Chapter 109
Chapter 109
The sun rises unknowingly.Su's mother, Cai's father, and the two elders lived firmly in the hall, and they were casted like mountains by the sunlight passing through the windows.Under the oppression of Wangwu Taixing, Su Qing shook hands in front of the two, her eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and she was as timid as a mouse.But Cai Xiaowen moved those stoves, pots and chopsticks to the kitchen as if he was amnesty, and tidied them up, as if he was too busy to be busy.
The nonsense about liking to do laundry is something Su Qing casually uttered in a hurry.She knew that Mrs. Su would not believe it at all, and she would feel scared only if she believed it.He will only treat her as nonsense and cover up his crime of not returning home at night.
"Where have you been wandering?!" Mrs. Su was really angry.The two big girls didn't come home all night, where they went, where they could go, and what they did, they couldn't think too much.
"What is a wave..." Su Ying still lowered her head, not daring to look at Mrs. Su.Mrs. Su rarely gets angry. Once she gets angry, Su Qing is very afraid, and she has been like this since she was a child.She was glad that she and Cai Xiaowen had hurriedly hid all the clothes and utensils for getting married.After thinking about it urgently in my mind, there should be no trace left.But even so, he was still guilty.Standing in front of her mother with the thought of becoming Cai Xiaowen's daughter-in-law, she still feels guilty. "All kinds... Oh, it's Mrs. Hou's daughter, Hou Zhong'er. Come to eat at home. Because the night was very good, we rented a boat to eat on the river. I accidentally ate a few more drinks. I fell asleep on the boat and just woke up. It's coming back."
"Madam Hou's daughter? Oh oh...but didn't Madam Hou move back to her hometown? Didn't her daughter go with her?"
"Ah! Did you go back to your hometown?" Hou Zhong'er never mentioned the trouble at home, and Su Ying was a little surprised when he heard it.But when she thought about it, Hou Zhong'er and Li Aqiao were obviously living together, and if it wasn't for their parents not being around, they couldn't have come to this point as they wished. "Her family still has property here, and she is taking care of the bathroom in Peach Blossom Forest."
"The Peach Blossom Forest belongs to her family?! I'm so self-defeating, I've played so many cards, and I've never heard of her. Are you afraid that we will find her a monthly subscription card? It's really a humble person who just entered the business world, and only knows how to play cards... "
Seeing that Mrs. Su's attention had turned to a strange place, Master Cai hurriedly opened his mouth to shoulder the responsibility of educating the next generation: "You guys, no matter what, you can't stay home at night. What's wrong with you? The door is also closed. It’s not locked, in case a thief comes.”
"Yes... Uncle Master said that we will never again. Uncle Master, mother, did you just come back?"
"Well." Mrs. Su got up and said, "Seeing that you are not in the shop, I miss you. Let's take a look, the carriage is still waiting outside. You pack up and go to the shop. The shopkeeper Zhao said that there is Jiupin pottery today. Order." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room with Master Cai.
After lowering her eyes and bowing slightly to send them away, Su Ying let out a long breath and slumped to the ground.Cai Xiaowen, who had been pricking up his ears in the kitchen to listen to the movement, poked his head out from the crack of the door, looked around cautiously, and asked with a pinch of his throat, "Going away?"
Su Ying nodded weakly, and waved her hand to summon Cai Xiaowen: "Come and help me."
Cai Xiaowen ran into the room, hugged Su Ying and lifted her up: "Senior Sister, have you dealt with it?"
"Probably...help me change my pants."
"Haha! Sister, stop joking."
"Who's joking with you!" Su Ying looked at Cai Xiaowen's heartless smile, wanting to cry without tears: "I almost peed in fright... Hurry up and cook, let me understand..."
Besides, Mrs. Su and Master Cai walked to the gate of the courtyard.Mrs. Su stopped involuntarily, looked back at the courtyard, frowned slightly and looked up and down at the bamboo house, looking thoughtful.
Master Cai was puzzled, and urged: "You, what's the matter. The carriage has been waiting for a long time."
"I always feel that there is a very strange atmosphere..."
"Strange atmosphere?" Master Cai sniffed, but couldn't smell anything: "Where is it?"
"This warm feeling... It's wonderfully warm... For some reason, I think of my old Su..." Madam Su blushed as she said, she lowered her head and walked quickly to the carriage.Leaving Master Cai behind, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, and all the secret thoughts were squeezed out of his nasal cavity in one word: "Humph!"
Small towns, green mountains and green waters.Even if the beacon smoke of parents and family is ignited, it melts into the sunshine so thinly and silently, kicking off the prelude to a busy day as usual.The capital thousands of miles away is much grander and majestic.Especially the dazzling and mysterious bustling center, where the person on the high chair raised his hands and stomped his feet, which made the society look up.
The more the city is like this, the more it can tolerate all kinds of life.Some people travel with five sedan chairs and passers-by avoid them, some spend a lot of money in business, some people spend a day with a shoulder pole, a bowl of tea and a cigarette bag, and some people paint their eyebrows and lips, and make their debut.Some people write in black and white, and the smell of ink is fragrant.Some people walk around the streets with a container and a jug of wine, and some people spend three or five bucks to find a seat on the corner of the street, waiting for the storytelling and singing drama to be slapped.Some people are destined to climb the Fuyun Ladder and kneel on the silver steps of the Golden Palace...
"My minister, Ouyang Li, sees Your Majesty." Ouyang Li was dressed in official uniform again, and lay prostrate on the ground.
The emperor rolled up the approved memorial, put the vermilion pen on the pen pillow, and while pinching the small purple sand teacup, said quite relaxedly: "Didn't I bestow upon you three years ago that no one can kneel?"
Ouyang Li straightened up, still kneeling, and said with a grin: "I am willing to kneel to you. Kneel to heaven, kneel, kneel to you, kneel to father, this is unavoidable."
"You child..." the emperor smiled and drank the tea in his cup: "In the past three years, mountains and rivers have been abundant, and you have worked hard for me. It is a girl's house, but swords and knives come and go. I always feel that I can't stand you..."
Ouyang Li's eyes were piercing, and there was a flash of light between his words: "Cities big and small, villages and border gates. The ministers are everywhere. I can really see that I am a big Song Dynasty, Wufu and Minfeng, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I will sweep away all foreign enemies and traitors. In exchange for my emperor Worry-free for thousands of years! I am your sword, your knife!"
The emperor was stunned, and then smiled with relief: "You are neither a knife nor a sword, you are just my other daughter. In my heart, you are no different from Fukang. Ah Li, sit by my side."
Only then did Ouyang Li stand up and sit sideways on the steps beside the emperor's feet.The emperor put his hand down on her head and patted it lightly: "You write a letter of official business, don't talk about it here. Let's talk about your private affairs. A few years have passed, and you are no longer a baby. It's time to think about marriage. Your father also In a hurry, I mentioned it to me several times. I always want to choose carefully and choose a good husband-in-law for you. I will choose for you first, and then give the rest to Fukang. Hahaha."
Hearing the emperor's words, Ouyang Li choked out a sigh of relief, quickly recovered, leaned down and said to the emperor, "I'm not in a hurry to get married! I...I just want to stay by your...and the princess... , do your best. Your Majesty wants to marry me off, so you don’t need me!”
"What's the matter! I'm not willing to let you marry far away! You go to visit the world for me and get rid of foreign troubles for me. You are like an eye behind me. You can't lose anything... It's just that marriage is If you delay the things that must be passed in life, your father will not blame me for the rest of my life."
"However, it's too early, I still want to..."
"Okay, it's not so fast. I still have to choose slowly. I...cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Before he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly coughed sharply and couldn't continue.
"Your Majesty!" Ouyang Li got up in a hurry, supported the emperor, wrapped his inner strength with his palms, stroked his back, and let him go.Following this internal breath, the emperor gradually calmed down.He turned his head and saw Ouyang Li's eager expression, so he comforted her with a relaxed expression: "After the holy birthday banquet, I occasionally have chest tightness and cough, it's nothing serious."
"Did Doctor Xuan see it?"
"I've seen it, but I can't tell why. I can explain it for them when I get wind and cold." The emperor sighed lightly, leaned on the back of the chair and coughed twice: "I've been tired these past few years. My health is not as good as before... Don't talk about it, it will make the queen mother worry. Especially Fukang, he has been that temper since he was a child. I have a little illness, and she can't sleep. Come, look, I got a good thing."
The emperor didn't want to talk about it in depth, so Ouyang Li had no choice but to temporarily put aside his worries and follow his instructions.It turned out to be two clay pots, but when they were put together, they turned into one clay pot.It's like holding arms with each other, it fits perfectly and is lively and moving, so exquisite that it is indescribable.
"This is a purple clay teapot called Beauty Shoulder."
"The minister has little talent and little learning, what is purple sand?"
The emperor smiled smugly and asked Ouyang Li to touch it.She carefully picked up the dark pot, touched it carefully, and said with amazement: "That's it. I think it looks different from ordinary pottery pots. It's really a novelty, and it's so delicate. This one Look, I know why it is called "beauty's shoulders" and it is very appropriate." Putting it back carefully, the two pots were immediately snapped together without any embarrassment.
"The masters are among the folks. They are better than the craftsmen in the palace." The emperor touched the bodies of the two pots and stroked them back and forth: "It is said that the purple sand needs to be touched, and the more you touch it, the brighter it will be." Until he got this Behind the shoulders of the beauty as a birthday gift, the pot is almost inseparable from her body, and she can't put it down.Seeing the two pots that are tightly interlocking and supporting each other, and seeing Ouyang Li next to him, he couldn't help feeling: If A Li has been supporting Fukang, I will be half at ease...
But the emperor didn't say what was in his heart, just patted Ouyang Li's head, and said with a smile: "Daughter has made meritorious service, and father also wants to reward it. It's just that you were in the Zhuque Tower before, so it's not easy to reward the official position. I will arrange it for you I have a vacant position, stay in the court, and directly obey my orders. In addition, there are five hundred pieces of gold and one hundred bolts of silk and satin, which have been sent to Ouyang Mansion. I also have a special gift for you at the Martial Arts Academy. After you go and get it, it will be You're on vacation. Rest well until I ask you to be busy again."
Ouyang Li kowtowed and left.After leaving the palace, I went straight to the Martial Arts Academy, which is located at the outermost edge of the palace courtyard.She was going to receive the mysterious gift given to her by the emperor, and by the way, pick up the knife that she left there according to the rules before entering the inner hall.As soon as the courtyard door was pushed open, the pace was only halfway.Then there is a silver light rushing towards the face!Ouyang Li continued to walk, and with a pinch of his hand, the menacing silver needle stopped on the tip of his nose, and he shot back without hesitation, stopping the long knife that was coming at him.Then the two sleeves were swung out alternately, and the sleeves stretched out, holding the two wrists on the side of the sneak attack, and with a little luck, the two long swords clanged to the ground.
Snapped!At this time, the step that Ouyang Li took was a solid step on the brick floor, and all the attacks coming towards her were restrained and remained motionless.
"It's against you." Ouyang Li withdrew his hands and stood with folded arms, pretending to be angry.
At this time, the four people who attacked her put away their fangs and claws just now, clasped their fists and bowed, and saluted politely: "Lord Ou!"
"How many times have I said it! It's Lord Ouyang!"
"Okay, Master Ou!"
"You guys... come here, I can't beat you to death! Pfft..." Ouyang Li finally couldn't hold back his face, and covered his mouth with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Seeing her smile, the four of them immediately relaxed and laughed together.After making routine jokes, the four of them walked up to Ouyang and saluted again: "Captain! Here we come."
Ouyang Li looked at the three women and one man one by one, and punched each of them: "Southeast, north, south, so the gift is from you. It is a serious crime to wield swords in the palace. Haven't you learned the rules?"
"It's Adong who said we haven't seen each other for a few months. Let's see if your martial arts have deteriorated, Captain. Nannan and Xiaobei also made a fuss, but I have always opposed it." The girl with the ponytail immediately sold her teammate, but Ouyang Li ruthlessly exposed it . "Xi, you were the one who hit the hardest just now, the silver needles were all aimed at my nose."
"That's right, the captain knows the truth." The round-faced Nan Nan and the long-haired Xiao Bei were on Ouyang Li's side, their fawning eyes were about to overflow with tears.The only man named A Dong kept giggling.The names of these four people are also called Southeast, North, and South.
"By the way, why are you here?"
Xi picked up the two long swords that fell to the ground, returned them to Bei Nan, and replied: "Three days after you left the Zhuque Tower, we received a transfer order. Call out the Zhuque Tower, let us come to the capital, and still belong to you. We will not I know why... maybe because no one dared to take care of our four prickly heads, so I threw it to you again hahaha."
A Dong nodded in agreement: "Hey, no one wants me except you." A Dong injured his head during a mission last year, and he was no longer fit to stay in the Zhuque Tower. It was Ouyang Li who refused to abandon him. People moved his position, and finally kept his due salary and generous injury allowance.
That's why the emperor arranged it like this... Ouyang Li understood the emperor's intention when he saw these four people, which was to let her use the most direct subordinates to reorganize a small team.The number of personnel is kept to a minimum, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts, so they can do things conveniently.It seems that the future tasks will not be much worse than that of Suzaku Building.
"Okay, okay. You are really brown candy, you can't even shake it off. How about this, you don't live in the public house sent by the imperial court. I will find you a yard in the capital, and you can live comfortably."
"All according to the captain's arrangement."
"Then come with me. By the way, don't call me the captain in the future, just call me your lord."
"No."
"...I'll ask His Majesty later, can you go back to Suzaku Tower..."
"Don't be angry! Oh, big, man."
"...I'll ask now!"
"Captain, your clothes are really strange."
"This is an official uniform! You semi-literate people!"
The five of them laughed all the way out of the Martial Arts Academy and walked on the path to the palace.After turning around, Ouyang Li found that at the other end of the path, a white figure was approaching towards him with a large stack of official documents in his arms.Ouyang Li stopped immediately, waiting for the man to come.Seeing that she would not leave, the people in the southeast and northwest did not ask whether she would leave, and stood behind her in twos and twos.
The man was also taken aback when he saw her, and after stopping for a moment, he gradually approached until the two faced each other.The small road that can only allow two people to pass side by side is really a narrow road.
"An'an, where are you going?"
The author has something to say:
Merry Christmas everyone!
Because I have Christmas leave, I sincerely wish you all a Merry Christmas!
It's only been a little bit more this year, and I'm really sorry.Because this year is very busy, I don't know how to write when there are too many things.Apologies to everyone.Strive for a little more during the Christmas break, and strive for completion, but I can't guarantee it.
There is one thing I want to explain to everyone.From here, the story will turn to the second wave, and the role of the princess will also increase.Due to the development of the plot, there may be some changes in the painting style compared with before.Those who don't like to watch abuse, but only like to watch the children's shoes of the little days of farming, or those who don't like the line of princesses, in fact, you don't have to read it, and just watch the ending when it's over.
Once again, I wish you all a happy tonight~
