Chapter 89
Of course, a donkey that runs faster than a horse must.
When he first left, Liu Laoshi couldn't believe his eyes. Is this still a donkey? It ran like a gust of wind, and he arrived at the place in the blink of an eye. This really corresponds to Liu's words: Donkeys should not behave like appearance. Old Liu underestimated this donkey before.
Liu Yi grabbed the forage and put it into the trash in front of Liu Wuhen, and touched its head in a doting manner, which was an additional reward for its trip. Liu Wuhen also responded enthusiastically, sticking out his big tongue to add it to Liu Yi's hand.
"This is a hundred-mile donkey," Liu Yi said to Lao Liu: "But traveling more than a hundred miles a day is a little faster than an ordinary horse, and it can be regarded as a 'thousand-mile horse' in the donkey."
"In fact, it is not much inferior to the real Qianli Malay."
If you don’t run, you’ll be shocking. Those who only focus on appearance will never appreciate its benefits.
Liu Laoshi didn't say anything, but just looked at the donkey, then looked at Liu Yipeng, then put his hands on his back and went straight into the room.
How similar is the donkey to their eldest son? It is both ordinary and good at surprises. If I hadn't been riding and contacted by myself, who would have believed that a thin donkey and a poor farmer would have such great ability?
Compared to them, Lao Liu, the father-in-law, alas!
Lao Liu remembered the two times he bought cows again, and felt extremely cowardly. The excitement he had when walking the donkey just now disappeared without a trace.
Liu Yiu put down his work and went to the kitchen to bring out the food left for Lao Liu at noon. He put it on the table in front of Lao Liu and said, "Dad, this is the food left for you by my mother. It's still hot. You can eat a little first. I'll buy some wine and food later. When Er Yiuo comes back from the private school in the evening, we three will have a good drink."
If you think about it carefully, you have been busy working all the time, and the three of them have never been together. Although they are all fathers and sons and brothers, if they don’t communicate for a long time, there will inevitably be some estrangement in their hearts. This is not what Liu Yiu is willing to see.
"Yes," Lao Liu nodded. At this time, he really wanted to have a few drinks.
Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace, and the Lizheng Hall.
Empress Changsun leaned on the bed and waved her hand to retreat to all the waiters in the hall. For a moment, only she and Changsun Wuji were left in the entire hall.
"Brother, now there are only two brothers and sisters, so there is no need to follow any customs. Please sit down." Empress Changsun straightened her body and said to Changsun Wuji who was still bent over there.
"Thank you for your seat." Changsun Wuji respectfully bowed to Empress Changsun, then sat down on a round stool covered with yellow silk behind him. Then he bowed his hands and said respectfully: "I wonder if the Empress summons the empress to come, but what instructions do you have?"
Alas! Empress Changsun sighed softly when she saw that Changsun Wuji was still so reserved. Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, her elder brother has become accustomed to her. She follows the rules and obeys etiquette and avoids suspicion, for fear of causing some gossip. Their interactions have become less and less.
"It's nothing, but the little sister is a little depressed these days and misses her elder brother a little, so she wants to ask her elder brother to have a conversation." Queen Changsun sideways, looked at Changsun Wuji's already white beard, and said, "Brother, you have looked a lot older in the past few years."
Changsun Wuji looked down at the long beard on his jaw and sighed: "Yes, time is like a knife, I refuse to forgive others. I am all fifty years old. I just don't know how many years can my old bone live?"
Empress Changsun said: "Brother is only forty-six years this year, and she is in her prime, so she is not old. I think this is because I have worked too much for the affairs of the government. But although this affairs of the government are important, I cannot ignore my health?"
"Empress Lao is worried about it, and I know it. However, the entire Tang Dynasty is in a period of time to be promoted. There are so many business matters and heavy work. As a minister, it is the responsibility of the minister to share the worries of the emperor. As for this body, what's the harm if it is destroyed?" Changsun Wuji said very excitedly, but in front of his own sister, it seems that he doesn't need to show his loyalty so much, right?
"Brother said this seriously. Brother is a pillar of the country. The Tang Dynasty needs you, and the Emperor also needs you. Your health is strong, which is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty and the Emperor. So you should pay more attention to your body." After saying that, Empress Changsun changed her tone and asked softly: "Chong'er, Huan'er and his brothers and sisters are all safe, right? I haven't seen each other for a while, and I really miss them a little. Brother Chang'er asked them to come here to sit here tomorrow. No matter how much I say I am their dear aunt, so I should walk around more."
Changsun Wuji replied: "Although those boys are not very good at learning, they are still obedient. If the queen misses them, I will let them come over to pay your respects tomorrow."
"Well, my brother doesn't have to blame them too much. They are all children. As long as they are taught carefully, they will definitely become a pillar of my Tang Dynasty in the future." Empress Changsun said casually: "It's like your nephew Chengqian. Although he likes to make trouble, he will sometimes be a little willful when doing things. However, if a strict teacher like my eldest brother urges and teaches him, he will definitely become a wise ruler of my Tang Dynasty in the future."
"What the Empress said is that His Highness has been smart since childhood. Now he has the careful teaching of great wise men like Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda. He will not disappoint the emperor and the Empress in the future." Changsun Wuji lowered his head to answer and gave Empress Changsun a Tai Chi punch.
"I'm grateful for my words, Brother Changsun." Empress Changsun had no expression of disappointment at all, or she had not received much hope at all. She still said to Changsun Wuji in a light tone: "I'm afraid my little sister won't see that day."
"Empress, don't talk nonsense!" Changsun Wuji suddenly raised his head and said clangingly: "Empress, the Queen, is lucky and the whole world, and the eldest son will live a hundred years old. Don't say that the prince ascended the throne, you can see that even the prince's prince ascended the throne!"
Seeing Changsun Wuji like this, Empress Changsun felt a chill in her heart, and Changsun Wuji's reaction was a little over.
"Brother, do you actually know what you know in your heart?" Empress Changsun said to herself softly: "Yes, you must have asked Wang Zikui, the Imperial Medical Office. How could you not ask? After all, we are brothers and sisters, so you can't ignore my sister's condition."
Changsun Wuji also noticed that he was a little out of control just now, so he took a breath and adjusted his condition, and said, "The Empress is too worried. I did ask Wang Shuling. On the day you woke up last time, Wang Shuling said that your condition had been controlled and there would be no problem. Don't think about it anymore, as it would be bad for your health."
"Brother," Queen Changsun smiled bitterly and said, "I am not a child, I know my own body bones. After taking the herbs prescribed by the Imperial Medical Office, although the condition has improved, the frequency of each disease is getting more and more frequent, and it is more serious every time. If this continues, I am afraid I won't last long."
"Actually, my sister called my elder brother to come today, just to ask," Empress Changsun interrupted Changsun Wuji and wanted to comfort her again, and said, "I want to ask my elder brother to tell me truthfully how long can I live?"
