Chapter Seventy-Six: The Blooming Lotus
"Little boy, Si'er has gone to prepare the decoction, you can lie down and rest first." The person who entered the room also brought a strange fragrance, and Fu Mingran's body that was originally lying down suddenly sat up, and the fragrance ...... She seemed to have smelled it.
On the night of the last New Year's Day, there was this smell in the wine, but the closer people got, the fragrance seems to be able to distinguish the difference, the wine is a cold fragrance, and this is probably dyed on the clothes, it is a faint warm fragrance, which makes people unconsciously relax.
"Xiao Nian, when was the third painting hanging on the wall made?" This painting should be incomplete, but why did she paint an incomplete painting, the broken bridge work is remembered clearly, at first the pen was because of a dream, painted one on the spot when he was in Tianjing Academy, and after returning home, he repainted it himself, but vaguely remembered that this artistic conception was very different.
"Back to the little boy, about a month ago, you started to draw it when you had nothing to do." Fu Mingran thought about it, a month ago...... I really can't remember what I did a month ago, so this painting ...... It was also seen in a dream, but I dreamed of a patch of snow...... What does that mean?
"Xiao Nian, this incense on your body...... Aren't you wearing the sachet that the third brother gave you? That is, in an instant, the master in front of him seemed to have changed into a different person, and Fu Mingran had a ridiculous meaning on his face, as if he also had spirit.
Xiao Nian hurriedly took a few steps back, and had a posture of arrogance, but the two kept looking at each other...... There is a cold light in the eyes of his master, and the master doesn't like the action of kneeling down when the slaves and maids do something wrong, saying that he despises his father and mother.
"Little boy...... This sachet was let us wear by the eldest prince, saying that it was ordered by Dr. Ning, and it has a calming and soothing effect. "Ning Xu ...... The doctor who had not yet met, Fu Mingran motioned for the person in front of him to approach, Xiao Nian took off the sachet on his waist, this faint fragrance really emanated from here, but this smell ...... It's really like it.
"Doctor Ning instructed that it should be worn by the maids, and this fragrance is suitable for the little boy's physique." With that, Fu Mingran returned the sachet to the person in front of him and lay down well, she was ...... this winter I feel like I've been drinking decoction for a long time.
Xiao Nian hung up his things, and began to sort out the needs of his son-in-law's admission, and there was a competition between the two houses in a few days, and after the event, it was the official admission.
After Gu Lianqi handed over the grain, he had a good rest, and nothing major happened along the way, even after the last hijacking of the silver two, the grass and trees in the mountains did not move at all, this bandit ...... Is there a convergence?
Gu Qiyan instructed his subordinates to prepare a table of dishes, which was also very light, but the group on the seat was also satisfied after eating dry food for a few days, Gu Lianqi looked at his cousin several times, and it seemed that his cousin had already taken measures against this bandit.
It had been four or five days, and the news had already reached the ears of the Venerable Master in the Imperial Palace in the capital, but there was no news from above.
"Everyone, even if I, Gu Lianqi, owe you a favor, I will definitely get together to thank you another day." After everyone finished eating, Gu Lianqi got up and gave a thank you gift, and at the same time, Gu Qiyan also thanked him, which can alleviate the disaster in Bingzhou and give the people of Bingzhou a new way to live.
The people present left one by one, but Gu Qiyan looked directly at the people around him, he didn't expect it...... The person who "can't do anything" in the old man's mouth has also done a practical thing for the people.
"Lian Qi, how many silver taels are these truckloads of grain converted into, and after this matter is resolved with the county order, the same amount will be spent." Gu Lianqi nodded in response, although the price of buying grain and cotton cloth in winter is higher, but this money is ...... He still could figure it out.
"Qiyan, now for private reasons, I am afraid that this matter has been transmitted to the capital, but the emperor has not issued any instructions, and as far as Prime Minister An decided to send silver into the state, it is not these that the people of the state lack." Gu Lianqi asked directly, and he really didn't know much about political affairs.
Gu Qiyan did not hide it, Prime Minister An has a high prestige in the court, and the people of the capital have a high evaluation of him, and the disasters that have arisen in various places in recent years have also been proposed by Prime Minister An Cheng, and the emperor attaches great importance to him, and this Prime Minister An is a son of a poor family, and in this court, which is mostly in power for scholars and royal families, it is a clear stream.
The last time he sent a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion...... He asked about this situation, and since he did not receive a reply, he must have said nothing wrong.
"If there is a supply of materials, this silver is the fastest delivery, because the weather is not restricted, not to mention the food and cloth sent from the capital, this way is probably somewhat damaged when it is delivered, and ......" It seems that Prime Minister An Cheng expected that this disaster relief escort would be robbed by this, after all, it is official silver, how can ordinary people take it out and use it, "If this happens, the official silver cannot be sold, probably this is also Prime Minister An Cheng considered the existence of bandits in Tiancheng County for a long time." ”
Either way, in today's situation, it is indeed the wisest way to transport official silver.
"Lian Qi, if you have nothing to do, you can also stay in this Tiancheng County for a few days." Gu Qiyan was not idle in his hands, he was still sorting out the household registration of the people of Tiancheng County who had not been completed for a few days, and the last household registration handed over to the household department of the capital probably did not match the actual situation.
Gu Lianqi was surprised, he didn't expect his cousin to open his mouth to keep people, after all, at this time, it is still not appropriate to change the status quo.
"There are still some things to deal with in the capital, so it's better to go back as soon as possible." What Gu Lianqi said was not a lie, at least he had to talk to Fei Yu in detail about what happened in the capital recently...... It's a little complicated.
Gu Qiyan nodded slightly, and didn't say much, the capital is afraid that it is better than this Tiancheng County...... The situation is even more constrained.
The two people in the house were silent for a while, as the children and grandchildren of the Gu family, they knew what to do and what not to do.
"Lin Yong said that something was reported to the lord of Yuan, saying that he was afraid that the term of office of the county order of the whole state would be advanced." Hua Jinghuan's expression was meticulous, and he reported to the person in front of him that the person asked him to tell him.
The person in front of the desk suddenly got up, Fu Mingyuan put the spread ledger away, and looked at the person in front of him, he knew that Jing Huan had never been able to hide his thoughts, so his face was ...... at this moment Undisguised doubts manifest themselves.
"Ah Huan, what's the matter?" The coldness in Hua Jinghuan's eyes was a little rippling, but he looked at the person in front of him, but he didn't say anything, Fu Mingyuan paused, and didn't speak for a while. His friendship with Jing Huan...... It's not comparable to ordinary people.
But all these years...... He seems to be more and more unable to understand the person who survived with him back then, Jing Huan said that he has no other relatives, but the surname Hua is extremely rare, and there is a flower mansion in the capital...... But since he arranged people to the capital, he has never left Ming Dye or near Fu Mansion every day, and he has not been seen to go to Huafu intentionally...... No, it really doesn't matter.
It's just that...... Jing Huan has not met anyone who can talk to him over the years, and for him, he probably has the heart to bury the bones of his parents by the Fu family, and this kindness has a weight in his heart.
"Ah Huan, between you and me...... Is there anything else to shy away from? "Maybe compared to Fei Ran, or Qi Liangyi, he and Jing Huan have seen life and death together, and they have seen relatives together...... Resemblance to the dead from the side.
Hua Jinghuan's expression gradually slowed down, it seemed that he just didn't know how to get along with people all along, he looked at the person in front of him, Ming Yuan was more stable than a few years ago, and the things in the Yuan Pavilion also worried him for a long time, although he was not from the Yuan Pavilion, but he also knew Lin Yong, Song Zhichu and others, but because of this......
"Su Han fled back then, and the Yuan Lord didn't send anyone to find him, and the current situation at the beginning of the Song Dynasty is very similar to Su Han back then...... "If this happens again in the Yuan Pavilion, then this Yuan Pavilion ...... It's going to go away.
Fu Mingyuan listened carefully, after all, he knew that Jing Huan had never taken the initiative to speak, let alone talk about other people's affairs, but his expression gradually revealed some smiles, probably when he asked him to go to Mingyue Restaurant to find it, he was dissatisfied at the beginning, but this matter ...... He wasn't worried.
"Su Han and the beginning are two people, the path Su Han chose back then, but he didn't necessarily choose at the beginning, let alone ...... Lin Yong stayed in the Yuan Pavilion and would not leave at the beginning. The reason why he has this certainty is nothing more than what he has seen in his eyes over the years, Lin Yong's temperament has changed a lot compared to when he was a child, and it has to be said that this can be attributed to the beginning of the Song Dynasty, but every time Lin Yong, this kid gets into trouble, this pot is carried at the beginning, and it is such a friendship...... He didn't have that heart at the beginning of his belief.
Hua Jinghuan nodded a little coldly, it seemed that after listening to this explanation, he didn't worry about anything anymore, but Fu Mingyuan already had some plans in his heart, it seemed that it was a good decision to let Jinghuan interact with them at the beginning on weekdays.
This can be regarded as an explanation for the deceased uncle and aunt......
"Xiao Nian, come over and see what's going on?" Fu Mingran took out the jade flute with a green body from the box, but there were some inconspicuous cracks at the end of the flute, and there was a little darkness in her eyes, and they all said that jade is human, since this flute is Mr. Bai's thing, could it be Mr. Bai......
"Little boy, probably this flute has not been well maintained, but the slave maid doesn't know much about jade and the like, but ......" The people around him looked at the pattern very carefully, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and they seemed to have made a new discovery, "This crack looks like a blooming lotus." ”
Fu Mingran also carefully connected every trace, it is true...... But it's also very bizarre, mainly because it's too coincidental.
"Xiao Nian, take the fan that Mr. Bai gave me." There should be no change in that fan, Fu Mingran watched the person open the cabinet and take out the box where the fan was placed, and then took it, the moment she opened the box, she seemed to have expected it in her heart, this fan ...... Probably it's changed.
