Chapter 1027: Li Shimin's Mind
Li Xiu came to see Li Shimin to talk about the opening of the library, but what he never expected was that in the end, Li Shimin actually asked about Wanniang's marriage, which made him stunned, because this was too unexpected, after all, since Li Jiancheng's death, Yu Niang and Wan Niang and their sisters have been living in Li Xiu's house, and Li Shimin has never asked, and even when Yu Niang got married last year, he didn't say anything, of course, this is better, so as not to embarrass both parties.
"Ahem~, how could Your Majesty know about this?" Li Xiu was stunned for a while before he coughed dryly and asked, after all, Li Shimin's words were so surprising that he couldn't react for a while.
"I also listened to others, Wan Niang...... Wanniang and they are my nieces after all, and I naturally have to care about such a big matter as marriage. Li Shimin also seemed a little embarrassed when he saw Li Xiu's appearance, but he quickly recovered and continued, but when he mentioned Wan Niang, his voice still paused.
"Wan Niang is indeed going to get married, and the wedding will be held in the middle of this month!" Li Xiu finally came to his senses at this time, and he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, but lowered his head and replied.
"I heard that the other party is Pei Renji's son, the younger brother of Pei Xingyan?" Li Shimin then asked again.
"Yes, the other party's name is Pei Xingjian, and now he is joining the army under Su Dingfang, and because of his father's and brother's relationship, General Cheng and others also take care of him, and later they even studied the art of war under Su Dingfang, this young man has the style of his father and brother, and he will become a great weapon in the future!" Since Li Shimin opened his mouth to ask, Li Xiu also told the truth, and by the way, he also praised Pei Xingjian.
"Pei Xingjian, a young man, I remember that the last time Su Dingfang came back from the southwest, he specially mentioned to me that he was a proud protΓ©gΓ©, and Su Dingfang fought against Goguryeo before, and many plans were also made by Pei Xingjian, this person has such a talent at a young age, and he is indeed a rare pillar." Li Shimin also praised at this time.
You must know that Li Shimin, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is really in charge of every day, so it is indeed very rare for him to remember Pei Xingjian to join the army as a small person, and it also proves Pei Xingjian's talent from the side, after all, if he is not a particularly good person, he will not be able to enter Li Shimin's eyes at all.
"Yes, speaking of Wanniang and Pei Xingjian, a few years ago, Su Dingfang took Pei Xingjian to visit my house, and the two had their first encounter, and later met by chance at the Lantern Festival, so the lamp made a decision, but unfortunately there are no elders in the Pei family, so their weddings are usually handled by me." Li Xiu first briefly introduced the relationship between Pei Xingjian and Wanniang, and then complained to Li Shimin, hoping that he could be considerate of himself and give himself a vacation or something?
However, Li Shimin obviously didn't hear the meaning of Li Xiu's words, or even if he understood, he didn't care, but sighed again and said: "I am relieved that Wanniang can find Ruyi Langjun, but her niece is married, and I, as an uncle, can't say nothing." β
I saw that when Li Shimin said the above, he suddenly turned around and came to his bookcase, and then took out a holy decree from the top and handed it to Li Xiu and said: "Li Xiu, this is a little heart I give to Wanniang and her sisters, hope...... I hope they don't refuse! β
Seeing the holy decree handed over by Li Shimin, Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned again, then took it and opened it for a while, and then the expression on his face became a little complicated, and after a while, he said in great embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this is ...... These ......"
Before Li Xiu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin: "I know what you want to say, it is best for them to be willing to accept these things, and it is natural that they are not willing to accept them, and I, as an uncle, will not have trouble getting along with a few nieces, so you just need to bring them to them, and let them decide whether to accept them or not." β
Li Shimin said everything about this, Li Xiu didn't want to say anything, and immediately promised to put away the holy decree, and then Li Shimin asked about the preparations for Wan Niang's wedding, Li Xiu also answered one by one, and then said goodbye and left the palace, but on the way home, Li Xiu looked at the holy decree in his hand with a distressed face, and didn't know how to tell Wan Niang and her sisters about it when he went back?
Because Wan Niang wants to get married, Li Xiu's family is also busy, in addition to preparing the dowry, the house has to be cleaned inside and out, after all, the person who picked up the relatives will also come in that day, the house is too messy for people to laugh at, and there are other miscellaneous affairs, which are also very worrying.
As soon as Li Xiu got out of the carriage, he saw a young woman with a slight belly coming over and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are back, we have already prepared the process for the wedding day, and my aunt said that you should come back and take a look again, so as not to go wrong." β
The young woman who spoke was the mother who had been married last year, after she married Liu Yingdao as his wife, she was pregnant with a child in just one year, and now she has been four or five months old, and she should have raised the baby at home with peace of mind, but because of her sister Wanniang's marriage, she often came to help.
"Niang, you are pregnant with Liujia now, let your aunt and them worry about anything, in case you are tired of your body, I can't explain it to Ying Dao." Li Xiu couldn't help but be concerned when he saw Yu Niang, although four or five months of pregnancy did not affect his actions, it was still not reassuring to see Yu Niang walking around with her stomach up.
"Giggle~, uncle, don't worry about me, I know my own body, and Wanniang is getting married, if you let me ignore it, I won't be able to eat or sleep, and Sun Daochang also said that it is also good for the fetus to move properly when you are pregnant." When she heard Li Xiu's words, she smiled and said, she is the eldest sister in the family, and she has been taking care of Wanniang's sisters since she was a child, and now Wanniang is going to get married, and it is impossible for her to be a sister without worrying.
Li Xiu also understood Yu Niang's character, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard her words, but then he thought of the holy decree in his arms, which made his face flash a little complicated, and after a while, he spoke: "Yu Niang, you and I go to Wan Niang, I have something to tell your sisters!" β
Yu Niang was also stunned when she saw Li Xiu's expression when she spoke, and then asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter with my uncle?" β
"There's indeed something related to your sisters, but let's see Wan Niang and talk about it!" Li Xiu spoke again, there were many people around him, and it was really not the place to discuss this matter.
