Chapter 19 Grace and Righteousness
Simple huts, warm meals, three neat pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
There is nothing a mother desires more than this, which is calm but reassuring.
But tonight, there is a reason for Liu's peace of mind. It's nothing more than an extra pair of chopsticks on the table, and the black man who doesn't seem to be in harmony has also called his mother since he entered the room and bowed respectfully to Liu. The brothers have not left the table since dusk. Today, as if modified, I didn't gobble it up, but put all my energy on those jars of good wine.
I saw the three brothers drinking bowl after bowl, quietly enjoying the peaceful time with the Liu family, while laughing, until Li Yuanan quietly told everyone that he was going to marry Miss Zhou soon, which instantly broke the comfortable atmosphere.
Luo Erhu took the lead in putting down the bowl with a "bang", then got up and stumbled and said, "Big, big brother, you are really not interesting!" Yes, if you want to marry your sister-in-law, why don't you tell my brother first! Brothers, it's okay, it's not a courtesy! I'm the first! ......”
Li Yuan looked at Liu who was leaning on the bed in embarrassment, and the mother and son looked at each other for a moment, only to see Liu gently covering his mouth, his chest rising and falling excitedly, and his eyes revealed complicated feelings.
Then Liu Jiangsheng saw that the black guy's cheeks were as if they were smeared with rouge, and they were surprisingly red, so he gave this fool a kick with a smile, and scolded angrily: "Mother is here, Brother Yuan doesn't talk to your mother first, do you talk to you first?" ”
I saw Luo Erhu fall to the ground on his back in response, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing, Xu was already going to fight with Zhou Gong.
"It's better to sleep here, so as not to disturb the big thing!" Li Yuan glanced at the ground snoring, and then said to Liu with a sincere face: "Mother, why don't you speak?" That Miss Zhou, but not satisfied? ”
Liu sighed lightly, raised his hand and gently stroked Li Yuan's face, as if he was a child: "How can my mother be dissatisfied?" My brother Yuan has been a person with ideas since he was a child, and now that he is an official, he looks like he is about to start a family again. Mother just thought that it would be great if the owner and his wife could see Brother Yuan'er have this day......" said and his eyes moistened again.
Li Yuan naturally understood everything Liu said, and he remembered it since he could remember, and Liu often wiped the three spirit cards with his heart, and that was Li Yuan's biological parents. is enough to make Liu's life unforgettable, only the old lady who died early in Xuzhou.
There was no need to say anything at this time, Li Yuan just held Liu's hand tightly, while he quietly stared at the spotless three tablets on the stove. The two smaller ones stand on the left and right, with the words "First test Li Gong Yue Ling", "Xian Yan Gu Shi Yu Yuqin Spirit", and the middle one is the tallest and the oldest, and it is written "First test Li Gong Rong Ling" ......
The next day, when Li Yuan got up comfortably twisting his neck, he found that Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu, who was drunk last night, were no longer in the house. Together with Liu, he was already dressed neatly, and his spirit was obviously better than when he first saw him yesterday, and he was sitting at the table with a smile at this time, as if he had been watching him sleep.
Li Yuan shook his spirits, couldn't help blushing, and said with a smile: "Mother, why don't you sleep for a while, but get up early in the morning!" ”
Without waiting for Liu's answer, the door of the house was quietly pushed open, and I saw Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu, as if they had been waiting at the door.
Liu Jiangsheng was already dressed in a military uniform, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, today belongs to this black guy who got up early, the soldiers and horses have been assembled, and there is nothing to clean up in this house, waiting for you!" ”
Li Yuan was a little surprised, it seems that these brothers, especially this Luo Erhu, are very effective in bringing these soldiers. Hurriedly got up and washed his face, changed his clothes and shoes, and glanced around the room again. I found that except for the three tablets that were put away, there was nothing missing. To be precise, there is basically nothing to bring, and they are all dilapidated.
Luo Erhu found that Li Yuan had been looking around, and hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a little blush: "Big brother, it's really cleaned up!" My mother is reluctant to take those bowls, chopsticks and oil lamps, but I don't want my mother to bring them, what do we want in the big courtyard of Jinling! ”
Li Yuan smiled nonchalantly, then picked up Liu, and said as he walked out of the house: "Erhu, this time the eldest brother has to praise you!" ”
I saw that outside the house, the sergeants of the first battalion and Li Yuan's personal soldiers had lined up and waited quietly.
The villagers of Wangjiazhuang knew that the Liu family was going to Jinling to enjoy the blessings today, and they all gathered outside the house to guard, only after seeing Li Yuan and others, Lao Li was hurriedly tidying up the half-new cloth shirt on his body, trotting forward, and humbly arched his hand and said: "Several adults, the old lady will leave today, and the villain will represent the whole village and the old and young, congratulations to the old lady!" ”
Li Yuan instructed the brothers to help the kind-faced Liu into the sedan chair first, until they saw Liu enter, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and then said coldly to Lao Lizheng: "Wangjiazhuang took in my mother and son back then, and this favor has been repaid yesterday!" Since then, this Wang Jiazhuang has nothing to do with this official! If you dare to go to Jinling in the future, or do anything in the name of the brothers and sisters, you will definitely be in pain! ”
Lao Li Zheng couldn't stand Li Yuan's fright, but he couldn't argue, so he quickly knelt down, bowed his head and said, "The villain remembers!" Since then, Wangjiazhuang has not dared to disturb adults anymore! ”
Witnessing Li Yuan's carriage and horses wandering away, until he was nowhere to be seen, Lao Lizheng got up tremblingly and leisurely with the support of the villagers.
Most people listened to Li Yuan's cruel words, and although their expressions were resentful, they could only swallow it in their stomachs. is not only because of Li Yuan's current power, but also because of how the big guys have treated Liu's mother and son over the years, they naturally know in their hearts.
Li Yuan rode a high-headed horse, looking back from time to time, feeling comfortable and breathing freely. Now that I think about it, everything is going well, the old lady is connected, and now it is her own marriage, I can't wait to quickly put on my wings, fly to Yangzhou, and then fly back to Jinling, and see the lovely person who thinks about it day and night as soon as possible.
Luo Erhu couldn't hold back his curiosity for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, I saw it just now!" Why are you kneeling down there? I also deliberately looked back a few times, and I couldn't get up for half a day! ”
Li Yuan and Liu Jiangsheng looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly at the same time.
Liu Jiangsheng said calmly: "This is a long story! In short, it's not a good thing there, and Zhuangzi is full of bullying and afraid of hard goods, and in the past 20 years, my mother and we have been bullied! Brother Yuan, this is for my mother! ”
Li Yuan lowered his tone and said softly, "Do you remember what Jiang Sheng told you about the widow of the king?" ”
"I know! Is that the woman that the eldest brother peeked at? ”
mentioned this matter again, Li Yuan did not laugh like last time, but said in a deep voice: "That widow Wang is a trick, not only often bullying our mother, but also scolded my mother for being a secret prostitute from a foreign country, giving birth to me and Jiang Sheng, two wild species......"
Luo Erhu was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth angrily: "I joined her ancestor!" ”
Li Yuan continued with a smile: "And that time I didn't peek at her, but I happened to pass by, and I found that she was doing something wrong in the house, and the came to the door with a rake......"
Luo Erhu tugged into the reins in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Big brother, I'll go back and bring those two dog heads to relieve your anger with your mother!" ”
was so shocked that Li Yuan hurriedly stopped: "You black guy is suppressed, Mo Jiaoniang knows!" Shengsheng is going to take someone's head again, if my mother sees it, she can't be scared out of an emergency? Forget about this matter, I have made it clear to me and there, and then I will break off with this Wang Zhuangen! ”
……
The sun rose as usual, and the days of Wangjiazhuang returned to their former calm. On the official road leading to Chuzhou Mansion outside Zhuangzi, what Li Yuan's mother and son left behind in the end were neat strings of horses' hooves and footprints, as well as infinite regret and deep thought by later generations.
