Chapter 300: What do they fight for?
It is not necessary to take a child's accusation to heart, the child's concept of right and wrong is too straightforward, and if he thinks that it is right, it is right, and wrong is wrong, and he will not consider other factors at all.
But Yiyu just felt restless, turning over and over, Xiao Di stared at her with red eyes and angrily, scolding her for being useless.
When Lu heard about this, he saw that she didn't move the chopsticks a few times at lunch, so he tried to comfort her, but Lu was clumsy, but he wanted Yu Yu to relax her heart in turn, and force her to look like nothing happened.
Lu Shi was worried, afraid that she would be depressed when she was pregnant, so he found the West Courtyard and asked Han Li for help.
This trip to Hebei, how could there be no Han Li's tail, and Han Shiyu was reluctant to follow, Han Li was lax in her control, and it was useless to persuade Lu Shi to persuade her a few times, so he simply let her stay in the Chang'an Mansion and be with Jin Lu'an.
It is rare for the Lu family to take the initiative to come to find it, Han Li thought of course he was politely welcoming people from the door to the hall, this mansion is not big, but it was still allocated to him a small courtyard, I don't know if Yu Yu had the intention or no intention to arrange it, and it was separated from Lu's residence by most of the courtyard.
Fortunately, Han Li was not aggrieved, he would only sway in front of the Lu family after dinner, and occasionally go to Yiyu to "chat".
"You came just in time, I made a good pot of tea, you come to taste it."
Han Li seems to have a way in Tiannan, Haibei and Beibei, he can eat everywhere, and the good tea and wine are just like picking them up from the street outside.
How could Lu Shi be in the mood to drink tea with him, and smashed two bites of the cow chewing peonies, and went straight to the point:
"You go and help me persuade Yu'er."
Han Li had actually heard about the sale of victims in Anyang City, but he had a puzzled look on his face:
"What's going on?"
Lu Shi told him what had happened, and finally said:
"I know that she doesn't want to go in her heart, so she is depressed, but she doesn't want to think about it, where is her turn to take care of this matter, if she can't manage it, she can't let it go, she will be unable to get along with herself all day long, you help me persuade her."
After talking for a long time, the Lu family didn't understand what she wanted Han Li to persuade Yuyu, but Han Li nodded with an understanding expression.
"Okay, I'll go."
After that, he took a sip of tea and looked at her, just sitting there without moving, Lu Shi waited for a while, and said suspiciously: "Why don't you go yet?" β
"Don't worry, it's not too late to go after drinking this pot of tea," Han Li picked up the hot teapot and poured another sip into her cup, and suddenly said:
"I heard that there is a flower market in the east of Anyang at the end of this month, so I plan to pick two bonsai plants and put them in the study."
Lu Shi was anxious to urge him to go over the Yu side, so he said perfunctorily: "Okay, your study is empty, it's good to add two pots of furnishings." β
Han Li's face was sad, "It's just that I'm not very good at the placement in the house, so I'm afraid that it won't look good when I pick it up, so I ran away in vain." β
Lu Shi didn't think about it, so he continued: "When the time comes, I will pick it with you." β
"Then we'll settle it, and I'll help you persuade her." Han Li smiled, stood up and walked out, the goal had been achieved, and he didn't have to make any more inches, lest she react and give him a look at him for a few days.
When he walked away from the door, he touched his chin and smiled.
More than ten years ago in Chang'an City, there was also such a flower market, I can't remember much, that year the spring flowers bloomed, he wrote a letter to invite her to enjoy the flowers, plucked up the courage to express his heart, but did not want to wait for the news that she was promised to others, to later, the family was ruined, after more than 20 years, there was such an opportunity.
When Han Li found the relict jade, she was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, holding her head and holding a book in her hand, as if she was reading, and she didn't know if she had turned a page for a long time.
"On such a good day, you should come out and sit, but reading in the sun will hurt your eyes."
Hearing the voice, Yu Yu came back to his senses, looked up and saw Han Li walking in from the arch, so he sat up straight and squeezed out a smile:
"Uncle Han."
Although she is not interested in Han Li's character, in the face of an elder who can be called "erudite and knowledgeable" and "full of economy", she will not lose any respect.
Han Li nodded, and Ping Xia ran into the house with great eyes, moved the square stool out, and asked him to sit down and talk.
"What are you reading?"
Yi Yu handed him the scroll in his hand, pointed to the stacks of books on the incense case, and said, "I sent them from Chang'an City, a few miscellaneous books." β
In the days when she left, the girls of the Moying Literary Society would send people to deliver things almost every month, sometimes a few books, sometimes a few calligraphy and paintings, and even more, they would also write down the big and small things in Chang'an City into a record, no matter how big or small, and send them over.
For example, Lord Fang was promoted to be the left servant of Shangshu, and he was crowned the prince and young master, and during the Chinese New Year, Lai Guogong, who had been secretly admired by several little girls in the society, married him, Cheng Xiaofeng was about to give birth, the women's pavilion built a new study building, and Qinwen Pavilion was stolen by several thieves, etc.
Shicai Yuyu is in Anyang City, and he is not ignorant of the movements in Beijing, but seeing that they did not mention the disaster in the north, they looked naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, and sighed in their hearts.
Han Li saw that her expression was gloomy, but he didn't know what to do, so he took the scroll and turned a few pages casually, then put it on the coffee table, and said to himself:
"When I went out yesterday, I heard a story told by someone in the teahouse, and I thought it was funny. It is said that there was such a poor man who got a large sum of money, and it was not long before he was found dead at home. β
Yi Yu listened to the beginning, and saw that he was stuck, so in order not to spoil the fun, he took the opportunity to ask:
"And then?"
Han Li spread his hands, "There is no later." β
Yu Yu was a little ridiculous, "What kind of story is this?" β
Han Li also smiled and asked her, "Guess how this person died?" β
Yi Yu casually said two answers, "Vendetta, murder for money." β
"Guess again."
"Otherwise, death in an accident."
Han Li shook his head, "That's not right.
Yi Yu thought for a long time and couldn't think of any other answer, and was also a little curious, so he humbly asked, "Then how did he die?" β
Han Li laughed, winked at her, and gave the answer slowly:
"Sad."
Yi Yu frowned, and in a blink of an eye, she understood that Han Li was making fun of her, and just as she didn't know whether to be angry or pretend not to understand, Han Li had already explained to herself:
"This man, when she was poor, wanted many things, but she didn't have the money to buy them, so she watched others squander. But when she really waited for her to have money, the first thing she thought about was not how to spend it, but how to protect the money, not to lose a child, and couldn't sleep all day and night, just afraid that as soon as the morning dawned, the money would fly out of thin air, and over time, she didn't dare to spend money, and she was afraid of losing money, so she guarded the money that couldn't be spent, and directly worried about the past, hahaha, this story, isn't it very interesting? β
Han Li laughed as if no one was around, and when he heard it to Yu Yu, it was unprovoked and harsh, and when he was happy, he said loudly:
"What exactly do you want to say, you might as well be blunt."
Han Li's face turned pale, and he changed his joke, "Do you want to meddle in the business of Anyang to capture and sell the victims?" β
Hearing about the victims, Yu Yu subconsciously wanted to veto, but under Han Li's seemingly perceptive gaze, he couldn't say a single word "no", and there was an unexplained irritability in his heart.
Why did they question her about this matter one by one, she just wanted to wait here quietly for Li Tai to come back, she didn't want to cause trouble, she didn't want to make trouble, and she didn't want to make enemies for him during the critical period.
Those victims are indeed worthy of sympathy, and she also wants to save them, but what can she do to save them, just by virtue of the title of a strong outsider on her head, just by virtue of Li Tai's favor and connivance with her
"Don't you understand?" Han Li stood up slowly, his penetrating gaze into her thoughts:
"Money is used to spend it, buy what you want to buy, and power is to use it and do what you want, otherwise, what are people fighting for?"
After that, he didn't care whether the jade could understand it or not, dusted off the wrinkled hem of his clothes, and walked away.
A seat, a word of proverbs, echoed in the ears of the jade, the so-called Daigo empowerment, but that's it.
Pingxia and Pingyun watched Han Li leave, and cautiously turned their heads to see Yi Yu's face, and saw her with her head down, her face flickering and dark, muttering to herself, not knowing what to say.
"Yes, what are you fighting for, if you don't have them, what are you fighting about?"
The two maids pushed each other, and finally Pingxia stood up and said dryly:
"Master, the sun is getting bigger, and the slave and maid help you into the house?"
Yi Yu seemed to be in a dream, and was awakened by this sound that was neither light nor heavy, her face was bright, and she suddenly stood up from the couch, startling the two maids.
"Pingyun, go and invite Sun Dianjun over, Pingxia, go to the study first to study ink for me."
She walked away a few steps, only to find that the maid had not followed, turned her head to see that they were still standing stupidly, and laughed:
"Still stunned to do something, go quickly."
"Yes, yes."
Pingxia and Pingyun didn't know why she was suddenly in a good mood, but when they saw her smile, they were also cheerful, and they were busy following her instructions.
"Soup kitchen?"
Yi Yu looked at Sun Lei, who was hesitant, and said with a reasonable expression:
"The day after tomorrow is the day of my birthday, take this opportunity to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, give porridge for three days, and leave this matter to you. At present, there are a lot of people in the city, I will allocate you a thousand yuan first, if it is not enough, you can take it from me. β
"A thousand guan," Sun Lei was slightly startled, shook his head and said, "This is too much, build a porridge shack, even if a thousand people come to eat porridge, it only costs two hundred guan to eat it." β
It's enough to even eat and take, so why do you need a thousand.
Yi Yu's face was displeased, "Who said that you only want to build a porridge shack, south of the city and north of the city, but if there are many places where the victims gather, you will build one for me, the money is not enough, just look for me to get it, but you have to do things quickly, I will only give you one day, and I will go to the city to check the day after tomorrow, if there is anything inconsiderate, I will ask you." β
Sun Lei Ruo is just a pawn in the palace, as an official of the imperial court, Yi Yu will not talk to him in such a tough tone, but he is Li Tai's diehard loyalist, Li Tai's subordinate, at a critical time, she still needs to be polite to him.
Ray listened to her tone, and his face was embarrassed.
You must know that although it is the "peak season" for buying and selling disaster victims, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, because it takes time to transport the population, and the city is stocked with foreigners who are to be caught and traded, not to mention 10,000, but also 2,000.
He is not afraid that Yu Yu will not be able to take out the money, he is in charge of the silver treasury of the Governor's Mansion, and he still knows the assets stored by the King of Wei here, but in the end, those people will be arrested and bought after all, and she does this, so that people can eat for a few days, which is not too much.
He glanced up at her, shook his head secretly, and had more disappointment in his heart, after all, he was just a woman in the house, and he didn't know the suffering of the world, so he did this to seek peace of mind.
"You don't have to do it, if you can't do it, I'll send someone else to do it."
Hearing this, what else could he refuse, nodding his head, Yu Yu seemed to have been prepared, and immediately asked Pingyun to take him to the side courtyard to get the money.
sent Sun Lei away, and Yu Tong came over.
"Master, are you looking for a small one?"
"You have been running around the city for a while, and you will not still be 'unfamiliar with life', I have one thing for you here, and you must do it for me."
Yu Tong knew more than Sun Lei, and he didn't ask what was going on, so he answered, and Yu Yu drove the maid out of the house, leaving only Pingxia on the side.
After such an explanation, Yi Yu asked him to go down to do things, and after sitting for a long time, his back was sore, and he got up and walked around twice, and the Lu family came over when he heard the wind.
"Didn't you just say that this year's birthday was going to be at home, why did you suddenly say that you were going to hold a banquet at the Governor's Mansion, and there is still a day of work, can you do it? The banquet post is not printed, you send it so late, so that the family has no preparation, what should I do if I can't spare time? β
Yi Yu was helped by her and sat back on the seat, and said disapprerovingly:
"Why is it too late, the food and drink are ready-made, those doors in the city, I can't wait to come to talk to me, not to mention the day before, I just sent it out in the morning, and they have to come over on time at noon."
This is true, Li Tai is the master that no one dares to provoke in Beijing, his reputation is outside, who doesn't know that he has real power in his hands, and he can't be offended, as his only wife, when Yu Yu first settled in Anyang City, it attracted a group of people to visit,
Take the county lady as an example, she came to visit and send gifts and letters twice in three days, and her words were earnest, saying that she was asking for her words.
However, she was rejected on the grounds of recuperation, and in the past few months, I am afraid that except for the people who work in this yard, there are not even many people outside who know that she is pregnant.
Because she knew in her heart that this kind of superficial respect and pursuit was just selling Li Tai's face.
Lu didn't think about it so much, seeing that she looked relaxed, he thought that Han Li had persuaded her, and secretly he took a note, but he didn't know that the other party had other plans, so he would waste this tongue.
Things have been decided, Yiyu regained her appetite during dinner, added a small half bowl of rice, and waited until the dead of night to sit at the desk, and did the last and most important thing before going to bed-
Write to Li Tai.
(A new volume may be opened tomorrow).
