Mrs. Rebirth

The further north, the colder the weather, Zuo Shaoqing went out less often, all day wrapped in a quilt, holding a book and leaning on the bed to read, with a charcoal basin burning in the room, even so, he didn't think it was enough, at least he had to stuff it in the bed. With two Tang Pozi.

When Lu Zheng came back from practicing, he passed by his room and opened the door directly to come in. Suddenly, a gust of hot air rushed towards his face, and he hesitated for a while due to the heat.

"How afraid of the cold are you?" He stepped forward and opened the closed window, reprimanded: "Is there no common sense to open the window to ventilate the charcoal basin?"

The cold wind came in from the window, Zuo Shaoqing tightened the quilt around her body, only her head was exposed, and she argued, "It just opened an hour ago."

The wind on the river is extremely strong. If you stand on the deck, it will blow into icicles in less than an hour. You can already see the phenomenon of freezing on the river. People from the Cao Gang said that in two days, they We had to abandon the ship and go overland.

Lu Zheng sat down beside his bed, held his hand to check the temperature, and pressed his face against his forehead, "Could it be that you will have to sleep in bed when winter comes?"

Zuo Shaoqing replied shyly: "Isn't this doing nothing? Why do you have to go out to blow the cold air when you have a warm bed? It won't be like this when you go out when you have something to do in the future."

Lu Zheng hugged him into his arms, including the quilt, thinking in his heart that when he returned to Beijing, he would have the hot spring village in the suburbs sorted out first, so that in winter, he could live in the village with Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing stretched out an arm, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Lu Zheng's forehead. He also wanted to be like Lu Zheng, who would not feel cold even in single clothes in winter.

Lu Zheng once laughed at him, saying: "If you can use the time you spend reading books to meditate and practice, you will not be able to survive the cold and heat in a few years."

Zuo Shaoqing immediately raised his hand and said: "Wansheng is first and foremost a scholar, and secondly a warrior who knows a little bit of kung fu."

Lu Zheng sneered, "You are such a warrior, you are not even as good as the scholar on the opposite boat."

Zuo Shaoqing thought gloomily, no, why are they all scholars, and some people on the opposite boat are so strong?Last night, I heard someone on the opposite deck chanting "Luo Shen Fu", and I was not afraid of freezing to death.

In fact, in addition to teaching poetry, poetry, literature and history, most of the books also have riding and archery courses. After all, Qinglu Academy is only a small academy in Youxi Town, and there are very few people who can ride and shoot, let alone lectures.

In the final analysis, Zuo Shaoqing's foundation is weak, and he is not used to the cold life in the north, which shows the huge difference from others.

The two hugged quietly for a while, and Zuo Shaoqing asked Lu Zheng some questions from the book. Lu Zheng is a military commander, and he is a little lacking in poetry and poetry, but the specific facts are straightforward.

Zuo Shaoqing listened to him refute the disaster relief cases in the annals sentence by sentence, and couldn't help asking: "Master Lu always likes to take a slanted edge. If Wan Sheng writes this kind of point of view, I'm afraid even Gong Sheng can't point it out." gone."

"What's the matter? Although sharp-edged articles may not be pleasing, they will often not be beaten to death with a stick. They can only be used in His Majesty's court case, so I'm not afraid that he will look down on them."

Lu Zheng pointed him a few more words: "Drought in the north and flood in the south have always been the people's livelihood issues that the imperial court is most concerned about. Food is the foundation of survival, and the people are the foundation of the country. Therefore, disaster prevention and relief have always been hot spots in the exam. You can’t miss out on Shin’s various problems.”

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him in surprise. He was reborn with his memory, so he knew the exam questions. He didn't expect Lu Zheng, a general, to have such a sharp mind.

In this exam, the topic asked by Ruo Ce remains the same, which is "people's livelihood". .

Just listen to Lu Zheng continue to say, "Every person in position has his own preference for writing questions. The first emperor was warlike and always liked to write questions around wars. Zhan Yuanfeng focused on practical affairs. This time he started every subject after boarding the plane. Choosing a scholar must be to win over a group of young talents who can think about the people.

Zuo Shaoqing opened his mouth slightly, and cast his eyes on Lu Zheng's admiration. After entering Beijing, well-connected candidates would always try to find out the examiner's writing preference, so as to cater to the examiner's taste, so that the chances of qualifying would be greater.

As for the emperor's mind, most people probably cannot guess it.

"Master Lu seems to understand the emperor's thoughts very well?" Zuo Shaoqing asked jokingly.

Lu Zheng glanced at him lightly, "If you grew up with him, you would understand him too."

Uh... Zuo Shaoqing smiled coyly, noncommittal, and thought to himself: If every official is as smart as Lu Zheng, I'm afraid there won't be the oppressive feeling of being with a king like a tiger.

Luo Xiaoliu poked his head out of the door secretly, saw someone was there, immediately shrank back, and then waited outside the door without any surprise.

Over the past few days, no matter how dull he and Mama Liu were, he still found that the relationship between the two was unusual. At first, he thought it was because Mrs. Lu was interested in him, and forced their third masters. happy to.

Hey, what is this called? "

Although he had also heard the story of the short-sleeved peach distribution, he never thought it would happen to his master. This is something that will be poked in the spine. How could the third master accept it so calmly?

Mama Liu was more anxious than him, and was always on guard against Mr. Lu, so she ordered Luo Xiaoliu to come over and take a look after the two of them stayed for a while, so as not to cause any bad rumors on the boat.

Fortunately, both Lu Zheng and Zuo Shaoqing have a sense of proportion. The former couldn't bear to touch Zuo Shaoqing's petite body, while the latter was too cold to move, so he kept guarding the last line of defense, kissing and touching every time. So far.

The people on the same boat were clever enough to see something wrong, but with Lu Zheng on their heads, they didn't dare to say a word.

Two days later, when the fleet docked in Cangzhou City and stepped on the hard ground, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the waterway is safe and easy, but after being on the boat for a long time, what I see every day is either mountains or water, and my whole body is almost moldy.

As the main city closest to Kyoto, Cangzhou is known as the small imperial capital, which shows its prosperity.

Zuo Shaoqing put up a tent with both hands, watching the crowds and voices on the pier. Passenger ships and cargo ships are all coming in and out with full loads, and there are horse-drawn carts and ox carts on the shore. They are obviously doing individual business. There are all kinds of goods, food and clothing, and many stall owners are shouting loudly.

Zuo Shaoqing noticed that many of the guests who landed rushed to the food stalls immediately, as if they had been hungry for three days, devouring their food.

It's understandable if you think about it, if he wasn't born in Zuo's family, and Lu Zheng wasn't accompanying him on this trip, his three meals a day would be fresh seafood or pickled vegetables.

No matter how delicious the food is, you can’t stand it every day, so when you get off the boat, you naturally want to change the taste to satisfy your appetite.

Yang Yi spent some money to buy all the tofu flowers in a stall, and invited everyone to come and eat, "This is a famous local snack, commonly known as Saihounao, it's tender and smooth, it's like holding a woman's in your mouth... "

Hearing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, Lu Zheng glanced at him and managed to make that mouth only focus on food.

Zuo Shaoqing took a bite and felt that it was really good, smooth and delicious, and the sauce was also very delicious. He ate two bowls in one go before giving up.

Lu Zheng decided to rest in Cangzhou for two days before going on the road, so he took Zuo Shaoqing to the sub-helm of the Cao Gang here. As for Jiang Hengzhou and others, he neither said goodbye nor invited, and completely regarded them as strangers he met on the road.

Zuo Shaoqing once again declined Qu Changqing's request to accompany him on the road, saying that his second uncle was also in the Cao Gang and he didn't want to part with his relatives.

Only then did Qu Changqing know that Zuo Shaoqing was following Zuo Yunyang, but he was not familiar with Master Zuo Er, and he hadn't met each other along the way, so he didn't even say hello.

After the two parties parted, Zuo Shaoqing heaved a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to be on guard against Jiang Hengzhou all the time, then looked at Zuo Yunyang, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and said with a gentle smile, "Second uncle...you should take care of yourself." Body!"

"Haha... It's okay, it's okay, I finally cleared up the accounts of the Cao Gang, and I can finally have Mr. Lu on my errands." Although Zuo Yunyang was tired, his energy was surprisingly good.

Zuo Shaoqing heard from him that the Cao Gang has its own accountant, who used to be a scholar. The accounts of the Cao Gang can be described as chaotic.

When Zuo Yunyang showed Lu Zheng the reconciliation book he had completed day and night, Lu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and handed over the financial power of the entire gang to him.

After Zuo Yunyang was overjoyed, he hesitated. He is a businessman, not an accountant, so he doesn't want to spend all day in the ledger.

He explained the situation carefully, for fear that his ignorance of current affairs would make Mr. Lu angry.

Lu Zheng didn't embarrass him after listening to it, but asked him to find a few reliable accountants to train for a period of time, and he will still be in charge of the account in the future, but he will not be required to do the account.

Zuo Yunyang was overjoyed, this is equivalent to letting him be a big manager who only talks but doesn't do anything, and he still holds the power, how can there be any reason why he shouldn't?

When he got out of Lu Zheng's study, he still slandered: I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so reasonable and open-minded. This time, he really chose the right backer.

How did he know that a large part of the reason why Lu Zheng was so easy to talk to him was because of Zuo Shaoqing, after all, he was Zuo Shaoqing's second uncle, and since he was capable and trustworthy, he was willing to let go of power.

It's a pity that Zuo Yunyang worked so hard during this time, completely unaware that his nephew was already hugging Lord Lu's lap. If he knew, he might be able to gain some cheeky benefits.
