Chapter 202: Alliance

Li Qian avoided Jiang Lu and was having breakfast with Cao Xuan in the courtyard next door.

Different from Jiang Xian's breakfast, rose bean curd, olive pickles, pickled cucumbers, cold salad and wild amaranth, gold and silver steamed buns, white porridge...... Although there are not many things, they are all what Cao Xuan likes.

Li Qian took half a piece of rose fermented bean curd with chopsticks and put it in the small gold plate in front of Cao Xuan, and said with a smile: "This is what I asked people to bring from Nanning." It is said that the water over there is good, so the taste of the bean curd is particularly tender, I grew up in Shanxi, like pasta, and later went to Fujian, only like one food, that is meat floss, and especially like to use it to mix white porridge to eat. This bean curd is delicious or not, I really can't eat it, so I have to let you comment. ”

Cao Xuan slept solidly, feeling that everyone had come to life, and his brain, which was originally sluggish due to lack of energy, began to slowly become active.

He picked a small piece of bean curd with chopsticks and slowly applied it to the gold and silver steamed buns, and said with a smile: "Zongquan, you are too polite, I can't say that I can't comment on it, I can only say that I like to eat it since I was a child, and I eat in many places, and gradually I began to be a little picky." ”

"If you can be picky, at least you know how to do it. Li Qian held Cao Xuan quietly and said with a smile, "Like me, even if you want to be picky, you can't say one, two, three, four, and you can't be picky!"

The two of them complimented each other for a long time, and Li Qian's words changed, and then he said: "Grandpa Guo, I plundered the county lord of Jianan, which made you and the queen mother very embarrassed, right?" He was sincere, poured a cup of tea for Cao Xuan, and said, "Grandpa Guo, I replace wine with tea, thank you for coming to give us a decree - Brother Allu was here yesterday, I don't have much to say, please forgive me!"

did not deny his intention to marry Jianan.

Cao Xuan's heart sank.

Li Qian: Is this fearless?

He thought of the holy decree that was burned to ashes by Jiang Xian.

Jia Nanning is willing to let Zhao Xiao lose face, and he is not willing to let Li Qian be wronged, Li Qian does have the capital and fearlessness.

So what does Li Qian mean by this?

Although he is the uncle of the Jiang family, he has no intention of relying on the Jiang family to rise to prominence, what was the Li family like in the past, and what is still the case?

Cao Xuan smiled and took the tea cup and played Tai Chi with Li Qian: "Where! I am also very happy that you can tie the knot with Jianan." Jianan and I grew up together, and my fiancΓ©e Qinghui is like Jianan's sister, if you want to talk about it, we are now brothers-in-law. ”

Li Qian smiled so much when he heard this, he didn't even dare to say it, and then said with great emotion: "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Queen Mother for this matter." If my father hadn't been summoned to the palace, I wouldn't have been able to visit the Empress Dowager, nor would I have known the Lord of Jianan...... There is no such thing as me Li Qian today. What's more, when my father left Beijing, the Queen Mother not only gave many instructions, but also gave the Li family gold and silver. Both my father and I will never forget. When I get married, Grandpa Guo, you must come and have a glass of wine. ”

Cao Xuan was a little surprised.

The identity of the Li family was exposed.

He thought that Li Qian was either quibbling in front of him, or not mentioning it, but he didn't expect Li Qian to tell him about the Cao family's kindness to the Li family before?

What is this?

Before beating someone, give a few sweet dates to coax.

Cao Xuan smiled and did not make a sound.

Li Qian smiled and continued: "The Cao family has the grace of knowing our Li family, and the grace of helping our father. Since my father was entrusted by the Queen Mother to serve in Shanxi, he will not live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother. Please rest assured that Cheng Engong will not be assured! Please rest assured that the Queen Mother will not worry!"

Is it?

If you really want to reassure them, why not make a promise or give a letter?

Li Qian is probably afraid that one day the Cao family and the Jiang family will tear their faces, right?

However, this kind of Li Qian made Cao Xuan appreciate it even more.

He smiled: "Zongquan's words are serious. You and I were colleagues and friends before, and you are not ready to associate with me after you take up a post in Shanxi?"

Li Qian endured it so that he didn't show a strange look.

He used to look at Cao Xuan, but he was just a delicate-looking gentleman, but he didn't expect him to be a smart person and observe the world.

Li Qian is indeed a pawn of Jiang Jia'an by the Cao family's side, but at this time, what is the use of saying this?

So Cao Xuan simply didn't mention it.

As for the future, whether it is friend or foe, who can tell?

Not to mention.

Unless the Li family wants to become a dependent of the Jiang family, it will be inseparable from the influence of the Empress Dowager Cao on the government, and as long as the Empress Dowager Cao wants to confront the emperor, it will be inseparable from the Li family's force.

Since neither of the two can do without the other, the best way is to form an alliance.

This time, it was not the Li family who took refuge in the Cao family, but the Cao family who had a request from the Li family.

Li Qian and Cao Xuan glanced at each other.

There is a bit of happiness in laughter!

Li Qian said with a smile: "When I arrived in the capital, I only made a good friend of you, and I was too late to be happy when you came to Shanxi, so how could I not associate with you! The next time I go to the capital, you have to invite me to a banquet in Qionghualou, otherwise the next time you come to Shanxi, you will only have a bowl of knife-cut noodles. ”

Cao Xuan nodded, laughed, picked up the teacup, and touched Li Qian gently.

Li Qian changed the topic with a smile and asked about the marriage: "How did the Empress Dowager and her old man know about this? Now that she is in good health, how did Grandpa Guo go back to the angel? When I saw you, it scared me a lot!"

Cao Xuan smiled slightly, and talked to Li Qian about what happened after Jiang Xian's disappearance, and finally said, "...... What my aunt meant, so far, whether Jianan took the initiative to follow you to Shanxi, or you kidnapped Jianan, the best way is to give marriage. Otherwise, there is no way to explain to the Jiang family and the Empress Dowager. Then I was afraid that her Yi Zhi Jiang family would not take it seriously, so I asked the Empress Dowager to find a way to replace the Yi Zhi with a holy ......"

Is it so easy to exchange the will for the holy will?

That's why the Empress Dowager Cao asked Cao Xuan to beg the Empress Dowager.

And the Empress Dowager has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so naturally Cao Xuan believes what she says, and finds a way to replace the Yi decree with a holy decree!

Li Qian is such a smart person, and he understands the trick after one more turn of his brain.

He couldn't help but pouted secretly, and said, "In that case, why didn't the emperor send two more people to follow you! I heard from the little guy who was sent to serve you that you haven't closed your eyes for a few days and nights! Fortunately, you arrived safely, and if something happens on the way, I'm afraid that there won't even be anyone to help you." ”

Cao Xuan felt a headache when he thought about the mess in the capital, knowing that he was inquiring about Zhao Yi's reaction, he didn't hide it from him, and told Li Qian how this holy decree was obtained.

Li Qian was suddenly a little confused.

It turns out that this decree is false!

But then he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, he didn't let Jiang Xian go back immediately, otherwise wouldn't it have become a meat bun and a dog would not have returned?!

How could the emperor let Jiang Xian marry him and marry him to Shanxi!

His brain was hot, and he asked a question that he shouldn't have asked: "Is this decree of marriage true or false?"

Cao Xuan said pointedly: "Since the holy decree is in your hands, it is yours." It is impossible for the emperor to take back this holy decree without regard for face. ”
