Li Er, three years after three years, I have been enthroned

Chapter 29 Li Er was slapped in the face (please recommend and read)
Bingzhou Taiyuan, Tang Guogong Mansion.

On this day, a special guest came to the Li family, Chai Shao from the Chai family.

Dressed luxuriously, looking elegant and gentle, he is really a handsome young man.

When they heard that Chai Shao was coming, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin came out to greet him.

"Two brothers."

Chai Shao cupped his hands and said.

In words, he respected Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin very much, and took the initiative to call them brothers.

"Brother Chai, you are too modest."

"Yes, just like the rumors, you can tell at a glance that she is gentle and elegant."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin praised him one after another.

"Both brothers, you are so complimentary."

Chai Shao replied.

After a short period of politeness, Li Jiancheng and the others led Chai Shao towards the hall.

On the way there, it was indispensable to have a conversation.

This also made Chai Shao have a good impression of Li Shimin and Li Shimin.

Only a few people arrived in the hall when they heard Li Yuan's voice.

"Nephew, are you here?"

The voice arrived first, and then Li Yuan followed slowly.

The eyes he looked at Chai Shao were very kind, as if he were looking at his closest relatives and descendants.

This actually made Chai Shao feel flattered. He didn't know what virtues and abilities he had to be so favored by Tang Gong Li Yuan.

"Nephew, please give my regards to your uncle."

Chai Shao cupped his hands and said.

The title is also more intimate, and he is directly called uncle.

"Okay, no need to be polite, come in and sit down."

Li Yuan greeted.

At the same time, he asked Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to prepare some tea and desserts.

Chai Shao also ordered people to bring out the gifts he brought to Li's house this time.

"Nephew, it's fine if you come. Why do you bring these things?"

Li Yuan pretended to be very unhappy and said.

However, he gestured with his eyes to let the servants take these gifts.

Since Chai Shao came to visit, the things he brought with him were naturally not simple.

It's not priceless, but at least it's rare.

"Come to see uncle, this is what you should do."

Chai Shao said with a smile.

"Haha, my nephew has a heart."

Li Yuan smiled and agreed.

"Uncle, I wonder if Xiu Ning is here?"

Chai Shao suddenly asked.

"Xiuning is not in Bingzhou now, but in the Guanzhong area."

Li Yuan thought for a while and said.

"is it?"

After hearing this, Chai Shao couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

"There are many opportunities to see you in the future, don't worry."

Li Yuan said meaningfully.

Chai Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this. The uncle's name was a kind one.

At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also prepared tea and desserts, and the four of them sat down and chatted.

They chatted back and forth, all about common topics.

However, the purpose of Chai Shao's trip was not really to visit Li Yuan, but he had other things to talk about.

"Mr. Tang, I don't know about Xiuning's engagement."

Chai Shao was about to speak but stopped.

Hearing this, Li Yuan fell silent, and Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng didn't speak to each other for a while.

The engagement that Chai Shao mentioned was the engagement between Li Xiuning and Yang Zhao.

At the beginning, Li Yuan had made it clear that Li Xiuning would not marry Yang Zhao, and also gave Chai Shao a three-year agreement.

Guessing that the appointed time had come, Chai Shao came to visit.

Li Yuan didn't want to mention this matter, so he just fooled it, and even hinted at Chai Shao.

Unexpectedly, Chai Shao took the initiative to bring it up.

"Is it possible?"

The disappointed look on Chai Shao's eyebrows suddenly became much stronger.

"Nephew, don't think so wildly."

Li Yuan knew that if he didn't speak up, the private agreement with the Chai family might be ruined. "Brother Chai, we also spoke out."

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, who understood instantly and began to organize his words.

"Brother, please tell me."

Chai Shao nodded.

"Now that Yang Zhao is a popular person around His Majesty, he is still useful to the Li family. There is no hurry to break up the engagement."

Li Shimin said bluntly.

"This"

Chai Shao frowned.

He has been waiting for three years, and what he has been waiting for is a word of impatience.

"Brother Chai, this is also for the happiness of you and Xiuning. After all, Yang Zhaoruo has fallen out with the Li family and is investigating."

Li Jiancheng interrupted.

Hearing this, Chai Shao instantly knew the stakes.

"What my brother said is true, but we can't let it go on like this, right?"

Chai Shao was in a dilemma.

After all, there are many families who want to marry the Chai family, which is beneficial to each other, and it is not a problem to spend all the time on the Li family.

"Don't worry, nephew. I have decided to marry Xiuning to you, but this road is not that easy."

Li Yuan stroked his chin and beard and said.

In fact, he also understood that Chai Shao said this deliberately to put some pressure on the Li family.

As everyone knows, Li Yuan has long seen through his tricks.

Chai Shao's feelings for Li Xiuning are all very clear to the Li family.

How could someone who loves Li Xiuning so much give up so easily?
"My uncle's words make my nephew feel guilty. After all, my nephew's achievements cannot be compared with Yang Zhao."

Chai Shao said pretending to be ashamed.

But in his opinion, Yang Zhao's success is related to the Li family, once the Li family no longer supports him.

Then Yang Zhao's status will plummet and he will become a poor boy with nothing.

There is nothing he can't compare to such a person.

"My dear nephew, look at what you said, how can Yang Zhao compare to you?"

Li Yuan said displeased.

"Yes, Brother Chai was born into a family with both civil and military talents, which Yang Zhao cannot compare to."

"Well, Yang Zhao was born into a poor family. If the ancestors of the two families are related, he will not be able to get close to our Li family."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin spoke one after another.

While belittling Yang Zhao, he elevated Chai Shao.

"Thank you."

Chai Shao smiled.

Just as a few people were having a happy discussion, a person suddenly broke in.

This person is the guard of the Duke of Tang, but he is also the scout who delivers news to the Li family, Li Jinbo.

"Well, how would you behave if you just barged in without asking for permission?"

Li Yuan frowned and scolded.

"Mr. Tang, I have something important to report."

Li Jinbo quickly explained.

"Say!"

Although Li Yuan was angry, he still chose to let Li Jinbo report directly.

"This"

Li Jinbo hesitated and glanced at Chai Shao.

"It doesn't matter. My nephew is also one of our own. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

The purpose is also to deliberately create a feeling that Chai Shao is not afraid of being treated as an outsider.

"Duke Tang, there is news from the expeditionary army."

Li Jinbo said.

"What news is coming? Just tell me directly. What's the point of selling it here?"

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were also a little unhappy.

"His Majesty appointed Yang Zhao as the General of the Eastern Conquest. Yang Zhao ambushed the main force of Goguryeo and made great achievements by quickly conquering Wugu City."

Li Jinbo was heartbroken and reported it directly.

When everyone heard this, everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially Chai Shao, his expression is very wonderful.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng also felt that they had been slapped hard.

Just now they said that Yang Zhao was incompetent and that Chai Shao was both civil and military, but now such news came.

Wasn't it just a slap in the face?
