Chapter 618: Dressed up for the appointment
Drive to Nanshan and see Chang'an in the distance.
In the distance of the mountains, the outline of Chang'an City looms in the golden sunset in the evening, and the majestic city stands tall.
The cheers of the team came and went, and the joy of returning home quickly spread among the Praetorian Guards and the Li family.
Li Su also smiled, first hooked the corners of his mouth, revealed a light smile, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved, and finally laughed heartily.
Li Zhice galloped to Li Su's side and laughed: "Brother Zizheng, hurry up, let's enter the palace before the city gate is closed, and meet my father, my father is happy or can give a banquet in Taiji Palace, let's ...... Hey, Brother Zizheng! Where is Brother Zizheng going? ”
Li Su didn't bother to pay attention to him, he rode on horseback and bowed to Li Ji first, Li Ji nodded with a smile, Li Su laughed and shouted: "Fifth Uncle Fang, Wang Zhuan!" ”
"In!" The two replied awe-inspiringly.
Li Su waved his hand: "The Li family's trilogy will go home with me!" ”
"Yes!"
There was a burst of neighing, and more than 100 parts of the Li family galloped away in the direction of Taiping Village under the leadership of Li Su, leaving Li Zhi with a look of confusion and loss after being abandoned.
"Uncle Li, he ......" Li Zhi said with a sad face: "We should go to Chang'an City first, and only go home after meeting our father, why did he leave us behind?" In the future, if anyone knows about this, I am afraid that they will join him. ”
Li Ji's eyes were full of smiles, and he said, "Your Highness thinks that Li Zi is what kind of person?" ”
Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "He is a smart person, well, very smart, his words and deeds are often unexpected, there are often shocking theories, and there are also unpredictable trips...... He seems, uh, a little lazy, and does everything casually. ”
Li Ji said with a smile: "It's not that he's careless, but he actually has no interest in state affairs, the word 'family and country' is in his heart, and the most important thing is 'home', not 'country', so he would rather risk being involved, but also go home to take a look first, his family is safe and sound, he is down-to-earth, and then he will think of state ......affairs."
Li Zhi was stunned and speechless.
Li Ji said with a smile: "When His Royal Highness grows up, maybe he will understand this truth, no matter how beautiful a man is outside, after all, there are ties in his heart, some are tied to power and money, some are tied to his children's affection, and some, well, there is only one word 'home' tied to his heart, the old man is this age, he has fought countless battles for the country, and he often leaves home for several years, and he is fame and sorrowful, at this time, he introspects, but he finds that it is not as good as a young baby to live clearly......"
****************************************************************
Li Su is Li Su, and there is only this one Li Su in the world.
Li Su understands that he understands his life, and because he understands it too well, he has his uneven edges and corners, and the royal power and etiquette are in his heart, where can he compare to a lonely lamp waiting for him in the pane of his home?
The next year when the prancing horse returned home, it was expected that the Qianque would report to the high hall.
Riding on the horse, the wind whistled over the ears, the country road in front of him became more and more familiar, even the horse seemed to sense the eagerness and joy of the owner, no need to urge the horse, the sound of hooves gradually suddenly, more than 100 people rumbled towards Taiping Village, and a piece of yellow dust was raised behind them.
When Li Su and others rushed to the familiar big ginkgo tree at the entrance of Taiping Village, the villagers were already standing on both sides of the village road, saluting Li Su and others with a happy face.
When they arrived at the door of Li's house, Li Daozheng, Steward Xue and others were already looking forward to it in the open space in front of the door, while Zheng Xiaolou was still standing behind Li Daozheng with a cold appearance.
Steward Xue was not so reserved, Li Su's horse had not stopped, and Steward Xue's slightly chubby body rushed out first, reached out and grabbed the reins, and pulled Li Su off the horse, laughing and crying, while chattering and chattering.
"Master Hou is back, finally back! These days, the old man and the young lady look forward to it day and night, and they can't even smell the joy at home, and the people are lifeless one by one, and they don't dare to run away in the future, but they don't dare to ......"
Li Su threw the reins, smiled at Steward Xue, turned his head to look at his father, walked two steps quickly to Li Daozheng, knelt down on his knees, lowered his head and said, "Dad, the child is back." ”
Li Daozheng hurriedly helped him up, looked him up and down, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, all beards and tails, nothing is missing, it's good to be safe, it's good to be safe!" Haha, Lao Xue, hurry, add vegetables and meat in the house tonight, but I have suffered, my baby is hungry and thin, eat more meat to make up for it! ”
Steward Xue responded with a smile, turned around and hurriedly entered the door to make arrangements.
The father and son stood at the door to greet each other, Li Daozheng kept chanting "My baby is thin", a pair of powerful arms tightly grasped Li Su's wrist, as if he was afraid that he would disappear, I don't know how long the greeting took at the door, Li Daozheng let him go.
Li Su turned his eyes to look, but saw that in the threshold of the gate, Xu Mingzhu's eyes were red, and tears slid down his cheeks in strings, meeting Li Su's gaze, Xu Mingzhu couldn't help it anymore, stepped over the threshold and rushed towards him, ran a few steps and felt that he had lost his manners, and hurriedly changed to broken steps, and bowed in front of Li Su.
"The concubine He Fujun returned home after success, and the concubine was ...... Ah! ”
Li Suhaha laughed and hugged Xu Mingzhu, turned around a few times in place, and the surrounding tribes burst into laughter, and even Zheng Xiaolou's cold coffin face couldn't help but evoke a smile.
"In your own home, do a fart salute! Not in the future! Li Su put down Xu Mingzhu and smiled.
Xu Mingzhu was so ashamed that her head had already been buried in Li Su's arms, and she didn't dare to raise her head for a long time.
Li Su put his arm around Xu Mingzhu with one hand, and waved vigorously at the subordinates with the other: "Go, enter the house!" Today's feast, eat and drink enough! ”
The tripartite roared and laughed happily.
…………
In the inner courtyard room, Xu Mingzhu's head was still buried in Li Su's chest, her voice was choked, and her shoulders shrugged.
"The husband is really ruthless, he will be gone for three or four months, and he will not even carry a letter to his family, and the concubine will worry about you all day long......"
Li Su smiled bitterly: "At that time, Jinyang was in chaos, and the crisis was lurking, I and His Royal Highness the King of Jin were so busy that I was dizzy, and I was only worried about the punishment of the culprit, where could I take care of writing a letter to my family, I thought that the things that could be calmed down in one or two months would be three or four months, to be honest, I was also annoyed in Jinyang." ”
"After the husband left, the concubine often asked the Cheng family to help investigate the situation in Jinyang, I heard that Jinyang is dangerous, it seems that it also involves the gate valve, and it is about to rebel and attack the city, the concubine heard that the six gods have no master, and she was so scared that she couldn't do it, so she went to Chang'an City to ask Uncle Cheng to see him, Uncle Cheng asked the concubine to relax, he said...... said that Fujun is a capable person, and the small chaos in Jinyang is far worse than the danger in Xizhou, if Fujun can't even deal with this little thing, Uncle Cheng said...... It's better to die sooner, so as to save yourself from wasting food in the world and being embarrassed......"
Xu Mingzhu said with a small mouth, his expression dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Cheng...... How can you say this? ”
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng is really ...... to me Uh, have confidence, don't blame madam, stay away when we see him in the future, and we won't associate with the old disrespectful guy in the future. ”
Gently stroking the hair behind her back, Li Su said softly: "Madame, how are you doing these days?" How are you doing at home? …… Our treasury won't be empty again, will it? ”
Xu Mingzhu, who was full of the joy of winning the newlywed, suddenly broke the work, sneered, and then slapped him hard, and said angrily: "Is the concubine a loser?" If there is no illness or disaster, how can the treasury be empty? Not only is there no time, but there are a lot more than when Fujun left Chang'an, last month with the eldest grandson's family and the Cheng family's business settled again, the silver cakes in the family treasury are piled up, the concubine has been busy with my father recently, I heard that copper coins are more valuable than silver cakes, the same exchange ratio, every two silver cakes can be exchanged for three more money......"
“…… The eldest grandson's family is very simple, the perfume trade is over, and the family's account also asks the concubine if she wants to change it into copper coins and go back in a car, the concubine body thinks that after all, it is a long-term transaction between the two families, if you exchange copper coins with the eldest grandson's family, although people will not say anything, but our Hou Mansion always has the suspicion of taking advantage of others, I am afraid that the eldest grandson's family will have a pimple in his heart, and it is not good for the reputation of the husband to spread out, so the concubine only needs a silver cake when checking out, but the Cheng family ......"
happily reported the family's income, and when it came to the Cheng family, Xu Mingzhu's mouth was deflated, and he was aggrieved again: "The Cheng family has settled the account, but Uncle Cheng said that the husband is in Jinyang to quell the chaos, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the festival cannot be counted on, so Uncle Cheng himself deducted our family's twenty accounts as a festival ceremony......
Li Su was stunned for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "This ...... Shameless old rascal! ”
"And ...... Uncle Cheng said that his husband stole a big copper incense burner from Uncle Niu's house and gave it to him, but later Uncle Niu came to the door and snatched the copper incense burner, Uncle Cheng was also injured, and deducted 100 yuan from our family as compensation for the copper furnace and decoction money......"
Xu Mingzhu glanced at him with beautiful eyes, and said cautiously: "Husband, why are these uncles and uncles in Chang'an City all ...... Is it all like this? ”
Li Su didn't even bother to get angry now, so he sighed: "Husband, I will also work hard to become like this in the future, otherwise I will suffer too much." I was worried on the way back, but I didn't expect to guess it unfortunately, forget it......"
Throwing off the troubles, Li Suyi put his hands into Xu Mingzhu's shirt with not very kind hands, and said with a smile: "Madam, they all say that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, are we also newly married a few times?" ”
Xu Mingzhu was ashamed, hurriedly stood up, got rid of his clutches, and ran out in a panic: "Concubine...... The concubine went to arrange a wine banquet! ”
…………
…………
That night, the Hou Mansion feasted on the trilogy, from Steward Xue to the subordinates in the mansion, as well as Zheng Xiaolou and Fang Lao Wu and other hundreds of subordinates, all of whom were invited to a banquet by the head of the Li family.
In the open space outside the gate, there are more than a dozen large round tables made by the Li family, every ten people sit around a table, a big bowl of meat, a big jar of wine, the subordinates of the Li family and the subordinates are drunk red-faced, even the inner courtyard is specially opened for the maids who serve the master, all of them are their own families, the master and the marquis of the Li family are freaks, and they do not pay much attention to the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, the head of the family said that they are open to eat and drink, and the subordinates and the subordinates naturally do not have to be polite, and they drink darkly, and they do not know the north and the south.
After saluting Fang Lao Wu and his entourage with a few glasses of wine, hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and hastily cushioning his stomach, Li Su quietly went out under Xu Mingzhu's meaningful gaze and went straight to the river beach. Li Su knew that Dongyang must have known the news of his return home at this moment, and he also knew that Dongyang must be waiting for him anxiously in that unforgettable old place.
************************************************************************
The Taoist temple in Dongyang has been busy and chaotic.
Green willow is like a butterfly shuttling non-stop, and with the assistance of several young Taoist aunts, they are hurriedly dressing up for Dongyang.
Every time he parted, every time he reunited, Dongyang would always take off his robe for him, and then wear a beautiful dress, the woman was the one who pleased herself, and in the most beautiful Fanghua, she only did her best to bloom for him.
"What about the headdress? What about the headdress? What about the new headdress sent by the province of the temple last month? Where are you stayed? The green willow shouted loudly, the corners of his forehead were slightly sweating because of the hectic, and a pair of delicate willow eyebrows were unconsciously raised, invisibly revealing a bit of immature anger, staring at the Taoist aunts of the few waiters, and said in an aggravated tone: "It's not that I said you, you have also served Her Royal Highness the princess for several years, although Your Highness doesn't wear palace clothes on weekdays, but as a subordinate, if Your Highness wants to wear it, you must find it immediately, put it on immediately, how can you be so slack......"
"Okay, okay, green willow, you don't say a few words, I'm a monk, wear these...... It was originally inappropriate......" Dongyang said softly, his tone as gentle as ever.
Luliu's mouth deflated, and said: "Your Highness, you are the most suitable to wear palace clothes, if you wear palace clothes, you will be glamorous, and the women in the world will teach you to compare. I don't know how much stronger than the eldest lady of his family......"
"Green willows! The more you talk about it, the more unruly it becomes! Dongyang's voice was a little higher, and Luliu saw that Dongyang seemed to be angry, so he hurriedly stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say more.
"Hey, where's the headdress? Why haven't you sent it yet? You people are dead! Your Royal Highness, the slave maid went to the front yard and called a few more people to help, Marquis Li is afraid that he has already drunk the wind reception banquet at home, this time he should wait by the riverbank, Your Highness, you have to hurry, don't let Marquis Li wait in a hurry, but not too fast, you must dress up as the most beautiful and then go to see him......"
While nagging, Green Willow hurried out of the dormitory and ran towards the front yard.
It didn't take long for the Wu family and Xing'er to be pulled into the dormitory by the green willows, Dongyang faced the big bronze mirror, and when he saw the appearance of the Wu family reflected in the bronze mirror, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he heard the green willow say on the side: "Your Highness, do you remember this Wu family?" She has been a talented person in the palace, and when it comes to dressing up, I'm afraid that no one in our house understands her better than her, how about letting her dress you up? ”
With a sneer, Lu Liu said: "You have to hurry, Marquis Li can't wait!" ”
Dongyang Qiao blushed, looked at the Wu family in the mirror deeply towards the bronze mirror, and then nodded, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the Wu family's dressing up for her.
Wu has been walking on thin ice since he entered the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple, for fear of making a mistake, even his head is hanging deeply, and she dared to raise her head slightly when someone asked, and replied respectfully.
After all, it is a person who came out of the Taiji Palace, in terms of etiquette, Taoism is naturally incomparable to the palace, and the good demeanor shown by the Wu family soon made several people around her look at her with admiration, only Dongyang still stared at the careful face of the Wu family in the mirror, I don't know what it means.
Hearing Luliu mention the word "Li Houye", Wu suddenly raised his head, his eyes showed a look of joy and surprise, and then immediately returned to normal, stepped forward to coil Dongyang's long hair lightly, and fixed it with a small hairpin while coiling it.
Green willow ran out from time to time to look at the sky, and anxiously stamped his feet to urge: "Hurry up, hurry up, the willows on the moon are just the beautiful scenery of the good day, don't miss the good time of Your Highness......"
Dongyang said angrily: "Green willow, you don't have a mouth, do you want to be beaten?" ”
Green Willow grinned, and didn't take it seriously, just kept urging.
Wu Shi has been unhurried in the urging sound, but the skillful hands are really good, and soon Dongyang was dressed up by her as a beautiful look, Wu Shi while sorting out the accessories on the waist for Dongyang, while inadvertently sweeping the dressing table, but found that in the lacquered wood jewelry box of the dressing table, a somewhat old golden hairpin was lying quietly in the box, like a dusty pearl, and the surrounding hosta golden hairpins are incompatible.
Wu's eyes blinked a few times, then brushed the jewelry box with his bare hands, took a beautiful jade and wore it on Dongyang's waist, and then took a golden hairpin and prepared to insert it on Dongyang's Gao Yun bun, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Dongyang.
"Slowly, a few years ago he ...... What about the hairpin he gave me? I'm going to wear that hairpin. ”
Wu said softly: "I don't know which branch Your Highness is referring to?" ”
Dongyang's gaze returned to the jewelry box at this time, and then he said with some confusion: "Huh? I remember it was always in the box, how could it be gone......"
The corners of Wu's mouth hooked, and said, "Maybe His Highness has made a mistake, do you want to ......?"
Green willow suddenly rushed in from outside the hall at this time, and saw that Dongyang was dressed up about the same, so he grabbed Dongyang's hand and ran out.
"Oh, don't dress up, it's too late to dress up again, Your Highness go quickly, the slave will show you the way, and ask the guards in the house to set up torches to clear the way, hurry!"
Without waiting for Dongyang to react, the green willow dragged Dongyang and disappeared into the hall.
