Time went back to half an hour ago.
Puningfang, Duke Wei's Mansion.
"Ha! Master, are you reading again~~?"
A young woman suddenly appeared at the door of the study. She was graceful and graceful. She looked to be in her twenties. She was wearing an archery uniform and thin-soled fast boots. Her sleeves were tied to her arms. She looked very handsome.
"Hmm~! Is something wrong with Chuchen~?"
Li Jing was studying some details in "Sun Tzu's Art of War". After hearing this familiar voice that had been with him for almost half his life, he quickly put down the book of war, rubbed his temples, and said weakly.
Chuchen, Zhang Chuchen, this beautiful young woman turned out to be Li Jing's first wife, the famous Hong Fu Nu.
However, Li Jing is already fifty-seven years old this year, and Hongfu Nu should be at least forty years old, not just fifty, right~? But looking at her face and her dress, she looks like a girl under twenty years old!
Also, Li Jing actually called Hongfu Nu not "Madam" but "Chuchen" directly. The relationship between the old couple was really strange.
"Hee hee~! I read military books at home every day, how boring it is~! It's better to read "Datang Daily" for fun~!"
Hongfu Nu held her hands behind her back, like a "sunshine girl", and jumped up to the desk. She took out a copy of "Datang Daily" from her sleeve and said with a smile.
Ahem, no wonder there is a legend in history that the Hongfu girl is still youthful even when she is eighty years old. Now it seems to be true. It's hard for you to imagine how it would feel to face a woman in her forties or fifties, smiling lightly like a girl. Anyway, Li Jing seemed to have developed a strong immunity to this "devil-like" girl's laughter. He glanced at the "Datang Daily" on the case with a blank expression, and moved his lips. Some people hesitate to speak.
"Master, you still don't like reading this newspaper~? How about we go to the backyard to sign and sign~?"
Obviously, Li Jing must have refused more than once before. Seeing the look on Li Jing's face, Hong Fu Nu immediately knew the answer, so she pouted her "little mouth" and said angrily.
"Uh~! Ahem~! Chuchen, this newspaper is just talking about old sesame seeds and rotten millet things. It's not as interesting as the art of war. I really don't have this ambition~!"
Li Jing's old face darkened and he vomited blood.
Let the military god of the Tang Dynasty put down his military books and read the "Datang Daily". I am afraid that only Hong Funu dares to do this~?
"Hehe~! Since I don't like reading newspapers, how about Chuchen telling him the story of the founder of "Datang Daily"~?"
Red Fu Girl pulled Li Jing's arm, blinked, and said with a "playful" smile.
"Haha, Chuchen is talking about Li Zexuan, right? I know a lot about him, he is a very promising young man!"
Li Jing shook his head and laughed.
"Hmph~! No! Master, you must have never heard of what I'm going to say. This is something new I just encountered in Dongshikou!"
The red-flecked girl "hummed" and said somewhat displeasedly.
"Ahem, tell me about Chuchen, I'm all ears!"
Li Jing retreated in defeat.
"Hee hee~! I met Li Zexuan's fiancée's family in Dongshi earlier, and she came to Chang'an to deliver her dowry~! It was such a grand occasion, with 20 million copper coins alone!"
"Oh~? I had heard before that Li Zexuan was about to get married, but I never thought it would happen so soon!"
"Giggle~, that's not what I want to say. Master, guess who is adding makeup~?"
"Well... I only know that Li Zexuan's fiancée's surname is Han and her given name is Yuxi. As for their family's relatives in Chang'an City, I really don't know!"
"Haha~! I'm just telling you, sir, you must have never heard of these things!"
Hong Fu Nu laughed happily, then moved a stool from the side and started to lecture Li Jing with great interest: "As soon as the Han family's team entered the city today, Du Yanheng of the Du family in Chonghua Fang personally led a makeup team. I followed her and said she was adding makeup to my niece!"
"Niece? Why is the Du family still related to the Han family girl~?"
"I heard from people around me that Han Yuxi's mother was Du Shiniang, the daughter of the Little Wine Saint Du Daoling. Moreover, Du Daoling did not agree to the marriage at first. Du Shiniang threatened her life, and finally Marry Han Tianhu! This matter was a big deal in Chang'an City at the time~! Master, didn't you hear about it at that time~?"
Hongfu Nu played with the hair on her chest while telling Li Jing the news she heard.
"Du Daoling...Du Shiniang...wait!"
Li Jing always felt that these two names were familiar. He frowned seriously for a while and then suddenly stood up and shouted: "Didn't Du Shiniang marry Han Tianlin at the beginning? Could it be that Han Yuxi's father is~?"
"No, no! Master, you guessed wrong! Han Yuxi's father is called Han Tianhu, not Han Tianlin!"
The Hongfu girl waved her hands with a superior look on her face and said.
"Han Tianhu? Haha~! That must be right, Han Yuxi's father must be Han Tianlin~!"
Li Jing said with great certainty.
"Master, is this really Xiao Linzi of the Han family~?"
The red-whisker girl rolled her eyes and suddenly asked excitedly.
"Well, it's the same thing. In order to live a leisurely life, this kid really stayed anonymous and hid it from everyone!"
Li Jing recalled the past with a nostalgic look on his face. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Quick~! Chuchen quickly instructs all the servants in the house to prepare dozens of carts of gifts immediately, and go and add makeup to the Han family girl now! "
"Oh~! That's right! If it's really Xiao Linzi, then isn't Han Yuxi your grand-niece? We really should go add makeup!"
Hong Fu Nu reacted and said happily.
Li Jing said speechlessly: "Isn't she also your grand-niece?"
"Huh~! No! I'm still so young, so I don't want to be someone else's great-uncle! I'd better be your own master!"
The red-flecked girl "hummed" and was about to go out.
When Li Jing heard this, his face was full of dark lines. Is this what a grandmother should say?
"Hey~! By the way, sir! If we want to catch up with the Han family's team, we have to hurry up! But if this happens, we won't have time to prepare many things. What should we do?"
As soon as Hongfu Nu came to the door, she woke up and turned around and asked.
"Haha~! It doesn't matter! Even if we don't bring anything and just send some people to support the Han family, Xiao Linzi will be very happy~!"
Li Jing stroked his beard and said calmly.
"Yeah~! It's true~! Then I will go and give makeup to the girl of the Han family in person!"
Hong Fu Nu said eagerly.
"Nonsense~! Just let Dejian go. What will happen if you go?"
Li Jing was not in a good mood. Throughout history, how could any great-uncle or grand-uncle personally go to give makeup to his grand-niece?
"Hmph~! Why can't I go~? Am I not allowed to see people?"
Hong Fu Nu said angrily with her hands on her hips, her fierce and arrogant side clearly revealed.
"You~!"
Li Jing's forehead was throbbing with veins. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare. After a pause, he could only swallow his anger and coax him nicely: "Ahem, Chuchen, being a husband is definitely not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean~?"
"Uh... look, if you ask Dejian to deliver makeup, we can practice martial arts in the backyard. I haven't tested your martial arts for a long time!"
"Oh! So that's it! Master, please wait a moment. I'll ask Dejian to take someone to deliver the makeup, and then we'll make some gestures!"
Hong Fu Nu smiled and ran out immediately!
