vs 54 Chapter 47 Quarrel
"There are no shortcuts." Wu Qianrou shook her head, "Sister Mengyu, let's invite the master back to teach you as soon as possible." ”
"Hey, there's no good life left!" Without the disturbance of the third aunt and the second lady, it seems that she is about to go to hell of study, not to mention that she has no foundation at all.
"Sister Mengyu is really lazy. Which lady didn't start learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child? You must be proficient in all kinds of talents in order to marry a good family and win the love of your husband. ”
Wu Qianrou's cliché words gave Mengyu a different feeling. She has always tried to please Mrs. Lin, so that her wife is unwary of her, and her father has pity, but in her life, she does not only live in this Lin Mansion compound. One day, she will have to get married and go to live in a completely strange place. If she marries unsatisfactorily, it will be even more difficult to have a comfortable life after marriage. However, if she is like Miss Jiang Si and becomes one of the top nobles among the celebrities in Kyoto, then wouldn't she be able to marry whoever she wants like Miss Jiang Si?
Or Mengyu's idea is a little naïve, but by doing so, at least she can get more choices than she is now.
"Yes, if one day I can marry Miss Jiang Si of the Mighty Marquis Mansion and marry the one I like~" Mengyu sighed.
"Sister, you are wrong, Miss Jiang Si can marry into the Li family, not because she wants to marry. But it happened that the husband she chose for herself was very much in line with Mrs. Jiang's wishes. In the words, the secret meaning is quite deep.
"Sister Wu, what do you mean by this?" Mengyu looked puzzled.
"Master Li of the Li Mansion is the Shangshu Order of the current dynasty, in charge of the six Shangshu, and the power in his hands is probably not something that people like us can imagine. My mother told me that if the Li Mansion really married the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, it would indicate that there was another fierce general on the big ship of Prince Cheng's Mansion. ”
"Then this time the Li Mansion and the Weiwu Marquis Mansion are married, isn't it that the Li Mansion has already decided to stand on the side of Prince Cheng?" In such a round-and-forth relationship, Mengyu thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out.
"Well, there are rumors like this outside, and I just heard my mother talk about it. My mother often told me about things outside, maybe she was afraid that I would get into trouble outside. ”
"Maybe Mrs. Wu is because there is no one else to talk to. But I remember that Prince Luo and Li Yanxu seem to have a very good relationship. "Thinking of the encounter with the two of them in Shuiming Temple, the two who are not familiar with each other should not travel together so intimately.
"Yes, among the four princes of Kyoto, Gongzi Xie of the Xie University Scholar's Mansion is conceited and never interacts with others, and Jiang Gongzi of the Weiwuhou Mansion has no friends like a lone ranger. However, Prince Luo's son has the closest relationship with Li Shangshu Mansion and Li Gongzi. So this is also the biggest doubt in the outside world. ”
"Then if Li Yanxu really marries Miss Jiang Si, won't he be able to be friends with the prince?" Mengyu frowned slightly, could it be that their relationship was just a general acquaintance?
"Yes, the son of the world is the most pitiful. Just because of political issues, I need to have one less confidant friend. Wu Qianrou was also full of regret and sympathy for the son.
On this side, in the Sakura Pavilion, two women with different identities sighed here for the matter of the two famous nobles in Kyoto. On that side, in Li Shangshu's mansion, a father-son dispute is being staged.
In the study of Li Shangshu's mansion.
"I don't know if the father summoned his son to come, what is the important matter to discuss?" Li Yanxu saluted his father at the desk.
"Sit down. It's hard for our father and son to have a day of rest together, and as a father, I just want to talk to you. Li Shangshu looked at the son of the imperial guard at a young age with a look of relief, and he had this son in his life, and his wish was enough.
"The father is serious, it is the son who is not filial, he has not found time, and he often gets together to talk with his father." The son's admiration for his father has been the same throughout the ages. The father is always an example for his son to learn from, and it is also the goal for his son to move forward.
"Good, good, good. So today, let's sit down and have a good talk. Li Shangshu pulled his long beard with satisfaction, and continued to speak: "You have always been very smart since you were a child. Even if he is in his current position, he has never relied on doing anything for his father. Your achievements have been quite recognized by my father, but there is one thing that your mother and I have always been very worried about. ”
Li Yanxu frowned, what kind of thing could make his mother worry about him? "My son is not filial, I don't know what worries my parents?"
"Naturally, it's your marriage."
"Marriage?" Li Yanxu immediately stood up and said to Li Shangshu: "Father, Yan Xu has just divorced from Miss Lin Jiasan, and the aftermath of this matter has not passed, I am afraid that mentioning it now will hurt Miss Linsan's reputation." ”
"Now that the marriage has been withdrawn, there are rumors in the market that have already appeared. Why bother with the Lin Mansion anymore? Li Shangshu knows very well that the relationship between their family and the Lin Mansion may not be repaired again, after all, the divorce has a great impact.
"After all, it was Yan Xu who was sorry for her at the beginning, if she didn't care about her reputation again, I'm afraid Yan Xu would really be swept away." Li Yanxu bent his waist down again.
"Why are you sorry? It's just that she is not in good health, is it possible that I want my Li Mansion to marry a sick girl as a daughter-in-law? How can it be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors up and down the Li Mansion. Li Shangshu looked disapproving.
"But she's ...... health now"
"Her health has improved, and it is also after the divorce. What does it have to do with you? ”
"But ......"
"Nothing!"
"Father, in fact, Yan Xu is still young, why do you think about it again?"
"The Father has thought about it. Last time, the Marquis of Wei Wu personally came to me and intended to bring up the marriage between Miss Jiang Si and you. ”
"Mighty Marquis? Miss Jiang Si? Father, I haven't said a word to Miss Jiang Si, and I don't know what her temperament is, how can I rashly marry home as a wife?! Li Yanxu stood up straight and replied righteously.
"You don't have to worry about temperament. I'm sure you've heard about Miss Jiang Si's reputation outside. No matter what it is, it can be said that he is proficient in everything, and he is a female red feeder, and there are many teachings at home. With such a good person, what else are you not satisfied with? ”
"Father, the son knows that she is very good, but the son really has no intention of being male or female to her."
"After she marries into the Li Mansion and becomes your wife, she will naturally have affection."
"If this is the case, what was the reason for the son to withdraw from the marriage with the Lin Mansion in the first place? It's because Miss Lin San and I haven't been masked. At that time, my father also understood very well, but how to ...... at this time" Li Yanxu was puzzled. When he first heard that he had a fiancée he was marrying to his fingertips, he resisted as much as he does now. At first, the mother tried to persuade her, but then the father appeared and said to the mother, 'The son is old and has his own mind.' Since he was unwilling to marry the third lady of the Lin Mansion, he withdrew from the marriage contract, that is. ’。 It can be said that the divorce would not have gone so smoothly without the help of his father.
"It's because she is the third lady of the Lin Mansion. He Lin was a scholar at the same time as me, and he is still only a cabinet bachelor, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to have any room for promotion. But the Weiwu Marquis Mansion is different, Prince Cheng is one of the most popular princes of the two princes, and Prince Cheng is from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, and Miss Jiang Si is the aunt and niece of the in-law. If you marry her, you can have a better development in the court. Li Shangshu hated iron and steel, why did his son admit death like this. Is there a woman from any family who can travel and talk with her husband before marriage? It's good to be able to see each other.
"Father, son doesn't need to use his own marriage to get a high position for himself!" Li Yanxu only now knew that his father agreed to withdraw from the marriage only because he had a plan, no wonder there were rumors outside that their Li Mansion was to marry the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, so they disregarded morality and divorced the Lin Mansion.
After speaking, Li Yanxu ignored his father who sighed behind him, threw up his sleeves and left the study quickly.
