Chapter 498: Go to Luoyang
The early morning sun shone in through the window, Li Xiu sat up from the bed, looked at the sunny appearance outside and couldn't help sighing, Datang was waiting and praying for snow, but this god is really evil, but there has not been a single snow since the beginning of winter, the ground is all dry and dusty a few inches thick, and all the feet are loess.

"Master, you can be regarded as awake, early this morning, the eldest princess of Tong'an came, and now the princess is receiving each other in the front hall!" Seeing Li Xiu wake up, I saw Yuechan coming over with a smile, and then helped him dress and wash.
"The eldest princess of Tong'an? What is she doing here? Li Xiu had just woken up, and his mind hadn't turned for a while.
"Hehe, the lord is in a daze, the eldest princess of Tong'an came to us, you don't need to ask, you know, it must be related to the fact that the lord and the princess went to see the lord Wang Renbiao before, after all, this eldest princess of Tong'an usually doesn't have much contact with us." Yuechan said with a smile.
After Yuechan's reminder, Li Xiu suddenly remembered that the complicated relationship between Princess An and Wang Renbiao couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, it seems that this eldest princess is really cautious, only she and Princess Pingyang went to Liangrenbiao's house twice, and she came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
However, Li Xiu will not take this kind of trivial matter to heart, he got up and moved his body at the moment, and then came to the school at home after breakfast, because there are more and more students at home, so Li Xiu simply built a school at home, in fact, it is a small courtyard dedicated to teaching, which is not very big, but it is enough for him to teach his students to study.
When Li Xiu came to the courtyard, he immediately heard the sound of reading in the school, Qi Niang was not here, and Ha'er became the elder sister of these children, so when Li Xiu was not there, Ha'er led the children to read on his behalf.
Li Xiu's students say that there are not too much, and there are no less, adding up to more than ten, but it is still not worth dividing classes, Li Xiu is teaching according to their learning level, although Ping An Lang and Jin'er are small, but they will also come to play with them every day, and sometimes they will listen to Li Xiu's lectures together, although they can't understand anything, but they still listen to it with relish.
After the morning class, a group of children were playing crazy in the yard, Li Xiu asked about the location of Princess Pingyang, and found her in her private garden, Princess Pingyang likes to send flowers and plants, so Li Xiu built a garden for her, but now there are two more bear children at home, which leads to Princess Pingyang's flowers and plants will suffer from time to time, if it was placed in the past, Princess Pingyang would definitely be angry, but now even if Jin'er or Ping'an Lang pulled out her flowers and plants in front of her, she would only smile and come forward to coax the flowers and plants over, And then replant.
"What's the matter, could it be that the eldest princess really came to Xingshi to ask for guilt?" When Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang, he found that she was sitting in the gazebo in the garden, her long eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had something on her mind.
"It's not enough to ask about Xingshi, in fact, my aunt's courage is quite small, she has a good relationship with her father, but since her father was imprisoned, she has only visited once, and I and my eldest sister invited her to go together, usually when something happens, she has never argued with others, but this time it involves her family affairs, so she came to ask about the situation." Princess Pingyang said a little tired at this time.
"What's the matter, you have something on your mind?" When Li Xiu saw the appearance of Princess Pingyang, he couldn't help but ask with concern at the moment.
"Well, it's not a concern, it's just that my aunt came to me today, and in addition to asking me about Cousin Wang, she also told me another thing, which is about my aunt's daughter, that is, my cousin." Princess Pingyang nodded at this time.
"Cousin? The eldest princess of Tong'an still has a daughter? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, he only knew that the eldest princess of Tong'an had no son, but he didn't expect that she actually had a daughter, and she was older than Princess Pingyang.
"Yes, speaking of my cousin, in fact, she is also a hard-working person, she is a few years younger than Cousin Wang, but two years older than me, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she was sent to the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui as a concubine, at the beginning my father was suspicious of Yang Guang, and thanks to my cousin in the palace to help my father speak, but in this way, even the cousin was not loved by Yang Guang, and then Yang Guang toured south, and my cousin also went south with the ship, and you also know what happened later, and since then, my cousin has cut off contact with us." When Princess Pingyang said the end, her expression was also very gloomy.
"In this way, this cousin has also made a lot of contributions to His Majesty, and His Majesty has not looked for it later?" Li Xiu was also a little speechless when he heard this, if he remembered correctly, Li Yuan seemed to be Yang Guang's cousin, and their mother was a sister, but Yang Guang actually accepted Li Yuan's niece as a concubine, this relationship is not an ordinary mess.
"My cousin is my aunt's only child, and my father naturally sent someone to look for it, but in that troubled world, even Yang Guang lost his life, not to mention an ordinary concubine beside him, but my aunt came today and told me a message about my cousin!" When Princess Pingyang said the end, she suddenly showed an excited expression and said, she had a good relationship with that cousin when she was a child, and even ate and lived together, and then the other party disappeared, she also cried for a long time for this, but she didn't expect to suddenly get news from her cousin today.
"It's really fake, it's been so many years, how could the eldest princess suddenly receive news from her daughter?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little skeptical when he heard this, not that he didn't believe it, but that Yang Guangdu had been dead for almost ten years, and his concubines were either taken captive or died in the chaos, so he didn't have much hope for the life and death of the eldest princess of Tong'an.
"In fact, when my father first ascended the throne, he also sent people around to find the whereabouts of my cousin, and Uncle Ma's Fei Nu Si has been in charge of this matter, but he has heard some very limited information, such as the Jiangdu Incident, my cousin disappeared in the chaos, I don't know whether I am alive or dead, but this time it is also a coincidence, someone actually saw a woman suspected of being a cousin in the Luoyang area!" When it came to the end, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but show a look of hope on her face.
"Has anyone seen it? How is this possible, since she is a concubine in the palace, there must be very few people who can know her in ordinary times, how can ordinary people know her? Li Xiu asked suspiciously again when he heard this.
"The husband doesn't know, this time it's actually a bit of a coincidence, there is an old servant next to my aunt, who has been serving by my aunt's side since he was young, but he is old, so my aunt bought him some land in his hometown, so that he can spend his old age with his family, but he didn't expect this old slave to pass by Luoyang when he went home, and just met a woman, he watched his cousin grow up, so he felt that the other party looked very much like his cousin, but he was old, his eyes were not very good, and he hadn't seen his cousin for many years, So I wasn't sure for a while, but I just sent someone to tell my aunt the news. Princess Pingyang explained again.
"There is such a thing, but there are many people in this world who look similar, and the old servant himself is not sure, so the other party may not be the daughter of the eldest princess, right?" Li Xiu still had some unbelief when he heard this, after all, even Yang Guang died in the Jiangdu Rebellion, the possibility of a weak woman surviving was too small, and if the other party was alive, why didn't he contact the eldest princess of Tong'an for so many years?
"I also have such worries, but my aunt only has such an only daughter, and she usually bursts into tears whenever she thinks of what happened to her cousin, so no matter how little hope she has, she will not give up!" When Princess Pingyang said the end, she couldn't help but sigh again.
"I see, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and the eldest princess is indeed a little pitiful." Li Xiu also said with some emotion.
"Yes, my aunt decided to run in person this time, whether it was or not, she did her best, in fact, if it wasn't for Jin'er at home to take care of, I would also like to run with my aunt!" When Princess Pingyang said the end, she also sighed with some regret and said, she only has such a cousin, but unfortunately she has children to take care of at home, so she can't leave at all.
"Xiuning, since you want to go, why don't we go with the eldest princess together!" Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up at this time, and then he proposed very excitedly.
"One...... Going together? Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be very surprised when she heard Li Xiu's words.
"Yes, since the woman who is suspected of being your cousin appeared in Luoyang, it just so happens that I have never been to Luoyang, I heard that it is a prosperous place second only to Chang'an, and I have also admired the name for a long time, and it is not good for children to stay at home all the time, it is better to take them out to see the world, and by the way, I can also accompany the eldest princess to find your cousin!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.
Li Xiu is also very bored, so he thought of the idea of traveling, in addition, after he crossed to the Tang Dynasty, he did rarely go far away, and it can even be said that he has been near Chang'an, not even Luoyang, which is not far from Chang'an, has never been to Luoyang, the famous Luoyang Longmen Grottoes in later generations, now seems to be being excavated, the scale is certainly not as big as in later generations, but it is not as damaged as in later generations, just to open your eyes.
Hearing Li Xiu's proposal to go to Luoyang to play, she can also find her cousin's whereabouts casually, which made Princess Pingyang also very excited, but she is not the only hostess in this family, so after thinking about it, she immediately pulled Li Xiu to discuss with the maid, as long as she agreed, then their family could take this opportunity to have a look.
