That day, Ning Yuan failed to pick up the letter several times because he didn't recite enough. He drank glass after glass of wine and kissed Li Xingchen while he was drunk. It was as if Lechang was now determined to guard against this matter and not give this little girl another chance.
Seeing Li Xingchen's expression, Lechang sighed softly: "Husband, although Ning'er is not too young, although my father has doted on her since she was a child, after all, my father is busy every day and cannot spare so much time.
Come and accompany her. This girl has been able to grow up safely until now. I am already thankful to God. Now that she is in the hands of my husband, I will let her be a happy child for a few more days."
Li Xingchen touched his nose in embarrassment: "I'm not a lecherous person. How could I drag a woman over to have sexual relations with her? I'll listen to you on this matter."
"Oh?" Lechang asked, looking up and down at Li Xingchen who was sitting upright.
I seem to believe everything you said.
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.
The foundation of the country lies in farming.
Especially for an agricultural nation, facing the loess and turning the back to the genius is a life accepted by most people. Their stomachs are not full, so the rest is out of the question.
Before the New Year, preparations for spring plowing had already begun. After all, the Han Dynasty had grown from scratch in the past year. With a floating population and huge land, how to allocate officials and a small number of young and middle-aged people was a difficult problem.
, so the imperial court could only prepare as early as possible. Precisely because he saw the imperial court's helplessness at this point, Yang Su simply suggested postponing the large-scale northward march for at least a year to relieve the itch and at least give the imperial court a breather.
Opportunity.
Otherwise, the entire imperial court is not filled with young and energetic young men. If the older generation of officials continue to work like this, there will be problems.
According to regulations, as the emperor, Li Xinchen was required to preside over the spring plowing ceremony to encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees. Li Xinchen had always implemented this matter very well. He personally went to the fields to cultivate the seeds last year. After the seeds were sown, people's hearts were already filled with enthusiasm.
After a wave of harsh harvest, Yu Wenxian followed suit. Of course, letting Yuwen do it was naturally a bit reluctant. Yuwen, who wanted to die on Feng Xiaolian's belly, would not consider stepping on the cold mud.
The one walking forward holding on to the plow.
This year, Li Xinchen originally planned to go to Huainan to inspect the farming situation, so Huang Qi, who was responsible for planning the itinerary, simply suggested that Li Xinchen combine the two into one. Li Xinchen was naturally happy with this, so this year Li Xinchen will hold a spring plowing ceremony in Guangling, the center of Huainan, which can be regarded as a tribute to Li Xinchen.
The imperial court’s new Huainan reclamation policy endorsement.
Not long after the Lantern Festival, Li Xingchen boarded a boat from Yanziji and sailed down the river directly to Guazhou Ferry. The time for spring plowing was approaching, so naturally it couldn't be too late.
On the big five-toothed ship of the Han Dynasty, the flag waved in the river wind.
And Li Xingchen was holding a copy of "The Book of Shang Jun" and was reading it with gusto. At the beginning of the new year, there were not so many things going on. The state capitals everywhere were busy dealing with the backlog of work during the New Year. Even if there were any new problems, they would not be like this.
The report was submitted early, which also gave Li Xingchen a rare opportunity to read. After all, he was almost overwhelmed by the accumulation of memorials every day, so how could he have such leisure and leisure.
Especially last year, the Han Dynasty traveled from east to west, and then from south to north, almost without stopping. Naturally, all kinds of things happened one after another. Especially many officials were new to their posts. They had no experience and dared not jump to conclusions, so they just Let Li Xingchen make a decision.
Thinking that he had been guarding several beautiful wives for so long and never had the chance to cherish them for a few days, Li Xingchen wanted to cry. He even envied Comrade Yuwen. At least this comrade could still drink and have fun every day. You know, even Chen Shubao I have to correct the memorial even if I have a beautiful woman in my arms.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to rest." A woman knelt beside Li Xingchen, slightly blocking the candlelight. It was Shen Wuhua who was brought out by Li Xingchen this time.
Compared with the first time she met Li Xinchen, this time she changed into the service of a female official and appeared more neutral. However, "people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles" obviously does not apply to such a beautiful woman, even if she is so simple. Even though she was dressed in such a beautiful outfit, Li Xingchen still felt a move in his heart when he caught sight of her.
Of course, it is not that Li Xingchen has never seen the stunning beauties of this era. Whether it is Lechang and Ningyuan, or Yuchi Chifan and Xiao Xiang, how can anyone who can leave their name in history be an ordinary beauty? Not to mention Zhang Lihua This famous "beauties are a disaster" is...
However, perhaps out of sympathy, or perhaps because he was attracted by her aloof temperament, Li Xingchen admitted that it was inevitable that he would be moved.
Perhaps this is the saying that what is not available is the best.
"It's still early." Li Xingchen laughed. Although there is an extreme lack of timekeeping tools in this era, he still knows the approximate time. The moon outside has just risen and has not yet reached the zenith. In the future, it will be eight or nine in the evening. It looks like o'clock.
Shen Wuhua hesitated to speak. After all, she was born in a wealthy family like the Shen family. She had never done anything to serve others since she was a child, so for a moment she didn't know what she should say and could only lower her head slightly.
And Li Xingchen realized that she should have a very regular work and rest time on weekdays, especially because the work and rest habits of the ancients were different from those of later generations. Because lighting appliances such as candles and oil lamps were precious, the ancients wanted to reduce the time spent in the dark. Basically, they go to bed very early, and of course they wake up early. For example, when going to court, ministers who are farther away will have to get up at three o'clock to change clothes, and they will gather at the palace gate after five o'clock to wait. towards.
In contrast, every time Li Xingchen corrected a memorial, he actually had to postpone it until Hai hour or even midnight every day, that is, around 11 o'clock in later generations, before going to bed. In this era, he was definitely staying up late to cultivate immortality.
"If you are tired, go to sleep first." Li Xingchen said with a smile.
Shen Wuhua was now the meat of his mouth. This time Li Xingchen drove Jian Cong to Huainan, and the woman beside him only brought one Shen Wuhua. In fact, it was Lechang who was trying to create opportunities for the two of them. Of course, Yuchi Chifan had to take care of his daughter, and Xiao Xiang was dragged by Lechang to watch Ning Yuan study. There was indeed no one in the harem who could follow Li Xingchen out.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Xingchen was not in a hurry to eat up Shen Wuhua directly. After all, this relationship still needs to be cultivated. Although it is not impossible to "be in love with each other for a long time", but if this woman is unwilling in her heart, she will shout People outside heard the scream, and Li Xingchen felt embarrassed. So now that Li Xingchen lives in the inner room, and Shen Wuhua lives in the outer room as a female official, there is nothing that can cause criticism.
