Rebirth Handbook - Chapter 179
“Where to go and a farewell, as long as one month, as long as half a year, don’t read it. When you go, you will miss your birthday. I am really sorry to want to come. When I don’t know how to return, you may see a new work by Songhe Jushi?”
Pei Shunqing thought about the portrait Ying Xian had promised him before.
At this moment, the peach blossoms that went to Beijing in the south have already faded, and Ying Xian folds the letter out of the peach branch with green leaves outside her attic, unfolds a piece of white paper, and grinds the ink carefully.
In fact, although she agreed to Pei Shunqing, she didn’t know how to paint. Painting people is not the same as painting anything else. Ying Xian has never tried painting people. She only loves painting mountains and flowers that are lively and comfortable.
As she slowly rubbed the ink in her hand, Ying Xian remembered going to see Peach Blossom with Pei Shunqing a month ago. When he wanted to be a gentleman, his appearance and manners couldn’t find the slightest mistake, leading her in the peach forest, and many women couldn’t help staring at him with red cheeks.
But he only looked at her.
“Even if everyone in the world looks at me, I will only look at you.” Pei Shunqing said so at the time. When he said this, his eyes were affectionate and the tone was soft and low, with an inexplicable scent. I have to say that when Ying Xian, who had never been tempted by people before, heard this, he couldn’t help blushing and heartbeat.
But immediately, Master Pei leaned to his ear and said with a smile: “I saw this sentence in the script. It sounds a bit embarrassing to say it, and I don’t know how other people wrote it.”
That story, Ying Xian borrowed to pay her respects after returning. Then she found that the male protagonist inside was surprisingly Lord Pei.
There are actually quite a few stories about taking Master Pei as the protagonist. The more straightforward ones use Pei Shunqing’s name directly, and the more subtle ones use a pseudonym, but judging from the descriptions of’extremely prosperous, talented, assisting the new emperor, and modest and gentle’, it is undoubtedly Pei Shunqing.
As for the heroine, there are everything from the famous prostitute in the brothel to Xiaojiabiyu and even the heroine of the dust. What Ying Xian sees is amazing. Looking at the content of those words again, Pei Shunqing is a dignified gentleman, and staged a love-hate relationship with the ladies.
Ying Xian was very embarrassed when she saw it at the beginning, she only felt like her face was burnt and embarrassed. After all, the Pei Shunqing described in the book and the Pei Shunqing she knew were really like the difference between heaven and earth. But after watching it for a long time, I can see a little bit of fun. Not to mention, the love words in the book are still very moving.
It was also after reading these scripts that Ying Xian understood that Pei Shunqing’s love words that came out from time to time were all learned from.
But… Ying Xian was a little strange, why didn’t those scripts contain her as Madam Pei? Why not write a book yourself?
Together with this idea, it can’t be suppressed. Ying Xian writes as he speaks and writes instead of painting. The polished ink is just used to write books.
So while Pei Shunqing was busy with disaster relief in Guanzhou, Ying Xian was writing at the desk in Hou’s mansion and wrote a book of the famous book “Good Marriage”.
In this storybook, the sick lady of Ying’s family got better after marrying Master Pei. The two noticed each other’s affection while getting along, so a pair of lovers became married together day by day.
After finishing writing, nearly two months have passed since Pei Shunqing left Beijing. Ying Xian looked at the script that she had written, and she was quite satisfied, but she thought maybe she should show it to others.
Of course, this task was handed over to several maids around him. They followed her ears and eyes, and they were also literate.
Several maids read the storybook, and their reactions were different. Neither Juzi nor Lizhi could tell why they came. They only thought it was good, but the rose apples were quite stance and analyzed carefully with Ying Xian.
“Miss, you can’t write this story like that.”
“Oh?” Ying Xian asked curiously, “what’s wrong with writing this way?”
Rose Tao replied: “Miss, look at other scripts. The protagonist should not go through a lot of hardships and hardships to have a lover finally get married. How can there be a lady that you wrote so smoothly. You have to add some “Lao Zhangren Bang Da”. “The mandarin duck” the emperor suddenly gave us a marriage to break up a pair of lovers. “The brothel, the prostitute, the protagonist and the protagonist caused a misunderstanding.”
Ying Xian: Why are you so skilled in Syzygium?
After flipping through her own textbook, Ying Xian felt a little incomprehensible, “Isn’t it okay to go smoothly?” She has experienced all the helplessness and regrets, and only hopes to give herself a completion in the textbook.
Shiliu on the side said: “It is good to be smoother, but this is an interesting thing to read. Miss, your writing is too correct and peaceful, and lacks the deep affection. How can such a flat and watery get along The love of those young ladies and ladies. Besides, you write that the hero loves to make fun of people and is also lazy. This is not in line with the image of Master Pei. It is called an aberration, and no one will like it. Some people will think that Miss You The writing does not fit the image of Master Pei because he is jealous of him and wants to discredit his reputation.”
Ying Xian is very wronged, Pei Shunqing is such a man.
Turning over her own textbook sadly, Ying Xian finally decided not to change it, “I won’t change it, just like that, let someone take it to the bookstore and ask the boss if he wants to accept it.”
Three days later, Ying Xian’s book was returned. The owner of the bookstore said that the bookkeeper had damaged Master Pei’s reputation, and the book would not be given. Ying Xian was helpless, and decided to wait for Pei Shunqing to come back to reason with him.
But when will Pei Shunqing come back? Since he went to Guanzhou, there has been no news, only the first letter.
Thinking of the letter, Ying Xian remembered a question, and promised that Pei Shunqing’s painting had not been painted yet.
Suddenly, I wanted to write a storybook. During this time, I was busy working on the storybook, and I forgot the painting. Ying Xian slapped her forehead, put the script away, and spread out the paper to think about what to draw.
After thinking about the blank paper for three days, Ying Xian wrote down.
When her painting was finished, new news finally came from Guanzhou.
Civil unrest occurred in Guanzhou, a large number of victims rioted, and the situation in Guanzhou could not be controlled. The original officials in Guanzhou counties, as well as the officials sent by Southern Beijing to relief the disaster, were all trapped in the city by the insurgents.
Hearing the news that Sheng Yonghou had brought back, Ying Xian was stunned for a while. Before she showed anything, Sheng Yonghou patted her shoulder comfortably and said: “Xianxian don’t worry, the court will send troops to help soon. When the time comes, Dad will ask him to bring his troops there, and he will definitely bring Pei Shunqing back to you with all his tails.”
Ying Xian recovered, but comforted Sheng Yonghou, “Father, Pei Shunqing is very smart and has many minds. He will be fine. Don’t worry.”
Sheng Yonghou originally wanted to persuade him again, but when he looked at his daughter’s expression, it seemed that he was not worried at all. He was afraid that her daughter was holding on. He said it would make her daughter uncomfortable, so he swallowed it back. Sheng Yonghou thought to himself, even if Pei Shunqing is smart, but he is a weak scholar who does not know how to martial arts, what can he do if he encounters this kind of civil disturbance.
Thirty years ago, there was a civil disorder in Xunzhou. The officials who were sent to the disaster relief were beaten to death by the angry troublemakers. In the end, even the whole body was not recovered. In such cases, the officials sent by the court are the most dangerous.
The DPRK also got into trouble because of this incident. Some people advocated sending imperial envoys to comfort the victims, and some advocated sending troops directly to suppress them, which caused the emperor’s troubles.
The one who lost the news was his most trusted young courtier. Yu Si was still a close friend of his personal friendship. How could he not want to send troops to suppress it, but civil chaos is like a flood, so gambling cannot be stopped. He needs to know what happened. It was okay a month ago, but Pei Shunqing said that things have eased. Why did the civil unrest suddenly break out?
After thinking about it for a few days, the emperor decided to send troops to surround Guanzhou City where the civil unrest broke out. The imperial mission also sent two, both of them were Hanlin who worked with Pei Shunqing.
As a result, a group of people just walked out of the capital and saw a fast horse running from a distance. The person on that horse was not who Pei Shunqing was.
I saw that Master Pei had a disheveled hair and was still wearing a woman’s coarse cloth dress. Everyone who looked at him was in a daze, thinking that there was something wrong with his eyes.
“Pei, Da Pei? Is Lord Pei ahead?” Hanlin Master Zhou Ce immediately shouted.
“Exactly, I have an urgent report to present to the emperor. The adults are waiting here. When I meet the emperor, I will go to Guanzhou with you.” Pei Shunqing, who is wearing a woman’s dress, doesn’t feel anything like that. No, the tone is solemn.
Infected by his attitude, everyone came back to their senses. They felt that there must be something inside Guanzhou, and they all guessed, but no one paid attention to his dress.
At this time, Sheng Yonghou, who was leading the soldiers, spoke, and without a word, he nodded a few people, “You will join me to **** Master Pei to Beijing, and the others are waiting here.”
“Yes!”
Master Zhou and Master Lin quickly said, “Then we will go back with Master Pei.”
“Thank you, everyone.” Pei Shunqing hurried back to Beijing, feeling embarrassed before he could take care of it, and went straight into the palace to meet the emperor.
An hour later, Pei Shunqing left the palace with the emperor’s new decree, and ran towards Guanzhou again with Sheng Yonghou. On the next day, the officials knew what had happened.
Officials of 15 counties in Guanzhou went all out, embezzled the disaster funds, concealed the disaster situation, lied about the number and location of the disaster, and killed the victims in captivity. When a group of people sent to the disaster relief work discovered that something was wrong, they simply controlled them and lied that it was. The disaster victims are really bold enough to make trouble.
However, Pei Shunqing found out that it was wrong early on, and dealt with those people on the face, and secretly visited and searched for evidence. However, on the eve of his preparation to report, he was discovered and imprisoned in the Guanzhou dungeon, almost killed. In the end, it was the so-called ‘chaotic people’ who rescued him.
The gates of Guanzhou were only allowed to enter and not to exit. The investigation was extremely strict. Pei Shunqing had to pretend to be a woman before he came out. He didn’t stop for a while, just to return to Nanshangjing earlier to tell everything and control the situation in Guanzhou earlier. Avoid greater casualties.
This is not a ‘civil chaos’ in Guanzhou at all, but an ‘official disaster’ from the bottom up.
The emperor was furious and immediately issued an order to arrest hundreds of officials from Guanzhou. The food for disaster relief was transported to Guanzhou again.
Pei Shunqing entered and left Beijing, passing by the gate of Sheng Yonghou’s mansion. He only glanced at the closed gate, and then left without stopping. Ying Xian, who ran out after receiving the news, could not see Pei Shunqing, but stood at the door for a while before returning to the mansion.
After that, news from Guanzhou began to arrive. One of the officials was arrested by the selfless imperial commissioner Pei, two were beheaded on the spot to reassure the people, and the rest were escorted to Beijing. Sheng Yonghou took the soldiers to control the situation. A small number of people who were really messed up were quickly suppressed. The scattered victims slowly returned to rebuild their homes under the arrangement of newly promoted officials.
Building new dams, investigating corrupt officials, pacifying the victims… A series of things took several months, and when Pei Shunqing returned to Beijing, it was almost New Year.
When he returned to Beijing under the blizzard, in the grass pavilion outside the southern capital, he saw Ying Xian who came to greet him specially.
Seeing Ying Xian’s first glance, Pei Shunqing, who was still smiling, groaned, and pressed her head, her expression was very desperate, and her tone trembled, “Xianxian, what about your meat… how thin it is!”
Ying Xian said “You are back” in her mouth. She was blocked by this sentence. She looked down at herself. This year, she has smoked, and she has grown a lot. The fat meat that was previously eliminated has disappeared. a little. It is indeed thin, but according to ordinary people’s eyes, it is still quite mellow. Why does Pei Shunqing look like she is losing her weight.
Compared with Pei Shunqing, Ying Xian felt that she should be more uncomfortable, because Pei Shunqing had sunburned a lot.
A good beauty has turned into black charcoal.
