Two days ago, Li Yuan decided to appoint Li Shan as acting governor and temporarily take charge of the restored Daizhou General Administration Office. The news should not have reached Daizhou so quickly, plus the distance of this letter...
What happened... Ling Jing's face turned cold, he reached out to take the letter and opened it sideways.
Fortunately for Li Keshi, Chai Shao and Cui Xin both looked slightly moved. You must know that Ling Jing is now in charge of Tiance Mansion and is one of the most trusted aides in Li Shimin's shogunate.
Cui Xin raised the importance of Ling Jing in his mind, but he also knew that Ling Jing had joined the King of Qin at the end of the Shandong War, and followed Li Daoxuan, Tian Liuan and other generals to regain the lost territory and appease the place.
In fact, Cui Xin is not afraid of Li Shan joining the Tiance Mansion. After all, he is the only one of the Cui family in Qinghe who has not joined the East Palace. Moreover, among his in-laws are the Jingzhao Du family and the Qinghe Fang family.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Ling Jing's expression slowed down and he handed the letter to Cui Xin with a smile, "I just said that I regretted that Huairen was not here today, but unexpectedly..."
Cui Xin glanced at it for a few times, clicked his tongue twice, thought for a moment and handed it to Zhang Wenguan, then raised his chin toward the outside.
In the side hall on the other side, the maids and maids were kicked out. Mrs. Zhu made tea herself, Mrs. Cui was helping. Mrs. Changsun and Mrs. Zhang went back and forth to test each other out. Mrs. Changsun's two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Cui,
Wen added a few words from time to time.
The engagement is already a certainty, but there are still many things that need to be understood each other... Marriage is not just a couple, but also involves two families, or even two families.
Mrs. Zhang had been warned by her husband in advance not to ask about Li Shan's ancestors, but only asked about various other trivial matters...such as his residence.
Changsun said softly, "It's in Yanshoufang. It was transferred after the imperial examination. It occupies a large area, but it needs to be renovated."
Zhang was stunned for a moment. Yanshoufang is located in the southwest corner of the palace, close to the West Market... It is a good location that even the family cannot get. It was taken back to the Shaofu early, and His Majesty occasionally gave it to his ministers.
"Huairen conferred a title to the county prince. With His Majesty's grace, he granted the title to five hundred households. Now Sun Moon Lake is the Li family's Zhuangzi." Changsun said with a smile: "The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. The reorganization of Zhuangzi in the past two years was also done by Huairen."
Ms. Cui was surprised and said: "I just climbed the mountain and saw that the aqueduct was curved, water dragons splashed and dotted with stars, but it was Li Langjun's handiwork?"
"The spring is diverted from the mountain to Sun Pool in the west of the village. Aqueducts are spread throughout the village. It is very convenient to get water. It leads all the way to Moon Pool in the east of the village and then flows into the Jing River." Changsun said softly: "Water villages in the south of the Yangtze River are rare in the north.
Very.”
Wen was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. She smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Cui can live in a different place."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up. The most difficult thing between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was that it would be much more comfortable if Mrs. Zhu lived in Sun Moon Lake and her daughter lived in Yanshoufang. She didn't have to worry about morning and evening and could also greet her from time to time... Mrs. Zhang married into the Cui family that year.
, suffered a lot of grievances in this regard.
As for other aspects, it was difficult for the Zhang family to ask. The eldest Sun family maintained her own identity. The two younger generations, the Cui family, and the Wen family whispered casually... Anyway, they have money and land, and someone under their family owns a house. They don't lack anything, so they will definitely not be affected.
Wronged.
At this time, Miss Cui came over with a tea tray.
Changsun took a look and said with a smile: "You are indeed very skillful."
Miss Cui blushed, "Auntie ordered tea."
"Practice makes perfect." Zhu smiled and said, "This is a small path. If you get started, it will be very fast."
Mrs. Zhang once heard from Zhang Wenguan that Mr. Zhu was good at cooking tea. Today, it turned out to be true when he saw it. He drank six cups of tea, which was indeed close to Taoism.
The art of making tea... The poor family wanted to learn it but had no place to learn it. Zhang could not help but be a little curious. There was a Zhu family in the world, and there was a famous Zhu family in Jiangnan, but this one was obviously not from Jiangnan. I remembered that Changsun mentioned that he was from Guanzhong.
After chatting for a while, Wen asked curiously: "Sister Cui, is that ruby going to be struck with gold or set in a crown?"
"That's right." Ms. Cui said with a smile: "The engagement document also requires a betrothal gift...then the ruby is the betrothal gift?"
Just as he was talking, the maid outside reported that Zhang Wenguan came in with a smile, "Aunt, there is a letter from Brother Huairen."
Before Mrs. Zhang could ask, Zhang Wenguan handed over the letter. After only glancing at it for a few times, his heart moved and he couldn't help but look at his daughter.
Mrs. Changsun on the side took the letter and recited softly: "There are several plum blossoms in the corner. Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it is not snow because there is a faint fragrance."
Cui, who was born in the Boling Cui family, couldn't help but sigh: "Let's talk about four sentences. They seem simple, but in fact they are profound. These poems are the betrothal gift."
"This poem can be a betrothal gift, a gift to a cousin, or a self-narration." Zhang Wenguan paused before continuing: "Brother Huairen is kind to others, gentle and elegant, and interacts with others like a spring breeze, but in fact he is arrogant."
Changsun nodded slightly and looked at Zhu, "Mrs. Zhu raised a good son."
Zhu's figure is tall and straight, and her gaze is bright. Such a son is so flattering to her... Although she still doesn't know where her son's poetic talent came from.
After all, Zhang Wenguan was still young, so Mr. Zhang simply left him behind and asked about everything in detail... Well, Zhang Wenguan naturally boasted so much that Mr. Zhu felt a little embarrassed.
In the side hall on the other side, Master Li suddenly asked: "How many days will my cousin stay in Dai County during this trip?"
"About four or five days." Cui Xin said casually: "I have heard that Dai County is in ruins, but now it is no longer the old view. Huairen's governance is like spring breeze and rain, and the people say that I have never seen such parents in my life."
Li Keshi hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Huairen is the acting governor of the state, and he is in charge of the governor's office. There are many trivial matters. He is also responsible for Yanmen, preparing troops, aiding Mayi, and fighting against the Turks..."
Ling Jing understood as soon as he heard it, "De Mou is interested?"
Li Kai, who was sitting silently on the side, nodded slightly, "Seeing Huairen's achievements, this junior wants to make a difference."
Li Shan is in charge of Daizhou General Manager's Office, so he can no longer focus his main attention on Daixian County. It is necessary to re-appoint Daixian County Magistrate... Li Kai is a close friend of him and is also a brother of the Li family in Longxi Danyang, so naturally he has this
qualifications.
Cui Xin thought for a while and said hesitantly: "If the Turks break through the barrier and enter, it will be very dangerous."
"Huairen is also in Daizhou, so what should we fear?" Li Kai raised his head and said, "We should join hands with Huairen."
"In addition to the long history, the Yiyang County Company and Sima are also unique in the restoration of the Daizhou General Manager's Office." Ling Jing said slowly: "Your Majesty abolished the marching general manager of Hedong Road and appointed the city king as the Bingzhou General Manager...
The state will definitely send more soldiers and generals."
"Besides Su Dingfang, I'm afraid there are many generals heading north." Chai Shao said: "Pingyang has decided to send Ma Sanbao to Daizhou."
Cui Xin also understood this sentence. There were more empty seats in Daizhou, and the East Palace and Tiance Mansion had to fill them with people. Therefore, Princess Pingyang supported Li Shan and not only sent Su Dingfang there, but also Ma Sanbao.
.
After all, Li Shan is only acting governor, and with the vacancy of acting governor, Li Yuan is unlikely to grant Li Shan or others the title of Twelve Guards General. Na Ma Sanbao is now the official Zuo Xiaowei General. In the Twelve Guards System
Second only to the general, he is qualified to lead all armies.
Ling Jing looked at Li Kai again and said, "Being a county magistrate must be based on virtue and strategy."
If Li Shan does not step down as acting county magistrate, no one has any reason to force him, but if it is Li Kai who is his best friend, there is a possibility of success... Obviously, Li Kai represents the power of Tiance Mansion.
Cui Xin was stunned. He didn't expect that Yuan Junzhang was forced to surrender, Li Shenfu was expelled, and Li Shan was promoted to the third level in a row, taking charge of the acting governor of the state as a long history... but this turned his surroundings into a battlefield for the heir apparent.
In the past six months, Li Shan has been able to travel freely among Tujue, Yuan Junzhang, Li Shenfu, Li Gaoqian, and Liu Shiran, but next year I'm afraid he won't be so happy.
