The bearded guest was very defensive of Li Chengdao at first, but in the past two years, he began to allow the two families to marry, which is not only a change in the mentality of the bearded guest, but also a compromise in his interests, because he has realized that if he wants the Zhang family to sustain it for a long time, he must unite with the Li family.

"Yes, I'm old, and I obviously feel a little powerless in the past two years, and now I'm worried that if I sleep one night, I may not be able to get up the next day, and before that, I must also find a long-term plan for my children and grandchildren, originally those natives in the Americas are not a threat, even if the children and grandchildren are not filial, there is no need to worry about not being able to suppress those natives, but the people of the Li family who admit them are different."

When he said this, he saw that the bearded guest also showed a hesitant expression, and after a while, he sighed and said: "So now I also figured it out, instead of guarding against the people of the Li family who inherited them, it is better to unite with them directly, anyway, the number of Han people in the Americas is not much, if the infighting continues, maybe the natives of the Americas will take advantage, and my group of descendants are not filial, and there is no one among the hundreds of people who can provoke the beam, rather than handing over the foundation I laid to them to fall, It's better to just give Chengdao a treat, he's also my righteous son anyway! ”

"Uncle, you really think clearly, I'm afraid this matter will make those brothers of the Zhang family dissatisfied!" Although Li Xiu had been mentally prepared for a long time, he was still a little shocked when he heard the bearded guest say it directly.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, this Zhang family was single-handedly beaten down by me, I can give it to whoever I want, what are they dissatisfied with?" The bearded guest snorted coldly when he heard this, and then continued, "It's not that I look down on my children and grandchildren, even if I give the entire foundation to others, none of them will rebel like Li Shimin, and in the end they will only crawl at the feet of Lao Tzu and cry bitterly, begging me not to give the foundation laid to outsiders for the sake of blood and family affection, but unfortunately Lao Tzu doesn't eat this!" ”

The bearded man has a deep grudge against his unsuccessful children and grandchildren, and this is not the first time he has complained about his children and grandchildren to Li Xiu, but he has never thought about why his children and grandchildren have become like this, and the most important thing is not that he himself has not been educated well? Of course, Li Xiu only dared to think about these words in his mind, and he definitely didn't have the courage to say them.

"Uncle, does that Chengdao know what you have in mind?" Li Xiu asked seriously again at this time, although the decision made by the bearded guest was a bit incredible, but if the influence of family affection was abandoned, it was a very rational decision, and it would also have more advantages than disadvantages for the Zhang family, and even eliminated the crisis that the Zhang family would face in the future.

"I didn't tell anyone about this, but Chengdao is so smart, he must have noticed it, he has tested me a few times some time ago, and I have made some responses, but Chengdao doesn't seem to be ready to accept this, so I didn't make it clear." When the bearded guest said the end, he couldn't help but smile a little.

Li Xiu didn't know what to say when he heard this, although he was very supportive of the decision of the bearded guest, but if it was really announced, I am afraid that the children and grandchildren of the bearded guest would definitely make trouble, and then it would depend on the wrist of the bearded guest and the wisdom of Li Chengdao.

"But now Qi Niang is going to marry Cheng Dao, although Qi Niang is not my biological daughter, but she is my niece, your brothers and sisters are much better than my children and grandchildren, I will hand over the foundation laid to Cheng Dao, and he will have to give these things to him and Qi Niang's son in the future, so it should be regarded as the dowry I prepared for Qi Niang!" At this time, I saw the bearded guest smile freely again.

Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this dowry is too rich, you must know that the bearded man can rule tens of thousands of people in the Americas, have countless craftsmen, and control many mines, he can definitely be called a rich country, and take a small country as a dowry, this is not the courage that ordinary people can have.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully, because this is not the first time that the bearded guest has done this kind of thing, when he saw Li Shimin, because he was ashamed, he simply gave Li Jing all the money he had prepared for many years, and asked him to help Li Shimin father and son lay down the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that when he thought of the above, Li Xiu suddenly felt a sense of guilt, because he suddenly thought that Li Chengdao was sent to the Americas by himself, if it weren't for himself, the bearded guest would not accept Li Chengdao, and without Li Chengdao and these people, it is entirely possible for their Zhang family to dominate and build a country in the Americas, but now he can only give the foundation he has laid down to others again.

As soon as Li Xiu showed a guilty expression on his face, the shrewd bearded guest immediately noticed that he was quite in his heart, and then saw him laugh out loud, and then patted Li Xiu's shoulder and said: "You kid don't have to feel guilty, speaking of which, I got acquainted with Li Shimin because of your father, and as a result, I gave them all the savings of the first half of my life, and now because you got acquainted with Chengdao, the savings of the second half of my life will also be sent out, it seems that I don't owe the Li family in my last life, but you owe your father and son!" ”

"Uncle, I'm ......" Although the bearded guest said it easily, Li Xiu still felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he always didn't like to owe others, but now he owes the bearded guest a lifetime and can't pay it back.

"What am I, a manly husband, don't be this kind of little daughter posture, in addition, I know you don't like the second brother, but he is your father after all, and he is not too young, I am really worried that I will not have the opportunity to see him again in the future, so if you really feel sorry for me, go and visit him on my behalf!" The bearded guest saw Li Xiu's spitting appearance, but his eyes widened at the moment, he was bold, and he didn't like men to twist and pinch the most.

"This ...... Be! Although Li Xiu felt very embarrassed when he heard the words of the bearded guest, he finally agreed, he and Li Jing have always had no intersection over the years, even if they met face-to-face, they didn't see each other, and even the last time Li Jin was going to the military academy, Li Xiu didn't go to Li Jing, but went to Qin Qiong, because in his opinion, Qin Qiong was much closer than Li Jing.

"Okay, it's already the second half of the night, these words have been held in my heart for several years, and I haven't been able to find anyone to talk to, it's really uncomfortable, today I finally vomited, and I can finally sleep peacefully!" After the bearded guest finished speaking, he said goodbye and left, and Li Xiu personally sent him out of the room, and then watched him return to his room.

After the door of the bearded guest was closed, Li Xiu sighed, and then turned around to go back to his room, but just as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard someone open the door on the other side of the cabin, and then saw Li Yuan come over, with a smile on his face, and at a glance, he knew that he was looking for himself, which made Li Xiu sigh secretly, it seems that he doesn't want to sleep tonight.

"You talked with Brother Zhang for so long just now, what did you talk about?" Li Yuan came to Li Xiu and asked straight to the point, it seemed that he should have known that the bearded guest was in Li Xiu's room, so he waited until the other party left before coming out.

"It's nothing, just talking about some private matters, why didn't Your Majesty sleep?" Li Xiu also said helplessly at this time, the matter of the bearded man preparing to hand over the foundation of the Americas to Li Chengdao must not be known to Li Yuan, otherwise with his scheming, he may not be able to do something?

"It's been so many years, and it was only last time when I was about to leave, you called me father, do you still hold a grudge against me for not letting Pingyang marry you?" Hearing Li Xiu's title, I saw that Li Yuan suddenly sighed and said silently.

"This ......, let's go in and talk about it!" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Li Yuan's words, in fact, it was nothing to call his father the emperor, but he had been used to it all these years, and it was really difficult for him to suddenly change his words.

Seeing that Li Xiu didn't respond positively, the expression on Li Yuan's face also became a little lonely, but he didn't say anything more, and followed Li Xiu into the room at the moment, and then Li Xiu gently closed the door, because he found that Li Yuan didn't even change his clothes, and it was estimated that he had something to talk to him about for a long time, and it seemed that all the hard work he wanted him and the bearded guest to rest early was in vain.

After entering the room, Li Xiu personally made a cup of tea for Li Yuan, and then asked the other party to sit down and talk again, but saw Li Yuan take a sip of tea at this time, and then asked, "I heard that you and Xiuning have another son?" ”

"Yes, this child's name is Li Luo, Luo'er's name is taken from Luoyang, which echoes Jin'er's name very much, and this name is the first thing Qi Niang thought of." Li Xiu smiled and nodded, it is estimated that there was a bearded guest just now, so Li Yuan didn't talk to him about these family matters.

"Yes, yes, the name Li Luo is very good, Qi Niang is really a girl with a good blue heart!" Li Yuan couldn't help but praise when he heard Li Xiu's words, in fact, he had already known the name of his little grandson before, but he didn't know that it was taken by Qi Niang.

Speaking of Li Luo, Li Xiu also introduced the situation of his youngest son to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan listened very seriously, after all, Princess Pingyang was his favorite daughter, and for her son, he naturally also loved Wu and Wu, and he also took the initiative to ask a lot about Li Luo when he spoke.

However, after talking about Li Luo, I saw that Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I heard that last year, Cheng Qian's leg was broken, and my unfilial son even let Tai'er live in the Wude Palace, is there such a thing?" ”
