"Baren, is it cold in Liaodong or in the north?"
"Of course it's the northern border." Li Hui replied without thinking, "The northern border is after Liaodong. The northern border is close to Beiqi, and Beiqi is colder than our northern border."
Because of climate problems, Beiqi invades Liangyan's northern defense line every winter. Starting from the previous dynasty, they rob grain and poultry. If they are not caught after the robbery, they will pretend that nothing happened. Once they are caught, their envoys will go
The garrison barracks are miserable, saying "it's not easy", "I can't afford to live", etc. are completely the behavior of a shrew.
The generals stationed in the military camp can't do anything to them. After all, they didn't grab anything and were arrested. If things go on like this, they will be a headache there.
The capital knew the troubles in the north, so he rubbed his brows and asked:
"Then was your village robbed by those bandits?"
Li Hui shook his head, "No, our village is four counties away from Beijing Prefecture, and it's even further away from Beiqi. It takes a whole day to drive to Pingyang County, so don't worry about Jingyu, it's definitely not
Something will happen."
They are brothers after all. If it weren't for Xiao Feng in Liaodong, he would definitely not be willing to let his brother go over to report on his work.
There are many positions near the capital this time. Logically speaking, he is on duty in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so it is very easy to arrange. However, it is okay to go further. Zhou Fei has the blessing of his own brother, and I believe that the Liaodong governor will not dare to embarrass him.
Although he is nominally at the seventh level, his actual power must exceed that of the seventh level. At least he can have the final say in Pingyang County.
The copying is still going on, but I didn’t expect that today’s workload will suddenly decrease, and I can leave after lunch.
Li Hui was a little flattered and asked in disbelief:
"Go back now? Don't write anymore?"
"I've finished writing the part you want to copy today. I'll have some tomorrow but not a lot. Just come over later."
"Oh, okay."
After Li Hui finished packing, he still remembered the tidying habit he developed in the army even though he had been here for three years.
There were many carriages parked at the northwest corner of the official compound, not only from the official yamen, but also from the officials’ own families.
Tiandong was leaning against the car door, leisurely reading his travel notes. His duties these days were very simple, including sending the master over, picking him up home, helping to deliver meals at noon, and picking up some for tea. Following the part in the palace
Compared with life, it’s not too easy now.
Hearing familiar footsteps, I quickly put down my travel notes and jumped out of the car——
"Master, is it so early today?"
Li Hui got into the car with a "hmm" and said:
"Go back and let Shunxi set up the car. Let's go out of the city and stay overnight at Shuiyunxuan."
"...Oh, okay." Tiandong responded, waving his whip to drive the car.
Although he was a little surprised to leave the city suddenly, he just had to obey the decision made by the master.
Shuiyunxuan is ten miles south of the city, and Pang Lao's Zhuangzi is five miles away. It should be possible to drive faster at night. He secretly went to Pang's house, but the old man was not at home at all, so he went outside the city without thinking. The old man was too careful, so he always
Thinking of avoiding suspicion, I asked Mr. Pang to solve everything, so I went to him tonight.
These days, even if he can't help, he has made a lot of trouble for the things that Master Ren sent. The blisters in his mouth and the bumps on his face are getting better again and again. He just can't figure it out.
, the master obviously does well in everything and behaves appropriately in the palace, but why is he so late to do anything and no one pays attention to him, as if he has forgotten the master.
Driving back to the backyard, I saw Shunxi tying up the car and asked in confusion:
"What are we going to do? Who uses the car?"
"Oh, Miss Pang said she would take the ladies to stay in the village for a few days. Why are you back now? Master."
Li Hui looked at Shunxi who was bowing respectfully and asked:
"Why did Miss Pang come here?"
"Come back to me, sir, I arrived in the morning."
Just as he was talking, Cheng Xue and others came from the front yard. Li Tian spotted his father with sharp eyes and ran over with "ta da da...". Satisfied, he was picked up by his father, and the little girl hugged his neck affectionately.
"Dad, why are you so early today? Have you had lunch?"
"Have you eaten? Have you eaten?"
"I also ate stewed beans made with white peony root, but the beans here are not as good as the meat heads from our vegetable garden."
In fact, they are all the same beans, but the little girl just misses her hometown.
Li Hui pinched her face gently and said to Cheng Xuede:
"Let's go to Shuiyunxuan. I don't have to go there so early tomorrow. I can stay one night in Shuiyunxuan and relax."
He is not stupid. When he learned the news that Xiao Qinglin and Zhou Fei left the capital quickly to take office, he knew that someone had done it deliberately. In addition, he had been busy in the staff department for the past few days, and suddenly he was told that he could leave early today and tomorrow
You can go late and say that there is nothing fishy in this, even ghosts won't believe it. Now that Pang Yao has taken the initiative to take them to Zhuangzi to stay for a while, they can't go even more.
Since someone wants to test him, and he has endured it for so many days, he must not give up all his efforts.
Cheng Xue didn't care where she went. She had to come back in three days, so going to Shuiyunxuan to pay for herself was quite practical.
"Yao Yao, it's rare that your uncle is free today, let's go to Shuiyunxuan together."
"Well, okay." Pang Yao responded with a smile.
For the person she likes, no matter what requests they make, she will obey them and have no objection.
Shuiyunxuan is the second largest hot spring resort in the capital. The fees are more reasonable than that of Yunzhuang, and the food is better than that there. There are always waiters at the door to help. When seeing the carriage approaching, they will trot up to it.
"Should I stay in a hotel as a guest? How many people are there? We can arrange it for you."
Tiandong got out of the car and negotiated with the waiter in front, while Shunxi and Shuangxi drove behind.
It’s hottest around the Dragon Boat Festival, and it’s much hotter in the mountains than in the city.
Li Tian nestled in his father's arms, frequently lifting the curtains, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Tiantian, do you want to learn to ride a horse?"
"Is it okay, Dad? I want to learn." Li Tian's face was full of joy.
She likes to be active rather than quiet, but if she is painting or doing math, she can be down-to-earth.
When Wen Tian on the side heard this, he looked at him in disbelief and said:
"Crazy? How old is she!"
"Let's learn to play. Anyway, you are here. I happen to be teaching you too."
"You?"
"No way?"
Wen Tian has been dealing with him for a long time and knows that he will not act on a whim. He has not thought about learning horse riding for so long since he went south, but now he actually wants to learn...
"You guessed something, right?"
Li Hui said nothing, but his attitude was regarded as acquiescence. Li Heng and Yan Yixin exchanged glances with each other, and they tacitly agreed to be loyal listeners and sit quietly. But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened, and the car curtain was lifted again.
Let's go, they jumped out of the car first.
Li Heng immediately went to the back, and after picking up his mother, sister, and Pang Yao, he went to look for Yan Yixin.
"Mom, it's much cooler here than at home."
"Yes, light some incense at night to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes."
"Okay mother."
Everything is fully prepared and you have everything you need, so you don’t have to worry at all...
