Chapter 122 New Year
In the evening, snowflakes floated again in the sky, and the Qingtong courtyard was quiet and peaceful. Several old plum trees in the corner were blooming against the snow. A burst of fragrance floated into the porch with the wind and penetrated into the half-open window.
Li Tian took the book and looked at the snow in the yard and the beautiful plum trees. Her thoughts flew far away. When she first came here, she had a dream of traveling to the world with a sword. Li Tian's mouth showed a hazy smile. At that time, she felt that she had been clear from that bear on that face, but she felt No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she saw her face in the blurred bronze mirror, and then saw Yue Niang's skills. She was simply happy and crazy those days, as if the mysterious and proud chivalrous woman's dream was right in front of her, which was her biggest dream in her last life.
Li Tian picked up the small bronze mirror on the kang and carefully held herself in the mirror. The bronze mirror now looks very clear, and there has been no vague feeling for a long time. Li Tian smiled at herself in the mirror. She has not been a chivalrous woman in her two lives. The world she saw in her book told Yue Niang. , Yue Niang is as strange as listening to the book of heaven. Li Tian put down the bronze mirror and looked out of the window. Thanks to her grandmother, if it hadn't been for her, she would have died many times. Li Tian thought of Mrs. Lin sadly, and there was a pain in her heart. Grandma may have felt something long ago. She still clearly remembers that when she ordered Yue Niang to kill those scoundrels, Yue Niang With a ghostly shocked face, she thought that the place where there was a master like Yue Niang was the world in the book where she could kill people with a sword.
I don't know how much effort it took Grandma to settle that incident. Li Tian's thoughts in her heart are flying like snow. No matter what she did, grandma never regarded her as a heresy. Li Tian's heart surged with sourness, and her eyes were hot. Only Grandma would love her so indiscriminately, even if she became a monster.
Li Tian lowered her head, slowly opened the veil with her hand, and pinched the agate beads decorated in the four corners of the veil. She promised her grandmother not only to live, but also to live well. If you want to live well, there is no reason to wait for death.
"Yiluo," Li Tian pushed the window open and took a deep breath in the cold wind. She turned to look at Yingluo and ordered, "From today on, you take Yu Yeli to copy the mansion and the tabloid. According to the people, when and what you have done, as long as there is something on the mansion or tabloid, it will be listed under everyone's name, from the latest mansion. Copy and tabloid, and keep moving forward.
Yiluo looked at Li Tian in surprise. She was stunned but didn't ask much. Li Tian ordered Yingluo, jumped off the kang, put on a hood and came out. She turned to the backyard to find Yue Niang who was practicing kung fu. She stood by and watched her finish practicing her fist, and then ordered, "I'm sorry to go and tell the shopkeeper Cheng and let him pay more attention to the affairs of the household department and the military department. In addition, keep an eye on your uncle's affairs, and then look for Sun Liu, and ask him to pay attention to the fourth master and fifth master, Dongyang County Prince's mansion and Chang'an Marquis's mansion. Don't send people to keep an eye on him, just tell them to pay attention to them.
Yue Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Tian. Li Tian smiled and said, "It's okay, but it's good to know more about it." Yue Niang's eyebrows fell, and she put away her sword and promised, "Ok, I'll go now!"
The three-person school in Xu's mansion was not on holiday until the day before the sacrificial stove. Jiang Hong packed up his pen and turned to look at Xu Sihai and Leng Mingsong with a smile, "It's always a good thing to have a holiday. How about finding a place to celebrate the New Year first? I'll do it."
"Good." Leng Mingsong looked at Xu Sihai and responded with great interest. Since the two had a fight and decided on a ranking marriage that day, Xu Sihai has hardly talked to Jiang Hong. Leng Mingsong did not know how many times he had tried in the middle. Seeing Jiang Hong extending his intention to make peace again, Leng Mingsong naturally tried his best to make fun: "Which house does Jingzhi want to go to go to? Why don't we choose the most expensive one and have a good meal back?
"Go ahead, I have something else to do." Xu Sihai refused without looking at Jiang Hong. Leng Mingsong smiled bitterly. Jiang Hong looked at Xu Sihai and sincerely invited him, "Let's go together. What's the difference between our brothers and brothers? Although we have had a fight, there is indeed something wrong with me in that matter. I'm here to give you a gift. Jiang Hong said and bowed solemnly to Xu Sirong to the end. Xu Sihai awkwardly reached out and helped Jiang Hong and said, "I don't blame you, and I don't blame you."
"I knew that you must be not to blame each other," Leng Mingsong hurriedly persuaded the two sides to make peace: "Just talk about it today. Let's go. Anyway, you have to have a good drink two cups today. Jingzhi, don't find an excuse. Anyway, you have to go today, just take it as giving me face," Leng Mingsong frowned when he saw Xu Sihai. Willingly, he came forward and dragged his arm and persuaded him: "Let's go. Yan replied just now that he was right. Although we are brothers, what's the difference between us and our own brothers? You two are fine. You have brothers and cousins. I am alone, but I regard you two as brothers in my heart. Let's go. If Jingzhi doesn't go, I won't be able to live a good this year.
Xu Sihai had been a little loosened by Jiang Hong's accompaniment, and then was dragged and persuaded by Leng Mingsong. It was not easy to put on that stinky face. He followed Leng Mingsong out of the study. The three of them got on the horse and went straight to the Qingfeng Building. The cold battle that lasted for several months between Xu Sihai and Jiang Hong finally came to an end.
Jiang Hong was drunk. The next day, he woke up and went out to the porch. A cold wind blew and was smart. His dull head suddenly woke up. He stood in the porch and looked up at the gray sky in a daze. The awkward uneasiness surged to his heart. Since he saw Yue Niang that day, this uneasiness From time to time, it came out and became more and more intense. Jiang Hong hung his head regretfully. How could he make such a bet with Xu Sihai at the beginning? Who can be accurate about this imperial examination? If she doesn't get along, won't she lose her heart?
Jiang Hong supported the railing with his hands and his head drooped low. The sadness and regret came up like a fire. No, he couldn't down her anyway! Hearing his uncle's explanation that the main examination of the year was almost settled, Jiang Hong suddenly raised his head, looked straight at the dark green holly trees in the yard, pushed the railing hard, and ordered without looking back, "Take the articles I wrote these days and go to the second uncle's house."
The first New Year after the split of the Duke of Yongguo was very deserted. Li Zhong, the Duke of Yongguo, didn't know why he heard about Mrs. Yang cutting off Li Tian's marriage to Li Yunshang. After quarreling with Mrs. Yang, he locked himself in the front yard and refused to face Mrs. Yang. He did not see Li Yunshang and refused to even come out for the New Year's Eve dinner.
On the big round table of the New Year's Eve dinner, there were Mrs. Yang, Li Xiaozu and Li Yunshang. Mrs. Yang looked at her daughter-in-law Zhou Da\ Grandma standing behind her and said, "You can also sit down." Li Xiaozu's face was full of joy, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and let his daughter-in-law sit down. Mrs. Yang's face suddenly turned cold and stared at Li Xiaozu coldly. Li Xiaozu was stared at by his mother and involuntarily shrank his neck. After sitting back, his heart surged with anger. His two eyebrows were twisted together like protest. Zhou Da\Grandma turned Yang Fu He secretly made a mistake and said with a respectful smile, "I'd better stand to serve the marquis and the third sister. I'm used to it. This year is the last year that the third sister spends at home. By this time next year, the third sister will be their daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Yang turned her head and stared at Grandma Zhou. Grandma greeted her with a respectful smile, which made people unable to find anything strange. Li Yunshang's face suddenly faded and slowly lowered her head. Mrs. Yang looked at Li Yunshang sadly, frowned and said coldly, "What's the last thing in the end of the New Year? I can't even say anything!"
Grandma Zhou subconsciously narrowed her eyes. Li Xiaozu stared at her sister Li Yunshang opposite her eyes. Her eyebrows were tightened. She lowered her head, and the soup bowl touched her head and drank soup. A Niang's heart became more and more fierce! Grandma Zhou looked at Li Xiaozu, who was drinking the soup, and her eyebrows flew slightly a few times. She smiled and gave the dishes to Mrs. Yang and Li Yunshang attentively. Mrs. Yang stared at Li Xiaozu and blocked her chest with a stuffy breath. Since she took the envoy, he became more and more unfilial!
Before the New Year's dinner began, he was full of anger, big and small. Li Xiaozu finished the soup in the bowl, pushed the bowl and stood up. He said in a muffled voice without raising his head, "I'm going to accompany my father. I can't let him spend the New Year alone." With that, without waiting for Mrs. Yang to answer, she turned around and left. Mrs. Yang put down her chopsticks angrily. Li Yunshang looked up at Li Xiaozu's back, turned her head to look at Mrs. Yang, slowly put down her chopsticks, and could hardly help feeling sad and aggrieved.
It was a good marriage that she never dared to dream of. She likes Xu Jie and the Xu family. She never dared to marry such a family. She didn't know that this marriage was originally Li Tian's. Later, so many things happened. She still can't believe that Sister Tian would treat her like that and lie to her, the Zhou Dynasty Shun... At the thought of this name, Li Yunshang's heart seemed to have been pinched into a ball. Her mother took out 5,000 taels of silver, but now there was not enough silver. The eldest sister sent a thousand taels of silver back. Li Yunsang subconsciously looked up at her sister-in-law Zhou Da's grandmother. The eldest brother took a lot of silver to do business. If it weren't, she wouldn't need the eldest sister. If you come back with silver, the eldest sister will not be beaten by her brother-in-law and rejected by her mother-in-law.
If she had known this, she would rather not be the relatives of the Xu family. Li Yunshang's heart seemed to be full of ice, and it was even a little difficult to breathe. At the beginning, she followed Sister Tian around and talked and played with Jiang's wife, Yu's wife, Xu Jie, Lin's wife and so on. Good to her, that time was the fastest day for her. Later, she made a marriage. Except for Xu Jie, no one walked with her. Later, Xu Jie did not come. Everyone must have known that she robbed Sister Tian's marriage, and she became a despised by everyone.
