Chapter 141: Antecedents

The author has something to say: Sushan is the ice cream of the Tang Dynasty. m. Lewen Mobile Network

As it was already dark, the mother and daughter walked back.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held in the lobby of Yuzhaoyuan, and although there were only mother and daughter, the atmosphere was extremely joyful.

The gaiko played a gentle tune, and the maiko danced a joyful spring dance, and the fast and slow rhythms were perfectly combined. The diet is naturally very hearty, and the beauty lies in the kit kat. Xiao Yan found that her mother knew how to eat very well, and half of the dishes on the food table were created by herself, there were eleven or twelve kinds of wine alone, what dishes go with what wine, there were more than a dozen kinds of sauces, a fresh fish tart, there were four or five ways to eat, and there were some ingredients that Xiao Yan had never eaten, or how to eat them that he knew the ingredients but had never had...... Xiao Yan felt that this was "eating essence, almost the way", and she expressed her joy with a breathtaking expression and the movement of her hands. After finishing the main meal, the orange peel soup was served, and then the dim sum was served, Xiao Yan had never seen any of the more than a dozen dim sums, and each dim sum was only one inch in size, not enough for a bite, so she was reluctant to give up after eating each one. There were more than a dozen maids in the south to set up a banquet to make a wine order, and the wine order and actions were all made up by her mother, Xiao Yan laughed so hard that she almost rolled on the fur blanket and couldn't get up. She felt that her mother was really good at living, and it must be happy to live with her, no wonder the people who loved her loved her more and felt that it was worth it to do their best for her. Mother is a person who can make life happy and happy.

The last dessert on the table is Sushan.

Sushan is to heat the cheese and ghee to melt, dripping into the plate to form a mountain, and then put it in the ice cellar to freeze, it is a good spot for the noble family to cool off in summer, but it is the first time to eat Sushan Xiaoyan in the winter.

"If you eat too much hot food in front of you, and then you have an ice one, it's called ice and fire." Li Yixun smiled and said, "Taste Baoshu, eat this in winter." ”

Xiao Yan scooped a spoonful, the cold yogurt taste, then the taste of tulips and chicken tongue, but the aftertaste after the throat was plum and orchid, it was definitely the most exotic crisp mountain she had ever eaten, and she couldn't help but praise "Okay!" He laughed again and said, "If I stay with my mother for a month, I will definitely grow ten pounds." ”

Li Yihun smiled: "It's okay, accompany me to dance a few times and it will be gone." ”

Xiao Yan nodded his head and smiled, "That's what A-Niang said." ”

Li Yixun's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he smiled leisurely.

After Xiao Yan rinsed her mouth, she walked around on the long blanket in the hall to consume food, talking and laughing with her mother while walking, and after walking a few laps, she felt that she had eaten enough, so she asked the maid to bring the painting scroll she brought and show it to her mother.

It was her gift to her mother.

In the distance is the looming green hills, the peonies are purple and red in the near distance, the smoke and clouds are lightly around, the narcissus by the stream is swaying, and after drawing the name and seal, there is a leisurely seal: Mingshu Hao Su Yunyan, infinite green mountains and my mountain.

Li Yixun laughed.

Peony and narcissus, this is the meaning of the rich fairy, if only so, it is only the painting with an auspicious meaning, it is not surprising, but the wonderful thing is to draw that idle seal, that is, there is "why bother to find immortals on the three mountains, the infinite green mountains are my mountain" The artistic conception of "bringing people to the aftertaste of Zen and Taoism for a long time.

Li Yixun praised with a smile: "Baoshu's mind is good. ”

Xiao Yan sat on the couch with a little embarrassed, "My painting is far worse than A-Niang." The time was too rushed, so I had to use it to make up the numbers. ”

Li Yixun stretched out his hand and touched her head and said with a smile: "Painting is a thing of affection, and the treasure tree is true, and the painting is precious." I like it very much, even if I exchange Yang Zhige's "Peony Picture", I don't change it. ”

Xiao Yan blushed, Yang Zihua's "Peony Picture" of the Northern Qi Dynasty is the most precious painting in the peony painting, which was collected by Hongnong Yang, it is said that Emperor Muzong once exchanged the "Spring Tour" of the famous Zhan Ziqian of this dynasty, Hongnong Yang refused, A-Niang compared it to her, it was really elevating her! In his heart, he was very happy, kissed his mother on the face, and laughed happily.

Li Yixun held her in one hand and talked to Xiao Yan about this peony picture.

Xiao Yan learned to paint, first to learn skills, then to fall in love, and then to show his spirit. What her mother will teach her is the way of "seeing nature, forgetting the law, and emptiness", which is the "mysterious" realm of painting. This is related to her age and experience, when she was in Qingning Academy, she could only learn the art of painting, which is the same as practicing martial arts, you must first lay a solid foundation before you can talk about entering the Tao. There are 3,000 paths in the world, and the realm of "Dao" is the same. Xiao Yan listened and asked, and felt that his understanding of the Tao was deepened, and when he looked back at this peony narcissus painting, he felt that he could paint better, so he discussed with his mother: "I'll paint a new painting for A-Niang, right?" ”

Li Yixun said with a smile: "Baoshu's painting is very good, although the painting is childish, it is childish and naΓ―ve." Rich and noble immortals, most afraid of vulgarity, there is 'red, clumsy' in which it is true. The brushwork is too subtle, but it loses its meaning. ”

Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "Then when I understand what A-Niang said, I will give A-Niang a picture of the rest." ”

Li Yixun's bright eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Okay." When the time comes, Baoshu will give me a portrait. ”

Xiao Yan said "oops", leaned back, fell on the fence couch covered with otter skin, pillowed his hands on the back of his head, looked at the delicate patterns engraved on the arches in the lobby, and said with a smile: "A-Niang, you are a hundred times more difficult to draw than a peony!" Your essence is too hard to depict. ”

She raised her eyes and smiled, and said in a clear and clear voice: "If you compare the color of the mountains, you are the spring mountain is light and smiling, the summer mountain is green and dripping, the autumn mountain is clear and clean like makeup, and the winter mountain is empty and sleepy." If you compare it with flowers, there is the brightness of the moon season, the nobility of peonies, and the warmth of pomegranates; However, you also have the seclusion of orchids, the height of plum blossoms, and the elegance of chrysanthemums; There is also the clarity of the hibiscus out of the water, and the charm of the autumn begonias; There is the charm of poppy red bananas, and there is also the soul of Haosu Dao in the water of narcissus...... Oops......"

She leaned over to look at her mother, "How do you tell me to draw?" ”

Li Yixun's laughter was crisp, and she was praised by her daughter for her radiant looks, her face was gorgeous, the more she was glamorous and charming, but there was a fragrance in the enchantment, and the sound was clear, even if the maids were used to seeing her beauty, they couldn't help but be in a trance, and said in their hearts: "San Lang Jun is really apt to describe it!" ”

She pointed her slender finger at Xiao Yan's forehead, and said with a smile: "If Baoshu draws me, he will enter the mysterious way of painting." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes gradually brightened, and he suddenly rolled on the oily and slippery otter hair, and sat up one by one, looking at his mother with bright glass-like eyes, "Auntie, you are right!" If I draw your style and charm, the martial arts will definitely be able to go to the next level! Saying that, he smiled up, leaned over and hugged his mother, feeling that he had found an opportunity to advance - her speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth was more than ten times that of ordinary martial artists, and her internal force cultivation had reached the late stage of the Ascending Realm, but what she lacked was the realization of the realm, so she has not been able to break the barrier of advancement so far, if she can draw her mother, her comprehension of the mysterious realm will definitely allow her to advance to the late stage of the Ascending Realm, and maybe she can also get a glimpse of the threshold of the Cave True Realm!

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she laughed again.

Li Yixun is also happy in his heart, if Baoshu wants to draw her, he needs to get along with her, and figure out her charm every day, so the relationship between mother and daughter is not only on a higher level, more than ten floors, it is Taibai Gong said "The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands", hehe, Li Yixun's eyes are shining.

She is missing sixteen years in her daughter's life, but she will not let her daughter's affection for her also be missing sixteen years. What is missing, she will make up bit by bit until her daughter's heart is filled.

The maid took the painting and put on the fruit.

Xiao Yan found that this fruit is also very distinctive, and there are seven or eight kinds of Ringo alone: sweet orange ringo juice, sour cheese ring, red pulp ring, sweet ringo ring, cinnamon wine boiled ring, ringo crystal jelly...... Except for the first two, Xiao Yan had never seen anything else, and his eyes were bright again.

Li Yixun teased at the corners of her lips, no one will be able to seduce her daughter with food in the future.

As the mother and daughter talked, they talked about Xiao Yan's eldest brother, Pei Songzhi's wife, and Xiao Yan was very curious about this sister-in-law.

Li Yixun said: "It is the second daughter of the head of the Huiji Yu family, her father is the head of the Yu family, and he served as the assassin of Guangzhou three years ago. As he spoke, he smiled at his daughter and raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yan was quite smart, and immediately understood that the Pei family chose the Huiji Yu family to marry, because they took a fancy to the South China Sea trade route.

She frowned slightly and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law...... Well, how are the feelings? "I don't think I'm like the fourth brother and sister, because of the combination of interests, but there is no kind of affection between husband and wife.

Li Yixun took a sip of fried orange grapefruit peel and honey tea, handed the tea cup to the maid and pressed his waist.

Xiao Yan immediately cared, "Is A-Niang tired?" He sat down on the couch and reached out to rub his mother's waist.

Her hands are slender and powerful, and the pressure of the rubbing is moderate.

Li Yixun squinted his eyes pleasantly, and once again felt that it was good to have a daughter, could his son rub her waist affectionately like this?

She changed her sitting posture on the couch, leaned in front of her with a little laziness and said: "It was your eldest brother who went to Guangzhou to see each other, and both sides looked at each other, so they decided to kiss." How is your sister-in-law, you will know as soon as you meet. Your eldest brother and her are still living in harmony. ”

Xiao Yan was not satisfied with what he heard, "What do you mean by 'okay'?" ”

Li Yihun smiled, "Your eldest brother took a concubine last year, once there is a third person between husband and wife, can they become very harmonious?" The so-called good wife, not only to be generous and not jealous, but also to love you wholeheartedly, this is a beautiful thing that men think - fortunately, your eldest brother doesn't think so, he and Wanrou have five points of love for each other, even if it is harmonious with Qinse. ”

Xiao Yan frowned, "Why does the eldest brother want to take a concubine?" Didn't he and his sister-in-law already have two children? "When she was in Pei's mansion, she heard the eldest brother say that she had two little nephews, and they should all be sisters-in-law, right? If you have a son, why do you have to take a concubine? The eldest brother doesn't look lustful either, maybe the concubine room is not as good as his Peugeot.

Li Yixun smiled indifferently and said, "It's what Pei Jia'a Weng meant." He felt that the long house was too thin, and he wanted to have many children and grandchildren. ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, and his lips pressed to his mother's ear, "Does Pei Shibozu have a problem with you?" ”

Li Yixun smiled and glanced at her with slanted eyebrows, "What do you say?" ”

Xiao Yan understood that Wei Guogong did blame his mother because of the early death of his eldest son.

Seeing that her mother didn't care, she also revealed the matter, raised her hand to rub her mother's shoulder, and said, "Won't the second brother also have to ...... in the future?"

Li Yixun raised his eyebrows, and said lazily: "Since the surname is Pei, let them go." I won't care. Life is their own, and it is their own choice to live better than bad. ”

Xiao Yan saw that her mother was not worried, so she also put the matter down.

Although her perception of the two brothers is good, after all, the feelings are not as deep as the feelings for the fourth brother Xiao Cong, and of course the concern is not so deep, not to mention the affairs of the two brothers, it is even more separate, not something she should worry about.

"However," Li Yixun smiled again, "The daughter of the Murong family has always had a strong temper, and your second brother will have the idea of taking a concubine in the future. He said with an expression of waiting to watch the show.

Xiao Yan stroked his forehead in his heart, suddenly laughed again, and said, "A-Niang knows that living a life is a matter for the two of you, how many more do you want me to like before?" ”

Li Yihun smiled and turned his head to look at her, "Because I love Baoshu more." ”

Xiao Yan's heart was hot, and he was greatly moved, and his eyes were shining: "I love you too." ”

Li Yixun smiled and touched her head, thinking: I will be happy if you say "I love you the most" in the future.

Xiao Yan suddenly looked out of the door and said, "Big brother, they're here." ”

She got up and stood on the edge of the couch.

In an instant, the maid spread that Da Langjun and his wife and Erlangjun came.

Xiao Yan saw her sister-in-law, who was as gentle and beautiful as the lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, her appearance was not very beautiful, but she had a graceful and demure temperament, she thought: The name is gentle, but the person is like her name.

This is not a woman who is very eye-catching at first sight, maybe like the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the breeze, to taste the fine taste.

Xiao Yan is not surprised, why did the eldest brother choose such a wife, I have seen my mother with such a charming and endless enchanting color, I am afraid that the women in the world are colorless in the eyes of the two elder brothers, and what can make them pay attention to it is more about the inner quality, the sister-in-law's supple temperament is different from that of her mother - maybe the eldest brother suffered from his mother when he was a child, and he would rather marry a demure and supple wife when he grows up.

"The tiger slave and the leopard slave have already slept, so they didn't bring them over." Pei Songzhi said to his mother.

Li Yixun raised his hand to show that he didn't care, "It's better for children to go to bed early." ”

Xiao Yan wanted to laugh in his heart, the milk names of these two nephews were really majestic, and he didn't know what the nicknames of the eldest brother and second brother were, so he made up his mind to ask his mother when he turned around, and stepped forward to greet the eldest brother, sister-in-law and second brother.

The maid had already set up a table on the east side, and Xiao Yan was still sitting on a couch with her mother. The family spoke happily. Pei Songzhi and Pei Rongzhi were in front of their mothers, and they also lost their usual appearance of immortals and icemen, and their smiles were flying, if outsiders saw them, they would stare at them and their eyeballs would fall.

After the child, Pei Songzhi and his wife got up to say goodbye to their mother, there were children at home, and they couldn't rest here at night. Pei Rong put one hand around Xiao Yan's shoulder and said, "Sister, let's talk all night tonight", he was glared at by his mother, and followed the eldest brother with a sad face, and said in his mouth, "Mother likes the new and hates the old, and there are new people who don't want old people." Xiao Yan twitched out of the corner of his eyes when he heard this, and the second brother's iceberg cold and handsome image completely collapsed.

At night, Xiao Yan slept with her mother.

She was a little excited.

For the first time since she could remember, she slept with her mother.

Thinking of Qingning Temple, she was a little stunned.

The candlelight passed through the silk gold tent, and her gloomy eyes fell on Li Yixun's eyes.

She raised her eyebrows, pressed her palm on her daughter's head, and said in a light tone: "Still don't understand the bun?" ”

Xiao Yan came back to his senses, quickly responded, and took off the submerged wooden hairpin, the same bright and silky black hair as his mother flowed down like a waterfall, and Yingxiu's eyebrows immediately became a little more soft.

Li Yixun stretched out his arms to grab his daughter, and the mother and daughter lay down together.

Xiao Yan hugged her mother a little cautiously and excitedly, called "A-Niang" and screamed, like a lively little lamb fluttering in her mother's arms, and fluttering again.

She likes the smell of her mother, not the kind of cold and distant, but warm, very close, sweet and fragrant, but it does not make people feel strong, it is the kind of gentle and mellow taste that belongs to her mother.

Li Yihun thought to herself, fortunately, this bed is wide and wide, otherwise it would not be enough for her to flutter.

Reaching out and pressing her shrugged head, he smiled softly, "If you run for a while, this whole bed will be cold by you." ”

Xiao Yan said "ouch", and when he touched his mother's side, the brocade quilt that had been heated before was already cool. She immediately reached out and hugged her mother, saying, "A-Niang is next to me, and my body is hot." ”

Xiao Yan is like a small stove, Li Yixun felt hot when she was held by her for a while, so she moved back slightly, she was full of qi and blood, and she was not too afraid of cold in winter. One hand touched Xiao Yan's hair, and said in a soft voice: "When you were just born, you were so big...... she smiled and gestured, "When I was in Tibet, I always wondered, how big the treasure tree has grown, whether it looks good, will it look like me......" The corners of her lips curled, "You grow better than I imagined." Appearance, temperament, heart, no matter what, are very much in line with my heart. I love it. The low timbre laughed like a chord.

Xiao Yan's eyes were very bright, brighter than the benzoin candles outside the silk gold tent, as bright as stars in the night sky, she hugged her mother and rubbed it twice, and said very blushingly: "I also think that I have a good appearance, a good temperament, and a good heart, I really gave birth to a mother." ”

Li Yixun burst out laughing, hugged her and laughed happily, thinking that this child was so cute, and he really gave birth to himself.

After chatting again, Xiao Yan hesitated and asked his mother: "Ah Niang, back then, um, was Mozun's mother invited by you to raise me?" ”

Li Yixun's fingers touching her hair stiffened slightly, but the smile on her face did not change, and she said in a soft voice: "Mozun, there is a reason for raising you." When I sent you to the Xiao family, you were already five months old by my side, because I agreed to Chide Songtsen's courtship, and after the wedding with him in Chang'an, I would go to Tibet with him, and it was best to send you to the Xiao family. ”

Xiao Yan nodded, she understood this. Although she has the blood of her mother's side, her mother is not in Chang'an, and staying in the royal family is not as good as growing up next to her biological father, which makes her mother feel more at ease.

"Baoshu, your birthday is not February 17, but August 17." Li Yixun sighed lightly, "After Shang Qing brought you into the mansion, in order to prepare for the 'Qingning Courtyard's concubine to get pregnant and give birth', Xiao Jingxi pushed back the date of your birth by seven months. ”

Xiao Yan sighed lightly, and said in his heart that he was already seventeen years old - his father didn't say this, was it because it was not good to change the birth date on the genealogy, or did he deliberately keep it and wait for A-Niang to tell him?

She pressed this doubt and asked, "Later, because Shang Qing's nanny was seriously ill, did Mo Zun's mother come over?" ”

Li Yixun smiled bitterly in his heart, and sighed: "Shang Qing her, she is depressed. A-Niang didn't expect that she would die early. As for Mo Zun...... "Mo Bai will raise Xiao Yan to grow up, which she didn't expect, but it's not particularly surprising when you think about it carefully, after all, the birth of this child was caused by her behind the scenes."

Li Yixun vaguely mentioned his daughter and said: "Mozun's lifelong quest is all for the avenue. No matter what you do, you can't get rid of this great cause. Back then, she fell in love with Gaozong when she met him, fell in love for the Tao, and fell in love for the Tao. She is not cultivating the Tao of Affection, but she is not the Tao of Compassion either. Specifically, A-Niang can't say clearly. In short, it is true that Gaozong helped her to complete her sword path. Therefore, Mo Zun owes the royal family a big favor. Raising you is also counted in the legacy. However, this is not the main reason, Mozun's debt to the royal family has actually been paid off after Gaozong's death. …… In short, there should be something else going on, and you'll understand later. ”

She touched her daughter's furrowed eyebrows and smiled softly, "Don't think too much about it now." Do what you have to do, go with the flow, and when the time comes, it will come naturally. Accusing you too much now will only confuse your mind and will not benefit you. ”

Xiao Yan responded: "Hmm." The voice was muffled, buried in the mother's neck, and the voice muttered, "I am no longer a child." "At the age of seventeen, he is already an adult in the family, and he can marry and start a family.

Li Yixun smiled softly.

Xiao Yan said wistfully: "Okay, I haven't reached the cave realm yet. ”

YiqiΔ“, she has to wait until she reaches the Cave Truth Realm before she is qualified to go to the "Cave Truth" and know the hidden inside information and truth.

Xiao Yan had already guessed that the matter between his mother and Saint Fanyin back then was probably not so simple. How could an innate grandmaster, who was one of the best in the world, be fascinated by his mother? What kind of drug can charm the Innate Grandmaster? Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, there is really such a drug, with the strength of Fanyin, how can you be tricked?

Xiao Yan felt that even if she asked her mother, her mother would probably say: The reason is very complicated, and you will understand it later.

She sighed again, in short, she was still too weak now.

She hugged her mother and decided to spend more time with her mother, and draw her as soon as possible, so that she could advance.
