Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 44 Sixth sister, you clearly knew this word when you were a child!

"Is this... for me?"

In the room in the backyard of Li's mansion, Fu Zihou looked at the clothes in Li Cha's hands with a look of surprise.

"This is made by Cai'er herself. I haven't dared to take it out for so many days! Zihou, go try it on and see if it fits you well!"

Changsun Nonggui said with a smile, looking at Li Cha who didn't dare to look up beside her. She didn't know when Li Cha learned how to make clothes.

"Hey, okay!"

Fu Zihou reacted and quickly raised his hand to take the white clothes from Li Cha.

Looking at Li Cha, this was the first time someone made clothes for him besides his grandmother and his mother, and Fu Zihou was a little touched.

I didn’t expect that Li Cha, a daughter of a famous family, could actually make clothes.

Fu Zihou raised the corners of his mouth and smiled in surprise.

Watching Changsun Nonggui and Li Cai walk out of the room, Fu Zihou went to the wooden rack and took off his cloth clothes.

After a while.

After putting on the clothes Li Cha made for him, Fu Zihou was pleasantly surprised to find that they were tight but not constricting, and much warmer than his own linen clothes.

Looking at Li Cai's room, there were few things, but Changsun Nonggui also had a bronze mirror. Fu Zihou went forward to look at himself and also fixed his hair.

When they walked out of the room, Fu Zihou clearly saw that when Li Cha secretly glanced at him, she was stunned for a moment.

“It’s really beautiful!”

Changsun Nonggui was amazed when he saw the huge change that took place in Fu Zihou after he put on the new silk clothes.

In the past, Fu Zihou always wore cloth clothes, so Fu Zihou's face was considered handsome. Now, wearing the clothes prepared by Caier, he instantly gives people a different feeling.

"Auntie, please go to the front yard to help prepare tea. Cai'er, you stay in the backyard with Zihou!"

Changsun Nonggui looked at Li Cha who was shyly lowering her head and said with a smile, then turned and left as Fu Zihou saluted.

"Thank you, Cai'er! This is the first time that someone other than my relatives has made clothes for Zihou!"

Fu Zihou touched his sleeves, looked at Li Cai and said.

Li Cha's pretty face was flushed. She shook her head and clenched her hands together, looking a little helpless.

Fortunately, there were many visitors to the Li Mansion today, and Changsun Nonggui had asked the maid to bring the pens and ink to the pavilion in the backyard. Therefore, Fu Zihou and Li Cai did not need to go to the attic. They could just sit under the pavilion, warming themselves by the fire and learning to read.

"I secretly heard that they were defeated again, and many people fled back to Xin County..."

"Yes! I also secretly heard that those generals who escaped back said that Qinghe County was about to be lost..."

Li Le, Li Anren, Li Anjing and Li Zhaotian came to the backyard while chatting.

Because there were many guests arriving at the Li Mansion, both the grandmother and the uncle were busy, and the children of the Li Mansion had no one to pay attention to them, so they could only chat together.

As they were talking, they saw their Sixth Sister and their future Sixth Brother-in-law sitting under the pavilion in the backyard, and they instinctively stopped talking.

Fu Zihou and Li Cai heard the discussion and turned their heads slightly, and saw Li Le and others arriving.

"It's cold! Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!"

Fu Zihou looked at Li Le and the others and spoke softly.

Li Cai also glanced at them, her expression somewhat unnatural, and her beautiful eyes clearly shy.

"Ok!"

Hearing Fu Zihou's words, Li Le, Li Anren and others who had never had much contact with Fu Zihou looked at each other. They were a little hesitant at first, but when they thought that there was not even a place to sit in the front yard, Li Le nodded first, and the other three also walked to the pavilion with Li Le.

"Why does this Sixth Brother-in-law look so good today!"

Li Zhaotian walked towards the pavilion, and when she saw her sixth brother-in-law, she couldn't help but pout.

She didn't know why, but when she saw her sixth brother-in-law in front of her, Senior Brother Dai, whom she had always thought was the most handsome, seemed no longer as handsome as before. She instinctively thought of him as handsome as before.

This sixth brother-in-law!!!

Li Zhaotian recalled the words of ridicule from his senior brothers in the front yard. She didn't understand why his sixth brother-in-law didn't mind at all, as if he didn't hear it.

They speak so harshly!

By the stove.

Li Anjing saw that his elder brother and cousin had already sat down, and even his seventh sister had chosen her seat, leaving only the empty seat next to his sixth brother-in-law. He immediately looked resentful and secretly cursed the other three for being cunning. However, just as he was about to sit down, Li Anjing looked to the side and saw his sixth brother-in-law teaching his sixth sister to read, and suddenly frowned.

"Hey, Sixth Sister, don't you know this character? When I was a child, I saw you secretly writing this in the kitchen..."

Li Anjing pointed at that one and asked in a clear voice with an innocent and romantic tone. However, as he spoke, he looked at the Sixth Sister curiously and found that the kind Sixth Sister was now blushing and staring at him, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

It was the first time that Li Anjing saw Sixth Sister like this. She was confused and aggrieved. It seemed that she had said nothing wrong. When she was young and hungry, she went to the kitchen to find food and saw Sixth Sister writing this word with a wooden stick.

"Anjing, your sixth sister... knows this word?"

When Fu Zihou heard Li Anjing's words, he immediately turned around and looked at Li Cha, whose face was flushed and who was shyly lowering her head.

Seeing Li Anjing nod, Fu Zihou looked at Li Cha again. Suddenly he thought of something, smiled and looked back at Li Anjing.

"An Jing, you were still young then. How old are you now? It's been so many years, and your Sixth Sister has forgotten about you!"

Fu Zihou said softly.

Turning around, looking at Li Cha with a red face, who wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in, Fu Zihou did not tease Li Cha.

"Anren, Anjing and the others are here now. We will learn to read later!"

Fu Zihou said softly. Listening to Li Anjing's words, he thought of the first time he met Li Cha, and Aunt Changsun asked why Li Cha went to the kitchen again. Now Fu Zihou was a little doubtful whether Li Cha could read.

But despite his suspicions, Fu Zihou did not expose the truth, wanting to save Li Cha's face in front of her younger brothers and sisters.

"Li Le, you just said that the people who escaped from Qinghe said that Qinghe County was about to be lost?"

Fu Zihou looked at Li Le and asked softly.

Among the children, Li Le is the youngest, most precocious, and also the most worried. Fu Zihou knows the reason is his father's death.

Like Li Zhaotian, he is the child of Li Shuyun, the third son of the Li family, but Li Zhaotian is a daughter and he is Li Shuyun's son.

"Yes! I heard that most of the former generals and officials of Xin County were killed by Zhang Jincheng in Qinghe County. Many people who escaped back saw that many rebels had already climbed up to the top of the city wall and fought with the defenders. Although they were repelled later, from what they saw, everyone in the main hall just now estimated that they could only hold out until tomorrow at most if there were no reinforcements!"

When Li Le heard the question, he told everything he had heard secretly without hiding anything.

After saying that, Li Le looked at the stove in front of him, and at the fire inside. His little hands couldn't help but clenched tightly. Then he felt a little disappointed, and his eyes suddenly turned red and were full of tears.

"What's wrong? Li Le?"

Fu Zihou looked at Li Le wiping tears with his hands and asked with concern.

When Li Le heard Fu Zihou's question, he raised his hand stubbornly to wipe away his tears again and again, but every time he wiped away his tears, tears would always well up in his eyes.

"If, if I were older, how great it would be! I could go to Qinghe and fight for my life! I could go and help Cui!"

Li Le cried and said hatefully, hating himself for being still young.

Hear the words.

Li Zhaotian, who was sitting nearby, suddenly stood up and ran straight to his room.

Seeing this scene, Li Anren and Li Anjing also fell silent. Both brothers knew that Li Le wanted to go to Qinghe to fight for his life and to help Cui family out of trouble. In the final analysis, it was all for revenge for his father.

The Li family does not have the ability, but in their eyes, the Cui family, who also has a noble family background, must have it.

"Li Le, remember one thing, the people least likely to help you with your father's revenge are those from the prefectures!"

Fu Zihou sighed and said to Li Le who was crying and gritting his teeth.

Li Cha, with red eyes and a sad face, Li Le, who was crying, as well as Li Anren and Li Anjing, all looked at Fu Zihou when they heard what Fu Zihou said.

"The county's reputation is different from the individual. The county's reputation is what matters most to them, and they compete with each other! The Li family is not the Cui family. If the Cui family stands up for the Li family and asks the Xie family to hand over the person, the Cui and Xie families are both county's reputations. For the sake of their reputation, the Xie family will never agree!"

Fu Zihou explained, looking at Li Le who was listening attentively and stopped crying.

"So don't think about helping Cui and trying your best to gain Cui's favor! Even if you try your best to gain Cui's favor, you won't be able to take revenge!"

Fu Zihou comforted him, looking at Li Le who had fallen silent, Li Cha whose beautiful eyes were dim, and Li Anren and Li Anjing who had disappointed faces.

Thinking of what Li Le had just said, Fu Zihou couldn't help but frown. Now the Qinghe Cui family must not be lost.

Thinking of this, Fu Zihou sighed. If others really couldn't do it, he would try it himself. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death, watching Zhang Jincheng capture Qinghe County.

"You guys stay here and warm yourself by the fire. I'll go see how Brother Cui is doing! Cai'er, you stay with them!"

After Fu Zihou finished speaking, he looked at Li Cha and smiled. Then, under the gaze of Li Cha, Li Le and others, he stood up and walked towards the side rooms and guest rooms next to the attic in the front yard.
