"Is the master back?" The Red Whisk Girl took Li Xiu to the gate of the Li Mansion in Chang'an, and as soon as she got off the horse, a steward stepped forward to take the reins of the horse, and then the Red Whisk Girl asked, she estimated that Li Jing would definitely be summoned into the palace, so she asked this question.

"Mrs. Qiyu, the master has come back and is talking to Mrs. Xing in the hall!" The steward immediately replied.

Hearing the name Mrs. Xing, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, according to his previous memories, this Mrs. Xing has a special status in the mansion, although she is not Li Jing's wife, but the subordinates call her Mrs., and because the red whisk girl follows Li Jing all the year round, so the affairs of the mansion are generally taken care of by her.

However, this Mrs. Xing is not a good stubble, Li Jing is at home, she is more virtuous and generous than anyone else, but when Li Jing leaves, she behaves extremely mean, not only beating and scolding her subordinates, but even Li Xiu's concubines are often harassed by her, and the two sons she gave birth to are also of the same character as her, and they used to bully Li Xiu's brothers and sisters, and Mrs. Xing is also very protective, and it is Li Xiu who is punished every time, so Li Xiu has no good impression of this Mrs. Xing.

At that moment, Li Xiu followed the Red Whisk Girl into the mansion, and on the way he kept thinking, this time it was for the sake of the Red Whisk Girl's face, plus he also wanted to see his own sister, so he took the initiative to come to the door, but he didn't come to admit his mistake, in fact, it was really unclear who was right and who was wrong in the original matter.

It's just that according to the traditional concept of China, there are parents all over the world, so he can't show too much as a son, and he should take the initiative to back down and let him back down, but if Li Jing is still very angry after seeing him, and even says something like "don't recognize him as a son", then don't blame him for turning around and leaving, after all, he didn't plan to beg Li Jing to forgive him.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Li Xiu also felt a little confident, and after following the red whisk girl through several courtyards, he finally came to the living room, and as soon as he entered it, he saw a tall and powerful middle-aged man sitting in the hall, and he knew that he must be Li Jing without asking.

And there was a middle-aged woman sitting next to Li Jing, I saw that the other party seemed to be older than the red whisk girl, with a kind smile on a slightly blessed round face, which seemed to be very kind, but everyone in the Li Mansion knew that when this fat face was angry, everyone had to be careful, maybe if she was not careful, she might let her anger burn on herself. This fat-faced woman was the legendary Mrs. Xing, and when she saw Li Xiu coming in, she snorted coldly with disdain, turned her face away and stopped looking at him.

Li Jing, who was talking, saw Li Xiu come in, his face immediately turned up, staring at Li Xiu with a pair of tiger eyes, Li Xiu didn't intend to beg the other party, so instead of speaking, he stared at Li Jing without showing weakness, as a result, the father and son stared at each other for a long time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense.

Seeing that Li Jing's father and son refused to take a step back first, the red whisk girl couldn't help but be a little anxious, and immediately reached out and pulled Li Xiu's sleeve, then glared at him, and then said to Li Jing with a smile: "Husband, don't mention the previous things, Hugh finally came back, how about our family sit down and have a good chat?" ”

Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl have a very deep relationship, and naturally they can't help but listen to his wife's words, Li Xiu thought that he had been taken care of by the Red Whisk Girl before, and he also took a step back, and the attitude of the father and son at the moment also softened, and under the urging of the Red Whisk Girl, Li Xiu finally took the initiative to salute Li Jing last time and said: "Meet my father!" ”

Although Li Jing was still a little angry with Li Xiu, the other party was his son after all, even if he was not his son-in-law, he also had blood and family affection, so he didn't mention the previous matter again, and immediately said: "Get up, I heard that you have done a lot of great things during this time?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a coincidence." Li Xiu said indifferently, he really didn't pay much attention to those so-called big things, and Li Jing, as a father, didn't ask him how he was doing when he first met, but asked about those so-called big things first, which also made him feel a chill in his heart, it seems that the father-son relationship between Li Jing and Li Xiu is indeed very indifferent.

"Just in time? Hmph, then I want to ask, where did you learn all those weird skills, and why didn't I know that you still know how to heal? Li Jing was a little annoyed again when he saw Li Xiu's cold attitude, as soon as they met, he found that this son had changed too much, and he was even a little strange, he had never dared to talk to himself like this before.

Seeing that the words between Li Jing and Li Xiu were not right, and even the father and son seemed to be about to pinch each other again, the red whisk girl hurriedly interrupted their conversation and said, "Husband, you have just come back, don't be in a hurry to ask these things!" ”

Li Jing saw his wife's anxious appearance, knowing that she wanted to help herself make peace with Li Xiu, and her heart was soft at the moment, and when she was about to say something, someone suddenly rushed in and reported: "Master Qiqi, the county prince of Anyi is here to visit!" ”

"Why is Pei Ju here again, hasn't the husband already postponed the marriage for the time being?" The red whisk girl was also stunned when she heard the report of her subordinates, and said that the justice of Anyi County is the title of Pei Ju after his surrender.

"Alas, Madame doesn't know, after you left that day, Pei Ju has been pestering me to finalize the marriage, speaking of which, this matter was brought up by us at the beginning, and I really can't refuse, so I can only promise him to return to Chang'an to finalize the marriage." Li Jing also said helplessly at this time.

"What, it's so easy to settle, Pei Ju is very close to King Qin during this time!" Li Xiu couldn't help but shout when he heard this, although Pei Ju is not the evil king in the novel, he is not a good person, he doesn't want to have such a father-in-law who is not easy to deal with.

"What do you interject when adults speak, do you have a part in this matter?" As soon as Li Xiu's voice fell, I saw Mrs. Xing, who was sitting next to Li Jing and had not spoken, suddenly said angrily, as soon as Li Xiu came in just now, she looked at him unpleasantly, but with Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl there, she never found a chance to interject, and now she finally couldn't help it, after all, the marriage of children has always been decided by their parents, and Li Xiu has no part to speak at all.

"I'm married or you're married, if you get married, I will never intervene!" Li Xiu replied unceremoniously, not only did he not have any good impression of this kind and evil Mrs. Xing, but he was very disgusted, so naturally he would not give him a little face.

When Li Jing saw that Li Xiu was talking to Mrs. Xing like this, he also slapped the table angrily and stood up. "Bold, you're too big or small......"

"Alright, sit down and talk to me!" didn't wait for Li Jing to finish speaking, the red-haired girl next to her was also angry, and immediately slapped the table and roared angrily, the tigress is not powerful, and she really treats her as a sick cat.

The red whisk girl was angry, and Li Jing immediately sat down honestly, which made Li Xiu secretly despise in his heart, it seems that his cheap father and the famous Tang Dynasty minister Fang Xuanling have the same disease, and they are both bronchitis patients. As for that Mrs. Xing, she also lowered her head honestly at this time and stopped talking, after all, the prestige of the Red Whisk Girl in the family was still irreplaceable.

I saw the red whisk girl glanced at the three people in the living room, and then said to Li Xiu slowly: "Xiu'er, the marriage with the Pei family was agreed on a long time ago, although the marriage has not been completed, but it really can't be changed, otherwise it will cause a serious blow to the reputation of you and the Li Mansion, so this matter is decided, as for Pei Ju and King Qin are very close, it is just his business, as the so-called married daughter spilled out of the water, as long as you pay attention to it in the future!" ”

Seeing that even the red whisk girl who has always treated him well said so, Li Xiu didn't know how to refute it, this was not good in ancient times, everything was decided by his parents in marriage matters, Li Xiu, as a party concerned, did not have a little right to speak, and not only himself, but also the entire Tang Dynasty, even if they were princes or princesses, their marriage was also not under their control, otherwise there would be no tragedy of Princess Pingyang.

Thinking that everyone was like this, Li Xiu finally felt better. At this time, I saw the red whisk girl speak again: "But you don't have to worry about Xiu'er, I have seen Pei Ju's unmarried daughter before, although she is a concubine daughter, but whether it is appearance or temperament, she is one of the best young women I have seen, and it is a good thing to be able to marry such a woman!" ”

"Well, it's all up to my mother!" Since the red whisk girl said so, and also assured that the other party was a beauty and had a good personality, Li Xiu immediately agreed.

People always want to get married, and it's nothing to marry a beautiful woman without feelings, it's a big deal to cultivate feelings after marriage, in addition, he also believes in the vision of the red whisk girl, you must know that people can see at a glance that Li Jingfei, who was penniless at that time, is not a thing in the pool, and who can compare with such a vision.

Seeing Li Xiu agree, the red whisk girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Jing at the moment: "Husband, since Hugh'er also agreed, then it is better to invite Pei Ju here, let's discuss a good day and auspicious day, settle the family affairs, and then help them get married as soon as possible, after all, Hugh'er is not young." ”

Li Jing also nodded when he heard this, and immediately ordered his subordinates to invite Pei Ju in. Li Xiu saw that there was nothing to do with him at this time, after all, whether it was a marriage or a marriage, he had no part to speak, and he didn't want to see Pei Ju, the old fox, again, so he immediately said goodbye to Li Jing and the red whisk girl: "Father and mother, the child has not come home for a long time, and I want to visit Qi Niang first!" ”

"Okay, say hello to Qi Niang on my behalf, I came back this time and brought her some gifts, I'll give them to her later!" The red-haired girl smiled and agreed, although there were some twists and turns in the middle, but she finally solved this troublesome matter at home.

At that moment, Li Xiu turned around and left the hall, but he didn't notice it, just when he said that he was going to see Qi Niang, Mrs. Xing, who was sitting there, suddenly flashed a trace of panic that could not be concealed.
