Li Siye slowly exited Li Mei'er's room, and was just about to turn around and go downstairs, when he heard a soft singing voice overhead, he stopped and listened for a moment, the tone of the twelve mothers was hoarse and lonely, and it was very torturous.

As he was about to leave, he turned around in a tangled way, walked to the corner of the wall and climbed up the wooden ladder, pushed open the rainproof wooden cover at the top, and leaned out halfway.

Twelve Niang rode on a domed stone pillar with her back to him, her loose pleated skirt covering the spire, as if she had put a white hat on the roof.

He shouted to Twelve Niang: "What are you doing climbing so high, come down quickly!"

Twelve Niang broke up her hair bun, her long hair fluttered on her shoulders with the summer breeze, she turned around and raised her hand to pluck the confused hair on her face, and said loudly: "It's cool above, and I can see it far away, I can see the master of Chang'an Taizhenguan."

Li Siye lost his mind in an instant, and the twelve mothers at this time had the taste of Lin Qingxia's undefeated in the East, and the charm and arrogance of women gathered together without disobedience. Yes, she has two swords by her side, and she can be regarded as half a Jianghu person.

She turned around and said, "Li Lang, you can come up too." ”

Li Siye pondered for a while, the top of the round arch of the roof is so big that it can only accommodate one person, if he goes up, how can he coexist with Twelve Niang, do you want her to sit on him.

He touched the roof again, and although it was made of white clay, it was very solid and smooth, and he was not sure if he would fall down.

"You better come down, I asked Mrs. Wu to make dinner, and I will have a good meal at home tonight, and I will go to the camp on the bank of the White Horse River tomorrow to take office."

Twelve Niang nodded obediently, she sat on the stone pillar and turned around, first poked her two long legs down, the spacious middle coat was wrapped around the leggings, the skirt was flickering in the wind, and it was impossible to see any scenery under the skirt. Li Siye wanted her to jump off by herself, but her face was so frightened that she had to stretch out her hands to support her feet, I really don't know how she climbed up just now.

"You let go slowly, I'll slowly put you down."

Li Siye slowly squatted down with both hands supporting her feet, Twelve Niang looked down at him with her eyebrows, and then leaned softly into his arms. The dress was fragrant, and her face was slightly shy.

He coughed and straightened Twelve Niang and asked her to climb down the ladder first, but she turned around with a smile on her lips and jumped into the building dexterously, her body as light as a cat.

He may have forgotten that Twelve Niang is a woman who practices sword dance, her body is light and she has practiced systematically, how can she be afraid if she can climb so high? Is this a trick by a woman? Did you work so hard to eat his tofu?

The wind picked up at night, and the thorny willow trees rustled. Li Siye ordered his subordinates to carry all the beds, desks and sheep felt in the courtyard to the house and close the door. He loosened the pulleys on the wall, lowered the brass chandelier, lit the wick, and the dim light illuminated the main hall.

Aunt Wu walked in from the side room wrapped in a leather apron, lowered her body and said, "Please invite Ah Lang and the two ladies to dine."

Li Siye smiled, Aunt Wu liked this formal tone. She used to be the maidservant of a wealthy family, and after being driven away in old age, she still remembered the sacred and solemn rules of her master's family. Although the current Li Siye family is not a wealthy family, it is on the road to a wealthy family, and the rules she keeps in mind have finally come in handy.

"Okay, let's dine."

Mrs. Chen stood at the door of the side hall and shouted in a vicissitudes of life: "Serve!"

Four maidservants entered the side door, holding a wooden plate with a large porcelain basin containing dishes, a pot of mutton, a pot of roasted lamb shank, a basin of noodle soup, and a pot of flax cakes. They went to the four-legged table in the center of the hall in turn, put down the trays, and then brought out the dishes one by one with linen cloth.

"Please take your seat."

Li Siye couldn't wait for a long time, walked over and sat down, and Twelve Niang also sat opposite him.

He beckoned and asked Wu Niangzi: "What about Mei'er?" What are you doing upstairs, tell him to come down. ”

Wu Niangzi immediately assigned a servant girl to go upstairs to call, and then said to the other servant girls with a cold face: "Why are you staring at it, why don't you hurry up and serve soup to Ah Lang He and the twelve ladies of the guests." ”

Li Twelve Niang snorted lightly in her throat, obviously dissatisfied with Wu Niangzi calling her a guest, Li Siye had to tilt her head and pretend not to see it.

Two Sogdian women came forward, holding small bowls and spoons of soup, and then slicing meat on the leg of lamb with knives, and serving them to each of them. Li Mei'er finally came late, and first called Brother Elder before coming to the case, and then called Twelve Niang with a smile.

Li Siye lifted the chopsticks and said, "I'm already hungry and growling, hurry up and copy the guy."

Wu Niangzi twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that the master's vulgar words were not suitable for the current occasion, but she could only let it go.

Li Twelve Niang looked at Li Siye with a smile. She went in and out of the court when she was a child, and her master often served as a guest of royal nobles, and she had never seen any scenes.

Li Siye looked back at the subordinates who were accompanying him on the left and right, waved his hand and said, "Wu Niangzi, you can also go down to eat, we all have hands and feet, so we don't have to wait."

Wu Niangzi folded her hands on her waist, and her demeanor was upright and unsmiling: "Ah Lang, the rule of a big family is that only after the master has eaten can the subordinates eat, and we will serve here and wait for the master's support at any time."

"No need, we're a big family, let's go down and eat."

"But Aaron ......"

"Hey, it's nothing, I'm tired after a busy day's work, eat early, rest early."

A thin figure leaned out from behind the side door panel, and a six- or seven-year-old Sogdian girl clutched the door with both hands, her big deep eyes staring at the pot of meat and vegetable soup on the four-legged table.

"Coo-coo......" The sound of hunger tormented in the stomach.

Li Siye followed the voice and beckoned to the child: "Come here."

After all, the child was afraid of life, and looked up for his mother among the servant maids, who shook their heads mechanically.

Li Siye grabbed a flax cake from the porcelain basin, walked towards the child, stuffed the cake into her hand, and walked over holding her hand.

Hunger finally overcame the fear of her master, and the little girl took the loaf of bread with both hands and began to chew it with great gusto.

"Look at the hungry child," Li Siye raised his head and said to Wu Niangzi: "Hurry up and bring a few bowls, put some soup cakes, mutton, and lamb legs, and bring them down for the child to eat."

Wu Niangzi pursed her lips, she wanted to say that this was not in accordance with the rules, but Ah Lang's words were unquestionable, so she had to bow her head to a few maidservants. The maidservants came up with a bowl to serve soup and meat, and Li Meier rubbed to Li Siye's side and touched the little girl's head, and fed the meat slices with chopsticks. Twelve Niang always looked at Li Siye with affection, not only discovering his extraordinary instruments, but also discovering his tolerance and kindness. The case was chaotic but warm. Wu Niangzi was desperate to find that the rules of the big family he insisted on could not be maintained in this family for even a moment.

"Mrs. Wu, take them down to eat."

She bowed down respectfully and replied, "Ah, Ah Lang."

She was just about to turn around and leave, but Li Siye spoke up behind her again: "Uh, by the way, there is one thing I have to say, although I am only a fourth-grade official, but the people in the family can still afford to support me, you don't give me any money leftover, let them eat and dress warmly, and only after they have enough food can they have the strength to work." Don't you want to make this family seem to have rules, then I will set a rule and not treat people harshly, which is the first family rule of our Gaoling Li family, how about it?"

Wu Niangzi's body trembled, and she hurriedly turned around and bowed: "Oh."

Several Sogdian maidservants also turned around in unison, knelt on the ground towards Li Siye, crossed their hands with jerky Central Plains etiquette, and said in jerky words: "Thank you, Aaron Ende!"

(PS: Thank you for the reward from the distant 123 starry sky.) ）
