Lu Lan and Guo Shao left the weaving shop and got into the carriage. The wooden wheels clashed, and the roads in Tokyo's inner city were not very bumpy, but the bamboo curtains in the car windows were also shaken from side to side. Lu Lan lowered his eyes and said nothing, but at this time he became more reserved and gentle. She used to run around in Zhuozhou and Wushan to treat people. She was a very pungent young lady. Who provoked her and cursed others was a bit unambiguous, but now she is a bit twisted.
"Ms. Chen's eyes are really amazing, and they fit well without any dosage." Lu Xiaoniang said, "It's just that I'm not used to it..."
Guo Shao smiled and said: "There is a specialization in surgery, and you don't want to think about what Mrs. Chen does."
At this moment, he lifted the driving curtain and said to Lu Chengyong who was riding a horse: "Now in the West Market, you go to the restaurant and tea shop to ask if there are edible honeycombs for sale." Lu Chengyong clasped his fist and said: "Here." /
Lu Xiaoniang immediately covered her face, but now she doesn't swell anymore. Her gaze flickered: "Nobody eats that kind of stuff, how can it be sold?" Guo Shao smiled: "The huge Tokyo city, as long as you can think of it, you can have it."
Lu Xiaoniang whispered: "General Guo is so good to me, is he making a crooked idea?"
Guo Shao didn't say a word, Lu Xiaoniang said: "I am homeless now, I know you are not at ease."
At this time, Guo Shaocai replied as if he hadn't asked: "When it comes to food, I remember one thing. I have tasted the delicacies of the mountains and the sea in the restaurant and tea shop, and even the royal food in the palace, but I think: :Read: Novel 3w.ybdu.. The best food is Yulian's dishes."
"Yulian is the cook of General Guo's mansion?" Lu Xiaoniang asked casually.
Guo Shao shook his head and said: "She is my concubine, not a cook. But the craftsmanship is really good. I don't think it is good alone. There is a little Taoist in the family who has a very picky mouth and likes what Yulian makes. Once I asked her, where to learn the craft? She said that she used to be hungry, so if she can eat a good meal, she must be very careful. That's why her dishes are so delicious."
After listening, Xiaoniang Lu glanced at Guo Shao, and guessed that he was observing his rough skin, and he did not look like a nobleman.
Guo Shao said: "People who have never been hungry will not really understand the delicious food."
Lu Xiaoniang asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Guo Shao smiled and said: "People who have not tossed and turned in countless nights do not understand the preciousness of beautiful women's hearts."
Lu Xiaoniang blushed: "If General Guo teases me like this, I will get angry."
Guo Shao said lightly: "I just made a joke with you, and I won't do anything to Lady Lu." After he said, his eyes suddenly stopped on the place where Lu Lan's body was bulging.
Lu Lan looked down, and was immediately ashamed and annoyed. Although the shirt is thin and the fabric on the chest is quite thick, Lu Lan's body seems to be different. There was a slight change just now, and something embarrassing appeared.
"I..." Lu Lan immediately blocked her with both hands, "How do you tell me to behave if you are so light on me?"
Guo Shao whispered: "No one knows."
……
The Zhou court had a large fortune, coupled with the power brought about by the victory of the war, the crisis has eased.
The Jinling of the Southern Tang Dynasty was another scene. The weather was bad, the summer rainstorm hit, and the rain on the roof of the glazed tiles of the palace was rushing, and the entire imperial city seemed to be flooded. The clouds in the sky are very low, and the daylight is as dim as the evening, but lightning shines brightly between the sky and the earth from time to time.
Li Yu was holding an umbrella when he entered the palace, but his robe and boots were soaked. He stood in the main hall and waited for a while, then saw an **** come out and said: "Please come from the prince."
Li Yu just followed the **** into the house, and saw that the country lord was sitting on a chair above the study room, surrounded by books and memorials. In the dim light, he remained motionless. It is hard to find one sitting on it without looking carefully. people.
"The sons and ministers knocked on the father." Li Yu bowed and bowed.
"Come here." The lord's voice was hoarse, and with a light wave of his robe sleeves, all the nearby attendants left the study.
Li Yu walked into the table in silence and stood before the case.
Guozhu said: "Han Xizai and others have underestimated Guo Shao, the martial artist of the Zhou Dynasty, and he will go to Shu in two months. His ambition is not limited to Shu, right?"
Li Yu hurriedly said: "The Lord of Shu has always been arrogant and respected as the emperor; his father has been respectful after the Battle of Huainan, and the Southern Tang Army is stronger than the Shu Army, and the Zhou Dynasty may not use troops against Southern Tang..."
"When you were in Tokyo, you promised to pay 1.2 million pennies in tribute. Now we have to send people to Tokyo as soon as possible."
Li Yu bent over and bowed. He felt that the lord of the country summoned himself on such a rainy day, and he was afraid that he would not just talk about tribute, so he stood and listened.
Sure enough, it took a long time for the Lord of the Kingdom to speak: "For my father, I have gradually felt exhausted recently. The palace in Hongdu has been properly repaired. I want to move to live there. Today I called the prince to discuss with you. It's time to pass the throne to you. "
"Never, father is in the prime of life, how can this be? My sons and ministers dare not take on this important task." Li Yu said with mixed emotion.
Guozhu said: "For the father, the prince is already competent for the affairs of the country, and the throne is left to you, and the father is most assured. You think I am old and tired, do not postpone it."
Li Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground.
The Lord's tone suddenly felt a little guilty: "This king has been in great storms throughout his life, but at this juncture, he wants to bear the burden on you. I really feel a little bit sorry for Yuer."
Li Yu buried his head, his face was green. Father's life has been turbulent, and it has not been easy for him to survive until now, and he has paid too much; seeing that he wants to take over, it is a mess in the wind and rain, so what can he get in the end?
There was a flash in the palace. Li Yu waited for a while, and he heard a "boom" thunder before he said solemnly: "Please consider carefully again, Father."
The lord of the country pondered for a moment, and said: "Wuchang Jiedu sent Lin Renzhao to blockade the south bank of the Yangtze River, and sent people to discuss peace and alliance with Wuping Jiedu (Chu) to fight against the upper reaches; ...... The former king and Zhou Shizong negotiated peace and retired, but time has passed, and it is inevitable that Southern Tang will fall into war again."
Li Yu said: "There are only one or two people who invite the war. Most of the subjects in the middle of the country are unwilling to start the war lightly. Of course, the four uncles and Lin Renzhao are in charge, and the war is inevitable; but if the royal family takes the initiative to fight, there will be many people. Blame us for injuring the country."
"You go down." The lord said dejectedly.
...Li Yu bowed to resign and returned to the East Palace in the rain.
Went to the gallery and handed the umbrella to the entourage behind him. An **** at the front door was about to obey the ceremony. Li Yu waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Don't make a noise." After that, he walked into the hall. Walked inside for a while, but instead of entering the room, he walked into the study next to him.
He bolted the door, walked deep alone without saying a word, and skillfully picked up a bookshelf on the right side of the wall and moved it, then stretched out his hand to slowly remove a brick, and carefully supported his left hand. the following. Bend down and looked over, a piece of paper was in front of his eyes, and there was a hole in the middle of the paper; he saw through the hole, it was a copper lamp holder. A woman in a plain white dress was sitting in front of an easel. She was Zhou Xian.
In the dim light, Zhou Xian's face, neck and wrists looked whiter, like a pearl in a palace. She sat there alone, with no one by her side, and looked very clear in such weather. She dipped her pen in the inkstone and concentrated on carving a painting.
Li Yu fixed her eyes and saw that she painted a plum blossom.
For a long time, Zhou Xian repeated such slow movements, changing pens, dipping ink, and drawing without making a sound or doing anything else. Li Yu felt nothing unusual, so he recovered the things in the study and quit.
Walking into the Shangfang, Li Yu said: "I'm back." Without going into the room, he just sat down on the stool outside the screen and said: "Emperor, make me a pot of tea."
After a while, Zhou Xian came out, took a look, and said: "His Royal Highness comes in first to change into a robe, and drink tea later."
Li Yu lowered his head and looked: "It's okay." He stood up, walked into the room and took a casual glance, and found that the plum blossom picture on the easel was no longer there. He felt a little strange in his heart, so he asked in a casual tone: "What is Ehuang doing?"
"I have nothing to do, I am painting." Zhou Xian said while looking for clothes, "Why did the father summon you?"
Li Yu asked: "What kind of painting is to be painted?"
"On a whim..." Zhou Xian's gaze suddenly changed a little. He looked down and said softly, "Plum."
"Oh." Li Yu nodded, then said solemnly, "My father wants to abdicate in advance and move to Hongdu, passing the throne to me."
Zhou Xian's expression changed, and after a while he said calmly: "Father has worked for many years, and his highness can share it, and it is also a kind of filial piety... Take off the robe and put it on. The boots are also changed."
After a while, Zhou Xian has placed a neatly arranged stack of angular and angular clothes on the couch, and a pair of wooden clogs underneath.
Li Yu untied his belt, took off his robe and threw it directly on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "But it's a mess in my hands. I really don't know how long Nantang Guojiye can keep in my hands. Then Guo Shao..."
Zhou Xian's dignified and indifferent expression changed slightly.
Li Yu said: "Zhou Jun can fight south and north, a woman can't lead soldiers, let alone a child of a few years old. Then Guo Shao has won the trust of the royal family, and has established prestige in the army...If there is no Guo Shao in the Zhou court. , What will threaten our country?"
"What does your Highness mean?" Zhou Xian asked in surprise.
Li Yu was silent for a long time, deliberately not answering, waiting for Zhou Xian to consider. He was busy changing clothes and shoes, and then sat down on the collapse, then he said: "I just think this person is very troublesome, think about it for a while."
Zhou Xian said: "He is just young. His Royal Highness is afraid that he can only fight with him."
"Different strengths, different domestic conditions, and no way to fight. Only martial arts like the four uncles think that victory or defeat is only related to the strength of the troops." Li Yu said with a sad face, seeing Zhou Xian still had no idea. , And gently reminded, "By the way, my country has to hurry up recently for the 1.2 million tributes to the Zhou court."
