Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

The continuous spring rain was unknowingly overturned by the torrential summer rain. After the heavy rain stopped for an hour, it began to fall patteringly, and the tiles crackled.The rainwater dripped on the floor tiles along the eaves, and the water splashed everywhere, while the potholes on the floor tiles quietly told the years of wind and rain it had experienced.

In the inner garden of the governor's mansion, there were bursts of lamentation from the woman, and the old maid who had served the woman for many years asked, "Why is the lady sighing again?"

The woman stared at the rainwater outside the pavilion, and the melancholy in her heart seemed to be shared by only the old servant girl, and she said: "This yamen house has not been repaired for many years, and it is very dilapidated, and the pillars are also rotten. One part of the building collapsed and injured the subordinates, and the master was very worried about it. It's a pity that I live in the inner garden, so I can't help him a little bit."

The old servant girl was puzzled and said, "Why didn't your lord go to the court and ask for funds for repairs?"

The woman cried and laughed: "I used to live in Luoyang, so I didn't understand it until I came here. The so-called 'officials don't repair yamen', how can the imperial court allocate so much money to repair yamen everywhere? Besides, there are more than 30 buildings in Shangzhou. The government office is waiting to be repaired, how can the imperial court take care of this small government office in Xiazhou? It may cost more than 4 yuan to repair this government office, and the master and I can't afford it!"

The old maid was slightly surprised, the woman rubbed her forehead, and asked again: "Yes, why don't you see Jin Xin today?"

The old maid said: "Little lady went to the kitchen to make some rice dumplings today, and then left the house."

The woman was surprised: "Why does she suddenly want to go to the kitchen to make zongzi?"

"I heard that the little lady of the Liu family likes to eat, and the little lady went out of the house to find her."

"It's okay to go out for a walk once in a while, but don't always go out to show your face, next time you remember to remind her." The woman said, and the old maid agreed.

When Liu Jinxin went to Liu's house to look for Liu Xiu, she once ate zongzi made by the servants of Liu's family. The zongzi was made of glutinous rice produced in Lianghu and filled with bacon and nuts. Although it was very fragrant, she couldn't get used to it.Liu Xiu asked: "Zongzi doesn't suit my sister's taste?"

"En." Liu Jinxin responded lightly.

Liu Xiu asked curiously, "What kind of zongzi did my sister eat?"

Liu Jinxin said: "I'll bring some for you to taste next time."

"I want to eat something made by my sister!"

Liu Jinxin replied: "Okay, then I will make it for you next time."

After finishing speaking, she was slightly taken aback, not understanding why she had become so soft-hearted, and Liu Xiu was the only one who dared to let her cook and make zongzi herself.But seeing Liu Xiu's happy appearance, she thought to herself, that's all.

Most of the zongzi in Chang'an and Luoyang are Aixiang zongzi, and they are praised as "white as jade".When Liu Xiu tasted it for the first time, she was also full of praise, saying: "My sister's cooking skills are really good, and this rice dumpling is very delicious!"

Liu Jinxin looked at her in astonishment for a moment, and then giggled, how could she not know what the rice dumplings she made were like?Moreover, Liu Xiu, who was used to the taste of rice dumplings here, was full of praise after the first bite, which seemed to be deceiving herself.

Liu Xiu's bright eyes suddenly lit up, and she said: "My sister is already beautiful, but she is even more beautiful when she smiles!"

Liu Jinxin just remembered that it seemed that it was the first time that he smiled so comfortably in front of her.Recalling the teachings of her parents, she restrained her smile, and her heart felt empty for some reason.She looked at Liu Xiu, the feeling of emptiness seemed to have disappeared a lot, and she felt a little happy again.

"If you are a man, you should be called glib." Liu Jinxin blamed.

Liu Xiu didn't take it seriously: "I'm just telling the truth, no one can deny the beauty of my sister, right?"

Liu Jinxin shook her head, seeing that Liu Xiu had finished eating all the zongzi she brought, she was slightly surprised, thinking that her previous idea was wrong, it seems that Liu Xiu really likes to eat.He said: "It will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon, I will make some for you some other day."

Liu Xiu said happily, "Did you do it for me?"

It was only after she mentioned Liu Jin's Heart Sutra that she realized that her wording was so imprecise and she spoke from her heart.She had to admit: "Yes, for you."

"Okay!" Liu Xiu was overjoyed.

When Liu Jinxin left the Liu family's mansion, she heard from the Liu family's servants that her father, Liu Zhengfang, had left the Liu family. She was very puzzled. According to her father's official position, it should be Liu Tuanlian's deputy envoy who went to see him. , why did he come here in person?

When I returned to the Governor's Mansion, I happened to meet Liu Zheng who was about to return to the Inner Garden after finishing his work. Liu Zheng stared at her for a moment and asked, "I heard that you have been very close to the young lady of the Liu family recently?"

Liu Jin's heart beat slightly faster, and she didn't dare to hide it, so she said, "Yes, she often invites me to visit Liu's house."

Liu Zheng let out a "huh" and stopped talking.Liu Jinxin asked: "Dad, did you encounter any difficulties related to the Liu family?"

Liu Jinxin has always been smart and calm, so Liu Zheng reassured: "It's hard to say whether this matter has anything to do with the Liu family. The house has been in disrepair for a long time, something happened a few days ago, and the court refused to allocate funds to repair this book that is related to Liu's family. It has nothing to do with the family, it's just the money to repair the house, I'm afraid father will have to figure out a way for himself."

Liu Jinxin contacted Liu Xiu, and seemed to realize something: "So Dad wants the Liu family to help pay some money?"

Liu Zheng nodded: "The Liu family violated the imperial court's laws and operated and owned land here."

Although Liu Tuanlian did not personally operate the business, he obtained benefits for his younger brother through his position. At the same time, he ignored the imperial court's decree that the incumbent local officials were not allowed to handle the land, and purchased it in the name of Liu's family land. More than 20 hectares of land.

"Father wants to impeach the Liu family?" Liu Jinxin said in panic, her temples throbbing.

"Who said I'm going to impeach the Liu family?"

The Liu family has been operating here for nine years and has stood firm, so it is obviously not suitable to be shaken.Liu Zheng's foundation here is not stable, and he doesn't want to offend him, but he has to spend some money to fill the gaps in the court's renovation of houses and other aspects.

Liu Jinxin breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew Liu Zheng's temper very well, he just didn't move the Liu family temporarily, if something happened to the Liu family one day, how would she face Liu Xiu?

Thinking of Liu Xiu, Liu Jin's heart sank.

Deputy envoy Liu Tuanlian finally agreed to spend more than 3 yuan to help Liu Zheng repair the Yamen, and this move was unanimously praised by the Yamen.Liu Zheng's anguish of being demoted has also changed with the passage of time, and because of being demoted this time, he began to reflect on himself constantly.

He easily climbed to such a high position by relying on the shade of the door, so he has always been very rigid.Friends also kept writing to him, and he had to agree with their statement that he had indeed touched the emperor's bottom line when he made a direct remonstrance. "Wei Zheng" is not so easy to be, not to mention that the emperor just demoted him, even Li Shimin, who is tolerant and generous, wanted to kill Wei Zheng several times.

After he figured it out, Liu Zheng turned a blind eye to the behavior of some officials, including Deputy Envoy Liu Tuanlian. He took advantage of them and occasionally beat them, asking them to spit out some money and use it for A place where the people seek profit.

Within a year, roads were repaired, rivers were dredged; almshouses and Salesian Bureaus were built; and preferential policies on commercial taxes were used to attract many merchants to do business here, which led to a sudden increase in commercial taxes in Qizhou. up.

At this time, the emperor issued another decree, promoting him to Fuzhou as governor.Although both are governors, Fuzhou is much better than Qizhou, and its official position is also one level higher.But these are not important, what is important is that many colleagues including Zhang Xun asked him to be promoted, and the emperor agreed, which means that the emperor no longer holds any grudges against him!

Zhang Xun's father and Liu Zheng's father were officials in the same dynasty and got along well, so the relationship between Zhang Xun and Liu Zheng is also very good.But Zhang Xun didn't alienate him because he offended the emperor, but helped him silently, which moved him very much.

Liu Zheng was thinking about how to repay Zhang Xun, and found out in the letters between Zhang Xun that Zhang Xun had a son who was not yet married.Seeing that Liu Jinxin was not too young, and Zhang Xun's second son, Zhang Tingyu, was in the same family, he moved his mind.

Although Zhang Xun focused on cultivating Zhang Tingxuan, Zhang Tingxuan was already married, and Zhang Tingyu also missed his official career because he was not diligent and hard to learn.But if Zhang and Liu's family can get married, firstly, they will be closer, and secondly, he can be regarded as repaying Zhang Xun's kindness.

Zhang Xunzuo asked him to go to Fuzhou as the governor, not only because the governor of Fuzhou died of illness and needed someone to fill in the post, but also with a little selfishness; and Liu Jinxin married Zhang Tingyu, so he didn't need to marry far away, which was also a good thing for Liu Jinxin.

After Liu Zheng and Zhang Xun reached an agreement, they settled on this marriage.

As soon as Liu Jinxin came back from the outside, her heart was still beating violently, and the old maid beside her mother came over.Thinking of her mother telling her not to run outside, and not to get too close to Liu Xiu, she was a little nervous and guilty.

The old maid showed a bright smile, which made her even more uneasy, for fear that she would turn around and complain.Unexpectedly, the old maid said: "The old maid is here to congratulate the young lady."

Liu Jinxin frowned: "Where does the joy come from?" The atmosphere in the inner house is indeed a bit strange recently, but she didn't think much about it.

If it was a year ago, she would never have been so slack and careless, but perhaps because she was too close to Liu Xiu, she learned some of her habits, so that when she faced the strange change in the atmosphere, Unable to notice and think about it.

However, this seemed to be quite good. She felt unprecedented ease and joy during the days with Liu Xiu.

Still reminiscing about today's events in her heart, two red clouds floated on her face again, which made her uncontrollably shaken.But she heard the old maid's voice ringing in her ears, like a thunderbolt, which made her face "suddenly" turn pale.

"Mr. Lang said a marriage for the little lady, and it is Mr. Erlang of Zhang Youcheng's family..."
