Chapter 109 The imperial decree recalls
Only then did Li Haochen realize that when she was happy to see Lu Pinting, she said something that was inconsistent with this era. Seeing Li Juaner's desire for knowledge, it was obvious that she would not give up if she didn't explain to her what the "light bulb" was today.
In order to avoid Li Juan'er's entanglement, Li Haochen said nonsensely, "Juan'er, the meaning of this light bulb is that you send Pinting here, it means the guiding light in the darkness. I mean I am very grateful for your meaning!"
Li Juaner looked at Li Haochen with suspicion for a while. Seeing that Li Haochen's honest expression did not seem to be fake, she smiled and said, "You will know that this lady is good now, right? I am a light bulb, and I will make more light bulbs in the future, so that you can thank me very much!"
Li Haochen couldn't help but sweat secretly when he heard Li Juan'er's words. He always felt like he was confined to himself. He quickly changed the topic of discussing the light bulb and asked, "Why are you here in Henan? You can't all come out sneaking out!"
It is not unreasonable for Li Haochen to ask this question. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, general officials like Li Haochen would live in Chang'an for a long time. To put it nicely, it would be to let these families have better living conditions. To put it bluntly, it would be to let these families be hostages in Chang'an to prevent these officials who hold power from rebelling. Therefore, it is very unreasonable for Lu Pinting to leave Chang'an.
Li Juaner smiled and said, "It's not that Sister Pinting misses you, she doesn't want to eat and eat, and she is getting thinner and thinner. My father really can't stand it anymore, so I wrote a letter to guarantee that Sister Pinting will come to Henan Road to meet you. I really don't know what's good about you, an inhuman bad guy!" As he said that, there was a hint of resentment on his face that was not easy to detect.
Of course, all this did not escape Li Haochen's eyes. He also knew in his heart that Li Juaner's "unkindness" was meant to mean something, but Li Haochen could not give Li Juaner any promises now. Besides, there was also the teacher's instructions. He could only strengthen his mind and did not understand Li Juaner's words. Then he nodded and said, "If this is the case, Juaner will return to Chang'an to thank my teacher for me! Haochen will come to visit him in the future and thank his teacher!"
Li Juan'er heard that Li Haochen's words meant to ask her to return to Chang'an, and immediately wrote a look of unhappiness, and said in a cold tone, "Li Haochen, are you going to kill the donkey? I have brought Sister Pinting to you, so you want me to go back? What are you like this lady? Are you your servant?"
In fact, Li Haochen really didn't have this intention just now, but after Li Juaner said this, he didn't explain. He hoped that Li Juaner could stay, but he also knew that today, he had to take the overall situation into consideration and consider everything in all aspects. He could not do everything according to his own preferences. He simply stopped talking and let Li Juaner look at him coldly with red eyes.
Looking at the tense atmosphere between the two, Lu Pinting hurriedly said to Li Haochen, "My husband, my adoptive father said that I would let my sister Juaner stay in Henan for the New Year. After all, my sister Juaner can't catch up on going back to Chang'an to spend the New Year with her adoptive father!"
Li Haochen looked at Li Juan'er with an expressionless face, nodded and said, "Since it's your mentor who is destined, then stay!" He said that and turned around and left.
Li Haochen left with a chill. Li Juaner jumped up and scolded Li Haochen for being ungrateful. She cursed herself and squatted down and hugged her legs and started crying. After persuaded Lu Pinting beside her, she persuaded her for a long time before she stopped crying.
Li Haochen never expected that after only half a day, he was retribution. It was night that Li Haochen thought that the divorce was better than the newlyweds, so he went to the room where Lu Pinting lived, but was turned away.
Lu Pinting said that he wanted to accompany Juan'er's sister, but Li Juan'er said that he was shameless in the boudoir at night, which made Li Haochen look helpless and returned to his room angrily.
Li Haochen actually knew that it must be Li Juan'er who stumped him and pestered Lu Pinting and prevented her from being with him. He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that this woman is really a grudge and cannot be offended. What just happened during the day is a retribution for herself at night. It's really "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they are not grandchildren, and if they are far away, they are resentful." The ancients really did not deceive me.
Li Haochen complained, but he didn't do anything to Li Juan'er. He felt that he was sorry for Li Juan'er in his heart. Thinking of his last life, he didn't even have a girlfriend, and he thought that he lived a very frustrated life. In this reborn life, he married Lu Pinting, a descendant of Wen Hou, who was as beautiful as a flower, and also had a deep affection for him. But why did he still feel frustrated? He couldn't help but sigh that too many women may not be a blessing for all people!
That night, Li Haochen tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. The next day was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Tianqi in the Tang Dynasty. Tonight was New Year's Eve. There was a lot of laughter and joy in Li Haochen's mansion. Only Li Haochen, who was not asleep the night before, looked a little listless. Li Haochen did feel physically and mentally exhausted now, but he had to force himself to arrange everything, because he would have a banquet for all the civil and military officials in Henan tonight, and no mistakes could be made.
Just as everything was in full swing, an uninvited guest came to Li Haochen's mansion - the emperor's eunuch. He held the imperial edict in his hand and held the rituals. He raised his head and walked into Li Haochen's mansion. When he entered the yard, he shouted loudly with his unique sharp voice, "The imperial edict, Li Haochen, the governor of the Henan Road of Lecheng Houhe, received the imperial edict!"
Li Haochen received the notice from the guards and did not dare to be negligent. He thought in his heart that something might happen to the court at this time, right? Thinking of this, Li Haochen quickly walked to the front yard and led the whole mansion to worship, "Mr. Chen Lecheng Hou, Henan Road Military Envoy Li Haochen, accept the order!"
The eunuch who sent the order was extremely arrogant and did not even look at Li Haochen. Then he opened the imperial edict of yellow silk and shouted loudly with his unique sharp voice, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered Lecheng to take charge of the Henan Road for me, provide relief to the victims, investigate and deal with illegal people, and return to peace in Henan Road. I am very relieved! Today, the northwestern Turks are ready to move, and are afraid that they will plunder our Tang Dynasty again. I specially summoned my beloved to Chang'an to discuss strategies for preventing retreat to the enemy with me. After receiving the order, I can hand over things in Henan Road and return to Beijing quickly to calm my heart! I admire this!"
Li Haochen said in a secret surprise, "This Li Shimin did not move, and the Turks started to have disputes again. It seems that the Tang Empire is really in a bad fate!" Thinking of this in his heart, he did not stop at all. He quickly shouted long live and took the imperial edict of yellow silk from the eunuch.
