Abduct a prince and return to modern times

Li Chongzhi is almost sixty this year, his hair is already a little gray, maybe because of the shock of his only daughter's death, his complexion is extremely haggard, after he got off the carriage, someone came up to support him.

"Xiao Xu has seen my grandfather." Li Xu bowed and saluted, with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Hehe, Xiao Xu, come here, let Grandfather take a look." Li Chongzhi looked at his grandson, and immediately waved his hands with a smile.

Li Xu walked over and stretched out his hand to help him up.

Li Chongzi patted Li Xu's hand: "Xiao Xu, we haven't seen each other for several years, this change is not small."

Li Xu's appearance followed Li Xueyan's, so Li Chongzhi looked at it as if he saw his own daughter.

The news of Li Xueyan's death was only received ten days ago. At that time, Li Chongzhi and his group were rushing on the road, but Li Chongzhi fainted and lay down in the inn for three full days.

"Father-in-law, the journey has been tiring, my son-in-law has prepared some food and drink at the house, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to show you respect." At this time, Li Yunlong, who was bruised and swollen, stepped forward and said respectfully.

But Li Chongzhi glanced sideways, didn't say anything, but turned to Li Xu and said: "Let's go to your mother's grave to have a look first, this father-in-law didn't even see him for the last time."

"it is good."

And Li Yunlong had no choice but to stand aside embarrassingly.

Li Xueyan's cemetery is on the outskirts of the mountain about ten miles away from the city, with good geomantic omen and close to the mountains and rivers, Li Yunlong did not hesitate to think about this precious place back then.

So Li Chongzhi looked at this place, although he was angry that he killed his beloved daughter, but his anger also subsided a little.

The ancient people attached great importance to the destination after death, because it is related to the reincarnation of the deceased in the next life. It is said that this excellent tomb can be invested in a noble family in the next life.

Li Xueyan's cemetery is very large, and the materials are all excellent marble. Li Xu has been to this place no less than ten times, but every time he looked at the tombstone: "Tomb of Beloved Wife Li Shi Xueyan", My heart is extremely sour.

But Li Chongzhi and Li Liangzhu both stood quietly, their eyes were a little red, and the people in the other carriage finally came down.

The first one to come down was a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed very quietly, she looked like a very loving woman.

Immediately afterwards, another young girl came down, her appearance was extremely delicate, although she was not gorgeous, she was still pretty and graceful.

Girls are not like the ladies in the boudoir in Lincheng, no matter how delicate they are in terms of dress and hair accessories.

There are only two small pearl flowers on the hair, and two small cloud buns. There are some seas on the forehead, which looks extraordinarily refreshing, which makes people feel good at a glance.

The clever eyes looked around as soon as they got out of the car, looking at the tombstone not far away with some sadness in their eyes, and they were also wearing light blue clothes, which didn't look abrupt at all on such a day.

The woman pulled the girl, and the two of them stepped forward together.

Seeing the two of them, Li Liangzhu's voice was still choked up: "Yao Xi, come and offer incense sticks to Auntie."

"Okay, Daddy." Li Yaoxi nodded obediently.

Only then did Li Xu raise his head to look at his so-called cousin, who was also looking at her with curiosity in his eyes: "Cousin, I'm Yaoxi." Li Yaoxi spoke crisply, and it was obvious from a glance that she had a hearty temperament.

Li Xu handed over the incense in his hand: "Cousin, I'm sorry."

After burning incense, the group drove towards Li Mansion. On the way back, Li Xu followed Li Chongzhi's carriage.

Li Chongzhi loved Li Xu very much from the beginning, although he didn't spend much time with him before, but it was the blood of his family that never stopped.

Therefore, Li Chongzhi chatted happily with Li Xu along the way, only occasionally mentioning Li's mother, the old man sighed heavily, inevitably feeling unconcealed sadness.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Li Mansion. Today the mansion has changed from the plain white of the past, with a little color.

And Mrs. Li was leading Aunt Wang and a group of people waiting at the gate of the mansion, but at this time the former was a little excited.

I haven't seen her in these years, but fortunately, when she saw the stopped carriage, for some reason, Mrs. Li felt a little timid again.

But at this moment, she couldn't allow her to think too much, she straightened her uncluttered skirts and went up to her.

The car window was opened, and Li Xu got out of the carriage first, and he stretched out his hand to support Li Chongzhi: "Grandfather, be careful."

Li Chongzhi nodded and stood on the ground with his heels. As soon as he stabilized his body, he saw Mrs. Li who was coming up. His expression was a little stiff, and he was a little uncomfortable. He hadn't seen him for decades, but seeing him again seemed like a lifetime away.

Li Xu looked at Li Chongzhi's changes, a little curious, and then turned around to see, it turned out to be his grandmother.I was slightly taken aback in my heart: "Mom."

Mrs. Li nodded faintly: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Li Chongzhi nodded.Like an old friend you haven't seen for a long time, casual and natural, but your mind flies far away.

Yes, it's been a long time no see, that girl who used to be innocent is now over fifty years old, and everything that used to happen is like a dream.

When did the two meet for the first time? Li Chongzhi still remembers it vividly. It was at the Lantern Festival in Lincheng. Calligraphy and painting spend the day, but also take care of the seriously ill mother.

Li Chongzhi was very talented when he was young, but he was unlucky. He failed the exam twice, but his mother became ill due to years of overwork. Fortunately, he was not pedantic. Calligraphy and painting.

It was the Lantern Festival that day, and because the business was good, the conditions at home had improved a bit. In the evening, after dinner, I packed up the pens and papers and prepared to go out.

Li Chongzhi's father heard that he left when he was very young, leaving only a pair of orphans and widows and three rooms, all relying on Li's mother's needlework to earn some copper coins to live on.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, just some ordinary furniture, but there is a large bookshelf in the left corner of the room, with many books on it, neat and clean.

At this time, there was a coughing sound in the room: "cough cough cough"

At this time Li Chongzhi was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gentle smile on his handsome face, without the sourness of ordinary scholars, he was carefully rolling up the rice paper, and after rolling it, he gently blew on it, secretly I think I must sell more money today to supplement my mother's health.

Hearing the coughing sound in the room, Li Chongzhi put down the scroll and ran in, opened the curtain, and it was clear at a glance what was inside, a simple wooden bed, a table and a chair.

The woman on the bed is about 40 to [-] years old, and she can still see the delicate facial features. She should have been a beautiful woman when she was young. Maybe because of the long-term hard work, she looks extremely old, but her hands are extremely beautiful.

"Mother, come and drink some water." Li Chongzi poured a glass of water and walked over, helping Li's mother to sit up.

After drinking a glass of water, Li's mother calmed down and said, "Chongzhi, I have to sell calligraphy and paintings today." But her heart was a little sore. If she could live up to her spirits, her son wouldn't have to suffer all those supercilious glances.

"Well, today is the Lantern Festival, so we can definitely sell more." Li Chongzhi carefully helped Li's mother down on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

"Oh, it's my mother who hurt you."

"Mom, what are you talking about, my son won't pass the exam anyway, so I might as well sell some money so that I can marry a lady to take care of you." Every time Li Chongzhi said to marry a wife, Li's mother would be extremely pleased.

"Hehe, Chongzhi should marry a daughter-in-law. Yesterday, your Aunt Wang said that her niece from her natal family is good. Why don't you choose a day to ask Aunt Li to talk about it." Sure enough, when her son talked about marrying a daughter-in-law, Mother Li became excited up.

"Mom, we'll talk about this later, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, go back early."

Li Chongzhi came to the place where he usually set up a stall and put away his things. Sure enough, the business came.

When he was free, he rubbed his sore shoulders and found that it was almost the time of the day. Today's harvest was really good, and he counted several taels.

"Sir, can you draw pictures of pines and cypresses in the morning?" Originally, Li Chongzhi was about to pack up his things and go back, but when he heard the voice of interrogation, he immediately raised his head to look at the smiling woman. A little flushed, but she looked extremely beautiful, she looked like a rich lady, with a delicate maid beside her, holding an exquisite lantern in her hand.

"Well, I'll meet a little later. If Miss doesn't mind, I'd like to give it a try." The morning picture of pines and cypresses is extremely complicated, and it is also a test of painting skills, because the pines and cypresses in the morning should not only have green and tender green onions, but also have a hazy appearance. With a hazy visual sense, the market value of a fine pines and cypresses in the morning is more than a hundred taels, and this is exactly Li Chongzhi's strong point.

He can paint, but never paints, because that is what he cherishes the most, but today somehow he doesn't want to refuse.

"Then I'm in trouble, Mr. Tomorrow, I'll come to pick it up. This is the deposit." The woman smiled brightly, as if she was not surprised, the maid put a silver coin in Li Chongzhi's hand.

Then the woman took the maid and left before Li Chongzhi could react, and disappeared into the vast crowd, coming and going in a hurry, leaving Li Chongzhi with a dazed face.

"Grandfather, grandfather." Li Xu looked at Li Chongzhi's strange behavior, shouted a few times but there was no response, and finally had no choice but to pull his arm.

"Xiaoxu, what's the matter." Li Chongzhi finally came to his senses.

And Mrs. Li was already chatting affectionately with Li Yaoxi's mother and daughter.

"Grandfather. The food is already prepared, let's go eat first. You must be very tired from the journey these days." Li Xu's face was the same, but he thought to himself why his grandfather was so weird.

"Okay, let's go."

Aunt Wang on the side had already helped the injured Li Yunlong to apply medicine, and what made Li Xu even more surprised was that Mrs. Li never asked the reason for Li Yunlong's injury from the beginning to the end.

After lunch, Li Chongzhi and his group were going back to Li's mansion. Originally, Li Xu planned to let his grandfather's family live in the mansion, but Li Chongzhi declined because there was a house near the city, and it was a bit awkward , but in the end Mrs. Li left Li Yaoxi in the Li Mansion, saying that she liked her very tightly and let her accompany her.

But the intentions of the two families are clear at a glance. After all, they have planned for a long time, and only Li Xu, the person involved, is still in the fog.
