Chapter 1044 The Great Principle
"Father, you are back. Mingkong and I have been waiting for a long time!" Li Jin immediately smiled and greeted him, but when he was talking, he was still holding Mingkong's little hand. It seemed that after knowing that Li Xiu agreed to his marriage with Mingkong, the boy became more courageous.
"Be careful, aren't you afraid of letting your mother know?" Li Xiu saw his son's intimate appearance and Wu Mingkong, and he couldn't help but glar at him and reminded him, after all, the people in the mansion are too quarrels, and maybe someone says a few more words will reach Princess Pingyang's ears. If Princess Pingyang's disgust arouses Princess Pingyang's resentment, it will probably be difficult to deal with.
"It's okay, the servants at home are very eyebrow-like, and no one dares to talk nonsense in front of their mother." Li Jin said indifferently, but Wu Mingkong was a little embarrassed and wanted to break free from Li Jin's hand, but Li Jin grabbed it very tightly. She tried for a few times but couldn't get rid of it.
Seeing his son's indifferent appearance, Li Xiu was also helpless. This kid has been lacking in patience since he was a child. I guess if Mingkong hadn't stopped him, he might have run to Princess Pingyang to confess today, so he might have been eager to let Princess Pingyang know about him and Wu Mingkong earlier.
"Get on the bus, let's find a place to discuss it!" Li Xiu ordered immediately. Since Li Jin has returned, he also needs to know his son's attitude towards this matter. However, judging from the current situation, Li Jin is obviously anxious to compete with Wu Mingkong, so this matter must be as soon as possible, so that Princess Pingyang would not know in advance, and they would be too passive by then.
Li Jin and Wu Mingkong also got on Li Xiu's carriage at the moment, but they didn't go far, but came to the next to the Huangqu. Then the three of them got off the carriage and asked the guards to stay away from their entourage. Then Li Xiu said, "Jin'er, Mingkong should have told you, I want to know what your attitude is now?"
"Father, do you need to say what my attitude is?" Li Jin said indifferently at this time, and from getting on the bus to getting off, he kept holding Wu Mingkong's little hands tightly. As a result, Wu Mingkong was so embarrassed that he couldn't raise his head.
"Don't give me a smile. This is a lifelong event that concerns you, so I want to listen to you tell me!" Li Xiu said with a stern face at this time. As Li Jin grew older, this kid's personality became stronger and stronger. Sometimes even Li Xiu, a father, could not do anything to him. Fortunately, there is Princess Pingyang, who has always been respectful and afraid of his mother. Of course, this is mainly because Princess Pingyang has been strict with him since childhood, which makes Li Jin punished him if he is not careful.
Seeing Li Xiu so serious, Li Jin finally restrained himself a little. He thought about it seriously and then said, "I know what you are worried about, Father. Mingkong and I are indeed a little younger, and it is a bit early to talk about marriage..."
Hearing Li Jin's words, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but look up at Li Jin suddenly, his little face was full of worry, but Li Jin turned his head and smiled at her, and then continued, "But Mingkong and I grew up together, we can be called childhood sweethearts. We are young, and I have no doubts. Moreover, I am not interested in other girls. Only Mingkong can be my wife in this life, so I hope my father can fulfill it!"
When Wu Mingkong heard what Li Jin was saying behind him, his little face showed a sweet and shy expression again, but soon she thought that Li Xiu was still here, and she was so embarrassed that she hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li Jin again.
Li Xiu found that his son was indeed better than his girls when it comes to picking up girls. At least he was not as brave and eloquent as he was at his age. But that was fine, at least he already understood his attitude now.
"Okay, I understand both your attitudes and Mingkong, but I still want to formally remind you that if you get engaged, there is no possibility of remorse in the future, especially Mingkong, you must think clearly!" Li Xiu said seriously again at this time.
Compared with later generations, marriage is more binding in this era, and after getting engaged, it is almost impossible to regret it. Especially for a woman, getting engaged is actually equivalent to having married. No matter what the reason for regretting the marriage, it will ruin the woman's reputation. It will be too difficult to get married in the future.
"I will never regret it if I make a decision!" Wu Mingkong said almost without hesitation. She originally thought that there was almost no possibility between her and Li Jin, but she did not expect that she would get the support of Li Xiu, so this made her cherish this opportunity very much and never thought of regretting it.
"I won't regret it either!" Li Jin said immediately, and the little face was gone without the hippie smile he had just now. Instead, he changed into a serious expression, as if he really wanted to take on the responsibility a man should have.
Seeing the two of them firmly, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile. Although he envied young people like Li Jin, young people also had some shortcomings, such as being too simple to consider the problem, especially in terms of feelings, they sometimes seem too naive.
"I am very pleased that you can say something you don't regret, but as a person who has experienced it, I have a few advices I don't want to listen to. But I remind you in advance that this is not a good thing, and it will even make you feel unpleasant." Li Xiu looked at the surface of the Huangqu River slowly flowing in front of him, and then spoke again.
"If it's not good, forget it, you should keep it yourself, father!" Li Jin said almost without hesitation. He knew his father too much, and there must be a lot of big principles to be said at this time. He doesn't like these boring things.
"No, I want to listen, sir, please speak!" However, Wu Mingkong disagrees with Li Jin at this time and said with a very firm expression.
"Haha, you need to listen to one, and the other don't listen. This makes me very embarrassed. Why don't you agree with it first!" Li Xiu smiled calmly at this time, and then walked forward a few steps. The river water of the Huangqu was still as clear as before. Occasionally, you can see fish pecking on the water surface, but he hasn't had time to come here for a long time to fish.
"Mingkong, don't you really want to listen to your father's big reason?" Li Jin asked Wu Mingkong in a low voice at this time, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Mr. Experience is not comparable to you and me. What he said must be a talk of his own years of experience. It will always be some benefits when we listen to it." Wu Mingkong said again with great determination. She liked to hear Li Xiu talk about some life insights, which can sometimes inspire her.
Seeing Wu Mingkong want to hear it, Li Jin stopped insisting, so he had to nod and said, "Okay, since you like it, let's listen!"
Li Jin and the other two agreed. Li Xiu turned around with a smile, then looked at them and said, "Look, you are not engaged yet, and there was a disagreement just now..."
"Father, this is a disagreement?" Before Li Xiu finished speaking, Li Jin asked back with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course, for the same thing, your opinions are different, this is a difference!" Li Xiu also glared at this time. He was a little angry at Li Jin's interruption several times. It seemed that this kid had not restrained his temperament after going to the military academy.
Seeing that his father was a little angry, Li Jin immediately did not dare to speak again. Li Xiu paused and said, "When two people get along, whether they are husband and wife or friends, sometimes there will be some differences. Jin'er also performed well because he chose to make concessions, so that the differences between you two will disappear. However, the differences between you just now were the smallest. If you really become husband and wife in the future, there will probably be more differences. At that time, you must also know how to give in and be tolerant, so that you can reach the end!"
"I understand what sir means. It is normal for couples to have differences. The key is how to deal with differences. Concession and tolerance are the solutions to this problem." Wu Mingkong was very smart and concluded thoughtfully at this time.
"No, father, aren't the relationship between you and your mother pretty good? Why have you never seen any disagreements or even quarrels?" Li Jin asked in confusion at this time. He had never seen his parents quarrel over something since he was a child, which was not in line with what Li Xiu said just now.
"Who said there is no difference between us?" Li Xiu said to Li Jin with a blank look. He didn't like to bring the topic to him, but since Li Jin asked, it was difficult for him to avoid it.
"Has there been too many differences between the sir and the master's wife?" Wu Mingkong couldn't help but ask with a very interested expression when he heard this, his big eyes also flashed with gossip.
"How can there be no differences between husband and wife? Xiuning and I are no exception. For example, we had a lot of differences in how to educate Jin'er and you children, and even had a few words. However, I knew how to talk openly with Xiuning and the others, and then with moderate concessions, so we did not blush even though we were thinking for a moment before speaking.
Although love in fairy tales is beautiful, it is not reality after all. Couples are inevitably inseparable from friction in life, so he is no exception. Although the marriage in his previous life failed, he worked hard to manage his marriage in this life. In addition, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang, Yuechan also understood himself, so there was no problem between them.
Li Xiu originally wanted to use his own example to make Li Jin and Wu Mingkong understand how to get along with each other, but obviously the two children were more interested in what happened between him and his wife. Then he kept asking about the details of his disagreement with Princess Pingyang and others, but in the end the conversation was completely deviated.
In the end, Li Xiu was also very helpless. It seemed that it was too early to tell them about this. For them, the most important thing now is how to tell Princess Pingyang about Li Jin and Wu Mingkong.
