Chapter 11: Entering the Tang Gate (3)
Li Jiaojiao said loudly: "Zhu Wen is eyeing the Jin Kingdom, and he wants to slaughter the general, which is not good for himself, doesn't Li Keyong understand this?"
Li Siyuan hurriedly gestured with his hand: "Be quiet." This shows that he knows that the deadline is approaching, and he wants to pave the way for your third brother to succeed to the throne. We have to be very careful at the moment, if he catches some tricks, the consequences will be serious. ”
Li Jiaojiao nodded: "Well, I know." ”
Li Siyuan listened to whether there was any movement around him, and said in a low voice: "Don't go out and run around in the future." He's gone, right?"
Li Jiaojiao also whispered: "Let's go, go to Chang'an." ”
Li Siyuan: "That's also a dangerous move, when you go to Chang'an, you will inevitably be chased by Zhu Wen, and there are those people in the rivers and lakes who don't know the height of the sky." But the time has not yet come, and I can't accommodate him here. It's a pity!"
Li Jiaojiao said in an affirmative tone: "He will never be used by Zhu Wen, brother rest assured." ”
Li Siyuan nodded: "I also heard your thirteenth brother talk about his character, perseverance and kindness. I'm relieved of that. It's just a shame that it doesn't work for me. ”
Li Jiaojiao's eyes were full of tears: "Speaking of the thirteenth brother, I panicked in my heart. Can't you raise troops to save him?"
Li Siyuan put his index finger to his mouth and "shh The thirteenth brother is kind to you both, and he is also my good brother, and my brother also wants to save him. But now is not the time, you can only resign yourself to fate. ”
Li Jiaojiao said indignantly: "The bigger you officials, the more timid and afraid you are, and you don't even have any backbone." ”
Li Siyuan smiled bitterly: "That's another matter. Okay, let's not talk about that. ”
Li Jiaojiao: "I just want to wait for the limelight to pass and go to my brother Wen." ”
Li Siyuan glanced at her: "If he leaves, he may never return to Jinzhou, the world is so big, where do you go to find him." Forget about him. Today, your third brother Li Cunqiao asked someone to propose marriage, and I have promised him. ”
Li Jiaojiao jumped up: "I don't marry him, I only marry Brother Wen." ”
Li Siyuan took his sister's hand and asked her to sit down. "You listen to my brother slowly. Li Cunmiao will soon take over the affairs of the Jin Kingdom. He is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, destroying the Khitan in the north and entering the Central Plains in the south, and the Jin State can only look at him. He is a corporal, not as violent and ferocious as the King of Jin, and it is the best choice for a woman to marry him. Besides, you and he grew up together, and they won't have a relationship. He's always treated you very well. ”
Li Jiaojiao pouted: "I am already a member of the Chen family, even if Li Cunqiao becomes the emperor, I will not marry him." ”
Li Siyuan exclaimed: "What, you are already a member of the Chen family? What do you mean......" He didn't want to ask.
Li Jiaojiao raised her head. "Yes, I'm already one of his people. Even if I never see him again in this life, I will defend him. ”
Li Siyuan let out a "hh "Jiaojiao, you're too willful. It's not that my brother doesn't love you, and he intends to break you up with Xingwen. You know that the situation we are in right now is not up to you and me. You think, at this time, if you refuse Li Cunmiao's proposal, and the King of Jin will pursue it, not only you, but our whole family will have to pay the price. Mother alone pulled us to adulthood, don't you want her to spend her old age in peace?"
Li Jiaojiao cried and didn't say anything.
Li Siyuan continued: "The matter has come to this point, it is only advisable to hurry. If there is such a coincidence, you can't get married with your belly. If you really think about Chen Xingwen, you can also hide Li Cunqiao and keep a little blood for the Chen family. Although he went to Chang'an to go to Shuzhong, he was extremely dangerous along the way, if I didn't curse him, it was difficult to say whether he could save his life on the way. ”
Li Jiaojiao cried even more sadly.
Li Siyuan: "What my brother said is a foolproof strategy, think about it." ”
Sima Junjie poured the last drop of wine from the pot into the cup, drank it all, and then shouted, "Steward Jin, bring another pot of wine." ”
Steward Jin came to the table: "Young master, you hurt yourself by drinking." You've drunk two pots. If you drink it again, you'll get drunk. ”
Sima Junjie leaned weakly back in his chair. "It's good to be drunk, but it's uncomfortable to be drunk. ”
Steward Kim snatched the cup from his hand. "I know things aren't going well for you, but you can find a way to do it. ”
Sima Junjie squinted at him: "What else can be done? Why didn't you let me know her earlier?"
Steward Jin asked, "Which young master is going to marry Miss Tang?"
Sima Junjie waved his hand: "I don't know, I just know that I want to come from Jinzhong." ”
Steward Jin said while thinking: "The only people who can be worthy of Miss Tang are princes and nobles, rich businessmen and giants." Who can there be in Jinju? The young master's family is in charge of the Tang family, how can anyone else compete with you? I heard that the Tang family's steward Tang Lao Er said: If you want to marry his sister, you must be equal to his family. Do you think that Jinzhou, how many rich people can there be? If it is a high-ranking official, he will not dare to come to Chang'an at this time. If you think about it again, there is still a chance. ”
Sima Junjie staggered to his feet. "You haven't seen her infatuation, how can I have a chance?"
Steward Jin thought for a while: "I don't want to come again to save the beauty of heroes." This time it will be more dangerous, so that she owes you a favor and repays your kindness. also let her know that your first-class martial arts are not under her Tang Sect. ”
Sima Junjie sat down again: "But I think this is despicable." If I let her know, my Sima family's face will be lost. ”
Steward Jin looked confident: "Young master, rest assured." Last time, she didn't see any clues. It's up to me to arrange it. Just treat it as if it's real. This girl, my young master can't feel at ease, I'll find someone to treat her tomorrow!"
Sima Junjie hurriedly said: "You must not hurt her." Even if she doesn't marry me, you can't hurt her. She is my holy daughter. ”
Steward Jin laughed and said, "Then you have to protect her tomorrow." Otherwise, something would have happened to her. ”
Sima Junjie fell to the table and muttered, "Go protect her, protect her." ”
Tang Susu hadn't slept yet, holding a blowpipe in her hand, recalling the first time she met Chen Xingwen. Xiaoqing walked into the house from outside the door, and she didn't notice until she was beside her.
Xiaoqing: "Miss, it's time to sleep." ”
Tang Susu woke up: "I'm so sleepy, I can't sleep." Chat with me. ”
Xiaoqing sat beside her: "Miss is thinking about Chen Gongzi again, right? Maybe he'll be there tomorrow. Don't think about it so much. ”
Tang Susu put down the blowpipe: "Okay, I don't miss him anymore." Xiaoqing, you are eighteen this year, do you want to find a Lang Jun?"
Xiaoqing said shyly: "I don't want to look for it, I want to serve the young lady for the rest of my life." ”
Tang Susu: "Even if you follow me for the rest of your life, you have to start a family." What do you think of that Sima Gongzi?"
Xiaoqing: "Sima Gongzi has a crush on you, how can he take a fancy to me." ”
Tang Susu: "Xiaoqing, from tomorrow onwards, you won't be a maid." Our two sisters are commensurate, and you are also the eldest lady of the Tang family. ”
Xiaoqing hurriedly shook her head: "Xiaoqing doesn't dare to have this idea, it's my blessing to be able to serve Miss." There are noble and low people, how dare I call the young lady sisters? ”
Tang Susu took Xiaoqing's hand, and the two were next to each other. "Your ancestors have been doing things for the Tang family for several generations, and they have contributed a lot. If it weren't for your father's stubbornness, we would have been called sisters a long time ago. ”
