After Yang Er and Qiao Ling left the newspaper hall, they saw that it was almost evening, so they sent the latter away, and hurriedly went to the palace to ask for peace. When he entered the Guanwen Palace, he saw Emperor Yang Guang of Sui put down his pen.

"The word father, don't let the two kings, and reward the sons and ministers to hang in the middle hall?" Yang Er invited An, and when he saw that his father's face was still good, he patted his ass.

Yang Guang smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "How come Ah Kid has learned this too?" Let's talk big in front of the courtiers, we want to save face, why are our families doing so much. ”

"Erchen is really serious, the word father can't be compared to Erchen for eight lifetimes." Yang Er was a little sneering and very aggrieved.

"Alright, alright. What do you think of the Eastern Turkic seal? ”

The Turkic Qimin Khan applied to come to the Eastern Capital at the end of the year, in order to facilitate the first day of the first month of next year to visit Emperor He Sui, Yang Er knew about this, and the concert that came yesterday afternoon, although it could not be discussed at the court meeting because of today's holiday, but the imperial court secretariat and the important officials of the three provinces were communicated in advance, how could Yang Er's connections not know? So I chose to go to the newspaper today to go around, and I also had the intention of asking for opinions in private, but Su You and Wang Zhen gave different ideas, but he listened to his father's blame just now, so he resolutely chose Su You's idea.

"Now the Turks are still subservient to the Great Sui, on the surface, last winter Wei Yunqi was able to go to the Turks to borrow troops to attack the Khitan with a golden arrow of His Majesty, and the Great Sui won all the achievements without spending a single soldier, so the Turks still have to be encircled, of course, we must also deter them, and we can't let them take our Great Sui lightly. Just now, my father also said, our royal family wants face, and the Great Sui also wants face, Qimin is here, of course, let him see a strong Great Sui, we can hold a carnival World Expo or something this winter. Yang Er began to say that he was afraid that he would not have the same appetite for his father, but when he saw that the latter kept smiling and nodding, he said the idea of half himself and half Su You in one breath.

"Oh, that's a new statement, what is a carnival? World Exposition? ”

"That's it...... As in the days of the nations, there will be alliances, and the sheep will be herded, and a herd will not be the same? It's better to send a hero post to invite dignitaries from all over the world to come to the Eastern Capital, and what we have to do is to show our prosperity, just like my father made friends with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Yangzhou, but what we want to show now is prosperity, and the focus is of course on the market Lefang Restaurant or something......"

"This false prosperity certainly costs a lot of copper."

"Upfront investment is inevitable, the key is to look at the return, there is always only the icing on the cake, where to find charcoal in the snow? Therefore, we can be extravagant, so that foreign countries can see the prosperity of our China, and they will come to the Celestial Empire to trade in the mutual market, and the continuous tax revenue will soon compensate us for our current efforts. In the stage of primitive accumulation of capital, some means will inevitably not be put on the table. ”

"Okay, my son is good." Yang Guang heard that what his son said was the same as what he thought, and couldn't help but applaud him, Yang Er was also very excited, his father was so good, so how good he did before was normal in his eyes, when was the last time he praised himself? Yang Er really couldn't remember it anymore.

Yang Guang paused, and then said, "Your newspaper is also very good, but you must do a good job, and you don't want to be in your position." ”

In addition to nodding his head in fear, Yang Er whispered again, "Erchen just wants to contribute to his father's great cause. ”

Yang Guang was silent, but seeing that it was almost dinner time, he invited him to eat together; Yang Er was excited, but what puzzled him was that his father's snacks were too simple, and the quantity and quality of the dishes were far worse than his own.

However, it is not illegal to spend time drinking, it is just a symbolic way of life. Yang Er comforted himself like this, but he also said to Yang Guang unintentionally, "Father, it's good to have a cook in Erchen, or ......."

"I can understand your thoughts, but to put it mildly, 'If a shoe fits, only the foot knows.'" I grew up in Yangzhou, and I like the food of the southerners, which may be different from your taste. Yang Guang waved his hand and stopped Yang Er's kindness.

Yang Eryi was speechless for a while, just eating silently, the rare scene of father and son filial piety has not been staged for many years.

At the same time, the dinner party in the house is also happy, the original generous house, men and women are not at the same table, but the house does not pay attention to these stinky rules, at this time to Yanbei to accompany the last seat, and the head of the family to protect the child is in the chairman. Laihu'er is nearly sixty years old, especially strong, can eat a pound of food, can also drink two pounds of wine, and the battle array is naturally not a problem, but due to the early death of his wife, the lifelong problems of his children still have to worry about himself.

At this time, the most worrying thing about Laihu'er is, of course, the baby daughter, after all, if anyone gives birth to five or six sons in a row, they will be a little aesthetically fatigued, not to mention that Laiyanbei has been a good girl since she was a child, and Laihuer even pinned the unfinished dreams of her youth on Laiyanbei.

Dinner was almost over, Laihu'er just put down the bowl for a while, and the Laihong brothers seemed to have made an appointment in advance, and they all withdrew, and Lai Yanbei needless to say that this was the meaning of his father to talk to him alone.

"Yanbei, take a walk with your father?"

Lai Yanbei nodded, and the two walked to the back garden.

At this time, the sun was setting, the cold wind was gusting, and the snow on the canopy was blown down to the path from time to time. It was a small square on the west side of the backyard, where Lai Yanbei often rode horses and archery with several brothers, and sometimes fought against each other, leaving her with too many memories here.

"I want to have a good chat with my father, but I don't know how to speak, right?" Lai Hu'er's eyes were falling on the weapon rack at this time, although she didn't look at her daughter, she seemed to know what she wanted to say, Lai Yanbei was guessed by her father's thoughts, and she was embarrassed for a while, so she just nodded, but this was just her subconscious, originally she was standing behind her father.

"Daughter, I heard that you have not moved your sword and gun for nearly three months, don't you hear the truth that 'if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you don't like it, you will be worried, and if you can't, you will die'?" Lai Hu'er's voice is very calm, although there is a sense of reproach, but it makes people feel more concerned.

"Does Father also pay attention to black and white?"

"Definitely. Once you slack off, you have to spend more effort to remedy it, such as sailing against the current, as soon as you put away the oars and don't row, the boat will be washed downstream by the water. If there is this idiom at this time, he may not have to work so hard, but it can also be seen that he created this idiom at this time.

"My daughter knows, and she will pick up the sword again tomorrow." Lai Yanbei saw that his father hated iron and steel, and hurriedly agreed, but in the end, whether he insisted on it or not, he just said that he had indeed fallen recently, and he didn't even know what he wanted, and what he had been insisting on.

"I've probably heard about you, a few days ago, Su Wei intended to marry me, and his parent Sun Sucan is also a talent......

"Father." Coming to Yanbei at this time, he heard his father talk about Su Wei's family affairs, but he immediately thought of another person surnamed Su.

"Even so, of course the father can't agree, at least come back and ask his daughter?" What Lai Hu'er said was purely to make fun of his daughter, although he didn't pay much attention to the rules of the door valve, but the "words of the matchmaker of the parents" in the marriage are still traditional. As for Lai Hu'er's vague answer to Su Weiti's relatives, it is really because the latter belongs to the Guanlong nobles, and it is the target that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is currently dealing with.

Came to Yanbei speechless for a while, it stands to reason that at this time should promise "but the father is the master", but he is unwilling, when he thinks of the red whisk girl, he can't help but feel a little envious, if he has nothing, maybe he will die and live later? It's just that she didn't expect Zhuo Wenjun, who was farther away from her, maybe they were more similar.

"I heard that the stepson Xiahou Yan brought by the wife of Yu Shiji, the servant of the inner history, is not yet married, the bow and knife riding and shooting are excellent, and he is born with a talent, and more importantly, Yu Shilang is a good person, I think you should have more common language."

"Yu Shilang is a good person, but he has been with his father all the way, but what does his daughter have to do with him?" When I came to Yanbei to hear my father say this, I didn't know my father's thoughts, so I pointed out his illness for the first time: first, Xiahou Yan is not necessarily a southerner; Second, is my father going to marry him to Yu Shilang?

"Haha, what's wrong with my daughter? If your father is in a hurry to let you get married, why do you talk to you about what you are doing? Let you learn to be a female celebrity well, isn't it over for a husband and children? ”

"Then the father is just making fun of his daughter?"

"Of course not, I heard that there is a very good child named Su Hengbo. What's more, he is just a scholar, he doesn't know what martial arts are, and of course the harmonious society is not very good at shouting and killing, but it is inevitable that there will be no one in case. ”

Lai Yanbei listened to her father's serious words, her heart calmed down for a while, but tears had flowed down her cheeks, at this time the cold wind was cold, but she couldn't feel the cold, and couldn't help but gently answer her father:

"I understand what my father meant, and I'll do my best."
