Chapter 918: Intoxicated and Gentle Township
In the midst of singing and dancing and the intertwining of cups, the empress's enthronement ceremony was already half a month ago.
There are many people who are immersed in the infinite nostalgia for Li Tang, and there are also many people who are intoxicated by the beautiful dreams of the new dynasty. And Xue Shao was intoxicated in the gentle township, with his princess Taiping.
In the evening of the end of summer, the heat subsides and the sunset is like a brocade, and the lotus pond in the backyard of Princess Taiping's mansion is rippling with spring.
Linlin and five or six Banjian Meiji were swimming and playing in the pool. Several other women were rowing boats or floating barrels, picking lotus pods in the pond.
In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Xue Shao was holding a fishing rod in one hand and tea in the other, and his eyes looked left and right from time to time. He was not worried about the fish mark that might shake at any time, and he couldn't bear to miss the wonderful scene of the beauty playing in the water. So these eyes can be regarded as busy.
Princess Taiping sat next to him and stared at him coldly for a long time, and finally couldn't help but pick up a piece of chilled Sydney pear and stuff it into his mouth.
"Woo, woo, delicious." Xue Shao was smeared with a mouth full of sugar water, and he squeaked continuously.
"What kind of system does a thief become?" Princess Taiping picked up a handkerchief and wiped it vigorously on his mouth, causing him to shake his head.
Xue Shao smiled, "Zi said, chromophobia!" ”
"Confucius said so many words, you just remember this sentence." Princess Taiping said angrily, "Be careful." If you can't catch any more fish today, you won't go to my bed at night. ”
Xue Shao was overjoyed, "Princess Xie!" ”
"I'll pinch you!" Princess Taiping's claws had already reached Xue Shao's waist and twisted a ball of flesh, but she was reluctant to pinch it.
Xue Shao smiled and said, "It's been half a month since I went home, and it's time to go to the West Courtyard to have a look." ”
The southwest courtyard of the princess's mansion is where Yue Nu and Chen Xian'er live. In fact, these days, Xue Shao would go to see Yuenu and her newborn son every day, and would also take time to accompany their mother and daughter at Chen Xian'er's. But now that he said this, he obviously meant to go to the West Courtyard for the night.
"Then go ahead!" Princess Taiping said, the corners of her mouth raised and smiled charmingly and seductively, "My bones are about to be broken apart by you, and I just have two days off." ”
Xue Shao laughed, "The big husband gallops across the field, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!" You can't hold this little city pass after all! ”
"Shut up, what nonsense!" Princess Taiping pushed him angrily and funny, and suddenly shouted again, "Fish, fish!" ”
Xue Shao shouted and lifted the rod, and the fishing rod immediately bent down, obviously a big one. The couple screamed like children, but the poor line was so thin that the horn broke at the snap.
Princess Taiping stomped her feet in disappointment, "Useless guy! ”
Xue Shao shook his head and sighed, his mother's fishing line in the Tang Dynasty is really not strong!
"I don't care, I want to eat fish!" Princess Taiping looked at Xue Shao angrily.
Xue Shao smiled, reached out to pinch her face, and whispered: "The mother of the three children, she is still coquettish like a little girl?" ”
"I just want it!" Princess Taiping grinned, puffing her mouth like a frog for Xue Shao to pinch, but still shouted: "I don't care, I want to eat fish!" ”
"Okay!"
As soon as the words fell, Xue Shaoyi jumped into the pond.
Princess Taiping was startled, "Hey, what are you doing!" ”
Where are the figures?
Lin Lin and the others, who were playing in the water on the other side, heard the sound and looked over and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
"The colt jumped into the water and disappeared!" Princess Taiping pointed to the water and shouted a little anxiously.
Lin Lin and the others were also somewhat taken aback, and they all swam here to find someone.
At this moment, something suddenly flew up from the water and landed next to Princess Taiping, startling her. Xue Shao also emerged from the water, "Your fish! ”
A big mandarin fish weighing four or five pounds was at the feet of Princess Taiping, crackling and jumping. Princess Taiping was anxious, "Come on, catch it and don't let it escape!" ”
Yang Siqiao, who was nearby, hurriedly rushed forward and caught the fish.
Princess Taiping looked at it happily, "What a big mandarin fish! Hurry up and take it, let the cook steam! ”
"Yes." Yang Siqiao took the promise and left.
Princess Taiping turned her head and looked, hey, where are the people?
Xue Shao disappeared from the water again, and even Linlin and the swimming Ban Jian Meiji were gone.
As he was muttering, a group of people appeared from the bottom of the water. Lin Lin and the women hugged Xue Shao and surrounded him with breasts, hips, waves and boundless spring.
"I'm so angry, bully this palace can't swim?" Princess Taiping shouted in the pavilion, "Xue Lang, if you have the ability, don't go ashore today!" Otherwise, I'll make you look good! ”
"I'm scared to death, I'm so scared!" Xue Shao patted his chest, "Then I'll go down again!" ”
There were a few grunts, and Xue Shao and the women were gone.
Princess Taiping was amused and amused, shook her head, and whispered to herself: "It would be a great blessing if you could continue to mess around like this at home forever for the rest of your life." It's better than when you're out on the road and dying. ”
A moment later, a maid came up and told Princess Taiping that the prince and his wife and the San Lang couple had arrived.
Junhou of course refers to Xue Shao's eldest brother Xue Yi, and San Lang is Xue Xu.
Princess Taiping nodded, "Please invite them to sit in the main hall for a while, and I will change my clothes." ”
After Xue Shao returned to the court, he continued to engage in political activities and various banquets for half a month. Until today, the three Xue brothers have only taken half a day of free time to get together with their families.
Princess Taiping changed her clothes and greeted them first in the main hall, and said that Xue Shao was swimming in the pond in the backyard, and she would come to see her brother and sister-in-law when she was young.
"Erlang just can't be idle!" Xue Yi smiled and said, "I'm old, and my body is not as good as him." After the half-moon banquet, the bones are going to be drunk. ”
Princess Taiping looked at her sister-in-law Xiao Shi, who had a bulging belly on the side, and said with a smile: "I look at the eldest brother, it is still the same as it was back then!" ”
Xue Yi's old face turned red, and he was speechless. Xiao Shi said: "I hope that I can add some more heirs to the Xue family." ”
Speaking of this, Xue Yi Ke was energetic, and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, forgive me for saying more, Erlang is in the spring and autumn period, and he should have more heirs to spread the branches and leaves for the Xue family." You have given birth to your eldest son, Qiyu, and Erlang has a successor, and my Xue family is also grateful to you. Now that the princess is in her prime, wouldn't it be better if she could add some more blood and bones? ”
Princess Taiping smiled, "That depends on his ability." ”
Xue Yi's old face turned red again. It's a little indecent to talk about such a topic in front of her brother and daughter-in-law, but fortunately, Princess Taiping is not an old-fashioned person, otherwise he would be even more embarrassed.
Xiao Shi hurriedly invited Princess Taiping to the side, and whispered: "Your Highness, don't blame the little old man, he has always been good at rhetoric and is used to talking nonsense." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's your own family!" Princess Taiping smiled nonchalantly.
"Then again, Erlang should have more heirs." Xiao said, "When your eldest son Qiyu grows up in the future, you will be able to have more brothers to help." The Xue family is also going to carry it forward! ”
Princess Taiping nodded, she understood the meaning of Xiao's words, which was to let Xue Shao Dona concubine have more sons.
Now is the era when the gate valve and the family are in power, and the more the world's wealthy families, the more blessed they are. Besides, when Xue Qiyu grows up, his younger brothers will become his right-hand men, no matter what, it's better than relying on outsiders, right? Many brothers are huddled together and work together to create a family business, which is the foundation for a big family to continue to multiply and develop.
As he was talking, Xue Shao came. It's all water, and I haven't had time to change my clothes.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, little brother is reckless!" Xue Shao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Let's go change clothes, what should I do if I catch a cold?" Xiao Shi hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Okay, I'll go!"
Xue Shao was just about to turn around and walk into the back room, when Xue Yi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, and whispered in his ear: "You are the king, and you have to listen to my brother at home, right?" ”
Xue Shao rounded his eyes, "Of course." ”
"That's good." Xue Yi's expression was very serious, as if he had the demeanor of the head of the family, "Within three years, ten sons will be born!" ”
Xue Shao almost squirted a mouthful of blood on Xue Yi's face just like he did when he was in Shuozhou, "Ten?!" ”
"Just ten! One less, don't even recognize me as a big brother! Xue Yi obviously didn't seem to be joking, "The twenty class swords all seem to be like flowers, and no one has given birth to an heir for you over the years!" Don't you think it's a tyrannical thing? ”
Xue Shao nodded in shock and panic, "Big brother, the iron pestle will also be sharpened into a needle!" ”
"Don't be hippie!" Xue Yi still kept a straight face, and said in a low voice: "You are already the fourteenth of the second-rank official mansion, but the number of concubines is still the same as the original fifth-grade official." Strictly speaking, you have violated the law of the land, do you know? ”
Xue Shao's cheeks cramped, who the is the law of the country? Don't let people live!
In the evening, the family has a small dinner.
Xue Yi and Xue Xu, today are mainly here to discuss with Xue Shao about the little daughter who Princess Taiping has just given birth to, and do the matter of full moon wine. In fact, the youngest daughter of the county lord of Anyi is more than half a year old, but Xue Shao has been fighting outside, so this joy of making tiles has been delayed until today.
As a concubine, Yuenu rarely attended the banquet of Princess Taiping's mansion, but today, she and her newly born son were also invited to sit at the table.
Although the family atmosphere in Xue Shao's family has always been very good, Xue Shao himself is not as patriarchal as other Tang men. But now is indeed an era of male and female servants, and the status of the moon slave who gave birth to a son to Xue Shao has improved a lot in the family. At least in the eyes of Xue Yi and others, this is the case.
"Erlang, have you named this fat boy?" Xue Yi hugged the son of the moon slave and liked it very much.
"I've thought about it a lot, and I haven't decided yet." Xue Shao said, "Why don't you ask the eldest brother to help choose a name?" ”
"Okay!" Xue Yi was overjoyed, and blurted out without even thinking about it, "It's called Xue Dingguo!" ”
Xue Shao couldn't help but be stunned, "This is the name of a general?" ”
"Why not?" Xue Yi said, "You, the father, are the commander of all armies; Even his mother is known as General Anda. Wouldn't it be a good thing for him to grow up in the future, and his son will inherit his father's business and become a generation of famous generals who are powerful in the world? ”
Xue Shao looked at Yue Nu, her eyes never left his son for a moment, and her face was full of warm and satisfied smiles.
"That's good, it's called Xue Dingguo!"
