The atmosphere is a bit weird... Of course, this weird atmosphere can only be felt by those who know the inside story.
Mrs. Zhu had calmed down and sat there as stiffly as a log, seemingly not responding at all to the outside world.
At the same time, the rest of the people seemed to be having a lively conversation, especially Li Shan... he was talking and laughing freely, which attracted Princess Nanyang's frequent glances. At such an age, someone who can be so pretentious is really a character.
Pei Shuying said with a smile: "Li Langjun's fourteen poems and essays have been copied into a volume, and I often recite them. The first one is a work handed down from generation to generation. How could such a poetic talent be given by God?"
The smile on Li Shan's face became even brighter, "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it..."
"I really envy Lady Zhu for having such a son-in-law." Pei Shuying sighed: "I will have to ask Lady Zhu for advice in the future."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, a smile finally appeared on Zhu's face, but after listening to the second half... well, the expression on Zhu's face at the end looked like she was smiling and crying.
Li Shan glanced at Princess Nanyang who was the first in the ranking... After one glance, she felt something was wrong, and after another glance, she was actually holding back her laughter!
Yes, Li Shan actually wants to laugh. Pei Shuying wants to learn from Zhu how to teach children...
Noticing that Li Shan had a strange expression, Princess Nanyang coughed twice and changed the subject, "Ms. Pei knows that Huairen has learned a lot and is capable of more than just poetry."
Pei Shuying nodded repeatedly, "The abacus was made by Li Langjun, and he also has medical skills... I'm afraid I will have to invite Li Langjun to visit me someday."
Princess Nanyang finally couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "The Duke of Wenxi County is also in his seventies."
Let Li Shan go and treat Pei Shiju... I'm afraid he will try his best to stuff Pei Shiju into the gate of hell. If he can't be stuffed in, he will be kicked in.
"It was really dangerous to survive this time..." Princess Pingyang had heard from her husband that many aristocratic families came to visit these days... Li Shan was very worried about this.
Li Shan agreed casually, but in his mind he was thinking about his interactions with Yu Wenshi and Princess Nanyang.
Yu Wenshiji's kindness to himself mainly stems from his own psychological factors. To a large extent, his anger towards Li Dewu and his kindness towards Li Shan stem from his regret for his choice back then.
Princess Nanyang's temperament seemed gentle, but she was actually sharp. She threatened her with death. Yu Wenshiji did not dare to visit her, and even her letters were returned. But last year, when Li Shan was trapped in Shandong, he wrote a letter mentioning Li Shan, but it was not returned.
.
From then on, Li Shan was mentioned in every letter written by Yu Wenshi and Li Shan. Well, the image of a young man that was slightly exaggerated by Yu Wenshi and Li Shan appeared in the mind of Princess Nanyang, plus the Zhu family who was also abandoned by his wife and son.
, causing Princess Nanyang to have an inexplicable concern for Li Shan.
Occasionally when she wakes up from a dream, she can't help but wonder, if the Zen master still exists, will he have such grace when he grows up?
Between Pei Shuying, a close friend in her boudoir, and Zhu, whom she had only known for two years, Princess Nanyang naturally preferred Zhu who was also abandoned by her husband.
She really wanted to see what kind of expression would be on the face of Mrs. Pei, who had been alone in the boudoir for more than ten years, when the truth was revealed.
"Being granted the title of County Duke?" Pei Shuying's voice was slightly sharp and her expression was quite shocked, "It's because of Princess Pingyang..."
Although County Duke was not considered a top title in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, you must know that the young man in front of you was only eighteen years old... Pei Shiju was granted the title of Duke of Wenxi County in the previous dynasty, and the title of Duke of Anyi County in this dynasty. In other words, he was the Duke of Anyi County.
Li Shan is the equal.
Princess Pingyang shook her head and said: "The title is an important weapon of the country and cannot be awarded for private matters."
Chai Shao on the side smiled and added: "These are the words of Huairen's face to the saint, so I refuse to be conferred."
Li Shan glanced sideways and said, "So, my title of county magistrate is not worthy of the title?"
Chai Shao laughed and said: "Persuading the Turks to return, holding on to Guantao, planning a great victory, capturing and killing Liu Heita... How can the name be inconsistent with the reality?"
Princess Nanyang chuckled and said: "For such meritorious service, he was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County... If Huairen had not yet served as an official at that time and was too young, I would have been too young for a county Duke."
Pei Shuying rarely left home, disliked political affairs, and had little knowledge of external affairs. She couldn't help but stare blankly at this young man standing with his hands hanging... Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a man of both civil and military talents.
Originally, it was a pity that this young man Lang Yushu Linfeng was a little dark, but now that he looks at it, he is almost shining!
Zhu made a habitual modesty and said something to the effect... My son can't even ride a horse, and he doesn't know how to lead an army.
Princess Pingyang had already asked Li Daoxuan about the battle in Shandong in detail, and shook her head and said: "Huairen seems not good at rushing into battle, and it is difficult to lead the troops personally, but he is very thoughtful and sets fire to the ship twice, which made Liu Heitai's tens of thousands of troops lose their morale twice.
Scattered."
"Liu Heitao resurrected twice and swept through Hebei. He became famous for a while and was finally defeated by Huairen." Chai Shao nodded and said: "Although Tian Liu'an and Qi Shanxing have contributed, it would not have happened without Huairen's planning.
"
"Marquis Zhuge Wu was also unable to go into battle in person, but he was still highly praised by the past dynasties." Princess Pingyang looked at Li Shan, "After hard work, Huairen will be famous for future generations not only for his poetry."
Li Shan smiled bitterly and said: "It's too much..."
"Outside Liting County, there are interceptions in front and pursuers behind, and we are in a desperate situation." Chai Shao said loudly: "Huairen can make decisive decisions at the moment and attack the enemy at night. He has his own generals."
Li Shan's cheeks bulged, and he forced himself to endure it without saying anything... Anyway, he was praising me in private, as long as he didn't do it in public.
Princess Nanyang looked at this scene with a smile, thinking that Pingyang and his wife were very cooperative today, and they praised Huairen to the sky without even having to say anything.
Yes, after all, I received great kindness from Huairen.
After Pei Shuying knew the truth... Princess Nanyang was thinking this, Pei Shuying suddenly laughed and said: "Langjun Li has not been crowned yet, I wonder if he can teach my elder brother some skills in the future?"
Princess Nanyang and Li Shan looked at each other and tried not to laugh... She actually wanted her son to become Li Shan's teacher!
At least, at least... the seniority is wrong!
"Well, it's too early to talk about this matter now. Your eldest son is only one year old." Princess Nanyang bit her lower lip with her teeth. "In the future, I will like literature, and Huairen will teach me poetry. I will like martial arts, and Huairen will teach me martial arts."
…”
"Ahem!" Li Shan coughed loudly, "It's getting late..."
We have to leave. If we don’t leave... the expression on Mrs. Zhu’s face will be unbearable!
After sending Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao away in a hurry, Zhu kicked a bamboo basket in front of her away as soon as she entered the house. A burst of Lingnan slang spewed out... Without even thinking about it, she must be cursing someone.
Li Shan sent his mother to the backyard and persuaded with a smile: "Where does mother's anger come from?"
Mrs. Zhu looked at her son intently for a while and then said: "She is quite kind to you!"
"I don't know the truth. It's natural for a child to be both civilized and martial." Li Shan said with a smile: "If you have the desire to cling, even if there is no Hedong Pei family, there are Hedong Liu family and Hedong Xue family in Hedong alone. There are many great families in the world...
"
"Why do you hate Mrs. Pei so much? Shouldn't what mother hate be..."
For Li Shan, this is a simple logical judgment. Li Dewu wants to regain his family name and glory. If there is a chance, he will abandon everything for this...dignity and backbone, these are not needed, let alone his wife?
wife?
When can't you marry again? When can't you remarry?
But after thinking for a while, Zhu said slowly: "If Mrs. Pei treats you kindly..."
Li Shan was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing... He had forgotten that his predecessor was trying every possible means to recognize his mother again!
But that really has nothing to do with me... Mom, your focus is a bit skewed!
