The spring breeze is gentle, the grass is growing, the bells are flying, and a kingfisher falls on the branches of the Li family's vestibule, making a crisp and pleasant chirping.

Suddenly, a small stone shot towards the bird like lightning under the tree. The bird was frightened and quickly flapped its wings and flew away. In the air, it was still chirping around the ginkgo tree a few times, probably cursing.

Li Su put the slingshot in her hand back on the short table and murmured: "It's so noisy that it affects my father's mood to squeeze his blackhead..."

Under the ginkgo tree, two small feathers that were shocked by the slingshot floated down slowly. Li Su seemed to have not seen it. Xu Mingzhu stood in front of him, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, his cherry lips tightly pursing his cherry lips and laughing, while Li Su was facing the mirror, grinning and squeezing his black head. His expression was very serious, as if he was doing something major about the family, country and the world. His hideous face showed that his mood was not as warm and gentle as the sunshine at this moment.

His index fingers were concentrated at a point on his face, and at the same time he exerted force to attack that point. Under the influence of force, a blackhead was squeezed out by him unwillingly. Li Su let out a sigh of satisfaction, grabbed the blackhead with his fingers, and threw it away as if he was killing his father's enemy. Then he wiped his hands hard with a white square scarf. When he raised his head and looked at Xu Mingzhu, there were already several red finger marks on his fair and handsome face.

Looking at himself in the mirror again, Li Su was sad for a moment, and his expression showed a little bit of sorrow and resentment.

"Put down the affairs of the king and win the reputation of his life and death, but it's a pity..." Li Su murmured.

Xu Mingzhu blinked pretty and said, "You are worthy of being a talented man in the Tang Dynasty. You can recite a good poem casually. I don't read much, but I also know that you must be a good poem just now, but why did you suddenly feel the silence of a silence?"

Li Su sighed sadly: "Because I found myself ugly..."

"You are as handsome as you used to, how can you say that you are 'being ugly'? I..." Xu Mingzhu lowered her head and smiled shyly, and said softly: "You are always so handsome in my eyes."

Li Su nodded and said seriously: "Your words are very sincere. I deeply feel them. Sometimes I envy you a little. I kowtowed many times in front of the Buddha in my previous life, so I was able to marry such a handsome man like me in this life..."

As he said that, Li Su suddenly reached out to her forehead, rubbed it gently, and said with pity: "Since the beginning of birth, does the lady feel that her head often hurts a little?"

Xu Mingzhu rolled her eyes. Her husband looked shameless now, and she really felt a headache...

Li Su looked at the glass inadvertently and her mood suddenly became very depressed again.

"This face can't be taken! My face was like a newly peeled egg, watery and tender. Every time I looked in the mirror, I couldn't help but want to kiss the mirror to express my admiration. But now, I find that I am no longer watery and smart. Not only is my face much rougher than back then, but I also have blackheads!"

As he said that, Li Su showed anger and said angrily: "It was all caused by the wars in the south and north over the years! That's why I opposed the war so much. This is simply a destruction of my peerless appearance! If I don't go, no matter who the Tang Dynasty beat me, I won't go, and I won't go against the orders. My head can be broken and my face cannot be ugly!"

Xu Mingzhu covered her mouth and smiled uncontrollably: "My husband is talking nonsense again. There are not many people who have resisted the imperial edict from ancient times to the present, but there are only ones who have resisted the imperial edict for his own face. I dare not say this in front of outsiders. If you reach Your Majesty's ears, you may be asking your husband for his crime again..."

Li Su hummed in disappointment, glanced at the bronze mirror, then his eyes condensed, and found a new target on his face, and grinned at the bronze mirror again to squeeze his black head.

Xu Mingzhu held the bronze mirror and looked at Li Su competing with his own face, while whispering: "Husband, my family's investment has been much higher recently. Yesterday, Cheng's family sent last year's spirits, diluted silver cakes, and our warehouse can't even fit..."

Li Su was stunned and his blackhead squeezing movement slowed down. If he said the only thing in the world that could make him forget his appearance for the time being, there would be only money.

"The warehouse is almost unable to hold it? Good thing! Let's change all the copper coins into silver cakes, and then invite some craftsmen to demolish and modify the west wing in our backyard and connect it to the warehouse. It is considered to be an expansion of the warehouse. Madam, our family doesn't have to worry about not being able to hold it, but it's because they have no money. After so many years, we finally realized the good wish of counting the money and cramping it with hands. Tonight we will move some silver cakes to the bedroom and use silver cakes to make a bed. The feeling of waking up on the pile of money every day is very beautiful!" Li Su said excitedly.

Xu Mingzhu gave him a blank look: "You don't feel uncomfortable sleeping on the silver cake, I won't sleep..."

"If I don't sleep, I will sleep with my daughter in my arms. Let my daughter grow up with money since I was a child. In the future, I will be rich and powerful. Well, the more I think about it, the more reasonable it makes. I will do it later!"

Xu Mingzhu gave him a blank look and said, "It's enough to have a husband who loves money and lives in our family. Don't hurt your daughter to learn from her husband's character. It's hard to find a husband's family in the future."

Li Su laughed and said, "With our status, it is not easy for a daughter to find a husband's family? If she falls in love with a handsome husband in the future, she just needs to say a word to me. My grandfather gave the order and tied him to marry his daughter. If he dares not follow, break his legs!"

Xu Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's rare to see your husband's domineering side. Think about it, if his daughter got married as an adult, his husband's status would probably be higher than today, right?"

As he said that, Xu Mingzhu seemed to remember something, bent down and leaned against Li Su's ear and whispered: "Husband, I heard from Uncle Xue that the city of Chang'an is not calm now. I heard that since the Eastern Expedition, his body has not improved. Rumors have spread all over the city of Chang'an, saying that Your Majesty is afraid, I am afraid... I will soon, is this true?"

Li Su looked solemn and turned her head to look at her: "Don't say this nonsense. The lady turned around and issued a strict order to the servants in the family. No one in the mansion is allowed to discuss the palace, and those who violate it will be punished severely."

Seeing Li Su's sudden serious look, Xu Mingzhu was startled and stared at his face for a moment. Xu Mingzhu said in surprise: "Is this a rumor, it's true? Your Majesty is true..."

Li Su was silent for a while and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty's body is indeed... dangerous."

Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and said, "...Your Majesty has not yet been crowned the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. If Your Majesty really has an indescribable change, then..."

Li Su looked a little sad and sighed: "I guess the will of the crown prince will be issued in the next few days. Not only that, the court will undergo major changes recently, and a large number of people will be cleansed by His Majesty. The Chang'an Dynasty is about to come."

"Is the candidate for the prince still... His Highness the King of Jin?"

Li Su nodded: "If it weren't surprising, it should be him. Moreover, he will not be the crown prince for too long. Maybe he will ascend the throne in a short time."

Xu Mingzhu opened her eyes wide in shock, and was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "My husband and His Highness King Jin have always had a deep friendship. Moreover, the King of Jin can become the crown prince, all depends on his husband's support. If King Jin ascends the throne, your official position and title are yours..."

Li Su smiled bitterly and said, "Of course there will be favors. When you return from the Eastern Expedition, Your Majesty did not give any reward. The purpose is to leave the favor to the next emperor. If King Jin is the emperor, my official position and title will be higher than now..."

Xu Mingzhu said in surprise: "My husband is now a county duke. If he is promoted to a higher level, wouldn't he be... a county duke? His husband is only in his twenties this year..."

Li Su looked at him without any joy, but instead said worriedly: "It is not a good thing to have a high title. If possible, I would rather be this county magistrate, one or two levels lower than the title. If the title is too high, it is inevitable that the tree will attract the wind and be stared at by countless pairs of eyes openly and secretly. Every move will be infinitely magnified by people. It seems that flowers are in bloom and rich, but in fact it is dangerous and has the worries of prosperity and decline. This is what I fear the most. Therefore, the more glorious it is, the more we must keep our duties and not be alarmed by honor and disgrace, otherwise our family will not be prosperous for long."

Xu Mingzhu looked at him deeply, and after a long time, he whispered: "I don't read much or have much knowledge, but I know that as the head of the family, my husband shoulders the important task of the rise and fall of the family. He can say such calm and humble words at the most glorious time. Our Li family will not be weak within three generations."

…………

Late at night, Li Su hugged her daughter and walked around in the backyard with her petite body, humming a little song from her previous life in her mouth. Her daughter fell asleep in his arms. Li Su looked at her delicate little face, and a smile of pity appeared on the corner of her mouth.

He hugged his daughter and returned to the room, gently placed her in the cradle, then he stood up and beat his sore waist.

Just as I was about to go to bed, a fierce barking of dogs came from afar, as if it had been infected. All the dogs in the village were alarmed, and the barking of dogs came one after another.

Not long after, a sound of slapping the door from the arch of the backyard came from the sound of a little rapid. A maid put on her clothes and opened the door. Butler Xue stood outside the arch and called out loudly: "Have you sleepy?"

Li Su stood in the middle of the yard and said, "I haven't slept, Uncle Xue, why are there noise outside?"

Butler Xue said happily: "Master, the eldest son of the Wang family is back!"

Li Su was stunned, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Is Wang Bao back?"

"Yes, I just entered the village and brought more than a dozen personal guards, but I was so majestic. After entering the village, I didn't even go back to my house. I went to our house first and sat in the front hall."

Li Su was overjoyed: "Hurry, tell the kitchen to prepare wine and food, I'll come soon!"

While speaking, Li Su put on her clothes, hurried out of the backyard with wooden clogs, and walked quickly towards the front hall.

The front hall was brightly lit, Li Dao was sitting in the front hall and patting Wang Zong on the shoulder with a smile. Fang Laowu stood beside him and smiled. Even Zheng Xiaolou, who often had a coffin face, had a smile on his lips at this moment.

Li Su hurried into the front hall, Wang Zong turned around, grinned at Li Su, with tears in his smile.

At this time, Wang Zong was covered in a full body and a black iron-winged helmet on his head. His face, which was not very handsome, was darker than before, but his figure seemed to be much taller than before. Standing in the front hall, he had a sense of courage and courage on his body for no reason.

The two looked at each other quietly for a long time, and Li Su's eyes also turned red.

Taking two steps forward, Li Su punched Wang Bao's chest hard. Wang Bao grinned, but his figure did not move at all.

Li Su shook his hands in pain. The two looked at each other, and then laughed and hugged them hard.

"What should I do? You are uglier than before. Will your wife still want you when she gets home?" Li Su laughed.

Wang Bao wiped his tears, laughed a few times, and then showed a fierce look: "She dares! Now it is different. Now I am not afraid of her. With my current skills, I will pick three or five aunties like her like melons!"
