At this moment, he re-examined this little woman, but found that she was a little similar to Xiaoru, with the same bright eyes, able to make a thousand clever and eccentric, the same energetic, like a tireless beating flame, the same alert and capable, and the same neat.

But the difference between the two is also obvious, Xiaoru is like a cat, docile is just on the surface, but the actual temper is very weird, be careful, not light or heavy. Yingchun is like a tiger, although he is also shy, but he has the bearing of a king, and there is a thunderstorm hidden under the surface of the giggling.

The figures of the two people are the same delicate and lovely, Xiaoru pays attention to maintenance, her complexion is smooth and delicate, and her white is translucent and red. In the spring, there is no powder, advocating nature, the skin is firm and rough, and the skin is glowing with a healthy bronzer.

If Xiaoru is a spoiled delicate flower in the garden, then Yingchun is a tough grass on the side of the road that no one cares about.

"What are you thinking?"

Yingchun asked with dark eyes, hiding something strange in his heart.

Li Mao didn't understand why he compared her to Xiaoru, and although he wanted to admit it, his intuition told him that he had a little pity for this wild roadside grass. This kind of love came inexplicably, suddenly, and violently, and Li Mao's face turned red unconsciously.

"Nothing." When he saw Meng Yingchun, Li Mao suddenly had evil thoughts, and he actually had the stupid move of grabbing the grass into his arms, he hurriedly settled down, and said in the tone of the eldest brother: "I'll give you an idea, you can persuade Da Lang to send Yuanba to Dengzhou, in the future, you can use the excuse of looking for relatives in the past, run away at both ends, after a long time, everything will fall into place, and it will not hurt the old lady's heart." ”

Meng Yingchun said happily: "It is Brother Mao's high knowledge, please take care of Brother Mao in the future." ”

Li Mao's heart shook when he said "Brother Mao", and he forcibly suppressed the evil obstacles in his heart, and Li Mao fled.

Taking the ship of the Hu family trading company, Li Mao and his entourage had a smooth ride and arrived in Weibo Town in one day.

After receiving Li Mao's bill of lading of 300 yuan that day, Tian Ciling Casino was proud, won 10,000 yuan of family wealth for three consecutive days, and opened a bill for Li Mao when he was happy, with which he could get the protection of the Wei Bo garrison, and could call the post horses in Wei Bo Town anytime and anywhere.

Li Mao didn't want Wei Bojun to provide any protection, nor did he want to have anything to do with Wei Bojun, he, the Liaodong Economic Envoy, did not have any conflict of interest with Wei Bozhen, so he couldn't get involved with them.

Li Mao's ship landed in Puzhou, walked east for two more days, and stepped into Yunzhou.

Li Yacheng was ordered to greet him, and Li Yacheng returned to Yunzhou one step ahead of Li Mao, and he was able to appear here, so that Li Mao could feel a little calmer. No matter what happened in Ziqing, Li Mao is still the pride of Ziqing, and wherever he passed, local military and political officials went to the post station to greet him, and the etiquette was very thoughtful.

Since Zhenyuan left this place in the twentieth year, it has only been more than a year, which is far from being a farewell, but the change in mood is complete and subversive.

Stepping into Yunzhou City again, Li Mao's mood was very different from before, he came back, returned to his birthplace, but unexpectedly found that he had become an "outsider".

On the first day of arriving in Yunzhou, Li Shigu met Li Mao in the inner hall, and the new judge Li Gongdu personally greeted him outside the middle hall and met him with a big gift. Although it was just a joke, it made Li Mao feel a different feeling.

Li Gongdu is a very capable person, he has been in Ziqing for so many years, and he has never left the core of power. Li Mao is still unknown who is on the throne this time, Li Jing is only willing to share the information of the capital with him, and he has never said a word about everything that happened in Ziqing, and there is a shady curtain between Yunzhou and Li Mao.

Li Shigu still seems to be the same, his face and eyes are the same, after meeting, he glanced at Li Mao and said, "Chang'an has trained people, and he has become mature." ”

Li Mao said: "After a farewell year, the festival is old." ”

Li Shigu sighed: "There are too many things to worry about, you should have taken a break and reunited with your family when you came back this time, but there are many things, I'm afraid it won't go as you wish." You are now the assassin of Liaodong Prefecture and the envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy, and you can no longer be an official of Ziqing except for the Yang Dao Army, but you can't leave the affairs of Ziqing alone. Uncle Zhang was promoted to the head of the capital at night, and the sword army became a mess, you can put the military discipline in order for me, and when the training is over, come and help me. ”

Gao Mu said: "The festival marshal has been looking forward to your return, so I didn't let you go to Dengzhou, your economic strategy embassy is under construction, you first settle down in the small barracks, the shogunate team, continue to recruit according to your wishes, and Ziqing will pay 500,000 yuan in advance in terms of funds." Naturally, we have to arrest the Raising Sword Army first. Zhang Dutou has only been in office for a few months, and the Yang Dao Army has done several earth-shattering things, which is really in the limelight. In the past two months, military discipline has become more and more corrupt, and it has reached the point where it is indispensable to put things in order. ”

In his memory, Gao Mu's speech in front of Li Shigu has always been very concise, and he will never say more than half a sentence if he can finish speaking. Talking nonsense like this for a long time, Li Mao felt incredible.

"But now you are the hand-picked Liaocheng Prefecture Assassin History, Liaodong Economic Envoy, this title of Soldier and Horse Envoy of the Sword Army can no longer be given to you. You have to understand. After Gao Mu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, lowered his head and pondered for a while, looked up at Li Mao, his eyes burning:

"The affairs of Liaodong still need to be planned slowly, and there is no hurry. How to do it, we don't interfere, what is needed, you just mention it, they are all a family, and we can meet you as much as possible, ah, ha. ”

Gao Mu is making decisions for Li Shigu, which was impossible before.

In the past, the most he did was to understand Li Shigu's intentions, and then explain them to others in his own words, and he would never dare to play a little, let alone make decisions for Li Shigu.

Li Mao squinted at Li Shigu, who sat upright as usual, motionless like a mountain.

Li Mao nodded slightly, as if he had an understanding.

That night, the Ziqing Festival embassy set up a banquet for Li Mao and all the Liaodong shogunate subordinates to receive the wind and wash the dust, the etiquette was very grand, Li Shigu personally came to the scene and entered a glass of wine, and at the end of the banquet, Li Shigu quipped: "People say that Xiao Beisheng is newlywed, and he is not close to his son after a long absence, Maohua has been away from home for a year, or go home to see his wife and daughter." Let's not embarrass him. ”

Drink and feast and disperse.

Li Mao's new house in Yunzhou is not far from the Jiedu Embassy, and he fell after a short time on horseback, when there was a curfew, naturally there were guards escorted by the Jiedu Embassy, and no one was blind enough to run to ruin the fun.

"Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, and I don't kiss after a long absence", Li Mao kept thinking about this sentence, and unconsciously arrived at the door.

When Li Mao was convicted of making cloth clothes in Chang'an City because of Li Ming's death, Dongping County opened the door to Li Jiadang Street in the name of Li Shigu.

Opening the door on the street is not a matter of being rich and noble, which is undoubtedly the best reward for Li Mao's handling of Li Mao's matter.

Su Qing has already received the news of her husband's return, and at this moment, she is holding her daughter who is less than one year old, bell, and leading a group of guests and domestic servants to wait at the door. When Li Mao went to the military palace to see Li Shigu, he sent someone to come back first, and everything that should be explained has been explained, and he is waiting for the head of the family to return at this moment.

Thinking that he was about to see Li Mao, Su Qing's heart was full of mixed feelings, and his resentment instantly turned into tears in his eyes. Li Mao sat on the horse and saw Su Qing from a distance, his longing gushed out like a spring, and he couldn't wait to take his wife and daughter into his arms immediately, but in front of so many people, he could only barely restrain himself.

Her husband has become the lord of the family, Su Qing knows the etiquette, she holds her daughter and kneels down to her husband calmly, Li Mao hurriedly dismounted, knelt down on one knee and helped his wife up.

Li Mao often regarded himself as a monk, and the monks didn't care about secular etiquette, and no one cared about doing something out of the ordinary.

"Look at our daughter."

Su Qing said softly, Li Mao had actually snatched the bell from her arms first.

"This kid ...... Why is it so ugly. ”

The daughter who was thinking about it for a long time saw that she was not close at all, but stared at her fiercely with two big watery eyes. Li Mao was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but slander him, of course, in all fairness, his daughter's bell was indeed not beautiful.

"If a father says this about his daughter, she should be unhappy."

Su Qing dissatisfiedly took her daughter back and returned to her mother's arms, Bell couldn't help but be aggrieved, and she cried.

"This kid is not close to me at all, haha, haha." Li Mao smiled awkwardly.

But the next moment the bell laughed happily, Qingmo gave her a fluffy bear bigger than her, the fluffy toy was "designed" by Li Mao himself, drew the pattern, and asked Qingmo to find a skilled craftsman in Beijing to customize, a total of two, Qingmo also made one for his leopard head.

Qingmo's son Leopard Head is still swaddling at the moment, although the child's name is very domineering, but he is born with a loss, the skeleton is very thin and small, and the weak man takes a domineering name to neutralize it.

After many years, the home is no longer the original home, the layout of the house has not changed in general, but the door has opened to the street, but there is no trace of the old days in the details, and the trees in the courtyard have grown up, and the branches are luxuriant and lush. The stone steps under the porch are covered with moss, and a grape planted by Li Mao himself has now climbed all over the shelves.

There are not many memories left by this house for Li Mao, and he remembers that since it was built, he has always been running outside, and the days he spent with Su Qing here can be counted on his fingers.

Soon only the two of them were left in the courtyard, a couple of old husbands and wives who were once extremely close, but now strangers who didn't know what to say to break the embarrassment.

Su Qing is now like leading a stranger to visit his house, taking Li Mao around, patiently explaining the history, current situation and future planning of the house. In the end, she stopped in the courtyard in front of the master bedroom, there was no one around, surrounded by high walls, in this closed space, Su Qing, who was holding her stomach, was furious, she slapped Li Mao suddenly, her hand was caught by Li Mao, and before Li Mao could react, she crashed into her husband's arms, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.

The wife in her arms is still the one in her dream, she has lost a lot of weight, comparable to when she first met her, her wife's cheeks are still young and charming, a little less young girl's youth and more mature and charming, her eyes are full of crystal tears, and there are some vicissitudes of life in the clear.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'm sorry for your mother and daughter."

"It's over, it's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Su Qing found old memories in Li Mao's arms, she stroked her husband's face, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't resent you." Li Mao bit her fingers with his teeth and picked her up. (Dissertation College)
