Eighty-Four: The Youth's First Blossom (1)

( ) Because of some reasons that are not humane, Liu She trusts and indulges her daughter quite a bit, except for her studies, she hardly interferes with other things. However, he still needs to know the details and process of the matter, and he is also afraid that she will suffer.

It's just obvious that Liu She's worry was unnecessary, how could Jiang Pengji suffer easily?

Xu Ke was a busy person. First he arranged for the servants on the farm, and then he had a heart-to-heart talk with Jiang Pengji when he came back. Before he had a bite of hot food, Liu She, the head of the family, brought him back to answer. Because of the shadow of fear before, Xu Ke did not hide the details.

His eloquence was good, and his narration was clear. Liu She sat at the head and listened with lowered eyes, as if enjoying himself very much.

Madam Die smiled across the screen, "Erlang is really promising now, so my cousin can feel more at ease."

The daughter is praised, but as the head of the family, she can't be too jumpy. She can't hide her smile, but she still has to be modest.

However, when Xu Ke mentioned that Jiang Pengji provoked many reserve servants, and threatened to order her to suppress the bandits after training, Madam Die was so shocked that she almost threw the snacks she picked up back on the plate, and Liu She suddenly opened her mouth. There was a little astonishment in his eyes.

Madam Die didn't care about her reserved and elegant posture, and said sternly, "A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, why is Erlang so impulsive?"

Regarding this, Liu She didn't say anything, but there was a hint of daze on her face that no one else could understand.

No one knew what was going on in his mind right now, Madam Die's angry voice didn't reach his ears, and his whole person was floating, as if he was in another dimension. After a long time, he put away his erratic spirit, and his face was a little pale.

"Okay, Lan Ting is no longer a three-year-old child, he knows what he is doing." Liu She said, interrupting Madam Die's order to Xu Ke to dissuade Jiang Pengji, her brows were a bit tired, but also a bit indescribable. , "Maybe this is destiny."

After finishing speaking, he went straight back to the main courtyard. The candlelight in the porch sometimes faded and sometimes flickered, stretching his shadow long.

Sitting in front of a few desks, Liu She spread out a Kun map of Dongqing, on which there was a place clearly marked, which was the Hu County that Liu She once governed. He stared at Hujun for half an hour, clenched his fists slightly until he left several months of tooth prints on his palms.

After a long time, he said to the maid waiting outside the house, "Go and invite Lanting here."

Because of the ancient timeline of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, Jiang Pengji was already ready to go to bed under the service of her maid at this time.

"Let's go, don't keep father waiting."

Suddenly receiving a message from Liu She, she frowned, got up and took the warm and heavy cloak from Ta Xue, and put it on directly.

I don't know if it's Liu She's return, or the revival of all things in spring, and even infused vitality into the desolate Willow Mansion. The landscape in the courtyard is much more lush than when she first came. It's just that the moon and stars are sparse, the light is dim, and those scenes are flickering, which is a bit weird.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, they saluted Liu She according to the etiquette, and the other party waved to her, and said gently, "Lanting, come forward."

So she took a few steps forward, took a seat next to the case, and found that the father was staring at a Kun map of Dongqing with fascination.

Although it is a map of Kun, it is actually quite simple, not to mention rivers and mountains, and even the size is drawn messily.

"Lanting, do you know where is the county where your father took office?"

Liu She pushed the lamp on the table towards Jiang Pengji so that she could see more clearly, "In the past few years after leaving Hejian, as a father, I also thought about whether Lan Ting would have resentment in his heart... But, the body Involuntarily, I had to temporarily leave my homeland, stay away from my flesh and blood reads();."

Jiang Pengji looked up at him suspiciously, not understanding why Liu She suddenly brought up this topic.

"The place where my father took office is here. It's called Hu County, but the land is as big as a state." Jiang Pengji answered the first question and avoided his latter question. Can't give an answer.

Liu She caressed Hu County on Kun Yu map with her pale fingertips, "Yes, Hu County... Before my father took office, it was still a famous barren land in Dongqing. Above, it’s really a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s lair, a place where you go and never return.”

It is good to say that Hu County is barren, since the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, it has been a hard nut to crack.

The fields are vast, but barren and overgrown. There was a continuous drought for ten years without a single drop of rain, which made it difficult for every family to survive. the norm.

Those who have the means to flee out of Hu County early, even if they are not as good as pigs and dogs in other places, it is worse than suffering in the hell of Hu County.

Not only that, the disaster relief money and food distributed by the imperial court were exploited layer by layer, oppressed by the gentry, and only "rice grain" mixed with 99% of the soil was left in the hands of the people. Disaster relief every year, every year like this, the gentry is rampant, the officials protect each other, and the bandits are rampant!

Daxia was destroyed, and Dongqing took over this tough bone.

Before Liu She, there were many upright officials who wanted to govern, but without exception, if they went, they would die!

As a result, Liu She became the governor of Hu County for more than a hundred years, and was worshiped as a god by the local people.

"What happened to my father back then, why was he sent to such a place?"

Jiang Pengji frowned, Hu County has a great reputation for viciousness, but any young man with some self-knowledge would not go to such a place to become an official, wouldn't he be looking for death? The Liu family is not considered a top school in Dongqing, but not everyone can underestimate it, and there should be some connections in the officialdom.

Liu She's answer was beyond Jiang Pengji's expectation, "I put it to death to be reborn, that's because my father voluntarily went there."

"Volunteer?"

Volunteer to seek death?

Or is it that Liu She is 100% sure of surviving in Hu County?

No, put it to death and come back to life?

At that time, someone really wanted to kill Liu She?

"For others, Hu County is a place of death and life, but for a father, it is a blessed place with a glimmer of life."

Liu She said with emotion, the self who was dressed in sackcloth and was about to die in grief appeared in front of her eyes, and hurried on the road with A Min's spirit.

At that time, he lost his son twice first, and then his beloved wife was seriously ill. He was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and there were all kinds of murderous intentions outside. Staring at the little Liu Mansion, holding the only child left in his arms, he was at a loss. At a loss, when I was most lost and sad, I even wanted to go like this.

It's just that what Amin said is right, Lan Ting is still alive, the enemy is still alive, he can't die yet.

Go to Hu County, there is a chance of survival!

Withdrawing her thoughts, Liu She recalled the painful memories on her face, raised her finger and pointed to Hu County, and asked, "I have nothing to do today, I will teach my father to test Lanting. If you had to go to Hu County because of your father, what would you do?" To save your life, how to gain a firm foothold, how to govern Hujun?" (To be continued.)
