Chapter 261: Dowry

After Li Changzheng returned to the Li Mansion and saw Li Muzhi, his father Li You, and his mother, he came to the small courtyard of his sister-in-law Li Shishi. Li Muzhi didn't say anything about his return home, but just encouraged him a few words, asking him to work hard for Ji Qingchen, which was unexpected by Li Changzheng, because the current Li Muzhi and Ji Qingchen are people in two camps.

And that is Li Muzhi's cleverness.

He is a person who will not put all his eggs in one basket, even if he fails, as long as Li Changzheng is there, the Li family will not fall.

And if the side he supports wins, even if Li Changzheng dies, their Li clan will not have a loss.

As long as his father Li You doesn't like Bingge, he only likes to read, and he is an idle person who knows how to enjoy. Therefore, in addition to encouraging Li Changzheng, it is to let Li Changzheng work well for Ji Qingchen.

At this point, the father and son are very consistent.

Because in the hearts of the Li family, they never thought of surpassing the Ji family, or that one day they would be able to reach the peak of power, the Great Yan Ji family's country has lasted for more than 800 years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, what they can do is to make their family strong, to be loyal to the Great Yan, loyal to the Ji family.

Therefore, Li Muzhi and Li Youcai taught Li Changzheng such a lesson.

And this is also the reason why Emperor Yan handed over the power of the military to the Bai family and the Li family, because these two families are more reliable than the other families in terms of loyalty to the Ji family.

When Li Changzheng came to Master Li's small courtyard, Master Li was stroking the qin in the pavilion, Li Changzheng heard the sound of the qin, he smiled, his aunt inherited the talent of his ninth aunt, and was very talented in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she was a talented woman in the Li Mansion, especially in the guzheng attainment.

And the song "Looks Together" that she is playing now is what Li Changzheng gave to Master Li, he heard Ji Qingchen play this piece very beautifully, and he thought that his aunt would like it very much, so he asked Ji Qingchen for the score and gave it to Master Li, but he didn't tell Master Li that it was from Ji Qingchen, saying that it was from the Seventh Prince Ji Man.

That's why there is Taici'an, Master Li said that the score of her piece came from the Seventh Prince Ji Man.

"Sister-in-law, are you practicing again?" Li Changzheng took a deep breath, walked up to the pavilion, and said to Master Li.

"The Long March?" Master Li was also stunned for a moment when he saw Li Changzheng in front of him, and said happily, "Aren't you imprisoned in the Northern Liao Palace?" How did it come out? ”

"Sister-in-law, as long as Brother Jiu wants me, I can come out at any time, but I'm too happy to play, I just don't want to." Li Changzheng said jokingly and sat next to Master Li. He is the same age as Master Li, although there is a generation difference between the two, they both live in the same mansion, and they played together when they were young, and Li Changzheng's father made Li Changzheng suffer a lot of bullying because of his concubine, and it was Master Li's safety and concern for him that made him less unfortunate in childhood.

Therefore, he has a very good relationship with Master Li.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of his sister-in-law just because he heard the music played by Ji Qingchen.

"Look at what you said, it seems that His Royal Highness Nine has some great magical powers!" Seeing his nephew, Master Li was also very happy, so he scolded with a smile, "How is His Royal Highness Nine doing?" ”

"It's okay! Every day, I either practice archery, play polo, draw and practice calligraphy, or read books, and then play the piano. Li Changzheng said, "But it's better than my sister-in-law's piano sound!" ”

"Uh-" Master Li stopped talking, she hadn't heard Ji Qingchen play the tune in this regard, so it was hard to say anything, but with this piece composed by Ji Qingchen, Master Li knew that Ji Qingchen's attainments in the guzheng were very high.

"It's just that His Highness's piano is good, if he gives his Jiaowei piano to his aunt, his aunt will definitely be better than her!" Li Changzheng said, seeing the sad look between Master Li's eyebrows, he wanted to make Master Li happy, so he said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, why don't Li Changzheng go and ask Brother Jiu for his Jiaowei Qin for you, do you think it?" ”

"Can you ask for it?" Master Li was a little moved, for Ji Qingchen, Fuqin is just a hobby, and Jiaoweiqin is just a treasure by his side, but for Master Li, Qin is her partner, another bosom friend of hers, and she will naturally be very happy to get Jiaoweiqin, which is one of the top ten famous pianos.

"Naturally, except for Brother Jiu's War Horse Shadow and War Sword Wolf Blade, as long as I open my mouth, he will definitely do it." Li Changzheng said proudly.

"Why can't you have a war horse and a sword? Are these two things more important than the others? Master Li asked curiously.

"Of course, the Xiying War Horse was given to him by the princess, so naturally he won't give it to me, and I don't dare to ask for it, he will beat it, the wolf blade was given to him by Li Qingyi, Li Qingyi is the teacher of Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu said that his achievements today are all because of Li Qingyi, so whoever dares to move this war knife is estimated to die quickly, as for the rest, he doesn't care, it is the Qinglong Horse Lance, as long as I ask him, he can give it." Li Changzheng said very seriously.

"He's still a strange man!" Master Li was stunned for a while before he spoke.

"Of course, otherwise how could I give my sister-in-law a score for you?" Li Changzheng said with a smile.

"Sheet music?" Master Li was puzzled, and then suddenly woke up, thinking of Bai Meng'er's words in Taici'an, so he asked Li Changzheng, "Long March, did you ask His Highness the Ninth for the music score?" It wasn't given to you by the Seventh Prince, right? ”

"yes!" Li Changzheng said, "At that time, Brother Jiu was not married, and he was embarrassed to give you things, so he would talk nonsense." ”

Indeed, at that time, Ji Qingchen was not married, and Master Li was not married, so he gave the things of an unmarried man to a woman who was not married, and the relationship was unclear. And Ji Man had already married a wife at that time, and his things were nothing to give to Master Li, so Li Changzheng said so.

"No wonder, the handwriting is so beautiful!" Master Li said in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that my grandfather is going to marry you to Ji Qian?" Li Changzheng asked.

"Don't talk nonsense on the Long March, it's the Eighth Prince, how can you call him by his name!" Master Li reprimanded.

But Li Changzheng was used to talking with Ji Qingchen when he was together, so he naturally didn't care, so he heard him say, "Does my sister-in-law really want to marry him?" The eighth prince is now one of the princes of the four major prison kingdoms, and he is also the son-in-law, maybe he will be the prince in the future, and marrying him has a bright future! ”

"And he is also the only son of the queen, if the sister-in-law marries him, this dowry must be very rich!" Li Changzheng said expectantly.

"The crown princess? My sister-in-law didn't like it at all, and she didn't want such power. Master Li frowned and said, "As for the dowry, the best dowry for a woman is a considerate and warm heart, and the best dowry for a man is a lifetime of accommodation and love." And the most precious things in the world are often free, but unfortunately many people don't understand it. will fight for something! ”

"This-" Li Changzheng was stunned for a moment, and said loudly, "Sister-in-law, you can't be talking about our ninth brother, right?" He went to leave the country to marry the princess, but there was no dowry, the only big gift was to kill the white horse Yicong who left the country on the school field, and on the way back to Dayan, he killed the tens of thousands of elite horsemen who left the country. As long as the princess's dowry was also stopped at Yanmen Pass, it could not be sent to King's Landing, but they are very affectionate now. ”

"It's a pity that there are too few men like him!" Master Li said in a low voice.

"Yes, that's why you can't marry Ji Qian." Li Changzheng said with certainty, "However, with Ji Qian's personality, Aunt Li Xianglan is very suitable!" ”

"Long March, are you talking about me?" Just as Li Changzheng finished saying this, Li Xianglan, who didn't know when Lu Dao appeared, suddenly asked Li Changzheng.

Li Changzheng was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Xianglan to suddenly appear here, so he smiled and said, "Aunt Xianglan, marrying the Eighth Prince may become the crown princess, there's nothing wrong with it, right!" ”

"yes, I don't think there's anything wrong with that!" Li Xianglan said with a faint smile, and at the same time she seemed to be joking with Li Changzheng and said, "Why don't you tell your sister-in-law now and let her give me this opportunity?" ”

"This-" Li Changzheng was stunned for a moment, his Aunt Xianglan is really direct, unrestrained enough! But at this moment, I suddenly heard Master Li on the side say, "You two don't joke! ”

"No kidding, we're serious." Li Changzheng and Li Xianglan said at the same time.

"Y-do you really want to be angry with me?" Master Li was a little angry.

But where did she know that what Li Changzheng and Li Xianglan said was true, Li Changzheng hoped that Li Xianglan could marry Ji Qian, and Li Xianglan also wanted to marry Ji Qian for the illusory princess.

However, seeing that Master Li was about to cry angrily, Li Xianglan didn't say that anymore, "Master, don't worry, today my mother said that I would give the names of several sisters in our house who are close to the age of the Eighth Emperor to the Queen Mother, and let the Queen Mother choose a daughter-in-law by herself." Maybe you're lucky, and you might not be chosen! ”

This is her plan with her mother Wang, slandering Master Li, letting the bad news of Master Li reach the ears of the queen, and then letting the queen choose one of them to marry Ji Qian, so that with the influence of the queen's bad news about Master Li before, there will be bias in this judgment, and when the time comes, her advantage will be the greatest, and this opportunity will naturally fall on her head.

In this way, she solved the problem without blood.

Moreover, if this doesn't work, she encourages Master Li to go to Taici Nunnery, so that the queen will choose her instead of Master Li for the sake of face.

Because the prince married a relative, he refused again, is this worth it?

"I hope so!" Master Li was not very interested in this news, so he said in a low voice. In fact, she has made a decision in her heart since she left Taici'an, but she has not implemented it yet.

When Li Changzheng on the side saw Li Xianglan appear, he didn't stay here any longer, said goodbye to Master Li and Li Xianglan, and left the courtyard in stride. However, he also gained something today, the first is to confirm that his Aunt Xianglan wants to marry Ji Qian. Second, for the sake of his sister-in-law's happiness, he was going to ask Ji Qingchen for Jiao Weiqin to give to his sister-in-law.
