Chapter Twenty-Three: Han Ending
Li Keshi, the younger brother of Li Yaoshi, the governor of Youzhou, the prince of Danyang County, was an important minister of Emperor Taizong.
Li Yaoshi is Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Keshi's status is naturally visible. After Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, Li Keshi became a master. It stands to reason that although he was over seventy years old, he was in good health, and his ears and eyes were clear. The ability to hold a bow and hunt horses, and the power to fight lions and tigers, can be called a contemporary Lianpo. No one expected that he would resign.
After resigning, Li Keshi lived outside Chang'an City, in Chinan, Kunming.
According to him, the reason for his resignation was because his brother Li Jing passed away, which made him very sad and could not bear to live in Chang'an anymore.
Li Zhi had persuaded him, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang had also persuaded him, but Li Keshi was resolute.
"How do I remember that there are only four sons under the knee of Li Jungong, and there is no one like Li Dayong?"
"Li Dayong is the youngest son of Li Jungong, it is said that he can pass ghosts and gods since he was a child, and his body is weak and he almost died. Later, Li Weigong came up with an idea and sent him to Emei Mountain. It wasn't until he was in his twenties that he returned to Chang'an, and then he became a thousand cows.
I've heard people say that Li Dayong has a strange temperament and doesn't like to interact with people very much.
Even if he has four brothers, they are not close to him, so there are only a handful of people in Beijing who know his origins. ”
Pei Xingjian fooled Di Renjie about this kind of thing.
After asking Pei Xingjian, Di Renjie returned to Su Dawei's side, "Ami, rest assured, the county will get back the sword and crossbow for you, you don't have to worry." It's getting late, so go back first. Tell Hong Liang that I will stay at the county government tonight. ”
"Then I'll go first!"
"Wait."
Pei Xingjian suddenly shouted to Su Dawei again, and took out a waist card for him.
"If you just followed Yang Yizhi, it would be fine, now you go out alone, wear a waist card, so as not to be misunderstood by Jin Wuwei."
"Thank you, county."
Su Dawei bowed down and took the waist card and exited the gate of the public hall.
The waist card that Pei Xingjian gave him was a little weird, pale gold, and there was a slight warmth in his hand.
Su Dawei hung the waist card on his waist and strode away from Jin Wuwei.
By this time, it was completely dark. The doors of each square have been closed, and Chang'an Avenue has become extremely deserted.
Walking alone on such a deserted street, it is inevitable that you will feel fear.
Fortunately, there were a lot more Jin Wuwei patrolling in Chang'an tonight than in the past, and along the way, he met six teams of Jin Wuwei. Every time you meet Jin Wuwei, you have to check the waist card once. Su Dawei felt that those Jin Wuwei's eyes looking at him always showed a trace of weirdness. It's just that he didn't know the reason, so he could only smile at Jin Wuwei.
Back at Chongde Fang, it was already the middle of the night.
Su Dawei opened the door with a waist card, and finally entered it smoothly.
Compared with the desertion on Chang'an Avenue, the streets in Lifang are much more lively.
Some restaurants on the street are still open, although they are not fanfare, but they can be vaguely heard, and the sound of silk and bamboo comes from inside.
Fuddle?
Probably not.
It's just that the hearts of this Chang'an people are really big, so big things happen in Guiyifang during the day, and there are still people who come out in the middle of the night to have fun?
Or ......
Su Dawei suddenly thought of a possibility.
He immediately put aside these distractions and hurried back to Jidu Lane.
Liu Niangzi did not rest, and Hong Liang did not sleep, but accompanied Liu Niangzi to talk in the small courtyard.
Hei Saburo's barking interrupted the conversation between the two, and Liu Niangzi looked up and saw Su Dawei walking in.
"Ami, you're back!"
When Liu Niangzi saw Su Dawei, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Liang stepped forward and said, "Ami, why can't I see my Langjun?" ”
"The eldest brother has gone to the county office, and he asked me to tell you that he will stay at the county government tonight, so you don't have to worry."
"That's good!"
Hong Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Su Dawei and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
"Big lady, since Ami is back, then I'll go to sleep first."
"Okay, let's go and rest."
Liu Niangzi watched Hong Liang go back to the house, and then pulled Su Dawei, looked up and down, and said, "Have you had dinner?" ”
"Not yet, from noon to now, I haven't eaten at all, and I'm about to starve to death."
"My mother left you a cooking cake, you eat some to cushion your stomach first, and tomorrow your mother will make something to eat for you."
"Good!"
Liu Niangzi entered the kitchen to be busy, while Su Dawei closed the courtyard door.
He patted Kurosaburo on the head, then washed his hands, went back to the house, changed his clothes, and returned to the main hall.
On the table were a basket of cooking cakes, a plate of bacon, a bowl of hot noodle soup, and two plates of pickled side dishes.
"Mother, I can't eat so much."
"Eat as much as you can."
Liu Niangzi sat down on the side and looked at Su Dawei.
Su Dawei was not polite, and he sat down to gobble up.
"Mother, what are you looking at me for?"
"Ami, my mother heard from people...... Did you hit an evil spot over there today? Did you come back so late because of this? ”
"What's the evil thing, it's just someone pretending to be a ghost."
"Isn't it a collision?"
"Of course not, I was there."
Liu Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll just say, how dare the evil cult haunt in broad daylight?" ”
They dare to haunt them!
"Mother, what did you hear?"
"I've heard Fang Zheng say that someone is pretending to be a ghost.
But there are some long-tongued women, not to say that they are in conflict with evil spirits...... Let me tell you, Widow Cui on the opposite side of Daode Alley, talking nonsense all day long.
By the way, speaking of Widow Cui, my mother remembered one thing.
Although the long-tongued woman said that she was a broken mouth, she was not wrong in what she said.
Ami, you're eighteen, and it's time to find you a relative. Do you have anyone to love? If it is suitable, my mother will help you find a matchmaker to say. ”
These words turned too fast, and almost flashed Su Dawei's old waist.
He was drinking the noodle soup and choked on it.
"Mother, you said it, I'm only eighteen, and I'm not an adult yet."
Tang Dynasty, twenty adults.
Of course, most of the time, a man can be considered an adult at fourteen or sixteen. The key to this kind of thing still depends on family background. The children of poor families have long been in charge, and it is not surprising that Su Dawei began to be a bad person at the age of eighteen.
But as far as Tang Law is concerned, Su Dawei at this time is a teenager.
"Why are you not an adult, you have been on an errand for almost a year! In two months, you'll be nineteen, and it's time to get a wife. ”
"Mother, I haven't thought about this yet."
"I know you didn't think about it, but my mother has to think about it.
Your dead ghost daddy doesn't know where to bury him now, and if he's at home, my mother won't worry about these things. But your father is gone, and your mother has to plan for you. Got married early and had children, and my mother could rest assured. ”
In his previous life, Su Dawei had never encountered such a thing.
But he had heard from his friends about the tragic situation of being urged to marry, so he had always been curious.
Now, he finally realized it!
But I'm only eighteen years old, I'm still a child, and I haven't made waves yet, so you let me get married and have children?
Su Dawei can understand Liu Niangzi's hard work, but he can't accept it.
"Mother, this matter is in a hurry.
I will pay attention in the future, and if there is anyone who cares, I will tell you. ”
"When will that be?" Liu Niangzi's attitude was very resolute, and she suppressed Su Dawei's careful thinking without mercy.
"Don't worry about this, I'll go to Widow Cui tomorrow.
The long-tongued woman's mouth was broken, but it was still reliable. I asked her if she had a good match. ”
Can't be provoked, can't be provoked!
You say that she is a woman with a long tongue, and she turns her head and asks someone for help?
Su Dawei couldn't cry or laugh, drank the noodle soup in two bites, and then stood up.
"Mother, I'm done eating."
"When you're done eating, go wash and go to sleep.
I'll clean it up here, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Liu Niangzi looked disgusted and drove Su Dawei away.
Su Dawei was not polite, first went to the well to fetch a basin of water, rinsed it, and then changed into dry clothes and went back to the house.
In those days, there were no baths.
If you want to take a hot bath, you have to make a fire to boil water, and you must not trouble the old lady.
But it's always a cool shower...... It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's just a little uncomfortable. When can I take a bath at home?
Su Dawei is a little nostalgic for the days of bathing in his previous life.
There are some things that can only be appreciated after they are lost.
No, I have to work hard to get a hot shower...... Just, what should I do?
Su Dawei returned to the house, lay on the bed, and began to think crankily.
He has some ideas, but to implement them, he needs financial support. Without money, it's really hard to move an inch. His income, coupled with his mother's labor, has little problem surviving in Chang'an, but it can't support his ideas.
Well, go back and find Zhou Liang and urge him.
That's right......
Su Dawei suddenly remembered something.
The things that the shopkeeper Lu buried in the construction site of the Great Ci'en Temple! Perhaps, it wasn't Mr. Lu, but it was about the same. Anyway, what is hidden in the package that he mysteriously buried in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple? If you have a chance, you should check it out.
Outside the house, there was the sound of Liu Niangzi closing the door.
After Kurosaburo whimpered twice, there was no movement.
In the courtyard, there was silence.
The bright moonlight shone in through the window and sprinkled on the bed.
Su Dawei looked at the window and muttered to himself: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground...... I don't know, can I still go back to my hometown? ”
He already regards Chang'an as his hometown.
But he will not forget that his hometown is not in Chang'an.
After thinking about it for a long time, tiredness came to me.
Su Dawei lay on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and snored evenly.
"Demon, leave off!"
In the snow, a monster like an ape fled in a hurry.
Behind it, a figure sped away, as fast as lightning.
The snow on the ground was very thick, and there were no traces of people everywhere.
The ape, letting out an angry roar, stopped, and thumped his chest at the man behind him.
It was more than two meters tall, with a mouthful of fangs and a hideous expression.
The man, when he stopped, was a young man with clear eyebrows. Seeing the ape stop, the young man couldn't help but smile.
"Demon, do you still want to resist? If you are not suppressed today, you will be called the end of South Korea in vain. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and stretched out a finger.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth seemed to be occupied by his finger, and the ape let out a terrified roar as he watched the finger fall.
