Chapter 127 Night Talk
As for the secret information about the last dozen people, Emperor Wu just read it once and then put it aside.
“Let’s focus on Du Qinghui. His information is listed as the highest level. If there is anything unusual, you must tell me as soon as possible. The businessman of the Xing family should continue to monitor. In addition, if there are any of the dozen or so observation objects, Just report to me what’s going on.”
“No.”
“What’s the news about the spy recently?”
"Back to the saint, we are here"
Late night, Changshoufang, Li's house.
Brother Li burned his feet, wiped away the water stains, and said to Sister-in-law Li, who was still sewing under the lamp: "Okay, carefully hurt your eyes."
Sister-in-law Li did not refute, Obediently, he put down the clothes he made for Kogoro, pinned the needle and thread, put them away, and then wanted to pour water for brother Li's feet.
"Lie down quickly and I will go there myself."
Sister-in-law Li didn't fight, she just cut the candlestick next to the bed to make it brighter.
After the two of them blew out the candles and lay down, they could no longer hear the cicadas chirping in the yard, but they could hear the chirping of other insects clearly.
"Erlang? Erlang, are you asleep?"
Brother Li and his father walked around for a day with Li Sanniang. They had just burned their feet, but they were already warmed by Erlang Li's sister-in-law. He lay down on the bed, and just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard Sister-in-law Li calling him.
"Huh? Lan Niang, do you want to relieve yourself?"
Second Sister-in-law Li reached out and touched to the right. After feeling that Xiao Wulang was covered with a quilt and had not kicked off the quilt, she leaned towards Brother Li on the left and whispered to Brother Li: "No. Erlang, you." , Can you feel resentful?”
This question made Brother Li, who was feeling sleepy, suddenly come to his senses.
He opened his eyes, looked at the moonlight that filtered into the room outside the window, held Er's sister-in-law's hand, looked into Li's sister-in-law's eyes and said, "Lanniang, why did you say this?"
Second Sister-in-law Li shook Brother Li's hand in return, leaned her face against Brother Li's shoulder, and said softly and slowly: "The eldest brother is not Aye's biological son, but he was raised by Aye, and he can become a queen." I still followed the path of a martial artist. Seeing that the eldest brother and sister-in-law are planning to let Hutou also follow the path of a martial artist."
Brother Li rubbed the hand of the second sister-in-law Li because she had been working since she was young. The old man listened carefully to what Li Ersao said.
"You and Sanniang are brothers and sisters from the same father and mother. My sister passed the test today, and I am happy for her. I am a girl with no abilities, but my sister is different. She is a capable person with great compassion."
Hearing this, Brother Li already understood what Sister-in-law Li wanted to say, but Brother Li did not interrupt her and listened carefully to what Sister-in-law Li was saying.
"I know you are sincerely happy for my sister-in-law, but Erlang, Aye and Aniang are so good to my sister-in-law. I am jealous of them. You are also Aye's biological son, and you are also I studied medicine with Aye, and you also passed the alliance's assessment in one go."
"Lanniang, I know, I know everything." Brother Li patted Sister-in-law Li's hand and comforted her. It also interrupted Second Sister-in-law Li's voice that was getting louder.
Although this is not in the same courtyard, it is already quiet late at night, so it is okay to speak in a lowered voice. Second Sister-in-law Li’s voice became much louder according to her emotions. Second Brother Li was worried that she would be picked up by the neighboring courtyard. Brother Li, who is practicing martial arts here and has a good hearing, heard something.
Realizing that her voice was a bit loud, Second Sister-in-law Li quickly shut up. Second Sister-in-law Li was not really jealous of Li Sanniang, but felt aggrieved for Brother Li. Born to the same Aye and Auntie, because Li Sanniang is an old girl with high talent, Li's father and Li's mother pampered her since she was a child. Normally, Li's mother is a pretty good water master. Fair enough.
But today, because Li Sanniang succeeded in the examination and became the first female doctor in Chang'an City, Li's father drank wine during dinner for the first time and talked a lot about Li Sanniang. It's a matter of childhood.
Father Li's heart and eyes and face were filled with joy that he had a successor, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the base of his ears.
You know, Li's father is a doctor himself and is very good at maintaining health. He believes that wine is not a good thing and can mislead people's minds. That is, on special days, major happy events, or during festivals, It's just a drink or two when the family gets together.
Li Ersao has been married into the Li family for more than ten years. He has seen Li's father drinking no more than five times.
The year after Second Sister-in-law Li got married, on the day Brother Li successfully passed the exam, Father Li didn’t drink either.
People's hearts are made of flesh. Sister-in-law Li didn't think anything bad about Li Sanniang. She just felt sorry for her Lang Xu and didn't get the favor from Aye Auntie. That's why she asked Brother Li this question in the middle of the night. .
"I have always complained. Before I reached the first place, my talent was not as good as Sanniang. One time Aye praised Sanniang and compared it with me. I couldn't help it. I got angry and got angry with Sanniang on the spot. Sanniang, who was only eight years old at the time, was so frightened that I cried. br>Second Sister-in-law Li didn’t expect that Brother Li would cry when he got angry.
"On the second day, Aye must have listened to my grandma's advice. He actually came to me and listed all the good things I did in his eyes from childhood to adulthood. Lan Niang, I, Aye, told me that I It’s amazing to turn over after three months of birth.”
Sister-in-law Li has given birth to three children, so she knew that the baby would turn over after four months, but she didn’t expect that Li’s father, who is usually serious, would turn over. I can still remember this kind of thing.
"So, Lan Niang, I have stopped complaining for a long time. Talent is a given. Although I don't have the high talent to practice medicine like Sanniang, I am very content. I like it. I go to the mountains to collect herbs, I like to interact with people, and I also like to prepare medicinal materials. I like the days I spend in the medicine cabinet. My Sanniang told me before that I can try growing medicinal materials in the future, but I don’t know if I am really good at this. Not a bad talent."
Brother Li turned his head, looked into Sister-in-law Li's eyes and said seriously: "So, Lan Niang, you don't have to feel bad for me, I am very happy. She is a little partial to Sanniang, but she is not bad to me either. Now that I have you and my son-in-law, I have long stopped demanding Aye and Aniang’s preference.”
Li Er’s sister-in-law nodded and approved of Li Er. What brother said, I also heard Brother Li say: "Lanniang, you have to be conscientious. If it weren't for Sanniang, we wouldn't have gotten the thousand taels. We have so many young men in our family, so we don't have to save more." If Sanniang succeeds in growing medicinal herbs, a lot of money will come to her family.”
With beautiful thoughts, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li fell asleep.
British Government House, Qingjing Garden.
Xu Jingzhen sat on the bed and meditated, but his heart did not calm down.
Ever since he received a letter from Wudang Mountain telling him to let nature take its course, he has never used the copper coins in the tortoise shell for divination again.
Today is an auspicious day, suitable for divination, so he made a divination just now.
But the result of the hexagram is not good, it is still the same as before, there is fate but no fate.
Xu Jingzhen’s heart was filled with turmoil and he didn’t know what to do.
My dears, I'm sorry, it's a little late today.
Tomorrow is Saturday, I wish everyone a wonderful weekend~
