sister-in-law

Chapter 144 Family Discussion
How did Li Fu'an know that his sister had confided all his thoughts?
He was still struggling with his elder brother Li Congwu to think of a way to prevent Su Ruoli from entering the palace and marry him.

But after all, this is related to the emperor, and he is competing with the emperor for a woman. Even if Li Congwu is the commander in chief with military power in his hand, he dare not make such a head for his younger brother.

After weighing again and again, he can only stabilize Li Fu'an first, and return home to discuss with his parents.

Li Fu'an naturally followed him back to the mansion, this matter can no longer be kept hidden, the elders in the family must know first.What's more, this is not only his personal problem, but also related to the fate of this family.

On this day, at dusk, the two brothers rushed back to Duke Cheng's mansion from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

As soon as I got off the horse, the family members waiting at the door rushed up to greet them, the one who led the horse led the horse, and the one who led the way led the way, surrounded by the two of them and walked towards the mansion in a mighty way.

An old nanny hurriedly turned out to face him, first saluted Brother Li Fu'an, then heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned and said with a smile: "The two masters are back? The old lady and the madam are waiting in the Ming'an hall. Come on, let's go there quickly, the banquet is already on."

Li Fuan and Li Congwu brothers looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine this old lady was selling in the gourd!

Li Congwu hesitated, and asked the family around him, "Is the Duke back?" The Duke is the father of him and Li Fu'an.

The family hurriedly bowed their heads and replied respectfully: "Grandpa Guo has been back a long time ago, and he is also in Ming'an Hall at this moment."

The whole family gathered?

Is this the prelude to something big?
The two brothers were secretly surprised, but it was good to think about it, so as not to have to run errands to talk about it one by one.

As soon as the two brothers settled down, the family said again, "Even my aunt and uncle are here."

The great aunt Li Lanfu married the second son of the Marquis of Chang'an, and it was her son—Guo Xin—that Su Ruoli saw the lady's child in the middle of the night in Qingquan Town.

After all, Su Ruoli and Cheng Guogong's mansion are quite related.

It's just that Su Ruoli didn't know.

Brother Li Fu'an arrived at the flower hall of Ming'an Hall, and saw that the black lacquered marble tabletop with mussels inlaid was covered with steaming hot meals.

Mrs. Li sat on the upper head, and Cheng Guogong and Mrs. Li sat opposite each other on the lower head.On the opposite side, Li Congwu's wife and Li Lanfu and his wife were sitting sideways.Hearing the movement, all the people turned their heads to look at them. The strange eyes stared at them, making them hairy.

"It can be regarded as looking forward to you!" Mrs. Li warmly greeted her two grandsons, "Come, Congwu, sit next to your wife. Fu'an, sit with grandma..."

Before Cheng Guogong could speak, Mrs. Li made the decision for him. After seeing the ceremony, the two grandsons sat down respectively.

Mrs. Li Congwu squinted at Li Congwu with a pair of extremely beautiful red phoenix eyes, and said with a soft smile: "Grandmother is very happy today!"

Li Congwu also lowered his head and bit his ear with her, "Why is grandma so happy?" It seemed that the family hadn't been so happy for a long time, and Li Congwu didn't know what could alarm his elderly grandmother!

"Of course it's about the second brother." Mrs. Li Congwu said in a low voice with a smile, "Anyway, it's a good thing, and the second brother is very happy to think about it."

What could make Li Fu'an happy?

Li Congwu raised his head curiously to look at Li Fuan and his grandmother, and saw that the old lady had already held Li Fuan's hand in her wrinkled palm, smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth, she looked more kind, "An'er, Look at you child, you don't tell your father and mother when you have a sweetheart? Why do you keep such a good thing under wraps?"

Mrs. Li's quick talk really made Li Fu'an a little unbearable.After all, this was his own private matter, and Li Fuan, who was falling in love for the first time, still blushed a little when his grandmother put it on the table.

Fortunately, he had practiced a lot in these years, so he immediately suppressed his shame, and said with a smile: "Grandmother really listens to everything, and grandson can't hide anything from you, old man!"

"Hehe, your grandmother worries about your marriage every day, how can you hide such things?" Mrs. Li teased him, her eyes were full of kindness.

Li Fu'an's eye sockets felt hot, he was a little moved, he called "Mother" in a low voice, but he couldn't say anything.

Li Congwu saw that his grandmother and mother were only concerned about being happy, so he couldn't help expressing his worries, "Grandmother, father and mother, and the second brother mentioned it to me. It's fine if it's an ordinary woman, but it's a bit tricky now!"

He rubbed his hands, and looked at his father Cheng Guogong with a troubled expression, "Father, you also know that the current emperor is a flamboyant person, who is he looking at, how can he give up? Our family is already eye-catching, If you compete with the emperor again for a woman...?"

Li Congwu spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

But was interrupted by Mrs. Li, "Don't let others spoil your ambition here! Is it easy for our An'er to have a woman he likes? Is there any kind of woman in the emperor's harem? How did you become An'er? Are you fighting for a woman with him?"

Mrs. Li came from a famous family, married into a family of military generals, and has been immersed for a long time, so she has a domineering temperament on her body.

Li Congwu was in a dilemma for Li Dudu's affectionate domineering, and couldn't help turning his eyes to his father who hadn't said a word until now——Cheng Guogong!

Cheng Guogong is now only at home to take care of his old age, serving his old mother, and leaving the war to the juniors.It's just that the bronze-colored skin soaked by the wind and sand is still the same as before, and the tall body sits upright and meticulous, giving people a feeling of calmness and prestige.

Looking at each other with the eldest son, Cheng Guogong silently turned his eyes away, glanced at the old mother and the youngest son, and said slowly: "The boss is right to be worried. Unless the emperor lets go of such a thing, An You must never have delusions!"

"Father...!" Li Fu'an cried out in pain, and couldn't help explaining: "But Li'er doesn't want to enter the palace, the emperor can't make things difficult for others, can he?"

Both Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's eyes jumped, look, this Li'er has screamed out, it can be seen how much this child cares about other girls?

Cheng Guogong didn't change his face when he faced his young son's heartbroken face, stretched out a big hand with sharp bones and knocked on the marble tabletop, and said slowly, "He is the emperor, and what he says is the imperial decree. If you want a minister, you can't die." Immortal, let alone a woman?"

This is the truth, but Li Fu'an is young and energetic, how can he be convinced?The blue veins on his forehead were so anxious that he finally got up and said angrily, "The emperor can't embarrass his subordinates like this! This subordinate can throw his head and blood for the emperor, but he can't even snatch his subordinate's women, right?"

It was also in a hurry that Li Fu'an said these words.On weekdays, he behaved well in front of Cheng Guogong, how could he be so gaffe?
Cheng Guogong glanced at his youngest son in surprise, and couldn't help being amused, "That girl doesn't seem to have anything to do with you at the moment?"

Since it has nothing to do with it, it is impossible to talk about the emperor snatching a woman from his ministers, how could Li Fu'an not think of it?

His face turned red, he turned around and knelt down to Mrs. Li, "Grandmother, my grandson begs you to please the old man, my grandson wants to marry Miss Su!"

His gaze was as firm as iron, and Mrs. Li's heart sank, she nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, this is a great thing, how could grandma fail to do it?"

As if she was afraid that Duke Cheng would obstruct her, Mrs. Li glared at her son again, "You are not allowed to interfere in this matter, my old lady has the final say, if the emperor blames me in the future, just use my old lady to intervene!"

"Mother, look at what you said, is your son the kind of person who sells his mother for glory?" When Duke Cheng saw his mother's seriousness, he couldn't sit still immediately, and stepped forward to squeeze Mrs. Li's arms and legs. Yes, it's so dog-legged that even Li Fu'an can't stand it anymore.

"Well, that's pretty much the same! My child only likes the perfect one, how can I push it away?" Mrs. Li was very satisfied with her son's attitude, and she showed a kind smile on her face.

"I heard that the girl was a happy girl, but she was divorced by her mother-in-law later?" Cheng Guogong hurriedly reminded his mother while his mother was happy.

Li Fu'an's eyes flickered, he didn't expect his father to inquire so carefully.

As a result, even Mrs. Li was stunned. She heard from her granddaughter Li Lanxin that this woman practiced medicine in public, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. How could her grandson fall in love with her?
I just didn't expect this to happen.

How can a grandson marry a broken shoe that other people don't want?
Mrs. Li stared straight at Li Fu'an, her face was ashen, "An'er, there are thousands of good women in the world, why do you only fall in love with a divorced abandoned woman? How old is she?" ? Since she was married, is she older than you? Is there something strange that fascinates you?"

Li Fu'an was a little dizzy when asked by his grandmother, although this old lady is almost eighty, she still has such a flexible mind.Just one sentence made her ask so many questions!
It's just that Li Fu'an is not an idler, he has two brushes of his own, he just smiled, "Grandmother, can you still believe your grandson's vision? That woman was divorced by her incomprehensible mother-in-law. Now her overjoyed husband still regrets not falling, and he is begging her to marry him again every day. If grandson is a step late, this girl will not be your granddaughter-in-law?"

After a pause, Li Fuan shyly said the most important thing again, "Miss Su is only 14 years old this year, and Chongxi was 12 years old that year. She was too young to consummate the house with her husband. Up to now, she is still a virgin. body..."

In his eyes, Su Ruoli is a pure and innocent woman, how can she let her grandmother call her a broken shoe?
Mrs. Li looked Li Fuan up and down dead-eyed, as if she knew what Li Fuan was telling the truth, she nodded after a long time, "Since you like it, it doesn't matter if you come from a lower background, anyway, I don't plan to let her Be a sect wife!"

Li Congwu is the eldest son, and his wife will be the clan wife of the Li family in the future!
