Huainan Road also held a grand bull-whipping ceremony, with Li Minglou and officials from the provincial government participating.
After the spring plowing began, the weather became warmer day by day, and grass sprouted on the ground. In addition to participating in the cattle whipping ceremony, Li Minglou also traveled more and more day by day.
"We have recovered Yangzhou, Huainan Road is stable, survived the cold winter, and the market is prosperous." Jiang Liang twisted his beard and said with a smile, "Three military camps are open, and there is an endless stream of people coming to apply for military service. This year must be a good year."
Observer Song looked at the street in front of the Yamen. The guards on the street were as dark as dark clouds. In the dark clouds, a gorgeous carriage drove slowly, surrounded by people on both sides.
The apricot blossoms in the hills outside the city are in bloom, and Mrs. Chu is going to enjoy the flowers.
He understood what Jiang Liang meant. Now Huainan Road can relax a little, and Madam can also have some fun. He remembered that in Dou County, Mrs. Wu gathered everyone to compete in martial arts, and caroused with bonfires and wine until dawn. Later, the city that Madam guarded became bigger and bigger.
, the situation is becoming more and more serious, and there is little fun. Madam is really wronged.
but!
The Song Observer grabbed Jiang Liang and said urgently: "It's a good thing for Madam to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the spring. Madam can enjoy herself in peace, and the people will feel more at ease, but the person sitting in the same car is not suitable!"
The spring light was bright, and the four walls of Mrs. Chu's carriage were removed and replaced with curtains. The curtains were so thick that it was difficult to see the details inside, but the figures inside could be seen to be two people.
That's not a trip between the madam and the old lady. If you take the old lady on a trip, the maid will follow you and there will be three people in the car.
At this time, there were two people sitting side by side in the car. Both were slender and voluptuous, but one was obviously taller and taller. She was not a maid, but a man...
It's not a bodyguard, Mrs. Chu's favorite bodyguard is following beside the car holding an umbrella.
"It's Mr. Lian."
"It's Young Master Lian again."
"Of course Mr. Lian, the only one who can sit next to Madam is Mr. Lian."
"If the young master is sitting next to his wife, why should she go to admire the flowers?"
"What you said is wrong. Even if the young master is sitting next to his wife, he doesn't need to enjoy the flowers."
The people on the street were buzzing, vying to watch and discussing who should be intoxicated by whom, Madam or Mr. Lian.
Song Observer's ears were buzzing: "Madam, you shouldn't be traveling with Mr. Lian."
"Then who should I go with?" Jiang Ming asked curiously.
Jiang Liang thought of it immediately, stroking his palms and saying, "It is a great honor to be able to travel with my wife. It can be used as a reward for others, such as the female relatives of those meritorious officials and families."
Madam has not interacted with the female relatives of the Huainan Dao official family until now, and she does not even have maids by her side, let alone the women's daily fun.
Playing is also social.
Yuanji shook his head: "Madam's play is just for fun, there is no need to consider these things."
The young lady is already very busy and tired, and she wants to be deprived of the fun of playing? He will never allow it.
Jiang Liang nodded immediately: "Madam, with your pure heart, you really don't need to do such a thing."
Song Wenwen, who had raised the topic, was stunned. He saw Mrs. Chu's carriage walking away on the street, and he came to his senses and stamped his feet: "I'm not talking about that! I'm saying that Madam shouldn't bring this Lian Xiaojun through the city.
"
The three people on both sides looked at him: "Why?"
"To avoid suspicion." Observer Song said a little tiredly, "My wife is married and traveling in the same car with a foreign man..."
Although this outsider lives in my wife’s house, let’s just call it home. The wife’s house is next to the Dao Yamen. It can be said to the outside world that Lian Xiaojun actually lives in the Dao Yamen.
But I can’t explain it when I’m out in public.
Jiang Ming smiled: "Mr. Song, you are overthinking. To Madam, Mr. Lian is just like the spring scenery and the apricot blossoms. The difference is nothing more than enjoying them in a car and enjoying them in a car."
Can you think of it this way? Song Observer blinked.
Jiang Liang patted him on the shoulder: "Nowadays, there are wars and the world is in a mess, but we still have the heart to look for and cherish beautiful things. This is also a noble character."
Yuanji and Jiang Ming felt that what he said was so right, and nodded one after another.
Observer Song nodded with half-understanding, then smiled bitterly after regaining consciousness: "I hope Governor Wu can also understand this kind of noble conduct."
If a wife loves beautiful scenery, loves flowers, and enjoys looking at things, her husband will think it is elegant. Is there any husband in the world who thinks that a wife who loves beautiful men, keeps flowers, and looking at things is elegant?
Jiang Liang laughed without hesitation: "Madam is an extraordinary person, and so is Governor Wu."
Yuanji and Jiang Ming smiled and said nothing.
What else could Observer Song say? He could only laugh. However, a thought came to his mind. The people close to Mrs. Chu never seemed to care about the identity of Governor Wu as her husband. So, could it be...
Governor Wu is the son-in-law of Mrs. Chu’s family!
...
...
There are no spring flowers blooming in Xiangzhou, there are no government officials, and the crowded streets are a bit desolate. But after all, life is stable. People need to eat and farm to live, so the local villagers organized the spring whipping ceremony themselves and did not dare to invite them.
Wu Ya'er, please invite Wu Ya'er's adopted sons to participate.
Not everyone can invite Wu Yaer's adopted sons.
The government office was busy with soldiers and horses coming in and out, but when they saw a thin young man approaching, everyone stopped and said hello: "Young Master Xiaowan."
Although it had been so long, Xiao Wan was still not used to the title of Young Master. He lowered his head and hummed. He didn't care whether the person who greeted him heard it or not. The person who greeted him didn't care whether he responded or not. He looked at Xiao Wan.
Went inward.
"Master Xiaowan has been visiting the Governor a lot recently." Someone was very curious and a little confused, "Is the Governor uncomfortable somewhere?"
Xiaowan is different from other adopted sons, he is a doctor.
Wu Yaer is the bones and flesh of the Zhenwu Army, so he cannot be in poor health! Someone immediately retorted: "Don't be so unlucky, Mr. Xiaowan is just getting close to the governor."
After Wu Ya'er collapsed from exhaustion while rushing to Huainan Road, Xiao Wan personally checked his wounds, boiled medicine for Wu Ya'er, and tried every means to prepare various medicinal meals. From then on, he changed his habit of not coming to Wu Ya'er's side.
Although Wu Ya'er was in good health, it was only natural for an adopted son that Xiao Wan came to see her frequently.
Everyone thinks so.
When Wang Li came in, he heard everyone saying that the eldest son and the short son were concerned about Governor Wu. He thought it was Wu Xiao who had come again, so he turned around and left. He was relieved when he heard that it was a small bowl. Although the young master of this small bowl has been asking for some recently, he often asked for some.
Meat, but instead of stuffing it all into his own stomach like Wu Xiao did, he made medicinal meals for Wu Yaer...
Wang Li walked in happily and heard Wu Ya'er talking to Xiaowan.
"Is everything really okay? Doesn't it hurt if I hit you here?"
"Xiaowan, you have already checked it."
"That was checked five days ago."
Wu Ya'er's laughter sounded in the hall: "Okay, then take a closer look."
When Wang Li heard this, he rushed in. There were only Wu Ya'er and Xiao Wan in the room. Xiao Wan was beating Wu Ya'er with a mallet...
"What are you doing?" Wang Liqi asked curiously.
Wu Ya'er said: "It's okay. Xiaowan is worried that my original injury hasn't healed yet, so I'm checking it out."
Is there anyone else who checks his body like this? Wang Li looked around and asked questions from time to time. Xiao Wan did not get disturbed and carefully finished the check: "My foster father is in good health."
Wu Yaer smiled and said hello.
Xiaowan added: "But if my adoptive father feels uncomfortable, he must tell me at any time."
Wu Yaer says hello again.
Xiao Wan put the box away and said, "I'll come back to see my adoptive father in five days."
Wang Li already knew that Wu Ya'er was fine. Hearing this, he rushed Xiaowan away impatiently: "I have something big to talk about with the governor."
Xiao Wan was not afraid of him, and said, "It's a big deal for me to check on my adoptive father's body."
Wang Li yelled, and this silent boy dared to refute him.
Wu Ya'er did not scold Xiao Wan, but said with a smile in his eyes: "Xiao Wan, go ahead. I'll wait for you in five days."
Xiao Wan then left, and Wang Li shook his head: "You are too doting on these children. One or two of them come close to you. Who knows who they are thinking about."
Wu Ya'er smiled and said: "Of course they are thinking of Mrs. Chu."
He made everything clear, and Wang Li had nothing to say, and solemnly said: "Don't talk nonsense to me, I have something important to say."
Is it really a big deal? Wu Ya'er sat back on his chair and asked, "What's the big deal?"
Wang Lidao: "I caught a goods dealer."
Wu Ya'er asked: "A spy? Just kill him..."
It's not surprising that there are rebel spies in Xiangzhou. They also send spies to the places where the rebels are. Now is not the time when the war just breaks out. People need to live. The rebels also need to defend the city, they also need people, and they even need prosperous merchants in the market.
Selling... spies are operating more easily than before.
After asking this question, Wu Ya'er paused and added another sentence.
"Where did the spy come from?"
The spies are not only from the rebels, but the guards from all over the country are also snooping on each other's information. Recently, there are also those in the imperial court...
After asking this question, he continued.
"Just kill him."
The passage was short and sounded repetitive, but Wang Li understood the important meaning conveyed in it. First of all, the imperial court's attitude toward Xiangzhou and Zhenwu's army was different from that of Wu Ya'er before, and they would even send spies to spy. Furthermore, Wu Ya'er was not interested in this kind of spying.
Don't be afraid. No matter where he is, he is a spy. It's the same as a spy from the imperial court or a rebel. If you don't reveal your identity, you will kill him if you catch him.
Wang Li responded yes, and then said: "He's not a spy, he's just a dealer. Do you know what he is selling?"
Not a spy? Wang Li can still play riddles with him, so it’s not a big deal. Wu Yaer’s murderous aura dissipated and asked: “What are you selling?”
Wang Li said solemnly: "Brocade."
Wu Ya'er smiled: "This is a good thing."
People will only think about food and clothing when they no longer worry about life and death. Now there is a demand for fabrics and brocades in places like Xiangzhou, which shows that people's lives are getting better.
Wang Li was still sullen as he looked at Wu Ya'er and said word by word: "The most expensive fabric he sells is worn by Mrs. Chu's favorite man."
