Chapter 5 People from the Capital
It seems that the incident of not being the prince did not cause much trouble.
At least for now.
In the month after the national mourning, Taiyuan City was very peaceful and no news came from the capital.
Life is still dull.
But Li Xiuning could feel that there was a huge crisis hidden behind the peaceful days.
She didn't know what the crisis was.
The news from the capital only told her that although the King of Longcheng was dead, the Li family had gained a foothold in the court.
Among the three letters a month, there are more good news than each.
First, the Li family was found out by the court, and there was no guilt, but it was someone else's false accusation.
Then Li Yuan became one of the regent ministers.
In the third letter, it even said that the eldest brother Li Jiancheng was in charge of the Longtan Army, one of the three major armies guarding the capital.
But no matter what Yang Mo was mentioned in every letter, it seemed that they all forgot that Yang Mo still existed.
Li Xiuning was very worried that this intentional neglect would cause changes - for example, canceling his marriage with Yang Mo.
Although Li Xiuning had this idea in her mind, it was contrary to her principles of being a human being.
The engagement between the Li family and the Chai family was not explicitly stated that it was herself and Chai Shao, so she could accept marriage with Yang Mo for the benefit of the family.
The engagement ceremony has been held, and now she is Yang Mo's fiancée.
If at this time, my father would marry Chai Shao in order to win over the Chai family.
In terms of emotion, Li Xiuning is willing to accept it.
But rationally, she must never do this - even if she and Yang Mo are just superficial couples for the rest of their lives, she cannot break her trust.
Li Xiuning has an absolutely rational personality in his work.
So every time she sees Yang Mo, she always feels guilt and apology.
Yang Mo could feel it, but because he didn't know enough about this girl who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he didn't know why she was like this.
Fortunately, I am slowly integrating into this dynasty and there are many things I need to do - such as fiddling with the vegetable field in the backyard, building a kitchen to try cooking, learning to ride a horse with Ma Sanbao, going to the street to watch juggle, and watching old men play chess...
In Li Xiuning's opinion, these things are not what a man should do, and he is even a little disgusted.
But Yang Mo enjoyed it.
Yang Mo knew that the Li family had gained a foothold in the capital.
The more stable the Li family is, the more beneficial it is to him.
After all, during this month, Li Xiuning always hinted that she was the eldest lady of the Li family was a person who kept her word and would never leave him or be responsible for him.
The most important thing is that Ma Sanbao took Li Xiuning's reply to see Chai Shao.
The reply letter is simple and simple, the general meaning is: I have already gotten engaged to someone else. Although we had a good relationship before, don’t write love poems like brothers and sisters for me. We will still be friends in the future. If Brother Shi has other ideas, we can’t even make friends.
Li Xiuning's original text is very short, but it is very domineering, which is very consistent with her personality.
Yang Mo was very happy. The news brought by Ma Sanbao after he came back also made Yang Mo put down the stone in his heart: Young Master Chai was still the warrior who didn't like reading. He bought that poem from a local scholar named Song Zhiwen for a high price.
Song Zhiwen? I just felt that it sounded a little familiar, but after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't remember that I had heard of this name there.
Later I became calm. This world is completely different from the original history. This famous poem was written by Cui Hu in that world, and it is reasonable for Song Zhiwen to write it.
He even had a brainstorm, and it didn't matter that even Song Zhiwen was a time traveler.
Now I hold the Li family's thighs tightly, and there is no problem in my life that I have no worries about food and clothing.
Even if there are other time travelers, it is impossible to fight against a son of the plane like Li Shimin in this feudal society.
Time Traveler sounds awesome, but Yang Mo has been reborn for more than a month. As he understands this world, he gradually becomes convinced of one thing: if modern time Traveler wants to compete with these plane sons who already have a lot of resources in ancient times, he will definitely die miserably.
Want to challenge them by writing poetry? It's even more nonsense.
In his previous life, Su Shi and Li Bai, such great writers, were both losers in political struggles.
A fierce man like Xin Qiji, who is both civil and military, ended up with regret and died.
Even if modern time travelers copy all their poems, they will be at most a complex of three people who fail - they will achieve greater failures.
Although I have many ideas, I still have to face reality.
For example, what to do in the future? It is not very important for Song Zhi to ask if he is a time traveler. It is more realistic to quickly learn to write calligraphy and official language.
What's more, save some private money, even if there are unexpected things in the future, such as Li Xiuning regretting it and having to rest assured himself.
At least he still has the capital to make a comeback - the ups and downs of his previous life made Yang Mo very much like to accumulate trump cards and leave a way out.
Then, the first rain came.
The rain in June was heavy, but it became lighter and continued.
The entire Taiyuan City is shrouded in water mist, with a unique sense of beauty.
On the day it rained, Li Xiuning came back from the military camp, and Ma Sanbao naturally would not follow Yang Mo again.
Sometimes Yang Mo can't see him for a day.
These days at home, Li Xiuning changed out of military uniforms and put on the costumes of the ladies of this dynasty.
She likes to wear red outfits, and the red ladies' skirts are unique to wear.
Li Xiuning also has a personal maid named Chunmei, with a very ordinary name and a very ordinary little girl.
When the rain stopped, Yang Mo went to fiddle with the vegetable garden, and Chunmei jumped over and watched.
The two of them said for a long time, and Yang Mo agreed to her and collect the first batch of vegetables for them to try.
Chunmei grew up in the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. After remembering, she followed Li Xiuning, so she was also a cheerful person.
With this agreement, I was much more kind to Yang Mo and asked a lot of questions. For example, she heard that Yang Mo liked to weave straw sandals when she was in Yanzhou.
Why have I never seen him make up for this for so long?
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Yang Mo also feels that he has forgotten this detail.
The next few days, the rain stopped and he sat in the attic and began to weave straw sandals.
Fortunately, no one disturbed him, so no one doubted the bad defective products he made.
Occasionally, when I saw Li Xiuning from outside the window, I would practice swords in the yard, wearing a tight long skirt, with sharp sword moves, which looked very beautiful.
Ma Sanbao and Chunmei cheered next to her. After practicing a set of sword moves, Li Xiuning, whose face was slightly red, smiled, obviously very happy.
When it rained heavily, the three of them surrounded the sand table to perform.
The girl in a fiery lady's skirt lay on the stone table with her hands, looking at the sand table, frowned, pouted, meditated, or showed off her face.
Every frown and smile was completely unpretentious, and she didn't notice Yang Mo, who was weaving straw sandals in the attic in the distance, was watching.
Through the drizzle, looking from a high place, I feel that the girl is extremely beautiful.
The surrounding corridors and pavilions, blue bricks and ink tiles, are soaked in moist rain, like a landscape painting that is splashed ink.
Occasionally, soldiers came to report military information, and the master and servant went out with umbrellas.
When I returned, the sun set.
The mist covered the deep mansion and the surroundings were very quiet.
A chuckling came from a distance, accompanied by a umbrella of oil cloth.
The girl in red carried the corner of her skirt and stepped on the puddle on the ground, deliberately hiding from Chunmei's flower umbrella behind her. The master and servant were talking and laughing, and then disappeared in the corridor of the courtyard.
After dinner, a long beeping sound made a sound, a red light passed through the rain curtain, and then another strange bark from nowhere further highlighted the deep silence of the entire Duke's Mansion.
Only Yang Mo was in a daze in the attic, admiring Liu Bei for being able to support himself by weaving straw sandals.
Wearing straw sandals is actually quite difficult.
On the day the rain stopped, people came to the capital.
An official said he was visiting Yang Mo, which made Yang Mo, who had been holding on for several days and was not allowed to weave straw sandals. He was puzzled.
Why did the imperial court send officials to see him?
Yang Mo frowned when the famous post was handed over.
