Li Wenkang became more and more curious about the nephews, and he pulled the children around to ask for their health, until the servants came in to add lamp oil for the third time, and the children couldn't help yawning again and again, so Li Wenkang reluctantly let them go back rest.

As soon as she left the main courtyard, Li Nianyue regained her energy immediately, and muttered in a low voice: "Father is getting more and more nagging this time around." After speaking, she couldn't help but sighed.

Qi Qingxi rubbed her head and said, "Why are you sighing at such a young age?"

"My father is back, and my grandfather's family will definitely host another banquet. It's really annoying." Li Nianyue pouted.

When the Qi Qingxi brothers and sisters first arrived in the capital, Guo's natal family specially hosted a banquet for them. During the Chinese New Year, Guo took them to pay New Year's greetings, and even stayed at the mansion for two nights. The whole family treated them very politely.

If Guo Shi hadn't brought Li Nianyue back forcibly, she wouldn't even want to go home.

Why is it that now that her father is back, she finds it bothersome to go to her grandfather's house?

"It's just going to your grandfather's house for a meal, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Cousin, you don't know, I'm annoying my cousin." Li Nianyue sighed, and suddenly realized that what she said was wrong. The person in front of her was also a cousin, so she immediately changed her words, "I didn't mean you."

Li Nianyue slightly tilted her head to look at Qi Qingxi, and said with a smile: "Anyway, Dad just said that we will be brothers and sisters from now on, so I'll call you sister like Ah Nuan, so as not to mistake the person."

"Sister, I'm talking about the cousin from my aunt's house. She looks like a high-ranking lady all day long. When you talk to her a few words, her eyes grow to the top of her head." Li Nianyue stretched out her hand and pointed at the top of her head exaggeratedly. .

She hummed softly again: "There's also my uncle, but after studying for a few years, he looks down upon Father every now and then, and my cousin..."

Qi Qingxi thought for a long time, but she couldn't match the cousin Li Nianyue complained about with the people she had met in the Guo Mansion before, so she asked, "Why didn't I see you at your grandfather's house before?" This cousin?"

"My uncle has been working as an official outside, and this year it happens that his three-year term will return to Beijing to report on his duties."

It turned out to be the case.

Here, Li Nianyue was venting her dissatisfaction with her cousin's uncle's family, while her father Li Wenkang was also discussing her brother-in-law with his wife.

"Relying on his family background, he puts on the airs of a scholar all day long, saying why he doesn't want to be with a reckless warrior like me. If it wasn't for a reckless warrior like me who went to the front line to defend his family and the country, he would still be able to sit at home and study with peace of mind." Shit book."

Guo has long been used to her husband's dissatisfaction with her brother-in-law. To be honest, she doesn't like that pretentious brother-in-law very much, but she is her own sister's family after all, so she has to bear it if she doesn't like it.

"Then my father is hosting a banquet, are you going or not?" Guo said.

Li Wenkang handed the robe that he took off to Mrs. Guo, and said proudly: "Go, why not go, this is a dust-cleaning banquet specially arranged for me by my father-in-law, of course I will go."

Then put his hands on his back and said with emotion: "When I came to propose marriage, no one in your family looked down on me. Only my old father-in-law praised me for my good character and a person worthy of entrustment for life. He is willing to marry you to me."

Mrs. Guo hung the clothes on Mu Shi and replied with a smile: "My father really likes you. I took Qingxi and the others back to Beijing, and he specially asked Yanping to pick us up at the pier. Do you see who are my sisters? You are the only one who gets this kind of treatment when your relatives come."

Li Wenkang laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Father-in-law treats me like this, and it's not in vain that I spent a lot of effort to find a few jars of fine wine from the Western Regions to honor his old man."

Seeing that he was so proud, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but joked: "There is someone else who has my father's heart now, not only you are not as good as him, even Yan Ping and Yuan Hao have to lean back."

Li Wenkang knows that his father-in-law has always looked at children with good character and learning in his family. As far as he knows, his father-in-law's favorites are Yuan Hao from his family and Guo Yanping from his brother-in-law's family.

He didn't say much about his own children, but Yanping's child was indeed well-behaved and intelligent since he was a child.

He had thought about marrying his eldest niece to Yanping before, but although Yanping was good, his mother was not a cheap lamp, and he was afraid that his niece would be tortured if she married her.

Or Gu Shoubei was more to his liking, he was a nice guy, he had few things at home, and he lived close together, except for that family background...but it was still acceptable, but it was a pity that he was not interested in mentioning it a few times.

Maybe it's because Gu Shoubei has never met his niece?

Just like he used to only know that Qingxi looks like her mother, but according to what he sees today, he looks like Gui, but looks better than her mother.

How about finding a chance for them to meet up?

That's not quite right, the Gu family boy is also attractive, if he really doesn't like his niece, but the niece judges people based on their appearance and insists that he won't marry, then it won't be beautiful.

"Guess who this person is." Guo Shi on the side talked to him, but didn't hear a reply for a long time, and couldn't help but pat him twice, "What are you thinking, I don't care about anyone talking to you."

"Ah?" Li Wenkang came back to his senses, smiled and embraced Guo Shi and said, "Which of your brothers and sisters' children are so promising?"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she no longer bothered with him about being inattentive and ignoring others, and just smiled softly and said, "You Wang Po, who else's child is so promising, isn't it your child."

Li Wenkang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he reacted, his eyes narrowed into a smile and said, "Is it Yun Ming or Yun Hui?"

"Of course it's Yun Ming. Although Yun Hui is also smart, his mind is all about practicing martial arts. He is just waiting for you to come back and teach him martial arts. On the other hand, it is Yun Ming. We have only been in Beijing for a few days, and he came to find me. Ask about entering the academy."

It happened that Guo's natal family hosted a banquet for them, so Guo brought the two children to Guo Jijiu, and Guo Jijiu passed the school examination for the two children.

Yun Hui came out of the study soon, and Yun Ming stayed in the study for nearly an hour, Guo Jijiu brought Yun Ming out, and his eyes couldn't hide his admiration.

"You will send Yunming to report to the Imperial College tomorrow." Guo Jijiu said to his daughter, "Yunhui, you should be sent to the clan school first, and you will study with Mr. Xuetang for a few years before discussing."

Since then, Guo Jijiu has called Yunming to go to other places for advice every once in a while.

Guo couldn't help but said: "Apart from a few children of my own family, the last one who was so favored by my father was Gu Zicong. Although Gu Zicong is also smart, my father still looks at the emperor's face."

When Li Wenkang heard Guo's mention of Gu Zicong, his thoughts just rested again: "If you don't tell me, I will forget that this Gu Zicong is also your father's favorite student. Every time there is a banquet in your family, your father will put those few Invite the favorite student to your home, I remember meeting him before, will you also invite him this time?"

At that time, he just needs to find a way to let Gu Zicong see Qingxi, and prevent Qingxi from seeing Gu Zicong, right?

"Of course I did." It's just that if someone invites you ten times, it doesn't mean that you will come once.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Guo thought that Qi Qingxi had asked her about a person named Gu before. The name seemed to be two characters, what was the name Gu?
