0015 Ninchiin Palm Straight
Li Tong received Li Guangshun in a pavilion that had been cleaned, and of course Li Shouli, who had been with him since just now.
The three brothers sat side by side, and Li Tong looked at Li Guangshun without a trace. To be honest, Li Tong is still a little wary and alienated from the two people around him who are brothers.
He is not Li Shouli's completely scheming, seven-emotional character, and he will always have more or less reservations in the face of strangers. At this point, even if he accepted the memory of the young Li Shouyi, it wouldn't help him much, if he wanted to get acquainted with it, it would definitely take some time for him to get along with his family.
The three brothers sat side by side in the pavilion, and Li Guangshun sat a little farther away, about a few dozen centimeters away from Li Tong, unlike Li Shouli, who sat next to Li Tong and could even feel the whirring moisture in the back of his head. This is a sensitive and slightly autistic person, even in daily contact with his brothers, he still subconsciously distances himself.
Li Tong was not surprised by Li Guangshun's performance, in his opinion, this is the caution that Li Xian's sons should have, and as for Li Shouli, it is purely an outlier.
Li Guangshun was also looking at the third brother, although in his eyes, this young brother was no different from the past except that he was a little haggard and thin. But the feeling for him was completely different from before, as if he was a different person. What exactly has changed, but he can't say.
Li Shouli was still bowing his head and pondering what Li Tong said just now, and he was not in a hurry to speak, because the atmosphere in the pavilion was slightly awkward for a while.
Li Tong first raised his hand to summon the palace maid to order tea to entertain guests, but was told that there was no tea in the courtyard. Li Tong just realized that it was the early Tang Dynasty, and it would not be until the Tang Dynasty when tea really became popular in the world, and there were still decades of brewing and spreading in between.
"It's just that the brothers sit idly, and they don't need drinks and snacks."
Li Guangshun raised his hand and said, speaking a little hurriedly, but showing a little cautiousness.
Seeing this, Li Tong didn't give any more instructions, waved his hand to retreat from the palace, and chatted with Li Guangshun casually, the topic was nothing more than Fang's injury, as well as the new living environment of Renzhiyuan.
After chatting with Li Tong for a few words, Li Guangshun couldn't help but look at him carefully, and said in surprise: "San Lang's words are really different from the past. β
When Li Shouli heard this, he patted his eyebrows and said, "Right? Sure enough, Brother also felt that Sunnu was different, do you know why? I'll tell ......"
At this point, Li Shouli's tone stopped abruptly, glanced at Li Tong, and then waved his hand and said: "That's it, for some reason, the mother doesn't allow me to ask more, and Xunnu doesn't allow me to say more." You can't say it, you can't say it, brother, don't ask again! β
As he spoke, he covered his mouth with one hand and stroked his chest with the other, and swallowed the words that seemed to rush to his lips again. Li Tong saw this appearance in his eyes, and he really didn't have any confidence in whether he could always keep secrets, and he was afraid that just swallowing words would kill this kid.
Li Guangshun originally listened with interest, but when he heard Li Shouli say this, his eyes flashed a little dim, and he really didn't ask anymore, but even Li Tong could feel the loss between his eyebrows.
"The second brother is used to boasting, what ...... there"
"That's it, since the mother told me, I won't ask more."
Li Guangshun waved his hand, and then lowered his head. This time, even the arrogant Li Shouli sensed that his mood was not right: "In short, brother, remember, this is not a bad thing. Sunnu heγHe's ...... Alas, in the future, I will listen to the instructions of the Sunnu, brother, you have to treat him too, hey, be respectful. β
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Li Tong again, which was quite flattering, and seemed to really regard this young brother as the embodiment of his deceased father.
Li Guangshun hung his head and was silent, and after a while, he stopped talking, and after thinking for a while, he said again: "Do you remember Zhu Niang?" Earlier, we were in prison, and she was also led away by the palace people, but, it's just that everyone has come back, but I don't see her, I don't know where to look for ......"
After Li Tong heard this, he searched for the memory of the young Li Shouli, and Li Shouli next to him had already spoken: "Yes, I was still thinking about inviting Zhu Niang to eat steamed cakes when I entered here in the morning, why didn't I see her?" β
With Li Shouli's reminder, Li Tong remembered. The memories left by the young Li Shouyi are mixed and confusing, but fortunately, he is not very old and has little experience, and there are not many personnel that can be recorded and left for Li Tong to accept, but he is not tidy up.
Li Guangshun said that Zhu Niang is his personal maid, who has a very ingenious cooking skills, and also undertook part of the family's diet earlier, which is the impression of the young Li Shouyi on his people.
Li Guangshun's expression was gloomy and worried: "I asked several palace officials before, but they all said that they didn't know. The lady was just an ordinary miscellaneous servant, or someone had left her somewhere. I, I want to ask you to go with me to see Niangniang, and ask Niangniang to tell the palace officials of the Zhiyuan to find her. β
Li Tong saw that Li Guangshun's attitude was sincere and cautious, but the sorrow between his eyebrows was very strong, and it was obvious that this maid who was just a wonderful chef for him and Li Shouli had extraordinary significance to Li Guangshun. However, just looking for a lost maid is not a big deal, why did Li Guangshun ask the two of them to go to Fang Shi together?
The memories left in his mind failed to solve Li Tong's confusion, and the original teenager Li Shouyi seemed to be a little dull about the personnel entanglements in the family.
"It's not a big deal, so why bother the mother. It's boring right now, so let's go to the palace official and ask. β
Li Tong stood up as he spoke, not only for this matter, but also to see what kind of person the female official who was in charge of the affairs of the Renzhi Academy.
Li Shouli had nothing to do, and when he heard the words, he also stood up. Li Guangshun was embarrassed to say that he had just touched a soft nail in the courtyard, he and Li Shouli were simply two extremes, delicate and sensitive, even in front of his two brothers, he couldn't let go of his words and deeds.
Listening to Zheng Jin's chatter before, Li Tong already has an understanding of family personnel. In the old years, when his father Li Xian lived in the East Palace, His Royal Highness was also popular, but then he was abolished and imprisoned, and the servants were mostly dismissed, and Chang'an was imprisoned for a few years and was assigned to Bazhou, and soon after settling in Bazhou, Li Xian was forced to commit suicide, and then the remnants of the family were escorted back to Luoyang, and there are very few old people in the East Palace who still exist today.
Concubine Fang still has two female histories who served in the East Palace in the old years, and then Li Shouli's biological mother Zhang Liangyuan and Li Tong's nurse Zheng Jin, Li Guangshun said that Zhu Niang is counted as one, and there are two people who serve around Li Youniang, the little sister who has not yet met. In addition, there were still seven servants and eunuchs who had been paid in Bazhou in the old years, and they were only used as rough laborers, and there was probably no place to settle them, so they were retained.
At present, the nearly 100 palace maids and eunuchs who are busy in Renzhi Yuan are not old people, but arranged by the forbidden. Speaking of which, these palace people did not obey the orders of Li Tong's family, and they had their own female officials in charge of management.
The palace also has an official rank structure comparable to the outer court, and the emperor's concubines belong to the inner women, and they also have the authority to be in charge of palace affairs. But at the moment, even Emperor Li Dan can only live in seclusion, and his concubines are naturally just imaginary. At present, those who are in charge of palace affairs are mainly the female officials of the Liushang and Twenty-four Divisions.
These female officials are mainly responsible for palace affairs, and they belong to a different system from the female officials of Shangyang Palace, such as Shangguan Wan'er. The female officials of Shangyang Palace were not customized, but they were just a team of the heroine Wu Zetian's government, similar to the provincial officials of the emperor's secretary.
Renzhiin is located at the left rear of the house, with a hall as a hall and two rows of corridors, one side of the warehouse and the other side of the house.
Li Tong's face sank slightly when he entered the hall, because he found that the furnishings of this straight hall were much more elaborate than his hall.
The large screens on both sides are placed on the hall, the screen of colored yarn and fine silk, the carved sandalwood wood as the skeleton, and the wooden frame is also scattered and dotted with some brilliant pearls. Two simple incense burners are placed in the inconspicuous place in the hall, and the cigarette smoke is steaming, and the room is full of fragrance. There are also some delicate and beautiful small ornaments, which decorate the hall quite luxuriously, far from the plain of their own room, and even the Fang's House is far behind.
Of course, for Li Tong, who is still trying to integrate into this era, these are small details that don't need to be taken care of at the moment. But what he cares about is that the family has just moved to Renzhiyuan, and the hall of the female official in charge is far more stylish than their house, which shows that the female official in charge does not put their family in their eyes, and even this contempt is not concealed at all, just put it out so clearly!
When he saw the appearance of the female official sitting in the main hall, Li Tong's eyes were cold again. Not long after he came to this world, he didn't see many people, and this female official happened to be the female official named Xu Dian who chased his mother Fang in the back corridor of the five halls yesterday.
Seeing the three kings entering in parallel, Xu Shi, the female official in charge, was also a little surprised and cramped for a while, but soon her demeanor returned to normal, got up and stepped forward slowly, bowed her head and said: "The courtyard has been abandoned for a long time, the concubine is in Zhizhong, in order not to neglect the nobles, the rectification is busy, and there is no time to worship the king, etc., I hope the three kings will forgive me for the rudeness." I don't know if the king can be disciplined? β
"You don't have to be polite, we came with my eldest brother to ask, I have a maid in my house, and I haven't been admitted to the hospital yet. You come to check, is it impossible to find the palace people who led the way? β
Li Shouli's eyes were not good, and he didn't notice that the two brothers next to him looked a little unnatural, he paced the hall, and soon saw a backgammon set on the table. As they entered, the woman was wiping the chess equipment before she had time to put it away.
Seeing that he was happy, he walked up and touched the delicate chess set and said, "I used to have a pair of ivory chess sets, but unfortunately I can't find them in the relocated house for a long time." You can do it now, my brother and I will temporarily borrow your chess game to play a game, be faster, and my mother will look for me later, but I don't have time to wait for you. β
As he spoke, he had already sat down, patted the dust-wiped chessboard with his hand, and beckoned the two brothers to sit down for a game, not knowing that the straight-handed female official had been so angry that her body trembled.
