Daily life of captives

After taking off his clothes, Li Shao put on an outer shirt and stepped into the bathtub, but the bathtub was not big enough to accommodate two people, so after entering the water, Li Shao just leaned on the bathtub By the side of the bucket, drop your hand to touch the water.

"Let Wei Ze get a bigger bathtub and come back." The bigger one can easily accommodate two people.

"No need," grandson Boyi grabbed Li Shao's ankle in the water, lifted Li Shao's leg out of the water, then picked up a wet cloth placed by the side of the tub, and gently wiped Li Shao's slender, straight legs. legs, "There is so much open space in the backyard, let Luo Yi and the others rebuild a bath."

"That sounds like a good idea." One leg was lifted, Li Shao supported the side of the tub, and the other foot felt awkward stepping on the bottom of the tub, so he changed the place and stepped on Changsun Boyi on the legs.

"Steady it." Putting Li Shao's leg back into the water, Changsun Boyi pulled the other one.

With his legs twisted, Li Shao couldn't step anywhere, so he just sat on the edge of the bucket, dangling the water with his idle leg, and his toes moved from uncle Changsun's toes from time to time. Rubbed against Yi's thigh.

At this time, touching from time to time made Changsun Boyi's heart itch, and when he raised his eyes to look at Li Shao, he saw Li Shao's eyes were full of cunning.

"Sanlang," Elder Sun Boyi felt helpless, "I just want to take a bath with you."

Li Shao leaned along the side of the bucket, leaned on Changsun Boyi's shoulder, and blew into Changsun Boyi's ear: "You're with me naked, but you just want to take a bath? That's so old Gao, do you think I'm blind?"

As he said that, Li Shao's feet leaned over and slid up and down against the place.

With a muffled snort, Elder Sun Boyi grabbed Li Shao's restless foot: "I spend too little time with you, and I want to do too much."

"Too many things to do?" Li Shao stretched out his finger, circling ambiguously on Changsun Boyi's chest, and said next to Changsun Boyi's ear, "I'm only thinking about one thing right now, what about you?" When will words come into me?"

With a low growl from his throat, Changsun Boyi dragged Li Shao into the water with a wolf kiss, clasped Li Shao's thighs with both hands, and pressed Li Shao's lower body against his body, rubbing his waist.

Li Shao hugged his grandson Boyi tightly, and soon became weak all over.

Kneading Li Shao's butt from time to time, Changsun Boyi's fingers gradually touched the place, stabbed in lightly, and moved in and out, stirring gently.

Li Shao's cheeks were flushed, and his gaze was lingeringly gazing at Changsun Boyi's resolute face in the dense water vapor. No matter how much he liked it, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to draw Changsun Boyi's eyebrows, from the peak of the eyebrows to the corners of the eyes, and stroked the bridge of the nose. Dot between lips.

A smile flashed in Changsun Boyi's eyes, he opened his mouth to enclose Li Shao's fingers, licked and bit them lightly.

Li Shao shuddered and clamped even tighter.

Leaning forward, Li Shao clung to the elder grandson Boyi's body and whispered softly in his ear: "Boyi, come in."

The eldest grandson Boyi frowned slightly, and the water droplets that slid down from his forehead could no longer tell whether it was moisture condensation or forbearing sweat: "Wait a little longer."

"Can't wait, want to, it's so uncomfortable inside."

The last string in Changsun Boyi's mind broke instantly, and he patted Li Shao's butt with his hand: "Sit up."

Li Shao raised his waist, waited for the elder Sun Boyi to align himself, and then sat down slowly.

Li Shao's outer shirt was still on, but it was soaked by the water long ago, half of it was stuck to Li Shao's body, and no one cared about it, while the other half was floating on the water, following the ripples of the water. Ups and downs.

The sound of the water gradually subsided, Li Shao's arm was hooked around Changsun Boyi's neck, and he leaned weakly on Changsun Boyi's chest.

Only then did Changsun Boyi notice the outer shirt, he took it off with his hands, and threw it on the ground in a ball.

"Hold it, let's go out."

"En." Responding lazily, Li Shao tightened his arms and embraced the elder Sun Boyi.

The eldest grandson Boyi put his arm around Li Shao's waist and stood up while holding onto the edge of the tub with the other. He stepped out of the tub first, then hugged Li Shao out horizontally, picked up a dry cloth towel and wiped the two of them. Dry, Changsun Boyi carried Li Shao to the bed.

Putting down the bed curtain and pulling the quilt over the two of them, Changsun Boyi asked someone to come into the house to tidy up the outside.

Lying in the arms of eldest grandson Boyi, Li Shao opened his mouth lazily and asked softly, "Why are you back so late today?"

The eldest grandson Boyi sighed secretly, and replied: "The household department encountered a little trouble, and after a few days of discussion, we can probably come up with a solution. It doesn't matter."

"Businessman's business should be done by the businessman. When it comes to business, the people in the household department only know a little bit about it. Now it seems to be working on paper. If they really want to do it, they will suffer." Li Shao was a little sleepy. He closed his eyes, "There are a lot of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and the giants in the industry will definitely ignore you. Choose those who want to be rich but haven't become rich as imperial merchants, so that not only will someone earn money for your treasury, There are also people who purchase food and clothing. And if you don’t want to increase the burden on the people, then increase the taxes on merchants, because they have a lot of black-hearted money in their hands, so it’s okay to send more to the treasury.”

"Okay, I got it." The elder grandson Boyi touched Li Shao's head, then tilted his head and kissed Li Shao's forehead, "Go to sleep."

In the following days, General Tiance's mansion was quiet as usual, Qin Yunxin was busy with the maids every day, Li Shao didn't care about her, but asked people to keep an eye on her, and Qin Yunxin was strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the eldest grandson Boyi's study.

Different from the quietness in General Tiance's mansion, General Huaihua's mansion became bustling instead. People visited General Huaihua's mansion one after another. Most of these people had heard about Qin Yunxin, but they couldn't hear from Changsun Boyi. After asking something, he went to General Huaihua's mansion to ask Zhang Wei about the child.

Meng Hong, Minister of Zongzheng Temple, came to visit General Huaihua's mansion by a coincidence. On this day, there were no other visitors in General Huaihua's mansion.

Hearing the report from the gatekeeper that Meng Hong, Minister of Zongzheng Temple, had come, Zhang Wei tidied up his clothes and went to the hall in the front yard to meet the guests. The routine he often said these days had already been prepared over and over again in his mind.

As soon as he stepped into the main room and saw people, Zhang Wei laughed boldly three times: "A rare guest, a rare guest, why is Mr. Meng so free to come to my place today?"

Meng Hong stood up, bowed to Zhang Wei, and then said solemnly: "These days General Zhang's mansion has been crowded with people, and most of the people who came here are for the same thing. I am here today, and I want to ask the same question. things."

"Master Meng, please sit down." Zhang Wei went to the main seat and sat down, "I told you a few days ago that Miss Qin is from Xiangzhou, she helped take care of the wounded in the past, this time she came to the capital for some reason Take refuge with the eldest grandson. I don’t know much, all the adults have been coming to me, and I haven’t had time to ask the eldest grandson.”

Meng Hong said distressedly: "If it weren't for the fact that General Changsun couldn't find out why, we wouldn't bother General Zhang either. It's just that it has something to do with Changsun's bloodline, so we have to handle it carefully."

Now all civil and military officials know in their hearts that Liu Ce is just a decoration. The actual emperor of Hou Chu is no one but Changsun Boyi, and Changsun Boyi is only one opportunity away from being able to replace Liu Ce in a legitimate way. The royal family list is prepared with two hands, one is Liu Ce's Liu family, and the other is Changsun's.

Originally, they all thought that the eldest grandson Boyi would stay with the young master for the rest of his life, that both the eldest grandson and the Li clan would be extinct, and the heirs of Hou Chu could only make other plans, but now suddenly a woman brought her child to live in Admiral Tiance It is strange that this woman can live in the mansion, so they wonder if the child is the son of Changsun Boyi. people.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei bowed his hands to Meng Hong, and said: "My lords are so considerate of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson must be very touched, and I, the eldest brother, thank you for him. As for the child... the one who was in Xiangzhou back then At that time, the eldest grandson and Miss Qin were really close. When the eldest grandson was injured, it was Miss Qin who took care of her. We thought that after the eldest grandson returned to Beijing and settled down, we would send someone to pick up Miss Qin. There is also a son."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei shook his head and sighed.

Hearing these words, Meng Hong asked: "General Zhang means that if he hadn't reunited with the young master, General Changsun would marry that Miss Qin as his wife?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei shook his head again, and said: "That's hard to say. Presumably Master Meng can also see that the grandson's heart is warm but his face is cold, and he treats everyone with a cold face, but he can't see what he is with Who is closer, but at that time the eldest grandson's camp was regarded as an important place in the army, and the only ones who could enter and exit it were our brothers, and that was Miss Qin."

Meng Hong began to have an idea in his heart.

The eldest grandson Boyi is just at the age of youth and vigor. He also went to see that girl Qin in the past few days. She is indeed beautiful. How can this man and woman go in and out of the military camp without any incident?Besides, is it possible for any woman to live in the Tiance Admiral's mansion?That young master is still living there. If Miss Qin and the child have nothing to do with eldest grandson Boyi, how could the young master let him into the mansion?Now that grandson Boyi is not letting go, probably the young master is checking the identity of the child?

Thinking of this, Meng Hong's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he felt that Li Shao was a good character, he probably wouldn't have trouble with a child, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was possible, so he immediately got up and said goodbye to Zhang Wei.

"It seems that I still have to ask General Changsun about this matter again, and I'm bothering you today."

Seeing that Meng Hong was about to leave, Zhang Wei didn't stop him: "It's okay, if you have any questions, Master Meng just come and ask me."

Meng Hong nodded, and said politely: "There is still something to do in the official office, so I will take my leave."

"Master Meng, go slowly."

Coming out of General Huaihua's Mansion, Meng Hong thought about it and went to General Tiance's Mansion.

"My lord," Wei Ze walked into the main house three steps at a time, and bowed to Li Shao, "My lord, Master Meng of Zongzheng Temple is here to visit."

When he heard that someone from Zongzheng Temple had come, Li Shao immediately laughed.

"I ran here just after leaving Zhang Wei's place. How afraid is Meng Hong that I will strangle that child to death?"

Yun Zhu, who was serving beside Li Shao, looked unhappy, and said: "Aren't those grown-ups free and have nothing to do? They are free all day long, and what is going on in our house has nothing to do with them! Look at them They are so busy, running around and searching blindly all day long, since their brains are so poor, what can they find out?"

Li Shao smiled lightly and said: "Now that things are up to now, nothing in General Tiance's mansion can be regarded as private affairs. How many pairs of Quan Chang'an's eyes are staring at this place, who has been here, who has gone out from here, every time Any disturbance in the wind and grass can cause others to rack their brains, not to mention that this matter is related to the continuation of the eldest grandson's bloodline."

Wei Ze and Yunzhu looked at each other, and asked Li Shao, "My lord, why don't you go down and send this Master Meng away?"

Li Shao shook his head, and said: "I'm here, let's see. I just want to know how this matter is spread outside."

After saying that, Li Shao stood up, took Yunzhu and Weize to the main room together.

"Sorry to keep Mr. Meng waiting for so long."

Hearing the sound, Meng Hong turned around, and when he saw Li Shao, he smiled: "I have seen the young master, but the subordinate officials came here uninvited and disturbed the young master."

"I heard that Master Meng came to see me specially?" Li Shao sat down in the main room, "Master Meng, sit down, Yunzhu, and watch tea."

"Thank you, Young Master." Meng Hong sat opposite Li Shao, raised his eyes to see Li Shao's smiling face, and said again, "I came here today to find Young Master, because I have something I want to talk to Young Master about."

"Master Meng, please tell me."

Meng Hong said cautiously: "I heard that recently a girl brought a child to the residence of General Tiance."

"Well, there is such a girl," Li Shao nodded, "it's Boyi's old acquaintance. It is said that both his adoptive father and mother have passed away, and there are no relatives to rely on at home. This girl still has a child. At a loss, I came to Chang'an to join Boyi."

Li Shao said this frankly, and Li Shao avoided all the points that Meng Hong wanted to know. Looking at Li Shao with a smile on his face, Meng Hong was not sure whether Li Shao knew about the relationship between eldest grandson Boyi and Qin Yunxin. The intimacy has passed, if Changsun Boyi tries to hide it by all means, it will be bad for him to slip up now.

After thinking about it in his heart, Meng Hong said again: "Does the young master know the origin of this girl?"

"Origin?" Li Shao pretended to be puzzled, "Aren't they ordinary people in Xiangzhou?"

"What about the child? Who is the child's father?"

"That's not clear," Li Shao shook his head, "Master Meng seems to be very interested in this girl, and Master Meng also knows her?"

"I don't know, I don't know," Meng Hong shook his head hastily, "I don't know, I just heard that there are foreigners living in General Tiance's mansion, and I feel worried. General Changsun's status is not what it used to be, so we must be cautious in everything Well, it’s better not to have any permanent residents in the mansion. All the adults in the court are very worried.”

Hearing this, Li Shao laughed: "All the adults in the court are very worried, but why did you let Master Meng come? When will Zongzheng Temple also take on the responsibility of the sixteen guards?"

Meng Hong was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "The matter of General Changsun is the matter of Hou Chu. It is related to the safety of Hou Chu. Everyone is responsible, everyone is responsible."

"Everyone is responsible," Li Shao nodded with a smile, "Master Meng's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is really touching."

Meng Hong smiled awkwardly: "Where is that girl now?"

"Now?" Li Shao raised his eyebrows, "Probably in the Huanxi courtyard now?"

"Huan, Huanxiyuan?" Meng Hong couldn't hide his surprised expression, "Why, why did you go to Huanxiyuan?"

Li Shao didn't take it seriously and said: "The girl said she was embarrassed to live and live in Admiral Tiance's mansion for nothing, so she wanted to help with things, and she couldn't stop her. What's the matter? Does Master Meng think there's anything wrong?"

"No, no, this is very good, very good." Meng Hong murmured in his heart.

Why do you think this is different from what he heard from Zhang Wei? Could it be that the young master deliberately made things difficult for the girl?

Li Shao lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and asked Meng Hong, "Master Meng is the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, but he came here for a girl...to be precise, for a child. Would Mr. Meng think that the child's father is an uncle?" Yi, right? Or maybe General Zhang told Lord Meng that the child belonged to Boyi?"

Meng Hong shuddered, gritted his teeth, and said, "You can't hide it from your son, this is exactly why the servant came here."

"People outside say that this child belongs to Boyi?"

Meng Hong nodded and said: "Ever since we found out that there was a woman who brought a child to live in General Tiance's Mansion, people outside all said that the child belonged to General Zhangsun, and the young master did not restrain the girl, so during this period of time, that No matter which shop the girl goes to buy things in Dongxi City, she always claims to be General Changsun's concubine."

Li Shao chuckled, and said: "You guys are more clear than me."

Whose money did the woman spend to buy things?

Meng Hong bowed his head and remained silent.

Li Shao asked again: "Then what does Master Meng mean by coming here today?"

Meng Hong still lowered his head, and said: "I want to take the child and General Changsun to Zongzheng Temple to verify his identity. If the child has nothing to do with General Changsun, I would like you to settle him down elsewhere as soon as possible. He really is the son of General Changsun..."

"If it's true?" Li Shao looked at Meng Hong.

Meng Hong leaned over and kowtowed, and said: "If it is true, please be magnanimous and accommodate this child, after all... General Changsun is the last member of the Changsun family after all, old general Changsun has always wanted to hug his grandson, and your son will not Would you like to see the Changsun family become extinct with your own eyes?"

With a "crack", just after Meng Hong finished speaking, Li Shao smashed the tea bowl in his hand on the table next to him, and the fragments stuck in his hand, immediately staining his whole hand red.

"Young Master!" Yun Zhu and Wei Ze both exclaimed in surprise, Yun Zhu immediately rushed over, opened Li Shao's hand and carefully took out the fragments stuck in the palm of his hand, "Young Master, what are you doing? Wei Ze, go quickly!" Bring the medicine!"

"Okay." Wei Ze rushed into the inner courtyard immediately.

As if he couldn't feel the pain in his hand, Li Shao looked at Meng Hong expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Master Meng is using the old general to suppress me?"

Meng Hong kowtowed: "I dare not."

Staring at Meng Hong for a while, Li Shao took a deep breath, and said, "Master Meng, don't worry, if Boyi really has a child with a woman one day, I will leave Chang'an before hating anyone, and I will never step into Chang'an again in this life." One step in Chang'an. So Master Meng doesn't have to worry about the lives of the descendants of the Changsun family, and I won't do anything to make Boyi sad."

Meng Hong was startled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't leave, the world of Hou Chu still needs you!"

Li Shao sneered, and said: "I was born and lived for only one person, so what does Hou Chu have to do with me? What does the world have to do with me?"

"My lord, how can you think so? You are a descendant of the Li family..."

"Li Shi? Master Meng is really panicking. Do you want me to continue Li Shi's usual style?"

Meng Hong was dumbfounded.

"Xi Hu, see off the guests."

"Yes, my lord." Xi Hu hurriedly helped Meng Hong up and pushed the door out.

When Xi Hu sent Meng Hong away and returned to the main room, Li Shao was still there.

Li Shao looked up at Xi Hu, and asked coldly, "Where did Vice General Xi go just now?"

From the first day Li Shao entered Tiance Admiral's Mansion, Xi Hu has been guarding the main courtyard and has never left Li Shao's sight. However, Xi Hu is always away recently. Li Shao knows where he is, so he has never heard of him. Don't ask, but now Li Shao is angry.

Xi Hu shuddered, and replied honestly: "Miss Qin accidentally sprained her ankle, the last general..."

Li Shao took a deep breath and stood up: "From today on, you will follow Miss Qin and protect Miss Qin well. I will tell Boyi about this when she comes back."

"Young master?" Xi Hu panicked, and knelt down on the ground with a thud, "Young master, the last general has neglected his duties, please punish him, but the last general... the last general... young master!"

The elder Sun Boyi, who happened to be returning home at this time, looked at this unprecedented scene in the main room and was a little dazed: "What happened?"

As soon as he heard Chang Sun Boyi's voice, Xi Hu hurriedly kneeled up to Chang Sun Boyi's legs, tugged at Chang Sun Boyi's lapel and said, "General, it's the last general who has neglected his duty. General, you can punish me however you want, but I... ... I won't go to Miss Qin's place."

Just after Xi Hu finished speaking, Qin Yunxin appeared out of nowhere, and rushed to Changsun Boyi very quickly: "Brother Changsun, it's not Vice General Xi's fault, it's Xin'er, it's Xin'er who sprained her ankle. I went to look for Vice General Xi, Xin'er doesn't know anyone here, she only knows Vice General Xi well, young master, did he misunderstand something?"

Hearing this, Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao.

However, Li Shao only turned his head and gave Changsun Boyi a cold look, and then strode towards the inner courtyard.

The elder grandson Boyi frowned, brushed Qin Yunxin's hand away first, and then kicked Xi Hu away from his legs, and said in a deep voice: "There is nothing about Miss Qin here, Miss Qin go and rest. Xi Hu, wait a while Come to the east wing for me!"

After saying this, Changsun Boyi kicked Xi Hu again, and hurriedly chased after Li Shao. When he passed by the table and saw the blood stains and the blood-stained fragments of the tea bowl, Changsun Boyi's heart tightened and he walked faster up.
