Chapter 252: When Will the Bright Moon Be There (Part I)
Time flies, almost in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.
Li Chengqian held a piece of moon cake in his hand and inspected the Yicang that was already full of grain: "Old horse, you did a good job this time, if you survive this famine safely, you should be the first to take the lead." ”
Ma Zhou, who was already so thin that he couldn't see his human appearance, had a bitter face: "Your Highness, don't talk about the credit or anything, when will you give the minister a few days off, and let the minister sleep well is serious." ”
"Don't think about it on vacation, the disaster relief is about to begin, and the head of Caoyun will definitely not be easy." Li Chengqian broke the moon cake in his hand and handed half of it to Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou also took it very casually, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you stole it!" ”
Moon cakes can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but at that time moon cakes were called 'Taishi cakes', and their main role was to worship the moon god.
In the Tang Dynasty, at the Qujiang banquet of the new science and technology jinshi, moon cakes were also used to reward the jinshi.
So where Li Chengqian's moon cakes come from, I don't know.
"It's good to know for yourself, don't shout." Li Chengqian winked at Ma Zhou, and didn't feel like a thief at all: "How is Jing Xuan, is your body okay?" ”
"It's been fine for a long time, and now I guess I'll go to the river again to supervise the grain transportation." Ma Zhou took a bite of the moon cake and said hesitantly.
After a few months of dredging and luck, this arrogant scholar has long lost his inexplicable arrogance, and the whole person has become free and easy, a lot more mature, and the wild and uninhibited in his bones has also been restrained a little.
"Do you think he can accept the affairs of the water superintendent?" Li Chengqian gnawed the moon cake in his hand little by little, and asked Zhengse.
"It's not a big problem, Your Highness wants to transfer me away? Didn't you just say that I was busy with disaster relief, and that I couldn't take it easy! A trace of reluctance flashed in Ma Zhou's eyes, in order to fill the Yicang everywhere in Longyou, he had been busy for five months without sleep, and he had everything in front of him.
Every inch of land on the embankment of the Cao Canal has left its own footprints, and every boat has left its own sweat.
"Think about it, what your Highness is talking about." Li Chengqian glanced at Ma Zhou and said disdainfully.
"You said 'Caoyun's head ......is light', yes, you really didn't mention me!" Ma Zhou recalled for a moment, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.
"Your Royal Highness has no choice, there are too many things, there are not enough people, Jing Xuan is young, and I am not at ease if the things he has not touched are handed over to him directly, so I can only wronged you." Li Chengqian was silent for a while, and explained to Ma Zhou in a low voice why he was transferred away.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be embarrassed, Ma Zhou is not a person who doesn't know the severity, everything is subject to His Highness's arrangement." In the past five months, Ma Zhou has experienced a lot of things, and he thinks that things are no longer as simple as before.
"I'm asking for your opinion, you don't have to have any burden, if you don't want to leave, this palace will never force it." The so-called twisted melon is not sweet, if Ma Zhou can't figure it out and has a pimple in his heart, forcibly transferring him away is definitely harmful.
Li Chengqian understood this truth very well, so he did not forcibly order the transfer, but chose to discuss with Ma Zhou.
"Your Highness, where are you going to transfer me, don't you make it clear that the minister has no bottom in his heart!" Maybe it's because the atmosphere is a little heavy, Ma Zhou said half-jokingly.
"There are only a few places under your Royal Highness, Shandong is too far away, and it is not realistic to transfer you to the past, so let's go to the Carboniferous Division." Li Chengqian sneered, and felt as if he had taken things too seriously.
"Hehe, as long as you don't go to Shandong, it's too far over there, and you can't see Your Highness for a long time, and the minister will miss you." It seems that after a long period of contact with Li Chengqian, people will be a little out of tune, and Ma Zhou is the same.
"Don't pull the calf for Your Highness, prepare well these days, hand over everything that should be handed over, and soon your order will come down." Li Chengqian rolled his eyelids and said helplessly.
"No, Your Highness, what am I doing in the Carboniferous Division?" Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to get up and leave, Ma Zhou hurriedly asked.
"Shanxi's carboniferous mines need to be opened, the subordinate cement factories need to be expanded, and all rivers need to be protected with cement slopes...... Anyway, there are so many things that you don't have time to sleep. Li Chengqian snorted and said to Ma Zhou a bunch of jobs that made him desperate.
"This, so much more? Your Highness, transfer Jing Xuan to me as well. Ma Zhou said with a pale face.
"Someone said something to me a few days ago, and today I will give it to you: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones...... Li Chengqian recited 'born in sorrow and died in peace', while walking out, leaving Ma Zhou stunned in the Yicang.
"Brother, I've finally found you." As soon as he came out of Yicang, Li Chengqian saw an eldest sister Li Lizhi and Wu Mei Xiaololi who followed her.
"What's wrong? What are you looking for me? Pulling Wu Mei and pulling the pigtails on her head, Li Chengqian asked rhetorically.
I don't know when this is a habit that I developed, as long as I see little Lori, Li Chengqian likes to play with her pigtails.
"Hurry up and help me write a poem, I'm going to use it to fight with 'Xiao Ming' and the fourth brother." Li Lizhi was spoiled by Li Er and Li Chengqian during this time, and when she wanted the wind to be windy and rainy, the whole person became a lot more lively, and she was about to force Li Ke and Li Tai to have no way to live.
"Lizhi, it's almost okay, your third brother was angry with you and cried last time."
Thinking that the last time Li Lizhi held a math question of 'Xiao Ming and the Dog', it was difficult for Li Ke, and after he couldn't answer, he was always called 'Xiao Ming', Li Chengqian couldn't help but say with a wry smile.
"That's the third brother's stupid." Li Lizhi was exposed, and she wrung her fingers a little shyly to justify.
"Brother Prince, hurry up and make a song, otherwise Mei'er will change her hairstyle in the future and never let you pull your hair again." As Li Liqian's ally, Xiao Lori also began to launch an offensive against Li Chengqian.
"No, what do you always do to Xiao Ke and Xiao Tai?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
"They used caterpillars to scare Sister Changle, and Li You was also fierce and charm......ing." Little Lori pouted and began to complain, and at the same time said that she was extremely righteous in a series of events.
Li Chengqian blinked helplessly, and silently prayed for Li Ke and Li Tai in his heart, hoping that the two of them would not be cried by these little girls again, because his resistance to the lineup of his eldest sister Li Lizhi + Wu Mei Xiao Loli is basically zero.
So just during the tea time, Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" was shamelessly plagiarized by Li Chengqian.
