Xu Sheng looked at Xu Qinglin and said seriously: "Lin'er, you should know that you have a bright future in the future, and your future has nothing to do with the national fortune of Great Chu. ”

Xu Qinglin opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Xu Sheng continued: "I won't let you go to the capital, you should understand what it means, Prince Yu must have a big move on his side, the Xu family is rooted in Jizhou, which is different from other people's families, other people's families are mostly branches in Jizhou City, and my Xu family has been here for generations." ”

"Therefore, the choice of the Xu family is a little more decisive than that of other people's families, the old lady decided to let you go to Prince Yu's mansion, which is to put the hope of the Xu family's future in your hands, how can you have the kindness of a woman."

He paused for a moment and said with some annoyance: "Whether it's Tang Pi or Li Qi, they are just people who are not important at all, small characters, do you want to blame your father for such a person?" ”

Xu Qinglin hurriedly leaned over and said, "The child doesn't dare." ”

Xu Sheng softened his tone and continued: "You have to remember that no one or anything is important in front of the interests of the family...... The old lady has high hopes for you, and your father and mother also have high hopes for you, and because of these high hopes, do you know how many people in the family are jealous of you? ”

He patted Xu Qinglin on the shoulder: "What you also have to know is that no matter what your father does, it is for your own good, the life and death of Tang Pi is just like the life and death of an ant, and the same is true of Li Qi's life and death." ”

Xu Qinglin nodded again: "Remember, child." ”

Xu Sheng said: "Besides...... If Tang Pidi and his father were really clean, the imperial court would not be able to cure them, would they? If Li Qi is really clean, his father can't do anything to him, right? ”

He said in a very righteous and serious tone: "Since they have indeed violated the law of the land, why do you think that your father has done wrong? Father, this is not only defending you, but also defending the Great Chu Law. ”

He suddenly smiled and said, "As far as I know, although that Li Qi has a close relationship with Xiahou Zhuo, and Prince Yu's Mansion seems to be interested in this person, he is indeed not clean......"

Xu Qinglin didn't hold back for a while, and asked tentatively: "Father, do you want to drive Li Qi out of Jizhou now, is it also because Prince Yu's Mansion also wants to recruit him?" Is the father worried that his position in Prince Yu's mansion will be more important than the child in the future? ”

Xu Sheng glanced at Xu Qinglin and did not answer.

But the look in his eyes had already made an answer.

Xu Sheng is indeed worried that Li Qi and Xiahou Zhuo are so close, if they enter Prince Yu's mansion in the future, they will be reused.

People at the level in Jizhou City can actually see that although Xiahou Zhuo does not nominally have the status of a prince, nor does he return to the palace, and lives outside with his mother, Prince Yu's concern for Xiahou Zhuo far exceeds his concern for Yang Zhuo, the serious son.

Many people are speculating that in the future, Prince Yu will pass on the family business to Xiahou Zhuo.

Now the environment has changed dramatically, Prince Yu is plotting big, he wants to turn his family into a country...... Then Xiahou Zhuo will not be just a prince in the future, even if he is not a prince, he is also a prince.

Therefore, it is much easier to get rid of Li Qi when he is still a hidden danger than it is to get rid of him after he has gained a foothold in Prince Yu's Mansion.

The Xu family bet a large part of their future fortune on Prince Yu, and Xu Qinglin is the key to whether the Xu family can take another step forward in the future, because his age is the most suitable and his talent is not bad.

A few years later, Xu Qinglin graduated from the academy, just seventeen or eighteen years old, but at this age he was already a minister of the dragon, can't you still imagine what kind of scenery he was like when he was thirty years old?

The big family is planning more than just the present.

"Lin'er."

Xu Sheng's wife looked at Xu Qinglin and said, "Your father is far more far-reaching than you think, listen to your father's teachings in everything, he will not harm you." ”

Xu Qinglin leaned over and said, "The child understands, the father is all for my good." ”

Madame nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, if you want to choose an opponent, you have to raise your horizons, that wild child named Li Qi is just the dust under your feet, you treat him as an opponent, doesn't it bring your own identity down?" ”

Xu Qinglin thought about it, and it seemed that there was indeed some truth.

Madame continued: "Your opponent should be someone who is stronger than you, not someone who is far inferior to you, and he is not qualified to stand in front of you, you are still young and cannot handle many things by yourself, so your father will help you deal with them. ”

"Child...... Got it. ”

Xu Qinglin lowered his head and said, "It's all up to my father's arrangement." ”

Xu Sheng smiled and nodded: "This is my good son, and this is the bearing of the pillars of the Xu family in the future." ”

He looked at his wife and said, "You accompany Lin'er to lunch, I made an appointment with the general of the Wubei Mansion, and there is something recently, which can just be used." ”

He stretched out his hand, and Madame hurriedly went over to take his coat off the hanger and put it on, and carefully sorted it out for him.

"Master be careful when you go out, don't catch a cold when the wind is cold."

"Father was careful all the way."

Xu Sheng smiled and nodded, and then went out.

There is a military general's mansion in Jizhou City, which is under the rule of the Jiedu envoy, and the authority of the military general's mansion is to guard Jizhou City, and the daily patrol and security in the city are also largely managed in the military general's mansion.

After the curfew, the patrol officers of the Jizhou Prefecture and the Yamen only cooperated with the Military General's Mansion.

In other words, if something happens on the street during the day, it can be under the jurisdiction of the Yamen of the Jizhou Prefecture, but after the curfew at night, everything on the street is under the jurisdiction of the General Wubei Mansion.

What Xu Sheng wanted to see was Jiang Gaolin, the general of the Wubei General's Mansion, who was a close confidant of Zeng Ling, the envoy of the festival, otherwise it would be impossible to get such an important position under Zeng Ling.

Less than half an hour later, in the famous Xinghua Building in Jizhou City, Xu Sheng arrived one step ahead and had already set the largest private room waiting here.

Not long after, Jiang Gaolin came upstairs with a few entourages in civilian clothes, and Xu Sheng hurriedly greeted him after knowing about it.

They drank in the Xinghua Building for a full hour, and what they said, only the two of them knew.

Four Pages College.

Li Diudiu came to feed the Condor and the dog again, Gao Xining sat on the small bamboo chair next to him and looked at him, and he didn't know why, looking at this fool, she just smiled with her eyebrows.

"That's right."

After Li Diudiu fed the Condor and the dog, he turned to look at Gao Xining and said, "I suddenly remembered that Mr. Li from Shulin Building taught me some interesting things, and I will teach you." ”

Gao Xining smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

Li Diudiu moved to Gao Xining's side, folded a small wooden stick and wrote and drew on the ground.

"This is phonetic, which is convenient for children to recognize words."

He wrote down Gao Xining's name and then annotated it with pinyin.

"But what's the use of that?"

Gao Xining was curious: "Wouldn't it be good to recognize words directly?" ”

Li Diudiu rubbed his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, but I think it's at least useful...... We can use these bells and whistles to replace the real text, so that we can even have a secret language between us. ”

Gao Xining's delicate little face flushed slightly, she looked at Li Diudiu and asked, "Why do you have secret words?" ”

Li Diudiu said: "There are so many whys, you should think it's fun." ”

Gao Xining nodded and said, "Okay, if you think so, it's really interesting, you can teach me." ”

Li Diudiu squatted there to write and paint, Gao Xining's talent in martial arts is indeed ordinary, but the talent for learning these things is shocking, Li Diudiu just explained it roughly, she has almost mastered it, and even the syllable changes can be guessed a lot by herself.

It's just that he is still a little unskilled, after all, Li Diudiu has only been teaching for more than half an hour.

Gao Xining wrote Li Diudiu's name on the ground, and then phonetically voiced.

"Got a good one, lost it, right?"

Li Didiu looked at it and then spelled out: "I have to be scared..... Li Yiyi? ”

Gao Xining laughed, and he didn't know what was ridiculous about it, so he just smiled back and forth.

"It's fun, it's fun."

Li Diudiu: "Where is it fun......"

Gao Xining: "Li Yi, hahahaha...... Li Yiyi! ”

Li Diudiu: "Childish! ”

Gao Xining said: "I'll tell you to be scared in the future." ”

Li Diudiu thought of when he deceived people before, saying that he had a brother named Li Diu, and his name was Li Diu, which felt really a coincidence.

He said seriously: "It's not impossible for me to call Li Yiyi, but you also have to have a name that I can only call, even if this is a secret language among secret words, we still have to use Zhuyin to communicate." ”

Gao Xining thought for a while, and then said very seriously: "Then you can call me Gao Meiren." ”

Li Diudiu said: "Why am I called Beauty, and you are called Beauty?" ”

Gao Xining said: "With my beauty." ”

Li Diudiu said: "I'm still beautiful." ”

Gao Xining: "You're ugly, right...... How can you be ugly, eat lotus root? Hahaha, don't call Li Yi, when we contact each other in secret language in the future, you will call Li Eat Lotus, and my name will be Gao Meiren. ”

Li Diudiu: "Your praise is not enough, my name is Li Lotus, and your name is Gao Damei." ”

Gao Xining: "Good soil ......."

Li Diudiu suddenly sighed and said, "Da Mei, tell you something seriously...... In the future, don't you always think about telling me about your daughter-in-law, okay? ”

Gao Xining thought for a while and nodded: "Okay." ”

Li Diudian was stunned: "This is promised?" ”

Gao Xining snorted: "You really ...... It's silly. ”

Li Diudiu said: "Why do you think I'm ugly and stupid? ”

Gao Xining felt that he was really a fool, the kind of giant fool.

She is older than Li Didiu, and the girl matures slightly earlier than the boy, so she actually knows in her heart that she likes this fool, but the girl's reserve makes her unable to say it directly.

That's so embarrassing, she doesn't call it Gao Didi.

But this fool is really so stupid, he has no idea why he promised him not to tell him his daughter-in-law again.

Then Gao Xining suddenly came to his senses, this fool said not to call him a daughter-in-law anymore, could it be because he likes himself? So I don't want her to do that stupid thing again.

Thinking of this, Gao Xining's little face flushed again.

She bumped her shoulder against Li's shoulder and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Diudiu said: "What why? ”

Gao Xining said: "Why don't you want me to tell you about your daughter-in-law?" ”

Li Didiu thought about it and replied very seriously: "I think a man should start a business first and then start a family, this is what a man should think about, instead of thinking about the love of children at a young age, it is too superficial!" It doesn't fit my temperament of eating lotus root, you say, right? ”

Gao Xining: "It's your big head!" ”

She knocked on Li Diu's head, and there was a hint of resentment in those bright and beautiful big eyes.
