Chapter 344: Heading South (53)

In the mansion of the Tang Kingdom, how many maids are now washing the lead and making winter clothes under the lights.

These daughters are all the sons of the Li family in Longxi, and because of their outstanding talents, they were selected to serve by the side of the head of the family. The maid of the Li family, who was also quite famous in the capital back then. How many sons of the family, the women of the Xu Li family, are also in the forefront of the family.

But these handsome maids are now immersed in needlework, sewing heavy winter clothes with stitches and shoes. Finished clothes and shoes were constantly being taken away and sent into the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, seven or eight maids guarded the warehouse, holding counting the clothes in the warehouse.

Mrs. Dou was sitting in the warehouse, and there was no maid guarding her, holding a half-cold drink, just looking at these pretty girls intently, sewing clothes stitch by stitch.

Outside the warehouse, there are still generals waiting, and these brocade-clothed generals are now also doing coolie work. Guarding a few cars, the clothes were put into storage and counted, and they were immediately loaded and sent to the army.

In this era, the family style of the family is not strict to the level of perversion in later generations. Moreover, the maids of the family are all born in the family, and the head of the family is happy to see them match each other and continue to serve the family from generation to generation. In the past, if the maid and the family were going to meet, they would have to look at each other and occasionally laugh. But now, both men and women were too tired to straighten their waists, and there was silence in the inner courtyard, only the sound of needles and threads, and the occasional neighing of cattle.

Mrs. Dou's face was a little flushed, and her figure was much thinner, almost feeling weak. It's just that the eyes are still bright, just focused on the matter at hand.

In addition to matching Li Yuan and taking care of the family for him to have children, the Li family was jealous of the Yang family a few years ago, and Mrs. Dou was afraid of her husband. My health has been bad, and I had a serious illness a few years ago, and I have never been raised. This winter, his body was a little weak, and after Li Shimin was sent to Mayi County, he suddenly collapsed, and after lingering on the sickbed for a while, he supported himself and took the whole family to make clothes for the army.

The body is already so weak, but Mrs. Dou's eyes are extremely bright, with all vitality. It seems to be all gushing out this winter.

Li Yuan was covered in frost and strode into the inner courtyard, surrounded by more than ten generals behind him. Li Yuan's footsteps were urgent and heavy, and his face was full of anxious looks. The generals who were waiting in the front yard of the treasury saw Li Yuan's arrival, and they all hurriedly saluted. In the past, Li Yuan would laugh and scold a few words, in his own yard, what did he do with the rules outside? What to do, what to do, bend down and get up again, looking dizzy up and down.

At this moment, Li Yuan didn't look at them, and strode towards the warehouse. Seeing Li Yuan's arrival, all the maids in the treasury hurriedly got up, and Mrs. Dou also put down her drink and stood up, bowed, and greeted with a smile: "Husband is back from the camp?" ”

Li Yuan's face turned pale, and he stepped forward to support Mrs. Dou: "It's not good to give birth to and raise, why do you care about these things?" There are tens of thousands of troops, all the houses are in charge, there are so many internal wishes, and they are also in charge of Hedong County, so you are not sent to take care of things alone! ”

Li Yuan's voice was loud and urgent, and he was accustomed to being graceful, and he didn't know where he had flown to.

Mrs. Dou was helped up by Li Yuan, and Li Yuan hurriedly waved his hand to those maids, and said loudly: "It's all gone!" In the future, when I see Mrs. taking you busy, one counts as one, and the family law is engaged! ”

When he waved his hand, the big gun wrapped around Li Yuan hindered his movements, and Li Yuan ripped the big gun off, threw it backwards casually, and followed the family general behind him to take it over.

Whether it was a maid or a general, they were all shocked. I have never seen Li Yuan lose his temper like this, even if the two generations of the Son of Heaven were afraid of suppression, Tang Guogong was still graceful and steady, and he always smiled, but today he is in a hurry to become like this!

The maids saluted in a hurry, and they were about to scatter as birds and beasts. Mrs. Dou smiled and said with disgust: "The Li family is the thickest, where is the family law used indiscriminately?" ”

She said to the maid who was about to disperse: "Three thousand winter clothes, ten thousand shoes, less than half of them now, they will continue to operate, and no one is allowed to disperse!" ”

The maids froze again, looked at Li Yuan, looked at Mrs. Dou, and said nothing.

Li Yuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "A good lady of a certain person, your body ............"

Mrs. Dou smiled slightly: "Don't talk about this here, my body is fine." ”

In the middle of the words, Mrs. Dou came out and went to the side of the courtyard. Li Yuan looked at Mrs. Dou's figure behind him, looking at her hair, which was famous in the capital back then, and the light was a little dry, and a few white hairs grew obliquely. The anger on Li Yuan's face finally dissipated, but instead of an unspeakable heartache, he waved his hand to signal the maids to continue working, and he silently followed behind Mrs. Dou and followed her straight into the side house.

When they arrived at the middle of the room, the maid gave fur to cover her legs, and two hot drinks, and hurried out. Only in the wing room, the husband and wife looked at each other.

Mrs. Dou's eyes were still bright, but she was pitifully thin. Li Yuan didn't say a word, just looked at his wife for a long time.

The young man has experienced so many ups and downs together, supported the Li family, and raised so many children. Seeing that the Li family is finally about to turn their family into a country and soar into the sky, but the vitality of his wife is about to be exhausted............

The current spirit is that Mrs. Dou is doubling down on her remaining longevity!

After a long time, Li Yuancai said softly: "Erlang went to Mayi, you have been blaming me, haven't you?" ”

Mrs. Dou shook her head slightly: "I've been thinking about the fire that night, I just don't want the child who fell from my belly to go through the same thing." ”

Li Yuan looked at Mrs. Dou and said in a heavy tone: "But there is so-and-so, and such a thing will never be allowed to happen!" ”

Mrs. Dou said softly: "You still let Erlang go to Mayi." ”

Li Yuan replied in a deep voice: "At this time, do I want to destroy Da Lang's prestige?" Orderly inheritance is the cause of a hundred generations, so many prominent families are looking at our Li family at this time, at this time, there can be no mistakes! ”

Mrs. Dou was silent, she was also from a family, how could she not know this truth?

But countless nights, she dreamed of her second son, struggling in the ice and snow of Mayi County, with a raging flame in the background!

Just like that night, just like the fire that burned in the East Palace on the night when the abolished prince of the Great Sui Dynasty went to the throne!

Mrs. Dou asked bitterly: "When will you go to Chang'an?" ”
