Chapter 336: The moon shines like water
Liu Wensu has been away from home for nearly ten years, and the thin peasant boy at the beginning is now a young and promising minister, and he is still thin and long, but his shoulders are enough to support the widowed mother and eldest sister.
It is often said that thirty is standing.
This should be the best embodiment of Liu Wensu.
The career is bright, and he is about to marry a noble girl from a high family, even if it is not a noble daughter with five surnames, the Qinghe Li family now lives up to the power of the year, but in the end, it is the family lady of Queen Taizong, the virtuous name of Queen Taizong has been widely spread so far, and some people even compare it with the virtuous queen in the early ancient period, and the lady of her family is also correspondingly quite popular, not worse than the noble daughter of the five surnames, and it is also the envy of the world's corporal literati to marry the daughter of the Qinghe Li family as a wife.
Mother and son, sister and brother, have not seen each other for ten years, and when they meet again, Liu Wensu has achieved such an achievement, and Grandma Liu and Liu's family can be said to be overjoyed.
Especially the eldest sister of the Liu family, her hard work and energy invested in Liu Wensu are no less than those for her own children.
The widowed mother, Grandma Liu, was a woman like a silk flower, and after the untimely death of Liu's father, the Liu family independently supported the family.
She has been reading and reading since she was a child, Liu's father cultivated her like a man, the father and daughter have a deep relationship, and know that Liu's father's greatest wish in this life is to take the imperial examination.
In order to achieve her deceased father's last wish, she fought with her clansmen, even if it was difficult, she had to keep enough family property for her brother to study, even if she was later criticized by the whole village and made it difficult for her mother-in-law's family, she also endured in every possible way just to support her mother's family and let her brother study in a good environment as much as possible.
At first, she was for Father Liu, and later she was for this brother who knew how to feel sorry for her.
Like her youngest daughter, she is sensible at a young age, which makes people feel distressed.
That is, at the age of five or six, he is only a little tall, so he gets up early to read and practice calligraphy regardless of cold or summer, and he must share eggs with her eldest sister no matter how greedy he is.
Too many of their sisters and brothers depend on each other for their lives, and now everything has survived, her brother lives up to expectations, ascends to the temple, marries a noble daughter, and all the hardships that their sisters and brothers have endured in the past have been rewarded today.
The feeling in Liu's heart seems to have a thousand words, and he can cry a thousand lines just by looking at it.
But today, when your loved ones will see each other after ten years of separation, it is not good to cry no matter what.
That night, it is natural to have a good time to celebrate the wine.
It is also worthy of Liu's praise for this brother and daughter-in-law who has not yet met, Li Siniang will indeed handle things.
Let the table sent to eat, considering that the meal is cold and affect the taste, it is simply spring and summer, so there is no hot dish with soup and water, and the dish is mainly cold dishes, with a few flavors of dim sum, and with good sake, the plate is beautiful, and the taste is not affected at all.
In this way, coupled with a roast goose and roast chicken that Liu Chenxing bought, Grandma Liu cooked another pot of mushroom soup, and there was a table of rich food.
Originally, it was a country family, and it was not so easy to be exquisite, so I put together a few low cases in the hall, and seven people gathered around to celebrate the reunion after a long absence.
Liu Wensu and everyone have been separated for the longest time, and the protagonist of tonight's banquet is naturally Liu Wensu.
Ten years is really too long, just one letter a year is not enough to know Liu Wensu's situation in Chang'an, even if Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan talk about how good Liu Wensu is along the way, it is far from being as good as Liu Wensu himself to reassure Grandma Liu and Liu.
Everyone is very discerning, knowing that Grandma Liu and the Liu family are Liu Wensu's closest relatives, and they have been thinking about Liu Wensu in Chang'an all these years.
Therefore, on this night, Liu Qianli and Liu Qinghai were very tacit as a listener, listening to Liu Wensu talk about the bits and pieces of the past ten years, listening to Grandma Liu and Liu echoing with tears from time to time, and then asked Liu Wensu about others.
Of course, when Grandma Liu and Liu's mother and daughter said that they wanted to drop the golden beans, Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan jumped out at the right time, one poured wine and the other persuaded to drink, and the brother and sister gags together to liven up the atmosphere.
Liu Qianli is a straight man of steel, and he has always been silent, so he raised his head upright and drank with everyone, drinking glass after glass with everyone.
His wife has always been thinking about Liu Wensu in her heart, and now that she sees that Liu Wensu is good at everything, his wife is happy, and he is happy.
Wine can help fun, amplify a person's emotions, and probably the wine sent by Li Siniang is a good wine that cannot be bought on the market, and the degree is higher than ordinary sake.
Grandma Liu was not very drunk at first, and she was a little unwell before the third watch arrived, so Liu Chenxing helped her back to the room to rest.
Then the Liu family finally saw his brother, and when he saw that his brother was doing so well, he was sleepy under great joy and sorrow, and when he was a child, he was helped back to the room by Liu Chenxing.
When Liu Chenxing returned to the main hall, he saw a table of cups and plates, and Aya Liu Qianli took Liu Qingshan and Liu Qinghai to sleep on the table.
For these three five big and three thick northern men, Liu Chenxing felt that his small arms and legs could not send them back to rest, so he could only look at them apologetically, indicating that there was nothing he could do, and then turned his head and walked out of the hall and went to the courtyard to find Liu Wensu.
It was already midnight, the moon had risen high, and a faint touch of light was thinly enveloped in the courtyard, Liu Wensu wore a light green seven-grade official uniform that had not yet been changed, and stood with his hands in his hands.
"Uncle." Liu Chenxing walked down the wooden stairs of the main room and called out in a loud voice.
Liu Wensu turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that although Liu Chenxing's cheeks were red from drinking, his eyes were brighter than the stars tonight, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Chenxing's eyes more and more warm, and said with a smile: "You Aye, they are all asleep." ”
The statement is a question, but the tone is an affirmation.
Liu Chenxing stepped forward, and also learned from Uncle Liu's hands behind his back, and then tilted his head and smiled: "It's a shame that Aye always says that he has a good amount of alcohol, but he gets drunk." ”
Liu Wensu glanced back at the brightly lit main hall and said, "You Aye, they are tired." After a pause, he said: "And tonight's wine is quite pure, and it is inevitably intoxicating." ”
Hearing Liu Wensu mention tonight's wine, thinking that this wine was sent by Mrs. Li, the smile on Liu Chenxing's face was stunned, and he simply didn't hide it, and directly raised his head and asked, "Uncle, have you seen Mrs. Li?" ”
In front of Uncle Liu, she is her, and she doesn't need any scruples.
She had wanted to ask for a long time, but she hadn't had a chance tonight.
Compared with Mrs. Li, who had never met, Liu and Grandma Liu wanted to know more about Liu Wensu's life over the years, and never mentioned this future family member.
