Chapter 44: The Night is Dark and the Wind is High [Ask for Collection, Recommend]
"I hope that I can respond to the words of my nephew, and now that Master Xuanzang is about to travel west, I won't talk about giving you an official for the time being. If a talent like a virtuous nephew is used in the future, the virtuous nephew must do his best to do things for the imperial court, and he must not delay it any longer. Brother Li told Xiantu about this earnestly, with a face that understood Xiantu's thoughts.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the court really has a place where the grass people are useful, please ask the emperor to speak, and the grass people will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire. For the sake of the Tang River for thousands of generations, the people of the whole country will respond to it. The modest Xiantu said such a mature sentence again, thinking to himself, Brother Li will definitely not force me to be an official again, although it is temporary.
"Okay, with such a sentence as a virtuous nephew, the widow will be relieved. Now I heard that the virtuous nephew is not weak, although the plan is far above the courtiers, but after all, he is still a child. It's better to wait for the virtuous nephew to become an adult, and then come to the court to be a military division. Li Shimin said as if relieved.
Seriously, there will be at least more than half a year to wait for Xiantu to weaken the crown, and then Xiantu will go out to do his business, stay away from Chang'an, and see where Li Shimin will find him. also let Xiantu be a military advisor, he didn't want to bother with that thought, originally Xiantu was a deceived lord, he really wanted him to be like Xu Maogong, who knew astronomy and geography, and it was estimated that he didn't have that ability.
"Thank you to the emperor, the grass people are grateful to Dade, and they will never give up." After thanking Li Shimin, it will not be too early. Unexpectedly, Xiantu and Li Shimin flashed in the imperial study for a long time, which let Mrs. Luo know, and she couldn't close her mouth if she wasn't surprised. It is estimated that Mrs. Luo is still worried about Xiantu at home, and it is more appropriate for Xiantu to go back early.
"Holy Lord, if there is nothing else, the grass people want to retire first. It's been out for a long time, and my mother will definitely be worried at home. "What a filial child, this Li Shimin is also a filial person, when he heard Xiantu say this, he will definitely let him go back. This is called figuring out the holy will, without these two moments, you can't mix it up in the palace at all.
"Well, the widow still wants to invite his nephew to the banquet together, since Mrs. Luo is worried at home, then you should go back early. However, when the mage travels west in three days, the virtuous nephew must come over, and I will send you an invitation, as well as the Luo family. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass people will retire first. If there is time, the grass people will definitely come to visit the emperor often. ”
"Well, good nephew, the widow will often invite you into the palace to talk."
"The grass people retreated", said as he retreated and walked out of the door, and walked out of the palace with the father-in-law outside the door.
Along the way, he regretted Xiantu, if Li Shimin had said that he would go to the banquet, then Xiantu would not have left. I haven't eaten the banquet of this court yet, and I heard that it is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. The bear's paw abalone seems to be fine, and Xiantu's uncompetitive stomach began to growl again, and Xiantu's regretted intestines were all blue. Thinking about the delicious food that didn't reach the table, saliva and tears flowed out.
Well, you say that when you're hungry, you only drool, how can you shed tears, right? Yes, but Xiantu's tears flowed for his intestines, and his intestines and stomach probably hated him to death now. If you don't shed a few tears for them, you want to feel as uncomfortable as you want to be. Well, it's uncomfortable to be hungry. PS: Flash, please don't shoot bricks.
Walking out of the palace, the sky has darkened, winter is dark so early, look at the hour, that is, more than six o'clock in the afternoon. The father-in-law sent Xiantu to the gate of the palace and walked back, leaving him alone and feeling a little like he was in a foreign country.
A gust of wind blew, and it was so cold that Xiantu sneezed, and unconsciously wrapped the python robe wrapped around his body. Several dark shadows approached him, and by the faint light outside the city gate, he vaguely saw those people walking hurriedly, and his heart suddenly felt afraid.
The night is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to commit a crime, at the foot of this son of heaven, no one will do anything to him, right? I was thinking about it, but I heard someone in the group of dark shadows say, "Is it Xiantu?" ”
This is clearly Mrs. Luo's voice, which is so good, it touches Xiantu too much. The heart that was scared just now is now full of warm feelings. Xiantu has always felt that it is not in vain to recognize Mrs. Luo as his mother, and sometimes he still thinks about how good it would be if Mrs. Luo were his own mother.
"Mother, why are you here so late?" My words were filled with excitement.
"It's really the first picture, and I waited for a long time to finally arrive." This voice is very familiar, it is the voice of the Li family brothers and Luo Tong, they are all here.
ran over in three steps and two steps, and reached out to support Mrs. Luo, who was rushing over. "Mother, it's so cold, why are you wearing so thin. Big brother, you don't say that you will add some clothes to your mother. ”
"Xiantu, you still said that, why have you been in the palace for so long, we and my mother came to wait for you early. In the afternoon, a father-in-law came out to deliver a decree, naming me as the general of sweeping the north and you as a baron, which made us all very happy. Luo Tong seemed very happy, this holy decree was passed at the right time, just to resolve their resentment of waiting outside the palace for a long time.
"Yes, Xiantu, didn't my mother sue you and told you not to talk nonsense when you get to the palace? Just now, when the father-in-law came out to deliver the decree, my mother also asked you about the situation inside, and the father-in-law only said that I had a good son, so he smiled and went back to reply to the decree. I have been suspicious and confused for a long time, and I have not been sure, and now I see you return safely, and my mother's hanging heart has finally landed. I can hear that Mrs. Luo is very concerned about Xiantu, and there is a feeling of calmness after excitement in the tone of her words just now.
"Mother, let's go back and talk about this, and I'll tell you more when I go back. Now I'm hungry, you hear your stomach growling, let's go back and finish eating! ”
"Okay, listen to my son, the sedan chair is in front, let's hurry home, my mother will cook herself today and cook a few good dishes for you." The five of us happily walked to the sedan chair over there, each sedan chair was hung on both sides of two lanterns, the lanterns were written with two big characters of Luofu, and the dim light became more and more mysterious in this winter night.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Xiantu didn't think about anything else, just thinking that he must make a pot of tea and drink after eating for a while, and talked to Brother Li for a long time, but his mouth was dry. Sitting in a sedan chair and walking leisurely towards Luofu, it was dark outside and couldn't see anything, and the dazed Xiantu fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that he had arrived in Luofu.
"First picture, first picture, wake up, it's home." Luo Tong's voice came into the sedan chair one after another, and I was eating a big meal in my dream suddenly woke up, wiped the hara that flowed from the corner of my mouth, and walked out of the sedan chair with a weak feeling.
