Hello Chang’an

Chapter 358 No Second Court (please vote for me)

Chang Sui Ning silently recited the sentence in the letter in his heart [I heard that the governor Chang Yu in Jiangdu has a reputation worth a thousand gold words, and now I have received a letter of 367 words in your own hand. This letter is so valuable that it is worth a fortune] -

Three hundred and sixty-seven words…

So, he actually sent her these more than three million yuan at the price of one thousand yuan?

Changsui Ning was stunned.

Was the letter she wrote that day so valuable?

Who would dare to believe that the dignified General Xuance suddenly lost all his family assets, and the reason was just because he read a letter?

How can someone who received this letter be so bankrupt?

However, if she had known that such things existed in the world, she would have written more that day... Well, it is not good for a human being to kill everything until nothing is left.

Chang Suining thought jokingly, and then picked up the note that Deputy General Yu handed her today. It was also obvious that it was from his hand, but the handwriting on this note was different from the one on the letter. .

The handwriting on the note was probably addressed to a subordinate. It is still elegant and beautiful, and the end of the pen can be seen as having been written casually.

But in contrast, on the two pages of letter paper written to her, the words were written in a straight and vigorous manner. Each word can be hung up and admired again and again.

Chang Suining thought again about those useless letters he had written in the past, and every word was filled with meticulous seriousness, and every stroke was paid attention to to the extreme.

This is the Cui Jing and Cui Ling'an she recognizes. He never talks much, but every move, word and deed is filled with care and even dedication.

Last time, when he came to see her off after being injured, she asked him what he wanted. He once said that he wanted her to "do what she wanted to do, without having to worry about anything, and no longer be bound by anything."

He also said that he wanted her to "be at peace with Dasheng Jianghe."

His "want" was never just a vain wish that only stayed in words. He did what he said, without any effort or reservation, as if he was executing a supreme military order he had set for himself.

The help he gave her was far more than the three million dollars—

Chang Suining opened the box at hand and took out a thick stack of blueprints. Cui Jing had someone send them along with the letter. Among these blueprints, there were casting drawings of the latest weapons that were more suitable for water warfare, as well as water-based weapons suitable for fighting Japanese troops. Military formation map.

She had once severely defeated the Japanese army, but after all, it was more than ten years ago. Time flies and things change, just like she was shocked when she saw fireworks for the first time at Dengtai Tower.

She has "slept" for more than ten years. The gap in these ten years is a shortcoming that she should make up for as soon as possible, and it must not become her ignorance and fearlessness in blindly underestimating the enemy.

Chang Suining has been consciously studying the changes in weapons, ships and military formations in water warfare in recent years. However, her time is fragmented, and the information collected from different places is different. Such advanced combat methods, Ordinary soldiers, including Chang Kuo, who had not led an army in a naval battle for a long time, would find it difficult to make effective regular distinctions for her -

Therefore, the "treasure box" sent by Cui Jing saved her a lot of trouble. It was equivalent to screening the information she needed and accurately giving her the part she needed most.

In addition, as the general of the Xuance Army, the height and level of military changes he had access to were destined to be far superior to her, the governor of Jiangdu at this time.

Some of the drawings in her hands were even drawn by him himself, and his pen gave her the most detailed analysis of the pros and cons.

After getting these drawings, Chang Suining would look through them again and again every day when he had free time. In her opinion, these blueprints are even more precious than three million dollars. If these things can be learned and used well by leaders, they can save lives at critical moments on the battlefield and even affect the outcome.

In the matter of marching and fighting, when the disparity in strength between the enemy and our own is not large, the method of fighting and the use of weapons and formations are the most important factors that determine victory or defeat.

Chang Suining, who was sitting cross-legged, was holding his chin in one hand and slowly flipping through the drawings with the other. They covered so much. He must have spent a lot of time and energy sorting them out. Counting the time... Could it be that he had just arrived in the North? At that time, you were already working on this matter, right?

However, he did not mention a word of the plans and efforts behind these in the letter, except for a weightless sentence: "These drawings may be of some use in fighting the Japanese army."

Chang Sui Ning couldn't possibly understand Cui Jing's attitude. If she had done this for someone, she would have taken credit for herself as a matter of course, so that the other party would remember her as a big favor -

So, how can someone put in a lot of effort and effort, but always seem to think that their intentions are "not enough to be used"?

It's like the richest person in the world, after giving everything he can give, including sincerity and sincerity, he feels that his contribution is not worth mentioning.

However, this man is extraordinary. His numerous military exploits and people all over the world have given him the recognition he deserves. Moreover, he was born with a rebellious nature, so he should not be a self-conceited person... Why on earth would such a person think that he What if you can’t get rid of the things you gave out?

Chang Suining still held his chin, silently tapping the thick stack of drawings with his fingers in his other hand, lowering his eyes with a smile.

This man is really strange, but also strange and rare.

After a while, she took up a pen and wrote a letter to Cui Jing to express her gratitude. At the end of the letter, she carefully drew a chestnut.

After painting, I took a look, then picked up the pen and added another stroke.

Apart from that, she didn't promise anything in return. She and he had decided to go together, so there was no need for those polite words. She will remember everything he does carefully.

His very practical thoughts are worth remembering.

Chang Suining folded the dry letter paper, put it into the envelope, and sealed it himself.

Not long after, Ah Zhi came in, holding a stack of letters: "Girl, these are the letters delivered today."

All kinds of letters are delivered to the governor's office every day. Letters and government documents directly related to official matters will be handed over to Wang Changshi and others for processing first. As for personal letters, they will be sorted by A Che personally and delivered to Chang Suining.

Ah Zhi put the seven or eight letters on the small table in front of Chang Suining. Chang Suining picked up one, opened it and looked at it, suddenly feeling unlucky.

It was actually a letter from Li Lu.

Behind the seemingly elegant and pleasing handwriting is a hypocritical face that has long been exposed.

Chang Suining was a little surprised when she saw the word "friendly" between the lines. When she was in Xingyang, even the informants placed in the army by Prince Rong were killed. Li Lu also revealed in the letter that he had known about this. things, but he can still be "magnanimous" and not care about her -

Should she praise the other person for his magnanimity, or should she be proud of the value she has shown?

Of course Chang Suining chose the latter.

Li Lu, who was already married, did not even hide his "admiration" for her in his letter. He justly revealed to her that she and he should be on the same road, and his current wife Ma Wan was just placed by the empress. It’s just the eyeliner of Prince Rong’s Mansion—

Chang Suining was confused. What did this have to do with her? He was belittling his wife in every word, thereby raising her status in his heart... Would she feel proud of this?

While Chang Suining found it funny, he couldn't help but glance at Cui Jing's letter.

People who should feel capable of doing so feel that they cannot do so. A person who can't do anything at all has such confidence. The human heart and self-knowledge are really strange things.

Chang Suining was too lazy to take a closer look at Li Lu's hypocritical words that made people roll their eyes, and he didn't intend to reply.

Since she knew all about the things that Prince Rong's Mansion had secretly done, there was no chance for them to have a good relationship with him. On the contrary, the other party threatened her and the Chang family many times, assassinated Cui Jing more than once, and secretly helped the rebels to bring trouble to the people of Jiangshan... These debts will be settled by her in one day when she can stand firmer.

Chang Suining lit Li Lu's letter above the candle, opened the lid of the carved stone incense burner on the side with one hand, and threw the burning letter in, burning away the bad luck.

After closing the stove lid, Chang Sui Ning went to open the next letter. This letter was in a good mood for her. The handwriting on the letter still had the feel of a beginner's writing, and it was a continuous handwriting.

Although the handwriting was a little clumsy, the words in the letter were very powerful. Mianmian said in the letter that she had gone to work in the Imperial College Hospital and would definitely seize the opportunity.

I opened another letter, also from the Qiao family, written by Qiao Yang. Most of the words were filled with sadness for "Wujue's death", but with the hurt, I gradually felt grateful and sighing. This happiness, Derived from "Awu".

Which one is Ah Wu?

Chang Suining looked down in confusion, waiting to see the causes and consequences described by Qiao Yang, and couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

Co-author... In Qiao Yang's place, Wujue has been reincarnated as a son of a bitch?

Seeing the words Qiao Yang used to comfort her, Chang Sui Ning felt guilty in her heart. Maybe she should at least tell Qiao Yang that Wu Jue was still alive? But now, despite being extremely ill, his whereabouts are still unknown—

If she cannot find Wujue safely, telling Qiao Yang the inside story at this time may make him experience sadness for the second time.

She will definitely get Wujue back, and until then, it won't be too late for her to write to Qiao Yang to report that he is safe.

Anyway, now, there is "Awu" comforting Qiao Yang...

Before that, I would just try to "pretend" to be Wujue for the time being.

In this way, although Ah Wu is just a little puppy, the burden on his shoulders is actually quite heavy. At a young age, he is forced to be a substitute for others in order to make a living.

The substitute is drinking milk in Qiao Yang's arms, where is the real owner?

Chang Suining looked out the window, so where did Wujue go?

…

At the same moment, in a bedroom in a single courtyard not far from Chang Suining's residence as governor, Yao Ran was also reading the letter.

She has been busy copying and copying books for these days, and it was only today that she finished her work and was able to return to the governor's house.

She had lived in this courtyard when she first came to the Governor's Mansion with Chang Sui Ning, but she had lived alone before. When she came back today, she found that there was an additional servant girl in the courtyard. After asking, she found out that Chang Sui Ning had prepared it for her. The next one is used to take care of her daily chores.

Yao Ran was about to refuse, but the woman immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yao Ran. The woman said that her husband died in the war, and she still had two daughters to support, and she finally found them in the Governor's Mansion. She got a job and begged Yao Ran to let her stay.

Finally, he said: [My maid will not hinder you from doing big things. The governor said that big things need people to do, and small things also need people to do them. Only when your maid helps you take care of the small things can you concentrate on doing the big things. 】

After Yao Ran heard this, for a moment, he finally raised his hand to help the person up, and said with a smile: "From now on, you and I will do our respective things well." 】

At this time, the woman was sorting Yao Ran's clothes. Yao Ran sat quietly reading the letter and frowned unconsciously.

Her father actually questioned in the letter that the abilities of the adults in her family did not come from him, and concluded that there were people with unknown intentions behind the adults in her family who were using his hands to stir up the situation...

He also told her to pay more attention to this matter and to write to him immediately if she noticed someone strange or suspicious.

Yao Ran looked at the letter and frowned for a long time before writing a reply.

For the first time in her life, she expressed her dissatisfaction with her father's actions so frankly. She and her father clearly explained their bottom line. Now she has to be respected by adults, and she should be loyal to her wholeheartedly. Don't say that there is no basis for what her father said. Even if it is true, she will not pry and reveal the truth about the Lord.

In short, she is an adult. She would rather die than betray the Lord. She only hopes that her father will forgive her.

This time, for the sake of her father and daughter, she just pretended not to know, but if her father behaves like this again, she will have no choice but to hand over his letters to adults for review.

Finally, ask your father, grandmother, uncles and aunts how they are.

—Unfilial daughter, Yao Ran pays your respects.

Early the next morning, Yao Ran sent the letter out. As for Yao Tingwei's reaction when he saw the letter, it is temporarily unknown.

Mr. Luo, who learned that Chang Suining had received more than three million gold yesterday, reacted greatly. As a guest in the governor's study, Lu Xiucai, who had just led people to count the gold, whispered without concealment: "I heard that it was the governor A gift from a friend of your lordship..."

Luo Guanlin was even more surprised when he heard that it was a gift, not even a loan.

Are there people in the world who have so much money and are easy to cheat?

Such a wealthy person must not be an ordinary person. He wanted to find out who his "friend" was, but Lu Xiucai shook his head and said he didn't know. He only sighed: "I have never seen so much gold in my life..."

When he went to the graves during the Qingming Festival to burn origami gold ingots for his ancestors, he didn't even dare to burn them in such a way!

During these days, he not only saw money that he had never seen in his life, but also saw a collection of books that he had never had the chance to touch in his life. Lu Xiucai was so moved that he couldn't help but recite a poem. Luo Guanlin reluctantly listened to it and felt disgusted. walked away.

On the other side, Shen Sanmao, who was watching people putting boxes of gold into the warehouse, was drooling with joy.

In the past, when he was in poverty and was being collected for debts, every time he saw those rich people squandering money, there was only a voice of gritted teeth in his mind - I really want to fight with these rich people, hey!

Now, seeing the governor's friend, who did not want to be named, giving away millions of dollars, the word "pin" was replaced by the word "pro" - I really want to kiss these rich people, don't I?

"Uncle Cat, it's better now. You don't have to lose your hair every night to save money for the governor!" Aman said happily on the way out of the warehouse.

Shen Sanmao sneered: "If we do as you say, then we don't have to stay here in the Governor's Mansion!"

Aman asked puzzledly: "Why?"

Shen Sanmao waved his sleeves and walked forward: "What's the use of raising a cat that doesn't want to catch mice?"

Aman suddenly understood, followed Shen Sanmao, and asked curiously: "Uncle Cat, what will our school be called after it is completed?"

"How do I know? Just ask an adult!"

Luo Guanlin was also asking Amang's question.

According to Chang Sui Ning's wishes, Jiangdu needs to use the soon-to-be-built academy to attract talents, and various places are already working on this matter. Luo Guanlin feels that he must first decide on a name for the academy before it can be known.

Chang Sui Ning stood behind the desk and wrote three characters - Wueryuan.

There really aren’t any breaks today, right?

Good night!
