Chapter 181: Martial Sisters
"Whew!"
As soon as the curtain was opened, the cold wind poured into the room.
Seeing the little guy running in in a panic, the middle-aged man with a handful of goatee said slowly: "San'er, what do you look like in a panic?" If you let the eldest prince see your virtue, it will be another meal of flesh and skin! β
Swallowing his saliva, the little guy yelled nervously: "Five, fifth uncle, eldest lady...... No, Her Royal Highness Princess Mingshuo has returned home! β
Because yesterday, Li Shimin's holy decree was issued, and all the people in the Yingguo Mansion no longer called Wushun the eldest lady, but called her Her Royal Highness the Princess, which is an honor and belongs to the glory of the Wufu.
"What did you say?" The middle-aged man, who was called the fifth uncle by San'er, stood up abruptly and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is back?" β
"Hmm!" San'er took a breath and continued: "And it's not a person, yes, yes...... It's back with His Royal Highness King Wu! β
"Warrior King...... Quick, go and inform the eldest and second sons! The fifth uncle said with an anxious expression.
San'er turned around and was about to leave the house, but the next moment he turned back again.
"Well, I said you'd go quickly?" The fifth uncle said angrily.
"Fifth uncle, the eldest son and the second son have already left the house at three o'clock, and they haven't come back yet!" San'er said.
βFifth Uncle shook his head, patted his head suddenly, and said, "Look at my memory!" I'll go to the master, you go and let all the people in the house go out to find the two sons, and be sure to find them back!" β
"Okay!" San'er answered, lifted the curtain and trotted out.
β¦β¦
Yingguo Mansion, the left direction of the backyard, or the small courtyard where the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold.
"Mother, there are footsteps, could it be that my eldest brother and second brother are here again?" A crisp, distinctly stubborn voice. There was a knock from behind the door.
"It doesn't matter, my mother is now a first-class lady of the saint's own title, if the two of them dare to come rudely, even if my mother fights for this life, she wants them to be the last in the martial arts!" Another voice, full of softness and firmness, sounded.
Li Yuanba froze there just when he was about to knock on the door, and said in his heart: "I'll take it, don't you say that the Yang family is virtuous and virtuous, abides by women's morals, and loves children...... Why don't you stop at every turn! It must not be a person, right? β
Wu Shun's face was also a little red. What's wrong with my mother, why is she suddenly so 'domineering' today?
"Squeak!"
At this moment, with the sound of the squeaky door shaft turning, a pretty and lovely little girl appeared at the half-open door, poking out her little head with a bun, and her face was full of vigilance: "You, who are you...... Sister! Eldest sister! β
As soon as Wu Shun poked his head out, he immediately attracted the little girl's gaze, and a crisp cheer echoed in the small courtyard that was not spacious.
"Sanniang. What's your girl's name, why are you so unruly? β
There was another voice in the courtyard, a very mellow female voice, which seemed to have a coquettishness. This voice is a young girl, no need to ask, it must be Wu Shun's own sister, the first empress in Li Yuanba's previous life. Wu Zhao, Wu Zetian!
"Sanniang, have you been naughty in the past two days? All right. Don't jump anymore, haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Martial King soon? β
It can be seen that Wu Shun loves this third sister very much, and took her in his arms and kissed her, only then did he remember that Li Yuanba was still standing by his side, and couldn't help touching the little girl's head, pointing at Li Yuanba and saying.
Hearing her eldest sister's introduction, the little girl was obviously stunned for a moment.
After a long while, she blinked her big watery eyes, pointed at Lian Li Yuanba and screamed: "Ah...... You, you, are you His Royal Highness the Martial King? The martial king Li Yuanba, who 'punished the county order and punished the Song family with a rod', 'the gentleman's six arts defeated the five surnames and seven hopes'? β
"Sanniang, how can you speak out about the name of the prince!" Wu Shun's face sank when he heard this, and he said.
"Huh? Children's words are unscrupulous, why care! Li Yuanba gently squeezed Wu Shun's little hand and smiled at Wu Sanniang: "If the guy in your mouth is no one else, then I'm afraid it's this king!" β
"Are you really the Martial King?" The little girl looked at Li Yuanba very seriously and said, "I heard that the sage personally married the eldest sister to the prince, so aren't you my brother-in-law?" β
Li Yuanba glanced at Wu Shun, then nodded to the little girl, and said, "That's right!" β
"Oh!" Wu Sanniang nodded her little head, bent down very obediently, and said, "Sanniang has seen my brother-in-law!" β
This little girl, who is only six or seven years old, is very lively and organized, and she is born with pink carving, like a porcelain doll, which is easy for people to like.
"Here, here's a bag of pastries and a few dried fruits, go get them and eat them!"
When Li Yuanba saw Wu Sanniang, it was like seeing his own sister, he took down a slightly larger box from Cheng Fu's hand behind him and handed it to the little girl.
This product is really good at giving gifts, six or seven-year-old girls, in addition to being lively and active, the best gift is to eat.
Wu Sanniang happily took the box and said sweetly: "Thank you, brother-in-law!" β
"Sanniang, there are guests, why don't you invite them to the house?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman with still charm appeared in front of the door of the backyard house.
"My daughter has seen her mother!"
As soon as Wu Shun shouted like this, Li Yuanba immediately knew who the middle-aged beautiful woman in front of him who was dressed ordinarily, but she was full of momentum, and bowed and said, "Little King Li Yuanba, I have seen Mrs. β
Although the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette, Li Yuanba's identity is there after all, the most powerful prince in the entire Tang Dynasty!
And the Yang family is just a lady of the order, although she is Wu Shun, that is, the mother of the future princess Wu, but her status is different, and Li Yuanba is not allowed to bow down.
"His Royal Highness the Martial King?" Yang hurriedly moved half a step to the left, received a half-salute, and said, "The prince has killed the concubine with this gift!" β
"Madame is serious, today Xiao Wang returned home with Shun'er, and he made a special trip to see Madame! I should have come yesterday, but I didn't arrive because I had something yesterday, and I hope that Mrs. won't blame me! β
Li Yuanba waved his hand, signaling that the Yang family didn't have to be like this.
"By the way, madam, these are gadgets, not a tribute, please ask Madame's subordinates!"
Li Yuanba nodded at Cheng Fu, and Cheng Fu immediately put the remaining boxes on a stone table in the courtyard.
"How does this work? Today's arrival of the prince has already made the humble house shine, how can the concubine receive these valuable gifts? β
The Yang family is also behind the gate, and naturally has seen some treasures, just from the packaging of this gift box, you can see that these things must be worth a lot.
Li Yuanba guessed that she would definitely refuse, so he quietly glanced at Wu Shun who was standing beside him.
Wu Shun nodded knowingly, stepped forward to hold Yang's arm, and said, "Mother, these things are a little bit of the prince's heart, if you don't accept it, the prince will definitely be unhappy!" You'd better take it, huh? β
Yang thought about it, and saw that the eldest daughter bowed slightly, so he reluctantly accepted it.
"Mother, my daughter has already made tea, and the yard is cold, so let's invite guests into the house!"
At this moment, Fang Cai's mellow voice sounded again.
"Yes, yes, it's the concubine who is confused!" Yang responded, made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Wang, please sit in the room!" β
Entering the house, before Li Yuanba could sit down, he saw the owner of the mellow voice, Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao's appearance is far younger than her actual age, although she is already eleven or twelve, she looks like she is only seven or eight years old, and her appearance has not grown at all.
However, that delicate face is completely a miniature version of Wu Shun, and it has more natural charm than Wu Shun.
Damn, born with charming bones, no wonder in his previous life, not only fascinated Li Shimin, but also caused Li Zhi's little second goods to be harmed!
"Lord Wang, this is the second daughter of the concubine, named Wu Zhao! Zhao'er, this is His Royal Highness the Martial King, don't you want to see him soon? Yang noticed that Li Yuanba was observing his second daughter, and hurriedly introduced it.
"Zhao'er has seen the prince!"
This girl has a lot of personality, she didn't call Li Yuanba her brother-in-law like Wu Sanniang, but called her the prince.
Li Yuanba forcibly held back a shock in his heart, nodded to Wu Zhao, and said, "Well, excuse me!" β
"The humble house is shabby, there is no cabinet, so I can only wronged you to sit on the couch!" Yang flicked the edge of the bed and motioned for Li Yuanba to sit down.
Li Yuanba nodded, and only now did he have time to observe the interior decoration of this room.
This room is only about 20 square meters, and it is divided into two compartments, the relatively large compartment, that is, the room where Li Yuanba is now, is simply a home with four walls, except for a bed that looks similar to the clay kang against the wall, which can be called a large object, and there is only a dresser placed at the head of the bed, a large table placed in front of the couch, and two large cabinets containing clothes.
"Damn, this samurai is enough to suck his pocket, and his son has reduced the food and clothing of his stepmother and sister to such a point, it's just crazy!"
Li Yuanba scolded in his heart.
"Lord Wang, please drink tea!" Wu Zhao stepped on small steps and put the teacup on the table in front of the couch.
"Well, thank you!" Li Yuanba nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Madam, why don't you share a room with Wu Shangshu?" β
Yang's face darkened slightly, and said: "The prince doesn't know, since the concubine married Lang Jun and gave birth to three daughters including Shun'er, Lang Jun's health has deteriorated. Suddenly, one day, the two brothers Wu Yuanqing found a Taoist priest and said that it was from Zhongnan Town, Zhouzhi County, and it was very famous in the local area anyway......"
"Zhouzhi County...... Zhongnan Town, Zhouzhi County...... "Hearing the place name in Yang's mouth, Li Yuanba repeated it twice, suddenly slapped his thigh, and said: "By the way, Zhongnan Town, Zhouzhi County, Ram Miao Feng Jiusi!" β
