Chapter Seventy-Two: Breaking the Siege

Grandfather Li Lanfeng and eldest brother Li Bool are standing opposite each other, and they all look like they will not give up.

At the end of October, when it was the beginning of winter, the night wind was very cold, blowing the hem of people's clothes, but my grandfather only wore a brocade gown, and there was not even a horse coat outside, which looked very thin in the late autumn. Behind him, Li Da was still holding a military coat in his hand, and he stood nervously, probably because his grandfather was angry and unwilling to wear it.

When Wanchun entered, Li Chengxu was talking about the wrongness of his eldest brother Li Bool, the breath from the nose was rapid and turbid, he was holding a dragon-headed crutch in his hand, and at this moment he used the end of the crutch to pave the ground in the courtyard with a swastika pattern, and in a moment, Wanchun only listened to his grandfather and said: "I am talking here today, if you really dare to open a school to learn Japanese culture in this Forbidden City, then our Beiling Li family will not have you, the eldest son and eldest grandson of Li Bool, from now on, You don't need to call me grandpa again, I can't afford to be called you! ”

The eldest brother Li Bool still held his head high, stood like a green pine, and argued unadmittedly: "Grandpa, your old man said that it is nothing more than these two sentences. Then, I had no choice but to let go, what I want to do in the future is something that no one can change, even if I can't be the son and grandson of the Li family in the future, but for the sake of the motherland's future plans, I will never be able to compromise. Do you know that in Japan, their scholars study our Chinese things more thoroughly than our own scholars? They understand what we know, what we don't know, what we don't understand, they study what we don't. In fact, in the long feudal society, the Chinese have long left behind a deep-rooted servile mentality. It is precisely because they see this kind of inferiority in their Chinese people that they try in vain to launch a war of aggression against China. They want to take our territory and our people through war, and then they will enslave our minds and make us submit to their coercion. If this is the case, why can't we study their culture, their manners, and their ideas in turn, so that we can know who we are and who we will not be able to defeat in battle? Do you really have to wait until you are tied up to regret not being in the first place? ”

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! After a moment of silence, the dragon's head crutch struck more urgently. Li Lanfeng forcibly endured the upwelling cough, and said even more angrily, "The land of Japanese projectiles. What cultural etiquette can there be? They are robbers, bandits, and robbers who we want to wipe out in our old capital! When you introduced their culture into the old capital, did you ever think that one day, the students you taught would collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, causing us to die? ”

"Grandpa......"

Burol was almost helpless, opening a school was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but he didn't expect the process of opening it to be so difficult. He understood what Grandpa meant, seven or eight days had passed since the bombing. The soldiers stationed in the Jing'an official residence still refused to evacuate, which shows how suspicious the old Beijing government was of Li Jiasheng. But he thinks that he is not afraid of shadows, and he runs his own school in a dignified and well-behaved manner. Educational things can also be handed over to the Presidential Office, and as long as they don't have evidence, they can't do anything about him and his school.

But he had said this to his grandfather no less than ten times. But my grandfather wouldn't listen.

For a while, the courtyard was at a stalemate.

Wanchun didn't understand until now that it was for her eldest brother to open a school, and she listened to her grandfather. The school that the big brother is going to open is also related to Japanese culture. It's no wonder that Grandpa is angry, and now the people in the capital have been affected by the bombing. The anti-Japanese sentiment was very high, the streets were full of anti-Japanese banners, but all the shops involving Japanese goods had also closed down, and the eldest brother proposed to establish a Japanese culture school on this outlet, in the eyes of his grandfather, it was clearly to cause an uproar in the capital.

She subconsciously bit her lip, quite embarrassed. She is not very proficient in politics and military affairs, so naturally she doesn't know whether this Japanese culture is good or bad when it spreads, and she can't find a way to intervene even if she wants to persuade peace from it.

Because she deliberately slowed her steps when she came, she was standing with Na Lin at the moment, Caizhu was bluffed when she saw it, and asked in a low voice, "Why is the fourth lady here?" ”

Wan Chun raised her index finger and hissed at her lips, but quietly stood behind her mother Yu and called her mother softly.

Yu was anxious about the stalemate between Li Bool and Li Lanfeng, and the silk handkerchief only kept wrapping around her fingertips, so that Wanchun called like this, so she quickly stopped her hand and turned her head to look at her and said, "It's you, Nan?" What are you doing without sleeping so late? ”

Wan Chun lowered his head and said with a light smile: "I was going to sleep, but when I heard the noise here, I got up and came over to take a look." Because this time it was Na Lin who called her over without authorization, so she couldn't avoid Yu's blame, so she raised her head and looked at Bo Ol and Li Lanfeng, just as if she didn't know, and said, "Did the eldest brother and grandpa quarrel?" ”

Yu sighed, she and her husband Li Lanfeng had been standing in the courtyard for a long time, and at the beginning, the two of them could also reprimand Bo Ol twice, telling him not to disobey his grandfather. Later, Bo Ol became stubborn, and Li Chengxu and Li Chengxu debated from education to governing the country, and there was no room for others to interject.

Her sigh came suddenly, Li Lanfeng stood beside her, turned her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw Wanchun coming, she smiled bitterly and said, "Did you also alarm?" It's really bothering, and the yard is not peaceful. ”

Wan Chun lowered his head slightly, people say that his father is strict and his mother is kind, but in fact, in the Jing'an Mansion, his father Li Lanfeng is not as strict as his mother for his children and grandchildren. Although he was in charge of the naval headquarters, because he abandoned his pen and followed the army, he was not as arrogant as an ordinary general, but rather a little elegant and charming, and he himself did not have much opinion on the matter of his eldest brother opening a school. It's just that because his grandfather doesn't agree, he can't help his eldest son speak for the sake of filial piety.

Wan Chun understood the situation of his parents, so he had to sweat for his eldest brother, grandpa has always said the same, if it is possible, then the Li family will really no longer have the name of Li Bool. What should I do?

She was secretly anxious, Xiu'er was ordered by her to go to find Ji Yuan, and at this time, she was walking into the courtyard with Ji Yuan Pinglu, and Wan Chun saw it in the afterglow, and hurriedly waved to them gently.

Ji Yuan strode over, probably suddenly, he was still wearing pajamas when he was resting, with a long belt and a pair of cotton slippers on his feet, and when he arrived next to Wan Chun, he opened his mouth and said, "Are the eldest brother and grandpa still arguing?" ”

With a big voice, he doesn't seem to avoid suspicion.

Wan Chun was stunned, and hurriedly slapped his arm and motioned him to be quieter, saying, "I just finished arguing, and I don't know how to persuade him." ”

"Then what is there to dissuade or not?" Ji Yuan grinned, still the unruly appearance of the old days, he stretched out one foot diagonally to support his body and shook it, and as soon as his eyes moved, he pushed away Wanchun and went straight to Li Bool in the middle of the crowd.

Wanchun didn't know what he was going to do, and was surprised in a low voice, afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he reached out to grab Ji Yuan. Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan walked up to Bo Alcohol, hooked Bo Alcohol's shoulder, and smiled at Li Chengxu: "Grandpa, it's dark, your old man is old, it is not suitable to stand outside for a long time, you go back and rest first, I will talk to the eldest brother, and when he is full of energy, I will escort the eldest brother to you again, and let you teach him a good lesson, okay?" ”

He seemed to be joking, and in a few words, the tense atmosphere in the courtyard turned into smoke, Wanchun understood what he meant, and knew that Ji Yuan wanted to avoid the edge of his grandfather and eldest brother, and make a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain. She was also extremely clever, so she hurriedly took over the military coat in Li Da's hand, and while draping it on Li Chengxu's shoulders, she said softly: "Grandpa, look, it's so cold this day, isn't it ours that the body is frozen?" Let's go to the house and take a rest, and I'll wait until tomorrow to talk about anything, okay? ”

The two of them teamed up to divert their attention, and Li Chengxu knew that this would make Ji Yuan and Wan Chun make a fuss, and he couldn't get angry. Only keep his face and snort: "Don't think that now that I'm old, I'll be fooled by you." I'm not joking about what I'm saying today, let's go back and reflect on it. ”

Wan Chun smiled lowly, seeing that he was not going to continue, Fang and Li Lanfeng and the Yu family carried him straight to the house. The servants below were relieved to see that the flames of war had died silently, and then they went back to their own work.

That Ji Yuan also pulled Bo Ol into his room, and the brothers had to grind their mouths with each other. Ji Yuan was the poorest, and when he entered the house, he smiled and said: "Big brother, you are more and more impressive to us, dare to talk to grandpa." ”

Because of the fact that the school could not be opened, he was very frustrated and very disappointed, sighed, and had to laugh at himself: "What a surprise, I almost kicked out of this house." Thinking of his and Wanchun's kindness, he said, "I still have to thank you and the fourth sister, otherwise my grandfather and I don't know when we will have trouble." ”

"You're welcome, big brother."

Wanchun was coming back from Li Chengxu's room, knowing that Bo Ol would inevitably be here in Ji Yuan, so she stopped by, and before she entered the door and heard Bo Ol's thanks, she opened the curtain and entered the door and said with a smile: "Grandpa has already rested, are you two going to talk all night?" ”

Bool smiled helplessly, he sat on the side of the couch, Wanchun looked around, and saw that the chair had been sat by Ji Yuan, so he also sat next to Bool on the sofa. Bo Ol said: "You two are also bold, and you actually touched the head at this time, fortunately, grandpa does not plan to pursue it, otherwise our three brothers and sisters would suffer tonight." ”

Wan Chun covered his mouth and smiled, and asked him: "I don't know yet, the matter of the eldest brother opening a school has not been decided yet, why do you say that you want to teach Japanese culture?" (To be continued.) )
