Chapter 36: A Short Meeting
Night shrouded the palace, and the palace lights lit up in the palace, standing on the high roof, like a river of stars.
The palace maids carried lamps and hid in the darkness, and only two people walked in the galaxy.
Li Minglou combed his hair, tied his belt, and put on shoes decorated with pearls, and Yuan Ji said to the palace maids, don't let the governor worry about his wife suffering in the capital.
Wu Ya'er also changed out of his armor robe, wearing the dark pattern clothes that are most common among the children of rich families in the capital, and walked beside Li Minglou.
Li Minglou took him around the palace, but soon Wu Ya'er became the master, telling her that the first emperor played the piano here, and the concubine danced there, and the palace maids liked to dance in this pond, and there were stone piles standing in the pond, and the water was shallow.
Wu Ya'er said: "They are like flying on water. ”
Li Minglou followed him to see that the pool water shrouded in night had no lights, no water, and no charming palace people.
Li Minglou said: "I asked people to fill the pond, and when His Majesty comes back, it will be the same as before." ”
But that majesty will never come back, and this palace will not be the same again, Wu Ya'er smiled, and Li Minglou turned back to where she lived.
The place is surrounded by water.
"It's hot in the summer, and they fill it with water." Li Minglou said, "When the wind blows, it will be cool." ”
Now she lives here, and the palace ladies have done their best to make her comfortable.
Wu Ya'er pointed to the pond water and said, "I killed a lot of people here, and the pond water was dyed red at that time. ”
The lantern palace maids hidden in the dark were startled, this kind of topic makes the lady not comfortable, right?
Li Minglou was very interested and asked, "Is that the first time you entered Beijing to escort?" How did you get into the Imperial City? ”
At that time, they were not familiar with each other, and Li Minglou only knew that Wu Ya'er led the Zhenwu army into the city gate and entered the imperial city to exterminate the thieves and eunuchs in one fell swoop, but he didn't know the details.
I didn't know in my previous life, and she didn't know Wu Ya'er in her previous life, who would have thought that Wu Ya'er would stand beside her at this time and tell her about the past.
What Wu Ya'er said, Li Minglou suddenly couldn't hear it, she turned her head to look at him, and the palace lights shone like stars on his face.....
Motoyoshi Egin stood on the roof, unable to see the faces of the two standing side by side in front of the palace, nor could he hear them.
Fang Er flipped over and relayed what Li Minglou and Wu Ya'er said, he had been following left and right incognito, Li Minglou and Wu Ya'er didn't think it was strange, how could there be no guards around Mrs. Chu Guo.
"That's all?"
What was it like here in the palace before, what happened, Yuanji's brows have not been lowered, what is there to say about these?
"Haven't you said you want soldiers and food?"
Fang Er shook his head, and Jiang Ming said: "The number is too big to speak, and he is still greeting, which makes Miss pity him even more." ”
Then you can't let him pester Miss like this all night, right?
Jiang Ming twisted his beard and smiled: "What's so difficult about this?" Fill up the young lady's case, and you will have to make a decision tomorrow. ”
......
......
As Jiang Ming expected, the eldest lady was a calm and rational person, and when she heard the palace maid say that the official office had sent an official document, she stopped wandering.
"I'm going to deal with these things." She asked Wu Ya'er, "Do you want to rest or walk here by yourself?" ”
Wu Ya'er said, "I'll also go and sit in the hall." A little hungry. ”
He followed Li Minglou back to the palace, Li Minglou asked people to bring food, and he ate some with him, and then went to review the official documents, Wu Ya'er continued to eat slowly, while looking at the documents on the table and on the ground, and asked: "Do you have to read so much every day?" ”
Li Minglou said yes and asked him again.
"I watch it too, but not so much." Wu Ya'er said, holding a glass of wine and drinking it slowly.
It's still just the two of them indoors, and they can also chat and greet each other, but how could Jiang Ming let this happen? Soon he came in with a stack of papers.
"The food is still delicious, isn't it?"
"Would you like to add some more wine?"
"Madam, can they explain this like this? It would be better to write in more detail. ”
He sat down and waited for Li Minglou to dispose of the paperwork, chatting with Wu Ya'er by the way, and more often opening the paperwork to ask Li Minglou, he was busy with business, so he could only stop chatting first.
Yuanji took people in and out a few more times, took away the approved papers, and inquired about the matters that needed to be dealt with first.
The hall was busy but not chaotic, Wu Ya'er sat aside and did not speak again, nor did he leave, he ate and drank slowly, after eating, he washed his hands and rinsed his face under the service of the palace maid, and then stood up and pulled out a book from the bookshelf on the side, leaning on a few cases and looking ......
Li Minglou seemed to have forgotten his existence, and Wu Ya'er also seemed to have forgotten where he was.
He sat as if he were sitting in his tent, stretching his hands and feet without the slightest discomfort, sitting, and then lying down and reading.....
When Motoyoshi came in again, he found him asleep with his face covered by a book.
There was silence in the room for a while, Jiang Ming stopped talking, Li Minglou gently closed a book, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Give Du Du a pillow." ”
Wu Ya'er was lying on the bookshelf, the ground was covered with a thick blanket, more comfortable than the bed, the palace maids took pillows to help Wu Ya'er up, took down the book, let him lie down, and put a thin silk quilt on his body...... There is an underground spring water outside the Begonia Palace, and the summer night breeze blows all over the hall.
Wu Ya'er closed his eyes and let the strange palace maids stroke his head, pull his body, and wait for everything to be arranged for him to find a more comfortable posture and fall asleep.
Good intentions! When you sleep soundly on the side of the couch is when you are at your weakest, is there anything more sincere than showing yourself to others when you are at your weakest?
Jiang Ming admired in his heart, his expression became more determined, could he still survive him?
The document was delivered overnight, Li Minglou finished reading it, Jiang Ming called the official to whom the document belonged, do you understand it or not, can you make it clear one by one, until the sky is bright, Wu Ya'er stretched his waist and woke up, he actually slept until dawn!
Li Minglou put down his pen and yawned.....
Yuan Ji's eyes were full of red silk, he hadn't closed his eyes for a day or two nights, and he grabbed Wu Ya'er before he could speak: "Madam, rest quickly, I haven't rested for a day or two nights." ”
Li Minglou said: "What's the matter, I slept during the day." She looked at Wu Ya'er and smiled.
They fell asleep together.
When I woke up, I thought it was a dream.
Wu Ya'er also smiled at her.
Motoyoshi felt that feeling..... It was Fang Er's vigilance instinct that came again, he wanted to say something, Wu Ya'er stood up: "You are upside down in the morning, then you should rest now, I am also leaving." ”
Yuanji swallowed his words back and tensed his body, it's coming, it's coming!
Li Minglou was not surprised that he said to go: "Then you can leave after eating." ”
Wu Ya'er moved her hands and feet and made a creaking sound, and her whole body stretched out: "No, I've slept here for two nights, and I've slept enough, just bring some food and use it on the way." ”
Now is not the time for fine clothes and fine food, Li Minglou himself has also been running back and forth, knowing that time is more important than eating and drinking, she no longer advises, and said: "Then you go, when you arrive, someone will reply to the letter." ”
Wu Ya'er hummed, asked the palace maid to bring the armor and put it on, put on a hat again, covered half of her face, and then raised her hand to Yuanji Jiang Ming: "I'm leaving." ”
Yuanji Jiang Ming hurriedly returned the salute: "The governor has a safe journey." ”
Wu Ya'er looked at Li Minglou again: "You can rest." ”
Li Minglou smiled at him and nodded: "Mother is here, I'll write to tell you." ”
Wu Ya'er smiled and said with a good smile, turned around and strode out.
Yuanji Jiang was sent, watching him stride out, watching him walk away, watching his back disappear among the shadows and flowers, and watching ......
"Why don't you deliver it?" Li Minglou asked a little strangely.
Yuan Ji and Jiang Ming came back to their senses at this time, and they were really gone! They hurriedly followed.
"Governor, the horses are in the barracks."
"Shhhh
They were also frightened by Wu Ya'er's sudden coming, Li Minglou smiled, no longer paid attention to this matter, and slept under the embrace of the palace maid.
......
......
Yuan Ji stood outside the capital, watching the galloping soldiers and horses disappear into the sky, and his expression was still a little incredulous.
Wu Ya'er is gone like this?
They came with five people, and when they left, they still had five, and they only asked for ten more horses, not even more dry food.
So what the hell is he here for?
Yuan Ji turned his horse and ran back to the palace, but before he could see Li Minglou, he was stopped first.
This person was wearing an official robe and holding a thick booklet, his face was pale, his eyes were red, his thin body was swaying, it seemed that he was about to faint in the next moment, his voice was trembling and weak, and he asked, "Master Yuan, when will Madame see me?" ”
Yuan Ji was taken aback: "Lord Yu? Why are you here? ”
Although Yu Qian followed Li Minglou from Dou County to Gwangju Mansion to Huainan Road and then to the capital, he has always been like a warehouse official in Dou County, timid and cowardly, but fortunately he can hide in the house and see no one, only see the numbers, and avoid a lot of trouble.
At this time, when I heard Yuan Ji ask him rhetorically, I don't know if it was sleepy dizziness or dizziness, and I was angry!
"You made me here." He shouted, "Master Yuan, I'm very busy, I've been waiting for a day, a night and half a day!" What exactly is Madame asking? ”
He shoved the book in his hand into Yuanji's hand.
"If you want to ask what, my officials will come to me later."
He turned around and walked menacingly, although he stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold.
Yuan Ji couldn't help laughing, why is this person's temper becoming more and more like Lin?
But if it's Lin, he can't move.
Not to mention calling over and forgetting.
This is not to blame him, who let Wu Ya'er never say anything about borrowing food and soldiers, and the rest of the money has no chance to enter the palace and tell his wife how difficult the family is now, and there is no extra money.......
The restlessness seemed to dissipate with a smile, and he looked at the palace in front of him, which was very lively during the day, with the busy shouts of craftsmen and officials, and the entry and exit of officials......
Let's let the eldest lady take a rest, Yuanji didn't go to Haitang Palace again, returned to his residence and fell asleep, and it was not too late to ask again when he woke up, but Wu Ya'er had already left.
.......
.......
Li Minglou woke up again in the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was fading in the palace, just like yesterday.
She got up as she had done yesterday and ran barefoot to the palace opposite, and the curtains were all folded away, and there was no one on the couch.
"Ma'am, the Governor is gone." The palace maids chased after him and said with a smile.
Let's go, that's not a dream, Li Minglou smiled.
"We'll wait for Madame to comb her hair and change her clothes."
The palace ladies laughed and hugged her, and sat down on the couch here, combed her hair, put on her coat and belt, and someone knelt down to put on a pair of white socks for her.
"Don't worry the Governor until he brings the socks." The palace maid raised her head and smiled.
They are not very afraid of Mrs. Chu now, this Mrs. Chu doesn't seem to see them and doesn't care about them..... They can do what they can, and she doesn't care if they can't do it, let alone beat and scold and kill people.
This palace was unattended before, and they also ran around, and heard the description of Mrs. Chu by outsiders, greedy for money and cruel.....
But now it seems that she is not greedy for money, when Ankang Mountain went out of Beijing, she did not take away the treasures in the palace, and those treasures, Mrs. Chu Guo only glanced at them and looked away, as if those were earth and rocks, and Ankang Mountain slept on the treasures for several days.
She was not cruel, and there were only a few children around her who were waiters, and those waiters ate and drank freely in front of her.
From this point of view, the rumors are still true, from the mouths of those foreigners who poured into the capital, Mrs. Chu is a god descending to earth, so she is so desireless.
There are bold palace maids who dare to laugh with Mrs. Chu Guo.
Li Minglou also smiled, looked down at his feet, and moved his toes playfully.
A palace maid walked in with her clothes: "Madam, the governor's clothes have been washed, put them here or on Madame's side?" ”
Li Minglou was stunned, Wu Ya'er washed and changed his old clothes here, and left in new clothes, old clothes.....
Since they are husband and wife, this is home, of course the clothes that have been changed do not have to be taken away, the corners of her mouth are crooked, and the old clothes she gave last time were left with Mrs. Wu and Kumquat.
"Leave it on my side." Li Ming said.
The clothes of the husband and wife are naturally in a cage.
The palace maid responded by holding her clothes and retreating.
Li Minglou sat on the couch and dangled his feet, and Yuan Ji came in and asked the palace maids to retreat.
He asked solemnly, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Minglou was stunned and stood up.
"I forgot to ask." She said. 2k reading web
