The winter sun was warm, and a big red makeup carriage gradually drove out of Ciyu Town, heading for a magnificent mansion fifteen miles on the outskirts of the town.The retirement place of the second lady Li, Jingyuan.The courtyard of this house is located on a hill, the hill is surrounded by flowers and trees of the four seasons, at this time, the winter plum is covered with snow and blooms, red as dansha powder like cherry, green as beautiful jade, white as clotted cream.At the foot of the hill, the outermost layer is planted with evergreen pines and cypresses in all seasons, and the proud snow and pine are against the strong wind, highlighting the vitality of life in the white expanse.The big red makeup carriage drove into the pine forest, and a childish boy was confronted with a childish boy standing alone under the pine tree, and a light cotton jacket was covering Kuiwei's body, which made people worry that he would be cold.The little guy who drove the car belonged to the Li clan, and when he saw the young man in the cold wind, he immediately turned around and said through the car curtain: "Feng Xiannu, the grandson of the second old lady Li has been waiting in front for a long time. ”"When did the second old lady Li have a grandson?
How did I not know?
”Carriage, Li Haitang was surprised, he had never heard of the second old lady Li having a grandson from the mouths of Zhuge Yi and Patriarch Li.I think that the second old lady Li lost his wife at a young age, and he didn't leave a son and a half daughter.Later, after the death of the old patriarch Li, although the second old lady Li was upright and not confused, he could have remarried his wife, but he was grateful for the love with his deceased wife and did not want to remarry, so he moved out of Li's Nanfu on the grounds of providing for the elderly, and came to the hills fifteen miles away from the town to build a house and live here alone.The little guy told the past of the second old lady Li while driving the carriage, and Li Haitang was even more confused.Dead wife, no son, where is the grandson?
The little girl smiled: "The second old lady Li is merciful, when she went to Jiangnan to sell goods in the past, she picked up an outcast of homeless people on the way back.The foundling child was dying of hunger and was very sick, and the second old lady Li searched for famous doctors in the nearest town to diagnose and treat the foundling, and finally moved the sky. ”"I see."
Li Haitang nodded, with this kindness of saving the outcast, her thoughts about the second old lady Li changed a little."
Ahead is Feng Xiannu's car?"
The childish boy who had been waiting for a long time did not have the slightest impatience, and when he saw the big red makeup carriage gradually coming, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully.The little girl jumped out of the car and saluted: "The villain greets the son, and the car is indeed the first daughter."
Ask Childe to lead the way. ”"Okay."
The boy turned and whistled his horse, turned on his horse, and glanced back at the carriage meaningfully.Tighten the reins and shout "Ride!"
”and rushed to the pine and cypress.The little guy called "ouch", and said sadly: "The son of the second old lady's family is still so stinky and tempered, let him lead the way, not in a hurry, why do you run so fast?"
”"Leave him alone.If you know the way, go to the monastery. ”Through the curtain of the car, Li Haitang told the little girl to continue on his way.The little guy said helplessly: "Yes, the villain obeys." ”Hop on the carriage and continue to the house on the hill with a whip.Today is the birthday of the second old lady Li, although it is not a whole birthday, but the juniors in the Li clan have come to celebrate the birthday in person, and the clansmen have also sent birthday gifts to put in a separate shed outside the courtyard.The lords and sons of the eight clans all came to pay their respects; The ladies of the various provinces were strict with the second old lady Li not to come, so they prepared to send the old servants of the family to express their gratitude.The quiet courtyard, which has always forbidden women to enter, made an exception for Li Haitang today.When the big red-makeup carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Jingyuan, the childish boy who had returned from riding a horse first had already stayed outside the door to greet him.The seriousness of his face could not tell his likes and dislikes, but from the standing posture behind his hands, he could feel that he was very dissatisfied with the arrival of Li Haitang.With the old housekeeper's voice of "the old slave asks for peace to the first daughter", the second old lady Li hurriedly went out, glanced at the young man who stood like a pine and cypress, and scolded: "You are a worthless thing, why don't you welcome the first daughter when you come?"
Have you forgotten all the etiquette and rules I have taught you every day?
”The boy pursed the corners of his lips and silently walked to the side and stood.The second old lady Li was so angry that she squinted her eyes, turned her head and put on a respectful smile, stepped forward to lift the curtain of the car in person, and said with a smile: "The first daughter came to the cold house, I hope to forgive me for the sin of being late." ”"Second old lady Li, when I am a relative of the emperor?"
Li Haitang was helped by Wu Yinling to the car, holding a big burden tightly in his arms, and said: "Second old lady Li is less polite, come into the house and see if you are satisfied with the birthday gift I brought." ”"Satisfied, satisfied.No matter what birthday gift my ancestor gives, I am satisfied. ”The second old lady Li flattered and said, personally led the way in front, and asked Li Haitang and Wu Yinling to take him to the warm pavilion where he usually enjoyed paintings and listened to music.The young man followed behind, staring closely at Li Haitang's back.From the gate of the front yard to the warm pavilion of the east side courtyard, the courtyards and verandahs, every scenery is wonderful, the guests who come to pay homage to the birthday are in groups, raise a glass and drink, and when chatting and see the second old lady Li leading a delicate and beautiful little girl in, they have put down the wine glass and saluted respectfully."
Meet the ancestor of Feng!""
Greetings to the daughter of Feng Xian!""
Late life, meet Feng Xiannu!"
…… The sound of greetings one after another sounded from all corners of the courtyard.Li Haitang bowed her head calmly and calmly, and her smile was enough to make the guests sigh and be satisfied.came to a remote and quiet courtyard, the second old lady Li invited Li Haitang into the warm pavilion, and instructed the young man to accompany Wu Yinling to the courtyard next to him for a birthday banquet.Wu Yinling was not worried that Li Haitang was here alone, and did not want to follow the young man.Haitang persuaded her to bring something delicious back, and her stomach was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy.Wu Yinling had to go, and before leaving, she deliberately asked the second old lady Li to take care of the begonia.There is nothing that the second old lady doesn't understand, so she agreed with a smile.In the warm pavilion, Li Haitang sat cross-legged on the hot kang, holding a big burden in his arms as if he was protecting a baby.The second old lady Li coughed lightly and said, "Little girl, you know everything?"
”"Hmm.Master and Master Ling cut down the spies and assassins of the four brothers of the Li patriarch, leaving only the nest of the second old lady Li, it seems that the master and the second old lady are ready to join forces with the second old lady Li. ”"Hahaha, smart little girl, are you really the daughter of the chestnut pot?
I can't imagine that someone like him can give birth to a child as smart as you. ”The second old lady Li sighed, why didn't he give birth to such a good child?
Li Haitang threw the big burden in front of the second old lady Li, "This is Lord Ling's most beloved baby, in order to express the sincerity of the alliance with the second old lady Li, I can't bear to cut my love and give the baby to the second old lady Li as a birthday gift." ”"Hahaha, thank you Lingye, and thank you little girl."
The second old lady opened the big bag and saw a tiger skin without the slightest flaw.The big round tiger head stared at the fierce big eyes, indescribably mighty.Carefully holding the tiger's head, the second old lady Li was overjoyed and praised again and again: "Okay!
All right!
I haven't seen such a precious tiger skin in many years.Hahahaha, what a big baby. ”"Humph!
Keep it safe, I'll come and see it at any time. ”Li Haitang warned sourly, watching the tiger skin being treated as a treasure by the second old lady Li.() Glory to the end
