At this time, there were slight footsteps of a few people outside the door, and they knew that they were not martial arts practitioners just by listening to the sound, and then the two maids pushed open the pavilion door, and Princess Changle walked in with a little baby in her arms. Behind her were Roulan and Li Lin, and when Roulan accompanied the princess to pick up the child, she didn't forget to pull him along.

Li Xian was the first to jump up and said with a smile: "I want to see if this kid is more like Changle or more like Suiyun." Of course, in addition to the joy of seeing his little nephew, he also wanted to avoid this embarrassing atmosphere for the time being, and said that Fang Chang, it was a big deal to tie someone up and take him away, Li Xian thought worriedly. But he soon focused on the baby.

Although he is not yet a year old, this little baby is full of energy, curious big eyes dripping around, inheriting the advantages of his parents' appearance, although he is still young, it can be seen that he will grow up to be a handsome and handsome teenager in the future.

The more Li Xian looked at it, the more he felt that the child's eyes were somehow very similar to himself, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug the child, although he already had several children, but he never paid special attention to them Li Xian was not a real father in essence, so holding this little baby was more difficult for him than holding a knife and gun. And the soft and delicate baby body also made Li Xian scramble, lest he hurt him with too much strength. However, the child seemed to be full of energy, and seemed to see Li Xian's embarrassment, giggling and laughing. Li Xian became more and more happy, and couldn't help but reach out and lift him high. Princess Changle exclaimed, "Sixth brother, don't scare Shen'er. The little baby was not only not afraid, but laughed heartily. The bright eyes were filled with excitement and curiosity. A warm current surged in Li Xian's heart, and this little baby brought Li Xian a parent-child affection that Li Xian had never experienced for the first time.

The emperor's family was originally indifferent, and he was not in harmony with Qin Zheng in the past, so Li Xian did not pay attention to his sister-in-law Li Lin in the past, until Qin Zheng's death, Li Xian felt guilty in his heart, and then he paid attention to Li Lin, but due to the estrangement in the past and the bitterness in Li Xian's heart, for Li Lin, Li Xian is more like a commander and a division commander than a father, he taught Li Lin with his heart, hoping that even if he can't inherit the throne, he can let this child inherit his mantle and become an excellent general. But for this little nephew, Li Xian loved it from the bottom of his heart, and only hated that this child was not his son for a while.

Li Lin looked at his father in a daze, he had never seen his father so happy, at this moment he couldn't wait to replace the little baby and appreciate the warmth of his father's arms. At this time, a hand gently stroked the top of his head, he looked up, and saw a Tsing Yi Xiushi looking at him with a smile, his eyes were so warm, Li Lin only felt that tears filled his eyes, he hurriedly turned his face sideways, not wanting people to see his cowardice. A trace of pity flashed in the eyes of the Tsing Yi Xiushi, then he turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Highness, don't tease Shen'er, if you break him, Zhen'er will be heartbroken." ”

Li Xianyi reluctantly returned the baby to Princess Changle and sneered: "Don't pretend, I heard the imperial sister-in-law and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that you were the one who liked to bully Roulan the most." I have never seen such a father, so I know that I am bullying my son and daughter, so it is better to give Shen'er to me, so as not to be angry with you, a bad father. ”

I almost crooked my nose when I heard it, this King of Qi used to like to watch my good shows, every time I met, I must not forget to make a little awkward, holding my hands, I sneered: "This son naturally can't be given to you, but you are also his uncle, so let's do it, if you marry the princess in the future and give birth to a county lord, I will let Shen'er call you a father-in-law." ”

When Li Xian heard this, his face was gloomy at first, he felt guilty for Qin Zheng's matter, not only dismissed the concubine, but also refused, this is something that many people know, he doesn't think that Jiang Zhe doesn't know, and he is naturally a little annoyed in his heart.

But somehow, after a while, he gradually felt that this idea was good, if this Jiang Shen became his son-in-law, then the son-in-law would also be half a son, but he would be satisfied, but although he now has one or two daughters, they are all concubines, and they are much older than Jiang Shen, if he wants Jiang Shen to be his son-in-law, he really has to have another daughter. Jiang Zhe let himself marry another princess and give birth to a concubine, which is not excessive, after all, Jiang Shen is the eldest son of Princess Changle, and his father is such a figure, I am afraid that many people will be worried about this family matter.

Thinking of this, Li Xian said in his heart that for this son-in-law, he also had to marry a princess. Besides, he also thought that now that there is no one in the family to preside over the feed, and those concubines are also unsupervised, just to leave them to fend for themselves. If there is a virtuous princess to take care of herself, she will save herself trouble, and she will not delay the future of those children. And it may be that seeing Jiang Zhe's family enjoying themselves, Li Xian can't help but feel a little guilty, and said in his heart, the so-called Qi family governs the country, and even his family affairs are a mess, no wonder he lost to the emperor, and the knot that has been depressed for a long time because of the defeat of the heir is actually a little loose.

The obsession in his heart was eliminated, Li Xian's brain immediately became flexible, and he immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Then we can decide, if I have a daughter-in-law, Shen'er will be my son-in-law in the future."

I look at my beloved son, my heart said, son, don't blame me for casually condemning your life and being my son, I'm afraid that this marriage matter can't be left to you to decide, even if I don't care, there will be people who care, although the king of Qi is stubborn, but he is a straightforward person, and his daughter should also be very good. But for your happiness, I'll give you a few more choices. Thinking of this, I said again: "That's good, it's not uncommon to get married by fingertips, but I don't want to wronged Shen'er, so let's do it, in the future, you will have more daughters, and let Shen'er choose for herself?" ”

Li Xian didn't care about his future daughter being chosen, and said: "Then you and I will high-five and swear to agree on this matter, there are so many guests in this matter as evidence, and Changle is also in person, you can't deny this marriage contract." ”

I smiled slightly, and said in my heart, if Shen'er has someone else in the future, it's a big deal to expel him from the house and let him be free, if he doesn't love fame, fortune and wealth, I can only be happy, will I blame him, besides, the so-called childhood sweetheart, said to be in love for a long time, in the future, Shen'er and King Qi's daughter will have the opportunity to meet, if that woman doesn't have the ability to make Shen'er tempted, then it's no wonder to me. Thinking like this, I raised my palm and said: "Of course I won't deny it, if His Royal Highness has a concubine and is compatible with Shen'er, this marriage is His Highness's unintentional, and Zhe has to come to the door to ask for marriage, unless Shen'er is not my son, otherwise this marriage will be decided." ”

Although Li Xian's military strategy is extraordinary, he naturally does not pay attention to the details of such words, so he also raised his palms and high-fived me as an oath, agreeing on this marriage of fingertips.

Watching Jiang Zhe and Li Xian high-five and swear, the VIPs in the pavilion had different thoughts, Lin Bi shouted in his heart, if the King of Qi reconciled with the upper echelons of Dayong because of this, wouldn't it be unfavorable to my Northern Han, but she didn't show her face, just smiled and congratulated, Li Kang felt angry in his heart, he didn't want to watch the King of Qi press on his head again, and even he had endless hatred for Jiang Zhe, but after thinking about it, how could it be said that there was something about this child, and he might not have the opportunity to distract their good deeds, so he didn't show any traces. But Gou Lian was really happy in his heart, and said in his heart, although His Royal Highness the King of Qi is stubborn, but the emperor really loves him, since he promised to marry a concubine, then this is a good opportunity to make up for the feelings between the emperor and the King of Qi, Jiang Zhe is really powerful, but in a few words, such a big problem has been solved, if the emperor knows, I don't know how happy it is.

No matter what everyone was thinking, they were all beaming, only Jiang Shen, who didn't know that he had been sold by his father, looked curiously at the various objects on the big wooden table in the middle of the pavilion. From time to time, I reached out and tried to touch those things, but the distance was too far to touch. couldn't help it, Jiang Shen's face was a little distorted, and it was about to turn into a downpour. The door of the pavilion was slammed open all of a sudden, and Lin Tong, who came in a hurry, asked loudly: "Have you started to catch Zhou, what have you caught?" The little baby was also startled, and was scared back before the tears dropped, forgetting the crying Jiang Shen, and looked at Lin Tong curiously.

Princess Changle smiled slightly, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and said in her heart, why didn't Suiyun discuss it with herself, so she gave Shen'er a finger for marriage. But after all, she was born in the royal family, and naturally knew that the more noble her status, the less likely she was to choose to marry herself, needless to say that Shen'er was her own son, that is, with Jiang Zhe's status in the hearts of Dayong and the imperial brother, even her husband and wife did not have the right to choose a wife for their son, and now Jiang Zhe has married his son like this, but it is also a rainy day, if he can make the sixth brother change his mind and no longer fight against the imperial brother, this is also a happy event. But seeing that the atmosphere in the room was dense and cloudy, King Qing Li Kang and Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping were a little confused, and they were having some worries about how to turn around, and when they saw Lin Tong recklessly breaking in, they smiled and said: "The county lord doesn't need to worry, it will take a while, the maid has already gone to invite the county lord, presumably she missed it with the county lord."

Lin Tong, who had been sleeping for most of the hour, completely woke up, apologized awkwardly, and retreated behind Lin Bi. Princess Changle saw that the time was almost up, and said with a smile: "Suiyun, I think it should start, otherwise Shen'er will be in a hurry." I looked at Shen'er's curious gaze and said, "Then let him catch it, I also want to see what Shen'er will catch?" ”

This catch Zhou is a long-standing folk custom, as long as it is a little more solid, people will invite relatives and friends to come to the party when the child is one year old, there are already many things on the wooden table in the center of Tingtao Pavilion, and Jiang Zhe and Princess Changle are not ordinary people, the items prepared by this grasp Zhou are also very delicate and valuable.

A silver plate contains a gold seal, two ebony plates, one contains three hardcover books, namely the Analects, Lao Tzu, and the Diamond Sutra, and the other contains a fine lake pen, Hui ink, rice paper, and Duan inkstone, and a boxwood plate contains an abacus, ingots and account books, and a red satin is placed on a well-made white jade qin, which is only half a foot long, and a pair of black jade crystal refined Go, which is priceless, and a short sword and a scimitar are placed in the black iron plate, all of which are green shark skin sheaths. Gold swallows, yellow velvet arm-holds, very luxurious. However, in the middle of the table is a box of pastries cooked by Princess Changle herself, which is fragrant and mouth-watering.

These items are very luxurious, even the powerful and wealthy King Qi and others can't help but feel a little too extravagant, King Qi looked at it, and said with a smile: "Since it is my son-in-law, then I can't wronged him." As he spoke, he took out a crystal clear purple jade talisman from his bosom and put it on the table.

Princess Changle exclaimed: "Sixth brother, this is the talisman you commanded the army, how can this be taken out for Shen'er to grab?" ”

Li Xian said with a smile: "It's just a scene, even if Shen'er catches it, I have to take it back, but I just want to see if this kid has the life of leading the army." ”

I smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed if Your Highness thinks so, those who lead soldiers need to be ruthless, I think Shen'er is a soft-hearted person, I'm afraid he can't lead soldiers." ”

Li Xian waved his hand and said: "This is not necessarily, who is born with a ruthless heart, in this king's army, many warriors didn't even dare to kill people when they first went to the battlefield, and now they are not as murderous as hemp, and their hearts are as ruthless as wolves?" ”

A hint of coldness flashed in King Qing's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The sixth brother is so enthusiastic, my third uncle can't help but express it." He untied an old bright yellow purse from his waist, embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon, and the purse was bulging, but he didn't know what was inside.

A trace of confusion flashed in Li Xian's eyes, others didn't know, but he knew what it was, when King Qing's biological mother died tragically, although Li Xian looked down on this usually cowardly brother, he still went to comfort him, but saw Li Kang holding his mother's makeup box and crying. Although Li Xian's surname was straightforward, he also knew that he shouldn't bother, so he watched secretly, and at that time, King Li Kang took a jade bracelet from his mother's makeup box and put it in the bright yellow purse beside him. And the next day Li Kang disappeared from the palace. Many years later, after Li Kang appeared again in the Dayong court, he always carried this purse with him, and others didn't pay attention to it, but Li Xian remembered it in his heart, and he was also quite touched by King Qing's filial piety. It's just that he and King Qing's surname don't agree, and second, Li Xian was the prince's party at the time, so he was not close to King Qing, and now that the brotherhood between the two is very weak and irretrievable, Li Xian naturally won't mention the matter of wanting to comfort the third brother back then, so Li Kang would never have thought that Li Xian knew the things in this purse.

I looked at this purse and felt a little strange, I wouldn't want something unclear, so I said: "I don't know what kind of gifts His Royal Highness King Qing has given, if it is too valuable, I'm afraid that Xiao'er can't afford it." ”

Li Kang said with a smile: "This thing is not valuable, it is just a relic of the late mother, if Ling Lang likes it, maybe our two families will also have a marriage." ”

I was stunned for a moment, just now I just said to let Shen'er be the son-in-law of King Qi, why King Qing came to propose marriage, at this time, I saw King Qing Li Kang's eyes fell on Roulan, and immediately understood, Mother's relics are naturally the best gift for his wife or daughter-in-law, King Qing actually wanted Roulan to be his daughter-in-law.

The anger in my heart can no longer be contained, although I betrayed Shen'er, I engaged him at a young age, but this does not mean that I can set the marriage of Roulan so hastily, in my heart, my son can naturally be casual, anyway, the worst thing can let him run away in the future, my daughter should be favored, not to mention King Qing's son who doesn't know what to do, even any child of the Dayong royal family, don't want to marry my daughter. My Roulan will marry a man who loves her like a treasure in the future, how can those royal children with three wives and four concubines be worthy of being Roulan's husband.

The look on my face became indifferent, and I said lightly: "Your Highness's kindness, Zhe is grateful in my heart, but Zhe Pingsheng cherishes this daughter the most, and her marriage is still willing by herself, and now Lan'er is still young, and it is inconvenient to talk about this marriage." ”

These words didn't give King Qing any face, and even I was a little worried that he would turn his face, but to my surprise, Li Kang's expression did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "It seems that the dog does not have this blessing, Mr. Jiang's young lady is naturally a golden and precious lady, and she deserves a better match." ”

This sentence seems to be envious and mocking, but Li Kang said it was very peaceful, I saw that he did not have a seizure, and I was secretly relieved in my heart, and I couldn't help but regret inviting him here, originally for his identity, after all, he was the prince of the dynasty and the brother of Changle, but he came here, not only made me an enemy, but also made the contradictions within Dayong fall into the eyes of outsiders, but unfortunately I couldn't hinder his face and the harmony on the surface, so I missed Roulan's life. Seeing that Lin Bi's eyes flashed thoughtfully, he also knew that I was afraid that inviting her over this time would be a bit more than worth the loss. It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world to take, and I secretly said in my heart, it's just that there will always be a way to make up for today's losses in the future. I barely smiled on my face and said, "Okay, Zhen'er, let Shen'er do it, I think he can't bear it." ”

Princess Changle smiled softly, put her beloved son on the wooden table with her own hands, and let him act since he was a child. Jiang Shen's eyes widened, revealing a look of joy and curiosity, he was still anxious to get those interesting things, but now he refused to stretch out his hand, just looked carefully.

After a while, the little baby began to move, and he quickly got up in the middle and picked up a piece of fragrant pastry......

I couldn't help groaning, I heard that if you go to grab pastries first when you catch Zhou, it means that the child may be lazy to eat in the future, although most of the guests will politely compliment, saying that the child will be well fed and clothed in the future. I originally wanted to take the pastry off, because I can't even love Changle's pastries, I'm afraid Shen'er can't resist the temptation, but Zhen'er said that this is the rule, and now sure enough, Shen'er will be the first to get the pastry.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing in the corner of the room silently, suddenly laughed, I glared at him, and said, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Li Shun said with a smile: "The young master is really the son of the son, didn't the son tell the slave that the son was the first to catch the pastry when he caught Zhou?" ”

As soon as he said this, there was silence in the room for a moment, and then Li Xian laughed, and although the others were in the way of my face, they were also smiling. I didn't feel a little embarrassed, but I thought to myself, in this way, others won't laugh at Shen'er, although Xiao Shunzi lost my face, but it was also meritorious to save Shen'er's face.

At this time, Shen'er had already put down the pastry, her big eyes turned around, she reached out and picked up the abacus, my heart trembled, and then smiled: "This is good, this is also good, Jiang is the most headache to manage the accounts, if it weren't for the help of his cronies to manage the industry, I am afraid that Jiang would have been poor and white a long time ago." Shen'er will be able to be shruded in the future, so as not to ruin the family business. "These words are not just comfort, I have the ability to start a business, but managing those trivial accounts is my biggest headache, fortunately I have been using my strengths and avoiding weaknesses, do not meddle in these things, if Shen'er is more shrewd, at least I don't have to worry about him becoming a loser in the future.

Then Shen'er dropped the abacus and reached out to pick up the exquisite saber, I thought with some regret: "There is obviously a sword, why don't you take it, who doesn't know that the people who wear the sword are often both civil and military, and the most people who hold the sword are reckless martial artists." ”

I walked around the table a few times with some anxiety, and said hatefully: "Shen'er, what's the matter with you kid, you were the second father to pick up the four treasures of the study, why don't you like books and pen and ink at all." Everyone in the pavilion laughed, those who were familiar with me were still there, King Qing Li Kang, Lin Bi, and Lin Tong all felt funny in their hearts, and they couldn't imagine that Jiang Suiyun, who was so talented, would have such a childish side. But I didn't pay attention to their looks, and looked at Shen'er wholeheartedly, hoping that he would give me some face.

At this time, Shen'er put down the saber and stretched out her hand to the ebony plate, and I was overjoyed and held my breath, for fear of disturbing him. Shen'er's little hand swept away, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone immediately became a mess, but he reached out to another plate, and I was secretly happy in my heart, and said in my heart, if I took the book, it would be excellent. Sure enough, Shen'er reached out and took a book, and then her little hand tore it curiously.

I only felt a buzz in my head, stepped forward, lifted him up by the collar of Shen'er, and scolded loudly: "Stinky boy, what's the matter with you, although I also grabbed a copy of Lao Tzu as a father, but the first one was to take the Analects, you are good, you actually hold the Diamond Sutra and hold on, what is not good, I want to be a monk, how can this be reasonable, throw this book away, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize a word, this monk can never do." ”

Princess Changle couldn't cry or laugh, and stepped forward and said: "Suiyun, don't be impulsive, taking the Buddhist scriptures is just a fate with Buddhism, how can you be a monk, catching Zhou is just a ritual, how can you take it so seriously." Let go, don't hurt Shen'er. ”

I said abruptly: "Yes, yes, I was too impulsive, who let this kid not save me some face." "I looked at Shen'er, worried that he would be frightened, but it was okay not to look at it, I couldn't cry or laugh at a glance, but I saw that although Shen'er was holding the Diamond Sutra tightly with both hands, the two little feet were shaking, swinging there.

I said stupidly: "The family is unfortunate, how can there be such a bad boy." ”

Li Xian couldn't help but smile and said: "Suiyun, you don't have to worry, I think this kid is naughty and lively, and he will be a good material for martial arts practice in the future." ”

At this time, Xiao Shunzi's eyes suddenly flashed, looked out the window, and said coldly: "He Fang master came to Jinghai Villa, the evil shadow Li Shun is polite, please show up." ”

I was shocked in my heart, although this Jinghai Villa can't be seen on the surface, but there are countless secret posts in this village, how can anyone break into here without being discovered?

At this time, a soft Buddha horn came from outside the door, and then someone said: "Master Li Shi's martial arts are so refined, it is really admirable to the old man, just when the old man sees that Jiang Tanyue is taming his son, it is inconvenient to disturb, and please forgive me." ”

Then the pavilion door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged monk in a gray robe stood with a smile, but I felt that my scalp was tight, and I said abruptly: "Master Cizhen, Jiang is not saying that it is not good to be a monk, please forgive me." "I secretly shouted bad luck in my heart, how could I let my words be heard by this master of the status of the grandmaster, if he thinks I am prejudiced against Buddhism, what can I do?

Master Cizhen smiled slightly, and said: "Lao Gao understands Tan Yue's thoughts, Tan Yue is about to stand in his age, and there is only one son under his knees, so it is inevitable that he will have deep hopes, but Lao Qu sees that this child has excellent qualifications, if Tan Yue agrees, Lao Qu wants to accept him as an apprentice, I don't know what Tan Yue's intentions are." ”

I blurted out that I was about to refuse, but when I saw Xiao Shunzi shaking his head gently, my heart moved, this Master Cizhen will never want my son to become a monk, Shen'er is a princess, and he is my only son, no matter how much Master Cizhen loves him, he will not let Shen'er become a monk.

At this time, Master Cizhen said: "Although Pei Yun is my Shaolin Dharma Protector disciple, now he is holding a heavy army, and it is inconvenient to meddle in many things on the rivers and lakes. ”

I know in my heart, or Shen'er is extraordinary, but I think this old monk is ** in order to hold a hostage in his hand, if Shen'er worships Shaolin, Xiao Shunzi and I will naturally never be embarrassed with Shaolin in the future, this old monk is still suspicious of me. But after thinking about it, Shen'er always has no quiet moment, it seems that he has no ability to make a fuss, if he practices martial arts, except for Master Cizhen, there is no better master in the world, Shaolin's martial arts are said to be the most authentic martial arts in the world, and if you don't practice well, you won't practice badly, worship such a master, who else will dare to embarrass Shen'er in the future?

These thousand thoughts flashed, and I said with a smile: "Shen'er can worship the master, it is naturally his blessing, but our husband and wife only have this one son, we only hope that he will grow up safely, and Cheng Huan will be on his knees, if the master takes him away, wouldn't it hurt our parents' hearts too much?" ”

Master Cizhen smiled slightly and said, "Lao Ke has decided to place an order in Chang'an Fuyun Temple for the time being, and now that Ling Lang is still young, Lao Qu can also stay at Mr. Jiang's house to teach temporarily." ”

I was overjoyed and said, "Deal." As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "In this case, Zheduo thanks the master for his kindness, but how could the master come so far?" ”
