Chapter 51: Returning Home

Today's weather is good, under the bright sunshine, it also makes people feel warm, Li Xiu and Ma Ye stood on the grass, there was a big red wheelchair between the two, the color was chosen by Ma Ye, after the wheelchair was built, Li Xiu advocated only brushing a few layers of varnish, retaining the texture of the wood, because the carpenters used all the best wood, the texture is very beautiful, if it is covered with paint, it would be a pity.

However, Ma Ye felt that since this thing was used for the princess to recuperate, it was natural to paint it with a festive color, which made people happy to look at, so he decided to paint it red, and what was worse was that those craftsmen also thought that they should paint it, but the color was a little different from Ma Ye, and as a result, a group of people quarreled about this matter for a long time, and finally Ma Ye was so angry that he slapped the saber on the table, so everyone happily decided to use red.

"This ...... This one was given to me? Princess Pingyang looked at the delicately structured wheelchair in front of her, and said excitedly, although it was the first time she had seen it, she could guess what it was used for just from its two large wheels.

"The princess guessed right, this thing is called a wheelchair, which can allow the princess to sit on it and let people push it to move, or you can push the wheels forward by yourself, which is very suitable for the princess's current situation." Li Xiu introduced with a smile, but in the end, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately spoke again, "The other color was specially selected by Uncle Ma for you!" ”

"Such ingenuity, I'm afraid only Captain Li can think of it." Princess Pingyang also praised happily again at this time, and then asked the maid next to her to help her sit in a wheelchair, and the chair was covered with thick cushions, which felt very comfortable.

At the moment, the maid pushed the wheelchair around the garden, and the result was that Princess Pingyang felt very stable, and what was even more rare was that the turn was also very convenient, and there were two fixed small circles around the car, Li Xiu stepped forward and pointed out that she could turn the small circle to drive the wheelchair, so Princess Pingyang pushed the wheelchair forward, at first she was a little cautious, but then she became bold and pushed the wheelchair fast, and the crisp laughter of "giggles" was scattered throughout the garden.

"Thank you, boy, it's been a long time since I've seen the princess smile so happily!" Ma Ye looked at Princess Pingyang, who was happy like a child, and patted Li Xiu's shoulder with emotion.

"Uncle Ma is polite, this is what I should do." Li Xiu said with a smile, today the princess is wearing a white fur coat, and her skin is like jade, and even the gaudy red wheelchair under her looks much more pleasing to the eye, of course, the most important thing is that the person is beautiful, and everything looks tasteful in the hands of others.

This is like those pictures on Taobao in later generations, the models are beautiful in everything, and as a result, some girls have to buy, but after buying back, they say that the real thing does not match the picture, although it is not excluded that some profiteers are shoddy, but most of them are actually the same thing, the key is that the people who wear them are different, but the vast majority of girls are not willing to believe this fact.

The taste of being carried every day is not pleasant, just like the birds have their wings tied, the fish has cut off their tails, and now they are suddenly free again, for Princess Pingyang is simply the biggest surprise in the world, I saw her turn around the dry grass several times, and then she came back a little breathlessly, after all, her body is still a little weak, and it is not suitable for too intense exercise.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's excited appearance, Li Xiu took out something from his arms at this time and handed it over and said with a smile: "Princess, it is easy to wear out your hands in a wheelchair, so it is best to wear this thing to protect the skin on your hands!" ”

Li Xiu handed over a pair of gloves, which he asked Yuechan to help make, and the style was very exquisite. Princess Pingyang took the gloves and looked at them, and found that the five fingers were separated, and she couldn't help laughing at the moment: "Captain Li is really a clever person, even hand warmers can be so exquisite!" ”

The Tang Dynasty is not without gloves in this era, in fact, gloves have been there as early as the Han Dynasty, the famous Mawangdui in later generations has unearthed gloves, the style is almost no different from that of later generations, but the ancient clothing is also a popular trend, to the Tang Dynasty, gloves have become a straight cylinder, called hand warmers, only for the purpose of keeping warm in winter, and not like the effect of decoration in later generations, so Princess Pingyang is also the first time to see this kind of gloves with five fingers separated.

"It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it!" Li Xiu said a little modestly again.

But at this moment, I saw Ma Ye step forward and look at the gloves, and then laughed and said to Li Xiu: "Boy, are you really a princess and one of those delicate nobles?" Tell you, the princess is a person who can go into battle to kill the enemy, and she has a weapon in her hand for many years, so she doesn't need this kind of thing at all, if you don't believe it, you can just look at the princess's palm. ”

Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Princess Pingyang's hands, only to see that the back of the princess's hand was up at this time, just from the back of the hand, these hands were as white as jade, ten fingers were slender, just like white jade carving.

Princess Pingyang was a little embarrassed when she heard Ma Ye's words, and noticed that Li Xiu was looking at her hands, and she couldn't help but blush at the moment, but in the end she turned over her palms, and what shocked Li Xiu was that when these little hands like jade turned over, they were in a different situation, only to see a few places on the palms and fingers that were yellow and shiny, and at a glance they knew that they were thick calluses that were grinded out, and they were almost connected together, covering half of the palms.

Seeing the princess's contrasting palm, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, such hands really didn't need to be protected by gloves. Princess Pingyang also seemed to see Li Xiu's embarrassment at this time, and immediately smiled and put the gloves on her hands and said: "Yes, it is very suitable and beautiful, my Tang Quartet is becoming more and more stable, and I am afraid that I will no longer need to wear armor in the future, even so, then I will also take good care of my hands!" ”

After Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she smiled at Li Xiu again, and then suddenly thought of something, and immediately spoke: "Captain Li, I heard that the front of your house is full of people who come to visit you, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, why do you want to hide?" ”

"What's so good about being famous? Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people are tired of fame, and I have long said to the princess that I am used to being lazy, and my biggest wish is to be a small landlord who has no quarrel with the world, and live his own small life with peace of mind. Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed at this time, he didn't know how many times he had said these words, but neither Ma Ye nor Princess Pingyang seemed to believe it.

"You really don't want to be an official?" Princess Pingyang was really a little surprised at this time, she used to think that these were Li Xiu's excuses, just to show his arrogance, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Of course!" Li Xiu nodded firmly, and his eyes were also staring at Princess Pingyang.

Princess Pingyang also kept staring at Li Xiu's eyes, hoping to see a flaw in his eyes, but Li Xiu's eyes were very calm, it really didn't look like a lie, and Princess Pingyang also believed it a little.

"Well, since you like a quiet life, then I'll help you!" Princess Pingyang finally spoke.

"Huh? How can the princess help me? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Hehe, you gave me a wheelchair and gloves, and in return, I will naturally give you the same gift!" Princess Pingyang smiled mysteriously at this time, it seems that she has also learned to sell Guanzi like Li Xiu.

Princess Pingyang's gift did not make Li Xiu wait too long, in fact, on the second day, a team of cavalry suddenly came to Li Xiu's house to station, and declared a radius of ten miles as a forbidden place in the military camp, and idle people were not allowed to trespass, otherwise military law would be engaged, and Li Xiu's house was just within this range, as a result, those who wanted to see Li Xiu were all driven away by this cavalry, and now Li Xiu's house was finally quiet outside the door.

"Haha~, I can finally go home!" When Ma Ye told Li Xiu the above news, he couldn't help laughing and said, although the princess's mansion is very comfortable, there is always a feeling of being under the fence, and the golden nest and silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest, no matter where they are, they are not comfortable in their own home.

At the moment, Li Xiu immediately asked Yuechan and Liu Er to pack up their things, he personally ran to thank the princess, and then rushed home impatiently, speaking of which, although many people came to visit during this time, but the quality of these people was quite good, Li Xiu did not open the door They stayed outside the door, and no one broke into other people's homes without permission, so everything in the house remained as it was, but a thick layer of dust fell, which is also a matter of the way, the spring was dry and windy, and the ground was not hardened, and the wind was dusty everywhere.

When he left the princess's courtyard, Li Xiu brought a few more things, that is, some furniture that he asked the carpenter of the princess's family to help build, such as a set of tables and chairs, and a comfortable rocking chair. Comfortably had lunch at home, and then Li Xiu lay on the rocking chair with a blanket, basking in the warm sun, and there was no pressure and baggage on his spirit, which made him feel like he was in the clouds.

"Yuechan, Liu'er, our yard is a little small, and the house is a little broken, I want to rebuild a yard, what do you think?" Just when Li Xiu seemed to be asleep, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked the two maids who were doing needlework next to him for advice.

"Okay, good, big yard new house, it's definitely more comfortable to live in!" Liu Er was the first to raise her hand in favor and said, she is a child who has not grown up, when she first came, she said that she was fourteen, Li Xiu really believed it, but then she got acquainted, Liu Er was speechless for a while before she said her real age, it turned out that she was only twelve, and the reason why she was two years older was mainly because she was worried that Li Xiu thought she was too young and didn't want her.

However, Yuechan frowned when she heard Li Xiu's words, and then whispered: "Master, it's a good thing that you want to build a yard, but I'm afraid you can't now." ”

"Why?" Li Xiu also opened his eyes at this time and asked strangely.

"You'll find out when you go outside." Yuechan also got up and saluted at this time.
