Li Jun was dressed in the royal forest general's uniform, walked towards the gate of the mansion, saw the small man guarding the door outside the door, the holy order was executed, and said solemnly: "I am the commander of the imperial forest, according to His Majesty's holy decree, the cooperative army is here, dare to ask where the county lord is?"

The little guy was shocked, he didn't think that the Imperial Forest Commander would ask where the county lord was, Li Jun saw that the little guy was speechless, and roared coldly: "Bold, dare to refuse to reply to the order." ”

The little guy replied in a panic: "The commander of the army spares his life, the county lord left Beijing two months ago, and he has not returned yet." Li Jun said: "In this case, we still need to go into the house to ask Mrs. Liyang, please get out of the way." ”

The little guy couldn't help but avoid it sideways, Li Jun walked towards the mansion, followed by more than a dozen soldiers, and entered the mansion together.

More than a dozen people made a secret sound, went straight to the front hall of the mansion, and entered the hall, only to see Liyang sitting on a carved chair in light clothes.

Li Jun waved his hand and hung in the air, signaled the soldiers behind him to wait outside the door, walked forward alone, and after approaching Liyang, he hugged Li and said on his knees: "The last general, Li Jun, please be happy with Mrs. Liyang." ”

Liyang put down the cup in his hand, raised his hand and said: "Li Tongjun doesn't have to make this big gift, I have now entered the Zhao Mansion as a wife, and all false gifts can be waived." ”

Li Jun got up and said, "I am here to invite the county lord to enter the palace to face the saint." Liyang said: "The county lord has been out for a long time, and he will be able to return to Beijing in a few days." Li Jun said: "The saint ordered that if you don't see the county lord at the time, all the cadres in the house will be taken into custody." ”

Liyang was not shocked, but his face was full of anger: "The Holy Lord really gave such an order? Li Tongjun, don't you make a false announcement of the Holy Order." Emperor Li Jun issued an order, stood up and said: "I am the Son of Heaven with the army, how dare I deceive the king." ”

After saying that, he turned around and took it away, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and said: "Mrs. Liyang, you still have three hours, and the palace has been surrounded by the Royal Forest Army." ”

Liyang was furious, stood up and sneered: "You can't do it when I harbor the little girl!"

Li Jun didn't say a word and left, and the Imperial Forest Army followed him, and went out of the courtyard to the door of Defu, and stood still in front of the door, just waiting for the unitary time.

A group of people stood in front of the mansion early, pointing at Bianyang Mansion, and even the slightest scolding could be heard.

Li Jun was irritable and ordered the sergeant to dismiss him, and the waves dispersed and the waves returned, and the streets of the capital were congested for a while.

Zhao Li rode out of Yudi Town on a starry night, and on the way the torrential rain fell like pear blossoms, the thunder was rolling, the weather was extremely bad, and the roads were muddy.

Zhao Li returned to Beijing eagerly, regardless of others, braved the rain to move forward, this day was a rain shower, Zhao Li hated to snatch out, angry that God was unfair to prevent him from returning to the capital, a quagmire ahead, Zhao Li wanted to ride a horse, the sound of the horse seemed to be unwilling to continue, Zhao Li raised the whip and struck.

Trying to do this muddy road, half of the horse's hooves fell into the quagmire, the horse fell to the ground, Zhao Li fell into the mud, covered in muddy water, his clothes and hair were full of mud, the long sword was stuck in the ground, Zhao Li held the hilt of the sword, hated loudly, scolded the sky, but only let the thunder be louder, and the turmoil was more fierce.

Seeing that the handsome horse was difficult to move, he felt pity, thinking that it was because he was eager to save his mother, so that he lost his sight, and held the horse's head at the moment and tried his best to help him up, and the horse's body was stable and let out a long roar, as if he secretly blamed Zhao Li for being stupid, Zhao Li was amused by it, and pulled the horse away from Tan.

A man and a horse are covered with mud, walking in the rainstorm like dead ashes, the rainstorm comes and goes in a hurry, from time to time the sky is clear and the clouds are scattered in the twilight, Zhao Li led the horse to stop at the entrance of a village.

Tianshui stopped, every family went out to find a living, seeing a person and a horse, covered in mud, immediately frightened, an old woman took a closer look, approached a little light: "Where does the girl come from, where are you going, how is this dress so muddy water?" Zhao Liwen responded: "I want to return to my hometown, but the rain is continuous, and the horse is unstable and falls to the ground, so I look like this." ”

The brown horse next to him stomped a few hooves, as if he was dissatisfied with Zhao Li's false report of the horse, Zhao Li turned around and glanced at the brown horse, and the brown horse made up his own hooves.

The old woman hurriedly took Zhao Li's cold hand and pulled her to the village, and said while pulling: "The girl's clothes are all wet, hurry up and go back to the house with the old body, the old body does not have a few sets of good clothes, the girl quickly changed it, if you catch a cold and get sick, your father and mother must not die of distress." ”

Zhao Li heard the word "father and mother", tears swirled under the wet forehead, and the grievances in the stomach welled up in their hearts, and the farmers in the village saw that Zhao Li was led by the old woman, and they all came over and whispered greetings, Zhao Li was tightened for a while, and the old woman shouted at those people: "You go to work one by one, this girl is tired and wet like this, let her rest first." ”

The village farmers no longer condoled, carrying the hoe out of the village to farm, Zhao Li saw that everyone was busy, and she was born with feelings, she wanted to live like this, and she didn't have to worry about worrying and worrying about it.

After following the old woman around a few corners, she entered a grass hut, Zhao Li tied the reins of the brown horse to a wooden stake, and entered the house with the old woman.

The old woman took Zhao Li into the inner room, took out a set of coarse gray clothes from the wooden cabinet and handed it to Zhao Li, Zhao Li took the coarse clothes, and the old woman apologized: "The old man is poor and weak, there are no suitable clothes for the girl in the house, only this old clothes in hand, that is still when my wife is there, go to the village and ask someone to make it for me, and the girl will be some." Zhao Li put the clothes on the couch after hearing this, and said in a loud voice: "This dress is my mother-in-law's favorite thing, how can I wear it?" The old woman smiled: "The old people have passed away, wouldn't it be bad to keep the clothes and not wear them, the girl only uses it, and the old body goes to cook for the girl." ”

After that, he went out of the house, closed the curtains, and went to the stove to cook.

Zhao Li changed clothes in the house, walked out of the house in a coarse dress, wrung out the soaked red clothes, hung them on the clothes pole outside the house, went back to the house and smelled a smell of rice, and immediately called out his belly, and walked into the stove room, the stove rice was ready, and a few bowls of side dishes were also covered with a cover.

Zhao Li lifted the wooden cover, and there were home-cooked side dishes inside, braised eggplant, stir-fried bean shoots, stuffy potato chips, and boiled eggs with tomatoes.

When Zhao Li was in Beijing, he ate meat every day, fish, meat, crab and shrimp were all available, during the tour of the south, although the dishes changed greatly, every time he went to the restaurant, the dishes were all meat, and he was connected to Ye Yunzui Pavilion, which was also full of fish and meat.

Only in the forbidden cave, a few days with Xu Qing, I tasted some of Xu Qing's craftsmanship, and even the green peppers and bean sprouts in the vegetable garden were exceptionally delicious.

I haven't tasted this charm since, and now I see the food made by this peasant woman, and its fragrance is unique.

Zhao Li couldn't help but put a potato slice in his mouth with his little hand, and his face was suddenly happy, as if he was enjoying it like a delicious taste in the world.

The old woman came over and said with a smile: "The girl eats generously, this place will not be better than what the girl usually eats, and I hope the girl will not mind." Zhao Li put down the wooden cover and smiled childishly: "Mother-in-law's food is so fragrant, I haven't seen this taste for a long time, and today can be regarded as a feast." The old woman laughed and said, "Look at what the girl said, this is like a delicacy from the mountains and the sea." Zhao Li pointed and praised: "Mother-in-law's cooking is not as good as mountain treasures, but better than mountain treasures." ”

The old woman's yellow teeth were exposed, and she lowered her head and covered her face and said, "Your female doll mouth is really funny, come, let's eat it generously." ”

While talking and lifting the wooden cover, Zhao Li hurriedly brought out the hot dishes, the old woman also served a few bowls, the two walked to the wooden table in the outhouse and sat down, the old woman took two pairs of wooden chopsticks and handed Zhao Li a pair, Zhao Li took it, and put a piece of eggplant in her mouth on the spot.

After chewing it, I sandwiched a tomato to eat, and the old woman smiled and refused: "Girl, slow down, and no one is grabbing food from you, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Li grinned and said: "It's not that my mother-in-law's food is too fragrant, and this girl can't bear it." ”

I picked up the potato pieces again, swallowed them with the rice, and was eating Shangxingtou, when I saw the old woman stop her chopsticks, her eyes measuring herself up and down, and she wondered: "Why doesn't my mother-in-law eat it, is it that I have some rice on my face?" The old woman didn't say a word, suddenly seemed to wake up, and looked at Zhao Li with a smile and said:" Girl, you put on this coarse cloth shirt, it really looks like the old body, remember when the husband was still alive, I often put on this dress he gave me, as soon as he saw me wearing this shirt, he was as happy as a child, now he is gone, the old body put this dress in the wooden cabinet, for decades have not been worn, only often take it out to see, when I am idle, I will also soak this coarse clothes a little in water, now I see you wearing it, but I really miss the old days. ”

The old tears squeezed into his eyes, wiped them off with his sleeves, and chuckled with yellow teeth: "Girl, my husband told me back then that he asked someone to make this dress for me, in fact, I already knew that he sewed it for me with his own hands, in fact, his embroidery is too poor, I can see the thorns on his hands." ”

Zhao Li couldn't bear the tears in her eyes when she heard this, and only comforted: "Mother-in-law, your husband must be a good husband." ”

The old woman frowned and smiled, and said, "Eh, it's old..... People are gone, and it doesn't matter if it's good or not. Then he pointed to the food on the table and said, "Girl, eat quickly, it's not good if it's cold." ”

Zhao Li continued to eat herself with chopsticks, eating the meal and looking at the old woman with fine lines on her face, her mind was full of the shadow of Ye Yun's back mountain, thinking about it, she pounded the wooden bowl with chopsticks, thinking that there must be no more worries, and the current major event has not been completed, so you can't take care of it.

After eating, I put the dishes and chopsticks in the stove room, ran outside to get a bucket of well water, went into the stove room to clean the dishes and chopsticks, and walked out of the house to stretch my waist and rejuvenate my body.

Counting the time, I want to come for a long time, and now I have entered the boundary of Tianjin and Henan, not far from Beijing, and there are only five days left to be the March limit, Zhao Li thought that it was better to return to Beijing as soon as possible to avoid death.

So he asked the old woman for some beans and wheat, put them in a pot, put them under the horse's mouth, and put a pot of water next to them, and the brown horse was busy eating beans and wheat and drinking some water.

The old woman looked at it from the side, and said kindly: "The girl might as well stay here for a little longer, see the girl is quite tired." ”

Zhao Li smiled at the old woman and refused: "Mother-in-law, forgive me, I have important things at home that need to be done quickly, my mother-in-law is here alone, when I go home and settle everything, I will come to pick up my mother-in-law to live in my house, I will treat my mother-in-law as good as a relative, what do you think, mother-in-law?"

The old woman frowned and smiled, held the wooden cane and looked at the sky, pointed to the old grass house, and only said: "I am nearly half a hundred years old, and the only thing I can read in this world is this grass house that has accompanied me for decades. Zhao Li said with tears: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, when I finish my work, I will definitely come here to thank you." ”
