Chapter 29: The Ancestral Training of the Li Family
"Huai Jin, I know that you have been wronged, and as compensation, I will appoint you as the special envoy of the declaration of the three products, and you will tour the fiefs on my behalf and convey my will to the lord of each fiefdom."
Li Huaijin's body stiffened, and he was bound to pass through Nanyang when he traveled through various fiefdoms, so would he be able to see her again? Could he be greedy, just take a look from afar, make sure she's doing well and leave?
After struggling for a long time, Li Huaijin lowered his head, his heart was full of sadness, "The grass people obey the order." ”
After getting the holy decree given by the imperial pen himself, Li Huaijin walked out of the imperial study with an expressionless face, and along the way, Li Yuanzheng wanted to talk to him more than once, but he was indifferently raised his hand to stop him. It wasn't until he got into the carriage and was about to arrive at the general's mansion that the silent Li Huaijin sneered.
"Huai Jin?" Since she got the news, Mrs. Li had been waiting outside the gate of the mansion for two hours, and when she saw the carriage stop, she hurriedly greeted her.
Li Huaijin's face froze, he closed his eyes in despair, and bent down to get out of the carriage. "Mother."
"Huai Jin, you can be regarded as back, I thought my mother was ...... I thought that ......" The rest of the words were replaced by choking, and Mrs. Li shed tears of joy while holding his hand in distress and looking up and down.
"Big brother," Li Huaiyu, the second son of the Li family, stepped forward and shook Li Huaijin to the ground, "You've worked hard all these years." ”
"Brother, you're back." Li Huaishu, the third lady of the Li family, hugged Li Huaijin's arm and called with red eyes.
Looking at the smiling faces of his parents and younger siblings, Li Huaijin only felt that the shackles on his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier. The emperor was sure that he couldn't let go of his parents and relatives, so he dared to pinch him so unscrupulously.
Seeing his expression, Li Yuanzheng glanced at the people around him again, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he said loudly: "What do you have to say when you go in, what does it look like to stand at the door." ”
Without waiting for everyone to continue, Mrs. Li took Li Huaijin's hand and walked happily to the door. "The general is right, let's go home and talk about it if there is anything."
Glancing at the high threshold of the General's Mansion, Li Huaijin's eyes turned red for a while, and he was finally pulled into the door by his mother after all.
Separated by one door, there are two worlds. Since then, there has been no forgetting dust in the world, and some are just the eldest sons of the General's Mansion.
"Son, I never dreamed that this yard would be able to wait for its owner." Mrs. Li wiped her tears silently, but her weak hand grabbed Li Huaijin's wrist with all her might. It's as if she doesn't hold on like this, and her son will disappear again in the next second.
Rao is wrist was scratched and hurt, Li Huaijin didn't break away from her hand, raised her eyes to look at the familiar Tingfeng Courtyard, and her heart slammed, as if she was tightly strangled by an invisible thin thread.
"Let's go inside." patting Li Huaijin on the shoulder, Li Yuanzheng said in a heavy tone.
Li Huaijin nodded, took the lead in raising his feet and stepping into the listening wind courtyard, and the moment he pushed the door open, he seemed to see that delicate red coming to his face again, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but it was empty. If you look closely, there are people there, but the cool breeze blows up the veil.
"Brother?" Seeing the loss on his face, Li Huaishu immediately choked up and screamed. "If only my sister-in-law were here."
"Shu'er!" Li Yuanzheng was shocked and immediately reprimanded. "No nonsense."
Li Huaishu snorted unconvinced, and choked up: "How can my daughter talk nonsense, obviously it was a marriage given by the emperor himself, why did Your Majesty want to break up my brother and sister-in-law?" Seeing my brother so sad, my daughter was also sad in her heart. ”
"Shut up! It is a great crime to behead your majesty in vain. Li Yuanzheng glared angrily, secretly glad that all the servants were outside the courtyard.
"Kill the head, kill the head, Your Majesty will not scare people with the head, what else will he do?" Li Huaishu broke down emotionally, sat on the chair and began to cry, "Brother, you don't know, back then, you were forced to leave home by Your Majesty, and your sister-in-law was sick for two years, several times...... The palace is already preparing for the funeral. His Majesty is so ruthless, that's his own sister, how can he bear to be tortured like this. ”
He had never heard of such a thing. His heart ached suddenly, Li Huaijin pressed his heart with his hand, and during the two years he was locked up in Hanshan Temple, he didn't know anything about the capital.
"Brother, why don't you speak?" Li Huaishu wept silently, seeing that he was silent, he asked in a dumb voice.
Li Huaijin lowered his eyes weakly and raised his eyebrows self-deprecatingly, "What should I say?" The first rule of the Li family's ancestral training is loyalty, what can I say? ”
His Majesty is sorry for him, but the family ancestor is loyal, what should he do? What can he do?
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, but no one could speak. The Li family was the founding father of the People's Republic of China, and he accompanied Emperor Taizu to conquer the world in the southern and northern wars. After the world was pacified, Emperor Taizu was also in constant favor to the Li family, and the ancestors set the first rule of the ancestral motto to repay the kindness of Taizu.
"Huai Jin......" Li Yuanzheng wanted to say something, but Zhang Kekou didn't know what to say.
Li Huaijin lowered his eyes mockingly, waved his hand and interrupted, "I'm tired, let me rest for a while." ”
"You ......" Li Yuanzheng wanted to persuade again, but was pushed out of the door by Mrs. Li. Madam. ”
"If you're tired, take a good rest, Daddy won't bother you, just go." Mrs. Li beckoned everyone to exit the main house, thoughtfully closed the door for him, and ordered no one to go in and disturb without the call of the eldest prince.
"Madam, what are you pushing me out for, I haven't finished my sentence yet." Li Yuanzheng pinched his eyebrows with a headache, for some reason, he always felt that when he came back this time, Huai Jin's attitude was very dangerous.
It wasn't until she pushed the person out of Tingfeng Courtyard that Mrs. Li stopped and looked at Li Yuanzheng with a serious face, "General, Huai Jin is tired, can't you see it?" ”
"I didn't plan to do anything to him, I just wanted to say a few words." As he spoke, he wanted to go inside, but was stopped by his wife. "Madam, Huai Jin has newly sealed the Sanpin Dayuan, and I am also worried that he will make a mistake."
Mrs. Li stopped his way without giving an inch, like an old hen guarding her cubs, with an angry face, "General, the concubine doesn't understand the things in the court, and the concubine only knows that his son is tired and he needs to rest." Before he recupers his spirits, no matter how big things are, let them go first. ”
Looking at the appearance of his wife protecting the calf, Li Yuanzheng shook his head with tears and laughter. "That's it, the coming day is long, and I'm not in a hurry at this time."
The news of the return of the Li family's son-in-law soon spread throughout the capital. The old bustard who returned to the dream building repaired a book as soon as possible, and sent someone to send it to Nanyang quickly.
With Changlin personally in charge, Huimenglou quickly took root in Nanyang, and the news came from all directions, and finally gathered on the top floor of Huimenglou.
"Childe, there's a letter from the capital." Mioka gently pushed open the door and offered the letter respectfully to both hands.
Even though it was early autumn, Changlin was still wearing a cyan summer shirt, lying barefoot on the chaise longue, casually looking at the news collected from all sides. He opened the letter casually, glanced at it casually, and immediately sat up straight.
"When did the letter come?"
As soon as Miaoxiang saw him like this, she immediately understood that it was not good news. "The letter just came, the person who delivered the letter is still downstairs, does Childe want to see it?"
"Let him come up." Changlin frowned slightly, Li Huaijin was actually vulgar, what did the emperor want to do?
"Yes, the slave will go and call him up." Miaoxiang didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked someone to bring the messenger up. "Childe, someone is here."
"You go down first." Changlin waved her hand to retreat, and looked at the person who sent the letter seriously with a pair of fox eyes, "When did Li Huaijin become vulgar?" ”
This matter is not a secret in the capital, the messenger thought about it and said seriously: "The third day of the ninth month. ”
That is, seven days ago? Changlin lowered his eyes and pondered, and then asked: "What big things can happen in the capital?" ”
"It doesn't seem to be a big deal, oh yes, Li Gongzi also rewarded His Majesty with a lot of things, and also made him a big official." The messenger thought about it carefully and said with envy.
The emperor not only made him return to the vulgar, but also gave him an official, what kind of ghost is this idea? Changlin pursed his lips in contemplation, and waved his hand to let the messenger step back, "Go down and receive the reward." ”
"Thank you, Childe." The messenger was overjoyed, saluted him, and rejoiced out.
Miaoxiang had been guarding the door, and when she saw the messenger withdrawing with a happy face, she hurriedly greeted her and asked with a smile: "So happy, what did Childe say to you?" ”
"Childe wants the villain to go down and receive the reward."
Receiving the reward? Miao Xiang's eyes lit up for a while, and she smiled and stuffed a silver ingot into the palm of the messenger, and ordered the maid to take the person down to find a place to rest.
"Miaoxiang." Chang Lin sat on the chaise longue and called out to the door.
Miaoxiang pushed open the door when she heard the sound, and Lianbu walked in, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Li Huaijin is still vulgar." Changlin didn't hide it from her, and directly handed her the letter from the capital, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
Reaching out to take the letter, Miaoxiang read it at a glance, but shook her head with a smile. "Our Majesty is really a ruthless person."
Cruel? Changlin sneered and said disdainfully: "He has no heart at all, and only a fool like His Highness will believe his nonsense." ”
"Childe, when are you going to tell Your Highness about this?" Seeing that his face was full of edge, Miaoxiang asked tentatively.
"Why should I tell her?! Isn't she sad enough for Li Huaijin? Changlin stretched out his leg unhappily and kicked the coffee table out for a long distance.
The sound was endless, Miaoxiang carefully moved to the side, and persuaded him with good words: "But Gongzi, Your Majesty rewarded Gongzi Li as the doctor who announced the decree, and sooner or later he will come to Nanyang." Even if you don't tell His Highness now, His Highness will still meet him sooner or later. ”
"I know!" Changlin pulled his hair irritably, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Miaoxiang, am I good to you?"
What kind of eyes is this? It's as if the hungry wolf saw the meat! Miaoxiang was numb from his staring, and nodded stubbornly, "The slave family's life was saved by the son, and the son gave the slave family a place to settle down, and he was as kind to the slave family as a mountain." ”
"That's right," Changlin beckoned to her with a smile, smiling wickedly as she approached, "That's a little favor for me." ”
