Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 89 You Can't Get Back From The Marriage You Can Find More
Li Qinzai saved Li Zhi's life in Taiji Palace.

For the Li family, it was a great happy event, but no one dared to publicize this happy event. The few people in the Li family who knew about it could only secretly feel happy in their hearts.

The Son of Heaven has just turned around from the gate of hell, how dare you try to laugh.

When Li Qinzai returned to the Duke's Mansion, everyone in the mansion behaved the same as usual.

Only when Li Siwen and Li Cuishi looked at him, smiles flashed in their eyes from time to time.

Everyone knew how important it was to save the emperor's life.Although the Li family is already extremely prominent, the illustriousness is only based on Li Ji's achievements over the years.

Li Ji is nearly 70 years old this year. If Li Ji dies, no one can say whether the emperor's favor for the Li family will still remain.

Now that Li Qinzai happened to save the emperor's life at his meeting, this was regarded as an insurance policy for the prosperity of the Li family for decades to come.

If Li Ji died, even if the Li family was not as beautiful as before, as long as Li Qinzai himself did not commit suicide, the emperor's favor for Li Qinzai would not disappear, that is to say, the favor for the Li family would not be reduced too much.

A century-old family business, a thousand-year community.

In today's era, including ordinary people, in fact, everyone cannot get rid of the brand of the family.

The relationship between the family and the individual is one of symbiosis, mutual prosperity and common disgrace.

In the future, if Li Qinzai does well, the Li family will be fine.On the other hand, if there are more promising children among the descendants of the Li family, the family business will become more and more prosperous, and the glory of the family will also shine on Li Qinzai.

This is the relationship between family and individual.

After returning to the backyard and closing the door, Li Cui smiled happily and rubbed Li Qinzai's hair vigorously.

"This child is becoming more and more awake, and has made a great contribution. It's incredible. My mother has heard that the emperor's life was hanging by a thread at that time. It was all up to you to save the emperor..." Li Cui was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

Turning her head to look at Li Siwen, Li Cui said: "Husband, you saved the life of the emperor, so it's not too much to make my son a duke?"

Li Siwen rolled his eyes: "Madam is naive, it is absolutely impossible to be a knight, it is best not to give him a promotion."

Li Cui was stunned: "Why can't even officials be promoted?"

Li Siwen probably thought about it with his father Li Ji, but it was too complicated to explain to his wife, so he had to say: "He is not worthy of virtue, he is too young, and there must be disasters in a high position."

Li Cui raised her brows, and immediately got angry: "What do you mean by 'virtue does not match'? My son has made so many contributions, why can't I be a high-ranking official? The emperor also needs to be reasonable, and only rewards and punishments can convince the public. Bar?"

After many years of husband and wife, Li Siwen knew his wife's temper well, so he didn't quarrel with her, turned his head to read the book calmly, and muttered: "You look like this, that's unreasonable..."

Li Cuishi was furious, Li Qinzai hurriedly stopped him: "Mother calm down, father is right, for today's matter, the child really shouldn't be rewarded, otherwise it won't be worth it."

Li Cui was taken aback, and said, "Why?"

"Let's use an analogy, my son. For example, you quarreled with Dad, and Dad hit you in a fit of anger..."

Li Cui was furious: "He dares! Give him ten courage to try!"

With a violent roar, like thunder on the ground, Li Siwen was caught off guard and shook his hands in fright. The book in his hand fell to the ground, and he looked at his wife in horror.

"Mother, calm down, the child is just an example, an example!"

Li Cui gave Li Siwen a gouged look, but when he looked at Li Qinzai, the spring breeze turned into rain in an instant, with a smile on his face: "My son continues to talk, mother is listening."

"For example, Dad hit you, and after he did it, he found out that the incident you quarreled with was actually his fault. Mother, should you fight back at this time, or should you bear it silently, and make Dad feel guilty with a grievance?" Blame yourself?"

Li Cuishi blurted out: "Of course I will fight back, and I will repay you ten times and a hundred times! Even if your father escapes to the ends of the world, I will kill you no matter how far away!"

Speaking of which, Li Cuishi stared at Li Siwen unkindly, as if looking at where it would be easier to cut the knife.

Li Siwen was so stared at that he was hairy all over, and he was very angry. He pointed at Li Qinzai and said, "You bastard, for example, don't involve the old man in it!"

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Mother, you are wrong."

"Where is wrong?"

"You should bear it in silence, sitting in front of dad without saying a word every day, always looking aggrieved, and occasionally wiping tears or something..."

"Believe me, my son, after a long time, dad will kneel in front of you and slap himself in the face to make amends, and he will definitely treat you better and more considerately from now on. He will not even dare to speak loudly in this life."

Li Siwen was furious, and jumped up against the case: "You beast..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Cuishi glared: "Shut up! Sit down!"

"Just sit down!" Li Siwen suddenly sat back, his face livid and his mouth shut.

Then Li Cuishi revealed a thoughtful look and nodded slowly.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Guilty, kindness, if one party continues to owe these things and deliberately does not make a settlement, the benefits it can get will be even greater, which is unimaginable."

"Because after a long time, it can be transformed into other things, such as obedience, such as a lifetime of compromise, a lifetime of grace, and so on."

Li Cui said happily: "It makes sense, let the emperor always owe you the grace of saving your life, then the emperor will continue to favor you for ten or twenty years, it is much better than when you were promoted to an official and just ended up here .My son has a clever mind, and he really is not a thing in the pool."

Li Siwen was also dumbfounded, and said in astonishment: "Qin Zai, when did you have such an ability to manipulate people's hearts?"

Li Qinzai smiled humbly: "Because the child hasn't been beaten by his father for a long time, if the body is not harmed, the child's brain will naturally become more and more intelligent, and it's just a matter of knowing people's hearts."

Li Siwen's face changed, he didn't expect his son's words could turn the flames of war on him again.

Sure enough, father's love is like a landslide, and son's filial piety is like a stock market crash...

Before the filial piety was over, Li Qinzai suddenly said to Li Cui with an aggrieved face: "Mother, the child must have been very smart and cute when he was young, right? Why did the child become worse every year after the father beat the child, becoming more and more stupid, and his behavior is also bad?" Is it getting worse?"

"Later, as soon as the father stopped, the child immediately created the magic arm bow, and then it was out of control. He made several great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Is there any connection between this?"

Li Siwen suddenly felt that there were clouds over his head, and when he looked at Li Cuishi again, her expression was already full of storms, lightning and thunder.

"This stupid woman really fell into the trap of alienation!" Li Siwen looked up to the sky and sighed.

Li Cuishi didn't feel that she had been tricked. Looking back on Li Qinzai's childhood, then teenager, and now, she found that what Li Qinzai said was right.

The son was really stupid by his husband, and once he stopped beating, he regained his wisdom, otherwise how to explain these incredible achievements and achievements of his son?

"Li Siwen!" Li Cui gritted his teeth with a livid face.

Li Siwen pointed at Li Qinzai tremblingly: "What a bastard, it's against you! How dare you plot against this old man..."

Li Qinzai walked out of the room with an innocent expression, leaving enough space for the two elders to cast various offensive spells.

As for him, he carefully closed the door for them, and brushed off his clothes when it was done.

Old couples also have to quarrel frequently, otherwise life would be too ordinary to survive.

…………

Since Li Zhilong was ill, the match between the monarch and his subjects was naturally impossible.

Concerned that Qiao'er was still in Ganjing Village, Li Qinzai planned to rush back as soon as possible.

Qiao'er was still young, and just came to his father's side, which was a period of psychological sensitivity. Li Qinzai hoped to be able to accompany him completely during his childhood.

Go to the study in the backyard to say goodbye to Li Ji. Li Ji was quite surprised by Li Qinzai's choice.

Unexpectedly, the grandson who walked around all day long, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, would willingly leave the bustling Chang'an City and live in a remote village in the backcountry with peace of mind. Dili.

A man who becomes a parent does not necessarily become mature, but a man who has a baby will definitely become mature, because with responsibilities, there are also weaknesses.

Li Ji saw every bit of Li Qinzai's changes in the past few months.

Whether it is the invention of the magic arm bow or the horseshoe pulley block, that is wisdom, and Li Ji doesn't care.

But Li Qinzai was willing to stay in Zhuangzi for the sake of his son, but Li Ji was very pleased.

This grandson has finally grown up, and he has become an upright man.

"Grandpa, before grandson leaves, there is one more thing I want to say..." Li Qinzai hesitated.

"Tell me." Li Ji stroked his beard with a smile.

"What my grandson wants to talk about is the marriage with the Cui family. Why don't we just let it go? It's not sweet. Miss Cui's family has disappeared without a trace in order to escape marriage. Even if she is found, she will not If you agree with your grandson as a husband, how can your grandson grow old with her in this lifetime?"

Li Ji frowned and remained silent.

Marriage by a wealthy family does not mean that you can quit if you quit the marriage. If you quit the marriage, it will be a shocking scandal, which will have a major impact on the reputation of the two families, and it is easy for the two families to turn against each other.

This is not a simple union of a husband and wife, but the integration of the interests of two family businesses, just like the merger and acquisition of two companies, the last step has been discussed, and the bosses of both parties have to sign. Now you can tell me not to talk So, the M&A case is invalidated?

As the patriarch of the family, Li Ji is of course not willing to withdraw the engagement. The Li family and the Cui family had already started to cooperate with each other on the day they got engaged.

"Qinzai, it's not that simple to resign the engagement. You are still young and don't understand some things deeply." Li Ji shook his head and said, "The daughter of the Cui family escaped from the marriage, and the old man never divorced the Cui family. Why do you think so?"

"The two families have been engaged for more than four years. In the court and in terms of business interests, all aspects have been integrated. If they want to separate from the Cui family, it will be very troublesome. So even if the daughter of the Cui family runs away, this marriage It cannot be easily withdrawn."

Li Ji smiled lightly and said: "Old man knows that you don't like being arranged by others, especially the important things in your life, but who told you that you are from the Li family. Marriage matters are not up to you."

"How about this, you and the daughter of the Cui family will still get married, and how you get along with her after getting married is up to you, even if you leave her in the backyard and don't care about it, it's up to you."

"If there is a suitable girl outside, you can consider taking it as a concubine, or raising it in a foreign house. The position of main wife is given to the daughter of the Cui family. The Cui family can't fault the Li family. How about it?"

Li Qinzai's eyes widened. Is this openly encouraging him to take a concubine?

Li Ji smiled: "A man's ambition is to govern the country and the world, how can he be trapped by his son's private relationship? How many women marry less and more have nothing to do with morality. If you don't like the daughter of the Cui family, take the position of main wife Give it to her, you go and find a woman you like to spend your life with."

Li Qinzai sighed, he could tell that it was almost impossible for the Li and Cui families to divorce.

The interests of the two families are too deeply involved. It doesn't mean that the divorce will be settled once and for all. Once the marriage is divorced, the two families will have even greater troubles.

There is a question that is very curious and must be asked.

"Grandpa, after grandma passed away, did you... also take a concubine? Why has your grandson never met in the mansion?"

Li Ji's old face became hot, and he quickly put on a straight face: "What does it have to do with you?"

"The grandson is curious. I don't know how old the concubine my grandfather is taking in, whether it is a peerless beauty, whether my grandfather has an illegitimate child outside, and what will happen when he comes back to fight for the family property with his grandson..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai found himself taking off on flat ground.

The whole body flew upside down out of the study room, landed heavily, and the door of the study room slammed shut.

I got up and tried my arms and legs. Fortunately, I didn't suffer any injuries, but my stomach hurts a little.

Not reconciled to being dismissed so rudely, Li Qinzai said loudly through the study door: "Grandpa, if you don't tell me, the grandson will go and investigate by himself, and if found, the grandson will take them home!"

"roll!"

Li Qinzai rolled away.

The old man who is almost 70 years old should not spend so much time playing, right?The prostate is fat into a ball, is that so interesting?
