Chapter 229 Family affairs are state affairs

Hearing what Li Hu said, Li Chongjiu thought to himself that the distance between Xinhan Court and Yuyi Town was less than two days' journey by horse, and it would take less than one day to reach it on a fast horse.If the Grass Market in Yuyi Town is built, he can also vigorously woo the elders of the Khan Court to enjoy it here, even if the elders do not come here, their nephews will not be able to withstand the temptation.So Li Chongjiu asked Li Hu to give Lin Dangfeng the green light to do everything conveniently, and let him build the grass market in Yuyi Town as soon as possible.

As for Zhuojun, although Xue Shixiong's joints are difficult to get through, how profitable it is to smuggle goods and sell them to the grasslands.Li Chongjiu planned to let Lin Dangfeng continue to engage in the smuggling business in Zhuojun, and at the same time buy the officers and soldiers of the Sui army in Zhuojun through these.

After discussing these things, the catkins of the women of the Xi clan are still being squeezed leisurely. These women are all Shi Deyun's dowry, so they can also be regarded as Li Chongjiu's own maids.After finishing his official business, Li Chongjiu saw that Li Hubiezhi was running around in Huaihuang Town to manage the security agency, his face was much ruddy, obviously enjoying a good time in Yuyi Town.

During Li Hu's speech, he was very satisfied with Shi Deyun's daughter-in-law and granddaughter Pingping. At the same time, he reminded Li Chongjiu that it was time to add a baby to their Li family, so that Li Hu would not only let go of his worries, but also stabilize his subordinates The hearts of the soldiers and many forces collapsed because of the sudden death of the leader and the lack of heirs.And if Li Chongjiu and Shi Deyun have a son, then according to the agreement, Shi Dexi's future Khan position must be taken over by this son.

Li Chongjiu shook his head, his father's considerations were more realistic, but recently he and Shi Deyun had some conflicts, and they did. After returning, they were busy with business affairs, and the two hadn't seen each other a few times.So Li Chongjiu decided to go see Shi Deyun after taking a shower.In the room, Shi Deyun Zhengping and Pingping sat together, learning Chinese characters.As an instructor, Zhou Xu gave Ping Pingyi Wang Xizhi's teaching post and asked her to copy it.Shengjiaoxu's post has a rigorous structure, and it is also used by the academy to enlighten beginners.Shi Deyun fulfilled her duties as a mother very well, urging Pingping to practice calligraphy at home every day, and at the same time she also set an example to learn together with Pingping.

The nobles in the Shidexi tribe, that is, the tribal leaders, would ask Han people to teach them Chinese since they were young.This is because the five tribes of the Xi clan had the most contacts with the Han people, so compared with the ignorant Khitan people, the Xi people have a higher degree of Sinicization.Even if you don't talk about the head of the tribe, most of the herdsmen below can speak a sentence or two of Chinese, especially since Li Chongjiu established Huaihuang Town and established the Khanate.

On the one hand, the Han generals and soldiers worked hard to learn Turkic, and some of the recruited Fanjun also said that they learned Chinese.The second phase of the fan general training class managed by Zhou Xu has already completed.These graduated generals have already spoken hundreds of sentences in Chinese and can understand the simplest military orders. Of course, whether they can write or not is another matter.Of course, after Shi Deyun married Li Chongjiu, she also devoted herself to studying Sinology. Her Chinese is not bad, and now she is also working hard to learn calligraphy.

When Li Chongjiu walked out of the house, he saw this scene, and couldn't help but smile on his face. At this moment, the servant girl beside Deyun, who was studying ink, saw Li Chongjiu outside the window, knelt down and said politely: " See Khan."

Shi Deyun, Pingping heard the voice of the maidservant, and looked up together to see Li Chongjiu outside the window.Ping Ping threw the pen into the pen container, and ran out with his feet loose.Ping Ping is no longer the scrawny appearance of the past, and is becoming more and more slim. Wearing a lake blue lady's dress, he is extraordinarily pretty. He sees Li Chongjiu's crescent-like eyes slightly bent.

The most unexpected one is Shi Deyun. She doesn't wear a Hu suit, but a high-waisted skirt and a goose-yellow short jacket worn by women from a family in the Central Plains. Her beige complexion is fresh and healthy, and her hair is not combed into a whip. She is wearing the coiled bun most often worn by women in the Eastern Capital and Xijing, and she is exactly the attire of a newly married young woman.When I used to see Shi Deyun, I felt full of vigor, like the dewdrops in the morning, but this time, she was a bit demure and introverted, elegant and quiet.Especially the appearance of her carefully pinching up an inch of her sleeve corner just now, it is a kind of dignified and elegant.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said to Shi Deyun: "I'm not used to you doing this kind of dress for a while."

Shi Deyun shook her head, threw away the pen, and said angrily: "If you don't like it, I won't wear it like this in the future."

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "Okay, then you don't need to wear anything from now on."

Shi Deyun was ridiculed by Li Chongjiu, and immediately sat down angrily, while Pingping on the side stepped forward and nestled her head in Shi Deyun's arms, trying to make her happy.

Li Chongjiu knew Shi Deyun, she sometimes loses her temper on purpose, just wanting to coax her by herself, this carefulness can be seen through at a glance.Li Chongjiu thought that he came here today to talk about business, so he said: "Okay, okay, you will look like a fairy in this Hanfu."

"Really? You lied to me." Hearing Li Chongjiu's compliment, Shi Deyun's eyes lit up with joy.

Li Chongjiu nodded again, picked her up again, turned around and put her down.Only then was Shi Deyun satisfied.

Li Chongjiu touched Pingping's head, and said: "I'm not here, did you listen to what Eminem said?" Pingping tried hard to nod to Li Chongjiu, and Li Chongjiu and Shi Deyun couldn't help but smile with that serious look.

"It's getting late, it's time to go to bed." Shi Deyun put on a strict mother's appearance at this time, and Pingping obviously reunited with Li Chongjiu after a long absence, and wanted to chat with him for a while, but he didn't dare to violate Shi Deyun's attitude. What Deyun meant, she walked obediently to her bed right now.Li Chongjiu and Shi Deyun came to Pingping's bed, watched Pingping talking to her, and the child fell asleep soundly in a short time.

Shi Deyun immediately ordered the maid to fetch sandalwood, put it in the incense burner to repel mosquitoes, and covered Pingping with a quilt.And Shi Deyun and Li Chongjiu sat beside the flat bed.Li Chongjiu was drinking a bowl of drinks, while Shi Deyun rested his head on Li Chongjiu's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiu, this time it's about my mother."

This time the elders unanimously opposed Li Chongjiu, and Shi Deyun's mother remained neutral without opening her mouth.If it is understandable that other elders objected to Li Chongjiu, but as Li Chongjiu's mother-in-law, she did not express her position, which can explain a lot of problems.

Shi Deyun said: "Xiao Jiu, Eh-Mu has her own ideas on how to do it, so don't blame her for it."

Shi Deyun took Li Chongjiu's hand, obviously nervous about his opinion of her mother.Li Chongjiu was silent for a while. From the day he and Shi Deyun got married, their marriage was not their business. Now Li Chongjiu and Shi Deyun's marriage is related to the relationship between Han people and Hu people in this Khanate .
