20. The Alcoholic Woman (1)

"Now it happens that the rebel went to the west to attack Zengshi, since he received the letter in the next, he always has to work hard, the governor has gone south from the Luzhou Mansion, to Wuwei to garrison, if the rebel dares to go west again, they will cut off their back road, let's also leave this Chuzhou Mansion, take advantage of the absence of this rebel Ercheng, go to the Yangtze River to try Hong Xiuquan's water, Lord Wang, you will transfer grain and grass in this Chuzhou Mansion."

"Yes," Wang Jinzhi didn't get mad at all at all with Li Hongzhang's disrespectful posture towards him, and responded with a smile, and suddenly thought of one more thing, looked left and right, and found no one, so he asked again, "Those people sent from Beijing, is Brother Shaoquan going to take them out?" ”

"Naturally," Li Hongzhang nodded, "The meaning of the head of the capital is not to let us take pleasure and happiness, and what kind of fame will be practiced by ruthlessness, and I will look at it coldly in Xia Suri, these people are not very contaminated with the bad habits of the Eight Banners, in the end, they are from poor families, in addition to complaining a few words, they are diligent when they are on errands, and they must be risk-free when they go here." ”

"Oh? How can Brother Shaoquan see it? Wang Jinzhi asked with interest.

"Brother Wang, do you know this "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion," Li Hongzhang drank the tea in the cup and pointed to the centuries-old antique pavilion above his head, "Which is the most famous sentence?" ”

"Naturally, 'the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to care about the mountains and rivers'."

"Exactly, Ercheng broke through the Jiangnan camp and marched west again, naturally not for anything else, but to understand the siege of Hong Xiuquan in Jiangning, and except for Ercheng, there seems to be no general in the rebellion. I went to the Yangtze River to sneak around a few times, and those rebellious leaders who were not even Liao Hua could help me, a musketeer who had been trained for more than three years! Li Hongzhang was high-spirited, judged the situation, and looked at the soft hand, which was naturally handy.

"Exactly, Brother Shaoquan is here, there is no need to conquer the city, as long as he wanders and harasses, then Hong Xiuquan will shrink in Tianjing City. I'm afraid the head wind is getting worse. Wang Jinzhi stood up. Bow your hand, "Then I'll go back to Chuzhou Mansion first and prepare grain and grass for Brother Shaoquan." ”

"There's Lord Lao."

Wang Jinzhi sat down Langya Mountain in a sedan chair, and the sedan curtain was closed. I didn't see the beautiful scenery on the mountain roads on both sides. Wait until you get down the mountain. Wang Jinzhi changed horses to ride, trembled and got on the tall horse, and asked a relative beside him, "Are the things you brought into the capital ready?" What are you preparing? ”

"Yes. The housekeeper prepared a pair of Shoushan Tian Huangshi seals, three thousand taels of silver tickets, and Mrs. also prepared a set of green jade heads, although not too expensive, it is rare that the water color is bright, and the whole set of heads is as brilliant as a color. ”

Wang Jinzhi nodded, "The preparations are proper," he turned his mind and thought about it again, "It's not appropriate, the silver ticket is replaced, and the local goods brought by our family, smoked chicken and rice wine, etc., you go yourself, and I don't worry about others going to the master." ”

"Yes, but my lord, these things are counted in bits and pieces, but they haven't arrived at a thousand taels, and if they are sent to Beijing, will the noble person see it?"

Now Li Hongzhang, the leader of the Huai Army, who is in charge of the security of a place, used to be in Beijing but was also a petty official of the Hanlin Academy, and he must not have sent money to gain the favor of the master, but to see whether he was willing to do things, thinking of this, Wang Jinzhi made up his mind, "It doesn't matter, since you are a nobleman, you are not short of money to spend, the most lacking is a loyal errand person, the master will also write a letter, and you will personally send it to Nafu." ”

"Yes."

It's not to compete with Li Hongzhang for any limelight, since he knows this road, he naturally wants to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and now the second-class Cheng'en Gong Huizheng used to deal with it when he was in Luzhou Mansion, how can he give birth to such a powerful daughter, and those things in the military are just that, the "Xianfeng Dictionary" published in the old years is really a sign of the prosperity of culture and education, no wonder the emperor published it all over the country on the Wanshou Festival, although those rotten Confucians in the school palace of Luzhou Mansion privately said that it was insulting to Sven, But I took a closer look at it, if I master the method, I don't need to be taught by others in the future, and it has the effect of unifying the pronunciation. This martial arts is indeed extraordinary, plus I heard that the Son of Heaven has asked the queen to approve the fold a few days ago, and this official career is about to rely on the queen, Wang Jinzhi thought of this, and thought of his future eight seats, majestic and majestic, his heart was hot, and he hurriedly waved his horsewhip and rushed back to Chuzhou Mansion......

Xingzhen sneezed twice in a row, in the afternoon of this mid-spring day getting warmer, there were still a few seeds of the bowl of lotus in her hand, An Dehai and Xiao Zhuzi put a few white porcelain fish tanks filled with water and slipped over, the queen wanted to plant a few bowl lotus plants by herself today, the palace was busy, some went to Fuhai to dig the silt, and some prepared the fish tank, Xingzhen personally used a small file to break open the end of the lotus seeds, threw them into the silt, and then poured water into the fish tank, no one else was allowed to help, and she entertained herself alone, The eldest brother who was led by the nurse stayed on the side and watched with interest.

After the old year entered the winter, Xingzhen changed the dormitory, and lived in the Grand Duke of Kuran, which is also known as Shuanghe Zhai, located in the northeast of the Acropolis, is a group of larger buildings in the garden, the main building is near the big pond in the north, and the scenery in the park reflects the two scenes in the water; There are also scenic spots such as the poetry hall and the depth of the lotus lotus.

The Grand Duke of Kuran, later also known as Shuanghe Zhai, imitated the Jichang Garden of Huishan in Wuxi. The northern half of this scene is in the middle of Qianlong, imitating the mountain stones of the Yunlin stone chamber of Panshan Jingji Mountain Villa, and the stones are stacked. Jiaqing poems praise Shuanghe Zhai said: The structure of the year is deep imitation of Huishan, and the famous garden is free and quiet. The curved and steep pine is particularly mao, and the small hole is rugged and the stone is not stubborn. It's a great view.

Xingzhen happily planted a bowl of lotus seeds in the fish tank, and a spring breeze blew, but she sneeze twice involuntarily, and hurriedly covered her nose with a handkerchief clamped in front of her chest.

Anqian hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xingzhen, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" It can't be a chill, right? ”

Xingzhen woke up her nose, shook her hand and said, "It's out of the way, it's over there in my hometown...... When I was outside the palace, I heard that there were two sneezes in a row, and someone was talking about the palace, and I guess who was talking about me. ”

"Presumably, it's also a good thing to talk about Niangniang," Tang Wufu stepped forward and handed over a cloak, "Niangniang is so kind, people in the world always chant Buddha and praise Niangniang." ”

The eldest brother led the nurse over, although he was just babbling, calling "Mom, Mom" to come over and ask for Xingzhen. (To be continued......)
