Chapter 535: Reminiscence
Mrs. Yan sat in the car, stunned.
Tang Concubine died, Tang Shangshu fell ill again, the emperor finally approved his beggar bones, the day after tomorrow, the Tang family uncle and Gu grandmother will wait for Tang Shangshu and Mrs. Sui, and set off to go back to the old mansion of Jiangning Mansion, at least Tang Shangshu is going to bury his bones in Jiangning Mansion and will never return to the capital.
The second master of the Tang family is all working abroad, the third master of the Tang family is studying in Jiangnan, and the family members are all in the old house.
Mrs. Sui said that she had sent a letter to Sister Nan to bring her children to the capital, and in the next few years, more than ten years, or decades, the Tang family in the capital, I am afraid that only Brother Xian and Sister Nan'er will be the family, and she entrusted Brother Xian and Sister Nan's family to herself.
Mrs. Yan only felt extremely sour in her heart.
That day, Ah Xia said that Sister Nan was coming back soon, and Sister Nan would be back soon......
Mrs. Yan raised her hand to cover her face, tears welling up from between her fingers.
……………………
Mo Taojiang wore an ordinary indigo silk thin cotton cloak and a light green hat, followed behind the old servant, and unhurriedly entered the corner door, along the root of the wall, into Li Xuezhang's study.
Li Xuezhang greeted him under the weeping flower gate, saw Mo Taojiang coming in, and hurriedly greeted him along the verandah, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Mr. for many years, but I can see him today, and I finally solved the pain of lovesickness." ”
"Shuai Si is very loving, Shuai Si has worked hard for a while, looking at Shuai Si's complexion, it's okay." Mo Taojiang saluted and walked in side by side with Li Xuezhang.
"I heard that Shuai Si is back, I wanted to come over that day, but, alas," Mo Taojiang arched his hand at Li Xuezhang, "Thinking of Shuai Si's bereavement, it must hurt into the heart and lungs, this taste I know, muddy, I don't know about personnel, I thought about it, and I didn't dare to go to the house to make trouble for Shuai Si." ”
"Alas, those days...... I finally got through it. Li Xuezhang's expression was sad, and the pain of bereavement really made him feel painful.
"In the past two days, I heard that Shuai Si has eased up a bit, so I just came over, look at Shuai Si's complexion, my heart will be put down a lot." Mo Taojiang looked at Li Xuezhang's complexion again.
Li Xuezhang's complexion is actually not good, but as a person who is extremely sad and has lost his mother and father, such a look is not bad.
"Don't mention it, I really hate that I can't go with my parents, but this big family ...... Alas, no more, sir please. Li Xuezhang let Mo Taojiang into the upper room, served tea and snacks, looked at Li Xuezhang's eyes, and withdrew with his hands down.
"Is the eldest prince okay? Come back these days...... Ominous people, I want Brother Bin to take a look, think about it, but I'm afraid it's even more inappropriate to go. Li Xuezhang let the tea go over and turned to the topic first.
For a while, he was worried about the prince, and he couldn't sleep at night. There were countless things he didn't know before he came back, and since he came back, in just one month, several major events have been born.
Zhao Changhai went to work, Hou Mingli was transferred, and now, Tang Concubine is dead again, and Tang Shangshu is going to go to Jiangnan to say goodbye to the capital.
Each piece is a great thing.
"Shuai Si must have heard from the fifth and sixth masters in your house, in the past two years, such major events, one after another, have never been broken." Mo Taojiang is much more straightforward than Li Xuezhang and goes straight to the point.
Li Xuezhang was stunned, then snorted a few times, and vaguely said this sentence after the fifth and sixth masters.
The fifth and sixth masters shouldn't stand with him, and he doesn't want them to stand with him.
"Brother Oak has said a lot, he follows the prince, so he still knows a little." Li Xuezhang brought out the second Li Wenli.
"The second master is very dedicated to the prince's side." Mo Taojiang smiled, "The eldest prince said twice, the second master and the uncle are both people who can do something, especially that heart, which is very rare." ”
"Brother Lin'er's troubles," Hearing Mo Taojiang say that Jiang Yanshi mentioned it twice, Li Xuezhang remembered the stupid things Li Wenlin had done, and Li Wenlin's castration. "Alas, on the day I returned to the capital, I should have gone to the prince to plead guilty, but what ......"
However, he guards filial piety and can't go anywhere.
Li Xuezhang pounded his head hard, and he couldn't be more annoyed.
"That's the little things." Mo Taojiang didn't know that Jiang Yanshi had emasculated Li Wenlin, and he didn't know that Li Wenlin had been castrated. "The tree is big and has dead branches, not to mention that in the past ten years, Shuai Si has not been in the capital, no wonder Shuai Si is a reasonable person, Shuai Si doesn't have to mind."
"Alas, thank you Mr. for your comfort, I feel much better with Mr. 's words." Li Xuezhang raised his palm and pressed the corner of his eye.
"The filial piety of the past three years can be said to be affordable, what are Shuai Sike's plans?" Mo Taojiang pulled up the topic again.
"What can you do now?" Li Xuezhang smiled wryly, and was about to say a few more polite words, but the words changed again, "I don't know if Mr. has any suggestions?" ”
Mo Taojiang came, and he definitely didn't come to see him catch up.
"Gongzi often talks about Shuaisi, the Li family has many talents, and Shuai Si is a rare and valuable person, and the prince also appreciates Shuai Si very much." Mo Taojiang said while staring at Li Xuezhang's expression.
Li Xuezhang bowed slightly, listening very attentively.
"When the Ming family was in great trouble, I left the capital, looked around at a loss, went to Qinfeng Road, met Shuai Si, finally settled down, and had a place to live, from Shuai Si, and then to the Son's side as a counselor."
Mo Taojiang sighed with emotion, "The son and my guest and host get along, don't say anything and obey the plan, it's almost the same, this is all thanks to the blessing of Shuaisi." ”
"Mr. has won the award, Mr. is a talented person, and he can't hide it in his bag." Li Xuezhang was busy and polite.
"Shuai Si and I, there is a great kindness, Shuai Si's future, and the Li family, I have been watching, even if I can't help, I look forward to Shuai Si going up step by step, and the Li family is getting better and better."
"Thank you, sir." Li Xuezhang once again owed his body to thank him.
"These words, I didn't plan to say, this kindness, put it in my heart, think about it all the time, read it, remember, that's it, I said it today because there are some words, I want to tell Shuai Si, and I also want to tell Shuai Si about my state of mind when I came here and said these words, not for anything else, first for Shuai Si, for the Li family."
Mo Taojiang's expression and words were extremely sincere.
"Sir, please." Li Xuezhang was sitting with a solemn expression.
"After the old lady and the old lady left, although the Li family divided the three rooms and moved out to live separately, in the final analysis, the three rooms of the Li family are still a family."
Mo Taojiang was unhurried, and when he talked about separating and living separately, he sighed and looked gloomy.
Li Xuezhang's expression was gloomy, and he sighed a few times, his parents were in a hurry to separate the family as soon as they died, his parents' coffins had not yet been put into the ground, and his brothers had already separated from each other.
"If there are some words, I'll just say it directly, Shuai Si forgive me." Mo Taojiang bowed slightly, and said first, "The Li family is not prosperous, there are three rooms in total, and there are only six people, among these six, the second room is considered ...... Alas. ”
Mo Taojiang sighed, Li Xuezhang thought of the second room, his heart was mixed with anger, and he also sighed, the second room, I am afraid that it will wither from now on.
"There are two people in the third room, the fifth master is an extremely outstanding one, because of this, as soon as I arrived in the capital, I paid great attention to the sixth master, the sixth master looks and bearing, is like an immortal, talented, extremely extraordinary, it's a pity, the world is a little worse, a generation of celebrities, but not a person who can be an official, it's a pity."
Mo Taojiang really had something to say, Li Xuezhang listened intently and nodded slowly.
Mo Taojiang's words are the truth, he saw it, and even heard what the fifth brother said, and the words of the fifth brother are almost exactly the same as Mo Taojiang's words.
"Speaking of which, the Li family has three rooms, and the next generation is only the uncle, the second master, the fourth master and the fifth master. The fourth master has already gone to Enyin, and the future is on the top, and he has already been limited to death, and the rest, but the uncle, the second master and the fifth master. ”
Li Xuezhang looked at Mo Taojiang, and his heart lifted slightly.
The boss lost his reputation because of the Ming Shangshu case, and he was never allowed to take the test again, he didn't mention a word, what does this mean? Is this what he meant? Or does Jiang Gongzi mean it? Or is it the meaning of the prince?
Among his three sons, if you say that the most talented, it is still the eldest.
"Shuaisi, the three branches of the Li family, together, counting Shuaisi, but there are only four people, it is really not appropriate to divide the soldiers into two ways." Mo Taojiang summed it up in one sentence and got to the point.
Li Xuezhang was stunned, and then a little embarrassed, "Mr. said ......"
"I said, I have something to say to Shuai Si, Sanfang has been very close to the prince of Qin since he was in Hangzhou, and the fifth master is the companion of the prince since he was a child, and now, Jiu Niangzi married into the palace and became the princess of Qin, Sanfang and the king of Qin, not to say that they are one, they are absolutely inseparable."
Mo Taojiang ignored Li Xuezhang's words, only looked at Li Xuezhang, and continued.
Li Xuezhang nodded again and again, Mo Taojiang said this, he was extremely considerate of him, and now their Li family and the Qin Wangfu can't be torn apart no matter what.
"When the Queen Mother was here, the prince didn't care about everything, like a child." Mo Taojiang sighed, "For all people, children are like this, parents are here, they can be like children." But the Queen Mother is gone, and now the prince has to plan for himself, this is human nature, and it should be like this. ”
Li Xuezhang was a little stunned, where is the direction of his words? What did he want to say on this trip?
"I didn't say this, it was Gongzi who told me, Gongzi, I heard it from the prince, speaking of which, although the prince and the prince are uncles and nephews, they are the same age, and when it comes to it, the prince is much older."
Mo Taojiang looked at Li Xuezhang, "Jiang Niangniang's temper, Shuai Si knows, alas, we are not outsiders, I will say it bluntly, Jiang Niangniang's temper is irritable and direct, the prince has said more than once, it is because of Jiang Niangniang's temper, he has watched since he was a child, persuaded Jiang Niangniang, but he can better understand the difficulties of others."
The prince is kind and generous, and he is very able to put himself in the shoes of his subordinates, and the prince has his own ideas, even if it is Jiang Niangniang, it is extremely difficult to influence him, or in other words, Jiang Niangniang has long been unable to control the prince. ”
Li Xuezhang looked at Mo Taojiang in a daze, he knew a little what Mo Taojiang was going to do this time, but he couldn't believe it.
"Jiang Niangniang and the Queen Mother, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have been like the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the market and village for decades, and they have hated each other. Alas. Mo Taojiang shook his head with a wry smile, "Don't talk about this, the Queen Mother is already popular." The prince has been following the queen mother since he was a child, and he is extremely jealous of Jiang Niangniang, this is human nature, but. ”
Mo Taojiang stared at Li Xuezhang closely, "The prince should be able to trust the prince, I came this time for Shuaisi, for the prince, and for the prince, please Shuai Si and the fifth master talk about this matter, let the fifth master talk to the prince well, the prince treats the prince, it is indeed not the mood of a nephew to treat his uncle, the prince treats the prince, like the eldest brother treats the younger brother, please the fifth master talk to the prince well, don't misunderstand the prince's cherishing meaning." ”
Li Xuezhang looked at Mo Taojiang in a daze, prince, no, it's Mo Taojiang, is he asking Prince Qin for peace? Or do you want to join forces? Or a call for help?
Is this the danger of the prince?
"What does Shuai Si mean?" Mo Taojiang's eyes were a little earnest.
"What the gentleman said is very true!" Li Xuezhang replied very quickly, "Don't worry, sir, I'll go and find it, no, I'll call the fifth brother over and tell him about it, what Mr. said is very true." ”
"Shuai Si is a very clear person, just like the first time I saw Shuai Si said, Shuai Si has a talent for doing things." Mo Taojiang said as he stood up, "It's not too early, I'll leave and don't bother Shuai Si too much." ”
"I'll send you out." Li Xuezhang hurriedly stood up, politely sent Mo Taojiang to the door of the study, and watched Mo Taojiang walk away, the smile on his face suddenly collapsed, and he collapsed into a face of fear and exhaustion.
Is the prince in danger?
Li Xuezhang moved to the door of the upper room step by step, stood under the porch in a daze, looked up at the already somewhat dark sky, his heart sank little by little, all the way down, sinking to the heavy pressure of the chest one after another.
He was far away on Qinfeng Road, the news was too closed, he didn't know that the prince was so precarious, but the Li family, no, he and his son, were already too deeply involved, so deep that they couldn't get their feet out!
Li Xuezhang stood in a daze for I don't know how long, the little guy hung up the lantern with his feet, Li Xuezhang squinted at the plain white lantern, and was in a trance, "Has Mrs. come back?" ”
In the morning, I seemed to hear that Madame had gone to Tang's house.
"Back to my lord, I'm back." The little guy hurriedly replied.
Li Xuezhang hummed and strode out.
As soon as she came out and turned a corner, Aunt Chen rushed out from behind a pavilion with her skirt in her hand, "Master, master!" ”
Li Xuezhang paused, frowned and looked at Aunt Chen, who didn't know if it was because she was running, or because she was a little out of breath with excitement, "What's wrong?" ”
"Master, I can be regarded as seeing you, master, Seventh Brother, ......" Aunt Chen was full of grievances, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Xuezhang, "Didn't I tell you, if you have something, go to find Mrs., what are you looking for me to do in this inner house?" Okay, that's it, it's filial piety now, don't always come to me if it's okay. ”
After Li Xuezhang finished speaking, he raised his feet and left.
Aunt Chen looked blankly at Li Xuezhang, who was walking away in a few steps, countless grievances mixed with loss and helplessness, and faint fear, her lips trembled for a long time, but she didn't dare to cry.
