Chapter 139 The Secret of Two People
Li Guan looked at his elder brother with a blank face.

"I, I just went in like this! It's the same as usual."

Li Wen frowned, and asked again: "Are you sure no one is guarding?"

Li Guan shook his head.

Li Wen changed the question: "Then why did you go to the garden? There's nothing else to do, didn't you always play outside?"

Li Guan said: "It's not that big brother, your good things are coming soon, I think I don't go out recently, so as not to cause trouble and delay you."

Li Wendi couldn't laugh at what he said: "I have to thank you for being sympathetic."

Li Guan actually still has the face: "That's not necessary, just don't scold me a few words at ordinary times."

Did this kid understand?Li Wen had a bit of helplessness on his face: "You don't cause trouble, so why should I scold you? You are also sixteen, you have to learn to do things, don't mess around with those people all day long. Of course, big brother can take care of you for the rest of your life, but you can do your own thing. Isn't it more majestic?"

Li Guan disagrees: "Brother, you are so capable, you don't need me! Besides, if I am really capable, I will cause troubles and make things difficult for you."

Li Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Where did you hear that? Why am I in trouble?"

Looking at his expression, Li Guan realized that he had said something wrong, so he hesitated for a long time before saying it.

Li Wen took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "You just say, big brother doesn't blame you."

Knowing that the eldest brother always keeps his word, Li Guan relaxed his expression and said: "Second brother said, you are the son, the future master of Dongjiang. There is no second day in the world. If we brothers are too capable, say If you don't allow it, there will be a subordinate with a big heart to provoke. At that time, even if you care about the brotherhood, you will not be able to help yourself. I think the second brother usually handles things in the yamen, so I just skip this step. Wouldn't it be more worry-free?"

Hearing these words, Li Wen's expression was difficult to distinguish, and he sat back slowly.

Li Guan realized something was wrong, and said cautiously: "Brother, you said earlier that you didn't blame me..."

Li Wen smiled, and the topic suddenly changed back: "The one who told you to be quiet recently is also the second brother, right? Otherwise, how could you have such self-knowledge."

Seeing him smiling, Li Guan relaxed a little, and replied: "Yes, the second brother said, this is your big brother's big event, and it is also a big matter related to our Dongjiang, so there must be no mistakes."

Li Wen glanced over: "The words are nice, but now you have made an even bigger mistake, what should you do?"

Li Guan was stunned: "What, what?" He scared the guests today, but which of these noble girls from Dongjiang would dare to blame them?It's not Xu...

Seeing his face change, Li Wen laughed sincerely, and joked: "Understood? What should I say about you, knowing that you should avoid going outside to cause trouble, but you end up messing with the boss. If eldest brother's marriage fails, What are you going to do?"

Li Guan wailed: "Brother!"

How did he react so slowly?He clearly heard the eldest brother call someone Miss Xu, but he didn't understand it.So, it was Miss Xu San who kicked him just now?That, that...

Seeing his distorted face, Li Wen laughed: "You boy, you have a pretty good eye. In the past, you didn't pay attention to anyone, and you just saw the most powerful ones."

"Brother!" Li Guan wanted to cry even more.If the marriage between the Wangfu and the Xu family is completed, it will be impossible for him and Miss Xu San.In a big family, how can a family of brothers marry a family of sisters?But he can't hope that the marriage will fail. It is very important for Dongjiang to win over the Xu family.

Wait, you won't blow up the marriage because of his offense, right?Then his sin would be great!
Seeing his nervousness, Li Wen couldn't help laughing, and comforted him: "You made an unintentional mistake today. The two young ladies of the Xu family are both broad-minded and will definitely not care about it. Besides, the marriage between our two families is a major matter that must be weighed carefully. , would something bad happen just because you're a child? Don't listen to your second brother, he's just trying to scare you. "

"Really, really?" Li Guan asked uncertainly.

Li Wen nodded, and said slowly: "Your second brother just thinks too much. There is no such thing as a second day. Our family is ordered to manage the Dongjiang River. We can't say that we are the master of the Dongjiang River. The real monarch is only His Majesty. If someone with a heart hears the words, they will think that our Li family has a heart of disobedience, which will lead to great disaster."

Li Guan let out an "ah" and hurriedly said: "Second brother must have seen that I am not good-looking, and said he was in a hurry, I will remind him to go later."

Li Wen vetoed: "No, you go ahead and tell him, won't he know that you have slipped up and told me about it? Your second brother is a man of success, so he only said such things in front of you. Just a little mention—don’t worry, I won’t mention you.”

Li Guan was coaxed, and gratefully said: "It's still good for me, brother."

Li Wen smiled, and then said: "Our Li family is a minister, so we can't use that. Which aristocratic family depends on the head of the family to prosper? It must be flourishing in order to prosper. So, you have to be more aggressive , We brothers are of one mind, that is the way for a family to prosper."

"Oh..." Li Guan didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.The happy thing is that I am still very important, but the sad thing is that I can no longer play casually after that.

"You go back. Second brother, I will mention something, so you don't need to say it. Today's words should be regarded as a secret between us. You can go back and say that I have taught you a lesson, so as not to worry about it." trouble."

After hearing his words, Li Guan finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and happily replied: "Understood, I won't say a word."

"Well, study hard and don't skip class anymore."

One sentence made Li Guan lose face again, he answered yes, and went out dejectedly.

What a silly boy, believe what others say.

Li Wen thought it was funny at first, then his face darkened.In the past, he thought that the third younger brother was useless by himself, but only now did he realize that someone did it deliberately.

He sat alone for a while, and called the guards: "Who is in charge of the concubine's side now? Who arranged today's tea party?"

The guard went out to inquire, and came back to report: "Your Majesty, it's Nanny Zhuang."

Li Wen thought about it for a while, and said, "Is her son in charge of several large farms? You go and check, and if you find something wrong, you will reveal it."

The guard understood, and replied: "Yes, this subordinate will definitely find all the evidence of the crime, so that the princess will not be deceived."

Li Wen nodded and let him go.

He was busy with government affairs in the past, but neglected his family.After all, it was his mother, how could a son be suspicious of the people around her?Fortunately, something like this happened, it was a wake-up call.

After sitting and drinking tea for a while, after thinking about the matter thoroughly, Li Wen got up, straightened his clothes, and went back to the garden.

Just then, he was in a hurry to take care of this matter and left Xu Ze there.After all, he is now "love at first sight" for Miss Xu, so it's not good to treat his future brother-in-law slowly.
