Chapter 25: Disobedience
Leyi never thought that anything had to be done by a man or a woman. She has always lived in the countryside, and apart from learning a few words and reading a few books with her grandfather, she has never received any other education. Her cognition of everything comes from the flowers, birds, and animals in the mountains, the snakes, fish, shrimps and crabs in the water, the spring and summer cultivation taught by her grandfather, and the rice wine and poetry told by her grandfather...... She also knows the wine fairy Li Bai, and can also blurt out and recite a few poems by Tao Yuanming, she knows how to make rice wine from japonica rice, glutinous rice, black rice, buckwheat, sorghum, and even dried potatoes, everything she knows is practiced by her hands and feet, solid and reliable.
She smiled at her mother, who had never raised her for a day, and said, "What a man can do, our daughter's family can do the same." The more careless she was, the more people thought she was deviant.
Le Jiao pursed her lips and laughed, and said disdainfully: "A man can test his fame, can you?" What nonsense! ”
Le Yi was speechless and couldn't answer.
Le Chongyang didn't get angry today because Le Yi brought back the yellow silk, after all, she had a marriage contract. He chewed the lettuce he had picked from the lake in the morning, and reprimanded Le Jiao casually, "Pay attention to your attitude, she is your eldest sister." Le Jiao has always been afraid of her father, although she was displeased, she also hurriedly said: "My daughter is wrong." ”
Lu Muqing wrote a thick document about the number of water shops in Bianjing City, the amount of water that could be provided every day, and the profits made by Chang'an water shops, and directly told Xia Rong and the showdown.
Lu Muqing Zhenzhen said, "If the Bu Military Division can call all the water shops in the city, not only will it store more water, but it will also save seventy percent of the silver taels for the treasury a year." ”
Xia Rong smiled with hooked lips, and his mocking eyes crossed Lu Muqing and landed on the paperwork, "Do you think that the official family wants to save money to use the water paved by Chang'an water?" Even if there are 1 million taels of silver used on water a year, what can you do if you save 700,000 taels? Do you know how much the treasury earns in a year? There are at least 20,000 taels, which is still the number of drought and flood seasons. One million taels, you can buy General Mei's peace of mind, you can buy stability in the northwest, and the official family will not lose. He held up the paper and threw it on the ground, "Don't touch the things you shouldn't touch, it won't help you." ”
Xia Ronghe's words were reasonable, Lu Muqing completely understood, but he was not convinced.
Lu Muqing quietly picked up the paperwork and said coldly: "Seven hundred thousand taels, can you really buy General Mei with peace of mind?" Xia Ronghe looked up, his eyes were sharp, like swords firing at once, chiseling the air into pieces. Lu Muqing was not afraid, nor did he show weakness, he restrained his thoughts, and when he saw Xia Rong and his anger, he smiled contemptuously.
Xia Ronghe gradually faded his anger, and said casually: "This matter is in charge of Ji Yang, the patrol envoy of the left army of Kaifeng Mansion, you have to track down, you want to question, go to him, and the silver is allocated by Kaifeng Mansion." ”
Lu Muqing didn't expect him to answer, so he was stunned and full of doubts.
It was night, and it was not yet the time to ban fires, and the door of Lu Xiang's Mansion was like a city, the giant lights were burning, and there was a brilliant fire all around. Countless people in official robes came and went in the mansion, all celebrating Prime Minister Lu Yijian's addition of a grandson. Lu Muqing has not entered the house for dozens of days, he first went to his cousin Lu Gongxuan to ask for peace, said a few words of homely words to his cousin, and then went to Mrs. Lu's house to sit for half a cup of tea, personally washed the old man's feet and burned incense, and chose to go to the old lady Lu Yijian's main room to discuss matters.
