Chapter 527 Progress
No matter what Li Xuan wanted to do, he couldn't surpass General Li.

Li Xuan couldn't ignore the filial piety between father and son.

After all, although General Li was partial, he would even use his son as a pawn to bring glory to the Li family in Longxi.But other than that, General Li still fulfilled his duties as a father on weekdays.

There are not many fathers who do everything very well, and there are not many fathers who can't find fault. General Li, who is somewhat criticized, but who fulfills his duties most of the time, accounts for the vast majority.

Naturally, he couldn't ignore such a father.Unlike Ji Shizi's well-known bastard father, everyone would only clap their hands and applaud him in vain.

"What's going on today? Why did my sister-in-law offend that Fourth Miss Jiang?" Li Xuan asked Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li talked about what happened at the flower viewing banquet, and she spread her arms and explained to Li Xuan in detail: "She wants to find me unhappy, so she will first use the fact that the owner of Rong'an County visited the Furong Garden to overwhelm me, and then At the flower viewing banquet, my guest got angry again and wanted to slap me in the face. I have calculated everything, but I didn't expect to pick a hard stubble and kick it to the iron plate!"

Mrs. Li was really happy in her heart: "Your father, who even arranged for his own people at the banquet where his mother chose a wife for you, no matter how much he said 'no problem' on his face, he actually felt very uncomfortable in his heart." !"

Regardless of whether General Li is a father, the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, or the helm of the Longxi Army, these identities put General Li in absolute control.Over the years, he has already developed the habit of controlling everything.

How can such a person who wants to control everything in his hands not care about what Miss Jiang Si mentioned?

"In his opinion, the Longxi Army belongs to him, and he also intends to hand it over to the eldest son, but he has the final say on when to hand it over." Mrs. Li said, "The military regulation reform that was arranged last year was also acquiesced by him. It was used for your elder brother Liwei, and now he is afraid that he will be afraid to respond, lest your elder brother have any idea of ​​replacing it prematurely."

Since ancient times, there are not a few princes who want to force their fathers to abdicate. General Li's response is likely to suppress him with his backhand.

"This is a good opportunity, Dad will definitely support me to suppress Big Brother." Li Xuan saw it very clearly, and he said to Mrs. Li, "Although it may not be intentional, Miss Jiang Si really helped me a lot. "

Mrs. Li understood, she nodded her head and asked him, "So, are you satisfied with Miss Jiang Si?"

Li Xuan nodded immediately, paused, and did not forget to say to Mrs. Li: "I heard from my mother that she is a thoughtful girl. If my mother really wants to come to ask for marriage, I'm afraid she must be more sincere. Inform the situation truthfully.”

"It's natural." Mrs. Li said "Yes", but hesitated again, and couldn't help asking him again, "Xuan Jing, my son, although mother doesn't think my son is such a vulgar and superficial person, But my mother still wants to make it clear to you: Miss Jiang Si looks the same as the rumors outside, if you marry at that time, go out, I am afraid that you will be scrutinized and ridiculed by others. Think clearly, mother I will marry you again."

Don't underestimate the eyes of outsiders, a husband and wife are one body when they go out, she can imagine the situation when he and his wife go out and be pointed out by others in the future, after all, there are only a few people who are beyond reproach in this world, most of them see this situation An outsider who would laugh at his husband and wife.

What are you worried about as a mother!It turned out to be this matter.Li Xuan smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, since I have made up my mind, I am asking for marriage with great sincerity. If this is done, I will definitely respect her. From now on, the two of us will not talk about harmony." , at least we can respect each other as guests."

Mrs. Li carefully looked at the expression on her son's face, seeing that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, she nodded and said: "So, mother will find a way to marry this virtuous wife for you."

Just after saying this, Mrs. Li suddenly said "No", she lowered her eyes and pondered, and after a while, she said: "Wait, I'm afraid your father will come forward about this matter."

That Miss Jiang Si's immediate elder is only Uncle Dongping. According to Uncle Dongping's temperament of pampering his daughters, that Uncle Dongping will definitely personally intervene in her marriage.

in this way……

"Xuan Jing, I'm going to find Uncle Dong Ping to discuss marriage, I'm afraid my mother can't do it, I have to find your father!"

Li Xuan didn't pay attention to this at first, after all, he and Mrs. Li were all focused on Miss Jiang Si herself.

At this moment, remembering the situation in Miss Jiang Si's home, it occurred to him that he really needed to discuss this matter with Uncle Dongping.

In this case, the only way is to ask General Li to come forward.

"This matter... I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Mrs. Li became worried, "The reason why your father is afraid of your elder brother and sister-in-law today is because Miss Jiang Si who is talking has nothing to do with our family. If this is the time, I will If the two of you go to tell your father that you have found Miss Jiang Si, your father will definitely suspect that the two of us are in collusion with Miss Jiang Si, and deliberately persuaded Miss Jiang Si to talk about today's call."

If this is the case, the whole thing is wrong, and with General Li's temperament, he will inevitably start to question the two of them again.

The more Mrs. Li thinks about it, the more troublesome it becomes: it's okay to lose two marriages one after another, but now she finally fell in love with a girl, and that girl has never been engaged, but...

Mrs. Li sighed heavily, smiled helplessly and shook her head.

Li Xuan was not as distressed as Mrs. Li when he heard the words, but just lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Actually... Maybe you and I really don't need to worry about this matter, and father may not choose Miss Jiang Si."

What's the meaning?Mrs. Li blurted out in surprise: "How is it possible?"

What she considers marriage for Xuan Jing is to benefit Xuan Jing herself, but General Li is different.She couldn't understand what the person next to her pillow thought.The person next to the pillow was thinking about the interests of the Li family in Longxi, not necessarily the benefit of Xuan Jing.

How can two people choose the same person when they have different purposes?

"In the past, Dad might not have thought of Miss Jiang Si, but this time, Miss Jiang Si passed by Dad, so Dad will definitely see this person." Li Xuan explained to Mrs. Li with a smile, "Dad I am afraid of my elder brother, but I don't want to shake the foundation of my elder brother, so I must put a thorn in front of my elder brother and sister-in-law to remind me."

Right now, which thorn can prick Mr. Li and his wife more tremblingly than Miss Jiang Fourth?

This is of course not the main reason.

"Uncle Dongping is currently investigating a major corruption case for His Majesty. Two days ago, the Du family was personally responsible for copying the house. In the past, the Du family and the Qi family had a good relationship, otherwise they would not be brothers-in-law. Father is a cautious man. Although the Du family's conviction did not implicate the Qi family, they are somewhat related. Besides, the sister-in-law's surname is Qi. Under such circumstances, what is better than marrying the daughter of a case-handling officer to offset the relationship with the Qi family? , can clear up the suspicion of the Li family?"

Mrs. Li couldn't help but be taken aback by what she said in one sentence. Although it was shocking when I first heard these words, but... thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Li felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

"So, wait for a moment. If I guessed correctly, Dad should have called me over to ask about Miss Jiang Si in the past two days." Li Xuan said with a smile, "I just happen to be able to use this When the time comes, be a good son who obeys his father's orders."

Li Xuan said these words with a smile, but Mrs. Li looked at Li Xuanjing who was speaking with a smile, for some reason, she felt a little inexplicably sour in her heart.

The father's heart is all planning and planning for the Li family, so why did he ever plan to live a good life for Xuan Jing, his son?
The reality was faster than Li Xuan guessed. Early the next morning, General Li called him to the study to talk about his marriage.

"The Fourth Miss Jiang has an exquisite mind, is bright and intelligent, and is the only daughter of Uncle Dongping. Enemies should be resolved rather than married. If you can get married with Uncle Dongping, Miss Jiang and your sister-in-law will become brothers-in-law in the future. What happened yesterday will be nothing. It's just a joke!"

joke?Hearing what General Li said from her son, Mrs. Li couldn't help but want to laugh. She pursed her lips, and a trace of coldness appeared on her face: "Are you kidding? It's already like this before we get married. He's not a generous person. It's no wonder this brother-in-law doesn't make trouble in the future!"

Although she was the one she fell in love with, she would rather General Li be picky at this time, at least, that means that the person next to her pillow still has some plans for her son.

But the truth is no, not at all.

Li Xuan was aware of the resentment in his mother's heart. After comforting Mrs. Li, he said lightly, "It's okay. Since I was born in the Li family in Longxi, it is impossible to grow up without desire. The thought is not important, the process is not important, the important thing is the result."

For now, this result is exactly what they were looking for.

"So I will let my father make the decision." Li Xuan got up to this point, got up, saluted Mrs. Li solemnly, and said, "I'm afraid I will have to trouble my mother in the future."

Mrs. Li glanced at him, and said: "Don't worry, mother will save it." After a pause, she snorted coldly again, "This marriage will definitely be done beautifully for you."

Mrs. Li, who died early, was of ordinary background, and her husband subsidized a lot when her stepson married a wife.But for Xuan Jing...she really didn't dare to expect it.

If that's the case, then...it's all up to her.There is no one near the Bo family of the Longxi imperial merchant, and there will be no shortage of money.

Seeing Niang's expression of pursing her lips and snorting coldly, Li Xuan sighed, but didn't try to persuade her anymore.

Stepmother can't help it!He has seen all the troubles my mother has encountered in these years.He moved his lips, trying to persuade him, but when the words came to his lips, Li Xuan swallowed them all.

Promises and word-of-mouth things are of little use, nothing is better than a real achievement.

……

……

Jiang Shaoyan didn't know that she was "fortunate" to be in the eyes of General Li. At this time, she was listening to Chen Tong who had turned into Mr. Chen and came back to report.

"His Majesty the Crown Prince is puzzled why he would be punished by His Majesty for jumping out and saying that His Majesty's affairs will be punished by His Majesty." When Chen Tong said this, he couldn't help but support his forehead. The method can solve the Second Highness and eradicate the influence of the demon way."

Originally, he was still a little apprehensive about directly contacting His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, it was difficult to disclose some things that Miss Jiang Si had confessed to the Crown Prince without arousing His Highness the Crown Prince's suspicion.

But... After getting in touch, I realized that many things didn't need to be revealed or hinted by him, and His Royal Highness had already made up for it in his own mind.

They also wanted to imply that His Highness the Crown Prince would confront His Highness the Second Civilian Highness, but... before he began to hint, His Highness the Crown Prince had already "sweared" to deal with the Second Highness.

The task is far simpler than they imagined.

Chen Tong said: "I told him there is, but I just have to wait for me to realize it and communicate with heaven and earth before I tell him."

After making his promise to His Royal Highness, he immediately came back to communicate with Miss Jiang Si.

Jiang Shaoyan said "Yes" when she heard the words, and said to him: "When we meet later, you tell His Highness the Crown Prince that His Second Highness is protected by evil spirits and is invulnerable to swords and guns. He should first get closer to Second Highness, borrowing the dragon Purify the evil spirit around the Second Highness with Qi before we can start."

Chen Tong nodded, indicating that he understood.

But the girl gave him a sideways look, and said: "It's useless for you to understand, you want him to understand. If he doesn't understand this, you can tell him straightforwardly that you must first make friends with His Highness the Second Highness."

Chen Tong: "...Okay." Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that for a person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's really possible that he couldn't understand, so he had to speak up.

Sure enough, after the meeting, he repeated Jiang Shaoyan's words, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not understand.

Chen Tongdao: "His Royal Highness first pretended to be a snake, and approached Second Highness to make friends with him, so that after purifying the evil spirit around him, it will be convenient for us to do it."

These words are straightforward enough, His Royal Highness really understood.

only……

He frowned and said: "The wild things from the folks have never been close to Gu Yi, and they always walk around Gu Yi on the road, I'm afraid they won't be willing to make friends with Gu Yi."

Chen Tong pinched his fingers, did some clever calculations, and said to him: "Your Highness, don't worry, when he enlightened yesterday, Pindao had already greeted Lu Xingjun. Today is different from the past, Your Highness might as well go back and try. Your Highness will not only not avoid you, but will even take the initiative to meet you and make friends with you."

is it?His Royal Highness obviously didn't believe this, but because of Mr. Chen's "speaking will come out", after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's try it alone!"

After sending the prince away in a few words, Chen Tong went back to see Jiang Shaoyan.

"The prince promised to try it." Chen Tong said.

His Highness the Crown Prince himself has always cooperated closely, but this matter is different from the previous ones. He couldn't help but ask Jiang Shaoyan, "Miss Jiang Si, did you arrange for the Second Highness?"

These days, I haven't seen anyone beside Miss Jiang Si. When was it arranged?

The movement of the girl shaking her head turned Chen Tong's face pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "But I have said all that, if the Second Highness doesn't cooperate, Mr. Chen's words can't work, and His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely respond." I'm suspicious."

The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obeyed his advice was not only that his brain was really not good enough, but also because of his "smart calculations" and his words were predictable.

But as long as this kind of "magic calculation" fails once, it will not work next time.

Facing Chen Tong's tense expression, Jiang Shaoyan smiled and said, "Although I have not arranged for the Second Highness, he should also want to take the initiative to approach His Highness and form an alliance with His Highness." Speaking of this, she paused, His tone suddenly became more meaningful, "This second civil highness may not be the most intelligent, but he is definitely not stupid. In this situation, choosing to form an alliance with His Highness the Crown Prince is the only choice for him."

Ever since Xiu Nu entered the palace, he had no support from Yang Yan.
