Volume 10 The Controversy of Buddhism Chapter 8 Warmth

The setting sun hung high in the sky, and the golden afterglow dyed the afterglow of the sky red, like a burning flame, and like colorful silk fluttering in the wind. Chang'an City is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if sleeping peacefully. On the edge of the Baqiao outside Chang'an City, the people of Chang'an City, who had been delayed for a day's work, received a rich remuneration, which was issued by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, because of his relationship, none of the cargo ships that were supposed to be distributed today have arrived, which is considered a part of his mind. Hundreds of people were grateful to Dade, although the money was not much, but it was much more than their day's wages, and they did not do any work on this day. just watched the excitement on the shore for a long time, and even the few people who were almost hit by Cheng Chubi actually got two silver cakes, which made the rest of the people envious, and the money was enough for their family to eat and wear in Chang'an City for half a month.

Countless merchants arrived late after Li Kuan's big ship docked, and in the setting sun, they hurriedly docked, and then the goods could only wait until the next day to unload. But they don't complain much, as businessmen, they naturally know what they shouldn't say and not manage.

In Chang'an City, the gorgeous and brilliant mansion, the vermilion plaque at the gate is hung on the lintel, and the three words of Douda depicted by gold paint show the noble identity of the master. At this time, in this gorgeous mansion, a group of people are sitting in the garden, enjoying the beautiful scenery in the spring garden. Under the residual light of the setting sun, the verdant hibiscus flowers are lush in the corner of the yard, because the flowering season has not yet arrived, so there are only verdant branches. But it also has a different kind of fresh taste. This kind of flower is not suitable for growing in Chang'an City, but Li Kuan has his own special complex, and he specially got some back from the land of Bashu. Planted in the yard, it has now become the boss. He remembered that there was a large patch of this flower behind the humble yard that used to be. Every time these flowers bloom, the woman who will never forget the memory will get some. Boil into a pot of millet porridge.

"Second brother, are you angry with me?" In the courtyard, there was silence for a while, and when Li Kuan saw the person waiting at the door, he first had a surprise on his face, but it quickly faded away, and then he only bowed his head slightly to indicate that he knew. This makes people who have been waiting here for a whole day feel extremely lost. She knew that this time she had indeed made her second brother angry, the bloodied brother at the beginning. In the midst of the ten thousand armies, she fought all the way with two equally powerful opponents, but at the last moment, she was rejected by herself by shaking her head slightly, and that kind of dead look at that time made her feel extremely distressed. But she can't be so selfish, she can't ruin her second brother's life because of herself, as long as she nods, even if she loses his life, this brother who loves her will fight for herself, but in that case, he will completely break with his uncle's family. At that time, the second brother would definitely not be able to resist the revenge of the desperate eldest grandson Wuji's uncle. So although Li Lizhen was unwilling in her heart at that time, she was unwilling in every way, and she still sat in the red sedan chair like that. With tears in his eyes, he refused Li Kuan's help.

"The original little girl has grown up, but she has also changed!" Li Kuan said with some meaning, he knew that maybe Li Lizhi had a hard time at the beginning. Even because of him, he's already done that. showed that he wouldn't blame her, but he still couldn't stop it. All this can only be said that both of them care too much about each other. The kind of people who have been together since childhood, and they have become accustomed to thinking about each other first, which has led to today's situation.

"Second brother, if you don't say it, Lizhi knows it...... Everything you do is for beauty, these are very grateful to you as a sister, but don't forget, it's not just you who pay, you are hurt, and your sister will be distressed! My sister hopes that the second brother can do something to stand up to the sky and become a hero in the eyes of everyone in Datang, and at that time, Lizhi will definitely be proud of the second brother! Li Lizhi said with some body, she knows her brother too well, this is a person who will not let go after the things he believes in, unless he feels completely powerless. At the beginning, she once broke into the Jinluan Palace angrily, and she also used her military exploits in exchange for her freedom, but these could not stop the endless exchange of interests of the eldest grandson family, because as an emperor, everything had to take into account the interests of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the eldest grandson's family, which is entrenched in the Tang Dynasty, has too many advantages over Li Kuan, who is alone.

"Okay, second brother, I'm finally back, don't talk about these disappointments, I won't talk about anything else today, just talk about the old days, and talk about myself! How are these days? What did that guy do to you? If it's not good for you, the second brother will cut him! Li Kuan is still ruthless to Li Li in the end, this girl was raised by him since he was a child, the little Lori who followed him at the beginning, is now a wife, time flies so fast! Unconsciously, ten years have passed, and such a long time is enough to change too many things, but the relationship between the two of them has become more and more mellow under the precipitation of this time, like a cellar of fine wine, more and more deep and heavy. Although the two have drifted apart, and she has become the daughter-in-law of his biggest political enemy, this is not the emotional gap between their brother and sister, is it.

"Cousin Chong is very good to me, everything depends on me!" Li Lizhen replied, this is a matter of course, although they have become husband and wife, but there is still a difference between monarchs and ministers, although Li Lizhen is the daughter of the sister of the eldest grandson Wuji, but her father is the current emperor, which makes the eldest grandson family have to compromise. Fortunately, Li Lizhi was very knowledgeable, and did not live in the gorgeous princess's mansion in Chang'an City, but moved directly to the mansion of the eldest grandson's family, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military envy of the eldest grandson Wuji for finding a good daughter-in-law, and the eldest grandson Chong was worshiped by a large group of children of the Wenchen family. Because in today's court, there are many people who have married princesses, and Li Yuan is in the harem in front of the breed and horse. One princess after another, the prince continued to be born, which made the population of the Tang royal family increase dramatically.

But who of the rest is not full of blood and tears? Princesses are not so easy to marry. Being a colt is the most difficult thing to do in this era, because as the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the monarch is the minister, which is still before the husband is the wife, the three outlines and the five constants make these good men cringe in front of their own wives, without the slightest pride before marriage, and they have all become the most sloppy men in the Tang Dynasty. Only the eldest grandson Chong married the most virtuous princess Changle, so countless courtiers were envious behind their backs but couldn't declare it.

"It's good to you, as my Li Kuan's sister-in-law, if they treat you badly, I'll go and pick up their plaque!" Li Kuan leaned back in the chair, picked up the tea on the coffee table next to him, and took a sip gently. He likes to drink clear tea, and he is not used to drinking the tea soup with mutton fat and various ingredients in this era, and this cup of tea has also brought him countless benefits.

"Second brother, what are you talking about! It's really inseparable from fighting and killing, it's really annoying! ~"Li Li is coquettish and doesn't do it. The two siblings bathed in the last rays of the sun, watching the burning clouds in the sky as if they were children, until night fell.

But at this time, a group of uninvited guests ran out from the moon gate next to the garden: "Second brother, do you think this leather jacket looks good?" Is this a dowry for Gao Yang? A little Lori was only five or six years old, holding a snow-white fur coat at this time, and she was moving her little short legs in front of her, afraid that she would be caught up by the people behind, and asked loudly while running. Xiao Gaoyang's favorite thing is to prepare a lot of dowries: because other sisters have mothers, their mothers will prepare dowries for them, and Sister Yuzhang also has the help of the queen's aunt, only she is alone, and she has to rely on herself!

"Stop, that's what I saw first, it's mine! Gao Yang, you robber! Yu Zhang chased after Gao Yang, shouting coquettishly. This thing was loaded in a large box unloaded on an ox cart, Yu Zhang, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, just saw it and went directly to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and found this snow-white leather ball, which was really like a piece of snow, without the slightest variegation, and extremely soft. At that time, Yuzhang liked it, but Gao Yang was on the side. A sneak attack, snatched the snow-white fur and ran, leaving no chance for Yu Zhang, and ran directly to the garden to ask Li Kuan for it. This made Yu Zhang angry. This guy is really a robber, not like a princess at all, she has to fight for everything, and pulling something out of her hand is like killing her.

"It's Gao Yang's, Sister Yuzhang has the dowry prepared for you by the queen's mother, but Gao Yang doesn't have it!" Xiao Gaoyang pouted and said angrily. Motherless children are so sensitive.

As soon as he talked about this topic, Li Kuan's heart was touched: When Yuzhang was young, it was the same, every little thing was so sentimental, and he even quietly ran to the Yeting Palace, and finally came back crying. Now the same is true of Gaoyang, as well as Qinghe, Lanling, these little guys who were close to Li Kuan before, it seems that the palace is really a tomb of family affection, of course, the princess and prince favored by the emperor are not among them, Yuzhang is half stained, and was adopted by the eldest grandson, and the rest are to the weeds on the side of the road, although the status is noble, but it makes them feel lonely and uneasy, there is no one around who really cares about them, all of them have a deferential face, or ignore them, so that these young princesses and princes have all become withdrawn.

"Let's go! The second brother has prepared gifts for you, okay, Yuzhang, don't rob Gao Yang, it's really such a big girl, and she grabs things with her sister! Li Kuan stood up, and Li Lizhen also got up with him, and then quietly followed behind him. Just like when she was a child, she went wherever the second brother went, because the second brother would always find fun and delicious food. Now I have that feeling again.

"Hmph...... I'll choose later! Yu Zhang ignored Gao Yang, who was smiling proudly with snow-white fur, turned around and hugged Li Kuan's arm and said coquettishly. (To be continued......)
