Chapter XXVIII
Xue Chongxun said that Li Yan'er missed her mother and didn't think about tea and dinner, but unfortunately she was exposed on the spot, and he had no way at that time. Originally, his idea was to tell the matter more strictly, and then let the Sun family accompany his daughter to the mansion, so that he could use the Sun family to put pressure on Li Yan'er and let him succeed.
His wife is not allowed to go to bed, and he can't force it, so he has the only way. Although rape in marriage was legal in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Chongxun didn't like to use this kind of rough means, and he preferred cold violence, such as when he forced Yuwen Ji.
But now his treacherous plan has not succeeded immediately, and since Li Yan'er's longing for his mother is not strict, he is embarrassed to make his request to his mother. So he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
They talked to Taiping, Li Yan'er was going to see her mother, and Xue Chongxun also took the opportunity to hug her fists and said: "According to the etiquette, I should also visit my mother-in-law, and I happened to go over with my daughter-in-law." ”
Taiping nodded: "Are you ready to meet the gift?" ”
Xue Chongxun lifted the wooden box in his hand and said, "It's ready." ”
So they said goodbye to Taiping, and the two of them walked out of the Zichen Palace. At first, Li Yan'er walked well in a regular manner, but later she ran up and down when she was happy. Xue Chongxun was depressed, because the box he was carrying was filled with gold, which was very heavy.
Li Yan'er had a Yulu after being named the county lord, but now after she got married, she has been incorporated into Xue Chongxun's Yulu; Sun didn't eat the seal and Yulu, he thought about it, or gold is the most practical, so he brought some gold zuò utensils as gifts.
After they walked out of the Zichen Hall complex, they got into the carriage and walked along the stone road by the Tai Armpit Pond to the east bank, and Li Yan'er kept urging the groom to hurry up along the way. When the carriage reached the junction, she jumped down as fast as she could, and ran towards the familiar courtyard. Xue Chongxun shouted: "Go slower, your skirt is torn by you, what kind of body is it to jump into?" ”
Li Yan'er seemed to be in a good mood, maybe she was about to see her mother, turned around and stuck out her little tongue to make a grimace, and then continued to run. Xue Chongxun had to speed up his pace and stride to keep up.
I saw that the Sun family was already waiting at the door, and she should have heard the news that Xue Chongxun and his wife had entered the palace to see Princess Taiping. Li Yan'er called her mother, ran over, and threw herself into Sun's arms, as if she hadn't seen her for a year and a half, but in fact, it was only a few days.
Sun hugged Li Yan'er tightly for a long time, then looked up at Xue Chongxun behind him, and then let go of Li Yan'er in his arms.
I saw that Sun's height was a head taller than Li Yan'er, with cloud sideburns, and his face was obviously dressed up with fat powder. The lotus color on her body is still light and thin, and wearing such a dress makes people notice her bulging breasts...... Yan Feihuan is probably like this, with big breasts and thin waist. And she looks very young, her big eyes are very similar to Li Yan'er, and her cheekbones are a little high...... I'm only in my twenties.
However, since Li Yan'er married him, no matter how young her mother-in-law is, she is also an elder, Xue Chongxun can only follow the customs of the countryside and not be rude, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "My lord is worshiped by me." ”
Seeing this, Sun's face was happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Xue Chongxun and said, "You don't have to make this big gift, get up quickly." ”
Xue Chongxun got up and handed over the box in his hand, "A little small courtesy is that my wife and I honor you, please smile." ”
Seeing Xue Chongxun so polite, Sun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and hurriedly took out a golden ornament from his arms, "This is a concentric knot, I knit it myself, you can keep it, you can grow old together." ”
Xue Chongxun took a look at it in his hand, it was woven with gold thread, and there were gems on it, and he thought about the dowry gift given by Taiping when he married Li Yan'er, and it was estimated that it was also very rich, no wonder the Sun family was rich. He glanced at the box, a box of gold, was it too cheesy?
He took a closer look at it, and it was a very beautiful thing with fine workmanship, which was a kind of art...... Rope art, Xue Chongxun thought of this word, and then thought of the "rope art" played by Yu Yuzhai and Yuwen Ji, and thought about it for a while, and smelled it before he took it to his nose carelessly, and there was a faint fragrance.
Seeing this, Sun's face suddenly turned red, and Xue Chongxun realized that he was rude, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Because I saw that this thing was beautifully made, I couldn't help but be a little curious." ”
Li Yan'er was left out in the cold for a while, and then she hugged Sun's arm angrily and pouted: "What's so flattering about this black charcoal, my mother just talked to him." ”
Sun sighed when she heard this, probably thinking that Li Yan'er didn't look like a woman, so she couldn't help but glance at Xue Chongxun, and it happened that Xue Chongxun also looked over, she hurriedly avoided her gaze and said, "Please go and sit inside." ”
The three of them walked towards the courtyard together, because Li Yan'er still looked like a child, too short, and couldn't even reach Xue Chongxun's shoulders, this situation looked very strange, just like a family of three. Xue Chongxun said in his heart, let me marry the Sun family, and let Li Yan'er be my daughter, I'm afraid it's more reliable. But he is a favored person of Taiping, and it is impossible to get a widowed woman to marry him as a wife.
The Tang people seem to like Lori a lot, and later Bai Juyi raised some concubines, and they were just eighteen years old and changed them again.
This is the first time Xue Chongxun has entered this courtyard, and when he sent the rabbit back to the door, he looked left and right and had a feeling of familiarity, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "My lord, the layout of the study here is similar to ours. ”
Sun said casually: "Really? ”
Xue Chongxun pointed to a room in the north and said, "Is there a back porch behind this?" ”
"Exactly." Sun Shi was a little surprised, "In the past, Yan'er and I used to sit in the porch and chat...... The cherries are also ripe, let's go to the back porch, there is nothing to treat Xue Lang, just eat some fruit. ”
Xue Chongxun said politely: "Cherries are the treasures of our Tang Dynasty, by the way, Mrs. (Li Yan'er) likes it very much, and she ate a bad stomach the day before yesterday." ”
Sun couldn't help pinching Li Yan'er's face: "You're not afraid of people's jokes." ”
Li Yan'er pursed her lips and said, "It's so delicious, if you don't pay attention, you will eat too much." ”
While talking, they walked into the back porch and sat down with the guests, and Sun brought a plate of fruit and put it down, and said with a sad face: "Yan'er is still young, please bear with the people of her mother-in-law's family, and I am here to apologize." ”
"My lord's words are serious, I will definitely take good care of her." Xue Chongxun hurriedly stood up and replied. He said this, but in his heart he thought, I can tolerate other things, anyway, the Xue family has no shortage of food and clothing, but I can't marry a wife who can't do that, right?
Sun asked Li Yan'er again: "When you went to see His Royal Highness Taiping before, did she say anything to blame you for not knowing the number of courtesies?" ”
Li Yan'er shook her head: "My aunt likes me very much, and Pei Niang and the Dong family of the Black Tan family are also very interesting." ”
"Black charcoal?" Sun Shi was stunned.
Li Yan'er pouted to Xue Chongxun, "It's him." ”
"Presumptuous!" Sun Shi was suddenly furious, and said with a straight face, "Have you forgotten the rules I taught you?" If you are like this, others will scold you for your lack of discipline, and even your father and mother will be embarrassed. ”
Li Yan'er looked at her pitifully: "Mother, why are you so fierce?" ”
When Xue Chongxun saw this situation, he was overjoyed. It just so happened that Li Yan'er saw his pretending to be serious, and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know that you are laughing at me in your heart!" ”
Xue Chongxun didn't say a word, and sat upright.
Seeing that he was such a tall man, and the lintel was still prominent, she actually married Li Yan'er, she herself felt a little apologetic, and said some words of apology. Xue Chongxun said generously: "It's okay, my mother also likes Madame, I don't have any other ideas." It's just that the mother is a little anxious and asks when she will hold her grandson. ”
This sentence reminded Sun, pulled Li Yan'er, and asked in a low voice, "Have you been obedient and serve your husband well?" ”
Li Yan'er smiled: "He wanted to bully me, so I let him sleep on the ground." ”
Xue Chongxun was shocked when he heard it: Lao Tzu hasn't sued you yet, you don't want to recruit yourself first, this trick is called borrowing strength, see how your mother educates you. What I am waiting for is a situation where I can be a good person and fulfill my husband's legitimate rights. Li Yan'er is too young to be sensible, and the Sun family should understand the rules.
Sure enough, Sun's face changed greatly, and in front of Xue Chongxun, she couldn't say anything. This kind of thing can be trivial or serious. In the Tang Dynasty, three wives and four concubines were allowed, so it was generally impossible to divorce a wife, and it was a virtue for a bad wife not to go to court, and at the same time, the rights of the wife were protected by the law, and there were three main legitimate reasons for divorce...... This includes the absence of heirs. If you marry someone else and don't have children, you can legally divorce it......
Although the Tang Dynasty's restraint on women was relatively small, there was no widow to build a chaste archway for a lifetime, divorce and remarriage happened from time to time, but it was still very strict and hurtful for women to be divorced, even in the modern era of freedom. So Sun had to be nervous.
Seeing that the purpose of this had been achieved, Xue Chongxun got up and hugged his fists and said, "I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't bother the adults too much...... Madame thinks of her mother very much, it is better to stay with you for a few days, and then I will enter the palace to pick you up. ”
Sun thought of a lot of things, so he nodded and said: "It's okay, state affairs are important, I won't stay more Xue Lang, you have to do a good job of running errands." ”
Xue Chongxun said: "Follow the teachings of the adults and take your leave." ”
When the Sun family arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xue Chongxun turned around and bowed again, and said, "Your Excellency, please go back." Then I got in the car and left.
At this time, he was already happy in his heart, thinking that his psychology was also quite yin, Li Yan'er's simple little girl was not an opponent at all, and she could make her feel good with a little means. But he won't do such a thing as divorce from his wife, and since the girl is married to herself as a wife, she still has to be responsible.
His wife is too easy to deal with, and he is not worried about family affairs, but at this time, he remembered the "Long March athlete" proposed by Zhang Shuo, and his heart became heavy and he felt very entangled. G
