Chapter 76: The Study
Since Pei Baoer returned to Beijing, the correspondence with Donglin has not been interrupted.
She didn't feel at ease with Liu Yun and the two, so she asked Pei Zimeng to take care of her in the letter, and this time, Pei Zimeng attached Liu Yun's letter very intimately. It's not a big deal, it's just to report good news and not bad news, and care about their mother and son.
Pei Zimeng is different, after he learned that Pei Baoer's memory was restored, he let himself go, and his nature in the letters was clear. And because the letters they exchanged between the two places were not official posts, but Qi Heng's people, he was very relieved, and the words in the letter became more and more bold, and this time the letter actually scolded Liu Guogong.
What is said that the pirates are rampant, and they invade coastal villages and towns once in January, and the people are having a hard time, so they come to the door of the government to complain when they have nothing to do, and they also disturb the security of the government and the city, and there are all kinds of things, which makes him a headache for a magistrate.
He also said that the navy under Liu Guogong's hands were all eating dry food, guarding the southeast coast for so many years, and he allocated a lot of money to suppress bandits every year, and he didn't know where to kill them.
Then he said arrogantly, let his sister blow the pillow wind, it is best to move Qi Heng, and send a shrewd and capable military general to come over to suppress the bandits, preferably in the prime of life, like Liu Guogong, a "highly respected" elder of this generation.
In the end, he secretly comforted Pei Bao'er, telling her not to worry, his secret letter of impeachment of Liu Guogong had been directly handed over to the cabinet.
Pei Baoer was almost scared half to death by him.
This and this, others are still serving as sesame officials on the territory of Liu Guogong with an army of 100,000, and they are actually suing others in such a hurry? I'm not afraid that the head on my neck will be divided!
Although Liu Guogong's father and son are not in the capital all the year round, they are in charge of a strong army, and they are definitely not a tenacious general, and there is no one in this cabinet who is good friends with him. Even if he didn't, he handed the fold all the way, maybe any link would be through the wind.
Since ancient times, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, not to mention the future of the official eunuch, Pei Xiaodi is going to die!
Pei Bao'er was so anxious that she could only take the initiative to run to the study in the front yard for the first time to wait for Qi Heng.
Qi Heng's study has always been the most important place in the palace, whether he is or not, there are two people who take turns guarding it every day for twelve hours. Idlers are not allowed to enter, and this rule has basically become an iron law. Even if Qi Heng was inside, almost all the cabinet members were interviewed, and the ladies in the inner courtyard would basically be blocked, no matter whether the supplements sent were flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the sea, it was useless.
Before going, Bai Lu also faintly reminded Pei Bao'er, but she didn't care about thinking about it so much.
Pei Bao'er is a very bachelor, and she goes out with an open face or anything, even if she is not allowed to go in, she can't find a nearby Xiaoxuan, a pavilion or something to sit and drink tea and wait for him. Anyway, it's not too late. However, if you want to say that it is urgent, it has not yet reached the point of sending someone to kill him in the palace to report to him.
Just in case, Pei Baoer ordered the two little maids to bring the notebooks they were used to reading, as well as two account books, and prepared to take them to kill time.
As a result, these things didn't work at all.
As soon as she entered the front yard, she was warmly welcomed, and Steward Fang was well-informed and very attentive to guide her to the study.
Pei Bao'er also pretended to say: "The prince's study is an important place, I am a woman's family, and I don't have the instructions of the prince, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go in like this?" ”
Steward Fang smiled, "The princess is not an idle person. ”
Not to mention, this differential treatment made Pei Bao'er feel very happy, especially when she knew that a person like Fang Guan Shi must not behave like her face, but because of the intentions of others. Then, who else can be the person in charge of the dialing party?
When she arrived at the door of the study, she was very surprised to see an old man.
It was the black-faced man who personally sent Xiao Yan'er back to Osmanthus Lane before, who seemed to be named Lei Ming. It seems that his eldest brother Lei Chang is Bai Lu's husband, who used to live in the mansion, and went to the palace to be on duty in the past two years, and Bai Lu often kept the empty room alone, otherwise, he couldn't say anything about active night duty before.
Seeing Pei Bao'er, Lei Ming was also very surprised, no less than when he learned that this master was Princess Pei, who was rumored to have died in his own house.
Last time, Qi Heng went to Donglin and didn't take him with him, he thought that the prince had something important to do to go out of Beijing, for example, to inspect the southeast navy or something. As a result, after going like this, they brought back a princess who had been buried in the earth for several years, which really scared the people below them.
Lei Ming took advantage of the day off to sneak away to his brother's house to inquire about the news, after all, Lei Chang is older and more stable than himself, and he has been following the prince for a much longer time than himself, and his sister-in-law was originally the princess's personal maidservant, and she also knows a little about Princess Pei.
As a result, I heard about the old story that the relationship between the prince and the princess was not very harmonious, and it was almost to the point of harmony for Concubine Lin, and then Princess Pei went to live alone with Du, and said that she wanted to cultivate or something, which is no different from separating property and living separately. After coming back, it doesn't seem to be getting better, the prince is still alone every day and the song is folding, and the princess has never come to ask for warmth, compared with the love soup in the West Courtyard that is constantly going on day by day, it is really ruthless and cold.
At this moment, when he suddenly saw the princess appear, Lei Ming was still a little puzzled for a while.
Isn't something big going on?
After seeing the ceremony, Pei Baoer entered the study, and after a rough glance, she didn't get close to his bookcase, and directly found a chair farthest from the desk to sit down, ate two sips of tea, and couldn't help but look at the dense collection of books here.
She asked Lei Ming very politely: "These books on the shelf, I can read one or two, right?" ”
Lei Mingzheng was confused, and remembered Gonggong Song's previous point, so he shook his head stupidly, and quickly reacted again: "The princess can do it herself." ”
Sun Qiao, who was next to him, saw the princess herself for the first time, and he was very excited.
He couldn't help but take advantage of the gap between tea and said more: "Speaking of which, the princess settled in Baishui Town before, and it was still a clue that her subordinates went to find with Gonggong Song." ”
Sun Qiao is a straightforward person, even a big old man like Lei Ming has a rough evaluation, which is also a tendon in the head, and he is very heartless. He didn't know about the grievances and hatred between the husband and wife in the palace, and he didn't think much about anything else.
You say that the princess and princess have a bad relationship? That can't be, if it's not good, can you go all the way to find someone? The princess didn't come to send her courtesy, and there were no side concubines and aunts to care for the prince? Isn't that the dignified demeanor of the main mother and the main room, and you can't learn the methods of those foxes. I heard that the prince often has dinner in the main courtyard recently, and he also cherishes Xiaolang very much.
So, after he mentioned this, when he saw Pei Bao'er who didn't know it, he poured it all out, feeling very proud, feeling that he had not only shown his face in front of the princess, but also brushed back his favorability for the prince's master.
As a result, Pei Baoer, who listened to the cause and effect, looked at him with a little wrong eyes. Well, it's not like gratitude and appreciation, but a little bit of helplessness and complaint.
Sun Qiao inexplicably excused himself and retreated.
Pei Bao'er snorted softly, and after she was angry, she felt funny. It is also a strange news that a scheming figure like Qi Heng would have subordinates like Sun Qiao.
She looked at the sun and felt that Qi Heng would have to come back for a while, and she was idle, so she simply began to flip through the books on his shelf.
This is the first time she has entered Qi Heng's study, and when she was looking for pastime in Pei Shu's wedding books in the past, Bei Yan once mentioned it, saying that Qi Heng has a lot of books here, and the words are all about letting her come over to brush her face and repair her feelings. It's just that at that time, she was busy maintaining her personality, where to pull her face to do this kind of thing, not to mention, it didn't take long for the Lin family to come, and she went directly to accompany the capital along the plot, so she had no chance.
Unexpectedly, she is still here today.
After a rough flip, Pei Baoer found that what Beiyan said that day was really not to fool her, Qi Heng has a rich collection of books here, and the number is not small, comparable to a small library.
Hundreds of schools of thought, subsets of classics and histories, water conservancy and agriculture, the way of merchants, and the hermit's travels......
It's just that she is a little upset at this time, where can she bear to read the book, but she is just looking around.
Looking at it this way, it looks a little unusual.
Pretty widow three captures cold?
The little chef who is a young master?
Pei Baoer: Isn't this the script I wrote a few years ago???
At that time, when I first came here, I had to deal with two unconscious little wives and a scumbag who was suspected of killing my wife, Pei Baoer also had to work hard to maintain her character in order not to vomit blood and die early, and her life was very difficult, not to mention that there was a little wife No. 3 later.
At that time, in order to relieve the depression in her heart and leave a little trace of her own here, she could only secretly nest in the house to write a script, anyway, Princess Pei herself is a talented woman, and it is not very unusual to change careers from poetry and poetry to engage in script creation. If she did business as she did now, she would not be able to survive the first emperor to go on a northern tour and play herself to death first.
pinching her fingers, she wrote seven or eight books at that time, each of which was not long, and they were all reprocessed from the classic plots and characters she had read in later generations, and only the essence of them was extracted. After she finished writing, she fooled the purest Beiyan and asked her to go out to the bookstore to discuss the matter of printing, even if it was a money, it didn't matter, and if she spread it, she wouldn't be able to meet her colleagues in the crossing world. As a result, she was unlucky, and no colleagues came to the door, and she gradually died of this heart.
When she returned to the palace this time, she had also flipped through the small study room that she had converted into a warm pavilion, and there were fewer books in it, including the first edition that she had handwritten at that time. I thought it was lost by a lot of people in those years, but I didn't expect that it was stored here in Qi Heng.
A person like him can't even look at the excerpts, how can he have the leisure to look at such things, I'm afraid it's ......
Pei Bao'er pinched the thin yellowed page, and her heart trembled slightly.
