Chapter Twenty-Three: Sunset Meets Beauty
After buying horses and slaves, Li Siyuan still had more than 100 copper coins left on his body, and after seeing that it was still early, Li Siyuan took two horses and four newly bought slaves to visit the West Market, bought some living utensils and some clothes, and also added a set of clothes for each of the slaves, and also gained the family's full gratitude!
When the money was almost spent and the sky darkened, Li Siyuan embarked on the road home with a full harvest, and it was a coincidence that when the group had just left Chang'an and was less than two miles away, they happened to meet his fiancΓ©e ----- Li Sisi!
The sun is setting, the sunset is all over the sky, and the heaven and earth seem to be covered with a light yellow veil, Li Sisi is in such a scene, wearing a goose-yellow long skirt to hide in the afterglow of the sunset!
The beauty under the glow made Li Siyuan lose his mind, and it wasn't until Li Sisi walked in front of him that he came back to his senses and saluted her. In ancient times, although men and women were married, they couldn't meet if they wanted to meet like modern people, and they could date if they wanted to, Li Siyuan thought they would walk away after giving the ceremony, but when he looked up, he saw Li Sisi's shaking head looking at him with a smile!
"Girl, you have ......" The last word was not spoken, but the girl stole the conversation!
"I heard that Miss said that you are the future uncle?"
"It's down there, I don't know ....."
"Okay, okay, don't be a crepe, according to what you say, my young lady should go away, I have nothing else to do with you here, I just heard that you are a great poet, I will ask for a poem for my young lady, just as if you met my young lady for the first time and collided with her apology!"
After speaking, the girl covered her mouth and chuckled, and Li Siyuan's brain spun quickly: "This young lady, it was indeed my fault that time, I will compose a poem, and I should apologize to the young lady!" β
"Okay, you do it quickly, I want you to do it now, you can't count the previous ones!" The maid jumped to her feet excitedly and made a request!
"That's nature," Li Siyuan replied, then turned his head to the newly bought slave and said, "Xiao Tao, you go and bring my newly bought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" β
"Yes, Shaolang-kun." The little girl named Xiao Tao promised to prepare obediently!
"Is this your maid? It looks pretty good, but it's far worse than my lady! Li Sisi's maid said a word without being salty!
Li Siyuan smiled slightly: "This is the slave I just bought today, your young lady's daughter's body, naturally no one can match, even you, you are also born beautiful, there are few in the world!" β
The maid was praised by the future uncle, and a touch of red suddenly flew on her face, this is not to say that the women of the Tang Dynasty are not open enough, the women of the Tang Dynasty are not only very open, but the court also encourages those widows and single women to get married, and even set up a special official media to do these things, the reason why she blushes is because the girl is still young, and the second is because Li Siyuan ignored a point, to this kind of girl who grew up with the young lady, most of them will be to be a girl in the future, Li Siyuan ignored this, but the girl remembered it firmly!
"Lang Jun, Mo Yan is ready." Just when Li Siyuan didn't know why, Xiao Tao opened his mouth to crack the embarrassment!
"Uncle, go quickly, Miss should be in a hurry!" The maid lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Siyuan!
Li Siyuan answered and came to the side of the donkey cart, picked up the pen and wrote:
Clear and flat tone
The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon.
If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.
Although the maid is not as knowledgeable as Li Sisi, she has grown up beside Miss since she was a child, and she is also a little bit of pen and ink, and she can't help but feel very fond of this poem from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly rolled up the paper and prepared to catch up with Miss!
Seeing that the maid was leaving, Li Siyuan remembered that he didn't even know the other party's name, and hurriedly asked: "Girl, can you tell Fang's name, if there is something to find your young lady in the future, I can also find someone to find you to pass it on my behalf!" β
Li Siyuan's words meant nothing else, but they fell on the maid's ears but it was different, he thought that his uncle even took a fancy to her, and replied a little impressively: "The slave's name is Chun Tao, she is Miss's personal maid, she has grown up with Miss since she was a child, if Lang Jun has something, you can come to me directly, and I will tell you on your behalf!" After saying that, he turned his head and went to chase after his own lady!
Seeing the girl's shy appearance, Li Siyuan secretly slandered in his heart: This girl looks lively, but she is also a shy master! Li Siyuan, Li Sisi, Xiao Tao, Chun Tao, this is really not a family that does not enter the door, even the name is so similar!
Looking at the back of Li Sisi and Chun Tao leaving, Li Siyuan greeted him, and the group began to rush back to the house again!
When Chun Tao was begging for poetry, Li Sisi was not in a hurry, so Chun Tao quickly caught up with her own lady: "Miss, look, this is a poem written by your future uncle just for you!" β
"You girl, you will mess around all day long, we haven't married yet, how can you be like this in broad daylight, if you are seen and tell your father, it will definitely be another scolding!" Li Sisi complained a little about the spring peaches.
Chun Tao didn't care, the two grew up together since childhood, she naturally understood Li Sisi's thoughts: "Miss, are you saying that it's okay to be blind in broad daylight, it's okay to be blind in the dark, hehe..."
"You, you ,..." Li Sisi was a little annoyed and ready to reprimand this stinky girl.
Chun Tao didn't give her a chance: "Miss, don't worry, Chun Tao knows that she is wrong, Miss should take a look at this poem!" As he spoke, he handed over the poem in his hand to Li Sisi!
In fact, Li Sisi's heart was already curious, and she also wanted to see what she would look like in her future husband's heart, so she opened the paper and read it carefully: "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon." If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon. After reading it softly, Li Sisi's pretty face was suddenly covered with red glow!
"Miss, what did my future uncle write? Why is your face red? Chun Tao looked puzzled.
"Stinky girl, you don't know how to read, why did you come to ask me?" While angry at Chun Tao, Li Sisi carefully folded the poem in his hand and put it on his chest near his heart!
"Miss, although I am literate, I can't read the meaning of the poem, how can I be as knowledgeable and talented as you, my uncle praised you just now..... Hey, Miss, wait for me, I'm not done yet! β
Li Sisi walked towards Chang'an with joy without waiting for the maid to finish speaking, Chun Tao could only swallow back the unfinished words and chased after the young lady's back!
Humming a little song all the way, talking with the four newly bought slaves, soon Li Siyuan and his party returned home, and told the identity of the four new slaves to the Li family: this family was originally a small nobleman of Gaochang Kingdom, the Han surname was Zhao, the father was Zhao Yuanlang, the mother He Qiuju, the sister Zhao Xiaotao, the younger brother Zhao Xiaohu, the family of four originally admired the reputation of Chang'an, and was ready to come to take a look, and do some small business by the way, but who expected that they met Xiangma halfway, not only took their money and property, but also sold them to slave traders, Although he got his wish to Chang'an, he also changed from a landlord and nobleman to a slave!
Li Shi was embarrassed after hearing their experience, but since it was a slave bought back by his son, he naturally had to hand it over to his son to be the master, he looked at Li Siyuan, and Li Siyuan instantly understood what his mother meant: "Although your family's experience is pitiful, I did spend real money to buy you back, so you have to do things for me in a down-to-earth manner, if you can make some achievements, I will naturally not treat you badly, so let's do it if you can really help me do things within ten years, Now, ten years later, I will let you go home and let you go home!
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanlang and his wife and children hurriedly thanked him: "Shaolangjun is kind, and our family will follow Shaolangjun loyally." β
"I don't like other people's empty words, I want me to see your actions, let's do this tonight, there are still a few side houses in the courtyard, you can clean up and live in yourself!" Although Li Siyuan also pities their experience, firstly, this society is like this, and secondly, he is really short of manpower now, Zhao Yuanlang's arrival has temporarily solved his urgent need, but whether he can reuse it depends on his ability in the future!
This busy day passed like this, Li Siyuan lay on the bed and recalled the scene of Li Sisi stepping on the sunset and his chance encounter, and his heart was stirred and at the same time he felt a little guilty: Li Da Shixian, I plagiarized your poems again, and I hope you don't blame you, but this is not the last time I plagiarize, you should bear with me!
