At this time, there were light footsteps of several people outside the door. Just listening to the sound, you knew that they were not martial arts practitioners. Then the two maids pushed open the pavilion door, and surrounded by several maids, Princess Changle walked in with a baby in her arms. . Behind her were Rou Lan and Li Lin. When Rou Lan accompanied the princess to carry the child, she did not forget to pull him.
Li Xian jumped up first and said with a smile, "I want to see if this child looks more like Changle or Suiyun." Of course, apart from the joy of seeing his little nephew, he also wanted to temporarily avoid it. With such an awkward atmosphere, it will take a long time to come to Japan, the big deal is to tie someone and take it away, Li Xian thought annoyed. But he soon turned his attention to the baby.
Although it is not yet one year old, this little baby is full of energy, with big curious eyes rolling around, inheriting the advantages of his parents' appearance. Although he is still young, he can see that he will grow up in the future. Handsome young man.
The more Li Xian looked at it, the more he felt that the child's eyes somehow resembled his own. He couldn't help reaching out and hugged the child. Although he already had several children, Li Xian, who never paid attention to them, was not fundamentally A real father, so holding this little baby is more difficult for him than holding a gun. Moreover, the soft and delicate baby's body also made Li Xian in a hurry, lest he would be hurt by too much strength. However, this little child seemed to be full of energy, and seemed to see Li Xian's embarrassment, giggling non-stop. Li Xian became more and more happy, and couldn't help reaching out and holding him up high. Princess Changle exclaimed: "Sixth brother, don't scare Shen'er." Who knew that the little baby was not only not afraid, but laughed happily. Bright eyes filled with excitement and curiosity. There was a warm current in Li Xian's heart. For the first time, this little baby brought a parent-child relationship that Li Xian had never experienced before.
The emperor's family was originally indifferent to family affection, plus Qin Zheng was not in harmony in the past, so Li Xian did not pay attention to his son Li Lin before, until after Qin Zheng's death, Li Xian felt guilt in his heart, and this was Li Lin. He paid attention to it, but due to the alienation in the past and the pain in Li Xian's heart, for Li Lin, Li Xian was more like a commander and teacher than a father. The boy took on his own mantle and became an excellent general. But facing this little nephew, Li Xian loved it from the bottom of his heart. For a while, he only hated that this child was not his own son. Over the years, Li Xian, who was already boring except for killing, was the first time to renew his life. A thirst for life arises.
Li Lin stared blankly at his father. He had never seen his father so happy. At this moment, he could not wait to replace the little baby and appreciate the warmth of his father's embrace. At this time, a hand lightly stroked the top of his head, he looked up, and saw a gentleman in Tsing Yi looking at him with a smile, his eyes were so warm, Li Lin only felt that tears filled his eyes, he quickly turned his face to the side Go, I don't want people to see my cowardice. A trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the scholar in Tsing Yi, then turned around and said with a smile, "Okay, Your Highness, don't tease Shen'er. If you startle him, Zhen'er will be heartbroken."
Li Xian reluctantly returned the baby to Princess Changle and laughed: "Don't pretend, I heard the Queen's Sister-in-law and His Royal Highness say that you were the one who bullied Rou Lan the most. I have never seen such a father. , you know that bullying your son and daughter, it's better to give Shen'er to me, so as not to be angry with your bad father."
I almost twisted my nose when I heard it. This King Qi used to like to watch my good dramas. Every time we met, he would never forget to be awkward and put his arms in his arms. I sneered: "This son naturally cannot give you Yes, but you are also his uncle anyway, so, if you marry a princess in the future and have a direct descendant of the princess, I will let Shen'er call you father-in-law."
Hearing this, Li Xian's face turned gloomy at first. He felt guilty for Qin Zheng's affairs. He not only dismissed Ji's concubine, but also refused. This is something that many people know. Naturally annoyed.
But somehow, after a while, he gradually felt that this idea was a good idea. If this Jiang Shen became his son-in-law, then the son-in-law would also be half son, which would make him satisfied, but even though he now has one or two daughters, they are both concubines. Not to mention, he is also much older than Jiang Shen. If he wanted Jiang Shen to be his son-in-law, he really had to have another daughter. It is not too much for Jiang Zhe to let himself marry another princess and have a direct daughter. After all, Jiang Shen is the eldest son of Princess Changle, and his father is such a person. I am afraid that this marriage will be missed by many people.
Thinking of this, Li Xian thought that it was for this son-in-law that he had to marry a princess. Besides, he also thought that there is no one in the family to preside over the central feed, and those concubines are also left undisciplined, but they are left to fend for themselves. If there is a virtuous princess to take care of him, he will save himself the trouble of not mentioning, and it will not delay the future of those children. And maybe seeing Jiang Zhe's family happy, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little guilty, thinking that the so-called Qi family runs the country, even his family affairs are in chaos, no wonder he lost to the emperor, and he has been depressed for a long time because of the loss of succession. The knot of heart is actually a little loose.
The obsession in his heart was eliminated, Li Xian's mind immediately became flexible, and he immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity, and quickly said: "Then we can agree, if I have a daughter, Shen'er will be mine in the future. son in law.
I look at my son, Xindao, son, don’t blame me for arbitrarily setting your life and becoming my son. I’m afraid you can’t let you be the master of this marriage. Even if I don’t care, there will be people Concerned, although King Qi is stubborn, he is a straightforward person, and his daughter should also be very good. But for your happiness, I will give you a few more options. Thinking of this, I said again: "Well, it's not uncommon for me to marry you, but I don't want to feel wronged by Shen'er. Well, how about you have more daughters in the future and let Shen'er choose?"
Li Xian didn't care that his future daughter was chosen, and said: "Then you and I will high-five and swear to agree on this matter. There are so many guests to prove this matter, and Changle is also in front of you. You can't deny this engagement. "
I smiled slightly, thinking to myself, if Shen'er has another crush in the future, it's a big deal to expel him from the house and let him be free. If he doesn't love fame, fortune and wealth, I can only be happy, why would I blame him? Well, let's talk about it, the so-called childhood sweethearts, love for a long time, Shen'er and King Qi's daughter will have the opportunity to see each other every day, if that woman doesn't have the ability to impress Shen'er, then I can't blame it. Thinking like this, I raised my palm and said, "Of course I won't deny it. If Your Highness has a direct daughter and is compatible with Shen'er, this marriage will be unintentional, and Zhe will come to ask for marriage, unless Shen'er is not my son. , otherwise the marriage will be settled like this."
Although Li Xian has an extraordinary military strategy, he naturally does not pay attention to the details of these words, so he also raised his palm and gave me a high five as an oath, agreeing that this marriage is a marriage between the fingers.
Seeing Jiang Zhe and Li Xian high-five their vows, the distinguished guests in the pavilion had different thoughts. Lin Bi shouted badly in her heart. If King Qi reconciled with Dayong's superiors because of this, it would not be good for me in Northern Han, but she does not Showing his face, he just smiled and congratulated. Li Kang felt anger in his heart. He didn't want to see King Qi pressing on his head again. It can be said that there are things, and they may not have the opportunity to disturb their good things, so they have not revealed any traces. On the contrary, Gou Lian was really happy in his heart. He said in his heart that although His Royal Highness King Qi is stubborn, the emperor really loves him. Since he promised to marry a concubine, this is a good opportunity to make up for the relationship between the emperor and King Qi. Jiang Zhe is really amazing, but in just a few words, he solved such a big problem. If the emperor knew about it, I don't know how happy he would be.
No matter what everyone was thinking, they were all beaming. Only Jiang Shen, who didn't know that he was betrayed by his father, looked curiously at the various objects on the big wooden table in the middle of the pavilion. Every now and then I reach out to touch those things, but the distance is too far to touch them. Unable to bear, Jiang Shen's face was a little distorted, and it was about to turn into a downpour. The door of the pavilion was suddenly knocked open, and Lin Tong, who hurried over, asked loudly, "Have you begun to arrest Zhou? What have you caught?" Frightened back, Jiang Shen, who forgot about the crying, looked at Lin Tong curiously again.
Princess Changle smiled slightly, she just felt a little unhappy in her heart, and she thought, why Suiyun didn't discuss with herself, and she gave Shen'er a finger for marriage. But she came from a royal family after all, so she naturally knew that the more noble she was, the less likely she would be able to choose a marriage by herself. Needless to say, Shen'er was her own son, just because of Jiang Zhe's position in the hearts of Dayong and the royal brother, she might even be able to choose her own marriage. The husband and wife did not give their son the right to choose a wife. Now that Jiang Zhe has married his son, he is planning ahead. But seeing that the atmosphere in the room was cloudy and not raining, King Qing Li Kang and Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping were a little out of their minds, and they were worried about how to turn around. When they saw Lin Tong rushed in recklessly, they smiled and said, "Don't worry, the county master, you have to After a while, the maid just now went to invite the county lord, and she must have missed it with the county lord.
Lin Tong, who had taken a nap for more than half an hour, woke up completely, apologized embarrassingly, and stepped back behind Lin Bi. Seeing that it was almost time, Princess Changle smiled and said, "Suiyun, I think it should start, otherwise Shen'er will be in a hurry." I looked at Shen'er's curious eyes and said, "Then let him go and catch him. , I also really want to see what Shen'er will catch?"
This is a folk custom that has been around for a long time. As long as the family is a little wealthy, they will invite relatives and friends to come to the party when their children are one year old. Listen to the wooden table in the center of Tao Pavilion. Many things have been placed, while Jiang Zhe and Changle Princesses are not ordinary people, and the items prepared by Zhou Zhou are also very delicate and valuable.
There is a silver plate with a golden seal, two ebony plates, one contains three hardcover books, namely "The Analects", "Lao Tzu", "Diamond Sutra", and the other contains the best quality books. Lake pen, Hui ink, rice paper, Duan inkstone, a boxwood plate with abacus, ingots and account books, and a red satin on one side is an elaborate white jade qin, only half a foot in length, and a pair of Go chess made of ink jade crystal. The price is invaluable. There is a short sword and a machete in the black iron plate. They are all green shark skin scabbards, golden swallows, yellow velvet arm, very luxurious. However, in the middle of the table is a box of cakes made by Princess Changle herself, which is fragrant and mouth-watering.
These items are very luxurious. Even the powerful and rich King Qi and others can't help but feel a little too extravagant. King Qi stopped looking at it and said with a smile: "Since he is my son-in-law, then I can't wrong him." Conghuai said. He took out a crystal clear Purple Jade Soldier Talisman and placed it on the table.
Princess Changle said in surprise: "Sixth brother, this is the military talisman you command the army, how can you take it out for Shen'er to grab?"
Li Xian said with a smile: "It's just an occasion, even if Shen'er catches it, I have to take it back, but I just want to see if this child has the life to lead the troops."
I smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that your Highness will be disappointed if you think so. Those who lead soldiers need to be cruel. I think Shen'er is a soft-hearted person, so I'm afraid he can't lead soldiers."
Li Xian waved his hand and said: "This is not necessarily, who is born with a heart, and many warriors in this king's army did not even dare to kill when they first entered the battlefield. Now, aren't they killing people like numbness, and their hearts are like wolves? "
There was a flash of coldness in King Qing's eyes, and he smiled: "Sixth brother is so enthusiastic, I, the third uncle, can't help expressing it." He took off a somewhat old bright yellow purse from his waist, embroidered on it with a four-clawed golden dragon, the purse Bulging, but don't know what's inside.
There was a hint of confusion in Li Xian's eyes. No one else knew, but he knew what it was. When King Qing's biological mother died tragically, Li Xian looked down on this usually cowardly older brother, but he still went to comfort him, only to see Li Kang wept while hugging his mother's makeup box. Although Li Xian was straightforward, he knew that he shouldn't bother, so he watched in secret. At that time, King Qing Li Kang took a jade bracelet from his mother's concubine's dressing box and put it in the bright yellow purse beside him. The next day Li Kang disappeared from the palace. After Li Kang reappeared on the Dayong court many years later, he always carried this purse with him, and others ignored it, but Li Xian kept it in his heart, and he was quite moved by King Qing's filial piety. It's just that he and King Qing have different temperaments, and secondly, Li Xian was a prince at the time, so he didn't get close to King Qing. Today, the brotherhood between the two is very weak and difficult to restore. Li Xian naturally There will be no mention of the matter of wanting to comfort the third brother back then, so Li Kang will never think that Li Xian knows the things in this purse.
When I looked at this purse, I felt a little strange. I wouldn't ask for something I don't understand, so I said, "I don't know what kind of gift His Royal Highness King Qing gave. If it's too expensive, I'm afraid my child won't be able to bear it."
Li Kang said with a smile: "This thing is not precious, it's just a relic of my late mother. If Lang loves it, maybe our two families are also married."
I was stunned for a moment. I just said that Shen'er should be the son-in-law of King Qi. Why did King Qing come to propose marriage? At this time, I saw King Qing Li Kang's eyes fell on Rou Lan, and I immediately understood that my mother's relic was naturally The best gift for a wife or daughter-in-law, King Qing actually wanted Rou Lan to be his daughter-in-law.
The anger in my heart can no longer be contained. Although I betrayed Shen’er and got engaged to him at a young age, it doesn’t mean that I can set Rou Lan’s marriage so hastily. Some of them, in the worst case, can let him run away in the future, but his daughter should be favored, let alone King Qing's son who doesn't know what to do, even any child of the Dayong royal family, don't even think about marrying my daughter. My Rou Lan is going to marry a man who loves her like a treasure. How can those royal children with three wives and four concubines be Rou Lan's husbands
The expression on my face became indifferent, I said lightly: "Your Highness's kindness, Zhe is grateful, but Zhe loves this daughter the most in his life, and her marriage requires her to be willing. Now that Lan'er is still young, the matter of marriage is still unresolved. inconvenient to talk about.”
These words did not give King Qing any face at all, and even I was a little worried that he would turn his face, but to my surprise, Li Kang's expression did not change at all, and smiled: "It seems that the dog does not have such a blessing, Mr. Jiang's Miss, of course you are precious and precious, so there should be a better match."
This sentence seems to be envious and mocking, but Li Kang said it very peacefully. I saw that he didn't have a seizure, and I was secretly relieved. I couldn't help but regret inviting him. It was originally for his identity, after all, he He is the prince of the dynasty and the elder brother of Changle, but his coming, not only made me an enemy, but also made the internal contradictions of Dayong fall into the eyes of outsiders, but unfortunately I can't hinder his face and superficial appearance. Harmony, and thus missed Rou Lan's life. Seeing the thoughtful look flashing in Lin Bi's eyes, she also knew that I was afraid that inviting her over this time would be a bit of a loss. It's just that there is no regret medicine to take in the world, and I secretly said in my heart, that's all, there will always be a way to make up for today's losses in the future. I forced a smile on my face and said, "Okay, Zhen'er, let Shen'er do it, I think he can't bear it anymore."
Princess Changle smiled softly, and placed her beloved son on the wooden table with her own hands, allowing him to act since childhood. Jiang Shen's eyes widened, showing a look of joy and curiosity, just now he was eager to get those interesting things, but now he refuses to reach out and just looks at it carefully.
After a while, the little baby began to move, and he quickly climbed to the middle, picking up a fragrant pastry.
I couldn't help groaning. I heard that if I grab the cakes first when I catch Zhou, it means that this child may be lazy in the future, although most of the guests will compliment politely, saying that this child will be well-fed and well-fed in the future. I originally wanted to remove the cakes, because even I love the cakes in Changle, and I'm afraid Shen'er can't resist the temptation, but Zhen'er said it's the rule, but now she's the first to pick up the cakes.
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing silently in the corner of the room, suddenly smiled, I glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Shun smiled and said: "Young master is indeed the son of the son. Didn't the son tell the servant that when the son arrested Zhou, he was the first to grab the cakes?"
As soon as he said these words, the room was silent for a moment, and then Li Xian laughed loudly. Although the others were obstructing my face, they were all smiles. I didn't feel a little embarrassed, but I thought to myself, this way, others won't laugh at Shen'er. Although Xiao Shunzi lost my face, he saved Shen'er's face.
At this time, Shen'er had already put down the cakes, her big eyes rolled around, she stretched out her hand to pick up the abacus, I trembled in my heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Jiang is the most troublesome to manage the account. My eyes, if it wasn't for the help of a trusted subordinate to manage the industry, I'm afraid Jiang would have been poor and white. Shen'er can be more shrewd in the future, so as not to ruin the family business." These words are not only comfort, I have the ability to start a business, but management Those trivial accounts are the most troublesome to me. Fortunately, I have been making the best of my strengths and circumventing my weaknesses and not intervening in these matters. If Shen'er is more shrewd, at least I don't have to worry about him becoming a prodigal in the future.
Then Shen'er dropped the abacus, reached out and picked up the exquisite saber, I thought with some regret: "Obviously there is a sword, why don't you take it, who doesn't know that people with swords are often both civil and military, and take the sword. Most of the knives are reckless warriors."
I anxiously turned around the table a few times, and said bitterly, "Shen'er, what's the matter with you, you were a father and picked up the four treasures of the study for the second time, why don't you like books and ink at all? ." Everyone in the pavilion laughed, and those who knew me well were fine, King Qing Li Kang, Lin Bi, and Lin Tong all thought it was funny, I never thought that such a talented Jiang Suiyun would have such a childish side. But I didn't pay attention to their expressions and looked at Shen'er wholeheartedly, hoping that he would give me some face.
At this time, Shen'er put down her saber and stretched out her hand towards the ebony tray. I was overjoyed and held my breath for fear of disturbing him. Shen'er's little hand swept away, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone immediately became a mess, but he stretched out his hand to the other plate. Sure enough, Shen'er reached out and took a book, and then her little hand tore it curiously.
But I only felt a buzzing sound in my head, I stepped forward, lifted Shen Er by the collar, and shouted loudly, "Stinky boy, what's the matter with you, even though I was a father, I also arrested him. A Lao Tzu, but the first one took the Analects. You are good, but you are holding on to the Diamond Sutra. If you do something wrong, you want to become a monk. It is unreasonable. Just throw this book away, you are just a word. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, this is something that a monk absolutely cannot do."
Princess Changle didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she stepped forward and said, "Suiyun, don't be impulsive, taking the Buddhist scriptures is just because you have a relationship with Buddhism, why is it related to being a monk, catching Zhou is just a ceremony, how can you take it so seriously. Let go. , don't hurt Shen'er."
I said in awe: "Yes, yes, I was too impulsive, who told this kid not to save me some face." After that, I looked at Shen'er, worried that he would be frightened, but it was fine if he didn't. At first glance, I couldn't help laughing. I saw that although Shen'er was holding the Diamond Sutra tightly with both hands, her little feet were dangling, and she was swinging there.
I said angrily: "The family is unfortunate, how can such a tired boy come out."
Li Xian couldn't help laughing: "Suiyun, you don't have to worry, I think this child is naughty and lively, and he will be a good material for martial arts in the future."
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi suddenly flashed his eyes, looked out the window, and said coldly, "Master He Fang came to Jinghai Villa, the evil shadow Li Shun is polite, please show up."
I was shocked. Although this Jinghai Villa can't be seen on the surface, there are countless secret posts in this villa. How could someone break into this place and not be discovered
At this time, a soft Buddha's name came from outside the door, and then someone said: "Master Li's martial arts are so diligent, I really admire the old man. Just now, the old man saw that Jiang Tanyue was taming his son, and it is inconvenient to disturb him. Please forgive me."
Then the pavilion door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged monk in a gray cassock stood with a smile, but I felt my scalp tighten and said sternly: "Master Cizhen, Jiang is not saying that being a monk is not good, and I ask Master to forgive me. "I secretly screamed unlucky, why did my words come to this master who is a master, what if he thinks I have a prejudice against Buddhism.
Master Cizhen smiled slightly and said: "Old Na understands Tan Yue's thoughts, Tan Yue will stand in the new year, and he has only one son under his knees, so it is inevitable that he has high hopes, but Lao Na sees this child's talent is excellent, if Tan Yue allows him, Lao Na wants to accept him as his apprentice, I don't know. What does Tan Yue think?"
I blurted out and was about to refuse, but when I saw Xiao Shunzi shaking his head gently, my heart moved, this Master Cizhen definitely didn't want my son to become a monk, Shen'er was born by the princess, and I was the only son under my knees, that is Cizhen No matter how much the master loves talents, he will never let Shen'er become a monk.
At this time, Master Cizhen said again: "Although Pei Yun is my Shaolin Dharma-protecting disciple, he is now a heavy soldier, and it is inconvenient to intervene in many things in the arena. The old man sees that Linglang's character and aptitude are very outstanding, so he loves it in his heart. Tanyue agrees, Lao Na is willing to accept Linglang as a closed disciple, and also asks Tanyue and Her Royal Highness to rest assured that looking at Linglang's face, in the future, he will have a long life, many children and many grandchildren, and he will never become a monk."
I know it in my heart, or Shen'er has extraordinary talent, but I think this old monk is out of ten to hold a hostage. If Shen'er worships Shaolin, Xiao Shunzi and I will never be able to embarrass Shaolin in the future. This old monk is still suspicious of me. But after thinking about it, Shen'er has never been quiet for a moment. It seems that she has no ability to write a fuss. If you practice martial arts, there is no better master in the world except for Master Cizhen. Shaolin's martial arts is said to be the most authentic martial arts in the world. , If you don’t practice well, you won’t fail. After worshipping such a master, who would dare to embarrass Shen’er in the future
These thousand thoughts flashed by, I smiled and said: "Shen'er is naturally blessed to be able to worship the master, but our husband and wife only have this son, we only hope that he grows up safely, Chenghuan's knees, if the master brings him Wouldn't it hurt our hearts as parents too much to leave?"
Master Cizhen smiled slightly and said, "Old Na has decided to temporarily place orders at Fuyun Temple in Chang'an. Now that Ling Lang is still young, Lao Na can also temporarily stay at Mr. Jiang's house to teach."
I was overjoyed and said, "Deal." As soon as the words came out, I realized that I had slipped, and quickly said: "In that case, Zhe would like to thank Master for his kindness, but why did Master come so far?"
