Chapter 393: The apricot leaves are full of warblers

PS: Just one more, a big chapter of 4,000 words

By the time Li Xinchen returned to his mansion, the sky was already lit up with fish belly white, and even curling smoke began to rise on both sides of the street.

However, Li Xinchen didn't have to worry about who would disturb him in broad daylight, because the officials in the entire city were basically turned around by him, and it was impossible for him to have leisure and leisure to disturb Li Xinchen now.

And Li Xinchen didn't stop in the front hall, and walked directly to the backyard. After a night of exhaustion, he even let him kill people with his own hands, it was the time when the spirit was tense, and now that the spirit was relaxed, the whole person began to yawn.

There are not many things left that need Li Xinchen's concern and constant inquiry, if they can't even do this little thing, Dai Cai, Xiao Shilian and others can also clean up and get out. Li Xinchen is the main general, not an errand runner, and it is impossible for him to do everything himself.

In the late autumn season, a cold wind blows, and the ginkgo biloba leaves on the side of the courtyard are fluttering and falling, and the ground in front of the courtyard is already covered with a piece of gold.

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the bedroom, and was immediately stunned.

On the table by the window, the candles had burned out, and a delicate figure was lying on the table, probably asleep.

Li Xinchen almost subconsciously glanced at the layout in the room first, and made sure that he was not in the wrong place, before turning his head to look at the two maidservants who were in a hurry. This is the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion, although it is not big, but there are four or five bedrooms, Xiao Xiang and Li Xinchen's rooms are adjacent, but now this girl is obviously asleep on the table in her room.

"Qi Langjun, after the lady came back last night, she insisted on waiting for Langjun to come back, and asked the slave to wait to rest." One of the maidservants bowed her head and said respectfully.

According to the title of this era, the older male owner of the family should be called "Ah Lang", and the younger male owner should be called "Lang Jun", so although Li Xinchen felt that this title was strange, he did not correct it.

After all, it is he who has to work hard to adapt to this era, not to tamper with everything beyond recognition.

These two maidservants are the children of a poor family newly bought by Li Xinchen after he arrived in Ba County, and he and Xiao Xiang lived here, and they didn't need many servants, plus Li Ping's personal guards, the manpower was enough.

But apparently these two handmaidens were not very good at serving.

Li Xinchen snorted: "You prepare a hot soup, and you want to take a bath." ”

"Yes!" The two maidservants, realizing that they had made a mistake, hurriedly agreed.

And Li Xinchen walked straight into the house, stretched out his hand to close the half-covered window first, and then took off his coat and draped it on Xiao Xiang's shoulder.

Feeling the movement around him, Xiao Xiang opened his eyes in a daze and saw clearly who the person around him was: "Husband? ”

"Silly girl," Li Xinchen reached out and nodded her forehead, "Lie down here and fall asleep, you are not afraid of getting cold!" ”

"Concubine, the concubine was originally waiting for her husband to come back, but she fell asleep first." Xiao Xiang said with some guilt, raised his head slightly, and his clear eyes met Li Xinchen's gaze.

Li Xinchen didn't wait for Xiao Xiang to wake up completely, squatted down and hooked Xiao Xiang's legs, and hugged her horizontally: "Okay, have you bathed?" ”

Li Xinchen hugged abruptly, making Xiao Xiangqiao's face red, and while hugging Li Xinchen, she hummed in a low voice as thin as a gnat.

And Li Xinchen had already put her on the bed, and reached out to pull the futon: "That's okay, go take a bath by yourself, you go to sleep first, it's still early, sleep more." ”

Xiao Xiang nodded, but before Li Xinchen turned around and left, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Xinchen's sleeve, and her voice was low and inaudible: "Husband, you will come back, right?" ”

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment and said solemnly: "Of course." ”

Hearing Li Xinchen's accurate answer, Xiao Xiang closed her eyes with relief, as if only Li Xinchen's promise could make her really sleep with peace of mind.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”--

A ray of sunlight poured in through the window screen, and Li Xinchen opened his eyes. After all, he still has worries in his heart, so he doesn't sleep deeply, plus such a long time on the battlefield, he has developed the habit of getting up when he opens his eyes.

But when Li Xinchen wanted to raise his arm, he realized that there were still people around him.

Xiao Xiang pillowed his arm, obviously awakened by Li Xinchen's movements, opened his eyes and looked at him, and the affection contained in a pair of water-cut autumn eyes pierced Li Xinchen's heart.

Li Xinchen touched his nose, obviously he was not used to having an extra pillow person. And Xiao Xiang sat up: "Husband, do you want to get up?" ”

"Got enough sleep?" Li Xinchen said with a smile, Li Ping, this kid didn't come to him, which means that nothing big happened, and it also made Li Xinchen feel free suddenly.

Since entering Shu, he has either dealt with a group of embryokillers in the barracks, or he has intrigued with those children of the family in the council hall, and now he has suddenly fallen into the gentle township, of course Li Xinchen is not willing to get up like this.

Seeing that Xiao Xiang was embarrassed to say, Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and dragged her back into his arms: "Let's lie down for a while." ”

"HoursΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· It's not too early. Xiao Xiang said shyly.

"What, you're still afraid of jokes?" Li Xinchen scratched the girl's nose, and the feel was really silky, "This Bajun City is one acre and three points of land, whoever laughs at you is laughing at you, and you must show him the color." ”

Xiao Xiang's heart was warm, and while retracting her hair that was scattered on Li Xinchen's chest, she shrunk her legs, and then she felt that she was on something prominent, she couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously reached out and touched it: "What kind of Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· is this?"

"Shhh Li Xinchen gasped, "Girl, what are you doing, is that the place where you can grasp hard?!" ”

And Xiao Xiang also realized what he was caught, his pretty face was hot for a while, he retracted his hand like lightning, and changed the topic in a panic: "Sister Li'er didn't come back last night." ”

Referring to this, I am afraid that there is no sister of his own in his heart now, Li Xinchen could only snort dissatisfiedly: "People are in Xiao Boqing's place, they can't be lost." And looking at Xiao Boqing's expression yesterday, it was clear that he wanted to let someone see the rhythm of his nephew before he got married. ”

Although Li Xinchen didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Xiang also knew what happened between Li Li'er and Xiao Shilian, plus the hot thing he had inadvertently caught just now was rubbing against his leg from time to time, and his mind was even more wandering: "That concubine is already a husband's personΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Raising her eyebrows, how could Li Xinchen not understand what Xiao Xiang meant, and couldn't help but poke her forehead with a smile: "How old are you, what are you thinking in your little brain." ”

Xiao Xiang was told by Li Xinchen, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xinchen directly, so he stretched out his hand to wrap himself tightly in the quilt, and said angrily: "The concubine is already fifteen years old, and she is obviously not small!" ”

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and then understood. The ancients calculated the age and the later generations calculated the age of the age is not at all the same, the ancients calculated the imaginary age, to use a more cheesy way to explain, that is, according to the time of coming out of the father's body, not from the time of the mother's womb out of the tenth month. Therefore, the imaginary age is one year older than the so-called first year in later generations.

In addition, Xiao Xiang's birthday has passed, so it stands to reason that she has to be added another year, so she said that she has no problem at the age of fifteen.

Because the life expectancy of the ancients was very short, especially in this troubled era, many people's life expectancy generally stopped at the age of thirty or forty, otherwise there would be no such feeling as "over seventy years old", so the corresponding ancients married earlier, and girls would begin to talk about marriage at the age of fifteen.

For example, in history, the age when Empress Changsun married Li Shimin was thirteen years old, which is exactly fifteen years old according to the imaginary age.

Li Xinchen subconsciously looked down, Xiao Xiang was lying on his chest, only wearing close-fitting obscene clothes, Li Xinchen could already see the snow-white and warm skin, and of course, the furrow that attracted attention, even if it was not big.

Xiao Xiang also noticed Li Xinchen's gaze, and quickly wrapped himself tightly.

"Girl, you want to freeze me to death?" Li Xinchen looked at Xiao Xiang, who couldn't wait to wrap all the quilts around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xiao Xiang looked at Li Xinchen aggrievedly. And Li Xinchen directly reached out and tore off the quilt: "Okay, let's think about this problem when you get to the twenty-eighth, don't think about it before that, otherwise if you have a child, it will be one corpse and two lives." ”

Obviously frightened by Li Xinchen, Xiao Xiang shrank back, but still retorted: "My husband always talks nonsense." ”

Li Xinchen said with a straight face: "How is this nonsense. ”

However, he didn't explain after all, after all, he couldn't really give Xiao Xiang a physiology and hygiene lesson. This kind of beautiful woman who can leave a famous name in history is tactfully begging for joy in his arms, it is impossible to say that Li Xinchen is not moved, at least now his little brother is ready to shoot at any time.

But Li Xinchen didn't dare to really go up, Xiao Xiang was a little Lori at this age in the future generations, and Li Xinchen didn't even have the consciousness of letting go of the little girl. What's more, Li Xinchen also knows that now when Xiao Xiang is still growing up, the love between men and women is likely to affect her development.

This is his wife, not a slave, so Li Xinchen can't bear to hurt her.

"Come here." Li Xinchen smiled and reached out to grab Xiao Xiang's arm, don't do anything else, it doesn't mean that you can't be gentle and laughing.

Xiao Xiang obediently reshrank into Li Xinchen's arms, and Li Xinchen laughed: "Girl, you are so active, are you worried that your status will not be guaranteed?" ”

"What do you mean, husband?" Xiao Xiang looked at Li Xinchen in astonishment, and immediately understood, shaking his head again and again, "Don't get me wrong, the concubine has no Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·."

Li Xinchen looked at Xiao Xiang's aggrieved expression, couldn't bear it, and rubbed her head: "Okay, I'll tease you." Besides, now you are alone in the entire back house, and no one will compete with you if you want to compete for favor. ”

Xiao Xiang hummed softly. This statement is true. At least Li Xinchen is not a flowery person, from the Battle of Jiangling to the current Bashu, Li Xinchen can be said to be rising at a speed that everyone envies, but from beginning to end he has only one wife and concubine.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would have been indispensable to rely on the green.

"Alright, it's really not early, let's get up." Li Xinchen sat up.

"The concubine is waiting for her husband to change his clothes." Xiao Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, and while reaching out to take his coat and put it on, he got out of bed.

Looking at Xiao Xiang, who bowed down to tie his belt, Li Xinchen showed a strange look on his face.

This woman, who has been tossing and turning in the turbulent times in history as Queen Xiao, is obediently serving herself at this time. For a moment, Li Xinchen didn't know whether he should sigh at the creation of fate and make people, or whether he should be proud of his achievements from the bottom of his heart.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Xiang stretched out his hand and pushed the scattered strand of hair behind his ear, and when he looked up, he just saw the smile on the corner of Li Xinchen's mouth.

"Youqing is like this, what more can you ask for?" Li Xinchen smiled.

Xiao Xiang's hand moved slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at him: "The husband knows to compliment the concubine." ”

Li Xinchen pushed Xiao Xiang to sit on the chair, and stretched out his hand to pull over the bronze mirror: "You serve a certain person to change clothes, and that person serves Xiang'er to make up." ”

"Will the husband do?" Xiao Xiang asked in surprise.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Li Xinchen is serious.

Jiankang Mansion, Nanchen Palace.

Chen Shubao stood under the cloister in front of a temple on the east side of the palace, his face full of worry. The autumn wind tossed his sleeves, and a few leaves swirled in the wind.

"Brother Huang?" Princess Lechang walked over slowly, "Why are you standing here?" ”

This is the place where the royal prince who has not yet reached the age of age and the princess who has not yet married lived, and is located between the harem and the East Palace, because they are also inhabited by dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, so it is also called the "Little East Palace". However, the people in the East Palace don't like this title very much, and there is nothing that Prince Chen Shubao likes here, so it is generally impossible for Chen Shubao to come here.

"Imperial sister, you came just in time!" Chen Shubao seemed to see his life-saving straw, and hurriedly greeted him, "I just came back from my father's imperial study and sent Li Shizhong's battle report and recitalΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Because the war in Jingzhou should not recur in the short term, Chen Shubao and Lechang can also return to Jiankang Mansion safely. Of course, in addition to reporting the situation in Jingzhou to Chen Xu, Chen Shubao also had an important task, which was to transfer Li Xinchen's recitals and battle reports.

Of course, along with this recital, there are also many courtiers in the East Palace.

Just looking at Chen Shubao's expression, Le Chang knew what was going on, turned to the little girl who followed him and said, "Ning Yuan, you go back by yourself first, my sister has a few words to say to the imperial brother." ”

Behind her was Princess Ning Yuan, although Ning Yuan was curious, but seeing Le Chang's serious expression, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly nodded and left. And Chen Shubao only noticed at this time that Lechang was still followed by Ning Yuan, and he barely squeezed out a smile at his sister.

Seeing Princess Ning Yuan walking away with several maidservants, Le Chang asked, "Father is angry?" ”

Chen Shubao shook his head: "Although my father is not angry, he looks very angry. ”

"And that makes sense." Lechang bowed slightly.
