Chapter 1 The son returns in white
There are many dynasties in the secular world, there are five super dynasties, and under the super dynasties, there are countless subsidiary dynasties.
Great Xia is one of the five super dynasties. The Li family is one of the best families in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the two heads of the Li family since the founding of the country are both extremely popular ministers.
There is a forest north of the imperial capital, which is the cemetery of the Li family.
Li Sinan sat in front of the grave of his eldest brother Li Yuekong, slowly cleaned up the snow on the grave, he took off the wine gourd from his waist, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just drank quietly.
The wine is not good wine, it is just an ordinary burning knife, but this is his favorite, because this wine is the eldest brother's favorite.
"Big brother, I haven't come to see you for four years, do you think I don't look like a swordsman now?" Li Sinan slowly pulled out the iron sword he was carrying, the wind blew the hair on Li Sinan's forehead, floating wildly, and the snowflakes fell on his body, gradually accumulating.
Li Sinan's words, no one answered, he continued to talk to himself: "Four years ago, you were ordered to go on an expedition, but you didn't come back alive. I know that you were killed by a traitor, and when you come back this time, you will have to pay with blood in order to comfort your spirit in heaven......"
"I haven't sent a letter to my family for four years, and when I go home, I'm afraid I will inevitably be scolded by my father......" Li Sinan had a slight smile on his face, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes: "After you left, I also practiced swordsmanship diligently, why don't I dance a sword for my eldest brother!"
With that, Li Sinan's palm slashed from the hilt of the sword, and the iron sword came out of its sheath in response. In the wind and snow, dressed in white, with long hair fluttering, this sword, practiced for half an hour, and the surrounding cleaned up places were piled up with snow, but under Li Sinan's feet, there was no snow, only Dao Dao sword marks.
"Big brother, it's not too early, I'll go back first, next time I come to see you, and then I'll bring you a burning knife. Li Sinan turned the wine gourd upside down, and all the wine flowed onto the snow.
Li Sinan shook his head with a wry smile, bowed to the tomb, turned to leave, and the sword marks all over the ground were gradually covered with snow:
"When it's cold and windy away from home,
It's also a snowy day back.
Dingyuanzhi back then,
But what a long sleep. ”
............
The cold wind is still there, Bai Xue Feifei, outside the capital of Emperor Daxia, a man in white looked at this city and was fascinated, he carried a green bamboo around his waist and held a white horse. Who is it if it's not Li Sinan?
It's been four years since I've been gone, there has been no news, and I don't know what his father's reaction will be, Li Sinan was worried, but he didn't hesitate, it was home, it was a place that he hadn't returned to for many years, and this time he came back just to confirm the matter of the eldest brother, the brothers of the Li family, not anyone can hurt him! A cold light suddenly burst out from Li Sinan's eyes, and there was even an invisible momentum, and the frightened sparrows around him who were foraging for food flew away.
"Sugar gourd, the last three strings!"
"Baked cakes, freshly baked cakes. ”
"Chaos, let's have a bowl of hot chaos when it's cold. ”
"Eh, Childe, a fur coat produced in Western Xinjiang, keep warm from the cold, let's wear one at home!" A small trader wrapped in thick clothes carried a sweater and rummaged in front of Li Sinan. Li Sinan smiled flatly, but turned around and walked to the vendor of the sugar gourd: "Boss, give me the rest......"
"Okay! The vendor handed the sugar gourd to Li Sinan, then took the money and ran away from the city with the burden.
The shouting on the street continued, and the corners of Li Sinan's mouth showed a peaceful smile, home is still the way it is home, and the people in the family should not have changed, right? Li Sinan looked at the three strings of sugar gourds in his hand, and thought as he walked.
"Get out of the way!
A man shouted crudely behind Li Sinan, and when he heard the sound, he turned around, only to see a cavalryman in velvet armor galloping on a war horse, and behind him, a carriage followed, and at a glance he knew that it was a member of a high-ranking official family. Li Sinan frowned slightly, he didn't like this kind of flamboyant approach.
The car was soon gone, leaving only the commotion and smoke that had not yet calmed down.
"Hey! it's a carriage to the first mansion again, I don't know what kind of fuss it is......"
"I heard that the third lady of the Li Mansion gave birth to a son, but I'm afraid that these are all to congratulate. ”
"Then you don't need to go to the Chinese New Year's Eve, right?"
"Alas, who knows, let's not talk about those who are officials......"
"That's right. ”
The people talked about these things privately, but they didn't expect the second son of the Li family to be next to him, but Li Sinan didn't care about it, tightened his clothes, and continued to walk towards the first mansion.
At the side door of the Li Mansion, an old man strictly told the two family members not to put in any suspicious people, many ministers are here today, but there can be no chaos. However, at this moment, the old man Lin Li suddenly heard a young voice behind him and called Uncle Li. Lin Li was puzzled, in this Li Mansion, the lord called him Lin Li, the subordinates called him the housekeeper, and the young ladies also called him Lin Bo, this Uncle Li sounded very familiar, as if someone had called him that a long time ago...... At that time, when the eldest prince and the second prince were in the house, they called him that...... Thinking of this, he saw the young face clearly-the second son!
"Gong ...... Gong ......" Lin Li was speechless for a while.
Li Sinan stuffed the sugar gourd in his hand to Lin Li: "What father-in-law and mother-in-law, Uncle Li, please send it to Rong Rong." I'm going to see my grandfather first. With that, he walked straight to the study, where every day, Mr. Li Tianzheng would practice calligraphy.
It wasn't until Li Sinan turned around the corner that Lin Li relieved himself. The old hand wiped away a handful of tears, and then ran towards Li Murong's room, leaving only two family members staring at each other: This young man is very suspicious!
Li Sinan went to the study, but the old man Li Tianzheng was not there, so he thought it should be in the guest room. So Li Sinan returned to his room four years ago, pushed open the door, and a smell of dust came to his face. Li Sinan couldn't help but smile slightly: What was it like when he left, and what is it now, it's just a little more dusty...... Isn't there anyone to clean it?
In the Li family guest hall, Lin Li leaned sideways and whispered a few words in Li Changfeng's ear, the smile on Li Changfeng's face gradually converged, and finally he was even angry, and slapped the arm of the chair suddenly: "Does this unfilial thing still know to come back?"
The guests were really taken aback, thinking to themselves that your precious fourth son had done something ridiculous about robbing the marriage?
The old man Li Tianzheng, the father of the contemporary head of the family, Li Changfeng, glared at Li Changfeng at a glance: "What are you yelling about? The boss is not small, there is no one like the head of the family! After saying that, he smiled and arched his hand to the people in the hall: "Everyone, let Lao Yu say goodbye first, and go to see if my grandson has caused something again." ”
After that, he didn't wait for everyone to answer, in fact, he didn't need anyone's reply, the founding fathers of Great Xia didn't need others to nod their heads.
In the courtyard of the Li family, a girl in a green shirt with a sugar gourd was running in the snow, and when she saw her subordinates, she asked, "Have you seen my second brother?"
"I didn't ...... No, Miss ...... "Before the family finished speaking, the girl in the green shirt had already run away."
"Did you see my second brother?"
"Second Young Master?"
"Have you seen my second brother?"
"No ......"
"You're so useless!"
“......”
Li Murong slammed Li Sinan's room open - the room was much cleaner, there was no dust, but there was no one. She gasped, straightened her velvet sweater, and there was another place that Li Sinan had loved to go to since she was a child.
Li Murong took a deep breath, and there were two wooden doors in front of her, and behind the doors was an inkstone. The family has been a military general for generations, but the second son of the Li family is not good at martial arts, and likes to study some Confucian academics, Li Changfeng scolded him for not being a filial son and not angry. He didn't care about this, and secretly changed the pond in the back garden into an inkstone pond, and even asked someone to throw the stele of "Shangfu Youtan" inscribed by the Taishi himself outside the courtyard, and he was called a loser. was directly confined by Li Changfeng for more than half a month.
"If you don't have it here, the second brother may have sneaked away again......" Li Murong sighed and pushed open the wooden door that had not been opened for a long time. Then she saw that a figure dressed in white was squatting beside the inkstone, and his handsome and delicate side face looked like his eldest brother Li Yuekong, a little more resolute than what she remembered. Second brother, sure enough, I'm back! Li Murong opened her mouth, but found that her voice was choked in her throat and she couldn't say anything.
The snow stopped, the dark clouds slowly opened a crack, the winter sun shone on the snow, and Li Sinan's shadow dragged out a slender shadow on the white snow.
This is the person who left home at sixteen and returned to twenty, and it was snowy all the time he came and went.
"At the beginning of the heavy snow, I heard the song of the shepherd flute and sheng, and when people returned, they still had the same old appearance. Li Sinan had a calm smile on his face, turned around, and looked at the youngest and most painful sister: "Xiao Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The sugar gourd in Li Murong's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and she couldn't cry anymore: "Second brother...... Where did you go, we thought you were dead...... Woo......"
Li Sinan patted Xiao Qi's head, although he didn't say anything, he had been adrift for a long time, so that his heart, which was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, rose in circles. At this moment, Li Sinan heard a steady and powerful footsteps behind him, and subconsciously turned around, with snow-white beard and wrinkled face like old bark, but it was such an old man who looked like he was about to die, standing there gave people mountain-like pressure, which was accompanied by the momentum of his identity - Li Tianzheng, the founding prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Seeing the old man with angry eyes, Li Sinan choked up the words on his lips again, and wanted to greet him with a smile, but then he found that he couldn't laugh, so he could only stare at his grandson with big eyes. In the end, it was Old Man Li who softened: "It's good to come back......"
Hearing this, Li Sinan finally couldn't help it, and his nose was sour: "My grandson is not filial, so I ...... you worried" said that he couldn't stop the flow of tears.
In the snowy clear river, the son returned in white.
This is in the sad place, and there is no need to mourn and cheer.
