Just after returning to Lotus Leaf Street, smoke was curling on the roofs of every house, and children who had gone out to play began to run home one by one sweating profusely and waving their little black paws. Inevitably, it will be another scolding, and if you are unlucky, you may have to eat a fried meat with bamboo shoots.

Tao Li swayed slowly on Lotus Leaf Street, walking very slowly, going too fast for more than ten years, he didn't have time to take a closer look, today he wants to slow down, measure every inch of land on Lotus Leaf Street with his feet, and keep every corner in mind.

When I was about to get to the house, a childish voice came from my ears: "Brother Tao, can you help me fix this?" ”

A tiger-headed child beside Tao Li asked Tao Li with a broken bamboo dragonfly in his hand, followed by a few playmates.

Talking is the child of Li carpenter at the west end of Lotus Leaf Street, Li carpenter originally worked in the Ministry of Industry, but later resigned in a fit of anger because the Shengong Camp was not valued, and started a carpenter business at home.

Li Gongyi, this is Carpenter Li giving his son a name, as the name suggests, he naturally thinks that his son can become the same as Mr. Gongyi, and become the ancestor in this industry. But Li Gongyi, this kid has been very resistant to carpenters since he was a child, and he is good at playing knives, guns and sticks.

There is no father who doesn't hurt his son, there is a carpenter's father, of course, Li Gongyi is indispensable to all kinds of gadgets, relying on these things Li Gongyi quickly became the child king of several nearby streets, and he responded to every call, so not majestic.

Tao Li rarely moves around on weekdays, but his neighbors still recognize him, and he is gentle and frugal, no one will dislike it, so that Li Gongyi These children have no sense of alienation with the official master in their eyes.

Smiled and took the bamboo dragonfly, looked carefully, it turned out that the bamboo handle and the bamboo wings were loose, and there were no sawdust and other things, it is estimated that Li Gong lost back to find his father to repair, and it was inevitable that it would be another white-eyed mockery, you Laozi and I are a well-known carpenter in the imperial capital, you kid can't even repair this little gadget?

"It can be repaired!" Tao Li said after fixing his gaze on the door painting on his door.

A burst of jubilation, childhood joy is often so simple, a new clothes, a toy. Or a plate of favorite dishes, or the person you have missed for a long time appears in front of your eyes again.

Tao Li walked to the door of the Hou Mansion, tore off a piece of confetti from the door painting, and under the expectant eyes of the children, he divided the bamboo dragonfly into its original state.

"Try?" Tao Li handed the repaired bamboo dragonfly to Li Gongyi, and Li Gongyi took it happily. Rub your hands, let go of your hands, bamboo dragonflies leave your hands, fly into the sky, like birds leaving the branches, soaring in the air, can fly for a long time, still to land and perch, that is home.

Tao Li caught the falling bamboo dragonfly, handed it to Li Gongyi, stretched out his hand, thought about it, retracted it again, and asked with a smile: "Brother Tao, do you want to play?" ”

These words made Tao Li stunned, he didn't seem to have played with this gadget, and he was interested for a while. Learning Li Gongyi's movements, Tao Li and the crown have become martial arts masters in the year, and their understanding is extremely high, with a sense of ingenuity, the bamboo dragonfly soars into the air, flying higher and higher, until it is almost invisible to the naked eye before it begins to fall slowly.

Tao Li's operation made Li Gong lose a few babies and was stunned one by one. Then there was another burst of cheers and boiling, which is higher than the Ping'an Building in Guanhua Lane, right?

The bamboo dragonfly fell on the ground and no one picked it up, and a few babies surrounded Tao Li, chattering about their admiration and worship for Tao Li.

Tao Li leaned over and picked up the bamboo dragonfly, flew it into the air again and again, sometimes fell in the wrong direction, and trotted to pick it up, fell on the wall, and then held a certain baby to get it, and if it didn't fly, it would be a little annoyed, and the appearance of being hit in the head and eating pain would also cause the babies to laugh. For a while, I was completely oblivious and intoxicated.

Gu Yu looked at Tao Li quietly in front of the Hou Mansion, he really hadn't been so happy for a long time, so he would be more happy. As for the palm print of the celebrant in the palace, it doesn't hurt for the great eunuch to think about it later.

The sky is getting dark, several babies have returned home one after another, Li Gongyi was about to leave when Tao Li wanted to return the bamboo dragonfly to him, who knew that Li Gongyi waved his small hand, and said magnificently: "Send you, Brother Tao will become a general in the future, and the elder brother will go to you, don't forget that the elder brother is." ”

Tao Li couldn't cry or laugh a little, this big fart baby knew that he would first engage in relationships and sell favors. Putting the bamboo dragonfly into his arms, he turned around and looked, a delicate figure had been waiting under the door of the Marquis of Ning'an for a long time.

Except for the father and mother who gave you blood and bones, no one takes it for granted that you are good, Tao Li did not fully understand this truth at this time, he remembered Tao Ning, Sui Jianzhi, Zhou Wanqing, Sui Ying, Sui Yi, Xiaoyao Wang, but ignored the girl in front of him in a light green dress, she Gu Yu did not owe him anything.

It's just that Tao Li didn't understand many things and feelings thoroughly at this time, maybe he didn't understand until he lost it one day, people, not all of them are like this.

Tao Li shrugged his neck, lowered his head and walked in front of Gu Yu, he was ready to meet the storm, anyway, he was used to it, and he didn't even wait for the stormy question, and a touch of fragrance came to his nose.

Gu Yu raised his bare hand and wiped off some sweat stains on Tao Li's forehead with his sleeve, staring at the young man, Qiushui's long eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance, and there was a kind of feeling that the young man couldn't see that he couldn't say.

"Sister Gu Yu, what's wrong with you?" Tao Li asked after feeling Gu Yu's unusual behavior.

"It's okay, you're leaving, I'm reluctant." Gu Yu withdrew his hand and said.

Hearing this, Tao Li suddenly hugged Gu Yu, patted Gu Yu's back and whispered: "Sister Gu Yu, it's okay, I will come back soon, and when I return, I will bring you the unique fox fur on the grassland, you must look good in it." ”

"It's okay to come back as soon as possible, I don't need anything else," Gu Yu said this, and Gu Yu still had the picture of him personally draped himself in a snow-white fox fur in his mind.

"Okay, how bad it is for others to see it, Grandpa Zhang of the celebrant is still waiting for you in the house." Gu Yu broke free from Tao Li's embrace, hid the unspeakable affection, and let the rippling heart lake return to calm.

If, if it really can, in fact, she hopes that he can always hold her like this, just like he hugged the girl in white, above board, without scruples.

"Huh? Grandpa Zhang is here? Sister Gu Yu, why didn't you tell me earlier? Tao Li returned to his usual acute tone and complained to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu raised his hand and was about to invite him to eat chestnuts, but at the same time, his lips opened slightly, so frightened that Tao Li hurriedly fled to the hall.

The night came as promised, the lights were ten thousand homes, on the lotus leaf street, in front of the Ning'an Hou Mansion, the girl raised her head to look at the moon, the night was very beautiful, the moon was very round, the moonlight was very white, but it was a pity that it would be a few days before it turned from round to short. The person in my heart is also leaving, and I don't know how many full moon nights will be before we can see each other again.

In the lobby of the Hou Mansion, Zhang Jin, the chief eunuch with the big red python robe, sat slowly on the guest seat and sipped the fragrant tea, so that he did not show the slightest impatience because he had waited for a long time.

This is the number one person beside the emperor, serving two generations of monarchs, dutiful, not in love with power, and his conduct is notoriously good, and the Chinese martial arts, the concubines in the palace are all greeted with smiles.

In these years, the Son of Heaven has ignored the government and lived in the palace for a long time, Zhang Jin rarely left the palace, and suddenly visited the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, which made Tao Li very confused.

"Grandpa Zhang, I've been waiting for a long time." Tao Li hurriedly came to the lobby to salute Zhang Jin and apologize.

Zhang Jin quickly got up and helped Tao Li up, and said: "The little marquis is polite, I know that the governor's mansion must have official business to summon the little marquis, compared to the current matter, what does it matter if our family waits a little longer?" His tone was modest and his expression was sincere, worthy of being a person who had served two generations of emperors.

"What is the reason why my father-in-law came?" Tao Li couldn't think of a reason, so he simply asked directly.

"Holy Message!" There was no extra politeness, Zhang Jin said the purpose of coming.

"Father-in-law, wait a minute, let me change my clothes." After a brief moment of consternation, Tao Li said.

Zhang Jin shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't bother, the little marquis can go with me." ”

Tao Li actually still knows the incense relationship between his family and the royal family, especially his father and the current saint, when today's son can sit on that throne, and Li Ziru, Qi Jianxian, his father and other military bigwigs have an inseparable relationship.

The first emperor Yao Hong had a total of six sons, the second prince Yao Xiao did not love the royal power, it is a well-known thing that he did not love the country, he was obsessed with martial arts, the eldest prince and the fifth prince died early, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the sixth prince made a lot of efforts for the throne in the early years, and finally the third prince who was supported by the military won. was made the crown prince by the first emperor, fortunately, Yao Qian is not a murderous master, taking into account the feelings of brotherhood, he did not embarrass the two princes, and after becoming the emperor, the two younger brothers were crowned kings respectively. Let them be a little emperor in their own fiefdom. Even the four princes, who were not honest and often stirred up trouble in the southern Xinjiang province, just sent the Nanping army to garrison them, and did not kill the killers.

The two of them came all the way to the apse of the Sacred Heart Temple, and before they entered the door, a mellow voice came from inside: "Enter!" ”

Yao Qian's bedroom is very different from what Tao Li thought, the hall is clean and tidy, there is a faint scent of sandalwood in the air, and on the left side of the entrance is a book case, with a thick chapter on the case, Yao Qian is sitting in front of the desk at the moment and picking up a copy to watch, it seems that it is presented by the Governor's Mansion. There are still a few strong aura in the dark, even if it is extremely covered, but as a great master, how could Tao Li not feel it, thinking that it should be the Holy Dragon Guard.

Tao Li didn't look good, and after saluting, he bowed his head and waited, although he was dissatisfied with all kinds of behaviors like today's son, but at least he still had to have a sense of awe, the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers was indispensable, and the rules of the ancestors could not be forgotten.

There has not been too much change on his face, but Tao Li is secretly thinking about it in his heart, it seems that the most powerful person in the world in front of him is not so unbearable, at least now that Beiyuan is going south, he still knows how to care.

Yao Qian is also watching Tao Li, the more he looks, the more satisfied he becomes, not floating or boring, his friend has a successor, and his two sons are all unparalleled talents, which makes people envious, if his sons have Tao Ning Tao Li's talent, how good it would be.

"Xiao Li, are peaches sweet?"
