Chapter 166
In May, Jinyang finally had a heavy rain, which eased the drought.

Staying in Taiyuan's mansion, Li Yuan looked at the rain, his face softened a little, and he turned his head and told Li Jiancheng who was beside him, saying: "When the heavy rain comes, the food stored in the warehouse city must remember to prevent moisture."

"Yes." Li Jiancheng agreed. The grain storage in this warehouse city is the most important thing in Taiyuan County. Although the grain storage in this warehouse city is not as good as Liyang warehouse and Luokou warehouse, it is still close to the border county. Among them, the largest granary except Zhuojun, with the grain stored in this granary city, one can recruit 20 or even [-] troops in this troubled world at will.So it's no wonder that Li Yuan paid so much attention to it, and he had to personally tell Li Jiancheng to pay attention.

The father and son were talking about business, and soon after, the door official came out and said: "My lord, my wife is here."

Li Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard this, only to hear the door curtain lifted, a middle-aged woman walked into the house with the help of a maid.The weather was not hot at this time, but the woman was covered with a big cloak, her face was bloodless pale, but her eyes were bright.

When Li Jiancheng saw him, he saluted and said, "Mother."

Mrs. Dou nodded, but Li Yuan said: "You are not in good health. If you are not in the care of the general, how can you get out of bed? If there is anything, just ask the servant girl to call me. If you are caught by the wind, what should you do?" Li Yuan There is a concern in the words.

"Thank you for your concern," Mrs. Dou said softly again, "Bishamon, I have some personal words with your father, you step back for now."

"Yes." Li Jiancheng respectfully accepted the order, and exited the door together with Mrs. Dou's maid. Mrs. Dou sat down on a thick brocade-padded stool, looked at Li Yuan and said, "I heard that yesterday the Champion Hou's house, Come to ask Wan'er for marriage, right?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Not bad."

Madam Dou took a deep breath and said, "Then how do you answer?"

Sitting beside his wife, Li Yuan took her hand and said with a smile: "Madam, Sanniang is my most beloved daughter. It's not like you don't know it. You have to know that as a parent, you will do everything and never harm your children." of."

Mrs. Dou heard what Li Yuan said, fixed her eyes on Li Yuan, and said with tears: "But you clearly know that Wan'er is for..."

When Li Yuan heard this, a look of displeasure floated on his face.I only heard Mrs. Dou say: "Husband, I know that you have always been very assertive in everything you do. If you don't want to marry Wan'er to the champion, you just refuse him directly. Why use Ruohua to replace Wan'er..."

Li Yuan waved his hands and said, "Okay, I have my own opinion on this matter. You don't need to worry about it, just rest in peace and recuperate."

Having said this, Li Yuan coughed heavily, and the maid outside the room lifted the curtain and entered, helping Mrs. Dou up.Mrs. Dou was sick and frail, and she watched her husband for a long time, unable to leave.Li Yuan glanced at Mrs. Dou, but turned away.

Soon after Mrs. Dou left silently, Li Jiancheng re-entered the house. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Father, Li Hu and his son really don't know good from bad, and they really look down on us. Hmph, I knew they came from such a poor family." People with low self-esteem in their hearts, like to hurt themselves and feel sorry for themselves, usually you treat him kindly, but you feel that you are equal to others, if you treat him like others, you feel that you look down on him.”

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, Li Jiancheng continued to say: "Father, since the Li family thinks that they don't want this marriage, and don't marry with my Li family, then there is no need for us to take care of Doctor Sili for them. Controlling the place, colluding with thieves, which one is not the crime of decapitating the officials, if we go along with this book, I would like to see the father and son, who are helpless in the court, and who else can speak for them. "

"Once you gain power, you will be crowned as a monkey, and wait to lose your official position and go into exile!" Li Jiancheng said coldly.

Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan rubbed the bowl containing the drink in his hand, and asked, "Bishamon, do you really only have this insight?"

After hearing this, Li Jiancheng quickly lowered his head and said, "Father, there must be something wrong with the child."

Li Yuan sighed, and said: "This Li Hu father and son can have what they are today. In the eyes of outsiders, it is because of the support of our Li family. Now the two sides are at odds, and outsiders see me as a joke that I don't know. To add insult to injury, those outsiders who spread the word will think of me, Li Yuan."

"Acts should be done without shame, what they do is up to him, we must not go against the law in our actions."

Li Jiancheng looked ashamed when he heard this, and said: "What Dad taught me is that the child knows his mistake."

Li Yuan patted Li Jiancheng on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. My father is old and my younger brothers are still young. After Sanniang remarries, only you and Shimin will help me. Now the world will change. We In Taiyuan, it is impossible to watch the fire from the other side for a lifetime, some things should be planned in advance, you have to remember, everything I do is for our Li family, and you must do the same."

Li Jiancheng's body shook when he heard Li Yuan's words, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Father, you are finally willing to obey Uncle Liu's words."

There was silence in the room. Seeing his son's expression, Li Yuan pinched his beard and smiled without saying a word.
"The world can be expected!"

Li Jiancheng secretly said confidently.After stepping out of the study, Li Jiancheng suddenly felt that everything around him was different, and he was also walking with the wind. At this moment, the entourage at the side suddenly said jokingly, Mr. Dalang, today's walking looks like a dragon walking like a tiger. Immediately, Li Jiancheng's eyebrows twitched.
Li Jiancheng was in a good mood at the moment, and said: "Hurry up, prepare your horse immediately and go to Tianshui Lane."

"Yes, Mr. Dalang." Seeing that Li Jiancheng was in a good mood, the followers also said accordingly.

After Li Jiancheng and his entourage came to Tianshui Lane and dismounted angrily in fresh clothes, they went directly to a Dalefang run by the Jinyang government.When the young servants in front of the door saw Li Jiancheng, they hurriedly welcomed him in.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman came out to greet her, and said with a smile before saying anything: "It turns out that he is the eldest son of Duke Tang's mansion, a distinguished guest."

When Li Jiancheng saw him, his entourage raised his hand and put on a piece of silk as a salute, and said directly: "Where is Master Qu?"

When the other party saw this silk, he smiled even more and said: "Back to Eldest Young Master, after everyone Qu came to Jinyang, Yan was exhausted and rested on the third floor. No visitors."

"How long are you going to stay?" Li Jiancheng asked hastily.

"I heard that it will be after the Jinyang Palace Ceremony."

Li Jiancheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, let me tell you, Zhou Shancai (Note [-]) will definitely benefit from you."

"How dare you?" The woman smiled sweetly, "To be honest, everyone has come to Jinyang to hear the music these days. I don't know how many children are vying to see it, but they are all turned away. I can do this." If you don't know the master, you have to ask Yunniang."

When Li Jiancheng heard that everyone else had been rejected, he couldn't help but nodded, and said: "It's okay, I'm an old friend of Master Qu in Dongdu, if I go to report, I will be accommodating, so let me talk to Yunniang personally .”

"Okay." The talented person led the way, and Li Jiancheng left his entourage and walked up to the third floor by himself on the wooden ladder.On the third floor, there are many men with their hands on the handles of their knives. Hearing that everyone in Qu is going to live in the music workshop, many guards have been sent to guard the music workshop.

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this, he thought that this music workshop is heavily guarded, it is not inferior to Taiyuan Left Behind Mansion. is eager.

"Yunniang, long time no see." Li Jiancheng immediately saluted a woman in a red jacket in front of her.

Yun Niang smiled and said, "Isn't this Mr. Li? It's an honor to be here."

Li Jiancheng laughed, and said directly: "It's not that I miss my beautiful woman. Dongdu said goodbye in a hurry. It's fate to be able to meet again. I heard that Master Qu was tired from the journey, so I came here to visit. I don't know if Master Qu will give me this thin face." ?”

Yunniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "We are all acquaintances, why should Mr. Li be so polite, it's a shame for the common people, but Mr. Qu is tired, and the word is that he never sees guests, but since Mr. Li came in person , then I might as well take this trip for you."

"Thank you so much."

Li Jiancheng didn't wait long, when he saw Yunniang walking out with a sorry face on her face, and said, "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. Everyone, Qu heard that you came, and was struggling to get up to greet you, but I was sick and unwell, so I had to give up."

Li Jiancheng's heart felt cold when he heard the words, and he lost his voice and said, "I don't want to see you either?"

Yunniang offered apologetically a gift, a string of sandalwood beads, and said: "Master Qu said that we can't welcome each other, so I will give you something as a souvenir. Please don't be offended, Mr. Li."

Li Jiancheng saw this string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and the loss in his heart eased a little.He flicked his sleeves and said: "What's the matter with Yun Niang, Master Qu will be in Jinyang for a long time, I will not be in a hurry, please tell Master Qu, if he is in better health, I will do my best as a landlord .”

"Thank you Mr. Li." Yunniang said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng nodded and walked away casually. On the way back, all the attendants kept complaining for the master.Li Jiancheng smiled, if he used to be furious, but now after Li Yuan's words, his vision is no longer limited to this.

If one day, my Li family can seize the world and control the universe, then my father will be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and I, as a legitimate son, will be the crown prince of a country. In time, I will definitely become a great treasure, and today's humiliation is nothing.

Li Jiancheng glanced back immediately, Lefang behind him sneered, and said in his heart, what father said is right, a man's ambition does not originate in a woman, today she can reject me at the door, in the future I will become a nine-five Lord, what woman can't get it, let's see how she cried and knelt on the ground and begged me.Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng couldn't help being smug, and immediately whipped his horse, regardless of the horses in the city, and went straight to the house.

But at this moment, hundreds of miles away from the city, Li Chongjiu was leading more than a hundred cavalry to Jinyang in the starry night.
