Chapter 161 Gossip in the Rain 1
"Will it be too abrupt?" Li Xin hesitated a little.
Mr. Wen laughed, "How to treat people depends on what kind of person they are. You have to learn this from Lu Yan. People like Ji Shuying are so-called people with temperament. Such people are in harmony, and if they are not in harmony, they are not in harmony. He is lonely and likes straightforward people. He must appreciate talented and courageous people. If you write this letter as I said, it will definitely meet his appetite. I like Ji Shuying very much. This Ji Shuying is worthy of our friendship."
"Okay." Li Xin agreed. He sat before the desk and started grinding ink. If he wrote this, he would no longer have to read Ji Shuying's article carefully.
Li Xin wrote a letter, and Master Wen continued to circle around and think about his big affairs.
"How can I take a good look at this Ning Yuan?" The folding fan in Master Wen Er kept knocking on his forehead. "This person is either a useless idiot, or an extremely cunning hero. I am afraid that he is a hero with a big face, so he can't spy on it casually... What should I do? What should I do?"
Li Xin looked up at Master Wen who was spinning around, and it was a bit funny, "Don't be anxious, both are in the capital, there will always be opportunities, and this matter must be done with fate."
"Ah! You're right!" Master Wen Er sighed, stopped turning around and sat on the chair, looking a little discouraged, "This matter must be done with the flow! It must be done with the flow. This big event, we must be done with the flow. Alas!"
Master Wen Er sighed again, and the sigh was filled with regret and sadness.
It’s so unreliable to go with the flow. Such a big thing, such a wonderful and rare opportunity... What if I can’t follow the flow? Watching others lively... It’s so uncomfortable!
When Li Tong arrived at Baolin Temple, it drizzled in the sky.
In the courtyard, Princess Fu'an stood in the corridor, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the raindrops all over the sky.
Li Tong entered the corridor, Shui Lian took out her shoes and changed them to her, and as usual, she covered the room and waited. Li Tong sat in her usual position. Seeing that the water had rolled in the silver pot, she opened the tea pot, took the tea powder and brewed a cup of tea. She smelled the fragrance of tea, and looked at Princess Fu'an standing straight.
The eldest princess should have a different relationship with the rain.
One of them stood watching the rain, and the other sat drinking tea. After Li Tong finished a cup of tea, Princess Fu Changchang sighed, turned around and sat back opposite Li Tong, and leaned back lazily on the back of the chair. "The biggest advantage of this mountain is that no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as it rains, it will feel a little cool, which is much more comfortable than in the city."
"Well, I think the mountains are good." Li Tong stood up, took the mountain spring water again and put it on the red mud stove, took the mill from Princess Fu'an, and started to grind tea.
"The palace is very hot, my father is afraid of heat, and he doesn't like using ice, so he built a few water palaces. Have you heard of the water palace?" Princess Fu'an's voice was idle, but Li Tong heard the nostalgia in idleness.
"I know, there is a water pavilion in my house, which is covered under the shade of the tree. Once it is used, you have to wear a jacket in the pavilion." Li Tong grinds tea and puts the tea powder into the cup with a silver spoon.
"When I lived in the palace, there was also a small water palace. In summer, I slept very heavily when I listened to the sound of water." Princess Fu'an suddenly sneered, "My father is extravagant, and he is compassionate and frugal, and cherishes human resources."
Princess Fu'an's words came to an abrupt end. She looked at Li Tong brewing tea in silence. Li Tong brewed tea and pushed a cup to her, "Well, a few years ago, there were luxury ones in the capital. A jacket was densely pressed with gold threads. When she was penetrated, she couldn't open her eyes when she was shining on her body. Later, the emperor issued an order, saying that she was a conquering demon and that she was not allowed to press gold and silver threads on her clothes. The embroidery workshop was my grandmother's property. In recent years, there were seven or eight decrees to prohibit conquering demons, but."
Li Tong looked at Princess Fu'an, "In the capital, unless you can't afford to wear it, who doesn't have a jacket and skirt with two embroidered gold and silver threads? During the Chinese New Year and the holidays, the eyes were shining with golden light everywhere."
Princess Fu'an laughed out loud, and held up the cup while laughing, "What do you care about women's clothes? Besides, is this something that can be controlled?"
"Well, I remember there was an order in the embroidery workshop. Many years ago, it was said that fish-shaped flower ornaments were prohibited, and fish-shaped water waves were not allowed to be embroidered on the dress, and fish-shaped water should not be used on the decoration."
"I know this." Princess Fu'an laughed, "This is the second year that the emperor ascended the throne. That year, the Bian River surged and flooded half of the capital. Even the palace was flat, half a foot of water. The old Duke Sui made a note and said that this flood was caused by the popular black fish and flower ornaments among the women in the capital. The black fish was inauspicious. The emperor issued a decree to prohibit all fish-shaped waves. It was really a bastard."
When Li Tong heard her say the four words "Extremely Bastards", he looked up at her. Is this extremely Bastard? Is this Lao Sui Guo Duke or is it about the emperor?
"Don't you think you're a bastard?" Li Tong's look attracted Princess Fu'an's remarks.
"They are all little bastards, and no one is serious about such things."
"Hmph." After a while, Princess Fu'an snorted coldly, "Corruption starts with such a small matter, and it is not possible to make it happen. Today is such a small matter. Tomorrow, you can ignore all the emperor's life. Chang Ping's position at the beginning... Forget it, don't talk about this! Nothing to do with us!"
Li Tong lowered her eyes and didn't answer the conversation. This was not a topic she could answer.
"Have you heard of some fun things in the city?" Princess Fu'an almost immediately changed the subject, as if she wanted to pull her thoughts away from somewhere.
"What are the princesses talking about?"
"Ningyuan, since he entered the capital, he has been snatching food, drink and having fun everywhere. I heard that a few days ago, he snatched female technicians from the Minister of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, and Aluo Liuman. The next day, Yunxiu, who sang a small sing with the Minister of Personnel. Anyway, since he entered the city, he snatched those female technicians from people every day. Yesterday morning, he said that Ningyuan had a memorial on the spot, impeached all the officials who snatched people from him to summon prostitutes. He had suffered a loss of personal morality, was not doing his job properly, and had lost his official duties, and asked the emperor to rectify the administration of the officials. He also said that the Censorate did not even say such a big thing, and he dereliction of duty, so he asked the emperor to punish him severely."
Princess Fu'an laughed before she finished speaking, "I heard that the emperor cursed all officials and killed Ning Yuan in front of the hall for a whole morning."
Li Tong couldn't help laughing, "Is this the evil man complaining first?"
