Chapter 370: Dragon Boat Festival
I don't think I'm a generous person. Unlike the vast majority of gentlemen, I know that it is not easy to make money, and for the first time in my life, I did not feel the slightest pleasure of consumption.
It seems to be a natural principle to repay debts. It seems that spending money to atone for sins, since inquiring about Lanling's narrative, the guilt in my heart is difficult to calm, and the sense of guilt directly affects my emotions.
The money is in the hands and pressed in the heart. Five hundred people, five hundred lives, the high-sounding heroic sacrifice for the navigation cause of the Tang Dynasty, but those of us know in our hearts that to put it bluntly, driven by interests, these insatiable shareholders behind the navigation cause gave their lives. The Wang family is just one of them, and I am the initiator.
"It's expected, you once said that this is to make money by luck, and death is inevitable." Lan Ling tried to make himself look indifferent, "You can't say that we will stop if we break these people, and it doesn't mean that we won't have such a situation in the future." As he spoke, he stuffed the red book into my arms, "Thirty guan has greatly exceeded the definition of the imperial court's pension for the fallen soldiers, and you will be relieved to give one hundred guan, but if the same thing happens in the future, is it still according to the rules of one hundred guan?" Many people who have just run the maritime business are not as wealthy as the Wang family, and they can't afford to pay the pension of 100 yuan per person, so you are giving the people behind you a problem. ”
Lan Ling is right, since the prelude to the voyage has begun, even if I don't do it, some people will jump into the sea because of this high return, five hundred people are just the beginning, and the number of people who die in the sea in the future I don't know how many times it will increase. It must have been weighed to be able to set the amount of the 30 pension, and my behavior was indeed impulsive.
But in the hand and not at ease, the lives of five hundred compatriots make this bonus a little unacceptable, the Wang family makes all the money, and the bloody money in Longyou is in the warehouse with peace of mind, but this time it is different, life and life are different. I still care a lot about who is expensive and who is cheap.
"Count me as a donation, and go to the academy of ships and navigation." If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Accident is our furniture is not good, admit once can not admit twice, regardless of whether this money can play a role in such a huge business, just do it. "No matter how much it works, it doesn't need to be recorded on the head of the Wang family, it should be donated by an anonymous person. Death is inevitable. But you can work hard to reduce the number of deaths, for example, why the big ship had an accident this time and the small boat was fine, which has to be studied carefully. The higher the rank of the sailor in the navy, the bigger the boat, and the commander of the sailor cannot be swept up without a trace in a wave. "It's a tragedy to die 500 people, but it's a joke to overturn the command ship in a wave, Cheng Chu is still serving in the sailor, I don't want him to have anything to do with jokes.
"The money that should be given to the academy has already been deducted from the stock bonus, and you don't have to pay it alone." Lanling once again rejected my kindness. "This money is deserved, if a few people die like this, then nothing will be done? Okay, don't ramble on this. The weather is hot, and I will take the sugarcane to Nanshan next month to spend some days. If you are really generous, you will give me your Zhuangzi, and I will just merge the two Zhuangzi into one spacious. ”
"No!" Destroying the atmosphere, is bathed in grief but dragged out by force, very unpleasant. Pinch it down. It's a pity to run Nanshan on the lively solar terms, and I also gave nine catties and sugarcane silver ornaments to avoid evil spirits, which has to be brought by the father to the child to work. "Let's go again after the May Festival, it's not too hot ahead, and I'll run away alone."
"Could it be that you can go along?" Lan Ling glanced at me dissatisfied, "It's to avoid this excitement, it's been really lively lately, I don't have the heart to get involved in it and cause trouble." ”
Boisterous? In addition to the five hundred crew members missing. Others are good, I don't understand what Lanling is referring to. "What's wrong? Who's causing trouble for you? ”
"Well, I'll leave no one at my widow's door except you." Lan Ling suddenly changed his smile and hugged Sugarcane and teased him a few times, and exchanged Martian words with Sugarcane in his mouth.
"Nonsense, don't say it if you don't want to say it," it may be that the Li family is unhappy again, so I will go over and stop asking. I learned the Martian dialect of the mother and son and joined in.
This year's May Festival was more lively than usual. The imperial court has invested in rendering this prosperous scene. Qujiang, Zizhuyuan, Yuntai, Xiyuan and other good gardens and good scenery have all made efforts to dress up, and they also made an exception to set up a three-mile flower market in the outer city. Those who have identity enter the garden, Jing Yin's poetry and wine, and the people of Pingtou can also watch a flower tour in groups of three or five, each with its own place, each with its own pleasure, and thoughtful.
Cui Zhangbao has two good places on the banks of the Qujiang River, this year's scene is big, and he has traveled extensively, in order to build momentum for the Qian Zhuang that the Cui family is about to prepare, all the people who can be invited are invited. But without Cheng Chu, Lanling went to Nanshan again, although it was still a group of people playing, but he always felt that something was missing.
The heart is widowed. After a look with the guests, they can't always be interested, Qin Yu, Zheng Hong and others are also in important positions, and it is difficult to escape the adjustment of this official venue, for a while, the brother here talked about Fengyue, and in the blink of an eye, he discussed ghosts and gods with the seniors in the room, and socialized, the usual positions have been temporarily abandoned, how to say how to say it, and those who come here to talk about government politics are idiots.
When men are bored, they always pay more attention to women's topics, as long as they don't involve their own romantic affairs, they are talking about it, and they meet the filthy psychology of these lewd men in whispering. Who would mention that there is absolutely no market for so-and-so adults and famous prostitutes, there are too many adults coming, it's not strange, you have to mention a certain rhyme between so-and-so adults and so-and-so adults to attract people, if you have the courage to casually say how a Korean lady is, it will be more classy.
Mrs. Korea, this is a new topic in Chang'an recently. Everyone is talking in private, and they can't wait to become the parties, they must all think so in their hearts, but if they say it, they may be dismantled, because the party is called Li Zhi.
In fact, Mrs. Korea is just a lead, today's Niangniang's own sister, no matter how beautiful she thinks, she can only be counted as a half-old, and she has a lot of hope for her taste, but the normal ones are interested in Mrs. Korea's daughter. It's not good to touch, the mother and daughter are supported by the head of state, but it's still very appetizing to discuss the process, at least I'm willing to listen......
It's good to be the emperor, and the mother and daughter go into battle together...... The desire is unattainable, lighting up the darkest corner of the heart of the righteous gentleman, just looking at the handsome face of the Dugu pot and listening to the tongue smashing on the surface of the foot to know the mood at the moment.
Stand. Born in the era of sexual liberation, I have not yet opened up to the Tang Dynasty. Such important things have been reported, so Li Zhi belongs to a very free and easy type of person, and he doesn't care what others say, let alone the mother and daughter swaggering all the way to the palace when they drove to the palace. Seeing a big witch, can the matter between me and Lanling be made public? Even if it's public, it's just that, the Tang Dynasty is good!
Bringing each other's wine out to breathe the air, the expressions of the brothers were unbearable, and Dugufu was already singing narcissistically. It's a very romantic tune, and the fact that no pot is cut in his face shows that my cultivation skills in recent years have gone to another level.
Opposite is the royal garden, and there is obviously no family style on our side. Over the years, the royal family has built a lot of construction projects to dig up a lot of Qujiang, and it has become a gourd-shaped, with a thin waist in the middle, and the royal family has the lion's share. A boat, a boat, you can't go over this waist. Once you pass, you are likely to run into Yang Quan's number coming to pick you up.
It's impossible not to be curious, especially when I say that this mother and daughter are amazing, I have thoughts, and we have seen a lot of amazing ones, but they are amazing...... I really didn't have this concept in my heart, and I looked at the hibiscus in Qujiang. It's a wonderful thing to think of.
Snickered, I can't eat grapes because we don't like that bite, have you ever heard of a fox eating grapes? Walked to the end of the garden, faced the lake, and climbed to find a condescending place to enjoy the cool breeze, take a sip of wine, and mourn for Li Zhi by the way. I'm afraid that it is because of this incident that Lanling is unwilling to be conspicuous in the capital. But the most uncomfortable thing is Wu MM, on the one hand, he is his own man, and on the other hand, he is his sister and niece, but it is really difficult to be ruthless.
Jumping up, I stood on a protruding boulder on the shore of the lake and admired the small half of the lake. The lotus leaves in the sky, four or five slowly moving painting boats, blowing the ground and the wind in front of them, and a large flock of water birds rising and falling. Falling and rising, all this makes the lake come alive. If only the sea could be so gentle, and thinking of the shipwreck, I was swept away, and I took a sip of hatred in the wine jug, so that the strength of the wine suppressed my heart.
The painting boat in the distance was reminiscent of the huge sea ship, but unfortunately, I didn't know anything about the construction of the ship. But I can't help but want to associate the advanced ship in my mind with the painting boat. Stared at a painting boat not far away. The boat also cooperated, and it slowly drove towards me. As they got closer, the railings and painted beams became clearer and clearer, and even the outfits of the passengers inside were revealed.
The painting boat of the female dependents may be the family members of today's guests. Strangely, there were four people quietly in the big boat, which was in great contrast to the scene of more than a dozen noble ladies playing on one boat in the distance.
There was a woman sitting in the middle facing me, and I stood taller so that I could see clearly. Familiar, seems to smile at me, it's not good to look at women like this, and it is rumored that I am a pervert and affect my reputation. I was about to take a few steps back and pretend to pass by, when the woman on the boat suddenly stood up and walked to the railing facing me.
It's not good to go, people smile at me, I can't just run away. There were no men in the boat, and the others were just maids, and so was Li Shi, who threw the painting on the boat to the lady during the big holiday. Mrs. Li was a little less obvious than the last time they met, but her big eyes that could speak were still clear, and she hurriedly took two steps forward and stood on the shore to salute.
The painting boat leaned over smoothly and fixed on the shore, and it can be seen that this male is exquisitely crafted. I used to take the boat of the second fierce son, and when I docked, it was more popular than the bus driver entering the station, and I smashed the shore with a bang, and I could plant it in the lake directly if I couldn't stand steadily.
"How is Zihao doing lately?" Without waiting for me to say goodbye, Mrs. Li spoke first, and with the support of the maid, Ying Ying got off the painting boat and came closer, looking me up and down very generously for a while, "Why did you run away in this remote place alone?" From afar, I saw that it was you, and I looked at the lake and did not move. ”
My expression must be very ridiculous now, usually articulate individuals can't even think of a greeting, and I don't know if I'm in a hurry, but my mouth is not good, especially when I was so charming that I looked at it, I was immobilized, and even my brain was fixed.
"Sister-in-law has a good holiday!" After saying that, I want to find a place where no one smokes myself twice, it's too cheap. hurriedly added: "Good Dragon Boat Festival!" ”
Mrs. Li smiled, greeted the warm sunshine and smiled brightly, and even the surrounding willow trees were smiling with this smile, I felt like this. Then he was about to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake, and a married man had such a strange idea about a married woman, which was simply a brute. I told myself in my heart that the three mothers-in-law in my family are a hundred times better looking than the sister-in-law in front of me. It's just a little bit of charm in the eyes, and nothing else.
"Good Dragon Boat Festival," Mrs. Li smiled, learned my greetings and pointed to the willow forest by the lake, "It's a coincidence that I worked hard to see this forest, but I didn't want to meet Zihao." ”
"Why don't you see Brother Li?" I stepped back and gave Mrs. Li the way to get out of the way. casually rambled a few words and planned to evacuate the scene.
"I'm afraid I'm entangled in some mundane affairs," Mrs. Li smiled naturally, but when she talked about this mundane place, her eyelids slowly narrowed, so that the straight bridge of her nose was set off, making the whole facial expression become cold. The fleeting changes are certainly not noticeable without careful observation, and it seems that I am a little too careful.
"People are always doing things in life," I laughed. He copied the wine jug and pointed to the garden, "The younger brother is also invited by a friend, and there are many people inside and outside, so he took the time to run out quietly and quietly." For a while, if you don't go back, you're afraid of upsetting the master's family. That's ......"
"Those people, who goes and who doesn't go, who remembers clearly?" Mrs. Li saw what I meant by leaving under the pretext, and said with a smile: "Since it happened to be a coincidence, why not talk?" Where did Zihao talk last time? ”
"Where?" What did I say last time? followed Mrs. Li's footsteps towards the willow forest. I can't remember any conversation I had with her.
"Exotic things, listening to the earth, are festive on this solar term." Mrs. Li casually opened the willow branch and pinched the delicate one in front of her head, let it go and play with it, and handed it to the maid behind her, "Go back and insert it in the bottle to raise, it is difficult to come out, you have to bring something back." ”
Exotic...... I don't remember having a conversation with her about this, but the last time I saw her was on the day Ying was diagnosed as pregnant. In Sun Yaowang's house, I was as happy as a second fool, and I didn't have time to take care of foreign affairs. But since people asked, it was too rude not to answer, and suddenly realized that they casually said nonsense: "Oh, I remember, it's a matter of the Soviet Union, right?" ”
"I'm afraid it's the Soviet Union." Mrs. Li smiled strangely from the corner of her eyes, and the two nodded in tacit understanding. "This state name is weird, Zihao tell me what kind of joint law is this?"
"This federation is far away from my Heavenly Empire. It is separated by hundreds of thousands of miles of oceans. It is difficult to exchange messages with my Datang. "Blow nonsense, you can only talk nonsense when you mention this. If I really say the exact location, I guess I'll be laughed at. "The national strength is strong, with the Su as the national surname, and it is arrogant in the local area, conquering countless small surrounding countries, coercing other countries to join its power, and the beautiful name is called: Federation. The monarch's surname was Su, and in order to show his merits, the country name was changed to the Soviet Union. Of course, there is still a little gap with Datang. ”
"It's apt, that's how it should be called." Mrs. Li pointed to the first gazebo in front of her and motioned to go in and speak, "According to Zihao, this Soviet Union is so strong that it may become my opponent of the Tang Dynasty." I wonder how long it will take to travel these hundreds of thousands of miles by sea? ”
"I'm afraid it's not good to get past," he stretched out his hands helplessly, "Compared with the Xingqing Ocean in our dynasty and the ocean separated by the Tang Dynasty and the Soviet Union, it is only three or four out of ten." Now the boat wants to go to the past, and it is a life of death. ”
"How did you get the news from the Soviet Union?" Mrs. Li covered her mouth and laughed, looking at her expression, she knew that I was scolding her, so she didn't care, and said with a smile: "But it is the same as the meaning of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Beyond the Northeast Sea, there is Su Shen Guo, which is exactly the sound of 'Su', I am afraid that it is the Soviet Union that Zihao said. ”
"Yes, that's it, hehe......" With such a considerate lady, Li Shi must be very happy. The lie was exposed and returned to such a grand step, pulling the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to relieve the siege, and the lying face was still bright. If you put it aside, Ying will definitely have to laugh twice; Second Daughter...... I didn't lie in front of my second daughter, I'm not sure; Lanling will be very considerate to find some basis to refute you as useless, it must be so.
A "Classic of Mountains and Seas" opened the topic, followed the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the topic is always gushing, human geography and religious beliefs, anyway, what I know is not enough to show, Mrs. Li always pulls a question in a timely manner, and makes a beat, so that the conversation process is full of rhythm and does not feel tired at all.
As she spoke, she felt that this woman was different, and she didn't meet many times, but she always left a very good impression on me, and she gave people a pleasant feeling in the exchange. It seems that I say more and she says less, but I always have control of the topic, my thinking has been working with her beat, and the beat she gives makes me feel very comfortable. This is by no means the ability that ordinary noblewomen should have, Ying and the second daughter do not have such skills, but Lanling has, and the process of recalling the conversation with Mrs. Li is very close to the first few meetings with Lanling back then.
It is not surprising that this ability appears in Lanling, who has lived condescendingly since he was a child, and the unique cultivation method in the royal family will naturally form this style. is sure that Li Shi is a royal prince, and his wife will never be a royal person, I don't know how the family taught him.
But after saying these words, I feel much better, and when I think of the five hundred missing sailors, I don't feel so sorry, and I suddenly feel brighter. When he went home, he pulled next to Ying, who was checking his nine catties of homework, and called the second daughter to come too, "Sit down and tell you about the Soviet Union." ”
"Busy, I'll talk about it when I sleep at night," Ying didn't have the heart to listen to this, so she pulled nine catties and came over to ask, why only pick words with fewer strokes to write, and those who are lazy will be punished.
The second daughter listened with great interest to my lecture to the Soviet Union that was fabricated during the day, and then I asked, "Do you believe it?" ”
The second daughter nodded seriously.
I knew it was like this, and scraped the second daughter's nose dotingly, "Fake! ”
