After only sleeping for two hours, Li Yue was a little confused at the moment, her pajamas hanging on her shoulders.
She regained her composure and whispered, "What time is it?"
"It's morning time."
Zhang Yang opened the door, the sun just shined in, and boiled water to wash up.
Li Yue returned to her room, got dressed and sat on the rocking chair at the door, still in a daze, as if her soul had not yet returned from sleep.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang Yang didn't go to bed until the second watch, and Zhang Yang didn't get enough sleep.
In this era of scarcity, getting up early is an important thing. If you get up late, you will not be able to find work, and your daily livelihood will be uncertain.
The early bird catches the worm. This is a very profound experience in ancient times.
Li Yue knew that Zhang Yang had the habit of getting up early. No matter how late he went to bed, he would always get up early.
After pouring hot water, the two of them stood together and washed.
Sprinkle some coarse salt on your toothbrush, rinse your mouth and brush your teeth.
Washing my face with hot water finally made me feel more energetic.
Take a deep breath of the fresh morning air and have another day full of energy.
Li Yue looked at the sky as if she was still recalling the fireworks scene in her mind. After thinking for a while, she said, "I dreamed about fireworks. They are very beautiful."
While talking in a low voice, Li Yue looked back and saw Zhang Yang busy making breakfast at the stove and steaming another basket of steamed buns.
"Yeah! There are steamed buns to eat today."
Seeing his wife looking at the steamer expectantly, Zhang Yang said: "There are some rice noodles left over from making fermented dumplings last night, which can be used to make steamed buns."
Not only does Li Yue like fermented dumplings, she also doesn’t have much resistance to steamed buns.
The courtyard door was pushed open, and Aunt Wang came over with a duck, "I heard your wife said she wanted to eat duck yesterday, so Auntie brought one for you."
Roast duck takes some time to make. Li Yue is generally not too reserved about delicious food. She usually doesn't accept the kindness of her neighbors, but this time she didn't refuse.
My heart said that this stance was too unsteady.
One delicious dish will conquer you.
The live ducks were still flapping their wings.
Aunt Yang came over in a hurry and said, "Let me kill the duck."
If Zhang Yang wanted to say anything else, the two aunts had already started killing the ducks.
While watching them kill the duck, Zhang Yang whispered to Li Yue: "What a good neighbor. These two aunts are so enthusiastic."
Li Yue smiled and said, "Aunts are good people."
By the way, they have been sitting here since they first met Li Yue.
Zhang Yang sighed: "There are still many good people."
Zhang Yang brought out the steamed buns and porridge, "Aunties, let's eat some together."
"No."
Aunt Yang and Aunt Wang waved their hands together.
Seeing that they were still busy killing ducks, Zhang Yang couldn't force himself.
The steamed buns were very small and went well with the porridge. I also took some pickled radishes and went well with the vegetable porridge.
While eating breakfast, there was a very violent scene in front of me.
The two aunts cooperated perfectly, and they could reach a good tacit understanding without any communication at all, as if they had been working together for a long time.
Bleeding and hair plucking were done skillfully in one go. He raised the knife and dropped it. The duck, which could still flutter, soon lay naked in the basin.
Can't help but take a breath, professional!
There was a knock on the courtyard door.
On weekdays, almost no one comes to visit, except for my two neighbors, not even passers-by.
Xin said that he might have heard wrongly.
"Dong dong dong..."
The knock on the door came again, this time the sound was much clearer than before. Zhang Yang turned back and looked at the door of his courtyard.
"Dong dong dong..."
This time it was confirmed that it was indeed knocking on the door, and it was either the neighbor’s courtyard door or my own home.
Zhang Yang stepped forward and wanted to confirm again. After all, this kind of thing was too incredible.
Someone actually knocked on the door. Even Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang usually just greeted them directly through the wall.
It's been a while since I heard anyone knocking on the door.
Zhang Yang walked to the door and even wanted someone to knock a few more times to listen. Inexplicably, he felt... the voice was so kind.
"Is anyone here?"
Hearing the impatient words from the other party, he reached out and opened the door.
The door opened, and Zhang Yang came face to face with the person outside. The face looked familiar inexplicably, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Zhang Yang looked at it for a while.
"What are you looking at?"
The other party said in a dark voice.
Zhang Yang slapped his forehead and then remembered that this was not the guy who gave him two sheep. He said with some surprise: "Old black face!"
Li Shimin's old face darkened, what kind of name is this.
Li Yue was startled when she saw the person outside the door.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang both knelt on the ground.
"Why did you come to my house? How is your business? Are you still wholesale mutton?"
They asked three questions in a row, and Li Shimin didn't know which one to answer first?
Even Li Yue was surprised that her husband seemed to know his father.
Zhang Yang asked curiously.
Just as he was talking, Zhang Yang saw another group of officers and soldiers behind him.
There is also a man holding a yellow silk and wearing a strange official hat and bowing.
Li Shimin walked into the courtyard and looked at Li Yue.
Li Yue bowed and saluted: "Father."
Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang said simultaneously: "Your Majesty!"
Father...
His Majesty……
"What father, what majesty?" Zhang Yang was a little confused by the scene in front of him.
Li Shimin glanced at the house, and finally his eyes fell on Li Yue and asked: "If you didn't come to attend the New Year's Eve banquet yesterday, I came to see you."
"etc!"
Zhang Yang walked up to Li Shimin, took Li Yue's hand and protected her behind him.
She was a little scared, but being held by Zhang Yang's hand, Li Yue felt much more at ease, "Father is worried, everything is fine with my daughter."
Li Shimin smelled the aroma of porridge and said, "I haven't eaten yet since I left the palace."
Walking straight to the stove, Li Shimin served himself a bowl of porridge and drank it very politely.
This old black guy really doesn't regard himself as an outsider at all.
Just sit down and eat as if you were at home.
Holding Li Yue's hand, Zhang Yang was wary. If things went wrong, he would take Old Black Face as a hostage and risk losing his life.
Looking at Li Shimin, Zhang Yang said: "Old black face, what do you mean? You come to my house and don't say anything, just eat my food?"
Li Yue wanted to explain something, but didn't know where to start.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang were still kneeling on the ground.
Li Shimin said to the eunuch standing outside the door: "Read it."
"Here!" the little eunuch opened the yellow silk and said, "Princess Runan, Shushen and gentle, submissive and wise at home, virtuous and virtuous. Now in January of the fourth year of Zhenguan, she has become an adult and is a concubine. She has been granted food to two hundred households in the city. , enfeoffed Shangshan Village on the east side of Lishan Mountain, and granted a hundred acres of land..."
The young eunuch took out another memorial and said, "The prince consort Zhang Yang, a man of erudition and talent, has accompanied the prince as a scholar and entered the imperial family to remember..."
After listening to the eunuch talking a lot, Zhang Yang was stunned and didn't understand what was said.
Even if the person in front of me is Li Shimin, are all the current emperors so thick-skinned?
Will he pay after eating? The emperor should not default on his debts.
