The girl in Huaichun tossed and turned, laughed suddenly while eating, smiled suddenly while reading documents in the government office, smiled while watching the wind blowing the fallen leaves, smiled at the increasingly cold north wind...
It wasn't until the third day that Li Minghua sat down and picked up a pen to write a letter.
"Miss, are you going to write a letter to Mrs. Chu?" The maids gathered around to spread paper and grind ink. Someone brought dried osmanthus flowers. "Miss, it will be very fragrant if you put it in the letter."
Li Minghua took the sweet-scented osmanthus and smiled: "I am not writing a letter to Mrs. Chu, but to Mingyu, but flowers can also be used."
The maids were surprised that they were not writing a letter to Mrs. Chu after tossing and turning for so long.
Li Minghua said: "There is nothing to write a letter to. Mrs. Chu is so busy, how can I disturb her."
To become a person who can keep company with Mrs. Chu, you can learn a lot just by watching how Mrs. Chu does things.
Of course, when you encounter someone you don’t understand, you still have to write to Mrs. Chu. You also have to write a letter every month to talk about what you have done, just like a close friend would do...
Thinking of this, Li Minghua smiled again.
In the past, she was too lazy to make close friends. Like Li Mingqi, she had a lot of friends. Partying was more about food and clothing, and writing letters was about boring daily life.
She thought she would never have any friends in this life.
I didn't expect to have a friend in this troubled world.
The maids looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Although the young lady said she would not write to Mrs. Chu, she was still thinking of her.
...
...
Li Mingyu received more official documents, and they were all sent to him first, and then he pretended to look at a few casually and then forwarded them to Han Xu.
But now it's not that "relaxing". Han Xu will let him watch more and intentionally teach him how to handle official duties.
Now that Zhang An and Wang Lin have entered Linzhou, Han Xu simply merged the three Shannan roads into one, and the three yamen became one. In addition, there are also affairs in Jiannan Road, so he is busy every day without touching the ground.
"The Governor is turning one year older again, and it's time to learn something," he said.
The clerk of Shannan Daoya who recognized the new master reminded Han Xu: "The more things the governor learns, the more disadvantageous it will be to the adults."
Isn't it good to be a cheerful little governor who doesn't know anything? This is obviously the idea of these people in Jiannan Road, so they don't send anyone to teach him.
Han Xu shook his head: "It is not an advantage to not understand. If you don't understand, you will be more easily deceived. I will teach him and let him know the procedures of the yamen, the order of official documents, and the priorities of things. In the future, if I want to do something, it will be easier to convince him, so as not to worry about it."
He doesn’t understand anything and has been deceived by the people from Jiannan Road.”
It turns out that this is the case. The literary official praised: "You are still awesome."
Han Xu glanced at him: "It's not me that's great, it's the world's righteousness that's great."
The upright spirit is not afraid of demons and monsters.
Seeing him like this, the little people in Jiannan Road, who felt guilty, were afraid that Li Mingyu would be captured by him, so they also began to teach Li Mingyu how to train soldiers.
Barracks were set up in Jiannan Road and Shannan Road to recruit soldiers. Although he was reluctant, Han Xu followed the example of Mrs. Chu in Huainan Road and set up rules to treat soldiers and their families favorably in order to gather new recruits.
Li Mingyu's interrupted martial arts studies started again, and he went to the military camp every day to train with the newly recruited soldiers.
But training is not about practicing martial arts, it is about getting familiar with arranging troops and learning how to march and fight.
Despite this, the damselfly pulled up Li Mingyu's sleeve to look at his arm, blew on it with her little mouth, and said, "It's all turned black."
Li Mingyu raised his arms and slid his sleeves down to his shoulders: "It's still strong, I can swing the sword now." He also felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I can't draw it for my sister to see."
He hadn't seen his sister for a long time. He didn't know if her sister was injured this time.
As Mrs. Chu's reputation grew, Jiannan Dao became more cautious in her dealings with Li Minglou.
The damselfly also had a look of regret on her face. She put her head on her hands and looked at the table. When she saw the letter spread out on it, she sniffed it and said, "Who wrote this? It smells so good."
Li Mingyu said: "Sister Minghua wrote it, saying that she had written to her and she was so happy."
The damselfly thought of something and sat up straight: "Has Mr. Han written a letter to the eldest lady?"
Li Mingyu nodded: "I wrote it."
The news about Li Minglou was sent as soon as possible after he was in danger, so as to prevent him from worrying. Li Minglou wrote a letter in his own hand telling him that war is so ruthless, everyone will be in danger, and no one knows when the danger will come, so he should not
I impulsively ran to see her.
This letter was concealed by giving official documents to Shannan Province, and then Han Xu also asked Shannan Province officials to write a letter.
The damselfly waved her hand: "No, no, I mean the letter Mr. Han himself wrote to Miss." Pointing to Li Minghua's letter on the table, "Just like Miss Minghua writing a letter to Miss, it is private, not in the name of the government.
."
Li Mingyu shook his head: "I don't know, but no letters from my sister have been sent here recently."
The damselfly put her hands on her hips: "That must have not been written. Otherwise, if the young lady likes Mr. Han so much, she would definitely reply immediately."
It makes sense, Li Mingyu nodded.
The damselfly frowned: "That's not possible. Such a big thing happened. How could he not care about the young lady? The young lady must be so unhappy."
Yes, Li Mingyu nodded again. It's very sad that the person you like doesn't care about you.
The damselfly touched his shoulder and whispered: "We can ask Han Xu to draw a portrait and give it to the eldest lady. If the young master stands behind Han Xu, the eldest lady can see it."
What a great idea! Li Mingyu's eyes suddenly lit up. He called out the name of a follower, and the follower ran in. His eyes were bright, he was thin and alert.
"Captain, what are your orders?" he asked.
Li Mingyu's face was calm and her voice was steady: "I want Han Xu to know that we are very concerned about why Mrs. Chu didn't reply to him and whether he was abandoned by Mrs. Chu."
The attendant leaned forward and answered yes.
...
...
Han Xu has been doing well recently. Zhang An and Wang Lin successfully arrived in Linzhou and were recommended to His Majesty by Cui Zheng. They have now begun to lead troops.
Mrs. Chu was in danger but saved the day, and killed An Shouzhong. Huainan Road continued to be stable, and Shannan Road, Jiangnan Road, and Jiannan Road were all less troubled.
Han Xu had been reading documents for the past few days, with a rare expression of relaxation on his face, until he noticed someone poking their head outside the hall. He raised his head and saw that those people had disappeared again.
"What are these people doing sneakily?" Han Xu asked with a frown.
Zhongli came in with the meal and said, "I seem to be asking about Mrs. Chu's reply to your Excellency."
Han Xu's brows knitted into knots: "Why did Mrs. Chu write to me? Why are you asking about this?"
Zhongli shook his head: "I don't know."
Zhongli is a knight-errant, and his temperament has not changed. Now he only follows Han Xu to take care of his safety, or do some spying on military trends. He never pays attention to or pays attention to the gossip and personnel dealings in the government office.
So Han Xu believed his words very much, believed him when he said someone was snooping, and believed when he said he didn't know why.
For more detailed information, he had to ask someone who was more knowledgeable. Han Xu called a clerk.
"Ah, sir, I was just about to tell you that someone ransacked your study." The clerk came in and shouted.
In Shannan Road, no one but the people from Jiannan Road dares to do this.
"That's too much." The clerk lowered his voice, "They said they were looking for a reply from Mrs. Chu. It's really baffling. How can such a letter be read at will?"
Han Xu looked at him and said: "The letters written by Mrs. Chu and me are all about Huainan Road and Jiangnan Road. They are not shameful."
The civil servant sighed in his heart and responded: "I mean, they disrespect you so much, sir, they even said anything. Mrs. Chu has made great achievements again, and they don't look down on you...
It’s just nonsense, no, I mean, you are an official of the imperial court, why do you need Mrs. Chu to take a fancy to you."
Han Xu endured the official's vulgar words and understood in his heart that he was an official of the imperial court, and he seemed to be in charge of Shannan Road and Jiannan Road, but these were all appearances.
It's just cooperation, and the basis for cooperation is interest and balance of power...
He drove away Zhang An and Wang Lin. It can be said that Shannan Road fell into the hands of Jiannan Road. The benefits were already in hand, and the people of Jiannan Road wanted to kick him away.
At this time, the only thing Jiannan Dao was afraid of was his relationship with Mrs. Chu.
Han Xu looked at the desk. He had kept all the letters that Mrs. Chu had written to him close to his body. He was also wary of Jiannan Road and would not let them find it. As for the recent reply, they could not find it either.
Because Mrs. Chu Guo didn’t reply to him.
He didn't write to Mrs. Chu, so why did he reply?
He was not interested or wanted to write to Mrs. Chu. It was enough to send greetings in the name of Shannan Dao. He didn't want to provoke this crazy woman... Thinking of the last letter from the woman, his chest felt hot.
.
The letter was hidden on his chest.
He didn't want to hide another one.
People in Jiannan Road actually became suspicious, suspecting that the relationship between him and Mrs. Chu was not as rumored...
When encountering such a big danger, you should write a letter to greet someone you have a close relationship with, or even care about in your heart, or even run there in person, just to make sure your loved one is safe... Han Xu
Shivering, I was disgusted by myself.
"Master Han, what are you doing?"
A child's voice came from outside.
Han Xu calmed down and looked over, grabbing a pen next to him: "Nothing, why is Governor Li here?"
Li Mingyu walked in, followed by Osmanthus fragrans and two men with gray beards.
"Let me see what your Excellency is doing," he said. "Are you writing a letter?"
He couldn't find it, so he asked directly because of his young age. Han Xu looked calm, neither denying nor admitting: "Have you read the Governor's official document today?"
Li Mingyu stuck out his tongue: "I've finished reading." He straightened his back and stood behind Han Xu, speaking to the people who followed him, "Draw a scene of my office."
Painting? Han Xu was puzzled and his eyes fell on the people who followed him. Li Mingyu introduced to him: "This is the painter. My third uncle is worried about me and my grandmother and said he is worried that we will not have enough food and housing, so I will find a painter."
Draw us and let Third Uncle see that we are all fine."
Han Xu groaned and saw the two painters staring at him...
Li Mingyu stood behind him and assumed a majestic posture: "Paint Mr. Han together."
Han Xu said: "What do you want me to draw?"
The painters only heard Li Mingyu's words, responded yes, and laid out drawing papers in the room.
"How about I handle official business with Mr. Han?"
"I'm sitting here, Mr. Han, you don't have to worry about me, just write your letter."
"I have done very well under Master Han's guidance. Third uncle doesn't have to worry after seeing it."
Hearing the last sentence, Han Xu took back what he was about to say. He was not afraid of Mr. Li San, but arguing with such a person consumes energy.
This child is a tool, it is best to use him.
"Learning is not like painting." Han Xu said.
Li Mingyu sat down next to Han Xu, and two clerks brought the documents and put them down.
"I'm not just showing off." He said seriously, straightening his back and picking up a document to read.
The painters wrote hard and fast.
...
...
In the painting, the hall in early winter is bright and warm. The desk is filled with documents and ink. There are a large and a small sitting side by side. The little man frowns slightly and concentrates on the document in his hand. The adult tilts his body slightly and reaches out to point on it.
Serious and patient.
The elder is wearing a dark official robe, with a slender face and graceful grace. The little one is wearing a flowery robe, carved with pink and jade, and is elegant.
"It's so beautiful." Jiang Liang sighed while twirling his beard, his eyes hovering over Han Xu. She is indeed a beauty.
Li Minglou nodded: "Yes, it's really beautiful."
Her eyes were on Li Mingyu, whom she hadn't seen for almost two years. He had grown taller and his eyebrows had grown wider, but he was no stranger to him. He looked more and more like the young man who happily came to send her off for marriage.
"Master Han sent this painting to teach the little governor of Jiannan Dao, and asked his wife to learn like this child." Yuan Ji looked at the letter and said, "Children are weak, but they are vigilant and active in learning. Adults are often arrogant.
Forget these two things."
Liu Fandao: "Is he trying to teach Madam that she is underestimating the enemy in this danger?"
"What does this have to do with underestimating the enemy? Liang Zhen is also underestimating the enemy." Fang Er said.
What they said was wrong. Jiang Liang was twirling his beard on the side. What kind of picture is there to teach the little governor? The little governor is so small in the painting, and Han Xu occupies such a large area, and he also poses in such a dignified and attractive posture...
The sermons in Han Xu's letter were all superficial, and every word and every sentence screamed, Madam Chu, I care about you, please reply to me quickly.
After this time of danger, Shannan Dao also sent condolences, but in the official name, Mrs. Chu also responded in the official name, and did not write a separate letter to Han Xu... I must be angry.
Man, at this time, you still don’t even ask for help.
Seeing no reply, Han Xu couldn't help it anymore.
Men have this bad habit, so they have to play hard to get with them, get close yet distant, let them see that they can catch and lose at any time...Jiang Liang's body and mind became hot, and he was gearing up.
"Madam, please write a reply to Mr. Han." he said.
Li Minglou looked at him and said, "Okay," and called the painter: "I will also draw a picture of serious and humble study, so that Mr. Han can feel at ease."
Her eyes fell on the painting and she smiled sweetly.
Jiang Liang pulled off his beard and understood! Don't worry, he will definitely make Master Han feel at ease!
