Chapter 30: Caught
After understanding along the way, Li Zhonghua also knew the identities of the two flying cavalry, which were Cheng Yanjin's two sons, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang.
It is no wonder that the two of them spoke and behaved very casually in front of Li Zhonghua, a county man, the Cheng family is an emerging nobleman, and although Li Zhonghua was named a Shuangliu county man because of his invention of a method to control smallpox, he is still not a nobleman after all, just like Wu Shitong.
The title of Duke Lu can be hereditary and passed on to his son and grandson, while although the Shuangliu County male is also a title, it cannot be passed on to the next generation, this is the gap.
The two knew that there was no male host in the Horse Mansion, so it was inconvenient to disturb, and they did not enter the Horse Mansion, so they explained at the door, and asked Wu Zetian to send Li Zhonghua, so they said goodbye and left, and they had to go back to the palace to pay their errands.
Because of its special status, the palace has the right to open the gate to the street, and the gate must be opened to the square in the other officials' houses below the third grade.
As soon as the Cheng brothers left, Wu Zetian hurriedly stepped forward to close the door, and bolted, although the gate was relatively heavy, but Wu Zetian seemed to have completed it very easily, and was not as weak as an ordinary girl.
In fact, the Wu Zetian observed by Li Zhonghua, although he was very beautiful and beautiful, had a heroic spirit.
As soon as the door was closed, only a lonely man and a widow were left in the room, neither of them spoke, and the night was very quiet, only a dead wind lamp, which emitted a faint light.
"Ahem!" Li Zhonghua broke the dull atmosphere.
"Ahh Lord Li, please follow the folk girl to this side. Wu Zetian, who lowered his head, walked forward in a panic, wanting to lead Li Zhonghua.
"Ahh Xu Xu lost his sense of proportion in a panic, and the lights were dim at night, Wu Zetian tripped over something, and he was unstable, and he was about to fall forward.
This one is down, and he must be bleeding from his head.
In the midst of the crisis, Li Zhonghua strode forward, stretched out his hand to the front, and fished Wu Zetian in his arms.
In the panic, the Qi Death Wind Lantern in Wu Zetian's hand had long since been thrown into a corner, and he didn't know why it was suddenly extinguished.
Wu Zetian didn't know if he was frightened or deliberate, so he threw himself into Li Zhonghua's arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Li Zhonghua was taken aback, and when he was about to push Wu Zetian away in his arms, he heard a small cry.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhonghua felt a heat in his chest, and Wu Zetian's tears had already wet the placket on his chest.
Li Zhonghua's heart softened, after all, he couldn't bear to push her away again, and his hands gently fell on the other party's lower back.
No matter how strong Wu Zetian is in the future, the current Wu Zetian is still just a young girl after all.
After the sudden death of the warrior Tong, the pillar of the martial arts family collapsed, followed his mother Yang all the way, escorted his father's corpse to his hometown in Shanxi for burial, and then was ostracized by his half-brother, and sometimes he didn't even eat.
In desperation, the Yang family took the three sisters to Chang'an, the capital, and took refuge with their cousin Yang Shidao.
Although life has settled down temporarily, the taste under the fence is not easy, and Yang, as a person who was expelled from her husband's family, is not honorable in face, not only has a bad reputation, but is also looked down upon.
It's not that there are no subordinates in the Concubine's Mansion, but the master is weak and is bullied, and the Yang family has no right to deal with the subordinates in the Concubine's Mansion, and it is not good to always trouble the concubine and the princess, so he can only swallow his anger.
Except for being held in his father's arms when he was a child and feeling the warmth of his arms, Wu Zetian never fell into the arms of a second man.
Falling into Li Zhonghua's arms and feeling his gentle embrace, Wu Zetian felt very warm and moved, and even a girl's heart was pounding.
In Li Zhonghua's arms, she unconsciously told her own experience, her missing father, her resentment towards her two half-brothers, and her unwillingness to live under the fence.
In Wu Zetian's heart, time flew by, and the two didn't know when they sat down, and they didn't know when they fell asleep hugging each other in a daze.
Li Zhonghua also has a new understanding of Wu Zetian, it turns out that Wu Zetian's girlfriend name is Wu Yuanhua, and he ranks second among the three sisters.
Wu Zetian has been very smart and studious since she was a child, she has read a lot of books with her father, and she can also ride horses and shoot arrows, and has practiced some martial arts.
When they woke up again, the two were woken up by Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, and Yang's face was very unhappy, because their clothes were a little messy.
Not only that, but recently Li Zhonghua has become accustomed to sleeping with Yang Xue in his arms, holding Yang Xue in his arms from behind, and also getting used to putting his hand into Yang Xue's belly pocket and sleeping with a pair of things.
Obviously, the Yang family definitely saw something that should not be seen, and it is no wonder that people's faces are ugly.
In the palace, Empress Changsun, who had rested all night, felt much better.
Early in the morning, the crown prince Li Chengqian came to visit his mother in the Lizheng Palace, and after seeing that the queen mother could get up and eat, he was also very happy in his heart, and accompanied his mother to eat and chat together.
At this time, Li Shimin, who had descended from the early dynasty, also came to visit Empress Changsun.
Originally, when she saw that Empress Eldest Sun could get out of bed to eat, she was very happy, and her face was full of smiles.
But at this time, the crown prince Li Chengqian stepped forward to salute and greet him, and Li Shimin's face immediately pulled down.
"Bastard, you still have the face to say hello to your queen mother." Li Shimin said with a dark face.
"Your Majesty! What happened to Qian'er? Empress Eldest Sun stood up and said.
"Yesterday, the nephew of Zheng Quan, the servant in the East Palace, relied on Zheng Quan's support to rob the people's daughters, and actually robbed the wife of the Shuangliu County man, Yang, fortunately, the subordinates in the Shuangliu County man's mansion knew some martial arts and beat them away.
However, the Zheng family did not give up, and killed all five family members in their own house, and the anti-accusation was that the people in the men's mansion of Shuangliu County were killed, so that Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to bring the wife of the man from Shuangliu County and others to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
If it weren't for the fact that I had sent Liu Zhong to deliver the decree, Xuan Li Xiannan entered the palace to diagnose you, and stopped the development of the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable, if Li Xiannan's wife and family were humiliated, how could he be willing to do his best to diagnose you for you. ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned to the crown prince Li Chengqian and said: "As the crown prince, you favor eunuchs, and you almost killed your mother because of this, do you know that you are wrong." ”
Early in the morning, a team of officers and soldiers rushed into Zheng's mansion and took Zheng San and others away, making the people nearby applaud.
In the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, Zheng Quan, the chamberlain, was kneeling down in tears and begging the prince Li Chengqian to save his only nephew Zheng San.
"Your nephew is looking for his own death, who is he complaining about? You hurry up and disassociate yourself with him, otherwise you won't even be able to keep yourself. Prince Li Chengqian said angrily.
In the men's mansion of Shuangliu County, Yang Xue and others also got the news, knowing that Zheng San, a cancerous tumor, had finally been corrected, and their mood was much better.
Without any worries, Yang Xue's two aunts insisted on wanting to go back to Yang Mansion to live.
Li Zhonghua kept it for a while, but when he saw that he couldn't keep it, he had no choice but to agree to them.
Li Zhonghua can also fully understand their mood, fortunately, the two squares are not very far apart, and it is very convenient to move around.
In the hearts of Yang Bing and Yang Shuang, they actually didn't want to go back to Yang Mansion to live, after all, the conditions of Shuangliu County Men's Mansion were much better than those of Yang Mansion.
However, after Yang Xue promised them that they could come over to play at any time, stay for a few days, and their room would be reserved for them, they became happy and no longer objected to going back to Yang's mansion.
After everything was settled, Li Zhonghua began to prepare for winemaking, with Li Zhonghua's awakening, the old blacksmith quickly practiced an alloy iron sheet that is not easy to rust, although it is not as good as the stainless steel of later generations, but it is also very good, and it is enough to make a still for winemaking.
In addition to the 100 gold rewarded by Li Shimin before, Li Zhonghua did not have any income, as for the money from selling RMB, it was a dowry for Yang Xue, and now Yang Xue's two aunts and sisters have moved back to Yang's mansion, Yang Xue's dowry certainly belongs to Yang's mansion, why is Li Zhonghua embarrassed to stay?
The scale of the entire Shuangliu County Men's Mansion is not small, and the cost of maintaining operation is naturally indispensable, a large family, plus subordinates and servants, there are hundreds of people.
Li Zhonghua felt that he was very poor and short of money, so he had to find a way to make money as soon as possible, but he promised to give Wu Zetian an explanation as soon as possible.
There is no way, who told him to spend the night with his arms around someone's house? Although Li Zhonghua feels that he is very innocent, Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, will not believe it, but people have seen it with their own eyes, and they can still allow you to quibble.
