Li Siye hit his horse and came behind Tian Renwan, his staff and his husband Meng Lingcha, and said with his crossed hands: "Humble Li Siye, I have seen Tanaka Cheng."

Tian Renwan had a chest-length beard, turned sideways from the horse, and carefully looked at Li Siye for a while before saying with a smile: "It turns out that this is Li Siye, the first brave general in Anxi who responded with fifty people and won the battle of Talas City."

"Zhongcheng praised it."

"Anxi has a athlete like you, I can rest assured that I can take office with this festival, let's go."

Li Siye raised his head again and crossed his hand, before he pulled the reins of the horse and raised his head. Since Tanaka Cheng wants to arrange noodles, we are the most powerful general figurines, sassy and heroic, like a tiger sitting on a hill.

Tian Renwan glanced back again, nodded approvingly, turned back and stroked his beard and said, "General Li."

"The last general!"

"You follow me."

"Whoa!"

Tian Renwan's secretary in charge, the marching Sima hurriedly set the horse aside and made room for Li Siye.

"Drive," he stepped forward with the horse's belly, first hugged his fists and saluted everyone, and the other party also returned the salute, the atmosphere of the two sides was harmonious and easy-going, and sometimes exchanged heads and ears to greet each other.

The morning sun rises at the head of the Jinguang Gate, sprinkles a layer of golden light on the green tiles on the top of the hanging hill of the city tower, Li Meier climbs to the edge of the carriage and lifts the curtain, looks back at the streets of Chang'an City, thousands of eaves are bathed in the glow, adding a bit of solemnity and solemnity to the imperial capital.

At this moment, the morning sun is translucent and yellow, like a sunset.

……

A month and a half later, Tian Renwan's festival finally arrived in Qiuzi City, and the generals of Anxi came to the city gate to greet him. Tanaka Cheng is also easy-going, he didn't come to any dismount or three fires, but just comforted the generals to work hard and maintain the current situation in Anxi.

Although Anxi has long been upgraded to the protector of the capital, the area under its jurisdiction is also the largest in the border towns, but the position of the Jiedu envoy is not very fragrant, most of the generals have made meritorious contributions in office, and they have sought to be transferred to Hexi, Longyou and other border towns to make the Jiedu envoy, is this what people often say that thousands of miles of remote land is not as good as Bailifu Town?

Tian Renwan probably also has such thoughts, he must have also gone to Li Xiangfu to ask for advice, and the only thing that is missing at the moment is to make a great contribution in Anxi, and then either enter the court as the prime minister, or be transferred to him as a town, which is much better than staying in Anxi.

Li Siye and his family settled down in Qiuzi City, and Fumeng Lingcha used his power to arrange a house in the city for him, a flat-roofed house made of chiseled stone and white clay in the style of the Western Regions. The main house has two floors, with a thick arch at the top, a porch and columns made of chisel stone, and a yard planted with thorn willow and date palms.

This is the advantage of being a public person, except for the lady regardless of the distribution, the rest are distributed by the Metropolitan Protectorate, in addition to the Lu rice money, Anxi rich melons, fruits and wine also have a small share, and there is charcoal in winter.

Li Mei'er carried a half-human-sized bag, helped the courtyard door to enter, and looked at the new mansion curiously with wide watery eyes, her palm touched the earthen wall by the door, and a layer of white soil fell.

Aunt Wu came up from behind, took the burden from her hand, and called out again and again: "Hey, little lady, don't you dare to lift such a heavy thing, you still have to grow taller."

Twelve Niang walked in with a package, stood under the thorn willow tree and looked up, she then took off her hat and veil, and said naturally: "This will be our home from now on."

Mrs. Chen glanced at her with a different color, muttering but not speaking, probably frightened by the thickness of her face.

"This house is far worse than our yard in Chang'an." It took a long time for Li Mei'er's little lady to spit out this sentence.

"I guess it's a different style." Li Siye clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile: "This kind of flat-roofed house, the domed house is a rare thing in Chang'an City, you can only see it in Huaiyuanfang, I heard that many dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an have built a dome house at home, which is warm in winter and cool in summer." Now the allocation of rooms is started, you can choose where you want to live, if it is not enough, I will buy the yard next door. ”

He walked under the thorn willow tree, pointed to the ground, and said, "Set up a hu bed here, and put a four-legged case next to it, and put melons and fruits on it, so that you can watch the stars under the tree at night in summer."

"Okay." Li Mei'er pouted and nodded, reluctantly accepting the appearance of her new home.

The two old maids were already busy, shouting at Zhang Luo: "Ah Lang, Mei'er, and that ...... Lady, put all the packages outside first, and then move in when we clean up the house!"

Mrs. Chen carried the wooden bucket to the well in the courtyard, and immediately held her forehead, leaning softly on the wheel: "Oh, this well is so deep."

Li Siye hurriedly went over to help her up, which was probably caused by fear of heights. He looked down at the depths of the well, it was indeed deep enough, estimated to be more than fifty zhang, and the rope coiled on the wheel was densely wrapped around again and again.

"I'll fetch water, and you don't go near the well."

Twelve Niang went to find a wooden basin by herself, dipped a piece of wool skin in the water, and walked towards the bottom of the main house by herself.

Li Siye glanced up at her and did not speak. Two maidservants whispered beside her: "This is already the mother of the family."

Yan Xiaosi led the horses and carriages into the stable in the backyard, and Li Siye beckoned to him: "Xiaosi, don't be busy, you can take a good rest, and set off with me tomorrow to the city of Change, and hand over the affairs of the Eighth Regiment."

He turned to the two old maids again and said, "Aunt Wu, Mrs. Chen, don't be busy, come with me to the Qiuzi Market in the afternoon to buy some spare things at home." Uh, Twelve Niang, Mei'er also go, and go to the human market with Brother Ah to buy a few slaves and maids that can be called, and also save Aunt Wu and Mrs. Chen a lot of labor. ”

When he said this, there was a faint sense of guilt and shame in his heart, he had been assimilated by the feudal lords and began to become a powerful ruling class. If you put a small round hat on your head and put on a collared beard, you will be a proper old man.

The two old maids waved their hands again and again and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, we can do the work at home...... But big families like to buy a lot of slaves and maids, and they are easy to use and stylish. ”

……

The people of Qiuzi were noisy in the market, and the Hu people who spoke various languages were noisy inside, and from time to time someone stretched out his finger to make gestures, and two connoisseurs pinched their hands under their sleeves to bargain.

Li Siye thought that in such a place, it was necessary to find someone who knew how to come over, otherwise it would be easy for the shrewd and cunning Sogdians to be slaughtered as the wronged boss.

He found Suhrab, a big cotton merchant in the Qiuzi market, and they used to have a business cooperation, and now Suhe is still guarding the cotton quilts produced by the green ridge.

"The water in this person's market is indeed very deep, General Li, you are looking for me to find the right person, I usually go to the market to go around, and I will buy it back when I find a little appearance, and I won't tell you, there are more than 100 beautiful maids in my family, so why do you buy it in the market? Sukh, I'm beating my chest! Go to my house and choose a few, and you will pick the most beautiful. In my family, there are not only Kunlun slave girls, but also Persian women, big cannibal women, and even blonde and blue-eyed beauties abducted from the west by slave traders. ”

Before Su He's words fell, he felt a chill on the back of his head, and quietly turned around to see a woman with two swords on her back, wearing a veil on her face, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows and almond eyes staring at him coldly.

"Oh, General Li has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the ladies in the family can't be left unattended, and when I pick them later, I will ask the two ladies to take a few more looks, as long as you are satisfied, we will buy it, if you are not satisfied, we will not buy it."

The hostile gaze finally disappeared, Su He quietly wiped his forehead, bent down at the corner of the road and stretched out his hand to invite: "Just over there, the grass hall, the best slaves are traded inside, General Li please, lady first please."

He waited for the cold-faced veiled beauty to pass in front of him, and then straightened up slightly.

"Whew," Su He breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: "I've fooled a woman all my life, how can I not have this bit of eyesight, careless."
