Chapter 57: dismount

Li Mingjin took Luo Shuyu into the city mightily.

The one who came to greet them was Zhu Chengye, the prefect of Gucheng.

Zhu Taishou saluted the two: "I have seen the third highness, I have seen the third prince and concubine."

Li Mingjin was friendly: "Don't be too polite."

Zhu Taishou had dark skin and showed eight white teeth when he smiled: "Then the lower official will take His Highness to the newly vacated residence."

Li Mingjin and his party have been busy all the way, so they have to clean up first: "Okay, let's settle down first, and we can discuss other things tomorrow."

Zhu Taishou: "Xiaguan will arrange a dust-cleaning banquet for His Highness tomorrow night. Do you think it is feasible?"

Li Mingjin nodded and said succinctly, "Yes."

Zhu Taishou laughed again, showing his white teeth: "Then, please come here, Your Highness."

Zhu Taishou first led them to the arranged mansion.

Except for Luo Shuyu who was sitting in the carriage, everyone else rode forward.

In the winter, there were only a few people along the street. They looked numb and lacked vigor at all, perhaps because of the cold weather.

Luo Shuyu sighed, it was really cold outside, and it was estimated that people who were still walking outside the house were forced to do so.

New city, new residence, everything is brand new.

Here, there are no princes who are staring at them, and no one will stare at them every day, and there are no malicious eyes for the time being.

However, they cannot let their guard down.

Taking the luggage to the new residence, Li Mingjin was talking to Zhu Taishou in front. The polite Zhu Taishou made people feel uncomfortable.

Before he came, Li Mingjin asked Emperor Tiansheng for a list of local officials and generals. To say that the longest-serving one had to be the Prefect Zhu, who worked for ten years and never left.

Being so polite to Li Mingjin now makes Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu suspicious. What they inquired about Zhu Taishou's personality seems to be different. According to the memories of his colleagues in the capital, Zhu Taishou has always been stern and hateful.

Ten years can change a person.

It seems that what they have inquired about is really different from what they have actually seen. It must be understood after in-depth contact, otherwise it is really difficult to judge a person's personality.

The book is all from the perspective of Shen Mingyun, and most of the content is related to General Zhenbei. Other characters have very little pen and ink. People like Zhu Taishou have basically never appeared in the text. Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin can only know about him through inquiries. People and behavior styles.

When I saw him today, I found that this person does not match the rumors, and I have never heard anyone mention his dark skin, and he is relatively smooth in dealing with things. supply.

Luo Shuyu didn't think much about it for the time being, but just wrote down the doubts in his heart. There will be a dust-cleaning banquet for Li Mingjin and him tomorrow. He will also attend and study it carefully.

The residence Zhu Taishou arranged for them was a three-entry house. Although it was not as chic and spacious as the capital city, it should be one of the best large houses in Gucheng, enough for Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu to live here for a year or two.

He thought that the third prince and the third prince concubine had an opinion on this, but he didn't expect that they were not dissatisfied at all, so they just moved in.

Zhu Taishou left after completing his guiding task.

Qingwang ordered his servants to start cleaning the main courtyard. First, they cleaned up the room that Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were going to use tonight. They really saw the kang that was rumored to be used by people in the north. It could be used as a bed. streamline.

After the cleaning was almost done, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin began to sleep beautifully on the kang that could be called a bed.

I was so tired, I really just slept, and the tension for more than a month was relieved, and both of them slept darkly.

the next day.

Luo Shuyu got up first and began to adapt to the life in the north. Breakfast could no longer be as delicate and rich as in the capital, and he was used to a rougher life on the way here. Might be better.

In the north, people eat more cold food to keep warm, so Li Mingjin still needs to be full for breakfast.

They brought two cooks from the capital, and they got up early in the morning to steam the soft and fragrant buns from the capital.

Just now he entered the kitchen to take a look at the progress, when Luo Shuyu saw Qingwang rushing to him again.

Qingwang: "Master."

Luo Shuyu took a sip of hot tea: "What's wrong?"

Qingwang: "Mr. Chen is not accustomed to the soil and water. Yesterday he pulled and vomited."

Luo Shuyu: "Then go and invite Dr. Fang to check the pulse." Dr. Fang is the doctor who treated Li Mingjin's leg injury before. This doctor can be regarded as a decathlon, but the most important thing is bruises, other aspects are possible Still lacking.

Qingwang: "I went, but the medicine I took doesn't seem to work. The person serving said that Mr. Chen has been having a high fever and cannot wake up."

Luo Shuyu: "Let's see if we can hire a doctor in the city who is not accustomed to the environment and conditions, and send someone to inquire about it. If there is, please come over immediately."

This time, Chen Rong also came with them. His body has been tossing for more than a month and he has not collapsed directly. It is already a blessing.

He is the one the soldiers imagined to get sick every three times.

Along the way, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu took good care of him. All the good things were close to him, and they never let him go to the ground. They took care of him carefully, but they still fell ill.

Li Mingjin got up later than Luo Shuyu, and when he heard that the doctor was invited, he asked them what was going on: "Who is sick?" He put his hand on Luo Shuyu's forehead.

Luo Shuyu said, "It's not me, it's Mr. Chen. I heard from someone that I threw up and vomited again yesterday. I still have a high fever.

Li Mingjin: "After breakfast, let's go see him together."

The servant's luck was good, and he soon found a doctor with a gray beard in the city and brought him directly into the mansion.

After the diagnosis and treatment, the servants gave the medicine to boil, and after drinking it, the fever began to gradually subside.

Doctor Fang did what he couldn't do after staying up all night last night. The doctors in the city did it right away.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu invited the doctor to the main hall and asked Fang Zhi if the doctor had any real skills in dealing with water and soil dissatisfaction, as long as the right medicine was prescribed.

Before the doctor left, Luo Shuyu asked casually, "I heard that there is a doctor here who can detoxify hundreds of poisons, but is there such a rumor?"

The doctor's expression was a little subtle: "Resolving hundreds of poisons? The third prince and concubine may have heard something wrong, and the little one has never heard of it."

Luo Shuyu saw his unnaturalness, and didn't ask more: "I also heard from the road, it turned out to be fake, I thought it was like a doctor in the book, with that kind of Jianghu atmosphere."

The doctor cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to talk nonsense, I really haven't heard of it."

Luo Shuyu: "Oh, then forget it."

After sending the doctor away, Li Mingjin said, "He's lying. He just mentioned Jiegoogle's face a bit wrong."

Luo Shuyu agreed with his statement: "Then do you have to send someone to watch him?"

Li Mingjin: "Naturally, Ganganjiu has followed."

Luo Shuyu was also a little surprised. He hadn't heard the news of detoxification before, but when he came to Gucheng, he got some clues. I don't know if it was a coincidence or luck.

Not long after the doctor left, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin went to see Chen Rong, the latter's body temperature slowly dropped and he became more awake.

Just looking pale, more than in the capital.

Luo Shuyu thought that this person had to be carefully nurtured. It was really hard to climb mountains and water with them. I don't know how this person could drag this body to travel around the world. It was really puzzling.

"Thank you for your concern, I can still hold on."

Li Mingjin asked him, "Mr. Chen, what is your illness?"

Chen Rong coughed again, and the cough became worse and worse. The person who served him thoughtfully patted him on the back. Seeing this, Luo Shuyu said to Li Mingjin, "It's better to let the gentleman rest for two days, and after a while, we will invite him to eat. Local specialties.”

Li Mingjin nodded and said to Chen Rong, "Then you should have a good rest."

Luo Shuyu told the servants outside to take good care of this side, and if you need anything, you must tell them as soon as possible.

Butler Sun at the Third Prince's Mansion did not go north with him this time. After all, he had to take care of the original Third Prince's Mansion, so he could only stay.

Butler Sun's loyalty has been verified in his previous life. The whole family is loyal to the Third Prince's Mansion. Luo Shuyu is still at ease with him, and there is nothing wrong with keeping him in the capital.

After a day off, the servants have put all the boxes and cages in place. The old house should also be cleaned up, and the curtains should be replaced with new curtains. Except for the layout of the house, the main courtyard where Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin live is arranged in the same way as the capital. There are seven similarities.

Other places are also being sorted out slowly. In the winter, the snow can only be swept away in the yard, and no green plants can be planted. Luo Shuyu sent someone to clean up the rotten leaves and branches that were left behind.

In the winter in the capital, you can see not only snow, but also a lot of green, but not necessarily in the north. Not even a green leaf can be found on the branches. Although it will grow in spring, it is quite desolate now. Looking at it, I can see the slightest bit of green.

But this is his choice. If he survives, he will see hope. If he is greedy for pleasure, his end will be bleak.

Luo Shuyu repeatedly told himself that this is his and Li Mingjin's new life, learn to enjoy it, learn to cherish it, and have it.

The life in the north will be his unforgettable memory in the future.

There is a sentence in the book that is quite right, only one who suffers in hardship can become a superior person.

The day passed quickly.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu are also going to attend the dust-cleaning banquet prepared by Zhu Taishou.

Not far away, it was in Zhu Taishou's mansion.

They go neither too soon nor too late. In Gucheng, their identities are already the highest.

When the two arrived at Zhu Taishou's mansion, Zhu Taishou came to greet them, led them into the main hall, and was led to the first seat.

The people present today are all local officials and generals, as well as the generals brought by Li Mingjin.

It was very lively, but they were temporarily unknown about the private infighting.

Zhu Taishou warmly introduced everyone to them.

He first brought General Wei's two sons to the forefront, one was about forty years old and the other was about thirty years old.

"These two are the sons of General Wei, General Wei Linyuan and General Wei Linmu."

The two saluted Li Mingjin thoughtfully: "I have seen the third highness, I have seen the third prince and concubine."

Li Mingjin got up and helped them up: "Don't be too polite, everyone can eat and drink tonight, I'll come over and make a face."

The two Wei family sons responded in unison: "Yes."

Luo Shuyu also sat on the side very decently. He secretly wrote down whoever Zhu Taishou introduced to him. If Chen Rong didn't follow him today, he would help Li Mingjin to remember it.

The Wei Jiazi in the book are all arrogant, domineering, ignorant of etiquette, and pretentious, but when I see them today, they are full of arrogance, but this arrogance is the temperament that they have torn down on the battlefield for many years, a contribution that cannot be ignored, Luo Shuyu I don't think they look down on people or anything.

This book has written people crooked from Shen Mingyun's point of view?

In Shen Mingyun's eyes, why is it that in his opinion, the people who have advanced and retreated are all unscrupulous people. Does this Shen Mingyun have an eye disease?

However, this is Luo Shuyu's initial judgment. Later, Li Mingjin will have to get in touch to know who they are. It is also possible that because he had contacted Concubine Wei Xian in advance, he had preconceived ideas and swayed his judgment.

Let's see later.

Zhu Taishou was originally trying to smooth things out. Who knew that the third prince was not as arrogant as the rumors said, but now he gives the illusion of a corporal Li Xian, and he is not dissatisfied with the way he was introduced? Big-hearted or deep-hearted?

Before he figured it out, Zhu Taishou continued to maintain a neutral attitude towards Li Mingjin, neither too flattering nor too indifferent.

The protagonist of the dust washing banquet is naturally Li Mingjin and the generals he brought, but this time, their arrival will naturally conflict with the existing generals.

First the place to live, then the place to practice, the difference between north and south, etc.

At the beginning of the banquet, there was no feeling, until a general from the north "spoke the truth" after drinking.

"You brats from the south, you can't even drink a big gulp of alcohol. It's so **** unhappy. If you don't go back to your south, don't bother us to follow General Wei to death!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet!

The general continued to "speak the truth, and the more he said it, the more outrageous he was: "It must be those inactive officials in the court that drove our General Wei back, what a great general Wei! It's not like you all are like white chickens. When you go to the battlefield, you don't know how your brains are cut off by the enemy! "

Lin Haiming couldn't listen to it anymore, so he flipped the small table in front of him: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

All of them were out of temper. Lin Haiming directly grabbed the collar of the scolding general and started to beat him. The other party was not a soft persimmon, so he directly fought with Lin Haiming. Help, the people from the north don't seem to be able to do it. They can't let the people from the north suffer. When they swarmed up, the scene became more and more chaotic. A good dust-cleaning banquet turned into a fighting arena for military generals. Dare to persuade, this body is afraid that it is not for the generals who have been drinking.

Zhu Taishou grabbed the scene and became more and more chaotic and out of control. He was so anxious that his forehead began to sweat, and he directly let people from outside come in to separate the generals, but where are the servants who are the opponents of the generals who have been fighting abroad all the year round? It's also very difficult to be pushed away.

Zhu Taishou looked at Li Mingjin, who was drinking calmly, and said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, there is no way to be an official."

Li Mingjin turned the empty glass to Luo Shuyu and said, "Come on, fill it up."

Luo Shuyu smiled and said to Prefect Zhu, "Don't worry, Your Highness, don't worry."

Li Mingjin said: "I just feel that drinking alone is boring. Now everyone is teaming up to perform. Isn't it interesting? Zhu Taishou will just watch it. Don't pull them away. I haven't seen enough."

Zhu Taishou regretted his death, and if he knew it, he would send more people to inquire about the temperament and preferences of His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

The tyrannical people will only be more excited when they see the fight scene, where will they feel embarrassed, even the third prince and concubine can laugh at this melee, misguided!

The tables and chairs on the scene were overturned, and the generals fought fiercely. Seeing that Li Mingjin didn't care about anything, Zhu Taishou naturally had to go out on his own and ask the Wei family to come forward to stop the situation.

A farce finally ended.

All the troublemakers were beaten by General Wei, and all knelt in front of Li Mingjin.

Li Mingjin gently threw the wine glass in front of them in front of them.

The porcelain cup shattered.

"There are no rules and no circles. All the generals involved in the fight tonight will lead the ten army sticks, and Zhu Taishou and General Wei will supervise."

The generals knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound. Suddenly, they had the illusion that they were facing the saint, and their backs were chilled.

Now it's not that they dispose of the third prince, but the third prince disposes of them.

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, you are a stunning soldier who was spanked today. As a general, I will give you medicine at night!

Luo Shuyu:  …
