Chapter 62: Family Secrets
After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!
Li Lin asked Xiaoju to bring two glasses of water, and Li Cheng began to tell Li Dongsheng about the origin of his family. In fact, Li Dongsheng is also a little strange, he has been in the Tang Dynasty for several months, and he has not seen his relatives, his mother's relatives are all known in Jingyang, it is far away, and it is inconvenient to come and go in ancient times, as for his father's relatives here, they have not seen them come to the door, nor have they heard my father mention it.
The kinship relationship in ancient times was not as indifferent as in the 21st century, when people basically lived by clans, often living together as a large family, and the patriarch had the absolute right to speak, even if the family was divided, they had to go back to the main house to worship. No matter how far away the relatives are at the door, they have to be warmly received, like Li Cheng is already relatively good in feudal society, it stands to reason that there should have been relatives who came to visit and fight the autumn breeze, but it has not appeared until now, so it is very weird.
"Dongsheng used to be playful like a child, I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart, knowing that you might be sensible later than others." Li Cheng took a sip of water and continued: "After you broke your head that day, it was like a different person, not only did you have whimsical ideas, but you could actually write poetry and write? I was amazed. I am very pleased to see that you are slowly becoming able to honor your parents and know how to manage the affairs of the restaurant at home. ”
Li Lin, who was sitting and listening to the side, was also very touched when he heard Li Cheng say this, probably thinking of the hard work of raising Li Dongsheng, and tears also flowed from the corners of his eyes. When Li Dongsheng saw it, he hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, smiled very doggedly, and made a grimace, which made Li Lin smile bitterly.
At this time, Li Cheng's face was straightened, and he stood up and said: "My Li family is also an official family, and my great-great-grandfather Li Yi served as the assassin of the Northern Wei River and Qin Erzhou, and the founding prince of Du County; Great-grandfather Li Chongyi served as Yinzhou and Assassin during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was named the Duke of Yongkang County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. My uncle Li Quan, Sui Zhao County Taishou, Linfen Xianggong; There are four brothers in the uncle's family, among whom you must have heard of your second uncle, Li Jing. ”
"Li Jing?" Li Dongsheng was dizzy by this name, in China's 5,000-year-old civilization, there are many famous generals like stars in the sky, but Li Jing is definitely one of the most dazzling stars. In the New Tang Dynasty, Li Jing had a literary and military talent when he was young, and his uncle Han Baohu often praised and said: "Those who can talk about Sun and Wu are only people." "Starting from a small meritorious Cao, he was both civil and military, and he was a general, pacifying Xiao Milling, pacifying Lingnan, pacifying Fu Gongqi, defeating the Eastern Turks, and expeditioning Tuyuhun made great achievements for the unification and consolidation of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he will govern the army, combat and accumulated a set of successful experience, wrote the art of guarding the war, and now there is no Lingyan Pavilion meritorious map, but Li Jing is already famous, and now he is serving as the secretary of the military department, and next year will be the most glorious moment of his life - the suppression of the Eastern Turks.
After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Li Dongsheng still raised his head in disbelief, looked at his father, and asked tentatively, "Which Li Jing is it?" Li Cheng's face seemed to have a light on it, and he exuded brilliance, and nodded firmly: "It's that Li Jing." It's my cousin, your cousin. ”
"Why haven't you heard my father mention it? Why don't we have any contacts? Li Dongsheng still doesn't believe that Li Jing is such a tall name, how many idols in later generations have become his cousin so easily.
"Who said that there is no contact, I am not working so hard just for the sake of the family." Li Cheng sighed and said: "Your grandfather Li Zhixing is Li Quan's younger brother, working as a farmer at home, and when he went to his brother in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he fell ill and died on the road, I lived in my uncle's house at that time, and later they all went to the army to be officials, and someone in the family had to manage the industry, and only I came out to do things." ”
"Oh......" Li Dongsheng suddenly realized, no wonder he saw that his father often went out for a few days without seeing anyone, it turned out that he was all busy with family affairs.
"The restaurants in this county... There is also the manor in the countryside, which was originally the property of the family, but now it is separated" Li Cheng said very meaningfully: "The Li family officials are getting bigger and bigger, there are more enemies, and there are more people who are red-eyed. ”
Li Dongsheng understood, for the sake of his own future, his father had decided to let him go to Chang'an, and found a big backer, for fear that his son would suffer in the capital. It's this relative, who doesn't know whether it's surprise or surprise, how is his attitude towards himself.
"You also know, the restaurant, Zhuangzi, usually said that there is not much food production, your father has a good reputation, never want to make money from tenants, sometimes the tenants' families suffer disasters, our family also gave some relief, the family did not have any savings before, fortunately you got toothpaste, toothbrush, and flower water, and the building also got a few special dishes, this life is better, otherwise..."
"Mom, don't worry, life will definitely get better and better in the future, you just wait to enjoy the blessings." Seeing that there was fog in his mother's eyes again, Li Dongsheng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"The time to go to Chang'an this time is also relatively urgent, and the incident happened suddenly, and there is no preparation. Fortunately, it's not far away, I'll arrange for someone to go to Chang'an tomorrow to deliver a letter, and then you go directly to your second uncle's house to visit, and listen to his arrangement wherever you go. Li Cheng paced a few steps in the room, patted his son, who was taller than himself, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, you are so old in a blink of an eye, and now that the family affairs have been decided, you should also go out to see the world." ”
Li Lin may have thought of the scene of parting with his son again, tears flowed out again, holding a handkerchief with tears, choked up: "Xiaobao went to Chang'an to study alone at such a young age, he never left home, I am worried that he will be bullied outside, and he is not used to life." ”
Li Dongsheng saw his sentimental father and sad mother, and hurriedly posed as a bodybuilding champion, raised and bent his arms, exposed his biceps, put them on his chest and said with a smile: "Father and mother, please look, the child is so strong, who can bully me." It's good that I don't bully people. ”
Li Lin looked at his funny appearance, and sneered: "You are strange again, you have to be a low-key person in Chang'an City, where there are all imperial relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles, maybe it is some kind of powerful person, you must not cause trouble." ”
Li Dongsheng changed his back to a healthy shape, and said without replying: "The words of father and mother, children should keep in mind, and they must not take the initiative to cause trouble, even if they are bullied, I must also convince people with virtue." ”
