"Auntie, what happened next?"
"Later, life will go on, and I will take you to make a living by washing and sewing for others.
But it was only more than a month, and the city gate After falling, the enemy entered the city, people in the city were panicked, and there was a small disturbance. I closed the door tightly and wanted to wait for the Tang army to come out to maintain the situation.
I was really made to wait, but it was already three days. What happened next?
I survived by hiding in the cellar I dug earlier at home.
When I came out of the cellar, there was no one left in the city.
At that time, there were dead bodies everywhere in the city, and there was no way to live in it.
The officials gave the news that the remaining people could follow the army returning to Chang'an to register in Chang'an, or they could choose to use pension money to register in the state capital next door.
I chose to go to Chang'an. ”
At this point, everyone understands the choice made by Mother Li.
After all, Li's mother was an orphan and a widowed mother at that time. If she chose to use the pension money to register in the state capital next door, it would be a child holding gold to live in the busy city, and it would be a common man's crime to be pregnant with a jade.
So, it was the right choice for Mother Li to take Brother Li, who was less than two years old at the time, all the way to Chang'an City to settle down.
"Before I left, I thought about going to the matchmaker's wife to talk to her. I went to ask the officials. The officials only said that the war had just ended and it was not yet peace. They advised me. It’s better to wait honestly and follow the group to Chang’an.
But I didn’t leave any message at that time, so I just left.”
At this point, Mother Li looked up. Li Dalang said seriously: "So, Hutou, if you go there, if someone comes to find you, you can confirm it, but your aunt found it?
If so, write a letter to your family; if not, just pretend that the world is like this and protect yourself outside. ”
So, at this moment, when Li Dalang faced Lianshi Guo’s words, he was already 70% certain in his heart that this Lianshi Guo’s daughter-in-law should be her own Aye, also known as Matchmaker. His half-sister is his eldest aunt.
“Guo Tuan Lianshi, I have a question for you. "
" Just ask, just ask. "
Li Dalang looked at the small statue in the hands of Lianshi Guo, and then looked up at Lianshi Guo: "Can you tell me the name of Lianshi Guo's wife?
Can I meet you if I want to? "
"Papa", Commander Guo directly slapped Li Dalang on the shoulder, "Easy to say, easy to say!"
On New Year's Eve, the soldiers will have a three-day holiday in the military camp. On New Year's Eve, can you go home with me? "
Li Dalang naturally did not refuse. Before leaving the tent, Li Dalang specially asked for the small portrait and looked at it carefully several times before returning it to Guo Tuan Lian.
So, today, At night, Li Dalang returned to the tent and lay down with his eyes closed, he really didn't fall asleep.
The reason why he didn't fall asleep this time was not because he was worried about the Li family in Chang'an, but because he was worried about going to Guo Tuanlian's home to recognize his relatives.
Time flew by so fast that before Li Dalang could think clearly, it was New Year’s Eve.
Li Dalang walked out of the gate of the military camp carrying the four gifts he had bought a few days ago. As soon as he came out, he saw the training envoy Guo Tuan standing next to the carriage on the right.
Next to Commander Guo Tuan stood a boy about the same age as Li Sanlang with a childish face. Li Dalang guessed that this was the youngest son of Commander Guo Tuan.
As they got closer, after Li Dalang saluted, he heard Envoy Guo Tuan Lian say: "I'm riding a horse. You, Vice Envoy Wan, and this young man of mine should go in the carriage."
Li Dalang naturally responded to these words. The young man was very discerning. He saluted Li Dalang first, and without waiting for Li Dalang to return the salute, he reached out to take the gift in Li Dalang's hand. He looked at Li Dalang with a smile on his face and said, "Excuse me." Brother, I'll come." Li Dalang was a little uncomfortable with this title, but there was a high probability that he was really his cousin, and he couldn't refuse this kindness.
I could only respond vaguely and followed the young man into the carriage.
While the carriage was on its way to Envoy Guo Tuanlian’s home, Deputy Envoy Wan was very kind and told Li Dalang the situation of Envoy Guo Tuanlian’s home in detail.
Guo Tuan Lianshi and Matchmaker are a young married couple. Yes, Matchmaker is five years older than Guo Tuan Lianshi.
Deputy Commander Wan did not tell the story, but roughly explained it to Li Dalang.
"Sister-in-law, she has four sons with the regiment commander, and this is the youngest."
The young man sitting next to him was unwilling to listen to this, and hurriedly said to Li Dalang : "Cousin, I'm not that one, my name is Guo Jiang."
Wan Deputy Envoy smiled and continued to say to Li Dalang: "Guo Dalang has already married a wife and has children. His family is not here, but in another place. Inside the border city.
Guo Erlang is among the border troops outside our city. He is already the brigade commander.
Guo Sanlang is about the same age as you, but because he is not proficient in martial arts, he has been living with his maternal wife in the next state capital. He is a scholar.
This is Kuo Silang. "
"Uncle Wan, my name is Guo Jiang! "
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Ambassador Guo Tuan also called a few people outside.
When Li Dalang got out of the car with the gift, he saw that the carriage had stopped. Outside a small shop.
"It's a shop owned by my family, let's go in quickly."
Li Dalang followed Guo Tuan Lianshi for only two steps before running out of the shop. A woman wearing a silver hairpin and indigo blue clothes ran out of the shop. , I saw that there was a small vermilion mole between the woman's eyebrows!
It’s the matchmaker!
She is Li Dalang’s eldest aunt!
The matchmaker ran to the door of the shop and saw Li Dalang. The matchmaker stopped and stood in front of the threshold looking at Li Dalang. Within a few breaths, the matchmaker burst into tears and her whole body was filled with sadness. .
Li Dalang was stunned. At this moment, he really didn't know what he should do, so he had no choice but to do nothing and just stand upright at the door of the shop holding the gift.
Before Guo Tuanlian could offer words of comfort, the matchmaker came up and hugged Li Dalang, shouting: "Boy, good boy, looks like, really looks like!
A Yeah, yeah, that’s what he looks like, that’s what he looks like.”
Of course, the resemblance between father and son or grandparents and grandchildren is reasonable and common.
But the matchmaker’s determination is probably due to her decades-long problem.
Li Dalang was stiff all over. He felt that the matchmaker was really sad and really happy to see him, but Li Dalang really didn't know what to say or do.
In short, the scene was a little awkward for a while.
In the end, Guo Tuan, the trainer, stepped forward and pulled the matchmaker away. At this time, Li Dalang felt that the outer layer of the clothes on his shoulders had been wetted by the matchmaker's tears.
"Stop crying, on this great day, where should I cry?
Hurry up, wipe your tears, and welcome my nephew in." (End of Chapter)
