Chapter 195: The Choice for the Second Half of My Life
"The silver candle autumn light cold painting screen, the blue sky and the clear night quiet pavilion. Spider silk embroidery needle, dragon musk deer burns gold tripod. Celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day in the world. Lying down and looking at the morning glory Vega, the moon turns over the shadow of the sycamore tree."
The emperor, who had just come out of the imperial soup, sat lazily under the eaves of the Nine Dragons Palace, admiring the fine poems written at the night banquet of Huaqingchi last night that were sent from Chang'an City this morning.
"I didn't expect Jinyu to have this talent. It seems that the song "Mountain Sheep" written before is not accidental, but why hasn't Jinyu ever written poetry and articles before? The Emperor muttered.
Xia Shouzhong, who was on the side, thought for a while and replied to the emperor: "Emperor, Taiwei also wrote opera in the early years, but"
Xia Shouzhong's face was a little strange, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Just what?" The emperor became interested and turned to look at him.
"A few years ago, Lord Tang Xian Tang didn't serve as a scholar and politician in Shudi, and it happened that Taiwei Jia took the great lamas on the plateau of Lazang Khan into Sichuan to rest, and I heard that Lord Tang, a famous opera artist, was in the local area, so Taiwei took the operas he wrote to find Lord Tang."
"And then? What did Tang Xian say? "The emperor especially wants to hear the evaluation of Jia Hui by contemporary songwriters.
"Master Tang commented, 'The writing is incomprehensible, the story is bad, the plot has no waves, and the rhythm is chaotic as if it is knotted, the only thing that is remarkable is this good writing'." Xia Shouzhong smiled over and over again, imitating Tang Xian's appearance.
"Hahahaha! Tang Xian is a humble gentleman, even he can't help but burst into foul language, what did Jinyu write? Aha! "The emperor was immediately happy and could not spend.
"Yo, so happy? The emperor is so interested! ”
An old voice sounded in the distance, and the emperor snapped and stood up as soon as he held on the armrest.
"The son of the emperor greets his father!"
"Slave and maid please the emperor!"
"Nephew greets the imperial uncle!"
"What was the emperor enjoying just now?" The Emperor naturally lay down on the Emperor's recliner.
"Hehe, father, Chang'an City sent a collection of poems from Qujiangchi Wenhui last night"
"Oh? Then I'll have to take a good look at it," the Emperor took the handwritten book of poems from the Emperor's hand and began to study it carefully.
This was actually sent by the emperor alone after letting the Jiaofang Division record it, and the emperor naturally didn't have it.
After all, the emperor's attitude towards poetry and poetry is to see it, and if there is not, he doesn't read it, compared to poetry and poetry, he prefers to compete with some old brothers, optimistic juniors and the rotating Shangzhi pro-army on the school field
Of course, since his succession, activities such as fishing have also become his new hobbies.
When the emperor looked at the poetry collection, the emperor looked at his little nephew, who had been with his old father and mother for the past few days.
But most of the time, it is the queen mother who takes her, and only when she is soaking in the warm soup, the little nephew will follow the emperor.
"Come, Pingyuan, sit down." The emperor glanced at Xia Shouzhong, and Xia Shouzhong understood that he would move out the two chairs that had been prepared when he found out that the emperor was coming, and put them behind the uncle and nephew.
"Uncle Xie Huang!" Chen Pingyuan saluted the emperor with a straight look, and only then sat down after the emperor responded to him.
Well, it seems that in the past few days, the queen mother has trained this child very well
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
It's good to know the rules.
And this child is so well-behaved and sensible, this is the kind of child that they like most among middle-aged and elderly people!
Especially in the past few days, you can still see the palm-like bruises that were beaten by Sun Zhiming's dog that killed more than 3,400 knives that night.
And in the questioning of those who came over anyway, this child's injuries are commonplace, and even a broken bone every once in a while!
It's even more distressing!
Thinking of this, the emperor accidentally saw Chen Pingyuan glance at the plate of pastries on the coffee table, this is worth it!
"Come, Pingyuan, eat! Not enough to make the dining room do it again! The emperor personally brought over the plate containing the pastries, and put it on Chen Pingyuan's lap without saying anything.
Chen Pingyuan, who was accustomed to refusing, was stunned by the emperor's enthusiasm, raised his head and looked at his imperial uncle's expectant gaze, Chen Pingyuan's nose was sour, he silently lowered his head and picked up the pastry, and ate it in small bites
Alas, what a wicked worker;
Seeing what the child had been taught by the man who had killed more than 3,400 knives, he cowered and looked terrified.
Hiss. Why is my uncle staring at me like this? Do I have something on my face?
No wonder it's embarrassing.
Chen Pingyuan, who was a little shy by the emperor's gaze, ate pastries more and more slowly
"Okay, okay, when Jinyu wrote the song "Hillside Goat", Lao Tzu thought that he was extraordinary, you see, this is not the best of three songs!" When reading Jia Huishun's three poems and songs, the emperor happily stood up and walked to the emperor with the poetry collection, glanced at him, and then stuffed the poetry collection into Chen Pingyuan's hand.
"Good grandson, take a look, take a good look, this is my Great Qi Taiwei's literary style! He is not only a martial artist who destroyed the Three Kingdoms in a row, but also the top songwriter of Daqi today, what is this called? This is called both civil and military! You also have to learn from him, our old Chen family will produce a royal poet, lyricist, and prose everyone, do you have confidence! ”
"Huh? Oh, dare not obey your fate! ”
"Hahahaha, good boy, worthy of being a descendant of my old Chen family!" Hearing Chen Pingyuan's firm tone, the emperor laughed heartily, and kept patting the emperor's shoulder The emperor was painful and happy
This kid. In the end, he chose to follow the life set for him by his father
The emperor was very pleased
But my shoulder hurts!
。。。。。。
"Yo, the arrow wound on the ass is healed?"
In the main hall of the county mansion, Jia Hui is meeting Cui He and his wife.
On the day when Donggong Si Yu left Lintong City, Xiuyi, under the leadership of Li Sanniang's two subordinates, successfully rescued the medical house and Li Sanniang's injury, and the remaining people were all killed.
"Hehe, it's just an arrow wound, it's fine in a few days. Besides, fortunately, the tip of the arrow is in the flesh with the armor on the body, and you can go to the ground after a few days of cultivation with some medicine, it's just" Cui Hehan smiled and scratched his head and said to Jia Hui, and looked at his wife who can only move in a wheelchair with some distress.
Although it is to perform a bitter trick, but. That's a bitter trick, it's going to really hurt people!
"Ah, don't worry about Thirty Niang's injuries, these are all stabbed by me personally, thirty-six knives and knives to avoid the vital point, just look miserable, look like this, half a month later, he is a living hero"
"This" Hearing Jia Hui's explanation, Cui He was about to throw out with a belly full of swearing, but the lives of his husband and wife were really saved by Jia Hui to some extent, so he could only swallow the swear words again
The two of them were able to enter the county mansion, and they were also stained with the light of studying in the East Palace Academy, and they and Jia Hui can barely be regarded as old classmates.
Since that night, the Imperial Palace Primary School and the East Palace Primary School have died, the mutilated, the captive have been taken captive, and now, there are not many old people left.
Die one less one.
"What's next? Do you want to continue to be a soldier or do you have other ideas? Reminiscing about his childhood with Cui He and his wife, Jia Hui took a sip of tea, and the conversation turned into today's theme.
"What's next." After hearing these three words, Cui He also felt a little emotional.
A few days ago, not even ten days ago, he was still a thief with a gloomy future, and he couldn't even give her a future thief because his wife was incapable of giving her a future, and the future was a dream for him.
But now, that dream has come true.
"I discussed with Thirty Niang, we won't stay in the army anymore, although we can't help ourselves, but we have betrayed Sun Lao Zamao and Wei Rabbit after all, and we are traitors." Cui He smiled bitterly.
"Who said that? Haven't we always served the crown prince, no, is it His Royal Highness Pingyuan? We have always acted according to the orders of His Highness Pingyuan, how can this be a betrayal? Hearing Cui He call himself a traitor, Li Sanniang was not happy.
"Okay, good, it's not a traitor, we're not a traitor, it's right to set things right!" Cui He hurriedly changed his words.
"It doesn't matter if it's or not, Sun Zhiming is not a good bird in the first place, when the East Palace was still there, he was already mixed with people who hated dogs, which of the East Palace generals at that time had never fought with him? Even the soldiers below often go to Prince Li to complain, and as you said, you are following Chen Pingyuan's pace" Jia Hui leaned back in his chair and adjusted a comfortable posture.
"Having said that, we really don't want to continue to be soldiers," Cui He thought for a while, and finally decided to stick to his original idea.
"Well, okay, what are you going to do?" Jia Hui nodded, since he had decided, he wouldn't say more.
"We are going to go back to Beiping first, pay homage to my father, and then go back to Datong, these years, we have saved a little savings, plus the reward money given by the imperial court, etc., we can also buy a few hectares of land in our hometown, and we will farm and herd sheep with peace of mind in the future."
"Datong? Farming? Jia Hui looked at Cui He with a look of longing on his face strangely.
"Lao Cui in Datong farming, I think if you don't buy a few shops in Taiyuan and Datong City to collect rent, the land will symbolically buy a hectare of heirlooms, and it is really true in Datong to farm land." Jia Hui persuaded Cui He earnestly.
"Then listen to the captain, right?" Cui He wanted to argue, but when he saw that Jia Hui's serious expression did not seem to be fake, he panicked, so he turned his head to look at his wife, who was never ambiguous in major matters.
"What do you see me doing? That's it, what are the two of us, and the captain still needs to use this method to harm us? Li Sanniang was as good as a stream, and fully accepted the opinions from Taiwei.
They don't know anything about Datong now, and their husband and wife don't have anything to worry about when they are the captains, so why don't they listen to the opinions of the captains?
"That's it, just listen to the captain!" Cui He saw that his wife said so, so let's do it.
"Well, but the land and the shop are not so easy to keep, and looking at your appearance, I am afraid that I will not have any intersection with me in this life"
When Cui He heard this, he pretended to be stupid and giggled.
"So, go to Datong or Taiyuan to be a county lieutenant? With this identity, it is much more convenient to do things, and the people of my Jia family over there will also take care of it."
"Captain!" Li Sanniang interrupted Jia Hui's words.
As Jia Hui said more and more, more and more beneficial to her own family, Li Sanniang felt more and more that Jia Hui had something for them to do.
"The captain treats me and my husband so well, if there is anything we want to do, just give us orders." Li Sanniang bluntly broke this layer of window paper.
Well, Li Sanniang's sensitivity to this kind of thing is much more than Cui He, Jia Hui nodded secretly.
"Then I'll be blunt." Jia Hui put the tea bowl in his hand back on the table, stood up abruptly with both hands on the armrest, and walked to Cui He and his wife, the sudden momentum made the two almost out of breath
"Those Jin merchants are very dishonest during this time, if you don't go back to Datong, then it's fine, but since you choose to go back to Datong."
Jia Hui squinted her eyes and stared at Li Sanniang.
"Then help me keep an eye on them, every Jin merchant caravan that enters the grassland, I have to know where to go and what to bring! You were trained as an assassin, Thirty Niang, can you complete this task? ”
"We can get the job done!" Li Sanniang and Cui He immediately regretted dying, but since Taiwei spoke, then they had to do it if they didn't do it, and they had to do it well!
You don't have to think about it to know that there must be embroidered clothes or Dongchang staring at them and the couple at all times!
"That's good!" The fierce aura that seemed to be able to scratch the skin suddenly disappeared, and the smile reappeared on Jia Hui's face.
"Since you have decided to do things for the court"
"It's for you to do things!" Li Sanniang's mouth was faster than her brain, and she interrupted Jia Hui's words again, and after reacting, she covered her mouth with a frightened face, but she accidentally pulled the wound and grinned.
Jia Hui watched as Li Sanniang recovered from the pain with an expressionless face, and then continued
"Since you have decided to do things for the imperial court, then I will not treat you badly, a thousand taels of silver a year."
"No problem! Mission completion guaranteed! ”*2
“.”
After hearing that there was extra money to earn instead of unpaid labor, the husband and wife did not hesitate to immediately accept the errand.
Tut. It's sloppy, looking at this picture, the cost should be lower
"By the way, since you're going back to Jindi. Can you stop by Wutai Mountain Wenshu Monastery to deliver a letter? Don't worry, it's just an ordinary greeting letter. ”
Since the Battle of the White Lotus Sect last year, Luda no longer planned to continue to travel the world, and after saying goodbye to Jia Hui, he went to his master's monastery on Mount Wutai alone to become a monk.
Jia Hui wanted to persuade a few words, but after seeing Luda's extremely determined gaze, he still swallowed the words back into his stomach.
But since he is a monk, he should be called Lu Zhishen.
Not in a hurry? The two patted their chests and agreed. After discussing some details with Jia Hui, the two went back to the yard happily to pack their luggage
Only Jia Hui was left in the Yingtai Hall.
Sitting back in the chair and holding the teacup, Jia Hui kept twisting the lid of the bowl and fiddling with the tea leaves floating in the water.
Jin merchants, water families, smuggling?
Scold.
