Chapter 872: The Family Comes West
The convoy walked along Zhuque Street to the vicinity of the south of the city, turned into a side street and slowly stopped in front of a magnificent mansion, Cao Yun looked at the gate, the door head of the beam cornice, it is completely a palace gate, under the eaves hangs a large gold brand, on which is written 'Anyang Wangfu' four golden characters, below are nine steps, there are three zhang in the depth of the steps alone, and there is a majestic stone carving lion on each side.
Cao Yun shook her head secretly, this is like a palace, she is really a little unaccustomed, in contrast, she prefers the mansion by the Qujiang River in the past, which is more full of life, but Cao Yun also knows that her husband's identity is different from the past, in the past, he was Jingzhao Tongzhi, and now he is a very human minister, under one person, above ten thousand people, and she is also a princess, she must also adapt to her new identity.
At this time, a female soldier helped Cao Yun get out of the ox cart, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Li Yanqing was galloping on horseback with dozens of people.
"Daddy!" Ah Lian, who had just gotten off the ox cart, suddenly saw her father, and was so excited that she ran over like a bird, Li Yanqing hurriedly reined in the war horse, turned over and dismounted, squatted down and hugged her daughter in her arms, and lifted her daughter high, and couldn't help laughing.
With a smile in the corner of her eyes, Cao Yun gently pushed her son, "Go and call Daddy!" ”
Li Pu stepped forward timidly and whispered, "Daddy! ”
Li Yanqing was overjoyed in his heart, and he also held his son in his arms and kissed him heavily on the little face, "Yes, I finally took the initiative to call Daddy." ”
At this time, Hu Qing'er stepped forward and said with a smile: "Successfully complete the task, I am here to give orders to the eldest brother!" ”
This time Li Yanqing's family came west, Hu Qing'er specially rushed to Lin'an thousands of miles away, personally escorted them over, running back and forth for thousands of miles, very tired, Li Yanqing smiled approvingly: "Qing'er has made the first great contribution in the family, as a reward, Qing'er can choose a yard of his own first." ”
Qing'er pouted, "It's insincere, I know that I won't rob my eldest sister." ”
Cao Yun slowly walked over and said with a smile: "I have already decided on Qing'er's reward, Qing'er, what did I tell you on the way?" ”
Hu Qing'er's face flushed, and she was so ashamed that she hurriedly turned around and left, "Sister, I'll go and see the luggage!" She made an excuse and ran away.
Cao Yun took Guo Shishi and Zhao Jinfu to greet her husband, Li Yanqing didn't show too much affection in front of everyone, he hurriedly smiled: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, go to the house to rest, this will be our home in the future!" ”
Guo Shishi smiled and hugged his daughter, Zhao Fujin held Li Pu, they followed Hu Qing'er to the mansion first, and Cao Yun gently grabbed her husband's arm and followed everyone into the mansion.
"This time I thought you would always come by boat, but I didn't expect to end up taking an ox cart, the road in Guanzhong is bumpy, and it will be very tiring to take an ox cart." Li Yanqing was really a little apologetic.
Cao Yun pursed his lips and smiled: "In fact, we take a boat most of the time, from Lin'an to Tokyo, originally to take the Yellow River, but General Zong said that there will be Jin Bing's sentry boat on the Yellow River, which is not safe, so we decided to take an ox cart, and after passing Tongguan, we got on the boat again, and only changed to the ox cart at the north wharf of the city, in fact, we sat on these ox carts for less than an hour." ”
"That's good, you have been running around all these years, and you have not settled down, if there is no accident in Jingzhao this time, you will have to live for many years."
Cao Yun couldn't help but glance at him, and laughed in a low voice: "I'm afraid that like last time, the Jin soldiers called, and our family had to run to Bashu again." ”
"I promise not!"
Cao Yun smiled and said, "Tang Yuan'er didn't come with her this time, she took the child to Jiangxia, and she may not be able to come over until after the beginning of spring next year." ”
Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Now Wang Gui can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Cao Yun frowned, "He's raising a housewife outside again?" ”
"This.... It's hard to say, and I don't want to ask too much. ”
"You're just pampering him!"
Everyone talked and laughed, and soon walked into the back house, the blue lake like a jewel made everyone can't help but marvel, Cao Yun's eyes flashed, this beautiful lake made her like her new house at once.
Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I said, you will definitely like it!" ”
"How can there be a lake here?" Cao Yun looked back at her husband in surprise, she obviously felt that the water quality was completely different from the river water outside, the river water outside was green, and the lake water here was dark blue.
Li Yanqing explained to everyone with a smile: "This was originally a part of the Great Ci'en Temple, and there are three springs below, and it is because of these three springs that there is this palace, and the lake is very large. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yanqing pointed to several large courtyards around and said: "There are six courtyards here, all of which are exquisite and elegant, each with its own merits, you can choose the courtyard you like to live in." ”
"Mother! I love that big tree, let's live over there! ”
Ah Lian pointed to a big tree that grew extremely luxuriantly and shouted happily, "There must be an elf on the tree that Daddy said, mother, okay!" ”
Ah Niang shook the placket of Guo Shishi's clothes and begged, Guo Shishi touched the child's head and smiled: "Let the eldest lady choose first!" ”
"It's okay, as long as the child likes it, you can live over there!" Cao Yun smiled and nodded Ah Lian's nose.
"Daddy, is there a poffin in that big tree?" Ah Lian took her father's hand again and asked.
"I don't know if there are elves, but there are little squirrels living in that big tree, and Daddy has seen it."
Ah Lian cheered, opened her calves and ran towards the courtyard, and the two female soldiers hurriedly followed.
Everyone quickly chose their own yard, Cao Yun's yard is in the middle, is the main courtyard of the whole back house, covering an area of eight acres, there are hundreds of various pavilions and houses, Zhao Fujin and Guo Shishi's yard is located on both sides of the main house, about five or six acres, Xiaolian fancy that the big tree is actually outside the yard, it was planted in the Chai Zhou era, it has been more than 100 years so far, it has grown extremely tall and straight, the canopy is like a cloud, the branches in the tree are luxuriant, it is like an independent world, but now the leaves have fallen, it looks a little bleak.
Hu Qing'er also chose one of her own courtyards, this courtyard is actually a semi-finished product, the house has been repaired, but the yard has not had time to be arranged, it is still a grass, which makes Hu Qing'er like it very much, and it can be used to practice martial arts.
There is also a courtyard that is Li Yanqing's inner study, and two smaller courtyards are temporarily empty, and then the stepmother Yang brought Li Baoyan to live.
This time they only brought their belongings with them, and other belongings could only be transported in batches later, and in the afternoon of the same day, Li Yanqing ordered the wine and food of Taibai Building, and the family got together and had a reunion dinner in a lively and festive manner.
At night, after some affection, Li Yanqing and his wife Cao Yun hugged each other and fell asleep, Cao Yun gently stroked her husband's hair and said softly: "Take Qing'er before the New Year!" ”
"Is this the reward that the lady said today?" Li Yanqing asked with a grin.
Cao Yun gently pinched her husband's arm and complained: "I'm talking about business, don't be hippie and smile." ”
"But she's my sister!"
"Go! Where is her sister, your sister is in Lin'an! People have been with you for so many years, and you are getting older, you should give her an explanation, otherwise how can you be worthy of her dead father? ”
Li Yanqing was silent, and only after a while did he say: "She is a strange general in our army, and she also likes life in the army, let her take off her military uniform, put on a long skirt, and stay at home all day, I'm afraid she herself is not used to it." ”
"Then you take her with you, our house is full of women in long skirts, and there is a concubine in a military uniform, I believe you will like it more."
Li Yanqing shook his head, "Actually, she can choose a better belonging, generals like Cao Meng, Yan Qing, and Yang Wenyi are not married." ”
"Do you think she will agree?"
Li Yanqing smiled bitterly, he was just talking, everyone knew that Hu Qing'er would be his own woman sooner or later, even if Hu Qing'er agreed by himself, I am afraid that no one would dare to marry.
Li Yanqing was no longer hypocritical, nodded and said, "I don't care about this matter, you can arrange it!" Look at her own attitude, don't force it, I just hope that she can live happily, and I can also give an explanation to her dead grandmother and father. ”
That night, Li Yanqing had a dream, dreaming that he was back in his childhood, and Aunt Hu next door took a hard-boiled egg and handed it to him with a smile, "Brother Qing'er, marry my Qing'er when you grow up in the future, and your aunt will boil eggs for you every day!" ”
Li Yanqing was about to agree happily, but Uncle Hu appeared in front of him like a black tower, staring at him with big bull's eyes, and said to him viciously: "If you want to marry my Qing'er, you must win against me!" ”
Li Yanqing woke up from his dream suddenly, he looked at the roof in a daze, the bits and pieces of his childhood flowed through his heart like flowing water, and unconsciously, his eyes were full of tenderness.
