The carriage pulled the gifts, and the wife sorted out Zhuang Xun's clothes, I heard that Concubine Li went home to save her relatives, and Zhuang Xun and Siqin Mi went to prepare the dowry yesterday and did not come.

The main thing is that Siqin Mi buys, Zhuang Xun feels like she is marrying a wife, she buys everything high, and spends a lot of money, Zhuang Xun doesn't feel distressed, but he feels a little ashamed when he thinks that marrying Siqin Mi is just a red thread.

"The sticker has been sent, I will see General Li for a while, don't be angry, no matter what, don't be angry, it's already a chief official, and you must be happy and angry." Siqin Mi told him uneasily, before Zhuang Xun was about to get off the car, the charming willow eyes gave Zhuang Xun great confidence, and it was regarded as the last step, just like a mother who sent a college entrance examination student into the examination room.

"Lady, I understand, I'm not a child anymore." Zhuang Xun pressed Siqin Mi's hand, and had thought about many situations where he would be troubled before he came, but this was all done by himself.

But when the trouble comes, it is just to solve it, and we must always take out the attitude, instead of running away, and avoiding will not solve the problem, it will only make the problem bigger and bigger.

Walking out of the carriage and looking at the big Yongguo Mansion on the lintel of the high gate, Zhuang Xun reacted in a trance that Li Pingyuan had already inherited the duke's title.

It's just that compared with the public position of Yongguo Gong, the general of Chengguo seems to have a more respected status, so everyone calls him General Li.

But compared to the Siqin Mansion, which Zhuang Xun occasionally passes by, which is also a general, such a mansion is more stingy, which may also show the introverted character of the Li family, and he doesn't like to make some tricks.

The door was open, but I didn't encounter the worst situation, that is, the Li family was closed, and there was really no way to do it.

Now that he is willing to open the door, he means that there is still something to talk about, that is an opportunity, think about it carefully, the matter of Zhuang Xun and Li Ruxi has been known all over the city, Zhuang Xun can't come to the stage because of responsibility, and the Li family is so good that they can't get off the stage either.

"The imperial history visited, and the flowers shined." Li Chengzhi came out to greet him first, and he had already stood at the gate, smiling closely.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and your body is safe." Li Chengzhi's sincere smile made Zhuang Xun relax a lot, although he didn't know why the other party had a smile on his face for the man who was going to marry his sister as a wife.

Speaking of which, it started when I met the two sisters and brothers, and it was obviously the person who was pushed down by Li Ruxi, but he took Li Chengzhi to the top pot.

"Okay, sister...... Yushi, please come in quickly, Daddy and the clan elders are already waiting for you. Li Chengzhi said with sincerity.

Zhuang Xun couldn't have imagined that the tall and handsome young man in front of him with a friendly attitude wanted to greet himself with his sandbag-sized fist half a month ago, and asked him what he meant, did he look down on his second sister.

"Clan Elder?" Do you want to make it so big?

Do you want three sessions?

The clan elder will only appear if there is a major event in the clan, will it be so big to marry a Li Ruji?

"Don't worry, these clansmen always plan to persuade their father to agree to let the second sister marry you." Li Chengzhi broke the news and guided Zhuang Xun towards the door.

"What?" Zhuang Xun can't understand, who is helping him again, please move the elder of the Li family, Concubine Li?

"That's right, they're not on the same line as their father, they're planning to promote Yushi and their sister." Li Chengzhi replied affirmatively.

"Why?" Zhuang asked how this foreign aid came from.

"Didn't Your Majesty promise that if the good things of Yushi and my sister can be accomplished, it will return the four counties of Henan in Yuguo to Yushi?" Li Chengzhi said enviously that this can only be enjoyed by the married Li Ruji.

Domestically, even if these dukes have fiefdoms, they are only nominal and only provide finance and taxes, while these four counties are free of charge and completely controlled territories.

Only Li Ru's foreign marriage can mention this topic, even if this is the case, you can imagine the liveliness of the court meeting, and the opposition is very loud, and it comes and goes.

"That's right, the main thing is to reward General Li, and the inquiry is also stained with General Li's heavenly skills." Zhuang Xun said gratefully.

"That's it, the clan elder thinks that these four counties also have the credit of the Li family, and the second sister can only take it if she marries the imperial history, so there is a reason to take it." Li Chengzhi reminded Zhuang Xun and explained clearly why the clan elders helped Zhuang Xun.

"I see? No wonder, what do they want? It turns out that there are interests in it, no wonder he wants to step in, he said, how can someone be good to himself for no reason.

Mrs. Jiang is counted separately.

"I want the children of the Li family to be officials in the four counties." Li Chengzhi broke the news and said that there is a faint meaning that I am on your side.

"Is that all?" It's not hard to accept.

"Isn't Yushi angry?" Li Chengzhi was puzzled and said that many people are very disgusted with this kind of thing, as if they were nailing themselves in the nail.

"It's okay, there is no family in Xun, rather than letting the original people occupy the official position, it is better to change to the people of the wife family, and it is better to trust them." According to Si Qinmi's words, now that the poison is drunk, the capital also asks the Li family to send some talents, there is too much shortage of people.

Now I come to the pillow when I doze off, and there is such a good thing?

"Yushi is really open-minded." Li Chengzhi admired and said that after his father's ear and face, his basic political literacy is there, and Zhuang Xun, as the lord of a land, can trust the Li family, but he also has to worry about the danger of being overtaken by the Li family.

Without a family, this situation cannot be handled by others, after all, there is no family support, if a person dies, the hard-earned inheritance will immediately become someone else's wedding dress.

"It's not open-minded, it's just that what they said is indeed right, these four counties have a credit to General Li and the Li family." Zhuang Xun is clear, and he doesn't think that the Li family is excessive, and he has merit, and it is natural to ask for a reward.

"Yushi, you must like to die." Li Chengzhi found that his worries were a little redundant, if Zhuang Xun could make concessions on the appointment and dismissal of officials, the clan elder would definitely protect the marriage between Zhuang Xun and Li Ruxi.

"This is not right, now I hope that General Li can let him go." Zhuang Xun also discussed with Si Qinmi, how to borrow the power of the Li family, and now the Li family is in a hurry to send it up, and he feels that he has taken advantage of it, is there anything better in the world than this?

What was essentially a mutual need now became a one-sided request, which could not be exchanged for more chips.

"Don't worry, Daddy is just pretending, don't be scared by him." Li Chengzhi is the best brother-in-law, all kinds of news seem to be leaking, and his mouth is not strict at all.

"Don't look at me like that, the second sister asked me to say it, as for the second sister, you know." Li Chengzhi shrank his head, remembering the strength of Li Ruzhi pinching his shoulder, and didn't tell his future brother-in-law the information he should know, the end may not be too subtle, he hasn't been beaten for a long time, but the experience of being taught a lesson in his childhood is still vivid.

It looks like an enemy army, but it's actually a friendly army.

"Got it, I'm going in." Seeing the screen in front of the lobby, Zhuang Xun and Li Chengzhi opened a distance.

Maintaining the walking demeanor taught by Siqin Mi, with a gentle and confident smile, it is not the first time to take the test, it has been several times, and it seems that you can get used to it.

As soon as he entered the lobby, everyone's eyes gathered on him, several old people of different ages, but all over sixty years old, and Li Pingyuan, who had met him.

Zhuang Xun didn't know that the Li Pingyuan he saw last time was pretended by Ge Tan, and for Li Pingyuan, he saw Zhuang Xun for the first time.

"The posture of the dragon and the phoenix." Li Pingyuan originally thought that the immortals were saying it with partiality, but when he actually saw it, he found that this sentence was really too appropriate.

The appearance is not the posture of a middle-aged person, but the demeanor is excellent, a yellow dragon python robe, is the characteristic of Yu Guo, wearing it on Zhuang Xun has the prestige of governing the ruler of one side, whether it is a smile or a posture, it is natural, and it feels that the other party has a demeanor.

Compared with Li Chengzhi on the side, he is like a child, but he can obviously feel that Li Chengzhi is standing with him, Li Chengzhi is a guard, he is the principal, it should not be said that he has an excellent temperament, or Li Chengzhi has no temperament.

"In Xia Zhuang Xun, I have seen all the elders." Zhuang Xun bowed his hand, fell and was generous, his movements were natural, and there was no stage fright.

After all, I know that there are people who support me to eat this kind of scene, and I have experienced the kind of lonely battle at the Wanshou banquet, so there is naturally nothing to be nervous about this kind of small scene, not to mention that Li Chengzhi also reassured himself.

"Good demeanor, good demeanor, Yu Shi is worthy of being a talented person who can enter Mrs. Jiang's account, how many people can become a country with such a demeanor?" The group of old people was led by an old man in his seventies and eighties, holding a snake crutch, and his spirit was still strong in his old age.

"The old clan is always praised, and the inquiry is not deserved." Zhuang Xun really can't stand this kind of praise, obviously he looks mediocre, and receiving this kind of praise is embarrassing in his eyes.

"Bear it, uncle he doesn't praise people much, you can get his praise, you are really outstanding." Li Pingyuan also had to admit that Zhuang Xun's image was good and made people feel comfortable.

It's not the kind of immortal who comes out of the dust, it's the kind of person who can see his cultivation from his demeanor and actions, and feel the image of a noble son with personal bearing.

"General Li has a good reputation." Zhuang inquired and handed it over.

"Sit down, Yushi is a guest from afar." The old man beckoned Zhuang Xun to sit down, and the meaning of care was much better than that of Li Pingyuan, who didn't speak after explaining.

The popular thing in the Li family is kneeling, or kneeling is popular in the whole country, and Zhuang Xun also sat on the side of the lobby according to the invitation of the old man.

With his hands hanging in front of his legs, his eyes are level with the front, no longer focusing on the eyes of others, and he seems to be calm.

Zhuang Xun, who was exposed by Li Chengzhi, was at ease, after all, the other party cared so much because of the need for interests, and he didn't need to show gratitude.

And his composure once again raised everyone's evaluation of him, several clan elders collided with each other's eyes, and satisfaction passed on to each other, although the world's official system is already a six-part system, the social customs are closer to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there is an evaluation of people's demeanor, and this is especially true of the country that is good at empty talk.

After all, mediocre talents can't hold Jiannan, and they don't need to continue to pay attention, although Zhuang Xun doesn't show the eloquence of the ruler now, but his demeanor has already won the eyes of everyone.

"The imperial history is not far away, from the country of Yu to Cheng, and the mission given by King Yu has been completed, which is really young and promising." The words of the old man who praise him are not only polite, but also compliments.

Being able to do a good job of territorial issues at the diplomatic level, Zhuang Xun's ability has also been heard of by several clan elders, although they don't know that Zhuang Xun is endorsement.

"I can't talk about it, I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I am deeply ashamed to do private things by taking advantage of official business." Deeply ashamed is not ashamed, just polite words, he wants to lead the topic to the proposition.

"The matter of the royal history and Ru Xi's girl has been boiling in the Yu country, since His Majesty King Yu asked the imperial history to become a country, it is not the intention of letting the imperial history come to the Li Mansion to solve this problem." The old man said with a smile and took Zhuang Xun's words.

"It's also my emperor's pity." Zhuang Xun is very grateful to the old emperor, so send money, send people, send official positions, send land and send holidays, if this kind of boss is not necessary, he really doesn't want to rebel against him, if he doesn't have the emperor's vein, he will definitely be a big loyal minister, but there is no if.

The curse of the emperor's vein lingers above his head, within ten years, which year, it is completely unpredictable, only by desperately climbing up, and then he can be qualified to live, whether it is him or Si Qinmi, he does not dare to bet that the enemy can let him go after he surrenders.

"It seems that the two Majesties have the intention of fulfilling the imperial history and Xiao Ruji." The old man saw that Li Pingyuan was speechless and continued.

"Yes, especially His Majesty King Cheng, he even gave the land of the four counties as a dowry, which shows the excellence of Uncle Li's exploits." Zhuang Xun complimented Li Pingyuan, who had a calm face.

Of course, I didn't receive a response from my old father.

"These four counties, what is the imperial history going to do? Will it also be handed over to Mrs. Jiang? The old man asked casually, but his actual eyes were staring at Zhuang Xun.

Originally, they were not in a hurry, after all, they heard that Zhuang Xun did not have a family, and his wife Wei Lanzhi did not have a family, Zhuang Xun married Li Ruxi as his wife, and the Li family was Zhuang Xun's wife, and Zhuang Xun had no foundation to rely on.

For Li Ru's family, the glory and wealth of Chengguo is enough, but for the entire Li family, Chengguo has reached the limit and needs more living space, Zhuang Xun is an excellent investment, originally Li Pingyuan married a daughter as a flat wife, they all watched farces and jokes, but as soon as they received Li Shaoyun's letter, letting Li Ruxi marry Zhuang Xun as a flat wife is indeed a matter that is beneficial to the entire Li family.

I don't want to be so humble, the stability and face of the big family must be there, but when Zhuang Xun purchased the dowry yesterday, Mrs. Jiang was also buying special purchases, buying craftsmen as a family unit, and mobilizing grain and grass to Jiannan Road.

Needless to say, this news can be understood, the relationship between Zhuang Xun and Mrs. Jiang was originally ambiguous, and now Mrs. Jiang is transferring materials to Jiannan Province, obviously reaching some agreement with Zhuang Xun.

If the Li family is still holding a posture, Zhuang Xun's official position is all thrown off Mrs. Jiang, completely bound to Mrs. Jiang, and rejects others, then the Li family really has no place to cry.

That's why several clan elders can go to Li Pingyuan's house together today to put pressure on him, and they can't let him disagree.

After pulling for a long time, Mrs. Jiang took the lead and grabbed the important position, and the Li family could only eat some leftovers when they went in later.

"No, there are so many people, and some talents are still needed." Zhuang Xun once again had the joy of copying answers.

"Look at the ...... of the Li family"

"When did I marry my daughter to him, why did you discuss the dowry?" Li Pingyuan snorted coldly, if he didn't brush his sense of existence, it would really be the Li family's willingness to marry a daughter.
