Chapter 440 I'm Happy
Seeing Li Chongjiu laughing, Li Hu came to his senses and said with a straight face: "Are you laughing at your father and me?"

Li Chongjiu restrained his smile and said: "How dare you, let's not talk about anything else, it's cold outside, come to the house to warm up."

Li Hu nodded, and entered the room together with Li Chongjiu.

Before he crossed the threshold, he saw the lights in the corridor flickering. It turned out that Yang Ehuang was wearing an emerald green waistcoat and a middle coat, and came hurriedly from the inner room, followed by more than a dozen maidservants.She obviously just heard the news that Li Hu came to the house.

Li Hu stopped, and Yang Ehuang came in front of Li Hu, knelt down and said: "Daughter-in-law pays homage to father-in-law."

Behind him, the old lady, the servant girl, knelt down and said: "My lord! My lord!"

Seeing this, Li Hu helped Yang Ehuang up and said: "It's cold on the ground, but I can't kneel."

Yang Ehuang said: "I heard that the father-in-law came, so he was eager and didn't wear more clothes. Why didn't the father-in-law notify in advance, and let the husband and daughter-in-law greet him earlier."

Li Hu nodded and said: "I came here to congratulate Wu'er on his ascension to the throne of King Zhao. I was in a hurry and didn't do everything well. I forgot to explain."

Yang Ehuang lowered his head and said: "How dare you blame the father-in-law, the father-in-law said so, it will ruin the daughter-in-law. My husband and I look forward to it day and night in Youzhou, but I hope to serve your old man's knees to show filial piety."

Li Hu said: "It is enough for you to have this kind of heart. You are the princess of the dynasty, with golden branches and jade leaves. You are married to my Xiaojiu, and we are the top of our Li family. If there is any discomfort, please feel free You are so understanding."

Li Chongjiu's face changed when he heard this, and he said, "Father, Ehuang..."

Yang Ehuang hurriedly said: "Elder-in-law, although Ehuang is the emperor's daughter, but the queen mother taught her since childhood that she obeyed her father at home and obeyed her husband when she got married. Wife Gang."

Yang Ehuang looked rather terrified.

Li Hu nodded slowly after hearing this, Li Chongjiu was about to explain, soon footsteps sounded, and another pair of maids came with lanterns, it turned out that Shi Deyun also came with Li Ying in his arms.

Seeing the joy on Li Ying's face, Li Hu laughed, hugged Li Ying from Shi Deyun's arms, and said, "You miss Grandpa."

Li Ying looked sleepy and didn't answer.

Shi Deyun was about to wake Li Ying up, but Li Hu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't wake me up, I'm sleeping soundly."

Speaking of which, Li Hu took out a precious knife inlaid with precious stones from his bosom, handed it to Shi Deyun and said: "I exchanged a hundred altars of Huaihuang wine from the Zuoxian King of Turkic on the grassland. Just give it to my grandson as a plaything."

Shi Deyun hurriedly said: "Eunuch, this ceremony is too heavy."

"A family, what kind of gift is important? If you don't like it, it's not as good as Fantie. On the other hand, if you like clay and clay, it's gold and jade."

As soon as Li Hu said this, Yang Ehuang's expression darkened immediately. Li Chongjiu felt a little distressed when he saw it, and said, "Father, didn't you say you have something to say to me?"

When Li Hu saw Li Ying, he was obviously in a good mood. After seeing Shi Deyun's little golden knife, he said: "Hurry up and take it back to the room, don't freeze. You are too, I am an old man, but I just come to the door, there is no need It's such a hard work, it's getting late, hurry back to your room to rest, I have a few words with Xiaojiu."

Li Chongjiu said: "Tomorrow there will be a banquet in the mansion, please invite Wei Shijun, General Wang and others to come together."

Everyone agreed together, and then withdrew.

When Li Chongjiu saw Yang Ehuang, Shi Deyun went back together, and then came to the room with Li Hu.

Close the door tightly to keep out the cold wind. There are only Li Hu and Li Chongjiu in the room.

Li Chongjiu first picked up the tongs to stir the charcoal fire, Li Hu took off his leather gloves, put his hands on the charcoal fire to warm up.

The room gradually became hot, Li Chongjiu raised his head and asked, "Father, why did you come to Youjing suddenly at this time?"

Li Hu smiled, pinched his beard and said: "Could it be that Dad misses his son and grandson, can't you? I know Huaihuang, the second town of Yuyi is where your hard work is. Your second uncle is now the governor of Ruoshui Prefecture , Huaihuang, the second town of Yuyi, I can rest assured that I will leave it to him, and there is nothing wrong now, so I will be lazy and come to Youzhou to visit my son and grandson."

Li Chongjiu smiled bitterly and said: "If outsiders listen to this, they must think that I don't want your father and you to come to Youjing to enjoy this family happiness. Then I would venture to ask, this time the child's enthronement ceremony, the queen's canonization ceremony is nothing more than that." Why did you refuse to come when I sent letters to Huaihuang Town three times when I married Ehuang?"

Li Hu said: "Today, our father and I are happy, so we don't talk about these things."
Li Chongjiu said solemnly: "Could it be that there is something wrong with Ehuang that you don't like?"

After hearing this, Li Hu was silent for a while, took out a wine gourd from his pocket, took a sip, and said: "My daughter-in-law, I just met, there is nothing wrong with it, but if I want to say something good, I can't mention it." superior?"

Li Hu clearly confirmed that he had a prejudice against Yang Ehuang. Li Chongjiu asked: "Where does this start? When I was going to marry Yun'er, I was worried about Hua Yi's defense. You refused to accept it. You told me Well, a big man marries a wife, and it’s not about horse breeding. It depends on her background. She married into my Li family, so you treat her as your own daughter, let alone Ying’er, but why did you look so strange when Ehuang came just now? The reason is indifferent, as if treating her as an outsider."
Li Hu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and turned to come to the case, and then asked: "Xiao Jiu, I accept Xiao Yun, not for other reasons, but I can see that you are in love with each other. You must know that our old Li's family background is not very good. In this way, you and your brothers raised their heads to lay down this piece of land."

"But have you ever thought about it? Princess Changle is a nobleman of the Tian Family and the daughter of the Son of Heaven. If it wasn't for the time of trouble, how could she look up to a rough guy like us who came from a rough background? And her elder brother is said to be ambitious too. Brother, you stay by my side..."

Li Chongjiu was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Father, what you said is that I married the princess only because I coveted her beauty and illustrious background."

Li Hu hurriedly said: "You are definitely not such a person. You have your own considerations in marrying the princess as your official wife. If you want to win the support of court officials and nobles to become king and emperor, you must choose a noble woman as your wife. In this way, you will be famous and righteous in the future. As a man, you should put the great cause first. Three wives and four concubines are also normal. I don’t blame you for this, but why did you make her the main wife? "
Li Chongjiu was to be refuted. He wanted to tell Li Hu that Yang Ehuang did not marry him because he was greedy for comfort.But when he heard Miss Li Jiasan, Li Chongjiu stuffed his mouth, the words in his chest were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak out immediately.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's expression, Li Hu heaved a long sigh and patted his thigh.

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath and said, "Father, do you think I can be with Sanniang if I don't marry the princess?"

Li Hu looked at Li Chongjiu and said, "Xiao Jiu, I didn't mean to blame you, but I just felt that we owed her. I've heard that when you were imprisoned by Li Yuan in Jinyang Palace, she did not hesitate to sever the relationship between father and daughter with Li Yuan." In the name of elopement, I went to Xijing to intercede with Silitai on your behalf, hoping that the imperial court can forgive you."

"Now she is in Chang'an, but she is still unmarried. I just think Xiao Jiu is not suitable for you at this time... No matter what, we can't let her down."

Hearing what Li Hu said, Li Chongjiu didn't say anything, stood up, walked to the window, and propped it up.

Snowflakes rushed into the house with the wind, and the cold wind and snow hit his face, which relieved Li Chongjiu's hot and dry heart slightly.

The letter entrusted to Jianxue back then has not been heard so far. Although she doesn't know the reason, she hopes that Li Zhiwan can give herself an explanation.These years, Li Chongjiu was busy fighting everywhere, and gradually faded away. This time, Li Hu's old story was brought up again, which made Li Chongjiu have mixed feelings at the moment.

Li Chongjiu said: "Father, you misunderstood Ehuang. It's all my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to you beforehand. Ehuang didn't plot anything with me. She could have entered the pass..."

At the moment Li Chongjiu explained clearly the ins and outs of his relationship with Yang Ehuang.

Li Chongjiu said again: "After our husband and wife got married, the piano and the harp played harmoniously. Of course, Ehuang was a bit petty, but she was not as pampered as the princess she imagined. No matter how she treated Yun'er, Li Ying, or even the servants and maids, she treated them very well. Generous. Such a virtuous woman is enough to look good in the world, and she can take care of the harem for me in the future."

Li Hu was silent after hearing this.

At dawn the next day, Li Chongjiu and Li Huwo talked in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep for a while, but the Ministry of Zhongshu sent an urgent report on the military situation in northern Saibei, so he woke up early in the morning to deal with official duties.

After dealing with it, Li Chongjiu came to the courtyard, but saw Yang Ehuang in the garden of the courtyard in the morning light.

Li Chongjiu walked aside, only then did the dedicated Yang Ehuang realize it.

"What are you doing?" Li Chongjiu asked with a smile.

"My concubine is collecting snow on the leaves, and I heard that snow water makes tea better, so I want to collect some to make tea for my husband and father-in-law."
Li Chongjiu said: "Just leave this matter to the servants, why do you have to do it yourself, the cold wind is steep."

"Sincere sincerity leads to spirit, and I want to do it myself, so maybe my father-in-law will change his mind about me, a spoiled royal princess. What about my father-in-law?"

"Well, I went out early in the morning, saying that I was meeting the old brothers from Qiqianzhai back then."

"Is that so," Yang Ehuang asked sadly, "I won't be attending the family banquet either."

"Yes," Li Chongjiu looked at Yang Ehuang's expression, took out a jade bracelet from his bosom and said, "Take it."

Yang Ehuang saw that the jade bracelet was not of good quality, but he rubbed it often, it was obviously something that had been kept by his side for a long time.

Li Chongjiu said: "My father asked me to hand it over to you with my own hands. He said that it was my mother's belongings and was going to hand it over to my daughter-in-law. Now he asks me to hand it over to you to fulfill this wish."

After hearing this, Yang Ehuang raised his head suddenly, his eyes were sparkling, crystal clear as if there were tears in them, and asked: "Does sister Shide have this bracelet?"

"That doesn't seem to be the case. What's the matter?"

"No, I'm very happy." Yang Ehuang wiped away tears and smiled through his tears.

PS: Finally, let me say this again, this book is a cool article, not a tragedy. As for the children's shoes that ask Li Chongjiu if he will be with Li Zhiwan, don't ask again. I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation.
