Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

The little girl blushed even more, and shook her head in panic: "Don't..."

......

In the end, Shi Congyun still didn't have the slender feet he dreamed of. The little girl was very vigilant, but he put Zhao Shijian on the chair and stood beside him, telling her his plan one by one.

No way, ask someone, even if Zhao Shijian asked him to kneel down and call his mother at this time, he would not say a word.

Zhao Ying, the former prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, has been in other towns and places, and her influence still exists even after more than ten years, because [-]% of the officials of this dynasty have served in several dynasties, and many officials have served in the Jin Dynasty. This is the Five Dynasties. Features of the Ten Kingdoms.

Zhao Ying is also a high-ranking person with a good temper. According to historical records, he has a gentle personality and is always good at getting along with others. Therefore, many people have been cared for by him, and there must be many who are grateful for his kindness.

In this way, Zhao Shijian has become a wealth of political connections.

The key is to see if the people who use her will spend the money......

However, Zhao Shijian refused immediately after hearing his idea, and said that it was not good for his grandfather's reputation. Her grandfather had already been buried in the earth. To let his heroic soul live in peace and sleep on the green hills at night, future generations must not do anything in the name of their ancestors that would be detrimental to the lintel. thing.

Shi Congyun didn't care about this, he just thought: Your grandfather is dead, he knows shit.

But these words can't be said, otherwise Zhao Xiaoniang will fight him desperately.

People today can trust this.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has prevailed, and the princes and nobles have given Buddhists a lot of favorable treatment, which has been affecting to this day. There are many people who believe in Buddhism, whether in the people or in the royal court.

People all believe in the Buddhist doctrine of karma and reincarnation, and believe in karma, saying that all actions have consequences, good has good results, and evil has bad results.

Zhao Xiaoniang didn't want his grandfather's reputation to be damaged, and she was also afraid of damaging the karma and retribution of her ancestors.

Shi Congyun was in a hurry at this time, and shameless, hugged the little girl's thigh and said, "Auntie, I kneel down for you, think about how good I have been to you in the past, is it worth your help me this time."

Zhao Xiaoniang raised her head and thought for a while, she was a little dazed, and finally shook her head.

Shi Congyun was even more anxious, and immediately stopped pretending, stood up and said fiercely: "If you don't help me, I will roll up the bed and move it to your house tonight to sleep, and I will never come out again."

"You rascal!" The little girl's pretty face flushed red, anxious.

The two froze for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.

Shi Congyun is a veteran in this regard. At the beginning, he had the best way to deal with problem students. The so-called hit a big stick to a sweet jujube. The most important thing is to be able to change his face and be shameless.

If a man wants to be soft and hard, he will only always be soft and people will think you are incompetent, but will only be hard and people will think you are difficult.

In short, we must always grasp the atmosphere and be able to find the right time to speak.

So his tone gradually softened, and he said in a gentle manner: "Think about who Li Gu is, how well-known Li Xianggong is now, how much he has done for the country and the people, and for the people and the army.

Who in today's Great Zhou Kingdom mentioned that he didn't think he was a good person, how could dealing with him ruin your grandfather's reputation?

say i... i...

Cough, okay, although it is true that I have nothing to say in Dazhou for the time being, but my father is the number one general of Dazhou and the second in command of the front office. Who knows the name of bravery and good fighting?

How can talking for my dad ruin your grandpa's reputation?

If in the future my father expands the territory, and the South and the North wars will leave a splendid stroke in the history of youth, future generations will still be grateful for your grandfather's kindness! "

Shi Congyun said a lot with his tongue eloquent, and slowly the little girl became a little bit moved, and he let go of his previous threats.

"I... can try it for you, but you have to make sure you don't ruin Grandpa's reputation..."

"Yes, yes, that's for sure, I swear to God, I've never lied to someone," he swore.

Zhao Xiaoniang couldn't stand his offensive and nodded in agreement.

Shi Congyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's go out and pour out the foot-washing water by the way."

Zhao Shijian couldn't help giving him a blank look, he seemed to be used to it, and said helplessly in a low voice: "Vertical, thick-skinned, will bully others..."

......

The next day, Shi Congyun specially took Zhao Shijian to the best tailor shop in the city to order several sets of fine silk clothes.

He also picked out some beautiful gold and silver jewelry from Dad's five carts and gave them to her.

The aunt and the aunt are very relieved to know this, and feel that their son has grown up.

As everyone knows, Shi Congyun just thought that Zhao Shijian, as a tool person, must create a feeling that he treats Zhao Shijian very well, and the Shi family raises Zhao Shijian as a daughter.

In this way, if Li Gu remembers Zhao Ying's kindness, he will be grateful for his kindness to Zhao Shijian, and he will be able to help him.

After careful dressing up, Zhao Xiaoniang's beauty couldn't be concealed.

Even Shi Congyun began to worry vaguely from the bottom of his heart, such a beautiful little girl, do you want to find a place to hide by herself? There are too many powerful people in the capital, what if they are seen by others.

Of course, this was just a passing thought, because he was covered by his father.

But thinking about this matter, Shi Congyun suddenly found that there are more powerful people in the capital than his father!

A sense of crisis suddenly came to my mind. If nothing else, what if Guo Rong wanted Zhao Shijian to enter the palace?

There is absolutely nothing he can do!

The power of the emperor these days is unchecked, not bound by laws, morals, or even public opinion. If Guo Rong sees Zhao Xiaoniang's intentions one day, as long as he opens his mouth, everyone will think it is right and proper, and he can't resist at all!

It was the first time Shi Congyun had this kind of thought, and he was a little flustered and afraid. Maybe this is the nature of human beings, the true qualities of men...

Inexplicably, he was longing for something.

Chapter 56, Li Gu Returns to Beijing

Zhao Xiaoniang did not wear skirts in the past, because it was not easy to do things and serve him.

Now I have changed to a light-colored Luo skirt, the skirt is inlaid with dark gold color, and I wear a plain women's dress with long and wide sleeves. The black hair is not tied at the back as easily as in the past, but is braided into a beautiful hibiscus bun, which is inserted into A simple silver hairpin was decorated, the pink and lovely earlobes had no decoration, and the snow-white neck leaked out.

Zhao Shijian's face seems to have determination written on her face. If you look closely, it is because the bridge of her nose is relatively straight. Her daily labor makes the outline of her small face more obvious, and people can't help but feel pity when they look at it.

Shi Congyun became more and more impulsive and hurry up to hide her.

Looking at his fiery eyes, Zhao Shijian was also a little scared, and whispered: "I'll just try, I'll take it off and return it to you right away."

Shi Congyun inherited his father's genes. Although he is young, he is already very tall. Zhao Shijian is very petite in front of him, and even a little weak and helpless.

Every time Zhao Xiaoniang is in front of him, she will feel full of oppression, and Zhao Shijian can only reach his shoulders in terms of body shape.

Shi Congyun took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart, "I gave it to you, keep it well, I will take you to see Li Gu tomorrow, as we agreed."

......

Li Gu's mansion is located on the East Street opposite the Daxiangguo Temple. The mansion is very large and the facade is relatively simple.

All the arrangements in the mansion are very stylish, mainly elegant, with few bright tones, and they are very particular. Different from the layout of the east and west courtyards of the Shifu, the Li Mansion is mainly laid out in the front and rear courtyards.

Entering from the gate is a screen of pine cranes with a white jade base.

There are also crane-shaped carvings on the eaves of the corridors on both sides.

It can be seen that the owner is influenced by Taoism and is very fond of cranes.

This trend is relatively common.

For example, the main force of the front division of the Great Zhou Imperial Palace is the iron cavalry and the control crane.

In this era, cranes are auspicious and closely related to gods.

Li Gu originally preferred Taoism, not only from the style of the mansion, but also from his actions.

As early as the time of the late emperor Guo Wei, Li Gu accidentally fell under the steps in the morning and injured his right arm. During the leave of absence, he went to the table to resign three times.

Guo Wei did not allow it, but only granted him a gift to exempt him from running around in the court, allowing him to only work in the official office and not have to go to the court.

Li Gu is very similar in character to Zhang Liang, who was a sage in the early Western Han Dynasty.

It was not easy for the emperor to find a competent person, and he was reluctant to let him go.

During the Later Jin and Later Han Dynasty, Li Gu was heavily used, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei still refused to let him go.

In Guo Rong, Li Gu presided over the collection of food and grass for the Northern Expedition army and the important events of Taiyuan siege equipment and siege deployment.

In the past two days, Li Gu has not returned to the mansion for a long time, and has been busy for more than a month.

Except for the important officials in the court, not many people know about it.

In late summer, heavy rains fell in Henan and Hebei, and the Yellow River flooded, affecting several states along the coast.

In some areas, the Yellow River burst, submerging Qi, Yun and other prefectures, and the people were deeply affected by floods.

The official family, Guo Rong, is in urgent need of capable people to organize rescues and rescue the people.

It is natural to think of Li Gu, who just came back from Gaoping and wrote a "living record" for a few days.

In fact, it was Li Gu's own request to write a living record. The purpose was to ignore important things and relax. Unexpectedly, when the Yellow River burst its banks, the officials glanced around in the court, and finally their eyes fell on him.

Li Gu was then ordered to lead more than ten prefectures of migrant workers to block the Yellow River, complete the work on time, relieve the disaster, save the people from water and fire, and make the Zhou Dynasty more loved by the people.

Li Gu himself returned to the capital in a low-key manner from Fengqiumen in an ox cart on the eighth day of September.

On the day they returned to Beijing, the official family sent their confidant, Wang Pu Wang Wenbo, to lead the East and West banned troops to greet him outside the city, and also sent many cloth brocades, gold and silver tea leaves, and rare items from various places as rewards.

After returning home, Li Gu did not go out for five days in a row, and as usual, refused to visit anyone who came to visit.

After a series of rest, it was difficult to adjust the tired body and mind.

Li Gu is already 51 this year, and his back is a bit rickety due to years of running around. He used to be a tall man who is good at riding and shooting, but now he is over fifty and shows his old appearance.

......

At noon, the sun was just right on the beam, and the autumn cold entered quietly, dissipating a lot of heat, and the remaining warmth was not much, especially for an old man like Li Gu, the sunlight always felt that there was not enough.

He was reclining comfortably on a Hu bed, with a fine white tiger skin from the Nüzhi Kingdom in the northern snow forest as a tribute, which was given to him by the official family.

Li Gu waved slowly, and the old servant beside him covered him with a thin blanket.

"Is there anything important these days when I'm not at home..." He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"In August, the officials asked Han Zhaoyuan to serve as the right servant and the prince and Taibao to serve; Yang Ningshi was asked to use the left servant to serve as the prince and Taifu; and Li Su was asked to serve as the prince and Taishi..." The old servant agreed.

Li Gu didn't speak, thinking that these people were either old or incompetent, and the officials arranged for them a way back and let them go to work, freeing up their positions.

It must be to let Wang Pu and other confidants go up.

Li Gu also wanted to become an official, but the officials did not agree, so he sighed with emotion: "There are still many things in the world that are not obtained, so why do you always insist on being in the world?"

The old servant next to him did not speak, silently observing the expression of the owner of the family, feeling that he had recovered from his feelings, and then continued: "The official family also ordered the Songzhou patrol inspector to serve the official and deputy governor Zhu Fenglin in Ningling County.

Because he sat and watched as thieves plundered merchant ships and did nothing, and did not catch thieves. "

Li Gu nodded: "He is looking for a dead end, the government is determined to make progress, he is still holding on to the previous style, thinking that big things will be turned into small things, and there may be fools who will suffer similar losses in the future..."

The old servant didn't interrupt, just stood beside him, and after Li Gu finished speaking, he continued: "Wang Wenbo also came once, and went back without seeing the owner."

"He probably wants to tell me about the next year's attack on Shu..."

After a while, Li Gu asked, "Has Shi's child been here yet?"

"Well, I came back five times after that, but he didn't let him in. He left his things outside the door and left. I packed them up and came in..."

Li Gu nodded, but didn't mean to blame, "He's a smart boy."

"By the way, something happened to the Shi family recently. The two military divisions had to adjust their schedules, and many people ran to the Shi's house. Then Shi Congyun directly had the gate of the house sealed with wooden boards." Shi's house and He The Li Mansion is opposite the Daxiangguo Temple, not far from each other, and many things spread quickly. This matter has already spread in the inner city, and the old servants are talking about it as a joke.

"Oh" Li Gu squinted slightly, "it's smart."

He went on to say: "At the beginning, I was quick to leave the door for him in Gaoping, but I didn't think he was thick-skinned at such a young age.

The young people he had met in the past had refuted him a few times, and he had been treated coldly a few times. Naturally, they were either ashamed or angry, and they retreated.

But Shi Congyun, shameless at such a young age, is really a strange person.Xiang Xun also said that he was like his father, but this old man doesn't look like him at all..."

Li Gu shook his head as he spoke.

The old servant next to him said with a smile, "Master is praising him and saying that he is not." His name is Sun Zhou, and he has been with the head of the family for decades.

"I don't know either, but nine times out of ten, such people are troublemakers and troublesome, so it's best to stay away, not to provoke or ignore them.

The old man doesn't want to get involved, he needs to let go when he should let go, otherwise he will invite disaster and misfortune. "

"Then next time he comes, I will say that the husband is not there." The old servant Sun Zhou agreed.

"Well, let's do that."

......

The two talked for a while, until the sun began to move westward from overhead.

The concierge walks through the courtyard promenade and steps in on blue bricks.
