21. Mandarin duck ground red sleeves add fragrance

One day, Li Moxin was taking a lunch break when Meng Ge came in and woke her up, saying that someone was looking for her outside. Her heart jumped, and she rushed out before she had time to put on her shoes, but when she saw a purple official uniform, she was both happy and lost, glad that the person who came was not Ye Zhen, and the loss was not Ye Zhen.

When the old man saw Li Moxin, he first saluted, and then said, Ye Zhen asked him to bring a message, saying that he was married to the princess, and he was the grandson of Zhu Xiangguo.

When Li Moxin heard this, she suddenly felt a lot of emotion in her heart, when she died, Ye Chun was still in infancy, and now she is going to get married.

Meng Po smiled and asked the old man, "Does Ye Zhen have another concubine?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "No, a person as affectionate as the emperor of my dynasty is very rare in the world. ”

Li Moxin heard the look of honor on his face, pretended to straighten his sleeves and pretended not to care, and then asked: "I don't know the name and surname of Mr. yet, thank you here first." ”

The old man smiled, "The name is already a matter of the previous life, and it is useless for the mother to ask." ”

"What if we can meet again in the next life?" Li Mo smiled, "Although there are many patriotic officials, there are few who can pass on the message to Ye Zhen. ”

The old man smiled and said too, "The minister's surname is Li Mingxuan, and he was from Qingping before his death. ”

When Li Moxin heard this name, he felt a little familiar again, and turned to look at Meng Po, who asked with some uncertainty: "Who are you Li March?" ”

Hearing this, the old man named Li Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, stood up and looked at Meng Po with some joy and said, "Mother-in-law has seen her sister? ”

"I just went to reincarnate a few days ago."

"Just going?" Li Xuan was a little surprised, "Why did she reincarnate after her death for many years?" ”

"When she passed away, her yang life was not over, and she couldn't return her yang, so she delayed all these years." Li Moxin explained, looked at him with interest and asked, "I want to ask you, what happened to the son of the Zhang Jin family?" ”

"Zhang Yi?" He frowned slightly, a little surprised why Li Moxin asked like this, "Yue'er left a suicide note when she left, asking me to take good care of him, but he hated that my family had killed Zhang Jin, and resolutely cut off contact with my family. Later, he was picked up by his uncle in his clan, and he was also admitted to the fame, and now he is the official to the left capital of the imperial history. ”

Li Moxin nodded, "It can be regarded as inheriting Zhang Jin's last wish." ”

Li Xuan smiled and said with emotion: "Even so, fame and fortune are just a flashiness, and life does not bring death without it, which is very interesting." ”

"But your fame is stained with the blood of your mother, your sister, and even Zhang Jin." Meng Po looked at him sharply and said, "It's not interesting to say such ungrateful words." ”

Hearing this, Li Xuan's face couldn't help but darken, and he sighed and said with a wry smile: "These words have pressed me all my life, I originally thought that I would be liberated when I died, but I never thought that I would be blamed by the bridge." He raised his eyes and looked at Meng Po, "But how can this human affairs be explained clearly in one or two sentences?" ”

Li Moxin heard the helplessness in these words, frowned and asked, "Zhang Yi attacked you with this matter in the court?" ”

He shook his head, "He's a gentleman like his father, but no one else is. ”

"Who?"

"Rao Chengwen."

"Is it the husband your mother found for your sister?" Meng Po frowned and asked.

He took a deep breath, although he didn't want to admit it, he nodded, "Actually, it's no wonder that he's just cowardly." ”

……

The sudden death of his mother and sister gave Li Xuan a big blow, and because of too much blood on this fame, he studied hard every day, and finally passed the examination in the third year after his mother and sister left.

Father Li originally just wanted his son to take the test, but as for how far he could get in, he didn't have much hope. And because he didn't take the exam in the second year, his mourning period passed again, so he asked him to marry. He had no objection to this, and in May of the following year, when the pomegranate flowers were about to burn, Miss Qi was welcomed into the house.

The young lady of the Qi family is named Chu Yu, and her appearance is average, but she is a good housekeeper, and as soon as she entered the Li family, she treated the second aunt who was aggressive everywhere. Father Li felt that he owed his son, but he also turned a blind eye, and in just half a year, Qi Chuyu became the majority of the Li family.

With his wife's worries, Li Xuan has more time to read books, even if the second aunt and eldest brother occasionally act as demons, they never dare to be presumptuous, and their lives are quite peaceful.

That day and night, he was reading in the study, and Qi Chuyu came in with a bowl of ginseng soup, saying that it was cold and asked him to pay attention to keeping warm. He carried the soup and said with a smile: "For the husband, this is not only to add fragrance to the red sleeves, but also to the ginseng soup." ”

Qi Chuyu looked at him, frowning a little incomprehensibly, "Red sleeves add fragrance? ”

Hearing this, Li Xuan held the ginseng soup hand and hesitated unconsciously for a moment, "The ancients called having a beautiful woman when reading is called red sleeves and fragrance. ”

"Is the husband saying that the concubine is a beauty?" Qi Chuyu stood up and looked at Li Xuan with a look of surprise.

Li Xuan smiled, "Yes, you not only added incense, but also added ginseng soup to your husband." ”

Her face was suddenly stained with a flush, and she covered her lips and smiled: "Husband, don't coax me." ”

"How could it be coaxing you?" He opened the book with a smile and said without raising his head, "It's late at night, you go back to rest first, and I'll go back." ”

Seeing this, Qi Chuyu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and stepped forward to take the book in front of him away, "Say I'm a beauty, but you don't look at me, what are you not coaxing me?" ”

He frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "Spring is coming, you should focus on your studies, and return the book to me quickly." ”

"If you can be admitted, you don't care about this overnight, I think you obviously don't care about me." Qi Chuyu looked at him with some annoyance.

"Nonsense!" He looked at her with a look of anger on his face, "Give me back the book." ”

"Books and books, only books. What if you really get in? Could it be that you can still stay in the capital? It's your creation to be a county order, and if you're at home, it's better to take care of your business at home. ”

Li Xuan looked at her, felt a little unreasonable, got up and took out another book from the shelf, and looked at it to himself. Qi Chuyu was so angry that he lifted the ink on the table and splashed it on his book.

"You—" He couldn't take it anymore, slapped the book on the table, got up and brushed his sleeves away.

This is the first time since the newlywed that the husband and wife have fallen out of harmony. Qi Chuyu thought it was just a small contradiction, but he never thought that on the second day, Li Xuan sent someone to pack his luggage and go to Beijing. Qi Chuyu was furious when he heard this, left a bunch of things at home, and went back to his parents' house first.

Let's say that Li Xuan, just out of Qingping, encountered heavy rain for days, finally waited for the rain to stop on the road, and was hit by heavy rain in the middle of the journey, and had to stay in a broken temple in the mountains.

The servant and the coachman went to the temple to find some dry firewood to make a fire, and Li Xuan took out the wet books one by one to dry, then suddenly heard a noise at the door, raised his eyes and looked, and saw a group of people dressed as family members hurriedly ran in, and saw the fire of Li Xuan and others, a housekeeper-like person first hugged his fists and said anxiously: "The princess is invited, my girl is seriously ill, and she is allowed to rest in the princess's place." ”

Before Li Xuan could agree, he saw a strong man hurriedly walking in with a woman in his arms and putting her on the carpet laid by the maid.

At this time, the housekeeper said: "Please also ask the prime minister to avoid it first, and immediately send someone to make a fire for you." As he spoke, he hurriedly instructed a few of his family members to find dry wood to make a fire.

Li Xuan didn't have time to speak the whole time, but when he saw that the woman seemed to be very sick, and the housekeeper was courteous for a few weeks, he didn't care, and bowed back to the housekeeper, "It's okay." ”

After a while, several other fires were lit in the side hall, but the side hall was seriously damaged, and it was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly inside the house, so everyone had to hold umbrellas. In such a situation, it was difficult for Li Xuan to read the book, so he talked to that group of people. learned that they were the servants of the household Shangshu Tong Jinnan, and escorted his wife's coffin back to his hometown for burial. also unexpectedly learned that Tong Shangshu was also from Qingping, and she was an only daughter, so she had to be asked to follow the coffin back to her hometown.

At this time, the maid who took care of the girl hurriedly ran in and said that the girl was in a high fever and would not back down, so that the housekeeper could find a way.

When the housekeeper heard this, he was panicked and anxious, but there was no store in front of the village here, and it was raining heavily, where to get medicine?

Seeing that they had no other way, Li Xuan said to the housekeeper: "If you have wine, you can use some to wipe your body first." ”

"Hey, where am I going to find wine at this time?" The housekeeper looked sad and turned to look at Li Xuan, "Does Xianggong have it?" ”

Li Xuan had no choice but to ask the coachman to bring the wine, hand it to the maid, and tell her where she should rub half of the warm water on her body.

The rain outside the window was falling sleeplessly, accompanied by terrifying thunder, which made people sleepless. In the side hall, the rain leakage is getting more serious. Li Xuan read his book in his heart, and wanted to go to the main hall to have a look, but he didn't dare to enter at will because of his identity. At this time, a lightning bolt fell in the courtyard, cutting off an old locust tree in the courtyard and blocking the gate of the temple.

He lifted the blanket that covered him and got up, added a few more pieces of wood to the fire, and went outside the door to see the rain, and heard a few coughs coming from the main hall, and a woman whispering softly. He glanced inside, and saw a girl come out of the house.

The girl was startled when she saw him, and blessed herself again, and took a towel and walked to the broken jar under the eaves. He thought for a moment before asking, "Is Miss Zun awake?" ”

The girl glanced at him, picked up the towel and got up, frowned and said, "I woke up coughing just now, and now I'm asleep again." ”

"Can the fever go down?"

"It's a little back, but it's still a little hot." After that, he looked at the pouring rain, frowned and sighed, "I don't know when this rain will stop." With that, he turned around and went into the house.

Li Xuan wanted to ask about his book, but it was inappropriate to think that it was inappropriate, so he gave up and went back to the house.

The rain still did not stop, and Li Xuan leaned against the pillar, unintentionally sleeping. After listening to the sound of rain all night, it was vaguely accompanied by a few coughs.
