The New Year in the British Mansion is not lively.

Originally, it was a prosperous mansion, but most of Li Tao's children and grandchildren were officials in other places, and in this era of inconvenient transportation, it often took months to travel to Chang'an from other places.

As a result, the children and grandchildren could only stay in the field, and the days that should have been family reunions were absent one after another.

This year's British Mansion is even more deserted, and there are only three masters: Li Tao, Li Qinzai and Buck'er.

Early in the morning, people hang red lanterns on the lintels and atriums, showing a festive appearance everywhere.

At noon, Li Tao led Li Qinzai and Qiao'er to the Li family ancestral hall in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, where the four generations of ancestors and grandchildren worshiped the ancestors of the Li family together, and sincerely prayed for the prosperity of the family business in the coming year in front of the ancestral tablet, and the people would be free from disasters.

Returning from the ancestral hall, Li Tao ordered a banquet.

Li Qinzai sat down with him, but Li Tao hugged Buckwheat and fed Buckwheat with a loving face.

The love of grandchildren, the more generations are more and more doting, the great-grandfather is particularly fond of the great-grandson, thinking that buckwheat has been living in the countryside since childhood, and after several years of difficult food and clothing, Li Tao can't help but spoil buckwheat more and more.

However, when he raised his eyes and saw Li Qinzai, Li Tao was not angry.

"The old man thought that you had changed your temperament, but I didn't expect that the shot would still be so vicious, not to mention breaking Liu Yuanzhen's leg, do you think that my Li family has not made enough enemies?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Grandpa forgives his sins, and his grandson was a little up-and-...... at that time."

Li Tao sneered: "You are not only the top, you are about to be killed, Liu Yuanzhen is the son-in-law of Li Yifu, don't you know about this?" ”

"My grandson already knew."

"Knowing that you are still so ruthless, Li Yifu will take revenge, your actions have completely offended him to death, and laid a disaster for the future, didn't you think about the consequences before you started?"

"The grandson thought about it, but ...... If the grandson doesn't break Liu Yuanzhen's leg, he will bury a disaster in the Son of Heaven. ”

An imperceptible smile suddenly flashed in Li Tao's eyes: "How do you say this?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't pretend to be confused, you know better than your grandson." This time, the Son of Heaven originally planned to borrow his grandson's hand and beat Li Yifu hard. ”

"If the grandson is too gentle, he may not offend Li Yifu, but the Son of Heaven will be disappointed in his grandson, in contrast, the grandson would rather offend Li Yifu to death than disappoint His Majesty."

Li Tao said in surprise: "What do you see? ”

Li Qinzai lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Grandpa, the grandson does not dare to participate in the affairs of the palace, but when the time is right, he should also show his attitude, the four generations of the Li family are all Tang ministers, and Tang Chen is the minister of Li Tang, and he cannot be loyal to his surname." ”

Li Tao was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "You didn't guess the will of heaven this time, you can be regarded as passing." ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Grandpa has actually seen the intentions of the Son of Heaven for a long time, so he said yesterday that he would allow his grandson to mess around once this time......"

Li Tao glared at him and said, "But you are too nonsense, the old man thought that you smashed someone else's mansion at most, but I didn't expect you to break his leg......"

"And your fox friends and disciples, even the royal history minions don't let go, but it's a good friend and a good friend!"

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "This ...... It was purely an accident, and the grandson really didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic. ”

Li Tao sighed and said: "That's it, this matter is over, Li Yifu must be honest recently, This year, he has danced a little happily, almost only the queen is the head of the horse, there is no heaven in his eyes, it is necessary to beat him, otherwise what awaits him is a steel knife and neck." ”

Saying that, a smile appeared on Li Tao's face: "After this incident, the Son of Heaven may trust you more and more, which is a good thing." The courtier should have the appearance of a courtier, the Son of Heaven has a look, and the courtier should be worried about the king, my Li family has been prominent for three generations, and the old man keeps the way of the monarch and the minister. ”

"Yes, my grandson remembered."

Li Tao glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know why the Son of Heaven used the matter of the knighthood to knock on Li Yifu?" And why did you choose you to do this? ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "Sun Er guesses that the situation in the court is calm now, but it is not calm in the palace. ”

"The queen has helped the Son of Heaven to review the recital for more than half a year, and perhaps she has a little idea of cultivating wings, but Her Majesty has been aware of this, so she ...... Knocking on Li Yifu is knocking on the queen, but loving couples can't tear their faces, and letting their grandson do this is the most suitable person. ”

"The grandson is a bastard, and at first glance, he was the lord of the county, Li Yifu tested the bottom line of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven slapped him with the hand of the grandson, and it was normal to break Liu Yuanzhen's leg with the grandson's previous behavior."

"The Son of Heaven has achieved his goal, the queen has also been warned, Li Yifu has retracted his claws, and the discussion in the court about the knighthood of his grandson will surely disappear...... In one fell swoop, the Son of Heaven is very smart. ”

Li Tao nodded approvingly.

Li Qinzai said: "What's more, Sun Er made gunpowder, which aroused His Majesty's ambition, and next year he may go east to Goguryeo, and it is said that His Majesty will personally conquer Goguryeo." Oh, before the royal expedition, the palace should be cleaned, otherwise there will be a fire in the backyard during the Eastern Expedition, and the trouble will be big. ”

"It's a pity that Your Majesty is the king of benevolence and righteousness after all, just beating the warning, if the first emperor Taizong made a move, there would be a head on the ground today, otherwise how can the backyard be safe."

Li Tao's eyes showed a look of relief, and then he sighed slowly: "Qin Zai can figure out these joints, and in the future, you won't be able to suffer a loss, the old man can rest assured." ”

didn't directly praise him for guessing correctly, but Li Tao's tone said it all.

In the British Mansion, where the population is not prosperous, a banquet is a little deserted, Li Tao keeps feeding Buckwheat, the rhythm is a little fast, Buckwheat is stuffed with a mouthful, and Li Tao's chopsticks are still stretched out.

Buckwheat was anxious, whined a few times, and in a hurry, reached out and grabbed Li Tao's beard and dragged it down.

Li Tao laughed happily.

After laughing, he sighed in frustration, and Li Tao said: "It's a pity that there are few people in our mansion this year, only the three of us are left, and I feel desolate when I think about it......"

Li Qinzai said in a low voice: "If grandpa was a little more competitive when he was young and had a few more children, he would not be so desolate, as the so-called 'don't wait for leisure, the young man's head is white, and he is empty and sad'......"

As soon as the words fell, Li Tao was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and a bamboo chopstick darted over like a flying knife, Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped, and his body flashed, which could be dodged.

"Bastard thing, why is your mouth so cheap? Don't think that if your father and mother are not around, the old man is reluctant to beat you. Li Tao shouted angrily.

There was a sudden pain in his jaw, and Buck'er was pulling Li Tao's beard vigorously, and the milk glared at him fiercely: "Great-ancestor, don't bully my father!" ”

Li Qinzai's eyes were red with emotion: "Dad's good eldest son will grow up quickly, give birth to a grandson for Dad, I also want to beat a grandson to play......"
