Chapter 56: Younger Brothers and Sisters

The first day of the new year of Zhenguan seems very quiet.

According to the detection of Qin Tianjian, this heavy snow directly swept the entire Guanzhong and Longyou regions, and the grasslands in the north suffered a heavy snowstorm once in 30 years, which has spread to the eastern Liaodong region.

The heavy snow blocked all the enemies who tried to make a move on the Tang Dynasty, especially the Turks, who couldn't even take care of self-protection at this time, let alone invade the Tang Dynasty.

Gaochang is honest, Goguryeo is honest, Tuyuhun and the Western Turks are doing business with Li Kong, and naturally they are also honest, leaving only a country of Yelang in the area of Tubo and Songzhou in the Lingnan region that has not yet been completely unified, Li Kong feels that this year is definitely the most peaceful year.

The people of Datang seem to know this, so even if the snow is flying outside, the streets of Chang'an are still bustling with crowds, adults and children are frolicking, and they don't have to think about the next life, they almost took out all their savings for a year to spend this rare and stable year.

The only drawback is that there are no fireworks in this era, and the New Year, which is less of a little gunsmoke, always feels that something is missing.

The faces of Laifu and Cuizhu, who were following Li Kong, were a little red from the cold, after all, their clothes were all remodeled from old clothes, and both comfort and warmth were much worse.

In fact, Li Kong didn't plan to take them out, with his current skills, even those professional assassins couldn't hurt him in the slightest, but he also knew that this was a bad habit of feudal society, if he dared to say that he wouldn't let the two follow, believe it or not, the two would go to the tip of the bull's horns, and even give Li Kong a suicide to show his innocence?

Therefore, Li Kong was also so desperate that he didn't have the heart to appreciate the smiles on the faces of the people on the road, but quickened his pace and walked towards the mansion of Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, which was closest to his house.

Speaking of the King of Hejian County, Li Kong has never seen it since he crossed over, but this guy has a very good reputation in history, he is one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he is also a relatively high one, whether it is military ability or political ability, it is second to none.

However, this person's temperament is very low-key, he hardly participates in any party, and he has never expressed any position on the prince, so it can be said that his behavior of shrinking turtle is much more serious than that of Li Jing in the later period.

Of course, the current Li Jing is not so low-key, he is after destroying the Turks, he realized that his merits were high, and then he retreated bravely, anyway, the Tang Dynasty at that time no longer had a particularly strong enemy, and there was not much difference between him and not in the court, not to mention, his two apprentices Li Tao and Hou Junji had fully grown up, and he could be regarded as a successful retirement.

Li Xiaogong can't do it, he is a clan and a royal prince, so this product directly plays a low-key role to the bones, and other county kings' mansions have at least three courtyards in and three outs, but his is just an ordinary two-entry courtyard, which is similar to Li Tao's Guogong Mansion.

Although the area of this kind of courtyard is not small, but this specification is not good, the emperor's palace is not to say, under normal circumstances, the prince's mansion is a six-entry courtyard, followed by the prince of the county, that is, the emperor's unfavored princes, their specifications are five courtyards, followed by the clan county king, the explicit provisions are three courtyards, of course, it can also be larger, and it is not considered a four-entry courtyard.

But the courtyard of the two entrances is really a bit self-deprecating.

When Li Kong walked into the county king's mansion, he was greeted by three children, two boys and one girl, the eldest was eight or nine years old, and the youngest girl was only four or five years old.

Behind these three people are two servants, it seems that these two people should be good, it is estimated that in addition to helping the three children deal with some foreign things, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the three of them.

When Cuizhu and Laifu saw the three of them, they hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen the second young master, the third young master, Miss!" ”

That's right, these three people are Li Kong's younger brothers and sisters, Li Zhen, Li Siwen and Li Rong, but this is the first time Li Kong has seen them since he crossed over.

It wasn't that Li Kong didn't have time before, but he didn't plan to have any intersection with these three people at all, so as not to get entangled after overthrowing the Wang family in the future, after all, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and he can't be as ruthless as Li Shimin, even his own nephew can be ruthless, which is a problem in this era, but Li Kong has no intention of changing it.

But now that he has seen it, he will not pretend not to see it, who doesn't know that he Li Kong is favored now? And it is the future concubine of Princess Changle designated by Li Shimin, so no matter how unhappy the Wang family is, she has to give Li Kong enough face, otherwise she Wang doesn't know what to do, and when the time comes, she won't even be able to affect Li Tao, but her maiden family will be planted in it, and the Wang family is not so bold.

So after Li Zhen and Li Siwen were stunned for a moment, they quickly pulled little Li Rong and ran to Li Kong, and said, "I've seen the eldest brother, the eldest brother has a new year!" ”

Li Kong smiled and nodded, then touched his body, and then took out three pieces of money, divided it into three parts and gave it to the three of them, and said: "Go buy yourself some delicious and fun, it is a gift from the eldest brother for you for the New Year, remember to go home early later, don't freeze." ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Li Rong was the youngest and didn't understand the grievances of adults, so when she saw that Li Kong loved them so much, she suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes, stupid and cute.

Li Siwen didn't think too much, took the money, thanked Li Kong, and stood aside without speaking.

Li Zhen, the eldest, thought a little too much, but remembering what Wang said when he went out, he still took the money and said, "Thank you, big brother, that big brother...... Let's go first. ”

Li Kong patted Li Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, have fun." ”

Li Zhen and the three left, but Li Kong's attitude made Laifu and Cuizhu a little confused, after all, the Wang family was not very friendly to the people in their courtyard before, and even a little harsh...... Hmm, or very harsh?

In fact, Cuizhu still knows very well what the Wang family is, after all, she used to be a personal maid who had been by Wang's side for several years, and she knew that Wang was a strong person, but now she let Li Zhen and the three of them salute Li Kong, what a hell, if they were put before, the three of them would definitely pick their noses and eyes at Li Kong.

This is the limitation of vision, whether it is Laifu or Cuizhu, they are just subordinates, they don't understand what Li Kong's status is now, but it is precisely because of this that they live so simply, isn't it?

"Okay, let's go, I don't know if we can have a meal!" Li Kong muttered, then turned around and walked in the direction of the main hall.

But as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard Li Tao's voice from a distance...... Uh, there are a few other uncles and uncles, is this a big party? But why did you choose Li Xiaogong's house?

Could it be that Li Xiaogong should be temperamental and ready to come out?

Shaking his head and throwing this ridiculous idea out of his head, Li Kong took a deep breath, since he came, there is absolutely no reason to leave hungry, today's meal ...... He's really done!
