Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth second
If he really gave him some color, he would open a dyeing room.
Li Qian just wants to finish the social event quickly. Li Kui Hao takes Jiang Xian to the next door to listen to the song. Who has the time to talk to him?!
"Mr. Li came from afar, and he worked hard all the way!" He served tea without hesitation, "It's better to go back early to rest! Let's talk about it another day."
Then how can it work?
He finally found this opportunity! If he left like this, when he returned to Taiyuan, there was Hu Yiliang above and Ding Liu below, and there was Jin Haitao squatting beside him. How could he have the chance to say something to Li Qian in private?
"Not tired, no tired." Li Kui said, "I'm not tired yet!"
But he couldn't just sit with Li Qian like this.
He changed his mind and told Li Qian about the rumors he heard a few days ago: "...I heard that the section of the Yellow River in Luoyang broke the dike and many people died. Luoyang Mansion has been hiding it. Now he is building the dike in winter, and I don't know if it can be hidden in spring."
Li Qian was stunned and said, "Isn't the Luoyang section of the Yellow River a flood season in July and August? The dam breaks... Why haven't I heard of it? Have you hidden it now?"
Li Kui sneered and said, "How could the prince know? The Tongzhi of Luoyang Prefecture and I were in the same year. I had a close relationship with him. A few days ago, he married his daughter, so I specially sent someone to congratulate him. At that time, everyone's eyes were focused on the Tartars, so how could they care about Luoyang Prefecture? He was so busy that he had a day off at home on the day of his marriage, and he personally supervised the work on the river bank. Only then did I know."
Li Qian frowned as he heard this.
Luoyang is under the jurisdiction of Henan. The governor of Henan, Huang Chucai - was the same year as Li Yao.
He said: "Does the governor of Henan know?"
Li Kui couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard this. As expected, these political affairs can attract Li Qian's attention!
He sighed, "How could it be that I don't know! Not to mention Henan Province, even if it is a cabinet, someone will have to help them with it, so that I can hide it. Otherwise, I will be exposed to the dynasty meeting, so how could it be unknown to the outside?" He said, "The prince doesn't have to worry about it. The more he hides it, the more they will find a way to repair the river embankment as soon as possible. If he reports to the court, anyway, the affairs have come to this point. At most, the governor and governor will be forced to retire and wait for a few years to recover. The county magistrate below will take the blame and do whatever he wants. The river section where the dike is broken will not be so easy to repair it in a short time."
Li Qian naturally understood this principle.
He just felt glad for Jiang Xian.
Fortunately, she did not continue to be regent. Otherwise, if she had such a big deal, with her temperament, how could she eat well and sleep well?
He said to Li Kui: "Don't mention this matter to the princess again, so as not to worry about the princess."
Li Kui was repeatedly asked, and wanted to find some topic to talk to Li Qian, but Li Qian's servant came in and reported, "Mr. Ding is visiting!"
Both of them were surprised. Li Qian even asked in disbelief: "Mr. Ding? Which Master Ding?"
The servant respectfully handed over the prayer letter and said, "It is Lord Ding Liuding, the governor of Shanxi, who is visiting him!"
"At this time?!" Li Qian looked up suspiciously and looked out the window.
It was getting late, and big red lanterns were lit under the eaves of the inn, which were very happy, making the huge courtyard warm and festive.
The servant nodded and said, "Mr. Ding said that he came here to congratulate him specifically!"
Even if it is flattery, Ding Liu showed a sense of openness and confidence compared to Li Kui.
Li Kui's expression changed drastically.
He didn't want others to know that he came to visit Li Qian and Jiang Xian, especially since he did not have any qualitative leap with Li Qian because of this visit. Moreover, he and Ding Liu were originally close, and they usually followed Ding Liuma... He rushed to make friends with Li Qian privately before his boss Ding Liu, which is a taboo in the officialdom!
Li Kui regrets it very much.
If he had known this, he would have taken the opportunity to say goodbye. But he didn't know if it was time to leave at this time?
Li Kui hesitated, but Li Qian was not ready to cover him up, but smiled at him and said, "It's a coincidence today." Then he ordered the servant to invite Ding Liu in, and said, "Didn't Lord Li book a private room in the restaurant? Lord Ding came here, and I don't know if he had used dinner, otherwise you can go have a drink together!"
I'm afraid that next it will be Ding Liu and him!
Li Kui smiled bitterly in his heart.
After a while, Ding Liuang walked in with his chest outstretched. Seeing Li Kui, he couldn't hide his surprise. He couldn't help but pause, and then he changed his smile and walked in.
Li Qian had already greeted him: "Mr. Ding!"
Ding Liu has always wanted to be an official in the capital, so he is very close to his fellow disciples in the capital. He never forgets to treat guests and give gifts during festivals. Therefore, the things that happened in the capital will soon be heard from various channels. Everyone has a feeling that Jiang Xian left Beijing this time, retreating to advance, and there must be a later move. Otherwise, who would have given up the authority he had obtained easily?
Even if you don’t have to curry favor with Princess Jianan, you can’t offend her.
Ding Liu thought for a long time, then thought about it again and again. He was planning to hold a banquet outside the city to entertain Jiang Xian in the name of his wife. But when Hu Yiliang's flattery for Jiang Xian last time, he always felt that if he acted in the name of his wife, he would not leave any deep impression on Jiang Xian. So he sent someone to inquire about Hu Yiliang's movements, and then Hu Yiliang went to visit Li Changqing in person...
With Hu Yiliang's heart, it was impossible for him to pay a penny. When he visited Li Changqing, he must have discussed how to welcome Li Qian and Jiang Xian back to Taiyuan.
Even if he followed Hu Yiliang, he was just Dong Shixiu, and he was just one of the many people standing behind Hu Yiliang.
If you want to remove the firewood from the cauldron, the best way is to greet Hu Yiliang ten miles away.
He asked someone to inquire about Li Qian's whereabouts again.
Knowing that Li Qian would stay in Jinzhong tonight, he rushed over.
Unexpectedly, Li Kui snatched the first one.
It can be seen that no one is a fool!
Yao Xianzhi must have advised Li Kui, his brother-in-law.
This can also indirectly show that the news he received is true. Everyone has the attitude of not being able to offend Princess Jianan even if she doesn't curry favor with her.
Ding Liu was relieved of his own declining identity to welcome Li Qian.
The three of them met each other and sat down accordingly.
Ding Liu talked about the welcome ceremony of the Shanxi officialdom to Li Qian and Jiang Xian: "... All officials of the seventh rank and above in Taiyuan will be present, and Lord Hu will be the leader to welcome you and the princess in the governor's yamen. Then Lord Hu, Lord Zhou and I will send the prince and the princess back to the Li family together. Do you think there is any inconvenience? After all, the princess is a female family member. Although we have experience in receiving officials, this is the first time we receive the imperial carriage."
Logically, after the banquet, the girl in the yard should have been called in to come in and sing the song.
Because of Jiang Xian, this battle was spared.
Li Kui curled his lips as he heard this.
Only Hu Yiliang can do this.
Hold a banquet at the Governor's Office to entertain Li Qian and Jiang Xian?
Who isn't treating guests in the largest restaurant in the local area?
Hu Yiliang is really stingy and has really come out of a new realm...
Even if they don’t want to pay the money, I asked the Yuan family to attend and ask them to help give the money. Is this necessary?
He wanted to joke about Hu Yiliang about this matter. Since Dante Liu entered the house, he never looked at him again except for saying hello to him at the beginning.
Li Kui knew that Ding Liu was angry with him.
But what can he do?
Yao Xianzhi repeatedly reminded that he just wanted to have a personal relationship with Li Qian.
Didn’t Tading Liu appear here with the same thoughts as him?
