Chapter 14 · The prince will have a kind of Xiangning
Now the Li Mansion is preparing to do New Year's goods and is very busy, of course, it is precisely because of this that the people in the Li Mansion have come back, and even Li Shimin, who has been away all the year round, is also staying in the mansion.
I have already handed over Duan Jingya to inform Duan Zhixuan, saying that he will pick me up early tomorrow morning, and it happened that this afternoon, I asked Li Yuanji to go to the street, ready to say goodbye to him.
The lights on the street are so lively, it turns out that the Chinese New Year is so lively in ancient times, even if it is cold and frozen, it still can't resist the enthusiasm of the New Year's people.
"Hu Biscuit! Hot freshly baked cakes! A small vendor who was braving the heat to buy Hu Biscuits shouted loudly, and when he saw me, he smiled earnestly: "These two young masters are really handsome, do you want to come and try two Hu Biscuits?" ”
I looked up at Li Yuanji beside me, this kid is really getting better and better, and smiled back to the peddler: "How much is a piece?" ”
When the vendor saw that we were going to buy it, he immediately smiled more attentively, "Go back to this master, twenty beads a piece, and the master will have a few."
I looked at our numbers and said, "Let's have four!" ”
The peddler laughed, "Okay! ”
I was eating it with a hu cake, this thing is the naan that Xinjiang people eat, I couldn't eat it after two bites, it was too dry.
Li Yuanji looked at me and said, "Why don't we find a restaurant and sit down and have a cup of hot wine." ”
I thought his proposal was a good one, and I nodded in agreement.
We found a casual restaurant, shook the snow on our bodies at the door before entering, found a table by the window and sat down, ordered a little side dishes, and warmed two pots of wine.
I didn't know how to speak, but now it's much more relaxed.
Who would have thought that when I had just drunk a glass of warm wine and was about to talk about going back to Duan's Mansion tomorrow, Li Yuanji asked first: "I heard that my sister-in-law asked someone to send a letter to Brother Duan, and Brother Duan will come to pick you up tomorrow, right?" ”
I was slightly stunned and nodded, "Well, I originally wanted to tell you first, but you already know." ”
He looked at me, frowned slightly, and raised the glass on the table to drink it down.
Seriously, it's really fun to be with Li Yuanji, although he is a little naïve, he is a very righteous person who is good enough to be friends.
I laughed and quipped, "What? Can't bear me? ”
"Hmmm! Can you not go back? ”
"Fool, it's not like I'm not coming, I'm just going home for the first day!"
He looked at me and stopped talking, and drank another glass of warm wine.
"Yuanji? Yue'er? ”
Hearing the voice, Li Yuanji and I turned our heads one after another, but we didn't expect two acquaintances to come in. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin! I looked at them in surprise, and now I seriously doubt that I have traveled to the fake Sui and Tang dynasties, when did their relationship get good enough to go to a restaurant to drink together?
The two walked side by side, one black and one white, one gentle and elegant, the other was as cold as frost, fortunately, they were both very eye-catching, which aroused a lot of envious eyes. I found that this Li Shimin is half a head taller than Li Jiancheng, and he is also more robust, which should be the reason for the perennial march and war.
Puzzled, Li Yuanji and I stood up and saluted, and Li Yuanji was puzzled: "Big brother, why are you here, second brother?" ”
The two of them came to sit down at the same table with us, and Li Yuanji instructed the boss to add two bowls and chopsticks, wine glasses, and two pots of warm wine.
Li Jiancheng sat on my left, Li Yuanji sat on my right, and Li Shimin and I faced each other, which made me extremely embarrassed.
Li Jiancheng sat down before he replied: "Your second brother and I went to the city gate, and now there are many more refugees. ”
Li Yuanji frowned: "But where did they all come from?" ”
Li Shimin spoke: "Most of them are from the border, and some are ordinary people who have been affected by disasters in their hometowns. ”
Li Yuanji said: "But it's a snowy day now, how to settle these refugees." ”
Li Jiancheng said: "Your second brother and I have sent people to build a few simple sheds this morning, and your second brother and I will count the number of people tomorrow." Tomorrow you will go and check how much food is left in the city to see if you can survive the new moon. ”
I listened quietly, if the people are really struggling today, according to the current time, the next thing should be to overthrow the Sui Dynasty.
Li Yuanji angrily punched the table and said, "Damn, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have promoted Yang Yu'er in the first place..."
Li Jiancheng immediately spoke out to stop: "Yuan Ji! ”
I looked at Li Yuanji in shock, what does this mean?
Li Shimin took a sip of wine and said, "Now the delay is to settle these people. ”
I frowned and wondered, seeing that the attitude of the three brothers did not look like they were going to rebel?
I drank a glass of wine, and was about to raise my hand to take the jug to refill myself, but I was stopped by a white jade hand, and I looked at its owner.
Li Jiancheng snatched the flask from my hand and said, "It's better for women to drink less." ”
Hey! I lost my temper. Just as he was about to speak back, Li Yuanji on the right spoke first: "Big brother, it's okay!" The amount of alcohol that stinks girl, I'm afraid you are not as good as you! ”
I nodded, smiled at Li Yuanji, and then looked at Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng frowned, and finally shook his head helplessly and said, "Drinking hurts your body, so eat less." ”
I looked at him and said aggrievedly, "Just another cup, one cup." I raised my hand and compared.
Li Yuanji reached out and took another pot, and said while pouring it for me: "Hey, what a big deal, just a glass of wine, come, I'll pour it for you." ”
I smiled and took the glass, winked at him, and he winked at me, and we both looked at each other and smiled, and neither of us said anything more.
Li Jiancheng put down the wine jug in his hand, shook his head with a smile and said, "For example, today, the people are still poorly clothed and hungry, and they are living a life of displacement. What was the difference between this when Yang Guang was in power. ”
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji drank another glass of warm wine after listening.
I also took a drink, Li Yuanji saw it and added another cup for me, Li Jiancheng looked at it and frowned slightly.
I pretended not to see, and I shifted his attention and said, "Then why hasn't anyone risen up to overturn the situation?" ”
As soon as my words came out, everyone looked at me in a daze, and I was startled to see if I had said the wrong thing.
I was a little confused and said, "Which... I mean..."I thought about it, took a deep breath and continued: "The ancients Sima Qian said: The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Everything you do today is also the same as Emperor Wen of Sui who overthrew Empress Chen, why does no one dare now? ”
Li Jiancheng frowned and said: "At the beginning, Emperor Wen of Sui overthrew Empress Chen and established the Great Sui, laying a happy land for the people of the world..."
I interrupted him: "Don't think about thousands of generations, there are no thousands of generations in the world, look at the first emperor who ruled the world, and then look at the Chen State before the Great Sui, even the Great Zhou, which has the longest inheritance in history, is not only seven hundred years." Time flies like an arrow, and we have to work hard to change the bad present so that we won't come and go in this world, right? ”
The three of them frowned in unison, and I looked at them, but finally stopped talking, took a sip of wine, and thought to myself, what the hell am I talking about? A few people are the founders of Datang, and they pouted when they thought about it.
No one spoke again, and it was Li Jiancheng who broke the silence later: "Yue'er, I heard your sister say that you will return to Duanfu tomorrow, right?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He smiled softly and said, "Well, it's okay, I'll send someone to pick you up after I go home for the first day." ”
My heart was dull, my heart skipped a beat, I don't know why these words came out of his mouth, I heard a different feeling in my ears, I felt my cheeks burn slightly, I turned my head to pick up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.
Li Yuanji hurriedly stopped: "Stinky girl..."
I turned my head to look at him and put the empty glass down, only to see him look at the glass and then at me, and blushed and said, "You are eating my wine." ”
I looked at the cups on the table with wide eyes, two identical cups, and a closer cup full of wine, and I embarrassedly returned the empty cup in my hand to Li Yuanji.
Pretended to be calm: "It's okay, I'm not sick." ”
As soon as the words came out, I regretted it, only to see Li Yuanji's face reddening even more, Li Jiancheng turned his head to the side with a smile, and his jade fingers picked up the cup and took a sip of the wine in the glass. Li Shimin didn't have any expression, and kept drinking warm wine and looking out the window.
