Chapter 836 Family reunion
Li Yanqing had been waiting in front of the pier for a while. His father, his stepmother's family and Wang Gui's wife and children first arrived in Qiantang County yesterday. Li Yanqing didn't know that his wife had gone to Yangzhou to see Zhao Fujin. This made him feel unspeakable worry.
Of course, there will be no surprises in this marriage. After all, it is a means for the emperor to win over heroes, and it is also a political marriage in disguise. Jin does not get along well and has prejudices against each other, which will affect the future family life.
Li Yanqing's worries are not without reason, the key is Zhao Fujin's status as the concubine, whether Zhao Fujin will use the status of concubine to suppress Yunniang, Li Yanqing understands his wife very well, treats others as gentle as water, but he is very strong in his bones, if Zhao Fujin does not distinguish Clearing the situation, using the identity of the emperor concubine to suppress Yunniang will inevitably be counterattacked by Yunniang. This marriage will continue, but the bride may not necessarily be Zhao Fujin.
Just as he was thinking, he saw a thousand-stone passenger ship coming through the fog, Li Yanqing was refreshed, and finally arrived, and now he can't take care of the worries just now, he hasn't seen his wife and children for more than a year, and he is still thinking about it .
The side of the boat was full of Li Yanqing's relatives, they also saw Li Yanqing, Hu Qing'er waved and smiled: "Brother, we are here!"
Cao Yun also smiled at her husband, her beautiful eyes were full of radiance, especially gorgeous and moving. At this moment, Li Yanqing noticed a detail, Zhao Fujin and Yun Niang stood closely together, the two looked affectionate, it could be seen that they were not pretending It came out, which made Li Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.
The boatman boarded the boat, and everyone started to disembark. Li Yanqing quickly stepped forward, held his wife's slender hand, and guided her to get off the boat slowly, "Yunniang, you have worked hard this year!" Li Yanqing lowered his head said to his wife.
Hearing her husband's care, Cao Yun's heart was very warm, and she didn't care about the suffering she had suffered for more than a year, but she was more reserved and embarrassed to be too affectionate with her husband, so she just squeezed her husband's hand lightly, Yan Ran smiled and said, "There is Shi Shi behind, quickly pick her up."
Li Yanqing turned around quickly. According to the position she was standing, Zhao Fujin should be the second one to come down, but she took a step back and let Shi Shi disembark first. This subtle movement made Li Yanqing feel like a spring breeze in his heart, and he was full of enthusiasm for the future life. Confidence, how could I not like such a polite woman.
Li Yanqing took Shishi's hand and almost half-carried her off the boat. Although a wife is not as good as a concubine, but Shishi has followed him for many years and shared weal and woe. Li Yanqing has a deep affection for her.
"Husband, hurry up and pick up Fu Jin! The elder sister drank the tea she served."
Shi Shi whispered a word in Li Yanqing's ear, and a look of joy flashed in Li Yanqing's eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward and handed Zhao Fujin his hand. After leaving her, she couldn't act too raw, so Zhao Fujin handed Li Yanqing his hand shyly, and asked him to hold his hand and get off the boat.
"Li Taiwei, I don't need it, you can hold the baby!"
Zhao Jinluo waved his hands with a big grin, and hugged the two children to Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and took his son Xiao Baolang.
Not seen for more than a year, Xiao Baolang was a little strange to his father, he was so scared that he started to cry, Cao Yun hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Baolang, this is Daddy! Don't you miss Daddy at home every day?"
Xiao Baolang glanced at his father, then quickly turned his head away, and rested his head on his mother's shoulder. Li Yanqing had no choice but to touch the back of his son's head, "This brat!"
At this time, Lian was a little anxious to wait on the boat, and timidly shouted: "Daddy!"
'Huh! ' Li Yanqing was surprised that Xiao Lian knew that he was Daddy. He quickly hugged his daughter, pinched her little nose, and said with a smile, "Call Daddy again!"
"Daddy!" Xiao Lian shyly called out, Li Yanqing was overjoyed, kissed her face heavily, and hugged her in his arms, seeing that his daughter was sensible, the teacher was delighted, stepped forward and said with a smile : "I drew a picture of Daddy, and she calls Daddy to the painting every day, so she can recognize her husband."
"I see, what a smart little guy!"
At this moment, Xiao Baolang also seemed to think of something, he looked at his father's face, and suddenly stretched out his little hand to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing was overjoyed, hugged his son in his arms, and laughed loudly: "Two babies, We're home!"
The luggage was handed over to the soldiers, and everyone got into the carriage one after another. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the city.
Generally, important officials of the imperial court have two residences in important places in the capital, one is an official residence and the other is a private residence. The official residence is allocated by the imperial court. Generally, they do not need to move out if they live in it. Unless they are convicted of a crime, they can live until they die. However, their descendants cannot inherit it. Then it must be handed over.
So many important ministers will buy one or more private houses for the sake of their descendants, of course it depends on financial resources.
Right now, there is no official residence in Qiantang County, so Li Yanqing and his family can only live in their own private residence. Of course Li Yanqing has a private residence, which was prepared by his father Li Daqi last year. It is located by the West Lake and covers an area of 20 mu. Belongs to a mansion.
Generally speaking, a small house is less than 5 mu, a medium house is more than 5 mu and less than 10 mu, a large house is more than 10 mu, a luxury house is more than 20 mu, a giant house is more than 50 mu, and a palace is more than 500 mu. So in Tokyo, no matter Cai Jing, Wang Fu or the Cao family, their mansions are all controlled at 499 mu, and no one dares to reach 500 mu.
The land owned by Li Daqi in Qiantang County is second only to the government. If he wants, even a huge house of 499 mu can be affordable for his son, but Li Daqi mainly considers the influence, and the house he lives in only covers an area of Mu, so the mansion built for his son is a mansion of 20 mu.
Although the area is not large, this mansion is in the best location, only three hundred steps away from the West Lake, surrounded by wealthy and powerful families, only a hundred steps away from Fengle Building, also known as Xinfan Building, and behind the mansion is a clear road. Xiaohe has a private pier and can go directly to West Lake by boat. To a certain extent, West Lake is their private lake.
The buildings in the mansion are all newly built. The front is the general room, including the kitchen, the stable and the dormitory for the servants. However, the dormitory for the soldiers is on the opposite side, and a five-acre private house on the opposite side is also built by Li Daqi according to the standard of the military barracks, which can accommodate two hundred cavalry. Like War Horse, Li Yanqing's mansion has female guards to guard the inner house, so these soldiers don't need to live together.
The atrium occupies a small area. It is mainly the dining hall and the guest hall for receiving guests. There is the main hall and three guest halls. Li Yanqing's outer study is also here, where he receives his confidantes and some important guests.
Of course, the inner house occupies the largest area. The inner house is composed of four independent yards. A meandering river connects the four yards. Through the dark river, it flows into the river in the back house. There are green trees on both sides of the river, and pavilions and pavilions are built. , rockery pond fish, each yard has a different scenery, built according to the hostess' preferences, like Cao Yun likes a big house with many rooms, where she can store her books, so her yard is also the largest, covering an area of three acres. And Shishi likes attic waterside pavilions, very delicate buildings, playing the piano and painting for her.
Hu Qing'er also has a small courtyard of her own, which is of course fully armed and can practice flying knives and flying stones. There is also an extra courtyard. It was originally Li Yanqing's study, but now it is given to Zhao Fujin. Li Yanqing's inner study can only be obtained from There are two rooms separated from Cao Yun.
In addition to the four yards in the back house, there is also a large back garden, full of various exotic flowers and plants, deep bamboo forests, winding paths, and a two-acre pond in the middle, filled with lotuses, surrounded by weeping willows. There are several small pavilions by the water, and a two-foot-high mound in the northeast corner, like a hill, with dense trees, and an octagonal pavilion on the top of the hill.
Although 20 mu of land is not big, it is very delicately designed and conforms to everyone's living habits. After everyone entered the mansion, they immediately fell in love with it.
Seeing that Zhao Jinluo was a little hesitant, Li Yanqing slowly walked up to tease her and said, "Does Empress Ande live in Cao's Mansion, or here?"
Zhao Jinluo rolled his eyes at him, "Of course I'm with Fu Jin, so as not to save someone from climbing over the wall in the middle of the night!"
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhao Fujin blushed with shame, and quietly pinched the second sister's arm.
Li Yanqing didn't expect Zhao Jinluo to be so unrestrained and dare to say anything, and his wife Cao Yunke looked at him with a half-smile beside him!
He had to say haha, "I have some business to go to the military camp, you guys pack up first, and have tea together at noon."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and fled. Li Yanqing's embarrassment made several women laugh together, and went into the inner house happily.
