Liu Mingzhi took the reins of the horse handed over by the imperial guards, got on his horse and walked slowly towards the street absentmindedly.
At this hour, I guess the third princess and her son had already returned home, so Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to walk alone.
Two out of thirty.
A veteran of three dynasties.
What does your Majesty mean by this?
Gu Li told me that he was old and it was time for him to delegate power.
Otherwise, why would you say this and then tell yourself that you want to make a big change in the court?
Change blood, replace old people with new ones.
Aren't they replaced by Tong Xiang, Wei Xiang, uncle Song Yu... and old ministers like myself!
Although thirty-two is not too young in the eyes of ancient people who are generally not very old, it is definitely not at the point where they should retire and return to their hometown.
A veteran in his thirties!
Liu Mingzhi silently murmured the content of every conversation he had with Li Ye when he was in the palace, thinking about what Li Ye wanted to express in his words.
But Li Ye later said that this king was personally appointed by the late emperor to guard the northern border, and he did not need to stay in the court to serve.
This sentence is obviously not suitable for his identity.
In this case, what does Li Ye mean by these words?
Not long after night fell, the lights began to turn on.
The main streets of the capital are filled with pedestrians.
Many vendors have already started setting up stalls, selling various items related to the Lantern Festival, the most eye-catching of which are various lanterns.
Golden rooster, goldfish, rat...
The variety of lantern shapes is dizzying.
Not only children, but also many talented people and beauties also meet to buy their favorite lanterns. During the Lantern Festival, they also meet to go out to the city to enjoy the lake, enjoy the scenery, and do something they like to do.
Spring is here, everything is coming back to life, and it’s time to make friends again.
"this is yours."
"this is for you!"
"This is for you!"
"Uncle, I don't want this goldfish, I want that golden monkey's lantern!"
"No, the golden monkey's lantern is for Qiao'er, you must have this!"
"Uncle, Qiao'er and brother will switch. If he wants the golden monkey, just give it to him."
The noise of the children woke Liu Mingzhi up. He subconsciously turned his head and looked around. On the street on the left, next to a stall selling lanterns, a group of seven or eight children were surrounding a young man of similar age in the middle. Holding the lantern in the boy's hand.
Although the young man is not old, he seems to have an extremely important say in how to distribute the lanterns in his hands.
Every child who gets a lantern will respectfully perform the courtesy of a junior, say thank you to his uncle, and then chase and play with the lantern he was assigned.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the young man's arrogant expression and shook his head happily. As the saying goes, elders come from small houses. This little kid is obviously young, but he is already the uncle of the other children.
Liu Mingzhi smiled slightly and looked away, not finding anything strange.
The situation in my own home will be almost the same in the future.
When the third brother Mingjie gets married and has children, his grandchildren will probably run away.
From generation to generation, the descendants of the third brother will be the elders of his descendants.
It exists in modern times, let alone ancient times.
Therefore, Young Master Liu looked at it for a while and then withdrew his gaze.
Looking at the large crowd in front of him, Liu Mingzhi got off his horse and walked slowly holding the reins. Looking at the children who ran in front of him at some point, especially the teenager who had become the leader of seven or eight children? Liu Mingzhi shook his head. Lead the horse and plan to make a detour.
"Little brat? You're not old, but you're still powerful!"
Mr. Liu, who muttered, had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. The horse rein in his hand suddenly tightened, pulling Feng Xing's horse's head back.
Feng Xing gently rubbed Young Master Liu's arm with his horse's head and sneezed, wondering why his master stopped suddenly.
Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at a group of children not far away for a while, slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace, and nodded with understanding.
"Hehe...hehe..."
Liu Mingzhi sneered softly as if there was no one around. The passers-by hurriedly left Young Master Liu and looked at Young Master Liu who was standing motionless and giggling with strange eyes.
I don’t know what’s going on with this man? He’s just standing there and giggling.
A thirty-two-year-old veteran of three dynasties? Throughout all dynasties, he is a rare existence.
This means that this king has too much power!
Liu Mingzhi figured out the key, then thought about it carefully and combined it with the content of the conversation with Li Ye, and finally came to this conclusion.
Li Ye did not want to retire and return home like old men in their fifties and sixties like Lao Jiang.
But he is saying that he has too much power.
Liu Mingzhi retracted his gaze from looking at the palace, and also put away his smile. He raised his hand and gently stroked the horse's mane: "Old man, you have been with me for ten years, and your rights are no longer small.
You are considered the veteran of our family. You are probably a horse that can walk sideways in our horse farm, and you have priority to enjoy the mating rights of a large group of fillies! "
No matter how well versed in human nature Feng Xing was, he could not understand the meaning of his master's words. He could only gently rub his horse's head on Young Master Liu's shoulder to express his intimacy with his master.
"Let's go, follow my master. I have traveled here and there, conquered the north and south, and made many great contributions to the court. As the saying goes, there is hard work without credit. What's more, you not only have credit but also hard work! Master, I will not dislike it. You have great power."
With a bitter look on his face, Liu Mingzhi held the horse's reins and shuttled through the crowd, heading towards the Liu Mansion.
"Sir, welcome to visit the store again next time. Please take your time to leave."
Walking outside Penglai Restaurant, a soft, ethereal, and extremely familiar voice made Liu Mingzhi subconsciously stop and turn his eyes.
Outside the door of Penglai Restaurant, Xue Bizhu was smiling and greeting every guest who went out after drinking.
Although they were far apart, Liu Mingzhi could still feel the bustle of people in the restaurant. It was obvious that business was booming and customers were arriving like clouds.
Liu Mingzhi held the reins of his horse and stopped among the crowd, silently looking at Xue Bizhu, an old friend whom he had known since Jiangnan for a long time, and his mood gradually calmed down.
The beauty puts on a little makeup and treats every guest equally with her gentle appearance, which is very comforting.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but recall the promise he made to Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi in the restaurant during the expedition last year, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.
I thought about going to say hello to the beautiful woman.
Meet old friends again, have a few drinks, sit together and chat about the past and life.
What a beautiful thing in life!
Just thinking of his current situation, Liu Mingzhi suppressed his thoughts. At the moment, he had no time to take care of himself and had no time to distract from the love between his children.
Now is not the best time to meet old friends.
On impulse!
It may even bring fatal disaster to the two women.
In this case, it would be better not to see each other.
Thinking a lot with mixed emotions in his heart, Liu Mingzhi took a deep look at the beautiful figure who was wiping her sweat and seeing off guests. He withdrew his gaze and led his mount through the crowd slowly away.
Xue Bizhu, who was seeing the guests off, seemed to feel something and subconsciously looked towards the street.
Looking at the passers-by who don't know how many times a day, the beautiful woman's eyes fell on a man leading a horse away. His back looked a little lonely and lonely, and his eyes lit up. He wanted to get up and catch up, but then stopped, his beautiful eyes It also dimmed.
She hoped that the person was the one she and sister Lingyi were looking forward to seeing, but she was also afraid that the person was just a passerby who was in a hurry.
"Sigh...Brother Liu, if it were you, you wouldn't be in a hurry."
"Boss Boss, what's going on? Have you seen your sweetheart, or have you fallen in love with a lucky man?"
"Mr. Zhao is just joking. How can I expect anyone to appreciate my little sister's delicate appearance?"
"The boss lady is being humble. You and Shopkeeper Huang are from Xixi Shi, a famous restaurant on this street. If you spit, the people who come to propose marriage will probably burst the restaurant.
I really don’t know who will be so lucky in the future and be able to embrace a beautiful woman. "
"hope so!"
"Executive member Zhao, please go slowly. Next time I come, my little sister will give you a discount."
"Okay, it's settled. I'll take my leave and wish you both a prosperous business."
"I accept your kind words, and I won't send you far away."
After Zhao Yuanwai left with a few old friends, Xue Bizhu raised his eyes again and looked at that figure.
But I don’t know when the person holding the horse has quietly passed away and is missing.
Only the streets were left with the lanterns on, showing the prosperity of the prosperous times.
PS: If you are tired, please make up for it.
