The days of recuperation feel like raising pigs.
Um
I am the one being raised.
Zhu Ping'an lay on the soft couch under the pavilion in Jingxiang Garden, eating the lychees handed to him by Li Shu and enjoying the fanning of Huaer. He made a summary of his recuperation life and could not help but pull the corners of his mouth.
"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Li Shu noticed the curve of Zhu Ping'an's mouth and asked in a soft voice.
"Do you feel like a breeder?" Zhu Ping'an curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Li Shu with a smile.
"Huh? Hehehe..." Li Shu was cutely stunned for a moment, and then as smart as she was, she immediately understood what Zhu Ping'an meant. She couldn't help but giggle while covering her mouth.
Li Shu was already incredibly beautiful, and this smile made Zhu Ping'an realize what it meant to be stunningly beautiful.
"Are you being stupid again?" Li Shu pouted.
"I'm not stupid, I'm just confused." Zhu Ping'an shook his head and talked a little, trying to be mysterious.
"What's the confusion?"
Zhu Ping'an successfully aroused Li Shu's curiosity.
"What confuses me is why the seasons are so abnormal. Didn't spring already pass? How come when you smile, spring comes back?" Zhu Ping'an borrowed an old joke from the 21st century to tease Li Shu.
Your smile brings spring. This joke is old in the 21st century, but in the Ming Dynasty, it is as new as it can be.
really
Zhu Ping'an's teasing made Li Shu smile even more charmingly. She glared at Zhu Ping'an with her big watery eyes, and raised her cherry lips slightly, pretending to be angry and said coquettishly: "You are so smooth-talking, you only know how to coax people."
The little maidservant next to her felt that she was a blockhead. How could she always not keep up with the pace of the conversation between the son-in-law and the young lady? The previous breeder had to work very hard to figure out that the son-in-law mocked himself that he was healing like raising pigs. How could there be another abnormal season
Fortunately, however, it is not difficult to understand what my brother-in-law said about the abnormal seasons and the coming of spring.
Huaer saw the smile on the young lady's face and reacted a little late. The son-in-law said that the season was abnormal and spring was coming. He was praising the young lady's beauty in a different way. The son-in-law was indeed the top scholar. It turned out that he could praise people in this way.
Just like that, enjoying the breeze, eating fruits, and surrounded by beautiful girls, Zhu Ping'an's days of recuperation were so comfortable.
The medicine was changed once a day, and after the fifth change, Zhu Ping'an was able to get out of bed with the help of crutches.
This made Zhu Ping'an's recovery days more comfortable.
Prince Yu often sent people to deliver some supplements and rewards these days, and even granted Zhu Ping'an a month's leave so that he could recover from his injuries. Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei also came to visit Zhu Ping'an every now and then, telling him about the current political situation in the court and the country. Of course, they envied Zhu Ping'an's comfortable recovery days.
Through Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei, Zhu Ping'an also knew a lot about what was happening in the court and the country.
Recently, Yan Song has been fighting fiercely with the Minister of Personnel Li Mo.
Although Yan Song was persuaded by Xu Jie not to make a big fuss about the Yang Jisheng case, he still took advantage of this opportunity to eliminate several of Li Mo's followers, which caused strong dissatisfaction and backlash from Li Mo, and the two parties fought fiercely for this.
After several days of open and covert fighting, Li Mo** is clearly at a disadvantage. This is also due to his strength. Compared with the Yan Party, Li Mo** has a very obvious gap in both hard power and soft power.
However, although Li Mo was at a disadvantage, this stubborn old man was no pushover. He must have had his strengths to be able to wrestle with Yan Song for so long. Li Mo used his position as the Minister of Personnel and his relative control over the Ministry of Personnel to concentrate his forces to fight back against Yan's party's appointments and selections, and successively thwarted Yan's party's attempts to appoint Zhao Wenhua as the Grand Marshal and transfer Gao Jin to the position of Vice Minister of Rites.
Li Mo's counterattack naturally caused a strong attack from the Yan Party, especially Li Mo, who was the focus of attention. Some people advised Li Mo to take a step back, not to ask you to bow to Yan Song, you can always protect yourself, you are so old, you should think about your future.
"I am ready to be a minister. I am almost sixty years old. What else do I ask for?" The old man Li Mo refused generously, not giving in at all. He also issued strict orders to resolutely resist the Yan Party's violations of discipline and chaos in government, and not to associate with the Yan Party.
In short, most of the news in the government and the opposition during this period revolved around the dispute between Yan and Li.
After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was very grateful to Li Mo in his heart. Li Mo helped him share most of the pressure.
I think with Li Mo fighting outside, Yan Dang probably doesn't have much time to pay attention to a small role like me.
After he was able to get out of bed on the fifth day, Zhu Ping'an did not run out, although he felt uncomfortable in the mansion. At this time, it is better for him to keep a low profile, the less noticeable the better. How does the famous saying go: grow up in a sleazy way, don't waste time.
Therefore, after he was able to get out of bed with crutches, Zhu Ping'an did not go out, but strolled around the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
There is a pond in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. Not only lotus flowers are planted in the pond, but also many koi are raised. Not just ornamental koi, but mostly edible fish such as carp, crucian carp, grass carp, etc.
After Zhu Ping'an was able to use crutches to get out of bed, the koi in the pond suffered.
Because since the first day he was able to get out of bed, Zhu Ping'an picked up a fishing rod, carried a fish basket, and ran to the pond with a cane to pay his respects to the koi.
When Li Shu saw Zhu Ping'an fishing, she also asked someone to get a fishing rod and accompanied Zhu Ping'an in fishing by the pond.
Li Shu never wronged herself, so she had someone build a bamboo pavilion by the pond to protect it from the wind and sun. Although it was a temporary bamboo pavilion, it was decorated like a small palace, with all kinds of facilities inside. There were two reclining chairs for fishing, so you could sit while fishing and lie down when you were tired; there was a bronze ice jar, which could cool you down and chill fruits and drinks; there was a set of tableware and cooking utensils, so you could cook sashimi or fish soup on the spot after catching fish; there was a beauty couch, so you could rest better; as for the incense to repel mosquitoes, the maids who served with you, etc., it was needless to say.
Zhu Ping'an followed Li Shu to enjoy aristocratic fishing.
The two of them sat side by side under the bamboo pavilion, fishing and chatting, enjoying the service of the maids. They would put the ornamental koi they caught back into the pond, and would have the cook prepare fish fillets and other delicious dishes on the spot if they caught fat edible koi. They lived a leisurely life.
The summer heat was blazing, the years were peaceful, and after four days of leisurely leisure, Zhu Ping'an's health improved greatly. (To be continued)
