Chapter 372: Salesian Bureau
Li Mu is not a pervert, and he didn't have that kind of "weird fetish" in his previous life, and he has always adhered to the principle of "five years old" in choosing objects. He is able to accept people who are up to five years older than him, or who are five years younger than him. It's too big, there's a generation gap, it's too small, and it's tiring to wait.
After the crossing, he also kept this principle.
He was seventeen years old, twenty years old, fourteen years old, and five years old. As for Wang Ou and Zhang Tianai, he used the age of his previous life to calculate. In his previous life, he was twenty-eight, Wang Ou was thirty-two, and Zhang Tianai was twenty-four, and he was also under five years old.
Seems like a bit of a scoundrel?
Li Mu laughed, Li Wanshun saw it, and said unhappily: "What is my brother laughing at, don't you have to marry us so happy?" ”
"Alas!" Li Mu hurriedly sighed and said, "Where am I happy, I'm about to cry, it's just that the man doesn't flick when he has tears, and I'm strong, brother-" Li Mu quickly diverted the topic, looked at Zheng Guanyin, and said, "Princess Yin, the kid thinks of something, and he has to discuss it with you." ”
Zheng Guanyin smiled: "You don't have to be so rusty in the future, didn't you just say that you have entered the clan?" Call me aunt in the future. ”
Aunt?
Li Mu muttered in his heart. According to the rules, he entered the clan and was the same generation as Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and he called Li Shimin's uncle, so naturally he had to call Li Jiancheng's uncle, Zheng Guanyin, as Li Jiancheng's wife, it was appropriate to call him aunt. But from Wang Ou's side, he and Zheng Guanyin are equals.
In Li Mu's heart, it never matters what kind of clan is not a clan. It has to be closer to the wife's side, and when it comes to relatives, it has to be counted from the wife's side. The main thing is that there are big seniors here, and only fools are willing to be juniors.
Li Mu shook his head vigorously and said, "It's not good, you look so young, like a person in your twenties, how can you call your aunt?" This calls you old, and I'm going to call you sister. ”
"Nonsense!" Zheng Guanyin hurriedly 'reprimanded', but there was no anger on his face, which woman doesn't love beauty? She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face, looked at Li Mu, and asked, "Am I really young?" I met my sister the other day, she was a year older than me, but much younger than me, and she looked like she looked like ten years ago. I shouldn't be as young as her, right? ”
Li Mu slandered in his heart, and secretly thought, you are also worthy of being compared with my wife? But he said: "Almost, you look much younger than the queen!" ”
That day in the East Palace, Li Mu had already seen the discord between the two concubines. Speaking ill of Empress Changsun in front of Zheng Guanyin, she was happy.
Sure enough, when Zheng Guanyin heard this, he smiled and said: "That's right, I am the same age as that person, I couldn't see anything when I was young, but after giving birth, that person's figure became fatter and fatter, I am not boasting, she is indeed inferior to me in this regard." ”
"What you said is extremely true, although she is the queen, I can't deceive my conscience, fair evaluation, what is going on, is what is going on. You do look younger than her. I'm going to call you sister, and it's a stopgap measure. ”
"Expediency?" Zheng Guanyin frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”
Li Mu said: "Have you ever thought about what kind of face you will show in your future life?" ”
"This ......" Zheng Guanyin didn't think too much, and wondered: "Is there any difference?" ”
"It's a big difference." Li Mu explained: "If you use your original identity, you are the widow of Prince Yin, and now that Your Majesty is in power, your position is very awkward. The two children will also be looked at strangely by some people. And because of your honorable status, you will also have a very large sense of distance from the orphans in the Salesian Bureau, and they will not dare to approach you and your two children. This is contrary to your original intention. ”
Zheng Guanyin nodded again and again, and said, "That's true, is there a solution?" ”
"Yes." Li Mudao: "This is exactly what I want to discuss with you, kid wants to know, do you still have attachment to your former identity and glory?" ”
"......" Zheng Guanyin was silent, and after a while, he said with a wry smile: "I didn't say anything at all, that's a lie." But what's the use? The husband died and the son died, and overnight, only our orphans and widows were left, and everything in the past was like a thing of the past. When I came out of the palace, I was for the sake of the two children, and other things didn't matter. ”
"Okay, with your words, then I'll be relieved." Li Mu looked at the two children and said, "The way I came up with is to change my name and surname." ”
"How does this work!" Zheng Guanyin exclaimed: "My two children are the blood of the royal family......"
"You don't have to worry, it's not about being removed from the clan. It's just that when I was living in the Salesian Bureau, I replaced it with a fake name to avoid trouble. Of course, children are royal blood, and when they grow up, they can identify themselves at any time. ”
Zheng Guanyin let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's okay - it's just, how to change the law?" ”
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's easy to do, the mother takes the father's surname, and the husband takes the wife's surname." The child has your surname, and you have the surname of Prince Yin. ”
Zheng Guanyin thought about it, nodded, and said, "This arrangement is reasonable." When I was not out of the cabinet, I had a nickname, called Youniang, and from then on, I was called Li Youniang. These two children-" Zheng Guanyin thought for a while and said, "Why don't you just let you, the 'No. 1 Genius of the Tang Dynasty', give a new name, I heard my father talk about your poems, and my father was full of praise." ”
"I ......" Li Mu wanted to refuse politely, but suddenly a thought flashed in his head, and a funny idea popped up, resisting the urge to laugh, and said seriously: "Then I'll take one." The girl's name should be gentle and beautiful, jade and icy. Why don't you just call it 'Xiuyan' and 'Xiujing'? ”
"Zheng Xiuyan? Zheng Xiujing? Zheng Guanyin read it again, nodded, and said, "It's good, don't you thank your brother?" ”
Li Wanshun and Li Wanyan said in unison: "Thank you, brother." ”
"It's a small thing, for me as the first genius in the Tang Dynasty, it's not easy to get a name......
For things like naming, he still can't get rid of his bad taste, but it's nothing, only he knows about the things in his previous life, and he doesn't have to worry about revealing his stuffing.
……
After a while, when I arrived at the Salesian Bureau, Li Mu had already ordered it yesterday, and made a plaque and hung it overnight. The Salesian Bureau is affiliated with the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he can call the shots about everything, and he can open it whenever he wants.
Today is a good day.
Li Mu took Zheng's mother and daughter into the courtyard, first took them to the back house to put down the salute, and then ordered everyone to gather in the courtyard.
Before that, the Salesian Bureau already had a few people in the department. With so many children, there must be a few people who cook and manage them. There are also guards who came yesterday and were sent by Li Shimin. These children are accustomed to hardship, they don't need to be served, and many things, such as washing dishes and laundry, can be done well by themselves without being said.
Li Mu brought Zheng's mother and daughter to everyone, and everyone's eyes gathered. Xiaoshi and a few other little boys kept aiming at Sister Li Wanshun. It's not that they have any dirty thoughts, but that there is not a single girl in this orphanage, and they are just curious.
In this era, there are no girls among the orphans who can survive. Some poor families gave birth to a girl and strangled them to death.
Li Mu glared at him, and several naughty boys hurriedly withdrew their gazes, not daring to look at them again.
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "Let me introduce to you, the dignified and virtuous woman next to me is one of my own sisters." ”
Zheng Guanyin glanced at him, and when the words came to his lips, he didn't interrupt silently, which can be regarded as acquiescing to the title of 'sister of the family'. When everyone heard that Zheng Guanyin was Li Mu's sister, they were immediately in awe. Zhuluhou's sister, but don't dare to offend.
Li Mu was thick-skinned and didn't care at all, and said to himself: "My sister's life is hard, and her husband sacrificed his life for the country in the war with the Turks. Leaving them orphans and widows, life is not easy. When I learned what was happening, how could I stand idly by? So he sent for them and bought them a house for them to live in. However, I don't know who told my sister about the Salesian Bureau. My sister was kind-hearted and heard that there were so many orphans to take care of, so she came to me and said that she wanted to help too. I didn't want my sister to work, but my sister insisted again and again, and as a younger brother, I could only obey. ”
Li Mu pulled his neck and bragged, he had already entered the state, and continued: "I Li Mu's talent and literary brilliance, you all know it in your hearts. My sister is only higher than me. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is fine. Poetry and poetry are all-powerful. With her words and deeds, it is definitely a blessing for you. From now on, everything in the Salesian Bureau is my sister's decision, you little rabbit cub, if anyone dares to make my sister angry, I will beat him to death, and then chop it up and feed it to the dog, is it clear? ”
The people who stayed in the Salesian Bureau were all children under the age of ten, where did they know what was true or false, and when they heard Li Mu say this, they all believed it, and they were frightened one by one, and hurriedly said: "We must be obedient, and we don't dare to make Hou Ye's sister angry." ”
"What is Hou Ye's sister, my sister's name is Li Youniang-ha, this name is also appropriate. You are all young children who have lost their parents, and she will be your mother from now on. Come, kneel down and call mother! ”
A group of children all knelt down and chanted "Mother's Kiss".
Zheng Guanyin saw so many children, being scolded by Li Mu, the look of cowering in his eyes, he was already distressed, and when he heard them call his mother, tears instantly welled up, and he hurriedly came to him, helped up a few children, and said in a loud voice: "Get up quickly, what are you kneeling on?" No need to kneel. ”
How dare the children get up, they all look at Li Mu with blank eyes. Zheng Guanyin knew where the source was, glared at Li Mu, and said, "Don't let the children get up yet?" This is where you play your prestige? ”
Blended into identity so quickly? Looks like I'm pretty good at it!
Li Mu was overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly apologized, waved his hand, and asked the children to get up.
But he still didn't forget to warn: "You bastard boys, stay away from my niece." If anyone dares to move their hearts and eyes, Lao Tzu will cut off your little Dingding! Send you to the palace as eunuchs! ”
