Chapter 24: Brother Tree Grows Up
The people entered the holy capital city from the Qixia Gate in the south, and went all the way up to the north, each returning to his own home.
Along the way, the houses are lined up, the streets and alleys are full of traffic, and the magnificent and vast urban atmosphere is like a huge volume slowly spreading out, which is showing in front of you.
Seeing this magnificent scene of the world full of fireworks, Li Yu and Xue An were both relaxed and happy, and they had a feeling of returning to the world and rejuvenating.
"Drive, drive!"
The two rode their horses and galloped, and finally came to Xuanyangfang near the imperial city, and returned to the Wu'an Hou Mansion from the small gate that opened on the south side of the fang.
Menzi saw them coming back from afar, and hurriedly informed the steward, and in a short time a servant from the special chamber came to take the horses away, and the servants came to serve them.
The steward in brocade came close and said anxiously: "My little ancestor, you have finally returned, Madame asked about your whereabouts last night, but there was no news until midnight, but I was in a hurry." ”
Li Yu said: "You first send someone to tell my mother that I have returned, and then go to the backyard to ask for guilt after I wash and change clothes." ”
After speaking, he didn't care about him, and went straight to the east courtyard where he lived.
"Childe!"
As soon as I stepped into the inner door of the east courtyard, I heard a few exclamations, and the women such as Shuyu, Shuyun, Yushu, Hongyu, Mei'er, and Li'er greeted them.
These are all the maids and maids of the East Courtyard under the name of Li Yu, all of them are pink and beautiful, hanging hairpins, or bright and generous, or pretty and lovely, each with its own style.
Li Yu said to the two people in front of him: "My son wants to bathe and change his clothes, and wash away the bad luck on his body." ”
Shuyu was surprised and said, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”
Li Yu waved his hand, didn't bother to explain, just handed them the package he brought back, and instructed: "Put away this thing first, don't ask more, and don't open it to see." ”
Soon after, Li Yu lay in the bathtub and breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's alive, it's alive.
Behind him is the beautiful maid Ruyue serving, she is smeared with a pair of soft wattles with perfume, and she is scrubbing on him lightly and heavily.
Ruyue said softly: "Childe, you look tired, what did you do last night?" ”
Li Yu said: "What, you're still judging my son?" ”
Ruyue chirped: "The slave family is too lazy to take care of it, and the left and right are with the Marquis of Anding, and a few sons from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion go out to spend all day drinking, and they don't even say hello to the mansion." ”
Li Yu laughed, grabbed her Rou Yi and said, "No matter what, you still have to find out so clearly!" ”
Ruyue said angrily: "Madam is angry, and she is about to ask you." ”
When Li Yu heard this, his smile disappeared, and he rubbed his forehead with a headache.
"Alas, didn't they all say that my son has grown up, don't worry about it."
Ruyue said: "Rong slave and maid are too talkative, in the eyes of a mother, no matter how old her son is, how can she really take it seriously?" ”
Li Yu shook his head and closed his eyes in thought.
He has fallen into a honey pot in this life, and has enjoyed glory and wealth since he was a child.
But with these benefits, you will inevitably take on the corresponding things.
Let's say, filial piety.
Although the lady Xiao Qingyue in the backyard is not his biological mother, she is the second lady of the Marquis of Jingning, who married in after her stepsister and became a continuation, no matter from the perspective of kinship or feudal etiquette, she is no different from her real mother.
Even emotionally, she poured all her heart and soul into Li Yu, comparing her heart to her heart, Li Yu really had no way to disobey.
But the mother's side is actually good to say, even if it is a headache, it is just a short lecture from some parents.
Trouble is trouble, but it can't interfere with his freedom.
Li Yu has the soul of a modern person, and since he was a child, he has regarded those preaching as the wind in his ears, blindly doing his own thing, and he doesn't see what his mother does to him.
Father Wu Anhou's side is the real key!
Li Yu was a little embarrassed, should he have a showdown with him?
What if he puts on his father's shelf, wants to enforce family law, and forcibly sways his choices?
Daqian is not a place to talk about respect and personality, especially when Lao Tzu disciplines his son.
Li Yu was afraid that after Xue An reported last night's incident, Marquis Wu An would order to seize his treasure, ban his feet, and completely cut off his opportunity to continue to pursue the treacherous.
With his current capital, let alone resist, there is no place to redress his grievances.
Such a father is not much better than the treacherous rules, and he is completely unable to resist.
With such worries, Li Yu changed into clean clothes after taking a shower and immediately went to the backyard.
The grandparents in this life have long passed away, and in the Hou Mansion, the only one who can persuade the father is the mother, and he must be coaxed.
Xiao Qingyue is an aristocratic woman with extremely outstanding appearance, it is said that she is nine points similar to Li Yu's late mother, and Li Yu's own appearance is also somewhat handsome.
Xiao Qingyue was born rich and pampered, she is in her early forties, and she is still as well maintained as the year of Hua Xin, and she looks like Li Yu's sister.
At this moment, sitting at the top of the hall, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, and he has an indescribable sorrow.
Several concubines of Wu'anhou stood beside them and set rules, as if they had just been trained by Chiyu, all of them lowered their eyebrows and looked good, and they couldn't see any expressions.
Li Yu smiled when he saw him, and said, "The child has asked his mother to say goodbye." ”
Xiao Qingyue looked at Li Yu, and raised her willow eyebrows: "Brother Shu, you have grown up!" ”
Brother Shu is Li Yu's nickname, but there are few in the Hou Mansion who are qualified to call it that, so it has become the most commonly used title for stepmothers.
Li Yu hurriedly said: "Why did my mother say this? ”
Xiao Qingyue said: "You have already learned not to go home at night, and you still don't have a breath?" ”
Li Yu said: "There is another inside story in this matter, let the child report to his father and then talk to you in detail." ”
Xiao Qingyue was suspicious: "No matter what, you must notify the government in time." ”
Li Yu said: "I forgot, I just forgot about it." And I didn't go out to fool around with the sons of the other mansions, and I would never do anything illegal and undisciplined, so my mother put 10,000 hearts at ease. ”
Xiao Qingyue chirped: "I don't care if you violate the law or not, the most important thing outside is to protect yourself."
In those places like Goolan Washe, a lot of people are staring at the pit of your boys, five stone scatters, pickled things like flower willow diseases, and there are rabbit masters, if you touch a little, you can be careful of your skin! ”
Li Yu said: "That's something that will never be touched." ”
Xiao Qingyue's face was a little pale, and she said seriously: "Brother Shu, now that you have grown up, I won't stop you from saying that you are not allowed to spend the night outside, why are you so lacking in heart and eyes, and you don't even leave a message." And those subordinates who follow them are really, all of them have elm heads, and they are not a little clever. ”
"Yes, yes, the mother is right, the child is wrong, promise to return it next time...... No, there is no next time. ”
After a while, Li Yu came out of the hall and breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, it was really easy to coax Xiao Qingyue.
But the real test is yet to come.
Sure enough, at noon that day, Wu'an Hou Li Xin returned home and immediately summoned Li Yu to the study for questioning.
Li Yu knew that he couldn't escape this encounter, so he went with a heart of reasoning, but unexpectedly found that Li Xin's face was not gloomy, and some were just calm.
