Chapter 9: A Dreamless Night
In the afternoon sun, everything seemed to be quiet.
The river flows quietly.
The mountains and rivers have changed their spring uniforms.
Birds chirp and jump from branch to branch.
In the distance, a shepherd boy is singing.
There are farmers working in the fields.
Occasionally, a knight galloping on a horse appears, and when passing by the Green Willow Garden, he will subconsciously slow down.
Le Lanji sat under the begonia tree, quietly listening to the nursery rhymes coming from outside the wall, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously smiled.
She sometimes strokes the piano and immerses herself in the sea of music.
The sound is still smooth and pleasant, but there are a lot of changes inside.
Half a year ago, when she was confined in Chengdu Palace, the sound of the piano was tactful and desolate, with endless resentment and hatred.
A few months ago, when she was in Jinmenwu, the sound of the piano was low and hesitant, with a little confusion and a hint of anticipation.
Now, she is in the Green Willow Garden, and the piano sound is cheerful and bright, with indescribable excitement, and maybe a little ashamed.
The piano is like its people.
The sound of the piano is the voice of the human heart.
The east wind suddenly blew up a pool of green water.
Begonia flowers fluttered and landed on the desk.
Le Lanji gently brushed off the petals.
Under the petals is a roster, and the first few words are "Liangxian Martial Arts".
Yes, a number of wooden houses are being built on the wasteland east of Liang County. After completion, all student soldiers will move here to concentrate on studying, training, and laboring.
There are many martial artists around Shao Xun who fight and kill, but there is an extreme lack of talents suitable for management - this is not just a matter of writing and counting, among the student soldiers in each period, there are only a few dozen people who are barely competent, and they still lack experience.
Le Lanji will occasionally help, such as sorting out the roster, calculating and purchasing all kinds of materials needed for martial arts, etc., and then send a steward from Green Willow Garden to carry out the specific implementation.
There are dozens of servants and maids in the Green Willow Garden, many of whom are from the original Chengdu Palace.
For these servants and maids, the familiar people are still there, the princess is still there, and the whole house has changed to a male host, "it doesn't have much impact", what should I do.
Lan Ji is also more comfortable in commanding them, and she has a greater sense of psychological security. The preliminary preparations for the martial arts in Liangxian County are handled by several old servants who have been managed by the Chengdu Royal Mansion for decades, and nothing will go wrong.
After hastily taking care of the last bit of business, Arahime lazily walked to the low couch next to her, yawned, and prepared to take a nap.
He slept until the sun was in the west.
Shao Xun returned home ahead of schedule with a heavy heart, planning to decorate it, and suddenly laughed when he saw the beauty sleeping in spring under the begonia tree.
The spring shirt is thin, and the fragrance hits people.
The beauty's round and undulating buttocks are facing him, and he can't get tired of seeing it every time, he can't play enough every time, he wants to find a secret every time, and he throws his armor on it every time......
He gently picked up the beauty and sent her to the bedroom, where there were still guests to come.
"Lang Jun seems to be worried?" Arahime quickly woke up, reached out and put her arms around his neck, and asked softly.
"Something big happened in Luoyang." Shao Xun put the woman on the bed, pulled a thin quilt, covered it gently, and then sat on the edge of the bed, and said: "The Son of Heaven has collapsed, and the emperor's younger brother has ascended the throne in front of the spirit, changed the Yuan Yongjia, and granted amnesty to the world." The queen was frightened, fled from Liang County, and arrived at the Green Willow Garden in a while. ”
Le Lanji's eyes widened, even wider than that night in Jinmenwu.
"Don't think about it." Shao Xun stroked her face and asked, "I met Cheng Lekuan of Nanyang County in Guangchengze, do you know each other?" ”
"That's an uncle." Le Lanji said: "When I was a child, I lived in the old house, just ninety miles south of Nanyang City, and my uncle often came and walked around. His father took him to participate in several Qing talks, and his uncle's reputation gradually rose, and he was later recruited into the office. ”
"It's really easy for a big family to be an official, just blow a few sentences." Shao Xun said with emotion.
Le Lanji sneered and said, "Isn't this what generations have struggled for?" ”
"I don't have a family background, how will our children become officials in the future?" Shao Xun asked with a smile.
Le Lanji's face flushed, and she didn't speak.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
After a while, Lan Ji asked softly, "Why don't you send a letter to the concubine and ask the clan uncle to come to Green Willow Garden?" ”
"Can you let a few of your brothers come and sit down?" Shao Xun asked.
"Okay." She answered.
Shao Xun didn't mention it, and she wouldn't take the initiative to contact her family for the time being. Now that she has mentioned it, she is also a little happy, and naturally wants to see her family.
Liang County turned over a mountain to the south, which is the boundary of Luyang County in Nanyang Kingdom, which can be said to be close at hand.
Shao Xun has shown his strength in Liangxian and Guangchengze, and after a long time, the outside world will always know and talk about it.
In line with the principle of differentiation and co-optation, he wanted to open a gap in the family groups in Nanyang and Yingchuan.
In the direction of Nanyang, he chose the local snake Leshi.
The current Leshi may not look down on him, and may not be willing to join the system he created, but it is always right to get in touch with him in advance and make a good fate.
In case he was fighting to death in the north, and as a result, Liangxian and Guangchengze were stabbed in the ass, it would be really embarrassing.
"Lang Jun wants to see a guest later?" Arahime asked.
"The queen's car is only ten miles away from here, and she will come over with the county commander Yang Zuyan and the palace general Chen Yi later." Shao Xun helped Lan Ji tuck the corners of the quilt and said, "Let's sleep for a while." After two days, I won't be busy, and I'll take you to the mountains to hunt. ”
Le Lanji nodded slightly, her heart full of joy.
After living for twenty-five years, it was the first time that a man was willing to coax her like this.
Because of this joy, she is willing to beg the elders, brothers, sisters, and friends of the clan to see if she can help Lang Jun.
******
As soon as it was dark, people outside the green willow garden shouted and neighed.
Yang Xianrong got out of the carriage and looked at the mansion with a critical eye.
It must be a powerful house in the countryside, which has spent a lot of money, but it is full of the smell of nouveau riche who lacks heritage.
I don't know how it fell into Shao Xun's hands.
He is not a good person, he can even be said to be a ruthless person in Luoyang, he can do anything, and most of this mansion is not serious.
Shao Xun didn't plan to make a big show, but led people in in a very low-key manner.
Chen Yi wanted to say something, Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "General Chen's intentions, I have already known it, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”
Chen Yi nodded, and took the soldiers to the village north of Green Willow Garden to spend the night.
Yang Man hesitated for a while, then said goodbye, and came back tomorrow.
Le Lanji still got up.
She is not even a concubine in the Green Willow Garden, strictly speaking, she is a maidservant, and she is not qualified to come to see the sheep and offer her face.
But she still came over and brought her own handmade food and drink.
"You ......" Yang Xianrong looked at Le Lanji's more and more delicate face, a little surprised, and even a little jealous, and lost her voice for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Queen, please eat." Lan Ji put down the food box and took out the exquisite food one by one.
"You're going to be alive now, aren't you?" Yang Xianrong said sourly, and then thought of his situation, and the uncomfortable energy in his heart came up, don't mention it!
Le Lanji didn't answer Yang Xianrong's words directly, only sighed and said, "If I marry a few years late, it would be good if I could meet Lang Jun." ”
"Hehe, Shang Shuling's daughter, who doesn't stare at it? What is Shao Xun's family background? If you are not a widow, if you are not a sinful dependent, how can he succeed? Yang Xianrong sneered and said.
Le Lanji was not angry, she just calmly laid out the utensils and plates, elegant and generous, and her movements were brisk.
Yang Xianrong was bored. However, I was really hungry, and I didn't care about being angry with Lan Ji, so I ate it on the spot.
Le Lanji sat quietly across from her and didn't speak.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Le's once climbed on her head - although she was only the younger concubine, before Sima Ying fell, everyone knew that the energy of the younger concubine was much greater than that of the queen.
After Sima Ying was defeated, Le's was pinched by her for a while.
But how long has it been? Leshi seemed to have climbed on her head again.
This woman looks quite temperamental, generous and elegant, but she is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With a shameless and charming figure, how can Shao Xun hold it? She must have been eaten to death.
Uh, say Shao Xun, Shao Xun arrived.
"Queen, the minister is on duty in the house tonight, and he will not teach the villains to disturb the queen." Outside the room, there was the sound of equipment and armor colliding, and Shao Xun whispered the order to assign a sentry.
Yang Xianrong was a little moved in his heart.
She subconsciously glanced at Le Lanji.
Arahime had already lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt that the food was more delicious, and he had a great appetite and ate a lot.
However, while eating, she was a little awake.
What kind of anger do I have with Le's slave?
Alas, for the past two days and one night, people have been scared to death, and it seems that they are tired.
After eating silently, Le Lanji packed up her utensils and left.
After a while, a few maidservants from the Chengdu palace entered and served the sheep to take a bath.
After everything is in order, it is already the willow tops of the moon.
Yang Xianrong lay on the high bed for the first time, slightly novel.
Outside the window, there was a slight sound of footsteps and the sound of nail leaves colliding.
"Shao Qing, is that you?" Yang Xianrong suddenly shouted.
"The queen, it's a minister."
Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief, stretched comfortably, and fell asleep wrapped in the quilt.
In the middle of the night, Yang Xianrong suddenly woke up.
There seemed to be no sound outside the window.
Her heart was pounding, she was subconsciously a little frightened, and she involuntarily shouted: "Shao Qing? ”
"Don't be afraid, the queen, the minister is here." The sound of the nail leaf sounded again, and the calm and powerful voice.
"Hmm." Yang Xianrong lay back, and suddenly wanted to shed tears.
With such a good background and such a noble status, how did he end up in this field?
In this world, is there really no place for yourself?
What exactly did she do wrong? How can you be so miserable? Why are there people everywhere who want to harm her?
She couldn't figure it out, so she could only cry silently in the dead of night.
After thinking about it for a long time, maybe too tired, maybe too frightened, Yang Xianrong finally fell asleep.
A dreamless night.
Yang Xianrong, who didn't wake up until the third pole of the sun, suddenly found that she had slept so peacefully for the first time in many years.
She was stunned for a long time.
