The country is not as pretty as the beauty

In the early spring, the outskirts of Chang'an City were covered with green grass and wild flowers, and the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain bloomed a little, but it was not obvious. The carriage came all the way to Chang'an City.

Before the coachman stopped his horse, which had been running all night, the man in black silk jumped out of the cart first.

"Thank you, Yu Bo!"

"Your Majesty... Mr. Li, Chang'an is complex, please take care."

Nodding his head, he picked up the burden and left.

He knew about the situation in Chang'an, but he mostly heard it. For decades, he rarely came to Chang'an in person.

Chang'an City is so big, where can I find someone?

Because of hard work, in his 40s, there are some gray hairs in the black hair hanging down his back.

He was very satisfied that Chang'an City had returned to its former prosperity. There were many women everywhere on the street, which was also related to his revised policy.

The letter said Chang'an City, but didn't mention where it was, so he could only think about every bit of what was revealed in the letter.

It's not in the city, but it's not far away. There are mountains, streams, houses, and many peach blossoms.

So he asked around if there was such a place.

"There is a village in the southwestern suburbs of Chang'an, which is similar to the scenery you mentioned."

There are many small towns and villages around Chang'an, and the southwest area is very large, with not too many people, but very harmonious.

Named after Peach, Peach Village, streams intersect the village, surrounded by peach trees, this season is the most beautiful, Dasu is the most popular for poetry, and has produced many poets, so it is quite popular with literati.

"Let me help you carry it."

Dasu used wells to get water, and there was also an ancient well in the north of Chang'an City.

A well was also drilled in the middle of Taocun, and a man and a woman stood beside the mouth of the well.

Then the man picked up a bucket of water and left with the woman.

"Thank you, Brother Li." The woman smiled and thanked him very gently.

"Anyway, we're not far away."

It can be seen from the words that the two are very familiar.

Carrying water all the way to the house, the man saw that the water in the tank had bottomed out, "I'll fill it up for you."

"How dare I trouble you again."

"I'm going to be annoyed if I do this again, why are you being polite to me?"

She wanted to refuse, but seeing his unhappy face, there was nothing she could do.

Before he could open his mouth, Brother Li continued to walk towards the well carrying the wooden bucket.

"I said, there is not much difference in age between you two, he has no wife, you have no husband, and they care so much about you, it's obviously interesting, why not..."

The woman immediately shook her head, she didn't understand the reason, "Aunt Zhang, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I don't want to."

"You said that you are a woman, there is no one in charge of the family, and the child is still young..."

She still shook her head. Although the status of women in the court has improved a lot, they have been dominated by men for many years. This kind of thinking cannot be changed in a short time.

"I'm not without a husband, it's just..." Chang'an looked to the southeast and saw the capital city, Luoyang City.

"Seven years ago, you came here alone, with a child in your belly, but don't forget that he took care of you."

How could she forget what happened seven years ago. At that time, the world was initially settled, Chang'an was still in chaos, and women's status was low.

When she came to this peach village alone, she was already pregnant at that time, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the villagers were unwilling to take in a woman of unknown origin.

Only Brother Li in her mouth, who lost his wife the year before last and couldn't bear the misfortune and suffering of his daughter, personally guaranteed to take him in.

He is also a kind person on weekdays, respected by the people in the village.

Six or seven years have passed in a flash, and the neighbors are all aware of the kindness of men to women, and they really feel that men are wrong.

At ten o'clock in the morning, today's Taocun is very lively, and every household has come out.

Because of the abdication, the release of the rankings in February was postponed. Now it is more than March, and there is news.

There are people in the village who have graduated from high school, and they are among the top three in the palace examination, and they are talents handpicked by the empress.

Everyone in the village knew who this man was. The only Gongsheng student who went to Beijing to take the exam last year was Li Chu's son, Li Yan.

Li Yan was a well-known talent in Chang'an, and everyone said that Li Chu was lucky to have such a son.

After being lively for a while, it became quiet. Li Yan didn't want to disturb their lives, so he asked the accompanying people to stop their movements.

Although he was not the champion, he was also the top three in the new division. Now he came back to pick up his father.

"Why were you so noisy just now?"

"Oh, Aunt Zhang, the son of Li Chu's family is in high school, and I heard that he has become a high official."

"really?"

"Can this be fake?"

"I said, did you hear, Li Yan is in high school, and if you follow Li Chu, you will be blessed for the rest of your life."

She just smiled as usual, "I don't know worries when I'm not in the temple."

What is a blessing, she should know, pampering is probably what ordinary people desire most.

Li Chu came back, and the burden of water was transferred to a guard in official uniform.

Li Yan was wearing reddish clothes and a black hat.

Now Li Yan has been officially appointed as an official, and is already a student of Prime Minister Su Dao.

Li Yan came over and knelt down towards her.

"What are you doing?"

The people who came to watch surrounded the house and the yard.

It seemed that she hadn't been watched by so many people for a long time, and she was a little flustered for a while.

"Auntie and Yan'er, please go back to Luoyang together."

She wanted to help her up, but she stopped after hearing the words and turned around.

"Yan'er can be what he is today because you taught him. Over the years, Yan'er has regarded his aunt as his mother."

These are words from Li Yan's heart.

The onlookers immediately began to discuss, both envious and jealous.

But it is nothing more than saying that her fate is good, and she is helpless. In this way, Li Yan's high school, Li Chu and Li Yan love her so much, she will be blessed.

"Get up, I won't go."

Li Yan knew that with her talent, she was definitely not an ordinary person before. She didn't reveal it, and he didn't dare to ask.

"Auntie, why should she suffer this? Yan'er has already been put in good use by Prime Minister Su, and she will definitely serve her father and aunt well in the future."

"I said, sister, Brother Li and Yan'er have begged you like this, why are you bothering, Ge'er is still young, do you want the child to suffer with you?"

She was originally a gentle person, once she was criticized, she couldn't express her suffering.

Only the common people were watching. The children were still playing outside at sunset, and they didn't know what was going on in the village. If they knew, the yard would definitely be disturbed by the children again.

There is a flat grassland at the entrance of Taocun Village, where many children often play and it is very lively.

The man in black walked all the way with his luggage on his back. The sun had already set, and his forehead was sweating.

What started as laughter turned into crying.

"She's a wild child without a father, we don't want to play with him."

"Yes, my parents said that their mother and daughter are wild children of unknown origin and no one wants them."

Children's words are always harsh, and even five or six-year-old children can still understand such words.

Not far away, the cry of the girl resounded through the small valley.

"Peach Blossom Village under Chang'an City, Li Ange, no one wants..." Da Su went up to the court and down to the people, the lyrics are always everywhere, and most of the rumors are spread in this way.

The children's singing overwhelmed the crying, and the people in black came looking for the sound.

The name in the lyrics shocked him.

Looking across the bridge, the girl squatted on the ground crying, she seemed to see the shadow of her childhood.

"His Royal Highness, that is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor." He remembered these words clearly more than thirty years ago.

"No one wants it... Li Ange!"

"If there is a child in the future, I want His Majesty to name it."

Although he was absent-minded that night, he still took her words into consideration. Time seemed to return to that moment. The smell of her body, her breath, and the aftermath of her departure made him suffocate.

"The Songs of Chu Nine Songs Donghuang Taiyi" once said: "Raise the drums and blow the drums, and slow down the festivals and sing Ange." This is his answer to her, named it, Ange.

My surname is Li.

So, with his eyes wide open, he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while, and unconsciously approached.

"What's the matter, little girl?"

The moment the girl raised her head, his heart felt like a needle prick, "Like, it's so similar."

But how could she have a child...it's impossible for herself.

So he thought of something that made him very sad, but he quickly rejected it, he didn't believe it, and the child was somewhat similar to himself, but how could it be possible?

From the mouths of other mocking children, it can be known that girls do not have fathers.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but he had to confirm it himself anyway.

A stranger came to the village, a good-looking one at that, and the children quickly shut up.

The girl pointed to the children who were looking at them.

He understood, "Can you take me to your mother? I'll take you to your father."

The girl shook her head, "Mother said Ge'er has no father."

At this time the girl was in his arms, he was taken aback, no father?

He smiled and replied, "That's what your mother lied to you."

"Really?" The girl stopped crying immediately, and stared at him with big watery eyes.

Very clean eyes, as clear as water, "It really looks like your mother."

"Has uncle seen my mother?"

He nodded, but he was not sure. He didn't dare to give an answer until he saw the real person again.

"Who are you?" The children asked curiously, looking at the person they thought was good-looking.

"With so many boys out there, aren't you ashamed to bully a little girl?"

The children looked around, "What we said is the truth."

At first glance, Li Ange looked much better than those children of the same age. Li Ange looked very similar to the man who was holding her, and the older children could tell.

"You can't be Li Ange's father..."

The child who had bullied her immediately panicked.

"Is what they said true?" The girl looked at him, and the girl also thought he was pretty.

"When we meet Ge'er's mother, Ge'er will know."

"it is good."

Li Ange automatically got down from his arms, held hands and walked towards the road home.

"Li Ange's father is back, Uncle Li will be sad."

Li Ange trotted back with him all the way. The scenery in the village was beautiful. She pointed to the peach grove in front of her, "That's my home."

He nodded, followed all the way, and soon saw the place surrounded by people.

"Here, why are there so many people?"

"Mother~"

Following Li Ange's shout, the surrounding people turned their heads one after another.

But he quickly turned his attention to the man Li Ange was leading.

He travels in men's clothes and thinks it will be more convenient.

How could a strange man come to the village? There are many young women in the village, some of whom are still unmarried.

He was good-looking, with delicate features, and he didn't look like someone in his 40s. How could they not like him.

"Who is Geer?"

Soon someone asked, "He is my father!"

"Ge'er, don't be joking."

Dasu's most important thing is reputation, as well as a woman's chastity. It is unchaste for a mother to drag someone to be a father casually.

Along the way, the girl's performance made him more and more sure that this was her child.

So eager to see the people behind the crowd.

"Don't say that there are so many and nothing, let her mother see if she knows."

So the crowded crowd made way for the two of them to look at each other.

The author has something to say: continue writing about the heroine’s abdication.

It's almost over!
