Under the afternoon sun, everything seemed very quiet.
The river flows quietly.
The mountains, rivers and fields change their colors of spring.
Birds were chirping and jumping from one branch to another.
A shepherd boy is singing in the distance.
There are farmers working in the fields.
Occasionally, a galloping knight appears, and when passing by Green Willow Garden, he will subconsciously slow down.
Le Lanji sat under the crabapple tree, quietly listening to the nursery rhymes coming from outside the wall, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.
Sometimes she would play the piano and immerse herself in the ocean of music.
The sound of the piano is still smooth and pleasant, but there have been considerable changes within it.
Half a year ago, when she was imprisoned in the Chengdu Prince's Palace, the music of the piano was melodious and desolate, carrying endless resentment and hatred.
A few months ago, when she was at Jinmenwu, the sound of the piano was low and hesitant, with a little confusion and a trace of expectation.
Now, she is in the Green Willow Garden, the music of the piano is cheerful and bright, with indescribable excitement, and maybe a little shy.
The piano is like the person it is.
The sound of the piano is the voice of the human heart.
A sudden east wind ruffled a pool of green water.
Begonia flowers fluttered and fell on the table.
Le Lanji gently brushed off the petals.
Under the petals is a roster, the first few words are "Liang County Martial Arts".
Yes, a group of wooden houses are being built on the wasteland east of Liang County. After they are completed, all student soldiers will move here to focus on study, training, and labor.
There are countless warriors around Shao Xun, but the talents suitable for management are extremely scarce - this is not just about writing and calculating. Among the student soldiers in each period, there are currently only a dozen or so people who are barely competent, and they are not yet qualified.
Lack of experience.
Lelan Ji occasionally helps out, such as sorting out rosters, making calculations, purchasing various supplies needed for martial arts, etc., and then dispatches stewards from Green Willow Garden to carry out the specific tasks.
There are dozens of servants in Green Willow Garden, many of whom come from the former Chengdu Prince's Palace.
For these servants, the familiar people are still there, the princess is still there, and the whole house has just changed to a male master. "It will not have much impact", so they can do whatever they need to do.
Lan Ji became more comfortable in commanding them, and she felt more secure psychologically. The preliminary preparations for the Liang County martial arts school were handled by several old servants from the Chengdu Prince's Palace who had been in charge for decades, so nothing would go wrong.
After hurriedly handling the last bit of business, Lan Ji lazily walked to the low couch next to her, yawned, and prepared to take a nap.
I slept until the sun turned west.
Shao Xun returned home early with a lot of worries and planned to make some arrangements. When he suddenly saw the beauty sleeping soundly under the crabapple tree, he suddenly laughed.
The spring shirt is thin and fragrant.
The beauty's round and undulating buttocks were facing him. He never got tired of looking at it, never played with it enough, wanted to explore the secrets every time, and threw away his armor every time...
He gently picked up the beauty and carried her to the bedroom. There would be guests coming later.
"Mr. Lang seems to be worried?" Lan Ji woke up quickly, put her arms around his neck, and asked softly.
"Something big happened in Luoyang." Shao Xun put the woman on the bed, pulled out a thin quilt, covered it lightly, then sat on the bedside and said: "The emperor has died, the emperor's brother has ascended the throne in front of the soul, and changed the name to Yongjia.
, amnesty for the whole world. The queen was frightened, fled Liang County, and soon went to Green Willow Garden."
Le Lanji's eyes widened, even wider than they did that night at Jinmenwu.
"Don't think too much about this matter." Shao Xun gently stroked her face and asked, "I met Nanyang County Cheng Lekuan in Guangchengze. Do you know him?"
"That's an uncle." Le Lanji said: "When I was a child, I lived in an old house, just ninety miles south of Nanyang City. My uncle often came here and walked around. His father took him to participate in several talks, and his reputation gradually grew. Later,
He was conscripted into an official position."
"It's really easy to be an official in a wealthy family. You can just say a few words." Shao Xun said with emotion.
Lelan Ji chuckled and said, "Isn't this what generations of people have struggled for?"
"I have no family background. How will our children become officials in the future?" Shao Xun asked with a smile.
Le Lanji's face turned red and she said nothing.
The room fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Lan Ji asked softly: "How about I write a letter and ask my uncle to come to Green Willow Garden?"
"Can you let some of your brothers come over and sit down?" Shao Xun asked.
"Okay." She agreed immediately.
If Shao Xun didn't mention it, she wouldn't take the initiative to contact her family for the time being. Now that she mentioned it, she was a little happy, and she would naturally think about seeing her family.
Liang County crosses a mountain to the south, which is the boundary of Luyang County in Nanyang State. It can be said that it is very close at hand.
Shao Xun showed his talents in Liang County and Guang Chengze. As time goes by, the outside world will always know about it and there will always be discussions.
Based on the principle of differentiation and co-optation, he wanted to open a gap among the aristocratic families in Nanyang and Yingchuan.
In the direction of Nanyang, he chose the local snake Le's.
Today's Leshi may not like him, and may not be willing to join the system he created, but it is always right to contact him in advance and form a good relationship.
It would be really embarrassing if I was beaten to death in the north and someone stabbed me in the butt here in Liang County or Guangchengze.
"Mr. Sir, are you going to see a guest later?" Lan Ji asked.
"The Queen's car is only ten miles away from here. She will come over soon with the county magistrate Yang Zuyan and the palace general Chen Jin." Shao Xun helped Lan Ji tuck in the quilt and said: "Get some sleep. I won't be busy in two days.
I’ll take you hunting in the mountains.”
Le Lanji nodded slightly, her heart filled with joy.
In twenty-five years of life, this was the first time a man was willing to coax her like this.
Because of this joy, she was willing to beg the elders, brothers, sisters and friends she met in her girlhood to see if she could help her husband.
****
As soon as it got dark, people outside the Green Willow Garden started shouting.
Yang Xianrong got off the carriage and looked at the mansion with critical eyes.
It must be some powerful mansion in the countryside. It cost a lot of money, but it smells like a nouveau riche who lacks any background.
I don’t know how it fell into Shao Xun’s hands.
He is not a good person, he can even be said to be one of the most ruthless people in Luoyang. He can do anything. This house is probably not decent.
Shao Xun did not intend to make a big fuss, but led the people in in a low-key manner.
Chen Jin wanted to say something, but Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "I'm aware of General Chen's intention. We'll discuss it tomorrow."
Chen Jin nodded and took his soldiers to stay in a village north of Green Willow Garden.
Yangman hesitated for a while and then said goodbye. He would come back tomorrow.
Le Lanji still got up.
She was not even a concubine in Green Willow Garden, strictly speaking she was a maid, and she was not qualified to see Yang Xianrong.
But she still came over and brought wine and food made by herself.
"You..." Yang Xianrong looked at Le Lanji's increasingly beautiful face, a little surprised and even jealous. He lost his voice for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Queen, please have a meal." Lan Ji put down the food box and took out the exquisite food one by one.
"Are you happy now?" Yang Xianrong said sourly, then thinking of his situation, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, don't mention it!
Le Lanji did not directly answer Yang Xianrong's words. She just sighed and said, "It would be great if I married a few years later and met my husband."
"Haha, who wouldn't keep an eye on Shangshu Ling's daughter? What kind of family background does Shao Xun have? If you are not a widow or a concubine, how can he succeed?" Yang Xianrong sneered and said.
Le Lanji was not angry either, she just placed the dishes and dishes calmly, elegantly and briskly.
Yang Xianrong was disappointed. But he was really hungry, so he didn't want to get angry with Lan Ji and started eating on the spot.
Le Lanji sat across from him quietly and didn't speak.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Le Shi once climbed on top of her - even though she was just the concubine, before Sima Ying fell, everyone knew that the concubine was more powerful than the queen.
After Sima Ying's defeat, Le Shi was severely manipulated by her for a while.
But how long has it been since then? Leshi seems to have climbed onto her head again.
This woman looks quite elegant, generous and elegant, but she is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
How can Shao Xun hold such a shameless and charming figure? He must be eaten up by her.
Uh, let's talk about Shao Xun, Shao Xun is here.
"Queen, I will be on duty at the house tonight, and I will not let any bad guys disturb the Queen." There was the sound of the collision of equipment and armor outside the room, as well as Shao Xun's low-pitched orders to dispatch sentries.
Yang Xianrong felt a little moved.
She glanced at Le Lanji subconsciously.
Lan Ji had lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt that the food was more delicious. He had a great appetite and ate a lot.
However, as she ate, she began to wake up a little bit.
Why should I be angry with Leshi and I as a slave?
Alas, in the past two days and one night, people have been scared to death. It seems that they are tired.
After eating in silence, Le Lanji packed up the utensils and left.
After a while, several maids from the Chengdu Palace came in and served the sheep for bathing.
After everything was settled, it was already the willow branches above the moon.
Yang Xianrong was lying on a high bed for the first time, feeling a little strange.
There were slight footsteps and the sound of beetle leaves clashing outside the window.
"Shao Qing, is that you?" Yang Xianrong suddenly shouted.
"Queen, I am your minister."
Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out comfortably, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.
Late at night, Yang Xianrong suddenly woke up.
There seemed to be no sound outside the window.
Her heart was beating fast, and she was a little scared subconsciously, so she couldn't help shouting: "Shao Qing?"
"Queen, don't be afraid, I'm here." The sound of armor leaves sounded again, along with that steady and powerful voice.
"Yeah." Yang Xianrong lay back and suddenly wanted to shed tears.
I was born in such a good family and had such a noble status, how could I end up in this situation?
Is there really no place for oneself in this world?
What did she do wrong? Why is her life so miserable? Why are there people everywhere trying to harm her?
She couldn't understand, so she could only cry silently in the dead of night.
After thinking wildly for a long time, perhaps too tired or too frightened, Yang Xianrong finally fell into a deep sleep.
A dreamless night.
Yang Xianrong, who didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, suddenly realized that she had slept so peacefully for the first time in many years.
She was stunned for a long time.
Chapter completed!
