Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 287

In the first snow in winter, a young man in brocade clothes, about ten years old, came from outside the mansion. He was wearing a fox fur cloak, only showing a handsome face.The face is especially immature, but the eyes are black and quiet, and the brows are mature.

On the other hand, the young boy Lang who was following behind was about the same age, but a head taller than him, with a strong body, wearing a thin long robe, not even a cloak, and with a trace of anxiety in his smile, he was begging in a low voice: "Strong, please do it!" Alright, tonight Daddy will check my homework. If I haven’t recited it this time, I’ll have to copy it a hundred times.”

"How many times have I told you, don't call me by that nickname anymore, you don't have to be a joke." Daming Li Chun turned his head and glared at him, then glanced at the two maidservants not far away.

The servant girl lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, obviously even if she heard it, she just pretended she didn't hear it.

Li Jin scratched his head and complained: "Why didn't you say 'no' when mother called you?"

Looking up and seeing Li Chun's eyes, Li Jin immediately said: "Okay, I know, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, just help me pass this level first."

Li Chun sighed, shook his head and said: "Rotten wood can't be carved, even if I help you in a hurry, you may not be able to pass the test of your father, it's better to let nature take its course."

As soon as Li Jin choked up, he knew that the elder brother would not help him, so he sighed repeatedly.

But Li Chun is both civil and military, he can speak at the age of one, memorize a thousand-character prose at the age of three, compose poems at the age of five, pass the children's test at the age of eight, and be a scholar at the age of ten. Comparable to himself slightly worse.

Li Jin, who was a little dissatisfied with this elder brother when he was a child, now has no choice but to be dissatisfied.

It is true that Li Chun is smart, but today's achievements are inseparable from his daily hard work.

Sometimes Li Jin felt that Li Chun was as hardworking as he could die, which made him a little terrified.

After all, Li Chun was too cruel to him.

"My good brother, just help me once." Li Jin was helpless, if he couldn't recite it, he would be happy to ask him to practice martial arts for two more hours.

It's just copying the book a hundred times. After a whole day, it's more tiring than holding a sword. I have to crush several brushes, and my face is stained with ink everywhere like ghost symbols.

He touched his face and sighed repeatedly.

Li Chun couldn't see Li Jin's sighing appearance, and finally softened his heart: "It's just this one time, don't make another example."

Li Jin immediately smiled: "I knew that brother is the best!"

"Don't be so talkative, you will call me brother at this time." Li Chun smacked his forehead sullenly, Li Jin only grinned, he couldn't help himself, and soon followed suit.

Following Li Chun into the study, Li Jin could not help but feel a headache when he saw a table of documents.

He leaned over to have a look, and couldn't help being surprised: "This is a memorial in Daddy's room, why did you come to Brother?"

Li Chun was about to move the paperwork aside to make room for it, but when he heard Li Jin's words, he couldn't help but twitch:
"Daddy sent someone to bring it over, let me take a look..."

Li Jin smiled nonchalantly, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, shook his head and said, "Thank you, I started to have a headache just looking at the densely packed words on the memorial, it's hard for you to read so much."

"How do you know I've finished reading it?" Li Chun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked back.

"Look at these memorials, they are not piled up randomly, they have been sorted out by someone." Li Jin smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked, and the similarity between the two faces was even more obvious under the candlelight.

It's just that Li Chun is thinner, his skin is fair and somewhat frail, while Li Jin's complexion is tanned to a honey color, and his body is strong.

He smiled heartlessly, pointed to the far left end and said: "We were born together, and many habits are still the same. For example, I like to put the important ones on the left and the rest on the right, am I right? "

"That's right, that's right." Li Chun also smiled, with a bit of thought in his eyes: "I used to think how could you be so dull, and you would always be reprimanded by your father every time you were assessed. Take care."

Li Jin shook his head like a rattle, and said fearfully: "I don't understand how you can stay in the study for a whole day without moving. I just sit for an hour, and I feel uncomfortable all over." , don’t let daddy lock me in the study, he will drive me crazy.”

"It's good to have you share the worries for daddy, and I will continue to be a persistent disciple, eating and drinking, anyway, you and daddy will support the sky when the sky falls."

Li Chun wanted to say something else, but the maid's exquisite voice came from outside the door: "Master, the princess is here to invite you."

"Mother must have come to ask us to have dinner together, but we were too late to talk." Without saying a word, Li Jin turned around and raised the curtain to go out, followed by Li Chun.

Linglong first held up the cloak for Li Chun to put on, and then stuffed a purple gold hand stove in his hand.

Li Chun looked at Li Jin who was striding away, and at his own thin body.Even with the hand stove in his arms, his hands are still somewhat cool.

He knew that Li Jin was very dangerous when he was born, if the ghost doctor hadn't arrived, maybe he wouldn't have a younger brother in this world.

It's just that Li Chun almost couldn't keep it when he was in the mother's womb, on the contrary, he was weaker than Li Jin.

Even though Dr. Fu has been helping with the treatment for so many years, he can still see some improvement. Even the maids and women around him are ready to take care of everything meticulously.

When Li Jin walked to the door, he didn't see Li Chun following him, so he couldn't help but stop and wait for him.

Li Chun let Linglong wrap her cloak tightly before walking over.

With Linglong holding an umbrella behind her, the two arrived in front of the courtyard one after the other.

Li Jin stomped his feet and was about to go in, but Linglong asked a little maid to wait for Li Chun to put on a pair of clean boots.

The eldest son is weak, he walked in the snow for a while, and his boots got wet, if he didn't change it, he would catch a cold.

Li Chun frowned, and signaled Linglong to change a pair for Li Jin as well.

Even if Li Jin is in better health, it's better to be careful in such a cold day.

Li Jin changed into it impatiently, and waited for Li Chun for a while, letting him go in first.

At the head of the front hall sat a noble lady, wearing an emerald green peacock embroidered dress, a pair of jasper bracelets on her white wrists, and a white jade hairpin pinned to her hair.

There were not many jewelry on her body, but her face was even more beautiful, with a bit of nobility in her brows, and a pleasant arc appeared on her lips when the two of them came in.

It's just that her eyes fell on Li Chun, she couldn't help but frowned, beckoned him to come to her, grabbed Li Chun's hands, and asked with concern: "Why are Zhuang Zhuang's hands still so cold, but why are they so cold? With a hand stove?"

Linglong hurriedly confessed, Li Chun replied obediently: "Mother, I always carry the hand stove, but my child's hands and feet are cold in winter."

Xie Yanniang held his hand, dragged him to sit beside him, and didn't let go: "Did you take Doctor Fu's medicine on time?"

"Yes, mother." Li Chun replied obediently, and sat next to Xie Yanniang, and after a while, he felt extremely warm all over, and then took off his cloak, revealing the moon-white brocade dress inside.

Xie Yanniang touched the material of the clothes on his body, it was indeed thick enough, so she let go of her heart.

After caring about the eldest son, she looked at Li Jin and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, and the stone has grown taller again. I learned riding and shooting from General Baihu, but did you seriously hear about it? Don't let General Baihu treat you down." expectations."

"Mother, General Baihu praised me yesterday, saying that I am a natural born soldier, like a father." Li Jin smiled proudly, if it weren't for the peace of the country, if he went to war, he would definitely make contributions on the battlefield.

The smile on Xie Yanniang's lips faded a little, feeling that Li Chun's hands in her palms were finally warm, she let go, and signaled the maid behind her to bring ginger tea, so that the two children could also drink it to warm their bodies.

Li Chun finished drinking half a bowl of ginger tea, and then said: "Now that the world is at peace, where will there be wars?"

The Rong people were driven far away, and now they cannot leave the grassland for five hundred miles, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

As for the small countries around the Qing Kingdom, who didn't bow down to them, and who would dare to offend them?

Li Jin showed regret, but then he said happily: "The General Protector specially picked a pony for me from the war horses sent by Lian Kingdom, and I asked him to choose another one for my brother."

When he got something good, he would always be willing to share it with Li Chun.

Even a good horse does not allow itself to be monopolized.

Xie Yanniang was satisfied with what she heard, and she liked to see the appearance of the two brothers and friends the most.

Li Chun heard the war horse and nodded with a smile: "Then thank you brother, and thank General Baihu for me. Speaking of which, Lian Kingdom sent the war horse early this year."

"Indeed, it's usually only in the beginning of spring." Li Jin noticed the difference, and admired Li Chun for always seeing the important points at the first time, which he couldn't catch up with even if he flattered him.

"Chun'er thinks, why is Lian Kingdom like this?" Ruan Jingxin strode in in a fine attire, and Li Chun naturally stood up to give him his seat.

Ruan Jingxin sat down beside Xie Yanniang, looked at Li Chun with burning eyes, and waited for his answer.

Li Chun knew that his father was starting to test himself, so he thought about it before answering: "Lian Kingdom suddenly changed the time to send the war horses, it must be due to changes in the middle school. In order to keep these war horses, they simply sent them to Qing Kingdom earlier. But it’s also about getting attention.”

Ruan Jingxin nodded, expressing agreement: "If it were you, how would you deal with it?"

"Send someone to infiltrate Lian Country to inquire about it, and then let someone keep an eye on the movements of the Rong people." Li Chun thought for a while, and replied without hesitation.

"How could you think that the matter of Lian Kingdom must have something to do with the Rong people?" Ruan Jingxin was secretly satisfied. This eldest son has always been smart, but it is really rare to be able to make a mistake right away at the beginning.

"Lian Country is adjacent to the Rong Clan. Since something happened to Lian Country, it must be inseparable from the Rong Clan." Li Chun frowned, wondering if the Rong Clan was provoking a fight in Lian Country?
"The new emperor of Lian Kingdom has been on the throne for more than ten years. His political achievements are mediocre and not brilliant, but it is not too bad. It's just that the new emperor has twelve sons under his knees. Whether they are old or young, the mother clan is one. It is stronger than the first one. In addition, the new emperor is in his prime, so he has no intention of appointing a prince. With a little provocation, the mother clan behind the dozen or so princes will definitely not give in to each other."

The inside is in chaos, who knows if someone will take the risk and cooperate with the wolf-like Rong people?
Although the Rong people couldn't leave, they couldn't stop someone from sneaking over to ask for help and exchange information.
