Chapter 311: Entrusting the Family
The first person who knew that Li Su was about to go to Xizhou was Dongyang, and even the father and Xu Mingzhu at home didn't know about it.
I don't know what kind of thoughts I have, it's very complicated, Li Su always feels that he can confess everything without scruples in front of Dongyang, any careful thinking in the dark corners, and any big rebellious words, but Li Su consciously conceals it from his father and newly married wife at home.
said to Dongyang, because she is his lover, he is completely frank in front of his lover, but to Xu Mingzhu, in his heart, Xu Mingzhu can only be regarded as a stranger who is gradually getting acquainted, it can be seen that Xu Mingzhu is working hard, she is trying to integrate into the life of the Li family, and strive to enter Li Su's heart, Li Su came out of Dali Temple when she saw her pear blossoms with rain, crying sadly, at that moment Li Su was really touched in her heart.
However, when he wanted to speak, Li Su chose to confide in Dongyang, whether it was affection or habit, Xu Mingzhu failed to enter his heart after all.
No one is wrong, Xu Mingzhu strives to do her duty as a wife, and Li Su tries hard to play the role of husband, but the invisible estrangement between the two has never been eliminated.
…………
Wang Zhi was temporarily recalled to Taiping Village by Li Su.
These days, Li Su is a fu and a prison, the days are wonderful, Wang Zhi is not idle, brothers who grew up together since childhood, have a tacit understanding for a long time, they don't even have to say hello to each other, when Li Sujindian is endowed, angering Li Shimin and imprisoned, Wang Zhi also shrank his head and fanned the flames behind the scenes, Li Su's deeds, Li Su's famous "A Fang Gong Fu", were spread by Wang Zhi in the fastest time, and the scholars and people of Chang'an City were instigated to be angry, thus also achieving Li Su's reputation.
After Li Su was released from prison, Wang Zhi came back to meet him that day. hurriedly returned to Chang'an East City, and was urgently recalled to Taiping Village by Li Su today, Wang Zhi was confused and didn't know why.
In early spring, the ginkgo trees at the entrance of the village quietly pulled out a trace of new shoots, like green stars. Dotted with the old body of the ancient tree, the rickety torso is full of vitality.
Li Su and the Wang brothers squatted under the tree, Wang Zhuan's mallet-like fingers unconsciously drew circles on the ground, Wang Zhi's eyes widened and looked at Li Su in surprise.
"Send Xizhou?" Wang Zhi scratched his head, looking confused: "What is Xizhou?" Where is it? ”
"Far away, if you go to see me at this age, you will almost be a middle-aged rough man when you go to Xizhou......"
Wang Zhi's eyes became more and more round: "Won't it?" Half my life on the road? ”
Then Wang Zhi began to count the annual rings with his hands, counting them. His expression became more and more hesitant, and it seemed that he had given up the idea of visiting Li Su in Xizhou.
"Melon coward, why are you like this? Lie to you! If it really takes half a lifetime, I will die on the road once I come and go......" Li Su glared at him, secretly worried.
With this IQ, is it appropriate to entrust the affairs of the family to him?
Putting away his worries for the time being, Li Su patiently encouraged the two melons to popularize science: "Xizhou." As the name suggests, nature is ...... to the west."
Wang Zhu cut off his words: "So, there should also be a northern state in the north?" ”
Wang Zhi smiled and said, "There must be Nanzhou in the south." Our Guanzhong is the Central Plains, and there must be Zhongzhou ......"
It's too angry, one person kicks a foot or can't understand the anger, the melon is just a little bit, but these two melons don't know the truth of hiding clumsy, and they have to show their melon side to the fullest. And to be complacent.
"To correct, Xizhou, it's called Xizhou, it has nothing to do with the direction, even if it's in the east. It is also called Xizhou, don't dwell on this name anymore, listen to me, Xizhou is more than a thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty, very far away, there will be a holy decree in the palace soon, this time His Majesty sent me to Xizhou, may be entrusted with an official position, this will be at least one or two years, more than three or four years, too long away from home, I will entrust the affairs of the family to your brothers......"
The Wang brothers straightened their waists and their expressions became solemn.
Li Su said slowly: "My father likes to tend to the fields on weekdays, there is nothing wrong with his body, the family has the income from spirits and perfumes, the family does not have to worry, your brother has nothing to do on weekdays to come to accompany him, chat with him, drink wine, and do his filial piety for me." ”
Wang Zhi nodded heavily: "Don't worry, your father is my father, and I will take care of it." ”
"If something big happens in the family, so serious that you can't solve it, you hurry to the Taoist Temple to find Dongyang, and then rush to the Luguo Mansion in Chang'an City to find Cheng Chumo, with these two people, no matter how big the matter can be solved."
Li Su's expression was serious, Wang Zhi also nodded seriously, Guanzhong people are simple, and the other party entrusts his family to him, which is a great trust, and this trust is more precious than life.
Wang Zhu has been squatting quietly beside him, this time he did not respond as generously as his younger brother, but looked a little hesitant, and he wanted to speak and stopped.
"There is also your power in the East City, although they are all ruffians and idlers, but after a few crises, I found that these ruffians can also play a great role when they should be used, you must continue to operate this territory in the East City, stop for a while I will pay you 10,000 yuan from the treasury, for you to make friends with people from all walks of life, if those Wuhou and Fang officials who patrol the streets can use money to buy, you might as well give it a try, the power of the government is the fundamental ...... for you and your subordinates to save their lives after all."
"And the one who has entered the East Palace, you have to pay close attention, to get the prince's favor, a year or two of hard work must be had, in the past two years, you might as well let it go, until the prince spoils him too much, and when he obeys, you send someone to send a letter to tell me, I have my own arrangements."
Looking at the two of them with a smile, Li Su sighed: "In the end, it's you two brothers, after I leave, hurry up and make a smart person as a friend, if you can't meet a smart person, you have to be careful and careful in the future, because I really don't want to see me go back to Chang'an in the future, and hear the bad news that you were abducted and trafficked to the mountains to be a man for an idiot woman......"
Wang Zhi heard it, and the words were cursing around the corner, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't squeak.
Wang Zhu didn't hear it, and laughed happily: "No, Datang Liguo hasn't heard about the abduction and trafficking of men, you are too worried." ”
Wang Zhi glanced at his brother with disdain.
Very good, after half a year in Dongshi, Wang Zhi is obviously much smarter than before.
Li Su breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the green starry sprouts on the top of the tree, and said with a smile: "Okay, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. ”
Seeing that Li Su had finished explaining, Wang Zhu's expression became more and more hesitant, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Li Su, Xizhou is so far away, do you have a chance to make a contribution?" ”
Li Su thought for a while and said: "Xizhou and Gaochang border, in recent years, the lord of Gaochang and my Tang Dynasty have become increasingly estranged, but they have frequently colluded with the Western Turks, robbed the passing Hu merchants and passers-by, and tried to cut off the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty several times, Xizhou is afraid that it is not very peaceful." ”
Wang Zhu's expression gradually became excited: "It means that it is not peaceful...... There may be a war, can you make a contribution? ”
Li Su and Wang Zhi immediately heard that the meaning of the words was wrong, and the two turned their heads to stare at him vigilantly.
"What do you want to do?"
Wang Zhu licked his dry lips and pleaded: "Li Su, you take me to Xizhou, just be your guard, you are a fifth-grade official, and you have the title of county viscount, it's no problem to bring a few guards, right?" In his life, a man has ambitions in all directions, how can he succumb to live in a small Taiping Village and wait for death? The second child has done a good job of helping you do things in Dongshi, is my Wang Zhu born to be just a farmer and serve the life of the crops? Li Su, take me away! ”
Li Su was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Zhu to have such ambitions, what he saw from his eyes at this moment was only a thick unwillingness, he turned his head and looked at Wang Zhi again, Wang Zhi also showed a look of shock, and then his face became more and more ugly, but he still endured it without squeaking.
"Don't bring it!" Li Su simply refused.
"Why? I've been in battle, and I've slaughtered the Tibetan thieves with my own hands, so I won't hold you back, so why don't you take me? "Wang Zhu is in a hurry.
"Xizhou is too chaotic, if you are slashed by someone, where can I find a stupid son and return it to your father? Don't bring! ”
Wang Zhu was reluctant, and said angrily: "If you don't take me, follow you, and see who dares to stop me!" ”
The corners of Li Su's eyes twitched, sighed, and then ...... It's starting to run out of water.
"If you go to Xizhou with me, can my father and aunt agree?"
"Just say hello, can my family stop me from making achievements? Maybe I will fight for my life a few times, and I can earn myself the title of county marquis like you, and give my family a face......" Wang Zhuan's eyes were full of happy longing.
"Ambitious!" Li Su praised him fiercely, coaxing Wang Zhuan to smile, then blinked, and said: "Going to Xizhou is a big deal, so let's go back and discuss it with your father and mother-in-law, and you can't run away with me without saying hello, right?" This is unkindness and unfilial piety, right? ”
Wang Zhu thought thoughtfully and nodded slowly: "You're right, you should discuss it with your family." ”
Li Su patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "The most important thing is to discuss with your mother-in-law, she is your wife, she is the pillow person, and she wants to live a lifetime together, know it with affection, move it with reason, I believe she will definitely understand the righteousness and agree to your ......"
Wang Zhu slapped his thigh excitedly: "That's right, I'll go back and tell my aunt!" ”
After saying that, Wang Zhu ran away like a gust of wind.
Li Su and Wang Zhi squatted silently under the tree, looking at his excited and forgetful back, and the corners of their eyes twitched a few times.
"You're leaving, why bother pit him again? My brother will be beaten to death by his sister-in-law......" Wang Zhi sighed deeply.
Li Su pursed his lips: "You can stop him now." ”
"What are you stopping him for? It's not like I'm beaten......"
