Chapter 042 [Yanqiu Speech] (continued)
The scene in front of him was very embarrassed and complained to the master: "After so many years, why has A Si still not improved and made a fool of himself in front of his husband again!"
In fact, Master Bu Lian didn't know that when Li Li heard the sound from behind the door, he not only did not get angry, but instead felt warm in his heart. If he liked the Internet, he would go online.
After more than four years, the guard servant A Si was still in Bu Mansion, which shows that the Bu Mansion has not been disturbed in these years and has never encountered any changes again.
In addition, since Mr. Bu followed Li Li to Xiliang, the Bu Mansion has actually died in name only and there is nothing valuable at home. However, A Si still stayed in the Bu Mansion over the years, and this loyalty is rare, which shows that Mrs. Bu did not misjudgment the wrong person at the beginning. Although A Si likes to be lazy and is a little snobbish, he is not bad at all, at least a loyal person.
This is a good thing!
Just as Li Li was laughing thoughtfully, Mr. Bu walked to the door quickly and shouted angrily: "A Si, are you sleeping lazy again? Open the door quickly, I'm back!"
"Uh! Ah——!" As Master Bu stood outside the door and shouted, a shock and a scream of great volume came from behind the door.
The screams had not fallen yet, but when there was a loud "clang" sound, the closed door suddenly opened. As the mansion door opened, a head was poked out from the crack of the crack of the door. He saw the man stretching his head out in surprise and looking out at the first glance.
"Ah! Miss,,, it's really a lady back!" Another scream, A Sida, who poked his head out, exclaimed in surprise.
A Si's scream scared Master Bu. He couldn't help but take two steps back, and Li Li, who was standing behind her, hugged her in his arms.
"Son-in-law! Oh no, no, general!" As soon as he saw the man behind Mr. Bu Lian, A Si immediately recognized him as his lady's husband. But when he screamed in a flash, he suddenly remembered that the smiling "Son-in-law" in front of him was not an ordinary person, his identity was extraordinary, and he was the biggest official in the world. So he couldn't help but stutter, and the expression on his face was very exaggerated, as if he was a hundred times more excited than seeing Mr. Bu Lian.
"A Si. You haven't changed at all for many years. There are only your lady and the general in your eyes. Don't you know me, Guo Jia? Hahaha!" Guo Jia was amused by A Si's rich expressions that changed again and again. He immediately reached out and patted A Si's shoulder and said jokingly.
"Huh? So it's Mr. Fengxiao!" As Si looked up and then realized that he was still pulling a door with his head outside and his body behind the door. No wonder he was so hard to see someone. So he responded casually and retreated behind the door. Then he quickly opened the door, ran over quickly, leaned over and bowed to him, and saluted Li Li and Bu Lianshi in turn.
But when he arrived in front of Guo Jia, he got up from the ground and said with a smile: "Mr. Fengxiao hasn't seen you for a long time. Everything is fine lately?" Wenhua greeted her with a whim. As Si's left hand was placed on Guo Jia's right shoulder, looking very familiar, as if she didn't treat herself as an outsider.
However, what is surprising is that Guo Jia not only did not get angry, but instead smiled happily. His smile became stronger and more sincere.
This scene made Master Bu marvel at him. He looked at Guo Jia with a pair of smart big eyes, then looked at A Si who was ignorant of importance, and then looked up at Li Li, with doubts in his eyes. Li Li smiled and shook his head, indicating that Master Bu didn't care, nor did he need to remind A Si that this would be fine now.
Indeed, Bu Lianshi may not know the situation of the Bu Mansion being robbed and killed that day, because she had been with Li Li and was scared after being held hostage by the Xiahou brothers. Therefore, she had no idea about the specific situation of the Bu Mansion at that time. However, Li Li saw everything that happened in the Bu Mansion. He remembered clearly the experience of dozens of people in the Bu Mansion.
Why are A Si and Guo Jia so familiar? That's because on the night when the Bu Mansion was attacked, A Si took Guo Jia to the cellar in the wing room to hide it, and thus escaped by chance. Is he or Guo Jia's life-savior?
After the Bu Mansion suffered, A Si and Guo Jia became friends, chatting very well, like confidants and brothers who share weal and woe. Until today, A Si still thinks that Guo Jia is a servant like him; the difference is that he is the "frontyard manager" of the Bu Mansion, and Guo Jia is the "student follower" around General Li Li. His status is slightly higher than him, but he is not far apart. Even A Si still doesn't know Guo Jia's name yet, but he only knows that everyone calls him "Mr. Fengxiao", so he follows the example and calls Guo Jia that way.
In addition, after this disaster, only a dozen people from all over the Bu Mansion survived, and they did not interact with outsiders since then. After all, the owners of the Bu Mansion were not in the mansion, so there was no contact. In addition, the Bu Mansion was originally an outsider moved from other places, and the fields around the mansion were all private property under the name of the Bu Mansion, and there were no outsiders at all. Therefore, after Bu Lianshi followed Li Li to Chang'an, the servants of the Bu Mansion lived alone, farming on their own, self-sufficient, and almost isolated from the world.
Because of this, after nearly five years, A Si still didn't know that "Mr. Fengxiao" who was holding his arms around him at this moment was the "genius Guo Jia" who had already become famous all over the world. He would not know that Guo Jia was not only the right military advisor of the Western Liang Army, but also a general and a chief minister with a salary above the nine ministers and a second only to the third duke. He had been appointed as a general and a marquis four years ago.
To this day, except for a few colleagues who have made friends with him, no one who respects him as a respectful caller of "Mr. Military Advisor or Mr. Fengxiao" when he sees him.
Therefore, A Si can definitely be regarded as a strange thing. Both father and son were servants of the Bu Mansion. They had no knowledge and did not understand any great principles. They naturally would not have too many worries. They were free and easy by nature and lived a simple life. In his life, happiness was more than worries and was easily satisfied.
In Bufu Zhengtang, nothing has changed, it was still the decorations four years ago.
At noon, Li Li, Guo Jia and Li Zhi had a meal together, while Bu Lianshi, Xiao Qiao and Lu Lingqi had a meal in the backyard.
After lunch, Lu Lingqi brought a pot of cooked hot tea for Li Li and Guo Jia to enjoy.
At this time, Li Li called A Si to the front, pointed to the newly added furniture in the main hall, and asked him about some of the things he had said about "the master is not in the mansion" before.
In fact, when Li Li, Guo Jia, Bu Lianshi and others walked into Bu Mansion, they knew that someone lived here all year round. Not only did he buy a lot of furniture, but he also renovated the front and back yards of Bu Mansion and planted various flowers and plants in the yard. These things were obviously not done by A Si's servants and maids, and A Si's servants usually lived in the wing rooms on both sides and would not easily step into the main hall. However, there were obviously people living in the front yard of Bu Mansion for many years, and although there was no one living in the back yard, they were often cleaned. All rooms were spotlessly cleaned.
It goes without saying that all this was done by the "master" whom he had never met. But who is this master, whose surname is, and whose official position is?
But one thing is certain. That is, the "master" mentioned by A Si is not an outsider, nor is it a bandit and powerful man who occupied the Bu Mansion's house. Otherwise, more than a dozen servants and maids such as A Si would have been swept out of the house long ago and would definitely not allow them to stay here.
Through A Si's story, Li Li learned about some of the situations of the Bu family master.
As Li Li expected, this "master" who "occupied" the house of Bu Mansion was indeed not an outsider. Four years ago, when Li Li buried Mrs. Bu, he took Mrs. Bu Lian to leave Lujiang the next month after he left Lujiang with him, the Bu family master returned to Bu Mansion and settled down since then. He still lives in Bu Mansion today. During this period, he kept his soul for Mrs. Bu for three years and did not leave his home. He studied behind closed doors all day, but he would go to the tombstone of Mrs. Bu Bu in the back mountain to burn incense and pay tribute to him every day. He has been like this for three years, and has been uninterrupted. Until April last year, the mourning period expired. He took off his mourning clothes and often went to Shu County or Zhendian more than ten miles away to see, and occasionally went out to visit friends.
The Bu family's master who replaced Bu Lianshi to keep mourning is the nephew of Mrs. Bu Lianshi, Bu Lianshi's cousin, Bu Zhi, whose courtesy name is Zishan, is 24 years old and is about the same age as Li Li.
Back then, Bu Zhi followed Mrs. Bu to Shu County from Huaiyin to Lujiang. However, Lujiang County was not stable and there were wars at times. So Mrs. Bu wanted to move his family to Jiangdong for refuge again, so he asked his nephew Bu Zhi to travel to Jiangdong. In fact, it was just to give in to Bu Zhi to the front station first to see where the Bu family could settle down, so as to save money from moving back and forth.
Unexpectedly, not long after Bu Zhi left, Li Li and his party went to Bu Mansion to stay, which brought unrestrained disaster to Bu Mansion and their family was destroyed. When Bu Zhi learned about the Bu Mansion's disaster, he rushed back together. After he came back, Bu Mansion had been repaired and Li Li had already taken Bu Lianshi away. In fact, Li Li did not return to Xiliang at that time, but was still in Lujiang County, and was a guest at Zhou Yu Mansion in Juchao County with Lu Su (lobbyist).
It was by accident four years ago that Li Li had known that Bu Lianshi had a talented brother, but he had never met him.
As the evening approached, Li Li and Bu Lianshi were walking by the river, but they saw a carriage on the crossing bridge and heading straight for Bu Mansion. The soldiers guarding the bridge on the south bank stopped the carriage. At this time, Bu Lianshi recognized at a glance that his cousin Bu Zhi was coming out of the carriage.
In this way, four years later, Bu Zhi finally met the rumored "brother-in-law" and the powerful general Li Li.
The next morning, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Li took Bu Lianshi, Xiao Qiao, Lu Lingqi, Guo Jia, Li Zhi and Bu Qi to visit the tomb in front of the old lady Bu’s tomb in Houshan to pay tribute.
This is the purpose of his trip.
Mrs. Bu’s tomb is located on the hillside, embracing green mountains and clear waters. It was originally just a very ordinary tomb, but now it has been built into a very large tomb. From Bu Zhi, I learned that this tomb was built by Yuan Shu, Huainan, the second year after Mrs. Bu’s death, at the end of the Sili War.
Standing in front of Mrs. Bu's tombstone again, Li Li leaned over and stroked the inscription carved on the tombstone, and couldn't help feeling sad. An uncontrollable sadness surged into his heart. Bu Lianshi, who was kneeling in front of the tombstone, couldn't help feeling in his heart. He was so heartbroken that he burst into tears and cried endlessly, so that Xiao Qiao and Lu Lingqi stepped forward to hug her and shed tears with her.
This situation is really:
"What is love in the world? It is to teach you life and death to agree with each other?
The two passengers flew from all over the world, and the old wings went on several cold and heat.
Joyful, parting bitter, and even more foolish children
Why do you feel sorry for the soul-suming Chu? The mountain ghosts cry in the dark wind and rain.
God is jealous and does not believe it, and the orioles and swallows are all yellow earth.
For thousands of years, to stay for the poet, sing and drinking wildly, visiting the geese hills.”

As the Lunar New Year approaches, in the past, every twelfth lunar month, Hu Ben would go to the grave to worship his ancestors to commemorate his deceased relatives. However, after growing up and making a living, Hu Ben has not returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors for eight years. For this reason, Hu Ben is very regretful and has no peace of mind. Therefore, he uses this article to masturbate. I hope you can learn from you.)————— (To be continued. (.))
