"Wang Langjun is here."
Wang Renbiao turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the porter, and said with a smile: "You have followed the army this time, have you achieved any military exploits?"
"We killed five thieves one after another." The concierge said with a smile: "But the villain is not like Zhang Sanlang and the eldest son of the Hou family. Naturally, he will follow the master."
Among Li Shan's personal guards, Zhang Zhongjian and Hou Hongtao were recognized as the two most eager for an official career. Wang Renbiao also knew this, so he just nodded with a smile and strode inside. He never needed to report his entry or exit into Li's house, and he did not even need to leave. Post's.
The concierge was one of the first personal guards to follow Li Shan and was Fan Shiyi's clan brother. While asking someone to take the horse away, he explained in a low voice to Liu Heier who happened to be at the door: "The husband of the Wang family was born in the Wang family of Qi County. My father is the former governor of Suizhou."
"Taiyuan Wang family?" Although Liu Hei'er is a barbarian, he also knows the Five Hopes and Seven Family.
"Um."
Liu Heier looked back at Wang Renbiao's back. Since he was appointed as the commander of the bodyguard by Li Shan, he naturally had to know about these connections. Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, Qu Silang and others had all explained it before in Xiaoguan.
However, Liu Hei'er only knew that this son of the Wang family in Taiyuan had a good relationship with Li Shan, and that his father was the Prince Consort and the brother-in-law of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty...Su Dingfang and the others would naturally not mention the fact that Wang Renbiao was kicked out. .
Wang Renbiao walked into the main hall without seeing many people. After all, they were not married yet, and there were not many servants in the Li family, and quite a few of them were women, who generally would not appear in the front yard.
Finally seeing a familiar servant, Wang Renbiao asked angrily: "Where is your husband?"
"Well……"
Wang Renbiao was a little surprised, "I asked at the village entrance and Huairen didn't go out today."
The servant touched his head and said, "Lang Jun doesn't seem to be up yet..."
Wang Renbiao was speechless. He walked under the eaves to look at the sun. He would prepare lunch soon... In this era, the grassroots people only eat two meals a day, but most wealthy families only eat three meals a day, let alone A noble man.
In the east courtyard of the backyard, Li Shan was still huddled in bed and refused to get up... On the one hand, the past few months were really exhausting, his mind was spinning all the time, and it was almost smoking. I can't sleep well at night. I often wake up late at night and toss and turn, making it difficult to fall asleep again.
Now I can finally sleep peacefully... It's hard to say anything else, at least Pei Shiju won't suddenly come out of the house.
On the other hand, not all cotton is used to make cotton armor. After all, Ren Gui had not committed suicide in defeat at that time, so he specially made several beds of cotton batting, with pads and covers. Although it was different from that of later generations. Too much the same... In later generations, playing cotton was a highly technical job.
But lying on it, covering his body, that feeling... made the corners of Li Shan's eyes moist.
It’s not easy!
"Madam has already asked me several times." Mrs. Zhou advised with a bitter face: "Mr. Lang, you'd better get up. When Madam gets angry..."
"You're back from the war and you can't sleep even if you want to?" Li Shan hugged Xiaoman and huddled in the bed, his voice sounded irritated, "By the way, I'll change my words in the next few days."
Xiaoman's voice was crisp, "Yes, we will get married in two months."
I don’t know what Li Shan did inside, but Xiao Manjiao smiled and cursed angrily, making Mrs. Zhou standing next to the bed blush all over...
Mrs. Zhou stopped trying to persuade her. It was hard to get out, but it would be bad if she was dragged in again... In this era, sleeping in is not a trivial matter, because usually, unless the official is away from home, it is necessary to sleep in the morning and dusk. This is related to filial piety. .
The Zhou family was originally from a low background. She was a widow before. She had always been cautious in the Li family, fearing that the Zhu family would associate Li Shan's sleeping in with her... In two months, the Cui family's young lady will come in.
But not long after he left, Mr. Zhou turned back and said, "Mr. Lang, the Wang family's husband is here. He has been waiting for a long time."
"Brother Xiaoqing?" Li Shan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first person to come to the door would be Wang Renbiao.
After getting up lazily, Li Shan was a little reluctant to part with the soft quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed, asking Xiaoman to dress him. Mrs. Zhou asked the maid to bring warm water, toothbrush, and tooth powder to help Li Shan wash up.
Li Shan felt a little guilty in his heart. He was also a poor student back then. How could he have fallen to this point? !
It’s too much to have someone wait on you even to get dressed, wash your face and brush your teeth!
"Mr. Lang, lift your feet."
Li Shan raised his feet, and Zhou squatted down to put on Li Shan's warm cotton shoes... Alas, my own resistance was too weak to withstand these gentle corrosions!
By the time Li Shan arrived at the main hall in the front yard, Wang Renbiao had been waiting for less than half an hour.
"Brother Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Shan apologized profusely as soon as he entered the door, "I have been working hard for several months..."
"After months of hard work, it's normal to sleep a little deeper." Wang Renbiao interrupted: "Brother, I just want to ask, when did Huairen sleep last night?"
In this era, most people go to bed at Xu time, which is around eight o'clock, and Hai time, which is later, around ten o'clock. No matter how late it is, it can't be later than Zi time, which is around twelve o'clock... The more officials and aristocratic families are, the more this is true, because the second The sky is either dawn and dusk, or it is morning.
If the father is going to the morning court, it will be more miserable for the son, who has to go to say hello before the morning court.
Li Shanqian laughed a few times, "Brother Xiaoqing, don't blame me... Hey, Zhu Ba, go to the kitchen and ask for some porridge and side dishes."
Zhu Ba blinked and said, "Lang Jun, no need, right?"
"What?" Li Shan stared, "I'm still hungry!"
Wang Renbiao on the side sighed: "What Zhu Ba means is that it's already lunch time."
Li Shan huffed for a long time without saying anything. This kind of breakfast and lunch... he had never experienced it in his previous life.
It was still the first month of the year, so Li Shan simply asked the kitchen to bring up a hot pot. Now the hot pot is quite famous in Chang'an West City. It is still used in the property that Du Ruhui compensated Li Shan. According to Ling Jing, there was a hot pot. Many staff members of the Ce government gathered there for a banquet, and Du Yan almost died of anger.
He picked up a fish ball, dipped it in some seasoning and put it into his mouth. Li Shan chewed it and said, "Brother Xiaoqing, it seems that I will stop taking it in the next few days. Have you thought about it?"
"It's a pity that I have already returned to Beijing. Otherwise, I would have gone to Yuanzhou and would have reunited with Brother Demou."
"Just before taking Xiao Guan, my younger brother and Brother Demou were talking about, if Brother Xiaoqing were here..."
Wang Renbiao felt warm in his heart and said softly: "The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the official secretary of the Zhongshu Ling Guan Guogong. It is difficult to serve as an official for the time being, so there is no rush."
"Brother Xiaoqing, let me go and tell you..."
"It's not urgent, it's really not urgent." Wang Renbiao interrupted: "Why wait for such a small thing?"
Li Shan was silent for a moment before sighing: "Then it's up to my brother. I just hope that my brother won't treat me as an outsider."
"Don't worry, I'll find you sometime."
Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren had a neutral political stance and was a very nimble figure who did not rely on both sides. Wang Renbiao had not passed the imperial examination and could only serve as an official in the name of his late father Wang Yuyin, so he had to pass the test of Princess Tong'an. Yang Gongren was not I will offend His Majesty's sister for Wang Renbiao.
Li Shan did have the ability to persuade Yang Gongren. Yang Gongren was present at the battle at Tiantai Mountain, but Wang Renbiao did not want his friend to waste this favor for his own official career.
What's more, Wang Renbiao knew it well. If he guessed correctly, it would not be difficult for him to become an official if he delayed it for a while.
