The first thousand two hundred and thirty-eight chapters are urgently summoned to Beijing
A little half a month after Wen Renzheng left.
While Young Master Liu was dealing with the official duties sent by Yu Chengle, he calmed down and silently regulated the internal energy in his body according to the method taught by the old man.
Wen Renzheng said it right, he has always been too lazy.
If I don't take advantage of such a good opportunity now, I will really become a being that cannot be supported by mud.
Liu Mingzhi did not want to miss this opportunity, nor did he want to disappoint the old man and Wenren Yunshu. Although the old man was not around, Wenren Yunshu was always by his side.
If I knew that I had failed the old man's high expectations, I don't know how uncomfortable I would feel!
Young Master Liu sat cross-legged in a weird posture in the steaming study room. After a long time, Young Master Liu suddenly opened his eyes with layers of sweat on his forehead.
Mr. Liu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and stood up with doubts. Looking at the four stoves in the study, he walked to the window and opened it to let in the cool breeze.
"What's going on? Why can't I calm down these days? I always feel like something important is about to happen."
"This young master has never had such a mysterious feeling in the past. Is it because the old master has sealed the inner power in my body?"
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but think of the so-called innate masters on TV in his previous life who had an inexplicable ability to perceive heaven and humans.
Raising his hand to slap on the window edge, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What on earth will happen?"
Liu Mingzhi, who had been thinking hard for a long time, had no clue. Young Master Liu sighed helplessly and walked towards the door.
"Yun'er, are you in the room?"
"Husband, I am sewing a new jacket for Yaoyao in the room. What can I do for you, husband?"
Liu Mingzhi pushed the door open and walked in. Qi Yun was sitting at the table, cutting a piece of light green patterned fabric. When she saw her husband walking in, Qi Yun smiled and raised her hand to pat the snowflakes on her husband's body.
"How's it going? Have you broken through to the fourth level?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head silently: "I have no clue. My husband has been unable to calm down these days. Now I have nothing to do during the bathing period. Let's go out of the city to enjoy the snow?"
"Now?"
"Yes, I just took a look at the sky. The snow should stop in half an hour. It's the best time to go out and enjoy the snow."
"As a husband, I just go out and relax. I don't know why I always feel uneasy now. My thoughts are confused even when I'm stuck at home. It's always good to go out for a walk!"
"Okay, I will stay with you, and I will tell Sister Lian'er and the others."
"Everyone should say something, and Qing Shi should also say something. It's up to them whether they go or not."
"I know."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Yun's back as she left the house, walked to the dressing table and looked at the four treasures of the study that Qi Yun always kept, and started writing on the rice paper.
After a while, Young Master Liu put away the rice paper and folded it: "Liu Song!"
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Send the golden eagle that Yue'er left behind in the letter to the Kingdom of Jin. I haven't seen the two of them for a long time. The young master plans to go to Shanhaiguan to enjoy the snow and invites them to come together."
"As soon as she saw me, she told me that I had no conscience and forced me to eat a big carrot."
"Yes, little one, go right away!"
"etc!"
"Master, tell me!"
"Ask Xiaowu and the others to bring some heavy and warm felt tents, stoves, and quilts, and go ahead. They may not be back tonight. Since they are out, let's take some time to relax."
"knew!"
After half a day, Young Master Liu and his party rode out of the mansion and rushed towards Shanhaiguan outside the city.
Liu Xuan and Yun Xiaoxi were also caught in the process, taking the lead with Liu Yiyi and the other little guys, chatting and laughing, and rode out of the city at a leisurely pace.
Young Master Liu looked at the backs of his children and shook his head with a chuckle. Reading did not necessarily make any progress, but he said that they were all very proficient in riding and shooting.
I really don't know if this is good or bad.
Looking at the people talking and laughing on the street and clearing away the snow, Liu Mingzhi felt extremely comfortable. This was the life he really wanted to see.
Neighbors are harmonious and prosperous.
When Qi Ya and the other girls looked at their husband and the people on the street, they felt proud in their hearts with the smiles on their lips.
This is your husband, a great virtuous person who can rule the country when he mounts his horse, and he can rule the country when he dismounts.
"Husband, are you very happy to see that the people under your rule live such a prosperous life?"
"Yes, Sister Ya is right. I remember when we first came to Yingzhou City, the city was full of gloom and gloom, and smiles were rarely seen on the faces of the people. Looking at it now, it's really an earth-shaking change."
"In just two years, the entire Yingzhou has been filled with vitality. Compared with the prosperous land of plenty, the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are not far behind."
"Especially now that the mutual trade has extended to Fuzhou, not only Yingzhou, but also the people's livelihood in Fuzhou has been greatly improved."
"A few days ago, I, my sister, went to the street to buy rouge and gouache. The people were full of praise for you, the Governor!"
"Yan'er can testify that the people praise you sincerely, not out of compliment. The looks on their faces cannot be deceiving."
The girls praised their husbands one by one, and Liu Mingzhi was naturally very happy.
Good words are always pleasant to the ear.
"If you continue to praise me, I will never be able to find my husband. The prosperous scenes in Yingzhou and Fuzhou are not due to my husband alone."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are indispensable for their help. Without the help of these two ministries, the Guanhui Mutual Market here would not be as prosperous as it is today."
"More importantly, although we are an enemy country, you and I, as husband and wife, speak from the heart to each other. The help of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks is indispensable for this."
"Although the two countries are motivated by interests, you can't always look at other people's shortcomings, and you should also discover some of others' strengths when appropriate."
"The mutual trade here has brought short-term peace to the three countries, and countless merchants and people have benefited from it."
"This alone is enough."
The girls looked at their husbands with complicated expressions thoughtfully, seeming to understand something.
"Husband, if you don't become an official, you will definitely become a great scholar."
"That's great, ladies. Let's have a competition after we leave the city gate. Whoever gets to Yingzui Rock in Shanhaiguan first will be given priority to get the reward of sleeping with me tonight. You must seize this opportunity."
"The opportunity will never come again before it is missed."
"Pooh"
"shameless!"
The secret moans of the girls could be heard endlessly, but their pretty eyes were filled with eagerness to try.
After all, we are an old married couple, and no one knows each other.
There are many sisters, and they can occupy as many husbands as they can every day.
After leaving the city gate, all the girls except Wenren Yunshu looked at each other and galloped away. Wenren Yunshu hesitated for a moment and then walked slowly beside Young Master Liu.
After all, they haven't slept together in the same bed yet, so compared to Qi Yun and others, it is inevitable that they can't let go.
Young Master Liu rode his horse close to Wen Ren Yunshu, grabbed Wen Ren Yunshu's white wrist and patted it: "Shu'er, let's catch up together. If you don't gallop after riding out, you won't be living up to the beautiful scenery given by God in front of you.
!”
"Just do whatever you say, Shu'er will listen to you."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled a few times and galloped away, followed closely by Wenren Yunshu.
A long series of horse hoof prints were left on the snow, from the city gate to Shanhaiguan Pass.
As dusk fell, Liu Yiyi and the other little guys were once again chased by the unscrupulous father with snowballs in their hands. They were running around Shanhaiguan. Several tents were set up in the open space of Shanhaiguan, and smoke was rising from the cooking pots.
A dozen riders from the north came slowly.
The little cutie put on her expensive coat and rode on the horse, looking at her brothers and sisters running around and looking at the queen beside her.
"Mom, it's dad!"
The queen, who was dressed in a snow-white Confucian robe and a fox fur cloak, nodded slightly: "There are a few of the aunts you came here with special status. Don't forget what my mother told you!"
"I understand, you are not allowed to expose the identities of mother and Yue'er. Why did you come from the north and say that Yue'er went to the Kingdom of Jin to do business?"
"Just remember, go play, and fix your heartless father."
The little cutie nodded heavily, turned over and dismounted, grabbed a handful of snow and rushed towards Young Master Liu.
"Brother, sister, Yue'er is here to help you!"
Young Master Liu accompanied his wife and children to fight in Shanhaiguan. A group of Hongzhang messengers, holding their flags high, galloped into Yingzhou City and headed directly towards the Governor's Mansion.
"Hush!"
"I am the urgent courier from Hongzhong, eight hundred miles away from the capital. Where is Liu Mingzhi, Duke of Dingguo?"
The door of the Governor's Mansion opened in response, and Du Yu, fully armored, hurried out with a lantern.
"Du Yu has met the general."
The Hongling messenger glanced at Du Yu and took out a secret letter from his arms.
"Your Majesty has an order to urgently summon Liu Mingzhi, Duke of Ding, to return to Beijing immediately."
"This matter is urgent. I would like to trouble General to inform Duke Ding to receive the order."
Du Yu was startled and looked at him in surprise: "General, my master left the city and is not in the house now!"
"What should we do? Does the general know where Duke Dingguo has gone?"
"I don't know. Your Excellency said you will be back early tomorrow morning. Now that night has fallen, I cannot rush back to Beijing right away even if I find my Excellency."
"Excuse me, messenger. I will send someone to my house later to inform my lord that he will come back immediately to receive the order tomorrow morning!"
Hongling Messenger hesitated for a moment and nodded, knowing that what Du Yu said was true.
Winter is not comparable to summer. Now even Liu Mingzhi is at home and can't go on the road. The official road is frozen at night and the carriage cannot drive at all!
Otherwise, it would not take about ten days to reach Yingzhou after a five-day journey.
"Thank you, General. We must inform Lord Dingguo that this is an extremely urgent matter and cannot be delayed!"
