MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 37 brusqueness
Liu Ji and Fan Xiaocai left, and the maid who had just left outside the study room quietly entered the room and said, "After the king left, the female son did sneak into the study. The maid took advantage of the female son's departure and went inside to check. the letters in it."
This maid had been instructed by Liu Yu long ago, and stayed in the dark place outside the study. She saw Liu Zhao go and returned and sneaked into the room, so she immediately rushed to report.
Liu Zhao's temperament is well known in the Xin Palace. He is perverse, domineering, and irritable. However, because his parents are neglected, as a servant and servant, he naturally does not dare to speak up. Looking at Liu Xiu's posture now, he should have made up his mind to restrain himself. The countless pairs of eyes on his upper body who were afraid of causing trouble in the past are naturally all staring at him now, and he can't escape even a little trouble.
Liu Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows wearily. He said in his heart, "That's true." Then he asked, "Where did she go after she left?"
The maid hurriedly replied, "At Mrs. Fan's place."
His expression turned cold: "Go and call her to the study."
…
When Liu Zhao came, he didn't know that his secret affairs had been discovered by his elder brother. Before entering the study, he grinned and said, "Brother, why did you call me again?"
But before the words fell, she saw Liu Yu sitting on the couch under the candlelight, eyes slightly closed, as if he hadn't heard her words, his expression was rare and solemn, and on the case in front of him was the book she secretly opened. Zhao's letter.
She was very young, and she felt very guilty when she saw this scene. She twisted her sleeves and stood by the door, unable to advance or retreat. After a long while, she mustered up her courage and called out "Brother."
Liu Yu suddenly opened her eyes, and a pair of dark and solemn eyes stared straight at the past, making her feel more and more invisible.
"What did you just do?"
Liu Zhao bit his lip and said hesitantly, "No-nothing."
Liu Yu looked at her sister's lying appearance, her heart was complicated, and she gradually felt a lot of disappointment. She shook her head and said, "I will never change." Relying on the identity of Wang Mei, acting recklessly should not be tolerated any more.
"Since you have read the letter, I might as well speak bluntly. I agree with Junshan's words. There should be no less than one day in the family. After the new year, you will be fourteen, and in a year or two, you will be ready, so you should be good. Read and write at home. I have sent someone to Dongjun to invite Feng Li, and she will teach you the "Biography of Lie Nu" in person. Before Feng Li arrives, you stay in your own room and don't come out. "
Feng Yu was an old servant of Liu Yu's grandmother. She was very talented and learned when she was young, and she was as upright as her husband. Therefore, she had been in charge of the women of the clan to study rituals. She was very prestigious and could be regarded as half an elder. It's just that after the passing of the old lady, she asked to live alone because of inconvenience in her legs and feet, and rarely showed up. Liu Zhao had also met Feng Er several times when she was a child. She was usually sturdy, but when she saw this unsmiling old man, she didn't dare to move. Although he is old now, the shadow of his childhood has not subsided at all. He just heard the word "Feng Li" and subconsciously fainted.
"This book is very good, you should read it more, and copy it carefully when you are closed. If my sister-in-law is sick, don't bother me. I will order people to pick up the book you copied every day. Sister-in-law take a look."
He pointed to a box of brochures that had been prepared beside the case and said coldly.
What is in the box is "Fan Lu" written by Master Dong. All seventeen volumes and eighty-two chapters describe the principles of heaven and earth, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. Liu Yu's move is to ask his sister to be righteous, be sensible, and open. Vision, not limited to daily trivial matters and immediate gains and losses.
Sending it to Mrs. Fan every day is also considered a secret beating. He had doubts in his heart, but he had no real evidence. It was even more because the young Po Nu and Adai had lost their fathers and had not acted yet. If the past really had something to do with Mrs. Fan, he only hoped that she would pull back from the precipice and wake up.
Liu Zhao usually dislikes reading and writing. When he saw that scroll, it would take ten days and a half for him to finish copying it. He immediately wanted to apologize, but only then did he catch his brother's oppressive gaze full of disappointment and implied warning. He couldn't help but keep silent, bowing his head and daring not to say more.
Liu Yu was not in the mood to entangle with her any more, even if he sent seven or eight elderly healthy women to send Liu Zhao back to the house, and watched the courtyard from left to right, leaving no gaps.
…
But it is said that in the real middle school, Liu Yanshou has been restless every day since Liu Ruo left.
Zheng Xu has been the prime minister for many years. In the past, because of his relationship with Wengzhu, he was considered half a member of the royal family. Therefore, he knew all the secrets of Zhending. Now, because of Zheng's daughter, he has turned his face to this point. Not only did he abscond, he He also urged Weng Zhu, who was sick, to leave together, and now he is nowhere to be seen.
Liu Yanshou didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he was worried about Wengzhu, and he was afraid that Zheng Xu's plans outside the country would be detrimental to Zhending. After thinking about it, he still felt that he should be retrieved. At present, there are rumors that Zheng Xu escaped to the south, and the crown prince Liu An asked himself to lead 500 people to find it.
Going to the south, often in Shan County, you will be able to enter Zhao land in a few days. The southern end of Zhao land is Handan. Liu An went south all the way, as if he didn't stop there, and headed straight for Handan.
Because what he did was not public, Liu An did not hold the identity of the crown prince, and only Qiao Zuo ordinary caravan entered Handan instead of the post station, and went straight to Zhao's land to visit.
Zhao You was surprised, he didn't react for a while, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that he had met Liu An many years ago, and he really decided everything about the royal family in the Xin Palace. He had heard about it from Deng Wan's mouth, but he didn't know about Liu An Come, why do you have to go to invite him in person, while secretly guessing his intention.
The Zhao family has a vast land and a large house. When Zhao You rushed to the hall, Liu An had been waiting for a while, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao," with a very polite attitude.
Zhao Youyan sat on the couch, greeted him with a few words, and asked, "I don't know why the crown prince came from a long way to visit the humble residence. If I, Zhao, have offended me, I will make an apology here first."
Having said that, he wanted to stand up and bow.
Liu An's young and handsome face showed a shameful smile, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "How dare I ask for it? It's true that I really set up domestic affairs, and it affects Duke Zhao."
He then told about Zheng Xunan's escape.
"I came here under the order of the king's father, and it was not long before I got the news. He must have led someone to sneak into Handan. I thought about it, he should have heard that the queen was returning to Handan, and he would come uninvited for fear of her plans. Sorry for the harassment."
When he spoke, his face was as usual, but his eyes sneaked around the open door leading to the house, and he pretended to be casual and said warmly: "Why don't you see Ashu, the queen? I should have apologized to the queen myself. ."
Zhao You saw his actions in his eyes, his face was still humble, but he was unhappy in his heart. After the two of them strengthened the defense of the mansion and fields, Zhao Youte placed him in the courtyard on the west side. Although he was to be a guest, he was separated from the courtyard on the east side of the courtyard where he and the three of them lived. The walls and corridors, although they are both houses of the Zhao family, seem to be two mansions.
…
At that time, Ah Shu was accompanying Deng Wan and several servants to visit the temple fair in the city.
After Deng Wan became pregnant, not only did she not become sleepy and sluggish like others, but her temperament became brighter. It was also her idea to go out today. Zhao You wanted to go with her, but she was ruthlessly rejected by her. She only brought A Shu, and the two daughters' families joined in the fun, and they were always tired of talking in one place, and they were very happy. It was only when the sky turned dark and the vendors dispersed, they stepped on the carriage and returned with a full load.
The two held hands affectionately and walked to the courtyard wall talking and laughing. They were about to step into the courtyard when they saw an unfamiliar figure in the distance, and they couldn't help but stop.
The man could be vaguely seen, tall, tall, well-dressed, fair-faced and handsome, but there was no other servants and maids by his side, just wandering in the aisle, looking around from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone, when he saw Ah Shu Here, his eyes lit up immediately, and he strode closer.
At this time, the twilight was shrouded in darkness, and A Shu only saw through the shadow of the lamp that this person was actually Liu An.
"Ashu—" In the cold winter, Liu An's cheeks were flushed red, and his lips were slightly purple. When he approached, he couldn't help grinning, and his dry lips were cracked, revealing a few strands of blood. The pain stopped and smiled, "You're back, I've been waiting here for a long time."
After learning that she was out, he did not dare to send his servants to wait here, for fear that because he lived far away, he would not be able to meet her, so he endured for nearly an hour in the cold wind.
Ah Shu was surprised that he was here, but when she heard him call that boudoir name, she felt abrupt and inappropriate, so she couldn't help but glance away, not daring to look at him. It's just that he was shivering against the cold, but she couldn't bear it, so she took a step back and said: "Tianhan, the prince should hurry back, don't catch the cold again. If something happens, I will send someone to look for it tomorrow. My brother-in-law is. Sister-in-law is pregnant and should not be exposed to the cold wind at night, so I will send her back first."
After that, he turned around and ordered two servants to **** him, regardless of Liu An's lost expression, and walked straight into the east courtyard with Deng Wan's arm.
After entering the room, she didn't care to pick up the new hand stove handed over by the maid, and asked Zhao You directly, "Brother, why did the crown prince come here?"
Zhao You frowned, said his intention again, and then said defensively: "Have you seen him?"
Ashu nodded.
"When he came, he took the initiative to ask about you, and I said something wrong at the time." Zhao You was a little displeased, "You played with him when you were young, so I don't appreciate this person using the excuse of being weak, silent and secretive. Snooping, the way to draw your attention, has not changed after so many years."
Deng Wan saw some clues just now, and said, "I think that although the prince has a kind face, but his mind is not pure, and his behavior is even more abrupt. Husband, you must find a way to send him away as soon as possible."
However, Liu An is a famous teacher in this trip, and he is a prince, so it is not easy to speak out and persuade him to leave. Zhao You thought for a while, and said, "Since he is here to find Zheng Xu, tomorrow morning, I will lead him to the various farms to check it out."
There are many Zhao family farms. If you want to go everywhere, you must stay outside for a few days, which is a good idea.
…
The news of Liu An's arrival soon passed through the spies who stayed in Handan and Zhending, and reached the ears of Liu Yu in the Xin Palace.
At that time, Guo Qu and others were discussing with him the plan to deal with the locust plague and famine in the coming year, when the guards quietly handed over a letter, in which the words "Zhen Ding Prince to Handan" stabbed him into disarray.
"...The minister has been working in the farm for nearly ten years, and I have one or two humble opinions on disaster prevention..." Guo Quzheng was talking about the method of disaster prevention. But listened absent-mindedly, silently fascinated.
It was not until Guo Qu finished his statement and asked his opinion that Liu Yu regained his senses, raised his eyes to face dozens of pairs of eyes, and coughed uncomfortably, "This matter is very important, what Jun Qing just said, can you repeat it?"
Guo Qu and the crowd looked at each other silently, Fang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Qu has been farming for many years, and he has suffered from locust plagues several times, but he has never been able to save most of the harvest. At first, he was confused, but after careful research, Fang knew that because his family was not rich, he often In the fields, chickens and ducks scrambled to peck at the locusts, and most of the harvest was saved. Therefore, the minister thought that it is better to make the people not slaughter chickens and ducks before the autumn harvest next year, but more chickens and ducks than the field to cope with disasters. "
Hearing this, Liu Yu was silent.
At that time, people were all afraid of the locust plague, because it was not formed in pieces, and there was no harvest anywhere, which was very scary. Disasters must be sacrificed, but they dare not do anything. If this strategy is to be implemented, even if it is only in the small letter capital, I am afraid that the first one will be censured by the imperial court, suspecting that he has a different intention and is going against the law of heaven. Even the local tyrants may not agree. This move will offend many people.
However, if this strategy is not followed, then the county will have no grains, starve and die again, and the people will not be able to live, which is definitely not what he wants.
What he did was not only for the restoration of the Han Dynasty, but also for the well-being of the people.
After weighing the pros and cons again and again, he finally made up his mind and said: "Junqing's strategy is very good. After the spring sacrifices, Gudang will personally pay tribute to the county and invite him to have a lot of chickens and ducks, so that they can be grazing in times of disaster."
Seeing that he was so determined and selfless, everyone immediately respected him. After complimenting several times, he said some other matters, and then they all dispersed. Only Guo Qu didn't go, so he deliberately fell at the end, and he returned to the hall again, after deliberation, and rushed. Liu Yu said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."
"Sir, please speak."
"The minister's plan will make the king be suspicious of the court. Especially after the supervisor hears about it, he will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and slander the king." He said, his eyes were full of worry.
Fang Cai has a lot of people, and he can't say it outright. Now that the two of them are alone, Fang whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen has been gone for a long time, it's time to reply."
The queen has evil fate, Ke Dixing.
No one dared to mention this, but they all knew it. The Queen is here, and the Queen Mother and Sima Fang feel at ease.
Liu Xiu was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled bitterly. He naturally wanted Zhao Ji to come back, but under this situation, where would she want to come back?
That day, he agreed to her reluctantly for a while, and then sent her away in a momentary mood, and now he regrets it too much.
The letter he had just collected was still hidden in his sleeve, and the words above it suddenly appeared in his mind. Feeling upset and depressed, he paced back and forth in the hall, thinking over and over, Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Junqing, go back and rest for a while, and come with me to Handan tomorrow."
The author has something to say: today... let's barely count 4,000 words... I hope there will be 4,000 tomorrow, and 4,000 the day after tomorrow...
