Chapter Twenty-Four: Stinky Boy, Where Are You Kicking It?
"My captive, I let it go, what's wrong?"
Li Mohan looked at them puzzled, and said in his heart, Does this have anything to do with you?
Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, this kind of thing, he, a "businessman", came out and said that it was not appropriate.
Over the years, the tacit understanding between the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin has reached the level where they can understand each other's intentions in seconds with a single look.
"Hehehe, virtuous nephew, do you know that there is that princess in Datang as a hostage, and Datang has bargaining chips with the Turks."
"Whew! Is this the enlightenment of you, the prince of the country? Can you have a bit of backbone? Relying on a woman to get something at the negotiating table that you can't get on the battlefield? Jieli's urine, will he care about Tuli's daughter? ”
"This..."
"What's this? What I told you that day, you drank it until you urinated in your stomach, didn't you? I didn't remember it at all! ”
Li Mohan said in his heart, Lao Tzu is about to be angry with you and vomit blood.
"To tell you the truth, not only did the Turki send people to secretly infiltrate Zhuangzi, but the killers sent by Jieli also secretly came here. Yesterday when we sent Ashinayun away, we found more than forty Turkic Assassins outside the village, all of whom we had killed. Do you want to unite Tuli and Jieli more closely? ”
"Then, virtuous nephew, is there a big loss on Zhuangzi? Well, I mean, has the Turks stolen something? "The eldest grandson is uneasy H.
"It's okay, we added a guard, the Turks didn't get into the village! Are you worried about the flow of sweet potatoes and corn into the Turks? Li Mohan didn't save face for him and pierced him.
The eldest grandson Wuji was still very thick-skinned, and pretended to be simple: "That, virtuous nephew, it's time to eat, you see, my uncle is a little hungry, and it's been a long day's journey." ”
"Then take a seat!" Li Mohan commanded.
"Open Table~"
Li Mohan led several of them to the main table and sat down.
Lin Yong, Wang Duo, and Sima Nanzhu, the person in charge of the workshop, were ordered to accompany the main table.
The old housekeeper Wang Zhong didn't want to come to the main table, he beckoned the family to serve the food.
Ten dishes and one soup, banquet standard.
Li Mohan raised his glass, said a toast and words of thanks, brought a glass of wine, and then let the guest and host casually.
Main table.
"Come, let's wish Master Li a happy birthday! Every year there is today, every year there is today! ”
"Thank you for your kindness! Done! Li Mohan drank it all, and then began to beckon everyone to eat.
"The apprentices of this chef school can, the craftsmanship is good! It's time to go out! ”
Lin Yong praised.
Li Mohan was noncommittal.
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others had long been unable to listen to their conversation, their chopsticks flew up and down, and they were not afraid of the high degree of wine, and they toasted each other cup after cup.
Seeing this, Li Mohan said in his heart that this food looks like this, it seems... It's a bit fierce.
Li Li's quality is relatively quiet, and each dish is chewed slowly, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of the last time, but remembering that Li Mohan did not cook it himself, he felt that there was still something missing. I remembered the embarrassment of the last time in my mind, but I didn't dare to drink anymore.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, between the staggered dishes, the dishes on the table have bottomed out.
What Li Mohan didn't know was that Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Junxian, including Lin Yong and Sima Nanzhu, were all from the military, and the amount of food was much larger than that of ordinary people.
"Virtuous nephew, the amount of this dish seems to be a little less, right?" Li Shimin said.
Li Mohan smiled and said:
"There's a birthday cake in a while, and I'm not hungry for you."
"Birthday cake? What's that? Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and a few others were staring at each other, not knowing what it was.
"Blessed are you. This is the first time that the students of the chef school have made it, and it is the only one in the whole Datang. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chunhua Xiayue, Qiuju and Dongmei pushing a huge five-layer cake and walking slowly.
On the top layer are twenty candles that are burning.
"Please make a wish and cut the cake!"
Li Mohan walked to the front of the cake, closed his eyes, silently made a wish, and then blew out the candle.
In the applause of the guests, the top layer of the cake was cut into ten pieces and brought to the main table by Xia Yue. The rest of the cakes were pushed by Chunhua and others and divided one table after another.
Li Mohan picked up a cake, took a bite, and made a gesture of please.
"Everyone, please enjoy it!"
"Wow, this cake is soft and glutinous, sweet and delicious!" Su Ling'er, who was sitting on Li Mohan's right hand, had beautiful eyes flashing.
Li Shimin and the others began to swallow heavily.
Li Lizhi also ate cream sticky to her mouth, looking like a greedy cat.
Su Ling'er quietly asked Li Mohan, "What wish did you just make?" ”
Li Mohan looked at her with a wicked smile,
"It's about you."
"Me?" Su Linger was puzzled.
"I pray to God that I will be able to hold my son this time next year! Isn't that about you, you say? Li Mohan said with a smile.
Su Linger is smart and clever, how can she not know what he means? Pink fist slapped him on the shoulder, and said ashamedly: "You little villain! Stinky rascals! ”
Li Lizhi looked at the two of them and laughed, and her heart hurt inexplicably, as if she had been pricked by a needle.
She said to herself, "What's wrong with me?" Why do I have heartache?
Su Mu looked at the old man on the side, laughed, and drank a glass of wine.
The cake was also eaten quickly.
The people at the other tables said goodbye one after another, got up and left, and asked the family members in the Li Mansion to clean up the tables and stools.
But the guests did not disperse, and they all gathered around the Li Mansion, waiting for the night.
Li Mohan ordered four more plates of peanuts to be served on the main table.
Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji and a few others drank another jar of wine with peanuts.
It's already getting dark.
One after another, the family moved some cardboard boxes, and filled the courtyard with tables and chairs removed.
Li Mohan explained to the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin and several others:
"I was going to enjoy the fireworks show with the villagers in the village on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. But unexpectedly, the Turks attacked, and the first batch of fireworks were all set aside by me to deal with the Turks. This is the second batch of the rush system, just in time for my birthday. Tonight, let's make up for the regrets of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Li Mohan rubbed his temples, sobered up, smiled at Su Ling'er, and said, "Good daughter-in-law, I'll show you flowers." ”
Pick up a torch, stagger over to a cannon, find the twist, and light it.
"Snort~" The twist burns quickly.
With a "bang", with a long tail flame, a ceremonial flower was hit dozens of meters into the air.
Countless brilliant sparks flickered, followed by an explosion.
"Snort~bang!"
"Snort~Bang"
"Wow, it's beautiful! Is this what you call fireworks? Su Ling'er looked at the fireworks blooming in the night sky and asked Li Mohan excitedly.
Li Mohan nodded.
The crowd outside Li's Mansion also erupted in cheers and admiration.
Li Shimin, eldest grandson Wuji, and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, looking at the brilliant sparks like cherry blossoms in the night sky one by one, as well as the loud explosions of thunder.
"Miracles, miracles!"
Li Shimin's words trembled.
Is this a fetish that scares off 200,000 Turkic horsemen?
Is this the legendary Megatron Thunder?
Li Mohan stretched out his hand to pull up Su Linger's soft wattle, handed her the torch, and said softly:
"Come, let's play together".
"Hmm"
Su Linger nodded obediently.
Li Mohan found the twist and lit the second firework with her.
"Chirp chirp ~ bang!"
"Chirp chirp ~ bang!"
This time, it was the Sky Monkey that ignited.
Su Linger said softly in Li Mohan's ear: "You, you still can't change this problem of playing with fire, playing with fire when you were a child and almost set our house on fire." This grows up, and plays with this kind of fireworks again. This time, though, I like it! ”
Li Mohan smiled: "It's good if you like it!" When it's time for us to get married, we'll have more fun. ”
"Hmm" Su Ling'er nodded, a happy smile on her face.
Li Lizhi found a torch from nowhere at this time, and she also rushed over to play.
"Smack"
Li Mohan kicked her in the ass.
"Do you know where to set fire?! What should I do if I get blown up!? ”
"Ah, it hurts!" Li Lizhi said in pain, rubbing her kicked buttocks with her hands, her eyes full of grievances.
When Li Shimin saw it, his eyes almost erupted with fire, and he had the heart to kill Li Mohan.
"Stinky boy, where are you kicking to!?"
Li Mohan looked back and saw Li Shimin's angry look, and hurriedly said:
"Uncle Qin, I'll discipline this stinky boy for you! Don't worry. ”
Li Shimin said in his heart, can I not be in a hurry? My precious daughter, the pearl in her palm, she has never been willing to scold, which onion are you a stinky boy, and you still discipline me? You don't know how fast my long knife is, do you?
was about to get angry, when Li Mohan told Li Lizhen how to find the twist, and after lighting the twist, he kicked Li Liqin's ass again, and then led Su Linger to go back.
"Stinky boy, come and set it off."
You're the stinky boy! Li Lizhi scolded hatefully in her heart: Li Mohan, this stinky boy, a big hooligan! You, dare to kick me there! Stinky rascals! I'm not done with you!
Rubbing his buttocks, he looked at Li Mohan with resentment and said, "Let me set it off, why don't you play?" ”
Li Mohan snorted wine and said:
"You stinky boy, don't be lazy, don't you see, everyone at our table, except for you, is drunk, and you are a man who doesn't drink. If you didn't set off the fireworks, wouldn't you still let Ling'er, a girl, come? ”
Li Li said aggrieved in her heart: People are also girls. I thought of the filthy words in Li Mohan's words again, and scolded him in my heart for being a scoundrel!
Su Ling'er thought that Li Mohan was speaking rudely, so she reached out and twisted it around his waist: You stinky rascal!
There was no way, but under the coercion and curiosity of Li Mohan, he lit the twists of those fireworks one by one, looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the night sky, and quickly forgot the pain in his buttocks, and had a lot of fun.
Seeing that Li Lizhi was having fun, Li Shimin's face slowly eased.
The fireworks continue to bloom, reflecting half the sky. The whole Zhuangzi was immersed in joy.
The huge movement also alarmed the people in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, and even the soldiers who patrolled the night in Wugong County could see the brilliant fireworks here in Lijiazhuang.
What Li Mohan didn't expect, his birthday fireworks show also had an unexpected effect.
The Turks lurking near Lijiazhuang lay on their stomachs in the grass, looking in horror at the crackling and exploding fire in mid-air, as well as the loud noises that came. Thinking that the madman in Li Jiazhuang had done it again, he didn't care about the task of assassinating Li Mohan, so he was so frightened that he retreated overnight.
