When I woke up, I was fine

Chapter 70 On the Road

Li Xiuxiu's marriage was relatively urgent, because Cao Qian hadn't gone to find Leng Yan for a long time.

Whether it is the Li family or the Chai family, they are all families with names and surnames. Although the marriage in the middle is relatively urgent, it cannot be perfunctory.

Just Li Xiuxiu's wedding dress can make Cao Qian so worried that he can't sleep.

Although outsiders paid attention to letting the bride sew the wedding dress by herself, but because of the time rush and Li Xiuxiu's ability to do such delicate work, Guanyin's servant girl had to bring someone to sew it for Li Xiuxiu.

Recently, because of the change of seasons, Guanyin's servant girl has been sick.And no matter what was missing, they all came to Cao Li for it.The gold thread used in the clothes alone weighs two catties.Not to mention having to sew some embroidery on it.Embroidery also uses gold thread.

In addition to the gold thread, there are also pearls on the phoenix crown and Xiapei.

Pearls are not easy to find. Cao Li searched for a long time, either they were not round enough, or the color was not good-looking. Finally, after thinking about it, he took off all the pearl jewelry in his hand.

Cao Qian didn't do this for anything, but because he felt that he and Li Xiuxiu got along better for a while, and they could be regarded as friends. Since a friend needs this thing, there is no need for him to hide it.

This made Guanyin's maid very admired, so in her daily behavior, she always put Cao Li first.

Li Jiancheng was also very touched, but because Cao Li has always given generously to his brothers, everything that should be said before has been said, Li Jiancheng can only keep this matter in his heart silently, thinking that if he becomes prosperous in the future, he will definitely get it A lot of pearls are given to Cao Li, and she can use them as she likes.

After marrying Li Xiuxiu in a lively manner, Cao Li felt relieved, tired all over, and then lay on the bed unwilling to move.

Just when she was thinking about resting for two days, Li Jiancheng pulled her up.

"If you have nothing to do in the past two days, go to your mother-in-law to say goodbye, and we will leave in a few days. And all the things that need to be cleaned up will be cleaned up, and those that can be taken away will be taken away, and those that cannot be taken away will be sent to the treasure house now."

Cao Qian knew the priority of the matter, so he got up quickly at this time, and when he came to Guan Lengyan, Guan Lengyan knew that Cao Qian was leaving Luoyang this year, but because the two lives were relatively long, there was no such thing as parting from both of them. Take it to heart.

Instead, Cao Li played with Guan Lengyan's son Cao Jin all afternoon.

This little guy is now learning to crawl, kicking on the blanket with two short legs vigorously, crawling forward quickly, laughing while crawling and looking back at Cao Qiang, waiting for Cao Qiang to make a little movement After that, he screamed and crawled forward quickly, afraid that Cao Qian would catch up.

After playing all afternoon, seeing that it was getting dark, Cao Li went back in a carriage. When he got home, he heard Li Jiancheng tell him that the whole family would go out in three days.

The whole family originally moved here from Chang'an, and they didn't have much attachment to Luoyang. The same was true for the guards and servants who followed at home. When moving, everyone put their things on the carriage and left Luoyang with the flow of people. city.

Li Yuan can be regarded as a high-ranking official now, plus some relatives and old friends, everyone came to see him off.

Not far away, I met Li Jiancheng's friend and followed him. The two of them, father and son, went out to socialize with others.Cao Li was left in the carriage with Guanyin's maid, Yuanba Yuanji.

Avalokitesvara sat upright in the innermost part of the carriage, and the two windows were occupied by Yuan Ji and Yuan Ba. They lay beside them and looked out, sometimes laughing happily. In fact, I don't have much feeling, and the two of them don't have a full understanding of the road ahead.

From their point of view, they followed their parents to other places from Chang'an, and then came to Luoyang where their elder brother and sister-in-law lived. There was no concept of hometown at all.

At this time, Guanyin's servant couldn't help but ask Cao Qian who was sitting on the side, "Sister-in-law, where are we going?"

"Taiyuan, Jiancheng told me just now that we are going to Taiyuan."

"Is Daddy going with us?"

Cao Qian nodded. He originally said that he was going to another place to take up his post. I don't know what Li Yuan was thinking, but two days before his departure, he changed his position as an official to Taiyuan.

Guanyin's maidservant sighed, Cao Li thought she still hated the women behind, "Don't worry, we'll move out when the time comes, after all, Jiancheng and Shimin and his brothers are already married, so we should move out Parents lived together."

When the Guanyin servant girl heard this, her eyes widened in surprise, "But I'm the only one in our family..."

"I told Jiancheng about this matter. He said to find two mansions next to each other and break through the wall to make a gate. Then you will live in your house, and then our two families can pass through the middle. The two people below If my younger brother wants to live in our house, he can stay at our house. If he wants to live in your house, he can also come to your house. It is said that there are two families, but in fact it is the same as before in Luoyang. They live in almost different courtyards, and they are all on call. Arrive."

Guanyin servant girl nodded, after all, Li Shimin was not at home, so she was worried that Li Yuan would not let her come out to live.

"Brother and sister-in-law are more thoughtful and will do it when the time comes."

After thinking about it, he decided to write a letter to Li Shimin about what he had seen and heard along the way, so he couldn't help but sit next to Yuanba at this time, and the two of them looked out together.

It was already close to late autumn outside, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and the leaves fell. When the wind blew, those tree trunks swayed, as if they were about to fall down, but miraculously, they stood back up again.

And when the wind blows, it blows to the face like a knife cuts, and the leaves that fell on the ground flutter with the wind, flying in circles and flying into the distance.

Cao Qian couldn't think of anything to see in the withered grass outside, but the three of them watched with relish until after saying goodbye to the people who saw them off in the afternoon, Li Jiancheng, who was drunk, came to the side of the carriage.

When Li Jiancheng came to the side of the carriage, he first touched Li Yuanji's little face with his head out, and he was relieved to find that his little face was not cold, and scolded Li Yuanji to retract his head.

"Hold your head back quickly, draw the curtains, there is a brazier inside, turn it on a bit, it's too cold outside, and it will get colder when the carriage starts running after a while, and you won't even be able to marry a wife after your ears are frozen. "

Li Yuanji was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head and covered his ears, "Yuan Ji is obedient, Yuan Ji will marry a wife in the future."

Having said that, Li Yuanba, who was sitting next to him, clapped his hands and sang a nursery rhyme, "The old sparrow has a long tail, married a wife and forgot her mother..."

Cao Li didn't care about their little brothers, so he lifted the curtain hanging from the door of the carriage, and asked Li Jiancheng who was standing outside, "Can we go now?"

Li Jiancheng nodded, and then asked the people in the carriage if they had eaten snacks and drank tea just now, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I will ride horses and follow the team to check back and forth today. If there is anything wrong with you , Just call the servant next to you, it’s better to stay at home when you are away from home, you will definitely be wronged on the way, just bear with it, and you will be fine when you arrive in Taiyuan.”

After Li Jiancheng finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his body and handed it to Cao Qiang.Then he hit the horse and went far away.

Cao Li lowered the curtain, felt the carriage shake slightly, and sat next to Guanyin's maidservant.

He stuffed the dagger into his sleeve.

Li Yuanba was a little dissatisfied after sitting for a while, and wanted to go down to ride with his brother, but it was too cold outside, and Cao Li and Guanyin's maid refused to let him go down. The two of them pulled Li Yuanba together, and Li Yuanba couldn't break free immediately. When he was strong enough, he was afraid that he would break free and jump off the carriage immediately, bringing his sister-in-law down. If the two sister-in-laws were injured, the elder brother would definitely teach him a lesson.

So he was unhappy along the way, except when he was a little bit obedient when eating snacks, he lay down and sat crookedly in the car at other times, feeling uncomfortable no matter what he did.

Seeing how uncomfortable Li Yuanba was at this moment, Cao Qian couldn't help asking someone to bring a pony, and wrapped Li Yuanba like a ball, with nothing exposed except his eyes, so he let him go down with confidence. up.

Li Yuanji didn't intend to go down. He was small now, and he could fall asleep just by tilting it in any place. At this time, with the shaking of the carriage, he had already fallen asleep.

Guanyin's maid took down the steamed buns that were roasting on the brazier, broke half of them and gave them to Cao Li, "It seems that we haven't gone far today."

Just as he was speaking, the outside wind howled, blowing up the curtains by the window, and pouring cold wind inside, Cao Li hurriedly turned around and picked up the cloak that was padded behind him, folded it twice and covered Li Yuanji, and then Hurry up to the door and raise the curtain, and look at Li Yuanba who was walking forward with the carriage.

Li Yuanba shrank his neck and sleeved his hands, but he didn't want to come back.

Cao Qian had no choice but to sit back again, "It's always good to be at home, but it's difficult to go out for a while. This is true. I don't want to leave Luoyang from the bottom of my heart."

The reason why Cao Qian didn't want to leave Luoyang was that he felt that he had many pieces left in Luoyang.Guanyin's maid thought that Cao Li was reluctant to part with Mrs. Guan.

In fact, I was also reluctant to part with my uncle's family, thinking about my brother who I hadn't seen for two or three years, I couldn't help feeling sad at this moment. "Although we are a wealthy family, we eat well and live well, but like everyone in the world, our family is now scattered and we can't get reunion."

And because the sky is high and the road is far away, there is no news of relatives, and I am worried about it, and I know that troubled times are coming, and the future is unknown. Thinking of this, I feel that it is not easy to live.

The two of them sighed at the same time, and Cao Qiang felt that he had nothing to say. He didn't have anyone he cared about in his heart, unlike the maidservant of Guanyin, Cao Qian felt that her illness was just out of his imagination.

But seeing Guanyin's servant girl like this, she couldn't say much, so she had to sit silently with her.

The Guanyin servant girl was sitting next to her, and after thinking for a while, she wiped the tears from her cheeks, "People say that I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world. This is what I will do all my life. I hope my child will be safe and sound in the future. When you are old, you die."

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If Li Yuan and his son miss, the fate of the whole family will be hard to say.Cao Li held the hand of Guanyin's maidservant, and he didn't know where to start persuading him.

He said dryly, "Don't worry, the children will definitely live better than us in the future."
