Chapter 0230 She is beautiful or not, I don't care, what I like is her talent
Xiang Yan's words were difficult to pronounce, but Kou Ji understood the meaning of her words.
She was telling Kou Ji that neither her arrogance when she met Kou Ji for the first time nor her shyness when she met Kou Ji for the second time were not her true temperament.
The temper she shows now is her true temper.
A lady who is well-educated, considerate and wise.
Kou Ji looked at Xiang Yan and nodded slowly.
He took off the thick cloak from his body and put it on Xiang Yan. He laughed softly and said, "It's cold outside. Go back early."
Xiang Yan put on Kou Ji's cloak and felt not only warm all over her body, but also warm in her heart.
She stood up slowly, picked up the wine glass, and whispered to Kou Ji: "I advise you to have another drink..."
Kou Ji picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, raised the empty glass in his hand toward Yan, put it on the table, and bowed with his hands clasped in fists.
Xiang Yan returned the gift, biting her lips lightly, and said softly: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Kou Ji hummed, grinned, and left the pavilion in a carefree manner.
The second sister of the Xiang family looked at Kou Ji's leaving figure, beat her chest and cursed in a low voice: "This dead man, he only saw you shivering from the cold, sister, but he didn't see me shivering from the cold.
He gave you a cloak, but I'm still suffering in the cold wind."
Xiang Yan rolled her eyes playfully and scolded softly: "Don't talk nonsense. He is going to fight on the battlefield. It is a fatal place. What you say is unlucky."
The second sister of the Xiang family said unhappily: "With his status, he can hide in Bianjing City for peace and quiet, why should he go to the border of Song and Liao to take risks?"
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji who had left the pavilion and climbed onto the donkey's back. He was lying very low, as if he was using the donkey's cute big head to help him resist the threats in front of him.
Cold wind.
It looks very funny.
Xiang Yan burst into laughter.
When the second sister of the Xiang family saw that Xiang Yan was staring at Kou Ji and did not answer her question, she immediately stamped her feet coquettishly and stood in front of Xiang Yan, blocking her sight, and shouted with a look of complaint: "Sister~
"
Xiang Yan's eyes were blocked by the second sister of the Xiang family, and then she withdrew her gaze, fell on the second sister of the Xiang family, and said softly: "Sooner or later, he will leave Beijing. It is better to leave Beijing now than later.
.”
The second sister of the Xiang family frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Xiang Yan said calmly: "There is an unwritten rule in our court. Officials who have never served abroad cannot serve as prime ministers."
The second sister of the Xiang family said in shock: "He wants to be prime minister?"
Xiang Yan shook her head and said faintly: "I don't know if he has any intention of becoming prime minister. I only know that if he is not transferred out of Beijing as an official at this time, and if he is transferred out in the future, it will be difficult to transfer him.
return."
The second sister of the Xiang family looked confused.
Xiang Yan didn't explain much.
Because some words are taboo.
For example, the lives and deaths of Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun.
Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun were already weak and could not last many years in the court.
Once these two people died, Kou Ji would have no one to rely on in the court.
If you are sent as an official by the imperial court at that time, it may be difficult to be recalled.
Liu E, Concubine Li, and even a large number of officials in the court did not like Kou Ji. This is a well-known thing.
If they had seized the power of the court after the deaths of Kou Zhun and Xiang Minzhong, then Kou Ji would definitely not be able to survive in their hands.
Therefore, if Kou Ji wants to improve his resume, he can only take advantage of now, while Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun are still alive.
As long as Kou Ji had enough experience while Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun were alive, he would be able to securely occupy the court after Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun died.
Even if others want to use this excuse to embarrass Kou Ji, it will be difficult to sway Kou Ji in the slightest.
Xiang Yan tightened the cloak around her body and said to the second sister of the Xiang family who was still confused: "Go back home."
The second sister of the Xiang family nodded blankly.
Xiang Yan walked out and said: "How many servants are there in charge of delivering messages in the house? In the future, they will inevitably have to travel between Bianjing and Baozhou. If there are fewer people, it will not be enough, and we will have to recruit more.
.”
The second sister of the Xiang family pouted and said, "There are still thirteen servants who are responsible for delivering messages, and there are thirteen people staying in the house. Isn't this enough?"
Xiang Yan said calmly: "It may not be enough..."
The second sister of the Xiang family was shocked when she heard this.
A breeze blew by, making her shiver all over.
She jogged for two steps and caught up to Xiang Yan. She tugged on Xiang Yan's sleeve and said pitifully: "Sister, I'm cold..."
Xiang Yan paused and looked at her doubtfully, "I brought cotton-padded clothes with me when I came here. Why don't you wear them?"
The second sister of the Xiang family held her tongue and whispered: "I want to share a cloak with my sister..."
"Ha...what a beautiful thought..."
"..."
…
On the official road.
The group of people moved forward slowly.
Kou Ji was like a quail, sitting on the donkey's back, using the donkey's fur to keep warm.
But the cold wind seemed to have a grudge against him, and kept getting in along his sleeves and collar.
Kou Ji shrank his neck and asked the guards around him, "Who has an extra fur coat and can lend me one?"
The words just fell.
Seven or eight fur coats were thrown on Kou Ji's body, wrapping him tightly.
Kou Ji was as frozen as a dead dog, and the guards and accompanying servants could see clearly.
They did have extra clothes to keep out the cold, but they were afraid that Kou Ji would dislike them, so they didn't speak for a while.
Now that Kou Ji asks for it, they will naturally not be stingy.
Koji fell into the swamp and slowly struggled out.
Before I even took off the fur coat on my head, I heard bursts of ridicule.
Kou Ji quickly took off the fur coat on his head and looked up.
The laughter disappeared, and the guards and servants still acted like they should keep strangers away.
Kou Ji wrapped himself in his fur coat, looked around at the servants and guards, and snorted coldly.
He casually picked up an extra leather jacket, covered his head, and hummed: "You can laugh if you want, I can't see with my head covered."
"Hahaha……"
The guards and servants laughed out loud again.
There was a continuous burst of laughter.
Someone took the opportunity and asked, holding his voice: "Young Master, are you in love with Miss Xiang?"
Kou Ji covered his head and said angrily: "No..."
Immediately, someone retorted: "Young master, who are you lying to? When the little people see you at home on weekdays, you wrap yourself up tightly and will not let yourself freeze at all, let alone
Give your cloak to others.
Now you gave the cloak to the girl from the Xiang family and said that you are not getting along with her."
Kou Ji's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So what if we get better, do you want to take care of it?"
"The little people don't care. It's just that they heard that the girl from the Xiang family is a first-class beauty in Bianjing City. The little people usually don't have the blessing to see it. Young Master, you just saw it clearly. I don't know.
Is she as beautiful as the rumors say?"
Kou Ji snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I didn't look closely at whether she is beautiful or not. What I admire is her talent."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as Kou Ji said this, the servants and guards laughed.
Someone even took the opportunity to ridicule: "Young Master, what you said is so hypocritical. Last year, you were very indifferent to Xiang's girl. But now you have changed your tone. It doesn't depend on the parents."
When I was one year old, my head grew taller, my eyebrows opened up, and I became more beautiful, so I changed my attitude."
"Okay, how dare you kid to laugh at me."
Kou Ji didn't know when he had taken off the leather jacket on his head. He stared at the person who spoke and said through gritted teeth: "Anyone who dares to laugh at me will end up not being very good."
"Still sitting in the carriage? Why don't you come over and lead the donkey for me? From now on, when the donkey walks slowly, I won't beat the donkey, but you specifically. This is the price you pay for laughing at me."
The servant hurriedly jumped out of the carriage with his head shrunk, wrapped himself tightly in his sheepskin coat, walked up to Koji's donkey, and took the reins of the donkey.
Kou Ji whipped his whip and yelled and cursed a few times.
He looks very much like those bully dandies in Bianjing City.
But the guards and servants could see clearly. Koji whipped his whip very loudly, but none of it fell on the servants.
Suddenly, they felt a little closer to the young master Kou Ji.
The group of people walked forward for a mile.
Arriving in front of a pavilion.
Fan Zhongyan was waiting respectfully in the pavilion.
Kou Ji wanted to jump off the donkey's back to see him, but was stopped by Fan Zhongyan.
Fan Zhongyan gave a solemn salute to Kou Ji on the donkey's back, "My dear brother is about to go to war, there is no need to waste time for Fan. My dear brother, just move forward, and Fan will compose a song to see you off."
May my worthy brother return in triumph!"
Kou Ji was not pretentious. He cupped his hands in front of Fan Zhongyan and walked forward slowly on his donkey.
Fan Zhongyan was behind him, stroking his hands and singing a song to send him off.
Kou Ji heard Fan Zhongyan's singing behind him, and couldn't help but think of the song "To Wang Lun" by the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Bai was about to leave in a boat when he suddenly heard singing on the shore; the water in Peach Blossom Pond was a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun's love for me...
In the past, whenever Kou Ji read this poem, he always felt it was a bit hypocritical.
Now that he saw Fan Zhongyan writing a song for him, he finally understood the friendship in this poem.
Only the kind of people who treat you sincerely and treat you as a friend will sing songs to see you off when you leave.
It is far more real than the friendship created over glasses of wine, and can enhance the aroma...
When Kou Ji arrived at Tianwu outside the city and visited the military camp where the Japanese army was located, Fan Zhongyan's singing seemed to still be echoing in his ears.
After arriving at the gate of the military camp and issuing the seal of the military supervisor, Kou Ji was let into the military camp.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the military camp, he was summoned by Cao Wei to the Chinese army's tent.
Arriving at the Chinese military tent.
Then I saw Cao Wei at the top, Lin Te next, Yang Wenguang, and Cao Xu standing aside.
Yang Wenguang was a little excited when he saw Kou Ji, but because of the majesty of Cao Wei and Lin Te, he did not dare to speak.
Kou Ji clasped his fists at Cao Wei and said, "Kou Ji, who supervises the military affairs of Baozhou, come and order Mao."
Cao Wei waved his hand to signal Kou Ji not to be too polite, and then said: "I just discussed with Supervisor Lin the matter of escorting the grain and grass. After discussion, it was decided that the pioneer general Yang Wenguang, leading 10,000 troops, would escort the grain and grass northward first.
You and Lin Dujian will be in charge.
Do you have any objection?"
Kou Ji shook his head.
Seeing this, Cao Wei said coldly: "Reply!"
Kou Ji was stunned and realized that this was a military camp, not a palace, and he nodded and shook his head.
Immediately, he held his fists and said in a deep voice: "I have no objections to this."
Cao Wei nodded with satisfaction.
It's just that Cao Wei was satisfied, but some people were not.
Lin Te said angrily from the side: "Cao Wei, I never said that I would accompany Yang Wenguang to escort the food and grass. Don't impose your own ideas on me.
For the purpose of escorting the food and grass, Yang Wenguang and Kou Ji are enough. I still need to stay with you and keep an eye on you."
Cao Wei's face darkened and he gritted his teeth.
He didn't want Lin Te to serve as military supervisor because he was afraid that Lin Te would interfere in the military affairs randomly.
No matter how scary it is, Lin Te was sent to serve as a supervisor.
And as soon as you enter the military camp, you have a posture of intervening in the military. Computer version::/
Cao Wei originally wanted Lin Te to serve as the general manager of escorting grain and grass, and took the opportunity to transfer him, but he did not expect that he would not fall for the trick at all.
"Forest……"
Cao Wei was about to speak to Lin Te.
But Kou Ji spoke first, "Lin Dujian was probably afraid that the Liao army would send a small group of troops to invade our Song Dynasty and endanger his life, so he chose to follow the army." : :
"Bang!"
Lin Te heard Kou Ji's words, slapped the table and stood up, yelling: "You fart, if I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be the supervisor."
Kou Ji grinned and said, "That's hard to say..."
Lin Te said angrily: "I stay in the army to perform my duty of supervising the army and keep an eye on Cao Wei."
Kou Jishaa smiled and said: "Who knows..."
“Bang bang bang!”
Under Kou Ji's repeated ridicule, Lin Te was furious. He slapped the table and roared: "I will take over the responsibility of the general manager of transporting grain and grass."
Lin Te stared at Kou Ji and shouted angrily: "I want you to see that I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"hehe……"
Kou Ji smiled faintly.
Lin Te clenched his fists in anger and almost asked someone to drag Kou Ji out to engage in military law.
Cao Wei was relieved when he saw that Lin Te had agreed to be the general manager of escorting grain and grass.
He smoothed things over and said: "You two, that's enough, stop arguing. This is a military camp, not your residence."
Kou Ji heard Cao Wei's words and slowly closed his mouth.
Lin Te stared at Cao Wei and snorted coldly: "Don't think that I can't see it. The two of you are working together to give me a provocation. This time, I did what you wanted, just because I didn't want to be looked down upon by some brat.
When we get to Zhending Mansion, I will argue with you again."
I left this sentence behind.
Linte walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
After Lin Te left, Cao Wei let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "These are even more troublesome, because this old man is thinking about them."
Cao Wei glanced at Kou Ji and opened his mouth, but did not speak.
He just shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Kou Ji saw what Cao Wei wanted to ask and said with a wry smile: "Cao Shuai, what do you mean? I told my grandfather and advised him. But my grandfather said that those in Bianjing City are qualified to serve by your side.
Except for Lin Te, there is no one else who supervises the army.
