"Ms. Li, do you have anything to say that I would like to bring back to the palace?"
After reading out the Queen Mother's decree, Ren Shouzhong's expression changed again, and he asked in a pleasant tone.
"Holy grace is so great that I am ashamed to receive it!"
(PS: In the story of the Song Dynasty aiding the Tang Dynasty, the supreme being is an official, the queen is a saint, and the concubines are wives. The holy grace here refers to the grace of a saint)
Li Lanhui is still in a state of confusion. Although the imperial mausoleum is not far from the capital, she has almost lost contact with the outside world since she guarded the mausoleum for the late emperor.
She had no idea what was going on in the capital, and no one would risk offending the Queen Mother by secretly conveying information to Li Lanhui.
Therefore, she had no choice but to reply with a scene.
"Ms. Li has served the late emperor's mausoleum and has made great contributions to the country. Before the young man left, the eldest lady specially asked the young man that as long as Madam Li opens the golden mouth, whatever is available in the palace must be used for the four seasons."
As he spoke, Ren Shouzhong kept his body half-bowed, without the slightest air of being an envoy, and his attitude was more like that of a humble retainer.
"Everything is fine here."
Li Lanhui almost subconsciously rejected the matter. All her current purchases are purchased by dedicated personnel.
Although this place is not as prosperous as Beijing, and there are many things that you may not be able to buy even if you have money, but she is not the kind of person who enjoys himself.
It is also a pleasure to eat delicacies on a jade plate and to eat simple tea and rice.
"I will be returning to Beijing soon. Does Mrs. Li have a message for me to bring to Li Zhihou?"
The Li Zhihou mentioned by Ren Shouzhong is Li Lanhui's younger brother Li Yonghe, and now Li Yonghe's official is Hemen Zhihou.
This official was chosen by military ministers and important officials. It was similar to the official title of a civil official and basically did not hold any actual position.
"That……"
Hearing this, Li Lanhui hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. Can you please wait a moment?"
Although his younger brother is now able to eat and drink well and has an official status, Li Lanhui still feels indebted to his younger brother.
After the two siblings were lost, Li Yonghe was alone and lived a very poor life. Later, he had no choice but to enter the funeral industry and became a papermaker, specializing in making paper money.
In the eyes of the ancients, doing such things often meant being unlucky. If he hadn't been desperate, how could Li Yonghe have started trading dead people?
Hearing this, Ren Shouzhong quickly made a look of panic.
"Ms. Li, you are so polite. It is a small honor to serve Mrs. Li. How dare you take credit?"
So strange.
Seeing Ren Shouzhong's posture in such a relaxed manner, Li Lanhui felt surprised.
A chamberlain who can wear gray and blue robes is at least a valet next to the Queen Mother. This person's position will definitely not be low.
Perhaps in front of the princes in the capital (the princes in the Song Dynasty specifically refer to the prime ministers and ministers), he would be inferior to others.
But if you leave the capital, even local officials must be respectful when they see such celebrities.
Really strange.
I am just a concubine of the late emperor who has been in the cold palace. Why is this person so respectful?
Could it be that something big happened in Beijing?
Could it be the Queen Mother's side...
Suddenly, an idea came into Li Lanhui's mind.
Could it be that the Queen Mother's health is failing?
The chamberlains in the palace are the most attuned to the situation. If the Queen Mother is seriously ill, everything that is happening now will be understandable.
If the Queen Mother ascends to immortality, her identity will most likely be exposed. At that time, it is inevitable that she will be welcomed back to the palace with the benevolence and filial piety of the official family.
Perhaps the envoy's current show of goodwill is paving the way for the future?
With doubts in mind, Li Lanhui returned to the room, and then quickly wrote a letter by hand. As one of the late emperor's concubines, she still had some literary qualities.
However, she didn't write anything casual in her letter, but she used it in plain English.
Li Yonghe lived in poverty when he was young, and his life was barely enough. How could he have money to study and become literate?
Before being found by Liu Mei, Li Yonghe was an out-and-out illiterate, unable to read even a few Chinese characters. It was not until recent years that he began to read and write.
However, it was too late to start. Although Li Yonghe can read now, he is limited to some daily expressions.
In addition, Li Lanhui did not write any taboo words in her letter, even though she wanted to know what happened in Beijing.
But she didn't mention it at all in her letter.
I'm afraid it would be difficult for my younger brother to do the research.
Therefore, she just wrote some stories about her parents and briefly expressed her longing.
There is nothing taboo about these things. Even if the letter is opened privately, it is not a big deal.
Ren Shouzhong came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He stayed in the imperial mausoleum for less than an hour, but his influence had a long lasting aftertaste.
The incident of Jin Feng Shuyi not only shocked Li Lanhui himself, but also caused waves of aftermath in Beijing.
…
…
…
Beijing.
Seeing the stack of greeting cards sent by the concierge, Li Yonghe felt strange. As soon as his home opened the door this morning, the concierge suddenly received several greeting cards.
Greetings?
Of course he had received this thing before, but usually only during the holidays, and the quantity was not large.
After all, he is not a big shot?
The friends he usually associates with do not need to use greetings, mainly because he himself is not used to using this thing.
The greeting card, also known as the name card and the name card, is an indispensable tool in scholarly communication, and its specific function is probably equivalent to the business card in the future.
Generally speaking, in order to show respect, most of the greetings are written by the host himself, but Li Yonghe was not proficient in writing when he was a boy.
Even though I later found my husband to read and learn, his handwriting is only to the point where I can read it.
Write a greeting note yourself?
That is absolutely impossible!
He also has a sense of shame.
Don’t show off your little ink.
To avoid embarrassment!
He rarely sends greetings, and friends who are close to him know this.
When everyone communicates with each other, they rarely engage in formalism.
That's why he was surprised why there were so many invitations to greet him at home, and many of them were from people he had only met once.
Some people have never even met in person.
This is very wrong.
Could it be because of my sister?
But when I think about it carefully, it’s wrong.
My sister has now gone to the imperial mausoleum. What does a concubine of the late emperor who has lost her power have to do with others?
Obviously, Li Yonghe did not know the secrets in the palace.
In order to protect his younger brother, Li Lanhui did not tell his younger brother about the official life experience.
Because it's not necessary.
What if I tell my brother?
It just adds to the worries.
Therefore, Li Yonghe was very slow to changes in the wind direction.
In fact, the people who submitted invitations today are the pathfinders for wealthy families.
Which wealthy family does not support several lower-level forces underground?
These people rely on the rich and powerful families to live their lives, and their actions are naturally based on the will of the rich and powerful families. If they are allowed to go east, they cannot go west.
This is generally true at all times and in all countries.
This group of people have enjoyed the shadow of a wealthy family and must pay a corresponding price.
