There is no phoenix

The lame Taoist said: "You don't have to be sad, Li Daoyou. Everything in the world will be divided if it is united for a long time, and it will be united if it is divided for a long time. The reunion of your father and daughter is just around the corner, so you should be happy!"

All of a sudden, Aunt Liu came over with some snacks, and greeted warmly: "Two masters, sit down for a while, and I'll prepare the meals."

At this time, Xichun also led Liu Rufeng out, stepped forward to salute the lame Taoist and Li Shoubei: "I have seen Master!"

Seeing Xichun's big belly, the lame Taoist hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be like this! You know, Master, I don't pay attention to these vain etiquettes. You and Xianglian are doing well. I didn't catch up with you getting married, and neither did the eldest one when he was born. I am lucky to be the second child, and she is also lucky to meet my master!"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly laughed and said: "Master is right, the doctor said that this child will be born soon."

The lame Taoist took a look at Xichun, and said with a smile, "Xianglian, I guess, this time it must be a girl!"

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Master is so powerful. Mr. Zhang from Tai Hospital said that she is a daughter."

After Liu Xianglian finished speaking, she looked at Li Shoubei and said, "Master Li, the Chang'an King born to Mrs. Li is a few days away from my son, and this time the imperial doctor said that the two children are also within a few days. It's been a few days since Wang Da, this time Li Niangniang will definitely give birth first."

Li Shoubei sighed: "I don't want to think about anything. I just want to see my daughter and her children. I don't know if I can!"

Liu Xianglian said: "Of course, as I said just now, Li Niangniang and the Taishanghuang don't know how much they want to see you! The Taishanghuang is still sending people around to inquire about you. It's still the master who can find you. I don't know Master Li. Where have you been all these years?"

Li Shoubei said: "I first traveled in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then went to Sichuan to become a Taoist priest. Last winter, a Taoist friend in Sichuan introduced me to Wudang Mountain."

Liu Xianglian said: "No wonder the emperor sent people to search for you in the south of the Yangtze River for several years. The emperor became the emperor and said that when Li Niangniang gave birth to her confinement, she would personally accompany Li Niangniang to Jiangnan to find you. You have eaten After resting here, I will go to Beijing Jingwang Mansion and tell Beijing Jingwang that he will let you enter the palace to meet Li Niangniang."

After hearing this, Li Shoubei quickly expressed his thanks: "Then thank you all, I just hope that I won't bring you any trouble."

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "Master Li, don't worry, although the Supreme Emperor has retired to Yunyang Palace, the Emperor is benevolent and filial, King Beijing and the emperor's mother and compatriots are the most trusted people of the Supreme Emperor. We are all very good."

After lunch for a while, Liu Xianglian asked the lame Taoist and Li Shoubei to rest first, and rode to the Beijing Palace by herself.

Because the civil servants had to prepare for the spring, Shui Rong was relatively free these days, so he went back to the mansion for dinner almost every day at noon.

Now Daiyu and Shui Rong's greatest joy is to tease the children.Shui Lin is three years old, very lively and cute, because she spends most of her time with Shui Ruoning and the concubine, and doesn't spend much time with Dai Yu.And Shuixiao Shuizhen is only five months old, and likes to lie down and turn around the most. Daiyu likes children, so she asks the nanny to take them to Qingzhuyuan.

Concubine Toffee and Shui Ruoning both like children, and there are several children in the mansion right now, making the elders very happy.Baoqin has just given birth to a daughter for about ten days, and she is still confinement, and the concubine side takes someone to take care of Baoqin.Every morning, Daiyu took Shuixiao Shuizhen, the nanny, to play with the concubine, and went to see Baoqin by the way.

In the afternoon, because Shui Ruoning and Concubine Tai were going to rest and brought Shui Lin with them, Shui Xiao and Shui Zhen were both in the Qingzhu Garden.

The two brothers Shui Xiao and Shui Zhen are in good spirits, and they don't rest until late afternoon every afternoon.Shui Rong went back to the mansion for dinner these days, and only then did she realize why Daiyu lost weight after giving birth to her second child, because it was not easy to take care of a child.

Daiyu loves the child very much. Originally, most of Shuilin was taken by the nanny at the concubine's side.Although there is a nanny now, seeing that the twin brothers like to play so much and are so interesting, Daiyu patiently accompanied them, changing the habit of resting in the afternoon.

The same is true for Shui Rong. At first, he thought it was fun to play with these two little people, but after playing for more than an hour, they quickly fell asleep. Sometimes their fists were still in their mouths, but he was going to be on duty soon, but he was not going to be on duty. , also lie down and sleep badly.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, the child no longer wears a hat, and the twins have to wear the same clothes. Shui Xiao and Shui Zhen look so much alike, Daiyu and Shui Rong can't tell the difference if they don't look at the names embroidered on the clothes.

Shui Ruoyang and Shui Ruoning have discussed with Daiyu that the two children can choose a surname Lin, but how should the two brothers choose?Looking at the two identical brothers, Daiyu could only think this way: let's talk about it when they are older. There will naturally be differences between the two brothers when they grow up, right?

When Liu Xianglian came to Beijing Palace on horseback and was taken to Qingzhu Garden, Shui Rong and Daiyu were playing with the two children in the big cradle under the eaves.

Shui Rong met Liu Xianglian, smiled and said: "Xianglian, you came just in time, look at my Xiao'er Zhen'er, can you tell the difference as an uncle?"

Liu Xianglian stepped forward with a smile, looked at the child in front of Shui Rong, and then at the child in front of Daiyu, and said with a smile: "How can we tell the difference? They are exactly the same, there seems to be no difference."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "My sister Yiyi's mouth is smarter than a god. When she worshiped the ancestors in Qingyang, she said that my second birth gave birth to an identical son. Now it has been verified. Xianglian, don't talk about you. When I turn around, I You can’t tell the difference unless you look at the names on their clothes.”

Daiyu said with a smile: "When the child grows up, there will definitely be changes, and then we can distinguish."

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian couldn't help asking: "Can't the princess also tell the difference?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "The brothers are indeed too similar. I have to look at the names on the clothes to tell them apart. They are both looking at me when they are called."

Shui Rong suddenly recovered and asked: "Xiang Lian, come here at this time, is there something to do?"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, do you remember Li Shoubei from Chang'an? He is Li Niangniang's father."

Shui Rong said: "Why don't you remember? Yesterday, my father asked me if I had any news about him. What? Xianglian, do you know his whereabouts? Did your master send you a letter?"

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "My lord, he is with me now, and it was my master who came with him."

After hearing this, Shui Rong was pleasantly surprised and said, "Xiang Lian, what you said is true? Sure enough, your master has great powers. My father sent people to look for it for so many years and there was no news. As soon as you wrote to your master, you found it and brought it with you." , I’m going to tell my father and Empress Li right now.”

Daiyu laughed and said, "Brother Rong, look at your temperament, why are you in such a hurry? Father and Empress Li must still be resting now."

Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "What the princess said is true, but I really want to tell you this first. My lord, my master and Master Li are resting now, it's not too late to go later."

Shui Rong thought for a while and hurriedly said: "Forget it, Xianglian, we will go half an hour earlier. Tell me first, how did you find this Li Shoubei, your master? My father has almost turned all the temples in Jiangsu and Zhejiang over the past few years. I came here, but I didn't get any news from Li Shoubei."

Liu Xianglian said: "My lord doesn't know, that's because Li Shoubei didn't become a monk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang at all. He said that he went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang first, but he didn't become a monk. He traveled there to relax. Later, he went to Sichuan to be a Taoist priest. Last winter, he was a Taoist friend in Sichuan. That’s why I introduced him to Wudang Mountain.”

Shui Rong listened and said: "So that's the case, then why is your master going to Wudang Mountain so hard? Isn't he in Gusu Tiger Hill?"

Liu Xianglian said: "My master is in Huqiu, but he went to Hunan once after receiving my letter. On the way back, he happened to meet a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain, so he went there by the way."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "This really confirms the saying 'If you break through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it'!"

After Shui Rong finished speaking, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he said to Daiyu: "Dai'er, let the nanny watch over the child, you go and rest. These two boys, the more they play, the more energetic they become. If they continue to make trouble like this, I will take care of them when they grow up." Clean them up!"

Who knew that the two children thought that Shui Rong was talking to them, so excitedly they danced and laughed.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Brother Rong, look at the two of them and think you are teasing them."

Shui Rong smiled and scratched Shui Xiao's nose with his fingers, but Shui Xiao grabbed Shui Rong's fingers with both hands and put them in his mouth.Shui Rong smiled and moved upwards gently, this kid actually held onto Shui Rong's fingers tightly with both hands, and the front half of his body was lifted by Shui Rong so that he would not let go.

Liu Xianglian saw it interestingly, and said with a smile: "My lord, this kid is not simple, but he has strength."

Shui Rong looked at Shui Xiao with a smile and said, "Xiao'er, you are only a few months old, how dare you compete with your father?"

After Shui Rong finished speaking, his fingers continued to lift up.
