Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 693 Cui House

In the flower hall, Li Shan took out a horsewhip from his sleeve, and said softly: "I survived this battle, and also defeated the Turks, and drove away the barbarians. This whip was left by Jieli Khan, and I gave it to my sister today."

Cui Shiniang was a little surprised. Over the past year, Li Shan had sent many gifts, including poems and treasures, but today he gave him an ordinary horsewhip.

"If there is no sister to pray for blessings, it may be difficult to make meritorious service for brother." Li Shan said with a smile.

Cui Shiniang raised her head suddenly, and said with her head up: "Li Langjun's words are wrong. If he is not brave, the soldiers died. Why did they defeat the Turks? What does this have to do with my sister's blessing?"

"Hahaha, how can an ordinary woman say such a thing!" Li Shanchang said with a smile: "My brother was born in Lingnan, wandering in the pass, every step of the way is dangerous, and the rest of his life is bloody. Today I know that God really treats me well."

"Fortunate in this life, when we grow old together, we will be full of children and grandchildren."

Hearing "the house is full of children and grandchildren", Cui Shiniang lowered her head again, her neck was blushing.

"Although she is now included in the clan, my sister still doesn't know her brother's background." Li Shan stretched out his hand while talking.

Regarding Li Shan's life experience, the marriage certificate only had a surname, not a name. Cui Shiniang was indeed very curious. She raised her head and stared at Li Shan, but she didn't notice that this guy had touched her hand.

"Don't worry, Uncle knows all about it." Li Shan started to use it as soon as he spoke, a little cold, but smooth and greasy, like a piece of fine Hetian jade, "On the wedding night, let's talk about it with my sister."

Li Shanxin thought that he had finally fallen in love for the first time. In his previous life... the world of looking at appearances is really disappointing. In this life, he doesn't look at appearances, but at ability and character!

Hey, at this time Li Shan had completely forgotten about Zhang Zhongjian who couldn't climb up because of his ugly appearance for more than ten years.

Hearing the wedding night, she felt that Li Shan was holding her hand, and the ashamed Cui Shiniang was about to break free when a suppressed scolding came from outside.

"stop!"

Li Shan looked sideways at Cui Xin who came to disturb the situation. The old man's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes were fixed on those two hands.

Cui Shiniang tried her best to break free, but she managed to remain calm even though her cheeks were thick, and saluted, "Father is back."

Cui Xin stepped into the flower hall resentfully, staring at Li Shan with sideways eyes, thinking that he should be careful in the future, if he is not careful, his house will almost be stolen.

"Uncle let go of the yamen?" Li Shan had nothing to say, and laughed a few times, "I heard that brother Daoxuan found bad luck for the censor today, is there anything wrong?"

It's okay not to mention this, but Cui Xin is even more angry when he mentions this, "The king of Huaiyang is so domineering, His Majesty will definitely punish him severely!"

"what?"

At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who knew the news, rushed over. Hearing this, she couldn't help complaining: "Huiren has been entrusted to the Duke of Xihe County. You insist on getting Erlang of the Sun family to write a letter of impeachment!"

"Sun Fujia?" Li Shan's mouth was almost crooked, "Is nothing wrong?"

Sun Fujia is also from Qinghe, so Cui Xin should be behind it... But Sun Fujia and Li Shan are Jinshi of the same discipline, and they have a very good relationship. Now they are impeaching... No wonder Li Daoxuan is looking for trouble.

Cui Xin said a few words with an ugly face, well, Li Daoxuan punched Sun Fujia, not really, but he knocked off his official hat.

"My nephew will go to apologize tomorrow." Li Shan said cautiously, "Brother Daoxuan with you?"

Cui Xin remained silent, while Zhang nodded in agreement, "The Sun family, the Cui family and the Zhang family are all family friends, and now they are ministers in the same palace, and they can support each other."

Li Shan repeatedly said that he could indeed make friends with Sun Jiabao, who is a recognized neutral faction... A neutral faction and a fence-sitting faction are completely different concepts.

Sun Attached is now serving as Yushi Zhongcheng, and the officials of Donggong, King Qin, and King Qi have all been impeached by him.

Cui Xin sat down sullenly, "Go to the door rashly, why are you here?"

Before Li Shan could reply, Cui Xin glanced at the horsewhip in his daughter's hand and sneered twice.

Mrs. Zhang supported her daughter's shoulders and asked a few words, raised her brows, "It turned out that it was taken from Jieli Khan, but it can be passed down to future generations, which is enough to boast of merit."

Cui Xin's chest felt tight after being read by his wife's words, and he turned his head to stare at Li Shan, thinking about the boy holding his daughter's hand and getting angry, "What's the matter today!"

This is a tough question... Li Shan's face is cute, but his stomach is slandering, you Cui Xin, you don't dare to offend your wife and daughter, so you vent your anger on your son-in-law, you treat me as a door-to-door son-in-law!
"In two days, the craftsmen are going to start making furniture for the Yanshoufang house. I came to the door today to ask my sister what kind of style she likes." Li Shan said with a smile, "I heard that my sister is good at painting, why don't you draw some?"

"This is a serious matter." Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter, "It will be used by Eleven Niang in the future, so let's draw a few more pictures and make a list."

Cui Xin was blocked by the words again, his chest was tight, and he said bitterly: "You went to Pingyang Princess Mansion yesterday, and I heard that you will be given new clothes?"

This is a nitpicking question... Li Shanbian pursed his lips, "It is filled with cotton, which is used to keep out the cold weather, but the style is not very pretty, but it can be made into bedding, and it will be delivered in a few days."

Mrs. Zhang asked a few more questions curiously, looked at the sun outside, and ordered the servants to prepare meals... Cui Xin didn't want to keep food, but it's a pity that old couples and young wives can't afford to offend them.

Seeing her husband still looking resentful, Mrs. Zhang leaned over and said in a low voice: "I don't know who was waiting in the temple that day!"

The corners of Cui Xin’s mouth twitched. He was a person whom Ximei hated. To put it bluntly, he was a Yan party. He met Mrs. Zhang when he entered the temple to pray for blessings... Later, after getting engaged and before getting married, he often met Mrs. Zhang in the temple.

But at dinner, Mrs. Zhang and Cui Shiniang were in the backyard, Cui Xin and Li Shan were in the side room of the front yard, and Weng and his son-in-law had a few drinks.

Cui Xin didn't talk much, after two years he knew enough about this son-in-law, his mind was too deep, and there were too many secret things, if he was willing to say it, he would say it without asking, but he wouldn't say it... Maybe I will take myself to the pit.

It is rare for Li Shan to speak frequently, but it is less respectful and more affectionate... After all, he will be the father-in-law in the future. As for when to ask for a period and when to get married, the mother-in-law can decide.

"Cotton armor?" Cui Xin was a little surprised, "It's so soft, how do you make the armor?"

"Wet it with water, hit it with a wooden mallet, and then dry it in the sun. There are two or three layers of iron sheets sandwiched inside." Li Shan explained: "It has been tested, and it is difficult to stop a horse, but it is difficult to penetrate with a bow and crossbow."

Cui Xin nodded and said, "That's why you chose Sinongqing?"

"Father-in-law is a clear lesson."

Cui Xin thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "Pay attention to Zhao Yuankai."

Li Shan was speechless, Li Shimin, Princess Pingyang, Ling Jing, Li Keshi and Cui Xin, everyone made themselves pay attention to Zhao Yuankai, how annoying this person is!
