Chapter 161: Outer Circle and Inner Square
Chapter 161 The outer circle is the inner square
The mother and son trio rushed in.
When she came in, Grandmother Dugu was already sitting outside, and it seemed that she had received a letter and knew that Dou Hui was coming this way
After Grandmother Dugu saw Dou Hui come in, she looked Dou Hui up and down a few times, saw that she was a little plump, and knew that the other party was having a good time during this time.
If it weren't for Li Jiancheng's filial piety during this time, Dugu's grandmother would probably be jealous.
Grandmother Dugu beckoned, motioned for the mother and son to sit beside her, and then asked, "Shude can be cleared?" ”
The mother is worried, and the mother is not worried.
As soon as Dugu's grandmother opened her mouth to ask, Li Yuan was okay.
Dou Hui hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Dugu's grandmother, and said with a smile: "Shude said, I will ask Your Majesty for a favor in the next year, after all, I haven't returned home for a long time, and I want to come back to see you." ”
As soon as she heard this, Grandmother Dugu couldn't help but smile on her face, and nodded again and again: "It's good to know that you'll come back." He opened the letter as he spoke.
It's still the same as the usual letter home.
Mother:
All is well?! Everything is going well, please don't remember; You'll be home after the year, so be sure to take care of your health.
Mother, you let Mrs. spend the New Year with me, I am very happy to have relatives by my side, but unfortunately you are not around, there are many regrets.
The things you have instructed have been done, and the details will not be further stated in the letter, but I would like to ask Madame to explain them to you on my behalf.
Da Lang is getting more and more out now, and he is all taught by his mother.
The children's book was written on the night of the twenty-third day of the lunar month
In this last sentence, he clearly put a high hat on Dugu's grandmother.
Grandmother Dugu originally had a complaint in her heart about Dou Hui coming back so late.
But now Li Yuan pointed out in the letter that this little year was good, and she let this matter go.
From his last flattering words, Dugu's grandmother nodded happily.
Because Li Xiuning was there, Dugu's grandmother only said vaguely to Dou Hui:
"It's all done, it's a long journey, you go and freshen up and take a nap first, and then talk about other things."
After speaking, Grandmother Dugu looked at Li Xiuning with a smile, shook her head, and only said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Let Dugu's grandmother see her thoughts, Li Xiuning didn't feel embarrassed: "I know that grandmother, you are the best, it's not that the things in this family are causing headaches." With that, she went to help Dou Hui up and said, "Mother, let's go." ”
The mother and son came and went in a hurry, only shook off at Dugu's grandmother and left.
However, as soon as Dou Hui came out of Dugu's grandmother's birthday hall, he said to Li Xiuning: "Let your grandmother see that little bit of caution, fortunately, your grandmother is in a good mood today, otherwise I would have to talk about you." ”
"Don't you just want to talk to you about human relations, when you left before, you said that you had something to ask me to find my grandmother, but my grandmother said that I should look at the gift list of previous years and make my own ideas, mother, you also know that I don't like these." Li Xiuning frowned.
Li Jiancheng looked at the sky silently, he had also seen the thick dozen gift lists, there were so many of these seven aunts and eight aunts, and there were a lot of gifts.
Originally, Li Jiancheng wanted to help Li Xiuning, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't have anything to do with yourself, if you have that time, it is better to prevent a few more ancient books that will be useful for your future.
And these things don't need Li Jiancheng to handle, he can't stretch his hands too long as a man, otherwise it will make people feel girly.
So, he said with a smile: "Mother, it seems that the third sister has something to do with you, so I'll go back first." ”
After Dou Hui nodded, Li Jiancheng turned around and left with Li Xi, and Dou Hui's voice faintly came from behind him:
"Your grandmother still knows that my coachman asked me to take a break, why don't you know how to feel sorry for your mother and me."
"Why don't you feel distressed, wait for me to rub your shoulders and legs for your mother. And I'm also for the good of my family, in case I give the wrong gift, how bad it is......"
Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he didn't know what his cheap father wrote in the letter, so that his grandmother did not blame his mother for returning late.
Later, after Li Jiancheng had dinner with Dugu's grandmother, Dou Hui came over with Qingzhi.
Dou Hui told Dugu's grandmother in detail what happened in Luoyang, and Li Jiancheng listened on the side.
When he heard that it was the stove and honeycomb charcoal that Dou Hui sent into the palace, he adjusted his previous assessment of Li Yuan.
After Li Jiancheng read the letter written by Li Yuan just now, he felt that Li Yuan was the kind of person with a smooth temperament, but now it seems that it is not comprehensive, it should be said that he is round on the outside and square on the inside, with his own persistence and pride.
At the same time, there is a vision of judging the situation.
Li Jiancheng said that just after listening to Dou Hui, he agreed to change his martial arts and literature, and he must have ideas.
is worthy of being the founding monarch of Li Tang, so he is not as incompetent and cowardly as the historical legend!!
After listening to Dou Hui's words, Grandmother Dugu said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I don't know when the eunuch will be able to cast the furnace, I don't know if Your Majesty will like it when he sees it." ”
As she spoke, she looked at the stove on the side and said, "If you should like it, all the rooms in this house are installed, and there is no one who can't say anything bad now." ”
Two days ago, Li Rong pulled a batch of stoves and sent martial arts, and Qian Shan, who came with Li Rong to return the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop.
Qian Shan naturally came to hug the thigh of the Tang State Mansion.
Although Qian Shan inquired about it and knew that this Tang Guogong had no power now, but in the position of the young eunuch in the palace, they were all people trusted by the emperor, and there was also the Longxi Li family behind him, and he was the emperor's cousin.
The royal relatives who don't participate in the water at all!!
In the future, I will ask for a favor, ask for a recommendation or something, and only hope that my descendants will one day be able to get rid of the hundred workers, even if they are from the nine grades without money.
The imperial examination system was founded in the Sui Dynasty, formed in the Tang Dynasty, developed in the Song Dynasty, and strengthened in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the recommendation that Qian Shan asked for was a shortcut to change shotguns at this time.
Because of his request, Qian Shan, a small workshop owner, agreed without hesitation when he heard Li Jiancheng say that he would give him three thousandths of the profit.
After Dugu's grandmother knew about it at the time, she felt that she had given less, Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Grandmother's business, he will not lose money, and when it really works, don't say that I am extravagant and give too much silver." ”
Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, Dugu's grandmother stopped talking about it.
Then Li Jiancheng proposed: "Grandmother, you see that this idea was thought of by me, and I will return the profit in the future, can you talk to my mother, and don't get stuck with my silver when the time comes." ”
After all, there is no separation, and Li Jiancheng can't enjoy it exclusively when he earns back this silver.
Grandmother Dugu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Then how much do you want?!" ”
The old grandmother plans to give Li Jiancheng the money she has saved all her life, and she is willing to meet Li Jiancheng's small request. (To be continued)
