Chapter 24: The Sound of Water

Xue Chongxun sent Zhang Shuo away and went back to the study for a while. It's within the boundaries of his house, but it's only today that I found out for the first time that it's really nice, quiet and comfortable. In particular, the back porch, which I forgot who designed it, really integrates architecture and nature.

There is a small pond with a rockery in the corridor, but the water in the pond is not stagnant, but the water of the "Listening to the Rain Lake" is drawn. A bamboo pole stretches out from the rockery, and the water flows out of the bamboo tube slowly, and the sound of the water is soft, just like a natural music. There are several cherry trees on the banks of the pond, and the fruit seems to be ripe.

The Tang people prefer cherry blossoms and cherries, and cherries are completely fruitful at banquets. Some of the preferences of the eastern island nations that fully studied Tang culture were also heavily influenced by Tang customs.

Xue Chongxun walked under a cherry tree, picked a bunch of cherries, put them under the bamboo tube of flowing water and washed them, and then ate them, sweet and tender, really good.

At night, he could not help but stay and rest in the courtyard where the study was, which had seven or eight rooms, among which there were beds, and there was a place to sleep.

Early the next morning, it was the day of the fifth day of the Great Dynasty, and Xue Chongxun also had to participate, so he went to the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace to congratulate Emperor Li Shouli. Xue Chongxun's life in Chang'an was relatively homely, many times he was at home, and he didn't like to go out to eat, drink and have fun, when he saw Brother Fen Li Shouli, he suddenly had an idea: I'm afraid Brother Fen is more homely. I heard that Brother Fen usually likes to practice Tai Chi, and then kills time with his group of women in the wine, except for a big court every five days, he basically will not go out of Penglai Palace.

Maybe Brother Fen is still alive and well, saving a lot of worry.

The main thing in the court is bells, drums, ceremonial music, a kind of ritual, and nothing serious is said. After the great dynasty dispersed, the court officials continued to walk north and went to the Zichen Palace to see Princess Taiping, and then they talked about business.

Since Xue Chongxun came to Daming Palace, he also went in with the prime ministers to participate in court discussions, and it is still very beneficial to appear on such occasions to increase the influence of politics.

Everyone struggled for a long time on the war against Tibet, and then involved a lot of things such as the Zhechong Prefecture issue and the tax issue. During this period, Zhang said that he repeatedly cast his eyes on Xue Chongxun, but Xue Chongxun did not express his support for his "Long March athletes" proposal, so Zhang Shuo couldn't help but say nothing. In the end, everyone failed to come up with a recognizable solution, and then broke up, only Xue Chongxun was stopped by Princess Taiping and stayed.

Princess Taiping sat up straight and said lightly: "Last time, I talked about your marriage......

Xue Chongxun was depressed when he thought of this, but he really couldn't help it. It seems that those who have the power to do whatever they want are still very cool, just like Tang Xuanzong in history, who fell in love with Yang Yuhuan, and his daughter-in-law and other ethics can no longer stop him, and whoever he likes is who.

He clenched his fists with helplessness and said, "But listen to your mother." โ€

Princess Taiping looked at his face, but unfortunately Xue Chongxun could only see the wide forehead when she lowered her head, and she was silent for a while before she said: "I have taken a fancy to two suitable people, Princess Huo Guo and the county lord of Yuyao, both of whom are in the same vein as the Emperor, who do you prefer?" โ€

Yuyao county lord? Xue Chongxun thought about it for a while, and then realized that the county lord of Yuyao was Li Yan'er, who was sealed not long ago.

Isn't that still a little girl, and it's his niece, who may be younger than Pei Niang in his family. Xue Chongxun's heart was blocked, but he thought of Huo Guo, who was fat and fat...... Between the two pieces of flesh on her face was a strange mouth. When Xue Chongxun thought that the woman might accompany him for the rest of his life, a cold sweat was about to come out.

He didn't need to think about it at all, and immediately said: "If you choose one of the two, it's still Li Yan'er......" He said in his heart, at least it's a cute little Lori, it's not easy to use, it's easy to use or not, it's also eye-catching when you put it around, and people have to live a few years longer.

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "Very good, I'll handle this matter, you can go back first." โ€

Xue Chongxun saluted: "The son of the minister retired. โ€

Princess Taiping was very neat, and within two days she summoned the Sun family and told her about it. It's called proposing, but what objection can the Sun family have? Even if there is an objection, there is no right to refuse the peace. This thing is obviously very smooth.

In fact, Sun was very happy, she never thought that as a loser, her daughter could marry such a high family. The Xue family has not only married Li Tang for generations, but also is a big family in Hedong, and its foundation is not shallow. Sun's heart said: Unless her in-laws bully Li Yan'er, Li Yan'er will not be wronged.

Just when she was secretly happy, suddenly someone knocked on the courtyard door outside, and Sun went to open the door, only to see Wang Zhaoyi and others outside. As soon as Wang Zhaoyi saw Sun, he fell to his knees with a thud.

Sun was also taken aback, originally thought that she was here to make amends, but it was a bit of a surprise to kneel.

Wang Zhaoyi said with a sad face: "I don't know Mount Tai with dog eyes, and I have offended a lot, so please don't care about the villain." โ€

Sun was cautious and humble to people after moving to this secluded courtyard, but she didn't always keep her voice down. Now in this situation, she is already fearless, standing in front of Wang Zhaoyi without pressure, bowing down to her, and said coldly: "Wang Zhaoyi, being a man is not what you do. โ€

"Yes, yes, the princess has taught me a lesson, I made a big mistake in a moment of confusion!"

Sun raised her head, although her figure looked a little weak, but as soon as her momentum was taken out, that noble temperament was still not inferior at all: "Don't worry, I won't worry about you this time." I can't afford to lose face with someone like you. Let's go, don't let me see you again! โ€

Wang Zhaoyi kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your great kindness, princess." โ€

At this moment, Li Yan'er had just come back from Jincheng, and when she saw Wang Zhaoyi kneeling there, she couldn't help but rub her eyes with her fingers and suspect that she had seen it wrong. After a while, Li Yan'er couldn't help laughing, pointed at Wang Zhaoyi and said, "Mother, what's wrong with her?" โ€

Being ridiculed, Wang Zhaoyi's mood can be imagined, her face rose redder than pork liver, but she couldn't say a word, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Sun waved his sleeves: "Let's go, do others look good when they see you?" โ€

Wang Zhaoyi got up and walked away.

Sun took Li Yan'er's hand and walked into the courtyard, and Li Yan'er kept asking what was going on all the way. When they returned to the house, Sun pulled Li Yan'er to sit beside him, opened his mouth and didn't speak, when tears suddenly came out.

Li Yan'er's eyes widened and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Did Wang Zhaoyi bully you again...... No, it's obviously her kneeling there. โ€

Sun wiped a handful of tears and said, "My mother is happy, but she is a little reluctant." โ€

Li Yan'er looked at her blankly.

Sun slowly took out a handkerchief, gently wiped away his tears, exhaled, and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping summoned me today and proposed to me. โ€

"What propose?" Li Yan'er understood a little and repeated in a daze.

Sun said: "Let you marry her eldest son Xue Chongxun...... Although he is a continuation, you will marry as a main room Ming media. Yan'er's destination is very good, and she must know how to be content and cherish. โ€

"Xue Chongxun?!" Li Yan'er stood up suddenly, with an angry face, but quickly remembered what her mother usually instilled in her, and sat down helplessly, "Although my mother told me not to be hateful, I also understand what my mother taught me, but we ...... That's ridiculous! โ€

Sun Shi Zhengse said: "Ridiculous? Is the marriage event child's play, let alone the marriage between the royal family and the big family, where do you think it's ridiculous? โ€

Li Yan'er pursed her lips and looked at Sun pitifully, not knowing what to say, and heard Sun say: "Princess Taiping herself spoke, stricter than the holy decree, there is absolutely no possibility of change, you should learn to be sensible, learn to be sophisticated, so that you can live peacefully and peacefully, the road is still very long, understand?" โ€

Just as Xue Chongxun is very helpless, Li Yan'er is also powerless, as a clan, she has heard a lot about marriage, and naturally understands it. She was bored for a long time before she said: "That mother and I are fine, whether we are locked up in Daming Palace or in the Xue family, it's all the same anyway." โ€

Li Yan'er finally recognized the reality, Sun couldn't help laughing when she heard her stupid words, touched her head and said, "Have you ever heard of marrying a person and taking your mother?" โ€

"So I won't be able to see my mother in the future?" Li Yan'er stared at her beautiful eyes.

Sun sighed and said: "I can see, if you get married, you can go back to your parents' house to save your relatives, but you should fulfill your wife's responsibilities, and you can't run back in three days." The female boss always has to go out...... Look at the nest of swallows in our yard, the little swallows will go out to build their nests again after being fed by their mothers, and they can't be crowded with the big swallows all the time. โ€

Li Yan'er was suddenly anxious, and grabbed Sun's hand and didn't let go: "I don't!" If I don't get married, I just want to be with my mother! โ€

"If you are so ignorant again, my mother will be angry!" Sun's Zhengsedao.

Li Yan'er wiped a handful of tears: "My mother wants to drive me away...... Other people's homes are full of people I don't know, and I'm scared ......"

Sun took him into his arms, and the mother and daughter were reluctant to part for a long time. Sun Shi was careless and sad, and said to himself: "I didn't discipline you well, it's too late to regret it now, and the truth of being a person and doing things in the future can only be understood and explored by yourself...... It's too late for my mother to do anything now, but there is one sentence that you must remember: From now on, the Xue family is your home. You must remember! โ€

Of course Li Yan'er doesn't think that the strange Xue family is actually her home? Sun had to tell her repeatedly, and she was very uneasy. Then he taught her some adult things, especially the things that should be paid attention to on the night of the cave room, which Li Yan'er didn't understand at all. There was no way, so Sun had to give her popular science knowledge temporarily. When Li Yan'er heard those things for the first time, she was curious and resistant, and listened with her eyes narrowed. The mother and daughter talked until nightfall, as if they had endless words, until the light dimmed, and Sun suddenly said: "It's dark, I have to cook, Yan'er is hungry, right?" โ€
