"My brother and sister-in-law are busy with important matters all day long, and they can't even say a few words. In addition, due to their status, everyone is respectful, and no one dares to interact with me. Brother, you just saw it. That Wang Renjing is a minister, I
Before I even said anything, I was already reluctant to leave..."
"Apart from the King's Master and the palace, where else can I go for entertainment? After this, I feel depressed and even my cooking skills are rusty... Hum, eldest brother also just wants to marry me off as soon as possible so that he can have a good time.
If you don’t see it, it’s pure, woo woo…”
As he spoke, Li Chun looked like he was about to cry and wiped his eyes vigorously, but just like before, it was really difficult to wipe away some tears.
Li Po wanted to laugh, but held it back, sighing secretly in his heart. This girl had indeed grown up and started trying to hide it from him, but she deserved encouragement.
Their family is now extraordinary, and they are a little less minded, so they may suffer a big loss in the future.
After thinking about it, I felt that I should find something to do to relax myself occasionally, so I pushed the chopsticks and stood up. Li Chun was shocked and jumped up, as agile as a female leopard, without any sadness.
It can be said.
Li said, "Follow me."
Li Chun carefully looked at his face, lowered his head and followed behind, still muttering, "Brother... where are we going? We only took two bites of these many drinks and dishes. It's a pity... If it doesn't fit
As for the taste, I’ll cook it separately, so you don’t have to go hungry, right?”
The nagging made Li Po very upset. Thinking about it, he had really neglected to discipline her in the past two years. If she continued like this, she might become a chatterbox.
The brother and sister left the study one after the other, followed immediately by some tailgaters.
In the Hanwang Mansion at night, the lights were dimly lit, and the aroma of wine and food drifted in the evening breeze, making both brother and sister feel a little uncomfortable. People who have been hungry will naturally be more sensitive to this.
While walking in the workshop, Li Po suddenly asked, "Wang Lu reported some time ago that according to the old rules of Mayi, women will be recruited as slaves to patrol the market. What do you think?"
Li Chun immediately rolled his eyes and grinned, "I knew I couldn't hide it from my brother... It's not appropriate for women to go into battle to kill the enemy, but today, men are dying and running away, and the remaining ones have joined the army. Many women
Life is not easy, so it is better to recruit some and give them a way to survive."
Even though what Li Chun said was brief and fragmentary, it actually spoke about a major problem in today's world. The population has dropped sharply, people's livelihood has been in decline, and a large number of men have died in wars and conscription, creating a society with more boys and girls.
structure.
This phenomenon is particularly obvious in the Shan area where it has settled down in the early days.
Of course, Li Po would not think that this sister was pitying anyone. Just as Li Chun knew his temperament very well, he also knew Li Chun's thoughts clearly.
This girl is looking for something to do, and she has inherited his "advantages" very well. You have to pick the softest persimmons, and Wang Lu is as timid as a mouse, so it is perfect.
In fact, this is quite normal. As Li Chun gets older, he will never say that he wants to stay in the house and accompany his brother all his life like he did when he was a boy. As the saying goes, a child cannot help his mother when he is older.
The only thing that makes Li Po a little dissatisfied is that this girl is too purposeful in doing things. She has a little cleverness, but lacks great wisdom, so once she leaves his wing, it will be difficult for people to feel at ease.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh to myself. After being a father and a mother for more than ten years, it seems that I have to continue to be a father...
Well, there is a bit of love from overseas. In fact, I can only say that I enjoy it. The road to the world is full of thorns, and he has to make many difficult decisions alone. In comparison, these trivial matters at home are like jokes.
It became a rare remedy.
Just like fighting with his wife, playing "Truth or Dare" with Red Eyes, all these things always make him smile and feel happy.
"You say it's not bad, but have you ever thought about it? After all, Jinyang is different from the border town of Mayi. This place has been a major thoroughfare since ancient times. People's thoughts are not as straightforward as those of Mayi."
"Moreover, when the Turks were born, Khan led more than 100,000 people to surround Mayi. The whole city rose up to resist the enemy and united as one, so that the Turks returned without success. It goes without saying that it is admirable and respectable. After the war, there were many orphans and widows left.
, I ordered Wang Lu to recruit women to govern Mayi, which was actually a move that followed the trend."
"The families of those women died in the service. Everyone in Mayi felt their kindness and pity for them. They patrolled the streets. Everyone must respect them and dare not be disrespectful. But in Jinyang..."
Having said this, Li Po smiled slightly, "Even if women here have a hard life, they don't want to be in the public eye. Wouldn't it be easy to marry a man? Why go out on the street and have people point at you? If you take the lead, even if you are the princess...
…I may become a laughing stock soon, but you still can’t do this?”
Vision is something that requires experience to support. If it had been left to the past, even Li Po himself would have done most of his ideas first.
But now, just by listening to some things, you can understand the difficulty and then make a targeted decision. This is obviously the growth brought about by dealing with complicated government affairs.
Li Chun then calmed down, and Li Po smiled and didn't press any questions. It wasn't until they were far away that Li Chun said, "It's natural to do it, so why can't it be done? Humph, do women have to marry to be happy?"
These words sounded a bit harsh, and Li Po couldn't help but turn his head and look, only to see a pair of eyes shining in the dark. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, damn, there won't be a feminist in the family in the future, right?
To say that there is really suitable soil for them to survive these days, needless to say the famous Queen Dugu before. Now there is Ashina Yang Huan in the north, sitting on the throne of the Turkic Khan. It is said that Yang Guang was at that time
, there are also a few female doctors walking in the palace.
Thinking of this, Li Po couldn't help but feel a little worried. It was a good thing for his family to be strong, but if they were too strong, they might get their heads broken and bleed. It would be difficult for everything to go smoothly.
Li Chun didn't know about his brother's twisted heart, and he was still talking, "Only the queen lives in the palace, and she needs female attendants to protect her... And the palace, well, the various mansions and mansions in Jinyang also need female guards to organize them.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have some female troops stationed there? Time has passed and it’s not too late to talk about other things.”
After hearing what she said, Li Po finally nodded and agreed. In fact, no matter how much he thought about it, this was still a small matter, and there was no need to take it too seriously.
In the final analysis, Li Bi saw it more clearly. His brother's arrogance and pampering towards his sister was unparalleled by anyone.
The brother and sister, who had been bickering for a while, finally started chatting and joking casually. Ash Tianxiang also came over halfway, saying that they had met by chance. After a while, they pulled Li Chun a few steps behind, while looking at the generous and majestic man in front of them.
From behind, he complained that Li Chun didn't take her with him when he went out to play.
These two women in the palace are the most lively, and they can always get together to "do evil". In fact, most of the reputation of the women in the Han Dynasty palace is earned by these two.
It’s just that it’s different from what it was more than two years ago. Ashina Xianggui is the Turkic Jialan princess, but her marriage has been delayed until now and has not been finalized. And this kind of marriage story involving the overall situation of the north and the south is increasingly disturbing people.
she.
In fact, she is almost the same as Li Chun. As she gets older, the times when she is careless will become less and less.
"Where are we going? Look... the kitchen is in front of us, right?"
As they murmured, Ashi Tianxiang finally couldn't help but say something.
Li Chun pursed his lips, chuckled and said, "I made some food before, but my eldest brother may have thought it didn't suit his taste, so he wanted to cook it himself. Hehe, we are in for a treat."
A look of surprise appeared on Astian's fragrant and delicate face. She actually learned from Li Chun that the King of Han had extraordinary cooking skills, but regardless of whether it was north or south, it was a great loss of status for nobles to cook.
Looking at the cheerful Li Chun beside him, Ashi Tianxiang felt for the first time that this person seemed a little heartless...
Unfortunately, the destination was mentioned by Astian Xiang. His Royal Highness the King of Han went into the spacious back kitchen and drove away all the idlers. The miserable Turkic Princess was suddenly reduced to a helper in the kitchen, clumsily collecting firewood and adding fuel to the fire.
Being blamed and ordered by the two brothers and sisters was just like going to see the doorkeeper in the first place. The pain in it is really hard to describe.
"Working is the same as cooking. The most important thing is to focus and never give up halfway. Otherwise, no matter how good the ingredients are, you will waste them. Every time you fail, you will be frustrated... How can you still succeed in the long run?
"
There is everything you need in the kitchen. Although Li Po has not cooked in person for a long time, Li Po picked it up without thinking and moved it as smoothly as water. This is much easier than letting him handle political and military affairs.
At the same time, he can still nag and tell some truths to teach his sister a lesson.
At the same time, he twitched his nose a few times and glanced at Ashi's incense with disdain. It was because he thought her fragrance affected his sense of smell and made it difficult to control the heat.
It is estimated that Ashi Tianxiang never dreamed that this gift from God and the innate fragrance on her body would one day be rejected by men for such a reason.
Time passed, and the most distinguished people in Jin were busy in the kitchen. As the aroma gradually increased, Li Chun no longer cared about what his elder brother was saying. He just stared at the stove and swallowed saliva as he did before.
I don't know how much time passed, Li Po opened the lid of the pot fiercely, and when the steam rose, the aroma suddenly became abundant. He tasted the soup with a wooden spoon. Li Po nodded with satisfaction, and his skills were not unfamiliar.
A big pot of stewed beef, with thick juicy meat and rotten meat, is very appetizing. Damn it, if you weren't the King of Han who was so busy, wouldn't it be wonderful to be a cook?
Of course, such boring thoughts can only be imagined. Now that you let him work in the kitchen all day long, it must be just a dream.
The only regret is that due to seasonal constraints, there are no green vegetables to accompany it, otherwise it would be more delicious.
