Chapter 670: Angering Concubine Yang

Strictly speaking, there is no winter in Taiwan, even in the northernmost Keelung and other regions, where it is only divided into hot season and cool season, of which the cool season is the same as the winter time period in the north of Datang, and the others are hot seasons, but even if it is the cool season, the temperature is much higher than the winter in the north, generally around ten degrees, and it will not freeze, unless it is an abnormal climate, but it may lead to natural disasters.

Now that it has entered the winter of Zhenguan for 25 years, Keelung and other places are also in the cool season, but Keelung at this time is very cold, because in the cool season, it will often rain in Taipei, and the cold wind blowing from the north of the Pacific Ocean in the middle and upper Pacific Ocean seems to be not low, but in fact it makes people feel wet and cold, which makes Li Su's family very unaccustomed to it, so they have to hide in Tainan City for the winter.

In fact, this is not only the feeling of Li Su's family, but also other people who have moved from the north of the Tang Dynasty are also not very adaptable to the wet and cold winter in Taipei. Only some Han Chinese, who are originally southerners, will feel that Keelung's winter is very warm, after all, Taiwan is greatly affected by the marine climate, and the temperature is higher than that of the same latitude.

After these years of development, especially the maritime trade in Nanyang and Tianzhu and other places has become more and more prosperous, so the geographical location of Tainan City has also been highlighted, and even in recent years, the development speed of Tainan City has significantly exceeded Keelung, shipbuilding, sugar refining, textile and steam engine manufacturing, etc., are developing rapidly, and now it has formed the second largest industrial zone in Taiwan around it, and according to the current development speed, it will not take a few years to surpass the Taipei Industrial Zone centered on Keelung.

It is precisely because of the increasing importance of Tainan City that at the time of the founding of the country, Li Su listed Tainan City as the accompanying capital. There was originally a royal palace in the city, which was also expanded into a large-scale royal palace, and Li Su would come here every year to live for a while.

In the back garden of the Royal Pavilion. A slender lady stood on the covered bridge, her eyes quietly looking at the river flowing under her feet. Occasionally, she would reach out and sprinkle the fish food in her hand into the water, attracting the golden carp in the small river to scramble for food.

This lady is about fifty years old, but because of her proper maintenance and natural beauty, she looks much younger than her actual age, and when people see her, they generally think that she is only in her thirties, and at most she will not be more than forty years old. If she carefully puts on makeup and hides the fine lines on her eyes and forehead, it is estimated that she will be four or five years younger, and if she stands with Li Su, no one will doubt that she is Li Su's sister.

This noble lady standing on the covered bridge is Li Su's biological mother Concubine Yang, some time ago Li Ke went on an expedition to the Mediterranean, as a mother Concubine Yang was worried, Li Shimin could also understand Concubine Yang's mood, so he sent someone to escort Concubine Yang to Taiwan. After spending a few days with Li Ke, he finally personally sent his son on board the ship and left Taiwan.

Regarding Li Ke's expedition to the Mediterranean, Concubine Yang's heart was as conflicted as Li Shimin, and she was pleased that her son had ideals and ambitions. is not willing to live an ordinary life, and will definitely be able to become their pride like Li Su in the future.

On the other side, Concubine Yang was a little worried and reluctant. After all, the Mediterranean Sea is so far away, and Li Ke doesn't know when he will come back. In addition, she also knew that Li Ke wanted to gain a foothold there. must go through bloody battles, although she knows that Li Ke will not fight on the battlefield in person, but as a mother, Concubine Yang is still a little worried in her heart.

"Grandmother! Grandmother! Look at me catching a butterfly! At that moment, a crisp voice shouted, accompanied by the sound of a rapid run.

Concubine Yang turned her head to look when she heard the sound, and found that her eldest granddaughter Chou Chou was waving a butterfly in her hand and ran towards her quickly along the covered bridge, and behind Chouchou, Li Mian and Li Xiu, Youlan Three, as well as Li Ke's second son Li Wei and third son Li Kun and other children also followed closely behind.

Looking at these grandchildren, Concubine Yang's mood immediately improved, and a loving smile immediately appeared on her face, while letting Chou Chou and others run slowly, she also greeted her, but was plunged into her arms by Chou Chou, the grandparents and grandchildren laughed together, and Li Mian and other children in the back ran too fast, and they couldn't stop for a while, so they bumped into Chou Chou one after another, and almost knocked Yang Concubine down, and the angry Chou pointed to a group of younger brothers and sisters to train endlessly.

"Okay, ugly, my younger brothers and sisters are also careless, so don't train them anymore!" Looking at the ugly appearance of a little adult, Concubine Yang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, no wonder Liulang likes this eldest daughter the most, this little girl is sometimes really likeable.

When Ugly Ugly heard his grandmother's words, he immediately smiled and stopped talking, and Li Mian and several other children immediately relaxed, pestered Concubine Yang and began to speak, this let Concubine Yang look at the grasshopper she caught, and the one that let Concubine Yang see the garland she made with her own hands. Sometimes she will grab Concubine Yang's sleeve and shake it all the time, which makes Concubine Yang look a little embarrassed, but Concubine Yang enjoys this kind of family fun between grandparents and grandchildren very much, when she was alone in Chang'an before, she thought most about her grandchildren.

Li Su in the distance looked at Concubine Yang's happy appearance, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, since the third brother Li Ke left, Concubine Yang's mood was not very good, and Li Su's going to the Mediterranean Sea was strictly speaking related to him, so this made Li Su a little afraid to face Concubine Yang, and even deliberately avoided her in the past few days, until today he let Chou Chou bring his younger brothers and sisters to play with Concubine Yang, and now it seems that the effect is really good.

"Husband, you go and take care of the ugly and ugly of them, don't let the concubine be tired!" At this moment, Wen Xin walked over from behind Li Yu and said with a smile. Just looking at her expression, it seems that she has long known that Li Su is behind her back to instruct them to be ugly.

"Me?" Li Su was a little embarrassed, "I won't go, there are still some government affairs that have not been dealt with today, Wenxin, you say hello to my mother on my behalf!" ”

Li Su said, turned around and was about to escape, but Wen Xin grabbed his sleeve and said: "Husband, the mother concubine only has you and the third brother's two sons, and now the third brother has been gone for a few days, but you have been avoiding the mother concubine, what will the mother think?" ”

"This ......" Li Su was also shocked after hearing this, indeed, he was just worried that Concubine Yang would blame, so he kept hiding, but he ignored that Concubine Yang needed his son at this time, and hiding like this would only make her more angry.

Thinking of this, Li Su shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go and say hello to the concubine together." ”

Wen Xin showed a triumphant smile at this time, and walked in front of Concubine Yang with Li Su, and when the ugly and other children saw them, they immediately didn't dare to mess with their grandmother anymore, and they all became good babies.

"Son-in-law to meet the mother!" Li Su and Wen Xin saluted together.

"Well, Wen Xin hurry up, Mian'er said that he got another excellent in the last exam, is it true?" Concubine Yang didn't seem to see Li Su, she just pulled Wen Xin up and said affectionately.

"Grandmother, I'm not lying, Mr. really gave me a favor." Li Mian interjected very indifferently.

"Woo~, my father is so pitiful, my grandmother is angry!" Chou Chou is already a big girl, and she knows some things, so at this time, she whispered with some schadenfreude, but unfortunately she was heard by Li Su, and as a result, he gave his daughter a fierce look.

"Son-in-law, see mother!" Li Su reluctantly spoke again.

At this time, Concubine Yang finally glared at Li Su, and then said, "Why didn't you hide?" ”

"Mother, I'...... I was wrong! Li Su knew that no matter how much he defended at this time, it was useless, not to mention that he did have something to think about, so he could only admit his mistake on the spot, but he was still a little embarrassed to admit his mistake in front of his children.

"Hmph, it's good to know it's wrong!" Concubine Yang looked at Li Su's pitiful appearance, and her heart was also soft. In fact, Concubine Yang was not angry with Li Ke when she went to the Mediterranean, but Li Su deliberately avoided her in the past few days, which was what made Concubine Yang angry.

Feeling that Concubine Yang's tone softened, Li Su immediately smiled cheekily, stepped forward and Wen Xin to support Concubine Yang left and right: "Mother, when you come to Taiwan this time, you must stay for a while longer, now the Guanzhong area is the coldest time, but the climate in Taiwan is similar to spring, plus they have been thinking about you all the time, so don't go back for the time being!" ”

Concubine Yang was also a little moved when she heard Li Su's words, but then she thought of one more thing, and sighed at the moment and said: "It's nothing if I usually live in Taiwan for a year, but some time ago, Sister Changsun had a serious illness, and her body has not fully recovered, and the affairs in the palace will be handed over to me to take care of, so I will have to go back to you until the spring of next year." ”

Li Su was also a little disappointed when he heard this, and then Wen Xin next to him asked: "Hasn't the queen mother's illness been cured by Mrs. Sun, why is she seriously ill now for no reason?" ”

I saw that Concubine Yang was suddenly stunned at this time, took Wen Xin's hand and said: "Wen Xin, if you don't ask, I almost forgot, Sister Changsun is actually because she gave birth to too many children when she was young, so her body is seriously damaged, which is easy to get sick, speaking of which, Wen Xin, you also have three children with Liulang, try not to have them in the future, otherwise your body will lose too much, and you will get sick when you are old." ”

The year before last, Wen Xin gave birth to a son named Li Rui, and now he has just learned to walk.

Hearing her mother-in-law's concern, Wen Xin's heart also warmed, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband has also discussed this matter with me before, and we will pay attention to it in the future, and with two sons and a daughter, my son is already very satisfied." ”

Hearing Wen Xin's words, Concubine Yang nodded reassuringly, although she looked down on this daughter-in-law in the past, but that was mainly because Wen Xin had no heirs after marriage, and later Wen Xin became a man in one fell swoop, which made Concubine Yang not take Wen Xin's background to heart for a long time.

But then Concubine Yang thought of another annoyance, and said to Li Su with a slight frown: "Liulang, there is one thing that I want to trouble you, but I don't think it will have much effect." (To be continued......)
