When I woke up, I was fine

The little fat man's mother would not be able to leave for a while, but the little fat man didn't think so. Li Jiancheng could tell that his son was a bit complacent when Cao Qian was packing up.He thought he could suppress Cao Qiang's arrogance, although this little thing is young, but now he can calculate.

But when he realized that A Niang had really left and would never come back again, the little thing became anxious again.

The behavior of the little fat man made Li Jiancheng feel ridiculous and sad. Li Jiancheng is a very emotional person.So when Li Shimin took the lead in challenging the brotherhood, he felt that he couldn't accept it, and felt very uncomfortable.

It was only after he felt that he thought he could accept most of the calculations in the world.I can't calmly deal with all the changes in people's hearts as I imagined.

Even if you can't accept it, you know that it is normal for people's hearts to change sometimes, and it is not normal for people's hearts to remain unchanged.

Li Jiancheng sighed and hugged the little fat man into his arms.At this time, the little fat man was still trapped in a kind of fear, almost out of breath from crying.

"Auntie is gone..."

"Why did she leave? Did our Chengzong make her angry?"

"No... I didn't make my mother angry... I blame my father for being bad, it was my father who made my mother angry."

Cao Li didn't actually leave, and he just pretended to leave here. After hearing the little fat man's words, he frowned, thinking that this kid would still beat him up now.

Whether it is a man or a woman, the most important quality is to bear mistakes. If the little fat man does not discipline now, it may be too late to discipline him in the future. I brought it in to Li Jiancheng, thinking in my heart that I should clean up this little thing at this time.

I don’t mention how Cao Qiang and Li Jiancheng usually educate their children at home, but Li Yuan has been reminded by many people in their ears. They said that there is only one child in the East Palace, King Taiyuan, and the males in the East Palace seem too thin .

At this time, Li Yuan put all his thoughts on the eldest son and his wife, and asked Li Jiancheng to come over, and persuaded him to have more sons as soon as possible, because there are many benefits to having more children.

From the future of the country to the future, these are not small problems.

In order to make his son believe what he said, Li Yuan gave many examples and spoke eloquently.Some of them happened around me, and some of them had already appeared in relatives' homes. Even those ancient holy kings such as Dayu couldn't escape Li Yuan's mouth.

In the end, Li Yuan's speech as a concluding statement sounded particularly awkward.

"You and the princess are not young anymore. In the early years, you two were asked to consummate the house quickly and give birth to a son, but you refused to listen. After a few more years, the two of you will be grandparents. At that time, I couldn’t give birth even if I wanted to.”

Li Jiancheng didn't know what to say at this time, and returned to the East Palace exhausted, only to find the little fat man sitting there crying and receiving the education of the princess's love.

The little fat man regards his father as his savior every day. When he sees Li Jiancheng coming back, he immediately throws the brush aside, jumps off the chair and quickly hugs his father's calf.

And the little fat man wondered more than once why he couldn't drive A Niang out of the house. It was enough for him and his father to be in the house.

But this can't be said, so every time his father came back, he rushed over quickly, hugged his father's leg and raised his head to greet him pitifully. In my arms, playing with myself for a while, this is the only happy time I have left in a day.

After coaxing the little fat man to play elsewhere, Li Jiancheng explained to Cao Yang the earnest expectations of his old father Li Yuan.

Cao Qiang took a breath, feeling that Li Yuan could not be blamed for this, and he didn't stuff up some irrelevant people, he just asked for a few more grandchildren.

Cao Li agreed straight away. It's not wrong to agree to this kind of thing first. Anyway, it's hard to say whether he will be able to give birth in the future.

Just when Cao Qiang and Li Jiancheng were struggling with the matter of having a baby, Li Jiancheng received the news that Princess Pingyang was seriously ill. Princess Pingyang hadn't gone out for a while, so Cao Qiang sent someone to send things to greet him, but he only replied that Recently, they are not in good spirits. Considering that their brother Li Shimin has been permanently exiled, it is also possible that he is in a bad mood. Cao Qian didn't meddle in his own business, and didn't call this sister-in-law out to talk together, and wait until now to hear him again. According to the news, he was already seriously ill.

This reminded Li Jiancheng of what Li Shimin told him when he left, and suddenly had a bad feeling. He couldn't care about other things anymore, and ran to Princess Pingyang's mansion in a hurry. He saw his sister and found that she was very thin now. Bones, the whole person is extremely haggard.

Cao Li was also very surprised. He didn't expect to be so sick to such an extent. He thought it was just that he couldn't get up - it was actually the favorite thing of those imperial doctors to say that the nobleman's illness was getting worse.

Looking at Princess Pingyang at this time, it seemed that her life was not long. Not only Li Jiancheng didn't believe it, but Cao Yang didn't believe it either. Cao Yang asked Princess Pingyang's maid in a low voice.

"Don't tell me what's going on, tell me the truth about what's going on, did someone in this family do something to make the princess angry, let me tell you, don't try to prevaricate me with wind and cold, When the princess was young, it was easy to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and it is only a few years, how could her body become so weak?"

In Cao Li's imagination, it should be because of what the son-in-law did.The princess found out that for the sake of her son, the princess could only swallow her anger. This kind of thing is not impossible, even Li Jiancheng thought so.

And the poor imperial doctor just kept explaining that it was really because the wind and cold were not taken care of well, which made the condition worse and worse.

Moreover, the son-in-law has been very disciplined at home these days. Since Li Shimin's family left, the son-in-law has never left the house like a wilt, although he usually likes to drink, have fun, play and sing.But compared with his habits in the early years, it really has changed a lot.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. The son-in-law has this temper. It would be unrealistic for him to change, so Li Jiancheng was not that angry after the maid beside the princess told what the son-in-law had done during this period.

But Cao Li was very angry. At this time, like an extremely protective and difficult natal family, he was quite critical of the son-in-law's drinking and having fun during this period of time.

"You and Xiuxiu's husband and wife, among other things, you two still have a son, why don't you take good care of Xiuxiu by the side, why are you talking about poetry and prose every day?"

Chai Shao felt a little wronged. He was also anxious when the princess was sick, and because the princess was sick, even his son's health fluctuated during this period of time. He was more anxious about this than anyone else, but what can be done? I am not an imperial doctor, and I can't take care of the princess, so I can only talk about having fun while suffering.

Moreover, he felt that the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace was too lenient. He treated the Crown Prince like the third grandson, and he couldn't just control himself like this.

So there was a bit of disrespect in the words, which not only made Cao Qiang angry, but also Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng was angry because Chai Shao didn't respect Cao Qian enough. What can be done, the things that make fun of hardships, are absolutely sincerely wanting to be happy.

The husband and wife returned to the East Palace together, cleaned up and went to find Li Yuan and Cao Qiang. At this time, they slandered Li Yuanjin like a treacherous minister.

"I think that Chai Shao has nothing to worry about. You just need to use this matter to make a big fuss, get rid of his family's title, and let their father and son fall into the dust. At that time, he will definitely serve Xiuxiu obediently."

Li Jiancheng felt that the crime did not end there, and that the son-in-law did indeed have military merits, so he urged Cao Li to go back to the East Palace to look at the little fat man, while comforting Li Yuan.

"We can't intervene too much in the affairs of their husband and wife, but you are his father-in-law anyway. Now that Xiuxiu is sick, he can still drink with the singer at home. This is already despising our family. You Call him over and scold him, then their family will naturally respond."

According to what Li Jiancheng said, Li Yuan called the son-in-law over and scolded him head-on and face-to-face. The son-in-law felt very wronged, and he was really anxious, but it was just because he drank a little too much with his family.

After returning home, I couldn't help complaining to Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu was not in good spirits at this time, and the little energy she usually had was given to her son, and she didn't even look at her husband who was complaining next to her.

From this day onwards, no matter what good things there are in the East Palace, they will send them over, and all the maids in the East Palace will look up and down at all the maids and maids who appear in Xiuxiu's room. Enchanting Rao, or anyone who dares to joke with the son-in-law, go back and report to the Crown Princess.

It wasn't until two months later that Xiuxiu's body improved a bit. Cao Li breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Jiancheng didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, it is almost the time of Chinese New Year, and this year is destined to be a very embarrassing year.

First of all, Li Shimin's family can't celebrate the New Year with them, secondly, Li Yuanji and his wife seem to be inseparable, and there is also Li Yuanba, who is getting older and single - he is extremely opposed to marrying a wife.

As a father, Li Yuan felt a headache when he thought about it.

So people asked how Cao Li looked at the ladies of various families, and why Li Yuanba was still a bachelor until now.

Cao Qian couldn't help complaining to Guan Lengyan, "Your Majesty, you really want a horse to run or eat grass. I just want to ask him if there is such a beautiful thing in the world? He insists on letting us live together now." A son, I have to worry about his daughter's illness, and I have to worry about his son's affairs. The problem is that Yuanba doesn't want to marry a wife. The root of this matter lies in Yuanji. , Yuanba is not willing to marry a wife until now?"

Guan Lengyan only let out a long sigh, and cast a disdainful glance at Cao Li, "No virtue".

"What do you mean by that? You explain clearly to me, who are you talking about? Do you mean that I am not worthy..."

"I didn't mention you, why are you in a hurry?" Guan Lengyan just cast a glance at Cao Qian, thinking that she was really suspicious, did I mention you?Did I name it?You put everything on your head, how did your brain grow?

"I'm talking about the Li family's immorality."

Before Guan Lengyan continued, Cao Qian sneered, thinking that it was still Guan Lengyan, if he didn't argue with him twice in a year, this year would not be over.

"What? Uncle Liu Huang has virtue in his ancestors. Let alone Liu Bang and Liu Xiu, are they all good people? Go and find out. From ancient times to the present, in which dynasty the queen knelt down to the minister in order to keep the position of the prince. Yes, this happened in Liu Bang's time, if he hadn't been extremely hooligan, sorry for the mother and son of the original wife, would he be able to force Mrs. Lu to kneel down?"

Empress Lu had no heirs left, and the later Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu were not of Empress Lu's blood, so the Liu family did not really respect the Lu family that much in their bones.He even complained secretly that such a woman caused waves in the family, almost causing Jiang Shan to change his surname.

And Liu Daer in Cao Qian's mouth seems to have the same virtue as his ancestors, that is, he never takes his wife seriously.

I don't know if it's a rumor, anyway, Uncle Liu Huang once said that brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes. At this time, Cao Li will of course take these words out to stab at Leng Yan.

Guan Lengyan knew that at this time, don't talk about this with Cao Li, who is full of fighting spirit. If you want to talk about this, you really can't justify it.

"Don't tell me about these old sesame seeds and rotten millet. You have the energy, why don't you think about what you should do next. If I were you, I would take the portraits of the girls from the little official's house at this time. , let the emperor choose one."

Cao Qiang sighed at this time, sometimes his heart towards her was like a rock, and sometimes he was so soft that it was unreasonable. At this time, Cao Qiang didn't want to make a pair of resentful couples, and he didn't want Li Yuanba to be foolishly dragged by others because of family affairs. Running around like a marionette with his nose in his mouth, he didn't want a young girl to marry a fool in the eyes of others.

"I have to think about it again. I must find someone Yuanba likes and treats Yuanba well."

"This matter is difficult, you have to work hard." When Guan Lengyan said this, she was very insincere, and even took a little gloat. At this time, there was no one around, and it was okay for the two of them to fight, but thinking that Cao Jin was not too young, he sneered.

"Don't talk sarcastic here, I know you are going to be a mother-in-law soon, and you are going to start raising grandchildren, don't you feel particularly anxious at this time?"

Of course Guan Lengyan didn't admit it, even if there was such a thing, they couldn't admit it. The two of them argued for half an afternoon. After Guan Lengyan left, Cao Li lay down on the couch listlessly.

Li Jiancheng brought his two brothers back for dinner. Before, while waiting for the meal, the three brothers were all talking, but now they just sneaked the little fat man up to him.

Anyway, the three brothers took the exam together, which made the little fat man doubt his life.

Li Chengzong admired his father very much, because his father was a very knowledgeable person, and he had a slight appreciation for his fourth uncle. Although his fourth uncle sometimes did things unreliably, he still had knowledge.

The third uncle is even more powerful. The third uncle claims to be invincible in the world. He is really invincible. Whether it is fighting or eating, there is nothing that the little fat man can win.

The little fat man secretly vowed that he would be able to beat the third uncle one day sooner or later.It's just that before this day came, I was beaten on the ground by my third uncle.

At this time, Dad and Fourth Uncle would always sit on the steps with a cup of tea. The two of them shook their heads in disappointment as they watched the little fat man being rubbed against the ground.

But after talking too much this time, Li Yuanji finally had something to say, "One of my concubines is pregnant now, and if I give birth to a son, let him go in and out with Chengzong."

Of course, Li Jiancheng was full of applause. At this time, he couldn't help but look at Li Yuanba, who was now in full swing.

"Your sister-in-law has been worrying about Yuanba's affairs for a while, and she is so anxious that she gets angry. She doesn't know how to do the best with this matter."

Li Yuanji felt that it was better not to let Yuanba get married, since Yuanba didn't care about it anyway.

"I advise elder brother and sister-in-law not to waste their efforts at this time. Let's go together to persuade father to take back his life. If he really finds a woman who is as flirtatious as Yang's and goes back, how do you let my third brother take care of himself?" What? If he thinks about it like I do, that's fine. What if he can't? He's a dead-headed person. It's fine if he doesn't know that other people look at him with pity. Woolen cloth."

"That kind of person... only one out of a thousand." Li Jiancheng meant that Yuanba might not be able to encounter such a thing.

"You can't even trust Hongnong Yang's upbringing, do you think the upbringing of those petty officials and officials can be trusted?"

Li Jiancheng had a terrible headache. He put the cup aside, and suddenly felt that the tea in the cup didn't taste good at all.

At this time, the little fat man also came over with Li Yuanba, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stopped talking at this time, so they stopped talking about this matter.

Soon it was the New Year's day, the little fat man looked at the room full of people, it seemed bustling, there were many little uncles and little aunts in this room, it was extremely noisy, he suddenly felt a little irritable, and couldn't help but sighed.

Fatty's status is special compared to others, and many people pay attention to him. As a grandfather, Li Yuan also pays special attention to Fatty, so he couldn't help but reach out and pat the back of Fatty's head.

"Why are you sighing at such a young age? This is full of prosperity, what is there to sigh for?"

Li Yuan felt that he was really old at this time, and when he saw his grandson, he couldn't help but recall the past, at the age of the little fat man, what was he doing at that time?

At that time, my brothers were just born, my father went out and never came back, and my mother fell ill. At that time, I was ignorant and didn't know anything.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly felt that he was very pitiful. He had always planned for the family since he was a child, but he became hesitant because his mother fell ill and had no one to educate him.It's not that he doesn't know that his ears are soft, but what can he do if he knows?It is difficult for people to overcome their own shortcomings.

Even a saint has many behaviors that are criticized.What's more, Li Yuan felt that he was not a saint.

Fatty is really too young at this age, he just needs to play happily. Perhaps his biggest confusion is what to eat and play with today. The biggest worry is how many words to read and how many books to learn. The most annoying...even worried The thing is, what if he was caught playing by his mother?

But the little fat man gave Li Yuan a completely different answer.

"Grandfather, I miss Brother Chengqian, and they all told me not to mention Brother Chengqian in the future... But I don't say that others won't miss Brother Chengqian."

In the end, the little fat man was so uncomfortable that he didn't ask: I wonder if brother Chengqian still remembers me?

The little fat man has vaguely realized that brother Chengqian will never come back again.

Unexpectedly, it was this answer, and Li Yuan's expression became gloomy, and he stretched out his hand to touch the back of his little grandson's head.

Now there is only this one grandson, so this grandson has become very precious, and those sons who are chattering next to him can't compare with the little fat man at all.

Seeing the little fat man, Li Yuan thought of Li Chengqian who was so big a few years ago.

"Grandfather also misses you, brother Chengqian."

How can you not want to?For Li Yuan, Li Chengqian is his first grandson.

Moreover, although the products in the northwest are relatively rich, it is not suitable for all seasons like Chang'an. It is cold for a long time, and the people there are not willing to grow grains.

Children like Li Chengqian don't know how to survive there.From Li Chengqian, I thought of Li Shimin and his wife again. The Guanyin maidservant suffers from shortness of breath every winter, because the two daughters-in-law Cao Qian and Guanyin maidservant were married in when they were young, and they were displaced by the family. Li Yuan treated them more patiently than his daughter. Thinking of Li Chengqian's mother and son, Li Yuan immediately felt that this year had been austere and boring.

Maybe the next year will be boring.

But we can't let the children know. If the children know it, the ministers know it. If the ministers know it, the whole world knows it. At that time, other troubles will arise.

Li Yuan put down the wine glass, hugged the little fat man into his arms, and the little fat man in his arms patted him on the back.

"Good boy, it's fine for the two of us to think about it quietly. As long as we think about it, your elder brother Chengqian can live a good life. And don't let others know that we are thinking about it..."

"I understand. You don't have to tell me. You said that when I grow up, I will go out to look for brother Chengqian. Will he recognize me?"

Li Yuan thought about it for a while and thought that the little fat man in his arms is not too old, he already remembers things, if he can clearly remember the things he was with Li Chengqian when he was young, then Li Chengqian must also remember things.

Li Chengqian must still remember his grandfather, and he must also remember this cousin who only knows how to eat and sleep.

I just don't know how Li Shimin will explain to his son in the future, maybe he will speak ill of himself and Jiancheng in front of his son.At that time, Li Chengqian will inevitably have to bear a grudge against the little fat man.

But after thinking about it, Shimin is not such a person, his son is still clear about it, and he has the courage to afford it and let it go.

So at this time, Li Yuan is still willing to leave a little thought for his little grandson.

"When you grow up in the future, grow up to be as big as your grandfather, hold your grandson in your arms and tell stories, go find your elder brother Chengqian while you can still move your legs and feet."

The author has something to say: I have [-] words today... I will resume updating tomorrow, and I am still a little uncomfortable now.
