Hu Zhifu and Xiang Yun began to be busy, while Li Minghua was idle.

Although the Li family's mansion was demolished, Li Minghua still went home, the front yard was demolished, the garden where the girls lived was still intact, and the Li family's servants, relatives, friends and people went all out to pack up the family house to welcome Miss Minghua, who had never been valued before.

First, the Li family has an eldest lady, secondly, Mrs. Li favors Li Mingqi alone, and third, Li Mingran is the second old man's young daughter, so this old man's daughter can only be ranked fourth.

didn't expect this dispensable Miss Minghua to bring back soldiers and horses to rescue them.

There are so many people in the Li family, this Miss Minghua came back with soldiers and horses, and it will never be insignificant because Miss Minghua is dispensable at home.

Although Miss Minghua did not say it explicitly, the officers and soldiers had already spread the word, and it was Miss Minghua who took the initiative to ask Ying to bring the troops back.

This girl, who has never been cared about by Gangneung Mansion, is worried about Gangneung Mansion, and she is not afraid of death regardless of danger.

Hot water, hot rice, clean clothes, rouge, and gouache were all placed in front of Li Minghua's eyes, and there were even jewelry.

Li Minghua looked at the box in front of her with some surprise, the jewelry in it was even more exquisite than her own.

She didn't have a lot of jewelry and took it with her, and it was impossible to leave such beautiful jewelry at home.

The maids and servants who were waiting on the side hurriedly pointed to the string of Zhu Hai's golden hairpin beads to introduce which servant woman sent this and which Li family's relatives and friends sent it.....

Li Minghua was a little surprised and sighed, he didn't expect these servants and relatives and friends to be so rich, and he didn't expect that he would receive such a valuable gift.

She reached out and stroked the jewels and looked at the girl beside her: "You ....."

"Slave Chun Tao."

"Miss Minghua, I'm Ah Liu."

The girls around me rushed to report their names.

The maids and servants with status in the family all followed them to Jiannan Road, and those who stayed behind were all inferior servants, and now that Miss Minghua is back, the original waiters around her are not there, this is their opportunity.

Li Minghua glanced at it, and pointed to one with a clear heart: "Ah Liu, you put it away first, I don't bring jewelry at this time." ”

The chosen girl put the jewels into the box under the envious eyes of the others, and happily put them away seriously.

"Miss Minghua." A servant woman came in, carrying a box in her hand, "The lady of the Wu family at the head of the city has sent a good ginseng, you see..."

Li Minglou called the girl's name again: "You accept it and thank you for me." ”

Although she couldn't take charge of Miss Minghua's personal treasures, she was also a girl with status to take care of the gifts she sent, and the girl happily took the small box, and the servant woman was also very happy, which showed that the young lady received the gift, and she could reply to many people's words.

Li Minghua didn't want to turn away these gifts, she had no one to give gifts before, but now she deserves to be given gifts by others.

This is what she deserves, and it is what she has exchanged for courage and life.

Thinking of this, her heart pounded again, looking in the mirror that her complexion was no longer fair, her expression was haggard, and her lips were chapped girls who she didn't recognize, and the corners of the girl's mouth curled and smiled.

She didn't become someone different from others, she just became the kind of person she wanted to be.

You can choose, choose to do what you want to do, and you are not afraid of difficulties and obstacles.

And it worked.

Li Minghua stroked his cheek with his hand, feeling the heat of his palm, like a dream, and thinking that it should actually be a nightmare, if he could, he would rather not have this dream..... Sometimes happy and sometimes sighing, throwing away these chaotic thoughts, the exhaustion of more than 20 days drowned her into a deep sleep.

Although there is a prefect and Xiang Yun in Jiangling Mansion, Li Minghua is not completely idle, she slept deeply day and night, and she went out at dawn the next day.

After the night, the streets were cleaned, the wounded and the dead were no longer lying on the streets, although the ruins and blood stains were still everywhere, and the people walking here and there looked sad and tired, but the atmosphere was much calmer.

Most of the people working on the streets are people, and then the officials are running around, inquiring about the homeless people one by one, and then guiding them to a place to gather, receive free porridge and distribute work to work, and the locals of Gangneung Province register how many people in the family, how many were injured, how many died, and how many remained......

In the summer, he looked tired, his body was wet with sweat, and his voice was hoarse.

When guarding Gangneung Province, there were many casualties among the generals and officials, but now their numbers are very small, and it seems that they have not rested.

The officials were followed by the soldiers, and the soldiers did not work, but only followed the officials, and easily talked and laughed and watched the officials check the people in Gangneung Mansion.

Seeing Li Minghua, everyone was busy saying hello.

"What are you doing?" Li Minghua asked these soldiers, who recognized them as bandits, "Why don't you help?" ”

The bandits were uninhibited and said, "We can't read. "We don't understand anything."

Li Minghua frowned and said, "Then you can do something else." ”

For example, cleaning the streets, treating and burying casualties.

The bandits shook their heads and said, "That's not going to work." "We're here to help." "In case someone doesn't cooperate, we're going to help arrest them." "You said we're in charge of security in the city." "It's the most important thing to find out and manage people well."

Isn't that quite a bit of understanding? Li Minghua frowned, and asked these things in detail, investigated the people, unified management of the displaced people, and handed over the soup soup to the government, which was all requested by the Chu army.

Li Minghua came to the place where the displaced people in the east of the city were, passed through several dilapidated houses, and met the eldest brother of the bandit in them.

He was playing dice with four or five bandits, and Li Minghua didn't stop when he arrived.

"yes, I made it happen." He said.

Li Minghua said: "Now that the rebels have retreated, shouldn't we strengthen the city defense?" What is such a tired Cha Ren Ding doing? ”

The man scratched his head with one hand, stared at the gambling game on the table with both eyes, and snorted twice: "How do I know, that's what I did anyway, arrange the people, and the city will be fine." ”

What are you talking about? Li Minghua frowned, and was about to say another more, when someone outside ran in to find Li Minghua: "Outside it is said that reinforcements from Mrs. Chu of Huainan Province have arrived." ”

The reinforcements of the real Mrs. Chu have arrived.

As soon as these words came out, the noisy room suddenly fell silent, and the shouting thieves quieted down, looking panicked.

If it's really here, aren't they going to be exposed?

The locust squatting on the side hugged Chengqing's big axe tightly, collected some gold and silver and ran early.

Li Minghua looked at a room of bandits who had turned into quails, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll go see them, and I'll explain to them that since you killed the enemy, no matter who you were before, you are all meritorious now." ”

The thieves didn't speak, they all looked at the man, the man's expression was still relaxed, he waved his hand to say hello, and pushed out the bet in his hand and laughed: "I won, I won, give money, give money." ”

The eldest brother's order was even more terrible than the arrival of reinforcements from Zhenhuai South Road, and the bandits immediately came back to their senses and gave money one after another, and the stagnation in the house was broken and became noisy again.

Is it to pretend to be calm, or to trust her? Li Minghua thought in his heart, and looked at the man who had won the money, stroked his sideburns with both hands, and his face was full of smug smiles.....

Sensing her gaze, the man looked over and raised his eyebrows at her with a smile.

Li Minghua turned around and walked out.

......

......

The main reinforcement general of the Lady of Chu in Huainan Province was a young man named Zhou Shi, who had been welcomed to the government by the Hu Governor's Mansion.

After the Hu prefect thanked him, he praised the mightiness of the Chu army, and when Li Minghua came in, he was shocked when he saw the main general, but he did not categorically say that there was no Chu army in Huainan Province, but listened carefully to what the Hu prefect said.

"I don't know where the Chu army is, since I'm here, I should see it." Zhou Shi said.

Li Minghua stepped forward and said, "They are all in charge of city defense in the city, General Zhou, please sit down for a while." ”

Zhou Shi sighed, no objection, but he didn't sit down either, and his young and calm face flashed.

This is a general who is not easy not to be convinced, especially now that he is suspicious.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little strange, and Governor Hu noticed that he was a little puzzled.

"General Zhou, please listen to me in detail." Li Minghua could only give an explanation immediately, but first he wanted to avoid Governor Hu's mansion, and was about to find an unclever excuse to ask Governor Hu to avoid it, when soldiers ran in outside the door.

"Lvshuai Zhou." He said, holding a letter in his hand, "What the chief general of the Chu army said to you, let you bring it to Madame." ”

This guy, Li Minghua was surprised, what was he going to do? Do you still want to cheat? The soldiers of Mrs. Chu of Huainan Province are not a little girl like her!

Why didn't this person listen to her, and took it upon himself to draw snakes.....

It was so sudden that Li Minghua didn't know how to stop it.

Zhou Shi stretched out his hand to take the letter and opened it without hesitation.

Li Minghua's eyes were fixed on Zhou Shi, and although Governor Hu didn't know why, he also looked at Zhou Shi, and the atmosphere in the hall froze again, until Zhou Shi raised his head.

"I see." He said, folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, and then looked at Li Minghua and Hu Zhifu, "Please tell me how you defend the city, and what is the movement of the rebels now, Madame is very worried when she receives the letter from your lord." ”

That's it? Li Minghua was a little surprised, what did that man write? Unexpectedly, this general stopped asking?

But since the other party didn't ask anymore, of course she wouldn't take the initiative to bring up the topic, and quietly stepped back and sat down.

In the hall, the voice of Governor Hu recounting the defense of the city sounded in a subdued voice.
