Chapter 227: You're the Big Pit! (1 more)
The next day, the Tang calendar, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.
After breakfast, Li Yi, who was sitting quietly in the study and carefully carving the portrait of Yue'er, suddenly heard a joyful commotion outside the door:
"The lantern leans over here, yes, right here!"
"Ah Fu, you lantern, you have to hang it a little more to be symmetrical, okay, it looks much better......"
"This door god in your hand is also quickly hung up with ......"
A group of maidservants outside the door, under the guidance of the red whisk girl, made the Li Mansion full of lights, quite a festive taste of the New Year.
"Mother, this is already an order, has you started to get busy?" Hearing the voice of the red whisk girl, Li Yi shook his head with a smile.
Seeing that the big day of the first day of the new year is coming, there are only three days left, and Li Yi has no bottom in his heart, wondering if he can finish carving the puppet.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yi continued to bury his head and began to carve in earnest.
In the study, Yue'er, who was practicing calligraphy with Li Yi and was miserable for a while, heard the noise outside, Yue'er's eyes rolled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and proposed with a smile: "Childe, Madame is so busy, or ...... You let Yue'er go out to help Madame, right? ”
"Don't make excuses for me here!" Li Yi didn't look back, and said in a calm voice, "You are in the house, sit down honestly for me, just continue to practice calligraphy, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”
"Oh, Yue'er knows, Childe ......" Seeing that it was not easy for her to come up with such a good idea, she was directly interrupted by Li Yi's words, and Yue'er suddenly pouted aggrievedly.
Yesterday's task of practicing calligraphy, she was not able to complete the number, and the result was ...... It's all accumulated to this day, and Yue'er is now, paper, and her head is as big as a bell and drum.
But since Li Yi had already refused, and Yue'er saw that the puppet carved in Li Yi's hand was not someone else but her, Yue'er immediately became full of motivation, took the pen hard, and continued to practice calligraphy.
But at this moment, as the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door approached, a member of the house came to the outside of Li Yi's study quickly.
"Third son, Madame asked the villain to come and pass you a message." Jiading stopped in front of the door and said with a smile.
"Well, let's talk about it." Li Yi nodded, while continuing the carving in his hand.
Seeing this, the family knew that Li Yi was busy for a while, and he was not verbose, and said bluntly with joy on his face: "Madame said that the eldest son and the second son have sent a letter, and they will arrive in the capital at noon today. ”
Li Yi, who was carving a puppet, suddenly heard the words of the family, and his face couldn't help but be stunned.
"You mean, my two brothers are coming back for the New Year this year, and they will be able to arrive in the capital at noon?" Li Yi, who was slightly surprised, pinched the knife in his hand, and suddenly turned his head to stare at the famous family.
Jia Ding smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, Third Prince." ”
"Okay, I know, you go down and get busy first." Li Yi, who came back from surprise, nodded with a smile, then turned around with a somewhat sluggish expression, looking at the puppet in his hand in a daze.
Who Li Yi's two brothers are, Li Yi knows very well in his heart.
Naturally, it is the eldest brother Li Dejian, and the second brother Li De Award.
According to Li Yi's knowledge, Tang Dynasty officials had many holidays, and the first three days and the last three days of the first day of the Lunar New Year were the days when Tang Dynasty officials had a holiday for the New Year, but local officials were never allowed to leave the local government during the New Year.
Therefore, many local officials in the Tang State spent the Chinese New Year in the government every year.
Of course, there are also family members of local officials who went to the local government to visit in person, and stayed in the government to accompany them to celebrate the New Year.
"My two brothers, have returned to Beijing for the New Year from the local government this year?" Thinking of this, Li Yi muttered a little in his heart.
After all, in the usual years, Li Yi's two brothers have always spent the New Year in the local government.
While muttering in his heart, Li Yi had doubts at first, but when he suddenly thought that the first day of the Lunar New Year was the big day of his engagement, Li Yi understood.
It must have been given with Li Shimin's permission, otherwise, the two of them would not have the courage to rashly violate Tang Law.
It's just that when Li Yi suddenly thought that if he followed the normal historical trajectory, then his eldest brother Li Dejian, in a few years, would be innocently implicated because Li Chengqian's rebellion failed and he was too close to Li Chengqian.
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but have a little headache.
As for the second brother Li Dexian, he has always been very self-aware, knowing not to rush to stand in the queue, and decisively chose Mingzhe to protect himself, but he did not end up with Li Dejian.
"Hey......" Li Yi shook his head helplessly, and sighed leisurely.
Looking at the half-carved puppet in his hand, Li Yi said to himself with a smile: "Why are others cheating fathers and children, but there is an invisible pit in my Li Bo'an's house......"
It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Dejian is an invisible pit.
According to Li Yi's understanding of the historical trend of the Tang Dynasty, Li Dejian, who failed to rebel with Li Chengqian, would have ended up with a dead man without Li Shimin's thoughts of Li Jing's past feelings, Li Dejian, a big brother in the pit, would inevitably end up with no place to be buried.
It is precisely because of this that as a result, Li Jing, who has been evading and not asking about political affairs, even closed his door directly to thank customers, and almost didn't see anyone, which was as uncomfortable as being in prison.
"The task of saving the big brother of the pit man is a long way to go, and it is ......"
Sighing weakly, Li Yi also secretly made up his mind in his heart that if he wanted to save Li Dejian's big pit, he had to start from now on.
Otherwise, maybe not only his father Li Jing, but even himself, as well as everyone in the Li family, would be innocently implicated because of this.
At the same time, Yue'er, who was not honest in practicing calligraphy, heard Li Yi's sigh, her little curiosity rose suddenly, and she suddenly asked, "Childe, let's go to the house...... Where's the big pit? Why has Yue'er never seen it? ”
Yue'er pointed her ears and eavesdropped on Li Yi's own words, so she only heard half of them, and she didn't listen to them completely.
Therefore, she thought about it seriously in her mind, and she didn't expect that there was any big hole in the Li Mansion......
Hearing Yue'er's sudden question, Li Yi was stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yue'er.
But seeing that Yue'er was staring at herself with a curious blink at this moment, Li Yi pursed her lips angrily and scolded lightly: "You are a big pit, don't let me practice calligraphy quickly, be careful to let you practice two more times!" ”
"Ah-Yue'er knows that she is wrong, childe, Yue'er is practicing calligraphy......" Li Yi scolded like this, Yue'er was dumbfounded on the spot, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth while seriously practicing calligraphy.
Thinking that there are so many words, she hasn't practiced them all, if she adds them two more times, Yue'er doesn't know if she can still live strongly...
At the same time that Li Yi taught Yue'er a lesson, the people in the entire Chang'an City, whether they were ordinary people or people from various families, all exploded in an instant after seeing the notice printed by Yongzhou Mansion.
