Records of the King of Xin'an County

Chapter 112 Family Parting

The best friend has returned, and the family is about to leave. Even if there is no order from his brother, Li Hui will return to the palace to accompany them.It's a pity that he failed to understand his elder brother's "hard work" in separating him from Prince Xian. Instead, he invited his best friend to stay with him and serve his parents with him all day long, sharing the happiness of the family.

Wang Zixian is not only familiar with all kinds of poems and songs, but also has seen the beautiful scenery of various places. When talking about it, Li Tai, who claims to be extremely talented, is also fascinated by it, and even connects to the article of the article. Forgot all.As female relatives, the Yan family and the Zhou family seldom heard such travel anecdotes, and they were fascinated by them for a while.Even the young Shou Niang was overwhelmed by the scenery and folk customs he sketched casually.

When Li Xin learned about it, the masters of Prince Pu's Mansion accepted Wang Zixian with great enthusiasm.Therefore, he could only acquiesce in Li Hui and Prince Xiancheng being inseparable every day - and it is said that they would sleep together and talk about parting together every day.His Royal Highness Sipu King, who was so depressed, thought about it carefully, pondering over and over again, but never thought that someone would have the audacity to attack the Xin'an County King.Therefore, whenever Li Tai and Yan Shi praised someone, he still pretended that he had never heard anything.

"Changing the state into a government office" is the most eye-catching move since the sage came to power, which naturally attracted the attention of the ruling and opposition parties.The saint is even more important, and will ask a few questions from time to time, obviously only success is not allowed to fail.Li Heng, King of Yue, and Li Tai, King of Pu, who served as the governors of the mansion, were still at ease, but the three former governors who were promoted to the governor's office were full of sorrow and joy, and they seemed to be burdened with a huge burden, so they urged their subordinates to go to the post to share their worries.

As the governor of Henan Province, Li Xin received several well-worded letters from Shangfeng in just a few days, so he had to change the original departure date again and again, constantly advancing the premise.After the sage heard about it, he encouraged him with a smile: "Is there anything in Luoyang? You don't have to wait until everything is ready before leaving. If the third brother and the third sister-in-law need anything, just write a letter and I'll send someone to deliver it."

Li Xin hastily declined and said, "Uncle has asked the supervisor in the palace to set aside the garden of the Luoyang Palace for my nephew's family to live in. How can my uncle bother about such trivial matters as clothing, food and utensils? Since the business is urgent, my nephew should leave as soon as possible." It also makes Grandpa and Mother and Youniang mother and daughter walk slowly on the road."

The sage smiled when he heard the words, stroked the short mustache under his chin, and sighed: "It's late autumn now, the scenery on the road is just right, and it's good to walk slowly, so let's just treat it as going out for fun. Speaking of which, I have never I have gone to Dongdu, and I don’t know if the scenery in Luoyang is the same as before. Boyue, do you remember? When Auntie was healthy, Grandpa often took us on trips.” As he spoke, his eyes flickered A little nostalgic.

Li Xin's expression is also much softer: "Of course I remember. Once on a boat, my uncle and nephew were watching from the side of the boat, and they were almost brought into the Luo River by a sudden wind—" That was more than [-] years ago At that time, Li Song was still the prince of the East Palace with a stable position, staying in Chang'an to supervise the country, and they all traveled with Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende, and lived in Luoyang for several months before returning reluctantly.

The saint smiled slightly: "After going to Luoyang, I will repair the palace a little when I have time. It doesn't have to be magnificent, it just needs to be able to accommodate the servants. When Zitong is in better health, I will take their mother and daughter there Luoyang relaxes. Yue Niang is going to get married in a blink of an eye, so let her go around and broaden her horizons. Now she is busy with palace affairs and taking care of Zi Tong and Wan Niang, it's really hard work at such a young age."

"If Yue Niang and Wan Niang knew about Uncle's plan, they would definitely be happy in their hearts." After learning about the saint's thoughts, Li Xin also felt a little joy in his heart.With the feelings of Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an for their brother, they will definitely ask the saint to take him with him.At that time, their family will be able to reunite in Luoyang for a while, how can he not feel happy?

A few days later, Yan Shi and Zhou Shi finally packed up their luggage in a hurry, selected useful servants and operas, and set off on an auspicious day.Under Li Hui's insistence, Li Xin and Yan could only agree to take Li Tai's Dianjun guards from the tent house and marriage house without landing.As for Li Xin's bodyguards who stayed in Prince Pu's Mansion, since they had been operating in Chang'an for many years, they would not be of much use after going to Luoyang, so most of them stayed, but Li Hui's order was to obey.

On the day of leaving Beijing, Li Tai and others went to the palace to bid farewell to the sage and Empress Du, and then they were sent off outside Baqiao by Li Heng and Li Jing.Concubine Wang of Yue, Princess Linchuan and her son-in-law, and Princess Qinghe and her son-in-law all came to see them off in person, and a gorgeous barrier had already been erected around the pavilion.

Yan Shi, Wang Shi, and Princess Qinghe murmured in each other's arms, while Zhou Shi leaned on Princess Linchuan's arms.Many clans and high-ranking families also sent people to show their favor. Although in order to avoid certain suspicions, those who came were descendants of the younger generations, but the attitude of the younger generations was a little more respectful, and the conversation and laughter were harmonious. .

Seeing the members of the royal family reluctantly bid farewell, these family members were all deeply moved, and some even persuaded them politely. For a while, it seemed that there was a feeling of parting everywhere.

The Yan family also sent people to come, a huge group of people, except for Yan's mother Gao, the rest of the female family members came.In addition, there are Yan's younger sister and niece married in Beijing.They saw Yan's deep friendship with the two noble lords and Wang's, and they didn't want to disturb each other rashly, so they could only insert a sentence or two with tears or smiles, pretending to be intimate.However, many noble ladies already knew that Princess Pu was not at peace with her natal family, and most of them laughed secretly when they saw this.

Ever since King Pu's lineage stayed in Beijing, even Father Yan who had been alienated from them was quite shaken.Because of Li Hui's "inadvertent" words earlier, he was summoned by Emperor Taizong, and after asking a few words, he gradually fell out of favor.He thought his official career had come to an end, but now that the new emperor ascended the throne, his attitude was impartial, which gave him some hope.However, after all, he is quite old, and he doesn't have much ambition, so he is satisfied if he can maintain the status quo.The only thing to worry about is the descendants. Seeing that King Pu's lineage is about to revive, he feels sore and astringent in his heart. All he can do now is to continue to try his best to make up for the rift.

How could the women of the Yan family not know what the rest of them were thinking?And how could he not know that his family had already become the laughing stock of the high-ranking official families in Beijing?But after all, blood is thicker than water, and the Yan family treated Yan Shi coldly, but it was impossible for Yan Shi to be too indifferent to them in public.As long as he has a thicker skin and makes Yan's heart soften, sooner or later this relative will become the Yan family's help again.For the sake of your own children or your own future, why not lower your figure in front of Yan Shi?

"Sister-in-law...they have always been so blank?" Princess Qinghe frowned, and glanced at the female family members of the Yan family.

Yan could only smile wryly: "It's not that there is no wink, it's just that I have something to ask for, so I would rather be thick-skinned and hope that sooner or later I can get what I want." After finishing speaking, she sighed softly, "I heard that Du The daughter of the family must be filial, so I wanted to give up this marriage and choose another person to let San Lang get married as soon as possible. Now that I think about it, fortunately, San Lang has not yet married. Otherwise, if the two young people were to deal with the relatives of the Yan family, wouldn’t it be difficult for them alone? It will take a long time I am afraid that I will agree to plan for them without knowing it."

"That's right. Now that Sanlang is alone in Chang'an, it's not easy for this group of female relatives to visit. As for the men of the Yan family, they are either elders or scholars. After all, they are thin-skinned, and they dare not ask for anything." Princess Qinghe's eyes flickered. , and looked at everyone in the Yan family, "In my opinion, the Yan family has not completely given up on San Lang's marriage or the people around him. We have to remind San Lang to be careful." Abandoning one or two concubines, retaining the effective It is also a very cost-effective deal for relatives.If there is an opportunity, the Yan family will definitely not let it go easily.

Yan groaned for a while: "Sanlang hasn't enlightened yet, so he probably won't pay too much attention to these things. It's true that he should be extra careful." So she called her personal maid to come over and give some instructions, and handed over the important task to him. Gave it to Li Xin.After all, she is a mother, and it is far more natural to talk about this kind of thing than her brother.

At this time, Li Hui was pulling willows by the Baqiao with his little niece.Now it is late autumn, the willow branches have been gradually withered, and they will be broken when they are lightly folded, and the bare ones are not good-looking.Xiao Shouyang frowned, pouted and said, "Uncle, do you have to give willow branches when you say goodbye? These willow branches are really ugly, and I don't want to take them at all."

"Folding willows is a gift of meaning, and it has nothing to do with whether it looks good or ugly." Li Hui smiled, "Who told my brother to set off on such a day when everything is bleak? Otherwise, if it was later, the snow would be everywhere. It makes the willow branches look better." While talking, he already broke a few, which is enough for everyone to give.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise, and the people around looked aside involuntarily as if they were attracted.So, he also looked back, and happened to see Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an get off the chariot.

Because of their similar age, Xiao Shouyang and Princess Yong'an were always on good terms, and they cheered and walked over quickly holding the hem of their skirts.Princess Yong'an took a small jade pot planted with orchids from the handmaiden, and smiled and gave it to her: "Shou Niang, here, here, I give it to you. This is picked by my mother. The orchid is very beautiful." It is very interesting to jump out a few words from time to time.

Xiao Shouyang didn't look down on the withered willow branches, but he loved this pot of orchid very much, his eyes fluttered: "Little aunt is so nice! I will take good care of it with Auntie." In fact, she didn't fully understand "aunt" The connotation of this title, when calling Princess Yong'an, it is like calling her by her nickname, revealing a full sense of intimacy.

Princess Changning walked to Li Hui's side and sized him up: "Brother, are you okay?"

"Of course it's good." Li Hui smiled and said, "Could it be that I look disappointed?"

"Because you look so happy, I couldn't help but want to ask." Princess Changning replied, "Brother, won't you feel reluctant? After all, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Luoyang, and it will take at least four years It will be even longer before we see each other again."

"I'm a gentleman, and I won't be as sentimental as your little lady." Li Hui raised the corners of his mouth, "Yue Niang, joys and sorrows are common, we have all witnessed birth, old age, sickness and death, so why be afraid of such a parting?" He lowered his eyes— —Compared with the death and parting in the previous life, the present life and parting are already very satisfying.

Princess Changning was startled, and all the sadness between her brows dissipated.She walked forward slowly, holding Princess Yong'an and Xiao Shouyang, and said briskly: "Let's go, let's see Shimu and Auntie off." After walking a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head with a bright smile: "Brother It's better to go and have a few words with the first cousin and the third father, otherwise they will always be surrounded by people, and they won't be able to find a gap to find you."

Li Hui nodded slightly, and seeing them walking into the barrier, he went to the long pavilion.In fact, they have already said all that should be said; all that should not be said is also silent.But some words must be said in the eyes of everyone, and the farther they are spread, the better.

No matter how reluctant to part, the moment of parting finally came.Li Hui helped Li Tai into the car, and stopped in front of Yan's car for a while.Li Xin's royal horse came to him, and whispered to him a few words of Yan Shi's instruction just now, he sighed softly and shook his head: "Brother, don't worry, I have my own measure."

Li Xin looked at him deeply, and wanted to bring up the matter of the prince offering again, but finally remained silent.

"It's been a smooth journey."

"……Um."

Li Xin went first, the car carrying Li Tai and others was driving in the center, followed closely by the guard of honor luggage winding for several miles, surrounded by the members.The mighty team gradually moved away, and Li Huili looked in the long pavilion for a long, long time until he could see nothing before turning his head.

Princess Changning and Princess Yong'an had been waiting for him quietly, and smiled at him.And he couldn't help but smiled back: My best friend also went back to Shangzhou a few days ago, and will return to Chang'an openly in two days.It's only three or two days. I've survived the long days of loneliness in my previous life, so it's nothing now.
