The entrance to the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion was already full of people. The first old woman was Li Zuoguo's mother Wen. Ariel was supported by two maids and stood behind Wen with a big belly. Wen was originally Ariel didn't want to come out to greet Li Zuoguo. If Ariel refused to do anything, it would be up to her.
At this time, all the people within a hundred meters of the door of the mansion were separated by the soldiers. The cheers came from the distance, getting closer and closer. There was also an excited look on Mrs. Wen's face. Li Ru and The two little guys Li Zhongyang were not afraid of anything, and they were held in the arms of their wet nurses in this atmosphere.
The cheers had already moved to the main street where the Duhu Mansion was located, and in a blink of an eye, a majestic black war horse was seen galloping first. On the horse sat a man wearing a lion head leopard pattern armor, a Dengyun Ni throat helmet on his head, and a cage behind him. The blood-colored cloak and the short chin beard set off a face with Chinese characters, and the heroism conveys a kind of calm majesty. It is Li Zuoguo who has arrived.
Li Zuoguo did not expect that his mother would personally greet him at the door of the mansion. When he saw Li Zuoguo of the Wen family dismounting from his horse at the door of the mansion, he pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar and fell to his knees.
"Mother, the uncle is back. Children are unfilial and cannot serve their mothers." Li Zuoguo's voice trembled. He had been away for such a long time. Wen's past love for him had been deeply engraved in his heart. Li Zuoguo's mother's cry willingly.
Seeing Li Zuoguo kneeling in front of her, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but shed tears. She quickly walked down the stone steps at the door, pulled Li Zuoguo up and looked him up and down, and said with tears: "Don't say that, sir. A good man should have his ambitions in all directions. Mother, look at you, Da Lang, you have grown taller and look more and more like your father." As he said this, Mrs. Wen started to cry again.
Ariel slowly walked to Mrs. Wen and whispered softly: "Mom, you should be happy that Dalang is back, otherwise Dalang will be unhappy."
Mrs. Wen quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, stepped aside and said, "Da Lang, your wife and children, during your absence, your three wives and concubines have all helped me a lot."
Li Zuoguo and Ariel looked at each other with smiles. They had not seen each other for many days. Due to pregnancy, Ariel had gained a lot of weight, and the youthfulness between her eyebrows had completely faded. Ariel looked at Li Zuoguo, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Zuoguo took a step forward, gently took his wife into his arms, being careful not to touch Ariel's belly, and whispered in Ariel's ear: "Ariel, I'm sorry for you, our child." well enough?"
Ariel didn¡¯t say anything. She leaned her head on Li Zuoguo¡¯s broad arms and shed tears. Wen said, ¡°Go into the house, why are you standing outside? Come in quickly.¡±
Li Zuoguo had already seen Xiaoyun and Xiaohuan standing behind. The two women were so excited that they burst into tears. Li Zuoguo nodded gently. The two women gave Li Zuoguo a blessing. It was considered a blessing and the group went in. , Li Yi and Chu Tianshu, who had come to greet them at the city gate, and a group of civil and military officials from Qiuci, turned around and left knowingly. Li Zuoguo had just come back, and he must have reunited with his family first, and there was nothing important going on in Anxi. , so I won¡¯t bother Li Zuoguo.
Mrs. Wen walked into the house first and ordered: "Hurry up and heat up the water. Prepare bath water for Da Lang, and prepare wine and food. Da Lang will use it when he comes out of the bath."
Li Zuoguo smiled as he watched his mother directing the several stewards around, feeling peace, joy and warmth in his heart. He walked into the hall and sat down first. Li Zuoguo did not rush to wash up, but asked about Ariel's physical condition, and then talked to Wen After talking about things at home, Li Zuoguo noticed the two little guys at Xiaoyun's feet. The two little guys peeked at the stranger Li Zuoguo curiously with their big eyes.
Li Ru was older and more courageous. She tilted her head and looked at Li Zuoguo with her little finger in her mouth, while Li Zhongyang was younger and did not see Li Zuoguo in his image. He hid a little timidly by Xiaoyun's legs and just looked at him. With half of his face exposed, he was also observing Li Zuoguo curiously.
Li Zuoguo showed a happy face, leaned down and said, "Who is this beautiful little beauty? Who is the young man behind?"
The adults in the hall all watched with smiles as Li Zuoguo talked and teased Li Ru and Li Zhongyang. The little girl looked at Li Zuoguo seriously, opened her mouth and said, "You are what mother said, my brother, right? Mother said you would bring a lot when you come back." Give the delicious food to Ru'er, right?"
Li Zuoguo laughed loudly: "Yes, I am your brother, and I have brought you delicious food. But if you want delicious food, you have to call me brother properly."
Li Ru was not afraid of anything, so she quickly ran up to Li Zuoguo. She stretched her white hands under Li Zuoguo's nose and shouted: "Brother, where is the delicious food?"
At this time, another chubby hand also reached out to Li Zuoguo: "Brother, Xiaoxin also wants something delicious." It turned out that it was Li Zuoguo's son Li Zhongyang. When he heard that there was something delicious, he quickly followed his little aunt to ask for it. wanted.
Li Ru glanced at Li Zhongyang angrily and said angrily: "You know how to eat it, and you ran so fast when you heard it was delicious."
Li Zuoguo was dumbfounded. His son actually called him brother. Where did this come from? Everyone in the hall looked at each other and started laughing. The maids and servants didn't dare to laugh. They all shrugged their shoulders and endured the hard work. But Mrs. Wen laughed very heartily. This was the first time since Li Siye's death that Mrs. Wen did so. Happy.
Xiaoyun walked forward with a smile, squatted down and held Li Zhongyang's shoulders, pointed at Li Zuoguo and said: "Xiaoxin, this is your father, you want to call him daddy, not brother, your little aunt can call him brother. "
Li Zhongyang tilted his head and looked at Li Zuoguo, with intimacy and hesitation in his eyes: "He is his father? Why haven't Xiaoxin seen him before?"
Li Zuoguo felt sour in his heart that his son didn't even recognize him. However, Li Zuoguo had been prepared. He waved his hand and a soldier at the door quickly stepped forward and took out several beautifully packaged small bags from a bag on his back. The box, this is Chang'an Jingfuxuan's exquisite candied fruit, Li Zuoguo bought it specially to please his son and sister.
Li Zuoguo slowly opened a box, revealing the brightly colored pulp inside, and said seductively: "Xiaoxin, this is delicious food that daddy sold to you. It's very sweet. Come on, call daddy and I'll give it to you."
Li Zhongyang hesitated for a long time, then looked back at his mother. When he saw Xiaoyun's smile and encouraging look in his eyes, he walked up to Li Zuoguo and called out in a low voice: "Daddy."
Li Zuoguo was overjoyed. His son didn't show up until he could speak and recognize people. He didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear of scaring his son. Li Zuoguo put the box of preserves in his hand in front of his son. Li Zhongyang became happy and narrowed his big eyes. He stretched out his little hand, grabbed a piece of candied fruit and put it in his mouth.
Li Ru looked on from the side and was very dissatisfied. She pouted and said, "I want it first, but you won't give it to me, huh."
Li Zuoguo quickly brought two small boxes to Li Ru, and Li Ru also became happy. Children are like this, they switch between unhappy and happy very quickly. Jing Fuxuan's candied fruit is very delicious. Li Zhongyang is smiling after eating it. Li Zuoguo is careful He wanted to pick up his son, but Li Zhongyang glanced at Li Zuoguo. He felt that this father was pretty good and had brought him delicious food, so he let Li Zuoguo pick him up.
Li Zuoguo carefully held his two-year-old son in his hands with his big hands. He didn't know how to be careful. His hands, which could carry the eighty-pound Bawangguai gun like a windmill for an hour without getting tired, were actually trembling slightly. Li Zuoguo's body She hadn't taken off her armor yet, so she didn't dare to hold her son too close, for fear that the armor would rest on her son. She looked at her son who was concentrating on eating with his small mouth raised. His eyebrows and eyes were similar to his own, but his face shape was similar to Xiao Huan's, making him look more delicate. , Li Zuoguo's heart was filled with the feeling of licking the calf.
Xiaoyun looked at Li Zuoguo's clumsy look with a smile, and her heart was full of happiness. Xiaohuan pouted, and she also wanted a child strongly in her heart. Ariel smiled and touched her belly, Li Zuoguo's love for his son Much to Ariel's delight.
Li Zuoguo suddenly put Li Zhongyang into Xiaoyun's arms, turned around and rushed out the door, leaving a sentence: "I'm going to change clothes and freshen up right away, and I'll come back later to hold my son, haha."
The happy laughter went away in an instant, which showed how anxious Li Zuoguo was in his heart. Ariel and the three girls looked at each other and pursed their lips and smiled. Li Zuoguo had always been dignified and majestic since they got married. It was rare for him to be so childish. Wen Shi smiled. Then he said to Xiaohuan: "Why don't you go and serve your husband? Many rooms in the house have been renovated. Don't lose sight of the way. Come as soon as you finish washing. It's rare for our family to have a reunion dinner."
Xiaohuan couldn't help but blush after hearing what Wenshi said, "Come here after washing up." She knew that the old lady was doing it for her own good. Ariel was about to give birth, and Xiaoyun had already given birth to a son. She was the only one left, and he was the old lady. What I particularly liked was that the old lady was giving herself a chance. She responded with a sound as thin as a mosquito's fly, lowered her head and left the hall door.
Ariel and Xiaoyun both looked at it with smiles, knowing what Mr. Wen meant. Li Zuoguo was the only son in the Li family. Now the task of spreading the branches fell on Li Zuoguo. Li Zuoguo only had one wife and two concubines, and his only son was Li Zhongyang. One, the ancients emphasized having many children and grandchildren, and the two women could understand Wen's thoughts.
As expected, Li Zuoguo went to the wrong place. The original door leading to the inner house had been sealed and was moved in another direction. Li Zuoguo had no choice but to grab a servant and ask for the way. Then he turned back and happened to meet Xiao Huan who was looking for him. Xiaohuan took Li Zuoguo to the small building where he lived. Naturally, a maid came to bring the clean clothes.
Xiaohuan personally adjusted the hot water for Li Zuoguo. Li Zuoguo sat in the wooden barrel with just the right water temperature and sighed comfortably. He hadn't had a good soak in the month of journey. He felt so comfortable in the water that his soul was about to fly.When he got up, Xiaohuan was only wearing a small shirt and shorts. He took a linen towel and helped Li Zuoguo rub his back.
From time to time, her little hands touched Li Zuoguo's muscular body. Xiaohuan and Li Zuoguo had been married for a long time. Every time she saw Li Zuoguo's muscular body, she would be fascinated, and her pretty face could not help but turn redder and redder. She didn't know whether it was because of her heart. What I thought was that the heat in the bathroom was too high, and the little hands rubbing Li Zuoguo's body didn't have much strength.
Li Zuoguo had been struggling to endure it for a long time. Xiaohuan had big breasts, small buttocks, and a very hot figure. Coupled with her crystal white skin, Li Zuoguo, who had not known the taste of flesh for more than half a year, had his eyes glued to Xiaohuan's body and couldn't pull it off. When Xiaohuan rubbed Li Zuoguo's chest, Li Zuoguo couldn't bear it anymore when he looked at the snow-white and bottomless ravine on Xiaohuan's chest.
As soon as he stretched out his strong arms, Xiao Huan let out a suppressed scream, and was carried into the barrel by Li Zuoguo as the water splashed everywhere. Xiao Huan was panting and just screamed: "Dalang, you" Li Zuoguo grabbed his little mouth. She stopped, and the tube top on her chest was pulled off by Li Zuoguo's arrogant force. Just as her plump and round breasts bounced out, before she could proudly stand up straight, she was immediately grabbed by Li Zuoguo's big hands. With Li Zuoguo's gentle movements, Rubbing it slowly, all Xiaohuan's words turned into fiery enthusiasm. With a backhand, Xiaohuan's plump and fair arms wrapped around Li Zuoguo's neck.
It was just the autumn wind that hardly came when spring came, and the little farewell only added to the feeling of reunion. Li Zuoguo took a bath for nearly two hours, washing from the wooden bucket to Xiaohuan's bed, and then from the bed to the wooden bucket. I don¡¯t know when the flowers bloomed and faded. When Li Zuoguo, wearing a dark robe, walked out of Xiaohuan¡¯s small building refreshed, Xiaohuan had to be supported by two maids before he could go out. It was already dinner time. It's time.
Looking at Xiaohuan¡¯s satisfied yet angry eyes, Li Zuoguo laughed and dragged himself towards the front hall.
Wen made a large table with Li Zuoguo's favorite dishes. The Li family did not eat separately according to the custom of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, they ate directly at a large table. The family sat around and ate together. The tables and chairs were in Anxi It is already a relatively common thing, and people in Anxi have discovered the benefits of chairs.
Kneeling on the floor is not a big deal for young people, but for people with bad legs or old age, sitting on the floor kneeling like this is very unbearable, so Li Zuo¡¯s country always uses chairs, whether for eating or drinking tea. .
Li Zuoguo held his son Li Zhongyang in his arms and sat on Mrs. Wen's left hand side. He patiently picked up the vegetables according to his son's pointing, and then patiently fed his son. Seeing Li Zhongyang eating the vegetables, Li Zuoguo felt happy and raised his head from time to time. Exchanging glances with Ariel and Xiaoyun, Li Zuoguo felt that he was surrounded by happiness.
Li Zhongyang has accepted Li Zuoguo. This father not only brings him delicious food, but also likes to play with him. A child's simple heart can best know who is really good to him. His little mouth is already shouting sweetly, " Daddy, I want that, Daddy, I want this," instructing Li Zuoguo to pick up food for him. Li Zuoguo grinned every time he heard Li Zhongyang's milky "Daddy".
Xiaohuan's lazy expression let everyone at the dinner table know what Li Zuoguo had done with her that afternoon. Xiaohuan also felt very shy and kept her head bowed in silence, but the spring on her eyebrows revealed a joyful flavor, as if The flowers, watered by a spring rain, suddenly exuded an astonishing beauty.
Mrs. Wen looked at the way Li Zuoguo doted on Li Zhongyang and said, "Dalang, don't dote on Xiaoxin too much. It's not good to dote on a boy too much. Your father was not like you when you were a child."
Li Zuoguo took a piece of mutton for his son, put down his chopsticks and said to his mother: "Xiaoxin is still young. He is only two years old now. It doesn't matter if you love him a little now. When he is five years old, I will naturally urge him to start practicing martial arts. As for studying essays, the master will naturally I will take over, the master told me, Xiaoxin will start to take a bath after he is three years old, and he will start taking baths with medicinal water, which will be of great benefit to his body and future martial arts practice, mother, I will naturally save it."
Mrs. Wen nodded and said, "That's good. Have you gone to greet your master when you come back?"
Li Zuoguo nodded: "I went there after taking a shower in the afternoon, and I also met Chang Nu. Chang Nu's skills are already very impressive now. This martial arts disciple taught by the master is really powerful. I competed with him, and his strength is actually amazing." If he wasn't inferior to me, I really don't know how his thin body could have such great strength?"
Wenshi said: "Yes, if it hadn't been for Chang Nu, the killers who rushed into the house a few days ago would have done a lot of harm. This kid almost slapped Li Yidu to death, saying that he put me in danger. , Chang Nu is really a solid-minded child, his psychological burden is too heavy, Dalang, you have to persuade him."
Li Zuoguo nodded and said: "I will have a good talk with Chang Nu, but I also want to give this guy Li Yi a beating. I dare to arrange such a dangerous thing. If something happens to my mother?Can't spare him. "
Li Zuoguo thought of the uprising organized by Qin Yizhou and said with a sneer: "It seems that there are still people who are interested in the Tang Dynasty. They have forgotten that my reputation, Li Zuoguo, was gained through fighting." Li Zuoguo's words were murderous.
Suddenly Li Zuoguo felt that the surroundings had become quiet. He looked up and saw that his wife and concubines were all looking at him angrily. Li Ru and his son were frightened by the sudden murderous aura from Li Zuoguo. Li Ru had already run behind Mr. Wen and was timidly looking at him. Looking at his big brother, Li Zhongyang's face turned pale in Li Zuoguo's arms, and he didn't dare to chew the mutton in his mouth.
Li Zuoguo started fighting in battle at the age of fifteen and killed countless people. Although there was no chance of life-and-death fights with the enemy later, the pressure of the superiors became stronger and stronger. He had countless warriors and hundreds of thousands of arrogant soldiers. General Li Zuoguo is always trembling with fear in front of Li Zuoguo. For a strong general like Li Hu who is in charge of his role, General Li Zuoguo will be frightened and at a loss when he looks straight on his face.
Li Zuoguo was unhappy. This showed a little bit of murderous intent. It was like the temperature in the entire dining room suddenly dropped by ten degrees. Arier and the three girls knew Li Zuoguo very well. It was a little better, but the two little guys were frightened. Li Zhongyang had a small mouth. Li Ru was so upset that she almost cried and ran to Wenshi for protection. Children are very sensitive to the atmosphere. This angered Li Zuoguo's mother, Wenshi, and she immediately glared at Li Zuoguo. .
Li Zuoguo looked at Mr. Wen's angry eyes and immediately smiled and laughed. He picked up his son and kissed his cheek. He raised his chopsticks and said to please: "Eat, eat, Xiaoxin, do you want to eat that dish? Daddy will give it to you." Take it"
