Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Second Murder Is Hidden
As the third update approached, Li Mingde dragged his tired body back from Heshantang to his study, and his father's roar echoed in his ears. His father is old and getting hotter, and his recent forced force has made his father lose his mind. Li Mingde noticed the flush on his face of Master Li, and this unhealthy red marks the father's heart.
Sitting heavily on the cotton chair, Li Mingde felt sore all over. How to deal with the crisis in front of him? He had different views with his father. His father's decision was too radical. If he failed, the Li family's three hundred-year foundation may suffer a fatal blow.
The strong north wind blew open the door, and the cold wind blew in from the open door, making the candlelight shaking. It was already November, and the servant who stayed behind in the middle of the night did not know where the cat was to keep warm and beat. Li Mingde stood up and tied the door. The coldness of the winter night made his mind clear.
My father was the head of the family. Since he made a decision, he would implement it. Li Mingde picked up a pen and began to write letters to his clan brother Li Mingxing and his sixth brother Li Mingyi, asking them to find a way to contact other aristocratic families and attacked Tianmu, the Qing Dynasty on the first day of the dynasty. It is now the sixth day of the lunar month, and it only takes twelve days to send a letter from Anqi to the capital, and time should be too late.
After writing the letter, Li Mingde fell into deep thought, and his father was going to kill Jiang Anyi. Renzhou Qing Dynasty was forced to make a great situation by Jiang Anyi. No wonder his father gritted his teeth when he talked about this person. If he put aside his position, Li Mingde was full of favor for this talented top scholar.
Thinking of his father saying in a disdainful tone, "The top scholar is released in three years, it's not a rare thing to do", Li Mingde sighed. If Jiang Anyi can become a couple with Tong'er, the fight will end harmoniously. Even if the Li family gives up more than a thousand acres of land, it is worth it. Li Mingde made up his mind that no matter how his father decides, he will give it a try in the end.
In November, Anqi County was extremely cold, with several heavy snowfalls, and many families in the countryside were crushed. County Magistrate Ning Rengui took the opportunity to take the yamen runners to the countryside to provide disaster relief every day, and the matter of clearing the fields was temporarily suspended.
Linhe County Xiangdongrong reported that he had obtained many secret contracts signed privately, but the county resisted from top to bottom. Yu Zhijie couldn't sit still in Anqi County and rushed to Linhe County to put out the fire.
Jiang Anyi originally wanted to go with his mentor, but November 16th was Xuchanghua's birthday. The two had already agreed not to return without getting drunk. As soon as Liu Yushan came back from Xingguo County, Yu Zhijie asked Jiang Anyi to stay in Anqi County and took Liu Yushan away.
It snowed all night on the evening of the fifteenth, and when I woke up in the morning, the ground was covered with a quilt of more than three inches thick.
Seeing Jiang Anyi changing into the brocade robe that was going out, Shi Tou's mouth was hung with an oil bottle, and he walked forward in a hurry. Jiang Anyi tapped the stone head with a golden tracing fan and asked, "I have finished writing the ten red tracing pictures today, and you are not allowed to go out until you finish writing them."
"Young Master, it's so cold that the mo is so hard that I can't even grind it. Why wait until the snow stops before writing." Shi Tou pulled Jiang Anyi's neck of clothes and refused to let go.
Jiang Anyi said helplessly: "Come on your clothes quickly, pick up your things and go with me."
Xu's house, the gatekeeper led Jiang Anyi, and Shi Tou smiled and followed him into the house. Because it was just a birthday, there were no lanterns in the house, but two red lanterns were hung at the second door, which was particularly festive against the background of the white snow.
Xu Changhua stood at the second gate to greet him. Jiang Anyi did not notice the melancholy in his eyes and stepped forward and bowed to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Brother Xu on his 33rd birthday, half a piece of scholarly favors, Jiang's congratulations, wishing Brother Xu endlessly."
"An Yi's congratulations are hard to change, please." Xu Changhua turned sideways and said with a smile: "You little monkey, you finally remember to see your uncle. Fortunately, I gave you so many fun things."
Xuchanghua had no children and loved Shitou very much. Jiang Anyi sometimes brought Shitou out to play, and Xuchanghua often made Shitou laugh. Xuchanghua even made Shitou a small bow carefully and taught him to shoot arrows.
"Uncle Xu, you can't blame me for this. The young master forced me to trample red every day and even read. I'm busy." Shi Tou sighed with a bitter face and an adult tone, which made everyone laugh.
"Last night, the wintersweet bloomed, and the fragrance was pleasant. I put the banquet in the garden pavilion, and you and my brothers drank and enjoyed the plum blossoms."
Sure enough, before getting close to the garden, a strong fragrance came to my nose. Walking through the moon gate, a plum tree in the corner of the wall bloomed proudly with snow. The flowers were light yellow and green, and the petals were moist and transparent, as if they were carved into jade. The cold wind was howling and the fine snow was fluttering, showing the spirit of the flowers more and more.
Jiang Anyi praised: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. What a tree of plum blossoms that are shining with frost and snow, it should be white."
"Brother Yu loves plum blossoms the most, so the flowers are not afraid of the cold and are proud of their heroic winds. But now, it's better not to talk about them." Xu Changhua smiled bitterly, and his mood was gone.
"Brother Xu is so heroic and heroic that he is just right for plum blossoms." Jiang Anyi thought Xu Changhua was humble, so he didn't notice the bitterness in his tone, so he walked towards the pavilion. The pavilion used a curtain to block the cold wind. There were charcoal pots in the corner and agarwood was lit, and a gentle and timeless fragrance was emitted from the pavilion.
Shi Tou put the scroll in his hand on the table and said, "Uncle Xu, this scroll was chosen by me personally. I can get a birthday gift."
Xu Changhua slapped the stone lovingly and cursed: "The benefits of you, a monkey, are indispensable. I have someone make the slingshot you want, and I will take it later."
The scroll is opened, and it is a congratulatory speech written by Jiang Anyi: The elephant clothes are green in their hair. It is a happy birthday to Jiaping. Why not have a banquet for the snow to clear the snow? The wine is urged to make the golden chisel fall, and the dance is urging three stacks of jade to grace the graceful jade. The whole house is full of laughter to wish Chunqing.
Xu Changhua was a little absent-minded and praised a few words lightly, asking the stone to put away the scroll, and asked someone to lead him to the front to use a slingshot to shoot birds. Here, the wine and food began to serve, and Jiang Anyi finally found that Xu Changhua was a little inappropriate, and he talked very little, and he drank continuously. With just a stick of incense, he got a pot of wine.
Just as I was about to ask, Tong'er walked from the front yard with a yellow shirt. In the ice and snow, it was like a plum blossom fairy falling from the branches, with a vivid and fragrant look.
Looking at Tong'er who was as beautiful as a fairy, Jiang Anyi couldn't help but blurt out: "Snow lost three points, and Meisun had two points. The ancients said that they were as beautiful as peaches and plums, and people were as beautiful as flowers, so they wouldn't deceive me."
Tong'er felt dizzy on her cheeks and spat, "Source Scholar, so sour."
"Young Master Jiang is not a sour scholar, but a sour scholar." Xu Changhua smiled and said, "Tong'er, aren't you praised your poems in secret? How come you say that you are sour today? By the way, have you read the birthday poems that Young Master Jiang wrote for me?"
"Brother-in-law" was exposed by Xu Changhua. Tong'er blushed and shook Xu Changhua's arm without relying on her.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it." Xu Changhua smiled and changed the topic, saying, "Today is my brother-in-law's birthday, so I don't respect me."
After the wine was over, Tong'er glanced at Jiang Anyi shyly, and wanted to speak, but she stopped. The girlish expression was the most moving, Jiang Anyi was drunk in the aftermath of the autumn waves.
Tong'er's face was filled with flying clouds, poured a glass of wine, handed it to Jiang Anyi, and said softly: "Sister asked me to toast you with a glass of wine for her. Thank you for your birthday greeting for your brother-in-law."
The wine in the glass was filled with Lianyi, and Tong'er's hands were trembling gently. This girl, who had always been brave, was so nervous that she was about to jump out of her chest.
Jiang Anyi did not dare to make fun of him, so he took the cup and drank it all, saying, "Thank you, Miss Tong'er, thank you to Sister Ling for me."
Tong'er blushed and flew away. Seeing Tong'er disappearing behind the moon gate, Xu Changhua asked with a smile: "An Yi, I intend to be a matchmaker and betroth Tong'er to you. I wonder what you mean?"
If Xinfei hadn't been Xinfei, maybe Jiang Anyi would agree. How could he empathize with his heart if he had something to do.
Jiang Anyi raised his glass and said, "I'm not hiding it from Brother Xu, Anyi actually has a engagement, thank you for your kindness."
Xu Changhua was stunned. He just saw the situation and thought that this matter would be mostly accomplished. A storm could disappear invisibly, but Jiang Anyi refused. Xu Changhua said: "Are you talking about Dong'er? That's just a concubine, it's okay."
"It's not Dong'er, it's a girl I met in the capital. Brother Xu doesn't know him."
