The runaway general of the black-bellied book

It can be said that the two of them broke up after the meal, and the atmosphere was so dull that it almost solidified. One was bored eating food, and the other was bored drinking.

Li Yuze finished eating first, and sat obediently waiting for Fang Yimin.

Fang Yimin finished eating slowly, put down his chopsticks, and wiped his mouth slowly.

He glanced at Li Yuze, who was fidgeting, and said, "Congyi, have you eaten?"

Li Yuze nodded, hesitated for a moment, and explained: "Zilan, actually, what I said just now didn't mean that..."

He didn't know how to describe his abnormality, and felt that there was nothing to explain——

This is actually his true thought, but there is another kind of inexplicable anxiety and uneasiness hovering in his heart. It has started since the time he heard Fang Yimin's name appearing in those two people's mouths, and he can't get rid of it. Lose.

He suddenly had a crazy idea—take this person in front of him as his own, let his body and mind belong to him, then he would no longer have the desire to run out...

What kind of messy flower viewing feast!His treasures should be put away in a safe place, not to be coveted and snooped by anyone but him.

Fang Yimin's drinking capacity is light, but today he drank nearly ten cups without hesitation.

When he left the private room, he almost had double visions, and Li Yuze hugged his waist so that he wouldn't fall down.

"Zilan, slow down, don't go in such a hurry..."

Li Yuze carefully held the waist of the person in his arms, and the feeling of grasping it made his crazy thoughts come back again.

After finally getting down the stairs, Lingxi was already waiting downstairs.With her help, Li Yuze helped Fang Yimin into the carriage, and when he was about to leave, he heard his friend calling his name.

"Li Yuze."

Li Yuze moved closer, trying to hear what Fang Yimin was saying.

Fang Yimin called again: "Congyi..."

Li Yuze touched his drunken red face, and said softly, "I'm here."

"Why...you can't..."

—Why are you pushing me away?Let me go to that flower viewing party?Do you still want me to marry someone else?

——I already care about you so much, can't you... care about me a little more?

Even if it's just a little bit... that's fine.

Fang Yimin looked very sad, his dark eyes looked at Li Yuze without blinking.

Maybe it was wet by some liquid, his eyes were shining brightly, revealing a kind of fragility that makes one's heart soften.

Li Yuze was confused, but still coaxed him gently: "Can I do something? Zilan, tell me, as long as I can do it, I can do it."

Fang Yimin shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Forget it...you don't understand at all."

The sadness in his tone was so obvious that Li Yuze was a little dazed, looking at him and muttering: "Zi Lan..."

Fang Yimin stopped talking, as if he didn't want to communicate with the person in front of him, he turned his head and ordered his maid to help him: "Lingxi, let's go back to the mansion."

Seeing this, Li Yuze could only retreat from the carriage.

After a barely audible sigh, Li Yuze kept looking at Fang Yimin's distant figure with concern, until he could no longer see him before getting up and returning home.

------

When Li Yuze returned home, Shen Shi had just passed.

He walked into the middle hall, saw his parents inside, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Father, mother, the child is back."

After greeting his parents, Li Yuze wanted to go back to his room to rest, but his mother stopped him.

Li Yan and Mrs. Li were drinking tea and chatting in the hall, and before they knew it, the topic turned to the flower appreciation banquet hosted by His Majesty.

The children in their family, Li Yujun and Li Yuze, were all over the age, but neither of them had the intention.

The youngest daughter, Li Zitong, is about to reach the age of marriage, so Mrs. Li couldn't help but pay more attention to this flower viewing feast.

"Yi'er, what's the matter today? Why do you look like... you don't have much energy?"

Mrs. Li sat beside Li Yan, looking at her son worriedly.

Li Yuze shook his head, and said listlessly: "Mom, I'm fine, maybe I'm tired after going out for a day today."

"Who did Yi Er go out with today and what did he do?" asked his father Li Yan.

Li Yuze replied: "With Zilan, we didn't go anywhere, we just wandered around Zhuojing City...then we had lunch at Wanxiang Tower."

"Then why are you so tired?" Mrs. Li was a little worried, "It's been cold in spring recently, and the weather is cold. Could it be that you're sick?"

Li Yuze has always been physically strong, and he never expected this possibility.After being reminded by his mother, he realized later that his temples were throbbing with pain, which was obviously a sign of the attack after the cold wind blew too much.

Li Yuze sighed, feeling a little helpless—in the past, the Tian □□ Army did not have a headache when they fought... Could it be that his body has become delicate after returning from Shuobei?

He shook his head and comforted his mother, saying: "Mother, don't worry, let the small kitchen make some ginger soup today, and tomorrow I will rest for a day, and I promise that I will be alive and kicking again the day after tomorrow."

"You child..." Mrs. Li looked at him, poked her son's forehead lightly, and said helplessly, "It's hard for you to come home, and His Majesty has promised you so many days of free time." , I wanted you to take a good rest! It’s good for you, you still hang around outside all day! It’s exactly the same as when you were a child, you can’t relax at all, and you are disobedient.”

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my mother." Li Yuze sat between his parents, with one arm in his arms, "Then from tomorrow, I won't leave the house for half a step, so I can just rest at home for a while, okay?"

Mrs. Li twisted his face in dissatisfaction: "Congyi, you always speak well."

"Hey, mother, it hurts, it hurts!!! Let go, let go, let go..." Li Yuze held his old mother's hand, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "I will be honest this time, and I will not run around! I promise in the name of my father!" !"

Li Yan watched his son regain his lively appearance, and said with a smile: "You boy, obviously your mother trained you, so what's the use of me as a guarantee?"

Li Yuze looked at his father and said with a chuckle: "Father, as the saying goes, father and son are of the same heart...Mother scolded me, why don't you protect me?"

"You will put a high hat on me." Li Yan stroked his beard and laughed again, "It seems that next time your mother scolds you, I won't be able to do it unless I protect you."

Li Yuze smiled again, and immediately said kindly: "Then my son will thank Father first!"

In this way, the family of three sat together, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Li Yuze suddenly paused, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Father, mother, can you tell me...how did you meet?"

Mrs. Li and her husband looked at each other, and looked at their son in surprise: "Cong Yi, why are you asking this?"

Li Yan had an expression of seeing through everything: "Yi'er wants to learn from us! Haha, it seems that our son already has a woman he likes? When will we hear the good news? Don't you need your mother to contact their family? The matter of the three media and six hires can't be sloppy, and you must not wrong the girls!"

The corners of Li Yuze's mouth twitched, he didn't expect his own father to have thought so far.He thought for a moment, then struggled: "It's not entirely true..."

Fang Yimin's words...can it be counted?Does he like each other?Ke Zilan is not a woman...?

Li Yuze himself didn't understand why he suddenly asked his parents this question, as if by accident, he wanted to hear the love story of his parents' generation.

"What do you mean by not exactly?" Li Yan lowered his body and warned Li Yuze solemnly, "Congyi, if you are really in love with someone else's girl, then you must not let her down! Be a man! , must be responsible to others, you know?"

The father's tone was very serious: "Especially those things that go beyond etiquette, before you marry into our family, you must not do it with others. Be measured, you know!"

Li Yuze blushed from his father's admonition: "Father, what are you talking about... I'm just asking a question, I'm just curious, and I don't have anyone I like yet."

Li Yan and his wife looked at each other, and began to think about how to tell their stories back then.

The couple looked over Li Yuze who was sitting in the middle, you looked at me, I looked at you, thinking of those old things, they laughed in unison.

"Well...how should I put it..." Mrs. Li slowly opened her mouth as she recalled the past.

"At that time your father was my father's protégé, and he would often come home to ask my father for advice. He came and went... I got to know him, but he didn't know me." Mrs. Li recalled with a smile. Li Yan stretched out his hand and held her hands.

"Indeed... It was too late when I realized that I was in love with you." Li Yan had been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and the ignorance and youthfulness of that year had long since disappeared. I am deeply moved. "Fortunately, I didn't miss you."

Li Yuze had already sat down at the lower end tactfully, listening intently to his parents telling the story of the year.

Mrs. Li said: "He was really an idiot at the time. I obviously liked him, but he always kept a distance from me, saying that he couldn't be rude to me... almost drove me to death!"

Li Yuze felt as if he had been shot by an arrow in his knee.

Li Yan was not angry at all after being scolded by his wife like this: "I was indeed too stupid at the time, it's normal for your mother to be angry."

"So mother, did you just give up like this?" Li Yuze asked.

Mrs. Li glanced at her son and said with a smile: "If I gave up at the beginning, where did you come from now... No, I didn't give up, and I'm not angry. In fact, who told me to fall in love with a piece of wood? I can't get it right, I look at him day by day, but I want to see him more and more day by day."

She squinted her eyes, as if recalling the scene at that time.

Although the years have left traces on her face, Mrs. Li's eyes and eyebrows reveal a natural girlish look, as if the beautiful cardamom years decades ago have never left, and they remain fresh in time.

Li Yuze asked: "Then what happened later? How did dad get enlightened later?"

Mrs. Li smiled: "Later, I also gradually reached the age when I was about to leave the court. Many people came to the house to propose marriage, but they couldn't see your father for a long time. I was really anxious at the time... angry and anxious , tell your grandfather in a fit of anger, just find someone to marry—anyway, there is no one that I see right."

"Your father was stimulated like this. He came to me, and I realized that he was obsessed with some things at the time and had no time to propose marriage... He begged me not to marry someone else, and begged me to wait for him for a while."

"So mother, you just agreed?"

"Well, aren't you a little silly?" Mrs. Li looked at her son and smiled slightly.

Li Yuze didn't know whether to nod or shake his head, so he could only ask awkwardly: "But, what if, what if dad doesn't come to the door again..."

——The atmosphere in Dayan is quite open now, and women are much more free to get married than before.If it was placed in Mrs. Li's era, it would take a lot of courage to refuse everyone's marriage proposals just for a promise that I don't know if it can be fulfilled, and maybe even my own good years will be wasted... I missed the past few years If you want to propose marriage, it will be even more difficult if you want to get married again.

Mrs. Li didn't say what would happen to her if Li Yan didn't come, she just shook her head and denied it lightly: "I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just believed in him, I believed that he would definitely come to marry me... In other words, if Li Yan doesn't come I don't even have this trust, so why choose your father as my husband?"

When she said this, her chin lifted slightly, and her tone was full of pride and confidence, as if the radiance of that high-spirited girl had been well protected and had never been obliterated by the world.

Perhaps because of a feeling in his heart, Li Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed his wife.

Madam's hands are not as tender as they used to be, but these hands are the hands that accompany him through the ups and downs.

They held hands like this and worked hard together, one master outside the other master inside, and only then did they have this mansion and their three children.

These hands once cooked soup for him, once hugged Li Yuze, Li Yujun and Li Zitong, and once again gave him the strength to straighten his spine at countless moments when Li Yan felt that he could not hold on.

Thinking of this, Li Yan didn't even care that it was still in front of his son.He took his wife's hand and kissed it preciously.

Mrs. Li, who was still proud just now, suddenly became gentle again.

She couldn't help blushing, and reprimanded in a low voice, but her tone seemed to be coquettish: "Why all of a sudden...the child is still here!"

Li Yan didn't give his son the slightest look, but kissed her on the back of the hand again, and reviewed himself with a smile: "It's hard to control myself all of a sudden, I can't hold back...Madam, don't blame me."

Li Yuze: ...
