Chapter 136: New Year
Compared with the first day of the previous year, she followed Li Qingning and Li Qingrou to pay New Year's greetings like a fly without a head, and ran for a whole day.
Before entering the city, the car slowed down, Zi Qi and Parsley came over with their dresses and put them on Li Ran again, and Xie Ze also changed into the previous dress, got in the car and went straight to the palace.
Although the New Year's Day festival is complicated, it will end around noon.
The great court of the women and the courtiers will not be together.
After dispersing the court meeting and coming out of the main hall, Mrs. Xie supported Mrs. An and watched Li Ran come out, the two of them greeted her, Mrs. An looked at Li Ran and smiled: "Tired, right?" ”
"It's fine." Li Ran bowed slightly.
"Let's go first." Mrs. An motioned to Li Ran, "On the emperor's side, there are foreign envoys, and there are many courtesies, and they have to be half an hour later than ours." ”
"Okay." Li Ran smiled and nodded.
He was much later than her, and after letting her come out, he would go back by himself first, and Xie Ze had explained to her.
However, there is no need to explain this, what Mrs. An meant when she said these words was probably that she wanted to walk this long way out of the imperial city with her, and wanted to talk to her, perhaps, there was something else.
"I heard that those brothers are very compatible with General Zhou?"
The topic of Mrs. An starts with the An brothers.
"Well, General Zhou respects strength, she can't beat them, besides, General Zhou has won a lot of silver from them." Li Ran smiled.
"I've heard that." Mrs. An laughed, and Mrs. Xie also laughed: "Sister Ji came over a few years ago and said that the third brother and they went to see the excitement a few times and lost a lot of silver. ”
"Sister Ji came over and said something."
Mrs. An took Mrs. Xie's words.
"It was said that Mrs. Miao of Zhongyi Bo's Mansion went to look for her on purpose, and she explained it for more than an hour.
said that she offended you at the beginning, firstly, it hindered the face of the lady and the old lady of Chang'an, and she only dared to do that at that time, and secondly, the second sister of her family was with Sister Rou, and she learned from Sister Rou in everything, and this temper was too pampered.
Say yes, let Sister Tuo accompany you first, and see if you can find an opportunity to let her take her second sister and accompany you in person. ”
"Because of the wine in the second year of junior high school?"
After listening intently, Li Ran looked at Mrs. An and asked.
"Mrs. Miao went to find her sister, it was the day after you sent out the New Year's wine post, it can only be because of this." Old Mrs. An looked at Li Ran with a smile.
She likes smart girls, how nice!
"I didn't invite Zhongyi Bofu, not because she offended me.
I asked Mama Sang that since the accident in Zhongyongbo's Mansion, the people in Zhongyibo's Mansion have never been on the door of Zhongyongbo's Mansion again.
After I got married, the second lady of Zhongyi Bofu, never went to Chang'an Hou Mansion again, never looked for Li Qingrou again, before, I heard that she was going to come to the door every day at most.
Such a person is close and needs to be vigilant at all times.
I'm too busy to spend my energy on such vigilance. ”
Li Ran explained very carefully.
Mrs. Xie frowned slightly, looked at Mrs. An, Mrs. An glanced at Mrs. Xie, and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Mrs. Xie hesitated for a moment, and said with a hint of caution: "Uncle Zhongyi's Mansion is indeed too powerful, and it cannot be handed over, let alone trusted.
But the favor is moving forward, most of it is face-saving, you come and go. ”
After a pause, Mrs. Xie then smiled and said: "Besides, if you don't invite Uncle Zhongyi, Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion is closed to filial piety at this time, and you can't invite it, let people gossip, I'm afraid that if you want to say that it is a family that is close to the Marquis of Chang'an, you won't invite you."
That's not a good thing. ”
"Me and ......"
Li Ran paused, and replaced the word Xie Ze on her lips with Lin Feng, which was reminded by Mama Sang.
"Lin Feng, I don't need to entertain anyone, these are the words that Lin Feng told me before I got married.
Now, with a home again, I feel that I don't need to socialize more now than before.
Isn't that so? ”
Li Ran looked at Mrs. An and asked.
"Up, yes. ...... down"
Mrs. An's words paused, lowered her eyes, and took a few steps before she looked at Li Ran and said: "It's that I think too much, I have too many scruples, this reputation is not famous, you are not lacking, I think of you as an ordinary person."
Just do what you think.
It's I want to be left. ”
Li Ran hummed in a low voice and didn't speak again.
……………………
The New Year in the Returning City was completely different from the New Ages that Li Qingrou had passed through in the past nearly twenty years.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the family should be closed and celebrated, she was forcibly dragged out of the door by her angry eldest brother and dragged into the Shuai Mansion in the snow.
It is inappropriate to say that it is the Shuai Mansion, it should be the school field opposite the open Shuai Mansion.
The school field, which usually runs horses and trains troops, is very lively at this time.
In the middle of the day, there are piles of majestic bonfires, surrounded by sheds, which hold out snowflakes and the cold wind on three sides.
Under the large shed, there were braziers everywhere, and the braziers were very large, and they were not burning charcoal, but large pieces of wood.
In the middle of the shed, there are eight immortal tables one by one, and steaming large pieces of mutton, pork, chicken, duck and fish have been placed on the table.
The bustle extends from the school field to the Shuai Mansion, and extends to the front of the simple but spacious five-bay lobby of the Shuai Mansion.
In the middle of the lobby, Huo Shuai sat high in the middle, looking very good.
On both sides of Huo Shuai, at rows of long tables, sat Li Qingan and other generals.
In the two rooms on the right, there are seven or eight tables of eight immortals, and Li Qingrou and other military ladies are sitting.
Li Qingrou is next to her sister-in-law Sun Xiuniang, and next to Sun Xiuniang, there is Huo Shuai's second son, Huo Wenjie's daughter-in-law, Wen Er's grandmother.
Huo Wenjie and Grandma Wen did not live with Huo Shuai, but found another place to live, which happened to be next to Sun Xiuniang's family.
Second Grandma Wen is the only person who is willing to walk around after Li Qingrou arrives in Guiyuan City, but Second Grandma Wen doesn't like Li Qingrou.
Wen's second grandmother was born as a military general, and since she was a child, she and her mother have followed General Wen to fight in the east and west, and she has learned a good kung fu, and her temperament is straightforward and simple.
But she doesn't have the patience of Sun Xiuniang, at least not the patience of Sun Xiuniang to Li Qingrou.
Li Qingrou went a few times, the first time Grandma Wen was polite, the second time was okay, and the third time, Grandma Wen couldn't bear it, Li Qingrou just mentioned that if she was in the capital, how to enjoy the flowers and snow, she was trained by Wen Er's grandmother.
Since then, Li Qingrou has taken a detour when she sees Grandma Wen.
At this time, Sun Xiuniang originally wanted Li Qingrou to sit between her and Grandma Wen'er, but Li Qingrou grabbed Sun Xiuniang and asked Sun Xiuniang to sit between her and Grandma Wen.
After Huo Shuai toasted two or three rounds of wine, Sun Xiuniang stood up, explained a few words to Li Qingrou in a low voice, and together with Grandma Wen, went back to watch today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Li Qingrou tightened her sable cloak, held the hand stove, and looked lonely at the hustle and bustle outside and the flying snowflakes.
Next to Li Qingrou, there was a beautiful and lively little lady, looking at Li Qingrou from time to time, and then biting her ear and laughing with a little lady who looked very gentle next to her.
"You're Grandma Sun, right?"
The beautiful little lady and her companion bit their ears for a while, and when they saw that Sun Xiuniang and Grandma Wen were gone, they looked at Li Qingrou and started talking with a smile.
"My surname is Liu, my husband's surname is Yang, and she is the daughter-in-law of General Yao."
"My surname is Li." Li Qingrou was not very happy when Yang Liu called her grandmother.
"I know, you are General Li's youngest sister, and your sister-in-law is also your eldest sister."
Yang Liushi didn't seem to notice Li Qingrou's unhappiness with her surname Li Li, and the second sentence revealed the excitement of gossip.
Li Qingrou glanced at her obliquely and didn't answer.
"Captain Sun went out of the city to inspect today, and I heard that he took the initiative to ask for the messenger, and Huo Shuai praised him in public."
The daughter-in-law of General Yao next to Yang Liu's family stretched out her head and smiled with Li Qingrou.
Li Qingrou snorted more than just now.
"The first time I saw your Captain Sun, I thought Captain Sun was General Li's younger brother.
The first thing is to hear that General Li's younger brothers and sisters are coming to the army, and Ah Duo and I haven't figured out who is whose brother and whose sister is who, so we will assume that your Captain Sun is General Li's younger brother. ”
Yang Liushi looked talkative and rapped, stretched out his hand to pull Yao Bijiang's daughter-in-law Ah Duo, looked at Li Qingrou, and laughed.
"My eldest brother is with ...... Da Lang is not like it at all! ”
Li Qingrou glared at Yang Liu.
"Can't blame us either."
Ah Duo stretched out his head and smiled:
"General Li and Captain Sun look exactly the same from a distance, they are both thick and short, they even walk alike, no matter how you look at it, they look like they are trotting all the way."
"However, if you look closer, you still look like your eldest brother."
Yang Liushi answered:
"I heard that you six brothers and sisters, are they all alike?"
"They are seven brothers and sisters, and Grandma Sun has a younger sister, I heard that your sister is good-looking? So she's not like your family at all? ”
Ah Duo looked curious.
Li Qingrou's face sank.
She and her sister ...... Let's not talk about this, you are really similar to your eldest brother, eyebrows and eyes, exactly the same. ”
It seems that Yang Liu's is a little stronger than Ah Duo, and he slapped Ah Duo and pulled the topic back to his appearance.
"My eldest brother is a man, and I am my daughter's family, how can it be exactly the same?"
Li Qingrou glanced at Yang Liu.
"It's exactly the same, I told Ah Duo that day, if Grandma Sun changed into men's clothes...... Hey, if you change into men's clothes, with General Li and Captain Sun, then we will definitely recognize you and General Li at a glance. ”
Yang Liu even laughed.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Qingrou's face turned blue.
She is a beautiful little girl, although not the most top-notch, but also quite beautiful, this is what she has known about herself in the past twenty years.
But what does Yang Liushi mean by this?
She wears men's clothes, just like her eldest brother and Sun Daqing?
So what does she have to be ugly?
Yang Liu's and Ah Duo's faces were both stunned, Yang Liu's looked at Ah Duo, Ah Duo looked at Yang Liu's, and then looked at Li Qingrou, whose face was blue, and said tentatively:
"It's not interesting, everyone is just gossiping.
That day, my general Yao Bi also said, it's still good like Grandma Sun, when the war is in chaos, you can be a man by changing clothes casually, like me and her, but you can't be a man......"
Li Qingrou glared at Ah Duo, Ah Duo looked at Li Qingrou who was about to burst into tears, her voice became lower and lower, and she didn't dare to continue.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Liushi was even more inexplicable, and reached out and gently pushed Li Qingrou, who was pale.
"Why do I look like a man anymore?" Li Qingrou trembled her lips and reluctantly asked.
"Everyone says that you are exactly the same as your eldest brother...... You're better looking than your big brother! ”
Yang Liushi finally reacted and smiled dryly.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Xiaoling......"
Ah Duo also understood, and hurriedly added, but the two words Linglong swirled on the tip of Ah Duo's tongue, but she didn't want to spit it out, she was neither small nor exquisite.
Li Qingrou stared at the two of them in a daze, stood up suddenly, rushed to the door of the house, paused again, turned around, walked to the brazier in the corner of the house, and slowly squatted down.
She wanted to rush out, rush home, or even rush back to the capital.
But she didn't know which direction to rush in, which was the direction to go home......
Li Qingrou looked at the cheerful and beating flames in a daze, and tears fell down one by one.
