Chapter 73: Family affection is hard to come back to
Inside the Yin Mansion
In Yin Wenjiao's bedroom, Mrs. Yin was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Yin Wenjiao's hand with one hand, and asked her daughter with concern: "Jiao'er, are you better?"
"Mother, thank you for your concern, my daughter is already okay. Yin Wenjiao, who was half-lying, straightened up, and a smile appeared on her thin face.
Old Madam Yin gently patted her daughter's hand: "That's good, that's good!" and carefully looked at her daughter's face, a trace of pity appeared on Old Madam Yin's face, and one hand gently stroked Yin Wenjiao's face: "Jiao'er, you have lost weight." ”
While the mother and daughter were talking, the maid Qiuyue bowed down and reported: "Madam, Miss, the master is back." ”
"Jiao'er, your father is coming back, your mother will go to the front first, you can rest for a while. Old Madam Yin stood up and prepared to go to the front hall.
"Mother, my daughter is fine, and there is nothing to do, so let's go with you. Yin Wenjiao smiled lightly.
"Well, that's fine, hehe. Old Madam Yin smiled.
The mother and daughter walked to the front hall.
A man in a purple flower with a jade belt hook around his waist and an official uniform was already sitting on the main seat of the front hall, only to see that he had thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, a strong figure, his beard and sideburns were gray, but his eyes were bright, his expression was not angry and self-imposing, and he was a person who had been in the top position for a long time at first sight.
"The lord is back. Mrs. Yin greeted with a smile, just like in the past.
Yin Wenjiao pulled up her skirt, stepped forward and bowed, and shouted "Dad" as usual. ”
Yin Kaishan looked at his wife, stroked his white beard and nodded in response. I looked at my daughter Yin Wenjiao again, although the pearl in the palm of the past has been weathered and has become a mother over the years, but at this time, Mantangjiao is still slim and graceful. However, Yin Kaishan's heart is now mixed: just when he was retiring from the dynasty just now, Yin Kaishan saw Huang Shilang and a few colleagues whispering in the back, and when he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, it turned out that he was ridiculing Yin Kaishan's daughter Mantangjiao...... Thinking of Liu Hong's words when he was cut off that day, he lost face in front of many subordinates and onlookers......
At this time, Yin Kaishan, who was holding back his anger, saw his daughter standing in front of him, but it was very unpleasant. However, in front of his wife and everyone, Yin Kaishan couldn't have a seizure, but with his Yin Kaishan's short-tempered temperament, it was not a seizure. Yin Kaishan's face sank at the moment, he put on a straight face, picked up the teacup in his hand, and drank the tea by himself while blowing the tea foam, without saying a word, and ignoring his daughter Yin Wenjiao.
Yin Wenjiao stood there for a moment, a little embarrassed for a while, and didn't understand what happened to her father, who had always spoiled herself, today?
Seeing this, Mrs. Yin was also stunned on the spot, and the family of three was at a loss.
"Master, master!"
A sudden voice broke the silence, and the butler of the Yin Mansion with a goatee shouted excitedly as he stepped over the threshold of the front hall.
Coming to the lord and his wife, the old housekeeper of the Yin Mansion smiled happily and bowed down to report: "Tell the lord, the lady and the eldest lady that the thief Li Biao has been caught." ”
"Oh?" Yin Kaishan put down the teacup in his hand and immediately stood up.
"Hurry up and escort that Li Biao. Yin Kaishan immediately ordered.
"Yes, sir. The housekeeper of the Yin Mansion bowed down to receive the order.
After a while, four sturdy soldiers pushed and shoved all the way, and escorted the bound Li Biao to the front hall.
A soldier stomped on the crook of Li Biao's leg twice with his combat boots, and Li Biao couldn't hold back his legs and involuntarily knelt in front of Yin Kaishan.
Yin Kaishan carried his hands behind his back, looked Li Biao up and down carefully, and saw that his face was haggard, dark and thin, and he was embarrassed to think about these days. Yin Kaishan waved his hand and ordered: "Let this thief Li Biao confess and be detained, and then put on death row, and beheaded the next day!"
"Yes, sir. A leading soldier replied.
Poor Li Biao has just been released from the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, but it is just a momentary effort, and now he has fallen into the cage of Yin Kaishan.
However, at this time, Li Biao's face was expressionless, and he calmly went with the escort soldiers.
Lying on top of many straw mattresses, for some reason, Li Biao now feels extremely down-to-earth, "Finally, I don't have to worry about it anymore." Li Biao sighed and lay down on the straw mattress.
Looking at the narrow iron window above the prison, Li Biao's thoughts drifted to his mother......
At the moment when he was escorted away by the soldiers of Yinfu, Li Biao turned around and shouted at his mother: "Mother! My son is not filial, you old man take care of himself, but you must remember what your son said." ”
"My son, my mother knows. Mother Li, who had fluttering silver hair, was on crutches and shouted after her......
Seeing that several soldiers had escorted their son away, Li's mother trembled and took out a white dragon-shaped jade pendant from her underwear, under the reflection of the sun, this exquisite jade pendant was translucent, without the slightest crack, crystal clear, warm and moist, obviously a piece of high-quality jade. However, at this time, Mother Li didn't care about the value of this jade at all, but thought about what her son said before he was escorted away: "Find Li Shimin, the king of Qin, with this piece of jade, and the prince of Qin will naturally rescue his son." ”
Thinking of this, Li's mother was so anxious to save her son that she couldn't care about her old age and frailty anymore, so she immediately went back to the house to clean up, and went out with a pair of crutches.
After all, they were all in Chang'an City, and it didn't take much effort, so Mother Li found it all the way to the Qin Palace.
When they arrived at the gate of King Qin's mansion, a pair of soldiers guarding the door stopped Mother Li and shouted, "Old woman, what are you doing here?"
"Me, I'm looking for someone?" Li Mu stopped, panting there with a cane.
"Looking for someone?" the two guards glanced at each other, unclear.
"Yes, the old body is looking for someone, and the person I am looking for is called Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Mother Li said loudly.
"Bold! The name of the emperor today is what you old woman dares to shout indiscriminately, this is a great crime of bullying the king!" A guard was shocked when he heard Mother Li's words, and immediately reprimanded Mother Li.
The other guard was also kind, and when he saw that there was no one around, he waved his hand at his companion, signaling that he didn't have to make a noise, and the guard pulled Li Mu to a secluded corner: "I said old man, you are too bold, how can the emperor's name be shouted indiscriminately, this is a big crime to kill the head." ”
"Ah?!" Mother Li was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the person she was looking for turned out to be the current emperor, Long Live Lord.
However, Mother Li was still not at ease, so she asked cautiously and softly: "Then will this Li Shimin have a duplicate name?"
"No, no!" the guard waved his hand. "How can anyone in the world dare to have the same name as the emperor, isn't that because he thinks his life is long?"
"Old man, I see that you are old, it seems that you have never been far away, let me tell you, the emperor was originally the crown prince, and the prince was the king of Qin before the prince. This Qin Wangfu is the mansion where the emperor lived before he ascended the throne. The guard pointed to an empty Qin Palace. "However, the emperor now lives in the palace, and the rest of the Qin palace has long since moved away. ”
"Oh, the old body understands. Mother Li finally understood what was going on, it seemed that this trip was in vain, and she had to go to the palace to find the emperor.
"Thank you, little brother. Mother Li thanked the guard, and then, with the cane, she took trembling steps all the way to the palace......
