Chapter 281: It's Kind of Interesting
"Where is that woman now?" Luo Shu stayed in an inconspicuous restaurant in Yingdu, drinking tea contentedly.
Su Qing was not by his side, and went to deal with affairs. It was Su Bai who stayed with him.
Compared with Su Qing, Su Bai's younger brother is a little lively, and he also likes to follow Luo Shu's side, often looking at him with a very reverent look.
Luo Shu has naturally seen everyone, and he doesn't care much about Su Bai, but he is quite happy in the capital of Chu during this time.
It turned out that he didn't have so many chores on his body, but he was happy to be at ease, but he couldn't live the life of an ordinary person in this life, and he was destined to experience too much.
"Master, my brother came to the news last night, saying that the woman was no longer in the capital, and went to a place not far outside the Yingdu City, a place called Bird's Tongue, saying that she was going to be an official, but the position of this official is not big."
Su Bai hurriedly organized the language when he heard Luo Shu ask, and then said honestly. The face is honestly afraid.
"Being an official? Can women too? ”
"Yes, there is an additional law in the State of Chu, if it is a person who has made a significant contribution to the State of Chu, he is qualified to be included in the grass hall to be an official, but there are very few women, and even if a woman has made great contributions, she will not stand up and say that she wants to be an official, that Li Jicai is the first one."
"Oh?" That's kind of interesting.
"If the master wants to see her, do your subordinates want to arrange it, then it is true that this place is not very far from the capital, and it will take half a day."
"Well, it's time to meet." Luo Shu has been coming to this place for more than half a month, and he has been walking and stopping all the way, not in a hurry or slow until now, and the news is almost done.
"Then the subordinates will do it immediately in these two days!" Su Bai immediately became excited when he saw the opportunity to perform, he always wanted to show his hand in front of his master to show his strength.
"Don't rush, take your time." Su Qing has other things to do, Su Bai is more or less unstable by his side, and he knows Su Bai's character Luo Shu very well.
No matter what you do, you can't rush it. Luo Shu has been in Chu for so long, and he has some understanding of the customs and customs in the capital of Chu State.
I found that the folk customs here are acceptable, but the poor and vicious people can't see it, and the jurisdiction in several capitals is very strict, and there are a lot of people who come and go to do business, and it seems that there is no intention of curbing it.
Unlike their Yan Kingdom, there are still more strikes against businessmen, after all, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and businessmen are not the right way.
However, staying here in Vena feels that there is no harm in encouraging commercial stock trade, at least the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
He is a person with the vision of the world, but after staying in Yan for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be affected by Yan Guo, and Yan has been suffering from internal troubles in the past few years, and there is no rest at all.
As for Qi Guo, then there is nothing to say, the three redundancies have dragged Qi Guo, I don't know how many years it will take, and it is really difficult to turn over for a while, so I don't have to be afraid.
It's just that the development of Chu State over the years has been good, and there are faint signs of imminent action, the previous time was insufficient in strength, more than greedy, and did not make any splashes first, and now the government and the opposition are thriving, thriving, so that Luo Shu has some hesitation and vigilance in his heart.
Properly curbing it and balancing the relationship between the three kingdoms is the best situation for the Luo family.
Because once there is war and turmoil, it is bound to implicate the Luo family, and it will take a lot of energy to restore order alone, sacrificing people who do not need to be sacrificed, Luo Shu feels that one of his current roles is to maintain stability.
This is stable all over the world, and the Taluo family is naturally stable, so there is no need to worry about any disasters suddenly coming.
Someone once joked that half of the entire Central Plains region is owned by the Luo family.
Although it does not reflect how many people there are in the Luo family, in terms of actual power, the Luo family deserves it.
There are not many people who affect the political situation of the Chu Dynasty, Qi Qingchu and Jiang Xihu are counted as one each.
The former is a well-known civil and military minister, and the latter is a prince who is forbearant and has plans for power.
These two are obviously not simple characters, and in the eyes of Vena, they are also unstable existences.
At least both of them were involved with the woman, which was about the same thing, because they were still entangled.
His own emperor is too, and he thinks about taking this woman back to Yan all day long, how much charm can make a few men do this for her?
And in fact, it seems that this woman is still a plaything puppet that is wantonly used and manipulated by others, and she has no human rights of her own.
Now he has become an official smoothly.
This made Luo Shu find it even more interesting, and he didn't think about seeing this woman all the time, although he didn't express it on his face.
But his subordinates were very sensible, so the arrangement began.
Luo Shu was really looking forward to the first meeting between the two of them, I heard that the woman was burned beyond recognition, and she entered the bandit village again, and was taken captive by others, and experienced a lot of torture. I'm probably not a clean woman anymore.
It's not a good thing to speculate on others, but if it weren't for the truth and credibility of the information he received, he wouldn't think so, would he?
Anyway, let's see her first and then talk about it, although I may not say anything to her at that time, and it is very rude to judge others just by their appearance, but Luo Shu knows that he only needs to look at her a few more times to see if there is greed in the other party's eyes, and then he will know what kind of person she is.
People who are full of lust and greed will naturally grow into an abomination.
It's a pity that Li Jicai didn't know that she had been targeted by so many people's eyes, and she was still naïve in the dark.
Maybe when he was involved between factions and forces, Li Jicai should have thought that there would be such a day.
After she returned from Gao Tianlei, she never received any instructions or arrangements or greetings from the middle-aged county master.
Nothing.
Biyu told Li Jicai that the approach of the county master was actually right, after all, the official position of the county master was above Li Jicai, how could there be a reason for the superiors to greet the subordinates, even if they came from the capital, they had to behave, how could they overstep the ranks?
Li Jicai also felt relieved when she heard it, in fact, as long as she didn't bother her, didn't show off with her or anything, it was enough, if there were too many things, she would be unhappy, and the other party would not be happy.
Steward Qian sent news to Li Jicai, saying that it was not comfortable to live in a solid house, and the local bamboo in that place grew very luxuriantly, and the intertwined body was in the pile of rubble.
Anyway, it is also going to be cut down, so simply cut down the tall and verdant bamboos that grow, and then build houses, in fact, bamboo houses are not common in Chu State.
However, in some mountainous and densely forested areas, there are still people who will use houses made of bamboo, which can be moisture-proof in summer and warm in winter, and the foundation is high and strong, and there is no problem in living for a year and a half.
Steward Qian thought to himself, anyway, Li Jicai shouldn't stay in this poor country for too long, so there is no need to build a very luxurious house.
Not only is it a waste of time, but it also takes a lot of manpower and material resources to spread it to the outside world, and it is not very good for Li Jicai's reputation and his master's reputation.
After all, when you become an official in a place, you have not yet started to work, so you have to build a new house first, and it is not good to be too ostentatious.
Although Steward Qian also knew that Li Jicai was not a person who was greedy for enjoyment, and he was also very kind and polite to others, and did not put on a show at all.
I also have a little feeling about Li Jicai's background, the money housekeeper, definitely not from some big family, and even has some businessman on him, but it is not very easy to detect.
is frank and generous, and there are no obvious shortcomings.
That's enough, after all, what he usually deals with is not a woman like Li Jicai, but a woman like the master's family, but those warblers and swallows like the master's family, that is to compete for favor, and they are all about to squeeze their heads, and they are all worried to death.
It's just that his master is an uncertain person, this woman, sometimes he cares, sometimes he just ignores it, and to put it mildly, he simply doesn't treat those women as people.
Steward Qian himself has some nostalgia for the days of building a house here, at least he doesn't have to go back to the house to have a headache for so many women.
The bamboo house has two floors, and the kitchen stove is set outside, so in order to facilitate Li Jicai to get water, a well was specially drilled in the bamboo forest, and then the manhole cover was carefully made.
As for some tools and the like, the couple surnamed Huang are quite polite, saying that they don't need to take this and that, they all have it at home, and they simply don't treat themselves as outsiders.
Steward Qian himself is also a person with a human mind, and of course he knows what they are thinking.
When building a bamboo house for Li Jicai, the couple euphemistically told Steward Qian that their house was too old and wanted to repair it more or less, but they didn't want to repair it like a bamboo house, they wanted the kind of house that could be sturdy and able to live for a long time.
Steward Qian saw the thoughts of these two, but out of consideration for Li Jicai's future, he didn't make too much trouble, so he agreed to the request of the two couples.
It's not a big deal anyway, and it's worth spending a little more money. I just don't know if Miss Li Jicai will live happily here in the future? The master doesn't know when he will transfer Li Jicai back to the capital, so it's better to take one step at a time.
The windows of the bamboo house are open a lot, and in the past, Biyu told the housekeeper that the lady doesn't like to be depressed, and there must be a window open, preferably, as soon as the window is opened, you can see the beautiful scenery.
