Chapter 77: The Lan Clan Enters the Mansion
VIP chapter content,
The heavy snow has not stopped falling from yesterday to this morning, and this heavy snow is quite imposing, like flying flowers in spring, and the dry branches of the trees have turned into snow-white coral overnight. www.biquge.info Li Weicheng, who was supposed to rush back to Beijing yesterday evening, sat in the carriage with a hint of pride and joy on his face full of anxiety, mixed with the bustling crowd, and rushed in from the city gate.
Li Weicheng has been in charge of foreign affairs for six years, and this time he returned to Beijing, there were seven or eight horse-drawn carriages carrying people, plus boxes and parcels, etc., and the long convoy occupied half of the street. Strangely enough, a strong ox with a simple head pulled a wooden cart and walked at the front of the convoy! On the carriage, a huge square object was covered with coarse cloth, which seemed to be extremely heavy, and was firmly tied to the ox cart, dragging the procession very slowly.
Today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, slaughtering poultry and catching a big gathering. The already crowded crowd on the street was squeezed to both sides by the convoy, pointing at the ox cart, the squeaking of the ox cart was obviously overwhelmed, and it was about to fall apart.
Under the snow in the winter of this year, almost all the adults who returned to Beijing to report on their work delayed their trips on the road, and did not arrive in Beijing one after another until the end of the year, and the people have become accustomed to having officials enter the city from time to time in these days. Someone pointed to the word 'Li' on the best and widest carriage and said, "I don't know which Lord Li is this, didn't you pick up some treasure on the road?"
A few middle-aged people who looked like businessmen followed the convoy into the city, and they were also lively, and when they heard this question, they said: "You don't know, this is Lord Li returning to Beijing and passing by Hongdu Mansion, and he happened to see Ling Ren chopping ice, and actually cut out a half-human high boulder from the bottom of the river......"
There is a habit of cellaring ice in various places, and when they enter the wax moon, Ling people in various places begin to cut ice. It is stored in an ice cellar for the royal family and various mansions to cool off in the hot summer season. The merchant rubbed his hands, took a breath and continued: "The boulder is old, and at first glance it is an extraordinary thing, depicting a real dragon and a young phoenix, such an auspicious omen! When Lord Li saw it, he was surprised, bowed to the boulder three times, and hurriedly ordered someone to carry the boulder back to Shangjing together. Hey...... It's a shame that this one is going to enter the king and please him!"
"Huh, a real dragon and a young phoenix?" a short man poked his head out of the crack in the human body and said, "Could it be the ...... that the Great Xia envoy said?"
Everyone was stunned, "Eh, then, it's been a month, and the Great Xia envoy has not left from Great Xia for a long time." Yan Ming was determined to wait for the mystery of the orb to be solved before returning to Great Xia, so as to give an explanation to the King of Great Xia. Could it be that this is a dragon and a phoenix flying out of the orb?"
Li Weicheng sat in the carriage, leaning forward slightly, looking forward with his head looking ahead, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement. Although his father is the right minister, but his biological mother is just a concubine, if he relied on Li Yu at the beginning, he could also seek an official and a half-position in Beijing, and he didn't need to go to the outside to endure this hardship, but what was the use, he was always just a concubine, and he had no great talent, and he would have achieved five grades at most. But Li Weicheng is not just a five-grade official......
Li Weicheng was wrong and wrong, thinking of the stunning third brother, he couldn't let out the anger in his heart, from childhood to adulthood, he was compared everywhere, and said in front of him that Li Weiqing was so good and that was good...... Now that I have saved some experience, I have finally earned a reputation for honesty, just to be able to return to Beijing to find a good way out...... Unexpectedly, even God helped him. When he heard the words of the Great Xia envoy before, he still scoffed, but he didn't expect that he would see this auspicious rui with his own eyes in the blink of an eye...... This is a rare opportunity! Since he picked up this stone, he has been eager to offer it and let it go all the way.
The little guy had already reported to Li's house, after all, Li Weicheng had the word 'long', and he was Li Yu's first child, so naturally he was still different from other concubines, but Li Weicheng himself didn't think so, and he had been standing under Li Weiqing's aura, which had already offset this little superiority! Li Shuci thought about it, and also waited with everyone at the door.
Menzi listened to the order with a strange expression, pulled the ox cart aside, and prepared to unload the boulder and move into the mansion temporarily.
The two carriages entered the second gate first, and Li Weicheng is now thirty-five and can be regarded as personable. Behind him, the mother-in-law helped a beautiful woman who looked to be only in her twenties get out of the car. This must be the Lan family who has not yet entered the house, and is busy asking for the family tree! Everyone peeked at this beauty, Li Shuci was happy, not to mention how complete the people who came here to welcome the eldest uncle today. I'm afraid it's also for this meek and virtuous beauty.
It is said that the beautiful concubine raised by the eldest uncle is the daughter of the prefect of Xia County, and Li Shuci does not know whether she is virtuous or not, but this Lan family is really good-looking, delicate as a peach blossom, as if it is about to float away when the wind blows. Li Shuyu sneered behind and whispered next to Wu, "How do I feel like I've seen a big sister?"
The Wu family is also full of schadenfreude, although Li Shuyu was born to a concubine, but she is just a daughter, and she will only be a dowry in the future, and the Wu family doesn't care about that bit of silver, not to mention that Li Shuyu has always been close to them, and she is very good at pleasing the Wu family. Wu sneered when he heard this, and glanced at her with appreciation in his eyes, but said in his mouth: "What nonsense!"
Immediately after that, two four or five-year-old children, needless to say, were naturally a pair of children born by the Lan family, Li Qiao and Li Shuyan. Zhou and Li Shuqiao were recuperating from their injuries and didn't come, but Li Zheng and Li Shuwen came. Li Zheng took a step forward, still looking gentle and amiable, and said, "Father." ”
Li Shuwen doesn't have such a good temperament, she was hit by the injuries of Zhou and Li Shuqiao before, and she wilted for a while, but now she sees her father with a young and beautiful aunt and children, how can she hold it down, and run forward in a few steps, "Daddy!" The anger in his eyes couldn't wait to burn directly on Lan's face!
Lan's legs and feet were weak at the right time, and his movements were soft and graceful on Li Weicheng's body, with a frightened and aggrieved look. Seeing this, the two children hurriedly rushed towards the Lan family, their eyes widened, their mouths deflated, and they looked directly at Li Shuwen, and they cried loudly, but they shouted in their mouths: "Mother!
After returning home well, she was turned into a bloody parting by this mother, Li Shuwen was trembling with anger, and was almost suffocated with a mouthful of blood, but the mother didn't say a word, she couldn't even refute it!
The girl Li Shuyan stopped her tears and sobbed a few times aggrievedly, and snorted, but she refused to come down in Li Weicheng's arms, Li Weicheng turned her head and frowned at her daughter Li Shuwen, who was already very strange, and said, "Why didn't your mother come?"
Li Shuwen's whole heart was pinched, and she said in a trembling voice: "Father, mother is injured, and I still can't get out of bed......"
Li Weicheng was stunned for a moment, obviously he had forgotten! After a while, Li Shuwen's heart had completely fallen into the ice hole. Li Shuci raised his eyes and looked at Li Zheng, Li Zheng's expression was as usual, and his face was still the soft and gentle appearance of ten thousand years, but the cold blade in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Li Zheng took a step forward and said, "It has been snowing heavily this winter, and my father must have walked for such a long time! Hurry up and enter the house! Grandfather and grandmother are waiting for you!" Li Shuwen forcibly suppressed her anger, lowered her head and stopped talking.
A crowd of people rushed into the upper room again, and the incense burner of the three friends of the hollow inlaid silver year was burning with three clear incense, and the earth dragon was burning, and the house was warm. When the family Li Yu and the old lady sat on the top, Li Weicheng fell to the ground with a thud as soon as he entered the door, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled: "My son is not filial, and I feel deeply guilty for not being able to serve my father and mother for many years...... After a few years of wandering, I realized how blessed it is to have my father and mother to help me......"
To tell the truth, Li Shuci can't even pull his face to say so many sensational and bitter good things! Li Weicheng has done everything in front of his grandmother since he was a child, and no one can say anything bad when he sees it, and it is no wonder that Li Weicheng's grandmother, who can coax, has no temper.
Lan pulled a pair of children, knelt behind Li Weicheng, listened to Li Weicheng's crying, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Father, mother Wanfu Jin'an!"
Li Shuyan and Li Qiao looked curiously at Li Yu and the old lady sitting on the top, and shouted obediently: "Grandfather and grandmother Wanfu Jin'an!"
Who is Ren, as long as it is not a deep hatred, it is difficult to have a bad feeling for such a well-behaved and cute doll, the people in the house praised the sensible, the old lady said: "Get up quickly!" said that he took off a pair of gold silk and jade bracelets in his hand, and asked Lian's mother to marry Mobao and the gold ring collar worn by the little girl, and gave it to the Lan mother and son, which is equivalent to recognizing the Lan family!
Lan's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly pushed a pair of children to kneel down and kowtow to the old lady, and everyone in the room saw that the old lady had a greeting gift, so naturally they would not have nothing to do to find trouble to save Lan's face, and after a while, the two little guys hugged the gold and jade in their arms. Wu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and he gave the most, "These two children are really painful!"
Li Yu saw that everyone had seen it, so he said: "I'm tired on the road, wash the dust and rest for a while, and talk about it at dinner." Obviously, he was going to recruit Li Weicheng alone, and he still had something to say.
Li Shuwen followed behind Li Zheng with a gloomy face, and finally there was no one around, and her voice was crying: "Big brother......"
Li Zheng stood still, was silent for a moment and said, "You go back and comfort your mother, leave this matter to me!"
Li Shuci returned to his yard, and Qingge came out of the yard and said happily: "Although doctors can't heal themselves, Mu Yun is proficient in the two techniques of medicine and poison, and his body is good, and Mu Shan is healing back and forth, and now the wound has healed, and I want to be able to get out of bed and walk around after the New Year!"
Li Shuci's mood is still inevitably a little depressed, Mu Yun is the first to follow her except for Qingge, not to mention the deep feelings, Mu Yun was injured like this in order to save her, "The wound is healed, give Mu Yun the woad grease that my mother gave me before, such a long wound, don't leave a scar." ”
Entering the house, Li Shuci sank his heart: "When He Quan came in the evening, tell him that auspicious rui has arrived, and the east wind will begin to blow......"
