Searching for Tang Dynasty

A whirlpool wind blew up on the open dam ahead for no reason. It wrapped golden leaves in it, roared up and flew higher than the roof. When it flew higher than the roof, it scattered into pieces and floated down again. The whirlpool wind came and went quickly. Without the support of the wind, most of the leaves could only fall into dust. Of course, There are also many falling on Li Ze who is sitting on the roof at the moment.

Li Ze held his hands on his chin, elbows bent on his knees, and kept this posture for a long time. Even if the leaves fell on his head, shoulders, or even a sparrow flew over his head and pulled a mound of black and gray feces on his valuable blue jacket, he never let him move a penny. He just stared at the distance with a pair of big eyes slightly melancholy, but without any focus.

Li Ze is only fourteen years old this year, but he is much taller than his peers. At the age of fourteen, he has grown to about 1.7 meters. Although his face is not as beautiful as Pan An's, it is also angular. His sword eyebrows are starlit and heroic. Of course, this is also due to his good heredity and superior living conditions.

He acted as a thinker on the roof, but in the yard below, several people's eyes had been on him all the time, even if his neck was too sore to be careless. They are all tied to Li Ze. Let alone Li Ze's misfortune, it is a headache. It is also an important event for them.

"Young master, it's almost time, madam is waiting for you to have dinner!" A girl wearing an orange skirt rubbed her neck with her hands and shouted crisply. Her name is Xia He. She is the big maid in Li Ze's house. Although she is a maid, in fact, such a girl in a family's house is more comfortable and dignified than the ladies in ordinary people's houses. Among other things, this skirt with round collar, slanted placket and embroidered with gold and silver flowers is worth more than ten taels of silver. Not to mention the jasper hairpin inserted above the head, and the white jade bracelet with gold wire on the wrist, each of which is enough for a small family to chew for a year.

Xia He was a big man with a big back and a big waist behind him. He stood there with his hands folded. Compared with Xia He, he was much more frugal and simple.

His name is Tu Lichun, and he is Li Ze's bodyguard.

Li Ze on the roof stood up and opened his arms, as if to embrace something in his arms. Then he opened his mouth and looked up to Tianchang and howled

The people below are not surprised, but they don't hear it. In recent years, every time Li Ze goes to the roof and squats in this posture for a period of time, he always ends up with such a strange howling sound

At the first hearing, everyone was very frightened, thinking that the young master was in a daze. But after a while of shouting, the young master seemed to be in a good mood for a while, and everyone became accustomed to it. Later, Xia He often felt that the young master's mood was very unstable, and even encouraged Li Ze to go to the roof to see the scenery

As expected, when the howling stopped, Li Ze turned around. His face, which had been covered with frost, was full of smiles again. When he walked from the ridge to the edge of the roof, he jumped down

Tu Lichun, who had been standing there with his hands folded, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and gently dragged the area under Li Ze's armpit. Li Ze had already stood steadily on the ground. They had played such a game countless times and were already familiar with it

Xia He takes two steps forward, pulls out a towel to wipe the bird droppings on Li Ze's body, frowns and says, "Young man, go back to the room to clean it first, and change clothes to get over it."

"Hmm!" Li Ze nodded. He pulled his clothes and sniffed. "It's a bit of a smell."

Xia He can't laugh or cry, "Young Master, what are you doing?"

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders "It's just a little bit tasteful. What's the matter if you can't change it?"

"Young master, we are not a small family. We should be more particular about what we say and do, how we treat people, and how we dress." Xia He whispered

Li Ze sneered, stopped and looked at the towering green mountains in the distance? We are just caged birds. We don't know when we will be upset. If we reach out, we will be pinched to death. If we live today without tomorrow, it is better to live happily as we want, so that even if we die, we will not lose, right? "

"Don't talk nonsense, young master. You have a bright future!" Xia He's face was a little sad by Li Ze's words, but she still insisted on comforting her spirit

"Ha, a bright future?" Li Ze opened his mouth in disapproval

"The master cares about you very much. He not only sent a good hand like Brother Tu as your guard, but also invited Mr. Gongsun to teach me how to read. I heard that Mr. Gongsun is a very famous scholar! If the master doesn't care about you, how can he be so painstaking!"

"Tu Lichun is really good, but that old man Gongsun, do you think he really came to teach me how to read? Rather than he came to teach me, he came here to take refuge. This old man is deep in water, and that man is really economical. It's really easy for Tibetans to hide in a pile." Li Ze said sarcastically

Xia He looks back at Tu Lichun, but Tu Lichun walks behind them with his hands hanging down, as if he didn't hear what Li Ze said just now

"Young master, the master is your father!" Xia He advised. "No matter what, it's not good for you to say that behind your back. If it is heard by the master, he will be even more unhappy. In the past two years, the master has come here less and less."

"Better not to come, quiet." Li Ze sneered

Looking at Li Ze's appearance, Xia He sighed and said nothing but led Li Ze to the backyard

This is a huge house, which is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The back yard alone is divided into three entrances and three exits, covering an area of ten acres. The back yard is also divided into several small yards, each of which is divided into a main house, left and right wing rooms, as well as dozens of large and small houses such as pavilions and side houses, as well as large and small gardens, waterside pavilions and ponds. However, there are only two owners in such a large place, That is, Li Ze and his mother and son. There are dozens of other servants, such as doorkeepers, sweepers, gardeners, kitchen workers, sewing workers, and some rude ambassadors

Li Ze's mother, Mrs. Wang, lives in Jingxin Pavilion and Li Ze lives in Mingshuyuan. The two yards are close together and connected by an cloister. In addition to the two of them, there is a special person who has an independent yard, Gongsun Changming, who teaches Li Ze to read, and lives in Moxiang House

In addition to Li Ze, there are more than ten other people living in Mingshuyuan, including Tu Lichun and several other guards, the big maid Xia He and some other rude envoys

Xia He is smart. As soon as he enters the yard, he immediately arranges repeatedly. Several young girls quickly prepare hot water and handkerchiefs. Xia He waits on Li Ze to change his clothes. After washing again, they only go to Lady Wang of Jingxin Pavilion. As for Tu Lichun and others, they naturally send meals to Mingshuyuan from the kitchen

Go through the long cloister to the gate of Jingxin Pavilion. A big maid dressed like Xia He has been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Li Ze, she crouched down and blessed him. She whispered, "Young man, madam has been waiting in the main hall."

Li Ze nodded and strode towards the interior. Xia He explained softly behind him, "When the young master was naughty outside, he accidentally let the bird get some dirty things on his body and washed it, but it was a little late. Sister Xia Zhu, isn't your wife angry?"

"When did you see your wife angry?" Xia Zhu's voice was also low. "The young man went up to the roof again, and we all listened to him in the backyard."

"How can Sister Xia Zhu be sure that it's the childe shouting?" Xia He chuckled

"Nonsense, at home, except for the young master who dares to shout so recklessly, the servant who dares to be so impudent? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out?" Xia Zhubai glanced at Xia He

"That's right." Xia He covered his mouth and smiled. "I don't know what's wrong with you today. When I looked at the news from outside, I felt extremely bad again. You know, every time I go to the roof to shout, it will help me."

"Our childe's temper is really interesting. When others are angry, they will always vent their anger. It's better for him to shout and then solve the problem by himself."

The two big girls were whispering behind. Li Ze paused slightly and glanced back at them. They immediately lowered their eyebrows and stopped talking

Li Ze turned around, but what Xia Zhu had just said was still ringing in his mind

"When did you get angry with your wife?"

Yes, not only Xia Zhu and Xia He have never seen her, but also he has never seen his mother angry. Not only has he never been angry, he has never been happy, and even Li Ze has grown so big, he has never seen his mother smile. Mrs. Wang always has such a light expression, no matter what disaster Li Ze has caused or what small achievements he has made, It will not change her thousand year old cold expression

Entering the main hall, Li Ze saw Mrs. Wang sitting at the table

"Mother, I'm coming." Li Ze bowed

Mrs. Wang said nothing but picked up chopsticks and ate silently

Li Ze has been used to his mother's habit, and he no longer talks. He sits opposite his mother, eats himself, and the two girls stand aside, constantly distributing food for them
