152. Uncle and nephew reunion (I)
When Princess Eldest Sun heard the news, she was so excited that she reached out and grabbed her husband's palm tightly, and said incoherently: "Erlang, this, this is true?" Is my uncle really coming back? ”
"Of course it's true, how else can I lie to you? Although my uncle has not returned to Tang on the surface in the past few years, he has secretly helped me Li Tang do a lot of things, and he was officially on the table a few days ago, and his father will not treat him badly when he returns. Li Shi, who knew his wife's thoughts, smiled slightly, reached out and touched his wife's forehead, and said.
"Great, great, I'm going to tell my mother, aunt, grandmother and cousin about this good news." The eldest grandson let go of her husband's hand, and the people kept circling in the room.
"Mother-in-law, maternal grandmother, and your cousin should all know the news by now, the auxiliary machine got the news with me, and now I must have sent someone to inform them, but my uncle's house is smaller, why don't we send them a bigger house?"
Li Shimin, who rarely saw his wife showing the posture of a little daughter, looked funny and distressed, and couldn't help but gently hold her hand and say a word.
When Gao Shilian was demoted from the Eastern Capital, he went alone, and his wife, concubines, children, and mother all stayed in the Eastern Capital.
After Li Tang was stationed in Chang'an, the Gao family also moved over, but in addition to Gao Shilian, only Gao Cheng hung a seven-rank martial arts position in Li Shimin's army.
In order to avoid outsiders saying that they relied on the Qin Palace's arrogance and indulgence, the Gao family only relied on their own ability to purchase an ordinary three-entry residence, and other gifts that did not belong to them were not accepted.
Li Shimin and the eldest grandson and princess persuaded them a few times, but the Gao family unanimously adhered to the principle, thinking that how much ability and great blessing they had, and what did not belong to them insisted on, and the eldest grandson and Li Shimin were not reluctant.
Now that Gao Shilian is back, with his qualifications, he will at least be awarded the title of a fifth-grade official when he comes back this time, and it is reasonable to change to a larger house, so he doesn't have to worry about causing gossip.
"After my uncle comes back, let's listen to what he means, Erlang, do you know when your uncle will arrive in Beijing? Will he be able to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival? The eldest princess was stunned when she heard this, and her heart warmed, but she didn't immediately agree with Gao Shilian's character, and was ready to wait for Gao Shilian to come back and ask him what he meant before making a decision.
"You should be able to rush back, Guanyin, you don't have to be so nervous, uncle is all right." Li Erlang looked at his wife's nervous and urgent appearance, both distressed and funny, and gently pulled her into his arms with a slight force on his wrist.
"Erlang, you don't know, uncle, he is really better to me, to my brother and mother, than the father of many families, if it were not for her, I, my brother, and my mother would not be able to live until now......" The eldest grandson princess leaned on her husband's arms and suddenly burst into tears,
In the nine years that he was separated from his uncle, there were still correspondence in the first two years, and since Li Tangjian raised the anti-flag, Gao Shilian probably didn't want to attract attention, and even the letters were broken.
The eldest grandson was extremely worried about the concept in his heart, but the Li family's identity is different now, no matter how much she worries, she can only suppress it in her heart, and it is difficult to show it, and when she suddenly heard his news at this moment, she couldn't suppress the emotions in her heart anymore.
"I understand, I understand, Guanyin, in my heart, Uncle Gao is also my own uncle, I am very grateful to him for teaching you and the auxiliary machine so well, I miss her as much as you, thank him for ......" Li Shimin gently wiped the water from his wife's face and hugged her tighter.
On August 13 of the fifth year of Wude, Gao Shilian returned to Beijing, and the Gao family's house was rearranged inside and out.
Xian Yu and Mrs. Mu were very excited, Mrs. Mu only had this son under her knees, and they met again after nine years, this kind of mood is difficult for people who have not experienced it.
Although the relationship between Xian Yu and Gao Shilian is not as affectionate as Gao's and Changsun Sheng, Changsun Princess and Li Erlang, the husband and wife have always respected each other.
After nine years of separation, she suddenly heard that her husband had returned, and the excitement in her heart was not under Mrs. Mu at all.
On August 13, as soon as everyone in Gaofu had finished breakfast, Mrs. Mu heard a report from her subordinates that her son was about to arrive at the door.
Mrs. Mu, who is nearly seventy years old, resolutely greeted her outside the gate in person, despite the resistance of her daughter, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters.
As soon as the few of them came out, they saw the eldest grandson princess and the eldest grandson Wuji's wife Cen arrived at the door of the house.
The Cen family not only came by himself, but also brought his six-year-old son Changsun Chong with him, and as for King Qin and Changsun Wuji, they rushed to the city gate with Gao Shilian's two sons early in the morning to greet Gao Shilian.
Xian Yu saw the eldest grandson princess and was about to say goodbye, but the eldest grandson rushed over and held it down: "Uncle, today I am here to welcome my uncle, and my identity is only my uncle's niece, not the princess, and my aunt must not be polite." ”
"Good boys, you're all good boys." Old Madam Mu was moved and relieved to see it, she took the hand of the eldest grandson princess and patted the back of her hand gently.
Everyone didn't stand at the door for a while, Gao Shilian's car slowly drove over, Gao Shilian left alone, this time he returned, followed by two carriages, Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and his two sons followed him left and right.
Gao Shilian saw the old mother standing outside the door from a distance, and suddenly fell off the horse's back, came to his mother in three steps and two steps, bent his knees, knelt heavily on the ground, and knocked on the ground with his head: "Unfilial son Shilian knocks on his mother." ”
As soon as he said this, his eyes turned red, and tears poured out of his mouth.
"Get up, my son get up quickly." Mrs. Mu was in tears, she was crying while reaching out to pull her son.
"Uncle, please get up quickly, otherwise, if you cry, your grandmother will cry too, she is too old to stand too intense emotional impact." The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin came over together and stretched out their hands to pull him up.
At this time, the two carriages that followed Gao Shilian also came, the carriages and horses opened, and Gao Shilian's concubines who had been in Waina in the past few years came up from the carriage one after another, and knelt down with their young children to salute Mrs. Mu.
Gao Shilian has been separated from everyone for nine years, and has added two concubines and two sons and a daughter, the fourth son Gao Zhenxing is five years old, and the fifth high trial is three years old, in addition, there is a three-year-old daughter, and another concubine is pregnant.
"Grandmother, don't cry, my uncle has just returned home, and it's not good for us to stand at the door all the time." The eldest grandson, the princess, followed to persuade Mrs. Mu.
"Well, well, Guanyin is right, enter the house, Lian'er, quickly, let the children enter the house." Old Madam Mu was persuaded by the eldest grandson, and she also came to her senses, she stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and then looked at the big and small people kneeling in front of her, and hurriedly spoke.
