Chapter 189: Chasing the North (38)
Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, has many children, especially his daughter. When he was stationed in Jinyang, he already had nineteen daughters, the eldest of whom were already married, and naturally they were from a family of gate valves, and the younger one was still held in the arms of the nurse.
On the occasion of the family gathering, the warblers and swallows are surging, and the Li family banquet is like a country of fragrant flowers, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, and the family style is simply incomparable.
Tang Guogong has always been lenient to his children, and he has set up a family with force, and he does not have as many stinky rules for his daughters as those families in the south. In the affairs of the family, the daughters can also intervene. Adult daughters are also able to raise their own Hakka generals. Back then, in Luoyang, Chang'an, and now in Jinyang, the daughter of the Li family travels, and the honor guard is majestic, no worse than the men of the family.
The one who came to the mansion of Tang Guogong today is Li Yan, the seventeenth daughter of the family, although she was born to a concubine, she is rarely heroic and cheerful, and she is known as a chivalrous woman in the Li family. Needless to say, Tang Guogong loves this daughter, and in the Li family, there is another big backer.
Although Jiancheng is the son of the world, in this generation, it is not he who speaks the most. is the third in the family, the oldest daughter, and now married to Li Xiu, the eldest son of Julu County Gong, Chai Shao.
Tang Guogong is busy with official business, and the Li family has to support everything by himself. And his wife Dou's body is not good. With so many children in the family, Li Xiu is in charge of all things, and Li Xiu takes care of everything that happens to his brothers and sisters. In addition, Li Xiu is also from the Dou family, and his lineage is passed on. Even Li Jiancheng had to retreat in front of Li Xiu, and never competed with this third sister.
Li Xiu also loves her seventeenth sister in every way - both of them are hearty and chivalrous. When she was presiding over family affairs at home, she was partial to Li Yan, and later she left a sentence when she got married, Li Yan was wronged, so she rushed back from Chang'an to give Li Yan a head, and the people who provoked Li Yan were counted as one, and she had to clean it up!
If it weren't for Li Yan's not that arrogant and unreasonable temperament, with these two protections/guards/umbrellas, she would be able to run rampant and domineering in the Li family!
Li Yuanjitian is not afraid of his temper, he can stand up to his second brother, and he is honest when he sees that the seventeenth sister is also honest, and he never dares to cause trouble in front of the seventeenth sister. Li Jiancheng also spent a lot of effort to envelop his seventeenth sister, but Li Yan was good friends with Erlang Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng could only stop.
Today, I suddenly saw Li Yan's car battle in front of the Tang Guogong Mansion, but what I wanted to say was to send Li Shimin out at this critical juncture.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Jiancheng's expression, as long as Li Jiancheng signaled to stay away, he would immediately turn around and leave.
Li Jiancheng pondered for a while, and finally ordered: "Get off the horse, send someone to pass the word to the door, the son is built, visit his father, and have an important military report." ”
After all, he is the identity of the prince, and what he is talking about is a dignified and upright military matter. Even though he is a little selfish, what can Erlang do if he works hard for his father? Even if Erlang knows, doesn't he have to bear it? As for the seventeenth sister, if she makes a fuss, she doesn't say anything, what can she do if she is wronged in front of her sister? No matter how favored the seventeenth sister is, she can't be the son of the world!
When the Jinyi family heard the order, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and entered the door of the mansion to spread the word. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also dismounted and waited in front of the door.
The subordinate officials naturally couldn't let the prince wait, so they immediately greeted him and introduced Li Jiancheng inside.
Li Jiancheng didn't let the doorman accompany him, but he and his younger brother Yuanji were all the way under the leadership of the subordinate officials.
This Tang Guogong is in Jinyang Mansion, although the pattern is not large, but it is also relative. There are also fifteen or sixteen depths before and after. Outside, there are six army eagle Yangfu sergeants on duty, and within three entrances, all the Jinyi generals are on duty. Although the family general, he is also a helmet and armor, and the knife and halberd are bright.
The Li family in Longxi won the pillar country by force, and now there is more hope of turning the family into a country. In the mansion, there is no femininity, and it is full of strict military rule of law. All the furnishings are plain, but this strong posture is revealed!
Jiancheng Yuanji traveled all the way, and these guards on duty all saluted with flat chests, and heard the sound of the collision of armor leaves all the way. The subordinate officials led to the third entry and stopped, and then the internal history of the Guogong Mansion was connected, led to the door of the inner courtyard, and it was the royal family order to catch it, and it was between the inner courtyards. It leads all the way to a small garden in the inner courtyard, which is where Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, stays!
The entire Tang Guogong Mansion is plainly furnished, only this small garden, which has been painstakingly managed, is all Jiangnan style.
Li Jiancheng knew that his father had always been a wealthy family in the north, and he liked martial arts and was rough and straightforward. In fact, I love Jiangnan scenery very much, and each resident mansion will spend a lot of effort to renovate a place that is pure Jiangnan scenery. I just never see outsiders here.
Li Jiancheng, who imitates his father in everything, has also developed this habit since he was a child, and the prince's mansion is a south wind. Only Erlang Li Shimin is a typical northern man, and he has never looked down on these small things in Jiangnan.
Li Jiancheng cleaned up his appearance in front of a flower hall, and then walked into the flower hall with Yuan Ji one after another.
The flower hall is spacious and facing the water. In summer, you can open the windows four times, as if you are in the middle of the water town. Now in winter, every window is covered with brocade. There are a lot of copper braziers in the room, the bamboo charcoal in the brazier is burning vigorously, and a little ambergris incense is added to it, in the meantime, this aroma has the purpose of refreshing the mind.
At the head of the flower hall, a young girl sat on the brocade stool in front of the Hu bed, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with big eyes and a nose, she was an outstanding beauty, a pair of eyebrows flew obliquely upward, and there was a different kind of heroic spirit.
The girl wore a bearded dress with large lapels, narrow sleeves and waist, and a leather belt of a pig and dragon around her waist, without a sachet, only a green jade pendant. It's also heroic to sit there.
Seeing Jiancheng Yuanji coming, he jumped up without waiting for them to speak, and greeted with a smile: "Da Lang, Xiao Yuanji, you are here!" ”
The girl smiled and showed a mouthful of neat white teeth, and there was no subtlety of smiling without showing teeth, and a shallow pear vortex on the side of her cheeks added a little bit of the charm of her daughter's family.
Jiancheng sighed in his heart, the daughter of the Li family is famous for her beauty, and the real best is this seventeenth sister! It's just that I've always been good at men's clothing, and I don't care about my beauty at all, it's a pity!
On the bed, there sat an elderly man with big ears and no anger. At the age of fifty, his neatly tied hair was already a little gray. It is also a bearded dress with large lapels, narrow sleeves and a jade belt around the waist.
This is exactly after the Eight Pillars Kingdom, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty of the Great Sui, the representative of the top wealthy family who bears the hopes of the world, is recognized as the most likely to compete for the world's left behind Li Yuan in Hedong!
The name of Li Yuan shocked the north. Yang Yu, the supervisor of Chang'an, is worried every day about when this Tang Guogong will call. The great cause of Tianzi, who was far away in Jiangdu, also paid attention to his movements. The heroes of the north, everyone is shrouded in his shadow, and they will adjust their response strategies for Li Yuan's every move. Wang Rengong struggled hard in Mayi, also in order to contain Li Yuan a little, so that he would not be so smooth to obtain the land of Guanzhong, so that he could have a little chance!
But at this moment, Li Yuan looked at his children and smiled kindly. Not to mention that today I deliberately wore a parent-child costume in order to cooperate with my daughter.
In his own family, Li Yuan has always been a kind and good parent.
Li Jiancheng nodded at his sister-in-law, and saluted Li Yuan solemnly: "The child has been built, and I have seen my father." ”
