It was almost evening, Wei Jiansu sat in the courtyard, drank alone, and looked at the fiery sunset in the sky from time to time, and the sunset became more and more bewitching.

In a few days it will be the New Year's Day, and Datang will enter the fourth year of Zhide in a blink of an eye, it stands to reason that such a deep winter, Chang'an should be covered in silver, and the snow is full of Beijing, but this year is different, just like early autumn, the cool breeze blows on the cheeks, and it is not cold at all.

Rolling thunder came, stirring up lightning out of thin air, like a dead tree that had lost its leaves, and it was terrifying.

Mrs. Li walked up behind him and dressed him: "Go back to your room." ”

Wei Jiansu ignored it, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

Li sat on the stone bench beside him and said, "The concubine went to visit the third sister today, and the porter on King Shou's mansion said that she and King Shou went to Zhuangzi in the south of the city to live temporarily. Now the wilderness is treacherous, and only those who take refuge in the city have never heard of running out of the city to Zhuangzi...... If you want me to say, did her family go to Nanwu Prefecture?"

Wei Jiansu still shook his head and did not speak.

Li Shi said again: "Later, I went to Mrs. Qiu's mansion again, and coincidentally, Mrs. Qiuguo also avoided Beiye in Longshouyuan. ”

Wei Jiansu drank another glass.

Li Shi persuaded: "I heard that the envoy of Nanwu Prefecture has entered Beijing again, can't the husband go and plead? I offended the Taishi back then, what if you let go of your face at this moment? Although you are not in the political affairs hall, you are still the secretary of the military department, and the Taishi can't let our family go, right?"

Wei Jiansu didn't say a word.

Li suddenly burst into tears: "Don't think about yourself, you have to think about the children, it's just a child, Yi'er is only six years old......"

Wei Jiansu said irritably: "Who knows what's going on over there Gu Zuo, the road is sinister, and it may not be possible to do it if you go, what are you talking about!"

Li said: "It's always an opportunity......

After a moment of silence, Wei Jiansu sighed: "I don't know where the commander of Nanwu Prefecture is, it's all rumors, and whether there is such a person or not." ”

Li said: "Go and ask Li Fuguo? Or ask to see Your Majesty? ”

Wei Jiansu said: "Your Majesty has long been out of the court, and I don't see the foreign minister, Li Fuguo...... Don't see me......"

Li Shi asked again: "What about the general?"

Wei Jiansu shook his head: "The building is empty, and it'......s gone."

Li Shi cried bitterly: "Then let's pack our bags, and we will also go to Nanwu Prefecture, okay?"

Wei Jiansu said: "Women's family, what do you know? People didn't invite you, you rushed to go? Do you think you can get in?"

Li cried and said: "I kowtow to the Taishi, I beg him to take us, even if he doesn't let us go, let a few children go......"

Wei saw that Su Huoran got up, glared at Li, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out: "Don't say it!" Seeing that Li didn't speak, just crying, Wei Jiansu sat down again, and after a long time, he said: "I'm Wei's door style, how can there be a person who kneels down for begging? Besides, is begging useful? Don't say it again!"

At dinner time, the family gathered in the hall, and the food did not know the taste - the servants at home had run out, and the meals were all cooked by the Li family themselves. Wei Jiansu finished pulling the rice in a few bites, drank a sip of tea, and taught his three sons earnestly: "Eat quickly, there is not a single grain left in the bowl, you must know that one meal at a time, it is not easy to come by......"

As he was talking, he suddenly looked up at the door of the hall, and saw a monk flying in the courtyard at some point, with two red scarves connected together floating three feet above his head, and the scarves were lifted by the wind, like a mountain bag. The monk tugged at the silk ropes on both sides of the scarf with both hands, and it slowly fell with the strength of the wind blowing in the scarf.

Wei Jiansu saw the novelty, and secretly said What kind of magic weapon is this? Novelty is novelty, and what should be prevented should also be guarded against, the capital is not very peaceful, thieves are swarming, the family was robbed only two days ago, and more than a dozen thieves were killed by Wei Jiansu and his son.

But today's intruder is a Jin Dan, and he is on the same level as Wei Jiansu's cultivation, and he is a fierce rival, so he can't help but treat it carefully. After only a few glances, he felt that the monk in front of him was under a lot of pressure, and his two sons who had entered the cultivation also took out the magic weapons, but they were repelled by Wei Jiansu, and even let the Li family hold the six-year-old third son behind him - this is not a powerful opponent.

"This fellow Daoist, I want to ......" was about to soften and let the other party take whatever he wanted, when he saw a page of the list in the other party's hand, his fingers crossed the list, stopped somewhere, and asked, "But Wei Shangshu Mansion?"

Wei Jiansu's heart moved, and then he jumped wildly: "Yes, Your Excellency is an envoy from Southern Wu?"

The person who came was Qiu Dabo, and he said: "It's Qiu, are you Wei Shangshu Wei Jiansu? ”

Wei Jiansu asked, "Seal, official seal or private seal?"

Qiu Dabo said: "The official seal is the best, no matter what it is, you have to prove that you are Wei Jiansu." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" A burst of chickens and dogs jumped, Wei Jiansu brought a bunch of seals, Qiu Dabo checked it, and confirmed that it was Wei Jiansu himself, so he ordered: "When it is ugly tonight, go to Longshouyuan to report from Yushan Villa, and you must not leak half a point, Wei Shangshu can bring five relatives and friends, not one more, otherwise no invitations will be sent." ”

Wei Jiansu chick nodded like a peck pecking rice: "Understood, understood...... Let's go, Qiu makes ...... go."

Two big red scarves floated up again, hanging Qiu Dabo and flying away, the family looked at each other for a while, the eldest son Wei Wei and the second son Wei Yi jumped up excitedly, and Li hugged his youngest son Li Yi and cried with joy.

Wei Jiansu's eyes were full of tears, and he looked up to the sky and chuckled: "I'll just say, the Taishi hasn't forgotten me, how could the Taishi forget me?"

Li sobbed for a moment, remembered suddenly, turned around and ran into the house: "Hurry up and clean up...... Guy'er, Brother'er, you guys too, don't count the things, throw them all into the storage bag, quick!"

The two and a half children rushed into their respective rooms at a rapid pace and packed up in a panic.

Wei Jiansu's heart was steady, he sat back at the table with a smile, poured himself a drink, remembered something again, and said secretly: "Allow me to take five people? How does the Taishi know that Madame is pregnant again? Isn't this just five people? I can't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back—the Taishi really hasn't forgotten me......

After thinking about it, if the Taishi had malicious intentions, why did he send someone to answer it?

Five people are enough, as for the Wei clan, let him die, and everyone should sweep the snow in front of the door.

Wei Jiansu's family rushed to Ziyu Villa half an hour in advance, and after waiting for a long time, they saw the second family, but it was Li Wei, the son of the late Prime Minister Li Linfu.

After the cold noise, the two sides had nothing to talk about, and they separated and waited for the envoy of Southern Wu. Wei Jiansu still muttered, what are the criteria for the selection of the Taishi? How can even such a person get an invitation?

The eldest son, Wei Qi, reminded him: "Didn't my father see the little lady next to Li Wei? That is Lin Suxian of the Xihe Road Pavilion, a must on the majestic stage, but I didn't expect them to get together." I'm afraid the invitation was given to Mrs. Lin, and Li Wei was brought by her, well, the two next to her are also from the Xihe Road Museum. ”

Wei Jiansu suddenly felt much more refreshed, and turned around and reprimanded Wei Wei: "Bastard! It's not good to study, you know a lot of these nonsense things!"
