I have a backstage in Datang

Princess Changsun chuckled, and said: "It's obviously a great initiative, and it's obviously good intentions. How can I prick my ears like this after you say it out of your mouth?"

Li Shimin's mouth was stiff, and he said forcefully: "I just don't like him playing tricks."

"How can you be clever?"

Princess Changsun gave him a flattering look, and said with a coquettish smile, "I think our brother-in-law's method is very novel."

Li Shimin stretched his face longer than a donkey, and said, "Why are you calling me brother-in-law? You haven't written your horoscope yet!"

He turned around abruptly, glanced at the village head, his face suddenly softened, and said softly: "These women and children are done with work, Xiuning is even busier."

Princess Changsun also looked at the head of the village, and said softly: "I want to go over and help. Do you also mean that?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then nodded happily, but he obviously wanted to go to help, but he stubbornly refused to admit it, just said: "Let's just go and have a look."

Although he said so, he raised his feet hastily, ran to the village head in a blink of an eye, and stood at the edge of the crowd with a complex expression.

At this time, Zhaoning was busy, holding a large spoon in her hand. Whenever women and children came to the cauldron, she would fill them with a large bowl of thick porridge.

Her face was full of happiness, her head was wrapped with a piece of coarse cloth, she was like some ordinary peasant girls, greeting people with a cheerful voice.

She kept filling people with food, kept asking those women and children, and asked repeatedly: "This sister-in-law, is there enough to eat? That aunt, be careful, swallow slowly, don't worry..."

She has a smiling face to everyone, and there is no trace of dominance of the Goddess of War. Her mouth is extremely gentle, and she keeps telling everyone, saying: "If everyone is not full, come and ask me for a meal at any time. My family Tianya said, Eating and drinking are the greatest things in the world..."

Those women and children nodded repeatedly, holding big bowls to eat deliciously.

Zhaoning also had a sweet smile on his face.

Li Shimin stood on the edge and watched, feeling pity for no reason. He looked at his sister's sweaty head, and murmured involuntarily, "Xiu Ning..."

Zhaoning's body froze obviously, and he turned his head as if in disbelief.

The next moment, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other.

The three most powerful people in the world, the first prince and the first female marshal of the Tang Dynasty, did not see each other for two years, but the place where they met was a small village.

Chapter 73 [Gu Tianya, you took away our royal flowerpot]

A strong surprise burst out from Zhaoning's face, as if he couldn't believe it, he exclaimed, "Second Brother?"

Then she saw Princess Changsun next to her, and her surprise was even more indescribable. The big spoon in her hand fell with a bang, and her face was full of disbelief, and she exclaimed again: "Sister-in-law?"

Like a gust of wind, she rushed over in an instant.

Li Shimin looked at her rosy face and the fine sweat on her forehead. For some reason, he suddenly felt angry and said furiously, "You are a dignified man... to do this kind of rough work, sister, you are here to suffer this kind of work!" crime!"

Unexpectedly, Zhaoning didn't hesitate, instead it seemed to be a matter of course. Her small face was obviously curious, and she asked Li Shimin, "Is there something wrong? Is what I do not good? My family Tianya said that eating and drinking is the right thing to do. The biggest thing in the world..."

Li Shimin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, but felt that his chest was congested.

"It's Gu Tianya again, why is it Gu Tianya!"

At this moment, he seemed to be very disappointed. It felt like a flower that was carefully cultivated at home was taken away by some shriveled kid along with the flowerpot.

It's a pity that Zhaoning couldn't understand the bitterness of the second brother, but instead had a pretty face full of joy.

She suddenly saw her relatives today, and she was obviously very excited. She happily walked to Princess Changsun, stretched out her hand to grab Changsun's arm, and chirped: "Sister-in-law, do you see that this is my family's property, isn't it special? sharp……"

Gujia Village is just a small village, how big can it be to show off?However, when Zhaoning spoke, his face was full of pride, as if he was introducing the most precious thing in the world to Mrs. Changsun.

With a soft smile on her face, Princess Changsun listened quietly to her sister-in-law's twittering. She is a woman and can understand women's minds, so she kept nodding her head and praised Zhaoning's words, saying: "Not bad, really good, your family Property purchases are booming, and my sister-in-law feels jealous when she sees it."

Zhaoning immediately beamed with joy, and said very proudly: "This is all the work of my Tianya."

Princess Changsun nodded again, and praised again: "Very good, very good."

Li Shimin's chest was blocked when he heard it, feeling that his brother had been neglected, and said angrily: "It's only a small village on the left and right, how much atmosphere can there be?"

Zhaoning immediately became unhappy, and retorted: "What's wrong with Xiaocun? Second brother, do you think you look down on Xiaocun? My family Tianya said that although a sparrow is small, it has all internal organs. No matter how many major events in the world, they all start with small things. My family Tianya also said, Ten-thousand-foot tall buildings rise from the ground, even if you have great ambitions in your chest, you have to learn to do it in a subtle way, my family Tianya also said..."

She talked about my family Tianya one by one, and countless truths seemed to be gushing out from the ground. Li Shimin was dumbfounded when he heard it, and almost didn't know his sister.

"Is this still my Xiuning? When did she become so eloquent?"

But Zhao Ning looked proud, raised his head and said, "I go to night school every day, and I learn a lot."

Night school again!

Li Shimin has heard this address for the second time.

He really wanted to ask, but felt that he couldn't hold back his face for a while, so he talked for a long time, talking about it from left to right: "Where is that kid you mentioned? Why can't he be seen? If he is as good as you said, Why don't you come here to do these things yourself, but let you work and suffer here, why can't he hide elsewhere to enjoy the blessings?"

As he was talking, he seemed to get angry again. He looked at the big pots and the big spoon for the rice. Thinking of his sister who was sweating all over her head, she snorted coldly and said, "That's outrageous." , let the women do the work."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning stared, and also snorted coldly: "Second brother, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to show off your sister? If you want to put on airs, then you have chosen the wrong person."

Zhao Ning was able to become the number one female handsome, her character is not a submissive person, her gentleness is only because of Gu Tianya, she is not so good-tempered towards her brother.

Li Shimin was obviously stunned, as if he couldn't figure out why his sister was like this.

Seeing Zhaoning's angry face, he suddenly said: "Why is he being lazy? He is also busy, okay? There is another big pot by the riverside, which is specially used to cook yellow mutton soup, which is for children. He takes this matter very seriously, he does not allow anyone to intervene, and he works hard every day."

"Food for the children?"

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly opened his mouth and asked curiously: "Just now I was checking at the post station and found many children lined up, each carrying a small bag, and there seemed to be a faint sound of jingling inside... What is this saying? Could it be children Are you coming to work too?"

"That's not true!" Zhaoning seemed to be proud again, and said, "My Tianya has the ability to make the children earn a living."

Li Shimin was even more curious, and couldn't help but said: "Those children are so young, the oldest is no more than ten years old."

The implication is self-explanatory, what can such a small child do?

But Zhaoning smiled proudly and said proudly: "What can I do? Of course it is picking up scrap iron. Second brother, don't look at the children, they are better at picking up scrap iron than adults. My family Tianya has four big ones. The furnace smelts two to three hundred catties of refined steel every day, and all the materials come from scrap iron picked up by children."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered, and he said thoughtfully: "The children picked up scrap iron and exchanged it for yellow mutton soup? This is not a bad move, it can be regarded as a charity for children."

Unexpectedly, Zhaoning shook his head and said, "Wrong, the yellow mutton soup is free. The children pick up scrap iron, and my Tianya will count the money for them. At least five copper coins will be given, and some children can even earn money." As many as ten words."

Li Shimin was stunned immediately, his face was a little unbelievable, and he said in astonishment: "Children? Ten coins a day?"

He is in charge of the Tiance Mansion, and he controls the Nuoda region. He is no stranger to people's livelihood, and even knows how much a grown man earns.

A child can earn ten Wen a day, which is higher than the wages of a strong man.

He suddenly frowned, as if he was displeased with something, and suddenly asked: "As far as I know, Gu Tianya was born in a poor family. Just a month ago, he had trouble eating. But now he spends a lot of money on food." Money is like a prodigal. Sister, tell me the truth, does he spend all your money. "

If Gu Tianya is a guy who eats soft food, then he has to take care of his younger sister.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning was suddenly happy, and said with a smile: "I knew it, you must be suspicious. Since you want to be honest, then I will tell you the truth, second brother, you must not have imagined it. Although my family Tianya has no money, but He has the ability to make money. Look back at the post station construction site over there. Do you see some red novelty bricks and stones? They are his handwriting. He hired people to build a brick kiln, and the red bricks are fired. Now It's selling well."

"Red brick?"

Li Shimin subconsciously turned his head and looked at the post station construction site over there.

Zhaoning nodded, and stood aside and explained: "Red bricks are slightly worse than blue bricks, but the craftsmanship is extremely simple. A small kiln can produce 500 yuan of bricks a day, pack them into a car, and sell for a hundred yuan. The expenses of hiring people and the consumption of charcoal fires, the net profit can reach sixty or seventy yuan. We have built five kilns, and we can earn three to four hundred yuan a day. This income just pays the wages of children, and occasionally some The balance is left, how about it, is it surprising..."

Li Shimin will certainly not be surprised.

After all, it is only three or four hundred Wen, which may be a lot of wealth for ordinary farmers, but if it is placed on Li Shimin, it is such a small number.

Even if it is placed on Zhaoning, it is also a very small number, but Zhaoning has a proud face, with a kind of proud pride.

Li Shimin took a deep look at his sister, now he can be sure that his own flowers were really taken away by a bum, even the pots and flowers were taken away.

I can't get it back.

Never get it back!

He suddenly took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suppress the depression in his heart, and said: "Let's go, take me to see, I really want to know, what kind of kid is it that can make my precious sister Let go of everything, willingly put on the commoner wooden hairpin, one mouthful of my family's Tianya, one mouthful of harshness. This Gu Tianya, I must meet..."

The emperor of the ages in the history books is now the number one prince in the Tang Dynasty, the majestic general of the Tiance Mansion, who fought against the world's anti-kings to the death. He has experienced countless battles and met countless people...

However, no matter how heroic he is, nothing can make him more curious than this Gu Tianya.

This time he traveled thousands of miles to Hebei, he mainly wanted to meet Gu Tianya.

He is obviously a boy from a poor background, why are there so many strange things?

Chapter 73 [Xiu Ning, tell me the truth]

"Zhaoning, why are you here? Have you finished your work?"

"Hey, you brought your friends over!"

"Then you entertain me first, and my side will end right away."

"It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon. Guests, don't be angry, this broth has to be served to the children while it's hot, hehehe, let's have a chat first, I'll be over soon."

On the bank of the Gu family village, beside the big river, there was also a cauldron standing, and Gu Tianya was busy beside the cauldron.

He also carried a large spoon in his hand, and kept feeding those children.

When he saw Zhaoning bringing someone over, he first waved his hand to say hello from a distance, then continued busy serving the meal, and did not stop working to greet him.

Although he didn't go to greet them, he did not forget to apologize, his tone was very gentle, and he nodded to everyone.

Here, Zhaoning was afraid that Li Shimin would feel that he was not taken seriously, so he quickly said in a low voice, "Second brother, don't be angry, you see he is really busy."

Li Shimin glanced at Gu Tianya from a distance, then swept his eyes over a group of children, suddenly smiled warmly, and praised for the first time: "No hurry, wait until he is busy. I think those children are hungry. It's a decent thing to do..."

He just finished speaking, and suddenly his face was startled, as if he had discovered something strange, he said in disbelief: "The person who helped him light the fire, why does he look like Brother Shubao?"

"Hush, don't say it loudly!" Zhao Ning said hastily, lowering his voice, "Tian Ya doesn't know him, he just thinks he is a man fleeing famine."

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback, subconsciously lowered his tone, but he was still surprised, and couldn't help whispering again: "Qin... Shubao, why does he do this job? The dignified general of the Tiance government, accompanied by a kid to light the fire here?"

Zhaoning glanced at him, and explained softly: "I can't figure this out, but General Qin is very stubborn, he insists on following Tianya, he almost refuses to leave even a single step."

After she finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly understood.

He looked at Qin Qiong from a distance, sighed with emotion, and said softly: "Shandong Qin Shubao, loyalty is unparalleled!"

How smart Zhaoning is, he immediately understood the words, and said in a low voice: "Second Brother, General Qin Qiong was sent by you, right? Hee hee, you finally did something caring for me."

Li Shimin nodded slowly, then shook his head suddenly, and said solemnly: "It's not a dispatch, but a request!"

As he spoke, he looked over there again, looking at the yellow-faced man squatting on the ground and burning the fire. He felt inexplicable emotion in his heart, and couldn't help but whispered again: "The reason why he did this is because he promised me. A dignified general , you can stoop down and set fire to others, the so-called thing of being entrusted with loyalty, I am afraid that no one in the world can match Qin Shubao."

Zhaoning also looked over there, and said sympathetically, "He follows Tian Ya almost every step of the way, and only leaves at night. He seems to be helping Tian Ya with work, but he is actually protecting Tian Ya's safety."

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "There are dozens of warriors in the entire Tiance Mansion, but in terms of unparalleled bravery, Brother Shubao is definitely second to none. It is precisely because of this that I asked him to help, and he is there to protect that brat , Ordinary assassins will never get close to that kid, if the aristocratic family dares to play tricks, then they really underestimated me, Li Shimin..."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said to Zhaoning: "Although Gu Tianya makes me very uncomfortable, he is the person you want to entrust after all. If this is the case, I have to protect him. If he commits a crime Mistakes, we can scold and beat, but outsiders can't, because they don't deserve it."

Outsiders can't, they don't deserve it!

The tone of these words is flat, but there is a sense of domineering. This is Li Shimin. He is a calf-protecting guy in his bones. Although he has always declared that he is very unhappy with Gu Tianya, he secretly arranged for Qin Shubao early on. , can be called Datang's No. [-] pet sister madman.

Zhaoning was very moved, couldn't help but whispered, and said solemnly: "Second brother, thank you."

In fact, she also has a valiant general under her command, who can also be transferred to Gu Tianya's side for personal protection, but Li Shimin made this move, which made her feel a strong family affection.

No matter how strong a woman's personality is, she is still weak and sensual in her bones.

Zhaoning didn't know why, suddenly her nose felt a little sore, and the circles of her eyes became red, and she said as if choked up: "Second brother, thank you very much. My sister was ignorant before, and she complained to you in my heart. I hope you don't take it to heart. , my sister will not play her temper in the future."

This is the meaning of burying the hatchet.

Li Shimin was overjoyed at once, but he was suddenly saddened by joy, and his eye circles turned red and he said, "You and my brothers and sisters, why are you here. Fortunately... fortunately, Gu Tianya brought you back to life."

The dignified No. [-] prince suddenly burst into emotion. He seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he quickly covered up and evaded, saying, "I'll go over there and ask the children what they eat."

After speaking, he raised his legs and walked towards a child holding a bowl.

Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, then quickly raised their legs and walked over.

Princess Changsun suddenly sighed softly, stretched out her hand to hold Zhaoning's arm, and said softly: "Xiu Ning, you left a suicide note back then, which really scared everyone to death. Your second brother hid in the room and cried a lot. It took a full two days without a drop of water, those days were really hard, the whole Tiance Mansion seemed to be covered by a cloud, no matter which minister wanted to give advice, it would make your second brother fly into a rage."

She paused as she spoke, and suddenly seemed to remember something, her tone suddenly became difficult, and she said guiltily, "Sister Xiuning, sister-in-law has to apologize to you, you should remember my brother, he has always wanted to Half of the reason why you have misunderstood your second brother is that he has done many things. It is he who keeps instigating Chai... Chai... that Chai Shao, who wants to get your power through marriage. Sister Xiuning, this is all my brother's fault, and I, the sister-in-law, am really caught in the middle and are not human."

She apologized again and again, with guilt all over her face, but Zhaoning shook her head slowly, and said softly: "I don't want to mention the past, they made mistakes, and I made mistakes. They made mistakes in trying to seize power, and I made mistakes. With a stubborn personality, since everyone is at fault, let's just expose this matter."

As he spoke, he took Princess Changsun's arms, and persuaded him in turn: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to apologize to me, we are relatives, how can we be too far away? My Tianya once told me that tongues and teeth still fight. At that time, people should not be too lonely in this world, family members will always be the harbor behind us, so we should be magnanimous so that the family relationship will not be distorted."

Princess Changsun was very moved, she couldn't help but look up at Gu Tianya, and said, "My brother-in-law is really a nice person."

When she called her brother-in-law, Zhaoning blushed immediately, and said a little coyly, "I haven't written my horoscope yet, sister-in-law, please don't tease me."

"Is it?"

Princess Changsun suddenly laughed lowly, put her head close to Zhaoning's ear, and said in a low voice, "But I saw that your legs are open, is this also called the horoscope?"
