Li Dan woke up and touched it with his hand. There was a soft and warm body next to him, with a faint smell of lavender and frankincense.
woman? When he thought about it, he instinctively became vigilant and did not dare to move again. He turned over slightly, feeling quite top-heavy.
He held the head of the bed to steady himself and took a few deep breaths, but unexpectedly he was filled with the smell of alcohol.
"Damn it, how much did you drink?" In his memory, this was the first time he had been drunk like this in twenty years since he came to this era. He looked at himself and saw that he was stripped down to his shorts.
I wanted to go find some water to drink, but felt that this seemed inappropriate.
So he slowly got up and saw the hemp shoes neatly placed under the bed, and walked a few steps forward. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw the woman hanging herself and her clothes neatly on the bed.
It seems that this is a servant girl of the master's family who was sent to attend the bed.
At that time, it was not surprising that wealthy people often behaved like this. Li Dan didn't see a water bottle or teapot, so he went out to look for it. Standing in the yard and looking up, it was about midnight. Not a single cat around
Li Dan had no choice but to go back, but he didn't notice when he came out. Which door did he come out from?
One step deeper, one step shallower, wandering around, I came to a place. I looked up and saw a starling there, and smiled. I thought I was right this time.
But when I looked to the side, I was confused. Hey, are there stairs here? I don’t remember coming down from upstairs.
But... I used to live upstairs with Tao Niang in my arms. He became even more confused when he thought about it. What's going on? We arrived home after just two turns? Go upstairs and take a look, there are starlings here too. Hey, did I remember wrongly that I had gone downstairs?
He stood there and rubbed his temples, but couldn't remember. When I walked to the bed, the woman was still asleep. Li Dan laughed secretly that he was actually confused by the wine he invented. It would be a joke if word spread about it!
He lay down on the edge of the bed and smelled lavender. Yes, this tastes right! As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that there was a flow of energy going down, filling it up to the ground.
Well, since your master sent you here, it’s hard to live up to it.
When Li Dan thought of this, he sat up. For a moment, the woman was like a newly peeled lotus seed. Looking from behind her, oh, why does it seem so much thinner than before? But it should be thin and round.
Li Dan looked at her head and became even more dizzy. He leaned on her back and exerted force. The woman moaned a few times and seemed to wake up, biting the pillow.
When Li Dan lay down on his back during the intermission, he heard the woman gently ask: "General, is that you?"
"Huh?" Li Dan suddenly felt something was wrong. When he turned over to look, the woman covered her face with her hands: "General, stop looking, it's embarrassing!"
"You're not a servant, who are you?" Li Dan felt that he was sober from the wine.
"General, please speak softly, slave... My surname is Yin, and my courtesy name is Xiuyu. She is the granddaughter of this family, and I have been fostered in my grandfather's home for five years."
Li Dan was stunned. Lao Sun's granddaughter? He quickly asked: "Then, is this your boudoir?"
"yes."
"It's broken!" Li Dan thought to himself. Suddenly he felt something was wrong and touched it with his hand: "Is there no red on the bed?"
"General, don't be upset. You lie down first and wait for me to come." Xiuyu asked Li Dan to lie down, and they both turned sideways, facing each other.
"You, I'm listening." Li Dan's right hand brushed the curve of her waist, and Xiuyu shrank slightly.
It turned out that Xiuyu's father was Yin Cong, a famous general in Shandong during the anti-Japanese war. His father and Sun Dou'en were colleagues when they were young, and they had a marriage agreement for their children, so when Yin Cong grew up, he married Sun Dou'en's three daughters.
Unexpectedly, when Xiuyu was two years old, her mother passed away. Yincong was severely hit and was unable to recover. He actually had the idea of escaping into Buddhism. The second year after Xiuyu was sent to Liaodong, news came out that Yin Cong had been ordained.
Xiuyu was sent here when she was twelve years old, and Boss Bing felt pity for her more than his own daughter.
Unexpectedly, more than a year ago, Sun Zhe actually played with her in the name of teaching him calligraphy, and later went even further and took away her Yuanhong. It was only later that Xiuyu became more vigilant, and Sun Zhe stopped harassing her.
"Then, how do you know who I am?" Li Dan asked.
"Li Sanlang's name has been mentioned many times by his family, so today I made an appointment with Tan to take a sneak peek, and happened to see the general drinking..." Xiuyu answered shyly.
"Okay, he's still a peeping thief!" Li Danzhu lifted her chin.
Maybe it was because she was born in the Wu family. Compared to Huer, this girl was obviously in better physical condition, with phoenix eyes and light eyebrows, and she looked affectionate under the moonlight.
"Did you wake up just now?" Li Dan asked again: "Why didn't you shout, why didn't you resist? Are you afraid?"
Xiuyu shook his head, lowered his eyelids and whispered: "After reading it, I am satisfied. The general is indeed as heroic as I thought. So based on the footsteps, breath, and the smell of alcohol, I guess it's you.
But I don’t know why you found here, found me? No matter what, I am happy, I am happy. "
"I was drunk and passed out looking for water, so I ended up here in a daze." Li Dan hit the back of his head, thinking that this was going to be troublesome, and Sun Zhe was involved, so it was quite complicated. .
"General, you want water? I'm here." Xiuyu slowly got out of bed and went to get a kettle. Li Dan didn't care about anything else, he drank until he was full. Xiuyu couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing when she saw him like this from the bedside.
When she took the empty pot and put it away, and walked back, Li Dan frowned: "Why don't you put on some clothes? What if someone sees you?"
"To quench the general's thirst, I can't care less."
Li Dan felt hot and asked, "The general is hungry and thirsty now. Are you willing to transform into a tiger?"
"I'm afraid that the tiger drank so much water that it won't be able to swallow me!"
"Impossible!" Li Dan stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms and asked in a low voice, "Will you follow me?"
Xiuyu closed her eyes and said nothing. She looked to the other side and nodded shyly. With Li Dan here, she can get out of this prison, no longer live in fear, and maybe she can go to Shangjing? Regardless of whether she could succeed or not, she was going to try.
Li Dan picked up her legs, turned around and put her on the bed. This time he didn't want to end the fight so quickly.
Now that he has decided to take away this girl, he must occupy every inch of her skin, her lips, nails, every sensitive place, and even her heart.
Sun Zhe stared at the maid in front of him dumbfounded: "Where is the person?"
"No, I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? How could you not know that you were in the same room with him last night?"
"My maid did sleep with the general, but she slept too hard. I don't know when he went out." The maid replied aggrievedly: "When my maid went to bed, he was still drunk and unconscious."
"Okay, stop defending, go back first." Sun Qing looked around the room, walked to the door with his hands behind his back and waved, and the maid hurriedly lowered her head and left as if she had been granted amnesty.
"Brother, what is this?" Sun Zhe said angrily, but suddenly became afraid and lowered his voice: "He won't go to the emperor to file a lawsuit against our family, right?"
"Huh!" Sun Qing glared: "Li Sanlang is rare in the world, how can he have such a big heart as you say?" After he said this, he himself was puzzled: "The leather belt and boots are still there, Ming has not gone far. .But where did it go?"
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a shivering maid coming in from outside: "Greetings to the eldest and second lords."
"Huh?" Sun Qing turned around and saw that it was Tan in his niece Xiuyu's room. He didn't care about anything else at the moment and responded casually.
But Sun Zhe hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Tan'er, I haven't seen you for a long time and I have grown taller again. How is your sister? But does he need help with anything?"
Tan knew that this uncle was powerful, so he quickly took a step back and shook his head: "No, my sister sent a slave to report, and asked the uncle to come and help her make the decision. And General Li is upstairs above us."
"What?" The brothers were shocked.
"The common people pay their respects to the general." Tan stopped Sun Zhe according to Li Dan's instructions and asked only Sun Qing to go upstairs.
"Uncle, don't be so formal. This is your own home after all."
With the help of Xiuyu and Tan, Li Dan put on the leather belt and quick boots he had brought back, and then he sat on the edge of the bed with a golden sword. He smiled and asked him to sit on the chair next to him while he buttoned the buttons on his arm guards. Son, apologize:
"I was so drunk last night that I ended up here in a daze. I'm really ashamed and made everyone laugh."
"Where, where, I just... I wonder if the general is resting well?" Sun Qing glanced at Xiuyu and sighed in his heart when he saw her standing next to Li Dan with her head bowed, her back turned.
"Very good!" Of course Li Dan couldn't sleep for only two hours by himself: "Xiuyu is a sensible and gentle girl. Since I broke into her boudoir, I can't let her down. I want to give her justice, so please The elders come to discuss."
"How dare a commoner?" Sun Qing quickly handed over his hand. Yesterday, Li Dan was just a sixth-rank military supervisor, but now he holds the rank of general and has the right to consult, which is equivalent to the emperor giving him the power of a fourth-rank officer.
He already understood what Li Dan meant, but this was not something he dared to make the decision about Xiuyu. "The civilians will go to discuss with my father and ask the general to stay for a while."
"Of course!" Li Dan stood up with a smile: "My uncle, don't always be a grassroots person from now on. Why are you so polite to me?
You can call Sanlang or Zedong. Yesterday I discussed with the boss that you should go to Raozhou Trading Company to work. What do you think? I want to hear your opinion in person. "
"This..." Sun Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed and handed over his hand: "Thank you Sanlang, but I am a solid and dull person. It's okay if you want me to do business, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do big business.
I would rather be like now, tending the crops and land on the farm, and see the harvest and the mountains full of fruits after autumn. That's good. "
"Oh?" Li Dan looked over attentively: "What is the yield per mu of your farm now? What do you grow?"
Sun Qing gave a brief introduction. While listening, Li Dan asked Xiuyu to pass on some food and drink to come early, and then said: "I heard that the average local rice yield per mu is only 150 kilograms, and wheat is more.
According to your figures, the yield per acre is close to 200 kilograms, and the wheat yield is 30 kilograms more than others. This is amazing! How did you do it? "
"It's actually simple. My family has a lot of land. There are more than 4,000 acres on the farm, and it is connected together, which is convenient for livestock farming. We use half of it and leave half free.
The land is plowed deeply during autumn harvest and spring plowing. The former freezes the insects to death, while the latter plows the nutrients brought by rain and snow into the ground. In addition, I can get a lot of mule and horse manure to compost, and the soil quality here is good, so it will naturally produce results. It's a pity that it can only be collected for one season. "
"Land rotation system, plus deep plowing, top dressing, and large-area operations with animal power. Well, these experiences are very good! Find time to come to your farm and have a look." Li Dan said with a high chest, "If you don't want to do business, just come to Liaonan How about becoming a 'field captain' in the shogunate?"
Sun Qing was overjoyed and immediately accepted the invitation, and then happily went downstairs to find his father. Sun Zhe followed, asking them what was so lively upstairs.
Upstairs, Xiuyu tugged on Li Dan's sleeve: "Why didn't you have anything to do with your uncle?"
"Be a good person, but I'm showing mercy now because I don't want to embarrass you or the Sun family. If he doesn't know how to be a good person in the future, I will always punish him!" Li Dan said fiercely.
Sun Douen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that his boss had done something about Xiuyu. Originally, he asked his two sons to send a maid to accompany him to please Li Dan, but he did not expect that his granddaughter would be included in the job by accident.
"Oh, that's fine!" He went to the Buddhist hall to find his old wife, and Mrs. Sun actually clapped her hands in agreement: "Your original intention was to win over Li Dan. If he marries Xiuyu as his concubine, then the two families will be relatives. Going upstairs?
This Li Sanlang is young but has the trust of the emperor. We in the martial arts family rarely get married to civil servants, so it is even rarer to get married to such a person.
However, since he just got rich, it is not appropriate to make this matter too public and let the censors get a whiff of it! "
After hearing what she said, Lao Sun felt that it made sense, and asked his son to invite Li Dan when he came out. The two sides will exchange their horoscopes first, so that the appointment can be made within three days.
In this regard, Li Dan changed the courtesy to Sun Dou'en as a junior. No one cared about this, so he beheaded him first and told him later. Instead, the whole family happily sent him out.
A few days later, after the recruitment, matchmaking, and other steps were completed at once, Xiuyu, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, was picked up by a red four-wheeled carriage and escorted by forty knights at the front and rear. The back of the Jiangnan Province Governor's Office listed by Li Dangang in Haizhou City.
From then on, Li Dan and Xiu Yu stayed together for seven or eight years. Later, Xiu Yu was embarrassed and asked Tan'er to lock the door while he was out. Li Dan had no choice but to turn around and go to Huo'er's room to stay.
Unexpectedly, after one meal, a big living person came back, which made Huan'er feel angry.
Fortunately, Li Dan had experience in his previous life and had already found a good tailor to use cotton that was relatively rare at that time to quilt quilts, pillows, and a full set of bulging clothes, wool socks, hats, scarves, etc. for his future baby.
Huner melted at her husband's thoughtfulness, and the straightforward Miao girl forgave him almost immediately.
The most aggrieved person is Tao Niang. She has no baby to win Li Dan's heart, so she can only shed tears constantly. Huner scolded Li Dan, who had just been driven back by Xiuyu, and told him to go accompany Tao Niang first.
After a night of tenderness, Li Dan was surprised to find that this girl was much more fierce than before. "Huh, I didn't ask you to force me!" Tao Niang raised her hand and slapped his abdominal muscles very loudly in annoyance.
