Daily life of captives

Li Shao's voice became hoarse and he couldn't speak properly for several days. Fortunately, he was surrounded by people who knew him very well. As long as he rolled his eyes, Changsun Boyi and Deng Yi knew what he was going to do, and they didn't guess even once. miss.

While feeling surprised, Li Shao was also very moved.

If you didn't pay attention to him all the time, how could you be so familiar with these tiny habits of his?

Changsun Boyi didn't think it was inconvenient for Li Shao not to speak, and the only thing that made him dissatisfied was the lingering Du Tian.

Out of etiquette, Du Tian doesn't often visit the Tiance Admiral's Mansion, and Du Tian has also done what he promised before, but for any business-related matters, Du Tian will go to Luan Qi to discuss, if the two cannot discuss As a result, it was Luan Qi who came to find Li Shao.

However, Du Tian's people did not show up at the Tiance Admiral's Mansion, but the gifts were sent to the Tiance Admiral's Mansion every three days. In those days when Li Shao's voice was very hoarse, Du Tian gave Li Shao soup and medicine, Every day is not the same.

When Li Shao's voice recovered, Du Tian began to send some other things, sometimes it was a bone fan from Jinling, sometimes it was a famous inkstone from Shezhou, sometimes it was pottery that can be seen everywhere, and sometimes it was a rare natural jade. Du Tian can get any objects that can be found in Hou Chu territory and give them to Li Shao.

It's not easy for Li Shao to refuse or return them, but he can't take these valuables for nothing with peace of mind, so he can only return the gift, and it will be difficult to distance himself from Du Tian after he comes and goes.

In the season when the osmanthus seeds are fragrant, Du Tian, ​​who once said that he would leave Chang'an at the end of May, has already settled down in Chang'an. It is said that he has obtained permission from the Du family to develop the Du family's business in Chang'an City.

The eldest grandson Boyi who received the news wished he could burn down Du Tian's new home. However, the goods Luan Qi found from the northwest had just been loaded into Du's car and headed for Chang'an. I can only bear it.

Today's Tiance Admiral's Mansion is getting more and more decent. Yun Zhu and Deng Yi are in charge of the maidservants and servants in the mansion, Xi Hu is in charge of the eldest Sun Boyi's personal soldiers, Wei Ze and Wei Feng are dedicated to protecting Li Shao He didn't care about anything else, and Yu Shi followed Changsun Boyi. Although he didn't have a position, anyone outside of General Tiance's mansion would respect him when they saw him.

When he had nothing to do, Li Shao even named the various courtyards in Admiral Tiance's mansion. Although these places originally had names, after ten years of wind and rain, the plaques inscribed by the old general Changsun and his wife were either It's just too blurry to make out, or it's lost.Li Shao thought that no matter where they moved in the future, the Tiance Admiral's Mansion would definitely stay, and it would not be sold to others, so there is nothing wrong with choosing a name.

At Shen Shi, the elder Sun Boyi, who was reviewing the memorial in the East Wing, felt a little hungry, so he wandered out to find something to eat, subconsciously turned his head to look at the main room, and saw that the West Room, which was changed to Li Shao's study, had its windows open. Li Shao sits by the window and writes with his head down, peaceful and beautiful.

Changsun Boyi turned around and walked towards Westinghouse, unconsciously walking lightly.

After tiptoeing behind Li Shao, the eldest grandson Boyi saw a row of written characters on Li Shao's right hand side. Each piece of paper had only three or four characters, and at the end were words like "Pavilions, Terraces and Pavilions". Changsun Boyi glanced at it, then poked his head to look at the piece Li Shao was writing.

A shadow suddenly cast on the table, startled Li Shao's hand trembled, and a word was destroyed.

Changsun Boyi was taken aback for a moment, knowing that he had disturbed Li Shao, so he withdrew calmly and stood upright behind Li Shao, pretending that he had just arrived.

"Write what?"

Li Shao turned his head to look at his eldest son Boyi: "Why do you make no sound when you walk?"

Changsun Boyi touched his nose: "There is a voice, it's because you are too focused."

"Then why are you guilty?" Li Shaobai glanced at his elder Sun Boyi.

Boyi touched his nose when he felt guilty, why are you pretending to him?

While crumpling up the badly written words and throwing them away, Li Shao asked his elder Sun Boyi, "Have you read all the memorials?"

"No," Changsun Boyi shook his head, "I'm a little hungry."

"Then let the kitchen..."

"My lord," before Li Shao could finish his sentence, Deng Yi knocked on the door, and then pushed in. When he saw the elder Sun Boyi, he made another salute, "General. Please tell me, my lord, Mr. Du sent someone to send it to you." Wuweizhai’s dim sum, it is said that the taste of this dim sum is very suitable for Yunwu tea, let the young master try it.”

Li Shao smiled and said to grandson Boyi: "It's just right, aren't you hungry?"

Changsun Boyi's face darkened, and he gave Deng Yi an angry look: "Throw it away!"

"Throw something, that thing has no hatred against you," Li Shao got up, gently pushed away grandson Boyi and walked towards Deng Yi, "If you don't eat it, then I will eat it, and I happen to be a little hungry too."

As soon as Li Shao said he wanted to eat, Changsun Boyi suddenly strode up to Deng Yi, snatched the food box containing the snacks and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he entered the East Wing Room, slammed the door of the East Wing Room and left. There was no movement.

Li Shao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed so hard that tears flowed down his face.

"Deng Yi, send the tea set to the East Wing." After finally stopping the smile and straightening up, Li Shao wiped his tears while walking towards the East Wing.

Deng Yi responded with a smile, turned around and went to another place to choose a suitable tea set, then prepared it together with the stove and coals, and sent them to the East Wing.

Walking to the door of the East Wing, Li Shao raised his hand to push the door, only to find that the eldest Sun Boyi had actually bolted the door. Li Shao couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to go out of the window of the East Wing and open it.

"What are you doing secretly hiding in there?" Leaning against the window, Li Shao looked at his grandson Boyi with a smile.

Changsun Boyi glanced at Li Shao sullenly, his face darkened and he said nothing.

Li Shao smiled, and walked in through the window lightly: "Why do you care so much about Du Tian? Every time you hear his name, you get emotional. You didn't feel that way when you saw me."

As he said that, Li Shao glanced at Changsun Boyi with some grievances.

The eldest grandson Boyi looked at Li Shao with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "He has bad intentions for you, shouldn't I care?"

Robbers are coming at the door, how can he not care?

Li Shao sat down opposite Changsun Boyi, teasingly said: "When I also have wrong intentions towards him, it's not too late for you to care."

Hearing this, Changsun Boyi glared at Li Shao.

Li Shao smiled, just as Deng Yi passed by the window, Li Shao stopped Deng Yi and took all the tea sets from the window.

Changsun Boyi immediately put all the messy things on the desk aside, and then helped Li Shao put the tea sets on the table one by one.

Sitting opposite Changsun Boyi, Li Shao began to boil water and make tea leisurely, while Changsun Boyi looked at Li Shao intently with his head propped up.

Li Shao glanced at the grandson Boyi, and said softly, "Aren't you hungry? If you really don't want to eat that snack, let the kitchen cook something for you, and I will..."

Before Li Shao could finish speaking, eldest grandson Boyi had already opened the food box, took out the plates of exquisite snacks and put them on the table, but he placed them all in front of his eyes.

Li Shao shook his head and laughed: "I won't rob you, what are you afraid of?"

The eldest grandson Boyi picked up a piece of snack and threw it into his mouth, and asked Li Shao vaguely, "Where are the other things he gave you?"

"Tell Deng Yi to put it away." Li Shao poured two cups of tea, and handed one of them to Sun Boyi, "The things Du Tian sent are all decent things. When you come to New Years and holidays, you will give gifts to your colleagues or return them. When it’s time to buy it, you don’t need to buy it specially. He will send something every now and then, and there’s no room for such a big place to store it at home.”

"...Okay." Can those things be kept at home for the New Year?Don't be kidding, he will give it away soon!

Thinking of this, Changsun Boyi felt much more at ease. Looking at Li Shao who was only drinking tea, Changsun Boyi picked up a piece of snack and handed it over: "Didn't you just say you were hungry too?"

Li Shao raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Didn't you let me eat?"

"... dim sum is dim sum."

Li Shao chuckled lightly, put his head on the elder Sun Boyi's hand and grabbed the piece of snack, and only raised his hand to catch the remaining half when he bit it down.

"Is it delicious?" Li Shao frowned slightly as he licked off the residue on his lips, "Why do you think it doesn't taste like before?"

Hearing Li Shao's words, Changsun Boyi also said with some regret: "Probably because the master has changed, Wuweizhai has been open for many years."

Li Shao pursed his lips, and immediately lost interest in the exquisite pastries in front of him, even if his eldest grandson Boyi reached out to feed them, Li Shao would not eat them.

After finishing this afternoon tea, Deng Yi knocked on the door of the East Wing.

Changsun Boyi immediately got up and went to open the door. When he saw the post in Deng Yi's hand, his face, which had finally calmed down, suddenly darkened again.

"General," Deng Yi bowed slightly, "This is an invitation from Young Master Du to Young Master."

Elder Sun Boyi's veins popped out, and he said impatiently, "Throw it aside!"

"This..." Deng Yi poked his head and glanced at Li Shao, and said again, "It's been a month and a half since the last time you went to an appointment. appropriate?"

Li Shao raised his eyebrows: "Is this already the fifth letter?"

Du Tian sent the invitation too diligently.

Deng Yi replied under the glaring gaze of his eldest grandson, "Young Master, it is indeed the fifth letter."

"Let me take a look."

Deng Yi looked up at the elder Sun Boyi, and seeing that the elder Sun Boyi had no intention of stepping aside, Deng Yi shrunk his shoulders and squeezed into the east wing from the side of the elder Sun Boyi, and handed the invitation to Li Shao.

Li Shao opened the invitation and frowned, but he didn't say anything, he just closed the invitation, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Boyi walked up to Li Shao, and before he got an answer to his question, Changsun Boyi directly took the post in Li Shao's hand, opened it for a glance, and was so angry that he took the invitation Throw it out.

Is the maple leaf at home just right?Who is going to Du Tian's house to enjoy the maple leaves!That bastard really kicked his nose in the face!

Li Shao, who was thinking about it, was taken aback by the eldest grandson Boyi, and quickly stretched out his hand to caress the elder grandson Boyi's back, giving his grandson Boyi some comfort: "Why are you angry? I won't go."

"You dare to go!" Changsun Boyi yelled at Li Shao with his eyes wide open, but he still felt angry after thinking about it, so he turned and walked out the door.

"Eh? Where are you going?" Li Shao got up in a hurry, grabbed Changsun Boyi's arm and pulled him into a chair to sit down, then turned around and sat in Changsun Boyi's arms, "I said, what are you doing?" So angry? Du Tian can only think about it, but he can't really do anything to me, do you not trust me or what?"

"He can't even think about it!"

Li Shao stood up and said calmly: "Then you can just lock me up and find a place in General Tiance's mansion, or just open the gate of Zilan Palace again, even Deng Yi and the others will support me together." Let's go, so that no one can see me, and naturally no one will have any thoughts about me."

As soon as he heard the words "Purple Orchid Palace", Changsun Boyi's eyes were shocked, and he immediately calmed down.

"I... I didn't mean that." Changsun Boyi pulled Li Shao into his arms again, and said in a low voice, "You obviously belong to me, and it took so long for you to become mine alone."

He can guarantee that he is the person who loves Saburo the most in this world, but he knows that he is not the one who treats Saburo the best. Not to mention that he has made Saburo suffer so much, even today, most of it is Saburo. To accommodate him, he can't give Saburo all the security and happiness that ordinary people can give. Instead, he wants Saburo to spend the days of hard work and worry with him.

He really doesn't have self-confidence, if one day Sanlang gets tired, if one day Sanlang wants to be safe, how can he keep Sanlang?And Du Tian happened to be that kind of stability, even though merchants also have worries about merchants, their lives are much more stable than those of court politicians who are always in danger of their lives.

He is not afraid of Yongning, nor is he afraid that any person in the court who is more talented than him will fall in love with Saburo, but he is afraid of a merchant, he is even afraid of a commoner who falls in love with Saburo, what those people can give to Saburo, he will never be able to give.

"It's up to me to say that," Li Shao softened his body and leaned in front of Changsun Boyi, "I've been looking forward to a day like this for a long time, and I'm afraid that one day you'll be tired and you'll fall in love with someone else." of someone.

With your current status and status, there are as many people who want to be the other owner of Admiral Tiance's Mansion. Is there anyone who looks better than me?Is there anyone who pleases you more than me?Is there anyone more capable than me?What to do if someone forces you into a political marriage?What if you foolishly fell into someone else's trap?

I don't go out often, it's not that I don't like to move, I'm just afraid that if I leave, someone else will take my place. I have done so much not just for you, I just want to give myself more The odds are divided, I want you to have one more reason to choose me. "

"Sanlang..." Elder Sun Boyi hugged Li Shao tightly.

Li Shao smiled: "So don't be afraid, I don't like anyone except you, I won't go anywhere except you, even if one day you fall in love with someone else, I will kill him , and lock you up in a place only I know."

The eldest grandson Boyi hugged Li Shao even tighter.

Looking up at the elder Sun Boyi, Li Shao smiled softly: "Are you afraid?"

Changsun Boyi shook his head: "As long as I'm by your side, I'm not afraid of anything."

"That's good." Li Shao straightened up and looked at the grandson Boyi with a smile, but what he said was to Deng Yi, "Deng Yi, tell Du Tian that there is a maple forest in the south of the city that is very beautiful at this time. It is definitely incomparable to the scenery in the courtyard, after three days, if he is free, he will gather in the maple forest in the south of the city."

The emotion in Changsun Boyi's heart dissipated instantly, he raised his head and looked at Li Shao helplessly: "You just want me to agree?"

To deceive his feelings.

Li Shao smiled and shook his head: "No, I have to go whether you agree or not, otherwise how can I make money to support you?"

As he said that, Li Shao bowed his head, and placed a light kiss on the forehead of Changsun Boyi: "Everything I said just now is from the heart, you should be careful about this, if you dare to hook up with someone else's little goblin, I will give you a kiss." Just rape you!"

Changsun Boyi smiled lightly: "You say so, I really want to try it."

Bite on the tip of Changsun Boyi's nose, Li Shao stood up from Changsun Boyi's arms.

"Where are you going?" Changsun Boyi quickly grabbed Li Shao's wrist.

Li Shao grabbed a memorial from the table and shook it in his hand: "General Changsun, you haven't finished reading your memorial yet."

Looking at the memorial, Zhangsun Boyi made a bitter face: "Sanlang, help me."

Li Shao turned his head to look at his eldest grandson Boyi, and smiled brightly: "You have a good idea."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Shao broke away from Elder Sun Boyi's hand, casually threw the memorial back on the table, and left without hesitation.

The eldest grandson Boyi smiled, called someone to put away the tea set, and sat back to continue reviewing the memorial without any complaints.

But Li Shao, who walked out of the East Wing, turned around and looked at the eldest Sun Boyi who was working hard, but his expression was not bright.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shao turned around and walked to the back of Admiral Tiance's mansion.

The second time I stopped in front of the ancestral hall of the eldest grandson's family, looking up at the mottled plaque, but Li Shao couldn't move because of the word "ancestral hall" engraved on it.

There are so many door plaques in Admiral Tiance's mansion that are not in good shape, but this one on the lintel of the ancestral hall is still intact, although there are many mottled traces, but the lettering painted with gold powder on it is still so vivid, as if there is really something there. Blessed by the ancestors of the eldest grandson's family, every time Li Shao saw this door plaque, Li Shao was terrified.

After standing in front of the ancestral hall for half an hour, Li Shaocai finally mustered up the courage to move forward, stepped heavily on the stone steps in front of the ancestral hall, and then pushed open the heavy wooden door.

It was not the first time for Li Shao to come to the ancestral hall of the eldest grandson's family. When he was young, his eldest grandson Boyi was always punished here for his mistakes. Li Shao always secretly came here to deliver food to his eldest grandson Boyi. The ancestral hall was used as a place to play and play. Every time I came to this ancestral hall, there were only him and Changsun Boyi in the ancestral hall. There was no Yongning or Jie Jun standing in the way. They could say whatever they wanted to each other.

But today, many years later, he already knows how solemn the ancestral hall is to a family. He is in awe, but he is also afraid because of this awe.He is no longer the innocent child he was back then, nor is he the proud young man. Now he is full of conspiracy and blood on his hands. He can let himself like this return to Boyi's side, but he dare not face the things that once took care of him. elders.

They all hoped that he could become a magnanimous gentleman, but he became the most despicable villain they despise.

Every time Li Shao takes a step forward, his heart beats faster, and there are many thoughts in his mind, but Li Shao still dare not raise his eyes to look at the spiritual tablets neatly arranged on the desk.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shao, with his head down, finally saw the futon placed in front of the sacrificial altar.

Li Shao bypassed the futon, stood in front of the sacrificial altar with his head down, took a deep breath, and finally raised his head slowly.

The first thing that catches the eye is naturally the spirit tablet of Changsun Boyi's father. Li Shao stared at the small characters on the tablet, and the voice and smile of the old general Changsun appeared in front of his eyes in an instant. .

Li Shao stood straight in front of the sacrificial altar, not even noticing the two lines of tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

"General... How are you?" Li Shao raised the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, "I have been living in the mansion for so long, but I haven't been able to visit the general for so long, please don't blame the general."

Li Shao took out three incense sticks from the drawer under the sacrificial table, lit them in the flame at the top of the white candle beside him, retreated back and knelt down on the futon, kowtowed reverently, then stood up, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then turned back Kneeling on the futon.

"After hesitating for a long time, I think I should come to see the general, I..."

Li Shao couldn't say what he was going to say, Li Shao frowned, and said something else as soon as the subject changed.

"Actually, I have always wanted to ask the general why he accepted the marriage of Sejong. Boyi is obviously the eldest son of the eldest grandson's family. I also know that you have high expectations for him, general. Under Boyi, there are three My brother is younger than me anyway, why did you choose Boyi? Is it your wish, Boyi's wish, or Sejong's persecution?

It's a pity that I am timid, afraid of hearing the answer I don't want to hear, and also afraid of losing Boyi after hearing the answer, so I haven't asked, and now I can't ask anymore, but I don't know what to see now, General Have you ever regretted accepting this marriage?If I didn't have the marriage contract back then, I probably wouldn't be so attached to Boyi. If I wasn't attached, he and I wouldn't be here today.

But I probably won’t be able to let go of Boyi for the rest of my life. I’m here today to plead guilty to the general. If the general refuses to forgive me, then find a way to take me to the general’s side. Apart from that, maybe there is nothing else The method can tell me to leave Boyi. "

"If he dares to take you away, I will dare to snatch you back!"

Saburo doesn't need to come here to explain to the ancestors of the eldest grandson's family, this is his business with Saburo, it has nothing to do with other people, let alone these people are dead, even if they are alive, they can't control his business !

Another person's voice suddenly sounded in the silent ancestral hall, and Li Shao, who was a little scared at first, trembled in fright, and turned his head to see his grandson Boyi standing at the door, but it was already pitch black outside the door.

"Why is it getting dark?" Li Shao was a little surprised.

"Isn't it?" Changsun Boyi entered the door with a dissatisfied expression on his face, "You used to always say that time flies when you are with my father, it seems that even if he can no longer speak, this has not changed. It doesn't matter, There is no palace ban here, no ban on anything, you can do whatever you want."

No matter how he heard it, he felt that Changsun Boyi's words were wrong. Li Shaobai gave Changsun Boyi a look, then turned his back to Changsun Boyi: "Your memorials are all finished?"

"It's getting dark, what do you think?" Changsun Boyi stared at the back of Li Shao's head, "Do you think I'm bothering you?"

Li Shao couldn't help turning his head and glaring at eldest Sun Boyi: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of your father!"

"No matter how ridiculous you are, you want him to listen?" Changsun Boyi snorted coldly, "Every time I see my father, his eyes shine."

"Where do I have it?!"

"Have you stayed enough?" Ignoring Li Shao's plea, the elder Sun Boyi took two steps forward, "I only stayed for a while and I thought about going to him, and if I let you stay for a while, you will have to remarry. Let's go."

Saying that, Changsun Boyi grabbed Li Shao's arm and picked him up.

Li Shao couldn't laugh or cry: "I haven't married you yet!"

After being disturbed by Boyi, the heavy atmosphere disappeared.

"Stop talking nonsense," eldest grandson Boyi led Li Shao out, "you are forbidden to come to the ancestral hall in the future, and you are not allowed to meet my father again."

Li Shao kicked the elder Sun Boyi: "Can there be a serious sentence?"

"No."

The two left noisily, and neither of them looked back at the ancestral hall.
