When I woke up, I was fine

During dinner in the evening, the three Li brothers knew about Cao Qiang and Li Xiuxiu's plans to go hunting tomorrow.

Li Jiancheng just told the two of them not to go to some deep mountains and old forests, but to wander around some less dangerous places and come back. Li Yuanba wanted to go, but was suppressed by Li Jiancheng.

On the first day when they went out, the two of them did gain something. Each of the maidservants had a few pheasants hanging around their horses' necks.

The pheasants were handed over to the kitchen, feathered and gutted, and hung on the beams to make air-dried bacon.

At night, Li Xiuxiu was a little unwilling.

"I could have won against my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law just cheated."

Cao Li didn't take it seriously, "It's just a win or loss, it's because you don't have the heart to fight."

Li Xiuxiu thought for a while and shook her head, "I don't think so. When I went out today, I thought I would win my sister-in-law to overwhelm you, but now I am overwhelmed by you. I feel a little unwilling. Why don't we do it tomorrow?" go."

Cao Li held the bowl, "I have something to do tomorrow, I have to go by yourself, you can bring someone to let those maidservants play with you. But let me tell you, even if you practice for another ten or eight years, It may not be my opponent."

This is a bit exaggerated, Li Xiuxiu doesn't believe it, and Li Jiancheng doesn't believe it either.

"How old are you? Xiuxiu is still a few months older than you. Even if your talent is a little higher than others, Xiuxiu can definitely surpass you as long as she works hard."

Facing Li Jiancheng's words, Cao Qian just smiled and said nothing.Li Xiuxiu felt that even though she was not as talented as her sister-in-law, she could still improve with hard work.

"I heard that in autumn, the young ladies and girls from various families will go outing and hunting together. Then I must show my talents. Why don't I go out and practice for a few more days at this time?"

There was no shortage of manpower in the family, so some maidservants were assigned to Li Xiuxiu. As long as it could make her happy, it would be better than anything else. Li Jiancheng nodded.

"Talk to the stable later and ask them to bring out your horse, as long as it doesn't affect our going out."

Li Xiuxiu was very happy, and because of the activities outside today, she was very hungry at this time, so she happily ate two bowls of rice with a bowl in her hand.

When sleeping at night, Cao Li brushed his hair with a comb while thinking about what happened today.

Li Jiancheng thought that Cao Yang was worried that he would not be able to win Xiuxiu in the future, so he walked over and held Cao Yang's head. "Okay, okay, don't think so much, go to bed early, when you are not busy these two days, go out with Xiuxiu, your talent is better than him, practice a few more times, and the two of you will be able to get along well. It's a tie."

"What you mean is that Xiuxiu will definitely be better than me in the future."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said nothing.

Cao Qian snorted coldly, don't you just stand by your sister and dislike me?

But Cao Qian thought that his ability to bow and horse was better than that of his brothers and sisters.There is no need to argue with their siblings about this now.

"Let me tell you, I went out with my sister today, and I was very happy to see her. I thought about letting the maids at home follow her in the future. You also know that the world will be in turmoil in the future, and there are people around my sister who are more powerful than anything else." powerful."

After hearing this, Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows, put his hand on Cao Yang's shoulder, and rubbed Cao Yang's shoulder.

"From your point of view, you want to get a group of women's soldiers for my sister."

"What's wrong with this? I heard that there was a female general named Hua Mulan who was able to command thousands of troops. Why can't our family be Xiuxiu?"

"Mulan? You mean the one in Yuefu poems? This may not be true."

Yuefu poems are widely sung, and many people believe that there is such a heroine.Although Cao Qian had never met or heard from Guan Lengyan, she firmly believed that there was such a person.

"My sister has the heart of being a general. Even if she is a maid, as long as we can afford it, there is no need to feel wronged."

Li Jiancheng still didn't take it seriously, Cao Yang looked up at his appearance, and decided to use another method to persuade him.

"Didn't you meet that young master of the Chai family? My sister has been back for such a long time, and I have taken her out to meet people a few times. If their family hadn't heard the news, I wouldn't believe it. But Firstly, they didn’t send any post to our house, and secondly, that young man also showed indifference. Think about how actively you ran to my aunt when the two of us started discussing marriage. Let’s put ourselves in Come to think of it, the Chai family probably looks down on our sister a bit."

What he said made Li Jiancheng furious.

"My sister is such a good person, why should their family look down on her?"

"If ordinary people think, Xiuxiu can only be locked up in our house and try to do as much as possible to please their family. But such a life is really boring. Why should I please others when I can't live a happy life? Instead of doing this, let Xiuxiu feel better. The maidservants belong to our family. From now on, as long as they can obey Xiuxiu’s orders, they will all follow Xiuxiu to marry into their family. If their family dares our girl to be wronged, you brothers will be wronged for a while. When they can't stand up for their younger sister for a while, this group of people can beat up their little man, just like you said, if they can't get out of bed, they will know whether it hurts or not."

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he rubbed Cao Qiang's shoulders with his hands, "If this is really the case, life will be difficult for them as husband and wife in the future."

"If I say this, people may say that I am not good at being a sister-in-law, and I shouldn't say this as a sister-in-law, especially when she is not married. But if I follow my temper, then we will put the show If Xiu picks her up, if she doesn't want to part with the child, let's bring the child back together. It doesn't matter if the two families are torn apart. There are many people who can't live as a family in this world. Besides, there are only two of us in the future, or Dad Became the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and Xiuxiu is a princess. Either our whole family will go to hell together, and the people around Xiuxiu will be her last support."

But no matter what, always be prepared.

Li Jiancheng nodded, "The opinions of outsiders belong to outsiders after all. We have our mouths on their faces, and we can't keep them from talking. The benefits we can get are the most important."

This matter was agreed, and since Li Jiancheng agreed, he thought in his heart that he could no longer treat this matter as a normal game.

I deliberately went to the front to find Li Yaoshi, and asked him to come up with a plan to train the Women's Army, and then gave it to Li Xiuxiu.

"Your sister-in-law said, let you raise some people. Then you will have an arm."

This short sentence moved Li Xiu's heart so much that she took over the plan without saying a word, and just saluted her brother.

Although Li Xiuxiu went out early and returned late every day, leading this group of maids and some desperate peasant girls to train in the forest.He doesn't listen to the rumors outside, but for Cao Li, life is not very easy.

Whenever it is Chinese New Year, there are more people walking around, and Cao Li goes back and forth in different mansions.What I hear the most is to ask myself to go back and persuade their brothers and sisters.

Many people felt that Xiuxiu's usual actions were a bit indecent.Cao Li slandered endlessly in his heart, how many young ladies with a bit of barbarian blood are safe, and now he accuses Xiuxiu that he has forgotten what the girls in their family have done?

Cao Li was perfunctory, so he never brought this word home.

However, the marriage between the Li family and the Chai family was finally finalized.Cao Qiang met the head wife of the Chai family on the road. She had eyes and noses, so she greeted Cao Qiang with some displeasure.

The meaning inside and outside the words is to ask Cao Qiang to go back and persuade Li Xiuxiu to let her settle down a little bit.If people want to say this, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

There was a fire in Cao Qian's heart, mainly because the other party's attitude was a little arrogant.Is this looking down on the Li family or looking down on Xiuxiu?

Cao Qian's temper was not too good, so he asked the lady at that time, "Young master of the Chai family, in which flower building does he live now?"

When the lady heard Cao Yang's question, she immediately looked at Cao Yang angrily.

"What does Madam Shi Zi mean by this?"

Cao Qian looked at the other party with a smile, and really wanted to say to the other party, "I don't want to be relatives." He didn't say this in the end.

Therefore, the encounter between the two parties this time is regarded as an unhappy breakup.Now that they broke up unhappy, Cao Li didn't want to give the other party something for the New Year.

Discussed with Li Jiancheng at night, "I'm not being stingy, I want to see how their family does it, and I'll return the gift if their family delivers it. If their family doesn't deliver it, I'll treat it as if it doesn't exist."

Li Jiancheng shook his head, "Just send the things there first, so that the outsiders can see that we are not rude. Now Dad needs help from all parties. If we dare to tear down his desk behind, he will definitely not be happy."

Moreover, the major event of rebellion is the biggest event in the Li family's view, and other things can make way for this event.

Cao Li felt unhappy, snorted at Li Jiancheng, and drove him out at night, and drove Li Jiancheng to the study to sleep.

Early the next morning, someone prepared something and sent it to Chai's house.And Jinyang's return gift also arrived.

At the same time, a thick letter came with this batch of gifts.

This thick letter was given to Cao Qiang by Li Shimin and his wife.

Cao Qiang opened it and looked at it in front of Li Jiancheng and his brothers and sisters.

"Shimin said that Guanyin's maidservant was sick again. Fortunately, we have the medicinal materials this time. There are a lot of thank you words on it, and I asked me why the whole family should be so polite."

Sighing for a while, she handed the letter in her hand to Li Xiuxiu who was next to her. Li Xiuxiu quickly took it, and after turning a few pages, she found that her second brother had said a very small thing.

Because his wife, Changsun, was bedridden all the year round, many wealthy families in Jinyang wanted to send their children to Li Shimin as side houses, but Li Shimin refused.So after this incident happened, the situation of the two of them in the local area seemed a bit difficult.

After reading it, Li Xiuxiu quickly handed the letter to Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng quickly turned the letter from front to back, and handed the letter to Cao Qiang.

"There must be some troubles with Shimin. We all know that our family has rebellious intentions. Now Shimin refuses to cooperate with them. I'm afraid those people have other thoughts."

Thinking of this, he stood up and went outside. He asked people to pay attention to the recent movements in the court.Within a few days, word came out from the palace that His Majesty wanted to conquest in person.

This news was not sent by others, it was Xiaoman, that Cao Guiren, who deliberately passed it to Li Jiancheng.

After Xiaoman became a nobleman, he urgently needed the support of forces outside the palace.However, Cao Bohang didn't care much about this adopted daughter who fell from the sky. After Li Jiancheng sent people to contact this Cao nobleman several times, Cao nobleman couldn't wait to grab the Li family's line.

In addition, Li Jiancheng sent her gold and silver to the palace several times, so that this nobleman Cao had money to win over the palace people.Now Li Jiancheng will pass on whatever is said in the palace.

After Li Jiancheng came back, his face was clouded, "It's fine if Yang Guang wants to go to the imperial conquest himself. He asked each family to send out a child to go with him. Our family is he who ordered Shimin."
