Chapter 168 A Dreamless Night
Under the afternoon sun, everything seemed very quiet.
The river flows quietly.
The mountains, rivers and fields have changed their colors for spring.
The birds were chirping and jumping from one branch to another.
There is a shepherd boy singing in the distance.
There are farmers working in the fields.
Occasionally, a galloping knight will appear. When passing by Green Willow Garden, they will subconsciously slow down.
Le Lanji sat under the crabapple tree, quietly listening to the nursery rhymes coming from outside the wall, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.
Sometimes she would play a piece of music and immerse herself in the ocean of music.
The sound of the piano is still smooth and pleasant, but there have been considerable changes inside.
Half a year ago, when she was imprisoned in the Chengdu palace, the sound of the piano was melodious and desolate, carrying endless resentment and hatred.
A few months ago, when she was at Jinmenwu, the sound of the piano was low and hesitant, with a little confusion and a trace of expectation.
Now, she is in the Green Willow Garden, the music is cheerful and bright, with indescribable excitement, and maybe a little shy.
The piano is just like the person it is.
The sound of the piano is the voice of the human heart.
The east wind suddenly picked up and ruffled a pool of green water.
Begonia flowers fluttered and fell on the table.
Le Lanji gently brushed off the petals.
Under the petals is a roster, the first few words are "Liang County Martial Arts".
Yes, a group of wooden houses are being built on the wasteland east of Liang County. After completion, all student soldiers will move here to study, train and work together.
There are countless warriors around Shao Xun, but the talents suitable for management are extremely scarce - this is not just about writing and calculating. There are currently only a dozen or so student soldiers in each period. Barely competent and inexperienced.
Lelan Ji occasionally helps out, such as sorting out rosters, calculating and purchasing various materials needed for martial arts, etc., and then dispatches stewards from Green Willow Garden to carry out the specific implementation.
There are dozens of servants in Green Willow Garden, many of whom come from the former Chengdu Prince's Palace.
For these servants, the familiar people are still there, the princess is still there, and the whole house has just changed to a male master. "It will not have much impact", so they can do whatever they need to do.
Lan Ji became more comfortable in commanding them, and felt more secure psychologically. The preliminary preparations for the Liang County Martial Arts School were handled by a few old servants from the Chengdu Prince's Palace who had been in charge for decades, so nothing could go wrong.
After hurriedly handling the last bit of business, Lan Ji lazily walked to the low couch next to her, yawned, and prepared to take a nap.
I will sleep until the sun turns west.
Shao Xun returned home early with a lot of worries and planned to decorate it. When he suddenly saw the beauty sleeping soundly under the crabapple tree, he suddenly laughed.
The spring shirt is thin and fragrant.
The beauty's round and undulating buttocks were facing him. He never got tired of looking at it, never played with it enough, wanted to explore secrets every time, and abandoned his armor on it every time...
He gently picked up the beauty and carried her to the bedroom. There would be guests coming later.
"Mr. Lang seems to be worried?" Lan Ji woke up quickly, put her arms around his neck, and asked softly.
"Something big happened in Luoyang." Shao Xun put the woman on the bed, pulled a thin quilt, covered it lightly, then sat on the edge of the bed and said: "The emperor has died, the emperor's brother has died. Lingqian ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yongjia, and granted amnesty to the world. The queen was frightened and fled to Liang County. Soon she came to Luliu Garden. "
Lelan Ji's eyes were wider than that night at Jinmenwu. Even bigger.
"Don't think too much about this matter." Shao Xun caressed her face and asked: "I met Nanyang County Cheng Lekuan in Guangchengze, do you know him?"
"That's an uncle of the clan." Le Lanji said: "When I was a child, I lived in an old house, just ninety miles south of Nanyang City. The uncle of the clan often came here and walked around. His father took him to participate in several talks, and the reputation of the clan uncle was Gradually, he was promoted to an official position. "
"It's really easy to be an official in a wealthy family, just say a few words," Shao Xun said with emotion.
Lelan Ji chuckled and said, "Isn't this what generations of people have struggled for?"
"I don't have a family background. How will our children be officials in the future?" Shao Xun asked with a smile.
Le Lanji's face turned red and she said nothing.
The room fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Lan Ji asked softly: "How about I write a letter and ask my uncle to come to Green Willow Garden?"
"Can you let your brothers come over? Sit down?" Shao Xun asked.
"Okay." She agreed.
Not to mention Shao Xun, she will not take the initiative to contact her family for the time being. Now that it was mentioned, she was a little happy, and naturally thought about seeing her family.
Liang County crosses a mountain to the south, which is the boundary of Luyang County in Nanyang Kingdom. It can be said that it is very close at hand.
Shao Xun showed his talents in Liangxian and Guangchengze. As time goes by, the outside world will always know about it and there will always be discussions.
Based on the principle of differentiation and co-optation, he wanted to open a gap among the aristocratic families in Nanyang and Yingchuan.
In the direction of Nanyang, he chose Leshi, a local snake.
The current Le family may not like him, and they may not be willing to join the system he created, but it is always right to contact him in advance and form a good relationship.
It would be really embarrassing if I was beaten to death in the north and ended up getting stabbed in the butt here in Liang County and Guangchengze.
"Mr. Lang is going to see guests later?" Lan Ji asked.
"The Queen's car is only ten miles away from here. She will come over soon with the county magistrate Yang Zuyan and the palace general Chen Qi." Shao Xun helped Lan Ji tuck in the quilt and said, "Let's sleep for a while. Later. I’m not busy for two days. I’ll take you hunting in the mountains.”
Le Lanji nodded lightly, her heart filled with joy.
In twenty-five years of life, this was the first time a man was willing to coax her like this. Because of this joy, she was willing to beg the elders, brothers, sisters and friends she met in her girlhood to see if she could help her husband.
******
As soon as it got dark, people outside the Green Willow Garden started shouting.
Yang Xianrong got off the carriage and looked at the mansion with critical eyes.
It must be some powerful mansion in the countryside. It cost a lot of money, but it smells like a nouveau riche who lacks any background.
I don’t know how it fell into Shao Xun’s hands.
He is not a good person, he can even be said to be one of the most ruthless people in Luoyang. He can do anything. This house is probably not upright.
Shao Xun did not intend to make a big fanfare, but led the people in very low-key.
Chen Jin wanted to say something, but Shao Xun waved his hand and said: "I have learned what General Chen means. We will discuss it tomorrow."
Chen Jin nodded and led his troops. I'm going to stay overnight in a village north of Green Willow Garden.
Yangman hesitated for a while and then said goodbye. He will come back tomorrow.
Le Lanji still got up.
She is not even a concubine in Green Willow Garden. Strictly speaking, she is a maidservant. She is not qualified to come to see Yang Xianrong.
But she came over anyway, bringing wine and food made by herself.
"You..." Yang Xianrong looked at Le Lanji's increasingly beautiful face, a little surprised and even jealous. He lost his voice for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Queen, please have a meal." Lan Ji put down the food box and took out the exquisite food one by one.
"Are you happy now?" Yang Xianrong said sourly, and then thinking about his situation, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, don't mention it!
Le Lanji did not directly answer Yang Xianrong's words. She just sighed and said, "It would be great if I married a few years later and met my husband."
"Haha , who wouldn’t keep an eye on the daughter of Shangshu Ling? What kind of family background is Shao Xun? If you are not a widow, how can he succeed?" Yang Xianrong sneered.
Le Lanji was not angry either, she just laid out the dishes and utensils so calmly, elegantly and briskly.
Yang Xianrong was bored. But I was really hungry, so I didn't want to get angry with Lan Ji and started eating on the spot.
Le Lanji sat across from her quietly, not speaking.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Le Shi once climbed on top of her - although she was only the concubine, before Sima Ying fell, everyone knew that the concubine had much more energy than the queen.
After Sima Ying's defeat, Le Shi was severely manipulated by her for a while.
But how long has it been? Leshi seemed to be climbing on top of her again.
This woman looks quite elegant, generous and elegant, but she is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With a shameless and charming figure, how can Shao Xun control it? She must be eaten to death.
Uh, let’s talk about Shao Xun, Shao Xun is here.
"Queen, I will be on duty at the house tonight and will not disturb the queen." There was the sound of the collision of equipment and armor outside the room, as well as Shao Xun's low-pitched order to dispatch sentries.
Yang Xianrong was a little moved.
She glanced at Le Lanji subconsciously.
Lan Ji has lowered her head, not knowing what she is thinking.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt that the food was more delicious. He had a great appetite and ate a lot.
However, as she ate, she became a little awakened.
Why would I be angry with Leshi as a slave?
Well, in the past two days and one night, people have been scared to death. It seems that they are tired.
After eating silently, Le Lanji packed up the utensils and left.
After a while, several maids from the Chengdu Prince's Palace came in and served the sheep for bathing.
After everything was settled, it was already the willow branches above the moon.
Yang Xianrong was lying on a high bed for the first time, which was a little strange.
There were slight footsteps and the sound of beetle leaves clashing outside the window.
"Shao Qing, is that you?" Yang Xianrong suddenly shouted.
"The queen is a minister."
Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out comfortably, wrapped himself in a quilt and fell asleep.
At midnight, Yang Xianrong suddenly woke up.
There seemed to be no sound outside the window.
Her heart was beating fast, and she was a little scared subconsciously. She couldn't help shouting: "Shao Qing?"
"Queen, don't be afraid, I am here." The sound of armor leaves sounded again, And that steady and powerful voice.
"Yeah." Yang Xianrong lay back and suddenly wanted to shed tears.
I am from such a good background and have such a noble status, how could I end up in this situation?
Is there really no place for myself in this world?
What did she do wrong? Why is life so miserable? Why are there people everywhere trying to harm her?
She couldn't understand, so she could only cry silently in the dead of night.
After thinking wildly for a long time, perhaps too tired or too frightened, Yang Xianrong finally fell into a deep sleep.
A night without dreams.
Yang Xianrong, who didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, suddenly found that she slept so peacefully for the first time in many years.
She was stunned for a long time.
