"The child is unfilial and makes the mother worried."
"Get up." Zhu's voice was a little dry, "How is your injury?"
"It's nothing serious." Li Shan stood up with a smile, "I was very drunk yesterday and couldn't come to worship. Please don't blame my mother."
Looking at the heroic son in front of her, Zhu felt a little helpless. She had long been unable to control this son. She had previously thought about letting her brother control him one day, but now it seems that she can only ask Princess Pingyang.
"It's really not a problem, is it?" Mrs. Zhang on the side said with a smile: "This is a great achievement, and I have been promoted to the title of King of Wei, but I can't be like Lang again in the future."
"Yes, you should be careful in the future."
Changsun, who arrived early this morning, asked: "After this battle, Master Liang is no longer able to resist, right?"
"Yes." Li Shan thought for a while and then said: "Lingzhou and Yanzhou sent troops. Su Dingfang and Dou Gong are both famous generals. The freeze has not yet begun. The Turks will never go south in large numbers at this time. They should be able to destroy the Liang Kingdom before April."
After a pause, Li Shan added: "Now Feng Li is the cavalry general manager, and Duan Zhixuan and his uncle are the deputy general managers... Although Feng Li is a confidant of the East Palace, he is by no means a sinister villain."
Changsun smiled and nodded, "Sanlang's letter mentioned that before the battle of Huairen, all generals should be restrained and should join hands to fight the enemy. If they sit back and watch, they will be beheaded immediately."
"My nephew will definitely not make the same mistakes since I moved to Bo and Guji Town."
"It's a pity that Huairen has returned to the capital." Changsun said regretfully: "If we can capture Liang Shidu, we will definitely be able to offer prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
The last time the Imperial Ancestral Temple offered prisoners was after the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang. Only Li Shimin had such an honor in the entire dynasty. Zhang was from a noble family, and her husband's family was the Cui family of Qinghe. They didn't care much about this, but the Changsun family was different and felt great regret.
Pilitang, the eldest son of Luoyang, was good at riding and shooting. He passed down the art of war to his family and attached great importance to military exploits.
Zhang said casually: "If it weren't for those rumors, Huairen wouldn't have invited himself back to Beijing."
Changsun pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything else. She was among the first people to know about Li Shan's life experience, and even the Zhu family, who was considered a sister, didn't know about it.
Thinking of this, Changsun glanced at Zhu, who was in a daze.
In fact, Mrs. Zhu is not stupid. Unlike Ms. Zhang, she was pampered by her parents since she was a child. After getting married, she was pampered by her husband. There was almost no tempering... How could Mr. Zhu not know that her son probably didn't return because of that rumor? Because Princess Pingyang has repeatedly provided guarantee before, His Majesty has no doubts.
More importantly, Mr. Zhu knew it well. Nowadays, there are rumors that the East Palace is unstable, and his son suddenly returned to Beijing at this time. How could it be a coincidence?
But did the son choose the East Palace or the King of Qin?
Over the past few years, Mrs. Zhu has also vaguely guessed her son's tendencies... because her son had guessed the person in the East Palace very early. After the mother and son had a frank talk last year, although they did not name the person, with Li Shan's information channels, It is not difficult to find out someone among the officials in the East Palace, not to mention that his surname is not Zhu, but Erzhu.
If his son chooses the East Palace, there is no need to hide it from him anymore, not to mention that his son has not contacted his brother so far.
Mrs. Zhu sighed softly. At the beginning of last year, she was still thinking that after the prince ascended the throne, with Princess Pingyang and her brother here, how could she keep her son... Now she had to consider a problem. In the future, King Qin would enter the throne. Lord of the East Palace, how could he ask his son to persuade the King of Qin to forgive his uncle?
At this time, Cui Shiniang came with a tea tray and paid homage to the Changsun family first, then to the Zhu family, then to the Zhang family, and finally it was Li Shan's turn.
"Thank you, sister." Li Shan stood up to thank him, but he was muttering in his heart. He didn't know whether the young lady did it deliberately or unintentionally... but it is more likely to be unintentional, and it is more likely to be from a thousand-year-old family like the Cui family in Qinghe. Cultivated by subtle influences.
The reason for respecting the Changsun family first is because one is a guest and the second is a matchmaker. The second one is to respect the Zhu family, not because she is the future mother-in-law, but because she is a guest now... From this perspective, the order of serving tea is first to the outside and then to the outside. Inside, first far and then close.
"Eleven Niang is often invited by Princess Pingyang to stay at the house before and after years." Changsun said with a smile: "Sisters are very close to each other."
Li Shan said seriously: "Although we are not blood relatives, the third sister treats me like a brother, so eleven mothers cannot be treated like sisters."
Cui Shiniang was still confused, and Changsun laughed out loud, bending over with laughter, "Huairen can't wait so much?"
"At least we have to wait until the wedding before the eleventh mother changes her tune."
Cui Shiniang glanced angrily, and Li Shan cupped her hands and said, "Wrong, wrong. From now on, if my sister has the support of the third sister, she should stay away."
"Speaking of which, I was whipped by my third sister yesterday... If I remember correctly, the whip seemed to belong to my younger sister?"
Cui Shiniang opened her mouth and was about to explain that her father insisted on lending it out, but Li Shan jumped in front and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, I just want to be whipped by the third sister, it would be better to be whipped by the younger sister."
Mrs. Zhu angrily scolded: "Eleventh Mother, remember, you will not be merciful when you are whipped!"
Cui Shiniang's cheeks were flushed, and even her neck was stained with a faint blush. Li Shan couldn't help but swallow quietly.
Mrs. Zhang is happy to see this scene. Although she is more and more pleased with Li Shan as her son-in-law, she also hopes to see her daughter and son-in-law get along well with each other... Considering Cui Bo's severed head many years ago, considering Li Shan With his current status, his willingness to work low and low is obviously not because of Cui's status in Qinghe.
"It's not a good thing to retreat!" Changsun said jokingly: "Eleventh Mother is weak, do you still have to retreat three times in a row and then quickly counterattack?"
Well, both Li Keshi and Li Kai once commented on Li Shan's acting style... His counterattack after retreating was extremely swift.
Li Shan's expression was a little strange, and he glanced at Eleven Niang's slender figure from the corner of his eye, "My sister is weak..."
After all, Cui Shiniang was a little confused when she heard this. The other three middle-aged women all cursed in secret... Zhang remembered that her husband Cui Xin had scolded someone for being nostalgic for Pingkangfang more than ten or eight times, which was definitely not good. match.
Changsun coughed twice and changed the subject, "By the way, Huairen is going back to Zhuangzi today, where is Zhao Guogong?"
Li Shandu has returned to Beijing. Naturally, Mrs. Zhu cannot continue to live in the Cui Mansion, otherwise she will really become a son-in-law. The servants, Mrs. Zhou and Xiaoman are cleaning up over there, and Su Dingfang's mother was arranged to stay with Li Shandu. Homebody.
This aunt would not mention this matter without reason. Li Shan narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Is it still appropriate?"
"Haha, Duke Zhao married a good wife. She serves her every day and never leaves her." Changsun said with a smile: "Yesterday I heard that my mother-in-law went to the Dazongchi Temple to offer incense, so she hurried there..."
The smile lingered on Li Shan's face, "Auntie, are you envious?"
"Hahaha……"
Zhang and Cui Shiniang couldn't hear anything, but Zhu vaguely heard something. It seemed that Su Dingfang's mother was not at peace in the Li family... She remembered clearly that on New Year's Eve last year, Su's mother He once publicly proposed that the Su family move to Chang'an City.
