Chapter 22: Picking a Gift
In order to prevent being intercepted and killed by the people sent by Jieli, Li Mohan suggested that Ashina Yun and others pretend to be business travelers, and then collect the people sent by the Tuli Khan along the road.
Seeing that Li Mohan gave her two large carts of gifts, mainly wine, some soap and a few pieces of cotton cloth, Ashina Yun was moved in her heart, and said to Li Mohan jokingly:
"Are these things for me as a dowry?"
There was a black line on Li Mohan's face.
Manggul next to him looked at Li Mohan with a dissatisfied expression, but because of Ashinayun's eyes, he had to tug at the reins of the horse and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that Li Mohan didn't answer, Ashina said faintly:
"Brother Han, can I dance for you? It's my twentieth birthday gift to you. ”
For this parting dance, Ashinayun deliberately changed into a Turkic dress.
hummed the song "Hong Geese" taught to her by Li Mohan in her mouth, and danced in the autumn wind.
Floating like flowing clouds, the body is like a green willow, the face is like a peach blossom, and the sleeves are like a glow.
Li Mohan was dumbfounded.
The brothers in the city were also feasting their eyes.
After the dance, Ashina Yun took off a string of agate necklaces from his neck and handed it to Li Mohan.
"Brother Han, when Yun'er is away, let this necklace guard you instead of me. Don't forget me. ”
Seeing that Ash Nayun was so affectionate to him, how could Li Mohan not be moved. He also took off a jade pendant and handed it to Ashinayun.
"Wait for me on the steppe! I'll go find you! ”
Ash Nayun nodded happily, turned over and got on the horse, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand and clinging it to his chest.
Along the way, he kept looking back, until Li Mohan's figure turned into a small dot, and Ashina Yun stopped looking in the direction of Li Jiazhuang.
She took seven men and two carriages and walked out four miles north. Manggul whistled, and more than 300 Turks lurking in the woods outside the village appeared, and the group escorted Ashina Yun and hurried north.
Li Mohan saw this scene in the telescope and was greatly relieved. There are three hundred people in this way alone, and it seems that there are a lot of people sent by Tuli this time, so that the people of Jieli will not dare to act rashly, and Ashinayun's safety should not be a problem.
The day after Li Lizhen returned to Chang'an, her cousin and her best friend Changsun Ting came to the palace to look for her.
After retiring from the left and right, the two good sisters chatted, and the topic naturally came to Li Mohan and Li Jiazhuang.
"What? You slept on the same couch as him? Listening to Li Liqing's talk about being arranged to be in a room with Li Mohan after being drunk, the eldest Sun Ting screamed and lost her voice, and sat up straight with a conditioned reflex.
"Shh~~ Be quiet!"
"Why didn't Aya tell me about this?" As soon as Changsun Ting spoke, she found that she had said the wrong thing, this kind of thing, it was strange that Changsun Wuji dared to tell her!
"Don't think about it, it's just drunk and lying together, nothing else." Li Lizhen hurriedly said.
"Huh?" Changsun Ting looked at her with a gossipy expression, and she was about to find out.
So, Li Lizhi made her swear that she would never tell this to a third person, so she told her about the rest of the matter.
"Huh? Did you vomit all over the house? ”
"Hahahaha...... Changle, you've learned badly, your mouth is poisonous enough. ”
"Hahahaha... I'm laughing to death, that joke is so funny."
……
"You just talked all night?" Eldest Sun Ting asked unsatisfactorily.
"Hmm," Li Lizhi replied embarrassedly.
"That kid can cook? It's a hundred times better than the imperial kitchen, how is it possible? Didn't you say that the gentleman was far away from cooking? Oh, by the way, what kind of gentleman is he? It's just an invisible prodigal! ”
"Yes, an invisible prodigal!" Li Lizhi echoed against her will.
"Hahaha, congratulations cousin, I got a good brother who is unparalleled in the world, hehe~"
After Changsun Ting finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"You damn girl, how dare you make fun of me? I see that you are moved by spring, do you want me to introduce this good brother to you? Li Li made a gesture to tickle her.
"Sister spare her life! Ting'er didn't dare anymore. The eldest grandson said.
"Hmph, dead girl, I don't know what you're thinking. Do you think that my 'Brother Li' is handsome, rich in the world, hurts people, and can compose, so he wants to marry someone, right? ”
Changsun Ting scolded for a while: Handsome, it hurts, this is what you said, what did I say, I haven't seen it again!
But he said: "What about the rich world? Not yet a businessman, but a. Besides, you also said that he is not even a child, who is my eldest Sun Ting, and he can be worthy of it? ”
Li Li said with a smile: "I know, what about our eldest lady of Zhao Guogongfu, who is not a romantic and talented person who does not marry, who doesn't know the people in the entire Chang'an City, and their ears are calloused." ”
"Sister, you are so bad, you are making fun of Ting'er again!" The eldest grandson Ting did not follow the way.
"I heard that your brother with eyes and no beads gave you a pair of clairvoyants called telescopes? Show me? ”
As soon as Changsun Ting said this, she saw Li Li's pretty face flushed, and said angrily: "Besides, I was begged by my father yesterday, saying that this telescope has a high military use, and it was handed over to the Ministry of Industry to be dismantled and imitated." I hate the stupid pigs of the Ministry of Industry, and they can't be installed anymore after they are dismantled, and they say that they can't be imitated at all! This palace wants my father to cut off the heads of those stupid pigs! ”
Li Li said hatefully.
"Huh? How so? It's time to punish them severely! I ruined my sister's token of your love! Eldest Sun Ting echoed.
Li Lizhi listened to Changsun Ting joking with her again, and her fingers were already stretched out under her armpits.
"What kind of love token, call you nonsense, call you nonsense!"
"Giggles, sister spares her life, Ting'er doesn't dare anymore."
"That's what I just said, I don't believe your mouth anymore. Don't run away! ”
Seeing that the eldest Sun Ting was about to run, Li Lizhen chased after her. The two frolicked together.
And through Li Liqian's description, Changsun Ting became more curious about Li Mohan in her heart.
At the family banquet yesterday, when the eldest grandson Wuji complained about the lack of wine and hummed the song "Hong Yan", she was impressed by Li Mohan, the legendary magical character.
She still remembers the location of her family's fifteen shops.
When that guy comes to Chang'an to open a store, he will definitely go to meet him.
The second daughter made a fuss for a while, and was so tired that she couldn't breathe, and went back to Li Li's bedroom to sit down and rest.
Li Li said with a straight face: "Ting'er, you can help me think about it, what kind of gift should I give him?" Tomorrow is his birthday, and my father and I have to go over to celebrate him. ”
Eldest Sun Ting could only envy in vain in her heart, Eldest Sun Wuji was not as good at talking as Li Shimin, and he would definitely not agree to take her.
His heart was gloomy, and he replied casually:
"You are a princess, there are so many treasures in the palace, just pick one of them is enough for that kid to show his blind eyes."
"Don't say that, how do I feel that compared to his family, this palace is so shabby."
"That's right, didn't you say that he was rich in the world? Ordinary jewelry and jade may not be in his eyes. Forget it, anyway, you are 'brothers', the courtesy is light and affectionate, and the things you give should be meaningful, and you don't care about the high and low. The key is to be able to reflect the friendship between your 'brothers'. "The eldest grandson Ting deliberately said that the 'brother' son was an octave higher.
Li Li was embarrassed and patted her on the shoulder,
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
got up and dragged Changsun Ting into his bedroom.
"Come, help me pick one, yes, it's my daughter's household thing!"
Almost at the same time, Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Li Junxian also chose what they thought was the most suitable gift after some hard thinking and meditation.
At dawn the next day, a few people dressed in disguise set off.
This time, they didn't dare to bring a large army to escort them, but they just let fifty inner court guards accompany them, and they still lurked around and waited.
