Chapter 49: Congratulations on the Homecoming
"You stinky boys, get me out of here." Wu Zhao'er waved the feather duster in her hand, and shouted angrily under the bed: "Tell me honestly, did you feed the elephants in the Houshan Zoo?" ”
A weak voice came from under the bed, "Sister Wu, isn't it just to feed the elephants, didn't Daddy just stay in the village to feed them when he caught them back from Lingnan, why are you so angry." ”
Wu Zhao'er, who was standing on the edge of the bed, laughed angrily, and sneered at the three points of anger: "It's easy to say, but those elephants now spray water when they see people, and the keepers who go to feed are sprayed five times a day, and on this cold day, they may be infected with wind chill if they spray once, and those elephants are like crazy, and they spray when they see people, how should you three little naughty explain this?!" I heard the housekeeper Chen of Houshan Zoo say that those elephants may have developed such a bad habit because they can get delicious food as long as they spray water. ”
Wu Zhao'er said this, there was a movement under the bed, and the three boys cowered and got out of the bed, the eldest looked like he was in his teens, and the youngest was only four or five years old, it was Xu Nianqing, Xu Xingtang, Xu Guanghua The three brothers, I saw that their brothers were gray-headed, and they looked quite funny, one was the eldest son of the royal's daughter, one was Liu Mengli's eldest son, and the rest was Jin Shengman's second son, Usually when they make mistakes in the village, it is usually Xiao Wu who will punish them, so they are afraid of Xiao Wu even more than they are afraid of several housewives in the village.
"Sister Wu, we were wrong. We shouldn't use sugar cane to trick elephants into spraying water. I promise not to do it next time. "Xu Nianqing is the oldest. So first of all, admit your mistakes.
Wu Zhao'er sat at the table next to her, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and didn't speak, as if she was waiting for something.
Xu Xingtang also reacted and pulled Xu Guanghua's sleeve vigorously, and the brothers also confessed their mistake and asked Wu Zhao for forgiveness.
Wait until the brothers reflect on their mistakes. Wu Zhaocai sat up, sighed and said: "Originally, this kind of thing should be your father to discipline you, but your father is a first-class figure in our Datang, this kind of trivial matter, where can he bother, so every time I come to teach you, you must remember that you are the sons of Guigu, and you will become the top person in Datang in the future." This kind of naughty thing, do less next time! ”
The three brothers hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking rice......
At this moment, Xu Yang didn't know what his son did in Zhuangzhong. Even if he knew, he would probably laugh it off, after all, as a modern person, he had personally felt the naughtiness of boys, and he beat dogs everywhere when he was young.
Life in Zhuangzhong is plain and comfortable, but it can occasionally make waves, such as today, when the army that has returned from the battlefield on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is about to enter Chang'an.
Li Er attached great importance to the triumph of the army, and announced that hundreds of civil and military officials would go out of the city ten miles to greet him, and Xu Yang was also among them, so today he followed the bustling group of officials to the Shili Pavilion outside Chang'an to wait for the returning army.
Chang'an has completely entered the winter, there is still more than half a month to celebrate the Spring Festival, the time is quietly fast Yang Huang into Zhenguan eleven years, the border army marched for three months, and finally rushed back to Chang'an on the eve of the Spring Festival.
There is no snow in Chang'an this year, but the weather is much colder than in previous years, Chang'an has set up a honeycomb coal stove from door to door, looking down from the high-rise building of Chang'an Business Club, you will see the whole Chang'an, every household will rise white water mist, that is, the cold air liquefies into water vapor outside the warm house.
Outside the Shili Pavilion, Li Eryi wore a mink jacket, a dragon crown on his head, and a sword at his waist, looking full of majesty, but the slightly whitish sideburns still made people sigh that the years were like knives.
Xu Yang shivered a little in the cold wind, I really don't know why he had to wear an official uniform to greet the army, he had always worn a down jacket in Zhuang, but suddenly wore a Ziyun official uniform with only two thin layers, and now he felt that his teeth were fighting up and down.
He suddenly remembered Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman's meritorious appearance when they dressed him in official uniforms early in the morning, he was really respectful and worshipy, what a stupid mother-in-law, on this cold day, they actually instigated their husbands to dress like this, aren't they afraid that they will go out and freeze to death?
Before he could continue to complain, a puff of dust was raised on the city road outside the Shili Pavilion, and soon, he saw a pile of black-pressed cavalry circling out of the corner of the mountain in the distance.
Li Er's expression was straight, and the officials in the surrounding states and counties of Chang'an also hurriedly straightened out their clothes, and the civil and military officials behind Li Er all stood solemnly, staring at the direction of the army with their eyes.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, Xu Yang squinted his eyes, and saw that at the front of the cavalry, a general in silver armor and white robe was galloping over......
The cold wind could not dispel the blood in Xue Rengui's heart, although the weather was cold, but Xue Rengui could not feel the slightest cold, the victory post in his hand had been wet and wet, and there was hot sweat on his forehead, the more he moved in the direction of Chang'an, the heavier Xue Rengui's breathing became.
The huge stone pavilion inscription of the Shili Pavilion in the distance has been faintly seen, on the edge of the Shili Pavilion, there are a group of people, the person standing in the front, wearing a golden crown and a big jacket, must be the current Holy Son of Heaven.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui was even more excited, and rode his horse and whipped, just hoping to be faster.
Less than ten miles away, the army soon arrived, tightened the horse's head, slowed down, Xue Rengui let out a long sigh, flew down, and knelt in front of Li Er, a set of actions flowed smoothly, almost stunned Xu Yang.
"Qi Yu Majesty, the last general is Xue Rengui, the left guard general of the expeditionary force, our army won a great victory in the Green Ridge, killed more than 100,000 enemies, and our army suffered 1,300 people, and now General Li Ji escorted Prince Li Ke to lead 150,000 soldiers to sit in Tubo, and the last general commander 20,000 soldiers returned to China, and asked His Majesty to make it clear." After that, Xue Rengui also knelt on one knee and presented the victory post of the army's achievements with both hands.
Bai Mei took the post, and then handed it to Li Er, only to see Li Er's eyes blazing at the victory post, and said loudly: "This big victory, General Xue and all the generals have worked hard, and the main force of the Great Food Country has been wiped out, this is a rare victory for the founding of my Tang Dynasty, I have prepared a banquet, and all the soldiers can take off their armor and drink with me, and they will not get drunk today, and they should be congratulated by the general!" ”…… (To be continued......)
