I recommend a historical masterpiece "Spring and Autumn I am King", the author is professional and well-founded, and readers who like history must not miss it. With the stories in the book, relive the glorious and full of stories.

Xu Ping was in the room and his family was talking about the parting thoughts of the past few years, and outside Xu Chang commanded the little maid envoy to arrange a feast and feast the neighbors. It was early autumn at this time, and the night was not too cool, so it was a good time to have a night banquet in the courtyard.

As soon as Li Zhang left the palace from Xu Ping, he handed over to the next class of waiters, went home to change his clothes, and took his son to Xu Ping's house to pick up the wind for Xu Ping.

Li Yonghe has not yet returned from the party, his second son Li Wei is not familiar with Xu Ping, and Li Zhang has no one else to accompany him. Now that Li Yonghe has become the uncle of the country, glory and wealth are just around the corner, and the Li family has become one of the most noble families in Kaifeng City. Since the emperor recognized his relatives, he gave them the house of Fanglin Garden, Li Yonghe did not dare to ask for it, and later changed to an ordinary house in Huining Fang, which is only separated from the Xu family by a royal street, and the scale is not much different.

Now that the Li family has finally come to the bitter end, Duan Lao's yard has endured for a lifetime, and he has finally been blessed with old age and can enjoy his old age in peace. Although Li Zhang's younger brother Li Wei is not very good-looking, he is honest and has loved piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and now he has hired a teacher to teach him at home. As a relative, he doesn't expect to be like Xu Ping in the future, he can learn some cultural skills, and it will be good to have enough entertainment in the future, Li Yonghe does not force him to read poetry and books.

Now among the relatives, the first calligrapher and painting of the younger generation is Liu Yongnian, the son of Liu Congde, the emperor intends to match, Liu Yongnian and Li Wei often play together. As for the grievances and grievances of the Empress Dowager Liu, as she has passed away, she has gone with the wind. Speaking seriously, it is far better for Empress Dowager Liu to offend Xu Ping than to offend the emperor, and the emperor can let it go. Xu Ping didn't have any reason why he couldn't let it go. Liu Yongnian has been raised by the emperor since he was a child, and there is no need to fight with him.

Panpan has been following behind Xu Ping with a smile, sometimes pulling Zhang Sanniang, sometimes pulling Lin Suniang, sometimes pulling the new envoy Cui'er at home, and staring at Xu Ping all the time. He just doesn't open his mouth to call anyone.

Xu Ping was also helpless, no matter how she coaxed her, she didn't cry or get annoyed, she just laughed. Don't say that you can't get rid of her, even if you can get rid of Xu Ping, you're not willing to get rid of her, but what's the matter with not being called dad all the time?

It wasn't until Li Zhang brought his son Black Tiger over that Panpan called "Uncle" crisply, picked up the sugar man that Li Zhang brought back from outside, and happily went to play with Black Tiger. Don't follow Xu Ping.

The sun went down, the cool breeze at night rose, and the starlight was forced back by the bright lights in the courtyard of the Xu family, and the sky full of stars blinked helplessly.

The neighbors in the courtyard Xu Ping could count the slaps they could call by name, but it did not prevent them from enthusiastically saying hello to Xu Ping and saying all kinds of flattering words.

Xu Ping saluted everyone one by one, thanking them for taking care of their parents and family over the years. The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Only by having a good relationship with your neighbors can you live comfortably.

"Ride a big horse. Wearing a red robe, whose boy ......"

A group of children lined up, bouncing and singing nursery rhymes, and circling around the wine table. Black Tiger and Panpan didn't know anything about the world, but they watched the excitement and held hands to follow. Singing and dancing happily after him.

Xu Ping saluted a round of wine, slightly drunk, and a cool breeze blew, shivering.

The night was already deep, and the moon was rising in the east. Lying in the treetops, he secretly looked at the world. The water-like moonlight spreads between the heaven and the earth, look up, the buildings in Kaifeng City under the moonlight are lined up one after another, and the prosperity is better than Yongzhou, which can not be reasoned.

Xu Ping felt that his eyes were slightly moist, and a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

A few months ago, he was in charge of the fate of hundreds of thousands of people, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands to break the country and capture the king, and that kind of high-spiritedness also made Xu Ping excited. But now he deeply feels that what he needs is this happy ordinary life.

Li Zhang came up and grabbed Xu Ping's arm and helped him back to the table, the two brothers exchanged glasses, drank strong wine, talked about the parting in the past few years, talked about everyone's encounters, and sighed at the miracle of fate.

Xu Zheng was overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, and after drinking seven or eight glasses, he stopped drinking.

Seeing that it was already late at night, the neighbors said goodbye and left, and Xu Ping and Li Zhang's brothers still drank non-stop, Xu Zhengzheng said: "Your brothers just drink a meaning, and then have fun when you have time." Tomorrow, August 11, the day when the emperor is in court, he will go to court early in the morning. The Li family has to go to Ouchi on an errand, and he can't be sloppy at all, so it's good to rest early. ”

Xu Ping and Li Zhang promised again and again to let Xu Zheng go back to the room to rest early, and they would just drink two more glasses.

Since Emperor Zhenzong was unwell in the later period, he changed his daily court to a daily court, and he came to the court once every two days. When Empress Dowager Liu was in power, Zhao Zhen was in power, and he was really not a diligent emperor, and he still continued. In order to change the two-day dynasty to the **** dynasty, the ministers did not know how many chapters they had played, and they asked Zhao Zhen with the ancestral family law, and he was about to lose it. According to the current situation, there is no need to turn around the New Year, and the old appearance of crowding a bunch of people before dawn every day outside the Donghua Gate will be restored. It is also Xu Ping's hard life, and he can't enjoy the good days of going to court the next day for a few days.

At this time, Xu Ping had not been officially assigned to the ministry, and he could not go to the court in the vertical arch hall, but only went to the front hall with a group of idle officials to stand blindly and sign and draw. When the class Zaifu went down to the palace, he came over and said a few words casually, and everyone dispersed.

The front hall is purely ceremonial and has no meaning, so more than six or seventy percent of people ask for leave all year round. Xu Ping was because it was the first time he returned to Beijing to go to the court, so he had to go over to report for duty, otherwise he would have asked for leave.

On the contrary, Xu Zheng, since he was promoted to court official this year, has the qualification to go to the front hall to go to the court, he gets up early every day, cleans up neatly, and goes to the Wende Hall in good spirits.

Zhang Sanniang didn't know at first, but she thought it was a great event, so she followed the saddle and waited behind the horse. The next day, he got up before five watches, tidied up Xu Zheng, and sent him out of the door to let him go to the palace to face the king. Later, I learned that my husband was not qualified to see the emperor at all, and the last dynasty was to draw a charge and wait until the sun rose to eat a snack on the royal street and come home.

Later, when she learned the details, Zhang Sanniang was annoyed, and when she knew that most of the people who had the same identity as Xu Zheng were taking leave to stay at home all year round, she ignored Xu Zheng anymore. I don't know why Xu Zhengguan's addiction is so big, without Zhang Sanniang's support, he still insists on going to the court every time, rain or shine.

Xu Zheng turned back to the room to rest, and Li Zhang pulled Xu Chang and Gao Daquan Sun Qilang over, and a few people had a few drinks. Nian Zai Xu Ping had just come back, and Lin Suniang's so-called long-term absence was better than marrying, and a few people dispersed.

Xu Chang was outside directing to clean up the mess, and Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang helped Xu Ping back to his small courtyard. Xiuxiu had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, and then Xu Ping helped her all the way to the room.

Lin Suniang was playing with Panpan in the room, and when she saw Xu Ping coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and sat down at the table, and asked Xiuxiu to pour a cup of strong tea and give Xu Ping a hangover.

Panpan looked at Xu Ping curiously, and when she saw Lin Suniang leaving, she suddenly smiled, stepped forward and touched Xu Ping's arm, and then ran away with a quick smile, tilting her head to see Xu Ping's reaction.

Xu Ping was already a little dazed, looked up at Pan Pan in a daze, and beckoned to her.

Panpan smiled and quickly got into Lin Suniang's arms.

Xiuxiu brought the tea, Xu Ping drank it, his mind was a little clearer, and he leaned back on the chair to sober up.

Lin Suniang sighed, shook her head helplessly, and played with Xiuxiu.

The moon rose, the moonlight peeked into the room through the window, and the candlelight on the table flickered in the moonlight.

Xu Ping shook his head and finally came to his senses. When I opened my eyes, I saw Panpan sitting in Lin Suniang's arms and playing with Xiuxiu's fingers, the candlelight shining on her little head, and her ears were pink and shining.

"Panpan is sleeping with us today?" Xu Ping asked thoughtlessly.

Xiuxiu said with a smile: "The officials are joking, you just came back from thousands of miles away, how can you look forward to the little lady making trouble in the room." Sister Cui'er is doing some chores, and she will come over and bring the little lady to our room in a while. ”

Xu Ping let out an "oh" and didn't speak.

This eccentric daughter has never called herself, and still wants to have a relationship with her. But if she is left in the room, she and Lin Suniang don't have to do anything tonight, just coax the child with peace of mind, it will be even more unbearable.

After a short time, Cui'er finally finished her work and went into the room to pick up Panpan.

Cui'er raised Panpan's little hand and shook it to Xu Ping: "Call Daddy quickly, salute Daddy." ”

Panpan pursed her mouth tightly and just smiled, shaking her little head.

Xu Ping looked at her and sighed helplessly.

Lin Suniang's three women laughed together, Cui'er pinched Panpan's little face, and went back to the room with Xiuxiu.

When he arrived at the door of the room, Pan Pan suddenly turned around in Cui'er's arms and called Xu Ping crisply: "Daddy! ”

After calling, he giggled insolently, patted Cui'er's shoulder with his little hand, and urged her to go back to the room.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, looking at her painful shadow of laughter and trembling, and reminisced for a long time.

Lin Suniang closed the door, put down the jewelry on her head, and said to Xu Ping with a slight smile: "You have also woken up, there is hot water behind the screen, and I will wait for you to wash your feet." ”

Xu Ping looked at Lin Suniang under the candlelight, her face was tender and white, and her body was like a willow branch in the wind, swaying and colorful. The hair fell apart, and there was a special charm in the warm candlelight.

When she left, Lin Suniang was only fifteen years old, and her body had not grown, which made Xu Ping a little embarrassed. When she came back this time, Lin Suniang was already over twenty years old, and she really showed the beauty of a woman, which made people's hearts shake.

Xu Ping beckoned: "Don't be in a hurry, come over and we'll talk back." ”

Lin Suniang lowered her head and smiled, and slowly walked to Xu Ping's side.

Xu Ping took Lin Suniang into his arms with the intention of drinking, and whispered close to her ear: "In the past six years, do you think I don't want to?" I'm Yongzhou, but I think about you every night. ”

Lin Suniang was half shy and half charming, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you want to?" It is said that being a husband and wife is to grow old, but we are not allowed to reunite all year round, only if you think of me and I think of you, we are husband and wife. ”

Moonlight sneaked into the window and listened to the love talk that the two hadn't seen for years. It wasn't until a candle suddenly burst that the wordless silence was broken, adding a bit of charm. (To be continued.) )
