Rooster crowing.

Dawn.

Maybe it was the rain last night, and now Guangling City is shrouded in thick fog.

It's getting colder and colder.

Standing in the foggy small courtyard, Li Chenan was still wearing a cyan robe, and he didn't feel the chill of this autumn morning.

The true qi in his body was flowing naturally.

is not slow, but it is enough to withstand such an autumn cold.

The side room is the kitchen, and the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen faintly came, and Xu is mother had gotten up to cook.

He walked slowly in this familiar and unfamiliar courtyard, and before he knew it, he came to the door of the west courtyard.

This is the courtyard where Erniang and Li Chendong live.

He hadn't been in it before, but he didn't think there were any of the evil slaves of the past.

Now he didn't plan to go in.

Because when I went in, at most, I would say good morning to Erniang.

Instead, she will be more cramped.

But just as he turned around, a voice came from the courtyard.

The voice was so low that ordinary people would not be able to hear it.

Li Chen'an's facial features were different from ordinary people, and it was extremely quiet at the moment, so the voice fell in his ears.

It was Li Chendong's voice:

"Mother...... The child has spoken to his father. ”

"With a child's knowledge, although he is far from his brother, it is still possible to come and take a fame test."

"In Guangling City, our family is a scholarly family after all, and my father looks down on businessmen in his bones, so ...... I still don't think it's appropriate to open a shop. ”

"My brother is going to be the emperor when he returns to Kyoto."

"Our family has a small tea shop...... This father will definitely not agree, and he will lose face for his brother. ”

"So, I still want to go to Kyoto."

"My father has agreed, but he just asked me to ask my brother what he meant."

Li Chenan turned around, still standing at the door, the fog was too thick, he couldn't see anything.

Then Jiang Hui's voice came.

The voice was also low and harsh:

"Mother is not allowed!"

"What's so good about Kyoto?"

"Don't look at the prosperity of Kyoto, how do you know the invisible dangers behind the prosperity!"

"Mother is the only son of you!"

"You went to Kyoto, what should I do?"

“…… When the child is admitted to the fame and has the care of his brother, he thinks that he will be able to stay in Kyoto as an official, and then he will naturally bring his mother to Kyoto to enjoy the blessings! ”

Jiang Hui laughed.

"You kid......"

"Mother, I will never harm you!"

"Well, listen to my mother, it's okay if you don't do business, you can study at home...... In short, my mother won't allow you to go to Kyoto! ”

Li Chendong seemed to be a little excited, and his voice became a little louder:

"Mother, why?"

"Don't you want to add another Jinshi to our Li Mansion?"

"If the child can be named on the gold list, this is also a face for the mother!"

"So that we can at least raise our heads in front of my brother, why don't my mother allow it?"

It was quiet for ten breaths, and then Jiang Hui sighed leisurely:

"Mother, it's just not allowed!"

"At least not yet!"

“…… So when is it possible? ”

"Wait another three years!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Don't ask, we'll see it in three years."

“…… Mother, are you hiding something from me? ”

"No, it's not too early, my mother has to go and greet your eldest mother, and it's time to make breakfast."

There was a sound of footsteps, Li Chenan thought about it, and turned to leave.

When I returned to the main courtyard, my father Li Wenhan was already sitting in the pavilion.

He put on a blue cotton jacket and boiled a pot of tea on the stone table in the gazebo.

Li Chenan walked over, sat opposite Li Wenhan with a smile on his face, took over the work of making tea, and said:

"This autumn is getting stronger, even if you want to drink tea, you can cook it in the room."

Li Wenhan looked at this 'son' and smiled apologetically:

"I still feel more comfortable outside...... Last night, my father and father seemed to remember that he didn't drink a few glasses of wine, but somehow he was drunk. ”

"I can't remember last night when I wake up this morning...... It seems that he is indeed old, and the amount of alcohol is much smaller. ”

Li Chenan grinned:

"The main thing is that the painting screen is too strong, but it's better to drink less of this wine."

After pouring two cups of tea, Li Chenan handed over a cup:

"There's a lot going on in Kyoto."

"I'm going to sit at Zhongli Mansion and leave for Kyoto tomorrow."

"I wonder...... Don't go to the academy to teach, you can go to Kyoto with me, and I will raise you for the rest of your life. ”

Li Wenhan took the teacup, sighed for three breaths, smiled slightly and shook his head:

"This matter has already been discussed with your mother, and your mother took the idea."

"She said that you must be very busy when you become the emperor, and it is also troublesome to live in the palace and come out to see us."

"Also...... Dad couldn't bear this place. ”

"Back then, your grandfather resigned and returned here, and before he died, he handed over this Li Mansion to his father."

"He had only two wishes on his deathbed."

"Raise you."

"And then it's about the yard."

"So...... It's good that you're now grown up and on a path that a father never thought you would have! ”

"Then all that's left is to keep an eye on the yard."

Li Wenhan took a sip of tea and looked up at the thick fog, the wing room opposite was faintly visible, but there was a faint and sad taste in his eyes like this thick fog.

"Your grandfather is buried in Qifeng Mountain."

"On his memorial day, there is always a need for descendants to burn a stick of incense and a handful of paper, so it's better for us to stay here."

Li Chen'an sighed for three breaths and did not force it, he did not have the appearance of Li Chunfu in his mind, but when he was in Kyoto two years ago, he had an understanding of Mr. Chunfu.

"I think it's time for me to pay tribute to my grandfather."

Li Wenhan retracted his gaze and shook his head: "It's not appropriate to go now." ”

“…… What's not suitable? ”

"For my father, I turned over the yellow calendar, and these days are not good. Wait a little longer, wait for you to ascend the throne, wait for you to govern Ningguo into a truly peaceful and prosperous world......"

"I think that's what your grandfather would like to see the most."

"When that time comes, you will go to his grave to pay respects, and he will be happier."

Li Chenan nodded, because Li Wenhan's words made sense.

"Son, being an emperor is a chore."

"Actually...... Hey, in short, after going to Kyoto, you need to be diligent and love the people, be close to the gentleman and stay away from the villain, and pay attention to your own safety. ”

"People are the most complex things."

"The human heart is the hardest thing to see."

"For the sake of profit...... Some people can do everything, you have to have two more eyes, be careful to make a 10,000-year ship! ”

Li Wenhan is not Li Chenan's biological father, but these words come from the bottom of his heart, which makes Li Chenan feel that kind of selfless care.

He nodded again:

"The child also knows that some people in Kyoto are not at peace."

"At present, Ning Guo is still in a situation of internal and external troubles, and there are indeed a lot of things to do, but please father don't worry."

He grinned: "If it's really troublesome, then the child will take that burden." ”

"Pat your ass and run away, let's go to live that kind of leisurely life outside the plug!"

Li Wenhan was stunned, "How can this be?" ”

He leaned over and knocked on the table:

"Man!"

"Men take it as their responsibility to support a family!"

"And you, as the emperor, should seek the well-being of the people of the world!"

"How can you give up so easily?!"

Li Chenan shrugged his shoulders and hurriedly changed the topic:

"Mother? Why haven't you seen her come out yet? ”

"She left before dawn."

Li Chenan was taken aback, "Where did my mother go?" ”

Li Wenhan sighed three times: "Xu is boiling rain and building a small building." ”

“…… What is she doing there? ”

A touch of desolation flashed on Li Wenhan's face, but he said with a smile: "Wen Boiling Rain entrusted us to look at a little Boiling Rain Xiaozhu, and he said that he would come back to live after he said goodbye." ”
