Nine days out of Chengdu, thousands of doors into the drawing;

The grass, trees, clouds and mountains are like splendor, and there is no one between Qin.

This is from the poet immortal Li Bai's praise for the land of Bashu, the country of abundance, and the 'Qin' is 800 miles of Qinchuan, which is the first rich and fertile soil with the reputation of Tianfu; it is a pity that the first emperor in order to build Afang Palace and Lishan Qin Mausoleum, the construction caused serious soil erosion, and then a fire in Afang Palace burned for three months, and it is unimaginable how many hectares of forest were burned from this.

After the Qin Dynasty, 800 miles of Qinchuan repeatedly suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters, as well as the huge material resources needed to build Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang dynasties, countless forests were cut down, coupled with the rapid increase in population in the Guannei had to destroy forests to reclaim farmland, coupled with climatic reasons, there was not enough food supply around Chang'an City to eat, and had to go south to Luoyang several times to eat, and gradually made the praise of the country of abundance in the Guannei unworthy of the name, and was replaced by the land of Bashu that had opened up thousands of hectares of fertile land in Dujiangyan, and had a unique geographical environment. Sichuan has increasingly become a unique country of abundance in China.

At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Bashu soldiers and the people resisted the Mongolian iron hoof for nearly half a century, and were slaughtered by the Mongols several times, and all industries withered and the people's livelihood was ruined, until the Ming army entered Sichuan in the fourth year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the country of abundance, and canonized Zhu Chun, the eleventh son of the emperor, as the king of Shu, and the talented Zhu Chun among the sons ran Sichuan.

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, lived up to expectations, when the other princes were concentrating on training soldiers and soldiers, when the soldiers were strong, he was the only one who was thirsty for talent, and invited several Confucians to help govern Sichuan, and guarded the western region with etiquette, and occasionally asked the imperial court to send troops to help quell the rebellion.

Historical books evaluate the governance of Sichuan by the King of Shu: the Shu people have been in peace since then. Getting richer and richer, so that Sichuan has not prepared for military revolution for 200 years, and Chunli is also!

Mu Ningxue continued to fight small chaos, and Yunnan, which gradually stabilized, passed through Bashu, and was immediately infected by the prosperity of all industries and the rich literary style of Chengdu Mansion, and he lingered for a while. It is also that she is deeply influenced by Xu Hao, and no longer guards what gate does not go out of the second door, and walks all over the places of interest and historic sites, especially the Wangjiang Tower and the Scattered Flower Building presided over by the King of Shu. Standing upstairs and looking at the Jinjiang River, it is more than ten miles of Qinhuai.

Mu Chun was so entangled in official business that he could not leave for Beijing until the end of November, so he sent someone to inform the King of Shu to take care of him, and the daughter of the Mu family was welcomed into the palace of the King of Shu by Zhu Chun, and she was safe. Since Lan Yu was killed, Zhu Chun's wife Lan was given poisoned wine, and the position of the concubine was empty, and she was shocked when she saw Mu Ningxue.

Mrs. Mu knew Zhu Chun's personality very well, and mentioned Xu Hao a few times when she spoke. Sure enough, Zhu Chun, who was nicknamed "Shu Xiucai" by Zhu Yuanzhang, immediately extinguished his courtship thoughts, and in order to stabilize the hearts of the Mu family's daughters, he immediately established the side concubine Jin as the main concubine. and sent someone to ask the imperial court to canonize him.

Mu Ningxue therefore admired the upright King of Shu and stayed in Chengdu to play, but repeatedly refused Zhu Chun's invitation, and did not want to cause Xu Hao's misunderstanding. It's really that she knows her sweetheart's mind in such things, which can be called a small belly chicken intestines. And she kept in mind Xu Hao's caution when he went out, no matter where he went, the three hundred generals of the Mu family would never leave for a moment.

However, beauties will always be coveted for no reason. Especially for beauties with status, it is not a joke. Zhu Yuexi, the second son of the King of Shu, in order to seize the throne of the prince, actually started her idea.

Zhu Yuexi was originally a concubine, and her biological mother was the Jin family, who had just been established as a concubine, and her eldest son Zhu Yuexi's status in the palace plummeted with the death of the former Shu princess.

Zhu Yueyi thought that if he could marry the lord of the Mu family, he would naturally easily overpower his brother, and with the support of the Mu family, it would not be difficult to find out the fault of the son of the world and win the heir. Moreover, the county lord of the Mu family can be called both talented and beautiful, this alone is enough to match him, how can he let her go back to Beijing, otherwise he will regret not being at the beginning for the rest of his life.

This day is also a coincidence, Mu Ningxue was inadvertently bumped into by Zhu Yueyi when she went out, and saw a beautiful and vulgar young woman wearing a moon-white Miro shirt embroidered with a pale hibiscus, a white plain gauze skirt with green water ripples, a few hibiscus petals floating on the front and rear skirt doors, a white hosta inserted in the bun, a golden flower on the front, inlaid with vermilion rubies, and sitting in a sedan chair.

If it weren't for the front and back guarding the captain of Mu Mansion, Zhu Yueyi almost couldn't help but order his subordinates to pounce on him, and directly snatched the people back and cooked the raw rice into cooked rice.

After a long time, Zhu Yueyi sighed: "It's like the Furong Fairy in the lower realm, Concubine Xiang is in the mortal realm, I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't marry her." ”

Jin Huaien, the younger brother of the Jin family, said with a smile: "Why bother, under the water, it is not difficult to impress the county lord with His Royal Highness's talent." However, His Royal Highness must remember that Mu Wangfu is not trivial, even the prince is polite to three points, and he must not make a mistake as before, otherwise he may not be able to save his life. ”

Zhu Yueyi nodded, lifted her spirits and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet the county lord Yuning." ”

Who knew that the other person had just left on the front foot, and someone on the back foot immediately spread the news to the capital.

The words are divided into two ends, in the garden of the Xu family in the capital, Xu Hao is sitting bored in a conspicuous pavilion, there is no tea left, he is rarely holding the most expensive Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand, dressed in a noble dress.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want me to do? If you don't say anything more, I'll leave. Xu Hao shouted boredly into the flowers on the side.

"Shut up and sit honestly." Zhu Qiaoqiao's crisp voice came from the flowers.

Xu Hao had no choice but to continue to sit obediently, and after sitting for a long time, he saw Sanxi trotting over and shouting: "Grandma, grandma, the second lady went the wrong way and went to the princess's mansion." ”

"What?" Zhu Qiaoqiao immediately got out of the flowers, and asked with an unkind expression, "What's the matter with all of you?" Where did all these girls die? What about Xiangling Xiangxuan? Isn't it arranged to show the way? ”

Xu Hao eavesdropped curiously, and listened to Sanxi's defense: "Originally, the second lady came down from the frost and snow fast, Xiangling was waiting near Linxia Pavilion, Xiangxuan and others were on the way to Jiangxue Zhai, who knew that the second lady went to the bamboo forest on the trail, and it was easy for us to find it, she actually went straight to the princess's mansion, walking fast, and she couldn't catch up if she wanted to, and there was no trace of it." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao wondered: "This is strange, what is she doing over there?" ”

Xu Hao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Even Xiangling Xiangxuan has been dispatched, how do I feel that you are uneasy and kind? ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao said stupidly: "Originally, I wanted to borrow the twin sister to lure her to you, and see what the temperament of this new lady is." If she dares to try to seduce you, I will catch her handle on the spot, and I won't worry that she will obediently obey me in the future. ”

Xu Hao immediately gasped, and said in his heart, sister-in-law, you are really too bad, and said in surprise: "What about me?" The name of a lifetime will not be ruined. You can think of such a lossy trick sister-in-law, and the younger brother admires it. ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes proudly and said with a smile: "You don't know your reputation as the third young master in our family, just hook your little finger and guarantee that countless women will come to you to pick it one after another." That Geng Chunhua has always been greedy for money, and she loves vanity the most. These days, I often secretly inquire about everything about you, and this palace expects that she must have other thoughts, so he designed to capture her, but unfortunately this stupid person went the wrong way. ”

Xu Hao couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed: "You always raise your noble hand, can we change the bait?" ”

"Where can I find bait but you? Shrewd! ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao was casually coaxing her brother, while thinking in her heart, her expression suddenly changed. Surprise shouted: "By the way, why did you forget the Li family brothers over there, go quickly." ”

"Li Fang, Li Mao?" Xu Hao's expression also changed, and he hurriedly followed his sister-in-law.

Senjudo. Xu Cuitao shyly snuggled in the arms of the old lady, and the Wang family stood by the window to observe Li Mao, who was deceived by Princess Lin'an, as the saying goes, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and loves her son-in-law more and more, not to mention that Li Mao is already a talent. Except for being a little younger, there are no shortcomings.

Princess Lin'an smiled confidently and said nothing, and after a while, she quipped to Cui Tao: "Are you still satisfied?" ”

Xu Cuitao turned her head with a red face when she heard this. The old lady gently stroked her granddaughter's back, and daxiao said, "If the second girl was not satisfied, she would have slipped away a long time ago." ”

Princess Lin'an smiled knowingly and asked casually, "Where is Hao'er?" I haven't seen him for the past few days. ”

The old lady asked Yuelan: "Last night, I said that I took leave today, and I disappeared early in the morning, by the way, what about Qiaoqiao?" Their sisters haven't opened a poetry club in the past few days, so why haven't any of them come over. ”

Yuelan chuckled: "I heard that my family has purchased a batch of good Shu embroidery in Sichuan, and I want to sew new clothes for the second girl, presumably the girls are busy with this." There was a big drought near the capital this year, and the crops were not growing well, so the eldest grandmother discussed with the third young master for a few days to reduce the tenants' harvest this year. I heard the third young master say that Fengyang's hometown was bad for the locust god, and many fields had no harvest, so he had sent the second housekeeper to rush over. The third young master said that although his hometown has suffered a disaster, but in recent years, there have been bumper harvests year after year, and the imperial court taxes have been reduced and reduced at every turn, so the Mikuri grain is piled up, and the old family will definitely not starve to death, and he told the second housekeeper to go to help the poor people, but they don't have to worry about our relatives, even if they cry poor, they don't have to pay attention. ”

"Amitabha, well done." Princess Lin'an listened while saying in her heart that the real person of the Xu family is the young third Xu Hao, who said one thing at home, her father and herself did not see the wrong person, and she gave more than half of the mansion to the Xu family, this move seems to be the right move, but I don't know if Xu Hao will still be able to stand firm in the court and support the two sons after his father is old in the future.

The old lady smiled and said: "The third child has always been the best to the villager, with him, the people in the village will never be poor and hungry, and the old body can sleep steadily." ”

At this moment, Xiao Shi by the window deliberately said: "Sister-in-law, how much dowry do you want to prepare for the second girl's marriage?" ”

Hearing this, Wang smiled dryly and said: "Naturally, I won't be wronged Cui Tao, even if there are Cuiyun and Cuiliu sisters, I, as a mother, want a bowl of water to be even, and it's not good to favor one over the other." ”

The old lady knew too well the stingy and greedy nature of the Wang family, and didn't want the princess to see the joke, so she said: "Cui Tao's dowry has already been prepared, and you, as a mother, will give a dowry of 1,000 taels." ”

Wang was overjoyed in his heart, and pretended to be generous: "How dare you let your mother break the bank, I can still afford a dowry of a few thousand taels of silver." “

The old lady said with a smile: "There are two rich men in our family, Qiaoqiao and Hongye, and the old body is full of confidence, so you don't need to fight with me." ”

Seeing this, Princess Lin'an hurriedly said: "How can this be done, how can she let her sister-in-law and sister-in-law pay for it?" As long as the old lady and the wife do whatever they want, no matter how much dowry, my family is not short of money. ”

The old lady smiled and said: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, but who told me that there is still a Hao'er in my family, he has to take care of everything, and the old body can't screw him, so it's up to their younger generation to worry about it." ”

Xiao Shi came over and said: "I said at the beginning that Hao'er and Cui Tao have a deep relationship between sisters and brothers, but in fact, why don't they have a deep relationship between sisters? As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, which is also a piece of heart of Qiaoqiao and red leaves. ”

Princess Lin'an was greatly moved, and sighed: "The Xu family has a strong family affection, and I can be completely relieved to have Cui Tao as my daughter-in-law." ”

Xu Cuitao lay quietly in her grandmother's arms, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and a crystal teardrop slowly slipped down. (To be continued......)
