Chapter 021: Blood Splattered Peach Blossom Fan
@@@
The sun in late April was already a little hot, and the willows in front of Meixiang Lou looked delicate and weak, fluttering softly in the wind.
Li Xiangjun wears a golden silk butterfly hairpin on her temples, a thin gold silk smoky green veil, and a pleated skirt of scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, which sets off her delicate posture like a budding bud.
She snuggled up on the couch, and carefully sent a letter from Qin Mu through the post house, Qin Mu had been away from Nanjing for more than a month, but a letter would be sent to her every three or two days.
In addition to a few words of greeting, and sometimes even no greetings, each letter has only one poem. Unconsciously, reading Qin Mu's letter has become a part of Li Xiangjun's life, and it has become the thing she looks forward to the most every day.
The letter paper was unfolded, the handwriting on the paper was a little sloppy, it seemed that the pen was in a hurry, there was only one poem "Sheng Chazi" on it, Li Xiangjun looked at it, he was a little stupid, and muttered in his mouth:
The short flame removes the residual flowers, and the night is silent for a long time. Tired of dancing, but smelling chickens, secretly feeling that Qing Aya is wet.
The sky and water are connected to the darkness, and the southwest is white. If you want to cross Huanhua Creek, you can't dream of anything.
This song melts into the scene, describing the scene of wandering in the night, leaving sorrow and sleeplessness, revealing a faint and strong lovesickness, after reading, people gradually feel resentment and sorrow intertwined with sorrow.
Compared with the poems sent by Qin Mu before, this "Sheng Chazi" is not the most brilliant, but every poem is an accumulation of emotions, and in the end, this "Sheng Chazi" has become a wave that breaks through Li Xiangjun's emotional defense.
In the past two months, although Hou Fangyu has made her extremely disappointed, it is difficult to give up for a while, because in the past few years, Hou Fangyu has been her dreaming of weaving talented and beautiful women, and it is a necessary way for her to lead to her ideal career.
Although she knew that she was wrong, how could she say that she could let go of her feelings for a few years, so when Qin Mu came to say goodbye and expressed her affection with poetry, Li Xiangjun still did not respond positively.
Although Qin Mu has left Nanjing now, a letter has been sent in two or three days, which not only makes Li Xiangjun unable to forget him, but the balance in his heart is tilting little by little. So much so that she couldn't help but go through all possible ways to find out Qin Mu's news.
Fortunately, there is not a lot of news about Qin Mu, after he arrived in Jiangxi, he incorporated the displaced people, and everywhere he passed along the way, the grass was cleared by him, and the news was transmitted back to Nanjing by the business traveler, and it was talked about.
When he heard the news, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but think of Qin Mu's bold words released that day: Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.
Qin Mu proved that he didn't just make a lot of nonsense, and what did Hou Fangyu and the others do except for the drunken and sad songs in Taoyedu? Comparing the two, the two are superior to the other.
The accumulation of this little bit made the scales in Li Xiangjun's heart tilt little by little, and finally when Qin Mu sent this letter full of lovesickness again, her emotions overflowed the embankment of her heart and poured out.
"Daughter, what are you doing here?" After Li Xiangjun's adoptive mother Li Zhenli received the report, she hurried to Li Xiangjun's room.
"Mother, my daughter wants to redeem herself." Li Xiangjun replied while digging out all his valuable things.
"Daughter, are you crazy? You say, you weishenme do this? Is it for that Qin Mu? Li Zhenli's voice suddenly raised, and her face was incredulous.
"The daughter doesn't want to lie to her mother, the daughter is indeed for Qin Mu." Don't look at Li Xiangjun's petite and exquisite, but she has a strong temperament and is very assertive, and once she decides, no one can dissuade her.
Li Zhenli knew her character very well, so she had to persuade her in a good voice: "Xiangjun, although you are a prostitute, but my mother and I have worked hard to cultivate you for so many years, you are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, you are not comparable to ordinary Qinglou girls." Qin Mu is young, handsome, talented, this time he went to work alone, he was a thief again and again, such a character, if you are in love with your daughter, you will not be wronged, and I should not have stopped my mother, but you redeem yourself like this, and send it to the door without a name or share, what is the matter? This cannot be done. ”
"The mother's nurturing grace, the daughter will never forget, the daughter no matter what others say, the daughter has decided this matter."
"No, if I say no, I can't, Qin Mu wants to marry my daughter, unless he carries a sedan chair to redeem you. Otherwise, I will never say yes. ”
"Mom, today, the Tartars are peeking outside, the traitors are chaotic inside, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, Qin Mu is unassuming, he only thinks about serving the court, Kuang Fu Sheji, where is the money to redeem his daughter? Mom has always been chivalrous and wise, benevolent and heroic, did his mother want him to go and loot the people's fat and ointment to redeem his daughter? ”
Li Xiangjun is not a fool, Li Zhenli is indeed a bold and chivalrous person, and she smiles lightly as usual when she loses a thousand gold overnight. Most of the friends are famous people in the world. Qin Mu is outstanding in literature and martial arts, and is indeed a person admired by Li Zhenli, after Li Xiangjun said this, she didn't know what to say for a while.
But she worked hard to train Li Xiangjun, and she never took less thought than cultivating a princess, and she always treated Li Xiangjun as her own daughter, and now Qin Mu not only didn't spend a penny, but also didn't even come to anyone, how could she be willing to let her send her daughter out like this?
Therefore, no matter what Li Xiangjun said, she just didn't agree.
She can't compete with Li Xiangjun, so she will increase the price of redemption, she knows how much private money Li Xiangjun has, this price is raised by half, Li Xiangjun thinks of her kindness for so many years, and she doesn't want to fight with her for the redemption money, and she can't think about it for a while.
However, after Bian Saisai learned about Li Xiangjun the next day, he not only took all his private money to support him, but also borrowed debts everywhere, and insisted on scraping together enough money for Li Xiangjun to redeem himself.
On the third day, after Li Xiangjun offered the redeemed silver, Li Zhenli still didn't want to let go, Li Xiangjun was very sad in her heart, and in front of everyone, she hit the pillar next to her, blood spattered on the fan, as bright as a peach blossom, she was going to die to make her will.
In less than half a day, this matter spread all over Nanjing City, making countless people sigh, and various legends about Li Xiangjun and Qin Mu soon spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, causing many crazy men and women to be excited, and I don't know how many sad tears were secretly spilled.
In May of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong led tens of thousands of people to take Hanyang, crossed the Yangtze River from Yadanzhou, and quickly captured the city of Wuchang.
Wuchang is the seat of the palace of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu. The officials guarding the city fled when they heard the news, and the troops recruited by the king of Chu were made internal responses for Zhang Xianzhong, and the city gate was opened to welcome Zhang Xianzhong.
Zhang Xianzhong executed the queen of Chu and shared her flesh with his subordinates, and at the same time "took millions of gold and silver in the palace, and carried hundreds of carts." More than 6 million taels of silver were issued, and displaced people from all over the country were summoned.
In Wuchang, Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself the "King of the Great West" and established the Great Western regime. There were six ministries and five military governors, and local officials were appointed. "Change Wuchang to be called Tianzhufu, Jiangxia to Shangjiang County", and open a department to recruit talents, a total of 30 jinshi and 48 food students, all of whom were awarded state and county official positions.
When the news came, Jiangxi was full of rumors, and officials at all levels were in panic.
At this time, Qin Mu just arrived in Ganzhou, and this news was exactly the same as Qin Mu's prediction at the beginning, and the time and place were completely consistent.
Huo Sheng, Cui Feng, Ning Yuan, and Ling Zhan pulled Meng Ke to the side and whispered for a long time, during which they peeked at Qin Mu from time to time, and his eyes were extremely complicated.
Zuihou Huo Sheng rubbed to Qin Mu's side and asked cautiously: "Lord Qin, are you saying that in August Zhang Xianzhong attacked Yueyang with 200,000 heavy troops, and then swept Huguang and forced Jiangxi?" ”
Qin Mu asked lightly, "What do you say?" ”
"How did this Lord Qin know all this?"
Qin Mu just glanced at him coldly, and he didn't mean to answer at all.
If Qin Mu's words in front of him had not been confirmed, this cold and arrogant glance alone would have been enough for Huo Sheng to give him a knife, but now, Huo Sheng didn't dare to face his gaze, and felt in his heart that Qin Mu was even more unfathomable, and his body couldn't help but bow down a little.
He also asked with some reluctance: "Apart from Zhang Xianzhong, can Lord Qin say anything else?" He was still a little skeptical that Qin Mu was Zhang Xianzhong's person at all, so he learned about Zhang Xianzhong's combat strategy in advance.
Although this is unlikely, you must know that the battlefield is ever-changing, even if it is Zhang Xianzhong himself, I am afraid that he will not know his actions in a few months.
Qin Mu looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice after a while: "In October, Li Zicheng broke through the Tong Pass, and Sun Chuanting died. In the first month, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an Mansion, with Li Jiqian as Taizu, and the founding name Dashun. ”
Huo Sheng subconsciously followed and looked at the sky, but seeing the white clouds fluttering, the sun was dazzling, the endless sky was reckless, deep and remote, and there was infinite mystery in the calm, he instinctively felt that there was a huge eye in the sky, watching his every move, he didn't know why he suddenly felt this way, but at this moment he really couldn't bear the inexplicable pressure in his heart, and lowered his head.
At this time, Qin Mu's voice suddenly came from his ears again: "Don't blame me for not warning you, this is a heavenly opportunity, if you leak it out at will, you will be sent by heaven." ”
Huo Sheng's heart throbbed inexplicably when he heard this, and he unconsciously looked at the sky again.
