Chapter 1050 It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs
"Sir, I'm ......" Wu Mingkong heard that Duke Pingyang wanted to let him go over, and he was also panicked at the moment, after all, Princess Pingyang had just learned about her and Li Jin, and she had to call herself over, which made her not know what to do?
Li Xiu didn't expect Princess Pingyang to see Wu Mingkong so soon, and he was a little worried at the moment, so he immediately said, "I'll go with you!" ”
"Master, the princess said that she only saw the little lady Wu alone!" However, as soon as Li Xiu's words came out, the maid spoke again, and it seemed that Princess Pingyang also knew that Li Xiu and Wu Mingkong were together, so she specially ordered the maid to take only Wu Mingkong.
Li Xiu had no choice but to look at Wu Mingkong helplessly, and then encouraged her: "Go, anyway, your master will definitely pass that level, after seeing your master and mother, your mouth will be sweeter, and don't guess your master's thoughts smartly." ”
"Oh!" Wu Mingkong was still a little flustered when he heard Li Xiu's words, but finally nodded, and then followed the maid to turn around and leave, and at this time, Li Xiu didn't have the heart to go to the financial supervision again, so he simply stayed at home and waited.
However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that after Princess Pingyang called Wu Mingkong, she didn't release anyone for a whole morning, and as time went by, he couldn't help but become more worried, what if the two women couldn't talk and fight? Of course, with the force of Princess Pingyang, ten Wu Mingkong together is not enough for her to beat, but Wu Mingkong is a scheming woman, in case she embarks on the road of blackening from now on, won't her family be restless by her?
Just when Li Xiu's mind was full of wild thoughts, he finally saw Wu Mingkong walking out of Princess Pingyang's courtyard, Li Xiu noticed that she was neatly dressed, there were no scars on her face, and she didn't look like she had been beaten, so he finally put his mind at ease.
Li Xiu immediately stepped forward and didn't speak, but found that Wu Mingkong had tears on his face, which made his heart sink and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, did your master scold you?" ”
I saw that Wu Mingkong shook his head at this time and didn't speak, but the tears flowed even more, which made Li Xiu even more anxious, and asked again at the moment: "What's the matter, what did your master tell you?" ”
"Master...... Shiniang, she didn't scold me, nor did she say anything about me, but just taught me to practice calligraphy and female red. Wu Mingkong said while crying at this time.
"Huh? That's it? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Wu Mingkong's answer, and then said a little incredulously.
"Hmm." Wu Mingkong nodded with tears in his eyes.
"That'...... So what are you crying about? Li Xiu also had a feeling of crying and laughing 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 Shi Niang didn't say anything, but when I get along with her today, I have a different feeling, just like ...... Just like when my mother taught me to read and write when I was a child, I can't tell you how it felt, but I was very touched anyway. Wu Mingkong cried as he spoke, and in the end, he cried even more, and he didn't know whether he was happy or moved?
"This ......" Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, he believed that Wu Mingkong's feelings would not be wrong, in other words, after Princess Pingyang called her, she just taught her to practice calligraphy and female red, and it was like teaching her own daughter, or her own daughter-in-law, which made Wu Mingkong, who had not enjoyed this kind of care for a long time, cry directly excitedly.
"Then does she treat you as a daughter-in-law or a daughter?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask again at this time, Princess Pingyang is more intimate with Wu Mingkong today, but there are two completely different possibilities, the first is that she agreed to Wu Mingkong and Li Jin's affairs and regarded her as a daughter-in-law, and the second is to treat her as a daughter, since she is a daughter, naturally she can't marry Li Jin.
"That...... When I left, Shi Niang...... Shiniang, she asked me to make Li Jin a summer dress. Wu Mingkong said in a low voice at this time, and when he said the end, his voice was almost inaudible.
Li Xiu was also overjoyed when he heard this, and exclaimed, "So, Xiuning agreed to your business?" ”
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no place to sell ready-to-wear clothes, that is to say, almost all the clothes worn by men were from the hands of women in the family, generally when they did not marry a wife, men's clothes were made by their mothers, if they were married, then they must be made by their wives, which is also the reason why everyone in ancient times had to practice female red, and now Princess Pingyang asked Wu Mingkong to make clothes for Li Jin, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Wu Mingkong also lowered her head shyly at this time, but soon began to cry again, she didn't know why she was crying so much, maybe because her wish was fulfilled, maybe because she was recognized by Princess Pingyang, anyway, it feels very complicated, and I am afraid that only she can experience the taste.
Li Xiu immediately asked Wu Mingkong to go back to rest, and then strode into Princess Pingyang's room, only to see that she was still practicing calligraphy very leisurely at this time, which made Li Xiu laugh and said: "I thought that the lady would wait a few days to make a decision, but I didn't expect you to agree in just one night." ”
"One night is enough, and I have also thought clearly, with Jin'er's temper, if he really finds a wife who does not suit his heart, I am afraid that he will not treat the other party as his wife after marriage, and then the two of them will be noisy, and it will not be the way they live, and they will also harm other people's daughters in vain, so it is better to obey his wishes." Princess Pingyang raised her head and smiled at this time, after making a decision, she also felt very relaxed, which showed that her decision should not be wrong.
"Haha~, I also have the same idea, Mingkong is not an ordinary woman, with her in charge of Jin'er, we are more at ease." Li Xiu immediately laughed and laughed, and at the same time felt that a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Things at home have come to an end, Li Xiu also let go of half of his thoughts, seeing that it was about to be noon, Li Xiu simply took a day off and concentrated on accompanying his family at home, anyway, there is nothing important recently, the only thing that worries him is the fact that the academy is going to print books, but he has already ordered this matter to go down, and the printing office has also begun to typeset.
A few days later, Li Jin went home again and learned that Princess Pingyang had agreed to the matter between himself and Wu Mingkong, and the result was almost a flip with joy, and Princess Pingyang had also begun to prepare for the engagement, but because Li Xiu lied in front of Li Shimin before, Wu Mingkong and Li Jin's engagement should not be a big deal, and finally after discussing it with the Yang family, it was decided that it was just the two families who came forward, and then the engagement letter was done.
However, Princess Pingyang was preparing for Li Jin's engagement, but Yi Niang found Li Xiu and complained: "Husband, Jin'er is more than a year younger than Ping'anlang, and now she is going to get engaged, but our Ping'anlang hasn't found a suitable woman yet, aren't you in a hurry?" ”
"It's useless to be anxious, this kind of thing has to talk about fate, Jin'er and Mingkong have grown up together since they were children, and it is natural for them to get engaged." Li Xiu also smiled bitterly when he heard this, he set the rule of "no concubines" for his family at the beginning, so he also treated his sons equally, and he never favored anyone, but Ping An Lang was originally quiet, so he was usually not as conspicuous as Li Jin, who likes to make noise.
"That's not good, Jin'er, the younger brother is engaged, and Ping'an Lang must also hurry up, I will find him a few more suitable women in the next few days, and let him go on a blind date no matter what!" Yi Niang also said viciously at this time, Li Jin and Mingkong's engagement did stimulate her, so even if she forced Ping An Lang, she had to let him go on a blind date.
"Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe Ping An Lang doesn't have the mind to do this at all now, if you push him too hard, it may affect his studies." Li Xiu spoke again at this time to persuade her, Yi Niang also listens to the wind and rain, especially to be strong and not admit defeat, plus Jin'er and Ping'an Lang are about the same age, so she doesn't want her son to fall behind in marriage.
"Why not, next year Ping An Lang will be fifteen, and he has reached the year of binding his hair, if he is placed in someone else's house, he must have already married, and ......" Yi Niang hesitated when she said this, and finally continued to speak, "And I think Ping An Lang and Lizhi are too close, I'm really worried about ......"
"What are you worried about, Lizhi is a princess, and she has a good personality, are you still afraid that you are not worthy of Ping'anlang?" Li Xiu couldn't help but interrupt Yi Niang at this time.
"I'm not saying that Lizhi is bad, but Lizhi's body husband you should know better than anyone else, if she is not sick, I will definitely rush to ask her to be our daughter-in-law, but she can't have children, do you want our son to marry a wife who can't have children, and then you don't want a grandson?" When Yi Niang said at the end, her tone became very firm, the reason why she was so anxious to let Ping An Lang go on a blind date was not without this consideration.
"Lizhi's body is not very good, but after all these years of conditioning, it is not absolutely impossible to have children, but it will take a lot of risks, you must not talk nonsense, otherwise how will Lizhi marry if it is spread out?" Li Xiu also said seriously when he heard this.
"I know, let's talk about our son, why did you get involved with Lizhi?" Yi Niang immediately glanced at Li Xiu and said, which made Li Xiu also very helpless, obviously it was the first beauty mentioned by Yi Niang, why did she finally blame herself, did others say that it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs?
Although Yi Niang was in a hurry to go on a blind date for Ping An Lang, this kind of thing was not decided in a day or two, so she could only slowly find a suitable woman, and Li Xiu's side also began to shift her attention to the academy, because as time went by, Xiao Yu's side was almost ready, and it was ready to be announced at any time, and it would definitely cause a huge impact on the family's Nanshan Academy.
