A group of people came to Li Dongsheng's garden with great interest, and they were amazed by the beautiful scenery here. Then Li Dongsheng personally performed the tea ceremony for them in later generations, and the set of special tools and the smooth tea ceremony skills made them full of praise, and a group of local buns were eye-opening today.

In a house next to it, behind the curtains, Zhu'er was bewitched by her sister-in-law: "Just look, this is specially picked by your brother, he has no other skills, and he is still more accurate in looking at people." ”

"Where do you see it yourself?" Zhu'er is still shy: "Aren't all the elders in charge?" ”

"Your brother said, you are the one who will live in the future, and you have to be satisfied with yourself!" Qian Duoduo said: "It's the youngest tall one, who just took the exam this year, maybe he will be a jinshi in a few days." ”

The little maid beside Zhu'er was curious to leak a crack in the curtain, and then said, "Miss, come and see, it's so good!" ”

Zhu'er was aroused by the little girl's words, and secretly looked behind the curtain for a while, and then said shyly: "Anyway, my affairs are up to my brother." With that, he quickly withdrew. Leaving Qian Duoduo in the house, remembering that he was also going to look at it secretly like this in his own garden, the corners of his mouth curled up when he thought of the sweet place.

The noisy people were not sent away until after dinner, and Li Dongsheng came back drunk and asked, "What did Zhu'er say when she saw someone today?" ”

"She said, but it's up to you!" Qian Duoduo said: "I don't know what she means." ”

"That's agreed!" Li Dongsheng was thirsty, drank a few big sips of tea and said, "I'll talk to him tomorrow!" ”

"How do you know she agreed? Don't ask her? ”

"If she doesn't agree, she will say, I still want to stay at home with my parents for a few years!" Li Dongsheng looked at Qian Duoduo with disdain: "You are a woman, this mind is not as good as mine." ”

A few days later, the officialdom of Chang'an immediately became a sensation, and a holy decree was issued to choose a concubine for the King of Jin, whether it was a civil official or a military general, as long as there was a suitable woman in the family, they would immediately report to the imperial court, in this era, the status of women was very low, especially in the family, women were used to marry, even if they were their own daughters, as long as there were enough interests, they would not hesitate to marry them to the opponent.

Not all kinds of women can be princesses, there are a lot of requirements, the first is to have a good background, generally only officials above the fifth grade are qualified to report the daughters and granddaughters of the family, and they must be concubines, in addition, there are strict requirements for women's age, appearance, and personality.

On the second day after the holy decree was issued, Li Zhi came to Lantian Houfu, but unfortunately the door was able to enter, Li Dongsheng knew that he was here for the matter of choosing a concubine, but as long as this matter was opened, Li Dongsheng could not refuse, so he could only let him eat a closed door. Although I feel sorry for Li Zhi and let him marry someone he doesn't like, but the dead friend is not a dead and poor man, and he has to sacrifice you for the happiness of his sister.

Li Dongsheng asked Li Jing to come forward to find the elders of the Pei family, and quickly made a marriage between his sister and Pei Xingjian, as long as he was married, Li Zhi could only die of this heart. Pei Xingjian was overjoyed, he was just a side of the Pei family, and his father had died a long time ago, although he didn't suffer much when he was a child, but he was not a wealthy family.

Now such a big pie is smashed on the head, who doesn't know that Li Dongsheng is rich in the world, and he is both civil and military, he is actually his brother-in-law. When he saw Li Dongsheng, he was cautious. Li Dongsheng looked at it and laughed: "You are a manly husband, don't make a childlike posture, what you used to be or what you were before." I have only one request for you... ”

Pei Xingjian immediately said: "Master Hou, don't worry. In this life and this life, I will definitely be good to Ling Mei and never let her be wronged. ”

Li Dongsheng stared at him meaningfully: "I hope you remember today's words." ”

In the next period of time, the matter of choosing a concubine for the king of Jin was also carried out step by step, Li Shimin arranged for the eldest grandson Wuji to personally check the checks, and after many deletions, the three women's candidates were finally determined, and then reported to Li Shimin, Li Shimin thought about it seriously, and personally selected the woman of the Taiyuan Wang family as the princess of Jin.

Just when everyone was busy for the marriage of King Li Zhi of Jin, the latest Jinshi was released. Pei Xingjian ranked tenth in high school, Lantian Houfu was suddenly overjoyed, and his aunt was also a jinshi, which showed that the young lady was blessed, there was a second uncle of the prince, there was a brother of the marquis, and the husband of the jinshi, so good fate. Li Dongsheng is also very happy, and he has made a lot of money.

There is only one person who is an exception, in the palace of the King of Jin, Li Zhi said coldly: "Are you saying that this family affair was personally decided by Lantian Hou?" ”

A eunuch in his forties nodded, "According to my inquiry, it seems that this is the case. He took the person back to his home on the day he rejected the eldest grandson, and it is estimated that he made up his mind after showing it to his family that day. I guess it is... He looked up at Li Zhitieqing's face: "It is estimated that it is to prevent the prince from mentioning it to His Majesty... ”

"Is this king so unsightly?" Li Zhi waved his hand and swept all the four treasures of the study on the desk to the ground: "Would you rather marry Zhu'er to a scholar than marry me?" ”

The eunuch didn't dare to answer, where did Li Zhi sulk for a long time, and his hand tightened and loosened a few times before he exhaled deeply and said, "That person's name is Pei Xingjian?" Is it a child of the Hedong Pei family? ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, I remember him!" Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said: "Don't let me find a chance, otherwise I must make him look good!" ”

In the Taiji Palace, the lights are dim, Li Shimin is already lying on the bed, now he is not young, his spirit can't keep up with the heavy government affairs, and he has to get up early every day to go to the court, generally at this time, there is nothing important and no one dares to disturb him.

But today, Wang De hurriedly walked in, put aside the little eunuch who was about to block the way, and then ignored his dignity and humility, and came directly to Li Shimin's dragon bed and whispered: "Your Majesty, the guard of the East Palace, Su Gan Chengji, has a secret report, the matter is very important, please make a decision!" ”

Hearing about the Guandong Palace, Li Shimin suddenly became nervous: "What happened to Chengqian?" ”

Wang De approached Li Shimin and whispered a few words in his ear, and Li Shimin's expression changed greatly: "What? Did he really say that? ”。

"Hmm. Therefore, it is up to His Majesty to inquire about this in person. ”

A moment later, Li Shimin's bedroom was brightly lit, and a person was brought up with his head covered, and just took off his hood, before he could catch his breath, he heard a voice say: "Is it that you want to report the prince and prepare to rebel?" ”
