Strictly speaking, even he himself doesn't know what Li Su wants to do.

Secretly helping Wu's family was just a move he laid in the chaotic situation. He didn't even know whether this move would work, because Wu's family was too different. She was not a woman willing to be a chess piece. After several years, even he didn't know whether he could control the move he laid.

After all, this woman is Wu.

For five thousand years, there was only such a queen who openly proclaimed her emperor. Li Su had to rely on her and be wary of her. She was a double-edged sword that could hurt others and herself.

Li Su felt uneasy about Wu, and on the other hand, Wu was even more uneasy about Li Su.

Why does a woman who has fallen into the palace and has no hope in her life? Why does the Tang County Hou value her so much? What capital and bargaining chips can make a county Hou Qing, a saint-sponsored son, have a strong eye?

Wu smiled at everyone, but only she knew that her heart was cold and desolate, like a desert without any grass.

My father died early in childhood, and my brothers could not tolerate them, so they finally drove them away from home. The world that Wu had experienced since childhood. After being selected into the Tai Chi Palace, the intrigues and intrigues inside became even worse. From childhood to adulthood, a person who grew up in an environment of constant struggle and conspiracy, would be a bit nonsense if her heart was still filled with sunshine and positive energy.

Wu is only in his early twenties, but she has experienced too much coldness in her life. Her mentality is already very dark. She is deeply alert to everyone, especially those who give her kindness for no reason, and she is more cautious.

It was guessed that the person behind Dongyang was Li Suhou, and Wu's first reaction was not actually gratitude, but weighing.

Guessing the other party’s purpose, and also weighing his own bargaining chips. As the saying goes, “A politeness must be something for others.” What Wu wants to know most is that he has something to be worthy of the help of the county marquis who is in full swing. What he wants? For a moment, Wu even guessed that he was coveting his beauty. After all, now she has the only bargaining chip. Then Wu shook her head and denied the answer, and smiled bitterly.

The dignified county marquis, all the powerful people in the dynasty are coming and going, and they are singing and dancing. They are surrounded by flowers. What kind of beauty does the world want? What shape does the head become clamped by the door to make a fancy to a woman who has fallen into the palace to do hard work?

After thinking about it, Wu still couldn't figure out the motives of Li Sushi's envy, so he tossed and turned and suffered from insomnia every night.

***************************************************************

After Li Shimin left, Li Su slept soundly and ate well, and she basically didn't move around when she ate or slept, so she once again became lazy and got out of a new realm of life.

The revenge of assassinating my father was avenged. The emperor killed the murderer behind the scenes at the gate of the East Palace, which not only shocked the crown prince Li Chengqian, but also openly provoked the East Palace as a county marquis. Li Chengqian also fell into great trouble because of the matter.

This is enough. Li Su took revenge to this point, and the timing and means were just right. Of course, the premise was that his father was not seriously injured, otherwise he would never die.

The heavy snow in Guanzhong lasted for three days and three nights. On the fourth day, the snow finally stopped.

The courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow. Early in the morning, Butler Xue directed his servants to clean it up, and it took two hours to clean the front yard. My father Li Daozheng went out early in the morning and said that it was auspicious snow that indicates a good harvest. He had to go to the fields to see the soil after the snow. Whether the harvest will be good in the next year will be good. It depends on whether the snow this year can freeze the locust pits in the fields to death, and give a good weather and good weather in the next year.

Now Li Dao is not able to do whatever he wants when he goes out. After being assassinated last time, Fang Laowu was very guilty. He apologized to Li Su guiltily, saying that he had killed someone for half his life, but Old Master was careless and almost caused the master to fall into a desperate situation. He was so ashamed that he said that the Marquis had raised a group of people who had been idle and had no shame to survive. He was too devoted. If Li Su didn't stop him, he would probably draw his sword and commit suicide on the spot to thank the world. Before committing suicide, he would pull the hundred veterans together to commit suicide.

It's pretty good. Li Su likes responsible people. Although the circle of powerful people was a bit messy during the Zhenguan period, the folk customs were still very simple. In a place like Taiping Village, which is almost like a paradise, it is rare to die for the main family. At least when it is time to stand up to protect the main family, it will not leave the main family and run away.

Li Su was very glad that he invited the hundred-time soldier into his farm, especially Fang Laowu. His performance particularly touched Li Su. Fang Laowu is still recovering from his injuries, but Li Su had already thought of asking him to worship him for the Li family.

The so-called "entrusting" does not mean that Fang Laowu is offered as his ancestral tablet. Li Su is not so humble. "entrusting" is a title of the powerful and noble families in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a lifelong or even hereditary system. The world is vast and there are many talented people. Because the government is clear and the people live and work in peace, the heroes of the martial arts world have no intention of opposing the court or killing officials to rebel. "Learning civil and military skills, goods and imperial families" is the mainstream idea of ​​talented people, so many people who think they have the ability have joined the powerful and noble families in order to live in a place. If they are valued by the master, they can even show their ambitions.

Therefore, there was an additional title called "Prayer" in the powerful and wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty. It was different from the so-called "Pastor". The quality of the Pastors was different. There were indeed many people who had idle meals, but the Pastor was a real master. Many meanings could be seen from the word "Prayer".

First of all, "respect". Regardless of origin, those with ability will naturally be respected by the powerful, and secondly, "rare". After all, the Tang Dynasty is now sparsely populated, and even fewer people with ability. It is not easy to just meet someone who can do something blindly and be invited to worship. That must be true. "Care" does not necessarily refer to means of killing people or powerful martial arts. As long as you get the will of the master, any ability may be highly regarded, such as medical skills, such as Huang Lao's art. If the master is a foodie, you can cook good dishes and be invited to worship. Of course, alchemy is also considered. If you let the master's family evolve into a feather and ascend, you will not be rewarded to death.

Also, the so-called "entrance" is usually offered, and it will not take action easily. Once the master encounters a major incident, he will ask the envoy to come forward.

Fang Lao was fifty years old and had been in military service for most of his life. He had practiced his ability to kill people, but when he reached his age, his various physical functions had begun to decline slowly. In a few years, he might have declined even more. However, Li Su didn't mind. What he valued was Fang Laowu's loyalty. This was the biggest reason for asking him to worship him, and it also contained some gratitude.

At the beginning, Xu Mingzhu held a guard in front of Yumen Pass. Only Fang Laowu tried his best to protect him. Later, when his father in Taiping Village was in danger, he was still desperately resisting the enemy. He did not let his father suffer a slight harm. Li Su didn't mind holding him up and becoming a special existence of the Li family. In the future, if Fang Laowu married his wife and had descendants, Li Su would not mind raising him for generations. Just for these two kindnesses, Li Su would repay him a hundred times.

…………

The courtyard was cleaned up, and the snow in the yard was shoveled clean. Butler Xue ordered people to sprinkle a layer of wood ash on it, and then sweep it over again. People will not slip when walking on it.

Fang Laowu was supported by Butler Xue. The two old men walked tremblingly to the garden on the west side of the front yard. Looking at the blood-red wintersweets blooming in the snow in the garden. There were only a few plum blossoms, but they seemed to see the grand occasion of the blooming flowers in the garden. The two old men pointed and smiled with groans on their faces.

Xu Mingzhu quietly walked behind Li Su and put a fox fur cloak on him.

"The snow has just stopped, and it's so cold that it's evil. Husband wears more clothes, don't get cold."

Li Su yawned, nodded lazily, and then calculated his days: "... Life is so confused, it's almost New Year's Day?"

Xu Mingzhu smiled and said, "You can live a confused life, but it shows that your life is very good. My husband is a lucky person. In three days, it will be New Year's Day. Tomorrow, Butler Xue said that he would go to the city to buy New Year's goods and have a good New Year's Day. When the Chinese New Year is released, my husband is afraid that he will start to respond again."

Li Su murmured: "New Year's Day is coming soon... Everyone is celebrating New Year's Day in Chang'an City, right?"

Xu Mingzhu was confused by Li Su's words: "What are you saying? Whether it is the powerful or the people, of course, it is time to celebrate New Year's Day. I heard that all the three provinces have officially issued a document, and it happened to take advantage of the heavy snow to block the road. The court officials simply took a break and then deal with the government affairs after the Spring Festival."

Li Su thoughtful and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there are still people who can't celebrate New Year's Day..."

"Who is your husband talking about?"

"An old friend."

******************************************************************

An old friend is not a beautiful woman, and an old friend is not on the water side, but in Dali Temple.

The next day, Li Su followed Butler Xue who had entered the city to buy and entered Chang'an City. After entering the city, Butler Xue led his servants to Dongshi, while Li Su took a dozen veterans and his carriages swaying towards Dali Temple.

The gate of Dali Temple is neglected, this... is very logical. If one day the gate of Dali Temple is crowded with people, or the water is queuing up to call the number, it is like the ticket hall of the train station during the Spring Festival travel rush, it means that the Tang Dynasty's rituals and music have been ruined and the world is full of bad people.

Two rows of soldiers stood lazily at the door, holding the cold long halberd in the cold weather, trembling with coldness, and occasionally sniffing hot air into their hands and stomping their feet a few times.

As soon as Li Su's carriage stopped, it attracted the curious attention of the soldiers of the palace. The New Year was about to be celebrated, and in this kind of ghost weather, someone actually ran to Dali Temple for nothing. Isn't this asking for trouble?

The carriage stopped and Li Su got off the car. When the soldiers saw his appearance, they immediately showed the sudden realization of meeting the creditor in a foreign land. This man was too familiar with him, so he was very familiar...

Li Su looked up at the solemn and depressing black plaque in Dali Temple, sniffed into his hands, and smiled.

Soon, a chief officer ran out of the gate. Li Su didn't remember what the man's surname was, but he remembered that he should be an acquaintance.

The in charge was a middle-aged man wearing a green official robe. He was obviously a small official. When he saw Li Su, he was stunned and then bowed forward with a bitter face.

"Meet Mr. Li."

Li Su laughed: "No gifts and gifts. For the New Year, don't worship them randomly. Once you bow, I can't help but want to give you a red envelope. When you come back to your senses, the red envelope has been sent out. Do you think I'll take it back, or will you continue to hand it forward? So, let's not make such a false gift, which will hurt money and feelings."

The head of the matter was stagnant and didn't know how to answer the conversation. He had to automatically skip this bastard and go straight to the point: "New Year's Day is coming, and the ministers of the three provinces have been resting. I don't know that the Marquis came to Dali Temple today for..."

"Oh, that's it. Look, New Year's Day is coming soon. There are constant guests in my house every day. Not only do I get the wine and food from my house, but also the bathhouse from my house. I can't stand it. So, I wanted to find a place to hide in peace. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly slapped my thigh, guess what's wrong?"

The head of the company continued, "What's wrong... what's wrong?"

Li Su patted her thigh again, and her face was filled with wisdom: "Dali Temple! I plan to stay in the Dali Temple cell for a few days. Whoever has the ability to come here to visit me, I really admire him. Do you think my idea is amazing? Everyone is acquaintances. Are you happy to see me? Are you surprised?"

The head of the court looked green and looked at him stupidly: "…………”

"Is my cell still there? The old rules are that I will ask someone to sweep it three times first, prepare a clean mattress and hot food. Hurry up, I'll smoke you if I'm slowing down!"
