Chapter 78 Spring swallows return, nest in the woods

Li Li married his wife and fell in love with his bride Huang Gui. The newlyweds were like a frightening fire, and it was hard to part with it.

It's like a mandarin duck crossing its neck, flying with phoenixes and phoenixes. The orioles in the room are singing and singing in the spring. Every night, the spring night is short, and before you know it, it's the coming year.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Zhao Mengniang sat by the window to dress up in front of the mirror, looking back at the bed beside her, Li Li, who had woken up, was coming back to her senses.

She recalled that she couldn't sleep all night last night, and couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen, full of expectations.

It was Lantern Festival last night, and Huang Guitui said that he was not feeling well, so Zhao Mengniang accompanied Li Li to spend the night. The two of them worked very hard this night, so Zhao Mengniang felt that maybe she would get pregnant this time.

The maid combs her hair, and Zhao Mengniang looks at herself in the mirror and thinks of her main room.

There is no doubt that she is not as good as her family, and she is not as good as her appearance or knowledge. After all, she has studied in the county and can ride horses and shoot arrows.

He even dared to deal with the enemy alone and subdue the other party. With such courage, Zhao Mengniang felt ashamed of herself and thought that she could only stand silently in the corner and was gradually forgotten by the beloved.

Li Li married a girl from the Huang family, and then burned the fire every day, and it is said that the bed sheets were changed every day.

The newcomer is so favored that Zhao Mengniang, who has become an "old person", stays alone in the empty room and feels sad.

However, Li Li did not forget her, and her main wife was fine. Therefore, for several months, she served Li Li overnight from time to time, without having to cry silently at the empty pillow.

Li Li still has her place in his heart, that's enough.

"Meng Niang..." Li Li said softly, Zhao Mengniang quickly got up and came to the bed: "Sanlang, I'm here."

"The workplace will resume tomorrow. I have to prepare today. Are you not going to work?"

"Sanlang forgot? From today on, it is the wife who is in charge of the workplace." Zhao Mengniang said, taking out a handkerchief from the warm water basin brought by the maid, gently twisting some water off, and carefully wiped Li Li's face.

"When I look, my wife should have been calling them to meet and arrange related matters now."

Li Li enjoyed the service and asked, "You have already made a report with your wife, right? Is it okay if you don't go to the meeting?"

"Okay, yesterday I have handed over the details with my wife. My wife told me that I just need to serve Saburo well and there is no need to have a meeting today."

Li Li got up, finished washing, and had breakfast with Zhao Mengniang. As he ate, he thought of Huang Gui, the beautiful figure of the beauty, the other person's blurred eyes and firm expression.

Huang Gui is his official wife and housewife, so he is the head of the family. When he was newlyweds and honeymoon, Huang Gui was full of charm and could not be separated from his good people. However, he did not forget to make an agreement with Li Li that he would start to formally manage his family after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Take over the industry and "in charge of work" in full, and you cannot stay in the room almost every day, and make trouble with Li Li in the dark.

As a housewife, Huang Gui had to take over both the housekeeping and business at Li Li's family. Among them, the housekeeping management, the affairs, and the "business" are responsible for the accounting, and the "financial power" in the field was taken over from his aunt (mother-in-law) Wu.

After a period of adaptation, Huang Gui fully assumed the responsibilities of a housewife, and Li Li did not need to worry about family affairs. However, Zhao Mengniang was still "Director Zhao" and was responsible for Li Li at work.

"You only need to be responsible for the field affairs. However, the wife is the main wife and you are the concubine. You cannot refute her face. You have to listen to what you say."

"If you have any questions, please wait for me to deal with it."

"Yes, I understand."

"Also, if you suffer grievances, don't think too much. My wife is a reasoned person, and I am also a reasoned person. If you suffer grievances for a while, don't panic. I won't really let you suffer grievances."

"Yeah." Zhao Mengniang nodded constantly. She was a concubine. My mother said that the word "女" means "establishing a daughter", which means that in front of the main room, there is no difference between the concubine and the maid standing by, so you must remember the rank of the noble and the inferior.

The wife is embarrassed by herself, so she can only endure it. She can’t help but cry secretly. What I can rely on is the favor of a good man, and the second is to give birth to a son as soon as possible.

If you have a son, you will rely on your son in the future. Otherwise, you will have no support after you get old and lose your sex.

While the two were talking, the maid came to report that the wife had returned and had something to talk to the man in detail.

Li Li told Zhao Mengniang a few words and turned to the study. After a while, Huang Gui entered and sat down with a serious look on his face.

There was only two couples in the study. Huang Gui looked at Li Li with complicated eyes. Li Li remained silent and stared at each other.

After a while, Huang Yan asked, "Why?"

"What is it referring to?" Li Li asked back.

"Ring Lock Armor."

"What's wrong with the ring lock armor?"

Li Li asked knowingly that since he dared to marry Huang Gui and let him get in touch with his secrets, he would have sufficient confidence to prevent the other party from rebelling.

"This is a prohibited thing. If the incident occurs, the clan will be punished." Huang Yan said, looking at Li Li's eyes, and his heart was in chaos.

She didn't expect that Li Li's fish hooks were so profitable, and the monthly profit was hundreds of coins just by selling fish hooks.

She didn't expect that the ring lock armor that someone secretly sold outside was actually made by Li Li's fish hook field. The income from selling ring lock armor every month was actually thousands of stalks.

The inconspicuous fish hook field is a money tree with a monthly income of thousands of trump cards. In addition, the income from fishing, fish raising, and cooperation with Peng Dongzhu, the big catfish Peng, Peng Jun, was known that Li Li did not dare to say that his wealth was as good as the country, but he could be called "a huge fortune."

However, the other party was actually making a banned object - armor. Not only that, it was also sold.

Huang Yan had heard Aye say before that someone deliberately sold ring lock armor in private, causing a bloody storm in Pengli Lake District.

Now, she knew that the culprit was her pillow.

So, is Li Li going to rebel?

Huang Yan only wanted to know the answer to this question. Li Li understood that when he saw the beauty who was inseparable from him every night, he looked at him like a criminal policeman who interrogated the extremely evil person, he smiled.

"Do you know the Northern Expedition during the Yuan and Jiaqing periods of the Liu Song and Yuan Dynasties?" Li Li asked. Huang Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Li was going to change the topic, and he was extremely disappointed.

She just wanted to know the answer, and did not intend to report to the official or use it as a threat.

But I soon came to my senses: Li Li is about to tell the reason.

When she was in the county school, she discussed the past and present with her classmates. She once heard people mention the Northern Expedition during the Liu Song and Yuan Jia years, so she nodded: "I heard of it."

Li Li asked again: "Then, do you know the ending?"

Huang Yan nodded: "I have lost several times. Not only that, I was beaten to the north bank of the river by the Northern Barbarians, and I lost a lot."

"So, how do you think, how do you use a few concise words to describe the ending? You can't use miserable, it's miserable."

Huang Yan thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, I'm afraid I can't describe it in just a few words."

"No, that's OK." Li Li finished speaking, paused, and said again: "The spring swallows return and nest in the forest."

"Spring swallows return, nest in the forest..."

Huang Gui murmured, savoring this passage: It is about the return of the spring swallows, making nests in the woods, and a lively scene.

However, Huang Yan quickly thought of something, his heart tightened, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Li Li, his face full of horror: "This... is really miserable..."

"Yes, in spring, the swallows come back, but they can only make nests in the woods. Why?" Li Li looked at Huang Yan and looked at the person beside his pillow.

Since he married Huang Gui, he would not treat the other party as a thief and would not be afraid of the other party's rebellion. Therefore, the secret of the fish hook field will be known.

"Of course, the swallows have to go home. The home was built by the nest under the eaves of the house before going south to celebrate the winter last year. However, when I came back this time, I could only build nests in the woods. Why? Because the original nest is gone."

"Why is the nest gone? It is because the houses are gone, because the villages where people live are gone, and because the villages where people live are gone, and the city is gone."

"Why is this happening? Because the enemy was burning, killing and looting in this vast area south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River. The counties and counties passed by turned into naked land. Swallows could not find their eaves and could only build nests in the woods."

Li Li's words were heard in Huang Gui's ears, as if the sound of drums was stirring, and Li Li's next words made her stunned.

"I saw that, not long after, bloody storms overwhelmed the earth, saw beacons rising, and countless lives disappeared in the chaos."

"I saw the bodies in Jiankang City pillowing together, and saw the land of the Three Wus, with white bones exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles."

"I saw that peace was gone, and the troubled times came, and the spring swallows returned and nested in the woods."

Li Li's tone of speech was a hint of sadness. When Huang Feng heard this, scenes of troubled times appeared in his mind, and he felt a chill on his back.

"You ask me why I want to make ring lock armor? Why do I want to sell ring lock armor? It's very simple. I want to live in troubled times and let my family, relatives and friends live, that's all."

"So, I need money, food, teams, and villages surrounded by high walls, in order to survive in troubled times, that's all."

"If there is no such thing, you will either die from military disasters, famine, or plague. There will be shortage of food in troubled times. If there is no food left, the whole family will still starve to death if there is no money."

"In times of trouble...this, this...is impossible?" Huang Yan was very shocked, and Li Li nodded: "Of course, may you think the world is peaceful now?"

He found a roll of paper, put it in front of Huang Gui, and expanded it: "Look, at the end of last year, a big event happened in the capital. The whole story was written on the paper, you see."

"Look at how bad the current situation has been."
