Within a few days, Kangxi left Suzhou and went to Hangzhou, and Li Xu finally had time to sit down and chat with Wen.

"How do you feel about following the emperor these days?"

"The emperor still trusts me very much."

"That's good, that's good."

The Wen family knows very well that everything the Li family has now is because of Kangxi's trust, and if they lose Kangxi's trust, then all the glory and wealth of their family will disappear.

"Then what do you think, how about a few elder brothers?"

Li Xu fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he shook his head: "I can't say this either." But...... The eighth master made a good impression on me. ”

The eighth elder brother is indeed very popular, but in just a few days, the old and sophisticated Li Xu also has a good impression of him.

Wen shook his head and said, "Eighth Master? His background is a little lower. ”

Li Xu said: "The eighth master's background is indeed a little low, but it may not be impossible to succeed, as far as I have learned in the past few days, the officials and squires in Suzhou, but who have been in contact with the eighth master, have not said that he is good." ”

"To that extent?" Wen was shocked.

Li Xu nodded with a straight face: "Eighth Master, it's definitely not a thing in the pool!" ”

The news that Li Xu said made the Wen family have to think solemnly: "If you think that the eighth master has potential, then now while he is not yet gaining momentum, you can make friends first, but it is just to spend some money." ”

"My son will take care of it."

Li Xu thought for a while, and then said: "For some reason, when I met these elder brothers this time, I always had a sense of crisis in my heart. ”

Wen said in a low voice: "You mean, the prince ......"

Li Xu nodded, his face full of worry: "In the past few days, I have followed the emperor and had more contact with the elder brothers, I can only say that I am worthy of being a prince, and no one is incompetent, even the seventh elder brother who is the most indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is also confident." When the power of these princes is stabilized step by step, the prince ......"

"You see the problem too? But that's not there yet. ”

Wen stood up on crutches, Li Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and the mother and son paced slowly in the room.

Wen said: "For now, the prince's hope is still the greatest, and our family has always followed the prince closely, and we must maintain it in the future." In any case, if the crown prince can succeed to the throne smoothly, the benefit to our family will be the greatest! ”

Li Xu nodded in agreement, after all, their Li family has been betting on the prince for nearly ten years, and they have paid a lot, and they will naturally return a lot when the time comes.

Wen Shi said again: "However, since we have seen that other princes also have potential, then we have to prepare with both hands." ”

Li Xu understood: "Mother, don't worry, I will act cautiously." ”

Wen nodded, and then asked, "What do you think of the Ninth Master?" ”

"The ninth master is also a character, and the ability he shows now is stronger than the eighth master. But I don't think he's on his mind. ”

Li Xu said vaguely, but Wen Shi understood it as soon as she heard it, and she smiled lightly: "Just because you don't have that heart now doesn't mean you won't have that heart in the future." ”

"What does Mother mean?"

"No, I hope it's best if the Ninth Master doesn't have that heart."

Wen sighed and told his son about the Li family: "This time the big girl's actions will definitely make the ninth master look down on our family, and this impression is difficult to recover." Moreover, Jiufu Jin has already made enemies there, and it will be even more difficult to do anything in the future. ”

Li Xu was so angry that his beard turned up: "How did the Han family teach?" This is simply disgraced by our Li family! The emperor doesn't know what he thinks of us......"

Li Xu didn't believe that such a thing would be hidden from the emperor, no wonder the emperor asked him not to neglect his family because of an errand before leaving. At that time, he thought that the emperor was concerned about him, but now it seems that the emperor obviously knows about the big girl.

It's been decades of losing face!

After that, Li fell into a "deep situation" and was pressed by Wen to relearn the rules.
