Couple’s Night Talk

On the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, the thirty-year lunar month, on New Year's Eve.

This is the third New Year that Liu Yi spent in the Tang Dynasty. After having a reunion dinner with her family, amid the sound of firecrackers, Liu Yi quietly climbed up to the roof alone, pillowed with his arms, raised his legs, and lay flat on the slope of the roof. His eyes quietly looked at the sky above his head, just like the winter night when he first came.

It has been three years since he first came, and his food and clothing were worrying, and now he has a wealth of wealth and wealth that is comparable to a country. He also married a wife and gave birth to a son. Liu Yi felt a little moved. He, an outsider, has completely taken root in this era and left traces.

Is it trustworthy for a modern man to travel thousands of years to ancient times, and he also gave birth to children here, and he had a hand in hand with celebrities of this era, or had a lot of fun?

If it were before time travel, as a very firm atheist, Liu Yiu would definitely sneer at this, thinking that these are just plots that some people only appear in books or dreams, and are not trustworthy.

But what now? From the 21st century to the personal experience of shrinking back a thousand years ago, Liu Yi no longer had any doubts, talked to Li Shimin, drank with Qin Shubao, accepted Luo Binwang as his apprentice, accepted Xue Rengui as his servant, etc., the experiences over the years have been novel, surprise, stimulating, and touching. In addition, there are also the faint bitterness and sorrow that always lingers in my heart but cannot be removed.

In the past three years, the content of life is rich and colorful, a hundred times more exciting than the previous life. I thought these experiences were enough to dilute the memories of my previous life, and I thought that the things I had in my previous life had long forgotten, and I didn’t expect that every New Year’s Eve, those people and things would still come out from the deepest part of my mind again.

This is how people are, nostalgic, and always like to recall past events that have been past and cannot be repeated.

People today do not see the moon in ancient times, but the moon once shines on the ancients. People today are like flowing water, and they all see the bright moon.

Today is thirty years old, and there is no moon at night, but Liu Yi still couldn't help but think of this poem about the moon. He felt in his heart that the stars in the sky remained unchanged, and this has been the case throughout the ages. I wonder if the relatives and friends in later generations are like themselves, looking up at the same star shining in the sky?

A burst of tiny steps and the sound of climbing the ladder to the room, knowing that someone should be looking for him, Liu Yi ignored it and still looked at the stars floating in the air. At this time, he didn't want to move any longer.

"I can't find anyone in the yard, I know my husband must have come here again." A head was revealed on the eaves of the house. Seeing Liu Yi lying on the roof, Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but smile on her face, and said softly in a gentle voice, and her body climbed up little by little.

"Be careful." Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Yi turned his head gently, looked at the little woman in front of him who was moving towards him step by step, and said warmly: "If you have something to do, just come here, just come here. Why do you have to come up in person?"

As he said that, Liu Yi stretched out his hand to hold his wife's little hand, guiding her to sit beside him, looking at Chu Chu's beautiful face, and her eyes were filled with tenderness. In this world, except for Liu He, only the little woman in front of him is closest to her heart.

"On New Year's Eve, Brother Liu Cheng is also going to reunite with his family. How can I bother them again?" He sat down with his husband's knees, spread the cotton coat he was holding in his arms, and gently covered Liu Yi's body. Zhang Chuchu also leaned over under the cotton coat, hid in his husband's arms, and whispered: "Also, I want to stay alone with my husband for a while."

"Yeah." After a warm heart, Liu Yi tightly put his wife's petite body in his arms, looked up at the stars in the sky, and whispered to himself: "I've been busy with this time, and I have little time to have fun with you mother and son, because I'm negligent."

"I don't mean to blame my husband." The gentle little hand covered Liu Yi's mouth, and Zhang Chuchu said softly: "Now the business in the mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and the fields involved are getting wider and wider. You need your husband to worry about everything. Seeing that your husband is so busy and hardworking every day, I feel sorry for you."

"Haha," Liu Yi smiled, raised his hand to caress Chu Chu's hair, and said in a gentle voice: "It's all business in the mall, and you can handle it for your husband. As long as the wife doesn't bother you with a stinky smell for her husband, she will be content with her husband."

"Husband, don't say this." Turning over, Zhang Chuchu lay in Liu Yi's arms, facing his husband seriously and said: "Husband is indifferent by nature, and is definitely not comparable to that of greedy and businessmen. Although his husband's difficulties and intentions have never been clearly explained to me and parents-in-law, I can feel them."

"Since the assassination of the mansion last year, my husband has put all his thoughts on the shopping malls, restaurants, tea, cotton coats and quilts, and the northwest ranch," Zhang Chuchu continued, "Although I don't know who my husband is guarding against in this way, I understand in my body and mind that my husband is increasing his bargaining chips as much as possible and protecting his family in the mansion to the best of his ability."

Zhang Chuchu saw all these actions that were obviously contrary to his husband's nature. Although Liu Yi never said it clearly, Zhang Chuchu felt that his husband was guarding and accumulating strength.

Zhang Chuchu didn't know who the husband was guarding for. She could only roughly guess that person must be very powerful, and it was very likely that he was the real culprit of the Liu family who wanted to assassinate them the Liu family two years ago.

"My wife is smart, I know she can't hide it from you." Liu Yi smiled and shaved lightly on Chuchu's little Qiong's nose, and then said firmly: "But your husband will deal with the things outside. Even if the sky falls, your husband can still push it back. My wife doesn't have to worry, just take care of Baoer and her parents at home."

"Yeah." Zhang Chuchu nodded obediently, knowing that his husband doesn't want to talk in detail, and that tonight is New Year's Eve, and it is not the time to talk about these things.

"Dad and the others have already rested?" Without wanting to recount the previous topic, Liu Yiuan looked down at the courtyard that seemed a little quiet, and asked his wife softly.

"My father, parents-in-law, godmother and others are all yelling to watch the night together," Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but smile and said softly: "When I came just now, they all gathered in a room, according to my husband's previous preaching, and took the red envelopes, saying that they wanted to use it for tomorrow's reward."

"It's rare that they still have this interest, so let them go." Liu Yi nodded gently with a smile, and asked again: "Does the father and the others ask about Brother Chu Wen and two of them?"

"Of course I won't forget it," Zhang Chuchu felt a little unhappy when she said this, and said softly: "Brother and second uncle are the same. They don't know how to go back to reunite with their family on New Year's Eve, which makes their parents worry about them all the time."

"As soon as you enter the official career, you can't help it," Liu Yi sighed and said, "This is also the reason why your husband has never wanted to enter the official career. If you have a destiny, the subordinate must follow it. If you are destined to do so, you will not care about your marriage or funeral, how can you care about it or the New Year?"

Although Liu Yiu has never been an official, he has a very clear view of the things in the officialdom. Especially those cadres at the grassroots level have always implemented the work policy of "opening their mouths above and running their legs below". Many times, not to mention New Year's Eve, even if you have a knife in the sky, you have to do it with your teeth.

"That's right, but even the emperor and the officials in the court still have a few days to stop during the New Year," Zhang Chuchu said with some concern: "Brother and second uncle are not in important positions. Now, the court has nothing to do except for the disaster relief a while ago. On New Year's Eve, what else is more important than reunion with their families?"

"Well, my wife is right." Liu Yiuan pointed her head lightly. After his wife mentioned it, he could taste some of the mystery.

Neither Zhang Chuwen nor Liu Ertiao are the kind of heartless and careless people. For example, it is a big day for family reunion like New Year's Eve. Even if they cannot return in time if they have something to do, they will come over in advance and say hello. It will never be like now, and there will be no news.

As Chuchu said just now, on New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, besides the snow disaster that has passed nearly half a month, what else will cause them to not come back to reunite with their families?

Could it be? Thinking of some possibility, Liu Yi suddenly sat up and frowned. Could it be that Li Ji's 100,000 troops were about to go to war? Apart from this reason, Liu Yi really couldn't think of any reason that would make Zhang Chuwen and Liu Erzhao, two not-so-large Beijing officials, cannot even spend New Year's Eve with their family?

Moreover, when marching and fighting, the most important thing is to "attack him unpredictable and unexpectedly". Li Shimin chose to go to the battle on New Year's Eve, which was indeed unexpected. Even though the journey to Gaochang was long, it would take a long distance to attack. However, if confidentiality measures were sufficient, in this era when communication was not developed, Li Ji and his team did have a great chance to have a surprise attack.

When everyone thought that Li Shimin would send troops after the spring plowing, Li Shimin chose the most unlikely time on New Year's Eve. After confirming what he was thinking, Liu Yi couldn't help but exclaim silently in his heart: Unexpectedly, the expedition and surprise attack is undeniable. In terms of marching and fighting, Li Shimin, a famous king who established his country through military affairs, is indeed very good at it.

"What's wrong, husband?" Seeing that the husband suddenly sat up, Zhang Chuchu also stood up and asked in surprise.
