Li Yuan's eyes slowly became firm, and he seemed to have finally made a difficult decision: "You take more people and go to a place called Xiejia Village in the north of the city, it is best to make the momentum as big as possible, and take your brother Li Yin back to the Gongfu ......"

After Li Jiancheng heard his father Li Yuan's words, he was shocked and said, "Father, this ...... This is not good, even if you want to defile yourself, you can't just find someone to recognize as a son, this is to worship the temple and enter the family tree! ”

Li Yuan was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly: "He is really your own brother." ”

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

……

In a vacant lot in the courtyard of Li Yinxinzhuang, many people were consciously training there, and Zhou An leaned against a big tree, looking depressed and listless.

He is in his twenties, and he has never thought about marriage before, but when he first came here a few days ago, he saw a handsome woman, and somehow he met his eyes.

After Li Yin knew about this this morning, he immediately called a matchmaker and came to the door to say goodbye, but who knew that the matchmaker was soon blasted out by the woman's father, saying that even if he married his daughter to a beggar, he would not marry Zhou An, who had been a robber.

Because of this incident, no matter what Zhou An does now, he can't lift his spirits.

At this time, Zhou An suddenly saw Li Yin walking out of the door in a neat dress, he knew that Li Yin was usually shirtless, and he would only dress like this when he was doing business.

Zhou An hurriedly followed, "Young Master, where are you going?" ”

Li Yin smiled: "Go and help you snatch your daughter-in-law!" ”

Zhou Ansheng blushed and said, "Young Master, don't mess around, this thing can't come reluctantly." "Zhou An is really afraid that Li Yin will rob people by force.

Li Yin said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely show affection to your father-in-law, and I will understand it." As he spoke, he stepped out of the courtyard.

Zhou An was still a little uneasy, so he immediately followed.

The woman Zhou An fancied was a small family, living in a few low houses, and the woman's father, Luo Laohan, was tidying up farm tools in front of the door, and now he had nothing to do, if it was time for the ice and snow to melt in the coming year, it would be time to be busy.

Luo Laohan was obviously a little absent-minded at this time, he was thinking about his daughter's marriage. His daughter Ping'er is sixteen years old this year, which is the age of marriage, and she is good-looking.

This morning, there were two matchmakers who came to say goodbye, one of them was a good brother of the new landlord in the village, and the other was a scholar from the neighboring village.

Luo Laohan thought that both were good, and it was difficult to choose in his heart, but the matchmaker who said to the scholar quietly told Luo Laohan that the new landlord and his brother had been robbers on Cuiyun Peak!

After Luo Laohan learned this information, without saying a word, he blasted out the matchmaker who said goodbye to Zhou An.

Luo Laohan thought to himself, although his Luo family is a little poor, but his family background is white, so he will never let his daughter marry a robber, which will ruin the good reputation accumulated by his ancestors.

"Old man, are you busy?" Li Yin came to Luo Laohan and asked with a smile.

Luo Laohan raised his head, saw that Li Yin was dressed in a different temperament, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Li Yin raised his hand and pointed to his own courtyard in the distance, "I am the owner there, my name is Li Yin, and I am here to discuss with you the relationship between my eldest brother and your daughter." ”

Luo Laohan immediately turned his face and said categorically: "There is nothing to discuss about this matter!" ”

Li Yin had already prepared a lot of rhetoric, and was about to open his mouth to slowly persuade Luo Laohan, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the distance, and then a large group of people appeared in Li Yin and Luo Laohan's field of vision.

Among this team, the leader rode a high-headed horse, dressed luxuriously, and looked like a rich son with status, this person was Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang State Mansion.

Li Jiancheng went to Xiejia Village first, but now only Zhou Laohan is taking care of it, and after Zhou Laohan's instructions, Li Jiancheng brought someone to find here.

Behind Li Jiancheng, there were four people carrying a big sedan chair, in order to make the momentum a little bigger, he not only invited people who beat gongs and drums, but also asked people to hold a big flag and write a few gilded characters: "Tang Guogong welcomes his son Li Yin back to his house!" ”

Luo Laohan was illiterate, so he didn't know what these people were doing, and he guessed in his heart which big man should be welcoming his relatives, or maybe which big official was on patrol.

When Li Jiancheng walked to Li Yin and Luo Laohan's side, he got off the horse and asked Luo Laohan: "Old man, how to get to Lijiazhuang Courtyard?" ”

Luo Laohan hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, and said, "Just go straight there." He thought to himself: "What are these people looking for Li Yin, are they here to arrest Li Yin and his brother?" ”

After thinking of this, Luo Laohan glanced at Li Yin playfully, and then asked Li Jiancheng: "This son, are you from the yamen?" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "No, we are from the Tang State Mansion. ”

Luo Laohan was shocked in his heart, Guogong! That was an existence that a small people like him could only look up to, he glanced at Li Yin with some schadenfreude, and thought in his heart: "Boy, you are in trouble now, and you have offended the people of the Guogong Mansion!" ”

Luo Laohan then said to Li Jiancheng with great reverence: "Then dare to ask Gongzi to go to Lijiazhuang Courtyard, is there anyone to arrest?" After he said this, he slowly moved to a position, ready to wait for Li Jiancheng to say "yes", and he immediately took action to catch Li Yin.

However, Li Jiancheng replied with a smile: "I think the old man may have misunderstood, we didn't want to arrest anyone, on the contrary, we are here to pick up people, then the new owner of the Li family Zhuangyuan is the son of my father Tang Guogong!" ”

Luo Laohan: "Ah! He screamed and looked at Li Yin in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time. Li Jiancheng didn't stay any longer, and after getting on the horse, he led the people to Li Yin's courtyard with gongs and drums.

After Li Jiancheng and the others walked a little farther, Li Yin continued to say to Luo Laohan: "Old man, about my eldest brother Zhou's marriage to your daughter......

Luo Laohan blushed and said, "You...... Since you are the son of a dignified father, why didn't you explain it earlier? This...... Isn't this deliberately trying to make me look ugly! ”

As he spoke, he threw down his farming tools and went inside, but when he reached the door, he stopped, "When you go back, let the matchmaker come again!" ”

Li Yin showed a satisfied smile, and then made a victory gesture to Zhou An, who was hiding in the shadows, and Zhou An suddenly felt that happiness came too quickly when he saw it, which made people a little overwhelmed......

Li Jiancheng took people to Lijiazhuang Courtyard, and after explaining the intention to the people who received them in the Zhuangyuan, the person who received them said that Li Yin was not in the Zhuangyuan and asked them to wait outside for a while.

Before Li Jiancheng could say anything, a big man who followed him shouted angrily, "Do you know who this is? The eldest prince of the dignified Tang State Mansion! How can you let him wait outside? ”

The person who received it: "You said that there is no more 'sugar', and the owner of the village instructed that if a stranger wants to enter the village, he must get the approval of him and Zhou Ye." ”

The big man was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves, wanting to teach the reception a lesson, but Li Jiancheng stopped him with a smile, "Why don't we wait here?" And there will be no shortage of catties and shortages. ”

The big man had no choice but to step aside indignantly.

Li Jiancheng and the others only waited for a while, and the person who received them saw Li Yin and Zhou An walking towards the village, and immediately shouted respectfully: "Owner! ”

Li Jiancheng immediately turned to look at Li Yin, and saw that he was the young man standing next to Luo Laohan just now, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, he subconsciously thought that Li Yin was from Luo Laohan's family.

Li Jiancheng felt a little embarrassed and said, "You are Li Yin?" I am Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang State Mansion, and I am here to invite you home. ”

Li Yin said expressionlessly: "Go inside and talk about it." With that, he took the lead and walked into the village.

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Yin to react like this after listening to his words, which was different from what he expected!

Li Yin and Li Jiancheng entered the living room to sit down with the guests, someone served tea, Li Jiancheng looked at the tea in the cup, the tea buds are delicate, the color is purple, and its shape is like bamboo shoots, so you know that this tea is the purple bamboo shoot tea produced in Lake and Changerzhou, this is a rare good tea, Li Jiancheng thought: "This kid's life seems to be quite good!" ”

After tasting tea, Li Yin said: "Tang Guogong has abandoned my mother and son for more than ten years, why is he suddenly taking me back to his house now?" ”

Li Jiancheng was speechless for a while, he couldn't say that his father made this decision because he wanted to defile himself.

After the two were silent for a while, Li Yin stared at Li Jiancheng and said, "It's not impossible for me to return to the mansion, but I have one condition." ”

Li Jiancheng hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?" ”

Li Yin said: "I need the Li family to give me a military officer, and it is at least a brigade commander or above." ”

The Sui Dynasty now implements the government military system, which is now a farmer and a soldier in wartime, and in a certain order, the guards take turns to practice. The commander was renamed General Ying Yang Lang and Deputy General Ying Yang, and his subordinates were respectively lieutenants, brigade commanders, team leaders, team vice-presidents and other positions.

Li Yin thought that he was just a white body now, and in the absence of any military merits, the Li family was afraid that he could only give himself a position at most, and the reason why he said that he wanted to be a brigade commander as soon as he opened his mouth was just to bargain.

Who knew that Li Jiancheng agreed: "It's no problem at all, I promise you." ”

He agreed so readily, but Li Yin couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself, "Should I have a captain?" ”
