Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Koizumi showed all the things to Daiyu as if offering treasures.Daiyu didn't argue at all, she just tidied up those clothes with strong exotic characteristics and took a closer look, they were some exquisite and beautiful things, Daiyu liked them very much, so she tried them on right away.Coincidentally, the size fits perfectly. Koizumi said: "The girl really looks good in it, she is more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. I will tell His Highness when I go back. Your Highness must be very happy."

It's just to wear clothes, this slave should go back and learn from Zhou Hang.Thinking of Daiyu, she felt embarrassed, and she said with a straight face, "You must not say anything when you go back. If you let me know that you are obedient, I will not forgive you!"

Koizumi frowned, and muttered bitterly, "Why?"

Hui'er stepped forward and said, "Little eunuch, why do you follow what the girl told you, why bother to ask?"

Only then did Koizumi say, "The slave takes orders."

After Koizumi left, Daiyu took off her clothes and ordered Huier to put them in her cage.At that time, it was getting dark, and it was very hot outside in summer, and it got better in the evening. Daiyu and a few maids were chatting under the tree to enjoy the cool air.The big black cat Yuball walked along the courtyard wall on stilts, followed by two snowball-like kittens, Xueer and Qiuer.

Yu Wan hadn't left home for a few days, and was helping Zhou Hang collect news in the palace, and was entangled by these two when he came back.

Daiyu beckoned, Yuwan jumped down from the wall with two little white cats, and bounced into Daiyu's arms like an arrow that had been taken off its string.Zijuan brought a chilled watermelon, but Daiyu didn't finish eating a piece of it, and the fish ball and two little white cats climbed on top of her, wanting to eat her watermelon.Daiyu didn't eat much of a piece of watermelon, so she gave them a few and ate most of it.

Xue'er and Qiu'er are young and love to play. After eating, they entangle the fish balls and take them to play.The fish ball didn't seem to want to move, lying on the ground, no matter how they pushed it, it still remained motionless. One of the two cubs bit its tail, and the other kept poking its head with its claws.The fish balls are very patriarchal. Even if they bully them, they can't fight back. They are bitten and hurt, but they grit their teeth and make a grunt sound. To the two spoiled kittens, it is not a deterrent at all. none.

Daiyu and the maids laughed straight at the sight, seeing that the fish ball was being bullied so badly, they ordered Xueyan to take the two cubs down, and carried the fish ball into the bedroom by themselves.

I want to ask how the fish ball is doing, but because I don’t understand animal language, Zhou Hang is not here at the moment, so I can’t translate for her. Daiyu can only guess from its expression and movements based on its familiarity with the fish ball.Although I can't guess [-]% of what it wants to express, [-]% or [-]% of it is still there.Knowing that things were going smoothly, Daiyu didn't look for the root cause of the problem, so she let it go.

The war against Rongguo has reached its final stage.

Mingzhu City has been besieged for more than a month, and has changed from a bright pearl on the grassland to a dead city that everyone shudders at the mention of it.It is said that there was a famine in the city. Not only was there a shortage of food, but also the water source was cut off. Many people even died of starvation in the palace, not to mention the people outside the palace.Every day, crowds of people escaped from the city and surrendered. As a last resort, the king of Rongguo had to order the city gates to be strictly guarded, not to let a single person out of the city.

Outside the city, the army led by Qin Guang had been raiding and besieged for half a year. Although the victory was in sight and their morale was high, they were not used to the grassland climate after all, and they were showing signs of fatigue.

Mingzhu City is the royal city of Rongguo. The city wall is tall and well built, so it cannot be attacked for a while.

The final stage of the war is also entering a stalemate period.

When sending troops on an expedition, food and grass are the primary issue.This is what Qin Guang is most worried about. It stretches thousands of miles from the capital to the outside of Mingzhu City. Once such a long supply line is cut off, our army will turn from an advantage to a disadvantage, and the consequences will be disastrous.The most dangerous area is the hundreds of miles from Chengcheng to Mingzhu City. In order to ensure that there are no mistakes, Qin Guang sent Xiao Chenyu to patrol with two thousand light cavalry to protect the safety of the grain road.

Wu Zongping was sent to Shandong to build water conservancy projects, and the imperial decree started immediately without delay.

After getting the news, Zhou Hang approached Li Zhao and asked, "Father, do you really want Wu Zongping to go to Shandong to repair water conservancy?"

Very rare, Li Zhao didn't read the memorial today, but was playing with a chessboard. When he saw Zhou Hang, he called him over and said, "Play a game with my father." He frowned and said, "Father! Wu Zongping has contacts with Li Chengyu, don't you know?"

Zhou Hang said the truth.Wasn't he curious why Wu Zongping suddenly appeared, just like sending charcoal in a timely manner.Later, he specially ordered Yu Wan to follow him, and after receiving it, he found that he left the palace and went to a very luxurious mansion.After several investigations, I found out that it was Li Chengyu's private house.Little is known about the mansion he purchased in the name of a servant.Later, Li Chengyu also appeared in this mansion, and had a secret conversation with Wu Zongping until midnight, and he didn't know what they said.

Li Zhao nodded, "Yes", "There are many ministers who have contacts with him, so don't you need one?"

"This Wu Zongping is different." Zhou Hang said disapprovingly.

"What's the difference?" While speaking, Li Zhao had already set up the chessboard, held the black pieces by himself, and pushed the white pieces in front of Zhou Hang.After completing this series of actions, he looked up at Zhou Hang with kind eyes, showing the love and care of the younger generation.He seemed to be looking forward to what Zhou Hang would say that would impress or shock him, his eyes were smiling, and the corner of his mouth was smiling.

"Wu Zongping is different from ordinary ministers. Ordinary ministers are officials in the court, and it is inevitable to communicate with relatives and nobles. This Wu Zongping himself has an unknown origin. He claims to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and does not care about world affairs, but he communicates with the son of the former prince. I don't know why. Careful."

The two sons left by the former crown prince were very pleased with the Supreme Emperor.Li Chengtian was fine, at least on the surface he showed indifference to fame and fortune, but Li Chengyu was the complete opposite, he had been trying to meddle in the government, but he hadn't succeeded.Is there any good thing to be involved with him?

Li Zhao looked at Zhou Hang and smiled, and said, "Hang'er, it's really good that you have this insight. You need to know what his intentions are, but you and I are here to speculate, but we can't figure it out. We have to see what he wants to do. He He lived in seclusion for many years, not to be a layman, but to plan secretly and wait for the opportunity to come out of the mountain. Now that he is willing to come out, it must be the time he has been waiting for for many years. Since he revealed the imperial list, he must have his purpose. If he is not let go, how would you know? What exactly does he intend?"

Zhou Hang pursed his lips and said, "Father, aren't you afraid that he will do something in the water conservancy project?"

"Didn't Da Sinong go to Shandong to promote sweet potatoes, and I will order him to supervise the water conservancy. Wu Zongping is only responsible for the specific implementation, and he is only in charge of those craftsmen and handymen, so there will be no big disturbances." He paused at this point. Dun, "Your little uncle wrote a letter saying that he is now in Shandong, and I have replied to the letter, ordering him and Sang Sheng not to come back, and secretly observe the construction of water conservancy projects in Shandong."

Sang Sheng was very proficient in craftsman, and he could be called a living Lu Ban. Zhou Hang laughed and said, "With Uncle Sang watching, I can rest assured."

Li Zhao smiled and asked, "Why are you worried?"

Zhou Hangdao: "I'm just afraid that if he tampers with the water conservancy project, he will leave some hidden dangers, cause floods, burst dikes and other things, won't it harm the people?"

"He dares to move such thoughts, I'll kill him!" Li Zhao stared, his hostility leaked out, and the majesty of the king who looked down on the world was revealed.

Li Zhao has always been an image of a loving father in front of Zhou Hang, and Zhou Hang rarely sees his majestic side.Not to mention, men and women are just different. Zhou Hang only felt a little cute in it when he saw his mother's stern stare before, and it was not very deterrent. Seeing his father like this today really made him nervous. I feel very majestic.Zhou Hang secretly thought, no wonder the old emperor's face was slightly unhappy in the past, the princes and ministers were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Father, let's play chess."

Zhou Hang took the initiative to speak, and the father and son sat against each other and played chess.After about a stick of incense*, Li Zhao stroked the chess piece and said slowly, "Recently, the son of the Prince of Zhennan came to Beijing for an audience, please send someone to entertain him."

Zhou Hang raised his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "But the Zhennan King who guards the southwest?"

Li Zhao, who was putting chess pieces on the chessboard, said "Yes".

The King of Zhennan is the only hereditary king with a different surname who holds real power.

The first generation of Zhennan King was named Gao Tiehammer. As soon as he heard the name, he knew that he was born in a poor family and had no cultural background.But this Gao Tie Hammer was born with a good body, tall and powerful, with infinite strength, he is a rare fighter.Back then, he followed Emperor Tai*zu to found the country and made great contributions. He saved Emperor Tai*zu from danger several times. The most dangerous time was when he blocked more than a dozen roads for Emperor Tai*zu, and his body was bloody and bloody , almost dying.Later, he survived by luck, and Emperor Tai*zu became a friend of eight worshippers with him, and vowed to conquer the country and share wealth.

Gao Tiehammer is really a body made of iron, and he has made countless military exploits. He used his steps to measure and beat most of the country.

Later, the Iron Hat King was named, and Emperor Tai & Zu ordered his vassal to guard the southwest and give him military power, which really fulfilled the promise of sharing wealth and honor.In Tai*zu's reign, Gao Tiehammer naturally did his duty and obeyed his orders. He went to the palace every year to congratulate him, performed filial piety on festivals, and kept his duty as a courtier.

But after the death of Tai*zu, especially after the death of Gao Tiechui, the Gao family supported the army with arrogance, and the situation gradually became unstoppable.Although it was a meritorious service to block the harassment of barbarians in the southwest and south, it was really a problem for the court.

This generation of Zhennan king named Gao Yunxuan, in his fifties, married Princess Luoyu, the youngest concubine of the Supreme Emperor.

Princess Luoyu married into the Gao Mansion at the young age of sixteen, and she gave birth to a son at the age of 26, who is the eldest son Gao Xuanyi.Before this, Gao Yunxuan was in groups of concubines, and his sons and daughters had already given birth to a basketful of baskets.Gao Xuanyi was ranked sixth among his sons. If the imperial court had not kept pressing him not to confer the concubine son, he would not be able to be the son of the eldest son.

Zhou Hang asked: "Father, do you know how old this son is?"

Li Zhao thought for a while and said, "You're in your early twenties, I don't really remember much."

In his early twenties, slightly older than him, the son of a frontier emperor.Obviously he is a legitimate son, but there are several concubine elder brothers in front of him. Judging from the situation, his father is a lecher, and although his mother is noble, she is not very favored, so she is also an unlucky child.A person in such a situation is often said to be either a wimp or an outstanding person. Zhou Hang would like to meet him for a while to see what kind of person he is.

Lin House.

Daiyu was changing clothes inside, and Zheng Lihua hurriedly urged her outside.

"Sister Lin, are you okay, have you changed?"

"That's good, that's good..." Daiyu said while arranging her belt.Zheng Lihua still urged, and said that if Daiyu didn't come out, she would come in. They are all girls, so there is nothing taboo.After a while, Daiyu came out with a smile, stretched out her finger and poked lightly on her forehead, half angry and half angry, said: "It's like a ghost, and I have to be tidied up, just like this! "

Zheng Lihua laughed: "Good sister Lin, isn't it okay if I accompany you? Go out a little earlier, let's go shopping a little longer."

Daiyu waved her hands and said, "I know, I know, don't miss you playing!"

Said the two walked out hand in hand.

Li Feng's wife was already waiting outside the door, when she saw them coming, she bowed and said: "Girls, the cars and sedan chairs are ready."

Daiyu glanced at Zheng Lihua and said, "Understood, let's go."

It turned out that Zheng Lihua came to Daiyu that day and said that she had seen several pieces of jewelry in a jewelry shop in the capital, and she didn't know which one to buy, so she asked Daiyu to look at them.Daiyu didn't intend to go out at first, but couldn't stand her persistent begging, so she had to agree.

Sitting in the carriage, Zheng Lihua couldn't stop thanking Daiyu.

Daiyu laughed and said, "I've never seen you thank someone like this. I've said it hundreds of times along the way, and I can hear calluses in my ears. If you do this again, I won't dare to help you in the future."

Zheng Lihua hurriedly said: "I don't thank you, I don't thank you..."

The shop that Zheng Lihua was interested in was on a busy street, and when he walked to the alley, there were many people coming and going, and the carriage was too wide to get in.The two got out of the car and took a small sedan chair all the way to their destination.The jewelry shop has a nice name, "Linglong Pavilion". Daiyu looked at the door plaque and said something in a low voice, and praised it.

Zheng Lihua raised her head and said, "Sister Lin, come in quickly."

Both of them were wearing veiled hats, but as soon as they entered, the clerk recognized Zheng Lihua, it seemed that this little girl often patronized this shop.Zheng Lihua said to the clerk: "Take out all the jewelry that my son liked before, and show them to my sister."

"Hey, okay—"

The young man ran over excitedly, bowed and said, "Miss, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, and I'll get it now."

Daiyu and Zheng Lihua helped the servant girl to sit down on the armchair beside her, and the little girl from the jade shop brought tea.Hui'er lifted the cover bowl and saw that the tea was yellow and turbid, which was not good tea, so she refused to pass it to Daiyu.Zheng Lihua also waved her hands and said, "We don't drink tea, so there is no need to serve it."

The little girl stepped back, and not long after, the guy who had just gone came over with two girls and two boxes.

In each box are two pairs of head masks, a total of four sets.One set of red gold, one set of emerald green, one set of coral, and the other set of pearl flowers and hairpins made of pearls.Daiyu looked at it and said, "This picture of a green butterfly is simple and elegant, better than others."

Zheng Lihua clapped her hands and said: "I also recognized this set at first sight, but later the shop brought several sets and put them together, so I was confused and didn't know which one to choose."

While talking, a veiled girl came in from outside, followed by two heroic girls in military uniform.Although the material on them is very good, it is not the fashionable style in the capital, and it is expected that they are not from the local people.

The girl walked like a breeze, with a strong momentum, she stepped into the door and said: "If you have any good jewelry, bring them all!"

In a blink of an eye, looking at Daiyu and Zheng Lihua, her eyes lit up and she pointed.

"I want that set, wrap it up for me!"

She was referring to the Diancui butterfly that Daiyu said was simple and generous, and that Zheng Lihua liked very much.Most of the ladies in the capital are quiet and gentle, but there has never been a person who walks like this with such vigor and resoluteness. Seeing her like this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Not to mention the maids beside Zheng Lihua, they were already intimidated by him.

On the other hand, Hui'er reacted quickly, stepped forward and said, "Girl, we have already taken our fancy on this set of jewelry."

The woman didn't look at Hui'er, but turned to look at the clerk in the shop, and said, "How much they pay, I pay double the price!"
