Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

……

“A man of great power will not argue, and a man of great words will not argue.”

Before leaving, Prime Minister Cao sighed.

With such an understanding of the general situation, knowing how to advance and retreat, and caring about the war and people's livelihood, how could Prime Minister Cao not regard him differently?

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liang Huan tightened her tight cloak, looked at the snowflakes that melted on the ground, and pursed her lips slightly, not worth a sip.

But everyone has their own needs.

The war has been stalemate for half a year, from late autumn to midwinter, and from midwinter to early spring.

There is a shortage of supplies on the front lines, and the epidemic outside the city will not go away.

Donations of money and materials were made one after another, but the war was like a bottomless pit, and no amount of filling was enough. As time went by, not to mention the complaints of ordinary people, even the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen were full of complaints and resentments. .

Gu Yu took a look at the clothes and belongings that were to be donated and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's so difficult to stay in the city every day. I wonder how your lords can endure it?"

Liang Huan put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at her with a smile.

Guyu added: "The materials in the city of Jinye are still sufficient, but they are still not as good as before. If you think about Luyang, it is already short of food and clothing. You can imagine the miserable situation."

After Bai Lu finished counting, she also sighed: "In the end, it is to protect Daqi and protect the family, otherwise who would want to be wrapped in horse leather."

Liang Huan remained silent without saying a word.

Not everyone thinks so.

The common people have excuses for their resentment. After all, they have different visions, aspirations, and desires. What's more, who is the emperor in this world, in the end, it doesn't make much difference to them.

But the royal dignitaries and noble families should not be so dissatisfied. Enjoying privileges, but...

Liang Huan stood up and glanced at them: "Let's go, Mrs. Cao is probably already waiting at the door."

Guyu and Bailu looked at each other and made eye contact.

Liang Huan took a few steps, but the two of them still didn't move.

"Ji Liang," Guyu hesitated, then said, "Isn't Mrs. Cao a guest? Why should she be involved in the affairs of the house?"

Liang Huan did not turn around, but smiled lightly and said: "Wouldn't it be better to have one more person to help with the chores?"

Not wanting to say this, Bai Lu also spoke: "Yinu, I see, this is no longer a favor."

Liang Huan turned back to look at them: "Can the Grand Master stop her from acting like this?"

Guyu shook his head.

Bai Lu was stunned and sighed.

Liang Huan smiled: "Let's go."

This is the Grand Master's Mansion, a place where Lu has the final say, and she is just an outsider.

If Lu Xiu hadn't insisted, what would it matter to them if there was one more or one less woman?

A wealthy family has always put interests above all else.

Although the Grand Master has no children, does he still have several concubines?

As expected, by the time Liang Huan arrived in the front yard, Cao Luyun had already ordered people to load the donated items onto the carriage.

He turned around and stood at the door, dignified and noble, with a smile in his eyes: "I'm waiting for you."

It was very much like the day she and Lu Xiu returned home after recovering from illness, acting like a hostess.

Liang Huan stepped forward to meet her gaze: "You have always been kind and charitable."

Cao Luyun is keen on doing good deeds.

Liang Huan was about to go out with her when Gu Yu stepped forward and said, "Liang Ji, why don't you go out these days?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several people were surprised.

Bai Lu was behind her, secretly tugging at the corner of her clothes.

Liang Huan tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Why?"

Guyu stood forward, avoiding Bai Lu's hand without leaving a trace, with a respectful and confident face:

"Rumors have been circulating in the city recently. When you wrote to me, you specifically told me that it might be detrimental to Liang Ji. If you can, you won't go out. You don't need to care about those false reputations."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyebrows.

But the atmosphere turned cold for a moment.

Cao Luyun seemed to have received a slap in the face in public. He was stunned for a long time, his body was stiff and his expression was even stiffer.

Liang Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yu: "I didn't know."

Gu Yu didn't dare to raise her head. Every once in a while, she had to repair a book and send it to the front line to give it to the adults.

She didn't want Liang Ji to know about this, but she really didn't want to see Mrs. Cao being so arrogant and taking over the guests.

She is indeed impulsive, and at most she will be punished by Liang Ji, but the adults will definitely not punish her.

Guyu said simply: "My lord, I miss Liang Ji."

Bai Lu glanced at Cao Luyun and then at Gu Yu, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and felt happy.

Liang Huan lowered his eyes and sighed secretly.

Cao Luyun slowly came back to his senses and showed a gentle smile again: "Da Sima's people are in Luyang, but his heart is in Jinye."

Liang Huan's pupils shrank, and the peripheral vision he swept away was cold.

He raised his eyes again and raised a faint smile: "This is natural. If it is not for the Lord and for Jin Ye, why go into battle to kill the enemy? Isn't it better to stay here and enjoy the blessings?"

After that, he turned to Guyu and said, "Let's go."

Never look at anyone else again.

Cao Lu Yungan stood with a forced smile.

In the car, Liang Huan kept silent and had no intention of dealing with the person opposite who kept staring at him.

Rumors about the evildoer have become popular in Jinye City recently. Lu Xiuyuan actually knew about it in Luyang. The possibility of Gu Yu reporting it cannot be ruled out, but if not, then there must be rumors on the front lines as well.

Mrs. Yurui, who was the concubine of the general, was a monster who brought natural and man-made disasters to Southern Qi... It's hard to imagine how the morale of the army would not be affected in front of the battle or in the military camp? What consequences will it cause?

Liang Huan's eyes slowly turned to the window, and the scenery he saw was far behind him.

Others only saw that he was fighting and resting, but they didn't know how much he was planning behind it.

Thinking about the Queen Mother again, I can’t tell you how I feel. My mother’s family killed my father and punished them by quartering the body with five horses...

She also remembered asking him about her biological mother, and he said she was dead.

Liang Huan felt that her mind was in a mess and her chest felt uncomfortable.

"Ji Liang?"

A soft call suddenly sounded in my ears.

Liang Huan tilted her head and saw Gu Yu blinking a pair of almond-shaped eyes and looking at her doubtfully. Cao Luyun next to her was staring at her thoughtfully.

Guyu whispered: "We're here."

Liang Huan nodded gently, collected his thoughts and got out of the car.

In addition to the fund-raising office set up by the government, there is also the 'Futian Square' organized by the temple itself.

They arrived not too early, but still didn't see many people.

At first, the housekeepers and their wives had nothing to do, so they competed with each other and donated one by one. But gradually, they all became lazy and slack. After all, the donations were done very frequently and the donations were real property. In the end, it became insignificant. Reluctantly, reluctantly.

Cao Luyun was keen on this matter, so she took the lead in registering all the gifts given by the Taishi Mansion. Liang Huan only found a quiet place to wait.

On the donation day, Mrs. Da Sima was very busy, which seemed reasonable.

"Tsk, look at her. Why didn't she stop there when she came back? She was afraid that others wouldn't see her."

The person next to him covered his mouth and smiled: "They are not here to donate, they are clearly here to show off!"

"It has to be shown off. Don't think about it. Who are we who donate money and gifts working hard and busy for? It's not just for others!"

"That's that-"

"Speaking of this, I have to praise Mrs. Cao. I admire her from the bottom of my heart. After all, she is the daughter of the prime minister's house. She has a generous and cultivated heart. She not only tolerates pampering concubines and destroying wives, but also does what she should do, and even gives her Smiley face.”

The person next to him laughed: "That's not true. If you want to leave her here, I have to whip that concubine until her skin is bruised!"

……

Gu Yu glanced at Cao Luyun's retreating back, then glanced at the few people not far away who thought they were whispering, lowered his head and said, "Ji Liang, why don't you go wait in the carriage."

Liang Huan unconsciously raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.
