Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Seeing that Empress Changsun misunderstood her, Li Li explained with a blushing face, "I just took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek..."

Empress Changsun calmed down a lot, but she still couldn't beat her. She punched her forehead again, and said with regret:

"You, let my mother tell you what to say about you! Since you have already returned to the palace, don't go anywhere, just stay in the palace and be your princess!"

"That won't work!" Li Lizhi said with her little head shaking like a rattle drum: "I have an appointment with Zhang Dun, and I will stay home for half a day at most. If Zhang Dun doesn't see his daughter back after half a day, he will definitely be in a hurry .”

"..." Empress Zhangsun held her forehead speechlessly. Are you selling yourself completely? You are no longer a princess, and you are determined to live with an ordinary person for the rest of your life?

Li Lizhi seemed to hear the heartfelt voice of Empress Changsun, and she said with a firm voice like an oriole: "Mother, my daughter has already decided that she will never marry in this life!"

Empress Changsun was silent for a long time, and then said: "If you still want to be with that common man, within this month, you must obey your mother's orders and not leave the palace!"

Hearing this, Li Lizhi blinked her eyes, and said in a joyful tone, "Mother, do you agree with your daughter's marriage with Zhang Dun?"

Empress Changsun said angrily: "Your mother didn't say that! Don't make up your mind here."

"As for Zhang Dun you mentioned..."

Empress Changsun wrote solemnly on her fair face:

"My mother wants to send someone to test him. If I want to become Datang's son-in-law, whether his character and talent are as outstanding as you said."

"If you pass the test of my mother and find that he is an ignorant person, my mother must not agree!"

Li Lizhi's little head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, with a smug smile on her face: "Don't worry, Auntie, the husband my daughter chooses is definitely much better than Changsun Chong!"

"Where do you have the confidence to say that?" Empress Changsun looked at her dumbfounded.

The eldest son of Changsun Wuji's family, Changsun Chong, is well-known in Chang'an City as a talented scholar in civil and military affairs, and has won the admiration of many women.

Li Li's quality is good, not only did she look down on her, she also used that ordinary person to belittle Chang Sun Chong as worthless.

Empress Changsun didn't take her words seriously, but raised her palm, touched her little head lightly, and said with distress:

"Isn't it difficult to live outside the palace for the past six months? I don't even have any decent clothes. I'm still wearing winter clothes. I'm not afraid of getting bored. Go take a rest and change into a set of clothes that you should wear."

"Aniang, I'll go first." Li Lizhi responded obediently, and was about to leave the Lizheng Hall when she suddenly thought of something, turned her head to look at Empress Changsun and said:

"By the way, mother, you said you would send someone to test Zhang Dun, who do you plan to send?"

Empress Changsun said indifferently: "Your father."

"Send Dad to test Zhang Dun?"

Li Lizhi's eyes widened a little, and she said anxiously: "Mother, why did you send him? Zhang Dun's temper is not good. If I send Dad, what if..."

At this moment, a masculine male voice, full of sullen anger, sounded outside the hall:

"What if?"

"Are you still afraid that being a father is not as good as an ordinary person?"

Li Lizhi looked in the direction outside the hall, and saw a burly middle-aged man wearing a royal robe and black gauze on his head. It was her father, the current son Li Er.

"Daddy!" Li Lizhi called out obediently.

Li Er glared at her, "You also know that your father is in the palace, and he will not return to the palace for half a year. Do you know that your father was about to dig Chang'an City three feet for you?"

"As the princess of Changle, you disobeyed the imperial decree, left the palace and escaped marriage, and married an ordinary person. If you were someone else, it would be enough to lose your head several times!"

"You—" Li Er said, raised his palm and gently stroked Li Lizhi's little head, and said with a slightly choked voice, "I'm so worried about my father."

Li Lizhi's beautiful eyes were also red, and she lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Ah, my daughter will not dare next time."

"Can you stop testing Zhang Dun, he has a bad temper..."

Hearing the first half of Li Lizhi's sentence, Li Er was a little relieved. When he heard the second half, his face turned green with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"You put it that way, you have to test him even more as a father. He has a bad temper, and he has a bad temper as a father! He abducted my favorite jewel for half a year, and he can't give me an explanation?"

Li Changzhi hurriedly said, "Father, what my daughter said nonsense just now, Zhang Dun is actually a very nice person, he always thinks of his daughter."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden bang, and something fell from the cloak.

Empress Changsun and Li Er lowered their heads and stared straight at a small ax that fell from the cloak, then they all looked up at Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi: "..."

The expressions of Empress Changsun and Li Er changed.

Li Er bent down, picked up the small axe, and asked, "Lizhi, what is this?"

Li Lizhi said in a low voice, "It's an ordinary small axe."

Li Er laughed angrily, "I want you to tell me what this is? What I'm asking is, why did you drop this thing in your clothes? You come back when you come back, what are you pretending to do?"

Li Lizhi whispered again: "My daughter said that our house is outside Chang'an City. He was worried about what to do if something happened to her when she came back, so he asked her to take it with her."

bang!Before she could finish speaking, another thing fell out of the cloak she was wearing.

Empress Changsun and Li Er looked down again at a dagger that fell, and then raised their heads to stare at Li Lizhi.

Li Lizhi blushed a little, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Dun said that a gentleman hides his treasures in his body and waits for the opportunity to move."

Empress Changsun: "..."

Li Er: "..."

"Is that how you explain this sentence?" Empress Changsun laughed angrily, "Is that why he thinks about you?"

"Wei Niang now feels more and more that Zhang Dun must be tested!"

Li Er agreed with a hum, glanced at Li Li and said:

"You are not allowed to go anywhere in the palace. For my father, I will go to Zhang Dun now, and I want to see what kind of virtue he is!"

After finishing speaking, Li Er waved his robe abruptly, left the Lizheng Hall with a straight face, and headed towards the outside of the palace.

Li Lizhi looked anxiously at Empress Changsun and said, "Mother, hurry up and persuade my father!"

"What do you advise your father?"

Empress Changsun shook her head, "He is doing his duty as a father, why should you persuade him? Mother let your father test the Zhang Dun you chose, all for your own good!"

"But……"

Li Lizhi stomped her feet, and didn't know what to say in a hurry. If A Niang sent someone else, it would be fine if Zhang Dun's heart was overwhelmed.

But let Aye go, if he has a psychological shadow, then what to do.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Lizhi angrily and amusedly, the girl, comfortingly said: "Your father is sensible."

Chapter Three

Li Er changed into casual clothes and brought Li Junxian and a bullock cart full of goods to Yongyangfang.

Looking at the cold workshop, thinking that Li Lizhi lived in such a dilapidated place for more than half a year, Li Er couldn't help feeling sour, and even more angry.

This Zhang Dun!

I don't even know how to treat her better!

With a dark face, Li Er walked up to Zhang Dun's house with an attitude of asking questions rather than a test, and patted the door heavily in person.

"Who?"

Accompanied by a sound of astonishment, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and a young man in a green shirt appeared in Li Er's eyes.

Pretty handsome!Li Er looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you Zhang Dun?"

Zhang Dun also looked Li Er up and down, and asked curiously, "I am, what's your name, Mr. Lang?"

This time, when he came to test Zhang Dun, Li Er worked hard to know the alias Li Lizhi used back then, without revealing her previous identity, and said, "Li Changzhi is her second uncle."

Zhang Dun was taken aback, and hurriedly spread his palms to invite him in, "It turns out that he is the elder of Chang Zhi's family, please come inside."

Seeing his attitude, the anger in Li Er's heart eased a lot, but he didn't give him a good face, and led Li Junxian into the gate with a stern face.

bang!Zhang Dun, who was leading the way, suddenly dropped something from his sleeve.

Li Er's eyes were fixed, and he stared straight at a small ax that fell.

Li Junxian's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to draw the saber, but found that the saber was on the ox cart and had not brought it with him.

Li Er gave Li Junxian a look, telling him not to be nervous, looked at Zhang Dun and asked, "What is this?"

"Axe." Zhang Dun said truthfully.

"..." The corner of Li Er's mouth twitched, you are really sincere.

"I'm not asking what it is, but why are you still carrying an ax at home?"

Picking up the small axe, Zhang Dun said: "The ancients said that a gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the opportunity to move. I am learning from the ancients."

Li Er looked at him meaningfully, the ancients taught you this?Is this what the ancients meant by what you said?

What else is waiting for the opportunity to move, it is obviously waiting for the time to move!

You are planning to take the initiative!

Li Er didn't think much, and continued to follow Zhang Dun towards the house.

bang!Suddenly, something fell out of Zhang Dun's other sleeve.

Li Er and Li Junxian stared down at the dagger that fell to the ground, and at the same time looked up at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun said patiently: "I am called a doubly gentleman who hides things in his body."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun picked up the short knife and continued to ask him to go forward, but dared to take a step, a dagger fell out of his sleeve again.

Looking at the scrutinizing gazes cast by Li Er and Li Junxian, Zhang Dun picked up the dagger without blushing, and said solemnly: "This is called drawing inferences from one instance."

"..." The corners of Li Er's eyes twitched, you wrote this on a piece of paper and burned it to the Palace of Hades, do you believe ghosts or not?

Fortunately, it was really gone this time, Li Er and Li Junxian heaved a sigh of relief.

When passing the courtyard, Li Er looked around.

Although Zhang Dun lived in a rented place, it was obvious that he was a clean person.

The courtyard was spotless.

The hall was also tidy, and there was a bookshelf with some books on it.

On the book, there is a wooden photo frame with a piece of white paper sandwiched inside. On the white paper is a sketch portrait of Li Lizhi.

Li Er was taken aback, this painting was too real, like seeing Li Lizhi herself!

Zhang Dun watched Li Er staring straight at the portrait he made for Li Lizhi, took a wooden stool from the side and handed it to him, and said with a smile:

"We will be a family in the future. You are the long-standing second uncle, so I will call you that in the future?"

Li Er's face also softened a lot, and he understood that although Li Lizhi lived a poor life here, based on a portrait, it could be seen that Zhang Dun treated her very well.

After Li Er took the Hu stool and sat down, he snorted coldly and said:

"You and Chang Zhi are not married, you and I are not a family, today I came to look for you on behalf of Chang Zhi's parents, do you know why?"

Zhang Dun shook his head.

Li Er turned his head and glanced at Li Junxian, and after he nodded and walked to the ox cart outside the house, he continued: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this is the rule since ancient times."

"Chang Zhi sneaked away from home for half a year, and when he returned, he said he found a husband outside. What do you make Chang Zhi's parents think?"

"So, the elder parents, they sent me, the second uncle, firstly to meet you, and secondly, to test your mind."

Zhang Dun was stunned: "Test me?"

At this time, Li Junxian came in from the outside, holding two jars of wine in his arms, and put them on the middle copy between Zhang Dun and Li Er.

Li Er unpacked both wine jars, pushed one to Zhang Dun, looked up at him and said:

"Changzhi is a good child. If she is entrusted to someone else in this life, how can her parents feel at ease?"

Zhang Dun glanced at the wine jar, then at Li Er, not understanding the meaning of the wine.

Li Er said indifferently: "I like drinking, so my first test is very simple, it is to test your drinking capacity."

"If you can drink me down, I will give you a good word for you when I go back."

Your test is a bit unreliable!Zhang Dun looked at him suspiciously, how could he test his drinking capacity?Do you consider yourself an old man?You are just his second uncle!

Zhang Dun pondered for a few seconds, then got up and walked to the back of the bookshelf, took out two wine jars of the same size, put them in front of Li Er, and said bluntly: "Your alcohol is not strong enough, drink mine."

Li Er stared at him blankly, "How do you know my wine is bad if you don't drink it? Do you know that my wine is unique in Chang'an City!"
