Although he went to bed very late last night, Li Shan woke up very early the next day, and the quality of his sleep this night was very good.
In the past few months, Li Shan basically couldn't sleep well... He always felt like there was an alarm clock next to his head, ready to be activated at any time.
The concierge Lao Fan had already boiled hot water, and Li Shan slowly washed his face and brushed his teeth... He felt sad when he talked about this. He brought three toothbrushes with him to Shandong, but lost them when the Turks kicked him out.
In other words, Li Shan has not brushed his teeth for almost two months.
After struggling for a while, Li Shan asked Mo Xiang. His mother hadn't gotten up yet, so he asked the kitchen to make a bowl of noodle soup and filled his stomach casually... The family has never been very particular about this aspect.
It was already dark when I was wandering around yesterday, and I just took a walk today to take a closer look, and there were quite a few surprises.
Li Shan climbed up to the small hill not far from the west end of the village and looked around. In front of him was a fairly small circular pool. He had already dug it when he followed the army south, and now it has a lot of water.
Two gentle aqueducts slowly lead the pond water into the village, flowing past the door of each house and winding eastward.
"Dalang, I saw it yesterday. A pool was dug at the east entrance of the village." Behind him was Zhu Ba.
Su Dingfang strictly ordered that whenever Li Shan goes out, there must be personal guards by his side... Well, this is mainly due to Ling Jing's instructions to Su Dingfang. Hey, Li Huairen is so capable of causing trouble!
"I heard Xiaoman say last night that it's Crescent Lake." Li Shan rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "The village can be renamed, Riyue Village, or Riyue Village."
Zhu Ba said carelessly: "When Da Lang is knighted in the future and Zhuangzi returns to his name, it won't matter what name he changes."
Knighted?
It's a bit difficult. It takes a lot of effort to gain a foothold in Chang'an.
Li Shan thought in his heart that what Ling Jing said yesterday was right... It was unlikely that he would hide his life experience for a long time.
Even if Li Dewu was unwilling to disclose it and Li Keshi and his wife, Wang Renbiao, and Li Kai strictly kept the secret, it was inevitable that Li Shimin would make some fuss about this matter.
This kind of political creature... basically has no moral integrity at all.
You should find an opportunity...a suitable time, or find a suitable candidate.
Li Shan stopped on the hill for a long time, thinking about these things. He turned around and looked around, and saw a silver light flashing on the east mountain to the north.
After squinting for a while, Li Shancai suddenly realized that it was a diversion canal that diverted water from Dongshan. It gradually fell down layer by layer and snaked down... This was something Li Kai specially asked a master craftsman from the Ministry of Industry to help design.
The size of the water potential, the amount of water diversion, and the specifications, layout, and direction of the diversion canal are not random.
"Da Lang, Lao Fan is here."
Li Shan turned his head and glanced, and the concierge Lao Fan came over panting, "Mr. Lang, we have a distinguished guest coming."
Li Shan was a little surprised. Who would come to visit so early?
And it was early in the morning after he came back... Is the news so well-informed?
On the first morning after arriving in Zhujiagou, Ling Jing also got up very early. As people get older, they sleep less.
After washing, Ling Jing was preparing to eat when he suddenly heard a horse neighing outside. He stood up and took a look, feeling a little surprised.
Dozens of people were riding at the door of the Li family's house next door. The leader was a middle-aged man in a long-sleeved robe, with a broad face, a long beard, and fair skin.
Just by looking at the gorgeous clothes, the many servants, and the strong horses, you can tell that you are not an ordinary person... Ling Jing cursed secretly. He said yesterday that he would let you thank guests behind closed doors. This is good. Someone came to the door the next morning. !
I'm afraid it's a bit difficult not to cause trouble.
Ling Jingren was old and his eyesight was dazzled, but he could see more clearly from a distance than up close. He could clearly see that the middle-aged man looked at Li Shan with a hint of joy and kindness in his eyes.
Li Shan turned around and saw Ling Jing, smiled and saluted, and introduced: "This is Mr. Ling Jing, who served under the former King of Xia."
The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly and his voice became slightly hoarse, "I have heard Mr.'s name for a long time."
"Uncle Ling, this is the Minister of Zhongshu, the Sima of Tiance Mansion, and the Duke of Ying State, Yu Wenren."
Ling Jing's expression also changed slightly. Of course he knew that this Yuwenshiji was the youngest son of Yuwenshu, a famous minister in the former dynasty, and the younger brother of Yuwenwenji who killed Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
After only a moment of silence, Ling Jing made a long salute, took a few steps back, and then turned around and left.
Li Shan was greatly surprised, "Duke Ying and Uncle Ling..."
"Ling Jing is a famous scholar in Shandong and is Dou Jiande's confidant. During the battle in Liaocheng, he was the one who urged Dou Jiande not to retreat for a long time." Yu Wenshiji sighed: "Both the eldest brother and the second brother were killed... No wonder he."
Li Shan barely understood, and after thinking for a while he could only close his mouth and remain silent.
Yu Wenshiji shook his head, "This time the Shandong group has become famous all over the world. I heard Xuanling mention it yesterday that the Turkic Khan praised you for your wisdom as an ovary and your talent as Chen Ping?"
"It must be flattering, it must be flattering." Li Shan smiled bitterly. After the victory in Wei County, his chess piece already had a lot of weight, but after the incident in Qinghe County, he only wanted to calm down the fire.
Yu Wenshiji chuckled lightly and turned to look at Dongshan, "I got up early today and suddenly felt something. I wanted to climb the mountain to worship the temple."
Oh, I came to see my ex-wife.
Li Shan immediately went in to tidy up, changed his clothes and accompanied Yu Wenshiji up the mountain.
Li Shan had already found out about Yu Wenshi and those old stories. Hey, he was also a scumbag!
However, he is still slightly better than Li Dewu, who is even more vicious and ferocious.
The key is that Li Dewu abandoned his wife and son, and it was Li Shan who abandoned him, and Yuwen Shiji... What does it have to do with me if he is a scumbag again?
What's more, after helping Li Shan several times, it was too late to express his gratitude.
While walking slowly up the mountain and chatting casually, Yu Wenshiji asked with interest about the details of the Shandong War, but Li Shan easily discovered that the eyes of the Minister of Internal Affairs were wandering, and it was obvious that his mind was not on these topics.
After entering the temple, Li Shan, Yu Wenshi and the familiar Qiguai Baguai stopped outside a small courtyard, which was the place where Princess Nanyang practiced cultivation.
The door was opened by a middle-aged maid. Yu Wenshiji went up with great expectations, turning back to point at the servant Li Shan from time to time, but after the maid replied... Yu Wenshiji was still turned away, and Li Shan was introduced into the courtyard. .
Not long after, Li Shan came out of the yard and said innocently: "I only burned three sticks of incense, and before I could say anything... I was kicked out."
Yu Wenshiji sighed and walked back and forth silently around the yard.
Li Shan was bored as he followed, thinking that you had already married Li Tangzong's daughter, why would you go back to your ex-wife, Princess Nanyang?
Is it possible that you still want to be big on both ends?
In fact, Yuwen Shiji and Li Dewu are still different.
Yu Wenshiji and Princess Nanyang were separated during the war, but fate played a trick on them. Her husband went to BeiTang and went to Li Tang. It was not considered that he abandoned his wife and son, but his only son was later killed by Dou Jiande.
After the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, Yu Wenshiji and Princess Nanyang reunited in Luoyang. The former asked to reunite as husband and wife, but the latter refused... Not only was she heartbroken that her beloved son was killed, but it was also mixed with the hatred of the country and the family.
Princess Nanyang is the eldest daughter of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.
"She...she didn't say anything?"
"I only mentioned my mother for a few months. She went to the temple to offer incense and worship almost every other day."
Yu Wenshiji was really not a sweet lover, his face was gloomy, and after a moment he whispered: "Send more seasonal fruits in the future."
"Well, there must be no shortage."
Yuwen Shiji turned his head and stared at the small courtyard again, and then left after a long time.
In the yard, the beautiful middle-aged woman sighed softly. The young couple held hands with each other and never gave up even if something happened, but in the end they were not destined to be together in this life.
