Chapter 167: Be kind and charitable
......
"A powerful man will not argue, a man of great words will not argue."
Before leaving, Prime Minister Cao sighed.
With such an understanding of the general situation, knowing how to advance and retreat, and caring about the war and people's livelihood, how could Prime Minister Cao not regard him differently?
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liang Huan tightened her tight cloak, looked at the snowflakes that melted on the ground, and pursed her lips slightly, not worth a sip.
But everyone has their own needs.
The war has been in stalemate for half a year, from late autumn to mid-winter, and from mid-winter to early spring.
There is a shortage of supplies on the front lines, and the epidemic outside the city will not go away.
Donations of money and goods were made one after another, but the war was like a bottomless pit, and no amount of filling was enough. As time went by, not to mention the ordinary people, even the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen complained. Full of complaints and resentment.
Gu Yu took a look at the clothes and belongings that were to be donated and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so difficult to stay in the city every day. I really don't know how you can bear it, sir?"
Liang Huan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at her with a smile.
Gu Yu said again: "The materials in Jinye City are still sufficient, but they are still not as good as before. Think about Luyang, which is already short of food and clothing. You can imagine the miserable situation."
After Bai Lu finished counting, she also sighed: "In the end, it is to protect Daqi and protect the family, otherwise who would want to be shrouded in horse leather."
Liang Huan remained silent without saying a word.
Not everyone thinks so.
It is understandable that common people have grievances. After all, they have different visions, aspirations, and desires. What's more, who is the emperor in this world, in the end, it doesn't make much difference to them.
But the royal dignitaries and noble families should not be so dissatisfied. Enjoying the privileges, but...
Liang Huan stood up and glanced at them: "Let's go, Mrs. Cao is probably waiting at the door."
Guyu and Bailu looked at each other and made eye contact.
Liang Huan took a few steps, but the two of them remained motionless.
"Ji Liang," Gu Yu hesitated, then said, "Isn't Mrs. Cao a guest? Why should she be involved in the affairs of the house?"
Liang Huan did not turn around, but smiled lightly. : "Wouldn't it be better to have one more person help with the chores?"
Not wanting to say this, Bai Lu also spoke: "Yinu, I see, this is no longer help."
Liang Huan turned back to look at them: "Can the Grand Master stop her from acting like this?"
Gu Yu shook his head.
Bai Lu was stunned and sighed.
Liang Huan smiled: "Let's go."
This is the Grand Master's Mansion, where Lu has the final say, and she is just an outsider.
If Lu Xiu hadn't insisted, what would it matter to them if there was one more or one less woman?
Famous families have always put interests above all else.
Although the Grand Master has no children, does he still have several concubines?
As expected, by the time Liang Huan arrived in the front yard, Cao Luyun had already ordered people to load the donated items onto the carriage.
He turned around and stood at the door, dignified and noble, with a smile in his eyes: "I'll be waiting for you."
It was very much like the day she and Lu Xiu returned home after recovering from illness, acting like a hostess.
Liang Huan stepped forward to meet her gaze: "You have always been charitable."
Cao Luyun was keen on doing good deeds.
Liang Huan was about to go out with her when Gu Yu stepped forward and said, "Liang Ji, why don't you go away these days?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was surprised.
Bai Lu was behind her, secretly tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Liang Huan tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Why?"
Gu Yu stood forward and avoided Bai Lu's hand without leaving a trace, with a respectful and confident face:
"Rumors have been spreading in the city recently. When I wrote to you, I specifically stated that it might be detrimental to Liang Ji. If she can, she won't go out. There is no need to care about those false reputations."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyebrows.
But the atmosphere turned cold for a moment.
Cao Luyun seemed to have received a slap in the face in public. He was stunned for a long time, his body was stiff and his expression was even stiffer. Liang Huan raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yu: "I didn't know."
Gu Yu didn't dare to raise her head. Every once in a while, she had to repair a book and send it to the front line and give it to the adults. .
She didn't want Liang Ji to know about this, but she really didn't want to see Mr. Cao being so arrogant and ostentatious.
She is indeed impulsive, and at most she will be punished by Liang Ji, but the adults will definitely not punish her.
Gu Yu simply said: "My lord, I miss Liang Ji."
Bai Lu glanced at Cao Luyun and then at Gu Yu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and felt happy.
Liang Han lowered his eyes and sighed secretly.
Cao Luyun slowly came back to his senses and showed a gentle smile again: "Da Sima is in Luyang, but his heart is in Jinye."
Liang Huan's pupils shrank, and the peripheral vision he swept away was cold.
He raised his eyes again and raised a faint smile: "This is natural. If it is not for the Lord and for Jin Ye, why go into battle to kill the enemy? Wouldn't it be better to stay here and enjoy the blessings?"
After saying that, he turned to Guyu and said, "Let's go."
Don't look at anyone else again.
Cao Lu Yungan stood with a forced smile.
In the car, Liang Huan kept silent and had no intention of dealing with the person opposite who kept staring at him.
Recently, rumors about the evildoer have become popular in Jinye City. Lu Xiuyuan actually knew about it in Luyang. It is not ruled out that Gu Yu reported it, but if not, then there must be rumors on the front lines.
As the concubine of the general, Mrs. Yurui is a monster, bringing natural and man-made disasters to the Qi State... It is hard to imagine how the morale of the army in front of the battle and in the military camp will not be affected? What consequences will it cause?
Liang Han's eyes slowly turned to the window, and the scenery he saw was far behind him.
Others only see fighting and resting, but they don’t know how much he is planning behind it.
Thinking about the Queen Mother again, I couldn't tell how she felt. Her mother's clan killed her father and punished her by being quartered with five horses...
She still remembered asking him about his biological mother, and he said she was dead.
Liang Huan felt that her mind was in a mess and her chest felt uncomfortable.
“Liang Ji?”
A soft call suddenly sounded in my ears.
Liang Huan tilted her head and saw Gu Yu blinking a pair of almond-shaped eyes and looking at her doubtfully. Cao Luyun next to her was staring at her thoughtfully.
Gu Yu whispered: "We're here."
Liang Huan nodded gently, gathered his thoughts and got out of the car.
In addition to the fund-raising office set up by the government, there is also the ‘Futianfang’ organized by the temple itself.
They arrived not too early, but still didn’t see many people.
At first, the housekeepers and their wives had nothing to do, so they competed with each other and donated one by one. But gradually, they all became lazy and slack. After all, the donations were done very frequently and the donations were real property. In the end, it became insignificant. Reluctantly, reluctantly.
Cao Luyun was keen on this matter, as it was a gift from the Taishi Mansion, and she took the lead in registering it. Liang Huan only found a quiet place to wait.
On the donation day, Mrs. Da Sima was very busy, which seemed reasonable.
"Tsk, look at her. Why didn't she stop there when she came back? She was afraid that others wouldn't see her."
The person next to her covered her mouth and smiled: "Why don't they come here to donate? , that’s obviously to show off!”
"It has to be shown off. Don't even think about it. Who are we who donate money and gifts working hard and busy for? It's not for others!"
"That's that--"< br>
"Speaking of this, I have to praise Mr. Cao. I admire him from the bottom of my heart. After all, he is the daughter of the Prime Minister. He is generous and cultivated. He not only tolerates doting on concubines and destroying wives, but also does what he should do. He can even give her a smile."
The person next to him laughed: "That's not true. If you want to leave her here, I have to whip that concubine until her skin is bruised."
< br>……
Gu Yu glanced at Cao Luyun's retreating back, then glanced at a few people not far away who thought they were whispering, lowered his head and said: "Liang Ji, why not go to the carriage and wait."
Liang Huan unknowingly He raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.
