Chapter 147: Brother and sister-in-law

Li He's line, twelve horses and one carriage, except for him, everyone is dressed in pitch-black armor, and it looks quite powerful, when walking on the street, pedestrians quickly flash to the side when they see it from afar. Those who can ride horses and carry weapons into the capital are all big shots. People can't help but start speculating again, which general of the Northern Expeditionary Army was named in Beijing.

After Yang Jin casually found a passer-by and asked where Suzaku Street was, everyone walked in the direction reported by the passer-by.

Walk directly along the main street to the north, turn a corner, and you will arrive at "Suzaku Street".

Compared with the main street of the capital, Suzaku Street is obviously much quieter, and there is not a single shop in it, all of which are houses. From time to time, a group of soldiers of the Yulin Army in the capital wearing silver-white armor patrolled by.

As soon as Li He and the others entered Suzaku Street, a group of Yulin Army soldiers immediately came up to inquire.

The captain who took the lead said respectfully: "Generals, how do you call them, and which one are you looking for?" "The soldiers who can enter the city with knives and guns, and come to this Suzaku Street, don't need to think about it to know that their status is not low. However, he saw that Li He was wearing a robe without armor, and he was young, so he couldn't help but wonder if he had the rank of general or above. You must know that there are no more than 100 generals in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

Li He knew that they were routine, so he took out his identity card and handed it over.

The captain took it with both hands, glanced at it, his expression immediately changed greatly, and he raised his head to look at Li He again, his eyes lit up: "You are General Li of the Tiger Army?" ”

"It's Li." Li He smiled and nodded.

When the soldiers behind the captain heard this, their eyes immediately changed when they looked at Li He and the others.

The captain of the Yulin army respectfully handed back the identity card in his hand and said with a smile: "General Li is really angry for our Xia army in the Huaping Fields and the Prairie!" Are you going to go to Master Li's Mansion or the Ministry of Officials Li Shilang's Mansion this time? "In the capital of Great Xia, officials of the third rank and above in the court will be allocated a house according to their corresponding official positions on Suzaku Street. Even if someone in his family is an official in the court and has his own mansion, if his official character is also of the third rank or above, he is not allowed to live together. Therefore, although Li He's eldest brother Li Ming is the grandson of Li Taishi, he has another mansion.

Li He smiled slightly and said, "We are just going to Li Shilang's mansion." ”

The captain immediately asked a soldier to take Li He and them over, and Li He gave Yang Jin a look, and the latter understood, and immediately stuffed a silver ticket into the captain's arms: "This little money is for the brothers to drink." ”

The captain of the team was reluctant to live or die at first, but Li He said, "Could it be that this general looks down on Li?" I took it immediately.

After Li He and the others left, the captain took out the silver ticket and looked at it, damn! One hundred taels! The second son of the Li family is really as bold as rumored.

Not long after, Li He and the others were taken to a mansion with a plaque of "Li Mansion" hanging on the door. But what surprised them was that opposite this "Li Mansion", there was also a "Li Mansion". And the "Li Mansion" is obviously much bigger than this one, and the lion in front of the door is not the same, which makes it more magnificent and luxurious.

The soldiers of the Yulin Army who brought Li He and them saw the doubts in Li He's eyes, and said, "General Li, that is the Mansion of Master Li." ”

Li He suddenly realized that in this way, his brother and grandfather are actually only separated by these two gates, and being separated is the same as living together.

"General Li, this is Li Shilang's house, the little one will go back first." The soldier said to Li He.

"There's this brother." Li He said with a smile, Yang Jin had already taken a silver ticket and stuffed it, which flattered the soldier and thanked him again and again.

When you can be arrogant and domineering, and when you should be kind and modest, Li He is still clear. When he first arrived in the capital, even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about his grandfather and brother and make a good impression. Although their power is already great.

"Knock knock!" Yang Jin stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Li He called Xiangxiang and Qianqian down from the car.

The door opened with a babble, and a servant peeked out of the crack in the door, looked Yang Jin up and down, and said kindly: "This general, who are you looking for?" ”

Li He's voice sounded from behind: "Tell my eldest brother that his younger brother is here." ”

The servant was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Li He and said, "You...... Is it the second son from Huyang? ”

"What? Do you want to check my ID badge too? Li He squinted and smiled.

The servant saw the two stunning beauties in white dresses beside Li He and a group of sergeants with black armor and swords and guns, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the second prince and all the military masters are invited in, and the younger one will immediately go to inform Lord Li." As he spoke, he opened the door of the mansion.

After a while, Li Ming, who was dressed in a blue silk suit, strode out to greet him, his face full of surprise.

The two brothers haven't seen each other in almost ten years!

"Little brother! It's really you! ”

"Big brother! It's me! ”

Li Ming is now nearly thirty, but he looks like a crown of jade, his eyes are like stars, tall, handsome, elegant and calm, and he looks like a rich and noble person. I think back then, Li Ming was also a well-known beautiful man in Huyang.

The two of them held hands and looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly laughed together.

"You kid, you're so tall and strong now. After so many years, I didn't say that I came to Beijing to see my brother, I really wanted to be a brother! Li Ming said with a smile. However, it was precisely in order to avoid the extremely naughty Li He that he deliberately went to Beijing in advance to catch the exam, and when he was in his twenties, he couldn't help but feel creepy when he mentioned this little brother. However, this little brother is mischievous, and the brotherhood between the two is still very deep.

Li He also smiled: "Big brother, haven't you brought your sister-in-law back to Huyang for so many years?" The girls in Huyang are all thinking of you, especially the ...... of the Piaoxiang Building."

Li Ming coughed twice in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, especially when I see your sister-in-law later, be serious, she is pregnant now." As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the two daughters behind Li He, Xiangxiang and Qianqian, and smiled at him: "Who are these two?" "Both brothers have a habit of squinting.

Li He was just about to introduce him, but Li Ming had already interrupted him and said, "Wait, let me guess." My mother told me in the letter that your fiancée's maid and concubine are enough to make up several tables of mahjong. ”

"This one, is it Qianqian?" Li Ming pointed at Xiangxiang Dao, and then pointed at Qianqian and said, "This, is it Yan'er?" ”

Li He laughed and shook his head.

Xiangxiang and Qianqian blessed together: "Xiangxiang (Qianqian) has seen the eldest son." ”

"Well, it turns out that she is Xiangxiang!" Li Ming was stunned, and then patted Li He's shoulder and smiled ambiguously: "You kid, you are much more beautiful than when you were a brother, and your clothes are not shallow!" ~Nice, nice! ”

"The last general has seen Master Li!" Over there, Yang Jin and the others also clasped their fists and bowed.

"The generals are polite, Li Man, take the generals to rest, and order the kitchen to prepare good wine and food, and treat the generals well!" Li Ming instructed the subordinates beside him.

Li He, Xiangxiang and Qianqian followed Li Ming to the inner courtyard of the house.

"Your sister-in-law would be glad to know you're here." Li Ming said with a smile on the road.

Li He smiled: "I'm afraid it's gritting your teeth, I remember when you and your sister-in-law went to Beijing, the way she looked at me, she couldn't wait to swallow me." ”

"Uh...... Who made you do that bad thing when we got married? ”

Li He smiled even more happily: "That glass of wine tasted good back then, right?" ”

Li Ming pursed his lips: "Now I have to see what is in the wine glass before drinking with your sister-in-law every time." ”

Back then, Li Ming returned to Huyang to get married, and at the wedding, he, as the groom, wanted to drink and talk with the guests. Then, according to the customs of Huyang, the bride was invited out, and in front of everyone, the two newlyweds wanted to drink a glass of wine.

And this wine pourer is Li He. However, the wine bottle was full of white vinegar, so Li Ming and the bride got two glasses of white vinegar.

Li Ming was already a little drunk and didn't pay attention. The bride was nervous because she was covered with a hijab, and she didn't notice the difference in the taste of the wine in the glass.

So, the two handed over a glass and handed over a white vinegar.

As soon as the vinegar was in their mouths, both of them immediately squirted out.

Back then, the bride was also a young lady of the Liu family, a well-known big family in Huyang, and her temper was not so good. This wedding was rectified by Li He several times, and it caused her to spray vinegar in public, which really made her angry. Since then, every time I see Li He, my eyes are wide, my silver teeth are biting, and I can't wait to swallow him in my stomach.

However, it didn't take long for Li Ming to return to Beijing with Miss Liu, but he didn't have too many opportunities to contact Li He, otherwise he would have to be rectified by his little overlord.

After entering the backyard and passing through a stone road in a rockery, Li He and the others immediately lit up in front of their eyes - what a big and beautiful garden!

"Big brother, your mansion is really good! It's much more exquisite and luxurious than our home in Huyang! I think my grandfather's house seems to be bigger, and it seems to be more luxurious! Li He looked at the flowers and plants that bloomed everywhere in the garden, and there was a small pond not far away, and there were two ducks in the pond, this big brother's hobbies were really different. Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of a butterfly with a big palm and colorful wings among the flowers, which was the "half-butterfly demon" that followed him from the Tianshan Mountains. When she first entered the capital, she suddenly disappeared, and Li He thought she had run away, but she didn't expect to follow.

Li Mingdao: "That's because you're used to living in our house, my mansion can't be compared with Huyang's home, these gardens or something, all for the sake of supporting the façade." As an official in the court, if you don't do some of these things in the house, play with flowers, plants, birds and fish, engage in rockery ponds, and then fiddle with some high-end furniture and famous calligraphy and paintings, you have to make people say that you have no taste and can't enter the circle of this aristocracy.

It's grandpa's house, that's really magnificent. You'll know when I go with you to meet Grandpa. ”

While the two were talking, they had come to a gazebo in the garden, where a beautiful young woman with a light powder was sitting and looking at the small fish in the pond.

"Madam, look who's coming!" Li Ming stood outside the pavilion and said loudly.

The young woman turned around and saw Li He and the two daughters behind him, she was slightly stunned, and said, "Who are these three?" When she saw Li He, he was only a five or six-year-old child, and now he has grown up Chengren, and his height has more than doubled. Li Ming is a brother, so she naturally recognizes it, but she can't recognize it.

"Sister-in-law, it's me~! You forget, when you and your eldest brother got married, the younger brother poured a glass of wine for you! Li He said with a smile, it is really a pot that cannot be opened.

Sure enough, hearing this, Liu Shi was stunned at first, and then his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "You are Iron Erlang?!" ”

"Uh......"

Xiangxiang and Qianqian couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle when they heard the words "Iron Skin Erlang", and Li Ming couldn't help laughing. Back then, the Liu family hated Li He to the core, except for reluctantly calling him an uncle in front of Li Sihong and Zhen, he was called "bad boy" and "stinky egg" in private, and this "Iron Erlang" was her most common nickname.

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember the jealousy back then?" Li He said with a smile.

"You...... Are you really Li Erlang? Liu still couldn't believe it.

Li Ming smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, this is definitely the fake Tielang Li He!" ”

Li He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Li He greets my sister-in-law!" ”

"Come on, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Erlang is so big." Liu sighed that if she hadn't been in front of the Li family's parents, she wouldn't have called Uncle Li He. In her impression, Li He has always been the naughty bad boy, and now when she sees this mighty and handsome young man, it is really difficult to associate him with Tie Lang back then.

Qianqian sent a delicate small box in her hand to the stone table in the pavilion, and Li He said: "This is the rouge of Huyang Yipinxuan, the younger brother specially brought it to my sister-in-law, I wish my sister-in-law will always be young and beautiful!" ”

The rouge and silk in the south of the Yangtze River are the most famous in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the best rouge is undoubtedly the Yipin rouge of Huyang Yipinxuan. Even the concubines in the Ouchi Palace may not be able to use this rouge. The aristocratic women of the upper class liked the rouge and other cosmetics made by Yipinxuan the most.

Liu Shi looked at the box of rouge and bowed slightly to Li He: "Erlang has a heart." He said to the maid next to him, "Go prepare the food and drinks." ”

Li Ming said: "Let's get a table first, and let's have a few drinks with the two brothers." Don't bother too much, we'll have to go to Grandpa's in a moment. ”
