"What my sister-in-law said also has some truth, so let's take this string of bells with me. This is the Soul Bell, and if you touch them, they will make a sound. It's just that this bell can't distinguish ghosts, so I can't tell my sister-in-law whether the one you met is your father-in-law or son. ”

"Then what if it wasn't my father-in-law or my son, could it be that I would bring something from the side home?"

"It's not impossible, but under normal circumstances, those things won't be so boring, just go to other people's bodies." Xing Ruyi said, glanced at the woman, and handed her the bell in his hand.

The bell looks very ordinary, a bit like the kind of thing that children play with in their hands, but if you look closely, you will see that the bell is engraved with dense ghost inscriptions. As for what this ghost text wrote, Xing Ruyi vaguely remembered that the fox seemed to have told her, but at that time her mind was not on it at all, her left ear went in, and her right ear came out, and she didn't even remember a word.

The woman looked at the string of bells and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take them.

"Remember, before dawn, you have to go home. When the time comes, put the red dates you are carrying into the mouths of your father-in-law and your son, and gently call their names. Normally, they should come to their senses. When the people are sober, they will decoct the two pairs of medicines I have given you into one pair with water, and give them two to take each. As for whether they will continue to take medication in the future, let's wait until they are sober. ”

The woman nodded, but said nothing more.

Xing Ruyi glanced at the sky, it was still early, and she had nothing to do with staying at her husband's house, and after explaining some precautions when buying items for Ah Niu, she left.

When I returned to the Ruyi Rouge Shop, I saw that the dignified Lord Chang Taichang, the first catcher in the capital, was busy entertaining the guests, while Yin Yuan was sitting on the side, munching on the chicken legs leisurely.

"You kid, you're still in the mood to sit here and nibble on chicken legs, not to mention helping a bunch of big brother Chang."

Xing Ruyi said, rolled up his sleeves, and searched left and right, trying to find a suitable opportunity to squeeze into the counter, but Yin Yuan's pair of oily little hands pulled the corners of his clothes.

"My mother doesn't look at what time it is, even if she wants to help, she has to wait for Uncle Chang to send away this wave of guests." Yin Yuan said as he gave Xing Ruyi a hard look: "Besides, it's not that the children don't want to help, but these aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters can't bear to let me work together when they see my good looks." Children, you have to look like a child, such as sitting here and watching the excitement, nibbling on chicken legs or something. ”

"What's the matter?" Xing Ruyi was confused when he heard it, and when he looked at Chang Tai again, he suddenly understood the meaning of Yin Yuan's words.

Where did these guests come to buy rouge gouache, they were clearly coming for Brother Chang. Listening to the words of those aunts and aunts, they are no different from matchmakers. It's also because of Brother Chang's good temper, and he didn't forget to help her sell things while coping with it.

"What about Li Mao? Could it be that he also saw the doorway and hid aside to enjoy the leisure. ”

"Not really." Yin Yuan spit the chicken bones aside: "When Li Mao went out, these people hadn't come yet, if he knew that there was also excitement to see in our rouge shop, he would definitely not run out to see the excitement of others." ”

"Someone else's hilarious! Could it be that there is something new happening on this cloud family collection that I don't know? ”

"It's fresh enough, and you really don't know it." Yin Yuan sold Xiao Guanzi: "That's the case, there is a distinguished guest from this Yun family, and it is said that there is also a very beautiful lady, whose surname is Mu, and there is an extremely elegant name called Mu Xi." Li Mao only ran out in a hurry when he heard these two words, and he went to see the beautiful general's wife. ”

"Madame General?"

"Yes, Mrs. General." Yin Yuan blinked his eyes: "Not only the general's wife, but also the general's wife with great achievements." I heard that this general is also a member of the Li clan and belongs to a more partial branch of the Li family. In addition, his father was in the army and not in politics, and in his lifetime, the Communist Party went to the court three times.

The first time was the birthday of Gaozong Li Zhishou, and the current saint, that is, the original Empress Wu, in order to please Gaozong, secretly issued a decree to let all the Li clansmen enter Beijing to celebrate his birthday. The general's father was naturally among them, so he rarely went to the court and met the king. However, this first time in the dynasty did not leave much impression on Gaozong and Empress Wu.

The second time, it was Empress Wu who ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhou Shi. The general's father entered the court again, still with many Li clan relatives. It is said that most of the Li clan members who entered the dynasty at that time failed to return to their hometowns, first imprisoned in the capital, and then sentenced and assassinated by various means, and many more died in confusion.

The Shogun's father was one of the few people who was able to return to his native country. The reason why Empress Wu did not kill him was that he never interfered in the court situation, and belonged to the side branch of the Li family, so he did not pose any threat to Empress Wu's regime, but also because he let his only son, who is now the general, take his mother's surname. ”

"With the motherhood, the father of this general is really open."

"Compared to the life of your own child, a surname is nothing. Moreover, Empress Wu ascended the throne as the emperor, and the world is no longer the world of the Li family. Taking a step back, even when the Li family was in power and ruled the world, their father and son did not get any real benefits except for a so-called clan surname, eating, drinking, and dressing, all relying on the merits and fortunes obtained by fighting with the enemy on the battlefield. Now in order to save the child's life, giving up a surname Li is nothing. ”

"It's true."

Xing Ruyi nodded in agreement, feeling that his little Yin Yuan's analytical ability was becoming more and more like himself.

Yin Yuan knew what Xing Ruyi was thinking, so he glanced at her and continued: "This third time, it is with our general. The general's father, although he also grew up in the military camp, also carried some military exploits, but it is not big, in the eyes of those officials in the capital, he is a petty official with sesame mung beans, but the general is different. ”

"The general on your left and the general on your right really don't look like your Yin Yuan's style, so it can be inferred that this general's military exploits must be extremely extraordinary."

"That's it!" Yin Yuan raised his chin arrogantly: "For those who are really capable, such as my fox father and Ruyi mother, I am still quite respectful." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about the general in your mouth."

Xing Ru thought that Chang Tai was still busy there, and she had no intention of disturbing Chang Tai's "good things", so she brought herself a small plate of peanuts and a small plate of dried fruits, and found half a pot of peach blossoms that she brought from Luoyang before, pulled Yin Yuan to the side and cleaned it, and completely put on a posture of listening to the story.

Yin Yuan rolled his eyes at Xing Ruyi while continuing to tell her the story of the general.

"In the first year of longevity, Tang Xiujing, the governor of Xizhou, asked the empress to recover the four towns of Qiuci, Khotan, Shule, and Xiaye, which had been taken away by Tibet. Emperor Wu, that is, the female emperor after careful consideration, sent Wang Xiaojie, who had been stationed in Tubo for a long time and knew the inside story of Tubo, as the head of Wuwei Dao, and Ashina Zhongjie, the general of Zuo Wuwei, led troops to fight against Tubo, and our general was the first to emerge in that war, and he was also reused and promoted by Wang Xiaojie, the head of Wuwei Dao, and when he went to Beijing to take up his post, he also specially recommended him to Empress Wu.

Although she trusted Wang Xiaojie very much, she still had some doubts about the people recommended by Wang Xiaojie, so she asked the people around her to investigate. As a result, I checked and found out that this person was actually a member of the Li family, but now he is not surnamed Li.

Whether it was out of the need to appease the remaining Li family, or the need for Empress Wu to further consolidate his position, or for some political purpose, Empress Wu began to deliberately reuse this general through Wang Xiaojie's recommendation. The reason why the general can stand out is that in addition to his excellent military talent, this brain is naturally not stupid. As for the thoughts of the Empress Wu, he can guess a few points, but our generals, don't pay attention to it at all, fight when they should fight, receive rewards when they should receive rewards, and rest when they should rest. On the battlefield, there is no "favored minister" and appearance, he is the first to rush to the forefront in every battle, and even goes deep into the enemy camp alone, relying on a spear to take the head of the enemy general.

This one or two may not be cared about by anyone, but after the accumulation of several battles, the general has become the general known to everyone in the Tang Dynasty today, he is not only the glory of the Li clan, but also the most satisfied Li family in the heart of Emperor Wu. ”

"How did such a glorious general get to the Yun Family Collection?"

"Because the general is sick!" Yin Yuan sank his eyes, and deliberately lowered his voice a little: "It is said that he suddenly contracted an emergency when leading the army to go on the expedition, and now not to mention riding a horse and archery, taking the head of the enemy general, even if he sits is a bit laborious." Knowing that he could no longer serve the Imperial Court, the Shogun begged the Imperial Court to allow him to be disarmed and returned to the field. Emperor Wu did not embarrass him, and agreed to his request to return to his hometown to recuperate, but retained his title of general, and even helped him build a general's mansion in his hometown, and gave him a title to allow hereditary inheritance.

This time, the general is returning to his hometown with his wife. Because I don't like to be noticed, I deliberately bypassed the official post stations in those big towns and chose this more remote one instead. ”

"I see!" Xing Ruyi sighed lightly, "What about the general's wife, is she really good-looking?" ”

"Compared to me and my fox daddy, it is estimated that it is not good-looking, but compared to your mother, it is not accurate." Yin Yuan begged to squeeze his eyes at Xing Ruyi: "By the way, my mother went out early in the morning, but the matter was done?" ”
