Chapter 115 Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13: The Betrayal of the Beloved Son, Part Four At this time, there were a few people's slight footsteps outside the door. Just by hearing the sound, one could tell that they were not martial arts practitioners. Then two maids pushed open the door of the pavilion. Surrounded by several maids, Princess Changle walked in with a baby in her arms. .Behind her were Roulan and Li Lin. When Roulan accompanied the princess to pick up the child, she didn't forget to pull him. Li Xian was the first to jump up, and said with a smile, "I want to see if this child is more like Changle, or more like Suiyun you." Of course, apart from the joy of seeing his little nephew, he also wanted to temporarily avoid With such an awkward atmosphere, the future will be long, and at worst they will be tied up and taken away, Li Xian thought annoyedly.But he quickly turned his attention to the baby.

Although not yet one year old, this little baby is full of energy, with big curious eyes rolling around, inheriting the advantages of his parents' appearance. Although he is still young, it can be seen that he will grow up to be a handsome boy A handsome boy. The more Li Xian looked at it, the more he felt that the child's eyes somehow resembled his own. He couldn't help but reached out and hugged the child. Although he already had several children, Li Xian, who never pays attention to them, is not considered to be in essence. A real father, so holding this little baby is harder for him than holding a knife and gun.Moreover, the soft and delicate baby's body made Li Xian flustered, fearing that his strength would hurt him too much.But the kid seemed to be full of energy, and seemed to see Li Xian's embarrassment, giggling non-stop.Li Xian became more and more happy, and couldn't help reaching out to lift him up high.Princess Changle exclaimed: "Sixth brother, don't scare Shen'er." Unexpectedly, the little baby was not only not afraid, but laughed happily.Bright eyes filled with excitement and curiosity.A warm current surged in Li Xian's heart. For the first time, this little baby brought Li Xian a parent-child feeling that he had never experienced before.

The emperor's family is originally indifferent to family, and in the past, it was not harmonious with Qin Zheng, so Li Xian didn't pay attention to his son Li Lin in the past. It was not until Qin Zheng's death that Li Xian felt guilty. He paid more attention to it, but because of the estrangement in the past and the pain in Li Xian's heart, Li Xian was more like a commander and teacher than a father to Li Lin. The child inherited his mantle and became an excellent general.However, for this little nephew, Li Xian loved him from the bottom of his heart, and for a moment he only hated that this child was not his own son. Over the years, Li Xian, who had already had no interest in life other than killing him, was the first time to start a new life. Longing for life surges up.

Li Lin stared blankly at his father. He had never seen his father so happy. At this moment, he wished he could replace that little baby and experience the warmth of his father's embrace.At this time, a hand was gently stroking the top of his head. He looked up and saw a gentleman in green clothes smiling at him. His eyes were so warm that Li Lin felt tears filled his eyes. He quickly turned his face away. Go, I don't want people to see my cowardice.A gleam of pity flashed in the eyes of the green-clothed scholar, then he turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Highness, don't tease Shen'er anymore, if you startle him, Zhen'er will be heartbroken."

Reluctantly, Li Xian returned the baby to Princess Changle, and sneered, "Stop pretending, I heard the emperor's wife and His Royal Highness say that you were the one who bullied Roulan the most. I've never seen such a father." If you know how to bully your son and daughter, you might as well leave Shen'er to me, so as not to be angry with you, a bad father." When I heard this, I almost turned my nose. This Qi Wang used to like to watch my good shows. Every time we meet, he must not forget to make a little awkwardness. With both hands in his arms, I sneered and said: "Of course this son can't give it to you But anyway, you are also his uncle, so how about it, if you marry the princess and give birth to a princess who is a direct descendant, I will ask Shen'er to call you father-in-law."

When Li Xian heard this, his face turned gloomy at the beginning. He felt guilty for what happened to Qin Zheng. He not only dismissed Concubine Ji, but also refused. This is something that many people know. Naturally, I was a little annoyed. But somehow, after a while, he gradually felt that this idea was good. If Jiang Shen became his son-in-law, then the son-in-law would also be his son-in-law, which would satisfy him. But although he now has one or two daughters, they are all concubines. Not to mention, he was also much older than Jiang Shen, if he wanted Jiang Shen to be his son-in-law, he would really have to have another daughter.It's not too much for Jiang Zhe to let him marry another concubine and have a daughter. After all, Jiang Shen is the eldest son of Princess Changle, and his father is such a character. I'm afraid many people will miss this marriage.

Thinking of this, Li Xian thought to himself that he had to marry a princess just for this son-in-law.Besides, he also thought that now there is no one in the family to preside over the middle feeding, and those concubine children are also undisciplined, but they are just left to fend for themselves.If there is a virtuous concubine to take care of him, not only will he save himself trouble, but it will not delay the future of those children.And it may be that seeing Jiang Zhe's family happy and harmonious, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little guilty, thinking, the so-called Qi family governing the country, even his own family affairs are in chaos, no wonder he lost to the emperor, and he has been depressed for a long time because of his failure to win the heir apparent The knot in my heart was actually a little loose.

The obsession in his heart was eliminated, and Li Xian's brain immediately became flexible. He immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity, and quickly said: "Then we can make a deal. If I have a daughter-in-law, Shen'er will be my daughter-in-law in the future." son in law. I looked at Aizi and said in my heart, son, don’t blame me for deciding your life casually and becoming my son. I’m afraid you can’t let you be the master of this marriage, even if I don’t care, there will be someone Concern, although King Qi is stubborn, he is a straightforward person, and his daughter should also be outstanding.But for your happiness, I will give you a few more choices.Thinking of this, I said again: "Well, it's not uncommon for me to marry my fingertips, but I don't want to wrong Shen'er, so how about you have more daughters in the future and let Shen'er choose?"

Li Xian didn't care that his future daughter was chosen, he said: "Then you and I will make a high-five oath to agree on this matter, there are so many guests to witness this matter, and Changle is also in person, you can't deny this engagement. " I smiled slightly, and thought to myself, if Shen'er has someone else he likes in the future, the worst thing is to drive him out of the house and let him be free. If he doesn't love fame, fortune, and wealth, I can only be happy, can I blame him? Well, besides, the so-called childhood sweethearts are in love with each other for a long time. In the future, Shen'er and King Qi's daughter will have the opportunity to meet each other every day. If that woman is not capable of making Shen'er fall in love, then I can't blame me.Thinking about this, I raised my palm and said, "Of course I won't deny it. If Your Highness has a concubine daughter and matches Shen'er, His Highness has no intention of getting married, and Zhe still wants to come to propose marriage, unless Shen'er is not my son. Otherwise, this marriage will be settled like this."

Although Li Xian has extraordinary military strategy, he naturally doesn't pay attention to the minutiae of such words, so he also raised his palms and gave me a high five as an oath, agreeing to this marriage of fingertips. Seeing Jiang Zhe and Li Xian clapping their hands and swearing, but the distinguished guests in the pavilion had different thoughts, Lin Bi yelled in her heart that it was not good. If King Qi reconciled with Dayong’s upper echelon because of this, it would be detrimental to us, Northern Han, but she did not Showing off his face, just smiling and congratulating, Li Kang felt furious in his heart. He didn't want to see King Qi pressing on his head again, and even developed endless hatred for Jiang Zhe, but after thinking about it, the woman here It can be said that things happen, and I may not have the opportunity to disrupt their good things, so I didn't show any traces.On the contrary, Gou Lian was really happy in his heart, thinking, although His Royal Highness King Qi is stubborn, but the Emperor really loves him, since he agreed to marry a concubine, then this is a good opportunity to make up for the relationship between the Emperor and King Qi, Jiang Zhe was really powerful, but he solved such a big problem with just a few words. If the emperor knew about it, he would be so happy.

No matter what everyone was thinking, they were all beaming, only Jiang Shen, who didn't know that he was betrayed by his father, looked curiously at the various objects on the big wooden table in the middle of the pavilion.From time to time, I reach out to touch those things, but the distance is too far to touch them.Unable to bear it, Jiang Shen's face was distorted, and it was about to turn into a downpour.The door of the pavilion was knocked open at once, and Lin Tong who hurried over asked loudly, "Have you started to catch Zhou? What did you catch?" Scared back, Jiang Shen, who forgot about the crying, looked at Lin Tong curiously. Princess Changle smiled slightly, she felt a little unhappy just now, she thought, why did Suiyun not even discuss with her, and gave Shen'er the fingertips to marry her.But after all, she was born in the royal family, so she naturally knows that the more noble her status is, the less likely she is to choose a marriage by herself. Needless to say, Shen'er is her own son. The husband and wife did not give their son the right to choose his wife. Now that Jiang Zhe has engaged his son in such a way, it is a rainy day. If the sixth brother can change his mind and stop fighting against the emperor, it will be a happy event.But seeing that the atmosphere in the room was cloudy and not rainy, King Qing Li Kang and Princess Jiaping Lin Bi were a little out of their minds, and they were worried about how to turn around. When they saw Lin Tong rushing in recklessly, they smiled and said: "Princess, don't worry, you have to After a while, the maid had already gone to invite the princess, and she must have missed it with the princess. Lin Tong, who had been napping for more than half an hour, fully woke up, apologized embarrassingly, and retreated behind Lin Bi.Seeing that the time was almost up, Princess Changle said with a smile: "Suiyun, I think it should start, otherwise Shen'er will be in a hurry." I looked at Shen'er's curious eyes and said, "Then let him catch it." , I also really want to see what Shen'er will catch?" This catch week is a folk custom that has been passed down for a long time. As long as they are a little wealthy, they will invite relatives and friends to come to the gathering when their children are one year old. Princesses are not ordinary people, and the items prepared by Zha Zhou are also very delicate and precious. There is a gold seal in a silver plate, two ebony wood plates, three hardcover books in one, namely, "Lao Tzu" and "Diamond Sutra", and the other contains high-quality Hu brush and Hui ink. , rice paper, Duan inkstone, abacus, ingots and account books in a boxwood tray, a carefully crafted white jade qin on a side of red satin, only half a foot long, and a pair of Go chess made of black jade crystal, which is priceless. Inside the black iron plate lay a dagger and a machete, both in green sharkskin sheaths, with gold mouths and yellow velvet handles, very luxurious.However, what was placed in the middle of the table was a box of cakes made by Princess Changle herself. The fragrance was tangy and mouth-watering. These items are very luxurious, even the powerful and wealthy King Qi and the others can't help but feel that they are a bit too extravagant. King Qi looked at it and said with a smile: "Since he is my son-in-law, I can't wrong him." Cong Huai said. He took out a crystal clear purple jade soldier talisman and put it on the table. Princess Changle was startled and said: "Sixth brother, this is the soldier talisman for you to lead the army, how can you take it out and let Shen'er grab it?" Li Xian said with a smile: "It's just a occasion, even if Shen'er is caught, I have to take it back, but I just want to see if this kid has the life to lead the army." I smiled slightly, and said: "Your Highness may be disappointed if you think so. People who lead soldiers need to be ruthless. I think Shen'er is a soft-hearted person. I'm afraid he can't lead soldiers." Li Xian waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Who is cruel from birth? Many warriors in this king's army didn't even dare to kill people when they first went to the battlefield. Isn't it also killing people like hemp and ruthless like wolves now? " A cold light flashed in King Qing's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Sixth brother is so enthusiastic, I, the third uncle, can't help but show it." He untied a somewhat old bright yellow purse from his waist, embroidered with four-clawed golden dragons on it, the purse It's bulging, but I don't know what's inside. A trace of confusion flashed in Li Xian's eyes. Others didn't know, but he knew what it was. When King Qing's biological mother died tragically, although Li Xian looked down on this cowardly brother, he still went to comfort him, but saw Li Kang wept while hugging his concubine's makeup box.Although Li Xian was straightforward, he knew he shouldn't bother him, so he watched in secret. At that time, King Qing Li Kang took a jade bracelet from his mother's makeup box and put it in a bright yellow purse beside him.Li Kang disappeared from the palace the next day.Many years later, after Li Kang appeared in the Dayong court again, he always carried this purse with him. Others ignored it, but Li Xian remembered it in his heart. He was also quite moved by King Qing's filial piety.It's just that firstly he and Prince Qing had a disagreement, and secondly, Li Xian was in the prince's party at that time, so he was not close to Prince Qing. Today, the brotherhood between the two has become very weak, which is irreparable. Naturally, Li Xian He will not mention the matter of wanting to comfort the third brother back then, so Li Kang will never think that Li Xian knows the things in the purse. I looked at this purse and thought it was a little strange, I would not want something that is not clear, so I said: "I don't know what kind of gift His Royal Highness Qing gave, if it is too expensive, I'm afraid the child will not be able to afford it." Li Kang said with a smile: "This thing is not expensive, it is just a relic of my late mother. If the son loves it, maybe our two families will also be related by marriage." I was stunned for a moment, just now I said that I would let Shen'er be the son-in-law of King Qi, so why did King Qing come to propose marriage? At this moment, I saw King Qing Li Kang's eyes fell on Rou Lan, and I immediately understood that the mother's relic is naturally The best gift for his wife or daughter-in-law, King Qing actually wants Rou Lan to be his daughter-in-law. The anger in my heart can no longer be contained. Although I betrayed Shen Er and got engaged to him at a young age, it doesn't mean that I can make a hasty arrangement of Rou Lan's marriage. In my heart, my son can naturally Some, anyway, in the worst case, he can be allowed to run away from home in the future. My daughter should be favored, not to mention King Qing's son who doesn't know what to do, even any son of the Dayong royal family, don't even want to marry my daughter.My Roulan will marry a man who loves her like a treasure in the future, how can those royal children who have three wives and four concubines be worthy of being Roulan's husband-in-law. The expression on my face became indifferent, and I said lightly: "Your Highness, Zhe is grateful for the kindness, but Zhe loves this daughter the most in his life, and she has to be willing to marry her. Now that Lan'er is still young, this marriage is still a matter of time." It’s inconvenient to talk about it.” These words did not give Prince Qing any face at all, and even I was a little worried that he would turn his back on him, but to my surprise, Li Kang's expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "It seems that dogs don't have such a blessing, Mr. Jiang's Miss, it is natural that gold is honored and jade is precious, so there should be a better match." This sentence seems to be envious and mocking, but Li Kang said it very calmly. I saw that he didn't have an attack, and I was secretly relieved. I couldn't help but regret that I invited him here. It was originally because of his identity. He is the prince of the current dynasty and the elder brother of Changle, but he not only made me an enemy, but also made the internal contradictions of Dayong fall into the eyes of outsiders. Unfortunately, I can't hinder his face and superficial Harmony, just like that, missed Roulan's life.Seeing the thoughtful look in Lin Bi's eyes, he also knew that inviting her over this time might not be worth the candle.It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world to take, and he secretly thought, that's all, there will always be a way to make up for today's loss in the future.I forced a smile on my face, and said: "Okay, Zhen'er, let Shen'er do it, I think he can't bear it anymore." Princess Changle smiled softly, and placed Aiko on the wooden table with her own hands, allowing him to act since he was a child.Jiang Shen opened his eyes wide, showing joy and curiosity, just now he was eager to get those interesting things, but now he refused to reach out, just looked carefully. After a while, the little baby started to move. He quickly got up to the middle and picked up a piece of fragrant pastry. . I couldn't help but groaned, I heard that if the cakes are the first to be caught when catching the week, it means that the child may be lazy in the future, although most of the guests will compliment politely, saying that the child must be well-fed in the future.I originally wanted to take away the pastry, because even I couldn’t put it down in Changle’s pastry, and I’m afraid Shen’er couldn’t resist the temptation, but Zhen’er said it was a rule, and now it didn’t happen, Shen’er was the first to get the pastry. At this moment, Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing silently in the corner of the room, suddenly laughed. I glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?" Li Shun said with a smile: "The young master is indeed the son of the young master. Didn't the young master tell the slave that the young master was also the first one to grab pastries when he caught Zhou?" As soon as he said these words, the room was silent for a moment, and then Li Xian laughed out loud. Although the others were in the way of my face, they were all smiling.I didn't feel a little embarrassed, but I thought to myself, in this way, others would not laugh at Shen'er. Although Xiao Shunzi lost my face, she was credited with keeping Shen'er's face. At this time, Shen'er had already put down the pastry, rolled her big eyes around, and reached out to pick up the abacus. I trembled in my heart, and then smiled: "That's okay, that's okay, Jiang has the most headache managing accounts If it weren’t for the help of my cronies and subordinates to manage the property, I’m afraid Jiang would have been impoverished long ago. Shen’er will be smarter in the future and avoid ruining the family business.” These words are not just consolation. I have the ability to start a business, but the management Those trivial accounts are the biggest headache for me. Fortunately, I have been using my strengths to avoid my weaknesses and not intervening in these matters. If Shen'er is smarter, at least I don't have to worry about him becoming a prodigal son in the future. Then Shen'er put down his abacus and reached out to pick up the exquisite saber. I thought with some regret: "Obviously there is still a sword, why don't you take it? Who doesn't know that people with swords are often both civil and military. Most of the swordsmen are reckless warriors." I turned around the table a few times impatiently, and said bitterly: "Shen'er, what's the matter with you, you kid, you were the father but the second one to pick up the Four Treasures of the Study, why don't you like books and pens and inks at all?" " Everyone in the pavilion couldn't help laughing, those who knew me well, Qing Wang Li Kang, Lin Bi, and Lin Tong all thought it was funny, they didn't expect that Jiang Suiyun, who is so talented, would have such a childish side.But I didn't pay attention to their expressions, I just looked at Shen'er wholeheartedly, hoping that he would show me some face. At this time, Shen'er put down his saber and stretched out his hand towards the ebony plate. I was overjoyed and held my breath for fear of disturbing him.With a sweep of Shen'er's little hand, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were immediately messed up, but he stretched out his hand to reach another plate. I was secretly happy, thinking, if I took the book, it would be great.Sure enough, Shen'er reached out to take a book, and then tore it curiously with her small hands. But I only felt a buzzing in my head, I stepped forward, picked up Shen'er by the collar, and cursed loudly: "Stinky boy, what's the matter with you, even though I arrested you when I was a father A book of Lao Tzu, but the first one took the Analects of Confucius, you are lucky, but you still hold on to the Diamond Sutra, do something wrong, but want to become a monk, it is unreasonable, throw this book away, you can't even say a word It doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize him, this monk absolutely cannot do it.” Princess Changle couldn't laugh or cry, she stepped forward and said: "Suiyun, don't be impulsive, taking the Buddhist scriptures is just a predestined relationship with Buddhism, why is it related to becoming a monk, grasping Zhou is just a ceremony, how can you take it so seriously. Let go , don't hurt Shen'er." I shyly said: "Yes, yes, I was too impulsive, who told this kid not to save me some face." After that, I looked at Shen'er, worried that he might be surprised, but it's okay not to look, When I saw it, I couldn't laugh or cry, I saw that although Shen'er was holding the Diamond Sutra tightly with both hands, her two little feet were dangling, and she was swinging there. I resentfully said: "The family is unlucky, why did such a tired kid come out?" Li Xian couldn't help laughing and said: "Suiyun, you don't have to worry, I think this kid is naughty and lively, and he will be a good material for martial arts in the future." At this time, Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed suddenly, he looked out of the window, and said coldly: "The master He Fang came to Jinghai Villa, the evil shadow Li Shun is very polite, please show up." I was shocked in my heart, although this Jinghai Villa can't be seen on the surface, but there are countless secret agencies in this village, how could someone break into this place without being noticed? At this time, a soft sound of Buddha's chant came from outside the door, and someone said: "Benefactor Li is so proficient in martial arts, I really admire this old monk. I just saw Jiang Tanyue taming his son. Please forgive me for disturbing him." Then the door of the pavilion was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged monk in gray cassock stood with a smile on his face, but I felt my scalp tighten and said shyly: "Master Cizhen, Jiang does not say that being a monk is not good, please forgive me. "It's unlucky in my heart, why should my words be heard by this expert who is a master, what if he thinks I have a prejudice against Buddhism. Master Cizhen smiled slightly, and said: "I understand Tanyue's thoughts, Tanyue is about to stand up, and there is only one son under his knees, so I have high expectations, but I see that this child is very talented, if Tanyue allows, I want to accept him as a disciple, I don't know What do you think of Tan Yue?" I blurted out and was about to refuse, but when I saw Xiao Shunzi shaking his head lightly, my heart moved, this Master Cizhen definitely did not want my son to become a monk, Shen'er was born of a princess, and he was my only son, Cizhen No matter how much the master loves talents, he will not let Shen'er become a monk. At this time, Master Cizhen said again: "Although Pei Yun is my disciple of Shaolin Dharma Protector, now he has a heavy soldier in his hand, and it is inconvenient to intervene in many affairs in the world. I see that your son's character and aptitude are very outstanding, so I like him in my heart. Tanyue agrees, the old monk is willing to accept your son as a closed disciple, and please rest assured that Tanyue and the Princess Highness look at your son's face, he will live a long life in the future, with many children and grandchildren, and he will never become a monk." I knew in my heart that maybe Shen'er had extraordinary aptitude, but I think this old monk probably wanted to hold a hostage in his hands. If Shen'er worshiped Shaolin, Xiao Shunzi and I would never make things difficult for Shaolin in the future. This old monk is still a bit jealous and suspicious of me.But after thinking about it, Shen'er is never quiet for a moment. It seems that he has no ability to make a fuss. When it comes to martial arts, there is no better master in the world except Master Cizhen. Shaolin martial arts are said to be the most authentic martial arts in the world. If you don't practice well, you won't practice badly. After worshiping such a master, who will dare to embarrass Shen'er in the future? All these thoughts flashed by, and I said with a smile: "Shen'er is naturally lucky to be able to worship the master, but our husband and wife only have this one son. Wouldn't it hurt our hearts as parents to leave?" Master Cizhen smiled slightly, and said: "I have decided to place an order at Fuyun Temple in Chang'an for the time being. Now that your son is still young, I can also stay at Mr. Jiang's house to teach temporarily." I was overjoyed in my heart, and said: "Deal." After I said a word, I realized that I had made a mistake, and said quickly: "In this case, Zhe thank you for your kindness, but why did the master come here?"
