Chapter Eighty-Seven: Shangri-La
Master Lan Jingqing looked at Lan Lingxi, made a straight face, and snorted from his nose: "Lingxi, did you make your sister angry." ”
Lan Lingxi glanced at Lan Mei, who also looked at him triumphantly, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth.
Lan Mei is the daughter of Lan Jingqing's wife, Lan Jingqing's current official is the pacification envoy, in 10,000 households, there are 5,000 troops under his command, ruling Shangri-La, here is a traffic town, and Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibetan tea and horse exchange market, Ming Yongle four years, set up the town road pacification division here.
Lan Jingqing's wife has a bit of a background, she is the daughter of a big official in the court, and she has a very close relationship with Lan Jingqing's father, so she has children to marry, Lan Mei's mother is called Wang Muqing, it stands to reason that she was born in a scholarly family, she can be tricky, and her heart is not right, Lan Lingxi's biological mother Yixilam was driven away by her, of course these Lan Lingxi are not clear.
Mrs. Wang gave birth to her daughter Lan Mei for Lan Jingqing, and Lan Jingqing also likes it like a pearl in her hand, caring for her, being delicate, and cultivating Lan Mei's domineering, conceited and quirky bad temper.
Lan Lingxi naturally didn't dare to confront his father, and immediately said: "Abba, I didn't bully my sister, but my sister often gets angry at every turn and uses me as a punching bag." ”
Lan Jingqing didn't say anything, this is a fact, her daughter is short-tempered, no one can manage it except him, she doesn't learn to be a girl at a young age, she dances with knives and guns all day long, and the seven or eight maids in her hands are also trained by her to become a women's army, go out to ride a horse, draped all over her body, and are also good at archery, but her archery skills can't be compared with her brother.
There is such a saying in Shangri-La Town: "If you are not afraid that the master of Wanhu will be angry, you are afraid that Miss Wanhu will be angry." "She really dared to kill someone in a hurry, and afterwards Lan Jingqing came forward to settle the matter, and the silver was not spent.
Lan Mei didn't dare on the side, and said aggrievedly: "Abba, he lied, I saw a snow wolf hunting today, so beautiful and beautiful, I want to catch it alive, my brother will shoot it when he pulls out the arrow, it's not that the snow wolf is clever, he died under his arrow, Abba, you have to be the master with me." ”
Lan Jingqing said with great interest: "There is a prey that can escape from Ling Xi's arrows, miracle, miracle, where is the snow wolf?"
"Ran. Lanmei replied in frustration.
Lan Jingqing picked up the teacup and took a sip of water and said to her daughter: "Mei'er, you are almost fifteen this year, since ancient times, women are virtuous if they are not talented, but you dance with swords all day long, you are not as good as Ling Xi, he is a man, he will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future and make meritorious contributions, glorify the ancestors, you will marry sooner or later, and your in-laws will not see you in the future, but what should I do?"
Lan Mei blushed, stomped her feet and said, "I won't marry anyone, and I will guard Abba for the rest of my life." ”
Lan Jingqing squinted her eyes and laughed.
Blue Ridge Hee is smart. Hurriedly said to Lan Mei: "Sister, don't worry, brother, I will catch that snow wolf for you sooner or later, but I see that although the snow wolf is young, it has a strong temperament, and I don't know if you can tame it in the future." ”
Lan Mei's face also relaxed, she likes her brother, although her mother has always been very cold to this foreign son.
Nestled in the middle of Shangri-La Town, Wanhu Mansion is separated from the common people by its tall courtyard walls, which are particularly striking with the red walls against the blue sky. The emperor can build a huge palace, this habit has also been inherited, the courtyard of the dignitaries in Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is more majestic than the other, they see the eternity of the foundation from the deep palace compound, but the smart Lan Jingqing understands that it is just a beautiful lie.
The Yuan Dynasty fell in 91 years, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang died after the "Battle of Jingyan", Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen did not know where to go, the change of dynasty is the inevitability of history, although the "Yongle Year" national strength reached a strong period, but the Yongle Emperor's murderous nature, ruthlessness, especially when he killed Jianwen's relics, he tried his best to torture, but also unparalleled in history.
Lan Jingqing is still honest as an official, because he has seen with his own eyes the miserable fate of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty.
In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang once said to his ministers with such touching words: "In the past, when I was a common man, I saw that corrupt officials and corrupt officials paid no attention to the suffering of the people, and I hated them in my heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang's most cruel way to deal with corruption is to skin people alive. The head of the corrupt official was cut off first, the human skin was peeled off, and then grass was put in the human skin, erected like a scarecrow, and placed on the edge of the yamen, so that the successor official could see what the previous corruption would be.
Therefore, all the members of the Ming Dynasty trembled, and this situation changed until Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor.
Lan Jingqing has been cautious all his life, walking on thin ice, but he has also lived a very peaceful life, has both children and daughters, has a good family background, and has something to rely on in the court, but what he never expected was that he complained about a snow wolf in the end, and his family was ruined.
