Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 289
"I vaguely know that my father didn't hide it from me. Although I am not as smart as my elder brother, I am still my father and mother's child. I am my elder brother's younger brother. How can I be so stupid?"

Li Chun couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Are you praising yourself, or are you praising everyone in your family?"

The heavy atmosphere in the study made Li Jin liven up a lot.

He smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, I may be lacking in other things, but the word 'self-knowledge' is very clear, and I will not do anything to embarrass my brother. Whether it is before, now, or in the future As well."

The study suddenly fell silent, Li Chun sighed, and broke the silence: "Aren't you unwilling? After I enter the palace, I will control the entire Qing Kingdom. I am above ten thousand people, and I will no longer be inferior to others. Even Daddy , and can’t be restrained. He gave up being a king, and now he can only be a minister. There is a difference between a monarch and a minister, so my brother won’t be tempted?”

"It would be a lie to say that I can't be moved. After all, Daddy is my dream. Making him bow his head is something I also want to do in my dreams. But Daddy can give up, so can I. I know very well that I don't want to give up. It's suitable to sit on that chair, but the eldest brother seems to be there naturally." The smile on Li Jin's lips did not diminish at all, and he looked at Li Chun.

"Brother, don't worry about me. If you feel guilty, you can just say a few good words for me in front of your parents in the future. You can reduce the four books and five classics, and stop copying big characters a hundred times. That's enough."

Li Chun was not amused by him, because he was worried that Li Jin was duplicity and secretly wanted to get that seat away.

He was even more worried that this would be unfair to Li Jin.

"It's just Dad's decision. I don't think my younger brother may not have this talent."

As soon as Li Chun finished speaking, Li Jin waved his hands again and again: "Brother really beat me, if Mr. hears this, I will definitely copy it two hundred times tomorrow, so that I can catch up with my brother."

Li Jin shrank his neck involuntarily when he thought of the strict gentleman who hated iron and steel.

The husband is most looking forward to him being able to obtain fame and fame like his elder brother, but it is a pity that Li Jin is not interested in these at all.

Seeing his shrinking appearance, Li Chun said softly: "My parents have favored me since I was a child, I always feel sorry, did my brother ever blame me?"

"It happened before, who doesn't want to be favored by his parents?" Li Jin didn't continue to make jokes, put away the smirk on his face, looked at Li Chun and said seriously: "When I was young, I always wondered that my parents always turned to my elder brother and stayed with me all day long." , I was not angry. One day I quarreled for the nanny to take you to your yard, and saw you lying weakly on the couch, and the room smelled of crying medicine. The elder brother’s face was as white as paper, and he was weak. Mother is with you Straight to tears."

"At that time, I felt that I was so happy to be able to run and dance. If I had to lie down and be sick all the time, I would be able to get the favor of my parents. I would rather not have it. Seeing my elder brother in such pain, I can't even fall asleep. I frowned, and had a high fever at night. The nanny was afraid of getting sick, so she took me away, and I sneaked to your couch while the maid was asleep. Thinking that my eldest brother was born before me, but he was far smaller than me. It should be pity."

"When we grew up, I learned that my father was going to put the heavy burden on my elder brother's shoulders. What I thought at the time was not reconciliation, but a sigh of relief, and then guilt. It is obvious that my elder brother has such a weak body, but he has to carry such a heavy burden. But my elder brother is smarter than me, if I stay, it would be a waste.”

Li Chun listened quietly, it had been a long time since he had such a long talk with Li Jin, and he never knew what his younger brother was thinking.

Now that he is being honest, he realizes that his younger brother already knew how to be by his side when he was very young, and he is not jealous, let alone unwilling, but full of guilt and pity.

He closed his eyes, suppressing the moisture in his eyes.

Because of his weak bones, Li Chun lay on the couch for too long, and he always liked to think wildly.

Dr. Fu once said that he was over-thinking, which actually put a heavy burden on his body.Only by relaxing your mind can you make your body stronger.

Now that I think about it, I really think too much.

His younger brother, his father and mother's other son, how bad is his mentality?
In the end, it was just his worrying.

Li Chun opened his eyes again, walked over and held Li Jin's hand tightly, and said cautiously: "You know, giving up does not mean that you are really free. After I enter the palace, because of the similar appearance, maybe you will spend the rest of your life Live with your face covered. Even so, don't you mind?"

"It's nothing to cover up your appearance. I've thought about it a long time ago. Acting like a baby with my mother, I asked for the mask that my father once wore. How majestic it is to wear!" Li Jin didn't care, waved his hands and said: "Just put on the mask That's all, but it's much easier than big brother."

This mask of his can still be taken off, but the mask that Li Chun puts on in front of others may not be able to take off for the rest of his life.

Just thinking about it, Li Jin felt that he had taken a huge advantage.

Li Chun said again: "Besides wearing a mask, you can't even be an official."

"I haven't been interested in the court for a long time. If there is a war, I will join the army. I will start as a soldier and climb up slowly just like my father step by step. At that time, let alone a mask, it will be just me. If you have meritorious deeds in killing the enemy, you will be hired in an exceptional way." Li Jin looked at him and said with a smile: "At that time, I will have to ask my elder brother to promote me, just don't make things difficult for me."

After listening, Li Chun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Jin sullenly: "Brother, don't think too much, you feel guilty because you have taken advantage of it, but I think brother is wronged. The Regent's Palace has always said that I have A son, I will be the only one who inherits in the future, the name of the eldest brother is not on the genealogy, and the names of future children can only be recorded on the jade plate."

He paused, and then said: "My mother once told me that when I was pregnant with our brother, my eldest brother was almost squeezed by me and had no place to stay. Fortunately, he was nursed by Doctor Fu and he was able to be born safely. Even in the stomach I bullied my elder brother when I was young, and my elder brother didn't bother with me, so why are you so angry now?"

After all, Li Chun was still amused by Li Jin, and he even used the things before his birth as a topic of conversation, and he really didn't care: "You are so young, and you are still in the womb of your mother, how can you give up your seat to me?" What about it? It’s hard for you to always remember what happened to Jiu Yuan.”

"I always remember. I never dare to forget every bit of my elder brother being with me." Especially when Ruan Jingxin vaguely revealed that he would send Li Chun to the palace, Li Jin cherished the years of living with him. moon.

When we meet again in the future, Li Chun is not his eldest brother, but the prince, who will be the emperor in a few years.

Li Jin is the eldest son of the regent, and from now on he will only be Li Chun's courtier, every time he meets a stranger, he wants to kneel down in submission to Li Chun.

It's like getting along with ordinary brothers like this, every day is one day less.

After all, Li Chun suddenly realized, he clenched his fist and hammered Li Jin's shoulder, promising: "No matter what you look like on the surface, you are the best brother in my heart!"

"Well, good brother!" Seeing him smiling, Li Jin also clenched his fist and gave Li Chun a hard hammer on the shoulder.

"Ahem——" Li Chun took a step back after being thumped, and coughed.

Li Jin was at a loss for a while, carefully supported him and said: "It's okay, I don't have any attention for a while."

"It's okay, I'm teasing you." Li Chun stopped coughing immediately, and smiled slyly at him.

"Okay, you lied to me, see if I don't teach you a lesson!" Li Jin knew that he was the most ticklish, so he rushed forward and scratched Li Chun's back.

"Haha, let go, let go quickly—" Li Chun was pressed under him, laughing heartily, with tears in his eyes, he pushed Li Jin away vigorously, but was exhausted by the scratching, so he could only laugh loudly.

Qingxin was startled when she heard Li Chun's laughter outside the courtyard.

This eldest young master always has a tight face in front of people, and the majesty all over his body grows stronger with age.

She was a maid bought from outside the mansion after Xue Yan left, and she knew what to listen to and what to say after being beaten by Xue Ling's ground, she shrank her neck immediately, and smiled.

The eldest young master is only ten years old, although his mature appearance is a bit intimidating, there is nothing wrong with laughing so freely now.

The two made a fuss in the study room, which soon reached Ruan Jingxin's ears. He and Xie Yanniang smiled at each other.

Their children really did not disappoint.
