Such a change made Li Mao sigh and made his sister-in-law Meng Yingchun happy.

Meng Yingchun stood behind Qian Duoduo, holding his shoulder, but his eyes were always staring at Li Mao, the little girl's eyes were innocent and eager, Li Mao was a little weak by her staring, and then subconsciously began to avoid her gaze.

This caused Meng Yingchun to be a little dissatisfied, and during the banquet, she persuaded Qian Duoduo to toast Li Mao. Hu Yuchun said: "It's really nonsense, Duoduo is still a child, just replace wine with tea." ”

Meng Yingchun said: "If it was in the past, it would be fine, but today is different, Brother Mao is rare to come back, and he is in a hurry to leave when he comes, how can he be rude as a child." Besides, it's not like we haven't drunk before. ”

Qian Duoduo was quite refreshing, poured a full of wine, got up and held his forehead, and said: "The child respects his father, and wishes his father good health and smooth government affairs." He drank it all because it was so strong that the five-year-old coughed violently.

Meng Yingchun hurriedly helped him sit down, rubbed his chest and beat his back, but he was closer than a mother and son.

After a five-year-old child drank a lot of wine, he sat there, his cheeks flushed, and he was sleeping.

Meng Yingchun said goodbye and left the table with a lot of money to rest. Li Mao and Hu Yuchun talked about the conversation, and went out under the pretext of going to the toilet.

When he found Qian Duoduo in the backyard, he had already slept peacefully, and Meng Yingchun sat at the head of the bed and took care of it. Seeing Li Mao coming in, Meng Yingchun crossed his hands to the side, lowering his eyebrows and not daring to look directly.

Li Mao said angrily: "What grievances do you have coming at me, why should you embarrass a child?" ”

Meng Yingchun whispered and defended: "It's not that he hasn't drunk wine, he has drunk wine, and the old lady still praises him a lot." He can't get drunk when he gets drunk, and he doesn't have anything to do when he sleeps. ”

Li Mao's anger subsided slightly when he heard this, and Meng Yingchun continued: "When I was a child, my father told me that the amount of alcohol is actually innate, whether you can drink it or not, it is doomed in the womb of the mother. Duoduo this kid can drink, but he doesn't drink often, so it's easy to get on the hook when he drinks, I think he will be a person who will appear sooner or later, so it's better to practice from an early age. ”

When she said these words, she seemed very unconfident, her eyes were evasive, her head was always down, her cheeks were red, her eyes were red, her hands were crossed on her chest, her fingers were entwined, rubbed, and she was uneasy for a moment.

In any case, she knew very well that she had done something wrong to coax a five-year-old child to drink, and she was deeply disturbed and guilty for it.

Li Mao sighed, reached out to support her shoulder, and wanted to comfort her, but Meng Yingchun took advantage of the situation to throw himself into his arms, stood on tiptoe, and quickly pecked him on the cheek.

She was like a frightened little bird, pushing Li Mao away in a panic and escaping.

Li Mao went back to continue the feast, Hu Yuchun looked at him a little strangely, and afterwards Li Mao knew that Meng Yingchun had left a mark on his cheek, which was an irregular lip print.

This originally raunchy girl also learned to apply grease and powder at some point.

Li Mao later learned that in fact, Meng Yingchun still didn't know how to apply grease and powder, but when he learned that he was coming to Zhengzhou, he urgently learned a few things from Hu Yuchun's concubine Yuanxiu, and took out the private money he had saved on weekdays to buy a set of exquisite and expensive rouge gouache, but it was Li Mao alone.

……

Honglu Temple is one of the nine temples, in charge of foreign affairs, Honglu Shaoqing, from the fourth official, is the adjutant of Honglu Temple, but Li Mao, Honglu Shaoqing, was clearly asked not to intervene in the affairs of Honglu Temple, in fact, he is the official of the right Weiyuan military envoy.

After the Weiyuan Army was divided into two, the left army was stationed in the old camp of Anshanfang in the south of the city, and the right army camp was located in the West Forbidden Garden in the west of Daming Palace, which was a military camp of the right Shenwu army.

One of the advantages of being a forbidden army is that there is abundant food and clothing, the second advantage is to be idle, and the third advantage is to be safe, because there is no battle to fight.

After seeing the benefits of being a forbidden army, the sergeants who were shouting on the road to return to their hometowns are now at peace.

Li Mao lived in the camp for half a month, and when the soldiers were calm, he returned to his home in Jing'anfang, south of the city.

As soon as the news of Li Mao's return to Beijing came out, the old days in the city were flooded in, and in a few days, the congratulatory gifts alone filled the two houses.

"Study more at home and less out to meet guests." This is Du Huangshang's advice to Li Mao, and it is also what Li Chun meant.

Li Mao also hopes to stay at home more, many things that have happened in the past few months need to be summarized and reflected, and the entertainment sent to him outside all day is bound to not be able to calm down.

"Choosing to gain a foothold in Caozhou is a risky move, but it is not completely impossible, the reason for our failure is that our own strength is insufficient, too dependent on external forces, and the iron must be hard, the premise of four or two thousand catties is that they have to have four taels of force, if there is no four taels, you can't move a thousand catties. Where these four forces come from is still a question. At the end of this letterhead, Li Mao wrote five words: military, government, people, party, and mobilization. ”

Xiao Ru stumbled after reading what Li Mao wrote, and gently pushed Li Mao, who was resting at the desk: "Uncle brother is here." ”

Li Mao rubbed his eyes, nodded, put together the manuscript he had written, handed it to Xiaoru, stretched his waist and arms, and strode out.

Su Jing is still the main secretary in Zhongshu Province, and he is humble and does drama, and it is difficult to get out, and there will be something big to tell him in the future.

"Wang Shuwen's mother died of illness."

"Go...... Finish? ”

Li Mao's mind was blank, birth, old age, sickness and death, no one could escape the law, Wang Shuwen's mother was in her early sixties, and misfortune and fortune were imminent.

Du Fuyun: Life is rare for 70 years. In this era, you can live to be over 60 years old, which can be regarded as a high life. It's just that Wang Shuwen is in danger at the moment, and the old lady died at this time, but it made Prime Minister Wang even worse.

"In your opinion, will the Son of Heaven regain his affection?"

Su Jing shook his head and sighed, Su Jing was in favor of innovation, and he was sympathetic to Wang Shuwen's current situation.

While Li Mao was pondering, Su Jing said again: "He knows better than anyone else in his own heart, so he set up wine in Hanlin Academy this afternoon, which can be regarded as a resignation to his colleagues." Speaking of this, Su Jing's eyes lit up, he straightened his knees, and asked, "Guess who went?" ”

Li Mao said a few names, but Su Jing only nodded, afraid that Li Mao would answer the mystery, and he couldn't help revealing it first: "The fifth Shouliang also went, and he had a big quarrel with Wang Shuwen." ”

"That's kind of interesting."

Some time ago, Wang Shuwen pushed the veteran Fan Xichao out and wanted to collect the eunuchs' official power, Yang Zhilian has been silent, but the fifth Shouliang has a fierce attitude and does not hide his dissatisfaction at all.

It is said that the day after Fan Xichao returned to Chang'an from Fengtian, the Fifth Shouliang sent his subordinates to give Wang Shuwen a big gift, a beautiful gift box containing a bronze tiger talisman of the Warring States period with green rust.

The subtext of the fifth Shouliang is: Don't you want to take my military power, I'll give it to you.

After this incident, the two are incompatible. When Wang Shuwen lost power and went out, he invited his old opponent to the banquet, and Li Mao didn't know what he was thinking.

But the fifth Shouliang's frank and rough personality undoubtedly completely shattered the last bit of hope left in his heart.

Wang Shuwen is bound to be discouraged at this moment, and his heart is like stagnant water.

"Wang Ling is still running for him, and he himself does not stop, the door of his house is open, welcoming guests and friends from all over the world, and he is still dreaming of a comeback."

Speaking of which, Su Jing's intention was already very clear, he was afraid that Li Mao would not be able to distinguish the depth of the water in Chang'an City when he first arrived, so he would step into the air and fall into it in the wrong step.

Whether he kisses the family or not, Li Mao is grateful for his uncle's kindness, and forces him to stay at home for a banquet, during which Xiaoru serves wine, Su Jing saw Xiaoru and remembered his sister Su Qing, and sighed unconsciously. (Dissertation College)
