of the door.
Xue Wuyi followed behind and walked slowly.
When they arrived at the lantern festival in Qingshi County, Xue Wuyi followed, and the green pothos slowly retreated to the back.
"How is it, Mei Niang, is it good-looking?" Xue Wuyi pointed to the lantern not far away and asked.
"Beautiful." Liu Meiniang nodded honestly. The lanterns are really good-looking, not far away is the main street of Qingshi County, there is a bridge to walk through, standing in her position, you can see all kinds of lights hanging on the guardrail of the bridge, there are colorful everywhere, the whole Qingshi County is decorated very dreamy.
It's even more shocking than the costumes in modern metropolises during the Chinese New Year, because all of them are manual manpower, so you can imagine how time-consuming and laborious it takes to dress up like this.
"Every two days a year, Qingshi County is very lively." Xue Wuyi walked beside Liu Meiniang, carefully protecting Liu Meiniang, there were too many people coming and going, Xue Wuyi always paid attention, afraid that someone would bump into Liu Meiniang.
