The houses of the left and right neighbors of the Yang Mansion have been bought, and by the end of the month, the back three courtyards that were originally partitioned will also be taken back.

At this moment, Yang Siqi has recruited a group of workers, and is demolishing the old buildings of the neighbors on the left and right, and the demolished materials are stacked on the ground in different categories, and they have not been transported away for the time being, which looks a little messy. However, Yang Siqi's old house was not greatly affected, but the surrounding walls were demolished, making it empty and messy.

Li Yu returned home, as usual, he didn't meet anyone, and Yang Siqi was too troublesome to even recruit a servant, so the house was empty and there was no one. Aunt Pan and Jixiang were born in poverty, and although they have money now, they are too lazy to trouble others if they can do it themselves, so they have no intention of recruiting servants.

There are only a few people in the huge mansion, and now they are busy rebuilding the house, so it seems particularly deserted.

Li Yu saw that there was no one, so he went straight to the room where he was contrived.

Zuo recruited a little girl, busy with some things in front of her, so as not to always have to work on her mother-in-law in everything. This girl's name is Xiaoyun, she is only twelve years old, thin, a little malnourished, and her appearance is still beautiful.

She was sitting under the porch at the door, choosing green vegetables, and when she saw Li Yu, she stood up timidly, and spread her hands, not knowing what to say.

Li Yu always goes out early and returns late, this little girl has seen him twice, and she is a little afraid of this male master. Li Yu waved his hand and said, "You're busy with you." After speaking, he walked past the little girl ring and entered the inner house.

Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in Xiaomaza, and continued to choose the dishes, but he was originally humming a song quietly, but he didn't dare to sing anymore at this time.

Zuozuo was wearing a loose Yanju regular clothes, lying on his side on the couch, holding a fist-sized red hydrangea in his hand, and coaxing the child.

According to the traditional practice, a woman's confinement is very sinful. You can't eat a little salty food, you can't eat cold food, you can't take a bath, you can't wash your hair, and after a month, your hair is unkempt, and your skin rustles like sandpaper when you scratch it. I really don't know whether this confinement is to protect the mother or torture the mother.

In fact, these rules passed down from generation to generation were indeed necessary in ancient times when the conditions were extremely harsh, but with the development of the times, living conditions and human quality have been greatly improved, but these "old experiences" have been mechanically preserved and have not changed at all.

Fortunately, she was from the Western Regions, and she was half Sogdian, so Li Yu and his daughter-in-law teamed up to coax the Pan family, saying that according to the rules of Longxi, the rules of confinement were different from those of the locals. And she has the blood of the people of the Western Regions, and she is not in the way of some things that local daughters-in-law can't do.

In this era, the sound and information are not developed, and the customs of the Western Regions are like, and the Pan family does not understand, so he can bathe and dress up every day, and he has not been affected at all, and because he is a first-time mother, in addition to the brightness, there is a little more soft brilliance, unlike the little women who are confined to other people, they are like old hens holding nests, and they are unkempt.

"You're back."

When he saw Li Yu, he smiled happily.

"I'm back."

Li Yu sat down on the edge of the couch, kissed her on the cheek, and turned to look at her son.

Thanks to his mother's strong physique and favorable living environment, this kid was fully nourished, well-nourished, and energetic. Unlike some people, the newborn baby is seven or eight days old, and still closes his eyes all day, eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats.

The little guy was staring at a pair of big bright eyes, staring at the red hydrangea decorated with interest and looking at it with interest, and suddenly the red hydrangea disappeared and became the big face of Li Yu approaching.

The father and son stared at each other for a long time, the little guy clenched his fists, pouted his small mouth, and curled up like a toad with a pair of chubby legs, and spit out a bubble at the corner of his mouth.

Li Yu stretched out his hand and caught a pair of his little feet funny, and the little guy kicked hard, taking advantage of the situation to stretch a big lazy waist, and then yawned a lot, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed to sleep.

Zuo took his son into his arms, patted his body, and said to Li Yu: "The house has been demolished and built in the past few days, it is a little noisy, I want to take the child back to Xishi to live, and I am afraid that my mother-in-law will have any thoughts, do you want to tell her." ”

Li Yu said: "If the old man can't see her eldest grandson all day long, I'm afraid it won't work." Otherwise, you can go back to the West Market during the day and come back in the evening, and at night, there will be no construction here. Besides, child, don't spoil him too much, and don't sleep if you have a little movement? ”

"Well, it's just that he has to sleep a few times during the day now, and it's too noisy to sleep well." I don't want him to be too squeamish, boy. ”

She glanced at her son with a smile, in his mother's arms, gently patted by her, and the little one had closed his eyes and slept carefree.

Said smugly: "My father is going to come to Chang'an in winter, and I guess it's almost here, and I didn't marry me in style, and my father has been haunting me, and I'm a little afraid to see him." But now that I have this little guy, I'm not afraid. When my father saw his precious grandson, he must have bothered to pay attention to me. ”

Li Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Estimate the time, Lord Yuezhang should arrive in Chang'an in these ten days." By the way, what I told you about my mother, how are you doing? ”

Although Zuozuo and Jixiang are faintly divided into two factions, there are some signs of competition, but this relationship is not a tense relationship between friends and enemies after all. Li Yu didn't expect the two of them to be so good that they were too good to mix oil, but he didn't want the two of them to be too raw, so he had an idea and entrusted them with the matter of matching his mother and Yang Siqi.

In order to accomplish this task, the two daughters had to negotiate and cooperate with each other, so that the relationship between them could be much lighter. Moreover, auspiciousness is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and she is very gentle in her life, and if she doesn't touch her bottom line, this gentle kitten will never show her paws.

As for the dragon, on the contrary, she is open and clawed on the surface, and at first contact, it will only make people think that she is domineering. But if you have more contact, you will find that this girl has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she has no scheming. This is especially important because a lot of unnecessary hostility and defensiveness will dissipate in this contact.

Li Yu's hand can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and this product is also a natural conspirator. When I was in Lizhou before, there was a Ren Taishou as a strong enemy, and when I was in Longxi, there were four big Kou as opponents, and when I arrived in Xishi, there was a life-and-death whirlpool between Wang Hengjiu and Qiao Xiangrong.

When he arrived at the Propaganda Department, he had nothing to do all day, and this little caution was all used to calculate his own woman, but now it seems that the effect is really good. As soon as Li Yu asked, Long Zuozuo immediately became interested, and said excitedly:

"It's going well, I discussed it with Jixiang, and then we were each responsible for it. As for her, she is now helping Mr. Yang deal with the renovation of the mansion, and she often deals with him, so she is responsible for blowing the wind to Mr. Yang. ”

"What about my mother's side, what is her mind?"

"As for my mother-in-law, I should be responsible. Every day my mother-in-law comes to see Xiaobao, I turn around and mention Mr. Yang, at first she only listened to it as a joke, but now it is vaguely and meaningful. ”

"How do you tell?"

"Hehe, my mother-in-law always yells to eat less and lose weight, but I saw her say it, but I didn't see her doing it. I mentioned a few times that Mr. Yang seems to like her very much, and you are happy to see it, but as a son, I don't think that after my mother mentioned it, she really doesn't eat that meal every night, and the waist is gradually appearing, don't you say, the mother-in-law's waist appears, and her face becomes smaller, and she really looks younger and more beautiful. ”

Li Yu smiled: "Well, that's good! This is a big matter, but I will leave it to the two of you. ”

"Don't worry, this girl is out of the horse, how can she not even do such a thing."

When Long Zuozuo said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "However, it's true, how can you be a son, all day long calculating to let your own wife marry." If I didn't know you well, I would have thought that you were the property of Mr. Yang, who was plotting against the family. ”

Li Yu shook his head and said with emotion: "My mother was widowed when she was young, and she pulled me to grow up alone, and I suffered too much. Now that I have a family, my mother is actually not very old, only in her thirties, fifties or sixteens, how many years do I have to spend alone? Mr. Yang is also a very good person, and he will never treat his mother badly. ”

Long Zuozuo stared at Li Yu, suddenly stretched out his hand, gently stroked his cheek, and said softly: "The truth is such a truth, but how many people in the world have such thoughts as you?" I read you right, you are really a very kind and good person. ”

Li Yu grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "How can it be like touching your son's little face." I didn't misread you, the first time I saw you, you wanted to kick me to cripple with one leg, that's called a domineering. But I knew that by breaking that hard shell, you were softer than anyone else. ”

"People owe you in their last life."

Long Zuozuo flattened his mouth: "Hey! I think that at the beginning, this girl was crisscrossing Mayi Prefecture, and how many wealthy gentry and nobles chased her, but she liked you when she was born, and eloped to such a far place for you, and she was willing to be your woman, and gave birth to a son for you. ”

"That's fate."

Li Yu smiled and glanced at her slightly open chest, where a pair of fleshy white steamed buns were faintly revealed, and there was a faint milky fragrance, if it wasn't for her son in her arms, Li Yu really wanted to come up and "nibble" two bites.

"When fate arrives, everything will naturally fall into place."

Long Zuozuo glanced at him, pulled his shirt, covered the tempting deep ditch, and said, "That said, when will my mother-in-law and Mr. Yang be able to get to fruition?" One of them is wood, the other is not easy to speak, let's be juniors, it is okay to beat the side drum, and it is not good to come forward to poke this layer of window paper. ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "I was about to ask Mr. Yang to come forward and do me a big favor, and ask him to go to Qin Tianjian tomorrow." When the time comes, I just ask a person there to be a matchmaker, that person is amazing, if he comes forward to be a matchmaker, this matter is a match made in heaven, even if my mother is a little embarrassed, there is providence to cover her shame, she will agree. ”

Long Zuozuo said in surprise: "Who is it, so capable, you dare to claim to represent the will of heaven." ”

Li Yu said: "You are in the Western Regions, you must have never heard of his reputation, this person's surname is Yuan, and his name is Tiangang!" ”
