Han Xu raised his head and saw Li Mingyu looking out the window. The boy stood among the flowers and green willows, looking like a painting.
"Why don't you come in and talk?" Han Xu said.
Li Mingyu smiled and said, "My lord is busy, so I don't dare to disturb you."
If you really don't dare to disturb, you shouldn't be here, but for children, this kind of hypocrisy is also a kind of undisguised innocence.
The child's words are concealed and his gestures are not concealed. Adults can see through it at a glance. Once seen through, it is refreshing and cute. It is more pleasant than Zhang An and Wang Lin's coquettish behavior of trying their best to hide whatever they want under clothes.
A smile appeared on Han Xu's calm face: "What do you want, Governor?"
Li Mingyu became even happier and took a few steps under the window: "Sir, my uncle asked me to..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman behind him coughed lightly: "Sir, go in and talk."
Li Mingyu stuck out his tongue, jumped over the pebbles, and walked in from the main entrance.
Han Xu glanced at the woman. The woman's eyes were fixed on him and she lowered her eyes and followed Li Mingyu in.
So what if he was standing under the window talking? He, Han Xu, was not a rigid and disciplined person. This woman just wanted to come in and look at him.
He has seen this kind of thing a lot. For example, when he used to meet his colleagues, he could just talk briefly in the study. The colleague's wife insisted on bringing her whole family to the meeting. After the meeting, she had to stay for dinner and called her uncle, uncle, and brother's house.
People, regardless of gender, can squeeze into a hall and a seat...
"Sir, my third uncle has sent someone here." Li Mingyu stepped forward and continued, "I want to pick up my grandmother and the others."
Han Xu said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll talk to your third uncle."
Li Mingyu groaned and turned to look at the woman standing behind him, as if waiting for her instructions.
The woman looked at Han Xu and said, "Sir, that's the governor's family. It's up to you to decide whether it's appropriate."
She no longer stood behind and peeped at him, and started talking to him directly. The woman's appetite grew like this step by step. Han Xu didn't look at her: "The Governor is now an important minister of the court. His affairs are not just private matters, his
The fate of your family members is closely related to the general situation of the war, why can’t I decide?”
Osmanthus glanced at him: "Sir, the governor can't even make the decision in family affairs, how can he save his face in Jiannan Road?"
Han Xu said lightly: "The governor's face is not earned from family affairs. The governor's face comes from his military exploits and counterinsurgency." He looked at Li Mingyu and said, "Captain Li, please conquer the world like your father did, so that your majesty can fight with you.
Let's sit together all night long and talk about world affairs."
Being like his father is a child's biggest wish, especially since his father has passed away. Li Mingyu's eyes sparkled and he shouted: "Okay!"
Han Xu pointed at the map: "More troops and horses must be sent to Jiangnan Road. The troops and horses of Jiannan Road must become a flexible and fierce arrow. Wherever there are rebels and requests, go wherever they are and let the governor
The reputation spreads far and wide.”
Li Mingyu nodded and pointed here and there: "...There are rebels on Southeast Road, there are rebels on Huainan Road, there are rebels on Xuanwu Road, the capital..."
With a childlike voice and high ambitions, Han Xu did not correct him but only encouraged him with a smile.
The woman stood behind Li Mingyu and looked at Han Xu.
Han Xu let her watch, what else could she do besides watch?
"My lord," Gui Hua said, "This matter is not trivial. I'd better invite the generals to discuss it with your lord."
Did she invite the generals? And then persuade the generals through her? Does she need to talk to her more, or even be alone with her? After entering the door, Han Xu looked at Osmanthus fragrans for the first time, his eyes seeing everything.
"This matter is not discussed by us in Jiannan Road, but by Madam Chu of Huainan Road." He looked at the woman, "I have already negotiated with Madam Chu of Huainan Road to work together to protect Jiangnan Road. How dare Huainan Road do this?"
Doesn’t Jiannan Dao dare to do something like this? What Mrs. Chu can do, can’t Governor Li do?”
The competitive child jumped to his feet and shouted: "Yes."
Osmanthus stopped talking and looked at Han Xu fiercely with mixed emotions.
He and Mrs. Chu have already discussed it, do you still dare to threaten her? You can only be angry, helpless, melancholy, jealous and sad... Han Xu never paid attention to the woman's emotions. If he really wanted to pay attention, he wouldn't have only
A widow brought trouble to the emperor, and women must be ignored.
Han Xu reached out and patted Li Mingyu on the shoulder: "The little governor has great ambitions."
Li Mingyu looked up at him: "Master Han, you have to stay in Jiannan Road to see my great ambitions with your own eyes. They said you want to go with Mrs. Chu..."
These words have reached the ears of this child? How outrageous! Han Xu interrupted: "I have the imperial order to supervise Jiannan Road, so of course I won't go anywhere."
He held Li Mingyu's hand and shook it, his voice soft and solemn: "I must help the young governor achieve his great ambition."
Li Mingyu smiled happily, looking at Han Xu as if looking at a rare treasure.
"I will build a golden house for you," he said.
Han Xu laughed: "That's not how this code is used."
The boy said it was nothing, childish and cute, as long as the woman didn't say it, Han Xu glanced at Osmanthus fragrans from the corner of his eye.
Osmanthus looked away and stared at him.
"Master Han is an official of Jiannan Road. He cannot leave without the emperor's order." She said softly to Li Mingyu, "Don't worry, Governor, let's go back first."
She was reminding him that Mrs. Chu was not the emperor's order, so there was no need to be afraid. Because she seemed to be happy when she heard that she would stay in Jiannan Road, Han Xu still ignored it and refused to refute...
.He hoped that Jiannan Road would make Mrs. Chu realize this.
The two parties restrained and feared each other, like snipes and clams fighting each other, but he, a fisherman, would make them cooperate with each other, put down rebellions, protect the people, bring order to chaos, and maintain stability in Daxia.
After sending away Li Mingyu and the woman who never left him, Han Xu already knew that the woman was not a wet nurse, but the housekeeper in charge of Li Fengan's inner house. It could be said that he held half of Jiannan Road in his hand.
Women in troubled times are even more powerful than those in peaceful times. Not only do they have money and power, but they also have soldiers, horses and weapons. If they are attracted by them, they will no longer cry and beg to the emperor. They can kill him themselves.
.. Han Xu didn’t want to think about it anymore, and he was fearless. In the peaceful and prosperous times, he did not retreat from the world and resign because of these thorns, let alone in the troubled times.
His mind is as hard as a rock, his body is as pliable as pampas grass, he is able to bend and stretch, and is not afraid of rumors and gossip.
However, he should not let them push their limits too much, let them know that there are some things that he does not care about, but it should be done in moderation.
Before Han Xu returned to his writing desk, he picked up his pen and continued to write to Mrs. Chu.
"...I will send enough reinforcements to Jiangnan Road. You should take back the troops and horses from Huainan Road immediately and stop acting recklessly..."
...
...
Seeing Li Mingyu and Guihua walking out, the old man cracked his whip and laughed.
"Little sweet-scented osmanthus is not happy to see Master Mei."
Osmanthus fragrans was serious, neither anxious nor angry, she only glanced at the old manager.
Nowadays, there are rumors about Han Xu. In addition to the admiration of Mrs. Chu, the nanny of the little governor of Jiannan Road is also secretly interested in him.
The old man's entourage glared: "Grandpa, don't make such a joke, the governor is here."
The old manager chuckled: "Just smile." Nian Xu looked at Li Mingyu with a respectful and kind expression, "Words in this world don't exist if you can't hear them. Our governor can listen to anything and dare to listen."
Li Mingyu smiled at him and climbed into the car without saying he understood or didn't understand.
The old man looked at Osmanthus fragrans again and couldn't help but laugh: "How come you look like you've made a secret promise?"
Guihua had already gotten into the car and glared at him this time.
The old man laughed and flicked his whip, forcing the horse to move forward: "No more, no more, little sweet-scented osmanthus is too shy."
Osmanthus ignored him, and while sitting in front of the car, she turned around and saw the girl Damniang handing snacks to Li Mingyu, and reminded: "Wipe your hands first."
The damselfly responded, feeding the snacks to Li Mingyu, and then wiping his hands.
Guihua withdrew her gaze and stopped caring about the two children in the car.
"What do you think?" the old man asked.
Guihua said: "It's okay. He said what he should say and what shouldn't be said. We don't need to say it."
The old manager laughed again: "This guy is really interesting." He bumped Guihua with his elbow and winked, "Little Guihua, don't you think he is good-looking and interesting? Everyone agrees, so do you."
Osmanthus showed no expression: "It's not funny."
The old manager continued to laugh and said: "It is better for you to be laughed at than for the eldest lady to be laughed at."
Guihua understood what he meant, because she felt the same way, so she allowed such rumors to spread, but she didn't know what the eldest lady meant.
The two of them were talking outside the car, and the damselfly inside the car listened with open ears. Children also like to listen to adults talking, although some of them are difficult to understand.
"Little Master, do you understand what they are saying?" she asked Li Mingyu in a low voice.
Li Mingyu held a piece of snack in both hands and ate it carefully. Hearing this, he nodded: "I understand, they are talking about my sister liking Han Xu."
The damselfly said: "Isn't this very difficult? I heard that once you get married, you can't like other men."
The eldest lady is already married, so everyone is in a dilemma.
The smile on Li Mingyu's face was as sweet as the snacks in her hand: "There's nothing difficult about it. If my sister likes anyone, I can help her keep it."
If my sister wants someone, send it to him. If it's inconvenient, just hide it with him. This way it has nothing to do with her.
The damselfly nodded with satisfaction and clapped her little palms: "That's no problem."
