Datang Nongwang

Chapter 552 News from the Palace

Huaishan has been mining.

As for Li Chongyuan, he always wanted to move forward from time to time.

Not to help, not to supervise, not to collect data, just to take a look at that little lady Zhu Ying.

down for a few days.

I don't know who saw Li Chongyuan's momentum. They always gathered around and whispered together when they were eating, talking about Li Chongyuan, Li County Uncle.

even.

Some people said that Li Chongyuan had his eyes on some young lady.

If it weren't for Li Chongyuan's high status, these women would probably have to go to Li Chongyuan to introduce the young lady to Li Chongyuan.

"Li Xianbo seems to like to come here all the time recently. Could it be that Li Xianbo is looking at someone's young lady?" No, before noon one day, as soon as the group of women arrived at the meal time, They started to sit together, looking at Li Chongyuan who was standing in the distance, talking small words from time to time.

The nearby woman took a look at Li Chongyuan, took another bite of the pancake, and said, "It should be. We have quite a few young ladies here. If someone's young lady is favored by County Uncle Li, she will be in for a treat." .”

"Isn't it? Li Xianbo is such a good person, even if he marries back and becomes a concubine, that would be a blessing."

"I see that we have quite a few young ladies here. Mr. Li Xianbo must have taken aim at someone."

"."

No one can compare to the gossip of the women.

However, when the woman in Yuan Village heard this, she immediately had some minor opinions, "Don't talk nonsense, my little man is not the kind of womanizer."

"If you are a man, you will be lustful."

"Hahahaha, is your man also lustful? Look at you, you have given birth to seven babies. You are really fat, but your man is as thin as a stick of firewood."

"Go, go, you are still the same."

"."

As long as women gather together, talking about men and women is more vicious than men.

As for Li Chongyuan in the distance, his eyes seemed to be looking at the piles of Huaishan in the field, but his eyes kept aiming at the little lady Zhu Ying.

On the other hand, the little lady Zhu Ying.

Ever since she was told by Wan'er, every time she saw Li Chongyuan's face, she immediately turned red like a monkey's butt.

If he met Li Chongyuan head-on, he would be even more shy and look away.

but.

Li Chongyuan also knew what was interesting, or rather he was thin-skinned, so he didn't dare to approach him.

Even after saying a word, Li Chongyuan looked ashamed and flustered.

Two people who love each other, every day.

Seeing this, the little girl Wan'er wanted to drag her fourth brother to Zhu Ying, and shouted, "My fourth brother likes you, so you can be my fourth sister-in-law." '

And these days.

Comrade Niu Fan in the county can't even enter his house every day.

After handling official duties every day, I can only be a cat in the county office.

Mrs. Niu invited her cousin over to be her backer, and the two of them berated Niu Fan for two days and two nights, which made Niu Fan unbearable and had to live in the county government office.

Among the county government.

In addition to the residence of the county magistrate, there are also those of the county lieutenant, and there are also those of the master book and the county magistrate.

The county government in each county is quite large, except for handling official business, that is for people to live in.

Niu Fan was in so much pain that he couldn't go back home, so he could only hide in the county government's residence, looking at the oil lamp in front of him, and sighed, "Oh, I don't know if this matter can be resolved, and I don't know where my uncle's letter will go." If it goes on like this, I'm going to go crazy."

Niu Fan is waiting for Niu Jinda's reply.

Or rather, he was waiting for Niu Jinda's approval.

His wife disagreed, and although his aunt didn't say she disagreed, she probably was waiting for Niu Jinda's reply.

Days go by.

This time, it took nearly ten days.

Li Zhuang's Huai Mountain has almost been excavated.

All the women are also busy finishing the work, transporting all the excavated Huaishan to the workshop.

Li Chongyuan didn't know which nerve was wrong today, or he was captured by Zhu Ying's smile yesterday, but early this morning, he dragged Li Chongzhen to the Huaishan area to help transport Huaishan.

Every time he sees Zhu Ying smiling at him, Li Chongyuan seems to have endless energy in his body.

But no one expected it.

This strength is endless, but the waist is flashed.

"Oh, can you be gentle, my old waist can do some work quickly." Li Chongyuan was receiving Zhang Wenli's rubbing medicine, and exclaimed after taking the pain.

Wan'er, who was on the side, covered her mouth and smiled, "Fourth brother, I don't think you're working so hard, you're seeing sister Zhu Ying slipping up to your waist. Hehe, fourth brother, I think it's time to Why don't I go to Sister Zhu Ying and talk directly, so that you don't have to go to Huaishan every day and make Sister Zhu Ying unable to work."

"Go, go, what do you know about children. Fourth brother, I'm ashamed, you don't care, you don't care, and you just sit aside and talk sarcasticly. Let me tell you, if you dare to say it, fourth brother, I will beat you up." Doubt about life." Li Chongyuan has a thin skin, but when facing this little girl, he is absolutely thick-skinned.

While massaging Zhang Wenli, he smiled.

He really didn't understand Li Chongyuan's liking for a peasant girl, nor was he optimistic about it.

Don't talk about him.

As far as everyone is concerned, who will be optimistic about it.

Li Chongyuan was in pain.

Chang'an's family, Li Chongji has returned.

As soon as Li Chongji returned to Li's house, he went straight to the inner courtyard with a happy expression on his face.

When Li Chongji saw the old lady, he quickly straightened his clothes, approached the old lady and said happily: "Mother, there is news from the palace."

"Oh? What's the news? Has the Fang family's money come up?" The old lady has been thinking about the Fang family's compensation recently.

Li Shimin let go, Fang Xuanling also nodded.

But it has been ten days since the money, and it still hasn't been sent to my family.

This also made the old lady always ask her eldest son aloud every day.

When Li Chongji was asked by the old lady, he shook his head gently and replied: "Mother, the Fang family's money hasn't arrived yet, but the news is coming soon. And the news from the palace is not about the Fang family." Compensation money is the fourth brother's business."

"Oh? It's about Yuan'er. Let's talk about it quickly." The old lady pointed to the chair beside him when she heard that it was about Li Chongyuan.

After Li Chongji sat down, he glanced at his wife next to him, "Mother, just now when I was dealing with official business, Dai Neishi was out of the palace on business and said something to me. If the title is raised a little bit more, Dai Neishi said that the fourth brother may be named county magistrate."

"Really? If this is true, then Yuan'er will be the same as you. Haha, okay, okay, I used to worry about Yuan'er, but now he is the least of my worries. Ji'er, Any more news?" The old lady was very happy when she heard this.

in fact.

The old lady had already made up her mind about her four sons.

It's just that the imperial court has been confirming the matter of Xixiang, and also confirming the matter of Li Chongyuan's book of Wanmin, which will take time.

A book of people is enough to be knighted.

if.

An ordinary commoner who has obtained a book of ten thousand people may be directly granted the title of county magistrate.

If this commoner is a well-known gentry and old man in the local area, the imperial court will consider his influence and may be named a county male.

If the person who received the Wanmin Letter was an official, he might also be named a county man.

As for those like Li Chongyuan, who have their own titles, they have also obtained the Wanmin Book.

According to common sense, it is understandable that Li Chongyuan's title will be raised by two ranks.

The book of Wanmin is not something you can get if you want it. It is the opinion of the people and it is also supported by the people. If you want to make a fake, you only need to ask and you can find it.

What's more, like Li Chongyuan's Wanminshu, there are countless names written on it, which has long surpassed the so-called Wanminshu.

and so.

Li Chongyuan's title was raised two more levels, the old lady had already expected it.

Seeing that his mother was so happy, Li Chongji replied with joy on his face: "Mother, the promotion of the title of the fourth brother is a great thing for the fourth brother and our family. However, I listened to Dai's servant. , the Holy One intends to nominate the fourth brother, but those ministers seem to have an opinion. They say that what the fourth brother did in Xixiang is too cruel, and they also say that the fourth brother is too young, and there is still a long way to go .”

Speaking of this, Li Chongji didn't say any more.

Because, the old lady's face was already filled with anger.

"Hmph! What about those ministers? I think it was Fang Qiao who said it. The Fang family paid us so much money for the goldfish incident. It would be strange if Fang Qiao didn't object. I'll have to look into it. Who dares to do anything, the old man has been inactive all the time, thinking that our Li family is easy to bully." The old lady was furious, and her words were murderous.

Li Chongji took a long breath, and said comfortingly: "Mother, the Holy Majesty has to decide on this matter in the end. Those ministers probably don't want the fourth brother's title to be promoted too quickly, and want to suppress it. However, The fourth brother is far away in Lizhuang, and when that time really comes, I am afraid that after my uncle hears about this, he will have to return to Chang'an. Mother, if not, let's wait and see what happens."

"It should be so. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, go to Li Zhuang and reveal the matter to your uncle secretly, and see what your uncle thinks." The old lady nodded after hearing the words.

It is more suitable for Li Yuan to go out than her old lady.

Moreover.

The old lady knew even more in her heart that it was really unreasonable for a woman like her to intervene in the government affairs.

And Li Chongji's proposal is also suitable.

After Li Chongji got the words, he responded, "Then I will take a leave of absence and go to Lizhuang in the afternoon."

"Forget it, don't go, let the housekeeper go." The old lady heard that Li Chongji was going to ask for leave, fearing that her son's business would be missed.

It didn't take long.

After the housekeeper heard about it, he responded.

After Li Chongji left and went back to the Yamen, Lin Caishu looked at the old lady and asked, "Mother, if the fourth brother becomes the magistrate, will the mansion have to be changed? According to regulations, the magistrate's mansion of the fourth brother will It's too young, it really doesn't match the title of County Duke."

Come on.

Lin Caishu was really envious.

Even her father's title is not enough for the county magistrate.

and.

She, Lin Caishu, could be said to have watched Li Chongyuan grow up. Suddenly, she was about to be promoted to Duke of the county, which made her feel a little bit disappointed.

"The imperial court hasn't made an agreement yet, let's talk about it after an agreement is made." Of course, the old lady knew that the county magistrate's mansion must be bigger than the original Li Chongyuan's mansion.

But there is no result yet, so it is too early to discuss the mansion first.

in the afternoon.

The butler went to Li Zhuang according to the old lady's order.

When the housekeeper came to Li Zhuang suddenly, Li Chongyuan thought that something happened to his family.

After the butler mentioned the news from the palace in front of Li Yuan, Li Chongyuan finally understood, "What did you say, Aunt?"

"Back to Mr. Xiaolang, the old lady said that this is a matter of the imperial court, and it is inconvenient for her to say more. Moreover, what you got, Mr. Xiaolang, is the real book of ten thousand people. The imperial court will definitely treat it accordingly. I believe those court officials would not agree." While the housekeeper was replying, he occasionally glanced at Li Yuan who was sitting on the side.

But Li Yuan didn't say a word, just sat there with a dark face.

It can be seen from Li Yuan's expression that he is not happy.

For a long time.

After the conversation between the housekeeper and Li Chongyuan ended, the housekeeper took his leave and left.

And when the butler left Li Zhuang, Li Yuan suddenly stood up, looked at Li Chongyuan and said, "Go, accompany me back to Chang'an."

"Uncle, please don't. It's not that time yet. Uncle is going back now, and no one feels good. Besides, the court has its own considerations. If uncle really goes at this time, the future of the nephew will be difficult. It's over." Li Chongyuan saw that Li Yuan said he was going back to Chang'an, and he didn't need to think too much to know that the old man wanted to support him.

The old man was furious.

Who can resist it.

Even if Li Yuan has long since neglected political affairs, or was seized by his son, his prestige is still there.

Anyone who wants to support Li Chongyuan is not something anyone can underestimate.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Chongyuan, and said bitterly: "It's only you. You have been bullied to this extent, and you can still sit still. If this is really the case, then when uncle goes to Chang'an again, I will Let's see if that Nizi thinks that I am too old to move, or that Nizi thinks he is more powerful than the First Emperor."

Li Yuan dropped his words, then waved his sleeves bitterly and left the small courtyard.

but.

Just as Li Yuan came out of the small courtyard, he stopped, "Xiao Jin, go to Chang'an, go to that Nizi and ask if the Wanmin Book has been treated as a piece of waste paper by them."

The servant Jin nodded lightly, waved to his two apprentices, and left directly.

Li Chongyuan in the courtyard shook his head helplessly after hearing the sound.

He really didn't know that Li Yuan, the little old man, still wanted to ask his son for a question, or it was a kind of pressure.

And this also made Li Chongyuan afraid.

Feeling above this matter, Li Chongyuan thinks that he has become a sandwich biscuit, and both ends are not good.

Li Yuan is an elder.

But Li Shimin is the current emperor.

I was working under Li Shimin, if Li Yuan really died, Li Chongyuan would be dead.
