0269 Move to a new home
Li Zhen led the inner guards to return to Luoyang City at dusk. Outside the Houzai Gate, everyone disbanded and went home. This was also the happiest thing for Li Zhen to go east. In an agitation, no one died, only two brothers were slightly injured, and brought the brothers back intact, which was enough to explain to their family.
After entering the city, Li Zhen first sent Di Yan back to the mansion. Then he and Jiuzhi returned to the inner and outer offices. Since Jiuzhi's house had been sold, he and Zhang Li temporarily lived in the inner and outer offices of the inner and outer offices. There were many empty houses there, not only Jiuzhi and Zhang Li, but also many inner guard warriors also lived in it, which was also considered the inner guard's dormitory.
Zhang Li already knew that they had come back, so he bought a lot of wine and food to welcome them. Yao Xi was there too. Everyone met and was particularly intimate. Seeing that Zhang Li had taken the cloth on his arm, Li Zhen asked with a smile: "Have your injury healed?"
Zhang Qin shook his arm and smiled, "Yao Xi said it was not OK, but I think it's okay."
Yao Xi glared at him fiercely, "I am the imperial physician, don't I know yet? If you don't want arms, just do whatever you want."
He said to Li Zhen again: "He can only deal with his daily life for the time being, eating, washing his face, etc., but he cannot carry heavy objects, otherwise the small bones that have just grown will break again."
After saying that, he sternly said to Zhang Li: "Did you hear what I said?"
Li Zhen laughed, "Do you dare not listen to Doctor Yao's words?"
Jiuzhi stepped forward and circled around Yao Xi in surprise, scratched his head and said, "It's such a strange thing. I haven't seen you for more than a month. I have a little aura when I speak in detail, which makes me look at you with admiration."
He touched Yao Xi with his arm and said teasingly, "Did you get the one whom you were treating the female emperor?"
Yao Xi's face was flushed and turned around and knocked on Jiuzhi hard, "You fat man, you dare to talk nonsense anymore. Let me take medicine for you to drink, so that you will never be able to become a kiss for the rest of your life."
Everyone saw Xiaoxi being angry and embarrassed, and suddenly burst into laughter and walked into the room. The wine and food in the room were already arranged, quite rich. Zhang Li smiled and said, "I saw that some brothers came back, and I knew you were all here, so I asked the wine shop to send some wine and food, and everyone should sit down."
Li Zhen sat down in the main seat, and everyone sat on both sides, filling their own wine. Li Zhen raised his glass and smiled, "I've come back for our triumphant success and drink this glass."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all. Yao Xi drank on his face. After drinking a glass of wine, his face turned red and even his neck turned red. He rushed to pour a glass of wine for Li Zhen and smiled: "Brother Zhen, I heard from the master that the Queen praised you for your trip to Yangzhou and said that she would give you a lot of rewards. I congratulate Brother Zhen first."
Li Zhen had already sent someone back to Luoyang and sent some reports and some evidence, but he did not send the affidavit and letter. He knew that there might be two consequences. Either Wu Zetian was extremely unhappy, or she would breathe a sigh of relief. This was also what Gao Yanfu told him before leaving. In fact, Wu Zetian was very conflicted and might not really want to destroy the Xingtang Association.
Yao Xi's words immediately made a big rock fall in Li Zhen's heart. He was full of gratitude for Gao Yanfu. If it weren't for his suggestion, he would have been very sad. He was also happy and raised his glass to Yao Xi and smiled: "Thank you, Doctor Yao for bringing me good news. I can finally have a safe sleep tonight. Come and I'll give you a cup."
Yao Xi immediately said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhen, you are too polite."
Jiuzhi was next to him and said in a strange voice: "Xiaoxi, you seem to have a beard. Are you like fish in the palace?"
Only then did Li Zhen realize that Yao Xi did have two small beards, and his body became much stronger and not as thin as before. Li Zhen thought that this should be because he was beginning to become an adult. Li Zhen suddenly moved his heart. Is there a woman around Xiaoxi?
Yao Xi was so angry that his chest was undulating. He kicked Jiu Zhi hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Is it good to close your stinky mouth? This is the most taboo thing to be an imperial doctor. Otherwise, I don't know how to die. You really want to taste it. I will take you to the palace for treatment tomorrow. I see how you come out alive."
Jiuzhi stuck out his tongue and smiled, "After all, I have been on duty in the palace for a few days. How can I really go to the palace to seek death? Fatty, I haven't gotten married yet?"
Everyone laughed and stopped talking about this. Yao Xi also let go of her heart. In fact, Li Zhen’s guess was not wrong. He did have a woman around him, the niece of his master Chen Munan, five years older than him, a young widow, who temporarily lived in Shen Munan’s home. As a result, he fell in love with Yao Xi for a long time, and both of them fell in love.
Today, Yao Xi came to Zhang Li to talk about this matter with him and asked him to help him make an idea. Unexpectedly, Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi happened to be back.
"Brother Zhen, I want to buy a house in Luoyang"
Yao Xi blushed and whispered to Li Zhen: "I received a letter from my master's aunt two days ago. She was very worried about me and wanted to come to Luoyang to see me. I have to find a place for her to live in. I'd better buy a house after thinking about it. Can you do it and I'll take a look at it?"
Li Zhen knew that Yao Xi had saved a lot of money, but he might not have bought a house to find a place for his master. The old Taoist nun is the senior sister of Mrs. Gongsun, so how could he not have a place to live? Yao Xi was just an excuse, but Li Zhen didn't want to say it out loud, so he smiled and said, "The old fat man is also buying a house. He has a wide path. I'll ask him to think of a way for you."
Jiuzhi's ears stood aside, and he immediately smiled and said, "Do you want to buy a house? I've said that I've sold you the house before and can make more money. Just kidding, I'm buying a house too. Brother Fat, I'll help you see it."
Yao Xi curled his lips and refused to comment. He really knew Jiuzhi. He spoke too quickly and could not keep any secrets. He was not like Zhang Li keeping his mouth shut, nor did he know the right way like Li Zhen. If this fat man knew his privacy, the entire guard circle would spread, so he didn't want to ask Jiuzhi to buy a house.
"Forget it, I'll go and see it myself. I won't bother you anymore."
After leaving the inner and outer guards, it was already dark. Jiuzhi was going to find A Ling, so he went to Fushanfang with Li Zhen. Li Zhen glanced at Jiuzhi's horse with a big bag hanging on it. He knew that it was Li Yuanjia's golden armor. This kid wanted to show it to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Li Zhen smiled and said, "If you want to sell your armor, it is best to go to the Sogdians. They can buy goods and buy them at a good price. Don't ask someone to sell them randomly, and you will suffer a big loss.
Jiu Zhi had his own plans. He made great contributions in Yangzhou this time and had already received a reward of 500 steads from the Yangzhou government and Li Zhen. It is said that the court and the female emperor would also give him a heavy reward, and there were no 1,000 steads or 800 steads.
With his original savings, it is enough to buy a house and start a family. It is a bit unnecessary to sell this armor, especially the gem on the helmet. He secretly found a jewelry shop in Yangzhou to identify it. It turned out to be diamond, worth a huge amount of millions, and it would be a pity to sell it.
"Old Li, to be honest, I don't want to sell this armor very much. I want to stay with the golden dagger as a family heirloom. My son passed it to my grandson, and my grandson passed it to my great-grandson. It has been passed down from generation to generation. In a few hundred years, my descendants will say, look at this golden armor that was left by my ancestors. Think about it, how exciting that scene is."
Speaking of the emotional part, Jiuzhi couldn't help but wipe his eyes, raised his head and sighed: "My biggest wish in my life is to marry a wife I feel sorry for, then bring my parents, and support them until my old age. I won't want my father's shop, so I will leave it all for my brother. I don't believe it, and I can't make a fortune by myself?
Li Zhen was also quite moved. He patted Jiu Zhi's generous shoulder, "You are a fat man and have a fat fortune. Tell A Ling's parents, just say what I said, this time you have made meritorious service in Yangzhou, at least you have to be promoted to lieutenant. If the Ministry of War does not approve it, I will go to the female emperor to judge you."
Jiuzhi grinned and said, "With your words, I will be the guest of A Ling's family tonight."
After breaking up with the door of Jiuzhifang, Li Zhen urged the horse to return to his home. He knocked on the door for a long time before a servant opened the door. Seeing that it was Li Zhen, he was shocked, "It turns out that the young master is back, but the villain didn't hear it."
Seeing that there was no light in the room and it was pitch black, Li Zhen frowned and asked, "Have my eldest sister not returned to Luoyang yet?"
"Mrs. I came back a few days ago, but she doesn't live here anymore. She just moved a few days ago, and there are only the villain here to see the house."
Moving? Li Zhen was stunned and asked anxiously: "Where did you move?"
"It's right next to the martial arts hall at the entrance of the yard, very close to it."
"Next to the martial arts hall at the entrance of the yard?"
Li Zhen read it twice and suddenly realized that it wasn’t his house? The eldest sister has moved in the house given to him by Shangguan Wan'er?
Li Zhen was secretly funny, and quickly turned his horse's head and ran towards the gate of the yard. He soon ran to the gate of the mansion. He saw that the house had been repaired. Two lanterns were hung under the eaves of the mansion's door, with a plaque on it, which read: Viscount Huang's Mansion, five big characters.
Li Zhen felt amused and laughed. He was indeed named the Viscount of Dunhuang County, but this is the capital of the gods, Luoyang, and there are kings, princes, generals and ministers everywhere. What is his Viscount? Isn’t it laughable?
He led his horse to the door and knocked heavily. After a moment, the door opened and the butler was Uncle Lin standing inside the door. When he saw that it was Li Zhen, he was surprised and said, "Young Master is back, please come in quickly."
He quickly took the reins of the horse and let Li Zhen into the mansion. However, his face was a little embarrassed and he whispered: "Young Master, it's the lady who wants to move in, but it has nothing to do with me."
"It's okay" Li Zhen smiled and waved his hand, "This is actually what I mean."
Li Zhen walked into the Intermediate Courtyard. When Li Quan heard the news, he hurriedly ran out with his child in his arms and complained: "Why don't you leave me a note when you go to Yangzhou? I asked around and finally asked Zhang Li, I found out that you have gone to Yangzhou."
"I left in a hurry and thought my sister wouldn't come back for a while, so I didn't leave any more."
Li Zhen said as he took Xiu'er from his eldest sister and pinched her little face, "Little guy, how long has it been since I saw my uncle?"
Xiu'er was a little scared of Li Zhen, so she started crying and reached out to ask her mother to hug her. Li Quan took the child over, looked at the house and smiled and said, "Your house is good, it is spacious and has many trees. I like it very much. You won't drive me away, right?"
"What are the words of eldest sister? If the eldest sister likes it, I will give you this house."
"Ye is really an official, and his tone is different."
Li Quan joked, she was happy, and took Li Zhen into the lobby, and asked the maid to serve the food. Li Zhen had already stopped him, "Sister, I've eaten, don't worry about me."
"Since I've eaten it, I won't care. Sit down quickly."
Li Zhen sat down and asked with a smile: "Sister, how are your brother-in-law?"
