Knowing that Li Shimin had agreed to his marriage with Lizhi, Ping An Lang was so happy that he almost jumped up, but then he was a little shy, and said "It's all up to the father and His Majesty", and then ran out with a red face, this is also the first time Li Xiu has seen his son lose his temper like this, and he can't help laughing at the moment.

"Husband, do you really want Ping'an Lang to marry Lizhi?" Compared with Ping Anlang's happiness, Yi Niang asked a little unhappily at this time, after all, as a mother, she really didn't want her son to marry a woman with physical problems, even if the other party was a princess.

"Yi Niang, why are you here again?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say helplessly when he heard Yi Niang's words, "You also saw the appearance of his son just now, the child who is usually so stable is still shy because of this incident, and you know Ping Anlang's temperament best, he looks gentle and deferential, but he is actually very assertive, if we really force him to separate from Lizhi, I'm afraid he really dares not to marry for the rest of his life, and then we can't force him to marry a woman he doesn't like, right?" ”

"What's the matter, isn't my husband just forced to marry me?" Yi Niang retorted unconvinced at the moment, and even did not hesitate to take herself as an example, she and Li Xiu were really forced to get married, although it was very embarrassing at first, but after a long time, the relationship between the two has become deeper and deeper, which is a typical first marriage and then love.

"You ......" Li Xiu also felt like he couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Yi Niang's words, and after a while, he said helplessly, "The two of us are just special cases, and our sons are much more stubborn, you must know this better than me as a mother." ”

Yi Niang was actually just hard-mouthed, thinking of her son's appearance just now, she couldn't help but sigh at this time and said: "Forget it, as long as Ping An Lang likes him, I, the mother, will not stop him, it's a big deal to give him a few concubine rooms in the future, but the concubine must also get the consent of the princess, and then I have to discuss it with Lizhen." ”

"You also thought about this kind of thing too early!" Li Xiu cried and laughed again when he heard Yi Niang's words, Ping An Lang and Li Zhen were just about to get engaged, and Yi Niang was ready to give Ping An Lang a concubine, so she felt a little sorry for Li Qian.

"I almost forgot, Lizhi is a princess, and His Majesty also knows her physical condition, so when Lizhi marries, His Majesty will definitely arrange a lot of palace maids to marry, these palace maids are generally from a good background, and they are all people around Lizhi, so they can be more assured to be a concubine, so as not to have any fights in the future." Yi Niang didn't listen to Li Xiu's words at all, but was there alone and thinking carefully.

Li Xiu slapped his forehead weakly when he heard this, and immediately picked up his youngest son Li Le and walked out of the room, so as not to listen to Yiniang thinking about these things that had no shadow, by the way, he went to Princess Pingyang and Yuechan, and told them that Ping'an Lang and Lizhen were going to get engaged, and both of them were very happy, and immediately ran to Yiniang to help her prepare for the engagement.

Three days later, Li Xiu went to Zhongnan Academy to give a lecture according to the appointment, although he was erudite and talented, but now the students of Zhongnan Academy are mainly based on the imperial examination, and in the imperial examination, Li Xiu is only good at a subject of Ming arithmetic, in fact, with the introduction of symbols into arithmetic, now when the Ming arithmetic exam, mathematical symbols are also used, which also makes his book "Li Gongzi Arithmetic" widely circulated, as long as you want to take the Ming arithmetic students, almost everyone has a copy.

The most difficult and most striking in the imperial examination is naturally the Jinshi department, in contrast, the Ming arithmetic department is only a small subject, but the victory is that the imperial court has a relatively large demand for talents in this area, at least several times more than the Jinshi department, and compared with the Jinshi department, the Ming arithmetic department is also easier to test, so many people regard the Ming arithmetic department as a stepping stone to enter the officialdom.

So when Li Xiu came to Zhongnan Academy to give a lecture, almost all the students in the academy who wanted to take the Ming Arithmetic Department came, and even some students who didn't plan to take the Ming Arithmetic Department also came, after all, it was a very rare experience to listen to the famous Li Xiu's lectures, and in the end, three or four hundred people came, you must know that the students of the entire Zhongnan Academy were less than eight hundred, it can be said that half of the students of the academy came, and this is because many students have other classes to attend, otherwise there will definitely be more people coming.

So many people listened to the class together, this was also the first time for Zhongnan Academy, and the academy couldn't find a classroom that could sit so many students for a while, so it simply vacated a large warehouse, so that there was a place to hold classes, it is worth mentioning that Xiao Yu and some gentlemen who did not have classes today also came to listen to Li Xiu's class.

Li Xiu also prepared enough content, the first half of the session was mainly for him to talk to the students, and the second half allowed the students to ask questions, so as to increase the interactivity in the class.

The first half of the class went very smoothly, Li Xiu often lectured to the children at home over the years, in order to arouse the children's interest, the boring arithmetic was also talked about by him, the students of these academies are estimated to be the first time to hear such a class, after all, most of their husbands have a tense face, and the class is also serious, never joke with the students or anything, which also makes many people think Li Xiu's class is very interesting.

And in the second half of the questioning session, the students' emotions were also driven by Li Xiu, and they put forward the questions in their hearts to ask Li Xiu for advice.

In fact, strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a crooked topic, but the questions raised are slowly beyond the scope of arithmetic, for example, someone asks how to measure the distance between the moon and the earth, which requires the knowledge of astronomy and arithmetic, and thanks to Li Xiu's understanding of more, so these questions are not difficult for him, as a result, these students see that Li Xiu does not refuse, and the questions asked later are even more outrageous, some of them are not arithmetic content at all, but Li Xiu is still fluent in answers, which makes students admire and admire.

After a class, all the students were impressed by Li Xiu's erudition, and Xiao Yu and others were even more impressed, especially the way Li Xiu lectured, while speaking, he also had to draw pictures on the blackboard, so as to enhance the students' understanding, which made them also have an eye-opening feeling, and they could also use it in teaching in the future.

In the following period of time, Li Xiu also went to Zhongnan Academy to give lectures every once in a while, and every time there were many listeners, and even some people who were not students of the academy were also famous to listen to the lectures, some of them were students of Nanshan Academy, although the two academies were competitors, but Xiao Yu was very generous, as long as the other party was willing to come, he would never drive the other party away.

The engagement between Ping An Lang and Li Zhen is also in intense preparations, and the date of engagement has also been set, just on the twentieth day of this year's lunar month, it is said that it is a good day that Qin Tianjian calculated for a long time, and this matter has now spread out, and the result has also attracted the attention of many people for a while, after all, one is the princess of the royal family, and the other is the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, and the combination of the two is enough to cause a small shock.

It is worth mentioning that after knowing that she was going to get engaged to Ping An Lang, she also cried with joy, and this matter was told to Li Xiu by her son, but there was one thing that was not very good, that is, Li Zhen was too shy, and as a result, she didn't dare to see Ping An Lang for a long time, even if Ping An Lang entered the palace, she couldn't see her, but this is fine, although engagement and marriage are different, but it is also a good thing for the two to reduce their meeting appropriately, so as not to cause gossip.

Lizhi is one of Li Shimin's favorite daughters, Ping'an Lang is Li Xiu's son, coupled with Lizhi's physical condition, Li Shimin also attaches more importance to this marriage, even if it is engagement, he is also ready to engage in a grand ceremony, Li Xiu has also prepared a rich dowry, although the royal family is not short of this thing, but this also shows the attitude of his family.

However, the last time Li Shimin went to Li Xiu's house, he was not only talking about the marriage of Ping An Lang and the two, but also the most important thing was related to Li Chengqian, but from Li Shimin's attitude at that time, Li Xiu had already found that Li Shimin would not agree to his proposal, and after this period of observation, Li Shimin really did not surprise him.

Of course, Li Shimin did not completely disagree with Li Xiu's suggestions, for example, he severely punished Li Yuanchang and other villains around Li Chengqian, and also transferred Zhang Xuansu, who had the strongest personality, out of the East Palace, Cen Wenwen and Ma Zhou and others no longer went to the East Palace to discuss politics with Li Chengqian, but Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda and others did not move much.

Li Shimin also became more concerned about Li Chengqian, and it happened that some time ago, Li Chengqian and the crown princess's first son was born, and Li Shimin personally gave the name Li Ju, and therefore also had a banquet in the palace to celebrate the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson.

But although Li Shimin took some of Li Xiu's suggestions, but for the most critical one, that is, the suggestion to let Li Tai leave Beijing, he has not done it for a long time, I heard that Li Shimin also considered letting Li Tai leave Beijing, but in the end he dispelled the idea, and the reason why Li Xiu knew so clearly was actually Cen Wenwen personally told him, because Cen Wenwen had persuaded Li Shimin many times to let Li Tai leave Beijing, although Li Shimin was moved by this several times, but in the end he regretted it.

After Li Xiu knew about the above, he didn't bother to care about Li Shimin's father and son anymore, and put his main energy on Ping Anlang's engagement, as well as teaching children or college students and other things, when he was free, he also tried to stay at home with his wife and children, or to visit Ma Ye and Qin Qiong, and now Qin Qiong also moved out of the city, and built a house near Ma Ye's house, and the two old men carried fishing rods every day, but Li Xiu found a strange thing in the past few days?
