Chapter 361 In troubled times, beauty is the companion
Li Minghua knew that the government offices had many documents, but he didn't know that there were so many.
"There weren't so many before." Magistrate Hu said with a smile. He picked up some documents about people's livelihood arrangements for autumn harvest and winter arrangements that he had just read and handed them to Li Minghua. He sighed, "In the peaceful and prosperous times, everything was done in a certain way. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, even the day after tomorrow.
You can tell what happened last year with your eyes closed, but things are different now."
Now there are new changes every moment. Some cities are recovered, some are lost, some generals die in battle, and some generals rebel. When I wake up every day, I feel like I don't know the world.
"For example, the incident involving Mrs. Chu, I originally thought it was an ordinary victory." Magistrate Hu said, but as news continued to come, "I realized that the process was so dangerous, and it was actually related to the distant victory of Fan Yang."
Li Minghua nodded, feeling frightened at the thought of this matter. He looked at the document handed over by Magistrate Hu and waved his hand: "It's fine, sir, as long as you read it. I won't read these daily affairs."
She watched the military trends in Jiannan Road, Shannan Road and other places. Because she held the military talisman given by Jiannan Road, she was sharing Mingyu's worries for Jiannan Road.
There is no need to deal with people's livelihood matters in Jiangling Mansion. After all, she is not a court official.
Magistrate Hu shook his head: "Military affairs are related to many things. If you want to master the military defense of a place, you must know all the things in the place, even the changes in weather, the flow of rivers, the ups and downs of mountains and rivers, not to mention the people's livelihood. Only by knowing these can you understand better.
Jiangnan Road, you can talk to General Jiwei and others without stage fright, and you can explain the situation here more clearly to Commander Li."
Magistrate Hu gave another example.
"For example, Mrs. Chu, she knows more than just the movements of soldiers and horses. It can even be said that she pays more attention to people's livelihood than the military. From the earliest days, she has been in charge of people's food, drink, housing and transportation, giving food and shelter to refugees, maintaining the prosperity of the city, and even
He also lent soldiers and horses to merchants as guards."
"Why did she do this? There is too much money and no place to spend it? There are too many soldiers and there is no place to use it? It's because the people are the source of the army."
"Of course this is also because Mrs. Chu is kind."
The last sentence is just a scene statement. There is no mercy in the world without reason and desire. Gods still want incense.
Li Minghua listened attentively, stood up and took it solemnly with both hands: "Thank you, sir, for your guidance."
Magistrate Hu was not polite and accepted her courtesy calmly. He said sincerely: "Nowadays, the world is different. Your uncle is not here. You juniors are no longer children. When father and son go into battle, sisters and brothers are all capable."
Helpful."
Li Minghua nodded again: "I remember."
The two were chatting happily in the hall. The clerks on both sides were busy in an orderly manner, and some soldiers jumped in.
"Miss Minghua, this is a letter from our Lady of Chu." He waved his hand and shouted.
The four characters Mrs. Chu made everyone in the hall look over in surprise.
"What's wrong with Huainan Road?" Magistrate Hu asked, standing up and taking it with both hands.
Xiaobing waved the letter over his head: "It's for Miss Minghua."
This attitude! However, the people in the hall are used to it. This soldier said that our Lady of Chu is obviously the disobedient Chu army.
Li Minghua stopped him and explained to Magistrate Hu and others: "I wrote a letter to Mrs. Chu before, not in the name of Jiangling Mansion, but in my own name." He smiled shyly, "I just expressed it.
Thanks and admiration, I didn’t expect that she would write me a reply.”
Magistrate Hu understood and said with a smile: "Well done, you and Mrs. Chu are both women. In addition to having official interactions with the government, you can also interact with each other in the boudoir. This is a good thing for you and us in Jiangnan Province. Miss Minghua, you
Go quickly."
Li Minghua was not polite and couldn't hide his excitement and joy. He couldn't wait to read Mrs. Chu's reply to her, so he said goodbye and left.
Magistrate Hu pointed at the documents on the desk: "Arrange the documents that Miss Minghua has not read and send them to the Li Mansion later."
The hall was filled with officials from the prefect's yamen. Chu Jun followed Li Minghua and everyone spoke more casually.
"Sir, you really teach Miss Minghua." An official said, lowering his voice, "She is a little girl, how can she really want to interfere in important affairs of the government?"
Magistrate Hu smiled.
"It's to teach her, but it's not for her." He said, "In the war in troubled times, there are swords and guns everywhere. There are not enough fathers, sons and brothers in the family, so women have to be used. She is just a bridge to facilitate us and her.
The men of the family come and go.”
The officials laughed and said, "I thought you were going to teach a Chu lady in our Jiangnan Taoism."
"It would be nice to have a Chu State Lady in our Jiangnan Province." Magistrate Hu smiled and shook his head, "But not everyone can become a Chu State Lady."
First of all, Li Mingyu is not Wu Ya'er. It would be almost the same if Li Fengan were here. Furthermore, Mrs. Chu does not rely solely on her husband.
However, whether it is Miss Minghua of the Li family or Mrs. Chu of the Wu family, after the troubled times are settled, they will still have to return to the inner house to be wives, daughters and sisters.
Therefore, there is no need to pay too much attention to these women.
These officials don't care about women, but women care a lot about women's letters.
Li Minghua has read Mrs. Chu Guo's letter twice. His face is flushed, his eyes are bright, and he is excited and happy.
"What did Mrs. Chu Guo say?" The maids beside her were curious and confused, which made the familiar Miss Minghua look different.
Although he had read it twice, Li Minghua still seemed unable to remember the content of the letter. When he heard the question, he read the letter again and smiled in his eyes: "She is praising me."
The maid was even more puzzled. Didn't Miss Minghua receive enough compliments now? It can be said that she lives in compliments every day. These compliments come from officers and soldiers, with words, actions and eyes. They are true and without false feelings.
pretend.
How could Miss Minghua remain calm in the face of these compliments, yet be so excited by being praised by Mrs. Chu? Is it because Mrs. Chu is a woman?
But they still remember that Miss Minghua never cared about women's praise, unlike Miss Mingqi, who always took pleasure in being praised by women of all ages at home and abroad.
"The words she praised me were very nice." Li Minghua said, reading the letter again, "it spoke to my heart."
It's not too gorgeous or exaggerated. It's just like an oriole chirping, sweet and graceful. When I hear it, I can't control the joy. It's like boiling spring water, like a cat's paw scratching my heart. I want to laugh but want to hold back.
With his heart pounding, Li Minghua had to hold the letter to his heart.
Mrs. Chu knew about her and praised her as a rare girl in the world. The so-called rare is because she is not like the girls in the world, but dares to do things that others dare not do.
After hearing her story, it was like seeing herself in the mirror.
Although they had never met before, she was as familiar with her as if they had met her in a previous life.
She was really happy to receive her letter.
Li Minghua picked up the letter and looked down: "Compared with what I said about her, I look like Mrs. Chu."
The letters she wrote were formal and boring, making her seem like a fake person by comparison.
Mrs. Chu praised her not just in her words, but in her spirit between the lines, which was lively, lively and interesting. She seemed to see her reaching out to her: "You and I are companions in the world of mortals, and you will never be lonely in troubled times."
Li Minghua couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled again, pressed the letter to his heart, walked around the room, and returned to the desk with his skirt flying.
She can be Mrs. Chu's companion. In Mrs. Chu's eyes, she and she are the same person.
Li Minghua stood firm while holding on to the table, her eyes bright and firm. She wanted to become someone like Mrs. Chu, and she wanted to be able to stand side by side with her.
The maids looked at each other, did Mrs. Chu really just reply to the miss? Why did the miss look like a girl in love after reading the letter?
