The first thousand and fifty chapters
?_??*?r?5-??}??c??+u??_???}?/m?ox?]??!f?,z5??,I..." Wu Mingkong was panicked when he heard Prince Pingyang letting him go there. After all, Princess Pingyang had just learned about her and Li Jin, and she had to call her over, which made her not know what to do?
Li Xiu didn't expect that Princess Pingyang would see Wu Mingkong so soon. She was also a little worried at the moment, so she immediately spoke, "I'll go with you!"
"Master, the princess said she only saw Mrs. Wu!" However, as soon as Li Xiu said, the maid spoke again. It seemed that Princess Pingyang knew that Li Xiu and Wu Mingkong were together, so she specifically ordered the maid to bring only Wu Mingkong.
Li Xiu had no choice but to look at Wu Mingkong helplessly, and then encouraged her, "Go, your master's wife must pass that level anyway. When you see your master's wife, you are a little sweeter when you see your master's wife. Also, don't be smart enough to guess your master's wife's thoughts."
"Oh!" Wu Mingkong was still a little panicked when he heard Li Xiu's words, but he finally nodded, and then followed the maid and left. At this time, Li Xiu had no intention of going to the financial management supervisor again, so he simply stayed at home and waited.
However, what Li Xiu did not expect was that after Princess Pingyang called Wu Mingkong away, he did not let anyone go for a whole morning. As time went by, he couldn't help but worry more. What if two women couldn't reach a fight? Of course, with Princess Pingyang's force, the ten Wu Mingkongs combined together would not be enough for her to beat her. However, Wu Mingkong was a scheming woman. If she embarked on the road of blackening from now on, wouldn't her family be disturbed by her?
Just as Li Xiu was thinking wildly, he finally saw Wu Mingkong walking out of Princess Pingyang's yard. Li Xiu noticed that she was neatly dressed, had no scars on her face, and did not look like she was beaten, so she finally felt relieved.
Li Xiu immediately stepped forward, but before he could speak, he found that Wu Mingkong had tears on his face, which made him feel sank in his heart and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, has your master's wife scolded you?"
Wu Mingkong shook his head and didn't speak at this time, but tears flowed even harder, which made Li Xiu even more anxious. He immediately asked again: "What the hell is wrong? What did your master's wife tell you?"
"Master's wife...Master's wife didn't scold me, nor did she say anything about me, but just taught me how to practice calligraphy and Nu Hong." Wu Mingkong said while crying.
"Uh? That's all?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Wu Mingkong's answer, and then said incrediblely.
"Yes." Wu Mingkong nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Then...why are you crying?" Li Xiu also felt amused and crying at this time. Since Princess Pingyang didn't say anything, Wu Mingkong didn't need to cry so much, right?
"Sir, you don't understand. Although my master's wife didn't say anything, I felt a different feeling when I was with her today, just like... Just like when my mother taught me to read and write when I was a child, I couldn't explain this feeling clearly. In short, I felt very moved." Wu Mingkong cried while talking, and at the end he even started to cry. I don't know if it was happy or moved?
"This..." Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this. He believed that Wu Mingkong's feeling would be wrong. In other words, after Princess Pingyang called her, she just taught her to practice calligraphy, and it was like teaching her daughter, or her daughter-in-law. This made Wu Mingkong, who had not enjoyed this kind of care for a long time, burst into tears.
"Then do she treat you as her daughter-in-law or her daughter?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask again. Princess Pingyang was more intimate with Wu Mingkong today, but there were two completely different possibilities. The first possibility was that she agreed to Wu Mingkong and Li Jin and treated her as her daughter-in-law, and the second option was that she treated her as her daughter-in-law. Since she was a daughter, she naturally could not marry Li Jin.
"That... when I left, Master's wife... Master's wife asked me to make a summer clothes for Li Jin." Wu Mingkong whispered with a face like Chaoxia. At this time, his voice was almost inaudible.
Li Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this and shouted: "So, does Xiuning agree to your affairs?"
There was no place to sell ready-made clothes during the Tang Dynasty. In other words, almost all the clothes worn by men were made by women in the family. Generally, when they were not married, men's clothes were made by their own mothers. If they were married, they would definitely be made by their wife. This is also the reason why everyone in ancient times had to practice the girl's red. Now, Princess Pingyang asked Wu Mingkong to make clothes for Li Jin, and the meaning of it was self-evident.
Wu Mingkong lowered his head shyly at this time, but soon started to shed tears again. She didn't know why she cried so hard, maybe because she had fulfilled her wish, or because she had been recognized by Princess Pingyang. Anyway, it felt very complicated, and only she could understand the taste.
Li Xiu immediately asked Wu Mingkong to go back to rest, and then stepped into Princess Pingyang's room. As a result, she was still practicing calligraphy very leisurely at this time, which made Li Xiu laugh and said, "I thought my wife would have to wait a few days before she could make a decision, but I didn't expect you to agree in one night."
"One night is enough, and I have thought it through. With Jin'er's temper, if he really finds a wife who is not his favor, he may not regard the other party as his wife after marriage. Then the two of them are quarreling and not living a life, and they will also harm other people's daughter for nothing, so it would be better to fulfill his wishes." Princess Pingyang looked up and smiled. After making the decision, she felt very relaxed, which shows that her decision should not be wrong.
"Haha~, I have the same idea. Mingkong is not an ordinary woman. If she is in charge of Jin'er, we will feel more at ease." Li Xiu laughed immediately, and at the same time felt that a big rock in his heart finally fell to the ground.
As the family matters came to an end, Li Xiu gave up half of his thoughts. It was almost noon, so Li Xiu simply took a day off and stayed at home to spend time with his family. Anyway, there was nothing big happening recently. The only thing he was worried about was the academy's need to print books. However, he had already ordered this matter, and the printing house also started to type.
A few days later, Li Jin went home again and learned that Princess Pingyang had agreed to the matter between him and Wu Mingkong, so she was so happy that she almost made somersault. Princess Pingyang had already begun to prepare for the engagement. However, because Li Xiu had lied to Li Shimin before, Wu Mingkong and Li Jin's engagement was not suitable for a big fuss. Finally, after discussing with Yang, she decided that the two families would just come forward and then get engaged.
However, Princess Pingyang prepared for Li Jin's engagement, but Yi Niang found Li Xiu and complained: "Husband, Jin'er is more than one year younger than Ping'anlang, and is about to get engaged now, but our Ping'anlang has not found a suitable woman yet. Are you not in a hurry?"
"It's useless to be anxious. This kind of thing depends on fate. Jin'er and Mingkong grew up together since childhood, and it's natural to get engaged." Li Xiu smiled bitterly when he heard this. He set the rule of "no legitimate illegitimate" for his family, so he treated his sons equally and never favored anyone. It's just that Ping Anlang is quiet, so he is not as conspicuous as Li Jin who likes to make trouble.
"That's not OK. Jin'er, the younger brother, is engaged, and Ping Anlang must hurry up. In the past few days, I will find a few suitable women for him and let him go on a blind date no matter what!" Yi Niang also said viciously at this time. The engagement between Li Jin and Mingkong did stimulate her, so even if she forced Ping Anlang to go on a blind date.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. Maybe Ping Anlang has no idea about this at all. If you force him too hard, it may affect his studies." Li Xiu persuaded him again at this time. Yi Niang was also obeying the wind and rain, and she was especially strong and refused to admit defeat. In addition, Jin'er and Ping Anlang are about the same age, so she didn't want her son to fall behind in the marriage.
"Why didn't it? Heianro is fifteen next year, and it's already the year of hair removal. If he leaves it in someone else's house, he will definitely be married. And..." When Yi Niang said this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to speak, "And I think Heianro and Lizhi are getting too close, I'm really worried..."
"What are you worried about? Lizhi is a princess and has a good personality. Are you still afraid that you are not worthy of Peace Lang?" Li Xiu couldn't help but interrupt the nanny.
"I'm not saying that beauty is not good, but you should know more about the beautiful husband than anyone else. If she is not sick, I will definitely rush to ask her to be our daughter-in-law, but she cannot have children. Do you want our son to marry an infertile wife? Do you still want a grandson when you say it?" At the end of the story, the tone of Yi Niang became very firm. The reason why she was so anxious to let Heianlang go on a blind date was not without considerations in this regard.
"Li Qi's body is not very good, but after years of conditioning, it is not absolutely incapable of having children. It's just that you will take great risks. Don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will be reported that Li Qi's body will get married?" Li Xiu said seriously when he heard this.
"I know, when we are talking about our son, why did you touch Lizhi?" Yi Niang immediately said to Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu very helpless. It was obviously the first Lizhi mentioned by Yi Niang, but why did it blame herself in the end? Does anyone say that it is difficult for the honest officials to make up for their family affairs?
Although Niang Yi was anxious to go on a blind date for Ping'anlang, this kind of thing was not settled in a day or two, so she could only slowly find a suitable woman. Li Xiu also began to turn her attention to the academy, because as time went by, Xiao Yu had almost prepared and was ready to announce it at any time, which would definitely cause a huge impact on the Nanshan Academy of the aristocratic family.
