Chapter 386: Going Home
Two owners! Two owners! Li Biao trotted and rushed to the backyard, shouting: "Steward Liu is here!" Two owners! Steward Liu is here! ”
Li Biao shouted very happily, jumping and jumping when he ran, although his mind was a little inconvenient, but he also knew that the New Year was approaching, and Liu Wuchen's housekeeper was now coming to Chang'an, which must be related to the New Year, and the day when he went home to reunite with his father and mother was not far away.
"Dust-free? Why did he come at this time? Liu Ertiao put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at Li Biao, who was still full of laughter, and then turned his head to Liu Yan, who was inking ink on the side, and asked softly: "Xiao Yan, what time is it today?" ”
"Back to the second young master, today is not the first day, today is already the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and in a few days, the New Year will be coming." Liu Yan lightly inked the dry ink, and whispered to Liu Ertiao with a hint of joy: "The dustless housekeeper must be here to ask you to go back for the New Year this time." ”
"Twenty-one? So fast? Liu Erjo muttered softly, and tried to stand up from the chair lightly, but as soon as he exerted his strength on his legs, his knees were suddenly sore, and Liu Erjo's body fell straight to the side.
"Young Master, be careful!" Xue Rengui hurriedly stretched out a hand, grabbed Liu Ertiao, put him back on the chair gently, bent over his hand, gently knocked and kneaded Liu Ertiao's legs back and forth twice, and said softly to Liu Ertiao: "I have been sitting for too long, and the weather is a little wet and cold now, and the joints and blood veins on my legs are blocked and stiff." ”
"If the young master is like this every day, sooner or later he will fall ill, which is not good for his health." When Xue Rengui gave Liu Ertiao a massage, he didn't forget to persuade softly. Since the last time he entered the East Palace and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Liu Erjo has become more and more desperate, staying in the study every day, and rarely going out again.
"Hehe, isn't there Brother Xue here, it's okay." Yanagi chuckled vaguely. Waving his hand at Liu Yan and instructed: "Xiao Yan, you and Li Biao go to the front to say hello to Steward Liu, let him wait in the hall for a while, and I will arrive later." ”
"Yes. {First Reading} Young Master! Liu Yan cautiously lowered his head and glanced at Liu Ertiao's legs, bowed in response, and led Li Biao to the front yard.
"This time, thanks to having Brother Xue by his side, otherwise. I'm afraid I'm afraid I won't be able to walk for a long time, hehe. Liu Ertiao looked at Xue Rengui, who was seriously kneading his knees, and laughed softly: "Brother Xue is not only proficient in martial arts, but also understands medical skills, and has such a great ability, no wonder Big Brother left with peace of mind." I think at the beginning, I had secretly blamed my eldest brother and left me silently. Hehe, it's just that Brother Xue has been living by my side like this all the time, and I am a little wronged by Brother Xue. ”
has been with Xue Rengui for a long time, and Liu Ertiao has also known and seen Xue Rengui's skills, in terms of martial arts, this Xue Li is no worse than the eldest brother, when Gongsun Helan and Xue Li sparred, wasn't it only the share of being beaten? Although Xue Li is inferior to Liu Ertiao, he is extremely outstanding in terms of military tactics and contingency strategy, even ten Liu Ertiao is not his opponent.
Such a person is born for war, if he is a soldier, he will be the king of soldiers, if he is a general, he will become a famous general, what he lacks is just an opportunity to be promoted.
The eldest brother really found a baby to come back, Liu Ertiao sighed in his heart more than once, and at the same time, he became more and more friendly to Xue Rengui, and never regarded him as a subordinate. Although, nominally, Xue Rengui is still his guard.
"The young master is serious!" Xue Rengui stopped what he was doing, glanced up at Liu Ertiao, and said softly: "It's still the same old saying, the food of the king, the matter of the king, when the eldest young master gave me a bite to eat when I was the poorest, I will not be ungrateful." Before the eldest young master returns, Xue Li will not let people threaten the young master's safety. ”
Xue Rengui's words are still so sonorous and powerful, which makes people sound very relieved.
"With Brother Xue by his side, the little brother's heart is also very stable." Liu Erjo tried to move his feet, and after working hard for a while, the soreness on his legs just now was gone, okay. {First Reading}
Liu Ertiao stood up, tightened his clothes on the ground, and said softly to Xue Rengui: "Okay, Brother Xue, let's also go to the front hall to see the dust-free housekeeper, count the days, I haven't seen him for nearly two months." ”
With that, Liu Ertiao stepped out of the study, followed by Xue Rengui.
Since the end of last month after some light snow, Chang'an has no rain and snow, every day is sunny, but it is also sunny and cold, as soon as you go out, all the breath is white, the whole body is swishing cold wind.
Liu Erjo shrunk his neck slightly, walked quickly through the courtyard gate, and walked towards the living room in the front yard.
"I've seen the second young master!" Look at Liu Ertiao and Xue Rengui coming in from the hall door, Liu
He came up and bent down to salute Liu Nijo.
"Well, the dustless housekeeper has worked hard all the way," Liu Ertiao nodded lightly, sat down, looked up at Liu Wuchen, and said softly: "In the past two months, everything at home is still stable?" ”
"Back to the second young master," Liu Wuchen took a step forward and replied softly: "Everything is fine at home, whether it is the 'Liu's Coal Mill' or the vegetables in the field, they are all profitable, here is the income and expenditure account book in the house in the past four months, please take a look at the second young master." ”
As he spoke, Liu Wuchen took out a book book wrapped in thick cloth from his arms, and gently handed it to Liu Ertiao with both hands.
"No need," Liu Erjo chuckled and waved his hand, "It's good for the dustless housekeeper to look at these things, I can't understand them, and I don't have much time." Or can you tell us about the purpose of your visit? ”
As time passed, Liu Erjo became more stable and tactful when he started to do things, and at the very least, he had learned how to buy people's hearts.
"Yes, young master!" Liu Wuchen glanced at Liu Ertiao with satisfaction, a smile appeared in his eyes, and gently put away the account book, Liu Wuchen bent over and said to Liu Ertiao: "The New Year is approaching, the eldest young master, and the old lady are not at home, there are some things at home that need the second young master to go home in person to preside. ”
The Liu family can be regarded as a big family now, and things like New Year's sacrifices can no longer be as simple as when they didn't reach it last year.
Not to mention inviting the gods to be evil, lighting bamboo lamps, just sacrificing to ancestors, it requires a large number of people, building ancestral halls, sculpting ancestral statues, inviting ancestors' tablets, offering incense and worshipping, praying for blessings, each of which is indispensable to Liu Ertiao, the current principal of the Liu family.
"Well, I know," Liu Erjo nodded lightly, mentioning this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, in previous years, these ancestral worship things were all taken care of by his father and eldest brother, and he didn't need to let him interfere, but now, things are wrong, and he is the only one.
"You go and let all the people in the house clean up and prepare, and we will take the carriage back early tomorrow morning." Liu Ertiao stood up and whispered to Liu Wuchen, saying, "Prepare some more gifts, I will go to the teacher and General Gongsun to say hello later, and by the way, I will give them an early year." ”
"Well, also," Liu Ertiao said again: "Prepare more things to send to the Li Mansion, after Li Ji and Commander Li were killed, the mother and son of the Li family will not have a good time." ”
"The second young master is benevolent, Wuchen will handle it immediately." Liu Wuchen bent down in response, saluted Liu Erjo, and then turned around and went out.
"Xiao Yan, what time is it?" Liu Ertiao glanced out of the door, the faint light of the sun was almost in the middle, the hour should have arrived, why hadn't that person come yet?
"Young master, it's already late then, and Miss Wang is about to arrive." Liu Yan glanced at their young master with a smile, and unconsciously, their young master seemed to be thinking about that Miss Caiyi.
"What nonsense?" Liu Erjo glared at Liu Yan with some annoyance, waved his hand at him, and said softly: "Go, go, you also go to the backyard to pack up your things, don't make trouble for me again." ”
"Yes, young master~!" Liu Yan rushed to Liu Ertiao again: | ran out of the hall door.
"Here," Xue Rengui straightened up, looked out of the hall, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile, and whispered to Liu Ertiao: "Miss Caiyi is here to bring food to the young master again." ”
Since the day Liu Ertiao met Wang Caiyi in the study of Shangshu Mansion, Wang Caiyi has developed the habit of coming to Liufu every day at noon, and every time he comes, he will bring some exquisite food to Liu Ertiao.
For a month, two months, three months, as the days passed, Liu Erjo was slightly forced to develop the habit of waiting for Wang Caiyi to send food, and whether it was in his heart or body, he seemed to have become accustomed to the feeling of having Wang Caiyi tired of being by his side.
Xue Rengui looked around, and saw that there was no danger, so when Miss Wang Caiyi entered the house, he saluted her slightly, and then automatically withdrew from the hall, guarding from a distance. Every day, and only at this time, Xue Rengui will leave Liu Ertiao three steps away-
Really. People say that they have a ticket in their waist and their hearts are determined. Even gasping for breath. Brothers support the ticket. Let Lao Liu find a little bit of a feeling of wanting to be strong
