Chapter 948: Departure Soon
"Father, eldest brother, what do you mean, why don't I remember what you really meant, father?" Li Jin saw his father laughing, and then looked at the helpless expression of his eldest brother, but at the moment he asked even more confusedly, at this time he even wondered if his brain was broken, why did his father and eldest brother understand things, but he didn't understand.
"Second brother, it's not that you don't remember, but you ignored some of your father's words, think about it carefully now, how did your father persuade General Qin to agree to admit the Wu brothers into the military academy?" Ping An Lang couldn't bear to let his younger brother be distressed any longer, so he reminded him.
"Father's words to persuade General Qin?" Li Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard his brother's reminder, and then said to himself, "My father said that it was because he was entrusted by Duke Ying Guo before his death, and he couldn't bear to let the Wu brothers ruin his reputation, so he wanted them to go to the military academy." ”
"That's right, that's the real reason why I recommend the Wu brothers to go to the military academy!" Li Xiu said frankly at this time.
"But...... But isn't this time the rhetoric you prepared to persuade General Qin, father, how could it be the real reason? At this time, Li Jin fell into the tip of the bull's horn and couldn't get out for a while, but asked again with a puzzled face.
"Fool, I have such a good relationship with General Qin, can I make up a lie to deceive him for such a trivial matter?" Li Xiu saw Li Jin's puzzled appearance, and couldn't help touching his little brain at the moment, sometimes it's not a good thing for people to be too smart, for example, it's easy to think about a very simple thing too complicated, Li Jin obviously made this mistake.
"That'...... I ......" Li Jin finally reacted at this time, opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say, and finally said with a small face, "It turns out that my father has already made it clear, but I still think nonsense, it's so stupid!" ”
"Hehe, second brother, you are not stupid, but smart but mistaken by smart, people like big brother and me are stupid, but they don't think too much." Hearing Li Jin's words, Ping An Lang opened his mouth to comfort at this time, and when he spoke, he was full of big brother.
"Jin'er, you have to remember, the reason why I recommended the Wu brothers to go to the military academy is because I don't want them to cause trouble anymore, and secondly, considering Ying Guogong's original favor, I can't bear to see their martial arts family fall, as for giving you the opportunity to vent for Mingkong, it's just by the way!" Li Xiu said at this time.
Li Jin is indeed very smart, but he can only be called clever, but Ping An Lang has a calm and atmospheric personality, so he can quickly understand Li Xiu's intentions, and Li Jin still needs to learn from his brother.
"I know, I will definitely appreciate my father's hard work in the future!" Li Jin also said very ashamedly at this time.
Seeing Li Jin admit his mistakes, Li Xiu also nodded approvingly, although his children have some shortcomings, they also have many advantages, which is stronger than many adults than the courage to admit mistakes, and now Li Jin is young and has strong plasticity, as long as he educates more, he will definitely be able to use his intelligence on the right path in the future.
"Father, since you let the Wu brothers go to the military academy for other reasons, can I still vent my anger for Ming Kong?" But at this moment, I saw Li Jin ask cautiously again.
"Of course you can, the Wu brothers are rampant and domineering in Bingzhou, doing a lot of illegal things, and they have also made Mingkong suffer so much grievance, naturally they can't be easily let go, and when they go to the military academy, although you let them go, but you also have to pay attention to proportion, the real purpose is to let them learn a lesson, not to let you simply vent your anger, understand?" When Li Xiu said to the end, he also said with a serious expression on his face.
"Father, don't worry, I know what to do!" Li Jin made a fool once, but he wouldn't be stupid a second time, and at this time, he immediately understood what Li Xiu meant, and said with a smile at the moment.
Don't look at Li Jin's young age, but look at the people who are good friends with him, the Qin family, the Cheng family, the Niu family, etc., all of them are behind the gate, even in a place with strict management like the military academy, he can still pull up a small group, and when the martial arts brothers enter the military academy, they are simply like sheep, and he can handle it as he wants!
It is enough to teach the Wu brothers a lesson, so Li Xiu didn't say anything, and when the father and son entered the house together, Li Jin pulled Ping An Lang and ran away in the blink of an eye, it is estimated that the two brothers went to Wu Mingkong to discuss how to rectify the affairs of the Wu brothers, and Li Xiu walked to the inner house.
As soon as he returned to the inner house, Qi Niang found him in a hurry, and the first sentence was: "Big brother, why did you come back, I've been looking for you for a day?" ”
"What, what's the matter?" Li Xiu seemed to be a little anxious when he saw Qi Niang's appearance, and he couldn't help but ask curiously at the moment.
"That...... There was indeed one thing, last year...... Didn't you promise me last year? What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Qi Niang suddenly became squirming at this time, and then said in a slur manner.
"Oh~, I know, don't worry, I've always remembered your affairs, but I have to wait a few more days, this time I plan to go to the south in the name of choosing a location for the bank, and I also have to prepare a dowry for you, although it is inconvenient to bring too many things, but I can't wronged you, after all, you are my only sister!" Li Xiu immediately knew what she was talking about when he heard Qi Niang's words, and replied with a smile, Calculating the time, the ship that comes to the Central Plains from the Americas every year is indeed about to arrive.
Hearing that Li Xiu was going to prepare a dowry for herself, Qi Niang, who had always been very arrogant, also blushed suddenly, but then she seemed to think of something, and then she showed a reluctant expression and whispered: "Big brother, I ...... Am I being a little too selfish to do this? ”
"Don't think too much, I'm still the same sentence, as long as you can live happily, no matter what choice you make, I support it." Li Xiu also walked in front of Qi Niang at this time, and then said to her softly, in fact, he also knew that as the time to go to the Americas approached, Qi Niang was becoming more and more reluctant to leave him and his family, but Li Xiu knew that if she really let Qi Niang stay now, I am afraid that she would live in regret for the rest of her life.
"Big brother, I ......" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Qi Niang was choked up and speechless, and finally plunged into Li Xiu's arms and cried bitterly. This made Li Xiu sigh too, and reached out to pat her back gently, but he didn't comfort her, after all, being able to cry out happily is also a good way to vent.
In the end, Qi Niang cried for a long time before slowly stopping, but her two eyes were already swollen like peaches, which made her a little embarrassed, wiped her tears and ran back to her room, and she was embarrassed to come out to meet people at dinner, so Li Xiu ordered someone to send dinner to Qi Niang and let her eat it in the room.
Wu Mingkong's mother and daughter lived in Li Xiu's house for a few days, and when the Nanshan Courtyard was cleaned up, the three of them also moved in, but when they went to Bingzhou, almost all the people in the courtyard were brought over, and this time they came back, and they only brought a few personal maids and a few henchmen with them, which was not enough to maintain the courtyard, and in the end, Li Xiu transferred some of the subordinates in the family to temporarily solve the urgent needs of their mother and daughter.
In addition to the subordinates, there is also a situation that makes people feel angry, that is, Wu Mingkong's mother and daughter came from Bingzhou this time, which is almost equivalent to leaving the house, except for the little private money that the Yang family carries with them, there is no other property, which makes it difficult for them to even guarantee their basic life.
In the end, it was Li Xiu who came forward, first counting their food and clothing in his own house, and in addition, he personally came forward to inherit some of the fields left by Wu Shi Tong to the name of the Yang family, originally these fields should have fallen into the name of the Wu brothers, but Li Xiu's face is big, and it is naturally a piece of cake to return these fields, not to mention that it is reasonable, you can't let the Yang family starve with her two daughters, right?
"Thank you, sir, for your help, mother asked me to thank you on her behalf!" This morning, Wu Mingkong came to thank Li Xiu, after a few days of busyness, their mother and daughter finally settled down in Chang'an, at least in the future, they don't have to fight against the snort of the two bastard brothers.
"You and I are teachers and students, don't be too polite, and your father told me to take care of you before he died, and now I am just doing my duty as a friend!" Li Xiu looked at Wu Mingkong, who was a little haggard in front of him, but sighed at the moment.
During this time, in order to settle down, the three of Yang's mother and daughter also spent a lot of effort, Wu Mingkong looked a few times thinner than before, and his face was not very good, which made people feel distressed to watch.
Hearing Li Xiu's words, Wu Mingkong was moved to tears, but she was a strong child, and she wiped away her tears and didn't mention it anymore, but she always remembered Li Xiu's kindness, and she also knew that her two bastard brothers were going to military school, and Li Jin would naturally be angry for herself at that time.
Seeing Wu Mingkong crying, Li Xiu also comforted her for a while, and then told her to come to class when she was free, after all, since her father died last year, her homework has been behind for a long time, even if she is smart, it will take some effort to make up for it, and Wu Mingkong also agreed to this.
There is still a period of time before the start of the military academy, and the affairs of the martial arts family have temporarily settled down, and at this time Li Xiu finally began to prepare to go to the south, although he is also very reluctant to go to Qi Niang, but Qi Niang has grown up after all, and it is impossible for him to let her stay by his side for the rest of her life, and now it is time for her to find her own happiness.
Qi Niang's dowry has long been prepared, it can be said that when Li Xiu brought Qi Niang out of the Li family, he had already begun to prepare Qi Niang's dowry, every time he encountered something good, he would keep Qi Niang as a dowry, but because of the long distance, it is inconvenient to bring too many things, so some large dowries can only be given up, but even so, the dowry alone is still loaded with a few big cars, and Qi Niang is also ready to set off at any time.
