Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight, something big happened in the DPRK
"What's wrong?" Seeing the red and swollen eyes of the lady, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then walked up to ask.
"No... nothing!" When Yi Niang saw Li Xiu coming in, she hurriedly stood up and said, but her red eyes could not deceive people. It was obvious that she had just passed by and she was crying very hard.
"Is it because of the Pei family's affairs? But if you want me to say that you can go if you want. No matter how excessive he did, the affection of his family will be cut off. He is sorry to us, but we can't have the same knowledge as him. It just so happens that I'm fine tomorrow. Let's go to the Pei family together!" Li Xiu also guessed the thoughts of the lady at this time, so he stepped forward and held her shoulder and said.
"But……"
"It's nothing, it's just going to see it, and I'm with you. This matter is decided. I'll ask Mother Yi to prepare some gifts later!" Li Xiu did not allow Mother Yi to object, and he decided very domineeringly. He was really annoyed by this matter. Mother Yi obviously wanted to go but couldn't make up her mind, so it's better for him to make a decision for her.
Seeing Li Xiu making a decision for her, the lady in the air suddenly felt her whole body relax, as if she had just taken off a big burden in an instant. She leaned gently on Li Xiu. After a while, she said softly: "Husband, am I useless? I have been worried about such a thing for a long time. I cried unscrupulously just now. I don't know what's wrong with me. I obviously hate my father very much, but I still can't let it go."
When the lady spoke at the end, tears couldn't help but flow out again, and Li Xiu sighed at this time, and reached out to touch her hair and explained softly: "Actually, this is not surprising. Women have some influence on their temperament after becoming pregnant, especially their family affection. It is normal for you to not let go of the affairs of the Pei family. And no matter what, Pei Ju was injured when she went to visit the grave. Even if she was a stranger, we should go and see it in terms of emotion and reason."
After hearing Li Xiu's explanations, the lady in the air finally felt a little better. It seemed that after she got pregnant, she had indeed become more emotional. If it was really as her husband said, it would be understandable.
Li Xiu comforted Yi Niang a few more words, and then took her to the restaurant. After dinner, Li Xiu ordered Yue Chan to prepare gifts and told him about going to Pei's mansion tomorrow. Although Yue Chan was surprised, she didn't ask much and immediately went down to prepare. Then Li Xiu helped Yi Niang return to the bedroom to rest.
"Have you been to the princess's place today? What did she say?" After sitting on the bed, the lady Yi suddenly thought about Princess Pingyang and asked with great concern.
"Don't mention it, Xiuning, like you, is also worried about her father's affairs, and has decided not to move in for the time being!" Li Xiu said and told the story of Princess Pingyang's unwillingness to live there. However, he mainly talked about Princess Pingyang's concern for Li Yuan, but did not mention that she was worried that conflicts would occur after spending time with the wardrobe.
"So that's the case, there is a certain reason for the princess' worries. After all, the Tian family is terrifying, so my husband is better careful. However, no matter where the princess lives, I will keep the yard next to her!" Yi Niang nodded nervously and said, she was really afraid of the danger that Li Xiu would happen.
"I know, but besides the princess' affairs, I have another worry now. Do you know the agricultural department office near our house?" When Li Xiu heard Yi Niang mention the word "Tianjia", he couldn't help but think of what happened just now, so he spoke again with helpless expressions.
"I know, I heard it was used to promote corn and sweet potatoes. During this period, I have been hearing Yuechan say that there is a mess there. There are many craftsmen working every day, and officials are working in it before it is built. Those people are quite diligent!" Yi Niang nodded when she heard this. She naturally knew that the Ministry of Agriculture Department is so close to her home.
"I'm unlucky, but I'm in promoting corn and sweet potatoes. Today I was arrested by Wei Zheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture. He actually persuaded His Majesty to transfer me to the Ministry of Agriculture. It is estimated that the imperial edict is coming soon." Li Xiu said with a distressed look on his face. Even if he had a name, it was still a burden for him.
"Hehe~, what do I think it is? This is something that others can't afford, but when I get to my husband, it seems to have become torture. However, my husband is indeed too idle, and having a job is not a bad thing!" The lady in the air covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this. She thought it was a good thing.
"Why am I idle? You see how busy I am, you have to teach Qi Niang and the others to study, and they are busy dealing with family affairs, and sometimes they have to go to the princess. How can I have time to care about outside affairs?" Li Xiu retorted with confidence when he heard the words of Yi Niang.
"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is very busy, but how do I remember that my husband went to catch fish for a day the day before yesterday, and another six days ago, seven days ago..." When the lady heard this, she agreed first, and then smiled again to help Li Xiu count the days of fishing. She knew that Li Xiu had nothing to do in almost half of the month.
"I... I was thinking about problems by fishing. On the surface, I looked idle, but in fact I was busy in my mind, okay?" Li Xiu was still stubbornly saying at this time.
"Is that so? I wonder what my husband is thinking about every day?" The lady in the air asked with a smile again. She felt that Li Xiu's appearance of admitting his account was actually very cute. It was only after she got married that Li Xiu, who was famous in Chang'an, not only had a talented temper, but was a guy full of shortcomings. However, the more this happened, the more people felt that Li Xiu was a flesh-and-blood person, rather than the famous Tang Dynasty scholar who had only existed in her imagination.
"I have considered a lot of questions. You may not understand even if you say it, so I won't say it anymore!" Li Xiu turned his head and refused to admit defeat.
"Haha, although I am a little girl with a slight talent, I also want to hear what profound questions my husband is thinking about?" At this time, the lady in the air showed a smile that was sure to win. She wanted to see how long Li Xiu was going to be stubborn.
"You really want to hear it?" Li Xiu suddenly blinked and asked again.
"Of course!" The lady in the clothes nodded proudly.
"Okay, actually the issues I'm considering are not particularly complicated, such as where did I come from? Where did I die? Why do I exist in this world? Is there an end to the universe? Is there a length of time? Where did the past time disappear? Where does the future time stop? Are the questions I asked at this moment or the questions you just heard?"
"Uh?" The lady in the air was stunned when she heard the series of questions above Li Xiu. She didn't expect that Li Xiu would actually ask so many questions at once. Moreover, these questions seemed strange, but when they thought about them carefully, they seemed to have endless mysteries, which made people unable to help but indulge in them.
Seeing the shocked expression of Yi Niang, Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This is a classic line from later generations, and he could say that he could die of a living person. It was too easy to fool Yi Niang like a little girl.
The lady in the clothes was stunned for a while, and finally woke up suddenly, then stared at Li Xiu with an incredible look and said, "Husband, you are not thinking about these things that Gods hold every day, right?"
"It's normal, for example, life and death, I used to think about things like life and death, but then I didn't think about it anymore." Li Xiu shrugged and said indifferently. When he first traveled through time, he did consider many things about life and death. The main reason was that he thought about how he traveled through time and why he was so tired in his previous life, but when he opened his eyes, he came to the Tang Dynasty. Will others travel to another world like him after death. This kind of similar problem often occupies his previous thoughts.
"Why didn't your husband think about it later?" Yi Niang said carefully at this time. She didn't dare to think about the questions raised by Li Xiu, nor could she understand them. This also made her suddenly feel awe of Li Xiu. No wonder others say that her husband is a talented young talent. I'm afraid this is his true side.
"It's very simple. Life and death are not something we can control. The past has passed and the future has not yet arrived. Therefore, the most important thing for people is to live in the present and cherish the present. Nothing else matters at all!" Li Xiu said at the end, a solemn expression appeared on his face. After experiencing life and death, he also had a deeper understanding of the four words of living in the present.
"Living in the present?" After hearing this, the lady in the air also chewed these four simple words carefully. After a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed expression on her face, "My husband is right. Life and death are not something we can control. For example, I cannot choose who my father is, but no matter what, he is my father now. I just need to do what I can do. As for the others, why do I think so much?"
Li Xiu didn't expect that Mother Yi would be awakened by her unintentional words. This made him look at her in surprise and then smiled with relief. Mother Yi would be able to untie this knot, so that when she went to visit Pei Ju tomorrow, there was no need to worry about any problems.
After Yi Niang fell asleep, Li Xiu returned to the guest room to rest. After getting up the next morning, Yue Chan had someone prepare a carriage and gift, but Yi Niang seemed much more calm today than yesterday. It seemed that Li Xiu's words last night had indeed worked. Yi Niang can now look at the affairs of the Pei family with a calm mind.
After breakfast, Li Xiu and Yi Niang went out and were about to get on the carriage. When they were about to leave, they suddenly saw a horse galloping. When they approached Li Xiu, they found that the person was Ma Master who had not seen for a few days. When Ma Master came here, he immediately jumped off his horse and waved at Li Xiu. Then the two of them came to a secluded place. Only then did Ma Master anxiously say, "There is a big deal in the court!" (To be continued.)
