Zhu Youtang finished his words.

Zhang Mao couldn't help but look at Li Dongyang and Ma Wensheng, with a sense of "Do you understand? Why don't I understand?"

After Zhu Youtang had retreated a few people, Zhang Mao could not help but ask Xiao Jing, who was in charge of sending them off, outside the Qianqing Palace: "Eunuch Xiao, Your Majesty is not willing to sacrifice Tang Yin's life in exchange for Ming Dynasty's use of troops against Korea. ? Who did he provoke? "

Li Dongyang couldn't help but glance sideways at Zhang Mao.

His eyes seemed to be asking, do you still sympathize with Tang Yin?

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "This is His Majesty's wish. Our family dare not discuss it arbitrarily."

Li Dongyang said: "Is it His Majesty's intention or Lai Guogong's intention?"

"Haha." Xiao Jing smiled bitterly, as if he couldn't answer the question.

Zhang Mao said with a puzzled face: "Isn't Zhang Bingkuan the most respectful to Tang Bohu? We are from the same sect, so we can't offend him."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Dongyang and Ma Wensheng with questioning eyes, meaning you are here to explain?

Li Dongyang and Ma Wensheng will not discuss this kind of issue.

Xiao Jing said: "Isn't it the duty of a minister to serve his country and the country till death? It's a pity that our family didn't have the opportunity to go. If so, our family would also be willing to take Mr. Tang's place... Let's talk about him He is an envoy from the Ming Dynasty. No matter how rude North Korea is, it would not dare to do anything to an envoy from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Mao smiled bitterly and said: "We have already gone to instigate rebellion, why don't we dare to do anything? But the soldiers who followed Ming Dynasty may not come back."

"this……"

Xiao Jing was speechless.

He felt that this plan was a bit nonsense. It would be fine to sacrifice Tang Yin alone. The key point was that Tang Yin would also bring the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty... Could it be that Zhang Zhou only meant that Tang Yin should go alone and take away the two hundred elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty? Everybody come down? If that's the case...it's no different from pushing Tang Yin to die.





Li Dongyang took a rest that day, returned home during the day, and learned that his daughter did not attend class.

So he called Li Wei over.

"...The female gentleman has not been here twice. Maybe I made a bad request last time and made the female gentleman difficult. It is my daughter's fault." Li Jue obediently bowed her head in front of her father.

Li Dongyang said: "What is the request?"

Li Zhaoxian, who was following along from the side, said hurriedly: "Father, don't blame my little sister, it's my son..."

"Has my father asked you?" Li Dongyang was already in a bad mood.

It seems that Zhang Zhou is no longer in power, and the pressure on the cabinet has been reduced a lot, but Zhang Zhou's problems in Liaodong are getting bigger and bigger, and now he has to discuss with the emperor to overthrow the leader of Korea, and the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty are actually planning Didn’t know until just before execution?

It's strange that Li Dongyang is in a good mood.

Li Jue said: "I told the female gentleman to ask her to write more poems."

"Nonsense." Li Dongyang wanted to scold him.

But he cherishes his family very much, especially after Li Zhaoxian came back with his life, he felt that the family was inseparable.

He fought with others in court, but only at home did he feel like a serious man.

"If the person doesn't come, then change it and look for someone to come back." Li Dongyang originally disliked Zhang Zhou, but now that Lin Yi is from Zhang Zhou's house, he is also prejudiced.

Li Jue said: "This is your fault. I'll go and apologize to you sir."

Li Dongyang couldn't help but frown.

He didn't expect that his daughter would admire Lin Yi so much. Then look at the son next to him... What kind of look is this? You are actually so enthusiastic about a married woman? Are you brothers and sisters crazy?

Li Zhaoxian hurriedly defended: "Father, why not find someone to send a message to apologize and explain the situation. Let Zhang Ruren teach my sister in the future."

Li Dongyang said: "It's not impossible, but you stay away. This has nothing to do with you."

"Um?"

Li Zhaoxian was still confused. What does this have to do with me?

It’s just that my sister is chasing stars, and I’m chasing them too. As for the rest... Father, are you too narrow-minded?

"Send someone." Li Dongyang didn't bother to pay attention. Now that his daughter has no engagement, she is in trouble. But the problem is...

He had been married to the Kong family, had an engagement, and had the engagement forcibly terminated. Even if he was on the side of the Li family, outsiders would not dare to approach him casually, which made Li Dongyang very anxious.





Lin Yi really didn't dare to run to Li's house recently.

If she goes, she will have to write poetry. She doesn’t know how to write poetry. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to go?

Besides, even if Miss Lin Er is a concubine and is stingy and loves money, she has everything after entering the Zhang Mansion and does not need to teach to earn three melons and two dates. Moreover, she is a married woman. Women have a bad reputation, so...it is a respect for teachers to skip classes first.

However, the Li family was still sent a letter of apology, and Jiang Pingyu delivered it to her.

"lady……"

Lin Yi was still a little nervous after seeing Jiang Pingyu.

Although Jiang Pingyu usually cared about and loved her, she always felt that this was a secret war between the Zhang family, just like a palace fight. If she was not wary, she would die quickly.

It also has something to do with what happened to her mother. No matter how kind Lin Han's wife Ruan was to them, she only did it for the sake of face. She still looked down on them and even used various ethical methods to suppress them.

Jiang Pingyu actually felt inferior in front of Lin Yi, because Jiang Pingyu felt that the daughter of a wealthy family had no right to be a concubine, and what qualifications did she have to be able to control such a powerful woman?

"The Li Mansion sent someone and wrote a letter. They also specifically told you that it's for you, Sister Lin. If you don't want to go, that's okay. Just send someone over and say it."

Jiang Pingyu still understood Lin Yi.

Zhang Zhou is not in Beijing, and if he still goes out to teach people according to the teaching job he took before the marriage, he will inevitably be misunderstood.

Lin Yi nodded slightly and said: "I... I still won't go, I can't write any poems... Miss Li is gentle and generous, and her knowledge is not inferior to mine. I have nothing to teach."

Jiang Pingyu said: "Poetry? There are some poems and sentences in the master's study. He also compiled a booklet. If you need it, it doesn't hurt to go and have a look."

"ah?"

Lin Yi was shocked.

For a concubine like her, Zhang Zhou's study was an absolutely forbidden area. It was the place where Zhang Zhou worked and received some Confucian officials. How could she, a female prostitute, be qualified to set foot there?

Jiang Pingyu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's okay, the master said that there is no place in the house that we can't go to, except don't let the children go in and make trouble. If you have been with the master for a long time, you will know that he means what he means, not what he means. It’s just a pretense. That’s fine, there’s no barrier between the family, so feel free to go and have a look, or I’ll get it for you.”

"No...don't...I..."

Lin Yi didn't know what to say when faced with such a well-educated and courteous lady.

Jiang Pingyu said: "Don't mess it up. We don't know how to clean it up. In fact, it's a mess inside. Maybe I'm used to flipping through books casually."





Lin Yi finally entered that mysterious place.

She was actually also curious about what kind of books Zhang Zhou usually read, and how he became the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Lai, a general with excellent military skills, and a pretentious criminal who was proficient in poetry and poetry.

When she entered Zhang Zhou's study in the new house, she found that it was ordinary. There wasn't even a decent collection of classics and history books. Instead, what was placed on the table were martial arts novels, playbooks, and equations. Collecting, smelting and manufacturing drawings, etc...

Various.

Many of them are half-finished drafts. If they are very important, they have been put away by Zhang Zhou.

Because Lin Yi didn't dare to move, he rummaged carefully for a long time before finding the legendary "Collection of Poems".

Turning to the first page, there are two words "For Men" written on it.

Lin Yi was startled.

What does it mean?

On the second page, there was a poem, "Linjiang Immortal·Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Passing East". After Lin Yi read it, he was dumbfounded.

The third page, "Miscellaneous Poems of Yi Hai".

Lin Yi first counted with her fingers. Now is the Gengshen year, and the last Yihai year was forty-five years ago... How did a man in his family write "Yihai Miscellaneous Poems"? Does the so-called Yihai refer to the month of Yihai? Or Yihai Day?

There are more than 300 poems in the entire "Yihai Miscellaneous Poems". It is impossible for Zhang Zhou to remember them all. After all, some of them are not very high in attainments.

But just one song can make Lin Yi look straight.

Especially when she saw "Luohong is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers", Lin Yi's face turned red instantly.

Looking further down, there are lines in the miscellaneous poems such as "I urge God to cheer up and send talents of any kind", which she read for a long time.

Then there are some very miscellaneous words and phrases, and even "Bamboo and Stone" in "Bamboo and Stone" "Still strong despite being struck hard, regardless of the wind from east to west, north or south".



Lin Yi's original impression of Zhang Zhou was still cynical, mysterious, and evil, which made ripples in her heart. But after she saw so many poems, that impression instantly became much higher.

As she gradually read down, this impression became even deeper, because what Zhang Zhou could record was reserved for some collection of poems that would be published in the future, so that he could show off, but at the moment he did not need to use such things to show off. , so it cannot be used.

"Sister, have you found it?"

Jiang Pingyu saw that Lin Yi had not come out after entering the study, so she couldn't help but come over to ask what happened.

Lin Yi seemed to have done something wrong and hurriedly put the collection of poems away, only to realize in an instant that Jiang Pingyu had asked her to read this?

"It's... not bad."

Lin Yi's heart was now filled with turmoil, and it was difficult to speak.

Jiang Pingyu said: "Is there nothing suitable? Then just choose and use it casually. The master doesn't care about this anyway. His poems are also your poems."

"No...it can't be like this." Lin Yi said quickly.

"I don't understand this either. As long as my sister is happy." Jiang Pingyu also realized that she might have said the wrong thing. How could she just let Lin Yi plagiarize her husband's work?

What happened?

After Jiang Pingyu went out, Lin Yi continued to read down until the end. When there were two pages left, the word "for women" suddenly appeared.

Lin Yi looked over with wide eyes.

There is also an annotation in small characters below: "Dedicated to my concubine Lin".

Lin Yi blushed instantly.

Is this a poem written for yourself?

Looking through it again, I saw that the content was written in a very feminine way. It can be said that it was almost written from a female point of view. "If life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan? It is easy to change the heart of the old, but it is easy to change the heart of the old." The words of Lishan are gone till midnight, and the tears and rain are heard in the end without complaint. How can I be lucky enough to be a man in brocade clothes, and I will wish for you that day even if my wings are connected to the branches."

After Lin Yi read it, he was first attracted by the beauty of the words.

Then she realized a problem.

what does this mean? It sounds like you are lamenting the fickleness of people's hearts, and are you still lamenting that I want to leave you? Or do you think, based on my tone of voice, that you are going to be Hakusuki Kinichiro?

Initially, Lin Yi was happy that Zhang Zhou wrote a poem for her, but then she felt that the poem was poorly written and a bit disappointed in her "deep affection".

When she came out to see Jiang Pingyu again, she said to Jiang Pingyu: "Madam, please send someone to tell the Li family that I am not going. I don't want the next ones, and I will also return the previous ones." Give it to them. I am a married woman and can no longer go out and show off."

"Why?" Jiang Pingyu was surprised.

You can still go out to see the world, and no one will stop you. Even the one you have made friends with is the daughter of Ge's hometown. You don't want to go?

Lin Yi seemed to have a grudge, shook her head and said: "I want to learn more about caring for my husband and teaching my children. I can't just teach others and fail to learn it myself."

"Really? Then...that's up to you."

Jiang Pingyu smiled bitterly.

After Lin Yi left, Jiang Pingyu entered the study room, but seeing that Lin Yi was in a hurry when she left, and left the letter written by Li Jue on the table, Jiang Pingyu thought she had read the content.

After seeing the sincere apology request above, Jiang Pingyu also saw the poem that seemed to be written by Zhang Zhou to Lin Yi. Then she seemed to have an idea and wrote the poem herself without signing it or signing it. Just like that, someone sent it back to the Li family.

Jiang Pingyu quite likes selling her sister a favor.

People like your poems, so since they are poems written by your husband, why not let you go out and become a talented woman?





When the letter was sent back to Li's house.

After Li Wei opened it, he found that this was not a letter in the traditional sense, because there was only a poem written in it.

"Miss, Abao, who came back, said that Miss Lin was wrong. It was the Lai people who would never come again. He also said that he would return all the repairs, but he still gave such a letter. He probably made it clear to the lady. .”

After Li Jue read it, he was also stunned.

The correspondence between sisters is probably so unusual that it can be understood in any way with just one poem.

If from Lin Yi's perspective, this is what Lin Yi wrote, then this is lamenting the thin lover.

But from the perspective of a best friend, it can also be said that she, Li Ju, violated the original relationship between teacher, student and friend... Of course, this understanding is still a bit biased. After all, Bo Qinglang is indeed mentioned at the end of the poem.

"The female gentleman also has an unknown past."

This was Li Jue’s most direct realization after reading the poem, “But it seems that I have also failed her. Is it the easiest time for people around me to betray the trust of others? Aren’t I also the person I hate in my heart? Then I …How should I apologize?”

Lin Yi's reaction made Li Jue feel that this was a break from friendship.

Before breaking up the relationship, I also sent poems as promised.

This is so sad and lost... Not only Lin Yi was depressed because of this poem, but Li Wei was also depressed after reading it.

This is not what Zhang Zhou, who wrote poetry, could have imagined.

Zhang Zhou’s purpose was just to leave a poem to Lin Yi so that she could show off and maintain her reputation as a talented woman. After all, people like Nalan Rongruo who like to write poems from a female perspective are rare. Those sentiments Poems about love and love are indeed not suitable for a man like him who has already achieved fame on the battlefield to publish.

So do these poems really need to be left behind, waiting for history to discover them?

Because of Zhang Zhouzai and the existence of the butterfly effect, there will be no Qing Dynasty, no Nalan Rongruo, and even Tang Yin will not write any more "Peach Blossom Temple Song". It can be said that what he wrote Each of his poems will no longer exist in history, and there will be more famous poets born because of his appearance... Of course, that's all for later.

"Little sister, I heard that Miss Lin wrote you a letter? Do you have any poems?"

Li Zhaoxian heard that the Zhang family had sent someone to reply to the letter. He also tried very hard to invite his sister out of the inner courtyard.

Li Jue looked disappointed and said: "No, the female gentleman said that she will not come again in the future. She... doesn't have any poems for me."

Because Li Ju felt that he had failed Lin Yi, he naturally would not show Lin Yi's words to others.

It seemed that Li Wei also understood.

As a married woman, Lin Yi no longer needs to use poems to justify herself. What others pursue is a peaceful married life, but she is like a obsessed girl. Every time she asks others to write poems, she uses the lifestyle she pursues, or in other words, He asked Lin Yi to embarrass Lin Yi in the way he wanted to express himself.

"That... is quite a pity." Li Zhaoxian said, "Don't take it to heart, little sister. Father will hire a new female teacher for you. When the time comes..."

"I don't need anyone except the female Mr. Lin family. Brother, you can leave. If you go out to discuss knowledge with others in the future, don't come to me!"

Lin Yi was also angry.

When she feels that it is her fault, she also feels that it is her elder brother who has led her astray.

Li Zhaoxian was too casual, because Li Dongyang spoiled his eldest son, and Li Jue also had an independence that women in this era did not have. When she had her own ideas, she would think about making up for her relationship with Lin Yi. Worry about what others want, think about what others want.

More because.

This poem made him respect Lin Yi even more.





Inside the multi-walled city.

Tang Yin finished dinner...two dishes and one soup... Tang Yin couldn't do anything else. He knew how to enjoy life as long as living conditions allowed.

The soup is fish soup. Someone caught it from the river in the back mountain, and I came here specially to pay tribute to him.

There was no enemy outside the city, but he was not in a hurry to send troops to attack everywhere. However, North Korea sent troops to plunder food to ensure basic survival in the city.

"Bohu, why don't we leave?"

Xu Jing came to see Tang Yin after dark.

Tang Yin asked leisurely: "Should we leave this solid mountain city to the Koreans or the Jurchens of the Huifa Department? When the Jurchens besieged the city, we didn't have any worries. What are we worried about now?"

Xu Jing thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

"But we don't have many military exploits. Let's attack a few more villages... and learn from Uncle Xin Xin." Xu Jing suggested again.

"No need." Tang Yin sighed, "It is my heart's wish to return to the Ming Dynasty safely."
