Li Siye got up and followed him out of the yard, and Zhang Lu suddenly saw Li Siye, and immediately crossed his hands and grinned: "It turned out that Li Qianniu came back!" He hurriedly slapped his cheek lightly with the palm of his hand: "Look at my mouth!" You went to Anxi four years ago, and now that you have returned to your hometown, you should be called Captain Li or General Li. ”

Li Siye smiled, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked him: "Zhang Lu, are you still working part-time now, I want to find the original owner of this courtyard through you." ”

Zhang Lu didn't know what he meant, and said with a smile: "You want to return the lease, right, you don't need to find the original owner to quit the lease, just find me." ”

"No, I want to buy this yard."

Zhang Lu was surprised, turned around and followed Zhang Xiaojing out, and said to Li Siye: "In that case, I'll come to you when I'm free, and we'll talk about it in detail!" ”

Li Siye and Yan Xiaosi continued to return to the main hall to drink, and seeing that it was not early, Wen Ran also got up to say goodbye. Mei'er tugged on the sleeve of Wen Dye, looking a little reluctant. At the beginning, after Li Siye was arranged by the emperor to borrow Li Heng's hand to Anxi, Mei'er often brought Wenran to the house, and often slept together at night. Although Zhang Xiaojing and Gao Shi were also entrusted by Li Siye to take care of Li Mei'er, they were not the masters of this room after all, and they were hindered by men and women, and the family was full of maids and girls, so they were only allowed to come over during the day, and they would never stay at night.

"Sister Wenran, will you stay and sleep tonight?"

Wen Ran's cheeks were slightly red, and he gently broke free of her hand and whispered: "If it was in the past, I would naturally be overjoyed, but today your brother returned from Anxi, and I am not suitable to live here." ”

"What's the problem with that? My brother is easy-going, and he would be glad to know that you would stay overnight, and you say yes, brother. ”

Li Siye had to smile awkwardly, but he didn't actively agree. If it were in the next thousand years, he might have stupidly invited him to stay warmly, but this is the Tang Dynasty after all, even if it is the most open era of feudal society, some etiquette still has to be observed.

"No, Mei'er, it's not something that your brother won't agree to, there is a man in your family, and I, as a woman, can't stay here."

Li Mei'er wanted to sue again, Li Siye said: "Since Wenran refuses to stay, don't be too demanding, wait until tomorrow to study your homework, and then go to her." ”

Even if Li Mei'er was reluctant, she could only obediently let Wen Ran leave, she and her brother sent her out of Xinchangfang, and sent out a few side streets, before seeing her leave, the brother and sister looked back along the sunset city side streets, and the drum towers of each square overlooked their heads.

At this moment, there are only two brothers and sisters left, and it is rare for Li Mei'er to be alone with her brother, and her expression is rarely serious and serious.

"Brother, you're already twenty-four this year."

"Hmm."

"You're now the captain of the Sixth Rank Zhaowu."

"Hmm."

"If you don't return to your hometown and don't worship your parents, is this a violation of filial piety?"

Li Siye was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and asked his sister: "This is also what Mr. Gao taught you?" ”

Li Mei'er nodded seriously: "Mr. does teach something on weekdays, but this truth is a mastery of Mei'er." Mei'er knew that her brother wanted to say that he was only a captain of Sesame University, and it was afraid that people would laugh at him when he returned to his hometown to publicize it. However, having no wife and no queen is the greatest unfilial piety, and now you are twenty-four and still have not married a wife, if your parents know about it, they can still sleep in peace, will they ......?"

"Yes," Li Siye hurriedly shook his head and said, "You are a little girl, and you are even in charge of your brother's affairs." Although it makes a lot of sense, but I am committed to the Anxi frontier, I have no leisure to go to Zhang Luo's marriage, even if I want to get married, someone has to marry me, this matter is destined by fate, and you must not be too forceful. ”

The corners of Li Mei'er's mouth suddenly showed a smile of successful trickery, and she put her hands behind her back and said leisurely: "Brother, do you know a Li Twelve Lady?" ”

"Who!?" Li Siye's mouth opened wide in shock.

As soon as she saw Li Siye's expression, she knew that what Li Shiniang said was true, and there must be a period of greasy between the two, but unfortunately the brother didn't know how to cherish it and wanted to let go of this marriage in vain.

"How is that possible? How did she find you? ”

Li Mei'er spread her hands innocently: "Li Twelve Niang came to Chang'an with her master's sojourn, and specially inquired about our address in Xinchangfang from others. Brother, the twelve ladies came to visit in person, and Mr. Gao, who was also there at the time, just came to sit at home for a while, saying that she was an old acquaintance with you in Anxi, and she came to visit the house. We didn't understand what she meant at the time, and it was only after she left that Mr. Gao opened his mouth to break it. Mr. Gao also praised her for daring to ask for marriage, she is really a strange woman. ”

Li Siye was covered in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he really came to the door, he was not psychologically ready for marriage. When I was a free fighter in my last life, I was thirty years old, and I still didn't have the idea of getting married, and I got along with the opposite sex like a boyfriend and girlfriend. He didn't even dare to imagine that after getting married, the woman's relatives and friends had a lot of relationships, and he needed to pay New Year's greetings to maintain family affection.

"Well, this is a matter of long-term consideration."

"How can you think about it in the long run, people are coming to the door. Even the old maids in the family have said that women are already self-contemptuous when they ask questions about this kind of thing, and they suspect that there may be something wrong with these twelve mothers, and it may be a brain, but I have talked to her and think she is very normal. ”

Li Twelve Niang is so persistent, what is wrong with her? What is his Li Siye's specialty that can make her willing to put down her body and come to him like this.

He thought about it carefully, since this kind of thing came to the door, it would definitely not work to dodge, whether he wanted it or not, he had to solve it himself.

"Let's go." He put his arm around Li Mei'er's shoulders and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to find yourself a sister-in-law?" In case I meet a woman who is not virtuous and virtuous, aren't you afraid that she will bully you, my sister-in-law? ”

Li Mei'er put her hands on her side and said with a dignified demeanor: "Brother, please rest assured, even if she likes to mess around, I will try my best to let her." As long as she can inherit the lineage for our family, she is the biggest hero, and it is nothing if she is wronged. “

"Gotta say it."

Li Siye had a little resentment towards Gao Shi, and thought in his heart that you are Gao Shi, let you teach her poetry and literature to cultivate sentiments, and you actually taught me a feudal female guardian!

In a wooden-walled thatched hut by Qishui, scholar Gao Shi just put down his hoe, reached out to pick up the scroll, and suddenly sneezed twice in a row like thunder! The mist of water from his mouth and nose damped the pages.

……

The brother and sister returned home, fortunately, the child's heart was still alive, and he forgot what happened just now, Li Siye was also a lot more relaxed, and there were some worrying things, it was best to put them down for the time being.

He arranged Yan Xiaosi to rest in the east wing of the inner courtyard, the two old maids lived in the east and west wings of the outer courtyard, and he and his sister slept in the two small rooms on the left and right sides of the main hall.

But on the first night when she came back as her brother, Mei'er wanted to sleep with Li Siye. Recalling that in the past, the two of them lay on the mat under the summer night breeze, with their heads resting on their arms, and did not sleep in the middle of the night, looking for those bad insects that were not spring silkworms from those gaps in the canopy.

She put one leg on Li Siye's stomach, raised her hand to pull up the bamboo curtain of the window, looked at the cloudy canopy and the higher starry sky, and said regretfully: "It's too dark, I can't see anything." ”

The two old maids walked out of the thatched house in the southeast corner of the courtyard, and saw the brother and sister who were casually playing on the floor with the doors and windows open, and whispered to each other: "After all, it is the mother who left early, and the male gentleman taught him well, after all, he is a man, where do you know what women should learn, how to learn men and women, how can the little lady who will be in time next year still sleep with her brother like a drooping little girl." ”
