Chapter 728: Visiting the Door to Confess Relatives (Part II)
For ordinary people, even if they are not ecstatic, they will at least smile, and what is happy is not the word "uncle", but "high and powerful". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info countless people have had similar dreams, a relative suddenly appeared in poverty, old and frail, rich and cancer, no time and no children, only himself such a distant orphan relative, all the property in his name was given to him and so on.
The dream is indeed very beautiful, and the extension of this dream is, what kind of posture should I use to spend this inheritance, how many big villas should I buy, how many expensive sports cars, and how many beautiful women should give me a hug......
Li Su's current situation is almost like this, inexplicably there is an extra uncle, but Li Su is not very happy.
Since coming to this era, he has always relied on his father for his life, the days have grown from scratch, and now the family is solid, there are officials and knights, all of which are obtained by his own struggle, to be honest, Li Ji's uncle is not good news for him, Li Ji has, he is not lacking, even if it is not as powerful as others, but these things Li Su is not rare, if he wants to, he will make a great contribution in a few years, and it is not difficult to make a national duke.
What's more, with such an uncle, there will be more restraints on Li Su, and from then on, people in the world will naturally tie Li Su and Li Ji together, no matter what Li Su does, the first thought of others is to pull Li Ji, wondering whether it is related to Li Ji, or whether it is Li Ji's instruction, even if Li Su has made meritorious contributions, others will inevitably wonder if Li Ji played a role in it, whether Li Su was stained with his uncle's light, and so on.
Not only that, Li Su's unrestrained words and deeds will also be restricted in the future, since his mother is Li Ji's own sister, and his father has been a personal guard who has followed Li Ji for many years, then Li Su will inevitably be branded with the Li family, this "Li family" is no longer Li Su's family, but Li Ji's family, aside from the relationship between uncle and nephew, from a political point of view, from then on, Li Su and Li Ji have both glory and loss, and Li Su will have to first stand on Li Ji's position to decide on the trade-offs in the future.
In contrast, Li Ji inevitably has the joy of picking up cheap in vain, originally Li Ji was very close to Li Su, Li Ji has always admired Li Su, Li Su has done all the things he has done over the years, he has silently watched all the things he has done over the years, at the beginning of the year Jinyang Chaos The two even fought side by side, the friendship is not deep, and Li Su has always been regarded as his own family by the military of the Tang Dynasty, several veterans love Li Su, Cheng Biting Jin sighed at home more than once why he failed to give birth to a well-behaved and capable son like Li Su, Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there are definitely not only Cheng Yanjin who have this idea.
Li Su is a low-key person, but the things he has done in the past few years are very high-profile, and he is not conspicuous on weekdays, but the generals are all cunning and cunning, and they naturally look at it silently, plus Li Su is kind and kind to the generals on weekdays, and he is also quite polite to the generals, and he is humble and gentle.
I didn't expect to become Li Ji's nephew in the end, after Cheng Yanjin spread the matter, it really made the generals of Chang'an City envious, the younger generation and relatives are not the same concept, Li Ji's family is already prominent, and now with such a capable nephew, I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult in the future.
…………
Li Ji's mansion Li Su has been here many times, every New Year's Festival over the years, Li Su always sends a car to Suzaku Street to give gifts, the owner sends two cars, and is drunk out, the west family sends two more cars, and is drunk again, others are every festival to think of relatives, Li Su is every festival can not afford to hurt, I feel like a Santa Claus like a big red envelope everywhere to scatter money, after scattering wealth was also poured into seven meat and eight vegetables before being let go, year after year.
Li Ji's house used to be one of the places where he scattered his wealth, but standing in front of Li Ji's house today, Li Su's identity is different.
The samurai on duty at the door naturally recognized Li Su, and seeing that Li Su was followed by two ox carts, the samurai suddenly showed a smile, and soon the housekeeper of the Li Mansion also greeted him, and saluted when he met, and the old butler's face was full of smiles, and his smile was wrinkled, like the last trace of delicate chrysanthemums desperately blooming before withering.
"When the old man saw Shaolangjun at first glance in his early days, he felt that you were destined for our Li family, and if you really let the old man guess, isn't it fate! The old man also often talks about Shaolangjun at home, and every time he is angry, saying that it would be good if Shaolangjun was his son, and he would definitely teach you to learn well, and a good baby has to mess with the Cheng family's gang of evil things...... Ahem, the old man lost his words, forgive the old man for being rude, and ask Shao Langjun to stay here for a while, and the old man will come out immediately......"
Li Su was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How dare you work Uncle Li to greet him, there is no such rule in the world, you must not ......"
The old housekeeper smiled: "It's already my own family, why is Shaolangjun still called Uncle Li?" It's time to change his words, the master's decision has his own reasons, and Shaolangjun has something to say to the master. ”
Turning to look at the warriors around, the old butler said majestically: "This is an acquaintance, but from now on, his identity is different, he is the nephew of the master, and he will wait to see Shaolangjun again." ”
The warriors were shocked when they heard this, and then saluted Li Su one after another, their tones were much more eager than before, and it was obvious that the treatment of the guests and their own family was completely different.
Li Su smiled bitterly and nodded in return, not waiting long, the door of Li Mansion suddenly creaked open, and a large group of people came out of the door.
Outside the door, the warriors hurriedly lined up to salute with their swords, and Li Su also bowed to the side.
Li Ji walked up to Li Su, looked him up and down for a moment with a smile, the drug lord looked at him with satisfaction, and finally nodded, turned around and looked at the old and young women and children behind, and the people behind them all nodded with a smile, looking at Li Su's eyes full of joy and appreciation.
Li Su was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The kid greets Uncle Li...... Ahem, meet my uncle. ”
Li Ji laughed, patted Li Su's shoulder fiercely, and said, "Good nephew!" The old man is blessed, and let those old killers envy him! I didn't expect you to have such a fate with the old man, and God treats the Li family well. ”
Li Su became more and more embarrassed, pointed to the middle door of the Li Mansion, and said hesitantly: "Uncle, this ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, the kid is a junior, and he can't afford to be so grand as his uncle......"
The door of the ancient big family is exquisite, usually there is a side door on the left is the normal entrance, the two doors in the middle can not be opened casually under normal circumstances, the middle door is often the order or the master marries and funerals such a major event will be opened, today is just a long-lost nephew to come to the door to admit relatives, this door is really not in accordance with the rules.
Li Ji waved his hand nonchalantly: "The eldest husband is rampant in the world, and for the rest of his life, how many deadly Shura fields have survived, why care about this worldly courtesy?" Today, the door of the Li family is not all open for you, not only to recognize you as a relative, but also to make up for the old man's guilt towards your mother......"
With a look of amazement, Li Ji sighed: "Your mother is stubborn, she has suffered a lot outside all these years, and she doesn't want to come back, the old man is sorry for her, and I'm sorry for you, so that you have suffered a lot over the years, and the old man is really ashamed......"
Li Su hung his head speechlessly.
Li Ji immediately smiled and said: "It's a good day, the old man shouldn't be disinterested, the grievances of the previous generation have been settled in the previous generation, don't worry about it, baby." ”
Li Su also smiled.
Li Ji turned sideways slightly, and the relatives and brothers and sons behind him stepped forward one after another, Li Ji pointed at them and smiled: "Come, meet your own brothers and ......."
After pulling two young people of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, Li Ji said: "These two are the sons of the old man, the eldest is named Li Zhen, last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, your family chartered Qujiang Garden, Li Zhen and you have met, and now they are on an errand in Yulin Guard, and the younger one is named Li Siwen, who is also messing around in Yulin Wei......"
Li Su stared at it, and saw that the eldest son Li Zhen was steady, and his expression was quite serious, a typical eldest son in a large family, after all, he was going to inherit the family business and title in the future, and the head of the family naturally put the most thought into the education of the eldest son.
On the other hand, the second son, Li Siwen, looks like a oily head and a smooth brain, his eyes keep rolling, his mouth is wide open when he laughs, and he keeps looking left and right, which is obviously a not very peaceful character.
Li Su was a little younger, so he saluted the two. For the eldest son Li Zhen, it is enough for Li Su to maintain respect, it is certain that Li Zhen is not a bad person, but it is impossible to be a fellow traveler with himself, the fate between people is very wonderful, the first sight of the fate became a friend and brother, the first glance felt average, and in the rest of his life, it was just a gentleman's friend who was as plain as water, Li Zhen gave Li Su the feeling that this is the case.
The second son Li Siwen is an acquaintance, this guy met Li Su a few years ago, this gang in Chang'an City, the Cheng family, the Duan family, the Fang family, etc., everyone is flawed and often messes together, Qinglou indulges in wine, hunts outside the city, and lives a full and luxurious life, this Li Siwen is one of the gentlemen who often mix with Li Su and others.
Old acquaintances, Li Su and Li Siwen still behaved in front of Li Ji, and then squeezed each other's eyes, their eyes met, and they were full of bad intentions.
Li Jizao looked at the demeanor of the two in his eyes, snorted dissatisfiedly, and said: "It seems that you have known each other for a long time, the old man's son is not angry, he has been with those gentlemen all the year round, drunk and smashed the store, and there are often things like jealousy, Li Su, although you are cousins, but you are not ruined by him......"
Li Siwen sneered: "Dad, you said the opposite, in fact, it has always been Li Su who has led the bad child......
Before he finished speaking, Li Jifei kicked Li Siwen with a kick, and Li Su blurted out: "Good footwork!" That's exactly how it should be. ”
Li Ji glared at him, turned his head and pointed at Li Siwen and said angrily: "What kind of character are you, don't you know the old man?" In the future, if the old man knows that you have caused some trouble with Li Su, the old man will definitely ...... you and you."
Li Su saw that Li Ji's cruel words were not good, so he couldn't help but carefully provide a reference: "Uncle, the Cheng family beat the child by hanging it from a tree and whipping it......"
Li Siwen's face darkened, and he looked at him with resentment. Li Zhen just wanted to laugh with a "poof", and then quickly straightened his face, looking majestic and steady, but his cheeks kept twitching.
Li Ji was angry, the atmosphere was quite serious just now, and as soon as Li Su opened his mouth, the atmosphere was completely destroyed.
Pointing at the two of them, Li Ji said angrily: "You don't have a good thing, Li Su, your ability to cause trouble is not small, if you cause trouble again in the future, the old man can justifiably whip you, you be careful!" ”
Li Su hurriedly respectfully replied.
See, what are the benefits of recognizing a relative plainly? Unwarrantedly, they have increased their personal safety risks......
Li Siwen couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw Li Su's respectful but bitter appearance, but he was seen by Li Ji again, kicked it hard, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at?" Although Li Su is in trouble, people have a lot of ability and a belly of knowledge, do you have it? ”
Li Su's cheeks also began to twitch.
I didn't expect that I had become a "child of someone else's family", and I should really go to those gentlemen in Chang'an City to visit my home.
After Li Jixun, another person came over slowly.
Li Ji pointed at him and said, "This is your second uncle, named Li Bi, who came to see him." ”
Li Su hurriedly saluted Li Bi.
Li Bi is in his early forties, his appearance is ordinary, he looks honest and honest, like a responsible person, even if he is a little restrained in the face of his juniors, he just smiled at Li Su.
looked at Li Ji, then at Li Bi, and somehow, a very old Guanzhong ballad suddenly popped up in Li Su's mind, "His eldest uncle, his second uncle, are all his uncles......
…………
The process of recognizing relatives is very bland, a few elders and brothers in the family introduced each other, it is considered to be a formality, there is no sensational scene of hugging the head and crying, the air is only filled with a faint joy of loss and regain, calm and warm, and the aftertaste is long.
Li has been to Li Ji's house a lot of times, but this is the first time to know and contact Li Ji's family so comprehensively, it feels good, and on the whole it seems to be relatively gentle and kind.
Every family has a different family style, Li Ji's family is the kind of gentle, humble, and knowledgeable family at first glance, in contrast, Cheng Biting Jin's family should probably be classified as "Dancing with Demons", and it is almost the word "Juyi Hall" hanging high in the front hall, and the styles of the two families are very different.
I can't say whether I like it or not, Li Su has a strong adaptability, and he can talk to anyone, talk to the sour and rotten literati, talk about swords and soldiers with the famous generals of the world, talk about peace and stability with His Majesty the Emperor, and talk to the old hooligans of the Cheng family...... There is no way to talk about this, Li Su consciously puts on an attitude of slaughtering every time he goes to the house.
Although the process of recognizing relatives is dull, Li Su knows that his life will be different from now on.
Whether he is willing or unwilling, he is closely tied to Li Ji's interests, if Li Ji wants to rebel in the future, if he succeeds, it is good to say, Li Su is not a problem to be a county king, if he fails and is exterminated by the nine clans, Li Su is unfortunately among the "nine clans", the kind of innocent lying gun for some reason......
This kind of feeling of being tied to death with interests is not very good, the risk is very high, and the fatal thing is that a person's name suddenly popped up in Li Su's mind, his name is "Li Jingye", he is Li Ji's grandson, Li Zhen's son, unfortunately, a few years later, he really rebelled......
If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't very familiar with Li Zhen, Li Su would have wanted to sincerely persuade Li Zhen and persuade him to throw the child into the well......
I'll talk about it later when I'm familiar with it.
********************************************************************************
After the private matter is settled, Li Su still has a lawsuit waiting for him.
The most important thing is still unresolved, the first is the Tubo Mission, since Li Su destroyed the news of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo and his relatives, the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan was hit hard, and sent so many valuable things to Li Su, I thought that everyone's relationship was advancing by leaps and bounds, not relatives are better than relatives, but I didn't expect this bastard to be so unsophisticated, not only did he not help him with the slightest strength, but stabbed him in the back.
Lu Dongzan was very sad, this feeling was like a famous prostitute in Qinglou who was not only prostituted by a bully chicken, but also robbed upside down, and lost money. As a big man in the Tubo country, Lu Dongzan has never been bullied like this in his life, which is a great shame for him.
Therefore, in the days when Li Su was imprisoned in Dali Temple, Lu Dongzan vented his anger in Chang'an City like crazy, not only scolding Li Shimin again and again, asking for severe punishment for the ministers who destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but also visited the important ministers of the court everywhere, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda, etc., were visited by him one by one, and the theme of the visit was very simple, first scolded Li Su, then asked for help, and finally pretended to be weak and wronged...... Maybe it's also really wronged.
I have to say that Lu Dongzan's wielding of these sticks is quite effective, unconsciously, the public opinion of Chang'an City was actually created by Lu Dongzan, and the reaction of the court market was quite calm, because at that time Li Su had been severely punished by Li Shimin, not only squatted in prison, but also was dismissed from office and exiled for thousands of miles, which was almost enough, but later Li Su was released by Li Shimin, and he still walked through the streets of Chang'an with a shy and tender face. After committing such a big crime, will it be okay after squatting in prison for more than ten days?
Because they were puzzled, they discussed, and dozens of inspectors who didn't know the inside story were filled with righteous indignation, and began to brew splendid articles in their stomachs, ready to be cross-examined.
With countless incomprehensible and questioning eyes, after Li Su visited Li Ji, Shi Shiran walked towards the Sifang Pavilion.
The Sifang Pavilion is repairing the house, and more than 100 craftsmen have been appointed by the Ministry of Industry to build the frame of the house, and truckloads of bricks and stones are transported to the construction site.
When Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Su instructed Wang Zhi to burn down the Sifang Pavilion, after the rebellion was pacified, the Sifang Pavilion has not been repaired, and after the peace with Tubo was destroyed, Lu Dong Zanman Chang'an shouted and cried everywhere, Li Shimin may be out of a weak heart, immediately ordered to build the burned Sifang Pavilion house.
The house is still under construction, and Lu Dongzan is still living in a temporary house next to the Sifang Pavilion.
Li Su came to the door, followed by many parts, no way, I didn't have to be so vigilant when I saw Lu Dongzan before, but who told Li Su to do something sorry for other people's friendly neighbors? (To be continued.) )
