0854 Xiangyang Home
"The son is not filial, and his parents are frightened and uneasy, so he has to return to greet him, and I respectfully ask Ye Niang to blame!"
After returning to Xiangyang from Jiangling, Li Tai visited his parents for the first time, and saw that his parents were still healthy and sound as yesterday, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.
Last year, in order to avoid Yuwentai's suspicion, he did not take his family away from Guanzhong before launching the rebellion, although he was sure that as long as he succeeded in seizing military power, Yuwentai would not dare to harm his relatives easily. Of course, if the seizure of power is not successful, he himself is estimated to have no future, and there is no need to worry about anything else.
But even if the safety of life is guaranteed, it is inevitable to be afraid. Especially since his parents are not young anymore, and he doesn't know if he can bear it when life suddenly becomes so exciting. Now that there is finally a thrilling reunion, Li Tai is also quite fortunate in his heart.
Mother Lu Shi looked at her son in front of the worship table, and before she could speak, she had already shed tears. Father Li Xiao's mood was still stable, he got up and patted his son on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The hard work of doing things outside has made my son bear, even if my parents and relatives encounter some twists and turns, what's the big deal?
Besides, what you did was not a criminal deed, but a major event that benefited the family and the country and the world. Incompetent old man, half his life, what is the world? I don't expect the door to have such a strong breath, and in the coming year, the world will be governed, and the world will also need to praise this old man for his virtue!"
Several other cousins in the hall also said yes again and again when they heard this, and they also wanted to inquire about the current personnel situation in Gangneung with a curious face. Since the division of the north and the south, this is a place that the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Dynasties have never tended, which naturally makes them very curious.
However, before they could confide in this full of questions, they were stopped by Li Xiao waving his hand.
"Even if there is some disturbance, people can comfort each other. But the bride was left alone, and there was no one around to comfort her, and now she has added to my family, and my son has lost a lot, and now that he has returned, he will not come to condolences quickly!"
Li Xiao grabbed his son's arm and pushed him out, and Lu Shi also nodded again and again after hearing this, signaling his son to hurry up to visit his wife and children.
Of course, Li Tai was also very eager to see his wife and children, and when he heard his parents make this statement, he no longer held back, and turned to his wife and children.
In the warm pavilion, the walls are hung with various brightly colored satins, the floor is also covered with fluffy and soft carpets, and the edges and corners of tables, chairs, screens and other utensils are rounded and wrapped in soft leather. Several handmaidens stood in the corner of the wall in front of the door, all staring at a baby playing on the carpet.
Dressed in fashionable clothes, the plain face of the lovely lady looked at the sky outside the door, between her eyebrows and eyes was quite anxious, waiting to see her son holding a brocade wrapped hydrangea to play seriously, then tiptoed to the door, but when his figure just drilled outside the door curtain, the room suddenly came from the sound of waw wow crying.
"Stinky boy! I've worked hard to give birth to you, and now I'm going to prevent my husband and wife from reuniting!"
Hearing this shout, Miao Yin retreated into the room with a dejected face, pointed at her son and said angrily.
The kid didn't realize that he had annoyed his mother, and when he saw his mother back in the room, he grinned and babbled and threw the hydrangea in the direction of his mother, and his strength was not small, but the ball only landed on a pair of small short-legged pants***, so he leaned down and used his head to climb towards his mother with the hydrangea on his head, but his muscles and bones were still immature, and he fell to the ground when he leaned over slightly.
Although Miao Yin was a little helpless when she saw this, she could only sit back in front of the little guy, pick up the toys that were thrown everywhere by the kid and send them back to him one by one, and looked at the woman sitting quietly on the other side of the room with some distress and said, "Yao Niangzi, this little thing is really too obsessed, is there a way for him to change it?"
That Yao Niangzi was about the same age as Miaoyin, and there was a lot of beauty and gentleness between her eyebrows, and when she heard Miaoyin's question, she smiled and said, "When Tong Er was young, he liked to be close to familiar people, and it was precisely because of the princess's love for the little boy that the little boy was so obsessed. If the princess only visits in the morning and evening, and does not breastfeed and hands over to the nursing mother, the little boy will not be so obsessed with it in a few days."
"I really have no conscience, and I will change my sex in a few days! You are such a man of affection, but you are unkind."
Miao Yin was still annoyed that her son was pestering herself too much, but after hearing this, she became angry, grabbed the kid and put it on her lap and slapped the pink little buttocks, the doll naturally didn't know what her mother was reprimanding, but she was playing with herself, her fat cheeks were full of smiles, and her short limbs were constantly waving.
Seeing that the child was so lively and cute, the thin anger on Miaoyin's face turned into a doting smile, and she took this little thing into her arms and sighed: "He is tired of making merit outside, and he pays this essence and blood to me, who do I rely on if I don't feed him? Besides, I am not poor milk, so who will feed me if I don't feed my son?"
This lady is a new mother, and the pregnancy is the blood of the beloved, although there are many maids around her, but she still insists on her own hands in the upbringing of her son, and is not like the general noble lady of other families who will hand over everything to the next person after giving birth to a child, so the child is also particularly attached to the mother, and will cry if he does not see him for a while. So much so that knowing that the husband was returning today, Miao Yin couldn't go to greet him as soon as possible.
"Lady, lady, the lord of Lang has returned to the house, and he is coming, he is coming here!"
The maid outside the door hurriedly came here to report the news, Miaoyin suddenly became a little excited after hearing this, picked up her son and wanted to get up to greet him, but thought that she was still plain-faced, not powdered, so she was a little nervous, first stuffed her son to the maidservant, and turned around and grabbed a shawl, but it was always too late to refine her makeup, so she looked at her son and snorted: "If you hate me like this, the boy is waiting to be punished!"
At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, Li Tai stepped into the warm pavilion, his eyes fell on his own lady, and he smiled toothily and said, "Lady, I'm back!" Don't come for a few months, there are all things in the family."
While speaking, Li Tai walked straight to this lady, grabbed this lady's white and tender and soft and looked up and down a few times, but Miaoyin had forgotten herself and threw herself into the arms of her husband, her arms tightly wrapped around Li Tai's waist, and her pretty face was buried in her chest.
The maidservants in the house are not surprised by the love between the lord and the mother, but the boy who has just come to this world and is still ignorant of his father does not care about this, and he screams in the arms of the maid, and does not allow others to compete with him for the arms of his mother.
Li Tai then shifted his attention to this kid, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he stretched out his hand to this kid, and said with a smile: "I'll take a look at what the lady has added to my family!" By the way, did he pee?"
He remembers that whenever there is such a warm scene in many film and television dramas, there will inevitably be a clear urine to help the fun, and he doesn't want to be doused by this kid.
"Xiao Lang has a regular drink, and there is a pocket under the crotch, so the Lang master can rest assured."
The maidservant smiled and sent the child to Li Tai's hands, but the kid was still twisting his head and didn't obey, but Li Tai grabbed it, raised it in front of him and was ready to kiss the little face, and as soon as his mouth was closed, he was punched, and then laughed again.
"When I was away from home for a long time, I worked hard for you to take care of the lady and the child. This time I returned to the house to bring some Gangneung current goods, things may not be precious but also novel and interesting, and I will go to the head of Zhusheng later to receive a thin gift, to thank you for your dedication to my family!"
Li Tai hugged the lady with one hand and the child with the other, looked at everyone in the room and said with a smile.
The birth of a lady has always been a knot in his heart, and there is no lack of anxiety about it.
When the lady really went into labor, he was not around, and he had to fight for the future of himself and his family, and now he finally returned, seeing that his wife and children were healthy and lively, his heart was naturally very grateful, and he was grateful to these people who took care of his wife and children on his behalf, and they gave a generous gift to share their joy with everyone.
"Thank you, Lord Lang! Thank you, King!"
There are old and new people here, and the titles of Li Tai are also different, but the joy after hearing these words is the same.
"Mrs. Yao, please come in!"
Miao Yin also took two steps forward at this time, beckoned to Yao Niangzi, who was hidden behind the maidservants, and motioned for him to come forward, and then introduced to Li Tai: "This is the daughter-in-law of General Yao of Jiangling who sent a gift to Xingzhou before the husband. Even Aunt Weng's discomfort after coming to Xiangyang was a little unwell, and she was also helped by Yao Niangzi
I'm busy diagnosing the cooking."
After Li Tai heard this, he hurriedly straightened his expression, and bowed slightly to the daughter of Yao Seng Yuan and said: "When I entered the room, I only saw my wife and children and the old family members of the family, but I didn't know that there were still distinguished guests here, it was really rude, please forgive Mrs. Yao, thank you Mrs. Yao for all the things in my family."
That Yao Niangzi was originally a quiet and elegant person, but in the face of Li Tai, a big man who was famous all over the world and had just pacified Jiangling, she was still a little cramped and uneasy, and although she had heard the people in the house talk about the demeanor of the King of Taiyuan before, she found that her appearance and demeanor were more than what she had heard and thought before, which inevitably made this Yao Niangzi even more nervous, her head drooped deeply, and she murmured in her mouth: "The great and the king are serious, and those who have lost their country are fortunate to be sheltered and have a place to stay. It is the honor of a concubine to repay the grace with a little skill......
Seeing that this Yao Niangzi was really a little restrained and shy, and she was not her own servant or relative after all, Li Tai was not good at ignoring Tang Tuqi, so he ordered the maid to lead this Yao Niangzi to the accommodation in the mansion first, so that she had to say goodbye to the lady.
It's just that the conversation between the husband and wife is not quiet, and the child is always playing and noisy. Four or five-month-old children eat a lot, sleep enough, and once awake, they are energetic, sitting or lying in the room, toys are thrown everywhere, and the attributes of the bear child have been revealed.
Li Tai was only close for a while and was a little unbearable by this kid, so he only kicked this kid who arched everywhere, which made Miao Yin angry again and again. But after playing like this for a while, this kid gradually became closer to Li Tai, and when he saw his Lao Tzu stretching out his hands and feet, he lay back on the carpet with interest, giggling in his mouth, and the father and son were having a lot of fun.
Miao Yin originally complained that her son was too pestering, but when she saw that the father and son quickly got acquainted, the kid was a little bit of a lover of herself, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and raised her hand to slap the kid twice, and the kid actually got into his father's arms and yelled at his mother, but he was pushed out by his old man very unrighteously, and after a lot of exhaustion, he fell asleep on Li Tai's lap.
When the maidservant girl gently carried the child out, Miao Yin smiled and said to Li Tai: "Ah Weng sees that the eldest grandson of this family also likes it very much, and gives it the proposed name Li Jin, what does the husband think?"
"Li Jin? Haha......"
When Li Tai heard this name, he was a musician, because he remembered that Li He in the Middle Tang Dynasty missed the imperial examination because he avoided his father, and his own Lao Tzu named his child because he didn't want to go out of the family as a jinshi?
But after thinking about it, if his direct descendants still have to rely on the imperial examination to enter the office, then what has he been busy with all these years? But now that he remembered this, he felt that it was still necessary to correct some of Shiliu's views on the increasingly strict avoidance, if it was too rigorous and rigid, it would inevitably be a little too much.
Li Tai didn't have any opinion on his son's name, so he discussed with his mother, and his son's nickname might as well be called Jiangling Le. This kid was born shortly after Li Tai conquered Gangneung, not only to commemorate his father's exploits, but also to mean that their family's situation has stepped into a new realm, and also to entrust Li Tai with a vision of the integration of the north and the south.
This kid's life is much better than his Lao Tzu, and he was canonized as the Duke of Nanjun by the imperial court not long ago, and he has surpassed most people in the world when he is still young.
Li Tai originally wanted to refuse, such a young child knows something, there is no need to engage in these vain and exaggerated styles. However, Yuwentai may be in order to reflect the meaning that the Chinese and foreign governments have released their previous suspicions with Daxingtai in Shannan Province, and he took out his identity as a cheap grandfather to talk about things, and the envoy finally gave this kid the title of county duke.
This incident also made another grandfather, Dugu Xin, very displeased, and felt that he was being neglected, so when the child was 100 days old, he sent someone to send a lot of treasures to Xiangyang to show his identity as a genuine grandfather.
When Li Tai heard the lady talk about these things, he smiled heartily, but also felt a little sorry in his heart. This time, almost all of his relatives came to Xiangyang, and even the brothers Li Gang and Li Xuan, who were distant relatives, also left Guanzhong with their father. Now the closest person left in the pass is the father-in-law Dugu Xin.
In fact, Li Tai also hopes that his father-in-law Duguxin will come to Xiangyang together, no matter how it is arranged, at least his personal safety can be guaranteed.
After all, now there is only one level of harmony left between the Zhongwaifu and Shannan Province.
There is already a deep rift inside, and even Li Tai himself can't say what the future situation will be, especially before and after Yu Wentai's death, the situation will become more tense and antagonistic.
But he also understood that it was impossible for Yuwentai to let Duguxin leave Guanzhong. The current situation can barely be suppressed, but if Dugu Xin, an old fellow who has always waited for Yi, is also out of his control, it will be absolutely unacceptable to Yuwentai!
Although Li Tai is now self-reliant in the southeast, the corresponding influence in Guanzhong will also be greatly weakened, and can only be indirectly affected by some roundabout ways, so it is difficult to have any timely response and care for Duguxin who is still in Guanzhong, and can only give certain reminders and suggestions at some key nodes.
Thinking of Duguxin, Li Tai couldn't help but think of Yu Jin, who was still recuperating in Xiangyang.
Although Li Tai still has no guilt about the matter of Xiang Yu's black hand, he is still a little embarrassed when he thinks that this old gentleman's illness is also caused by himself.
The servant came to report that dinner was ready, so the husband and wife got up and went out of the warm pavilion to dine with the family while the child was still asleep.
The family gathered together, and the atmosphere was very lively. Li Tai asked people to go to the house to summon a few Feng and Li Ya two boys to the inner mansion to participate in the family banquet together, these two boys have grown up in their own homes, no matter how much they care, they are no different from their families.
Li Gang and Li Xuan's brothers also brought their children and their families to the mansion to attend the banquet, Li Tai did not have much contact with their brothers because of a long time in the town, and the last time he came and went was because of the problem of the eldest grandson's family. But after his father Li Xiao arrived in Guanzhong, the Li Gang brothers also came to visit frequently, and they became familiar with each other.
Although they are not close to Li Tai, after all, they are all from the Li family in Longxi, and the Yang Kuan experience of the Hongnong Yang family is also frightening, rather than continuing to stay in Guanzhong with trepidation, it is better to simply go to Xiangyang to join Li Tai.
When their children entered the ceremony, Li Tai saw that Li Yi had a daughter who was young and dignified and beautiful, and his heart couldn't help but move, he glanced at a number of phoenixes at the table, and wondered whether to introduce this little cousin to his brother Bodhidharma.
Li Tai is not reluctant to give up his daughter, the problem is that he doesn't have a sister, even if Ye Niang works hard, several phoenixes can't wait for more than ten years. The cousins also have daughters at home, but he is commensurate with several Feng brothers, and the other party became his niece and son-in-law, which is still a little weird after all.
Li Gang and their father Li Yanzhi were also famous ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty and posthumously gifted Situ, compared to a number of phoenixes who were born in the town soldiers' families, their family background was noble. And aside from opening the door, the relationship between a number of Feng and Li Tai is no different from a brother, if this family affair can be completed, it can be regarded as a kiss and a kiss, and he can also say that he has lived up to the trust of a number of favors.
He didn't reveal this careful thought for the time being, but he didn't escape the observation of his own lady. When she returned to the room after the family banquet, Miao Yin smiled and said, "During the banquet, the husband just looked at some Dharma and that cousin Qiao'er, could it be that he wanted to promote a good relationship between them?"
Li Tai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "The lady is really observant, yes, I do have such thoughts. It's just that I haven't been at home for a long time, and I don't know what my cousin's family thinks, so I didn't rush to ask."
"This matter really shouldn't be said by the husband, the cousin and the uncle came to join each other from afar, although it was said to help the husband, but after all, it was inevitable to send people under the fence. If the husband speaks, they may lose their hearts in response or refusal, and they will inevitably have mustards. It is better for the concubine to visit on a certain day and ask her daughters what they think of some of the Dharmas."
When Miao Yin heard her husband say this, she smiled again and said, "I still remember back then, if it wasn't for the disputes with some Bodhidharma, I wouldn't have seen my husband. He has been close to his husband for a long time, and he needs to call me a sister-in-law, and since he has this intention, I will also try to help him make a good match."
Hearing that the lady took the initiative to respond to this matter, Li Tai also relieved his heart and hugged the lady and thanked him a few times. This lady and young woman are more plump and moving after pregnancy, Li Tai drank a few glasses of thin wine at dinner, and the husband and wife have been separated for a long time, and now the ears and temples are grinding, and the snort is getting hotter.
However, it is at this time
, A child's cry suddenly sounded in the other room, and the husband and wife who were in love with each other were both stunned, and after a while, Li Tai snorted in his nose and said, "Leave him alone!"
"Husband, let's rest first, if the concubine doesn't look up, this kid will really cry non-stop."
Miao Yin comforted the restless husband for a few words, but still endured the apology and got up, walked briskly to the other room, and hugged the crying son from the maid's arms to coax him to feed.
After half an hour, the child fell asleep, and when the lady went to bed again, she heard the uniform snoring of the husband under the quilt. She curled up her soft and plump delicate body again, lay on her side in her husband's arms, and slept together.
