Chapter 45 Lower Jiangnan
Gu Qing has been busy packing his luggage these days, since the gunpowder was successfully developed, the soldiers on the border have also begun to put into large-scale production, and Zhuang Qi has also rushed to the border to guide.
As soon as I went to the battlefield, I ushered in a sense of scale, and its huge lethality made everyone daunted and surprised.
As for the developers of this gunpowder, that is, Zhuang Qi and Gu Qing, they were highly respected by the surrounding people and soldiers, and even Gu Qing's father sent back a letter from Guanbei, praising Gu Qing's ability and inheriting his general's demeanor.
Seeing that she had buttoned the basin on her body in the past, she had never seen her father so good at buttoning plates, Gu Qing was speechless.
The weather gradually got colder, and Gu Qing was very cold, so he basically didn't want to go out of the door when winter came, so he nested in the room, burning the warm earth dragon and walking around.
Seeing Gu Qing like this, there was no way, Yan Ze thought that now that they had the great invention of gunpowder, the surrounding enemy countries would not dare to invade easily. So at this time, you can just go to Jiangnan for a walk, Jiangnan is like spring all year round, and Gu Qing will like it in the future.
Gu Qing, who knew the news, was very excited, and he could finally leave this room and go outside for a walk.
This time, Yan Ze went out on patrol under the banner of inspecting Jiangnan, and Empress Gu Ning guarded the palace, and also brought several other concubines and courtiers to go together.
Now the country is peaceful and peaceful, so Yan Ze proposed to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and no one objected, if it was placed in the previous season, he would not dare to go out anyway.
It is estimated that after packing up her things, she remembered that she still had a little guy, and she didn't worry about leaving him alone in the palace, what should she do?
"Niangniang, why don't you hand over the little prince to the queen to take care of it?" Knowing what Gu Qing was worried about, Aunt Mo Ru proposed. "What about the slave maid, she is also a little old, and she is not suitable for the tiring journey, the slave and maid will stay in the palace to take care of the little prince, so Niangniang, you can rest assured that the little prince will be handed over to the slave maid."
If she handed over the puff to the queen mother alone, Gu Qing still felt a little uneasy, but if she was followed by her aunt to take care of it, this would make Gu Qing feel a lot more at ease.
"Then there will be Aunt Raumo, and I will bring you good things back in the future." Gu Qing said.
Aunt Mo Ru smiled and nodded, "Then the slave will thank Niangniang." ”
After putting down this big stone, Gu Qing had no scruples at all, and after packing up his things, he kept urging Yan Ze when he could set off.
Yan Ze watched Gu Qing jumping up and down around him all day long, and really wanted to slap him, but looking at the pink smiling face, and thinking that this was his own heart, when she cried after beating this girl, wasn't it herself who felt heartache?
Finally, at the urging of Gu Qing, the troops heading to Jiangnan officially hit the road. This time, Gu Qing only brought one maid with Cherry, and the rest were some little maids, as well as grandma and the like, because Fangcao and Maruko had just become married, Gu Qing was embarrassed to call others over to work so early, after all, there is still marriage leave in modern times!
This time he set off to Jiangnan, Gu Qing also brought two chefs from his small kitchen, for fear that he would not be used to eating the food in Jiangnan.
Squatting in the warm carriage, Yan Ze was watching the folds, Gu Qing piled his small snacks on the table alone, and slowly counted whether he could eat until the day he arrived in Jiangnan. Moreover, there is a waterway behind, but there is nowhere to buy food.
"Can you finish eating with so much?" Yan Ze looked at Gu Qing's table full of food.
Gu Qing nodded seriously, "Of course these can be eaten, don't look at it so much, there are actually not many of them separately, do you have to walk for a long time on the road?" Is it not certain that you can eat it at that time? ”
As Gu Qing expected, after only half of the journey, there was nothing left, and for the next few days, Gu Qing was on the boat, which was very difficult.
"It's boring, it's really boring." Gu Qing rolled around on the couch, shaking Yan Ze's thighs with his little feet for a while, and touching the fabric on the side of the bed for a while, anyway, there was no time to stop.
Yan Ze put down the book in his hand, took the quilt on the side and wrapped Gu Qing's exposed little feet.
"Why don't you read some books?" Yan Ze proposed.
Gu Qing pouted, this ancient book, it doesn't have any fixed favorite stories, and she can't understand these military books of Yan Zeka, historical collections or something.
"Well, bear with me for two more days, and I'll be there soon." Yan Ze comforted Gu Qing.
The closer he got to Jiangnan, the warmer the weather became, and Gu Qing also took off his thick cotton clothes and wore light clothes. Finally, Gangnam arrived.
"Ministers, welcome to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live. Congratulations to all mothers, all blessings. ”
As soon as he got off the boat, Gu Qing was shocked by the crowd in front of him, not only the local officials who came to greet him, but also the people who were watching Wow Thi, was this to greet them?
"Flat."
Looking at her calm face and telling people to get up, Gu Qing's eyes lit up, and she was really handsome.
Yan Ze, who was satisfied by Gu Qing's small eyes, coughed lightly and signaled Gu Qing to come back to his senses.
"The emperor is tired of traveling, do you think you are going to rest first?" Liu Xianling said cautiously.
Yanzi came this time, of course, not only to take Gu Qing out to play, but also to do other things, but now that he is really tired, let's go and rest first.
"Well, let's go back and rest first."
"It was the emperor who invited you to come with the ministers, and the ministers arranged carriages for you, all the ladies and adults." Lead the way in front of the prefectural order.
Gu Qing was supported by Cherry and walked next to Yan Ze.
"Mother, let's hurry up and follow." Pearl carefully checked Li Yuan's face, Li Yuan's face had been very ugly since he set off from the palace.
The reason for this, of course, is still on Gu Qing, since he left the palace, Yan Ze has been in Gu Qing's room, even if it is a discussion, he has taken Gu Qing with him, ignoring all of them, how can this make Li Yuan not hate?
"Hey, these people just don't know the height of the sky, and they haven't seen the situation clearly until now, and they are still daydreaming! Hehe! Xiao Qingqing also came out this time.
Li Yuan didn't want to say anything more to Xiao Qingqing, these days they were in the same boat, and they didn't quarrel less, but every time it ended in Li Yuan's failure. "Pearl, let's go."
"It's a sissy." Seeing that Li Yuan was willing to leave, Pearl hurriedly followed.
Xiao Qingqing glanced at Li Yuan's back, "Qing'er, let's go, I've been walking for so long, I can finally take a good rest." ”
The officials in Jiangnan are all honest and self-disciplined, and this sentence appeared in Gu Qing's mind when he looked at the place where they were about to stay. Liu Xianling's home is shabby compared to the place where Gu Qing lived before, but when Gu Qing was in modern times, his family also lived in an old building, so Gu Qing could still bear it.
As for Yan Ze, not to mention, he went into battle to kill the enemy, and he suffered a lot when he was outside, this kind of environment is not bad for him, and he is also very pleased to see this, at least the officials don't seem to be able to accept bribes on the surface.
But Li Yuan can't stand it, since he was born, her father is a fourth-grade official, and her mother is also the daughter of a fourth-grade official, Li Yuan is the youngest, she has been pampered, but she has never lived in such a bad place.
"I really didn't expect such a rich place to have such a dilapidated house." Li Yuan stabbed and satirized Liu County's order.
In fact, Liu Xianling's place is not bad, looking at the entire Jiangnan, he can be regarded as medium-class, but it is still a lot worse than the palace.
"If you don't want to do it, I'll have someone send you back immediately." Yan Ze was still lamenting that the officials were honest, but when he heard Li Yuan's words, Yan Ze was not pleasing to his ears, and he was already a little unpleasant to look at her, and he always liked to find fault along the way.
Being scolded by Yan Ze in public, Li Yuan's face turned white, and she didn't dare to speak, she didn't expect Yan Ze to be so impatient with her, thinking about the days when Gu Qing hadn't come back and Yan Ze hadn't ascended the throne, tears filled her eyes.
"There are so many of us, can you live here?" Yan Ze asked.
Liu Xianling nodded hurriedly, "Although the repair in my house is relatively simple, the courtyard is quite large, and there are many small courtyards, so there is no problem in wanting to live in everyone, this courtyard is all left in the past." ”
"Well, that's okay, you and Liang Kai hand over and divide the yard."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Liang Kai is a little expert in doing things, Gu Qing only drank a cup of tea in the flower hall, and Liang Kai divided all the courtyards.
Gu Qing was placed next to Yan Ze's study, although the yard was small but complete, there was everything, and what made Gu Qing happiest was that there was actually a mini kitchen.
"Niangniang, it's good now, the chef we brought can also be used." Seeing that there is a kitchen, Cherry is also happy, so that the mother can also eat.
Gu Qing was also happy, and said to the cherry, "Didn't the emperor send me a landscape painting before, didn't Manager Liang like these?" I'll send him over later. ”
"Yes, sissy."
Seeing that there is a kitchen, Gu Qing's fatigue and boredom over the past few days have been swept away.
With the kitchen, the cooks quickly cleaned up the kitchen and cooked for Gu Qing, because the kitchen was very close to Gu Qing's room, Gu Qing could smell the fragrance when he sat in the room, and even Yan Ze was hooked by the fragrance in Gu Qing's yard.
"What is this doing? So fragrant? Yan Ze came to Gu Qing's small courtyard and saw Gu Qing circling around the cook.
Seeing Yan Ye coming, Gu Qing beckoned to Yan Ze. "You're here at the right time, we're going to have dinner soon, so we'll make this little stone table to eat later."
"Okay." Yan Ze sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, watching Gu Qing jump up and down, waiting for lunch.
In the courtyard, Gu Qing's chattering voice was heard from time to time, and when Yan Ze stopped him, he could still hear the laughter of the maids, and the breeze hit, and the trip to Jiangnan officially began.
