Chapter 192 I can’t stand the enemy(1/2)
On October 16, the first year of Yongjia, Shao Xun saw the Green Willow Garden from afar.
It takes about half a year to go to the battle. If he hadn't made some money and solved the problem of military pay payment next year and the following year, he really didn't want to go.
Le Lanji is decorating her room.
She is nearly seven months pregnant, with her lower abdomen bulging high, so she should have a good rest.
But just because the child is about to come, her mood is getting more and more happy, and her face is filled with a happy smile every day.
"June occasionally spends the night in the study, and the sleeping bed here is replaced." Le Shi sat on Hu's bed, gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hands, and said softly.
"No." The servants and maids responded in unison.
Speaking of which, there are more and more servants and maids in Green Willow Garden.
In the past, more than half were from the Chengdu Palace, but this time, many people came from Nanyang, all of whom were around Lan Ji Girls' Generation, which made her very happy.
The new bed has actually been made and placed in the yard. It can be moved in immediately, then assembled and used at night.
Later Hanfu Qian once said: "The bed is three feet and five feet and five is called a bed, sitting alone is called a chess, and eight feet and a bed."
The bed is sometimes called together because "the bed is installed, so it is self-loaded". In terms of modeling, the main difference between sitting and lying on the bed is the size.
Whether the bed is sitting or lying down, it is not high. It is generally "six inches high or below", which is a little over 14 cm.
Shao Xun was not used to this, so he specially ordered people to make a higher sleeping bed to adapt to his preferences.
When guests come to visit his house, they usually don’t kneel and have a bed.
I don’t eat on a short table, but have a serious tall table.
This is his stubbornness as a modern person.
After sitting for a while, Lan Ji looked at a curtain with the help of her maid.
The curtain was sent from Nanyang, woven into Boshan brocade, with five-color tassels, which are extremely gorgeous.
Lan Ji used this kind of brocade tent when she was a child.
From now on, she will hug and sleep in the encirclement with the Lord under this brocade tent. Whenever she thinks about this, her face will flush and be infinitely happy.
Poor General Shao, when he was a soldier, he either slept on the straw mat or in the haystack with clothes. After gradually achieving success, he also slept in the coarse cloth curtain.
Now he is being led by these rich women to comprehensively improve their quality of life, and there are still things he has never seen before.
"Madam, these bead curtains..." a maid came over and asked.
Lan Ji was very happy at first, but when she heard the word "Madam", her face was a little dim and said, "You can look at the layout."
After saying that, he left the study room and came to the yard.
Several female musicians diagonally opposite have already left.
They were originally from all counties in the world and came to Luojing in the form of labor (forced labor).
Since the Han Dynasty, except for Yawu who still used good family children (five officials or children with official ranks of more than 600 stones), the rest were all "lower officials of the country" - especially during the Three Kingdoms.
When female musicians from all over the country took turns to Beijing to perform labor service as "guilty clerks", which may not be a bad thing for them. Because they were in local prefectures and counties, their lives were even worse, and they were often brought to Zou by officials to entertain guests because they were both talented and beautiful.
The leaving female musicians were given the wife of meritorious soldiers, which was a great relief for them.
Of course, everyone has different ideas and cannot be generalized.
Some female musicians may not necessarily like a poor life, and would rather continue to deal with the nobles, because they are used to such days, even as female slaves.
*******
In the afternoon, Shao Xun returned to Green Willow Garden.
As soon as she entered the door, she hugged Le in her arms and gently stroked her lower abdomen.
All the servants and maids bowed their heads and dared not look at them.
After the two entered the inner room, Shao Xun carefully helped Lan Ji to sit down, then lay on his lower abdomen and listened for a while, and smiled and said, "I haven't seen my son for half a year, and I miss him very much."
"How did you know it's your son?" Lan Ji asked gently stroked Shao Xun's face.
"How can I not know my seed?" Shao Xun stood up and said.
Lan Ji's face turned red again, and she was also a little happy.
Shao Xun quickly untied a wooden box from his waist, placed it on the table, and opened it.
Le glanced at him and was overjoyed.
Shao Xun took out a pair of pearl earrings from it - he used the pearls to pierce the ears and said "现". This was originally done by the barbarians... Nowadays, Chinese people imitate it.
At this time, eight out of ten earrings were pearl earrings, which were very popular.
Today, Lesbian combed a double-ring bun and paired with this pair of pearl earrings, which complement each other and are very bright.
She looked at the other jewelry roughly again. In fact, it was not as good as she used to use, but she still kept it happily.
These days, there are many people who are disguised, but not many are willing to pay attention to find gifts for women.
"Lu Zidao and others will come later, please follow me." Shao Xun pulled Lan Ji's hand and said softly.
"Yes." Leshi responded obediently.
Shao Xun then cared about the fetus until Tang Jian came to report that Hou Prime Minister Lu Zhi and Hebei generals had arrived.
Then he put on his clothes and pulled Les out.
"See Junhou." Lu Zhi, Wang Chan, Hao Chang, Lou Bao and Lou Quan bowed together and bowed.
"No need to be polite." Shao Xun replied, saying, "It's all my own people, come here to sit."
Le Lanji was inconvenient and only owed her a little, which was considered a gift for her.
Her eyes drooped a little, her face was a little red, and she seemed embarrassed to look at the people in front of her. At the same time, she was a little panicked, and subconsciously turned her head. When she saw Shao Xun's figure, her heart fell back into her stomach.
Lu Zhi and others raised their heads.
He was nothing, so he bowed to Le, and then sat in the pavilion by the pond.
Wang Chan and others looked at the high bulge of Concubine Princess with a complicated expression.
They "talking" with Shi Chao in Hebei, the eldest brother concubine had a posthumous son and made trouble under this banner. At that time, they didn't think there was anything, they were just a means to unite people's hearts.
But now I really saw that when the eldest brother concubine was pregnant, they all looked unnatural. After giving a hurried bow, they walked towards the pavilion in shame.
"June, the Luyang Order has surrendered." Lu Zhi's laughter came from the pavilion.
"Oh? What kind of means did Zi Dao use?" Shao Xun asked with interest.
"One, I will ask them to recruit men and soldiers, give money and grain, and form a thousand troops of Hou Guo." Lu Zhi said.
"Haha." Shao Xun smiled.
This move is a bit ruthless.
According to the system, no matter how big or small the marquis state is, it will place a thousand troops.
The question is, which year has this old calendar? What kind of world is there? How could Luyang County pay this money? Looking at the world, there are not even a few priests who have raised enough soldiers. Let alone the marquis, are you teasing me?
But from the perspective of law, there is no problem with Lu Zhi's request, and he is reasonable.
"Two, the two generals Wang and Hao brought more than a thousand troops to Luyang. When the county magistrate saw it, they pretended to be sick." Lu Zhi continued: "Now he is no longer in charge of affairs. The county government offices are assisting, and all officials respect the orders of the king and the marquis."
"Okay." Shao Xun said happily: "The Hou Xiang is really extraordinary. I thought it would take several months to slowly grind and suck, but I didn't expect it to be done so soon."
"This is due to the power of the king and the lords." Lu Zhi smiled and said, "If there were no great victory in Luoyang, Yuzhou and Hebei, it would not be that easy."
"I'm too humble. It's your credit, it's yours." Shao Xun waved his hand.
Lu Zhi did not argue. At this time, Wang Chan and others had already taken their seats and said again: "I have received a letter from the king and the lord. I have known about the prophecy and rumors."
Wang Chan and others subconsciously sat upright.
Shao Xun also put away his smile and listened quietly.
Lu Zhi didn't know other talents, but he was really good at packaging character designs.
Shao Xun knew more or less about who the King of Chengdu Sima Ying was, but Lu Zhi simply packaged him as a wise king. He had a very good reputation in Hebei and received the support of most of the gentry.
Later, Sima Ying became the crown prince, and she became dissatisfied and refused to listen to advice. In the end, her character collapsed and revealed her true face, which made people disappointed. In this way, there are still people in Hebei who are under the banner of Sima Ying to cause chaos.
Even in history, the entire late Western Jin Dynasty and the early sixteen countries can be regarded as a battle between Sima Ying and Sima Yue forces in a broad sense.
Are Liu Yuan, are Liu Cong and his son not appointed by Sima Ying?
When Yecheng was about to be defeated, Liu Yuan had even brought 20,000 people to support him, but it was too late and was eventually persuaded by his subordinates to withdraw.
Shi Le and Ji Sang were even more from Sima Ying's former general Gong Shifan. He started his first pot of gold and relied on gathering the remaining soldiers of the Gong Shifan.
Simply put, Liu Yuan was assigned to the officials given by Sima Ying and led the Huns in this name.
Shi Le and others were assigned to Sima Ying's troops and stir up trouble.
Shao Xun was assigned to Sima Ying's wife, but he didn't lose money. He borrowed a chicken to lay eggs, and the first child would be born.
People and ghosts are showing off, but Sima Ying's family is killed, and it is miserable.
"There are many people who believe in prophecies and rumors, and there are also many people who think they are nonsense." Lu Zhi said: "From the perspective of the emperor, believing or not, it depends on the overall situation. When the emperor needs the king and the prince to serve his life, even if he believes it deeply in his heart, he has to endure it. Only after he has overcome the difficulties in front of him can he have the opportunity to settle the score in the autumn. The Grand Tutor may also believe it, but he will have no choice but to deal with the king and the prince for a while."
