The husband's son-in-law

"Let me introduce to you, my eldest son, Meng Jianyun, and Xiao Meng."

Gu Zhao looked at a group of veterans attacking, smiled kindly and proudly, and said, "Xiao Meng, call me Uncle Uncle."

Dear ministers: ...

Meng Jianyun really listened, cupped his hands and shouted: "Hello, uncles and uncles."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"you are welcome."

"My nephew is so polite."

The corners of the mouths of the senior ministers were twitching, and they didn't know how to smile. After the polite greetings on the face, they returned to their positions, turned their backs, and just cursed in their hearts: What's the matter/what a good thing It all went to that boy Gu Zhao.

General Meng was actually Gu Zhao's adopted son.

The news spread within a short while. Meng Jianyun, who returned to Beijing today, was originally the central figure. The prostitutes and prostitutes of the official family are willing to be good concubines.

But now when I hear the news, the limelight is even worse. It just ran to Mr. Gu Ge.

"Think about it, Gu Zhao originally holds the power and controls the government, so the emperor can't be afraid? But our sage was focused on fighting outside, so we didn't have the time to deal with Gu Zhao, so we saved some face for Gu Zhao. Now hum."

"Gu Zhaoyizi holds the military power, he is a great general."

One click, one click.The other ministers understood in their hearts, and they all thought that Gu Zhao's good life might be coming to an end, if Gu Zhao voluntarily resigned now and returned home, maybe he could save his life to save Li's family, otherwise——

There are so many of Gu Ge's old jokes and fate.

At this time, Gu Ge's face was full of kindness, and he talked too much, "You are back, where are Brother Lin and Yuan Bao? This time I return to Beijing to receive the reward. Although Rongzhou is busy, there should be no rush to go there."

The Fan Kingdom voluntarily surrendered, and the soldiers have already been collected in sevens and eighties. After that, the people will be scattered, relocated and settled. There is no war, and the general can rest for a while. At least he doesn’t have to rush to Beijing and go back in a hurry. Garrison, for fear that there will be a war that will delay the military situation.

"I'll lead the team to go faster. I'll go back to Jingmiansheng first. Ah Lin and Yuan Bao will arrive in a few days later." Meng Jianyun said.

Gu Zhao glanced at Xiao Meng's expression. This child has grown up too. He knows that holding military power is more about respecting the Holy One. It is different if he has a family and a house. If Meng Jianyun was the former, he would be a thorn in his head. You can do whatever you want.

"Your father must be happy to know that, he will live at home when he comes back. Fu Bao misses Yuan Bao."

"Yes." Meng Jianyun answered simply.

The two had a conversation, and Gou Gui came to invite him, saying that the Holy Empress had hosted a banquet, and he asked Master Gu to go with him.Gu Zhao had a luxurious lunch for free, of course he was happy.

Meng Jianyun and Li Wubing had fought together, and speaking of friendship, they were considered dead.After the four of them sat down, Li Wubing said: "You two, father and son, don't be too polite to put on a show."

"Back when he was on the battlefield, this kid was less talkative, but he was somewhat similar to me."

Meng Jianyun got up immediately and said, "I dare not compare myself with the Holy One."

"Sit down, sit down." Li Wubing saw that after becoming the emperor, this kid changed his temperament, and he became terrified, so he couldn't help threatening and said: "Today's banquet, whoever stands up and salutes me, he will be punished. Punish him—”

Rong Ye answered: "Punish him for copying scriptures."

Li Wubing took a moment to think about it, smiled and said: "I remember, this kid doesn't like to read and write, every time Ziqing punishes people, he copies articles."

"Yes." Gu Zhao nodded, and said, "Xiao Meng, did you hear that? You just came back. That handwriting must be rotten. You should listen to the words of the Holy Queen and eat well, or you will be laughed at if you copy the article." of."

"Gu Ziqing, Gu Ge's adoptive son has bad handwriting, what does he look like?"

Meng Jianyun's tense complexion also eased a lot, and he nodded.Afterwards, the banquet was enjoyed happily. Although there were still some rules and restraints, it was not like the first one.

After dinner, Meng Jianyun went back to Li Mansion first, while Gu Zhao still had to work.

The father and son walked on the palace road, Gu Zhao said: "You don't have to be trembling, the Holy One is open-minded, and he is also a tolerant saint. I also believe in your character, and have a clear conscience towards the Holy Majesty and the Dali. .”

Meng Jianyun nodded and said, "I don't have good manners. I'm afraid that what I say or do will hurt your foster father."

"...I really grew up." Gu Zhao said with emotion, "Even without you, the adopted son, how should those officials in Beijing join me as usual, unless I step down from this position one day, but not now, I want to see."

"Look at what?"

"In a peaceful and prosperous age, Haiyan and rivers are clear, and the people are rich and happy."

Li Zhaoxi was able to enter the imperial examination and become an official.Gu Zhao didn't say it.

While talking, they reached the first gate, Meng Jianyun stopped and said, "Father, I will go back first."

"Well, come back."

Zhou Zhou went to Zhaozhou last year. Xiaomeng still had a war in Rongzhou, but he couldn't see him. Now that he is in Beijing, he is not in a hurry to go back to Rongzhou. See the scheduling of the Holy One.

However, Gu Zhao guessed that there is a high probability that he would stay there, or even go to the Fan country, just like the Nanyi before. .

Meng Jianyun led his men out of the palace, and a group of people rode horses to Li Mansion. Before they arrived, the gate of Li Mansion was already open, and the servants lined up early. Seeing this, the housekeeper stepped forward and saluted: "Little Zhou An Please be well, my lord."

"Get up." Meng Jianyun dismounted.

The butler got up to lead the way, and Meng Jianyun's subordinates had their own butlers to settle down. They were all military meritorious, and this time they came back to be entrusted with a big banquet.

Meng Jianyun went to the main courtyard.

"Stop saluting and kowtowing." Li Zhouzhou stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jianyun held up his robe, insisted on kneeling on the ground, kowtowed to Father, and said, "Meng Jianyun is back, Father."

"Okay." Li Zhouzhou helped Xiaomeng get up, and looked at it carefully, "I really grew up."

Meng Jianyun felt warm in his heart, father was like a foster father, he looked at him like a child, just like when he was a child.

"I'm going to see grandpa."

"Well, let's go together, I'll go with you." Li Zhouzhou went to his father's yard with Xiao Meng, and said, "Fubao is studying in the palace, I guess we'll get news by now, and brother Lin and Yuanbao? "

Meng Jianyun said the words again, Li Zhouzhou's smile deepened, and said: "Then you have to ask the servants to wait outside the city gate early, and the yard at home has also been tidied up. Fortunately, there is a place to live. How many times do you come back this time?" Stay for a while."

"If there is a chance, Yuan Bao can spend more time with Dad."

When we arrived at Li Da's courtyard, there was another round of gossip and emotion.

After that, when the soldiers from Toyosu arrive in Beijing, the number is complete, and the Holy Majesty will hold a big banquet.A few days earlier, Li Lin arrived in the capital with his child Yuanbao. The servants of the Li family outside the capital were waiting early. Seeing that they were escorted by soldiers and the carriage used black tires, they immediately stepped forward to inquire.

After receiving someone, the servants of Li's mansion felt at ease.

In the carriage, Li Lin came to the capital for the first time. Yuan Bao curiously asked what the capital looked like along the way. At this time, Li Lin said: "Now that you are in the capital, you can see for yourself what it looks like outside."

"Father, you must be curious too, let me open the curtain and let's watch together?"

"Okay." Li Lin touched his son's shoulder, and the father and son looked out the window at the street outside. From the hustle and bustle of people to the open and flat road, Yuan Bao's mouth naturally compared with Zhaozhou.

"Father, Jingli is bigger than our Zhaozhou, and the roads are much wider."

The roads in Zhaozhou City were built according to the original pattern, and it couldn't be as wide as Taiping Main Street in Beijing.

"But the road outside Beijing is not as wide as our road outside Zhaozhou City."

The father and son watched and talked all the way.

"People in Beijing wear a lot of clothes. Aren't they hot? I'm almost dying of heat."

"Maybe people in Beijing are not afraid of heat." Li Lin said.

At the end of July, the summer heat is at its peak in the north. In the carriage, Li Lin and Yuan Bao are dressed in Zhaozhou clothes, made of streamer silk and ramie. Along the way to the north, I saw many people from the Central Plains wearing tight clothes. When they arrived in Beijing, the father and son They all changed their clothes.

The inner garment is long-sleeved ramie, and the outer cover is seven-quarter wide-sleeved.

You must know that in Zhaozhou, Yuanbao can be done with a three-quarter-sleeved robe.

Yuan Bao thought that he had worn so many clothes, why did the people on the streets of Beijing wear more clothes than him?The fabric looked hot.

"Here we are, Da Furen and Young Master." A servant of Li Manor said outside.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Li Mansion.

Li Zhaoxi asked for leave for the past two days, and received the news early. At this time, he and his eldest brother were waiting at the gate. When the carriage arrived, he quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Yuan Bao Yuan Bao, is Yuan Bao here?"

"I'm here, I'm here, is it Uncle Fubao?"

"I am I am."

The two came back and forth, making Li Lin in the carriage and Meng Jianyun outside the carriage laugh.

The car curtain was lifted, revealing the face of a handsome little boy, eight or nine years old, with fair skin, a small pointed chin, and bright black eyes.

Yuan Bao's appearance followed those of their fathers, his small pointed chin, fair skin, and big black eyes followed Li Lin's, and his heroic eyebrows and straight nose followed Meng Jianyun's.

It was unmistakable at first glance, he was a handsome and heroic little boy.

The uncle and nephew at the top of the car and the nephew next to the car met each other and looked at each other, with smiles on their faces. Li Zhaoxi patted his nephew's head and boasted, "It's not bad, it looks better than before."

"Little uncle is also pretty."

When the Li family returned to Beijing, Yuanbao was still young and had no memory. He talked about Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, and Uncle in Jingli from his father and uncle. He knew that Uncle Fubao was very good-looking, and he loved him. He, when he was still a baby, his little uncle gave him all kinds of precious toys.

Yuan Bao remembered it all, and later he became more sensible. When the Chinese New Year came, he got red envelopes and put them in a small box, as well as his toys and rare things. He brought them with him when he came to Beijing this time, saying that he wanted to honor him. little uncle.

"Little uncle loved me when I was young, and Yuan Bao should also honor my little uncle."

At this time Li Zhaoxi took the child out of the carriage, Yuan Bao remembered the wooden box and asked for it later.

Meng Jianyun helped Ah Lin get off the carriage, and Li Lin knew what he wanted after seeing his son's small appearance. He raised his eyes and said to her husband, "His treasure box is on the seat."

"I'll get it." Meng Jianyun had long arms, didn't get in the car, opened the curtain, took the heavy box with one hand, and turned to hand it to his son.

Yuan Bao hugged his baby and said happily, "Little Uncle, it's all about honoring you."

"I also have a treasure for you!" Li Zhaoxi was very happy. He has many nephews and nieces, but it was the first time that he was treated as a real elder as "filial piety".

After Li Zhaoxi finished speaking, he looked at his sister-in-law, saluted, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, let's talk at home."

"Go home and talk about it." Lin Ge'er was also full of love for Fu Bao, and smiled softly.

The Li Mansion was lively and lively, meeting people, saluting, exchanging pleasantries, there was endless talk.Afterwards, it got even busier. Li Zhaoxi took Yuan Bao to meet his friends in Beijing, and introduced them one by one. Brother Lin is here—General Meng is a figure in the limelight.

Li Zhouzhou briefly said something to Brother Lin, and then said: "...don't be afraid, except for the banquet in the palace, the ladies of other mansions talk and do things. You can do whatever you want in Beijing in Zhaozhou. The banquet in the palace should be arranged in advance. Mammy told you when to greet people."

"Understood, Dad." Li Lin memorized it all.

Li Zhouzhou laughed and said, "It's so cute."

Li Lin suddenly seemed to be back in Zhaozhou, smiling softly and well-behaved.

A few years apart, a few years older, everyone said it has changed, but it hasn't changed much, still as intimacy as before, even if Yuan Bao can't remember Fu Bao's little uncle, it doesn't prevent the uncle and nephew from seeing each other for a long time. A bed is made.

Yuan Bao grew up in Zhaozhou, playing, eating, talking and doing things, the naughtiness of a little boy, and Li Zhaoxi, who grew up in Zhaozhou, was very appetizing.

"I was in a government school, and both Senior Huang and Senior Chen were admitted as scholar."

"They don't play much football anymore."

"Outside the cuju field, I go there first after school, and there is mung bean ice drink from the proprietress, do you know, little uncle? It is the one not long after entering the city. His mung bean ice is delicious, with milk and honey in it. "

Li Zhaoxi nodded after listening, "I know, I didn't have so many tricks at first, it was too hot for us to play football outside, my father went to his house to buy water..."

The uncle and nephew said that they were greedy, so they wanted someone to make mung bean ice to drink. Li Zhaoxi also ordered: "Add milk and honey, I will try it too."

"Bring more honey." Yuan Bao finished, "Uncle, can you bring more honey? Don't tell my father, okay?"

When Li Zhaoxi heard his nephew's request, he also loves sweets. He said like an elder, "It's okay today, but you can't use it too much in the future. Eating too much sweets will damage your teeth." What an open-minded, mature and stable elder!

"I know, Dad told me the same thing. He also said that my little uncle likes to eat bean paste buns. He used to eat three in the morning. Grandpa is afraid that your teeth will be bad and won't let you eat so much."

Li Zhaoxi: ...You kid knows everything.

Then there was a holiday in the palace - the Holy Majesty was going to hold a big banquet, and Li Zhaoxi was not in the school anymore, so the Taifus simply followed the custom passed down by Emperor Kang Jing and had a farm holiday in July.Although none of the students in the Manqin Academy knew how to farm except Li Zhaoxi, I'm afraid they couldn't tell the difference between wheat seedlings and weeds.

After the holiday, Li Zhaoxi took Yuanbao to play around, went to play football, went shopping, pulled out Zhaozhou clothes to wear, and wore the beads that Xiao Yuanbao gave him in a high ponytail. Tianqiao, the man who buys sugar for Yuanbao.

Xiao Hei is not thinking about Sichuan recently, he runs to Li Mansion at dawn to play with his eldest brother and nephew - he considers himself to be Yuan Bao's elder.Because his name is Big Brother, Yuan Bao is Big Brother's nephew, so he is his nephew.

Yuan Bao didn't mind this, because he accepted Uncle Xiao Hei's meeting gift.

As a result, there are more scenery on Taiping Main Street that do not belong to the capital. The young masters and elder brothers who came out of the mansions of Gaomen are all dressed in "unique" clothes. Conservative and reserved, not wearing any curtains, not riding in sedan chairs and carriages.

He went out on the street like a man, frank and aboveboard.

Even the young master and young lady of Prince Shun's mansion came out.

When the people in Beijing see it, no one would know that this is the only brother of Gu Ge's hometown, and only this one can make such a game. The children of high-ranking officials and ministers, even the royal children, also play together and surround each other. He is the most central figure in the crowd.

"Siyuan, listen, don't the crickets sing brighter?"

Liang Siyuan listened carefully, but couldn't tell the difference.Li Chaosi said, "Just buy them all and take them back."

"That won't work. I bought too many things this month, and my pocket money is almost gone." Li Zhaoxi compared them carefully, and asked Yuanbao Xiaohei to listen and distinguish.

Li Chaosi curled his lips and said, "Miss Ben bought it for you."

"No, I'm going to pick someone who is close to my eyes." Li Zhaoxi directly refused.

Li Chaosi's face turned black, and Li Yanmian next to him saw him secretly laughing, his elder sister was like this, she wanted to be nice to Li Zhaoxi, but every time she didn't do it right, Li Chaosi turned to look at Li Yanmian, "Are you laughing at me?"

"No sister." Li Yanmian immediately shook his head.

Li Chaosi couldn't beat Li Zhaoxi, and couldn't beat this younger brother?Immediately, he knocked on the head and said viciously: "I bought them all for you, so Li Zhaoxi has no choice!"

In the end, Cricket naturally didn't buy all of them, so Li Yanmian coaxed his sister and only bought one.

Li Zhaoxi chose the loud one, and paid for Yuanbao to buy it, then turned to Siyuan and Xiaohei and said, "When my pocket money arrives next month, I'll make it up for you two."

"Okay." Siyuan smiled softly and nodded his head.

Yuan Bao gave the cricket cage to brother Siyuan, and said, "Let's play together, brother."

"it is good."

Looking back, the crickets in Li Zhaoxi's yard in Li Mansion kept chirping, even at night.

Gu Zhaoxi knew that Li Zhaoxi took Yuan Bao and his friends out to fly over this time. He could not fall asleep listening to the sound of crickets. : "Our Li Zhaoxi has finally learned how to play crickets, he looks a bit like a dandy in Beijing..."

"..." Li Zhouzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had never seen a father who was looking forward to his children playing like a father-in-law.

Gu Zhao could see what Zhou Zhou was thinking at a glance, and said, "Just for fun, what kind of family is our family, even if it is abandoned for a year or two, it will make it."

No hurry, no hurry, the child is still young, everything is fine.
