When I woke up, I was fine

The next day Li Jiancheng came to look for the eldest lady again, and now Cao Li and Guan Lengyan have moved to the newly bought house in Chang'an City.

Cao Bohang came almost once a day, and each time he came to talk to Guan Lengyan, ask if there was anything he needed, or if he needed their husband to come forward, because he was a low-key person, and no one had noticed that he came here often. Leng Yan advised him not to come here often, as long as he came more often, he would always attract the attention of interested people, and recently it was also the time when Tang Guogong's mansion was discussing marriage with this side. .

When Li Jiancheng came, he was warmly welcomed by the servants of the whole house. The reason was that Cao Li and Guan Lengyan were locked in the room and arguing.

The reason is that Guan Lengyan told Cao Yang how the recent buildings of the Sui Dynasty were different from those of the Han Dynasty and Jin Dynasty.

When it comes to the palaces of the Sui Dynasty, we have to talk about the Renshou Palace. Guan Lengyan said that outsiders said that the first emperor was diligent and caring for the people, but finally revealed his true colors in the end.

"In the 13th year of Kaihuang, he asked Yang Su to build a palace in Qishan. This is the Renshou Palace. In order to please him, Yang Su really cut mountains and filled valleys. He conscripted tens of thousands of people to build the palace. The sound of wailing is endless day by day. , more than [-] people died tragically. When the news reached the palace, the first emperor was furious, but after seeing the Renshou Palace, he immediately changed his words and praised Yang Su, and didn’t mention Yang Su’s drive away of the peasants. From then on, in Chang’an In the middle of Renshou Palace, twelve palaces were built one after another along the road. How can such a person be called loving the people?"

Cao Li nodded his head, acting as if he had suddenly realized.

At this moment, Guan Lengyan couldn't help attacking Cao Mengde again.

"So, some people don't look at what is said outside, but must look at what they did during the period from the end of their last years to the time before they died. Some people have been treacherous all their lives, and when they die, their mother-in-law and mother order their wives and concubines to share Fragrance selling shoes..."

This is not to say that when Cao Mengde was dying, he asked his wives and concubines to live in Tongque Terrace and let them make some shoes to sell outside. Don’t keep the good incense at home, burn it quickly, everyone took it back and lit it , save waste.

This is the famous selling shoes for selling incense. Of course Cao Li knew what happened when Cao Mengde was dying.Hearing Guan Lengyan say this, of course she couldn't help it, and retorted, "That's better than some hypocrites. Some people say that brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes. They don't even care about their own family members. How much they care about outsiders is just some hypocrites. Hearing this, a foolish person would immediately burst into tears, bah, if I were Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi, I would immediately slap him with a big ear scraper, and see if he still dares to say that women are like clothes."

"Uncle Liu Huang is a loyal man..."

"Hey, you don't even believe this. If he is really a loyal man, he is so good at running for his life. Why didn't he bring the emperor with him when he ran away?"

"I tell you……"

"There are also people who killed their own wives to entertain him, and entertained him with meat. He still praises such people."

"It's a rumor, it's nothing at all. It's true that your master killed Lu Boshe's family. If we take wolf-heartedness as an example, your master may not be any better than Uncle Liu Huang, bah, that's right. Uncle Liu Huang is not as wolf-hearted as your master."

Cao Qian wanted to say more, but a servant woman came to report that it was the eldest son of the Li family who had arrived.

The two had no choice but to cover up the topic, rearranged their clothes, brought tea, and chatted calmly like a mother and daughter.

When Li Jiancheng came over, Guan Lengyan acted like the rumored mother-in-law who gets happier as she watches her son-in-law.Smiling, he pulled Li Jiancheng to his side, and stared at him from head to toe. Seeing that this young man had already begun to look beautiful, with some of his rising vigor, he felt very satisfied.

Once she is satisfied, what she shows is to keep sending things, "I got a few pieces of good satin a few days ago, take them back and ask your mother to make clothes for you, by the way, there are also some good accessories, which are just right for you, Let them bring them together, and you bring them back today. I heard from the lady that you are practicing riding and archery recently, and our family has a batch of BMWs, you can pick one back later..."

Cao Qian couldn't help but kicked Guan Lengyan with his little feet, telling her to pay attention, it's almost enough, what should I give you?Now that there are so many things sent out, and I haven't got what I want, I think I'm at a disadvantage.

Li Jiancheng refused again and again at the side, how could Guan Lengyan send the things back to him, so he asked Li Jiancheng to take them away with a firm attitude.

After the three of them sat down, Li Jiancheng asked, "What were the madam and the eldest lady talking about just now?" The maid in the mansion felt that the two of them had quarreled, and tremblingly dared not look around.

"We're talking about the past of Renshou Palace, and by the way, let's talk about an anecdote about the late emperor's time."

Li Jiancheng showed a very interested look, Guan Lengyan naturally couldn't show that she was so familiar with the court situation, so she picked up the things in the harem and talked about it.

"Speaking of which, your family is still related to Queen Lonely. Your grandmother and her are sisters, and their fourth sister is the queen of Northern Zhou. The two families became more close. The daughter of Queen Lonely, Yang Lihua, married the prince of Northern Zhou. Later, The crown prince ascended the throne, and he didn't live long, leaving behind a young son, the late emperor took power as the head of the country, and finally..." In the end, the orphan and widow were forced to hand over the jade seal, and it was the eight-year-old little emperor who took the country .

Guan Lengyan didn't continue to say, "In the end, Lonely became a queen, and lived a happy life with the first emperor. They all said that they were deeply in love as husband and wife. Now it seems that things like blood can't be faked. It really is the same line. Our current emperor loves beautiful women so much, it is also inherited from the late emperor."

Cao Qian has been sleeping for the past few decades, so he is not very familiar with these past events, so he couldn't help but pretend to be a child and asked: "Didn't it mean that the first emperor and his wife were deeply in love, and the emperor doesn't love the queen now? How can it be said that blood is related?" Cheng?"

"These questions are too complicated, you children don't understand, it's just that after the death of Queen Lonely, the late emperor favored Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua."

Li Jiancheng also smiled slightly at Cao Qiang, saying that the first emperor and his wife had a deep love, because the first emperor was a little afraid of guilt, and in some places he was completely afraid of the lonely queen.In the early years, it was not that the first emperor did not favor the beauties in the palace, but the Lonely Empress found a reason to kill them one by one.The first emperor loved beauties no less than the current majesty, but the present Empress Xiao is not as capable as her mother-in-law.

These are not unheard of things for the rich and powerful families in Chang'an City.So Li Jiancheng also knew about these palace secrets.

But now Mrs. Guan can talk about it easily, so it can be seen that the Cao family or Mrs. Guan's natal family are not only farming in the countryside, but are always keeping an eye on the situation in Chang'an.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to the son of himself and the eldest lady in the future, with such a foreign race and such a family, but this boy has grown into a dandy, so it can only be said that this boy is born with a bad taste , even if it is natural, I have to break him back.

Having said so much, Guan Lengyan took a sip of water, "By the way, eldest son, I haven't asked you yet. What's the matter with us when you come to our house today?"

"If you didn't ask, I almost forgot. The yellow flowers will be in full bloom in a few days. I would like to invite my brother and sister to go out to enjoy the yellow flowers together."

Guan Lengyan was quite satisfied, "This is what you should do, you young couples, you should go out and have fun more..."

Before finishing a sentence, Cao Li pretended to be shy, covered his round face with two chubby hands, stomped his feet, and led his maid to hide behind the screen.

Guan Lengyan laughed happily seeing her like that, and then said to Li Jiancheng, "Don't worry about that girl, I have something to ask you, your father sent that matchmaker over and over again, and I will listen to whatever you say I don’t understand, I’m still thinking about it, it’s inconvenient for my wife to talk to your father, and I want to ask your mother out to talk about it. What is your family’s plan?”

Of course Li Jiancheng knew what his father's plan was, so he stood up and said to Guan Lengyan sincerely, "Our family is struggling now, and my father naturally hopes that I will get married earlier, but he is afraid that it will hurt you and the eldest lady, so he wants to quietly The two of you have settled the matter, and when the time comes..."

"At that time, what will people say about our eldest lady? You are a good child, and I will not speak harshly to you. You should also know that I am only an eldest lady and a child. Is it possible that our family's ten-mile red makeup will be sent to you at night? Family? It’s not a wife who secretly hides and marries.”

Li Jiancheng lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt in front of Guan Lengyan, "It's true that you have wronged my lady, but from the bottom of my heart, I am willing to spend my whole life with her and be beautiful. The lady came into our house Men'er, I will bear all the honor and disgrace in the future, and I will definitely not let the eldest lady be wronged."

Guan Lengyan thought for a while after listening, "Get up, remember what you said today."

Then I looked back at the screen, "I'm just such a child. I just want her to be carefree for the rest of her life. I don't care about these external things. I just worry that my child will be wronged. Our mother and daughter are not that bad To be reasonable, I know the current situation of your family. If I was afraid of getting involved, I would not agree to my daughter to marry you at this time. I also know how your father's wishful thinking was dialed. My child is still young , even if you are engaged now, it will take a few years before you can enter your house. You go back and tell your father to send over the treasures handed down from your family, and our family will send the dowry to your family. After the matter is settled, we will find a good day in a few years, and then I will give the two of you a proper and prosperous business."

The marriage finally made substantial progress. Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, and his brows and eyes became more handsome because of his happiness. "Madam agreed to this matter?"

"I agreed to you because you promised me that you would treat my daughter well and not let her be wronged. It's not because of your family status or the glory of your ancestors."

Li Jiancheng nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will take good care of the eldest lady for the rest of my life, and won't let her suffer any grievances."
