    The spring breeze was warm, the grass was growing, and warblers were flying. A kingfisher landed on a branch in the front yard of Li's family and made a clear and sweet chirp.  Suddenly, a pebble shot toward the bird from under the tree like lightning. The bird was frightened and hurriedly fluttered its wings and flew away. In mid-air, it reluctantly circled the ginkgo tree and chirped a few times. It must have been a curse.  Li Su put the slingshot in his hand back on the short table and murmured: "It's so noisy, it affects my mood of squeezing blackheads" Under the ginkgo tree, two small feathers were frightened by the slingshot.  Floating down leisurely, Li Su looked as if he hadn't seen him. Standing in front of him was Xu Mingzhu, holding a bronze mirror in his hand. His lips were tightly pursed and she was suppressing a smile, while Li Su was facing the mirror and grinning.  Despite his blackheads, his expression was very serious, as if he was doing something important that related to his family, country, and world. The ferocious look on his face showed that his mood was not as warm and warm as the sunshine at the moment.  The two index fingers concentrated on a certain point on the face, exerted force at the same time, and launched an attack on that point. Under the action of the force, a blackhead was reluctantly squeezed out by him. Li Su exhaled with satisfaction, and moved his fingers  He grabbed the blackhead and shook it away as if he was the murderer of his father. Then he wiped his hands vigorously with a white handkerchief. When he raised his head and looked at Xu Mingzhu, there were already several red fingers on his fair and handsome face.  mark.  Looking at herself in the mirror again, Li Su felt sad for a moment, and her expression showed a bit of sadness and resentment.  "The affairs of the king and the world are over, and he has gained fame both before and after his death. Unfortunately, it happened in vain" Li Su murmured and sighed.  Xu Mingzhu blinked her pretty eyes and said: "My husband is indeed a talented man of the Tang Dynasty. He can recite good poems casually. I don't read much, but I also know that what my husband just recited must be a good poem. But why did my husband suddenly become pregnant?"  "Xiao Ranzhi?" Li Su sighed sadly: "Because I found that I have become ugly" "My husband is as handsome as before, how can I say that I have become ugly" Xu Mingzhu lowered her head and smiled shyly.  She smiled and said softly: "In my eyes, my husband has always been so handsome." Li Su nodded and said seriously: "Your words are very sincere. I feel it deeply. Sometimes I feel a little envious.  You kowtowed so many times in front of the Buddha in your last life that you married such a handsome man like me in this life" As he spoke, Li Su suddenly reached out to her forehead, rubbed it gently, and said with full affection:  "Ever since you were born, Madam, have you ever felt that your head often hurts?" Xu Mingzhu rolled her eyes. With her husband's shameless look now, she really felt like she had a headache Li Su glanced at it inadvertently.  Looking in the mirror, my mood suddenly became very low again.  "I can't live with this face! Back then, my face was like a freshly peeled egg, juicy, white and tender. Every time I looked in the mirror at that time, I couldn't help but want to kiss the mirror to express my admiration. But now,  I found that I was no longer fair and clear in the mirror. Not only was my face much rougher than before, but I also had blackheads! " Li Su said with a look of resentment and said angrily: "It's all because of the wars in the north and south these years.  Yes! That¡¯s why I am so opposed to the war. This is simply a devastation to my peerless appearance! If I don¡¯t go, no matter who I fight against in the Tang Dynasty, I will not go to resist the imperial decree. My head can be cut off, but my face cannot be ugly!  "Xu Mingzhu covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably: "My husband is talking nonsense again. There are people who have resisted the imperial decree from ancient times to the present, but there are very few people who resist the imperial decree for the sake of their own face. I dare not say this in front of outsiders. It is said that  If it comes to His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid I'll have to ask about my husband's crime again" Li Su snorted, glanced at the bronze mirror, then focused his eyes, found a new target on his face, and bared his teeth at the bronze mirror again  Squeeze blackheads.  Xu Mingzhu held the bronze mirror and watched Li Su compete with his own face. She said softly: "Husband, my family's income has been much higher recently. Yesterday, the schedule family sent last year's spirits and silver cakes. Our family  The warehouse is almost full" Li Su was startled, and his movement of squeezing the blackheads slowed down. If there was only one thing in the world that could make him temporarily forget his appearance, it would be money.  "The warehouse is almost full? Good thing! Let's exchange all the copper coins for silver cakes, and then hire some craftsmen to dismantle and modify the west wing of our backyard. It will be connected to the warehouse. It can be regarded as an expansion of the warehouse, madam.  , Our family is not worried about not being able to store money, but the worry is that there is no money. After so many years, we finally realized the beautiful wish of counting money until my hands cramp. Tonight we will move some silver cakes into the bedroom and use the silver cakes to make a bed.  The feeling of waking up on a pile of money every day is so beautiful!" Li Su said excitedly.  Xu Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him: "My husband won't feel uncomfortable if he sleeps on the silver cake, but I won't sleep" "If I don't sleep, I will fall down. I will hold my daughter to sleep, so that my daughter will grow up on the pile of money.  It must be the destiny of being rich and powerful, well, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, I¡¯ll do it later!¡±She rolled her eyes at him and said: "It is enough for our family to have a husband who loves money as much as his life, but don't let your daughter learn from her husband's temperament and find it difficult to find a husband in the future." Li Su chuckled and said, "As for us,  With my family¡¯s status, is it not easy for my daughter to find her husband¡¯s family? If she falls in love with a handsome man from a certain family in the future, she only needs to tell me that I will kidnap her to marry her at my father¡¯s command. If she dares not to obey,  , break his legs!¡± Xu Mingzhu said with a smile: ¡°It¡¯s rare to see the domineering side of my husband. Think about it, when my daughter gets married, my husband¡¯s status will probably be higher than it is now, right?¡±  Thinking of something, he bent down and whispered in Li Su's ear: "Husband, I heard from Uncle Xue that the city of Chang'an is not peaceful now. I heard that your Majesty has not been well since he returned from the Eastern Expedition. Chang'an  Rumors are spreading in the market, saying that your Majesty, I'm afraid will not be long. Is this true? " Li Su looked serious and turned to look at her: "Don't say this nonsense. Madam, go back and set up a ceremony for the servants at home.  There is a strict order that no one in the house is allowed to talk about the palace, and those who violate it will be severely punished." Seeing Li Su's sudden serious look, Xu Mingzhu was startled, staring at his face for a moment, Xu Mingzhu said in surprise: "Isn't this a rumor?  Is it true? Your Majesty is really" Li Su was silent for a while and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty's body is indeed in critical condition." Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and said: " His Majesty has not yet appointed the Prince of the East Palace, if there is anything wrong with him.  Changes, then" Li Su looked a little sad and sighed: "I estimate that the decree of canonizing the prince will be promulgated in the next few days. Not only that, there will be big changes in the court recently, and a large number of people will  Will be purged by His Majesty, the Chang'an court is about to be in trouble." "Is the candidate for the crown prince stillHis Royal Highness Jin?" Li Su nodded: "As expected, it should be him, and he should be the crown prince.  It won't be long, maybe it won't be long before he ascends the throne." Xu Mingzhu opened her eyes in shock and was silent for a long time. Then she suddenly said: "My husband and His Highness Prince Jin have always had a close relationship, and Prince Jin can become the prince.  It all depends on your husband's support. If the King of Jin ascends the throne, and your husband serves as a hero of Conglong, your official title" Li Su smiled bitterly and said: "Of course there will be favors. After returning from the Eastern Expedition this time, His Majesty did not give any reward.  The purpose is to leave Tian's grace to the next emperor. If the Jin Dynasty becomes emperor, my official position and title will be higher than now" Xu Mingzhu said in surprise: "My husband is now a county official. If I can be promoted to one level,  Isn't the titlea county prince? My husband is only in his twenties this year" Li Su didn't look happy at all, but said worriedly: "It's not a good thing to have a title too high. If possible, I would rather stay in this county.  You can go one or two levels lower, sir. If your title is too high, it will inevitably attract the wind. Countless pairs of eyes will watch you openly and covertly, and your every move will be infinitely magnified. It looks like flowers and brocade, and you are extremely wealthy, but in fact, you are in danger, and everything is prosperous.  The worry of extreme decline is what I fear the most. Therefore, the more prosperous we are, the more we must stick to our duties and not be shocked by honor or disgrace, otherwise our family will not be prosperous for long.  "Xu Mingzhu stared at him deeply for a long time and said softly: "I don't read much and don't have much knowledge, but I know that as the head of the family, my husband shoulders the important responsibility of the prosperity and decline of the family.  When you say such calm and humble words, our Li family will not weaken within three generations.  "  Late at night, Li Su held his daughter in his arms and walked around the backyard with her petite body, humming an unknown song from his previous life. His daughter fell asleep in his arms. Li Su  Looking at her delicate little face, a loving smile appeared on her lips. She carried her daughter back to the room and gently placed her in the cradle. Then she straightened up and rubbed her sore waist.  I was about to go to bed when I heard a fierce barking sound in the distance. As if it was contagious, all the dogs in the village were immediately startled. The barking sounds kept coming. Not long after, there was a knock on the door at the archway in the backyard, and the sound was a little urgent.  A maid dressed in clothes came out and opened the door. Butler Xue stood outside the arch and called loudly: "Is Master sleeping?"  Li Su stood in the middle of the yard and said, "I'm not sleeping, Uncle Xue, what's the noise outside?"  Butler Xue said happily: "Master, the eldest son of the Wang family is back!"  " Li Su was startled, then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Wang Zhuang is back?  " "Yes, I just entered the village with a dozen personal guards, but I was so majestic that I didn't even return home after entering the village. I came to our house first and was sitting in the front hall.  " Li Su was overjoyed: "Quick, tell the kitchen to prepare food and wine, I'll be here right away!  "While talking, Li Su put on his clothes and hurried out of the backyard with wooden clogs on his feet, and walked quickly towards the front hall. The front hall was brightly lit, and Li DaoSitting in the front hall, he patted Wang Zhuang on the shoulder with a smile. Fang Laowu stood aside with a smile on his face. Even Zheng Xiaolou, who usually had a coffin face, showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.  Li Su hurriedly walked into the front hall. Wang Zhuang turned around and grinned at Li Su, with tears in his smile.  At this time, Wang Zhuang was fully clothed and wore a black iron-winged helmet on his head. His face, which was not very handsome, was darker than before, but his figure seemed to be much stronger than before.  Standing in the front hall, he had a fierce and brave aura for no reason.  The two looked at each other quietly for a long time, and Li Su's eyes turned red.  Taking two steps forward, Li Su punched Wang Zhuang hard on the chest. Wang Zhuang grinned, but his figure remained motionless.  Li Su shook her hands in pain, and the two looked at each other, then laughed and hugged each other hard.  "What should I do? You are uglier than before. Will your mother-in-law still want you when you get home?" Li Su laughed.  Wang Zhuang wiped his tears, laughed a few times, and then showed a fierce look: "How dare she! Things are different now. I am not afraid of her anymore. With my current skills, I can pick three or five people like her like me."  Get something out of your bag!" Li Su sighed with a smile: "I just like your inexplicable mysterious confidence. Well, I'll wait and see what happens to you tomorrow."
