Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Marriage Date Is Set
Li Jiancheng received a reply from his father.
After Li Jiancheng's persuasion, Li Yuan no longer insisted on the marriage between Li Shimin and Guanyin.
In the letter, he said that it would be good for the people of the world to have a better choice for marriage, but it would be necessary to discuss it with their mother in detail before making a decision.
Seeing that his father was moved by his own words in his letter, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but be a little hesitant.
He thought to himself that if he could move his father, he would be able to move his mother.
Li Jiancheng immediately took the letter and went to see Mrs. Dou.
------
Mrs. Dou saw Li Jiancheng rushing over to her and asked, "What is the joy of Jiancheng?"
As he spoke, he asked Li Jiancheng to sit down.
Li Jiancheng sat opposite his mother, with a smug look on his face, "Grandpa replied."
Mrs. Dou was a little strange, "Didn't your grandfather just write yesterday? Why did you reply today?"
Li Jiancheng reported to Mrs. Dou about the fact that he replied to Li Yuan yesterday and Li Yuan replied again today.
and briefly told Mrs. Dou the content of his reply to Li Yuan.
When Mrs. Dou heard this, she seemed a little unhappy, and said:
"Bring your grandfather's reply, what do I see in his letter?"
Li Jiancheng hurriedly handed Li Yuan's reply to Mrs. Dou.
------
Mrs. Dou read the reply carefully, put the letter paper in an envelope, and put it on the desk.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Li Jiancheng, and reproached softly,
"Built, it's not that Ah Niang said you, without consulting me, you made an assertion and persuaded Ah Ye to push the marriage of the people."
"Is it the marriage of a brother that you should ask about?"
Li Jiancheng saw that his mother was unhappy, and hurriedly explained,
"Ah Niang, the construction is also for the sake of the overall situation."
"I think that if I can find a better family for my second brother, it will be more beneficial to my family and the people."
"Those who achieve great things should be informal."
"If we can make good use of the power of all parties and successfully gain the world, who cares that the people of the world have broken the marriage contract?"
------
Seeing Li Jiancheng's self-righteous appearance, Mrs. Dou knew that he was also thinking about the overall situation, and she didn't want to blame him too much.
But she can't let Li Jiancheng make a similar mistake again, thinking that she may harm others.
Mrs. Dou looked at Li Jiancheng and asked, "Do you think that the eldest grandson family has no use value?"
Li Jiancheng saw that his mother didn't blame him too much, and he mustered up courage in his heart and said:
"When I married the eldest grandson family, the eldest grandson Sheng and the eldest grandson Chi were both important ministers of the imperial court."
"Now that they have passed away one after another, the eldest grandson family is naturally not as good as before, and they basically have no influence in the court."
Mrs. Dou said slowly, "No matter what you look at, if you only look at its appearance, you can't make a correct judgment."
"Although Changsun Sheng and Changsun Chi have passed away, if you think about it carefully, your grandfather's position is not high, but how many of them are stronger than the Tang State Mansion in the land of Gyeonggi?"
"Strength is not based on official positions, but on real things."
------
Li Jiancheng savored what his mother said.
He reasoned in his heart and compared the important ministers of the court one by one.
Only then did I suddenly realize that my own strength was really unmatched around Chang'an.
Even the brothers Yang Su and Yang Yue, who were once in power, are not rooted in Gyeonggi, but in the Central Plains, hundreds of miles away.
It was only at this time that he really discovered how much effort his parents had put into planning today's situation.
Li Jiancheng said to his mother convincingly, "Mother doesn't say it, I really don't know this."
Mrs. Dou then asked him to think about it carefully,
"Look at the eldest grandson family again, apart from the Tang State Mansion, which one is stronger than them in Luoyang and Chang'an?"
"Is Chang'an City surrounded by the Eldest Sun Family?"
"The eldest grandson Chang is in charge of the forbidden army in the palace, and the eldest grandson Wuyi is in charge of the Gyeonggi Prefecture soldiers, can you take a look at who is the governor of the Hedong County Soldiers?"
As soon as Mrs. Dou analyzed this, Li Jiancheng saw that the influence of the eldest grandson family around Chang'an City was even greater than that of the Tang State Mansion.
------
At this time, he showed shame on his face and confessed his mistake to his mother, Mrs. Dou,
"Ah Niang, it was built and self-righteous, and it almost made an irreparable mistake."
Mrs. Dou took the opportunity to point to Li Jiancheng,
"It's not your fault, your grandfather and I haven't seen this before, or the people reminded me yesterday, and I was like a dream."
"It seems that we look at things too one-sidedly sometimes, which is a big taboo for big things."
"In the future, you have to think about things more deeply and thoroughly."
Li Jiancheng Nuonuo said: "Jiancheng will take it as a warning."
Mrs. Dou sighed, "There is no turning back from what we have done."
"Either we will build an inheritance for all generations, or we will destroy the whole race. There can be no negligence."
"It's like an arrow off the string, whether it hits or misses, it's basically decided at the moment it is released."
"Only by a good beginning can we finish well, and only by observing the subtleties can we know."
------
Li Jiancheng listened to his mother's earnest teachings and nodded frequently,
"Written down Mother's teachings."
"My marriage with the people of the world will be carried out according to the original agreement between Grandpa and Auntie."
Mrs. Dou smiled slightly and explained to Li Jiancheng,
"When it comes to weddings, we must consider all the details carefully, so as not to let the female family think that we are rude."
"If nothing else, you can arrange it."
Li Jiancheng got up and saluted Mrs. Dou, "After completion, retire, let's make arrangements."
He was just about to turn around and leave, when suddenly Mrs. Dou shouted, "Built, wait a minute."
------
Li Jiancheng stopped and asked his mother Dou, "What else does A-Niang command?"
Mrs. Dou asked Li Jiancheng, "This time, the messenger traveled back and forth between Hedong and Luoyang, but is there anyone else who knows?"
Li Jiancheng returned to his mother, "It was all arranged by Jiancheng himself, and no one else knew about it."
After Mrs. Dou heard this, she was a little relieved,
"That's for the best. Even so, you should explain to him, not to mention that he just came back from Luoyang and brought back Grandpa's letters."
"If you let the people know and ask me to see your grandfather's reply, how can I reply to him?"
She told Li Jiancheng about the worries in her heart,
"If I let him see it, it will hurt the feelings between your brothers."
"If you don't let him see it, he'll be suspicious."
"So, it's best not to let him know about it."
Finally, she explained, "Everything must be done with details and thoughtfulness."
After explaining, Li Jiancheng was allowed to leave.
------
Love, the most holy time is the first love.
It has nothing to do with fame, status, and lust.
It's just pure liking and attachment.
When the boy reaches the age of fourteen or fifteen, as his body grows, he has a hazy feeling of love.
Today's Li Shimin is already in the wind of Yushu.
As my father and mother continue to mention their marriages recently, the feelings buried in my heart have been suddenly awakened.
A few years ago, he already knew that Guanyin was his future wife.
But all along, he didn't know what it was, and what existed between the two was only brother and sister.
It's as if this kind of feeling is dispensable.
------
But unlike in the past, in recent times, the shadow of Guanyin in his heart can no longer linger.
The longing for Guanyin became stronger and stronger, and the thought of seeing her could not be contained.
Li Shimin was a little distraught.
He stupidly thought about Guanyin's rudeness, her naughtiness, and her sly smile.
He cared about her current situation, and he imagined Guanyin's current appearance.
Li Shimin expects Guanyin to appear by his side now.
This is a kind of concern, and it is also a kind of longing that cannot be replaced by any emotion.
------
Li Shimin looked in the direction of Chang'an, looking at it.
He had a longing, longing for Guanyin to stand in front of him now.
He had an urge to go on a long trip, and he wanted to go to Chang'an.
Even if he could look at Guanyin from a distance, he was satisfied.
Once the idea of returning to Chang'an appeared, it could no longer be suppressed.
Li Shimin wanted to leave as soon as he wanted, and set off immediately on a fast horse.
But reason told him that a long journey that he said would not work, and that he needed his mother's approval.
------
Not long after Li Jiancheng left, Li Shimin followed and came to find Mrs. Dou.
When he arrived at the door of the upper room, Li Shimin asked Qingyan standing at the door,
"What is A-Niang doing?"
Seeing that it was Li Shimin, Qing Yan bowed his knees and said:
"The mistress is playing chess in the room."
Li Shimin didn't let her report and went directly into the room.
------
I saw that my mother, Mrs. Dou, was sitting on the Luohan bed and playing chess with the maid Zifu.
Mrs. Dou had just left a son, and she raised her eyes to see Li Shimin walking in lightly.
She asked nonchalantly, "The people are coming?"
Li Shimin sat down next to Mrs. Dou and said with a smile:
"Ah Niang, the people of the world have something to ask you."
Mrs. Dou sat up straight, twisted her face and looked Li Shimin up and down.
Look at his flattering appearance, laughing and quipping,
"It seems that the ghosts and ghosts are not a good thing."
-----
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Shimin is already a heroic young man.
But in the eyes of Mrs. Dou, he is still a child who has not grown up.
Li Shimin took Mrs. Dou's arm and begged,
"A-Niang, I want to go back to Chang'an."
Chang'an is about 300 miles away from Hedong, separated by mountains and rivers, and is not too close.
It takes five or six days on foot, and usually two days on horseback.
------
Mrs. Dou put on a look that it was impossible to agree, and asked Li Shimin,
"What are you going to do when you go back to Chang'an?"
Li Shimin casually said the words that had been thought out in advance,
"I haven't seen the eldest grandson Wuji for almost a year, and I heard that the family has split up this year, and he takes care of the grange in Xinfeng alone."
"He's the Lord of the Lang now, and I want to see how he's doing?"
Mrs. Dou was almost amused by his words, she deliberately found fault in Li Shimin's words,
"How can a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child who is not yet married be called the lord of the Lang?"
The mother-son relationship is deep, how can it be more true than the son's words.
Li Shimin deliberately made his mother happy, and deliberately justified himself,
"Although he is not married, he is the director of the house alone, and he is not much different from the lord of the Lang."
------
Mrs. Dou has guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, he wants to report to the eldest grandson Wuji in advance about his marriage with Guanyin next year, and everything else is secondary.
Hedong and Xinfeng are not too close to each other.
Today's world is not very smooth.
Let Li Shimin go to Xinfeng, Mrs. Dou is really not at ease.
