Chapter 197 Chasing the North (forty-six)

A family dinner is underway in Li Yuan's mansion.

The so-called family banquet, Li Yuan and his first wife Dou are just sitting opposite each other during the meal.

The Dou family's father was Dou Yi, the Dingwu Duke of the Sui Dynasty. The Dou family was also the highest clan in the Sui Dynasty after the Eighth Pillar Kingdom. The Dou family was even the niece of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, and his bloodline was of great value, worthy of the Li family in Longxi.

When Dou was young, his hair was as long as his waist, his luster was as bright as a mirror, and his beauty was passed down to various aristocratic families. This niece was loved by Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou and was raised in the palace. When she got married, Li Yuan was no less than that of the princess of the Yuwen family.

Even though she gave birth to children for Li Yuan, she was still charming and noble. She sat on a family banquet with Li Yuan, and her actions were still gentle and gentle. Li Yuan and her husband had decades of deep feelings and love. The Dou family's children were also trusted and heavily used by Li Yuan, and some people married Li Yuan's daughter. The strength of the Dou family had long been integrated, becoming Li Yuan's greatest confidence and capital.

During the family banquet, Li Yuan and Dou always talked about gossip. Today, Li Yuan was like a dull man, just kept drinking, while drinking while looking at Dou.

After repeated recurring, Dou finally laughed, as if he was the coquettish look of marrying Li Yuan: "Look at your beard, you are all gray, why are you doing like a child like this? You can say whatever you want. You can say it in front of you. What decisions do you have, husband? I have never made a comment. In the future, the name of the harem's interference in politics will not be above me!"

Li Yuan's old face turned red, he put down his Jiujue and waved his hand.

It turned out that the dozen maids who served on the side of the two men and did not make any sound like clay sculptures, immediately bowed and left, leaving only the couple sitting opposite each other.

Li Yuan sighed, "You don't have a son, I'm worried that the incense of the Li family in Longxi will be cut off. It's not easy for my ancestors to build such a family. If you have a son, you have many troubles. I originally thought that Dalang was calm and the leader of the founding, and he could win the hearts of all the families. Erlang was brave and determined to practice martial arts. Whenever he had something to do, he would lead his troops to fight for the generals. Even if Silang grew up, he could also help Erlang's leader. At least I would have nothing to worry about... But Dalang has always been a generous person, so why did he dislike Erlang? This time, the king of Mayi reverently asked for help, and Dalang insisted on driving Erlang to Mayi County to take charge. That was a place where soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and I didn't know how to be a little brotherly and friendly!"

Dou listened quietly, and after Li Yuan finished complaining, he said softly: "Originally, I can't get into anything in this matter. But these sons all fell from my stomach, so I can only say a few words... Now it is the time of chaos in the world, and it is not the time when the master of the Conscientious ruler is in the country. Why doesn't your husband value Erlang?"

Li Yuan snorted and shook his head slowly: "I want to use Erlang more. Even if I don't have the heart of Prince Yi, what should everyone in the world think at this moment? Erlang is not able to form a good family... The Yang family's reputation is not far away, and both generations of father and son tried their best to suppress the noble family. As a result, the Sui Dynasty was so powerful that the two generations fell apart. Dalang was the only candidate who could survive the Li family! If Dalang could tolerate his brother, why would I be so worried?"

Dou nodded silently, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, showing the gentleness of the noble lady. After a while, he slowly said: "Erlang is brave and stubborn, and does not like to form a good family. He is a mother, so he naturally understands his son's character. When peace comes, Dalang naturally has no idea about Erlang, but now it is the time of chaos in the world. Dalang naturally thinks that his husband will value Erlang's strengths. When Erlang leads elite soldiers, he traverses the battlefield and drives his husband forward, how can Dalang not have any other thoughts at this time?"

Li Yuan listened silently and sighed.

Dou said softly: "For the Li family, it is important to consolidate Dalang's status at this time. You may have to feel wronged Erlang... But these are all my sons, husband, you must protect Erlang no matter what, anyway! A son is the prince, and he is glorious. A son is going to Mayi County, which is an unpredictable place, and guards the retreat for you for your husband. You should be fair as a father!"

Dou is also a daughter of a noble family. How could he not know that his husband had already made a conclusion and would drive Li Shimin to the rear of Mayi County. For the Li family, this seems to be the best choice. Although he is very filial to his elders, he is more steadfast and caring. He is more pleasing to his elders. He thinks that his second son is indeed wronged, and his flesh fell from his body. Dou couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li Yuan focused heavily: "How can you say this? Mrs. Li is not a hero in his life. At this point, it is just the situation. But your husband, my greatest ability is to protect the family well! As long as I am here, Erlang will naturally be rich and prosperous for life. Even in the future, I will make arrangements and always let their brothers get along for a lifetime!"

Dou looked up and looked at his husband.

Although he is fifty years old, he is still immense and kind and gentle in front of his children on weekdays. But as a person who has been in love for decades, Dou knew clearly that under the deep fear of the Yang family over the years, Li Yuan has withstood so many storms. When he occasionally shows his strength, all the heroes in the world are shocked! Otherwise, when the Sui Dynasty collapsed, how could Li Yuan win the hope of the world, attracting so many high-ranking families and talented people in the world to vote? Could it be that they were all obtained by holding children at home?

Thinking about the ups and downs that he had experienced with Li Yuan over the past few decades, Dou couldn't help but become a little confused and said softly: "I always believe in you, don't you know, husband?"

Under the candlelight, in front of Li Yuan, his wife seemed to be in his youth.

Li Yuan slowly stood up and reached out, and Dou also stretched out his hand. The couple held their hands tightly together. For a moment, no one spoke, but just enjoyed this rare time when they were in harmony.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, as long as the members of the Li family work together, there will be no level that cannot be overcome.

Suddenly, Li Yuan sighed again.

Dou said angrily: "Why are you so happy?"

Li Yuan scratched his hair: "I was thinking about Xiao Shiqi, this girl, Guli. Dalang loves her so much, but she always felt that Dalang bullies Erlang and defends Erlang for everything. Now I asked Erlang to go to Mayi County, but I still don't know how Xiao Shiqi came to make trouble for me!"

Dou smiled slightly, thinking of Li Yan, even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were smooth: "This is the hero of our Li family! I used to think that Dalang is too weak, so I like a hero who can be a thousand horses and a horse. Erlang always likes to take her to hunt with her horse. How could she not like Erlang? Those who are incompetent cannot surrender to her. In the future, I don't know how much harm it should harm others. At that time, it will not be a headache for our Li family. I will endure it for a while!"
