Chapter 14: Li Er Returns to Beijing
Li Kuan walked down Li Lizhen's small building, and found that none of the subordinates who were busy just now were gone, and couldn't help but be a little speechless: Could this be the so-called confidentiality regulations? Indeed, the secrets of the master's house, how can people be allowed to peep.
Stepping on a shallow layer of snow, he walked slowly towards his small courtyard. Walking through the small garden of the Qin Palace, the surrounding trees are all covered with snow, just like wearing a white down jacket. Bypassing the rockery in the middle of the courtyard, a few plum trees actually began to bloom.
The faint and dark fragrance blew with the cold morning breeze, which made Li Kuan's mood better. Looking at the plum blossoms that were already in full bloom, I thought to myself that if I broke off one of them, it would be great to put them in the room. But when he thought of the little Lori who had kissed him secretly just now, he had to give up this idea. Because if such a thing was known by Li Li's little Lori, she would definitely laugh at him.
He let out a long breath, and the cold air was inhaled into his lungs, making his chest and abdomen cold for a while. Li Kuan no longer spared his steps and walked back quickly. But when I returned to my small courtyard, I picked up the account book sent by the servant and looked at it for a while, and I felt cold again. Put on the brocade quilt that was replaced last night, and then carefully flip through the report of the brothers and sisters this month.
"Someone!" Li Kuan just looked at it for a while, then stopped and shouted. A little guy walked in from the outside quickly, bowed and saluted: "What does the prince command?" ”
"Why did Cheng Qian and Li Ke spend so much money this month? Twice as much as last month? Li Kuan pointed to the deficit written on the two large lines of red red pen on the account.
"Because, His Royal Highness the King of Qin will return to Beijing tomorrow, so the eldest prince and the third prince decided to go out of the city to greet each other and bought saddles, longbows, cloaks and other ceremonial supplies. The little one also specially told Princess Qin. The little guy replied without humility.
When Li Kuan heard this, his brows furrowed: The eldest grandson has taken care of the entire palace in an iron bucket over the years, and even when something big happened to these subordinates, the first thing that came to mind was this princess of Qin. Instead of being in charge of managing this piece of myself now. This made him a little tangled, but he didn't get depressed for long to figure it out. Anyway, Li Kuan didn't think about doing anything with these subordinates, and besides, it wasn't a shame to fight the eldest grandson. That's a lifetime, and the means are far from being comparable to me, a rookie who has watched a few court dramas in later generations.
Putting aside the depression brought by the eldest grandson, Li Kuan thought of Li Chengqian and Li Ke, the two little guys, and didn't expect these two to come out and go out of the city to meet Li Er. And those things have been prepared, it seems that these two have learned intrigue at such a young age!
Li Kuan waved his hand to signal the little guy to step back, and then thought about whether he should do something? If he didn't say anything, would Li Er have any thoughts in his heart? You must know that the eldest grandson had already written a letter to the future emperor of the ages about these unexplained things that happened to him two months ago. It's hard to guarantee that Li Er won't mumble in his heart, thinking that there is someone with ill intentions behind him. When the time comes, these two people will have a gap in their hearts, and then Li Kuan may have difficulty moving in Datang.
"No, we have to think of a way, and we have to do it tomorrow!" Li Kuan's right hand clenched his fist and slammed it on his left palm, looking at the snow outside the window. The snow began to fall again, not much, but very densely. Floating freely between heaven and earth, like elves waving their wings.
This night, Li Kuan didn't sleep well, because he had to think about what he could do to win over Li Chengqian and Li Ke's two boys tomorrow. Of course, this is only a secondary reason, the main reason is that he sent two quilts to Xiao Lori's side, and on this snowy night, he could only shiver on the carved Hu bed.
"When tomorrow is over, we must make a kang, otherwise this winter in the Tang Dynasty will be the end of my Li Kuan!" Li Kuanleng's teeth were chattering, and there were two stoves in front of the bed. The windows are ajar to avoid gas poisoning. On this cold winter night, the turtle cowered in the corner of the bed, looking forward to another day!
However, on the other side, in Li Li's small building, little Lori was sleeping soundly, chirping with a small mouth, as if she was eating the delicious picnic promised by her second brother in a dream. The eldest grandson stood beside her bed, looking at the thick quilt covered by Li Lizhen's body, and was stunned.
It was half a ring before she realized, "What is this?" Why is it so different from Nishiki quilt? She had just finished a lot of affairs in the palace, and remembered her daughter who was still sick, so she came to take a look, but she didn't expect to see her daughter covered with two quilts that she had never seen before, and she slept very sweetly. Reaching into the quilt, it was very warm, and even my daughter's body was a little sweaty. This is something unimaginable, you must know that your eldest daughter has been the most difficult in winter in recent years. There are several stoves in the room to sleep,
"Qi Yu Niangniang, this is the second son who came to see the little county lord in the morning, and brought it from his room, I heard that it is called a quilt!" A maid hurriedly replied.
"It's this kid again! It seems that he has a lot of secrets! The eldest grandson looked like he had expected it: "Send someone to him to take a look, there are such good things, and I don't know how to take them out to honor me, the concubine!" This is too far from Shaohua's sister! The eldest grandson seemed to remember some old things from the past, and his tone was a little low and a little regretful.
"Slaves obey!" A maidservant girl hurriedly retreated from the small building and walked towards Li Kuan's courtyard, the vast snowflakes flying covered her back and blocked the eyes of the eldest grandson.
After a while, the figure of the servant girl appeared again in the eyes of the eldest grandson, but her face was a little strange.
"How?" The eldest grandson asked after waiting for the maid to go up to the small building.
"There is no such quilt called quilt on the second son's side, and when the slave and maid passed by just now, the second son was roasting around the stove!" The maid was very puzzled, is this second son, who has become strange now, stupid? I gave all the good things I got to the little county lord, but I couldn't figure it out.
Not only can't she figure it out, but even the eldest grandson can't figure it out. She really can't see the orphan left behind by this Shaohua girl now, but when she thinks of that peerless woman, she seems to understand something: this child's temperament is very similar to his mother! When he is sure that you are genuinely good to him, he will reciprocate wholeheartedly, and if he feels that you are suspicious or hostile to him, he will unconsciously alienate you, and even have the opportunity to retaliate against you. Looks like this kid must have noticed my defensiveness against him! I really don't know where such a young child comes from such a heavy mind!
The eldest grandson thought of this, but a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he looked at Li Liqing, who was still immersed in a sweet dream: "Little guy, you are blessed, if your mother is not by your side one day, you will not be wronged, because your second brother will always protect you!" Saying softly, he helped Li Li clean the quilt and walked downstairs gently.
When it was bright the next day, little Lori got up from the bed. Stretching his little waist, raising his little hands above his head, his mouth opened wide and he sighed: "Lizhi is really comfortable sleeping this night, or the second brother's quilt is covered with warmth!" Little Lori was sleepy-eyed, her little hands rubbed her misty eyes, and her hair was scattered over her shoulders, very lazy. The child recovers quickly, and yesterday he was in bed for a day. I slept comfortably under the quilt, not only did the fever subside, but the cold was not cured.
"Get up...... Father is back today, and Lizhi is going to get ready to greet him! Well, I have to call the second brother! Little Lori got up from the bed, called the maid who had been waiting on the side too early, asked her to help her freshen up, and then turned out a set of jackets made by the eldest grandson of the mother and concubine from the wardrobe on the side two days ago, put it on happily, and then took a picture of the bronze mirror, although the bronze mirror was very blurry, and she couldn't see the figure clearly, but the little girl still nodded her head beautifully: Lizhi is the cutest!
After some struggle against the cold, Li Kuan finally fell asleep at the invitation of Duke Zhou. It's just that this sleep is really not very comfortable, which also accelerates his determination to change the current life. I was woken up by the cold wind in the morning, and after washing, I walked outside, because I had to go to the kitchen to find breakfast, because the thrifty princess of the Qin Mansion asked Li Kuan to eat two meals a day. And the food is not very good, and millet seeds, which Li Kuan calls a mouthful of scum, still often appear in the recipes of this family. Although Li Kuan didn't like these foods, he didn't have a choice.
Li Kuan had just walked out of the yard, and Liu entered the kitchen to be a thief; Over there, Li Lizhi came to Li Kuan's room and muttered: "Second brother, Lizhi came to you to pick up my father!" ”
After a big circle, little Lori pouted: "Second Brother Xiang, Second Brother Stinky, it's not called Lizhi when you go out to play early in the morning!" The little black bean with big eyes spinning in the bones exposed the little abacus in her heart, it seems that someone is going to be blackmailed again, you must know that someone has no resistance to this little Lori, it can be said that it is the material that loves your free avatar unconditionally.
Not to mention the movements made by these two brothers and sisters in the palace, the eldest grandson took the rest of the family members to prepare early in the morning and went out of the city! The team she led is very large, Li Er's ** a large group of warblers Yanyan, plus a few little Lori, Xiao Zhengtai. Anyway, in addition to the sick Li Lizhi in the family, there is also the very assertive Li Kuan, and the rest are subordinates.
Chang'an is huge, at least in the Tang Dynasty, there is no bigger city than this city. The city wall is several feet high, guarding the capital of the Tang Dynasty. This city, which was expanded on the basis of the Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty, covers an area of 83 square kilometers. The repair is square, facing the Imperial City Vermilion Bird Gate, the Mingde Gate of the Chengtian Gate of the Miyagi City was occupied by a group of people from the Qin Wangfu at this time, and the rest of the people who watched the excitement stood in the surrounding open space.
