Chapter Seventy-Three: The Expedition (II)

"I'm fine, Erlang, I believe you will be able to return safely, it's not too early, the eldest brother is probably already waiting for you outside, go, I'll send you out." The eldest grandson and the little lady sniffed slightly, quickly pressed down the surging emotions, lifted her head from Li Erlang's arms, gently pushed her husband away, and said softly.

"Okay, that's right, Erniang, this time the eldest brother will also go with us on the expedition, after we leave, my father is estimated to be in the camp where the grain and grass are prepared for most of the time, you don't need to ask for peace, you have time to go back to your mother's house to accompany your mother-in-law." Li Erlang is not the kind of person who is devoted to the love of children, seeing that his little wife contained his emotions, he quickly regained his calm, and remembered that his uncle Sun Wuji would also go out with him, and couldn't help but tell the eldest grandson and the little lady again.

"Well, I know, you don't have to worry about family affairs." The eldest grandson and little lady hummed lightly and nodded, and then the husband and wife went out together, as for the luggage, naturally there was a clever maid ring to take it out and hand it to Li Erlang's attendant to help him send it to the door.

As soon as the husband and wife came out of Jinsheng Garden, they saw Jiancheng's father and wife walking towards this side from a distance, Li Erlang and the eldest grandson and little lady saw this, and their feet sped up a little, and they greeted them and saluted: "Big brother, sister-in-law, you get up earlier." ”

"It's not early, don't be polite, let's go." Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Erlang and his wife, waved his hand, he was still a little worried, this is Li Erlang's first expedition, he and the eldest grandson and the little lady have been married not long ago, and there are newlyweds, the two are difficult to give away, and the time is delayed, so he turned around and prepared Cui Yicui, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't need to speak.

Li Erlang nodded, the two brothers didn't say anything, turned around together, and went outside, the eldest grandson and the little lady followed behind them with the eldest sister-in-law Zheng, and the group of four people just walked to the gate, but saw Tang Guogong Li Yuan's personal butler hurrying over, he held two hot leaf bags in his hands, and ran to Li Erlang and Li Jiancheng out of breath.

While handing them the leaf buns in his hand, he gasped and said: "Da Lang Jun, Er Lang Jun, this is the steamed bun and sauce beef that Grandpa Guo arranged for you in the kitchen last night, so that you can eat on the road." ”

Li Yuan's personal butler surnamed Cen, is now in his early fifties, has been with Li Yuan for more than 20 years, it is said that he is also a child of a family, and then followed Li Yuan for some reason, over the years, following Li Yuan's side, doing his best to help Li Yuan take care of everything, acting calmly and sophisticated, and winning Li Yuan's trust, the children of the Li family also respect this Cen housekeeper very much.

"Thank you, Uncle Cen." Li Jiancheng and Li Erlang looked at the steaming leaves stuffed into their hands by Steward Cen, they were stunned for a moment, and then the two of them saluted Steward Cen respectfully.

But what they didn't expect was that their father, a big man who was away all the year round and rarely paid attention to the trivial matters at home, actually helped them prepare breakfast early, the two brothers of the Li family looked at the steaming leaves in their hands, their noses were unconsciously a little sour, the eldest grandson and sister-in-law Zheng glanced at each other, there was a flash of guilt in their eyes, last night they only cared about talking to their respective husbands, and heard their husbands say that they had no time to stay in the house for breakfast, and they didn't expect to prepare suitable food for them to take on the road.

"The two Langjun don't have to thank me, this is all the intention of Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo said that he won't come out to send the two Langjun, let the two Langjun take care of everything outside." Steward Cen hurriedly avoided the side, and hurriedly said, the children of the Li family regard him as an adult, but he himself can't support this big.

"We know, Uncle Cen, please tell my father, we will take care of our health, but my father, my father is now holding the position of the coordinator of the grain and grass of the army, on the surface, it seems that the emperor is favored, but on the other hand, he is roasted on the fire, everything, Erlang and I are out on the expedition, we can't be filial in front of our father, everything can only be bothered Uncle Cen to worry a lot." Li Jiancheng was older, and he was silent slightly, then suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said, Li Erlang's eyes were slightly red, and he turned his head to the side.

"I know, I know, Da Lang Jun, Er Lang Jun, don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of Grandpa Guo......" When Steward Cen heard this, his eyes unconsciously flashed with a little astringency.

The two eldest gentlemen in the mansion went to the battlefield, and the grandfather of the country was also put on the fire to roast...... Guogong Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, is a wealthy family like a fire and oil, rich and noble, in fact, a few people know that they are a group of people who dance on the tip of the knife all the time, the surface scenery is infinite, one careless, is the end of the nine clans......

Don't talk about Steward Cen's thoughts, but Li Erlang and Li Jiancheng greeted Steward Cen after greeting, and each explained a few words to his wife, then turned over the horse, took the package handed by the attendant, pulled the reins, stepped off the horse and kicked and turned around, stepping on the morning light that was not yet in the dim period, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Big brother, in the past few months, my father has aged a lot and his heart has softened a lot." Leaving the Guogong Mansion and on the way to the barracks, Li Erlang tore open the bag leaf in his hand, picked up a bun, and after eating two bites, he suddenly spoke.

"Father, he has never been a particularly hard-hearted person, and at the same time he is not a ......" Li Jiancheng looked at the leaf bag in his hand, and after a while, he said, he is nine years older than Li Erlang, there are many things that Li Erlang does not know, he knows that although His Majesty and his father are cousins, but his relationship with his father has never been very good, when he was still the prince, he would make fun of his father from time to time, even more so after he took the throne, if it weren't for the fact that his mother had always been by his father's side to encourage him and enlighten him, and advise them from time to time......

"What's not?" Li Jiancheng's voice was very low in the latter sentence, Li Erlang didn't understand it at all, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at him.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking, so many things have happened in our family during this time, and now our brothers are on the battlefield at the same time, the bad luck is uncertain, father, he, I don't know if I can resist it." Li Jiancheng shook his head and spoke.

"I'm sure my father won't have a problem." Li Erlang was stunned when he heard it, and then answered, in his impression, although his father is not as decisive and strong as his mother, he is by no means incompetent......
