Chapter 3 Spring Rain
"That's the way it is!"
After telling the bearded man about the assassination, he slapped his hands on the table.
"I cut down that knife first, and the cut surface can prove that I cut off the head first!"
The dishes and chopsticks on the table were slapped by him, and Ah Liu's eyes lit up when he listened: "So that's the case." ”
Li Minghua said: "Do you still eat the banquet?" ”
Xiang Qi sat down and poured wine with a wine jug: "That uncle went crazy and snatched my head, and I chased him all the way to Jiannan Road." ”
Li Minghua knew that this was to pay tribute to Li Feng'an, although Li Feng'an was the son of the Li family, he would be buried in Jiannan Road before his death, the reason was that he was not worried about Jiannan Road, and he would move back to the ancestral grave after his children grew up.
"I saw that the uncle was crying pitifully, and knelt down and begged me again." Xiang Qiu said, "I will allow him to bury the head of the person I killed in front of the grave of Li Feng'an, but I have already explained in front of the grave that the person who killed Xiang Yun is Xiang Qiu." ”
Li Minghua didn't go into detail about the truth of his words, and sighed: "It turns out that the death of the eldest uncle has such a hidden secret. ”
Thinking that Li Minglou escaped from the road to Taiyuan Mansion halfway at that time, thinking that Li Minglou hid in the house with his head and face covered and no one in sight, thinking that the son-in-law of the Xiang family came to the door, and the family was entertained with laughter and laughter......
I can't imagine what kind of mood and reason Li Minglou is in, step by step.
Ah Liu said in a low voice: "Miss, why don't you also talk to the family." ”
Li Minghua said: "Who can she talk to?" ”
Home? Who can help her?
Now the well-informed Ah Liu also understands that when she doesn't speak, she suddenly feels that the eldest lady who is envied by everyone is actually very pitiful.
But fortunately, the bitterness is not in vain, Li Minghua picked up the wine glass: "Xiang Qiu, I am the eldest uncle, I will give you a glass." ”
Xiang Qiu's heart bloomed, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Because it's about the personal grudge between Jiannan Dao and Xiang Yun." Li Minghua said, "The world only knows that Xiang Yun died and the hand of Jiannan Dao, not that it is you, I will tell others more." ”
He waved his hand at the beard: "I don't care about this, as long as the person who entrusted me knows." ”
As for whether that person was Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Chu State, or Miss Jiannan Dao, he didn't care.
Li Minghua picked up his glass again: "Then congratulations to the bearded man who promised to live up to his trust." ”
Xiang Beard laughed, picked up his glass and drank it all.
"Then will you go back to the princess of the capital next?" Li Minghua asked.
"I met my wife Pingshui, the kindness and righteousness have disappeared twice, the ranger travels around, and I don't go to the capital." Xiang Qi took a big bite of meat, and pointed to the wine jug, "This wine is good, ten more pots." ”
Li Minghua said: "Then do you want to stay in Jiangling Mansion?" What are you going to do? Enlistment in the army or as an officer? ”
Xiang Qi glared: "Why should I do things to Qi Beard?" ”
Li Minghua ignored him and said to Ah Liu: "Settle the account, and return the rest of the wine and food." ”
Aliu pursed her lips and smiled, and turned to leave.
Xiang Qiu sighed a few times: "Why are you so unrighteous?" ”
Li Minghua said: "You are entrusted by the female marquis, and she will thank you if you want to, now that Jiangnan Province is short of money everywhere, your table can be worth half a year's ration for a family of three, and I have enough money for you." ”
Xiang sneered: "It's really a little girl." ”
Li Minghua stood up and walked out, called her to the beard again, and stroked his sideburns: "If you have anyone who wants to kill, tell me." ”
Li Minghua smiled, glared at him and turned around.
There was a shout to the bearded man behind him.
"It can't be without! What about your sister? What kind of lady did you come here last time? ”
"You don't need to kill, you can beat it."
Li Minghua smiled and ignored it and walked out, standing outside the door and not walking away, Ah Liu smiled and asked, "Is the wine and food really retreating?" ”
Li Minghua said: "How to return it after you do it, waste the grain, you don't need to add more." ”
Aliu smiled and replied.
The two walked out, and an official came to them and said, "Miss Minghua, the officials in charge of the permanent department from all over the country have arrived." ”
Changke will be one of the most important things next year, and there is no room for mistakes, Li Minghua nodded, and followed the officials to the main hall of the yamen.
Since the order to open a regular department, this is the biggest thing that has been taken over in the state capital where Taiping is located, and until the beginning of the thirteenth year of Chengyuan, the detailed preparations from all over the country were summarized and sent to Li Minglou's desk.
The court of the New Year's Festival was also busy.
"It can start in March at the latest." Jiang Liang read the news of the discussion in the court to Li Minglou, "According to the requirements of my wife, I will try to expand the scope of selection, but it is strictly forbidden to select the general list." ”
Li Minglou nodded: "It's not impossible to have a list, it's not suitable now, wait for three or five years when the whole world is on the right track, and then choose people in a variety of ways." ”
Jiang Liang responded and said with a smile: "This has already made the world boil, and there have been a lot of articles and poems about Mrs. recently." ”
Li Minglou sat down and smiled: "Write me?" What do I have to write about? ”
"Madame has a lot to write." Jiang Liang immediately said, "How many things has Madame done, for example, today everything is inseparable from Madame, Shinong Industry and Commerce..."
Jiang Liang wrenched his hands and counted, and then looked at Li Minglou and sighed.
"Madame has been suppressing bandits in Dou County for almost ten years now, and Madame has done too many things in the past ten years."
"Even if you don't write these things, your lady's beauty can be written all year round."
"I still don't know the unfamiliar lady, if I were to write it, I would have more than them."
The more Jiang Liang spoke, the more excited he became, and he was really moved, and he was ready to write some poems and songs himself.
Li Minglou laughed: "Forget it, you can't do what I asked you to do, why don't you find a few people to help you?" Are you concentrating on writing me essays and poems? ”
"Madame doesn't need me to use my pen as a knife anymore." Jiang Liang immediately shook his head with a smile, and stretched out his sleeves proudly, "Just one regular subject will let the world's scholars read the blade for the lady." ”
He pulled out a stack of poetry and essay booklets.
"Madam, the one who writes the most praise articles and poems is the Southeast Dao."
Two years ago, Qi Shan fled back to the Southeast Province and was killed by his in-law Sun, and dedicated Qi Shan's body to the imperial court, and at the same time held the power of the Southeast Province.
The Sun clan was deeply entrenched in the southeast province, and the people were convinced, although Li Mingyu personally led the troops to take charge, and the implementation of various measures was slow.
"But now it's different, and the people who read are starting to speak."
"Soldiers and horses cannot raise swords and spears against the people, they can use their tongues as swords and spears."
"If the status of the scholars wants to be higher and more stable, it is inseparable from scientific research, official positions, and prestige in the imperial court."
"Now that the Sun family and others are blocking their way out, they are about to bite."
"The slang songs praising Madame's poetry and singing and cursing Sun's have been circulated among the people of Southeast Province."
"Wait until this year's Changke list, the title of the gold list, the imperial palace asks for advice, gives new robes with golden flowers, and crosses the street on horses."
Jiang Liang twisted his beard and smiled, his older but more energetic face shone brightly.
"It's Sun's death in Southeast Dao! Moreover, it is very likely that he will die at the hands of his own people. ”
For example, Sun's in-laws.
Jiang Liang guessed with great interest, and even wanted to go to the Southeast Road himself to help them.
"You don't want to go out." Li Minglou interrupted him, "Let's live well in the capital." ”
Jiang Liang responded happily: "I listen to Madame, and I will be where Madame is." ”
I wanted to go back and write a letter to Liu Fan immediately, letting him know that Mrs. was reluctant to leave the capital by herself, which showed her status in Mrs. 's heart.
He thought of Liu Fan, and Li Minglou also thought of other people outside.
She asked, "Han Xu, how are you doing?" ”
After killing Xiang Yun, Li Minglou was in a hurry to return to Beijing and did not see Han Xu again, and was taken care of by Li Mingyu, and afterwards Li Mingyu asked him if he wanted to enter Beijing, Han Xu refused to leave, Li Mingyu of course refused, and asked Li Minglou for instructions.
Li Minglou did not let Han Xu forcibly enter Beijing, and asked Li Mingyu to send him back to Linzhou.
She didn't write a letter to Han Xu, but only asked people to bring a sentence: "Linzhou will be handed over to adults." ”
Han Xu did not respond, nor did he resist, and went to Linzhou.
For more than two years, he never had official correspondence with the imperial court, but the orders issued by the imperial court were carried out in Linzhou.
Jiang Liang smiled: "It's still like that, I heard Zhongli say that I have a new hobby this year." ”
Li Minglou asked curiously: "What is it?" ”
Jiang Liang said: "Raise flowers." ”
It's sustenance and evasion, Li Minglou can understand, for Han Xu, there is really no way to face the fact that he killed the king, and he is powerless to change all this.
"As long as he doesn't seek death." She said, "He can do anything, let Nakazato and Osmanthus take care of him." ”
Madam is really more affectionate than Jin Jian, Jiang Liang sighed in his heart, Han Xu is useless now, and he is so good to him.
"How's Wu Ya'er?" Li Minglou sat up straight and asked, "Where have you been lately?" There are also some days when I haven't written back. ”
Madame is really an amorous person, Jiang Liang is very moved, and he is worried about it for seven or eight days without news of Wududu.
Although he didn't need to write any more letters now, he also paid attention to the movements of these people for his wife.
"A year ago, I was in Henan Road and settled in Songzhou." He said, "On the inspection document sent back last time, it was written that I was going to go to Southeast Province to have a look. ”
He pointed to the map on the side and smiled.
"Governor Wu is looking at the world for his wife, from the north to the south."
Li Minglou smiled: "I can't go out, he will take a look for me, and when I come back, I will ask him, what I did badly, I will change it." ”
Jiang Liang laughed: "Madam is right, what Wudu Governor sees must be the most real, listen to him." ”
The palace maid came in to report that Yuanji was coming, Jiang Liang got up to say goodbye, and when he walked out, Yuanji was still standing at the door, looking at him.
"Master Yuan, go in." Jiang Liang said, and reacted again, "Are you waiting for me?" What's up? ”
Yuan Ji glared at him: "What are you talking nonsense in there just now, why did you listen to Wudu Governor?" ”
Jiang Liang smiled: "You don't understand this, I'm talking about the Wudu Governor, but it's actually about the Madame, and the Dudu is right in the eyes of the Madame, so it's to praise the Madame." ”
Yuanji really doesn't understand, he's dizzy when he listens, who's right?
Jiang Liang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about this kind of child's mind, you can't figure it out." ”
After that, he walked over with a smile.
Yuan Ji frowned when he looked at his back, why couldn't he figure it out? Be all abroad!
......
......
The spring rain seemed to be coming from the middle of the night, Li Minglou faintly heard it in her sleep, but she didn't wake up from her heavy sleep, and when she opened her eyes in the early morning, she felt the real wetness.
She sat on the bed and looked out the window at the pouring rain, this year's spring rain came very early.
She thought of the time when she wrote to Wu Ya'er to ask if it was raining in Xiangzhou.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, so do you want to ask if it's raining where Wu Ya'er is now?
"Madame, you're awake." When the palace maid heard the movement, she lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "The governor of Wudu is here." ”
Ay? The phrase is the same as it was then.
Could it be that she is still asleep now? Is there really a martial crow in this dream?
Li Minglou tilted his head and looked out curiously past the palace maid, and saw the curtain fluttering in the wind, and a familiar figure loomed.
What a thing!
Li Minglou stood up and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”
Wu Ya'er saw the woman who came out from behind the curtain, she was wearing long black hair, bare feet, and smiling at him like stars in her eyes.
"I suddenly want to see you." "I came back early." ”
This is different from the last dream, Li Minglou thought, the palace maids surrounded her and wrapped her in a robe, "Madam, it's cold." "Ma'am, be careful with the wind." Really cut the sound of the warbler.
Li Minglou came back to his senses and felt the freshness of the water and the warm fragrance of the palace maids.
It's not a dream.
Li Minglou thought that yesterday Jiang Liang also said that Wu Ya'er was going to Southeast Dao, and now that he appeared in front of her, he could only turn back in advance.
"What's wrong?" She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Ya'er walked over slowly, stood in front of her, and reached out to hug her.
He muttered above her, "You, did you also have a dream?" ”
