Datang Longya

Chapter 996
Now, as long as he is a veteran of Zhenguan, he usually rents a yard in Tianxia Manor to live in after retirement, and spends his days leisurely with his retired partners.As for the reason for renting, it was because Leng Feng didn't want this place to completely lose the farmers and become a gathering place for honorable lords.

Courts, swimming pools, gardens, martial arts arenas
All kinds of buildings were built, and these retired veterans had more things to do.

Du Ruhui was dying of illness. Everyone was getting ready to attend the funeral. Who would have thought that the old man would survive again, and it seemed that he could live for a while.

Life, old age and death are the most sad things. If a person hides in an old house and waits to die alone, it can definitely be called bitterness, but having someone with him can make people feel much better.

The first thing Du Ruhui did when he came back to life was to hold a banquet for the guests. A group of old men with white beards gathered together, no one shy away from the word "death", even in front of the Supreme Emperor, no one concealed it.

With a group of companions who "go to death" together, death is not so terrible.

I don't know when it started, when someone reported a funeral, what everyone sent out was no longer a funeral invitation, but a big red wedding invitation.

The life in Tianxia Manor is very peaceful, but it is also very lively. No matter which one you pursue, you will always be satisfied.

However, this kind of life was finally broken one day.

At the outermost edge of the village, someone circled a courtyard, and a "Zhao Guogong's other courtyard" was built in this way.

It is indeed time for Changsun Wuji to retire. The Ministry of Household Affairs now controls the finances of the imperial court, which can be regarded as grasping the weakness of all departments. If the Changsun family can occupy this position, the prosperity for two to three hundred years can still be expected.Nowadays, most of the people in the court are newcomers, it's really strange that he, an old man with a handsome head, is mixed among a group of young people.

Therefore, he chose to retire. The position of Minister of the Household Department is the same no matter whether he holds it or Changsun Chong holds it.The eldest Sun Chong, who has excellent grades in the Academy of Arts, never miscalculates numbers, and is more capable than his father.Of course, Changsun Wuji didn't know that Changsun Chong's caution in calculations was drawn out by Leng Feng one ruler after another.

When you retire, you have to think about your life after retirement, so Changsun Wuji noticed Tianxia Manor.

After Zhenguan retired, almost all of them gathered here except those who wanted to go back to their ancestral graves. They lived comfortably, so he also rented a piece of land and wanted to live here.

He also suffers from asthma, and the soot-filled Chang'an in winter is torture for him, so it's better to avoid this place, and drink and have fun with old friends in spare time.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

On the first day of living in Tianxia Manor, Changsun Wuji waited at home all day, but no one came to visit.

This is weird!
With doubts, Changsun Wuji stopped Fang Xuanling early in the morning the next day.His mansion was built next door to Fang Xuanling, but as the first group of people to move in, Fang Xuanling's house was not rented, but the private property of the Fang family.

"Brother Xuanling's complexion has improved day by day since he retired. Congratulations!"

Fang Xuanling, who was stopped, stopped, stroked his beard and said, "Auxiliary machine, since you are also retired, you need to find something to do. People, only when you find something you are interested in can you feel the beauty of life. Just like the old man, I like archeology, looking for historical relics from ancient relics, it’s a lot of fun! Today Xianyang sent another batch of cultural relics, which seem to be ancient relics from the Qin Dynasty, so I’m going to study it.”

After speaking, Fang Xuanling left and went to Du Ruhui's yard.

The relationship between the two old guys was very good before retirement, and even better after retirement. They are about to wear a pair of pants.Every morning Fang Xuanling would go to Du Ruhui's house to have breakfast. After breakfast, the two of them would walk out of Tianxia Manor together. Only after going out would they board the carriage and rush to the Academy of Archeology.

Seeing Fang Xuanling leaving in a happy mood, Changsun Wuji thought about it, but shook his head.He was not interested in the so-called archeology, let alone the Fang family and the Du family had to invest a lot of money every year in order to collect antiquities.

Since we can't get together with Fang Xuanling, why don't we go to the palace to have a look.He hasn't seen his sister for a long time since it was released, and he really misses her.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was told by the guards that the empress dowager left the palace early in the morning and went out.

Looking at the closed palace gate, Changsun Wuji was in great pain, why did he go out, it was because his sister didn't want to see him!

As for the reason for not wanting to meet, it was naturally because of Li Zhi.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt even more bitter.He did support Li Zhi, and he did have the idea of ​​helping Li Zhi to rise to power, but he never thought of rebelling.

The relationship between Li Chengqian and his master is as close as father and son. For the sake of master, even his own uncle can turn against him. Under him, it is difficult for the eldest grandson's family to maintain wealth. The judgment is correct.

Compared with Li Chengqian, Li Zhi is much easier to get along with.At first, he just wanted to support Li Zhi to take the throne, replace Li Chengqian as the crown prince, and eventually become emperor.Whether Li Chengqian is the emperor or Li Zhi is the emperor, in Changsun Wuji's view, there is no difference.They are all nephews, no matter who gets the position, it will not hurt his relationship with his sister.

It's just that he underestimated the ability of Zhang Jianzhi and others to bewitch. Li Zhi was fooled by them so much that he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.Changsun Wuji didn't want the Changsun family to be led into the abyss by this idiot, so he had to preemptively take control of Prince Jin's Mansion and lead people to Jiucheng Palace.

He also doesn't want to see father and son killing each other!

Leaving the palace, not far away is the Martial Arts Field, where several veterans practice in the morning.Nowadays, exercise has become an indispensable means of health preservation for several veterans in their spare time. Even Li Jing, who is in a wheelchair, can also shoot arrows while sitting.When my legs and feet are more comfortable, I will also get up and walk around the playground twice.

The meeting was just a few words of pleasantries, and Cheng Yaojin suggested that everyone go fishing together, and several veterans left together.

From the beginning to the end, no one invited Changsun Wuji.

Looking at the empty martial arts arena, Changsun Wuji found sadly that he might have lost his so-called friends.

After wandering around the street doing nothing, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to go home.

Naturally, Changsun Wuji's actions couldn't be hidden from Leng Feng.

In the attic of Xiaoyao Wangfu, Leng Feng put down his binoculars and said to Leng Rui: "You see, Changsun Wuji is not short of money or status, but he got mixed up in the stinky street because he has no human touch. Smart people in this world There are many people, but few stupid people. But, there are some things, it’s better to be stupid. Treat people, and be stupid once in a while, and you can get trust.”
