Li Ran saw Gong Eryue busy in front and back, so he also stepped forward and asked:
"What do you need me to do?"
Gong Eryue wiped her forehead with her wrist and waved:
"Go, go, you are just a spectator, what can you do? You will only stand aside and get in the way, so you can just rest!"
Li Ran smiled bitterly, but was speechless.
Indeed, Li Ran had never done any of these things before, and now that he was asked to do it, he would not be able to do it.
Gong Eryue, on the other hand, didn't mind being dirty at all. She first got some sand, then fetched well water, and then waited until Chu Dang came back with fodder.
Gong Eryue mixed the grass and sand together, and then poured water... Step by step, Gong Eryue didn't mind being dirty, and she did everything herself.
When Li Ran saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of Ji Le again.
Thinking back to the beginning, Ji Le was the same as Gong Eryue now. Not only did she have the same compassion for heaven and earth, but she even had a shrewd and capable style.
He looked at Gong Eryue and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Li Ran sighed, unable to think anymore, and just looked elsewhere.
Although the beggar's home is dilapidated, it is located behind the apricot grove after all, and he can have a clear view of the apricot grove.
It's time for autumn to begin, and the autumn leaves of the apricot trees are connected into a golden patch, which is refreshing and refreshing to look at.
Perhaps realizing the sadness of autumn, Li Ran thought that he could no longer enjoy such beautiful scenery with Ji Le, and his mood couldn't help but feel extremely low.
He stared into the depths of the autumn forest and couldn't help but chant:
"The uncle is here, the uncle is here, and he wants me to have a daughter. The uncle is here, and the uncle is here, and he wants me to have a daughter."
This song "萚 Xi" is actually a short poem describing the scene of young men and women singing folk songs. Autumn is here, the fallen leaves are colorful and fluttering in the golden wind. And this poem also contains Li Ran's feelings about sacrificial music.
Li Ran missed Ji Le too deeply.
He has never forgotten the ritual music. And the sadness in his heart continues to this day.
At this moment, he heard Gong Eryue continue to say behind him:
"High banks are valleys, and deep valleys are mausoleums. Those who mourn today should not be punished for their misdeeds!"
What Gong Eryue wrote about was "The Turn of October" in "Poetry". Among them, the first two sentences mean: high mountains can become deep valleys, and deep valleys can also become hills.
Obviously, this majestic poem was learned from Yan Yan while she was studying in the State of Lu.
Yan Yan, as a favorite disciple of Confucius, was best at singing stringed songs and mute music.
Therefore, Gong Eryue was influenced by what she heard and saw, and she actually learned a little bit.
And her intention with these words was to help Li Ran cheer up and stop being so decadent.
However, because Gong Eryue was not good at studying "Poetry" after all, she thought of it as it came out.
She didn't care that the core meaning of "The Turn of October" was not what she thought it was at all.
But even so, Li Ran could still understand it and couldn't help but sneered.
Looking back, he saw only the dirt on Gong Eryue's hands, and she looked at him with a rare soft look, which made Li Ran startled.
In the past, when Ji Le was here, the couple would often write poems to each other. It can be said that it is a harmonious and harmonious relationship.
However, since Ji Le's death, this feeling has long disappeared. Now Gong Eryue, who looks so similar to Ji Le, said such words. Although the words were inappropriate, it also made Li Ran feel inexplicable. throbbing.
This could not help but give Li Ran an illusion, as if Ji Le had returned to him as Gong Eryue.
However, Li Ran did not agree to Gong Eryue.
His emotions were still sober, and he knew that the person in front of him was not Jile.
He turned around, looked into the depths of the apricot forest again, and sighed again.
After Chu Dang and Gong Eryue worked together to close the loophole, they gave the woman and the child some sword coins.
Moreover, Gong Eryue directly told Li Ran's address and said:
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me directly. I am in the Li Mansion not far from here. As long as I can help you, I will never sit idly by!"
The woman thanked them profusely, and Li Ran and the other three returned to their mansion outside the city.
…
Next, for several days, Li Ran never left Xinglin again, only focusing on compiling "Spring and Autumn" there.
During her time as a bodyguard, Gong Eryue did her best to fulfill her duties, and by the way, she also took on the responsibility of taking care of Liguang.
Therefore, in addition to being close to her father and Fan Li, Liguang now also has a lot of affection for Gong Eryue.
And Gong Eryue could always attract Li Ran's attention intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Li Ran was always in a daze, he did not dare to make any unreasonable thoughts. He was always treated with courtesy, and there was no overstep.
However, Li Ran trusted her very much and even let her take Liguang into the city to play.
However, Li Ran's move made Sun Wu a little more vigilant.
Naturally, he also knew how similar Gong Eryue was to Ji Le.
However, his natural intuition and vigilance always made him feel that the life experience of Gong Eryue in front of him might not be simple.
Therefore, he told Li Ran his worries.
When Li Ran heard what Sun Wu said, he put down the letter in his hand:
"Chang Qing, I know what you are worried about, but she is a talented person from the Yue Kingdom, and she is the daughter of the Gong'er clan of the Yue Kingdom tribe. She came all the way to the Lu Kingdom, and she was recommended by Kong Zhongni. If she really has ulterior motives, would that be too bizarre?"
"Moreover, if she really had other thoughts, she wouldn't be so high-profile. Has Changqing ever seen someone who has time to be so public? Brother Yu thinks that Changqing may be really worried this time. ”
Sun Wu cupped his fists and replied:
"Even so, as the saying goes, 'What is virtual is real; what is real is virtual.' Although what she is doing now is a bit contrary to common sense, we must not ignore it! Even if there is nothing wrong with this woman, it is difficult to protect the king of Yue. He...will have other thoughts."
"It is said that wars between Wu and Yue have been frequent in recent times, and the king of Yue once asked Chu for help. However, since King Ping, Chu has no intention of competing in the world. Now that King Ping has passed away, Chu is even more unable to challenge Wu. "
"Now King Gou Jian of Yue and King Helu of Wu are both heroes. If two heroes fight, one of them will be injured! It just so happens that the Yue girl is here, so Ling Wu has to think like this!"
Li Ran heard what Sun Wu said, but he still didn't take it seriously and couldn't help laughing:
"Chang Qing, if we look at the enemy's opportunity to advance and deploy troops, it is indeed not as good as Chang Qing. However, Chang Qing may have thought too much. I have no grudges against the Yue Kingdom in the past and no enmity in recent times, so why should he? Are you coming to set up a trap to harm me?"
Sun Wu couldn't help but replied vigilantly:
"Sir, has he forgotten... the old story of Yue Wang Yunchang?"
The King of Yue Yunchang mentioned by Sun Wu was actually Chang Shouguo, the general of the State of Yue who accompanied King Ling of Chu to conquer Wu. At the beginning, Chang Shouguo led his army and Chu troops to conquer Wu, but eventually rebelled against Chu under Guan Cong's lobbying.
Moreover, with the overall strategic contraction of Chu State, as soon as King Chu Ling died, Yue State immediately suffered revenge from Wu State. As a result, the war between Wu and Yue continues to this day.
Therefore, if you really want to talk about it, Yue State was really deceived by Guan Cong.
At this time, Sun Wu continued to add:
"At the beginning, sir, I still had an old kindness to Si Zhen of the state of Zheng, but after he surrendered to Fan Yang of the state of Jin, he came back to harm my clan. Now, not to mention the king of Yue, Gou Jian..."
When Li Ran heard this, he suddenly said seriously:
"Chang Qing, don't be suspicious of people, but don't be suspicious of employees. Since Li has left her, you can't be so suspicious. If others hear this, they will think that I, Li Ziming, have no tolerance for others. "
"Miss Gong'er is pure at heart and is definitely not such a treacherous person. Please, sir, please don't say any more."
When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then he said:
"Hey... Since Mr. said this, Wu Ye has nothing to say. But please allow me to continue to follow up on this matter in secret!"
Li Ran knew Sun Wu's nature, and he would never give up easily on something he believed in. Therefore, he could only sigh and said:
"In this case, Chang Qing just investigates in secret, but don't expose it to the public."
Sun Wu bowed his hands to Li Ran very solemnly to show his compliance.
But in Li Ran's opinion, this was a little more interesting.
At this time, I heard Sun Wu continue to say:
"Sir, although Madam has passed away, her great revenge has not yet been avenged. Brother Meng, Shu Niu, is still causing trouble in the Jin Kingdom. Please Sir, please revive yourself as soon as possible and eliminate the underworld as soon as possible. On the one hand, you can comfort Madam. His spirit is in heaven! On the other hand, it can also be regarded as a great cause to help the world!"
When Li Ran heard this, he couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Sun Wu:
"Well... I know this matter well. Sir, please step aside for now!"
Sun Wu hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything more and just retreated in frustration.
Li Ran, on the other hand, picked up the slip and fiddled with it without any thought...
Gong Eryue and Chu Dang were patrolling around the Li Mansion. Chu Dang had always treated Gong Eryue with great courtesy and politeness.
Gong Eryue also took advantage of today's opportunity to chat with him.
In order to awaken her memory of being a "Madam" earlier, Chu Dang told her everything about what happened between Li Ran and Ji Le.
Although Chu Dang has an upright temperament, he does not use rhetoric. But when it comes to such romantic affairs, there is no sense of disobedience.
Gong Eryue was there and listened with great interest.
Just listen to what Chu Dang said at the end:
"So, since my wife passed away, my husband has become what he is today. He is really feeling miserable!"
When Gong Eryue heard these stories, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Ji Le.
"Hey...how could such a beautiful person end up with such a disease?"
Chu Dang said sadly:
"Hmph! If you want to blame it, it's all the blame on the standing bull! If Madam's clan hadn't all perished in the fires of the Four Kingdoms, how could Madam have suffered such a disease?"
"I feel sorry for the husband, but he keeps blaming himself. He only feels that he can't help the madam."
After hearing this, Gong Eryue asked directly:
"Huh? Where do you start talking about this? After all this has happened, you can't blame him?"
Chu Dang nodded fiercely and responded:
"Yes, yes! It's no wonder sir! But he can't figure it out on his own, so how can we persuade him?"
