Daily Life of Jiang Liuniang

   Chapter 1203 The Liu family couple

Emperor Jinghe summoned three patriarchs to discuss court affairs in Xuande Hall. The patriarchs stepped back. Liu Juntang, the living roomman sitting behind the screen, was arranging the questions and answers between Longcai and pavilion according to his shorthand manuscript. recorded on the daily note.

   After discussing for a long time but inconclusive, Jing Hedi was restless and wanted to find someone to gossip for a while. However, Jiang Feng went out of the city to inspect the collection of autumn grains in the counties of Jifu, and it was not fun to gossip with others, so Emperor Jing He turned his eyes to the screen on the right.

   Jiang Feng is not here, Jiang Feng's son-in-law is here. Although he was not as good as Jiang Feng, Emperor Jinghe could see through it at a glance, but Liu Juntang had a handsome face, elegant literary style, outstanding memory, moderate advance and retreat, and he was very holy. Otherwise, Emperor Jinghe would not have appointed him as a living roomman.

After walking around the screen, Emperor Jing He saw that Liu Juntang's shorthand manuscript contained a lot of odd-shaped lines, which was very different from the shorthand manuscript of his predecessor Zui Julang, so he asked curiously, "Qing has written the manuscript like this, can you clearly understand it? Identify what is written?"

  Liu Juntang stood up and saluted, "Long live back, I can tell."

  Jing Hedi was even more curious, "Qing repeats what Zuo Xiang said about Menghuai's two states."

  According to the etiquette system, the daily notes truthfully record the words and deeds of the emperors for future generations to use in the history, and the emperors are not allowed to read them. Because the emperor's good deeds and bad deeds will be recorded in the daily note, which can restrain the king's words and deeds and remind the king to reflect on himself. Therefore, when Emperor Jinghe asked about what Liu Juntang had recorded, he asked Zuo Xiang's correct answer, not what he agreed with.

Liu Juntang turned over two pages of the manuscript, found the coil representing Zuoxiang, and then read, "The emperor asked Zuoxiang: How is the report of the Minister of the Household? Zuoxiang replied: 'In the past five years, the Yellow River has flooded twice, to protect the emperor's capital. , the court ordered twice to blow up the dykes of Menghuai and Huaizhou, causing water to flood the city-state, destroying thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the people were deprived of food and clothing. State Qiu Fu, to appease the victims, so as not to cause chaos."

   Yang Feng praised, "Master Liu's recording is not bad."

   Jing and the Emperor asked with a smile, "Is this shorthand method invented by Qing?"

Liu Juntang has been with Emperor Jinghe for many years, and of course he knows that he hates officials to use clichés and lies to fool him, so he truthfully said, "Long live back, this method was created by Jiang Siyuan, the wife and brother of the minister. Get this method, practice it."

  Jing He Di raised his eyebrows, "Jiang Siyuan? The eldest son of the Hou family of Le An who is too lazy?"

Uh…

   Leaving such an impression on Wanzai is very unfavorable for the sixth brother to grow up and enter office. Liu Juntang tried his best to help him recover, "Long live, Siyuan, under the supervision of his father-in-law, has devoted himself to learning, and earnestly completes the lessons left by the master every day."

   King and Di Hehe. Jiang Aiqing taught his son to devote himself to learning? I ran a horse race with him in the suburbs last month. When he mentioned his lazy son, he couldn't hide the envy on his face.

   Liu Juntang bowed again, "Long live, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not."

   "Tell me." Jing He Di was in despair, turned around and walked to the window to pick up a small **** and loosen the soil for the Mobaolan in the basin.

   Long live is unhappy, we have to make him happy first. Liu Juntang followed to the window, "Although Chen Guan Siyuan is 'lazy', it is not that he is not diligent, but that he is unwilling to be 'vain'. He is not lazy at all when it comes to what he thinks is right. In order to be able to marry his sixth sister , the seven-year-old Siyuan worked hard for a year and a half..."

   "In the end, it still didn't work out." After Jing Hedi finished speaking, he laughed.

   There is nothing that you don't know about what happened at the father-in-law's house. Long live the coaxing joy, Liu Juntang smiled and introduced the topic, "Although it didn't work out, when her sister got married, Siyuan worked hard to support her leg and send it out of the house. It's not in vain. Siyuan came up with it. In order to fulfill his filial piety, Siyuan figured out a set of small farm tools, so that his grandmother, who likes flowers and plants, is labor-saving and happy when turning the soil, weeding and fertilizing the potted plants. It is because Siyuan does not want to be in vain, so he can think a lot. The method of doing more with less. Although some of the methods are ironic, there are also some good ideas.”

  Jing Hedi stared at the delicate little **** Jiang Feng gave him, thoughtfully.

   Seeing Long Live listened in, Liu Juntang stopped when he clicked, returned to the screen and continued to record the daily notes. Of course, the conversation between Liu Juntang and Wan Sui just now will also be recorded.

   When Liu Juntang got up to retire, Emperor Jinghe suddenly asked, "I heard that Qing's family is rich and does not worry about gold and silver. What do you ask for?"

Liu Juntang froze in his heart, quickly sorted out his words, and replied, "Long live back, because my father is good at business and has accumulated some family wealth, so the minister did not worry about food and drink since he was a child, and he only cares about what he likes. Excellent work, then Xun Xun and enjoy it. Therefore, the minister has learned enough to pass the test of childhood, and he has no intention of seeking fame and fame, just because he likes to read. After the test of childhood, the minister went out of the house at the bottom of the well to observe the various states of the world and the suffering of the people. I want to learn from the sages and do my best for the country and the people."

   Emperor Jinghe asked again, "Your Excellency is now occupied with worldly affairs and has no time to get drunk on poetry and books. Do you feel regretful?"

  Liu Juntang shook his head, "The lord's salary is divided into the lord's worries, and he can read poetry and books in his spare time when he returns to the mansion. The two complement each other, and there is no regret."

   At ten in the evening, there were no courtiers to meet, and the living roomman retired, and the living roomman who served as the **** recorded the daily living in the imperial palace. Yang Feng smiled and said, "Long live, Liu Juntang is not an official for money."

  Jing Hedi nodded, "This son is a useful talent."

  Long live means that Liu Juntang is a bit inferior to being a clerk, and Yang Feng smiled and said nothing.

   When Liu Juntang returned to the mansion to change clothes and rushed to Linjingxuan in the West Garden, he raised his hand so that the maid wouldn't have to disturb the wife and daughter in the room, he picked up the curtain and walked in. Seeing that his wife was painting, and his eleven-month-old daughter was sitting next to him playing with the cloth tiger that his wife sewed for her, Liu Juntang looked at this warm scene and felt extremely satisfied.

When    Long Live asked him if he had any regrets, Liu Juntang only answered half of it. The real reason he had no regrets was because of Jiang Muyan. In Dayunjing Temple, when he saw Jiang Muyan looking at the landscape painting, Liu Juntang knew that he had found a soulmate. He was ecstatic and approached her cautiously until he married her and accompanied her. Accompanying her, a painting or a poem can make Liu Juntang happy to the bottom of his heart. She is accompanied by poetry and books every day, and Liu Juntang is with her, so she can have no regrets.

  Jiang Muyan put down her pen and raised her phoenix eyes, and when she saw her husband came back, her cold face showed a smile. Her smile, like a light-smoked ink painting, has an indescribable poetic meaning. Liu Juntang loved her so much, he stepped forward and held her fingers and kneaded gently, his eyes fell on the painting.

   She painted lotus leaves in the small pond outside Linjingxuan. In the pond in September, the lotus pods outnumber the remaining flowers, and there is no rain cover on the water surface. It is clearly a scene of decline, but Yan'er has drawn the arrogance of the residual lotus and fighting frost, which is awe-inspiring. Liu Juntang showed a smile, "Yan'er, can I add more to my husband and make up two strokes?"

   Jiang Muyan's phoenix eyes gleamed, "After finishing, I will write a poem."

   "After finishing the work, if Yan'er agrees, I will mention a poem that fits the scene." Then he turned the pen to the surface of the water, two ripples appeared, and then he lifted his glittering phoenix eyes and smiled at his wife.

   A good picture of the residual lotus fighting frost, but he should be the residual lotus under the moon. The weeping willows on the shore did not move, but the water ripples, why is this? Jiang Muyan suddenly remembered the absurd thing he did when he was pulling his lotus pond boating last night, and his face became red.

   Liu Juntang saw that she understood, leaned over her round and fleshy earlobe, and asked in a low voice, "A poem..."

  Bah, bastard!

   Jiang Muyan immediately covered the blank area of ​​the painting with a paperweight. If he was asked to write obscene words and **** songs, the painting would have to be hidden at the bottom of the box! Hearing him snickering smugly in her ear, Jiang Muyan was embarrassed and annoyed, and forcibly changed the subject, "Tomorrow, the fifth sister's house will bring the child full moon wine, and I will invite Liu'er to go with me."

  Liu Juntang was afraid of being annoyed, and was locked out of the room today to "self-examination", so he had to forgive her with great regret, "I'll pick you and Yaoer back after I leave."

   Jiang Muyan shook her head, "Husband has been working hard all day, it's good to rest in the mansion. I will go back with Liu'er, and I will also go to her mansion for a small gathering."

   "Alright." Liu Juntang hugged his sweet wife, but he felt a little uncomfortable. Because he found that in Yan'er's heart, he was far less important than Sixth Sister.

  How can this be good…
