Chapter 56: The Return of Childe

Li Minglou didn't think about anyone.

My mother and father died, and they were all in another place, and we would always see each other.

My brother lives in this world, although we can't see each other often, I receive letters from him every month, and she knows that he is doing well, and she doesn't miss anything.

It was like that in that life, and it is still like this in this life.

The people around you should be around you, and those who are not around know what they are doing.

People come and go, and she has nothing to worry about.

If it is said that this is because of relatives, it is not the relationship between men and women, and the relationship between men and women is different.

In that life, Xiang Nan and her were husband and wife, she liked Xiang Nan, after all, the young father's order was trusted by the elders, and they sent letters to and fro to send affection, and when she saw what he said in the letter, she sent a gift with the letter, she would laugh, and she would write to him and send gifts.

But she didn't think about him.

When she eats, she eats, when she rides up the mountain to have fun, when she looks at the scenery at home, she only thinks of him when she sees his letter.

But now she often thinks of Wu Ya'er.

It doesn't work to put his paintings away.

She would think of him sitting on the bed and smiling at her, of what he said to her as he walked in the palace...... He'd actually only met her three times, and he didn't have much to think about.

But these few things always appear over and over again, and they become many, many more.

Even if she was done with that, she would still think about what he was doing now.

Li Minglou held his face with both hands, and it was like this again, when she thought of him, her face was as hot as fire, hotter than her hands, arms, legs and feet, and even if she buried her face in the water, it was useless, in the water, thinking of him, it would still be hot.

Li Minglou sighed heavily.

What she wants him to do, what he is doing has nothing to do with her.

Probably because it's fresh, I've seen people I haven't seen in my previous life, that's right, in my last life, she was a little curious about Wu Ya'er, and she could see and become a person she knew in this life, so she couldn't help but think about it.

When it's ripe again, after the freshness, I don't want to think about it.

Li Minglou sat up straight, let's think about the people on the way, how about Mrs. Wu and Kumquat on the road?

Why did Mrs. Wu have a cough?

What will happen to Wu Ya'er when she sees her mother?

What happens when he receives her letter?

She didn't write the letter this time, what would he think?

What is he doing now?

......

......

Winter can't stop the pedestrians on the road, some people are running for life, and some people are running towards their homes.

"Home?" Lian Xiaoqiang sat in the car, wrapped in a thick cloak and holding warm tea, "Where is home?" To be exact, Shangzhou is home, and if you go afar, Tongjiang is home, take a step back and say, now Jiannan Province is also home, but it is the capital, no matter how you say it, it can't be home. ”

He squinted at Lian Xiaojun.

"Although everyone says that you are the mistress of Mrs. Chu Guo, don't forget yourself, you haven't even seen Mrs. Chu's face, don't really take Mrs. Chu as your home."

"We businessmen, where the business is, where is the home." Lian Xiaojun said.

This car is luxurious and bulky and can make the road more comfortable, but there are always bumps in the road, and even the teacup in Xiao Qiang's hand spilled water when a bump came out, wetting the white cloak he was wearing, and he was distressed and hurriedly put the teacup down and wiped it hard.

He hadn't worn such good clothes for a long time, when the Lian family was rich, his age was not enough to wear such a gorgeous and expensive one, so he could only watch the elders in the family swagger, and when he could swagger, the Lian family was torn apart and scattered in other places, and it would be good to be well fed and clothed.

followed Lian Xiaojun to do business in this troubled world, and finally put on such good clothes, but he didn't wear enough of them, and he complained even more fiercely.

"Our business is booming in Jiannan Road, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, how can we run to the capital when the business is the most critical?"

Lian Xiaojun smiled: "Why did you forget, our biggest business is with Mrs. Chu." ”

Even Xiaoqiang really forgot: "That's all because you have been doing business so much this year." ”

They seem to have gone to Jiannan Province to buy food for Mrs. Chu Guo, although Lian Xiaojun deceived Li Mingyu.... He got the permission to sell grain, but he didn't just buy and sell grain, he did a lot of mess.

I have food in my hand now, but it is not a lot.

"It's not enough to enter the eyes of Mrs. Chu Guo." Lian Xiaoqiang reminded him, "Grain merchants in Jiannan Province, we haven't confiscated it yet, why are you in a hurry to come back?" Wouldn't it be more beautiful to put it away and bring it back? ”

"You are wrong, we can't collect this grain, we want Mrs. Chu to collect it." Lian Xiaojun took a sip of the tea on the table and smiled, "This is the most critical step and the most beautiful." ”

At this he sighed lightly and reached out to lift the curtain to look out.

"More than a year has passed."

When he left Mrs. Chu was in the spring of the sixth year of Chengyuan, and now he came back in the winter of the seventh year of Chengyuan, it was really time to fly, and Mrs. Chu also left Huainan Road, went to the capital, and sat in the palace hall of the capital.

No matter how he walked, the little woman always asked him to look up.

"For more than a year, Han Xu has sent soldiers and horses to guard the capital for Mrs. Chu, Xiang Nan led troops to guard Huainan Road for Mrs. Chu, and Wudu Governor gave up as Mrs. Chu to lead Ankang Mountain, Madame still remembers me?

......

......

Li Minglou really forgot Lian Xiaojun, and when she heard the report from Middle Six, she was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered.

Li Minglou called Jiang Liang and asked, "Isn't he doing business on Jiannan Road?" ”

She knew that Lian Xiaojun would often write letters, Jiang Liang looked at the important ones and told her about them, and then listened to her opinions and wrote back, she basically had no opinions, compared to Xiang Nan and Han Xu, who held the power of life and death in the hands of soldiers, Lian Xiaojun She really didn't pay much attention.

Jiannan Dao is not another place, it is more stable than under her nose.

Jiang Liang heard that Lian Xiaojun was back, so he stood in the room and stomped his feet: "This person, why don't you say anything in advance when you come back." ”

It seems that he doesn't know either, Li Minglou asked, "How is his business lately?" Nothing is wrong, right? ”

Jiang Liang shook his head: "No, I said that everything went well, and I said that I would live up to my wife's heart." He smiled again, "Of course, what is believed is also a statement, and it is not credible." ”

Of course, the words on the letter are not credible, the letters she wrote to others are all fake, and of course she will not take the letters written to her seriously.

Li Minglou sent Jiang Liang away, and asked Zhongliu again, Zhongliu said: "There is nothing over there in Jiannan Road, although the third master is not there, Min Ye is not there, there is Grandpa Lin in charge of the official mansion and everything is running normally, even Xiaojun came to Grandpa Lin and wanted to meddle in Jiannan Dao, but he was refused, that is, he was in business, or he could only buy and sell grain, and nothing else was allowed." ”

Then it's fine.

It should be what Jiang Liang said, the business is almost done, and it is time to report the good news to Mrs. Chu Guo.

"It's really timely." Li Minglou said to Yuan Ji, "It's winter, and there are more people flocking to the capital, and there is not enough food. ”

"It's all to blame Wu Ya'er, he recovered Hebei Province, and the road to the capital is safe, and he doesn't support the people to support the city, and many people in Hebei Province are running to the capital." Yuanji said dissatisfied.

"There is a specialization in the art industry." Li Minglou said, Wu Ya'er's talent is to lead the troops to fight, he can't raise the city and support the people, and he won't do anything that he can't do, "Now that Liu Fan is back, Jiang Liang said that he doesn't want to go to Linzhou, so let him go to Hebei Dao, and go there to collect the officials of the Yamen of the province." ”

Why did the topic turn to Wu Ya'er again? Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it, let's come in with Xiaojun first." ”

Li Minglou no longer thought about Wu Ya'er, and smiled slightly: "I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

I haven't seen him for a long time, even Xiaojun has changed his appearance again, he walked slowly in the winter snow, wearing a white fur fur, with a jade crown on his head, and his shoes are decorated with gems, and the palace maids who are used to seeing handsome men and beauties in the world are also shocked.

Li Minglou personally greeted him in front of the gate of the palace, as in the past, with a black cloak covering his whole body, and his bag holding a black umbrella to shield him from the wind and snow.

Seeing Li Minglou, Lian Xiaojun's pace quickened, and his robe flew like a crane.

Li Minglou spoke one step ahead of him: "I thought you wouldn't come back." ”

Obviously she said that if she didn't do a good thing, she didn't have to come back, but Lian Xiaojun looked at the face she couldn't see in front of her affectionately, and said, "Why am I reluctant not to come back." ”

Li Minglou smiled and walked into the palace with him, the palace maids were all outside, and the coaxing was slightly chaotic.

"Who is beautiful between him and Wududu?"

"Wudu Governor is not as good as him...."

However, the palace maids did not rely on a face like the ordinary people in the outside world to determine that Mrs. Chu preferred this Lian Xiaojun, they had seen more falsehoods and knew better what true feelings were.

Several palace maids looked into the hall, and Mrs. Chu sat opposite Lian Xiaojun under the cover of her robe.

Madame, she didn't let him see her face.

And the lady was even bare in front of the Wudu Governor.

......

......

Li Minglou said: "I've been worried about you, and I'm only out with a few thousand people in chaos." ”

Even Xiaojun looked at Li Minglou, who was covering the layers in the room, and he couldn't see the worry from his voice or face, he smiled and said: "Madame is too worried, this army is chaotic, but not everyone can have thousands of soldiers and horses as guards, plus Madame's banner, no one dares to provoke me when I walk sideways in Daxia." ”

Li Minglou smiled and asked, "How did I let you do it?" ”

didn't even greet him, and even Xiaojun sighed: "Madam is really cruel to me." Then he smiled again, "This way I want to please my wife even more." ”

He took off his cloak, took out a booklet, and put it in front of Li Minglou: "There is everything that Madame wants." ”

Li Minglou stretched out his hand to pick it up and said, "Is it food?" I've been thinking about it for a long time. ”

She opened the booklet, which was an account book, with the names and numbers of many people written down, but the amount was not the grain bought, but the money, how much money someone in a certain place had borrowed, how much money someone in a certain place had borrowed, and the amount was very small at first, but gradually it became larger and larger......

Li Minglou doesn't recognize someone written on it, although the place name is different, but Li Minglou is not unfamiliar, they all belong to a jurisdiction, Jiannan Road.

"Madam, dozens of grain-producing families and large grain merchants in Jiannan Province are all in the hands of Madame, and whether they live or die is determined by Madame."

Lian Xiaojun's clear and happy voice sounded in his ears.

Li Minglou was cold all over his body.

Li Mingyu was negligent, she was negligent, and the entire Jiannan Dao was negligent.

Lian Xiaojun went in and out to buy, sell and sell, and it took a year not to buy enough grain in Jiannan Dao, but to hold half of the food lifeline of Jiannan Dao.

His purpose was not food at all.
