Chapter 285: Strange Couple
This was the first time Li Su had met his wife.
After half a year of tossing back and forth, the most innocent person is this Xu.
Xu Shi looks very young, fourteen or fifteen years old, his appearance is very quiet, his eyebrows are like willows, his red lips are like cherries, he doesn't dare to look at people with his head slightly hanging his head, because he was married yesterday, her hair was pulled high into a woman's cloud bun, a layer of rouge was lightly applied to her face, and a diamond-shaped flower was attached to the center of her eyebrows.
Li Su looked at her for a moment, and quickly shifted his gaze.
Very beautiful girl, not as she thought she was crooked and slanted and had a beautiful mole, in fact, her appearance was already the best choice, no wonder there was an endless stream of people who asked the Xu family to marry at the beginning, and the father Li Daozheng still relied on his son's county identity to defeat many competitors and set up a family affair with the Xu family.
For this Xu family, Li Su has a strong sense of guilt, although he has no intention, but he still affected her life, she should have found a man who is down-to-earth and spends her life calmly and calmly, but she involuntarily married Li Su, the future is destined to be stormy, can she persevere?
After looking at it, Li Su also gave a salute to Xu: "I've seen Madame, and I've bothered Madam a lot in my life." ”
The simple first sentence is as polite as the meeting of two strangers.
Xu hurriedly bent down and returned the salute: "The husband has broken the concubine's body, and he dare not be the husband's gift." ”
Li Suzhi got up, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Last night, the Firearms Bureau had an urgent business, and I was temporarily called by my subordinates. ”
After speaking, Li Su couldn't help but blush, this is a bad excuse...... Why do you use it again and again?
Steward Xue beside him didn't speak, and glanced at him with a disdainful gaze very secretly.
Xu Shi panicked slightly. Qiao's face flushed, and her head hung lower: "Since it is official business first, how dare the concubine blame the husband, the husband works hard for the country, governs the army and the people for His Majesty, and the concubine doesn't understand anything." I also hope that the husband will teach me more. ”
Governing the army and the people?
Li Su was confused, he hadn't done any of these things, and his greatest contribution to this era was at best the invention of a few cannon battles......
"Ahh Yes, it is very tiring to govern the army and the people! Li Sushun climbed up the pole: "...... The daily processing of official documents often stays up all night, and the wife has just entered the door, and many family affairs are not yet familiar, and you will live in a new house in the backyard in the future. Ask my father if there is anything at home, or ask Steward Xue, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, I read the official documents in the west wing of the backyard every night, and then I don't go back to the new room to sleep. ”
Xu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he drooped his eyelids and said meekly: "Yes." ”
Li Su pondered for a moment, then turned around and instructed Steward Xue to take all the chores in the house. The maid, the cook, and the others were all gathered.
Soon. The subordinates of the Lee Mansion lined up in front of the backyard arch.
Li Su pointed at the Xu family, and said loudly to the people below: "This is the young lady, they all know each other, and she will be the mother of the Li family in the future, if anyone dares to be disrespectful to the mother, I don't want your life." Broke his leg and threw it out directly, ask my father about the family, ask the housewife, ask Steward Xue, don't ask me. Rewards, merits and punishments, all matters are decided by the young lady, okay, what to do, what to do, all dispersed! ”
After the short introduction, the people dispersed one after another, and even Steward Xue went to work in a hurry.
Xu Shixing's eyes widened, and she looked at Li Su in surprise, maybe she didn't expect her husband's style to be so neat and happy.
It wasn't until Li Su turned his head that Xu hurriedly lowered his head, and a hint of blush appeared on his face.
Li Su said with a smile: "My father only cares about the things in the field, and usually doesn't care about family affairs, but I, I'm busy with official business, and I don't have time to take care of it. ”
Xu bowed down and said, "The duty of the concubine, this will also be the concubine's home in the future, how can it be said that it is hard?" ”
"I heard that you haven't slept all night, and today is fine, go back to sleep."
Xu shook his head: "The concubine is not tired, I heard that my father-in-law was drunk last night and still hasn't gotten up, so the concubine went to boil a bowl of soup for my father-in-law......
"These things have their own cooks to do......"
This time, the Xu family did not obey all the times, still hanging his head, but his tone was very resolute: "Others are enough, it is the duty of the concubine to serve her father-in-law and husband, and she should do it herself." ”
After saying that, Xu Shi saluted, and Ying Ying walked towards the kitchen.
Li Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, the kind words of husband and wife are more blunt than meeting strangers, and they are so awkward that they can't live under the same roof, how should they live in the future?
Li Su suddenly wanted to sing, singing "The Most Familiar Stranger", the dialect version of Guanzhong.
************************************************************
The efficiency of the firearms bureau today is very poor, because the subordinate officers and craftsmen are very busy, busy spreading gossip.
"Lord Supervisor came on an errand on the second day of his wedding, what's the matter?" Artisan A fiddled with the black gunpowder on the workshop case, kneading and kneading like dough.
"What nonsense, the adults in prison care about the family and the country, and make more earth-shattering thunder for the Tang Dynasty, even the newlywed wife can't take care of it, are you still suspicious, are you talking about human words?" Artisan B is a mess.
"Jian Zheng is only a teenager, I'm afraid that I got married last night and tasted the taste of a woman, we are all from here, why are you willing to come to the next day after tasting the taste of a woman?" Artisan C questioned.
Craftsman Ding touched his chin and began to reason: "The only explanation is that the aunt married by Jian Zheng is too ugly, and it is estimated that her eyes are crooked and her mouth is slanted, and Jian Zheng can't stand it, so she is out of sight and out of mind, and hides in the Firearms Bureau...... Think about it, in the past, the prison lord did not see anyone for three days, but now he came on the second day of the wedding, and there is a famous hall inside......"
All the craftsmen nodded and praised: "It makes sense!" ”
…………
Li Su stood quietly outside the door of the workshop, his face was clouded, Xu Jingzong accompanied him and laughed, as the craftsmen said more and more outrageous, and when the topic was obviously greeted by three ways, Xu Jingzong's face finally couldn't hold back, and he coughed heavily.
There was a sudden silence in the workshop, and the craftsmen saw that Li Jian was standing at the door with a gloomy face, and they were immediately as quiet as cicadas.
"Call out all the people you just spoke and stand in the front yard."
After Li Su finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
In the front yard, the four craftsmen who were spreading gossip stood in a row, watching Li Su dangling in front of them with a worried expression.
"Good. It's all here, the official is very pleased, come, they all turn around, their butts are facing me, good. Pout your ass a little higher......"
Li Su looked at the four round buttocks in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, then took two steps back, just one run, flew up with one leg in the air, and kicked heavily at the craftsmen's buttocks.
After all four feet, the craftsmen fell to the ground.
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take care of your mouths and do your business well." Don't chew your tongue for things that have nothing to do with you, and if there are people in the workshop who talk about their own officials, twenty military sticks will not be spared! ”
The craftsmen's faces turned white with fright, and they hurriedly bowed down to make amends.
Li Su snorted angrily, turned around and entered the office, and the craftsmen were just about to go back, but they were stopped by Xu Jingzong.
"You can't go yet!" Xu Jingzong's face was as gloomy as Li Su.
"Yes."
"Come, as the Lord Governor has just commanded. You turn around and pout your ass again......"
A craftsman boldly said, "Young Eunuch Xu." We owe it to talk about the aunt of the supervisor, we should be beaten and punished, we admit it, but ...... This has nothing to do with you, young eunuch. ”
"Relevant." Xu Jingzong replied in the affirmative.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Jingzong said slowly: "Because the aunt of Lord Jianzheng is unfortunate, just right, just right. It's the niece of the official......"
Looking at the embarrassed faces of the craftsmen, Xu Jingzong added: "...... Moreover, the niece of this official has a good face and good appearance, which can be described as a stunning beauty in a thousand. It's not a crooked eye and a slanted mouth. ”
The craftsmen's faces were flushed, and they became more and more embarrassed.
"Do you admit to fighting?"
"Recognize!"
…………
Xu Jingzong, who had finished kicking, looked refreshed, and when he walked to the entrance of the front hall, he suddenly remembered that Li Su's face was not very good-looking, so he hurriedly suppressed the smile on his face, revealing the same heavy expression.
When the boss is in a bad mood, it is better not to be too happy with the expression of the subordinate, otherwise the boss has a hundred ways to make your mood suddenly worse than his.
"Lord Supervisor, those few low-mouthed subordinate officials have already taught a lesson, and in the future, when the subordinate officials hear the craftsmen talking about the supervisor behind their backs, they will definitely be pumped to death."
Li Suyu sighed: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, what should I do if I smoke people to death?" ”
Xu Jingzong sent a familiar sycophant: "Lord Supervisor is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, and the officials are admired, it is time for our firearms bureau to rectify, if you encounter these broken mouths again in the future......"
"Of course you can't smoke it directly, hang it up and smoke it......" Li Su instructed absentmindedly, and then said: "Young Eunuch Xu, your niece ......"
Xu Jingzong's heart hung in the air: "What happened to my niece?" Could it be that she upset the prisoner? Adults can hang her up and smoke her! ”
Li Su squinted and swept at him, this guy is ruthless enough, and he is also ruthless to his relatives.
"Your niece's tutor is very good, and it can be seen that her mother-in-law is knowledgeable and courteous, so she can teach such a good daughter, and when she returns to the door the day after tomorrow, she will bother the young eunuch to accompany me, how about it?"
Xu Jingzong was flattered and hurriedly responded.
After talking about private affairs, Xu Jingzong began to report on official affairs again.
"The day before yesterday, the Minister of Shangshu Province specially sent someone to ask for the supervisor, at that time, the Lord of the Supervisor was busy with the wedding, and the lower official dared to go to the Shangshu Province on behalf of the Lord Supervisor, and the Minister of Housing was ordered, saying that from next month, the output of the Firearms Bureau will be halved, and half of the craftsmen in the workshop will be transferred out, and there will be other ......."
Li Suleng paused, frowned, and said, "Why?" What could be more important than making a thunderbolt? ”
Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly: "The Firearms Bureau has made more than 20,000 earth-shattering thunderbolts in the past few months, and the Ministry of War has estimated that it is enough to deal with a big war, and the craftsmen who have been transferred do have more important things to do......
"Do what?"
"陛xià...... If you want to rebuild the Daming Palace, you will be ordered to search for craftsmen and craftsmen all over the world. ”
