Chapter Ninety-Six: Troubled Times Have Red Faces as Companions
Li Minghua knew that the official office had a lot of documents, but he didn't know that there were so many of them.
"There weren't so many of them before." Governor Hu said with a smile on the side, picked up a few books on the autumn harvest and winter resettlement of the people's livelihood that he had just finished reading and handed them to Li Minghua, and sighed a little, "Everything in the peaceful and prosperous era has a fixed rule, and you can know what happened tomorrow and the day after tomorrow or even in a year with your eyes closed, but now it is different." ”
Now there are new changes all the time, there are cities recovered, some cities are lost, some generals are killed in battle, some generals rebel, and every day I wake up with a feeling of not knowing the world.
"For example, the matter of Mrs. Chu Guo, I originally thought it was an ordinary victory." Hu Zhifu said, as the news kept coming, "I knew that the process was so dangerous, and it was related to the distant Fanyang victory." ”
Li Minghua nodded, thinking of this matter, he looked at the documents handed by Hu Zhifu and waved his hand: "It's good that adults have read it, I won't read these daily affairs." ”
She saw the military movements in Jiannan Dao, Shannandao and other places, because she held the talisman given by Jiannandao, which was to share Mingyu's worries for Jiannandao.
There is no need for these livelihood matters in Jiangling Mansion, she is not a court official after all.
Hu Zhifu shook his head: "The military is related to many things, if you want to master the military deployment of a place, you must know all the things in a place, even the weather changes, the river flows to the mountains and rivers, not to mention the people's livelihood, knowing these can better understand Jiangnan Province, talk to General Jiwei and do things without stage fright, and explain to Li Xiaodu Governor that the situation here can also be clearer and clearer." ”
Hu Zhifu gave another example.
"For example, Mrs. Chu Guo, she knows not only the movement of soldiers and horses, but even that she pays more attention to the people's livelihood than the military, from the earliest times, she has mastered the food, drink, housing and transportation of the people, giving porridge to take in the homeless, maintaining the prosperity of the city, and even lending soldiers and horses to merchants as guards."
"Why did she do this? Don't have a lot of money to spend? There are too many soldiers to use? It is because the people are the source of soldiers. ”
"Of course, this is also because of the kindness of Mrs. Chu."
The last sentence is also the scene words, there is no mercy in the world without reason and without desire, and the gods still want incense.
Li Minghua listened carefully, got up and took it solemnly with both hands: "Thank you for your advice." ”
Hu Zhifu was not polite, calmly accepted her salute, and said earnestly: "Now the world is different, your eldest uncle is not here, you juniors are not children, fathers and sons, sisters and brothers, can help each other." ”
Li Minghua nodded again: "I remember." ”
The two talked happily in the hall, and the scribes on both sides were busy in an orderly manner, and some soldiers jumped in.
"Miss Minghua, our lady of Chu Guo sent you a letter." He shouted waving his hand.
The four words of Mrs. Chu Guo made everyone in the hall look at it in surprise.
"Is there something going on in Huainan Province?" Governor Hu asked, stood up and was about to take it with both hands.
The little soldier raised the letter above his head: "It's for Miss Minghua." ”
This attitude! However, the people in the hall are also used to it, this little soldier is our Mrs. Chu State, and it is obvious that it is the group of disobedient Chu soldiers.
Li Minghua stopped him and explained to Hu Zhifu and others: "I wrote a letter to Mrs. Chu Guo earlier, not in the name of Jiangling Mansion, but in my own name. "I just expressed my gratitude and admiration, but I didn't expect her to write back to me." ”
Hu Zhifu understood, and said with a smile: "Well done, you and Mrs. Chu are both women, in addition to the name of the Taoist government, you can also do boudoir contacts, this is a good thing for you and our Jiangnan Province, Miss Minghua, go quickly." ”
Li Minghua was not polite, he couldn't hide his excitement and joy, and couldn't wait to see the reply from Mrs. Chu to her, so he said goodbye and left.
Governor Hu pointed to the documents on the table: "Sort out the documents that Miss Minghua hasn't finished reading and send them to the Li Mansion in a while." ”
The hall was full of officials from the prefect's yamen, and Chu Jun followed Li Minghua away, and everyone spoke a lot more casually.
"My lord, really teach Miss Minghua." An official said, lowering his voice, "She is a little girl, does she still want to really meddle in the affairs of the government?" ”
Governor Hu smiled.
"It's to teach her, but it's not for her." He said, "In the troubled times, there are knives and guns everywhere, there are not enough fathers and sons and brothers in the family, and women also have to use them, she is just a bridge for us to communicate with the men of her family." ”
The officials laughed and said, "I thought that the adults were going to teach a Mrs. Chu in our Jiangnan Dao." ”
"It's not bad that we can have a Mrs. Chu in Jiangnan Province." Governor Hu smiled and shook his head again, "But Mrs. Chu is not something that anyone can do." ”
First of all, Li Mingyu is not Wu Ya'er, if it is Li Feng'an, it is almost the same, and besides, Mrs. Chu Guo does not rely on her husband alone.
However, whether it is Miss Minghua of the Li family or Mrs. Chu Guo of the Wu family, after the troubled times are calmed down, they still have to return to the inner house to be a wife and sister.
So, don't worry too much about these women.
These officials don't care about the women, and the women care a lot about the women's letters.
Li Minghua had already read Mrs. Chu's letter twice, his face was flushed, his eyes were bright, and he was excited and happy.
"What did Mrs. Chu say?" The maids around them were curious and puzzled, which changed the appearance of Miss Minghua they were familiar with.
Although he had read it twice, Li Minghua still couldn't seem to remember the content of the letter, and when he heard the inquiry and read the letter again, a smile overflowed in his eyes: "She is praising me." ”
The maid was even more puzzled, did Miss Minghua receive less praise now? It can be said that we live in praise every day, and these praises come from officers and soldiers, with words, actions, and eyes, and they are true and unpretentious.
In the face of these praises, can Miss Minghua be indifferent and be so excited by Mrs. Chu's praise? Because is Mrs. Chu a woman?
But they still remember that Miss Minghua has always cared about women's praise, unlike Miss Mingqi, who always takes pleasure in making women of all ages and young at home and outside the house.
"She complimented me, which was very nice." Li Minghua said, reading the letter again, "It goes to my heart." ”
It's not so gorgeous, it's not very exaggerated, it's like the yellow warbler is chirping, tactful and beautiful, and the uncontrollable joy when you hear it, like boiling spring water, like a cat's paw scratching her heart, wanting to laugh and trying to endure it, her heart is pounding, Li Minghua has to press the letter in her heart.
Mrs. Chu knew her and praised her as a rare girl in the world, the so-called rare because she did not dare to do what others did not dare to do like the girls in the world.
When she heard her story, it was like seeing herself in a mirror.
Although they had never met, she and she were as familiar as they had seen in their previous lives.
She was so happy to hear from her.
Li Minghua picked up the letter and looked down: "Compared with what I praised her, I look like Mrs. Chu Guo." ”
The letters she writes are rigid and boring, and she looks like a fake person in comparison.
Mrs. Chu praised her for not being in the words, but in the spirit between the lines, smart and interesting, she seemed to see her stretching out her hand to her: "Hongchen, you and I are companions, and the troubled times are not lonely." ”
Li Minghua couldn't help but purse his lips and smile again, pressed the letter in his heart, and walked around the room, and his skirt fluttered back to the table.
She can be Mrs. Chu's companion, and in the eyes of Mrs. Chu, she is the same person as her.
Li Minghua stood firm on the table, her eyes were bright and her expression was firm, she wanted to be like Mrs. Chu Guo, she wanted to be able to stand side by side with her.
The maids glanced at each other, did Mrs. Chu really just reply to the young lady? Why did the young lady read the letter like a young girl with spring.
