Text Chapter 242 At that time, Tanabata laughed at the morning glory

"It's curfew, so sir will stay in the palace tonight!"

Li Chengqian asked Yinyin, Su Youdao nodded, and put on the "fence" again.

Su Youdao is a martial artist in Yongzhou.

The crown prince Li Chengqian is about to welcome the eldest daughter of Cheng Su, the secretary of the dynasty, who is his cousin niece. In other words, Su Youdao is a cousin of the prince's father-in-law, Su Yan.

The Su family is also a family of eunuchs for generations, Su Jia's great-grandfather is the Western Wei Duzhi Shangshu, and his grandfather Su Wei is a famous minister of the Sui Dynasty, the left servant of Shangshu, and he was once named the Duke of Piguo. 's father, Su Kui, was a general doctor in the Sui Dynasty, an official to Hongluqing, and in his generation, he was the secretary of the Tang Dynasty.

However, at that time, the officials, especially the Wenchen, were originally controlled by the surname of the high gate, and almost none of them were ordinary people who jumped over the dragon gate. The ministers of the DPRK and the central government pulled out one at random, counted it up, and all of them had a very glorious history, except for the seven sects and five surnames, and the courts of other official eunuchs had nothing to brag about.

Especially Su Youdao, in the Su family, it is not a long house, and after a few generations, it has declined. He is talented and learned, and he is the most outstanding talent in the Su family for several generations, but it is not easy to become a talent.

Take the imperial examination? At this time, the imperial examination was still just taking shape, and even if the children of ordinary families were in high school, they were only serving in some idle positions, casual positions, or low-level bureaucrats, and it was impossible for them to climb up.

In fact, in the last three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, the gate lord clan still has a great influence, nearly three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, more than 400 prime ministers, of which only half climbed up through the imperial examination, and this half, the people who were born in the high family still occupy 70 percent, and the remaining part has to be attached to the high family name, or through marriage, or the establishment of alliances, or under the door......

The real children of the poor family were able to enter the government by virtue of the imperial examination, and they were all the way to the top, probably thanks to the fighting and killing of the five dynasties and ten countries, and all the surnames of the high families were killed, so that the imperial examination system was truly implemented in the Song Dynasty. At this time, the martial arts Su family did not have any advantage among the high-ranking surnames, and Su Youdao was not a descendant of the Su family, so he could not get enough resources to cultivate.

Therefore, assisting the crown prince, with the way to break free from the dragon's merits and enter the office, he has the opportunity to rank in the temple and become the prime minister. Su Youdao chose a path that was not easy, but it had more opportunities than following the step-by-step path.

The crown prince Li Chengqian sent Su Youdao out of the study, called someone over, and sent him to the guest house to rest.

Su Youdao's eyes flashed, and across the "fence", he saw Luo Badao and Su Gan Chengji, who had already rushed back. Su Youdao couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Li Yu, is the person who was pointed out by Princess Gaoyang and strayed into the prison, it turns out that he and the two are old acquaintances, but I don't know when it is dusk, he came here, what is the matter?" ”

When the prince heard what he said, he also cast his eyes on Luo Badao and the others.

Luo Badao was looking for an opportunity to talk to the prince about this matter, and immediately said: "That's the case, a fire broke out in the Goolan Courtyard of Daodaofang in the south of the city, and it burned clean. Li Yu came to know the head of the Goolan Courtyard and entrusted the two of us to make a living for the people in the Goolan Courtyard. ”

Su Gan Chengji said: "The two of us thought that the emperor was about to build the Daming Palace and needed a lot of manpower. Why don't you arrange them over, I don't know what the prince wants? ”

Li Chengqian looked at Su Youdao, and Su Youdao showed a thoughtful expression when he heard Li Yu's arrangement. However, his face is shrouded under the "fence", but others cannot see it.

Su Youdao smiled slightly and said, "Very good, so that those people have a way to make a living, so as not to give birth to chaos." For the crown prince, it is also a matter of good governance. ”

Li Chengqian saw that Su Youdao also said the same, so he nodded and said: "You guys are doing a good job, go to Yan Dajiangzao to say it when you go back, and say that it is the palace to entrust you, please arrange it!" ”

Luo Badao didn't expect things to be resolved so smoothly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly sighed in his heart: "If I am in the northwest, it will look majestic, but it is also a headache to take care of so many old and weak women and children to eat." Now you just need to move your mouth, hey! It's better to be an official! ”

************

At dinner, Yang Siqi, the host, did not show up as usual. This family is his, but no matter how you look at it, it seems that Aunt Pan, Li Yu, and Jixiang are the masters here, and Yang Siqi is just an old cow raised by this family, and he only knows how to work in the backyard without regrets.

The problem is that no one abuses him, but Yang Siqi is such a character, he studies things and forgets to sleep and eat. Three meals a day, you cook him a more complicated dish, such as stewing a fish, and picking out the thorns, he is very annoyed.

But Aunt Pan didn't want to be too wronged by this master, so she picked the fish with fewer spines to buy, stewed and carefully removed the spines, and then spread the fish on the rice. However, Mrs. Pan's kindness is estimated that Mr. Yang will not notice it, because he probably doesn't even know what to eat for dinner, and he usually looks at the drawings while picking up the rice.

Another example is to eat some melons and fruits, if you give him a pear, then he will resolutely not eat it. Because you have to hold it in your hand, you may have to leave to wash your hands because the juice may drip down and stain the drawings when you eat it, otherwise the juice will be sugary and sticky on your hands.

So Aunt Pan used well water to ice a melon, peeled the skin and removed the pulp, cut it into pieces and inserted it with a toothpick for him. In this way, Yang Siqi ate it.

But then Aunt Pan found another problem, that is, he will eat as much as you bring him. He ate while looking at the drawings, and his stomach was so round that he didn't even notice it.

In the future, Aunt Pan will prepare melons and fruits for him, and she has to pay attention to this amount. Aunt Pan often said: "This is a pig without brains." ”

However, Mr. Yang is not really brainless, he just doesn't use his brain in these places. Not to mention the strange things he made, they were a drawing he traced, and when he took it out, he got it in exchange for white silver.

But Yang Siqi is so desperate, and it's not for the silver, he doesn't care how much silver he gets, since he has Aunt Pan, he seems to have finally thrown out this brain-wasting, and fortunately he was all responsible for it to Aunt Pan, and even lost the key to the silver vault to ......

It made Aunt Pan extremely nervous, for fear that the accounts would not be understood, and the handover to others would not be clear in the future.

It was the night of Qixi Festival, a family of three reunited for dinner, Li Yu talked to his mother tonight, joked with auspiciousness, and seemed particularly active, this night, he only wanted to leave the warmth and sweetness to his relatives, and did not want to part with them in resentment and sorrow.

Pan Jiaojiao and Jixiang didn't notice any accidents, but they thought that he didn't come back yesterday, so they were very kind when they saw their family.

At night, Pan Jiaojiao ran to the backyard, crossed her waist and covered her face with her head and face scolded, and finally forced Yang Siqi, who was already tired to the point of dizziness, to sleep obediently, and then returned to her room. As soon as Pan's lady returned to the house, Li Yu followed.

He didn't want to tell his mother about his decision, but he wanted to spend more time with his mother at this moment when the future was uncertain. However, as soon as he followed up the house, he was slapped by the old lady head-on.

"You stupid boy, how old are you, what are you doing behind the old lady's ass all day. How close and intimate you are with your little daughter-in-law! Foolish! It's Tanabata today, why are you so stupid! What doesn't open up, go quickly! ”

Li Yu was kicked out by the old lady, helpless can only smile, as soon as he looked up, he saw an incense case in the courtyard, on which there are fruits, flowers, auspicious hands together, is standing in front of the incense case, silently begging to the weaver girl.

Qixi tonight to see the blue sky, morning glory and weaver girl crossing the river bridge. Every family begs to look at the autumn moon and wears tens of thousands of red silks.

Li Yu stood still under the corridor and watched quietly, the moon was as bright as frost, and the jade people under the moon.

Ji Xiang clasped his hands together, his eyes were slightly closed, his mouth was chanting, and he didn't know what he was praying for, and when the prayer was over, he picked up a nine-hole needle and a red silk thread on the incense table, and wore it seriously under the starlight and moonlight.

"Ahem!"

Li Yu waited for a while, coughed lightly, and slowly walked down the stone steps.

"Oops!"

Jixiang was startled by his cough and distraction, and the tip of the needle stabbed his finger suddenly, Li Yu was very annoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and held her finger: "How is it, is there a stabbing wound?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Jixiang hurriedly hid the needle and thread behind her, she had just pierced three holes, so she didn't want Lang Jun to see it and think she was stupid.

"It's all my fault!"

Under the moonlight, Li Yu clearly saw a drop of red blood on her fingertips, and she was a little distressed, so she hurriedly sucked her finger in her mouth. Saliva has a disinfectant effect, which is the easiest and easiest way to clean.

Jixiang couldn't help blushing because of Li Yu's intimate behavior, and his heart was sweet.

"You're begging, how's it going?"

Li Yu dragged over two brocade piers and pulled Jixiang to sit down.

Ji Xiang said: "It's ...... It's just begun, Lang Jun, go to sleep, I'll just beg to thread a needle here. ”

"I'll be with you ......"

If things go wrong, then tonight is the last reunion between the two, how can Li Yu not cherish it.

Actually, he can not go to the tragic incident of Goolan Courtyard. He didn't come out, and no one blamed him for anything, but he couldn't pass his conscience.

He saw the desperate eyes of Master Kang when his life's sustenance was destroyed, and he saw the painful appearance of Liu Yuntao's wife and daughter when they were burned to death. In fact, he didn't need to look at Boss Liu's painful expression, just saw the scorched black ball hugging together, and his heart was tightly pinched.

If it weren't for his forcible intervention and cutting the face of the Tiger of the West Market, the other party might not have to use such extreme measures. He has no regrets, but he will have to do something.

Under the emperor's grace and rain, he could always think about running away, and he didn't feel grateful to Dade at all. Perhaps, so many prisoners are willing to take the initiative to return to Chang'an when the deadline comes, in addition to faith and promise, there is also a point that in their hearts, it is unreachable and high, as if the emperor of the Immortal Emperor has given them a favor, which is enough to flatter them, and they only feel that they will die for it, and it is worth dying, but he will not.

However, in the face of the grief and pain of Kang Banzhu and Liu Yuntao, he could not stay out of the matter calmly, otherwise, he would have a restless conscience for the rest of his life.

There is Li Yu sitting next to him, Jixiang is also uneasy, impetuous, the nine-hole needle tried several times without success, and then the light became darker and darker, she only wore seven holes, and she could no longer wear it, so she had to blame Li Yu, saying that he broke his own begging.

Li Yu took Jixiang in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then let's work hard to make money, and invite more needle girls at home in the future, and don't teach you to sew and mend your own clothes." ”

Jixiang leaned on Li Yu's arms, with him leaning on, and his heart was extremely ironing and steadfast. Looking up at the sky, the Milky Way hung for a long time, auspicious and stupid looked up for a while, and said softly: "At this moment, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are also like you and me, snuggling together, right?" ”

Li Yu had just picked a grape and put it in Jixiang's mouth, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the brilliant starry sky.

Jixiang's eyes were leisurely, as if he had seen the Cowherd and Weaver Girl who met on the Queqiao Bridge and cried with joy, and said faintly: "But they are not as happy as you and me." You and I can see each other from time to time, and they can only meet once a year, Queen Mother...... Tee is also ruthless. ”

Li Yu remembered the old lady who kicked herself out of the door, and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "One day in the sky, one year on the earth." For the Weaver Girl, seeing her man every day. For the Cowherd, it is a reunion of the year. In this way, the Weaver Girl is a candle in the cave every day, and she will never be snubbed by men. The Queen Mother is well-intentioned, what a great mother! ”

Jixiang only ate half of the grapes in one bite, and when he first took a bite of grapes, he only cared about beating his chest, laughing and coughing so much that he couldn't speak.

Aunt Pan was sitting under the lamp, changing her robe for Yang Siqi, and when she heard the laughter coming from the courtyard, she raised her ears in wonder: This child, Qixi beggar, shouldn't he be quiet, why is he smiling so happily.

Aunt Pan got up and wanted to take a look, but after thinking about it, she sat down again, begging, isn't it just for happiness, Qixi night, it should be so happy!

However, on this Tanabata night, Miss Long will definitely not be happy. At this time, she was standing in the court, looking up at the starry sky, her belly bulging, like a toad that had become a sperm, although her belly was not so big at this time, but ...... Maybe only the toad can be so beautiful.

"Holy damn! When will you be back? When has this been? The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have met on the Queqiao! You wait, watch the old lady kill Chang'an, and don't pick your skin! ”

The girl pointed to the sky and scolded angrily, and the two maids next to her were bluffed by her: "Miss, you are angry, be careful of the fetal gas." ”

"His father doesn't want him anymore, what kind of tire gas am I afraid of?"

The girl as a girl had apricot eyes wide open, and glared fiercely at the two maids: "Tell someone, prepare a car for me, and pick a few more that can fight, tomorrow morning, let's go to Chang'an!" ”
