It's boring to keep the New Year, especially the New Year's Eve with only two people, and it's even more boring to the extreme.

The maids and valets had all gone back to their rooms to pray for their own families and to keep a New Year for themselves.

In the main hall, under the tablet of Li Tao's old father Xu Gai, Li Yue'e and Li Kong knelt face to face, Li Yue'e's mouth was chattering and I didn't know what to say, it should be a prayer or something like that.

And Li Kong had already fallen asleep, it was already midnight at this time, and there were still three hours before dawn, thinking about the cold and long darkness in the second half of the night, Li Kong couldn't help but feel dizzy.

But in other words, after today, we will be sixteen years old, according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, men of this age have reached the time of the crown, in the previous life, Li Kong has seen some records about the crown, although the official explanation is that the crown is twenty years old, but many times men can be crowned at the age of sixteen, which is commonly known as the year of the weak crown.

After all, in ancient times, there were not too many men who married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, if they were not crowned at this time, the most important thing was that various internal and external factors in ancient times caused people's life expectancy to be generally not very long, similar to Li Tao, who could live to the age of the ancient, it was even rarer, and most of the years that were not confused were already dying, and it was very normal to die at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

Whether it is to increase the population or show strength, anyway, ancient people came of age very early.

But Li Kong's birthday is on March 26, so he has to wait for more than three months to be crowned, but it doesn't matter, just wait slowly, not to mention, the current Li Kong doesn't plan to be crowned so early, let alone become an official so early, too young.

And now the old people of Zhenguan Dynasty are in the prime of life, most of them are in their thirties, and there are very few people in their forties, and he is purely going up to make soy sauce now.

Of course, he can also rely on his own ability to rise quickly, but the so-called wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, he doesn't want to provoke a lot of people for no reason to 'forget' himself, now this kind of life is actually quite beautiful, make money, enjoy life, by the way, flirt with the future wife, think about the beauty of the wood?

In a daze, Li Kong, who was immersed in fantasy, actually fell asleep like this, and Li Yue, who was looking at the other side, couldn't cry or laugh.

But in the end, she didn't say anything, but took out a fur blanket and draped it over Li Kong's body to prevent him from catching a cold.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

According to custom, dumplings are to be eaten on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Or called 'wonton', the real dumplings will not gradually take shape until the Song Dynasty, and in this era, the practice of wontons is also simple to death, and there is nothing in it, almost except for mutton, it is some wild vegetables that have been cultivated, which can also be called medicinal herbs?

Li Kong had never eaten the wontons of this era, and to be honest, he was quite looking forward to those things in his heart.

Li Yue'e had already left when it was dark, and she wanted to personally take the maids in the yard to make wontons, and when Li Kong just walked out of the room, she could already smell the smell of meat wafting from afar, well, mutton, pure.

"It's still good in this era, everything is all natural, it's ...... in comparison" Li Kong behind him didn't bother to think about it, he couldn't go back anyway.

Smiled and shook his head, threw those messy thoughts out of his mind, turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen, although the phrase 'gentleman cooks far away' is quite popular now, but Li Kong has no scruples about this, if someone dares to scold him with this, he will definitely scare the other party to doubt life.

……

Different from Li Kong's relaxation, the eldest grandson Chong didn't sleep all night, he really didn't sleep, he was told by the eldest grandson queen yesterday that he was already a little irritable in his heart, and after returning home, he was severely reprimanded by the eldest grandson Wuji, and explicitly forbade him to tell him that he was not allowed to pester Li Lizhi in the future.

Changsun Chong can endure anything, but his favorite woman was snatched away like this, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't even eat early in the morning, so he angrily single-handedly killed the British government, he wanted to find Li Kong for an explanation, and he didn't even rule out the use of force to solve it.

At this time, Changsun Chong had completely forgotten how Li Kong had taught him a lesson last time, and the resentment of Li Kong for snatching Li Lizhen had shattered all reason.

"Young Master Eldest Sun, who are you looking for?" The porter was awakened by a quick knock on the door, and after opening the door, he looked at the eldest grandson Chong who was standing there in surprise and asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, let Li Kong come out to see me!" Changsun Chong's face was no different from the bottom of the pot.

When the porter heard it, did this pay it back? Hurriedly said: "Young Master Eldest Sun, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, if there is nothing to do, please go back, there is dinner at home." ”

"Okay, you dare to say that to Young Master Ben as a watchdog, do you think that Young Master Ben can't take you?" Changsun Chong's anger was hot, if it weren't for the fact that this gatekeeper was a personal guard brought out by Li Tao, and it seemed to be full of deterrence, Changsun Chong might have rushed over.

The porter was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Eldest Sun, this is the British Mansion, not your Zhao Guo Mansion, if there is anything, it is better to wait until the end of the New Year!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong gritted his teeth and looked at the porter, then looked up at the signboard of the British Mansion above his head, and sneered: "A second-class prince is just a second-class prince, but my father is a first-class prince, are you sure that you won't cause trouble to your lord by doing this?" ”

After saying this, Changsun Chong took two steps back, took a deep breath, and roared loudly: "Li Kong, you bastard, don't hide in the yard if you have the ability, come out, get out of here!" ”

The porter's face sank, if it weren't for the power of the eldest grandson Wuji, he really wanted to go up and give the eldest grandson a guy.

In the courtyard, Li Kong, who was eating fragrant with a bowl, suddenly heard the sound at the gate, and the whole movement stopped there directly, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

Although he hadn't seen it many times, he could still hear Changsun Chong's voice, but he was a little curious, why did Changsun Chong find him at this time?

If it was because of Li Liqing, he should have made a move when he was thrown to Changle County by Li Shimin, and he wouldn't have waited until now, so ...... Why?

But no matter what the reason, it was absolutely unforgivable for the eldest grandson to dare to come to his door to look for trouble, but when he was about to take a look at this little boy, he suddenly stopped, because he saw Li Tao walking in the direction of the door.

Go? Or not going? It seems like a hard choice!
