Li Ru's hint, Liu Xie expressed his satisfaction, but this joy still did not show on his face, and then Li Ru said: "Your Majesty gave Qi'er something yesterday?" Liu Xie picked up the tea brought by the yellow door and said, "Hmm! Isn't it just a little money, half a piece of tiger charm, and a mirror! What, isn't the master satisfied? No way! I think the mirror is beautiful! ”
Li Ru smiled bitterly and said, "Then your intentions?" Liu Xie was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that the master has been studying Wang Mang's biography these days, and it would be better if he had a real thing!" But it's a pity that there are only half of the tiger talismans, and the other half has not been found since Emperor Guangwu entered Chang'an......" Li Ru's face was black, and sure enough, once you think about simple things as complicated, this matter becomes complicated, and people always forget that this matter is actually very simple. Liu Xie is a child, so the issues he naturally considers will not be complicated...... Liu Xie blinked, and said a little innocently: "This is still taught to me by the master, I can't die reading, when I read history books, look at the real thing and understand it more thoroughly......"
Li Ru was gorgeously defeated, he didn't expect Liu Xie's intention to be this, and the little emperor was also very helpless, because Li Ru asked vaguely, and then treated him as a transparent person, and left after saying a few words vaguely......
In the dark secret room, a middle-aged man was somewhat obsessed with touching half of the tiger talisman. There was a wordless spirit seat on the high position in front of the middle-aged man, and the faint incense made this secret room even more silent. The tiger talisman is not very small, at first glance it looks like the tiger talisman of this dynasty, but it is larger, the copper-colored body is engraved with silver characters, and the chassis is even inlaid with gold......
There was a knock on the door, and someone outside the door shouted: "Lord? There was news from the palace...... "The middle-aged man's face changed, he was a little annoyed and a little frightened, his hand holding the tiger talisman trembled, and he gently put it in the dark compartment, and then locked it up. The middle-aged man's pace was not fast, and as soon as he pushed the decorations hanging on the wall, the sound of "rumble" was faint, and a door suddenly opened.
The middle-aged man went out, then closed the door of the secret room, and said, "What's the hurry!" The middle-aged man waved his sleeves, opened the door, looked at his butler solemnly and solemnly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The butler entered the door and said, "My lord! The room in the palace reported that Li Ru saw His Majesty today! The middle-aged man sneered, although this is a routine matter, but he must know all the big and small things in the palace, and only by knowing himself and his opponent can he not be defeated!
The housekeeper gently told the information sent back by the spy, and the middle-aged man's expression became very exciting, especially when he heard that His Majesty had given Liu Qi a half-piece tiger talisman...... The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the butler stepped back, not feeling anything unusual, because the old days were the same......
The heart of a middle-aged man is like molten on a volcano, and if it does not erupt, it is uncomfortable, and even his breathing is a little rough. Forcibly pressing the itch in his heart, the middle-aged man laughed coldly, Tiger Fu, Liu Qi? Very good......
The middle-aged man still entered the secret room, he really couldn't imagine that God would give him such a big gift, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy today. The middle-aged man's eyes became feverish, and a thick voice echoed in the secret room: "Ancestor, I found ...... Haha, found ......"
Liu Qi didn't expect Liu Xie's answer to be this, but Diao Chan still stored these things in the box, of course, the mirror naturally would not be put up, although the shadow reflected in the bronze mirror was not clear, but the picture was the auspicious ......
After a while, Liu Qi led Diao Chan out of the door, and the two of them were still relaxed and freehand, although the sun was biased and about to set, but since it was the New Year, it had to be a New Year. Liu Qi and Diao Chan went to Liu Fang's house, and with the uncle, they naturally had to pay tribute at the uncle's house, of course, after welcoming the stove, Liu Qi still went back.
Liu Fang's complexion was not bad, he looked at Liu Qi and nodded, leading him to the inner room. Liu looked at Liulang Jin with some pity, but the little ghost was just when he was naughty, he grimaced at his brother, ran a few steps, slipped on his feet, and fell to the ground. Liu Jin's face turned red, and he wanted to cry aggrievedly, Liu was just about to go over to help him, Liu Fang shouted: "What are you doing!" Get up on your own! ”
Liu Qi was thrilled in his heart, it was really Liu Fang, no wonder even Liu Yi didn't dare to breathe in front of him, Liu Jin was not even two years old, was he already so strict, Liu Bada really didn't blow it......
Liu Jin was aggrieved or got up by himself, the jade piece hanging around his neck was the piece given by Liu Qi, Liu Qi was distracted for a while, and unconsciously remembered the past a year ago, when he was still in the tiger prison, and pushed forward a little further, he was in warm Luoyang......
Although Liu Jin still "rained like beans" after getting up, Liu Fang's expression was cloudy and clear, and he ignored Liu Jin, who was coquettish in Liu's arms, but turned his head and said: "Qi!" You come with me! Liu Qi nodded, and Diao Chan followed.
Entering the study, Liu Fang first took out a letter bag and said, "The letter from Qilang to you just arrived yesterday!" Liu Qi was excited in his heart, at this time, it was really "a letter from home worth 10,000 dollars", and the traffic was too inconvenient, especially when the road was halfway through the "ceasefire zone", and there were indeed a lot fewer people coming and going......
Liu Fang looked at Liu Qi's excited expression, nodded unconsciously, took the ginger tea handed by Diao Chan, and narrowed his eyes. Although it is in his home, it is no different from Liu Qi's family, at this time, the relationship between the clan is actually far beyond people's imagination, and even in this era, the title "father" can refer to his uncle in addition to his father......
Liu Qi almost jumped up, if nothing else, Liu was pregnant again, of course, this Liu was his mother, thinking of his unborn brother or sister, Liu Qi's face seemed to be drunk, and the red color seemed to give this somewhat cold house a hint of spring......
Of course, there are also bad things, the so-called bad means that Liu Qi finally can't catch up with his brother's crown ceremony, Liu Ping's birthday is too early, followed by the New Year, there is no excuse even if he wants to delay, of course, the main thing is that Liu Ping can marry his daughter-in-law immediately after the crown ceremony...... Liu Ping's daughter-in-law is from Hebei Shenshi, although she is also a concubine, but I heard that her family background is average......
It was the Lord of the Stove who greeted the stove, and since Liu Qi had to hurry back to Jiafu, Liu Fang was relatively early. The people in the Liu family attended the meeting, the head of the family, Liu Fang, the younger generation Liu Qi, Liu Jin and a number of subordinates, as for the female stream, they entered the house. The so-called sacrificial stove at this time actually means to avoid women.
Confucius Youyun: "Rather than flattery, rather flattery and stove." "As one of the five rituals, the god of the stove naturally cannot be sloppy. The housekeeper of the Liu family put on the tribute early, one is the "sugar bun", that is, the "steamed bun" made of starch sugar with pasta, and the second is the bean material, which is naturally not for the shadow, but for the mount of the king of the stove, so that it can be ...... early
Facing the portrait of the god of the stove, Liu Fang calmly took the juniors to start the etiquette, kowtow, annotation, the solemn atmosphere in the room, even Liu Jin, who had just cried, wanted to hold his breath, and honestly knelt on the ground, his two small eyes kept blinking, staring at the portrait in front of him. Liu Jin didn't know that Liu Fang was very happy after listening to the servant's advice, because although Liulang was small, he also knew when to "pick the beam" and not miss the big thing......
After eating a little roughly, Liu Qi hurriedly retired, and Liu Fang instructed him to let him go. Diao Chan said on the shadow: "Tonight's steamed bun is good!" Liu Qi pinched his legs and said, "Of course, it was made by my uncle's mother!" Diao Chan nodded and said, "Hmm! I'm going to work on it too! When I wait for next year, I'll do it myself, okay! Enlightenment ......"
Liu Qi's body was crisp, although he had proved that Diao Chan had no talent for cooking when he was in Weiyang Palace, he still responded unconsciously. Diao Chan thought about something, as if she thought of the whole family eating the steamed buns she made and praising them. Even if Liu Qi knew, he wouldn't talk to sweep her temperament, after all, it was really a thing for her woman to cook, don't forget that their family is a scholar, and it's not that they don't have money, so cooking is naturally done by servants......
If Liu Liang knew that his son would think so, he would hate Zuo Ci well, he would be too loser, but some of them were even more relieved, at least his second son would not have to worry about food and clothing in his life...... It looks ridiculous, but in fact it is such a thing, the eldest son Ping inherited the business in the Liu family, which is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl, and the second son is doing business, just like going to the sea in later generations......
Jia Xu's family was really waiting for him, and the three big men started the sacrificial stove again, although it would be boring to repeat it, but what made Liu Qi a little interested was that Jia Xu actually prayed in a low voice when he was sacrificing the stove, hoping that the fetus was a man......
Liu Qi and Xu Huang were in good health, so they naturally pretended not to hear it, and Jia Xu, who was cheeky, was naturally equivalent to a person who had nothing to do, and after finishing the charter, he accompanied his wife with a smile......
Jiafu's steamed buns are also doing well, Tian is really an "all-round servant", not only gluttonous Liu Qi and Diao Chan are satisfied, but even Mrs. Jia is very satisfied! What, you said that Xiao Nian wanted to eat dumplings, but unfortunately, Zhang Ji hadn't gone to Changsha to do Taishou at this time, so naturally dumplings were not born, not to mention that Liu Qi actually didn't like to eat dumplings......
The Chinese New Year is indeed very busy, the second day of the whole family cleaning, on the 25th invited a butcher, Xu Huang and his apprentice caught a big pig, the butcher slaughtered a knife...... Naturally, the Jia family couldn't hear it, because the pig was not killed in Jiafu, but in the Li Mansion next door. Although Jia Xu didn't believe in Futu either, when the matter came, Jia Xu had to hug the thighs of all the immortals, so naturally he made a lot of jokes......
Li Ru didn't take it seriously, because in addition to killing pigs, the two provinces also slaughtered sheep, and they were the same there. Liu Qi violently covered Meng Lori's eyes with his hands, although Li Wan was a little angry, why didn't Sister Xiu'er, who was a few years older than her, have this taboo......
The New Year is festive, because with new clothes, listening to firecrackers (burning bamboo to listen to the sound of "popping", not firecrackers in the modern sense), eating New Year's candy, and of course, the most important thing is that the little Lori Li Wan is one year older, and in two or three years, she will be able to get married...... Thinking that Stinky Qi could play with her every day, Li Wan felt as if she had taken honey sweeter than the syrup in her hand......
But Liu Qi's New Year is not easy, to be precise, this New Year is his busiest time! In addition to visiting the uncle's house and seeing the apprentice Liu Xie, many friends have to go to the door! Ironically, when he regained his sanity in Liu Zhuang, the Liu family's guests were only one of them, and even Liu Ping's Liu Lang did not come to the door......
Seriously, counting it down, Liu Qi was also taken aback, he didn't expect that he had met so many people, many of whom were big shots! Situ Wang Yun, Wenhou Lu Bu, former Governor Hua Xiong, and Cai Yong in the service, of course, when he went to Cai's house, Liu Qi also saw the "senior sister" Cai Yan, and at this time he already knew the meaning of the gift......
Cai Yan was veiled, even if she had seen it, Liu Qi didn't talk to her much, mainly because Cai Meinu didn't have a good time this year, not long after Wei Zhongdao died, he had a dirty relationship with Wei, and he returned to Chang'an in a fit of anger and lived with his father. Compared with Cai Meinu's misfortune, Cai Meinu's sister is happily married, she is married to Yang Wei, who is the father of Yang Hu, the famous governor of Wei in the late Three Kingdoms. But look at history to know how noble Cai Yong's virtues are, even his daughter is so well educated, Cai's son and Yang Wei's ex-wife's son (ex-wife Kong's daughter, Kong Rong's daughter, died young) were seriously ill at the same time, but Yang Cai's took care of his early son Yangfa, which eventually led to the death of his son, which made those "stepmothers" who killed their eldest sons in order to fight for family property......
Cai Yan's family affairs Liu Qi can't manage and can't manage it, even that curiosity has been collected a lot, but thinking about it, it seems inevitable that it will be dirty, Wei Zhongdao's marriage is considered Chongxi, but unfortunately, "Chongxi" is naturally useless for serious illnesses, but it is a pity that Cai Meinu has a reputation of "Kefu", although now Chang'an can still row from the west of the city to the east of the city, but the injured woman will not promise easily......
However, what Liu Qi regretted the most was that he went to Li Qi's house, saying that he regretted it because he couldn't leave once he went, especially when Li Dawuku took out a few bottles of fine wine, and when the atmosphere was a little high, the bottles were replaced with jars, and even Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen, Fan Chou and others were convinced by Liu Qi, the future son-in-law of the Li family, well, when he drank too much, he would shout "I'm not drunk", especially this wine is really not high, but it is also very difficult......
Such a small amount of alcohol is naturally impressive, not to mention that Liu Qi, a "literati", did not shake his frame at all in front of a group of martial artists, pretending, although he was very embarrassed, but he was really likable. Wufu are all real people, and even Guo Yan and Guo Aduo, who are not on the right path with Liu Qi, have made a few big bowls with him, so you can imagine the excitement in it......
On the first day of the new year, although it was a sunny day, Chang'an was actually a little cold. A stunningly beautiful woman in a pink dress with a veil furrowed her brows because in front of her was a drunken man. Although the big black horse carried two people, it still snorted leisurely, and the people in the street looked a little envious, without it, the horse alone was eight feet tall......
The most beautiful woman is naturally Diao Chan, and as for the "man", it is Liu Qi, who is just thirteen years old. As soon as Liu Qi was drunk, Li Dao naturally ordered his subordinates to send him back, but unfortunately, the big black horse was so fierce that Li Dao, who had drunk too much, even almost suffered a loss, and he woke up with a body of wine, so he hurriedly sent someone to Jiafu......
Diao Chan was about to go out, so he walked out alone, and the beautiful little lady came to the Li Mansion naturally caused a sensation. Although you can't see the face behind the veil, a faint fragrance attracts many ****. Guo Yan blinked, let out a strange cry in his mouth, and reached out to touch it...... (To be continued.) )
