"Thank you for your hard work, Sanniang." Li blurted out.
Li Xiuning handed one to Li Po and said nonchalantly: "My mansion seems to have become a country of daughters. Alas, I wanted to have a son so that I could have someone to rely on when I get old, but instead I got a pair of daughters.
…”
At this point, he rolled his eyes and continued: "Do you think I would be a little greedy if I wanted to have another son?"
Li Po's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that you were not greedy, but that you were causing trouble for others and yourself.
"It's destiny to have children, so how can we leave it up to us? These two little things were lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family, and have a mother who knows people well. It's not like their father, who was born alone.
You have to treat them better and don't let them think that you just want a son, otherwise they won't miss you when they grow up."
Li Xiuning's slender eyes narrowed. The expressions made by the old Li family members showed that they were a little unhappy and had evil intentions.
Hum hum, I want to give birth to a son...
Li Po was a little absent-minded, searching for those vague fragments in his memory.
The story of Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao later spread widely, but there are not many records about them.
There is no need to mention Chai Shao, that is not his focus.
Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang did not have many deeds, which may have been covered up by later generations. For Li Po, it was a bit difficult for him to trace the clues.
He only remembered the story of Princess Pingyang's escape from danger in Chang'an and the founding of the Detachment of Women. This was mentioned many times in unofficial history. Official history...well, Li Po had never read official history.
I have only heard people say that Princess Pingyang was the only female hero who was buried with military honors after her death. This should be because she was Li Yuan's daughter and she had military merit.
Later, there was a Niangzi Pass, and Li Podao also knew that it should have been built by later generations. The Niangzi Pass where Princess Pingyang was stationed should be in Shanxi rather than in Hebei. It was probably the Guancheng in Yunnei.
He didn't really care about any of this. The main thing he thought about was whether Li Xiuning had any descendants. After much searching, he admitted that his knowledge was shallow and he had never seriously studied history. He really didn't know much about these things.
It's best not to have any... Of course, this is not to save unnecessary trouble, but if there is a record of Li Xiuning having an heir, he will feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, people who are familiar with history know that Princess Pingyang disappeared from the records after Li Yuan captured Cheng'an. It was not until Wude died in the sixth year that she suddenly appeared in the annals of history again.
At that time, Princess Pingyang was still very young, enough to be called an early death.
And what happened at that point in time? The brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were competing for the position, and it entered a fierce stage.
Just imagine, if Li Xiuning sided with Prince Li Jiancheng, would Li Shimin hide it from outsiders when compiling history?
Wouldn't it be more reasonable if her death were more mysterious?
……………………
Well, these are all boring speculations. With Li Po disrupting the situation, Li Xiuning is living well now. The wheel of history has shifted. Some people who should have been alive have died, while those who should have died are still alive.
.
That little butterfly had already turned into a hurricane, and the entire Central Plains and even foreign countries were changing, not to mention the fate of a single person.
………………
Li Xiuning never dreamed that her life would appear in the mind of the man in front of her in this way. Now she just feels that her daughter is not as good as her son.
It was also the women in the house who often said this and that in her ears, which made her feel that there should be someone in her house who could support the family, which made her lose her obsession.
But since she was born into an aristocratic family, she has seen a lot of things between men and women, and her father and brother are both like that, so she understands the appropriateness better.
When they first met Yun Nei, because of their status, he was the one who coaxed her. As long as she showed some kindness in return, they would become clinging to each other. Even if he later sent people to Chang'an to protect her, he would not be able to escape this kind of situation.
category.
When we met again later, he had become a prince on the same side, and everyone was on an equal footing, even with some hidden hostility.
When the overall situation was decided and the situation was completely reversed, she had to be the one to accompany Smiley Face. For the two of them, there was finally an ending.
Thinking about the story of the two people's relationship for many years, the wonderful stories can be compiled into a storybook. I don't know what people will say about them later. Now the words about them have been spread among the outside world. When they are a hundred years from now, people will probably know more about them.
No scruples.
It's just that they are still young now, and the story has to continue...
………………
One child couldn't bear the disturbance and began to groan, but the other one was still sleeping soundly, without any of the magical feeling of the twins.
The thoughtful parents discussed the child's features. The father thought in his heart that the child should not be as ordinary as him, while the mother was just the opposite. She wanted the child to be more like his father, which would undoubtedly lead to his father's failure.
of more love.
After a while, Li Xiuning called a maid and sent the children to a wet nurse for feeding. The twins were still in the stage of eating, sleeping, and eating, so it was not that fun.
When the child was taken away, Li Po said: "There are more and more people in your house. Take some of the farms outside the city and pick some from your hometown in Longxi. I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to return them to you."
.
Then, in Luoyang, if you are interested, I can seal some land and you can find some trustworthy people to take care of it."
Li Xiuning laughed. She cried once a while ago, and it seemed that he remembered it in her heart.
It sounds like she doesn't really care about these things.
After Li Yuan's defeat, most of the land owned by Li's relatives was confiscated. Even if Li Po did not kill anyone, the property of Li Yuan and his son must be liquidated. In addition, many of Li's relatives were named princes by Li Yuan, and their titles were dispersed.
are everywhere.
After careful consideration, Li Po did not carry out large-scale reduction of titles, but Li's relatives were deprived of all their titles. At this point, it is basically what the title means.
No one dared to say anything, whether it was the Li family or their relatives and friends, because Li Po still left a lot of room for them and did not do anything too extreme.
If someone dares to make irresponsible remarks like this, they are all stupid people and can be killed without any problem.
Among them, Li Xiuning is naturally a special case. As long as Li Po does not say anything about the property in her name, no one will dare to touch it. It can be regarded as abiding by the promise he made in Jiangjun. As long as Li Po conquers the world, under his
Under the rule, Li Xiuning will definitely have a place.
As Li Yuan's daughter, her financial situation was pretty good. Li Yuan didn't do anything else except that he came and moved his private treasury to his daughter's house.
But it is actually enough to support the people in her house. As long as she does not support the army, it will be easy to have enough food and clothing for decades.
There is also the fact that these women in Li Xiuning's mansion actually have something in their names, and the families behind them, whether it is out of friendship or face, have to provide something to pay for their care in Li Xiuning's mansion.
It is almost the same as the protection fee, and all the secret money was transferred to the name of Mrs. Chu's house. It is both a favor and a benefit. So really speaking, the big family in the house has no worries about food and drink, and is living a good life.
What Li Po is giving now is actually the confiscated family property of the Li family. Otherwise, there would be no such word as sending it back. In fact, the symbolic meaning of it is more important to Li Xiuning.
It means that she can go out and show her face, and recruit some people to manage the land and manor for her, which will undoubtedly increase her status in the Li family of Longxi.
Of course, this can also be seen as a reward from the emperor for giving birth to a pair of daughters.
"Thank you, brother. Even if the two of them don't get the title of princess, they will be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."
Li Po smiled and ignored the trembling cleverness in her words, "They were born rich and have no worries about food and clothing. What does it mean? I am not often in front of them. You have to teach them well and don't let them think that they deserve everything.
Yes, it is best to practice literature and martial arts to become a useful person in the future.
If you raise him well, he won't be much worse than a boy."
When Li Xiuning dressed up as a teacher, she looked a little like a husband and a wife, but in fact, she was mumbling in her heart, no matter how nice you say it, I will have a son...
Then she changed the topic, "Forget about the fields over there in Luoyang. It's too far away and I heard there aren't many people there anymore. Alas, I went to Luoyang to live temporarily for two years when I was young..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped and wanted to slap himself. Why did he mention this matter when he said it so well? It was at that time that the Li family and the Luoyang Chai family got married, and the second brother also fell in love with the Changsun family's daughter.
.
In fact, it is all to blame Yang Guang for moving the capital, not staying in Chang'an, but insisting on living in Luoyang permanently, so the powerful Guanxi nobles like the Li family of Longxi couldn't help but get connected with the Luoyang aristocratic family.
Looking back now, it's really a piece of cake.
Li Po is a smart person, and he already knew it after hearing his words. He glanced at Li Xiuning, and the other party immediately smiled, saying that women who have children are much gentler, but they lack a lot of heart. It seems that later on
The saying that one pregnancy lasts three years is really not unreasonable.
He just followed her words without realizing it: "Before Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Luoyang had more than 100,000 households, which was slightly more than Chang'an. When Qiuhe surrendered to the city last year, in addition to those stationed in the city,
With so many soldiers, there are only more than 20,000 old and weak people left in Luoyang City, which is almost like an empty city.
But after all, it is the heart of the Central Plains, and it can still recover in the future. Don't imitate those short-sighted people who want them to move back, but always push back and forth. Hum, wait until the governance there is better, then they will want to go back...
Is there anything that cheap?"
Luoyang suffered a disaster, and Li Po was actually responsible for it. The two cruelest winters in Luoyang were the key moments for him to compete with Li Yuan...
