"Who is this layman Qinglian? He is so arrogant and rude. He actually dares to arrange our Yongkang Palace at will."
At a post station next to Huanling Avenue, Si Qin, Li Sanniang's maid, read the biography of the bearded guest in the Beijing News and gritted her teeth in anger, almost slamming the table.
Siqin, who plays the piano well, is just like Chen Runniang, who used to be called Siqi. She is also a domestic slave of the Li family. She grew up in the house and grew up in the house. Because she is smart and good-looking, she was selected to be Li Sanniang's personal bodyguard since she was a child.
Maid, I am very grateful to the Li family. I have never seen anyone behave like this.
Li Sanniang just smiled and didn't take it too seriously.
She bought this Beijing newspaper at the Qinggangchuan Post Station because of the name of the Chongxian Hall of the East Palace Economic Bureau. Originally, she only heard from the postman that the Beijing newspaper contained Wu Qingyang's latest three frontier fortress poems, which were very good.
Well, it’s a classic, so I bought a copy.
The Beijing News is not cheap, and the one they bought was not issued by the official Bureau of Economic Affairs, but was copied by someone hired at Qinggangchuan Station, because this Beijing News contains both imperial edicts, personnel, etc., as well as
Wu Huaiyu's poems and two legendary novels, as well as some prices in Chang'an and Luoyang, etc., there is a lot of information about various bits and pieces.
This is the first time I have seen such a novel thing. Jingangchuan Station is at the must-go point of Huanling Avenue. Nowadays, there are many business travelers coming and going. They are all very interested in this Beijing News. There are many people who want it, so the people at the station are moved.
I searched my brain and found a scholar and quickly copied some.
After Li Sanniang read Wu Qingyang's three new poems on the frontier fortress, she liked them very much.
This young man studied the art of war with Li Jing. He didn't like red makeup and preferred weapons. He was proficient in bow and horse. He just wished he wasn't a man. Last year, he even ran away from home and ran to Huining Pass alone. He even recruited a group of people on the way.
The horse thieves robbed them, but they finally captured them and surrendered.
The strange scenery of the fortress in Wu Huaiyu's frontier fortress poems, coupled with the light of swords and shadows, the fighting and iron horses, are full of heroic ambition and full of masculinity.
General Tiger Girl likes poems like this. She feels very friendly and passionate at first glance. It is not as good as the palace-style poems with gorgeous words since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It always feels like a rotten smell of meaningless moaning, just like Chen Shubao, empress of Nanchen,
The army of the Sui Dynasty marched to the north of the Yangtze River, but he still wrote the poem "Flowers in the Backyard of Yushu" and had more than a thousand beautiful palace ladies sing it.
I thought about these idle words all day long, and finally lost my country, was captured and taken to Chang'an, and finally drank myself to death every day.
The golden armor can be worn in a hundred battles on the yellow sand, and the Loulan will never be returned if it is not destroyed. How grand. What's more, if you can make the flying generals of the dragon city be there, and don't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yinshan Mountains, this is a man.
Li Sanniang was lost in thought. Siqin and others were chattering beside her, but she didn't listen.
"Sanniang?"
"Um?"
"Aren't you angry that such a scoundrel dares to disrespect our Yongkang government and openly write about our husband and wife in the Beijing News?"
Li Sanniang glanced at the Beijing News. Although the story of the Qiubearded Guest was only serialized at the beginning, the story was written very delicately. The beginning was when Li Jing paid an audience with Sui Prime Minister Yang Su.
, the maids and maids were lined up, and a beautiful woman holding a mortal hand was waiting beside her.
She was moved by Li Jing's good advice on governing the country and believed that he was a capable man, so she later took the initiative to ask Li Jing where he was staying and went to meet him in the middle of the night, which triggered a story about Hongfu Yechen.
This opening chapter is also titled "Hong Fu Runs at Night".
Although the word count is not that many, it catches people's attention from the very beginning.
Yang Su, Li Jing, Hongfu Nu, and the beautiful maid from the Prime Minister's Mansion took the initiative to elope with Li Jing. In fact, even if it takes another hundred years, this kind of thing will still be attractive enough.
Anyway, there has always been such a rumor among the people, but the version is different, but the pen written by the layman Qinglian in the Beijing News is more interesting.
Even Li Sanniang was curious and amazed after seeing it.
In fact, after reading it, she felt that this was not a fabrication. Her great-uncle Zhang was indeed a singing girl with a red whisk in Yang Su's mansion. She was the daughter of an official from the Chen clan in Nanchen and was brought to Chang'an because of the destruction of Nanchen.
The reward was given to Yang Su.
Although Li Jing was not born as a commoner, he came from a well-known family in Li Danyang, Longxi. He joined the army as a meritorious officer in Chang'an County at the age of 16. However, because Li Jing's brother, uncle and others took wrong positions in the struggle, they were cut off from their posts and expelled from the country. Even Li Jing was expelled from the army.
implicated.
It is true that Yang Su tried his best to win over talented people from Guanlong families like Li Jing, but unfortunately none of the Li brothers accepted him, which led to the wastage of more than ten years.
But the story of Li Jing and Zhang Chuchen running away at night is indeed true. In fact, at that time Yang Su was in power, and there were countless singers, prostitutes and beautiful maids in the mansion, and Yang Su often gave maids and concubines to others.
However, there were still several cases where beauties were stolen from Yang Su's house. One was a princess of the Chen Dynasty who was rewarded as a concubine after her kingdom was destroyed. Later, her husband found her in Chang'an and hawked a broken mirror beside Yang Su's house. In the end,
After contacting the princess, the two ran away. After Yang Su caught up with him, he let them go.
Another one is Li Baiyao, the son of Prime Minister Li Delin. He was a famous talent at that time. He was a guest in Yang Su's house and abducted a beautiful concubine. When Yang Su found out, he didn't blame him and even gave her a lot of gifts.
.
In the end, it was Li Jing who eloped with Hong Fu Nu in the night, and Yang Su was not blamed for this in the end.
At that time, being able to abduct her concubine from Yang Su's house would still be a good story worthy of bragging. Of course, those who have this ability are generally not talented people from famous families, but they must be of high status.
Okay, the three people who could kidnap the Yang family's prostitutes and concubines are not ordinary people.
The son of Prime Minister Li Baiyao, he was a son of the famous Long family in Li Jingguan, and his uncle was Han Qinhu, the famous founding general. The Prince Consort of Nanchen was also from a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Sanniang also knew about the past events of the Dian family. When Li Jing and the others were young, this was actually nothing. The only criticism was that Li Baiyao abducted Yang Su as a concubine and took her back to be a concubine.
Only Li Jing only met Hong Fu once, and Hong Fu recognized her and eloped with him overnight. Then Li Jing actually married her, which was very unusual at the time.
The most important thing in a famous family is that they are well matched. Even though Zhang Chuchen was once a noble daughter, she has been reduced to a singer and is very lowly. Li Jing cannot marry her.
Li Sanniang didn't blame the Qinglian layman, but thought his writing was quite good.
Seeing the red breeze running through the night, Li Sanniang suddenly thought of the time when Siqi returned to Li's house, and they slept on the same bed at night, reminiscing about the past, and then several stories that Siqi had told her, including Cui Yingying in The West Chamber, and Pingkang.
According to Fang Li Wa's biography, these stories were told to her by Wu Huaiyu, and they were all very interesting.
Thinking about it now, it seems that the opening chapter of the story of the beard is quite similar to those two stories. Could it be that this Qinglian layman is Wu Huaiyu?
After all, this Beijing News was compiled by the Bureau of Economic Affairs, and Wu Huaiyu was the prince Xima of the Bureau of Economic Affairs. There were three new poems by him on the frontier in it.
Wu Qingyang, layman Qinglian.
"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Si Qin couldn't help but wonder when he saw her dazed.
"It's nothing." She handed the Beijing News to Siqin, "There's nothing slanderous or slanderous in it. I think it's pretty good. There's a legend about my great-uncle and my great-uncle. We were both kidnappers."
It’s not like you don’t know what I heard, but it’s really not as good as what’s written above,”
"Sanniang, why are you saying good things for the layman Qinglian? Does it mean that Sanniang knows who this is?"
"I know where to go." Li Sanniang smiled and said, "Have a good rest? Then we'll hit the road."
After passing Qinggangyi, there are two roads leading to different directions.
Xichuan leads to Lingzhou, and Dongchuan leads to Yanzhou.
Li Sanniang's visit this time was nominally to visit her second uncle Li Dejiao, and by the way, she came to Yanzhou to buy some land, and to see the Li family's trade in the border market here and what happened in Wubai Salt Lake.
But, Li Sanniang has some little plans in mind.
Some things cannot be explained clearly, but unknowingly, they have quietly taken root and sprouted. Li Sanniang is a woman who dares to think and do. She grew up listening to the story of Hong Fu Ye Ben, and even behaves somewhat
Zhang Chuchen who raised her.
Fan Xuanfu's hostile gaze and even the double-entendre warning that day had no effect on her. On the contrary, it only strengthened her determination to come to Yanzhou.
In fact, sometimes, she doesn't quite know why.
She just had a vague feeling that she should follow her inner thoughts, no matter what the result was, there was no reason to escape.
Siqin couldn't help but sigh when he saw that she was in a daze again.
This third wife, who is like a sister, has known her very well since they were young. On the way to Yanzhou, she often seemed to be in a daze like this, and the daze time was getting longer and longer, and the frequency was getting higher and higher.
See it in your eyes, worry in your heart.
I want to persuade her, but I can't say anything, and it's hard to point it out, but I don't say anything. I watch her going north, and now she's getting closer, and I feel like she's getting deeper and deeper.
She didn't even understand why she was like this.
Li Sanniang stood up and saw Si Qin's concerned and worried look. She smiled and patted her, "Look at you like that."
"Sanniang," Siqin opened her mouth,
"Let's go. We have to get to the next stop before dark. You don't want to spend the night in this wilderness. I heard that the valleys here are full of Buluojihu and Dangxiang Qiang people. You don't want to be caught by them.
Shall you shave the top of your head and be their mother-in-law and give birth to children?"
"Hey, if unfortunately I fall into their hands, I would rather die than give birth to a child for them, let alone shave the hair on my head,"
Thinking of that scene, Si Qin got goosebumps and felt sick. Even though she was born as a maid, in the Li family, she grew up in a luxurious mansion with silk and silk pavilions, and her life was better than that of ordinary ladies from small gentry families.
"Then go quickly,"
On the other hand, Shi Jian said without any worry, "We have brought so many servants and slaves with us. If any blind Qiang Hu dares to come, then they are looking for death. We will capture them all at the right time."
Then he will be taken to Zhuangzi, Yanzhou, to farm, and maybe he can receive a reward from Governor Wu." As she spoke, she patted the sword on her back.
When Shi Jian mentioned Wu Huaiyu, Li Sanniang was stunned again.
Si Qin watched from the side and sighed, thinking something was wrong with him.
