Chapter 090: Imperial City Division
"Uncle Liu, Happy New Year!"
"Alas, Happy New Year!"
Liu Baosheng was not very comfortable with Li Kui's greetings. Of course, Li Kui is even more unaccustomed to it. This Great Song Dynasty actually treats the first day of the Lunar New Year as a thing, but treats the Lantern Festival as a New Year, which is simply putting the cart before the horse.
This is why the Lantern Festival is the most lively day of the year.
"Come on, nephew! What else to bring. ”
Liu Baosheng took the box sent by Li Kui with disgust, Li Kui smiled and said: "I don't know what to bring to my uncle, I didn't spend money, it's just an old recipe at home, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
He first told the matter to death, so as not to cause unnecessary embarrassment when he was found to be fake. Liu Baosheng smiled indifferently, but this was before he opened the box, and his eyes suddenly flashed after opening it. Tianbao Food? It should be the era name of the previous dynasty, right? Even if he is a military general, he can't learn anything to the point where he can't do anything, and he won't even be able to tell the old Zhao family's year name.
opened the manual with a strong atmosphere of time, and his eyes were about to pop out: "Virtuous nephew, this is too precious." ”
"It's not a rare thing, and it's not a good thing to use on a daily basis. Looking at some of the effects of self-cultivation, the materials can be exquisite, and it is not a delicacy that poor people like us can bear, and it is different on Uncle Liu's side. Everyone in the world says that the virtuous live there, and Uncle Liu is naturally a virtuous person, and this thing must be prepared for Uncle Liu. ”
Li Kui was embarrassed to say good things, but he didn't expect Liu Baosheng to react so much, and Li Kui felt a little guilty. But gift-giving is a headache in the first place, right?
The other party felt that the purpose was not pure.
If the courtesy is light, right?
Look down on people.
Send money!
Vulgar.
Anyway, the left and right are not pleasing, Liu Baosheng would be easy to do if he was a literati, get some calligraphy and painting or something, and the courtesy will not look thin. But Liu Baosheng is a military general, which makes Li Kui embarrassed. In the end, I gave such a thing that seemed to be true and difficult to distinguish between the fake.
Liu Baosheng was a little frightened, he seemed to think that Li Kui gave him the heirloom, he estimated that if he didn't marry his daughter to Li Kui, would this kid be in a hurry? At the same time, he is also a little proud, he has spent his whole life, read countless people, although there are many times when he knows people unknown, but if it is really a heart-to-heart friendship, a top pride.
How did he know that Li Kui's careful thinking, Fang Zi's thing, looking precious, was written by Li Kui himself, and it had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty court.
Liu Baosheng wanted to retreat several times, but he was afraid that Li Kui would really get off the donkey and take the things back, which would be embarrassing. This is a priceless treasure, he really wants it, but the problem is that the prescription and the medicinal diet are incalculable things, and he can only elevate them to the level of 'heirloom'.
"The old man deserves it, by the way, go and call the young lady out......"
There was a little girl hiding behind the door, Shi Shiran poked her head out, and finally appeared in front of Li Kui. Under the costume, the dim interior seems to have a light and lights up, especially the delicate facial features, giving people a kind of heavenly creation-like delicacy.
"Qingqian, this is your brother of the Li family, help to entertain your father for a while, and your father and your mother have something to say."
After speaking, Liu Baosheng cautiously hugged the box, as carefully as if he was moving a thousand pounds of heavy objects. When Li Kui saw this scene, he felt that he seemed to be a little excessive, of course, the recipes and medicinal food formulas he gave were all true, and most of them were still eaten unless they were eaten as meals, and they would generally never eat anything that caused illness. The recipes are either heat-clearing and detoxifying, most of them contain drugs such as musk and bezoar, or zozhi borneol, and it is also indicated that pregnant women are not fasting. It doesn't get in the way for ordinary people to take the wrong medicine, at most, diarrhea.
Either it's a recipe to nourish blood and qi, and eat too much to get hot.
Not only did he worry about Liu Baosheng hiding at home, eating and making up for it, but he was sick. What really embarrassed him was that Liu Baosheng actually abandoned his daughter and ran away.
What's going on with him?
Blind date?
Isn't it just a blind date?
Liu Qingqian is a child of Dududu...... pouted, looked at Li Kui impatiently, and muttered, "Sycophant." ”
Li Kui was happy, he had heard someone call him the devil, and he also saw him shouting with his eyes so frightened: Second brother spare his life. Anyway, he has always been a hard man like a stone, and suddenly someone calls him 'sycophant', which is funny and funny. When did you become a grovel?
Looking at Liu Qingqian carefully, I have to say that the baby fat has not faded yet, the little daughter of the Liu family, who is pink and green, and her face is slightly immature, is too genetic, she is only more than ten years old, and she has signs of becoming a big beauty, and she is a little beauty embryo.
was looked at by Li Kui directly, Liu Qingqian was aggrieved and embarrassed, this black charcoal is so rude! But even if she is shy and angry, in addition to being cute, I am afraid that there is no second reaction in Li Kui's eyes.
Liu Baosheng, who created evil.
I can't do it!
Blind dates are no strangers to Li Kui, but blind dates with minors?
For the first time in two lives, especially Li Kui's relationship with the Liu family is more of a short-term cooperative relationship. In this case, the marriage must be self-inflicted. The two sat facing each other, Li Kui was getting more and more embarrassed, he didn't know how to open his mouth, and finally made a decision, asking, "What do you think of me?" ”
Liu Qingqian was taken aback, and glared at Li Kui in horror, could this guy be ...... The grievances in my heart poured into my eyes, turned into a cloud of mist, condensed into two teardrops, like a lovely bud under the autumn morning light. But the tone was not so polite, the small mouth of the red lips opened, and he spit out a sentence like fried beans: "I will not marry you if I die!" ”
This guy should be angry.
I'm going to be angry.
Will he beat people, listening to the third sister, Li Kui is the most arrogant.
But Li Kui stared at Liu Qingqian stupidly for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Great, I also have this idea." We thought for a while and went. Coriander! ”
Coriander?
Liu Qingqian was stunned, what the hell is coriander? It can't be that the 'coriander' in his name is 'coriander', right? Isn't it coriander? As the little milk cat looked enraged, she stood up and glared angrily: "Coriander is a small yellow flower, not the coriander you said." ”
"Okay, cilantro!"
Li Kui didn't have any thoughts about Liu Qingqian, he didn't care what Liu Qingqian's name was, besides, what name was easier to remember than coriander?
"You!"
"Forget it, brother, I'm also unlucky, I can't rest at home for this big holiday, and I came all the way to complain. But you are the master, there should always be a landlord's friendship, right? ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Turn around, I haven't been to Linyi City, you won't even be out of the house, right?"
"How is that possible?" When Liu Qingqian heard that he was going to play on the street, he suddenly saw a car in front of him, and the child's anger came and went quickly. Jumping up, he ran to the back house, and dropped a sentence: "I'm going to change my clothes." ”
Li Kui was dumbfounded, this Liu Qingqian is crazy! When you hear that you go out to play, you can be happy like this?
Han Dahu came in a hurry, he saw his wife and sister leaving, and thought that Li Kui had offended Liu Qingqian, so he rushed to ask: "Brother Xian?" What are you? ”
"I just told her to take me out for a walk, and I ran away."
Han Dahu said with relief: "It's okay, she went to change out of the clothes." It's really not convenient to dress up. "Eunuchs, the clothes worn during the festival are as cumbersome as they are. With jewelry, headdresses, and all kinds of decorations, it's like carrying a person out on your back.
In the inner house, Liu Baosheng was carefully looking at the gift sent by Li Kui, but his wife was very dissatisfied: "Is it a poor boy in the mountains who gave such a thing to his first visit?" ”
What Mrs. Liu saw in her eyes was the box sent by Li Kui, but Liu Baosheng stared at the manual sent by Li Kui and did not dare to let go.
"Did I listen to you?"
When Mrs. Liu saw that her husband was not giving up, she was angry.
Liu Baosheng put down the manual and praised one after another: "Heirloom, heirloom!" ”
"He is a poor boy in the mountains, where is there any valuable treasure. I think you've been deceived by him, and I don't know where you got a few pieces of torn paper. Mrs. Liu finally agreed to take Li Kui as the object of her son-in-law's investigation, thinking that if Li Kui had a little eyesight, he would at least eat and wear, wear flowers, and send a lot. Lao Liu's family was tossed by her husband to the point of high debt, and she lacked everything. It is not easy to maintain the dignity of the official eunuchs.
It's really eye-catching, waiting for Li Kui who is rushing to deliver the money.
What I didn't expect was that Li Kui not only didn't send money, but instead sent a new eye-catching box, and what was even more annoying was that there were a few pieces of broken paper in the box, which was treating people as fools!
"You have been deceived for most of your life, and you think you have met a real person, but you see, the son-in-law ......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu lowered her voice: "None of them succeeded, and the daughters could have married a good family......"
"Foolish words, what is a good person. Which son-in-law in the family will not become? It's all the right door. What do women know? "The head of the family was truncated, and Liu Baosheng couldn't pretend to be even if he was kind in front of his wife. Fortunately, no outsiders saw it, otherwise they would have thought that he was a dignified general and afraid of his wife at home.
"Li Kui is a kid in the mountains!" Madame is not a good stubble, countered.
Liu Baosheng sank his face and said: "I will say some things once, don't spread it, Li Kui is not simple, Baizhang Village is not simple, and the Li clan is not simple." ”
"What's not easy?"
"His ancestor is likely to be Li Rui. I checked the local chronicles to find the clues, Baizhang Village is very tight, the speech is not leaky, listen to the truth, but avoid the important and light. The more I thought about it a few days ago, the more wrong it became, how could an ordinary Shence military general be so strong for future generations? I searched all over the Yishui County Chronicles, but I didn't get anything. However, the county chronicles of Linyi County found a clue, when Li Rui, the lieutenant general of the Shence Army, was defeated by the rebels on the Eastern Front, and then disappeared. After more than 100 years, there was no trace of him, and the place where he was defeated was near Mengshan Town. Baizhang Village is likely to be after Li Rui, otherwise there would be no such treasure. "People, are you afraid to guess, guess and guess, and complicate things for no reason?
"How will Zhonglang be better than you?" Mrs. Liu is also unassertive, but Zhonglang will not be set up in this dynasty, how can she know?
Liu Baosheng shook his head and said: "It can't be compared, at least it's a commander." ”
However, Liu Baosheng was not sure whether the recipe sent by Li Kui was useful, and instructed his son-in-law Han Dahu to invite Tong Guan. After all, Tong Guan has been a eunuch for thirty years, and he has been exposed to it in the palace, and his knowledge is much stronger than him.
Tong Guan was already ready to leave, he came, first, to meet Liu Baosheng; The second is that there is no way to deal with the two sons-in-law of the Liu family, so they can only get back through Liu Baosheng. Later, he met the third son-in-law of the Liu family and was disappointed.
Han Dahu's performance is not even as good as the other two waste dim sum, but Liu Baosheng is not bad, at least some responsibility.
Leaving the inn with Sang Hongye and hurried to Liu's house.
As soon as he arrived at Liu's house, Sang Hongye nervously followed up and whispered: "Ah Weng is not good, I saw Shang Ji on the street just now, and there are many people, it should be the people of the Imperial City Division, they are sitting in the tea shop on the corner of the street, and they don't know what to do?" ”
"What is he doing here?" Tong Guan narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed the other party's bad intentions. Shang Ji is the inner yellow door next to Meng Guiren, and his status is not high, but there are already signs of development. Once Meng Guiren is sealed, this cargo will inevitably rise and be in charge of one side in the palace. But the infighting in the palace rarely spreads to the outside of the palace, at least not until the victory is decided. A small steward in the Yellow Gate dared to use the people of the Imperial City Division, this thing broke the rules.
But he didn't think that Shang Ji had the courage to assassinate the imperial court officials, could it be aimed at him?
It's impossible, he's just an inner yellow door, and no one knows about leaving the palace, how can Shang He deploy people in advance?
Tong Guan thought about it for a while and decided: "You find an opportunity to leave through the back door and arrange for our people to secretly come to the edge of the Liu Mansion and wait, just in case." ”
