Chapter 655: Letter from the Border
After Li Sanniang returned to the Li family with a cart full of return gifts from the Guo family, Li's mother and the others were surprised by the number of gifts.
"This official family is different from ours. Look, the gift in return is really real."
Li Ersao stopped here, she was really I can't find the right words to describe it.
Mother Li really felt that it was too much, but now she was just checking what was included in the return gift, and she did not imitate Second Sister-in-law Li and say it directly.
Li Sanniang glanced at Sister-in-law Li, then turned to Mother Li and said, "Auntie, look, share it with everyone in the family. Some of it will be wasted if you don't eat it."
In the remaining few days, Li Sanniang did not go out again. She only stayed at home with Lu Zhuer, and played Barbie dress-up games at home for a few days.
Haha, I just dress up Lu Zhuer at home, tie her hair, change clothes and so on.
Of course, it was not a set of clothes for Luzhu'er to put on and change out. He just took out the clothes from the closet and asked Luzhu'er one by one how he liked to wear them. The two of them matched them together. Come play.
On this day, after dinner, the whole family gathered in the main hall and side hall to chat.
Li Sanniang also asked the second brother Li: "Second brother, do you know where there are good painters here?
I would like to ask the painter to draw a few portraits of Lu Zhuer. If he can do it, I will treat him well. When the head comes back, it would be great if we all stand together and draw a family portrait."
"Then you have to go to Caizi Street to find it. Most of the shops selling calligraphy and painting on that street have it. It’s a painter.
Even if you have this idea, you have to wait until fifteen before you can say anything.
After all, it’s still in the new year, who will come out to get the job?”
< br>
Li Sanniang nodded, indicating that she understood.
Although this year's Shangyuan Festival is not as grand as last year's when Emperor Wu was celebrating his birthday, it was because the Tang Dynasty had won a battle earlier and opened mutual markets, allowing civilians to participate, and it was also said that There were rumors that the imperial court planned to organize a fleet to take the Maritime Silk Road. There were more people in Chang'an City this year than last year.
The Li family is also very happy these days, because on the tenth day of the first lunar month, a messenger sent a letter to the Li family.
This letter was naturally written by Li Dalang and Shijiu who were far away at the border.
The second brother Li who received the messenger at that time also asked the person specifically: "Brother Wang, why are you here to deliver the letter at this time?
Quickly dismount and go inside to drink hot tea and warm yourself up. "
The messenger soldier rode on the horse and found two letters from the robes beside his legs and handed them to Brother Li. "Thank you for your kindness," the messenger soldier gently patted the robes on both sides of his legs. “I’m still busy, so I won’t go in.
Hey, it’s not like the gang moved to the border with them. They went there before the new year. Seeing that it’s better, it’s not yet the new year, so I want to send a message to Chang’an.
This was originally supposed to be the beginning of spring in March, when the army would return to Chang'an to receive the reward. In this way, General Shi allowed those of us who had worked so hard to deliver the message to come here in advance.
Okay, I won’t say more, I have to go to the next one. ”
After Brother Li cupped his hands, he watched the messenger pulling the reins towards the intersection.
When Brother Li returned home, Mother Li couldn't wait to open Li Dalang's letter.
Sister-in-law Li, who was holding Korokuro and wearing thick clothes, was waiting next to Mother Li. As a mother, she was naturally worried about this person who was thousands of miles away and had not seen her for more than half a year. The eldest son's.
Of course, everyone staying at home now doesn’t want to read the letter. Even Li’s father walked from the medicine cabinet to the main hall, waiting for Li’s mother to read the letter. I can watch it for the second time. At this moment, Li Sanniang was also reading a letter, but she was reading a letter written by Shijiu.
Brother Li and the others sat aside and waited to read Li Dalang's letter, but they did not miss Li's mother's expression when she read the letter. As Li's mother's face relaxed, her brows gradually turned into a frown, and the expression on her face They became more and more solemn. Brother Li and the others looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
Brother Li wanted to ask Li Sanniang what was written in Nineteenth's letter to make Mother Li have such an attitude.
But when Brother Li went to see Li Sanniang, the expression on Li Sanniang's face at this moment was also solemn.
At this moment, the whole family knew that something must have happened, and it had to be a big deal.
No matter how long the letter is, there is still time to read it. After Li’s mother read the letter, she handed the letter directly to Father Li who was sitting at the top of the hall pretending that he was not in a hurry and waiting to read the letter.
Li Sanniang took out the second page of the letter that Nineteenth wrote to her and handed it to Sister-in-law Li. Li Sanniang took Xiao Liulang from Sister-in-law Li's arms.
In this way, after Li's father read Li Dalang's letter, he gave it to Brother Li.
A quarter of an hour later, the whole family, except for Brother Li who had already gone on duty, including Li's father, Li's mother, and Li Erlang, had read the letters from Li Dalang and Shijiu.
In fact, in the letter between the two of them, in addition to explaining their days at the border and telling them that they were safe and healthy, Li Dalang's letter focused on the matter of being hunted by the matchmaker and Guo Tuanlian. The second page of the letter written by Nineteen also mentioned this matter.
Furthermore, both of them said that in mid-to-late March after the beginning of spring, the army that had set out from Chang'an earlier should have returned. By then, the two of them should have followed the army back to Chang'an. .
He wanted to come to Chang'an to accept the praises and rewards from Emperor Wu. He would be promoted according to his military merits and paid according to his military merits. Another very important point was to transport the bodies of the soldiers at the border and bury them in the suburbs of Beijing. in the cemetery.
In the main hall, except for the sounds of Lu Zhuer, Koshiro and Kogoro playing from the side hall, there was no other sound at this moment.
Finally, it was Brother Li who spoke first: "It's getting late, so get ready for dinner.
As for what the tiger head letter said, I won't wait until the eldest brother comes back in the evening. Let’s talk about it later.”
After Brother Li said this, he looked up at Father Li and Mother Li who were sitting at the head of the main hall. Mother Li didn’t respond at all. She lowered her head and fell into it. In the memories of past events.
Therefore, Li's father raised his hand and waved, which meant that he just listened to what Brother Li said.
In this way, the people in the main hall dispersed. Sister-in-law Li hurried to the kitchen to prepare meals with Wu Qiaolan and Baoya who were already in the kitchen.
Li Sanniang held Koliu Lang and pulled Sister Li to the side hall, and put the sleeping Koliu Lang into the basket. Li Sanniang held Sister Li's hand, and the two of them were sitting together. Arrived at the dwarf.
"Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law?"
Li Sanniang shouted twice, and then Sister-in-law Li came back to her senses.
"Hey, hey, this, this, this is really unexpected."
Li Sanniang really didn't know anything about Li's mother before marrying Li's father. Therefore, she asked in a low voice. Sister-in-law Li naturally would not hide it from Li Sanniang, so she looked towards the main hall, then lowered her head and approached Li Sanniang, and whispered in her ear everything that happened here. Li Sanniang came to listen.
I read the outline. If nothing else happens, this book should be finished in about a month!
If there is an accident, it will be two months, no more than three months at most!
Recently, I have also taken time to think about what I should write in the next book, about cultivating immortality? Traveling through ancient times? Or Western fantasy?
However, there is a high probability that it will still be written as no cp.
