Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

But if you keep it careless, the old man will never forgive you! "Li Jing finished reprimanding with a cold face, turned around and left the back house.

The brothers of the Du family looked at each other, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty was right, and the old man was even more difficult to speak, but fortunately, there was room for him.

"Brother, I'm afraid I have to ask you to intercede with His Majesty about going to the Northeast to join the army. I'm ashamed to see His Majesty. Let's go back now and get ready to go early." Du He said.

Du Shaoqing patted his brother on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, you can join the army at ease, and your Majesty will hold you back for my brother.

Come home with me now, don't rush to start, since I want to practice martial arts when I join the army, I need to hand over the martial arts passed down from our family to you. I hope you can practice some famous tricks in three years. Even if you are a Confucian general, you must be able to Self-defense is. "

"Family martial arts? Brother, our father is an official, do you have family martial arts?" Du He asked in surprise.

"Hehe, it's been there since you and I." Du Shaoqing smiled and didn't explain much.

Chapter 2 The Returning Prince

Time flies, Tang Dynasty has entered the end of winter, and the war with Tubo did not start in winter after all, but Hou Junji has already occupied the front fortress in Tubo, and the altitude sickness of the soldiers is gradually disappearing. According to this Judging from the situation, if there are no accidents, next spring will be the end of Tubo.

However, this winter in Chang'an City was not peaceful, two major events that were praised by people happened, one was the return of Prince Li Chengqian, who had disappeared from the palace for more than half a year, and the Prince's lame leg was cured, and no one will be left behind Pointing and pointing, the queen was moved to tears.

Everyone is guessing that the prince went out to seek medical treatment, but what is even more surprising is that the prince is said to have changed when he came back this time. Even the emperor often praised him for his progress, so this incident made many people with ulterior motives People have a new fantasy.

Another big event was Princess Changle's marriage. With the help of the emperor, Du Shaoqing and his wife Princess Changle finally had a make-up wedding in Chang'an. Although not many people came, they were all close friends of Du Shaoqing. The wedding was not bad.

The most important thing is that even if Du Shaoqing settled down in Chang'an from now on, Princess Changle was secretly moved, thinking that her husband stayed in Chang'an because of herself, but she didn't know that Du Shaoqing was in order to avoid disaster, or to take revenge, and then returned to Luoxia The town is already dead, and the enemy is powerful. If you leave Chang'an City, you will die.

Because Du Shaoqing's Earl's Mansion is large and there are no maids and servants, so when he asked Li Chengqian to come back, he called the third uncle's family and several other guys from his hometown, and Du Shao was also brought out from the imperial dining room. From then on, the Du family in Luoxia Town lived in Chang'an.

Although everyone knows that Du Shaoqing is Du Ruhui's son, Du Shaoqing did not recognize his ancestors, and the ancestral tablet enshrined in his Earl's Mansion is still from the Du family in Luoxia Town. People in Chang'an have different opinions on this, but Du Shaoqing also Don't care about these.

One day the crown prince Li Chengqian came, and Du Shaoqing let him into the living room. The two sat around the stove. Stable, regained a firm foothold in the Eastern Palace?All of this is thanks to the person in front of him. At this time, Li Chengqian really admired the vision of his mother, grandson and queen.

"Why is Your Highness free to chat with me today?" Du Shaoqing asked with a smile while fiddling with the charcoal fire in the brazier.

Li Chengqian said displeased: "You and Fifth Sister are both married, but that's my own younger sister, you should call me Big Brother anyway."

Du Shaoqing looked at the prince carefully, and smiled: "Brother? It's true that you are my uncle, but you seem to be younger than me, don't you think it's awkward?"

"Your etiquette is so good. Forget it. I'm not used to calling you a brother-in-law. Let's call each other by the words. I'm good at the words. What about you?" Li Chengqian asked.

Du Shaoqing was stunned, the word?My own name is Du Shaoqing, and my two fathers died early, no one gave me the name, I shook my head and said: "No, let's call it Shaoqing."

"It's really weird. You don't even have a sign. Would you like me, my uncle, to get one for you?" Li Chengqian joked.

"Okay, I won't accompany you if you have nothing to do. I agreed today that I will take my family to Duling to visit veterans." Du Shaoqing stood up and started chasing the guests.

As soon as Li Chengqian looked anxious, he hurriedly said: "Nothing else, I'm here to visit Xian, Father is going to put some burden on me, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it, so I want you to help me, I'm You big uncle, you can't ignore it."

Du Shaoqing waved his hands again and again, "Don't say big uncle invites me, even if my father-in-law invites me, I won't go. Didn't I say that I am recovering from my injuries? I have already asked the court for a two-year vacation. We have already discussed this matter in Luoxia Town Now, selecting talents is something you must learn, and I can't help you."

"But you are the most talented person in the Tang Dynasty in my eyes. Do you want me to look far away? Wouldn't it be a waste of talent not to invite you out?" Li Chengqian asked.

"There are countless talents in the world. Didn't you see how many people are around His Majesty? Who has seen His Majesty catch one person and use it non-stop all day long?" Du Shaoqing retorted, and Li Chengqian thought it was true. It can be seen that Du Shaoqing is still unwilling to do anything. , so he stopped entanglement, but proposed to go to Duling with him to have a look, anyway, there was nothing wrong.

Du Shaoqing put on thick clothes for his daughter, put on gloves and a hat, and wrapped it in a nice little cloak, and boarded a carriage with the princess to Duling not far from Chang'an.

Of the 68 personal guards who followed Du Shaoqing to fight against Tubo, 32 died in the battle, and only 3000 survived. Du Shaoqing distributed all the [-] taels of silver in his family to the families of these [-] soldiers. It was ten times the normal situation in the army. Even so, Du Shaoqing still felt ashamed.

Because if it weren't for these 100 people who risked their lives to save him, I'm afraid his life would have been handed over to the Tubo battlefield long ago, and he wouldn't be able to wait for Wu Zhao to send the life-saving antidote.

"The eldest son is here, look, it is the eldest son!" All the veterans were arranged by Du Ruhui in a village back then, and they made their living farming. It is a good thing to live and work here away from fighting and killing. Someone saw Du Shaoqing's frame , hurriedly greeted him and shouted.

Du Shaoqing saw that a veteran whose right arm was broken at the root was about to come to help him get out of the car, so he quickly jumped down and held him first, "Old Fifth Uncle, it's very cold outside, you don't dare to see the wind with your broken arm, go back to the house quickly warm."

Tears welled up in the veteran's eyes, he held Du Shaoqing's hand tightly and said, "My lord, why are you afraid of the cold? When you come here, the fifth brother will come to greet you even if he is crawling."

"That's right, Eldest Young Master, we used to be the master's personal guards, but now we are your personal guards. It is not good to protect the young master on the battlefield, and you will be poisoned by arrows. You treat us well regardless of the previous suspicions. There is no way to repay such a great kindness." Many people gathered around and shouted.

"I can't help it, I'll come to see you today and give me something for the New Year."

Du Shaoqing greeted everyone one by one, and at the same time called a few guys to come over with another delivery carriage.

At this time, the daughter Xuanxuan poked her head out from the carriage, and looked curiously at a group of people surrounding her father. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the little girl shivered. She sneezed three times in a row, tears streaming down her face. He shouted to Du Shaoqing aggrievedly: "Daddy, it's too cold, I can't go down!"

But just after shouting, the princess in the carriage didn't allow it, and jumped out of the carriage with her daughter in her arms. Everyone looked at it, okay, the eldest son still has his family with him?

"Hurry up, don't freeze Madam and Missy, let's go, and go to Lao Wu's house, where a brazier is built."

Soon Du Shaoqing's family of three were led to the home of the one-armed veteran, and Li Chengqian followed without saying a word, wondering what if I had such a group of loyal guards?

Chapter 2 The Kang in Winter

Du Shaoqing looked at the furnishings of the broken-arm veteran's house, and nodded. Although it was not a wealthy family, it was not a family that could not survive the winter.

The veteran looked at the little girl Xuanxuan who was warming up in the arms of the princess, and said with a smile: "Why don't you let the little lady come out and play with my Sanya for a while? Children can't be roasted all the time in winter, and they can move and run as fast as they can. It’s not cold anymore, the more you move, the stronger your body will be.”

The princess heard that this concept was novel, and she looked up at Du Shaoqing, who nodded, "Okay, listen to Uncle Fifth, we are all parents who have never raised children, but we don't have this experience."

Speaking of Du Shaoqing pulling his daughter from his wife's arms, the little girl heard it, but she didn't want to go out, so she timidly said to Du Shaoqing: "Daddy, don't go out, okay? It's windy outside, will it blow me away?" run?"

The whole room was in an uproar, thinking that this child is too funny, how much wind can blow people away?

"Don't be afraid, go and play with your sister here and see how they play here in winter. Aren't you complaining all day that Sizi is ignorant and it's not fun? Now there are many children here, and you can meet a lot of friends It." Du Shaoqing encouraged.

Really?The little girl was dubious.Soon the third daughter of the broken-arm veteran's family came out. This child was about seven or eight years old, and she was sensible enough to take the initiative to pull Du Xuanxuan up.

The veteran warned: "Sanya, this is the young lady of the eldest son's family, you have to be more careful."

"No, they're all children. It's outrageous to say these things. Sanya, don't listen to your father, just treat her as a little sister and play with her." Du Shaoqing interrupted.

Xiao Xuanxuan wrapped up her clothes and went out together. There are indeed many children in the village. When Sanya greeted her, about a dozen children appeared, ranging in age from five to 12. Originally, Du Xuanxuan spent all day in the small In front of Sizi is the eldest sister, but now she has become a little girl.

Du Shaoqing looked at the veterans in thin clothes all around him, and said what he wanted to do: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I'll come and see all my uncles and brothers, and give you some food and drink for the Chinese New Year. If you have any difficulties at home, just tell me."

"Your Excellency, benevolence, our group of people have been taken care of by the master. Each family owns dozens of acres of land, and we can get by on weekdays. This is not the last time you sent so much money. How can there be any difficulties? Other villages They all envy us, and the matchmakers who say they are close are scrambling to come and marry their daughter to our village, which is great." The old soldier laughed and burst into tears.

Asking a few guys to send the wine and meat distributed to each family, Du Shaoqing started to make daily routines, and said that he would stay and have dinner together at noon. Gotta be in full swing.

Not long after, the buddy Erhu came in and said to Du Shaoqing with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Shopkeeper, I found a problem. It seems that except for the old fifth uncle, other people's homes don't even have a brazier. In this cold winter and lunar month, originally How can I live without a brazier or a stove if I have few clothes to keep me warm?"

Du Shaoqing stood up in surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Is what Erhu said the truth? Why is no one talking about such an important matter?"

"My lord misunderstood, it's not a big deal, everyone comes here every year, and nothing happened! Burning charcoal for heating is something rich people can afford, where can we use that?"

Well, it turns out that half a day is still a question of money. If it weren't for the broken arm of the veteran with a broken arm, I'm afraid he would be reluctant to burn a brazier. Only then did Du Shaoqing realize that the charcoal in the brazier was also of the worst quality.

After pacing back and forth in the room for a while, Du Shaoqing looked up at Li Chengqian who was following, and asked, "Do you know coal?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, he knew about black charcoal, but never heard of coal.
