Chapter 1007 The storm in Tai’an City is coming, and Chu Kuangnu risked his life to report the news
A maid named Xing said worriedly: “Young master, the world outside seems to be getting more and more uneasy. When I went to buy vegetables, I heard that the three rebel princes fought all the way, but they almost collided with Mr. Lu’s army. The rice prices in the capital have risen a lot. If we don’t stock up more, it will be troublesome.”
Now the young man who is smiling proud of the prince in white said softly: “Don’t worry, we can’t be hungry. But it’s good to have surplus food at home.”
She wanted to speak but stopped, and finally couldn’t help asking in a low voice: “Young Master, can we defend it? As long as the two Liao border troops of Gu Dazhu’s country go south to help, they will definitely be able to successfully quell the rebellion. But even I know that King Chen Zhibao of Shu is very powerful. He helps King Yanla and others to accomplice the tiger. What should I do?”
Lu Xu, who was in charge of Liyang Zhao Gou, said softly: “The white-clothed soldier saint chose to accept Wu Chongxuan’s army. Not only did he want to fight quickly, but it also means that the scenery at the farthest sight is not in this Tai’an City, but Gu Jiantang’s two Liao border towns.”
Xing looked confused: “Ah what does he think?”
Lu Xu joked, “That’s only God knows.”
She carefully handed Lu Xu a glass of hot wine. After spending more than a few years, the two of them have already had a good understanding of each other. Although Lu Xu was blind, he naturally took the wine glass. When Lu Xu lowered his head to drink, she sighed, “Ah, it’s only been peaceful for over twenty years, and the war is in chaos again.”
Lu Xu’s lips curled up: “We are probably lucky, we just lived in these twenty years. In the early days of Yonghui, the people of the Central Plains who entered the Xia Dynasty in the third year of Xiangfu this year, the old people and the children of the present must live in fear.”
She smiled and said, “Young Master is right.”
Lu Xu turned his head and looked at the half-open door, his lips pursed, and his expression was quiet.
She looked at the young master’s side face with a confused look on her face.
She had no extravagant hope, she just wanted to be by his side until she saw the young master slowly graying her head, but the young master would never see her gray-haired and unbearable old-fashioned attitude.
Lu Xu slowly turned his head and broke the tranquility: “I have already sent off Zhao Goujizi today, and I can say anything.”
Xing hesitated: “Young Master, do you feel lonely occasionally?”
The blind young man smiled and shook his head: “I am so content with the vinegar chicken.”
Xing stuck out his tongue: “Young Master is so calm and indifferent.”
He mocked himself: “The frog in the well talks about the sea, and the insect in the summer talks about the ice, which is so powerful.”
She didn’t understand very much, so she didn’t say anything.
Lu Xu suddenly said, “I remember there is a spring in my hometown, and it was praised by the Grand Cha Festival Tea Saint as the ninth spring in the world. If the spring water is poured into a cup,The water surface is covered with cups without overflowing, and even copper coins can float. “
Xing widened her eyes: “It’s so magical.”
Lu Xu laughed: “The copper coins floating in the water must be fake, but it’s like mellow wine is mixed with a cup, but it’s a real thing. If you have the chance, we will use the spring water there to cook wine in the future. “
Xing nodded vigorously.
Lu Xu raised his head slightly and whispered: “This spring is the most charming, the spring breeze is eighteen times. ”
She asked curiously: “Young Master, who wrote the poem, it’s pretty good. “
Lu Xu stretched out his finger, pointed at himself, smiling and gentle.
Xing immediately said seriously: “What a great poem! “
Lu Xu pointed at her: “You are not very good at flattering. “
Xing was a little embarrassed.
Lu Xu gently spread one palm to the woman beside him.
She was timid and gentle as if she was struck by lightning. Finally, she mustered up the courage to stretch out her somewhat cold and slender thigh and put it on his palm.
Lu Xu held her hand tightly and said, “Xing, I am a blind man. From now on, you will help me see those great rivers and mountains. When you see it, I will see it. “
She choked and said, “Young Master, don’t dislike me for being stupid.” “
Lu Xu shook his head and said softly: “Husband doesn’t dare. ”
The snow outside the house fell into the world, and the hearts of people inside the house were as warm as spring.
The fourth year of Xiangfu, early spring.
The last goose-feather snow at the end of last year has not yet melted away.
King Zhao Sui of Jiaodong raised all his elite troops and rushed south. At the same time, the elite cavalry of the Hezhou General Cai Bai’s army and Yang Huchen and Han Fang’s cavalry successfully joined the dragon. Ma Zhongxian, the governor of Jing’andao, claimed that he had gathered 100,000 elite soldiers under his command and was about to advance eastward.
These good news made this year’s first court meeting add a lot of festive atmosphere that he never had in the New Year.
After retreating from the court, Sun Yin found Fan Changhou among the crowd and said that he had recently picked up a broken score. It was really a great achievement of magical skills and his chess power soared. He could definitely make this ten-stage chess saint look good on the chess board.
The Changhou Fan originally walked side by side with Song Keli, who was also in the Hanlin Academy. The two were in a similar mood and had a close relationship. The Song family Chufeng, who was in a family, has always been taciturn, but she often talked with the Changhou Fan at night.
After hearing Sun Yin’s provocation, Fan Changhou smiled and agreed to compete with Sun Yin’s house tonight. Sun Yin repeatedly reminded the great master not to forget to take the Liuji mutton from the Mafang before coming to the door. The Changhou Fan had to promise that even if there was no one, he would never let the mutton fail. Sun Yin stopped.
Li Jifu, the top scholar in the last imperial examination, ran all the way. When he came to the madman Sun Yin, he was a little breathless. After being rolled by Sun Yin, Li Jifu smiled and shy.
Li Jifu, who is dull, has always been ridiculed as the bottom of the first three in the Liyang imperial examination. He is neither famous and has no talented people nor has any contributions. Not to mention that compared with Yin Maochun, who was very romantic and famous in Yonghui, he is far inferior to Gaotingshu, the second-level imperial examination in the same imperial examination, and Wu Congxian. This is true for life background, career prospects, and clear vision of the capital. Li Jifu has been mediocre for three years and has not made a name for himself. Now the next palace examination is about to be ushered in. Although there has not been a result yet, the Qin Guanhai, the autumn examination meeting of the Yuan Dynasty, was already better than Li Jifu in terms of style and demeanor. Qin Guanhai, a son of a noble family, became famous in Tai’an City, and Jin Lanting, Gao Tingshu and others helped promote and build momentum. Li Jifu naturally became a green leaf and was often taken out and mocked.
The only thing that attracts attention to Li Jifu, the honest man, is probably because he is willing to be the follower of Sun Yin, a snare in the Northern Liang Dynasty. If he has something to do, he will go to Sun Yin, who has just transferred to the Ministry of Rites. Every time he leaves the court, he will follow Sun Yin, as if he is uneasy if he doesn’t do this. The civil and military officials in the temple are no longer surprised by this. On the other hand, Sun Yin was really a constant master. After the debate and verbal battle in the Imperial College, he soon lost his official position and transferred from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Rites within a year. Not long after, he cursed the Minister of Shang and the Minister of the Three Kingdoms, and the only doctor who escaped by luck was chased by other officials almost every time he went to court, such as “Doctor Ma, was he scolded by the person who blocked the door yesterday?” “Ma may continue to survive today.” “Master Ma must hold on, I bet you safe this month! Whether the salary of next month can be taken into pocket depends on you!”
Soon, this Ma Langzhong became a famous figure known to the court, which shows the arrogance of Sun Yin, the “little official of the Ministry of Rites”.
