Chapter 242 At that time, the Tanabata laughed at the morning bull

"It's already a curfew. Sir, stay in the palace tonight!"

Li Chengqian asked earnestly, Su Youdao nodded and put on the "lift" again.

Su Youdao was a martial artist in Yongzhou.

The Crown Prince Li Chengqian is about to welcome the eldest daughter of Su Jian, the secretary of the dynasty, and is his cousin. In other words, Su Youdao is the cousin of the prince's father-in-law Su Jian.

The Su family was also a family of officials for generations. Su Ya's great-grandfather was the Minister of the Duzhi of the Western Wei Dynasty. His grandfather Su Wei was a famous minister of the Sui Dynasty. His minister Zuo Pushe was once named Duke of Pi. His father Su Kui was a chief official of the Sui Dynasty. He was appointed as the Minister of the Emperor of the Republic of China. He was the Secretary of the Tang Dynasty.

However, at that time, especially civil officials, were originally controlled by the high-ranking surnames, and almost no ordinary people jumped into the Longmen. The ministers in the court randomly pulled out one and counted it up. They had a brilliant history. Except for the seven sects and five surnames, there was nothing to brag about in other officials' families.

Especially Su Youdao, who was not the eldest son of the Su family, but has declined after several generations. He is talented and knowledgeable, and is the most outstanding talent in the Su family today, but it is not easy to become an official.

Going to the imperial examination? At this time, the imperial examination was just in its infancy. Even if the children of ordinary families were in high school, they were just holding some idle positions, dispersed positions or low-level bureaucrats, and there was no possibility of climbing up.

In fact, after nearly three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, all the aristocratic families still had a great influence. In the past three hundred years, more than 400 prime ministers were served as prime ministers, of which only half of them climbed through the imperial examinations. Among these half, those with high families still accounted for 70%. The remaining part had to rely on the great families, either through marriage, establish alliances, or join the disciples...

The true poor family members were able to enter the officialdom by relying on the imperial examinations and gaining popularity all the way. Perhaps it was due to the fighting and killing of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, killing all the high-ranking surnames, which made the imperial examination system truly implement in the Song Dynasty. At this time, the Wugong Su family did not have any advantage in the high-ranking surnames, and Su Youdao was not a direct descendant of the Su family, so he could not get enough resources to cultivate.

Therefore, only by assisting the prince to break free from the normal way to enter the officialdom through the dragon’s merit, he had the opportunity to be in the temple and become prime minister. Su Youdao chose a way of officialdom that was not easy, but had more chances than following the steps.

Prince Li Chengqian sent Su Youdao out of the study room, called someone over, and sent him to the guesthouse to rest.

Su Youdao's eyes flashed, and through the "li" they saw Luo Badao and Hegan Chengji who had already arrived. Su Youdao couldn't help but smile and said, "Li Yu, it's the one who was pointed out by Princess Gaoyang and mistakenly entered the prison. It turned out that he and the two of them were old acquaintances, but they didn't know that it was dusk and he was here, so what was the matter?"

When the prince heard him, he turned his eyes to Luo Badao and the others.

Luo Badao was about to find an opportunity to talk about this with the prince, and immediately said: "That's right, a fire broke out in the gouge yard in Daodefang, Chengnan, and it was completely burned. Li Yu came here because he met the headmaster of the gouge yard, and entrusted me to make a living for the people in the gouge yard."

Hegan Chengji said, "I thought that the emperor was about to build the Daming Palace and needed a large number of people. It would be better to arrange them over. I wonder what the prince intended?"

Li Chengqian looked at Su Youdao. When Su Youdao heard Li Yu's arrangement, he showed a thoughtful expression. However, his face was covered by the "lift", but others could not see it.

Su Youdao smiled slightly and said, "It's great, so those people have the way to make a living, so as not to cause trouble. For the prince, it is also a good policy."

Seeing that Su Youdao said so, Li Chengqian nodded and said, "You are doing a good job. When you turn around, you go to Yan Dajiangzao and say that it is my entrusting and ask him to arrange it!"

Luo Badao did not expect the matter to be resolved so smoothly, and couldn't help but feel happy and sighed in his heart: "If I were in the northwest, it would be a headache to take care of the many elderly, weak women and children for dinner. Now I just need to move my mouth, hey! It's better to be an official!"

***************

During dinner, Yang Siqi, the owner, did not appear as usual. This family belongs to him, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like Aunt Pan, Li Yu, and Jixiang are the owners here. Yang Siqi is just an old cow raised by this family, who is surrounded in the backyard without regrets and only knows how to work.

The problem is that no one abused him, but Yang Siqi has this personality. He studied things and ate and ate. After three meals a day, the dishes you cook for him are more complicated, such as stewing a fish and picking thorns, which makes him very upset.

But Aunt Pan didn't want to feel too wronged about the owner, so he just picked fish with less thorns. After stewing, he carefully picked the thorns and then spread the fish on the rice. However, Aunt Pan's kindness probably Mr. Yang wouldn't notice it, because he probably didn't even know what to eat for dinner. He usually kept squeezing the rice while still looking at the drawings.

For example, if you eat some fruits and fruits, you will definitely not eat them. Because you have to hold them in your hands, the juice may drip down and stain the drawings when you eat them. Otherwise, the juice will be sugary on your hands and sticky, and you have to leave to wash your hands.

So Aunt Pan used a melon with well water ice, peeled the skin and removed the flesh, cut it into pieces, inserted it with a toothpick and brought it to him. In this way, Yang Siqi ate it.

But later Aunt Pan found another problem, that is, he would eat as much as you bring to him. While looking at the drawings, he ate until his stomach was round and almost burst, and he didn't even notice it himself.

In the future, Aunt Pan has to prepare fruits and fruits for him, so she still has to pay attention to this amount. Aunt Pan often says, "This is a brainless pig."

However, Mr. Yang is not really brainless. He just didn't use his brain in these places. Not to mention the strange things he created, just a drawing he drew and painted, and he took it out, and everything he received was white silver.

But Yang Siqi is so desperate, not for the money. He doesn't care about how much money he gets. Since he had Aunt Pan, he seems to have finally thrown out this brain-squandering thing. Fortunately, he threw it all to Aunt Pan, and even threw the keys to the silver warehouse...

Aunt Pan was extremely nervous, afraid that she would not remember the accounts and would not be able to handle them clearly in the future.

It was the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the family of three reunion had a meal. Li Yu talked to his mother and joked with Jixiang tonight, which seemed particularly active. On this night, he just wanted to leave warmth and sweetness to his relatives, and was unwilling to part with them in resentment and sorrow.

Neither Pan Jiaojiao nor Jixiang noticed any accidents, but thought that he had not come back yesterday, so he was extremely kind to see his family.

At night, Pan Jiaojiao ran to the backyard, slandered her head and face, and finally forced Yang Siqi, who was so tired that she turned dizzy, to go to bed, and then returned to her room. As soon as the Pan wife returned to the house, Li Yu followed her.

Li Yu was hard to predict what good or bad tomorrow. He didn't want to tell my mother about his decision, but wanted to spend more time with his mother at this moment of uncertain future. However, as soon as he followed into the house, he was hit by my mother with a "one-yang finger".

"You stupid kid, how old are you, why are you doing after following me all day long? How close to your little wife! Stupid! It's still the Chinese Valentine's Day today, why are you so stupid! Go away if you are not enlightened!"

Li Yu was kicked out by my mother, but she could only smile. As soon as she looked up, he saw an incense table in the courtyard, with fruits and flowers on it, and auspicious hands were standing in front of the incense table, silently begging for skill from the Weaver Girl.

On the Qixi Festival, I watched the blue sky, and the cattle and the weaver girl crossed the river bridge. Every family begged for skill and looked at the autumn moon, and wore tens of thousands of red silks.

Li Yu stood in the corridor and watched quietly. The moon was as bright as frost, and the jade man under the moon.

Jixiang closed his hands, his eyes closed slightly, and he muttered something in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was praying for. After the prayer was finished, he picked up a nine-hole needle on the incense table and a red silk thread, and carefully put it under the stars and moonlight.

"cough!"

Li Yu waited for a while, coughed lightly, and slowly walked down the stone steps.

"oops!"

Jixiang was shocked by his cough and distracted. The needle tip suddenly stabbed his finger. Li Yu was very upset and quickly went forward and grabbed her finger: "How is it? Is there any stab?"

"It's okay!"

Jixiang hurriedly hid the needle and thread behind her. She had just penetrated three holes, so she didn't let the husband see her, thinking she was stupid.

"It's all my fault!"

Under the moonlight, Li Yu clearly saw a drop of red blood on his fingertips. He felt a little distressed and quickly sucked her fingers in his mouth. The saliva has the effect of disinfecting it, which is the easiest way to clean it.

Jixiang couldn't help but blush because of Li Yu's intimate behavior, and his heart felt sweet.

"How are you begging for good luck?"

Li Yu dragged two Jinduns over and sat down with Jixiang.

Jixiang said with pride: "It's just now... I've just started. Go to bed quickly. I'll beg for tricks and thread needles here."

"I'll accompany you..."

If things go wrong, then tonight will be the last reunion between the two, why don’t Li Yu cherish it?

In fact, he would not go to the tragic incident of the gouyuan. He would not stand up and no one would blame him, but he could not overcome his conscience.

He saw the desperate look when Master Kang was destructed throughout his life, and he saw the painful look when Liu Yuntao's wife and daughter were burned to death. In fact, there was no need to look at Boss Liu's painful expression, just seeing the charred ball that was hugging each other, his heart was tightly pulled.

If it weren't for his forced instigation, the other party might not have to use such extreme measures. He would not regret it, but he would have to take responsibility.

Under the emperor's grace, he could always think of escaping without any gratitude. Perhaps, so many prisoners were willing to take the initiative to return to Chang'an when the deadline came without regrets. In addition to faith and promise, there was another thing that was far away and high in their hearts, as if the emperor of the gods and emperors gave them favors, which was enough to flatter them. He only felt that death was worth it for this, but he would not.

However, in the face of the sadness and pain of Liu Yuntao, he could not stay out of the matter, otherwise he would have a lifelong conscience.

With Li Yu sitting next to him, Ji Xiang was also uneasy and restless. He tried the nine-hole needle several times but failed. Later, the light became darker and darker. She only penetrated the seven-hole hole, but she could not penetrate it again. She had to blame Li Yu for saying that he had ruined his own tricks.

Li Yu held Jixiang in his arms and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then let's work hard to make money. I'll hire more needle girls at home in the future and don't teach you how to sew your clothes yourself."

Jixiang leaned in Li Yu's arms, and with him leaning on him, his heart was extremely sturdy and down-to-earth. Looking up at the sky, the Milky Way hung long, Jixiang looked up for a while and said softly: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are like you and me, right?"

Li Yu had just picked a grape and handed it into Jixiang's mouth. After hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the brilliant starry sky.

Jixiang's eyes were leisurely, as if he had seen the meeting between the magpie bridge and cried with joy, saying quietly: "But they are not as happy as you and me. You and I can meet each other all the time, and they can only get together once a year, and the Queen Mother... is so cruel."

Li Yu remembered the old lady who kicked herself out of the door, and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "One day in the sky and one year on the ground. For the Weaver Girl, her men are really meeting her men every day. For the Cowherd, it's just a year to get together. In this way, the Weaver Girl is a wedding night every day and will never be neglected by men. The Queen Mother has good intentions and is really a great mother!"

Jixiang was only halfway through his mouthful of grapes, and he was just pounding his chest, laughing and coughing so much that he couldn't speak.

Aunt Pan sat under the lamp and was changing her robe for Yang Siqi. When she heard the laughter from the yard, she raised her ears in wonder: This child, I begged for the Chinese Valentine's Day, shouldn't he be quiet? Why did he laugh so happily?

Aunt Pan got up and wanted to see what happened. Then she thought about it and sat down again, begging, wasn’t it just for happiness? On the Chinese Valentine’s Day, it should be so happy!

However, on this Chinese Valentine's Day, Long is definitely not happy as Miss Long. At this time, she was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, her belly bulging, like a toad that has become a sperm. Although her belly is not that big at this time, maybe only the toad can become a sperm can be so beautiful.

"This god-killing person! I'll come back when I'll be here? When is this? The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at Magpie Bridge! Wait, see if I kill you to Chang'an, and I won't be able to peel your skin!"

He pointed at the sky as a girl's halberd, cursing angrily. The two maids next to him were frightened by her and changed their voices and colors: "Miss, please calm down and be careful of your fetal aura."

"His father doesn't want him anymore, so why am I afraid of moving?"
