Chapter Fifty-Eight: Changes in the Qin Palace
The early morning of summer, there is a rare coolness, not long after the sun comes out, the earth has not yet warmed up, this is the most comfortable time of the day, not long after the temperature rises, it will be hot! There is not much difference between Datang and later generations, Li Kuan took steps and slowly walked towards the restaurant.
In the past two years, the Qin Wangfu has changed a lot, there are more restaurants, there are also more Taishi chairs, and fire kangs, all of which are all things that Li Kuan slowly drew patterns from his memory and let people create them, and he was reluctant to exchange energy points for these gadgets.
For example, in this restaurant, there is a round table in it, no longer a few desks. Such a family eats at the same table, in Li Kuan's words, this is like a family. Like before, one person has one table, and relatives who are far away are also weakened by the distance.
When Li Kuan arrived, there were already several people here, Li Chengqian sat on the chair on the side, looking at the breakfast on the table with an indifferent expression, he kept his distance from Li Kuan since the banquet in the Qin Palace, and was no longer as close as before, among which the eldest grandson Wuji can be said to be indispensable, this scheming eldest grandson, how to teach Li Chengqian Li Kuan behind his back I don't know, but from Li Chengqian's eyes looking at him more and more unkindly, he knows that it is not a good thing. But Li Kuan has no strength in his hands now, so he can only let it go. It's just that he secretly decided in his heart that he must teach this smiling fox a profound lesson in the future, and it is not a good person to stir up brotherhood.
Li Ke sat on the other side, accompanying Concubine Yang, and there was a small child sitting next to Concubine Yang, about five or six years old, timidly watching Li Kuan walk in, and his little head hid behind Concubine Yang. This is Li Xuan, he can't see the bastard behind him at all, just a shy Zhengtai, Li Ke saw Li Kuan come in, and nodded at him with a smile.
Li Kuan first saluted Concubine Yang, and then looked around, the fifth Li You had not yet arrived, as for the little fat man Li Tai was sitting on the side and napping, he was the type who was drowsy the rest of the time except for learning poetry and books and playing, so this is how the fat of the body was raised. As for the eldest grandson, she usually comes last, of course, there are two little Loli with her, Li Lizhi must be in bed, and Xiao Nianwei must wait until her sister gets up to get up, even if she wakes up early, she eats her fingers in bed, and waits for Li Lizhi to get up before she asks her sister to help her get dressed. As for the others, except for the eldest grandson, no one else wants to dress the little guy, her loud cry will let half of the people in Chang'an City know that Xiao Nianwei has been wronged.
Not long after Xiao Nianwei was one year old, her mother Bian Concubine (of course, this is a title posthumously awarded by Li Er after he ascended the throne, but let's use it like this first.) He passed away, leaving the little guy who had just turned one year old and was adopted by his eldest grandson, and since then Li Lizhi has an extra doll to sleep, and he must hold Xiao Nianwei before he is willing to sleep. For this matter, Li Li's little Lori also had a temper with her eldest grandson for a long time. If it weren't for the eldest grandson who really hurt her to the bone, he wouldn't have let her take her little sister to sleep. Since then, Li Lizhen has an extra bed in her room, and there is a maid who sleeps here at night to take care of the two little princesses.
Li Kuan sat in his place, and the position in this restaurant also has strict regulations, unlike ordinary people who can sit at will, the elders sit on the main seat, above, and the rest of the people have their own positions according to their status. Li Kuan's position was under Li Chengqian, but the two little guys who didn't deal with each other sat together, and I don't know how the eldest grandson arranged it. Opposite Li Kuan is Li Ke, and Concubine Yang is sitting with her son, her identity makes her dare not pay too much attention to this position, in the entire Qin Palace, Concubine Yang has the best temper, no matter who she is, she smiles at her. But what kind of sadness is behind this smile, only she knows.
As soon as Li Kuan sat down, Li Chengqian turned his little head to the other side. This childish move made Li Kuan laugh dumbly, and he was angry with a child, Li Kuan was not bored to that point. So I didn't take it to heart, Li Chengqian wanted him to pay attention to it, and it would be a few years later. However, he never thought about fighting for any position of power in the past, even if Li Yuan was sitting in the position now, he was not interested: that position was not easy to sit in, and he was too tired. Unless he is a faint monarch, but Li Kuan has no idea of doing anything faint, he comes to bring this era to enjoy the life of a feudal nobleman, so he doesn't want to be busy and tired for those things!
Time passed little by little, a small head probe came in to look, found that the eldest grandson was not there, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked in.
"Old Five, what are you looking at?" Li Kuan said loudly, although the elder Concubine Yang was on the side and Li Chengqian was on the side, but neither of them spoke, because they knew that only Li Kuan could suppress this kid.
It was the fifth Li You who came in, that is, the bastard who later killed Quan Wanji and then rebelled. But now he is still a tiger-headed little Zhengtai, who knows that he will be a teacher in the future?
"Second brother!" Li You jumped up and down to Li Kuan's side: "Didn't I sleep a little longer, and the mother concubine (all Li Er's children should be called the eldest grandmother concubine) hasn't come yet!" β
"It's not big or small, Aunt Yang is here, go up and say goodbye!" Li Kuan threw a chestnut on his head, and then motioned for him to go and greet Concubine Yang.
"Aunt Yang, the child Li You has asked you to say goodbye!" Li You bowed and said.
"Get up! What about your mother? Why didn't you come? Concubine Yang saw that Li You was the only one and didn't see Concubine Yin coming, so she asked.
"The mother was in a hurry to make clothes for the child last night, and now she is asleep! The child didn't dare to disturb, let her sleep more! Li You's eyes were a little red, and he seemed to be a very sensible kid, but why was he so bastard later?
"That's it!" Concubine Yang stopped talking.
"Big brother!" Li You is not like Li Kuan, who dared not to bird Li Chengqian, he still gave Li Chengqian a salute, but Li Chengqian didn't treat him very well, and he said yes in his nostrils.
"Cut, little brat, pretend to be deep!" Li Kuan's belly scolded.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came, mixed with bursts of laughter, Li Kuan knew that the eldest grandson was coming as soon as he heard the voice, only Li Lizhen and Li Nianwei, the two little Lori, dared to laugh so unscrupulously in this Qin Palace, although Li Kuan and Li Chengqian were okay, but one of them wanted to act as a big brother, and the other felt that this was very naΓ―ve, and they didn't do such a thing.
Sure enough, after a while, the door was pushed open again, and two little heads stuck in, turning their heads to look at everyone in the hall like Li You before, and then the older Li Lizhi called crisply: "Second brother, Lizhi is here!" β
Li Lizhi spoke up, and Xiao Nianwei was not far behind: "Second brother, Niu Niu!" β
Li Kuan laughed out loud all of a sudden, but Li Chengqian's face changed for a while, and some anger and some unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Li Kuan stood up: "Okay, Niu Niu!" As he spoke, he squatted down and waited for the two little Lori's to come in.
Li Lizhi trotted in with a smile and came to Li Kuan: "Second brother, Lizhi is the referee!" Don't lose again! β
"Don't worry, Xiao Nianwei must not be the opponent of the second brother this time, the second brother went to the Shaolin Temple and learned the iron head gong! Now Xiao Nianwei must not be an opponent! Haha...... "Li Kuan is very open, this is what he wants, the family has been torn apart because of identity and etiquette, what is this!"
"Wei'er, win!" Xiao Nianwei, who was trying to climb the threshold, heard Li Kuan's words and hurriedly retorted. It's just that as soon as I made a sound, I forgot what I was doing, and halfway over, I rode directly on the threshold and couldn't get down.
"Woo woo...... "The little girl started to drop the golden bean in a hurry, how to go down?
"Haha......" Li Kuan and Li Lizhen burst out laughing, and hurriedly stepped forward to save the little knight.
"Bad, second brother beat you!" Li Kuan picked up Xiao Nianwei, laughed non-stop, and was slapped in the mouth by the little guy unexpectedly.
"Giggle......" This time it was the turn of the two Loli to laugh.
Li Kuan put Xiao Nianwei down, and then prepared to welcome the eldest grandson, but the little guy hadn't forgotten the previous incident: "Niu Niu!" As he spoke, he stretched out his little hand and grabbed the hem of Li Kuan's clothes.
"Okay, good, second brother and Wei'er Niuniu! Good, let it go! Li Kuan was helpless, the eldest grandson had already arrived at the door, and it was a bit unreasonable not to greet him, which was also a kind of sadness in such a family, there were too many rules and too cumbersome, and it was simply restricting nature. So there are two little girls who are not bound, Li Kuan is too spoiled.
Squatted down, lifted the hair on his forehead, revealing a smooth forehead, and looked at Xiao Nianwei, who leaned forward with a small body opposite: "Come on!" The second brother's iron head skill will definitely win you! β
"Wei'er, win, second brother crying nose!" Xiao Nianwei blushed a little, there was a lock of bangs on her forehead, the little guy combed her braids today, it seems to be Li Li's handwriting, because the braids on one side are big, and the other side is so small, it looks very funny, plus the apple face, the whole doll.
"Ready, go!" As a referee, Li Lizhen announced the start of the game and served as a commentator: "I don't know how many bullfighting competitions have started in Qinwangfu, and the contestants are still the original two, on one side is the winning general Xiao Nianwei, and on the other hand, Li Kuan, who has been defeated repeatedly, and the two are now starting to wrestle. Who will win today? We'll see! Li Lizhi was almost assimilated by Li Kuan, and these words were completely in line with later generations, without any meaning of the ancients.
Li Kuan squatted, motionless, just waiting for the little guy on the opposite side to push him down, looking at the little Lori wearing small embroidered shoes, a pony coat, and open crotch pants on the other side, Li Kuan had a feeling of playing with his daughter, but he thought about it when he didn't have a daughter in the future, how could he have this feeling? It's really strange, is this a hallucination caused by mental age?
