Chapter 201: A Year Later

"Grandma, where's the little sister?" Li Rui opened the curtain and entered the house, his little sister was still in the cloud holding courtyard in the morning, and she couldn't see it when she came back in the afternoon.

At this time, he was already sixteen years old, his hair had already changed from a childish bun to a single bun, and his figure was even longer, and he had surpassed Li Mao, the Duke of Xinguo, and became the tallest man in the house.

When Li Rui came in, Gu Qing was sitting in a wheelchair sent by Old Man Qiu's house and chatting with Mama Hua.

Since her fall last year, her left leg can no longer move, her left hand can't bend and stretch at will, she is half paralyzed, and she can't even speak very well.

Fortunately, she was born in a rich family, if she was in a poor family, and she had a stroke like this, she would not have a good life.

It is now the end of spring, the weather has warmed up, Li Rui, who was wearing a tooth-colored regular clothes, walked a long way, although his clothes were thin, but his nose was still a little sweaty, as soon as he arrived at the main room, he found a chair and sat down, reached out and picked up the tea on the table and drank a cup.

"That's my cup!"

Gu Qing looked speechlessly at his grandson, who had grown up, and was still as disapprehensive as he was when he was a child, and his heart was simply speechless.

She meows, this grandson is not particular!

Li Rui raised his eyebrows, and his expression seemed to ask, "Is there anything you can't do?" Gu Qing only protested slightly, and then didn't say anything more.

How can you make a little kid who has been in his grandmother's room casually since he was twelve years old suddenly start paying attention to the difference between men and women?

She didn't feel awkward herself, how could she make Li Rui feel "Ah, although this is your grandmother, she is also a woman"?

Gu Qing began to gradually mind this, because this child became more and more like an adult day by day.

Li Rui became more and more arrogant and lonely in the palace, not as arrogant and cute as he was when he was a child. Maybe it's because he has experienced too many things in the past year, and he is getting more and more like an adult.

Li Meng was a rare beautiful man when he was alive, and it was the kind that conformed to the aesthetics of the times, Li Rui's facial features were inherited from his father, and he was naturally indescribably handsome, his facial features were not angular, but because of the pair of heroic sword eyebrows inherited from his grandfather, the whole person's temperament became tough.

Gu Qing is now afraid that Li Rui will enter the house.

There are always few men in the house, Li Mao is busy every day, coming and going in a hurry, Fang's family is not worried about her husband's cheating at all, the girls in Jinxiu Courtyard have married one by one, from maids to maids, and from ladies to aunts. If you don't get married, you can't do it, their old man's eyes are too straight, and ordinary people can't see it.

Gu Qing, Yanyun and Qiyun, are both married, Yanyun is married to Mr. Jiang, and now she is learning to be a housekeeper behind Grandma Sun, and when she finishes learning, she will go back to her. Qi Yun married the son of the chief steward, and Gu Qing was embarrassed to keep her, after she married her husband, she served her in-laws at home, but she came back every once in a while to see Gu Qing.

Now the two new girls Liuyun and Rouyun are only fifteen years old this year, Liuyun is a child of the family, and her parents are on errands in the house, Rouyun is the original second-class girl Yun Rou was promoted, and the first-class girl in Zhiyun Academy is X-cloud, so she changed her name to Rouyun.

These two girls are both young girls of the age of Huaichun, and they have to blush every time they see Li Rui come in. Mama Hua has already talked to Gu Qing two or three times, thinking that the two girls are not stable enough, and it is better to withdraw and change.

Her grandson is so handsome now, Ah No, now that she looks so handsome, even she often shakes her head when she watches it, not to mention this group of little girls?

They have only been replaced for less than half a year, and if they haven't seen it for half a year, then they really have to be replaced.

You can't be stunned for a while when you pour a cup of tea and water, right?

"Kissing impatiently staying in the house, Mama Hua took her to the yard to play."

Gu Qing glanced at her legs sadly, she wanted to take her little granddaughter to play in person, but her little granddaughter has never been idle in the house since she could walk, she ran around when she had nothing to do, and she didn't want to follow it.

The crippled life of more than a year is simply unbearable, and when the ribs were just broken, she was even more half-dead, or she asked someone to call Zhang Xuan, and asked Zhang Xuan's sissy brother Kou Qi to help her make a few rib fixation straps and tie the ribs, otherwise she may not be able to grow well after tossing for more than half a year.

"Is grandma stuffy in the house? Grandchildren push you to walk around the garden? Li Rui immediately sensed Gu Qing's loss sensitively, and wanted to take his grandmother to the garden to shake it out empatheticly.

"Forget it, I sit on this all day long, this wheelchair has no shock absorption, and the road is uneven and can simply turn my old bones upside down." The wheels are all wood, and it is sad to see that there are pits and cracks.

I heard that this wheelchair was still a drawing drawn by a crippled son of the old Jin Guogong, and asked the master of the organ to make it, Old Man Qiu. Old Man Qiu's own legs were crushed in an experimental siege machine, and he was shocked to see this improved wheelchair, and immediately made the wheelchair according to the drawings.

Qiu Jing and Li Rui are classmates, when Gu Qing had a stroke for the first time, Qiu Jing once said that if Mrs. Qiu's legs and feet were not good, he would ask his family to send a good wheelchair over.

After Gu Qing's ribs were healed, but his legs were not good, Li Rui unceremoniously went to Qiu Jing to ask for a wheelchair, which is why Gu Qing is sitting now.

Li Rui thought about it and came up with another idea.

"Otherwise, your grandson will carry you to the garden to hang out?" He has a lot of strength, and carrying his grandmother behind his back is not as hard as when he usually practiced martial arts. "If it's uncomfortable to carry on your back, your grandson can hug you."

His grandmother's left hand and left foot can't carry the strength, so maybe it's safer to hold it than to carry it?

"What? What the? Gu Qing was dumbfounded, she understood every word of what Li Rui said, but she didn't understand a single word.

What back? What to hold?

"Huh? No, no, no, I'm so good in the house, so good! Oh, my God! Rui'er, you let me down! ”

Gu Qing watched her grandson walk to the wheelchair, knelt down on one knee handsomely, and hugged her sideways.

It's as easy as hugging a quilt.

Gu Qing was overwhelmed with shame, feeling that her cerebral blood vessels were about to burst.

A room full of girls and mothers-in-law couldn't help but cover their mouths with handkerchiefs and snicker, mainly because the scene of an old lady with a wrinkled face being held in the arms of a young man was too weird, making them feel both weird and envious.

If the eldest prince is not holding the old lady in his arms, but her......

Oops, what a shame, what are you thinking!

Li Rui easily carried his grandmother out of the yard and went to the Carving Bow Tower to find his little sister. Xiangyun and Qiyun pushed Old Lady Qiu's empty wheelchair to the side, and when the old lady arrived at the place, Li Rui still had to put her grandmother down.

Gu Qing's discomfort only lasted for a while, and then he adjusted.

'I'm a sick now, a sick man! This is my grandson, grandson! ’

She couldn't understand how women who fell in love with them after raising little boys adapted, anyway, she felt a deep sense of shame even if she was held by her own grandson, and always felt that she had taken advantage of her granddaughter-in-law.

The main thing is......

My mother, a few princess hugs in my life, all of them were hugged by my grandson in the case of a bad old woman, will it leave a psychological shadow in the future?

"How's the war going up in the north now?"

There is no scenery to see on this road, and after watching it for so many years, I have become accustomed to it. She rarely goes out now, so she can only ask her grandson about the situation outside.

Li Rui's footsteps paused, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Most of Youzhou has fallen into the hands of the remnants of the Yin Dynasty, and now the old general Qin is holding on to Fanyang City with the Dingbei Army, Fanyang City is a high crowd, and Yanzhou is a backup, so there should be no big problem. This group of remnants relied on plundering to feed the war, and if they could not attack for a long time, the material supplies could not keep up, and they would be scattered. ”

Li Rui's conclusion is the conclusion of most people now, and it is also the hope of the DPRK and China.

Youzhou broke so quickly, it was beyond everyone's imagination. The soldiers and horses who defected were also the elite of the Dingbei army, and they had been training in the north for a long time, and they were familiar with the defense of the border passes.

At present, it has been clear that the remnants of the Yin Dynasty and the King of Qiyang have joined forces, and among the rebels in the north, the Hu people account for seventy percent, and thirty percent are these remnants. Now that the vast territory of Youzhou has been fully entered into their hands, the ten divisions of Hanhai are becoming more and more powerful as they fight, just like a killing star descending into the world.

The Han people in the north fled south one after another, and now Fenzhou, Yanzhou, and Tongzhou have absorbed countless victims, and the emperor has spent a lot of effort to resettle these victims.

Li Rui and Qin Bin are now attending classes in the palace, and the current affairs class is talking about this war. Li Rui and Qin Bin have military generals in the palace to take classes, Li Rui made the sand table in Youzhou with the help of the superintendent, and Qin Bin and Qin Bin used the small soldiers and generals to deduce if they had nothing to do, but no matter how many times they deduced, the situation was not very good.

Youzhou is a horse and a flat river, which is the most suitable for cavalry combat, and Da Chu will either keep it like this and go out to recover the old land, otherwise if it fights, unless there are heavy armored riders like Xihu, it will be dragged down by the foreign rangers sooner or later.

If it's just a ranger, it's actually not that tricky, the problem is the tens of thousands of elites that Yin Chao and King Qiyang fell. Among these elites were heavy cavalry, crossbowmen and infantry. The light cavalry of the Hu people was responsible for harassing, dividing, and acting as bait. And the cavalry of the King of Qiyang waited for an opportunity to tear the front apart. Most of the infantry of the remnants of the Yin Dynasty were crossbowmen, who were able to suppress the soldiers of the Great Chu and shoot the formation.

At the beginning of the war, the Chu army also won several victories, and when the rangers of the ten divisions of Hanhai cut off the connection between the cities, and there were traitors in it, the defeat of Youzhou spread like a wildfire, and only the two cities of Fanyang and Pinglu in Youzhou were left at the end of the day, and they were struggling to support each other.

Qin Bin's grandfather guarded Fan Yang, the largest key in the north, in Youzhou, because Qin Bin was most concerned about the war around Fanyang. Li Rui grew up watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he was more interested in the overall situation.

The eldest prince Chu Chengxuan brought the war report and the palace report from the north every few days, and several people discussed the war together, as if it was a very small court. After Chu Rui learned about Li Rui's sand table and what the children had done, he simply sent the battle report to Shangyang Hall as soon as possible, and also sent famous generals to open a small stove for them, so that they could figure out the situation faster.

Gu Qing listened to Li Rui's words, and a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart.

"If so...... What if Fan Yang is broken? ”

Fan Yang, this name sounds so familiar.

Yes, the place where the Anshi Rebellion began seems to be Fan Yang. In that year, An Lushan raised troops in Fanyang, and in a very short period of time, he captured a large territory in the north and directly broke the eastern capital Luoyang.

If Fan Yang is broken......

Can such a small Yanzhou be kept?

"It's not that easy, Fanyang is an important town, and many families in Youzhou live in Fanyang. These clans want money and food, and there are many hidden families in the family. More than 100,000 people in the Dingbei army are in Fanyang City, the supply of the imperial court is endless, and the war is not able to fight well, most of the thieves are cavalry, the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, there was an internal response before, and the Dingbei army itself has mutinied several times, and it is impossible to prevent it. Fan Yang was personally led by the old general Qin to guard the troops, and there were many clans to help him, so he had no worries about this. ”

Li Rui saw that his grandmother was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but shake his head and quip:

"Grandma, when your grandfather was there, did you pester him like this to tell you about the war?"

From the fact that my grandmother can recite the Romance of the Three Kingdoms backwards, I know that this old grandmother of his family likes to listen to these wars.

"Uh......" Gu Qing was stuck.

This...... This involves husband and wife*, maybe it's the love of the two, so she won't turn over other people's memories, right?

"Yes." She could only answer ambiguously like this.

Although Li Rui kept talking to Gu Qing about what he had seen outside, he didn't stop walking, and he arrived at the bottom of the carved bow tower after a while.

The carved bow tower was where his grandfather stayed for a long time, and it contained his grandfather's study and various weapons that he had used. Places such as "Talking Room" and "Wenyuan" are all in the carved bow building.

After his grandfather went, although there was no master in the carved bow building, the family did not dare to slack off, and they were diligent in cleaning every day.

When he moved into the North Garden, he learned Chinese and calligraphy with his grandmother in the Carved Bow Building.

But now, the carved bow tower has attracted a small guest.

This person is Li Mei, who is just one year old and eight months old.

After Gu Qing suffered a stroke and couldn't move the left side of his body freely, his whole person became extremely decadent.

This is also normal, anyone who watches themselves become the living dead little by little, will not be happy. What's more, Gu Qing has only been here for four years, and she has used her body for more than 20 years, and she was told at first glance that she was too old to take care of herself, and she must not die for the future of the whole family, and her emotions will not be high.

Later, Li Mao discussed with the Fang family, so he gritted his teeth and sent Xiao Li Mei to Gu Qing's room to raise. Fang's heart was reluctant to give up a thousand or ten thousand, but for the old lady to be happy, he could only hold back a smile and personally pack up his things and send his daughter over.

After even Li Ming entered the Guozijian, Gu Qing's loneliness can be imagined, and the arrival of Xiao Li Mei did add a lot of laughter to Zhiyun Academy.

Especially after Li Mei was one year old, he began to have a sense of self-thinking, and since then, all the people who are serving him have a nightmare.

She is in good spirits, every day at dawn she has to be carried out by the next person to wander around, and she will not be bored when she comes back in a circle in her mother's room, otherwise this little girl will cry that is really amazing, and often cry to the most and vomit after the mess, everyone in order not to choke her, can only follow her will.

At this point, even Gu Qing couldn't do anything.

Some children's esophagus is naturally prone to vomiting, commonly known as "shallow throat", and this situation can only get better when they grow up. Until the esophagus becomes healthy, it can only be carefully served.

At this time, the food has to choke into the trachea, which is fatal!

So sometimes it's windy and rainy, but you can still see the mother-in-law of the family walking around the garden with an umbrella and a child, and it must be the little lady of the Xinguo Mansion who is "walking" outside.

The degree of suffering of these people who are serving them is really tearful for those who hear it, and sad for those who see it.

Compared with Li Mei, Li Rui and Li Ming, the two little masters, were as docile as little white rabbits when they were young!

Li Rui carried his grandmother into the Carved Bow Tower, and the subordinates who were in charge of serving Li Mei in the Carved Bow Tower immediately greeted him.

Xiangyun and Yanyun carried the wheelchair into the building and waited for Gu Qing to sit down.

Gu Qing sat in the wheelchair, and both grandparents and grandchildren let out relaxed sighs.

Li Rui's heart: Although grandma is as light as a feather (deceitful!) But I'm still tired after holding it for a long time. Next time, I won't be reckless, let's let the next person carry it in a soft sedan car!

Gu Qing's heart: Although the princess hugged her uncle, it turned out that after a long time, the neck of the person being hugged was about to be broken! Never do it again next time! Even if Li Rui wants to brush his favorability, he is willing to let people carry it in a soft sedan chair!

Gu Qing was pushed by his subordinates to walk towards the study inside, because they all heard the bright laughter coming from the study.

But after a while, this clear laughter turned into an exclamation from Mama Hua.

"Miss, that can't be folded!"

Li Rui pushed open the door and looked at the scene in the house, stunned like a wooden chicken.

Gu Qing just stretched out his head, and the black lines also crawled all over his face.

The little Li Mei held a purple hao with the thickness of an index finger in both hands, and smiled extremely happily.

You're right, hold one in both hands.

The pen had been broken from it.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Li Mei (heart): Oh, roar, roar, this can be folded.

Mama Hua: (frightened) Miss don't!

Click!

Li Mei: Oh, roar, roar, this can be fallen.

Mama Hua: No, that's Fang Mingyan!

Bang dang!

Li Rui: ...... My sister is very talented, this ...... How good is that?
