King's Landing [Rebirth]

The yard prepared in advance by the post house is quiet and simple, separated from the office area in the front hall by a wall, so as not to disturb the people resting behind when the post house is busy.Not long after the guard led Liang Jian and the others in, a postman noticed and came forward to inquire, and learned that it was the newly appointed Mayor of Hongye City. The postman sent the guards away and personally sent Liang Jian and the others there.

Sun Sheng didn't live in the post house before, so the people in the post house didn't have much friendship with him. This time, he was a little surprised to see Liang Jian and others coming here.The postman's surname is Sang, everyone here calls him Sangbo, and he has worked here for a long time.He took Liang Jian and the others to their place of residence and asked them to mention anything they needed.

The residences provided by the post house are all independent yards with a small kitchen, clean and simple, with a layer of finely crushed snow on the ground, which creaks when stepped on.Liang Jian looked around very satisfied, and asked his subordinates to reward Sang Bo so that he would not bother him.

There were plenty of rooms in the yard, so Liang Jian asked them to put away their luggage and go to rest separately without following them closely.

The post house lit a fire in the house in advance to keep out the cold, and the house was very warm.Liang Jian called Wen Yao and asked him to inform Wu Xin to settle down in the city, leaving only one or two people to follow.It's just the beginning and it's calm, so there's no need to tense your nerves.

The news of Liang Jian's stay in the post house was not concealed, and soon reached the emperor's ears, and he made a detailed report on how many people he brought with him.As a new city lord who has not formally met the emperor, he will be summoned to the palace in advance. What he has to do now is to wait for news from the palace to see when the emperor plans to summon him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Jian asked people to light the lanterns in the yard.Sang Bo came over and asked if they would like to have dinner together. Liang Jian thought for a while and asked the first guard to reply, and said that there were too many of them, so they didn't bother the posthouse, and he could cook a little in the small kitchen.After hearing about it, Sangbo sent someone to bring some ingredients, and was going to leave a cook for them. Liang Jian left the things and people, and thanked Sangbo for his kindness.

The dinner was left to the cook, and Jiang Shengxue was free to help. The cook didn't know her identity, but seeing that she was dressed luxuriously, she didn't look like a maid, so she thought he was Liang Jian's concubine, so she didn't dare to bother her.

"It's okay, I will occasionally cook for my two brothers at home." Jiang Shengxue and the others are not so particular, after all, they are not the young ladies who do not touch the spring water with their fingers.

The cook listened to the elder brother she called, and asked curiously: "Young lady is not the wife of Lord Liang?"

"Ah?" Jiang Shengxue was taken aback, covered her lips and smiled, "No, the city lord and the other young master are my elder brothers."

"Then the city lord Liang only brought three guards? My wife, I have been a cook here for many years. I heard that the city lords bring many guards with them every time they come. You just brought three people. Isn't it too... "The cook couldn't find a suitable word to describe it for a moment, she thought for a while and said, "It's too embarrassing."

Jiang Shengxue didn't take it seriously, they didn't come here to show off, what did they want for that pomp?The emperor's feet are public, and he is not afraid that he will die too soon.

"Big brother just took office this year. What are you doing to bring so many people here? He only planned to bring one. It was Mr. Song who tried hard to persuade him to bring two more."

"Red Leaf City is quite far from here. It's safer on the crowded roads. City Lord Liang is really big-hearted." The cook shook her head in disapproval. She had seen too much ostentation here, and felt that Liang Jian was really not like those people. He is a city lord, he has no airs at all, he is handsome and easy-going, and his younger brothers and sisters are also one of the best-looking in a hundred.

If you meet someone who doesn't have eyesight on the road, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if you don't bring people with you.The cook looked at them and thought they were scholars who couldn't lift their hands or shoulders, so she became worried without knowing the truth.

Jiang Shengxue saw everyone very well on the road, and was amused by the aunt's worries.Not to mention the people who followed behind the scenes, even the three on the surface were not easy to provoke, not to mention the two elder brothers.The cook was worrying unnecessarily, Jiang Shengxue smiled and did not refute, it is better not to explain some misunderstandings.

The cook deftly put Jiang Shengxue's folded dishes into the pot, and after a while, the tempting dishes came out of the pot and put them on plates, overflowing with fragrance.

By coincidence, I went outside to inform the unintentional Wen Yao to come back. Jiang Shengxue called him at the kitchen door and asked him to come in and serve the dishes.Snow fell on Wen Yao's shoulder, and after it melted, there was a wet piece on his shoulder. Jiang Shengxue saw it when he approached, and raised his hand to help him pat the snow off his body.Wen Yao was startled, backed away again and again, his ears turned red instantly.

He was older than Jiang Shengxue, and Jiang Shengxue never treated him as a bodyguard, and always treated him kindly and informally.Even on the way to Wangcheng this time, they don't mind riding in the same carriage.Jiang Shengxue was so kind, like a soft and bright moon at night, he couldn't bear to look away and didn't dare to offend.

Jiang Shengxue knew that Wen Yao was introverted, but he didn't mind his avoidance, and said with concern: "You don't need to help, you go back to your room and change your clothes. Wearing wet clothes in winter is easy to get sick, so don't be careless."

Wen Yao shook his head, glanced at the things in the kitchen: "I'll take you there first, and then go back to the room to change clothes."

As he said that, he went in and put all the dishes on the tray, but Jiang Shengxue couldn't resist him, so he went to clear the table first, and after Wen Yao came over, he urged him to change his clothes.

There were only six of them in a party, and they all ate at the same table. Jiang Shengxue greeted the cook, but the cook panicked and said that she dared not sit at the same table with them.The post house has its own rules, the cook is not theirs after all, Jiang Shengxue didn't force it.

Wen Yao went to change clothes and arrived late, and when he came back, only Jiang Shengxue was left with a stool beside him. He hesitated a bit, but finally bit the bullet and stepped forward to sit down.The cook is very skilled, and the dishes are prepared according to Jiang Shengxue's instructions, and the taste is similar to that at home.

The food culture in Gandong is very different from that in Western Yunnan. Jiang Shengxue is not very used to it, and has not eaten much during these days.Today I finally tasted the taste of my hometown again, my appetite was whetted, and I added an extra bowl of rice.Wen Yao sat next to her and saw that she was eating too fast for fear that she would choke, so he filled a bowl of soup for her.Jiang Shengxue also took it smoothly, and neither of them felt that there was anything wrong.

Liang Jian on the side took a second look, thoughtful.

It was getting late after dinner, and everyone was going to rest early to recharge their energy. After all, they were somewhat tired after walking such a long distance.But before they closed the door to sleep, news came from the palace that the emperor summoned Liang Jian and asked him to enter the palace immediately to face the Holy Spirit. The eunuch delivering the decree and the sedan chair to pick him up were waiting outside.

The emperor did not announce sooner or later, but at this time, the door of Li Palace was locked within less than an hour.Sangbo was worried that Liang Jian would not have time to urge him to hurry up, so don't miss the time, Liang Jian was not in a hurry, went back to the room and changed clothes to let Mei Zhenghan rest first, and then followed the eunuch into the palace calmly.

The emperor announced him this point, it seems that he only intends to meet and go through the motions, and doesn't want to ask more about other things.

In the deep palace and high walls, even if the lights are brightly lit, there is no sense of freshness.As many people desperately want to squeeze in this largest 'house' in Qiutong, there are as many people desperately trying to get out.The Ninety-Five Supremes sitting here control the fate of the people in the world, but they can't escape the end of decline.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate, and the leading eunuch bowed to invite Liang Jian to follow.Probably because Liang Jian was too young, the eunuch who delivered the decree was still a little confused.Because of a plague, the city lord of Red Leaf City was airborne. They thought he was a middle-aged man with a lot of means, but they didn't want to be an unparalleled handsome son.Good-looking and gentle, not only is it not scheming, but also makes people feel harmless to humans and animals.

Liang Jian still remembered the way to the Imperial Study Room. He walked all the way down from the palace gate. Even though the eunuchs were carrying lanterns and there were lanterns hanging around them, the environment was no different from the daytime, and it was still dark in his eyes.Even with his eyes closed, he would never forget how many blue bricks, how many steps, how many corners there were.He died in this place in his previous life, at the hands of someone he trusted.

Now the person sitting in the imperial study room is not Xu Liangchuan and will never be Xu Liangchuan, the gloominess in Liang Jian's heart finally faded a little.

Stepping up the steps of the imperial study, the eunuch went in and told Liang Jian to wait at the door for a while.Liang Jian stood still at the door, turned around and looked at the palace wall covered in snow.When he entered the royal city, he couldn't calm down, and when he got here, his emotions reached the extreme.Past life, present life, death, rebirth, and fate returning here are two completely different directions.

One day he will stand on a higher point and look down on the world.

The eunuch who delivered the decree came out soon to announce Liang Jian's audience, and Liang Jian stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes before entering the door to meet people.

Today, Li Yu, the king of subjugation in the previous life, the last direct descendant of the Li family, the royalists in the previous life insisted on protecting him, and there were many conflicts among the three armies because of his existence during the alliance.At that time, he ran around with the army, hiding in hiding, his life was very bad, his face was sallow, emaciated and listless, he was only 40 years old, but he looked as old as [-] years old.

Liang Jian was already vague about his appearance, so when he saw the young man sitting in the imperial study, Liang Jian lost his mind for a moment.

The current Li Yu is still very young, only twenty seven years old, with a dignified appearance and a good appearance, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade.His brows are somewhat similar to Mei Zhenghan's, with the same almond eyes, big, energetic, and radiant.But because Mei Zhenghan has a pair of blue eyes, it doesn't look like a clear sky after rain.Li Yu has good eyes, but because of his expression, people can't like him.

Liang Jian quickly came back to his senses, saluted and said, "My minister, Hongye City's new city lord, Liang Jian, sees the emperor..."

"It's just the two of us here, City Lord Liang. You don't need to be too polite. I thought you were a boring old man after reading the notes you wrote. I didn't expect you to be so young." Li Yu sat on the dragon chair and played with| Yu pulled his finger, interrupted Liang Jian's salute, and looked him over from beginning to end, feeling a little different in his heart.

Nowadays, there are some veterans in the court, even if there are one or two young and good-looking ones, they are all with families.Even if Li Yu wanted to do something, he didn't dare to be so absurd as to provoke public outrage.After finally looking forward to a city lord who has no family and is astonished as a heavenly man, he is not to mention how happy he is, and even puts his business aside.

Li Yu is quite different from his previous life, but this frivolous tone is still annoying.Liang Jian suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said with a smile: "At that time, I just took over Hongye City, and there are still many things I don't understand. The excerpt was written after discussing with the civil servants in the city. If the emperor doesn't like it, I will change it to a more concise description next time. .”

When Liang Jian smiled, her peach blossom eyes were like crescent moons, with her own charm, which made people unable to look away. Li Yu said meaningfully: "The Lord Liang has a heart."
