The man named Li greeted Leng Lanzhi in a very flattering tone, and then told an interesting incident that happened in his jurisdiction.
One day when he was out for an outing, he passed by a village full of children and women.
The women are all as beautiful as flowers, and their homes are always filled with fine wine.
That day, the officials had a great time eating and drinking in this village, which was like a Taoyuan holy land. When they went back, they were all light-headed.
A few days later, he remembered the taste of the wine that day, and wanted to go to that village to taste the wine, but found that there was no Taoyuan village in that place, just a deserted forest.
He remembered that he had asked about the name of the village at that time, and when he returned to the county office and looked through the files, he was surprised to find that there was no such village in his jurisdiction.
Such an anecdote, he wrote it into the book as an interesting anecdote, hoping to make the princess laugh.
Leng Lanzhi stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the table with his right middle finger a few times, a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
After a moment, she said: "Go to the princess' office and get all the official documents in the fiefdom in recent years."
The official documents sent to the princess's mansion, except for those that have important matters to deal with, other insignificant documents will not be sent back to the fief, but will be sealed up.
For example, this excerpt about interesting stories presented by Mr. Li.
Not long after, Liusha came back with two large boxes.
Leng Lanzhi asked people to find the greeting envelopes sent by the gentleman named Li Changlin. Not long after, Liusha found three envelopes.
Leng Lanzhi opened it and saw that what was written on these notebooks were indeed insignificant things.
She put down the book and let out a breath.
After a moment, she whispered to the outside: "Ah Qing."
Ah Qing came in quickly, knelt on one knee, and said with a cold but respectful expression: "Princess."
Leng Lan said: "I have assigned you a new mission."
***
There are now only three of the four Jinxing Guards left. Except for Axiang and Alan who have to protect Leng Lanzhi every day, only one person is left who can go out to do things.
Leng Lanzhi suddenly discovered that there were not many available people under his noble and unparalleled princess.
The only few capable people she borrowed from Jinxing Division were using the favors Gu Zhan owed her.
She thought about it for a moment, and then she was shocked.
Before she got married, she relied on her father. After she got married, she was so focused on pleasing Shen Yizhi that she had no life of her own at all.
Even these people in the princess's residence are sent from the palace, and all appointments and arrangements must be made according to the instructions of the palace.
Of course, until she loses power, no one dares to touch anyone in the princess's house.
However, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The uneasiness comes from this illusory dignity, which is like a mirror, a flower in the water, a castle in the air.
She realized that besides being in love, there might be other reasons why she was plotted to death by Shen Yizhi in her previous life.
Father's birthday is getting closer and closer, and Shengjing is becoming more lively.
Many officials who came from other places and carriages of princes who came back from their fiefdoms appeared on the street from time to time, making the already lively streets even more crowded.
The luxurious chariot was walking up and down the street. It usually only took two quarters of an hour to enter the palace, but now it took a full hour.
However, Leng Lanzhi was already used to it.
This is also the case in normal years. Whenever the emperor's father, mother or grandmother celebrates their birthday, Shengjing will become more lively than before.
After spending a while with her mother in the palace, she talked, and then went to see the princess's sister-in-law for a while, before Leng Lanzhi went back home.
Not long after returning home, the housekeeper came to report that the consort had gone to work.
Only six or seven days had passed since that day of the cane punishment. Logically speaking, Shen Yizhi's injury would not heal so quickly.
He ran to work so quickly, presumably because he was worried that his job would be taken away by others again.
Leng Lanzhi didn't want to use the same method a second time, so Shen Yizhi was worrying in vain this time.
Leng Lanzhi was right.
The reason why Shen Yi rushed back to work in such a hurry, without even caring about his injuries, was that he was worried about what would happen to his job.
Although he is the prince of Pingnan Hou, his father is a loser and has no influence at all in the court. He cannot be assigned any position and has to rely on himself for everything.
He used his six years of military exploits to become a sixth-grade Qianhu.
He was angry and unwilling at the same time. He felt that the emperor was overqualified and underused, and that he had been implicated by Leng Lanzhi.
Otherwise, with his talents and achievements, he would have to be at least a fourth-grade deputy camp general, right?
However, no.
Even a guy like Zhang Zhongqian who has no foundation can now be equal to him.
An unprecedented sense of urgency arose in his heart, and he felt that if he didn't work hard, he would become a complete joke.
He has already figured out that although the suburbs of Beicheng are not a good place, if it can be managed properly, it may not be a shining achievement in his career.
Dragging his burning buttocks, Shen Yizhi finally finished a day's work. After handing over the shift with his colleagues in charge of the night shift in the evening, he thought about it and decided to go back to Pingnanhou Mansion to visit.
The last time his mother left, he was being executed.
My mother didn’t know how worried and sad she was!
And his sweetheart.
As for the naughty boy Shen Lin'an, although he was a little worried, he was more angry.
If it weren't for this naughty kid, he wouldn't have suffered so much.
But that was his only child after all, so what if he got angry again? I can only force myself to suppress my anger, continue to love and care for him, and try to straighten this crooked sapling so that it can thrive.
Thinking of asking Shen Lin'an to change his ways, he suddenly remembered that when he was on the border a few years ago, Shen Lin'an was only three years old and had just started school. He did well in his daily homework and was extremely well-behaved and sensible.
And this was all because he was by Jiao'er's side and had the guidance of his mother.
Shen Yizhi thought that maybe Yu Waner could be asked to take care of Shen Linan's daily life in the future, so that Shen Linan might be able to make people worry less.
This time when he returned to the house, Ms. Zhao was so distressed that she wiped her eyes in tears.
Shen Yizhi hurriedly comforted his mother and finally coaxed her. He asked: "Mom, where is An Erniang?"
At the same time, I made a calculation in my mind.
An'er has now been expelled from Xiangyun Academy, and other academies are no longer willing to accept him. If he wants An'er to continue studying, he can only hire a teacher from outside.
Moreover, it is not possible to find the one in Shengjing, because it is best to find it from other places.
Because the scholars in Shengjing must know what happened outside Xiangyun Academy and have misunderstandings about An'er's character.
Scholars pay most attention to reputation, and these people will definitely not be willing to teach An'er.
The gentlemen from out of town didn't know what happened in Beijing, so after inviting them here, they signed a long-term contract for several years. Even if they knew about An'er's expulsion from the academy, they would not be able to regret it.
But with her husband's patient teaching, Jiao'er's supervision, and An'er's clever mind inherited from him, it won't take more than a few years for An'er to become a talented person.
At that time, Leng Lanzhi will regret it!
I regret that I missed such an outstanding child.
