Chapter 146: Returning home for the first time
, my relatives had a busy day and only slept for an hour when they came back at night. The group went out in the dark in the early morning to buy many items at the market that were not available or reserved during the day.
After another day of shopping, I still haven’t bought everything, especially some sundries, which need to be collected slowly.
Going back to the house at night, Li Qingxian used the continuous fortune-taking technique to deduce who was investigating him. There was no specific result, but he saw the familiar starry sky.
I had seen it on four of Ye Han's men.
The general situation of the royal family.
"It's basically Tang Enxuan." Li Qingxian said.
"It seems that he has decided to take action against you. Next, how do you protect your shares and the Qiankun Bracelet?" Han Anbo asked.
Li Qingxian smiled and did not answer.
As the sun rose in the east, Li Qingxian first went to the Prison Department to inquire about the progress of the disinfectant alcohol. He stayed busy until the afternoon, changed into a light white brocade robe embroidered with gray tree branches, hired a carriage, and headed to the outer city.
Zhou Hen followed from a distance.
The divine capital is divided into three parts: the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city. The outermost city wall surrounds the divine capital.
The inner city and the outer city are divided into four major areas: east, west, north and south.
Houses in the four districts of the inner city are not allowed to be bought or sold by persons without good grades.
The outer area is the civilian area of Shendu.
The Grand Canal divides the Inner North District and the Outer North District.
After crossing the bridge, there is the North Twelve Lanes in the outer area. Xuanxiufang faces the inner city across the Grand Canal. It is the most prosperous among the North Twelve Lanes. Most wealthy families and wealthy families with little money live here. .
The carriage entered Xuanxiufang, and under Li Qingxian's guidance, it arrived at Xuanqing Street and stopped in front of a door.
Li Qingxian got off the carriage, paid the fare, and looked up at the gate.
The door is tightly closed, the red paint is peeling off, the wooden door is slightly cracked, the door knocker is rusty, there are moss marks in the cracks of the steps, and a pair of jiaotu and drum stones stand quietly under the door.
There is no plaque or lantern on the door, only a mottled "李" character engraved on a black wooden board on the side of the door.
The door is old, but the front is clean and free of dust and weeds.
Some memories came to mind, and Li Qingxian sighed.
This is Li Zhai.
Li Qingxian looked at the yard next door on the left. The stone wall of the yard was low, there was no drum stone in front of the door, the brown door was old, and the door knocker was not rusty.
That was my aunt and uncle's house.
Li Qingxian walked over and stretched out his hand to push, chaotic memories came to his mind, and the images of his aunt, uncle, cousin and cousin floated before his eyes.
Li Qingxian took a deep breath, recalled the past, opened the door casually, and said lazily: "Aunt, uncle, I'm back."
Opposite the door is a screen wall with a picture of spring flowers, and around the screen wall is a small courtyard.
In the wooden shed on the west side of the yard, chickens and ducks are walking around, and there are many scraps of wood in the corner next to it.
At the door of the wing on the east side of the yard, four people looked over.
A middle-aged woman wearing brown linen clothes, with a blue cloth on her head, and slightly dark skin, her eyes lit up when she saw Li Qingxian, she wiped her hands with an apron and walked around the rice basin at her feet, and said with a smile: "Is Qingxian back? Sit down quickly, my uncle is going to make bamboo rice today, which was your favorite when you were a kid."
Li Qingxian looked at his uncle, a man with a sallow face, wearing a blue coarse cloth, with a thin body, showing a simple and honest smile, and put away his bamboo chopping tools. Hatao, just as he was about to speak, saw a little child rushing over.
The little boy looked seven or eight years old, with a round face, rosy cheeks, and dirty body. He had just reached Li Qingxian's waist height. He rubbed his nose with his right sleeve, wiped away a piece of snot and brought out a new piece. He was clever and clever. He glanced straight at Li Qingxian's hands and behind him, shouting: "Brother Qingxian, I miss you so much!" "Yuanpeng, don't torment me." A girl wearing a white-washed blue and white patterned skirt grabbed her He grabbed the little girl's back collar and looked at Li Qingxian with a smile.
The girl is eighteen years old, with a graceful figure, elegant clothes, delicate appearance, and indescribable tenderness in her curved eyebrows.
"Aunt, uncle, Sister Xiang."
Li Qingxian looked at his aunt Zhang Fang, uncle Chen Zhu and sister Chen Xiang with a smile.
"Where's me? Where's me!" Little cousin Chen Yuanpeng was unhappy. He sniffed sharply and sniffed, and his nose retracted.
"I'll get you a towel!" Chen Xiang turned around and strode towards the room, her shiny black braids swaying with her waist behind her.
"Brother, I heard that you entered the tenth rank? Is it true?" Chen Yuanpeng rushed over, hugged Li Qingxian's legs, and wiped his nose with his robe.
Li Qingxian held his back collar and said disgustedly: "Hurry up and wash your face, I brought you something delicious. Huh? There is a bruise on your forehead. Where did you knock it?" Chen Yuanpeng curled his lips and glanced at Li Qingxian
. Qing Xing's empty hands said: "I don't know you yet? When have you ever come to my house to bring something? When have you come to my house to bring something and eat it... Oops..." Zhang Fang twisted her son's ears and said, "
Quickly Go and wash your face and hands."
Chen Yuanpeng gave a look that meant we could talk later and washed his hands obediently.
Li Qingxian walked towards Chen Zhu who was sitting at the stone table and said with a smile: "Uncle, I haven't eaten your bamboo tube rice for a long time." "I happened to encounter
bamboo from the south yesterday, so I bought one back. By the way, you came home. This is the right purchase. You sit down while I saw the bamboo."
Li Qingxian said: "Today I will make some bamboo tube sauce pilaf, and add some salted egg yolk and chestnut, it is delicious!" "
Okay, my dear, you go buy some salt Duck eggs..." Chen Zhu said with a smile, sawing the bamboo.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fang was washing his son's face as if he were kneading dough, while muttering in a low voice: "Salted duck eggs are so expensive..." After a moment of pause,
Zhang Fang squeezed out a smile and said loudly: "It's rare to come back for leisure, I'll go right away. Buy salted duck eggs..."
Zhang Fang's voice stopped suddenly and she looked at Li Qingxian with her mouth wide open.
When Chen Yuanpeng saw his mother stop, he felt happy that he didn't have to wash his face anymore. He looked at his mother and was dumbfounded.
Chen Zhu stopped repairing the bamboo, and Chen Xiang, who walked to the door with a towel, widened his eyes and held on to the door frame.
The four of them saw that Li Qingxian had nothing in his hands, but like a magician, he first took out oil paper and spread it on the stone table, and then conjured one thing after another out of thin air.
Three pieces of shiny pork belly, a plucked white chicken, a dozen white-skinned salted duck eggs, four burnt black pig's trotters, a foot-long grass carp with scales and disembowelled... chestnuts, longan , plums...
a table full of them was laid out.
The four of them had never seen this scene before. They stared and were speechless for a long time.
Chen Zhu was the first to react and asked in surprise: "You actually have a lucky treasure?"
Li Qingxian smiled and said: "I have been lucky recently and got a treasure."
"Brother, have you done something big?" Chen Yuanpeng's eyes sparkled.
Zhang Fang pressed her son's head down, and while washing and rubbing it quickly, he said worriedly: "Ye Wei is doing hard work. I would rather you be the same as before, and be free all your life. Your mother and your father." We all hope that you will be safe and sound. The Li family ca
n't stand the trouble anymore..." Chen Zhu glanced at his wife hurriedly. Zhang Fang pretended not to notice and said something else. Chen Xiang walked a few steps quickly, dipped a towel in water, and said loudly: "Little brother, wash your face first."
Chen Xiang came over and handed over the towel. Li Qingxian took the towel with his right hand, but handed out a large light red wooden box two feet long and half a foot high with his left hand.
"Sister, take it, it's for you." Li Qingxian said and put it in front of Chen Xiang's bulging chest.
