When Li Longji came to Princess Taiping's Mansion, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was obviously abnormal.

There were three mothers and sons sitting in the middle hall. Princess Taiping’s face was a little gloomy. Even when she saw the King of Linzi step into the hall, she just nodded slightly and did not express herself more enthusiastically.

The two cousins ​​were respectful and stood up to greet their cousins. Xue Chongxun also asked Li Longji if he had dinner and whether he needed to cook it under the kitchen, but his expression and tone were a little unnatural.

As for his little cousin Xue Chongjian, he was much more enthusiastic. He quickly stepped in and grabbed Li Longji's wrist, and his eyes were full of begging.

Seeing the mother and son having a very different expression, Li Longji immediately realized that before he arrived, there seemed to be a dispute between the mother and son.

They are close relatives who often come and go. Although Li Longji felt a little embarrassed, since he had arrived, he no longer had politeness. So he nodded to Xue Chongxun and smiled and said, "The office work in the office was not released until the evening, and he was indeed empty, so he asked for a meal here."

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun hurriedly walked out, while Princess Taiping's gloomy face still improved a lot, her eyes fell on her son's back and felt a lot of dissatisfaction. After a while, she withdrew her gaze and turned to Li Longji and barely squeezed out a bit of joy. She said curiously: "What kind of drama is there in Guanglu Temple that makes people so busy that they are so busy that they are not in the time of catering?"

Hearing this question, Li Longji couldn't help but smile bitterly. In ordinary times, Guanglu Temple is indeed leisurely and no one will believe it if it is busy.

However, seeing the atmosphere in the mansion, he was not inconvenient to express his intentions first. He just smiled and said to himself: "A simple man like me, I have to work harder, and it is difficult for free."

While speaking, he sat in the seat of Princess Taiping, and handed Xue Chongjian an inquiring look. Xue Chongjian curled the corner of his mouth and pointed to the direction of his brother's departure. It was obvious that the dispute occurred between the two.

Because he didn't know the specific content of the dispute, Li Longji was not inconvenient to ask questions rashly, and just looked at Xue Chongjian and asked casually: "Have you ever been to the outside garden to watch the game recently? What are the exciting schedules and outstanding players on the court?"

"I do nothing all day long. I don't care about serious careers, and I'm only fascinated by those boring fun!"

Originally, when Xue Chongjian asked casually, before she could answer, Princess Taiping snorted coldly and vented her anger on the young boy. She pointed at Xue Chongjian and snorted coldly: "I'm not allowed to go anywhere recently, I just work hard at home. If I can't pass the Zhaowenguan exam this summer, I'll see if I won't burn your harnesses!"

"It must be certain!"

Xue Chongjian was opened by Chen Zi'ang, a direct scholar in Zhaowenguan, at the beginning of the year, and was too lazy to go to study elsewhere. He has been playing games in the market in recent months. He doesn't have a high sense of existence in this family, and his mother rarely cares about it during the ordinary season, but because his brother annoyed his mother today, he was unlucky.

Hearing his mother's scolding, he didn't dare to refute, but just nodded repeatedly and looked at his cousin with complaints. You are asking for something to do if you have nothing to say, but you insist on finding someone who can take advantage of the problem?

Seeing this, Li Longji felt even more embarrassed. After laughing dryly, he stood up and said, "I'm here, right? Look, today is not a good time to meet guests."

"Don't do your business."

Princess Taiping's face was slightly restrained after hearing this, glaring at the young boy fiercely before sighing: "What I hate is the same thing I have adopted, but my family has no appreciation, which makes people irritate! There are so many dignified scholars in the blood relatives, but what kind of excellent talent is not available to this. Sanlang, come and evaluate the truth. Is it because my tutor is poor, or is it difficult to eliminate the disadvantages of these things?"

"My aunt said this so much. Everything I saw and heard from the hall, my cousins ​​were polite and had never had any bad deeds to attract people to make fun of. What kind of gorgeous talent do I need to satisfy?"

After hearing this, Li Longji replied: "The characters in the world are always different from the best and the worst, but there are better among the best. There are still people above and there are still people, and the elders will inevitably have higher expectations for young people. But it is really hard for us to achieve the best now. As long as we do not degenerate ourselves and compare the benefits from each part by inch, we can always be considerable."

This book is also thorough and does not lose its sense of comfort, but unexpectedly it hits Princess Taiping's anger.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun walked into the hall again, and Princess Taiping suddenly waved her hand and slapped the table, and said angrily: "Children are only aware of being ambitious. Even if they are not used for a moment, their parents will naturally not be disappointed. But if someone is willing to fall into depravity, how should they preach!"

This anger was naturally directed at Xue Chongxun. When he heard his mother's anger, Xue Chongxun lowered his head and said helplessly: "What is my mother's words? I dare not forcefully appeal. But now my son is no longer a man. Although it is not a great choice, there are also wives and children in the court that need to be supported. They always need to have some measure of their own judgment and decisions about people and things. I don't think that if something happens to the state, it is willing to fall into depravity. The world is the king's land. When it is in the court, it serves the king and makes plans. When it is outside, it is taught by the herdsmen. They have their own division of labor and creation of deeds. But if they can be worthy of their kindness, they will always be ashamed to establish the world."

Li Longji finally understood this and looked at Xue Chongxun with a little surprise: "My cousin wants to go to other states?"

Xue Chongxun nodded: "The day before yesterday, I must be appointed as the governor of Yizhou. After entering the province to receive the notice, I will set off."

Hearing Xue Chongxun's answer, Li Longji was in a very complicated mood for a moment. He begged for the matter last year and had hoped to be appointed as an official position in another state, but was sent to the Xiansi Department of Honglu Temple. And the cousin in front of him quietly sought the official position of Linmin from Dazhou, Hebei.

The difference in this encounter really makes people feel secretly moved. Some people ask for it but cannot, and some people can find it everywhere. The difference between people is so big. And Xue Chongxun was able to receive such care, of course, because of his son-in-law of the clan family. As the husband of the eldest princess Li Youniang, as long as the official position in the court does not involve military and national plans, he will naturally ask for it.

Not to mention the envy and jealousy that suddenly arose in Li Longji's heart, Princess Taiping's face became even more angry after hearing what her son said: "You have an old mother in the church and a young son to ask for a feed. If you discuss such a big thing, you will make a decision privately. Do you have your own reasons? Then do you know where Yizhou is? Do you know how many official affairs in the people? The future of the Qinggui in the Chaozhou Dynasty cannot keep you, and you insist on seeking separation from the faraway state and the flesh. Isn't this misleading others and yourself?"

Speaking of this, Princess Taiping looked at Li Longji with an angry face and said, "How much debt do you owe to parents? Because he was too young to lose his father, I was afraid that others would be neglected and looked down upon. How many plans have I planned to do since I joined the world? I had planned with the queen before and asked him to go to Zhizhaowenguan to take care of King Yong nearby. In the future, the rank of the Spring Palace will naturally be able to serve the prince and bureaucrats. How many people in the world can envy such a prominent future? But he refused to cherish it. If it weren't for the system of the subordinates today, I wouldn't know that he would have asked to go out of state!"

After hearing this, Li Longji felt speechless and was even too lazy to speak up to comfort him. The mother and son were not quarreling, but clearly showing off nakedly in front of him. Whether it was an accident in the foreign state or a king of King Yong, it was a timely flow, including the opportunity he could not ask for, but the two mothers and sons were picky and even lost peace in the court.

"My mother is working hard to plan for me. How can I not feel the heavy kindness? But because of the deep kindness, I dare not continue to bear it shyly. There is no need to say more about the story. Now I am a master of the family. Can mother allow me to think about my own thinking about my family?"

When Xue Chongxun saw his mother's emotions burst out, he sighed and knelt deep on the ground: "So blood relatives can be established as a court and a noble person when he comes young. Such kindness is hard for the world to seek for a lifetime. I am ashamed of my virtue and talent, and I am ashamed of my face as I am ashamed of this. When I was young, I was ignorant and terrified. But as I got older, I realized the truth of the turmoil of the whole world.

The official position of the court is a general public servant of the country, not a random grant from private families. Although I envy people, I am not a virtue and talent. I am a six-foot husband who has to wander in the blood and grace of my life? I have enjoyed a lot of wealth and honor in the world, but I have never made any contribution. I can be rich and honored in this life, but how will my children and grandchildren be independent?"

"Ha, the blessing of the blood of the clan family has become an unbearable force when you come to you. Who can do without the involvement of blood in this life? You have such a life experience, and you are destined to be able to judge many people and things according to your emotions. I will not talk about the amount of talent you have, but just talking about the power you enjoy with the world and the world is a complete stupidity!"

Princess Taiping has her own opinions on human affairs, and she just sneered at her son's explanation: "Is it really because of your virtue and talent? As long as you are considerate and have a harmonious family affairs, you will not be considered a loss to be grateful. A good talent is a measure for those who are alienated outside the family to perform. Isn't it a waste of money to abandon your wife and children, and abandon the relationship between the sect?"

"My mother is stubborn, and I can't say it's understandable. In short, in my mother's eyes, my son is just not strong enough to be independent. I am not allowed to try to explore any of the difficulties I foresee. But this time, I was given a gift to the palace, and my virtues and qualifications were also praised by the ministers in the court. The wife of the household did not blame me for traveling from home. After entering the state, she would do her own things. After she could decide what she wanted, she would give her a helping hand. She would only increase her knowledge of the world."

Seeing that his mother just couldn't make sense, Xue Chongxun simply made his attitude and decided to go out of state, regardless of whether his mother was happy or not.

Princess Taiping became even more angry when she heard this, slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Get out of this door and get out of it! Since I am so determined, I will wait in the capital to see you and cry and beg for return."

The mother and son had a complete breakdown. Seeing that there would be no good result when they stayed, Xue Chongxun bowed to his angry mother in the hall and said goodbye, and then bent down and retreated.

Seeing this, Li Longji and Xue Chongjian hurriedly chased out, waiting for further persuasion, but Xue Chongxun just shook his head: "My mother has always regarded closeness to people as a chess piece in her hand, and does not allow people to have private plans. The barriers in this are no longer accumulating momentary and every matter. I am not lacking in obedient filial piety, but men must always maintain some self in their lives.

Loyalty and filial piety are not opposites, but are just inherent difficulties in human relationships. Instead of worrying about each other, it is better to say goodbye for a short time. After I leave home, Erlang, don’t play every day. My mother’s teachings are good intentions. If her own knowledge and experience are not enough to exceed this, she should be respectful and not indulge herself.”

"Brother, you are so brave. If I don't have the courage to talk to my mother like this. I don't have the blessing to have your brother-in-law with you. After you leave, I can only grit my teeth and suffer!"

Xue Chongjian was both envious and complaining to his brother, but just shook his head and sighed.

"Please comfort my mother on my behalf, today's noise makes you laugh."

Xue Chongxun was too lazy to take care of his brothers anymore, looked at Li Longji and sighed, then bowed and left his mother's mansion.

Li Longji had seen this mother-son quarrel, and was in a mixed mood. After returning to the hall, he wanted to say goodbye and leave. Today's atmosphere is really not suitable for talking about other things.

However, as the eldest son left, Princess Taiping still controlled her emotions and said tiredly: "Sanlang, don't be apart from the fight. I don't have to ask him to do anything. But it is inevitable that the future of a career that has been arranged with great effort is not cherished, and anger is always inevitable. I don't know how much verbal talk I have done to induce the queen to agree..."

After her complaints, Li Longji couldn't stand up and say goodbye directly, and could only smile and said, "People are used to enjoying it, and they always look at it as ordinary as I am. I don't know how envious I am of my parents for paving the way with such care. Even if it is a quarrel that is harmful to the harmony, I can only reminisce in my dreams."

After saying this, the atmosphere became sad again. Princess Taiping raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and then said, "You don't need to hurt yourself. You are not alone in this world. I will come to my house with your wife again the next day. I want to receive a solemn reception to apologize to you. You made a special trip to ask someone to sue, and there must be something to discuss. Now you might as well tell me, so that I can be distracted from being elsewhere and no longer indulge in the anger of being agitated by that bad guy."

Li Long basically didn't plan to say anything else, but when he heard his aunt ask, he thought about it and said, "There is indeed something that is my inner private plan, but he is difficult to decide. I want to ask my aunt whether to do it. Today, Tubo handed over a letter to the envoy and asked for a marriage. I think there are many sisters in my family who are in the same marriage year. Is there any connection there?"
