Chapter 134: Nostalgia in the Past Life
Xu Jingzong was lying on the table and shrugged his shoulders, he really couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, Li Su admired his acting skills coldly, and suddenly understood why Xu Jingzong was killed by the imperial history, and now he looks like this, it is really hateful.
Xu Jingzong lay on the table and cried (laughs?). It took a long time to raise his head, and sighed in grief, there were indeed tears in the corners of his eyes, but I don't know if they were crying or laughing, Li Su was thinking about whether to report him, so that Li Shimin was angry and pushed this bastard to the end, and he would never be able to turn over.
"Let Li Xianzi see and smile, the lower official is a person of temperament, Empress Wende was virtuous and unparalleled when she was alive, praised by the government and the opposition, and the subjects were all grateful for mercy, it is really worthy of the first virtuous queen in ancient and modern times, and now the queen has died for more than a year, and the courtiers are still crying and crying."
Li Su also had no choice but to grief, an old man and a young man in the front hall were acting on the same stage, and after the grief, they looked at each other, and clearly noticed that they showed a touch of bad people and bad people's eyes, and they were very confidants.
Well, everyone is the same kind of person, and there is no need to encore it again, so we will reap the credit at the same time.
"Li Xianzi, if His Majesty sets up a firearms bureau, the lower officials can only be appointed as young eunuchs, and the prison has to be in charge of Li Xianzi himself, the Tang Dynasty has never set a precedent for a firearms bureau, and the earth-shaking thunder is also created by Li Xianzi himself, and Li Xianzi is in charge of the firearms bureau, which is complementary to each other, and the firearms bureau will definitely be able to open up the territory and make new contributions, and Li Xianzi will be able to seal the prince in the future, and then the lower officials will follow Li Xianzi to get a little brilliance......"
Li Su shook his head: "Your Majesty is already wrong to be the prince of my county, I am lazy and used to it, and I have no ambitions, and I am still young and difficult to convince the public, and it may be difficult to take the position of the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau." ”
Xu Jingzong's eyes flickered, and he considered the wording. Only then did he say slowly: "Li Xianzi, forgive Xu for saying bluntly, there has never been a lazy and leisurely person in this world, farmers are busy working, traders are busy trading, and weavers are busy weaving silk. Craftsmen are busy building houses, civil officials are busy with government affairs, military generals are busy commanding troops, and even the emperor of all times, His Majesty, is busy balancing the courtiers, promoting agriculture and encouraging labor, and subduing all nations......"
Xu Jingzong stared at him and sighed: "Even monks and Taoists have to be busy reciting scriptures every day. Serving the Buddha of Daojun, Li Xianzi, you see, how can there be a truly leisurely person in the world? Li Xianzi is still a young man who has not yet reached the weak crown, and he has made contributions to the National University, and His Majesty treats the county as a national soldier, which is when the emperor's grace and saints are in the ascendant, why did he have a twilight heart? ”
Li Su looked at him innocently: "Because I'm lazy......"
Xu Jingzong: "............"
The reason for this...... It's really underdrawn.
**********************************************************
Seeing Xu Jingzong away, Li Su's heart was completely relieved. But the last words Xu Jingzong said when he left kept echoing in his ears.
"A husband can't be without power for a day."
Xu Jingzong said this sentence very seriously, and Li Su also thought about it very seriously. First of all, he was doubting Xu Jingzong's purpose in persuading him to become an official, whether he was cheating him by saying such things, or whether it was beneficial to himself, and secondly, he was thinking about the true meaning of this sentence......
Look, stepping into officialdom is troublesome and exhausting. Anyone else has to think carefully about what they say, carefully scrutinize, and think twice about any word that a colleague says to themselves, beware of whether this sentence is a trap or not, and whether they should believe it. If you believe it, how much can you believe......
So tired, Li Su thought about it again and again, and fell asleep when he thought about it, being an official is really a drain on his brain, this is just a few words to the officialdom and he is too tired, if he really steps into the officialdom in the future, it is very likely that he will not wake up for a long time.
After Xu Jingzong left, Li Su really took a nap, woke up refreshed, and was in a good mood.
The trouble of the Xu family in Jingyang was solved, and they made one more bad friend, and ...... It seems that I haven't seen Dongyang for a long time.
After getting up, I searched around the house, and found a large piece of raw mutton marinated in advance with salt and high wine yesterday from the kitchen, Li Su carefully chopped dozens of thin bamboo skewers with a firewood knife, and then cut the mutton carefully and skewered it on the bamboo skewers, and found some fine salt, garlic, cumin, that is, cumin, and sold a lot of them on the Hu merchant stalls in Chang'an East City.
All the seasonings were wrapped together with the mutton skewers, and Li Su hurriedly ran to the river beach.
Dongyang really sat on the river beach, since he met Li Su, this habit is almost rain or shine, if there is a punch card machine by the river beach, Dongyang has won a small half a year full attendance award.
On the contrary, Li Su has often been busy recently, intermittently, Dongyang never blamed him, Li Su came and everyone sat together to talk and laugh, by the way, in a daze, an afternoon passed, Li Suruo did not come, Dongyang sat alone for an afternoon, and then returned home when the sun sank.
She is really a very quiet woman, like a lotus, and she is never suitable to grow up in the noisy world.
Dongyang saw that Li Su was in a hurry today, and after being a little surprised, his apricot eyes smiled into a crescent moon.
"What are you holding in your hands?" Dongyang looked at Li Su's hand curiously.
"Don't ask so much, come, help move the stones, build a small platform to come out, and find some dry firewood that can be burned...... Li Su gasped.
Dongyang glared at him: "You instructed the Tang princess to come, why didn't you go?" ”
"Want to eat something new? If you want to eat, go to work. Li Su's answer was very tough.
Dongyang glared at him hatefully, tried to restrain his curiosity for a long time, and finally declared failure, and moved the stones angrily.
Li Su also hung his head and was busy, under his instructions, Dongyang built a small stone platform, pushed away the guards who came forward to help, and personally picked up some dry firewood and piled it on the side of the stone platform.
The green smoke rose and the fire gradually increased, Li Su grabbed a handful of mutton skewers and put them on the fire to roast slowly, and from time to time carefully sprinkled a pinch of salt and cumin with three fingers on the mutton, and soon, a meat aroma mixed with cumin flavor wafted in the air.
Rao is Dongyang is accustomed to seeing brocade clothes and jade food, and he keeps twitching his nose at this time, Qingling's eyes rarely show a bit of greed, thinking about it, he feels too undecent, and pretends to turn his head disdainfully, but the delicate Qiong nose still twitches slightly unconsciously.
"Okay, quick, eat it while it's hot, if it's cold, it smells bad, and it won't taste good." Li Su hurriedly handed over a few freshly grilled lamb skewers.
Dongyang hesitated for a moment, seemingly struggling between reserve and appetite, and finally his appetite overcame reserve, and he opened his mouth to bite the meat skewer.
After this bite, oil flowed from the corners of the delicate and petite mouth, flowing down the corners of the red lips to the chin, Dongyang had never been so out of shape in his life, and he was suddenly a little at a loss, looking at Li Su anxiously with wide eyes.
Li Su hesitated for a moment, but finally got up reluctantly, tried to restrain her cleanliness, and wiped her mouth clean with his sleeve.
"Tsk, it's so dirty, it's clear to pay me for my clothes, forget it, lose money directly, ten times." Li Su showed a very disgusted look.
Dongyang was so angry that his apricot eyes widened, his pretty face turned red, and he wanted to scold a few words, but his mouth was stuffed with meat.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"I don't understand what you're saying, I guess it must be a promise, so it's decided." Li Su immediately changed the topic: "Is it delicious?" ”
Dongyang glared angrily, and then ...... Nodding his head in a puff.
"I'm in a good mood today, I won't charge you for mutton, I'll invite it for free, if there are two bottles of cold beer, no, a jar of cold wine, oops, Meidi is very beautiful, it's very ......."
Dongyang finally swallowed the meat in her mouth, and seeing that Li Su was in a good mood today, she was also inexplicably happy, stood up and raised her hand to beckon a guard watching from a distance, and ordered: "Go to the mansion to get the grape wine given by my father, as well as ice cubes." ”
The guards received the order and hurried away.
Li Su was a little surprised: "There are ice cubes on a hot day? Do you have a refrigerator at home? ”
"What is a refrigerator?" Dongyang glanced at him: "Big families have dug ice cellars, store clean ice and snow every winter, and they can be used in hot days, the manna hall where the father approves the affairs of the court, every summer there are ice cubes everywhere in the palace, and the inner servants use a fan, the wind is cool and swishing, you are also a county now, take advantage of the winter not to arrive, but also quickly dig an ice cellar, and you can use it next summer." ”
Li Su smiled: "No, I'm too lazy to dig, I'll use yours, use up all the ice in your princess's mansion, and don't give money when you run out." ”
"I'll use yours." - This sentence made Dongyang's face suddenly red, and he hung his head shyly, and his fingers twisted the corners of his clothes in a panic.
"You...... Do you use the ice from my house every year? Dongyang asked in a voice.
"Well, I use it every year, and you ask the people in the house to save more this winter."
Dongyang smiled, as bright as a summer flower.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell them to dig a bigger ice cellar."
The guards were very neat, and it didn't take long to bring a silver kettle of about two or three catties, two hollow carved silver cups, and an iron box, which was filled with fine pieces of crystal ice.
Put the silver kettle into the ice cubes, wait for a while and pour it into the silver cup, Li Su raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, the sour and cold liquid slid down his throat into his abdomen, and the whole body was comfortable.
"I finally found the feeling of eating skewers and drinking cold beer at the barbecue stand......" Li Su sighed leisurely, and a trace of nostalgia in his eyes slowly rose.
Dongyang looked at him quietly, and for the first time there was a puzzled light in his eyes, she didn't know why he had such a gloomy and longing gaze in his eyes at this moment.
"Do you want to know what the last time I blew with a mud-kneading instrument was sound?" Li Su suddenly asked.
Dongyang could only nod silently.
Li Su took out a strange-shaped object from his arms, approached his mouth and began to play.
The melodious and whimpering flute sounds, like a cuckoo crying blood, the sound is resentful, and even the quietly flowing river seems to be shrouded in a thick layer of sorrow.
Dongyang frowned at first, and then his brows relaxed, but there was a little sadness in his eyes, and as the tune was suppressed, the sadness became more and more intense.
After a long time, the song ended, and Li Su and Dongyang fell into a long silence.
In the end, Li Su broke the silence, raised the instrument in his hand, and said with a forced smile: "It's called the ocarina, and the song I played just now is called 'The Original Scenery of My Hometown'...... Very strange name. ”
Dongyang looked at him, as quiet as years.
Li Su smiled, lowered his head and said slowly, "I'm homesick." ”
"Your home...... Isn't it here? ”
"The home I missed, in a past life." (To be continued......)
