Xiang Nan walked out of the inn with Chen Er, the street was very quiet in the early morning of winter, most of the shops had not yet opened, only the hawkers carrying the burdens, the people who worked with tools were hurrying, and the watchmen who were working at night walked by with a little tiredness and yawning.

They are all people who are busy with their livelihoods or are in a hurry to go back to rest, and they don't pay special attention to this young man in white robes who walks leisurely.

There are also many powerful people who come to Gwangju to join the government, and even in troubled times, the powerful people are always better off than ordinary people, no matter what time it is, people are still different.

The government office was closed day and night, and at this time, there were officials waiting at the door, and they saw Xiang Nan coming forward to give a salute.

"Xiang Gongzi, please go this way." He said, not into the palace, but to turn back.

Xiang Nan knew that it was the back door he had been to before.

When I saw that Mrs. Wu was going to go to the government on official business, she inquired about private matters from the back door, and Mrs. Wu had a clear distinction between public and private, and she was respectful of the government and was low-key and introverted.

The crowded businessmen in front of the back door were gone, and the men with swords were still there, and when they saw Xiang Nan, everyone obviously remembered that after all, it was difficult for people to ignore the good-looking, because there were officials leading the way, and they just looked at Xiang Nan and Chen Eryi vigilantly, and they didn't say anything.

It was the old servant who opened the door, and when he saw the official, he smiled: "I was about to meet you." ”

The official smiled: "Where, where." "Sideways please," I sent Xiang Gongzi here. ”

The old servant smiled at Xiang Nan and saluted: "Son, please." ”

Xiang Nan and Chen Er entered, and the official Shi Li retired without following up, and when the door was closed, it was the small world of Mrs. Wu.

The old servant arranged for Chen Er to drink tea in the concierge, and the concierge had some snacks in addition to tea, and was considerate and polite to take care of whether he had breakfast.

The back house of the government is not big, and a lot of flowers and trees are planted, high and low are staggered, and the morning fog lingers in the meantime and has not yet dispersed.

Xiang Nan walked in with the old servant, and as soon as she stepped through the courtyard gate, she saw a woman coming from the corridor, and the mist made her loom.

Xiang Nan recognized it at a glance, and sure enough, it was the fairy he had seen by the lake.

Xiang Nan stopped and listened to the old servant shouting the young lady.

The young lady looked over, her long eyelashes stirred up and dispelled the mist, revealing her face, but before she could look at each other, there were footsteps behind her, these were two children of about ten years old, holding up flower baskets, in which were stacked with bunches of red, yellow and white plum blossoms, and half-bloomed camellia of various colors.

"Young lady, I just picked the flowers." They stammered.

Li Minglou stretched out his hand to take it and smiled at the two children.

They are orphans, their father and mother died in the war, and they stumbled and escaped here with the homeless people, sometimes eating porridge and sometimes going to the construction site to pick up work and survive, the day before yesterday they were eating porridge at the city gate, and were called away by a housekeeper to do things for the young lady.

I originally thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect it to be true, but I still thought it was a dream, especially Mrs. Wu Shao smiled at them.

The two boys turned around and ran.

Li Minglou didn't call them back, nor did he look at Xiang Nan anymore, and walked into the house with a basket of flowers.

"Xiang Gongzi, please." The old servant laughed.

Xiang Nan followed the old servant through the courtyard and walked in, this is a small study, the outside is used to read books, the inside is used to drink tea and rest, hanging the beaded curtain, the young lady is sitting inside, facing the mirror, half leaning on the dressing table, picking and picking the flowers in the basket.

"Young Lady Wu, Xiang Nan is polite." Xiang Nan Shili.

Through the bead curtain, Young Lady Wu glanced over and bowed slightly.

"Xiang Gongzi, what do you mean when you say that my young lady is in danger?" The old servant stood by the bead curtain and asked, and gave an apologetic salute, "The young lady is young and alone, and the lady is sick, so it is inconvenient to talk to the foreign man, if you have anything to say, the old servant will say it on your behalf, please forgive me." ”

"I was abrupt in the first place." Xiang Nan didn't speculate on their original intentions and true or false, and simply replied, "The young lady is merciful and caring for the homeless people, but she is too harsh on the powerful people of the family. ”

Li Minglou pinched the camellia and threw it back into the flower basket, what, his so-called danger is to say this, it was in vain that she prepared so much.

She really thought that Xiang Nan knew her identity, and she didn't have any scruples, she would see her if she wanted to, as long as he revealed her identity, she would kill him.

Li Minglou looked out the window, the small courtyard shrouded in morning mist like a fairyland was full of heavy soldiers, and there were more than three of them in this room, just as soon as he opened his mouth to shout the three words Li Minglou, he would be killed by slashing and shooting with arrows.

She didn't want to let Xuanwu Dao, Yizhou, Huainan Province, be easy to settle down, because Xiang Nan was in trouble alone, and it was even very likely that the Ankang Mountain rebels would take the opportunity to attack, countless people would be killed, and she would face death again.

But even if she still wants to die, this time she will let Xiang Nan die first!

Didn't he see through her?

"What does Xiang Gongzi mean by this?" The old servant was puzzled, "What does it mean that the young lady is harsh to the powerful of the family?" ”

Xiang Nan smiled: "Ming people don't say secret words, don't say that these are all done by the government, what the government can do now is inseparable from the guidance of the young lady." ”

Without speaking to the old servant to question or justify, he continued.

"It costs a lot to feed so many displaced people, so many soldiers and horses, and it is necessary to revitalize the city to maintain prosperity and give countless conveniences to the merchants, it is too difficult to rely on the young lady and the government alone, so I ask for money from the powerful and rich, to put it bluntly, it is to rob the rich and help the poor."

He didn't see through his identity, but he saw this clearly, Li Minglou picked up a plum blossom and cut it with scissors and inserted it into the plum bottle.

After the soldiers and horses are used to raise a stable side, it is necessary to use the powerful and rich people who are stable and attracted to raise the soldiers and horses and the people.

Of course, she can't raise so many city soldiers and horses by herself, and she is not a real immortal, especially after the money and materials of Jiannan Dao cannot be supplied.

Hundreds of years of steady prosperity have raised countless families in Great Xia, accumulated a heavy family foundation, and under the threat of their lives in troubled times, they can take out money that the previous emperors may not be able to force out.

Of course, taking people's money is like killing their parents, these powerful and rich people were originally grateful for being able to protect the safety of their families, and the hard work of the government and soldiers became a matter of course in their eyes, and there was also hatred.

This is not their initiative to give, but to be asked to give, for them, this pay is grievance, is resentment.

These emotions are overshadowed by the troubled times and survival, but they do surge in Gwangju Prefecture.

"Xiang Gongzi is serious, right?" The old servant was surprised, glanced at Li Minglou, and then said to Xiang Nan a little helplessly, "The Gwangju Mansion does levy gold and silver from the powerful and rich, that is because the government has been exhausted, and the imperial court has no soldiers, horses, and food, so everyone can only work together to have money and money to contribute to tide over the difficulties. ”

Xiang Nan didn't look at Li Minglou either, looked at the old servant and said: "I know that we can only get through the difficulties together, I mean that in addition to levy, there are other ways to seek the help of the family, in addition to money, they also have connections and many families, money is easy to get, and people's hearts are hard to find....."

With a ding, Xiang Nan stopped talking, and watched the woman looming behind the bead curtain throw the scissors on the table, she beckoned, and the old servant lifted the bead curtain and walked in, listening to her with his ears.

Xiang Nan was not in a hurry, nor did he speak anymore, and waited quietly.

The old servant came out and stood by the bead curtain: "I know what Xiang Gongzi said, it is for me to ask for the heart of the family." ”

The old man's voice suddenly became coquettish, if he didn't look at people, it was a twenty-eight girl talking.

This old servant still has this kind of ventriloquism, Xiang Nan pursed his lips, then he is now relaying the young lady's words.

"My mother-in-law and I have been wide before, and we have also been displaced, and we know very well that the hearts of the family cannot be begged, so there is no need to be polite between everyone, I feel wronged, and if we leave, Gwangju Mansion can live without them." The old servant said, smiling, the laughter was crisp but sharp, "It turns out that Xiang Gongzi is here to be a lobbyist for others." ”

Wide, wandering, the short words seem to contain a lot of secrets, Wu Ya'er's life experience is indeed very secret, there should be a story behind it, but Xiang Nan is not curious about this now.

This young lady is annoyed?

Xiang Nan frowned and looked at the woman behind the bead curtain: "I'm not a lobbyist, I don't want the young lady's hard work to be ruined, so I'm here to remind ......."

The woman behind the bead curtain stood up and walked over to lift the bead curtain, walked in front of Xiang Nan, and walked past him.

The scent of plum blossoms slipped over his shoulder, and the man walked out.

Unexpectedly..... Xiang Nan turned his head, and the sound of his clothes fluttering outside the door and footsteps was far away.

"Our young lady knows." The old servant said, "Xiang Gongzi, please go back." ”

......

......

The door closed at the back, and Chen Er stuffed the handful of melon seeds he grabbed when he was driven out into his mouth and chewed with a creaky sound.

"Childe, now that you have seen someone, are you satisfied?" He said.

Satisfied? He didn t know what to say about this young lady wu xiang nan shook his head and looked at the men outside the door who looked at them and stood up holding their swords.

Seeing that the old servant was not polite, these people were immediately unkind.

Xiang Nan said, "Let's go." ”

The entourage of the Xiang family who returned to the inn also waited and asked how it was: "Childe is too sincere, in fact, it is enough to thank the government twice." ”

Everyone thinks that he asked to see that young lady Wu to save his life when he thanked Surabaya, otherwise? It won't be the appearance of the young lady's immortal, but you can't think about it!

"If you want me to say it's too much." Chen Er is not an entourage, and he is qualified to complain, "You adults just like these politeness, what is there to thank, what can you thank if you come and go?" ”

When his words fell, an attendant said that the prefect was coming.

"Xiang Gongzi." The prefect walked in with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and saluted, "I drank a lot of wine these two times, I didn't wake up until now, and I just knew the origin of your family, the Xiang family of Taiyuan Mansion is a family of several generations, I am really rude." ”

It is not too rude for a small prefect of Gwangju Mansion to know that their family is deep, and the entourage of the Xiang family is a little happy.

"That's right, we have a rule here." The prefect said, holding Xiang Nan's hand, "Every big family who comes to our mansion has to pay a fee to enter the city, Xiang Gongzi, I will thank you on behalf of the people of Gwangju Mansion." ”

As soon as the words were spoken, the room full of people was stunned.

The Xiang family's entourage was stunned, and Chen Er smacked his lips: "Yes, thank you for the money!" 2k reading network
