Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Li Lijun's timely return made Nanny Cui, Mrs. Shao, Qiuxiang, Shi Qing and others greatly relieved, and the tense strings in their minds instantly relaxed.

While Shi Qing was waiting for Li Lijun to wash and wash, Qiu Xiang couldn't help running over to Er Hong, and said softly, "Sister Er Hong, it's great that you and the young lady came back in time! I was almost scared to death ..."

Erhong smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Although the little lady left for you longer than expected, didn't she leave a paper figurine for you? Even if someone comes, it's enough to deal with it. Besides, there are still Nanny Cui and Mrs. Shao are here."

Qiuxiang sighed: "My sister said it lightly! The little lady only left five little paper figures that looked like her. When Erlang Zou Wangfu sent someone to visit the little lady, I used the first little paper doll." People. When the prince sent someone to come, he used another one. Song Nanny sent by the princess stayed in Bieye for two days, so I used two small paper dolls. Later, Captain Ding was also coming to pay his respects, and I I had to use up the last little paper doll. If the little lady doesn't come back, where can I find another little paper doll when the concubine's people arrive?!"

Erhong was a little surprised: "What's going on? What is Erlang from Prince Zou's mansion sending people here? What's going on with Duizheng Ding?"

Qiuxiang helped her change her clothes, combed her hair back into the maid's double maids, and at the same time explained in a low voice what happened in the past month.

It turned out that after Li Shen, the second son of Zou Wang's family, returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, he heard that there was a drought in the Guanzhong Plain, so he rushed to his newly built Zhuangzi by the Jing River to inspect.Earlier, Li Lijun had reminded his family's Zhuangtou that the water conservancy project would be repaired during the slack season this spring, and now it just came in handy.The drought in the two villages is not serious, but they are destined to reduce production.Li Shen stared at the people in Liujiazhuang and Liuerzhuang to build water conservancy projects to alleviate the drought, so he sent someone to Bieye to deliver a letter to Li Lijun, to comfort her, and told her not to worry about Liujiazhuang, saying that everything has Shen Uncle is watching.

After Li Shen finished dealing with Zhuangzi's affairs, he was recalled to Chang'an by his parents.It is said that the old King Zou was so hot that he couldn't bear it, and he was clamoring to go to Luoyang to live.Zou Wang and his wife disagreed, fearing that something might happen to him on the way, so after repeated persuasion, he was finally allowed to go to Lishan to escape the summer heat.The heir, King Zou, still had affairs to deal with in Chang'an, so he asked his sons to escort his father out.Naturally, Li Shen had to go with him to do some business, so he couldn't make time to visit his niece, so that Qiuxiang escaped.

As for Ding Wulang, it was Nanny Song sent by Concubine Dou who learned that Li Lijun, the fourth lady, had been suffering from heatstroke for several days and was unable to travel far. With some news from the inner court, if Si Niangzi's health still does not improve, he will immediately send a letter to the prince and princess.

Therefore, within two days after Nanny Song left, Ding Wulang asked Nanny Cui to visit him, wanting to know how Si Niangzi was doing.Qiuxiang used the last little paper figurine to let him see that Si Niangzi could walk and move, but she was not in the mood to talk, but there was nothing serious about it, so she calmed him down.Otherwise, if Ding Wulang had reported to the Sui Palace early, Nanny Cui and the others would not even be able to win the buffer time of seven or eight days. How could they wait until Li Lijun finished his experience in the market space and return on his own?

Erhong reported the situation to Li Lijun, and Li Lijun was also a little thankful.Fortunately, the confidantes around her are very smart, and she also made preparations in advance, otherwise, she would have met a group of conscientious nuns under Princess Dou, the dedicated guard captain Ding Wulang, and a little girl who cared about her life. Uncle Tang, she really wants to reveal her secrets every minute!

The return of Li Lijun also means that the lives of everyone in the industry are back on track.She can pretend to be cured, go out for a walk every day, and show her face; Erhong can also pretend that she just came back from some errands, and brought back an interesting gift to the little lady, which makes her feel good; Cui and Mrs. Shao can "Chat" in front of other servants, mentioning that Saga Mountain is too far away from Chang'an, and Zhongnan Mountain is the best way to escape the summer heat, to warm up for the future new industry; Qiuxiang and Shi Qing both won because of their outstanding performance when Li Lijun was away from home. Rewards, the former is about to start learning how to make paper figurines, and the latter's riding and archery course is about to start.

Even the newcomers Zhao Yuebai and Lu Siyun have adapted to their new identities in this month's life in another industry, exercised their bodies, and learned new skills. They are going to formally introduce Qi into their bodies under the guidance of Li Lijun.

At this time, Princess Dou's emissaries, Nanny Song and Nanny Zhang, finally arrived at Saga Mountain, and came to pay their respects to the fourth lady, Li Lijun.

Seeing that Li Lijun looked normal and healthy, they all showed joyful expressions.

Nanny Song said with a smile: "I heard that the fourth lady suffered from heatstroke and hasn't improved for a few days. The old slaves are really worried. The princess is also worried about the Zhuangzi day and night. I wish I could fly to Sanyuan to visit the fourth lady immediately!"

Zhang Momo asked with concern: "Is Si Niangzi's health really healed? The princess ordered the doctor to come with the old slave. Why don't we ask the doctor to feel Si Niangzi's pulse?"

Li Lijun did not object, and was able to control her own pulse, allowing the doctor to diagnose that "Si Niangzi is in good health but a little weak and not suitable for long-distance travel".

After hearing this, the two nuns, Song and Zhang, stopped saying that Concubine Dou was going to take her step-granddaughter to Zhongnan Mountain to escape the summer heat. They just let Li Lijun rest and recuperate without worrying about family affairs.Li Lijun took the opportunity to ask about the life of his grandparents, father, and siblings in Zhongnanshan, and the nuns replied that everything was fine.

But in private, when the nuns were eating and drinking together, Nanny Song told Nanny Cui: "The King Si doesn't want to escape the summer heat at all! He's arguing all day long to go back to Chang'an. It is said that there are a lot of high-ranking officials in the middle of the court. He happened to go to Mrs. Guoguo's place to beat the side drums, and find himself a high-ranking official with a generous salary. The prince was so angry that he couldn't even eat. He came up with an idea, let the prince call him sick, and kept the successor king by his side in the name of sickness. Even if the successor king made his own claim and secretly returned to Chang'an, the sage suppressed the word 'filial piety', and he would not be able to find any good official position. .”

Nanny Zhang was also chattering nearby: "The vacant position of senior officer was originally a capable general under Li Xiang's command. The brother who asked the noble concubine to pull him down made Li Xiangzheng feel angry. If the successor king comes out at this time The one who showed his face still took away the official position through the relationship of the Yang family. Wouldn't he offend Li Xiang severely?! They are all the same clan. Even if they can't help the brother of the noble concubine, can they not help the heir king? Why bother to send it to the door? ? Such a simple truth, we old ladies can figure it out, why is the heir to the king so confused?!"

Nanny Song curled her lips: "In theory, we shouldn't talk too much. It's just that I have served the princess for so many years, and I know something about the heir king's thoughts. But today is not what it used to be, and now the palace is open on the street again. There are rewards from the palace from time to time, and the sage often invites the prince to accompany him, but the prince is old, likes to be quiet, and needs to take care of his body, so he goes less often. The princess has to enter the palace every month. Your Highnesses treat each other with courtesy. Wealth and decency are everything, so what is there to do in such a life? The successor king’s ability is not in being an official, so why bother to ask for trouble? It’s better to be a rich and idle person at home. !"

Then Nanny Song stared at Nanny Cui: "If the heir king really has leisure time, why not worry more about yourself, marry a daughter-in-law first, and give birth to a healthy and intelligent son to inherit the throne. It is serious. A Cui, do you think so?" ?”

Nanny Zhang also raised her eyes and looked over.
