Chapter 1: The news brought by my brother
The morning of Jiuzhi Mountain is still full of quiet beauty as before. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the pavilion slowly rise along the side of the mountain, splashing the warm halo on the roof of the three-in-three rooms at the foot of the mountain, covering this simple small house with a layer of hazy glow.
A simplely decorated but sturdy carriage approached along the mountain road, and stopped with a sigh as it reached the hut.
The young man who was driving the car jumped off the wheel with a whip, neatly lifted the curtain, took out a small footstool and put it next to the car, and stood aside in a regular manner, waiting for the person in the car to appear.
"Huzi, you get the car out of the way, don't get in the way."
Su Minzhi stepped on the footstool and calmly walked out of the car, wearing a moon-white robe with moire embroidered edges, which showed that he was in the wind and extremely chic.
Since the death of Emperor Taizong a year ago, Li Zhi ascended the throne as emperor. The two brothers took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and amnesty to the world, and in addition to the years of running the kitchen, they also accumulated some family funds, and for a time they became famous rich families in Chang'an City.
"Lan Xin!" Su Min took two steps forward, pushed open the bamboo courtyard door and walked straight inside.
The courtyard was quiet, there was no sound, only a few hens in the bamboo fence at the door were giggling with the chickens to eat, raising their heads from time to time, curiously looking at the person who pushed the door in.
Su Minzhi was suspicious, but he heard a crisp call behind him, and when he looked back, he saw the bright smiling face of the businessman.
"Brother? What are you doing here? The merchant put down the bamboo basket in his hand and looked at Su Minzhi in surprise.
"Brother Su!" Li Mo followed the merchant into the courtyard, smiled faintly at Su Minzhi, and said hello.
"Li Mo, Lan Xin, this early in the morning, where did you come back from?" Su Minzhi looked the two of them up and down, and looked at the two of them a little strangely as if they had just come back from going out.
"We went to offer incense to the first emperor and the first queen, and we just came down, brother, you see! There's also the mushrooms I just picked in the mountains! I'll make you a wild mushroom soup later. Shang Shang pointed to the basket at his feet and smiled at Su Minzhi.
"Shangshang, please sit in Brother Su's house!" Li Mo smiled lightly and took the merchant's hand and led him into the house.
Since the first emperor funeral day Li Zhi ascended the throne, Li Mo asked for a will, built this small courtyard at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain, took the businessmen who had been discharged from the palace, quietly left Chang'an, and supported the burial of Emperor Taizong's coffin, then settled down here, quietly guarding filial piety for Emperor Taizong, this guard is a year, during this period the two have never returned to Chang'an, even Li Zhi sent someone to urge, Li Mo never refused to leave half a step.
"Oh! That's right! Look at me, I'm so stupid, I forgot to let my brother in and sit. The merchant stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously.
Su Minzhi shook his head dotingly, this Lan Xin is still like a child who has not grown up!
The three of them sat down in the back room, and the merchant went to the stove to boil some water, poured tea for the three of them, and then sat down. Su Minzhi looked at the furnishings in the room while drinking tea.
This was the first time he had been to Jiuzhi Mountain. In the past, every time he wrote to say that he wanted to come to the business, he always persuaded him, and there were many things to do, so it was not until today that he finally made the trip. Seeing Shang Shang's happy face with a red face, his worries were finally half relieved.
"Brother! What is the reason for your visit this time? ”
The merchant took a sip of tea, and then remembered to ask Su Minzhi about his intentions. The kitchen business is excellent, if there is nothing to do, where can Su Minzhi find time to travel so far to Jiuzhi Mountain?
"It's nothing, I haven't come to see you for so long, so I can't rest assured. Besides......" Su Minzhi's face flushed slightly, and then said: "I have asked my eldest brother for advice, and I plan to marry Green Sleeves at the end of this month, and I want to tell you that I must go back to Chang'an for a wedding wine then." ”
Although the businessman has not yet married, the matter between her and Li Mo is basically a certainty, and she will get married as soon as Li Mo's three-year filial piety period expires, and the businessman has accompanied Li Mo to keep filial piety here, so Su Minzhi simply counted his sister-in-law as the Li family.
"Brother! You've finally got your senses? I thought it would be a long time coming! Hahaha! Shang Shang smiled happily, and she was relieved to think that Green Sleeves and Su Minzhi could finally have a lover and finally become a family.
"Brother Su! Congratulations! A sincere smile appeared on Li Mo's face, and the terrifying scar left a year ago also seemed gentle.
"Thank you! Be sure to come and drink the wedding sake then! Su Minzhi owed, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
"Brother! Is there anything I can help with? Shang Shang looked at Su Minzhi's appearance, and suddenly felt a little conscious of being a sister.
Although she lives farther away now, Su Minzhi is also her brother, so there should be some things that her sister should do, right?
"There's nothing for you to do, as long as you get home on time." Su Minzhi smiled.
He has already arranged everything, as long as Lan Xin can go back to Chang'an by then, Green Sleeves will be so happy, that little woman! She really regards Lan Xin as her good sister, if Lan Xin is not there on the day she leaves the cabinet, I am afraid that she will cry sadly!
"Good! Good! I will definitely go back! Mo, do you want to go back to Chang'an with me? The merchant agreed excitedly and turned to look at Li Mo.
Li Mo looked at Shang Shang with some hesitation. It stands to reason that the elder brother of the merchant is married, so he should also go to drink a wedding wine, but he has filial piety, so it is really inconvenient to go to such a festive occasion.
Although he did not accept the emperor's request to return to the sect, in his heart, he had already forgiven the old man who had passed away, and the matter of keeping filial piety for him for three years had become a very serious matter in Li Mo's heart. Under such circumstances, his mood was really not suitable for joining in the fun.
"There you go! After being here with me for a year, it's time to get bored, and go to Chang'an to play for a while! There's no need to rush back. Although it could be seen that the merchant hoped that he could accompany her back, Li Mo still said his plan softly.
"Brother! What day is your day set? Shang Shang looked at Li Mo, a little unbearable to throw him down, turned to Su Minzhi and asked.
In this year in Jiuzhi Mountain, the two of them rose and sunset together, although they did not share the same bed, but this year's relationship made the hearts of the two closer, and the businessmen could completely understand Li Mo's mood.
Everything he is doing now is doing his duty as a son, and he wants to pay off all the responsibilities that he has not fulfilled in the past 20 years, so that he can truly let go of the past and truly embark on the road to the future.
"On the twenty-eighth of this month, the brother of the green sleeves is already ready, and there is nothing for you to do, you just need to be your sister-in-law happily on that day, and you will have your benefits!" Su Minzhi took a sip of tea with a smile, looked at the merchant's expression in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"Lan Xin, brother has something to tell you." Su Minzhi put down the teacup and suddenly remembered the person he met before going out.
"What's the matter?" The merchant was counting the days with his head down, and when he heard Su Minzhi's opening, he hurriedly raised his head and said.
"Before I went out, the abbot master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace sent someone to bring a message, and I want to invite you back to Chang'an." Su Minzhi said this with doubts.
Before he went out, Xuanzang, the abbot master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, suddenly sent a little novice with a message, although the words were simple, but he was a little inexplicable. Why didn't he know when his sister-in-law became so familiar with the abbot master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace? Master Xuanzang would deliberately ask him to bring a message to invite her back to Chang'an?
"Master Xuanzang?" The merchant raised his eyebrows. She hasn't been in Chang'an for a year, what will Master Xuanzang have to find her?
When she first took the layman's sign, she had already stated that her ability was limited and she would not be able to help him anything, but why did the old monk suddenly bring a letter to her at this time?
"Did he say what it was?" The merchant asked.
"This ...... The master didn't say anything, only said that there are some things to tell you in person, and I hope you must go back to Chang'an in the near future. Su Minzhi put down the teacup, and that's all he knew about the master's request.
Master Xuanzang's name can be said to be well-known in Chang'an, if he has something to find his sister-in-law, it must not be a bad thing, but the strangeness of this is probably only known to his sister-in-law.
"So?" The merchant's brow furrowed even tighter.
It seems that his plan has come to naught, and he originally wanted to rush back to accompany Li Mo as soon as possible after attending his brother's wedding, but now it seems that he is afraid that it will not work, no matter what Master Xuanzang is looking for him, but as long as he will open his mouth to find her, then things will inevitably not be simple.
Now I can only hope that this master is on a whim, and there is something to discuss with her about the future, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be something that can be solved in a day or two.
"Go ahead! I don't have anything to do here on weekdays, so you can come back early when you're done! Li Mo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he looked at the businessman's hesitation.
At all times, the merchant always put him first, and this kind of attention was something he had never felt before, which filled his heart with heartfelt joy. There is finally a person in this world who belongs to him, and he belongs to this person!
"Hmmm! I'll be back as soon as it's done! Shang Shang looked at Li Mo's smiling face seriously, and made sure that he was not falling into self-suffering, so he nodded reassuringly.
Su Minzhi watched the interaction between the two, and somehow remembered the green sleeves who were far away in Chang'an.
I wonder if I'm like this when I'm with Green Sleeves? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but smile and shake my head. If it's really like these two people, no one else is around, and everyone else is completely left aside, just afraid that others will laugh at it!
