When I woke up, I was fine

This time Mrs. Dou was even more worried, "Who agrees that you go to Korea with your father?"

During the Eastern Expedition to Koryo, ten people went to go and one returned. A young boy like Li Jiancheng, who is still young and has never been on a battlefield and does not know the dangers, will not come back in all likelihood.

Even Li Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, "Nonsense, you don't discuss this important matter with me, how can you decide on your own."

Li Jiancheng replied, "My son has already made up his mind. Your lord should stop reprimanding him. Moreover, the armor and weapons have already been ordered, and they will be brought back in a few days."

After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but blame Mrs. Dou, "A loving mother is a loser, have you given him money yet?"

Mrs. Dou shook her head, "Master, the family is already so impoverished, how can there be money for these children to squander?"

The husband and wife looked at Li Jiancheng at the same time, "Where did you get the money from?"

"My son borrowed it from someone... from Mrs. Cao's family."

Li Yuan heard all kinds of feelings in his heart, but said in his mouth, "You are promising and capable, and you actually asked someone else to borrow money from a young lady."

After finishing speaking, he regretted that he shouldn't have spoken so hard to his son, so he stepped forward and put his arm around Li Jiancheng's shoulder.

"Father didn't blame you just now, but was angry. That family didn't know gold and jade. Your mother discussed with the Cao family about your marriage with the eldest lady of their family, but they refused. If it wasn't for the reason The child is really innocent and cute, how could we marry a child from that kind of family."

After Li Jiancheng heard this, he quickly looked at Mrs. Dou, and Mrs. Dou nodded.

"This matter is over like this. The marriage proposal between the two families should not be mentioned in the future. It is not good for the children to spread it. How much money did you borrow from others in Jiancheng? I still have a set of gold ornaments. You can take them." Give it to her, or take it and sell it quietly, and return the money to others.”

"Why did your lord and mother fall in love with the eldest lady of Cao's family?" Li Jiancheng wanted to ask, what's so good about that little lady, like a gentleman, that she is worth remembering by mother and father.

Madam Dou didn't want to say more, she rubbed her temples, "Let's not talk about this matter, you step back now."

Li Yuan said later, "Since the armor and weapons have been decided, take them back. You usually wear them at home, and get familiar with them immediately, so that you don't understand anything when you get them. As for the Eastern Expedition to Korea, don't even think about it. Not only you If you don’t go, you have to find a way not to go for your father.”

Li Jiancheng was kicked out by his parents, and he quickly came to the backyard to find Li Shimin.

"Have you heard? My parents want me to marry that eldest lady of the Cao family."

Li Shimin scratched his head, "If you marry, you can marry. It's just marrying a wife. I already have a fiancée, and you can't escape."

Speaking of which, I thought about it for a while, "She doesn't look like that mean little lady, but her heart is too bad. If you really marry her in the future, you have to make an agreement with her not to let her bully me and my younger siblings." ".

"If you think too much, they won't agree at all."

Li Shimin said angrily, "Why didn't she agree? Why didn't she agree? Is it because you are too ugly or because you are ignorant, my brother is so much better than others, are her eyes white?"

He was so angry that he was dying, Li Shimin panted heavily, and he also understood that the marriage is still decided by the parents, "The little lady and her mother are blind."

Li Xiuxiu walked over with Li Yuanji in her arms, "I guess their family also knows about our current situation. Besides the eldest grandson's family, who else would marry a girl into our family?"

The situation of the eldest grandson siblings is also not good. The two siblings live in their uncle's house, which can be regarded as dependents.Moreover, the two brothers and sisters followed their mother and were driven back by their half-brother.Although the surname is still Changsun, it has nothing to do with the entire Changsun family.

Li Shimin felt sorry for his fiancée, so he couldn't help snorting. Li Jiancheng comforted his younger siblings, "Our family is only going downhill, and it's definitely not at the end of the mountain. Don't think about it."

He also persuaded his younger brother, "Wait patiently for a few more years, and when you are old enough to take her into our home, she will naturally have a good life in the future."

Li Yuan and his wife in the front yard were sitting in front of the court. Seeing his wife still frowning, Li Yuan stroked his beard.

"From my point of view, that young lady has a good impression of Jiancheng," he couldn't help laughing at this point, "Jiancheng's appearance follows his wife, so I want to please some young ladies. Our son's good looks, If there is no shortage of wives in the future, madam, please don't show a sad face here."

"It's not what the master said. Mrs. Guan, the mother of Mrs. Cao's family, came to me that day. I saw that she didn't look like an ordinary woman, and the child she taught was not an ordinary child. But the facts have proved that The eldest lady is very clever and gets along well with our children. For me, this is really a good marriage. Regardless of family status, marrying such a wife does not wrong our son. I really I forgot that Mrs. Guan is different from ordinary women, she may have already seen the decline of our family."

In Li Yuan's view, women are so easy to think wildly, "I'm afraid Ma'am is thinking too much. No matter how powerful Madam Guan is, she is just a woman from the countryside."

Moreover, Li Yuan is not worried at all that his son will not be able to marry a wife. The Zheng family, which has not yet reached such a level, and has a good relationship with him, has made an appointment with him not long ago. If Jiancheng does not have a suitable wife, At that time, the daughter of their Zheng family is willing to marry into the Li family.

I told Mrs. Dou about this matter, and after hearing this, Mrs. Dou raised her eyebrows angrily, "You...you...".

It's entirely because Mrs. Dou's upbringing is too good that she can't point out Li Yuan. The Zheng family doesn't have a concubine daughter at all. Could it be that they want their son to marry a concubine daughter?Even if their family has a daughter-in-law, she hasn't been born yet, and it will be the year of the monkey when she is born.Is it possible that the eldest son will never get married in order to wait for someone else's girl?

Mrs. Dou cried out angrily, and Li Yuan was at a loss.

"Don't cry, Ma'am. If you are not satisfied, forget about it. I didn't tell outsiders about it. As far as our two families know, I have a good relationship with the brothers of the Zheng family. It is because of our good relationship that people say this." If you don't cry, ma'am, don't cry, don't cry."

Mrs. Dou wiped her tears angrily, "The Cao family rejected us, and the Zheng family didn't see us in the first place. It seems that we have to wait for my natal family."

Li Yuan was not very satisfied with the old man's family, but Mrs. Dou cried just now, so he didn't dare to say anything, "This kind of thing, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."

Then he took a sip of water, "I asked Madam, do you really like the girl from that family?"

Marrying a daughter-in-law often follows behind the mother-in-law, and this is the eldest son-in-law. In the future, the old couple will still need the eldest son to take care of them. Since ancient times, there have been many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If the wife likes a girl, she can work hard. Only when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious can they be quiet.

Mrs. Dou thought for a while, then nodded, "I really like the eldest lady of the Cao family. Whether it's her looks, her actions, her words or her facial expressions, I like her deeply...but what's the use of liking any more, alas."

"Ma'am, you shouldn't have talked to Mrs. Guan in the first place. I heard that Cao Bohang is the master of the Cao family. I also heard that the people of the Cao family were in trouble and came to him. This woman should be The daughter-in-law of the Cao family is now talking about marriage with Cao Bohang. Whether as an elder or as a stepfather, Cao Bohang is the one who can talk. I will invite him to our house tomorrow, or I will I ran into him once on the road. Even if our family is going downhill, we can clearly see that the power is still there, but it’s just a little bit of embarrassment. It’s like a big tree in winter. Yes. He will not refuse the marriage of the two families."

Mrs. Dou hesitated after hearing this, "My lady's mother is going to remarry. I shouldn't have said anything, but she married into the Cao family again. In the eyes of those sour Confucians, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. , some people, if their mouths are not clean, arrange that the two of them have their beginnings and ends. In order to become a husband and wife together, they slaughtered the whole family...Master, rumors are spreading, will our son be implicated by then? "

"They are not from the same place. Cao Bohang's family is in Caozhou, and Mrs. Cao's family is in Peijun. They are so far apart, so they are not from the same family. But this reminds me that we are going to marry these people. You can’t just say what others say, tomorrow, no, I’ll send someone out to inquire now.”

"Then... let's talk about this matter after the investigation is over?"

"Of course we have to wait until the investigation is over, but we can't just wait. Let Xiuxiu invite Mrs. Cao's family to come over tomorrow. We still need to learn more about the child. Let's say that three-year-olds are older and seven-year-olds are older. Let's take a look at this first." The child's conduct, after all, can't be forced too much in terms of family status, and we can only hope that the child's conduct will be outstanding."

Madam Dou nodded, "Just listen to the master, I'll go back and tell Xiuxiu about this."

After Cao Qian got the post, he asked Guan Lengyan, "Should I go or not?"

Holding the account book in her hand, Guan Lengyan looked at it for a while, then glanced at Cao Yang out of the corner of her eye, "Don't you already have a score in your heart? At this time, it may have been calculated two or three years later, and you are still here to ask me What's the meaning."

"Haven't I never walked in the world? So no matter what I do, I have to ask you."

Guan Lengyan put away the ledger and threw it into Cao Yang's arms, "Don't worry, I have already prepared before waking you up, your background is impeccable, some of these things under your name can be found out, and some need to be spent. It takes time to find out.

As for whether you want to go to Li's house or not, you should go. After all, my status is low now, and I can't take you to meet those girls and young men from rich and noble families. You can go to Li's house. There are also three catties of nails. Relatives, friends and old friends are all rich and powerful, and they all have family heirlooms. If you get acquainted with them, you can find out some useful information. "

Cao Qian nodded, "In that case, prepare the clothes for me quickly, I will go there tomorrow dressed up, by the way, let me bring something to Mrs Dou, I will even bring them home It's all good together."

Cao Li thought to himself, I have worked so hard, I don't believe I can't get what I want.
