Chapter 94 The silk handkerchief that should have been lost
In the eyes of Daqi people, the Huns were vulgar and not very smart, but they were tall and tall. They regarded them as barbarians.
Although the Huns were not as powerful as Da Qi, almost every one of them who defeated them could fight one against two.
Most of the Huns made a living by grazing on the grasslands. They had never read any books, and they only had the energy to make trouble everywhere.
Most of the four neighboring countries were provoked by the Huns.
Daqi is one of the four great countries, the most powerful and the richest.
Those barbarians must have thought that Da Qi was good, so they thought of taking Da Qi into their pocket.
However, Da Qi was not something that the Xiongnu could conquer simply by attacking it.
In the past, the Huns were indeed brainless, and everyone did things based on their mood. However, things have changed a bit in recent decades. They also had their own Great Khan, whose status was similar to that of the Emperor of Qi.
In the past two years, I don't know whether the Huns suddenly developed brains or because they were sweating profusely, they started to use their brains.
Just like this side of Xishan, it is not actually close to the Huns, but the Huns are here and have a good plan.
If it were just a few people, and the number of people was increasing every day, and they were burning, killing and looting Xishan, it wouldn't be right.
Therefore, Gu Hanzhang came to Xishan this time to solve the problem of the Xiongnu.
In fact, the traces of the Xiongnu should have been reported to the court long ago, but they were suppressed because the prince behind him was worried that it would affect Gu Hanzhang's appointment as the Chunwei examiner.
Being able to become one of Chunwei's examiners will be a great help to them. This batch of students must respect Gu Hanzhang as their teacher.
Of course, Gu Hanzhang did not come up with the test questions, he was just supervising the scientific examination.
The problem in Xishan was not big, and Gu Hanzhang was slightly relieved.
After hearing the report from his subordinates that the Huns were haunting the back gate of the county government office, Gu Hanzhang's mind was clear, and he was afraid that there might be some shady activities involved.
"Visit the county government office at night and investigate." Gu Hanzhang ordered calmly.
"Yes." Qin Feng replied.
After arranging everything, it was already late at night, but Gu Hanzhang was not sleepy at all.
The original intention was that by leaving the capital and going to Xishan, he would gradually forget the difference that person had made to him. He still had so many things to do and shouldn't be tied down by his children's personal affairs.
What's more, they only had less than a year together.
But people's brains and bodies sometimes seem to be in charge of their own affairs. He knew that he had different feelings for Chaoli and had different feelings for him.
If there was no such agreement between them, he could take it calmly.
But with that agreement between them, he couldn't let the feelings in his heart continue to develop. It would be bad for both of them.
Gu Hanzhang sat on the roof, letting the cold wind blow in, trying to get rid of all the emotions in his mind.
However, the more you don't think about it, the more that person's appearance will appear in your mind, and it can be clearly imprinted in your mind as long as you close your eyes.
Suddenly, Gu Hanzhang moved and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms.
If Chao Li were here, he would definitely recognize that it was the mandala flower silk handkerchief she embroidered, which she thought was blown away by the wind and should have been lost.
It turned out that it was not blown away by the wind, but was taken away by someone.
One night passed, Gu Hanzhang changed his clothes, suppressed the throbbing caused by the strange dream he had last night, and returned to his former cold and self-possessed appearance.
The things on his hands are quite complicated, and he probably won't have much time to think about that person who shouldn't be thinking about him, even though he is worried about him in his heart.
Three days later, it was the agreed time to visit the lake.
Chaoli arrived earlier, Song Lingxin and the other ladies had not arrived yet, and there was still some fog around.
She walked along the embankment with Qing Yi and Pei Yu. At this moment, a red sun rose in the mist. There was no dazzling light, but it added a touch of warmth to the cold surrounding.
There are no waves on the lake, just like a piece of fine jade, which makes Chao Li feel very happy.
Not long after, several carriages came slowly from behind.
Chaoli turned around and saw the leader's carriage, but it was not Song Lingxin's. That carriage looked particularly familiar.
Immediately, all the carriages stopped.
The curtain of the first carriage was opened, and a maid jumped down lightly, lifted the curtain, and helped the people in the carriage to get out.
"How are you, my sister? Today is also a coincidence. I was originally going to see the spices. I didn't want to meet some young ladies walking together on the way. I asked too much about the reason. It turned out that I came to visit the lake. I happened to be interested. Please come to me. Sister Li, please forgive me for coming uninvited." Shen Lianyi said with a gentle smile.
At this moment, Song Lingxin and Gao Rui got off the same carriage, and both of them looked at Chaoli apologetically.
They had talked a lot in the carriage just now, and they knew that there was an undercurrent between Shen Lianyi and Chaoli, but it was really hard to refuse at that time, after all, Mingyue Lake did not belong to them.
Of course Chaoli could see the reaction of the two people. Although her mood was affected a little, she didn't care too much.
"Miss Shen was joking, it was just for fun." Chaoli smiled gently.
Isn't it just a show, making it look like no one can do it?
Several ladies also got off the other three carriages. They were the ones Song Lingxin said were good, so Chaoli didn't say much.
"Sister Chaoli is so generous, so I would be disrespectful." Shen Lianyi said with a smile.
At this time, Song Lingxin and Gao Rui had already walked to Chaoli's side, and the other ladies gathered together. Shen Lianyi was only accompanied by the maid, and she seemed to be left out.
But everyone present knew that Shen Lianyi's uninvited appearance was already displeasing to people, and of course they would not be friendly with her.
From this point of view, the ladies Song Ling dated were pretty good. At least they didn't go out to please Shen Lianyi because of her status. This was enough to show her character.
"Miss Shen, you're welcome. You should be." Chao Li turned to look at Song Lingxin, "Ling Xin, where is the boat you rented? Let's go up first. It's a good day to travel. The sun is not as harsh as in summer."
Song Lingxin also laughed, "Yes, Ah Li will choose the date. The boat is right in front, I will take you there."
"That's fine." Several people nodded in agreement.
There are indeed many painting boats parked on the edge of Mingyue Lake. People in the capital are used to doing business, and they know that young ladies and gentlemen like to recite poems and write poems, especially on the lake.
Therefore, no matter it is spring, summer or autumn or winter, there will always be a boat docked.
Of course, some of them are private, but those are obviously owned by extraordinary people.
Painted boats are expensive but not marketable. Even if ordinary ministers can afford them, they would not dare to buy them, for fear of being copied by the imperial censors.
As we all know, many censors are lunatics and bite everyone they see, especially high-ranking court officials.
Therefore, even the Zhenbei Hou Mansion or the Shen family did not buy a painting boat.
