Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Shijian City Lord's Mansion, Li Min stood in the Nuan Pavilion and looked west, with a look of longing in his eyes.

    Today is already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. Li Min should have rushed to Sixian City to spend the Spring Festival with Wen Xin, Chou Chou and the others. However, the war in Japan has just been settled, and everything is still the same.  There was such a mess that Li Min couldn't leave at all, so he had to write a letter to Wen Xin and the others, explaining that he couldn't go back. Wen Xin and the others also understood very well, especially when they replied to the letter, there was Chou Chou on it.  The little handprint made Li Min feel relieved and missed his family even more.

    The weather today is not very good. It has been gloomy since the morning. By noon, it finally started to snow heavily. It is now almost dusk and there is already a thick layer of snow on the ground, but the snow is still there.  There is no sign of stopping.

    The fire in the Nuan Pavilion was blazing, and Li Min was sitting on a couch covered with thick fur. There were a few side dishes and a pot of old wine on the small table next to him. Whenever Li Min drank all the wine in the cup, there was a  The waiter Wen'er immediately picked up the wine bottle and filled it for Li Min.  Wen'er also just arrived at Shijian City from Sixian. Because Li Min came out to fight this time, Wen'er and Hua'er didn't bring any maids with him.

    However, after Wen Xin received Li Min's letter, she knew that the war in Japan had been decided, and she was worried about the cold weather. There was no one around Li Min who knew the cold and heat to take care of her, so she asked the most considerate Wen'er to reply with the letter.  Unfortunately, Wen Xin didn't know that there was a charming Wu Meiniang beside Li Min, who would never freeze to death in this winter.

    Li Min took a sip of the old wine in the glass and felt a line of fire going straight from his throat into his stomach.  There is also a bit more heat on my body, which makes me feel particularly comfortable in this cold weather.  It's a pity that Wang An went to Hezhou in the Japanese country, so he couldn't find anyone to drink with, so he could only drink by himself here.

    The line of Japanese emperors was destroyed, the Soga clan surrendered, and the entire Japanese kingdom was completely pacified. Wang An rushed to maintain the operation of the Japanese kingdom and at the same time take over the Japanese kingdom completely.  However, due to the previous war, the Asuka area, which was the political, economic, and cultural center of Japan, was greatly damaged.  Murders, arson and other incidents occurred one after another. Li Min had a noble status and naturally could not take risks there, so Wang An took the initiative to ask for help and rushed there to restrain the army and establish a new order in the Japanese country after the war.

    The surrender of the Soga clan greatly shocked the entire Japanese nation. After all, as the most powerful clan in the country, they are the ones that others need to look up to in terms of strength and reputation.  Now he is begging for his life from His Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty, which shocked the other wealthy families of the Japanese country.  They also made wise choices and began to send people to contact the Tang army in the Feiniao area to express their determination to surrender.

    Li Min was naturally very happy about this result. Although the Ishigami clan had great hatred for the Soga clan, they did not dare to say anything after seeing that this was Li Min's intention. However, after the Soga clan surrendered,  The army was also dispatched by Su Dingfang on the front line.  For some unknown reason, the armies of the Soga clan and the Ishigami clan were next to each other, which caused constant quarrels between the two armies. Small conflicts broke out from time to time, making the relationship between the two clans even worse.

    Speaking of which, the Soga clan originally had 20,000 elites, but in order to resist the encirclement and suppression by the Emperor's group, half of the 20,000 people were killed or injured.  There are only about 10,000 people left now, and the Ishigami clan only has about 20,000 miscellaneous troops. Their combat effectiveness is extremely weak, but they have the advantage of having more people.  On the contrary, his strength is comparable to that of the Soga clan, and no one can overpower the other.  As for Li Min's grassland people, Kunlun slaves and other troops, they all stood aside and watched. Even the 15,000-strong Silla army no longer listened to the orders of the Ishigami clan.

    Thinking of the current chaotic situation of the Japanese country, Li Min had a headache. The Japanese country was different from Silla and Baekje. There were many wealthy families in the country, and each wealthy family was equivalent to a small kingdom. Although he now ostensibly expressed his feelings to Li Min,  Surrender, but no one can guarantee whether they will cause any trouble in the future. After all, these wealthy families have many unequal armies in their hands. This situation makes Li Min, who has long been accustomed to a unified dynasty, very uncomfortable. Now,  We can only hope that Wang An can solve this situation.

    , during the Chinese New Year, it¡¯s better to put these troubles aside and find something relaxing to do.  Thinking of this, Li Min shook his head, and Wen'er next to him was very considerate. Seeing Li Min's appearance, he immediately said: "Your Highness, today is twenty-nine. Although we are not together with the princess, the New Year still has to go."  Passed, how about you write a few Spring Festival couplets, and then we can tape up the study and bedroom doors together?"

    Originally, there was no such thing as Spring Festival couplets in the Tang Dynasty. During the Spring Festival, every house would hang peach charms. However, after Li Min traveled through time, he brought over the New Year's greetings of later generations. In the past two years, during the New Year's Eve in Prince Qi's Mansion, they had to hang peach charms.  Eating dumplings with Spring Festival couplets was very lively. Today Wen'er saw that Li Min was worried about something, so she proposed to post Spring Festival couplets to let him relax.

    ?However, after hearing this, Li Min pointed at Wen'er and laughed: "You stinky girl, you don't know that my handwriting is ugly, but you still want me to write couplets. If you post them on the door, won't you make people laugh?  ?¡±

    Wen'er naturally knew that Li Min's handwriting was ugly, and she also knew that the Spring Festival couplets every year were written by Princess Wen Xin herself. However, she mainly wanted to make Li Min happy, so she covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Your Highness, Princess Wenxin's handwriting is natural  It's very good, but women write with a certain amount of femininity, and during the holidays, we get rid of the old and welcome the new, blocking the bad smell at the beginning of the year. Men are yang, and His Highness is a dragon and a phoenix among people, with more yang energy in his body, so only  The words you wrote are most suitable to be posted during the Spring Festival."

    Hearing what the little girl said was clear and logical, although he knew it was to make him happy, Li Min was very happy. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, I will make an exception for Wen'er and write a few pictures today."  Character!"

    As soon as Li Min agreed, Wen'er immediately agreed happily and trotted to prepare pen and ink. In a short time, everything for writing the Spring Festival couplets was ready, and Li Min flattened the red paper on the table.  Then he picked up a large wolf brush and wrote several Spring Festival couplets with a swipe of the brush.

    To be honest, although Li Min has been in Datang for more than three years, his broken handwriting has still not improved much. This is mainly because he is too lazy and can't stand the pain of practicing calligraphy. Even when he wants to write, he usually looks for  If someone writes for you, the result can be imagined. The words he writes look like they are drunk, staggering around and making them look ugly.

    However, it doesn¡¯t matter if the calligraphy is ugly, what he wants is a bonus, and although Li Min has no literary talent, he still remembers a few Spring Festival couplets, such as the most commonly used one, "As time goes by, people live longer, and spring fills the universe with blessings." and so on.  Although it may seem vulgar, it is all about this festive spirit.

    Wen'er has long been accustomed to Li Min's ugly calligraphy. When he saw Li Min finished writing, he immediately picked up the scissors and cut it, and pulled Li Min to paste it on all the doors he could see.  At this time, Li Min's interest in celebrating the New Year was also aroused. After posting the Spring Festival couplets, he felt that it was not enough, so he asked the kitchen to prepare dumpling fillings, and he wanted to make a few dumplings himself.  When Wen'er saw that Li Min finally stopped thinking about those troublesome things, she was naturally very happy and immediately ordered her servants to prepare.

    The people in the kitchen were all the old men of Prince Qi who came with Wen'er. They knew that His Highness wanted to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, so the noodles and fillings were ready-made and delivered quickly. Li Min kneaded the dumplings with Wen'er enthusiastically.  Noodles, rolling out the dough, but although Li Min is good at cooking, he is not very good at cooking. He can't even roll out the dumpling wrappers, so in the end he had to ask Wen'er to help.

    Making dumplings may seem simple, but it is actually a technical job that not just everyone can do. Li Min has eaten countless dumplings, but has only made them by hand a few times. As a result, this time his face was covered with flour, and he couldn¡¯t make dumplings.  The dumplings that came out were all big and small and oddly shaped, and some of them were not closed yet. As soon as they were put into the pot, they would definitely turn into stuffing soup.

    Seeing Li Min's embarrassment and looking at those weird-looking dumplings, Wen'er finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. As a result, Li Min was so angry that he yelled at her to punish her by eating all the dumplings she made.  Thinking of Wen'er hearing that Li Min used the dumplings he made as punishment, she laughed even harder.

    "Hey, by the way, why didn't you see Meiniang come out today?" While Li Min and Wen'erbao were working hard, he suddenly discovered that Wu Meiniang didn't seem to be seen all day today.

    Hearing Li Min¡¯s question, Wen¡¯er hurriedly replied: ¡°Your Highness, Wu Yanren said she was feeling a little unwell, and she was more afraid of the cold, so she stayed in the room.¡±

    Wen'er had met Wu Meiniang before in Chang'an. When she came to Shijian City this time, she realized that it was Li Min who kidnapped Wu Meiniang, not the fifth prince Li You who was now rushed to Jincheng as governor.  However, Wen'er is one of the people Li Min trusts most, and Wu Meiniang will enter Prince Qi's house sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if she knows in advance. Wen'er even treats Wu Meiniang as a good person.

    Hearing that Wu Meiniang was not feeling well, Li Min then thought that when he got up this morning, Wu Meiniang said she was sleepy and it was cold, so she stayed in bed and couldn't get up.  Li Min didn't pay attention at that time. He told her to have a good rest, and then got up and went to work. Could it be that Mei Niang was really sick?

    Thinking of this, Li Min stopped making dumplings. He stood up and went to the bedroom. This is where he and Wu Meiniang lived. Because this is a Japanese country, it is not convenient to bring a maid to serve. Now Wu Meiniang only has one of her own personal maids to take care of her.

    When Li Min rushed to the bedroom, Wu Meiniang still hadn't gotten up. She was half leaning on the bed, drinking porridge with the maid serving her. However, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she didn't seem to want to eat.

    "Meiniang, are you sick? Why didn't someone inform me earlier?" Li Min saw Wu Meiniang's haggard face, and couldn't help but blame himself at the moment, and at the same time there was a hint of blame in his tone.

      "Haha, nothing is wrong with Meiniang. I just feel sleepy and have no strength. It's not uncomfortable at all. I just don't want to eat, and my husband rarely has leisure time. I don't want to disturb your rest because of this little thing!" Wu Meiniang felt that Li Min was worried.  Concerned, he showed a bright smile and said.

    "No, it's such a cold weather. You might have some disease. Wen'er, hurry up and find a doctor to take a look!" Li Min felt relieved when he saw that Mei Niang was in good spirits, but decided to find a doctor.  Take a look.
