Han Qiaoer said this, holding a book and started reading.
"Eight years after Emperor Xiaozong's reign, he summoned and promulgated the law of martial arts in Sichuan, commanding four commanders, Xian Cao, Zhizhou military supervisors, Qiao jurisdiction, road division and sojourn attendants and above. Each of them had one officer, and Xingyuan Mansion , Li, Lang, Jin, Yang, Jie, Cheng, Xihe, and Fengzhou each have three members, who will be appointed as officials based on their talents."
Gao Mingyue took a look, first took out a drawing, checked the official names and place names, and marked them with a pen.
This is the various information she compiled for Li Xia. She knows Li Xia's habits best. She doesn't like to read those tedious words and likes to use drawings to record information so that it is clear at a glance.
Afterwards, she took out the manuscript paper and started drafting the memorial.
There is also a list given by Li Xia on the case, which is a group of low-level military positions he will recommend in the near future, including dozens of people from commander to deputy commander.
It sounds like a simple matter, but there are a lot of things you need to pay attention to when writing it in the memorial.
How to word your words, how to prevent the court from suspecting that you are inserting private individuals in the army, how to appear respectful...
Why did Yu Jie arouse the suspicion of the court?
Just because "every memorial is sparse and the tone of the poem is not careful."
To depose a Shu commander, this is enough.
It doesn’t require too many accusations or a disrespectful attitude. No matter how great your merits are, it’s just a matter of your life and death.
In this regard, Lu Wende is a counterexample. People say he is domineering, which is an injustice to him. Even officials say he is "always loyal", respectful and sincere.
Li Xia is like Yu Jie, he is proud but not shy, which is a taboo for a handsome man.
He had a nonchalant attitude towards the writing of the memorial. He would say "pause before bowing before bowing", and every time he would say "pause before bowing before bowing", which seemed perfunctory.
Li Xia also had no intention of learning these, so now all the memorials have been handed over to Gao Mingyue to draft them.
Gao Mingyue was too meticulous. Every time he played something, he would first find an example to show his respect for Chen Gang's old rules...
After the memorial was drafted, she read it carefully again and put it aside.
Han Qiaoer looked over and praised: "Sister Gao's handwriting is so beautiful. When I turned around and Brother Li copied it, the handwriting became murderous again."
"Just your sweet talk, let's draft the next letter. Are you asking for gold, silver, and copper coins?"
"Yeah, dad said, it can't be said that it is used to raise troops. The imperial court has concluded that there will be no war in the near future. It must be said that it is used to appease the people, because the imperial court was frightened by the defeat of Huaixi..."
When Han Qiaoer said this, he took out the reply letter from the last time he failed to ask for money, and muttered unhappily: "You are so stingy if you don't give me money."
"Let's first list the taxes for each year in Sichuan and Shu..."
They then started to flip through the book, and Han Qiaoer soon yawned, hugged Gao Mingyue's waist, and leaned his head over her.
"Sister Gao, when will our aloe vera pills be ready?"
"How about I finish drafting these memorials? You first find out the examples."
Han Qiaoer liked Gao Mingyue's gentleness the most. She hesitated for a while and asked, "Are we going to entertain the women again tomorrow?"
Han Qiaoer didn't like to have tea and talk with the officials' women's families, because she thought they were very boring.
For example, the fifth daughter of Shi Zhuanshi's family always said "answer to Madam" every time she spoke. Unfortunately, Sister Gao had to keep asking after her.
The wife of Magistrate Lu was even more uninteresting. She sat there like a Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Well, I have just arrived in Hanzhong and am not familiar with the place. I am also helping your brother Li." Gao Mingyue said.
"Well, we have to let them say that Sister Gao is very virtuous and virtuous."
In fact, Han Qiaoer just relaxed a little, then sat up again and continued to flip through the book.
She has a very good brain, so she has always been a bit lazy when it comes to paperwork, and it is only because of Li Xia that she is willing to be so busy every day.
Otherwise, she could chat with Gao Mingyue endlessly every day, put face masks on her face, tease the bamboo bears, and not be too comfortable...
~~
In the evening that day, Li Xia returned to the backyard early for a rare occasion.
Han Qiaoer was very happy and hurriedly went to ask the kitchen to cook two more dishes and arranged for someone to boil hot water.
When she happily ran back to the hall, she saw Gao Mingyue being held on Li Xia's lap. The two of them didn't know what they were doing just now. When she saw her coming in, Gao Mingyue stood up hurriedly, her face still a little red.
Han Qiaoer had long been used to strange things and pursed her lips helplessly.
Because Li Xia always looked calm and composed, Han Qiaoer had followed him since he was a child and had some similarities in his personality. He stepped forward and took Gao Mingyue's hand and sat down at the table.
But they even held hands before eating.
"Brother Li, why are you leaving office so early today?"
"Now that the officials who have arrived are familiar with official duties, they are much more relaxed."
"That's great, there happens to be wild boar to eat today. Brother Liu went to the mountain to catch it. He said that his mother Liu was going to have some, so he had to get some good ones."
"Then it seems that Liu Jinsuo is free to defend the city." Li Xia said casually, "Mr. Han and Mr. Yi Ning have gone home for dinner. I will send someone to send some over later."
"Brother Liu also sent wild boar meat over."
The Han family already has a mansion in Hanzhong City. Han Chengxu lives with his son and adopted daughter. He plans to let his son continue his marriage and recruit a son-in-law for his adopted daughter to make the family prosperous.
However, Han Qiaoer did not come to live with her. No one mentioned this matter, and they agreed tacitly to continue living in the handsome manor. Anyway, she could go to the front office to see her father and grandfather every day.
In addition, when Li Xia and Gao Mingyue often did something secretly while avoiding her, Han Qiaoer didn't feel embarrassed because she had already thought that she had entered Li Xia's house...
Within two words, Han Qiaoer noticed that Gao Mingyue had let go of her hand. She turned around and saw that Gao Mingyue had gone to change Li Xia's boots.
"Brother Li, why are there so much mud on your boots?"
"Go to the outside of the city to resettle the population in the afternoon." Li Xia and Gao Mingyue washed their hands together and said, "These people from Guanzhong are very diligent and did not borrow our green crop loans. They dug cellars to live in." Gu Yao
He was quite emotional about this and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"We led them to the designated area and asked to borrow a shovel. A man put down his children and started digging. We had settled more than a thousand people, and he had already dug the cellar... He was afraid that the shovel would be returned, so he didn't even dare to take a breath.
rest."
Li Xia didn't know how to describe this hard work and shook his head.
Gao Mingyue whispered: "There is still food at home. When I entertain the officials and their families tomorrow, how about taking the lead in setting up a porridge shed to help the refugees?"
"That's fine." Li Xia smiled and said, "These people are so hardworking that they won't even let me earn 20% profit."
As long as he is willing to joke, the atmosphere becomes lively.
Han Qiaoer counted on her fingers and said, "When Sister Gao said it, Mrs. Lu must be the first to respond... By the way, Brother Li, have you ever met the wife of Magistrate Lu?"
"No, why do you ask like that?"
Han Qiao'er said: "When we entertained these women the day before yesterday, Mrs. Lu said that she, an official, is uniquely heroic in the world."
Gao Mingyue said: "Thank you for your good memory, Mrs. Lu was just chatting casually."
"That's what the words mean. I have never met Brother Li, but she insists on saying that her family is the number one official." Han Qiaoer was quite dissatisfied and just looked at Li Xia with admiration in her eyes.
Li Xia said: "She is right. In her eyes, Lu Xiufu is the most handsome."
"But……"
Li Xia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Even Liu Jinsuo is the most heroic in Liu Niang's eyes. Each has his own deep love as a couple. People say they like him, but how can he really be ranked? To be more serious would be uninteresting."
Gao Mingyue glanced at Li Xia, pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Han Qiaoer also understood, but Li Xia said one more thing.
"Qiao'er will understand when he grows up."
Han Qiaoer felt depressed for a moment and muttered: "You have grown up and you can't see it."
Li Xia was already distracted.
He didn't know much about history, but he had heard that when the Song Dynasty died, Lu Xiufu personally pushed his wife and children into the sea.
Heartless?
If Lu Xiufu is said to be ruthless, Li Xia has recently seen their husband and wife loving each other.
I can only say that in this world, the weak seem to be guilty.
Li Xia is still weak now.
But he firmly believes that this is only temporary...
~~
That night.
"The official accepted Qiao'er, right?"
In the embroidered tent, Gao Mingyue curled up in Li Xia's arms, finally took a breath, and asked this question.
"Um?"
"It's Chinese Valentine's Day in two days. I checked the almanac and it's the right time to get married... Don't you really know Qiao'er's intentions?"
Li Xia said: "I always feel that she hasn't grown yet and can't bear it."
Gao Mingyue whispered: "I... can't bear it either."
"Do not believe."
"Well...really..." Gao Mingyue caressed Li Xia's chest and murmured: "You deliberately...wanted to have more concubines...I've lost to you, don't do this..."
"Really?" Li Xia leaned over and softly praised Gao Mingyue's beauty and cuteness.
"Let's rest for a while... Seriously, if you don't accept Qiao'er, she should be anxious."
Li Xia hugged her and said: "Seriously, I love Qiao'er... More importantly, I like to indulge her, watching her become more and more lively and bold. She was so thin and sallow when we first met. It’s too hard. Protect her and raise her well, then I will know that all the things I have done have not been in vain. Instead of wanting to treat her...like this..."
"Hmm~~"
Gao Mingyue raised her head, and after a while, she gently held Li Xia's face.
"You just...have only lust for me?"
"Compared to Qiao'er, she is more lustful."
"Hmm... But my back hurts. How about we talk first?"
Gao Mingyue can now chatter to Li Xia. She likes to hold Li Xia and say small things to her heart during such breaks.
No need to hide, no need to modify, just what the little girl wants to say.
"Actually, I also like to be arrogant and indulgent. I know that you also hope that I can be more carefree. In your unkind words, I can 'open up my heart.' But I am your wife, so I must still put up a good show... …But I know how tolerant you are of me.”
She felt that saying this was boring, so she asked Li Xia again: "Am I talking too much?"
"No." Li Xia said: "The first time I noticed you was when you were whispering to Qiaoer in the carriage. Although you were in danger, you made me feel that the years are peaceful... I need you to be behind me. Always."
Gao Mingyue was very happy and changed into a comfortable position to hug Li Xia.
…
"In the past, when my father died in battle and the Dali Kingdom was destroyed, I felt that the sky was falling. When I met you, you held me up. I felt that you were too tired, so when you were holding on, I wanted to accompany you to hold on. Although
I have very little strength. Anyway, I can’t make you happy like Qiaoer, but I also want to pamper her..."
Later, Gao Mingyue would also talk about Zhang Wenjing.
"I also secretly thought that if my father and uncle surrendered, my family would not be like that, but I was worried that I would never meet you again. Then I heard you talk about the Zhang family girl, and you asked me if I was jealous, and I
In fact, I feel like she is like another me who doesn’t have to go through the turmoil, but she still falls in love with you when she meets you..."
