August is the hottest season.

The Guanzhong Plain is like a furnace, scorching thousands of living beings, and the scorching sun shines mercilessly on the earth, and even the cicadas on the trees seem to be wilted, and there is a hissing from time to time.

Under the ginkgo tree in the middle of the Li family's courtyard, the sunlight stubbornly shone through the dense shade, spreading irregularly between the gaps in the shade.

Li Su was wearing his improved knee-length nose pants, five minutes long, with a loose belt around his waist, his upper body was naked, barefoot, and he was lying on a bamboo recliner to recuperate.

The maid behind him kept fanning him, the low table on the right hand side was full of all kinds of snacks, and a bowl of crystal clear ice cubes, the year he left Chang'an, Li Su asked people to dig an ice cellar at home, and the pure ice and snow in winter were knocked and cut into pieces, and sent into the ice cellar, and finally enjoyed the happiness in the summer.

It's still very hot, it's not solid to take a nap, and not long after lying down, a layer of sweat broke out on the back, wet, sticky, and very uncomfortable, Li Su is absolutely unbearable for people with cleanliness.

Sighing as if giving up, Li Su opened his eyes and sat up straight.

Guanzhong was so hot that day, it seemed that Sun Dasheng kicked over Taishang Laojun's Dan furnace, and the furnace bricks inside used expired military maps and accidentally fell in Chang'an.

Looking up at the sunlight shining through the gaps in the shade of the trees, even if there were only stars, Li Su's eyes were still stabbed.

I've taken a bath five times today, and now I'm sweating again, I'm afraid I'm going to jump into the bathtub to rinse again, Rao is Li Su loves cleanliness and hygiene so much, and I can't help but feel that I'm too clean, and I'm about to peel off my skin.

Steward Xue hurriedly walked in from outside the door. gave Li Su a salute first, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, there is a happy event, and the official has come up......

Li Su was a little irritable in the heat, and said angrily: "Who is full on a hot day and has nothing to do to hang around?" Who's coming? ”

"The branch of the household department, a Lang Zhong ...... surnamed Wu"

Li Su scratched his head: "Lang Zhong surnamed Wu? Why is it so familiar? What is he going to do? ”

Steward Xue said happily: "It is said that it is to measure the land for the Hou Ye." Also, 500 families moved from Hanshui, and they will be our farmers from now on. ”

Li Su was stunned and said, "Five hundred households? ”

Steward Xue looked at him and said, "Have you forgotten the reward that His Majesty gave you a few days ago?" There are 500 households in the real food town, and the 'real food town' means that the imperial court will send you 500 households. ”

Li Su suddenly realized that he was busy counting the family's money in the past few days, but he really forgot that Li Shimin also gave him land and households.

Thinking about it. Li Su's irritable mood suddenly improved a lot, and even a smile appeared on his face.

Real food yi, but not the previous county when the head of the empty head of the "food yi", there is an extra word "real" in front, the nature is completely different, from now on these five hundred households are the Li family's people, the local government of the Li family's field should also be set aside to make a separate register, because the Li family's land is already considered the fief of the imperial court. Every year, the production of the fields does not have to pay a penny to the imperial court, and it is all cheap.

"Haha. Good thing, happy event! What about Wu Langzhong? Li Su dragged Steward Xue and said.

Steward Xue smiled and pointed to the door, and said, "Waiting outside the door for the Hou Ye to summon you, this time is different from the past, our family is the Hou Mansion of Tangtang County, just a Langzhong." It's not like you can come in if you want to, what kind of powerful person is Hou Ye, how can you say that you can see it? After all, when the Hou Ye is in a good mood and wants to see him, he can enter the door......"

Steward Xue looked proud. The chest is straight, and the eyebrows show a bit of villainous ambition, and Rory is verbose, all of which are sycophants who raise their value.

Li Su waved his hand: "Please let him in, quickly, send people and land, don't dare to make people wait for a long time, be polite." ”

Steward Xue got the order, hurriedly tiptoed out the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at Li Su, and pointed at him in embarrassment.

"Master Hou, you're naked, aren't you, uh, a little ...... What's that. ”

Li Su lowered his head and found that he was still naked, revealing a chest as white as jade, no chest muscles, and no knotted and bulging tendon flesh on his arms.

"What are you doing stupidly? Don't hurry up and wait for the marquis to change clothes! Steward Xue widened his eyes and yelled at the maid who was fanning behind Li Su, the maid was so frightened that she hurriedly took out a cyan silk round-necked gown, and was about to serve him to put it on, but he heard a graceful and calm voice behind him: "You step down, I will serve the husband to change clothes." ”

Li Su turned around and saw Xu Mingzhu wearing a lake-green palace skirt and walking in a beautiful style, with two long golden steps diagonally inserted into the sideburns of her jet-black hair, swaying rhythmically with her steps.

Xu Mingzhu took the gown in the maid's hand, carefully put it on Li Su, and complained softly while wearing it.

"The husband is the marquis of His Majesty, a serious Tang magnate, looking at the entire Chang'an City, which magnate is shirtless and without dignity like the husband? The concubine heard that the imperial history of the court can be managed widely, if the appearance of the husband is spread out and is known by the imperial history, a piece of music is passed into the palace, and you are a copy, it is also a sin if it is not big or small, and the husband is more refreshed on weekdays, and it can save this trouble......"

Li Su smiled and nodded in response.

Xu Mingzhu's beautiful eyes glanced left and right, and when she saw that there was no one around, her voice became softer.

"Husband, the official measured the land for our family, the husband should pay some attention, our family wants good land, but don't teach people to pit, measure some bad land to our family, husband remember, our family wants good land, not bad land, husband Jun took Steward Xue to measure together, Steward Xue knows the quality of the field, the husband just asks him, if the official does not follow, the husband will do it even if he does not want the land, the field is left to future generations, no joke."

Li Su smiled: "Don't worry, madam, I'm not stupid, I want to see who dares to bully me, the marquis, dare to be perfunctory, and then talk about it first." ”

While speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Xu Mingzhu is a woman, she knows the rules, and hurriedly walks into the inner courtyard to avoid.

Li Su was neatly dressed, squinted his eyes, and saw a middle-aged man in a scarlet official uniform with a slightly chubby figure walking towards him.

When he walked to the distance of five steps in front of him, the official suddenly bowed down and saluted, and said, "Wu Fufeng, the middle branch of the official household department, meet the Marquis of Li County." ”

The sound is familiar, and it's ...... I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Su always felt that this voice revealed a little weakness and trembling.

"Haha, Wu Langzhong is in person, Ben Hou is polite...... Hey? It's so familiar......" Li Su was stunned.

Wu Fufeng raised his head and showed Li Su a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Hehe......"

Syllable!

Li Su slapped his thigh violently: "Oops! Isn't this Wu Langzhong? It's really a narrow road......"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Fufeng's face changed greatly, his brush turned completely white, he covered his head with his hands with an unusually familiar movement, his knees were weak, and he squatted on the ground in a standard posture ready to be beaten.

Li Su hurriedly changed his words: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, there is really a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no ......door to hell, it's still not right, hehe, it's really a place in life where you don't meet!" Wu Langzhong, it's been a long time. (To be continued.) )
