"What's the matter?" Li Xiu heard that Ma Ye had something to discuss with him, and he didn't let himself get angry, which made him stunned and said, when did Ma Ye learn to be so polite?

"This ......" I saw Ma Ye hesitate again, and then he spoke, "Your mother came to me a few days ago and wanted to ask me to help make peace, after all, your father is old......

"Uncle Ma, you don't have to say it." Before Ma Ye finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiu, Li Xiu and Qi Niang's mother died early, fortunately, the red whisk girl was good to their brothers and sisters, and Li Xiu has always regarded her as her mother, and she usually sends people to send gifts during the New Year's holidays.

But the father-son relationship between him and Li Jing is very bad, especially after he took Qi Niang out of the house, there is no contact between the two, but the red breeze girl has always wanted to ease the relationship between their father and son, especially in the past few years, Li Jing has not led soldiers, she has been staying at home, and she has wanted to help Li Jing and Li Xiu make peace several times, but it has no effect.

Seeing Li Xiu's refusal so simply, Ma Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I knew that your kid would refuse, but even if you don't like Li Jing, he is still your biological father after all, and it will not be good for you to continue to be in such a stalemate." ”

"Uncle Ma, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the same is true of the relationship between relatives, now my own family is very happy, and the children also like me very much, which is also my hard work to run the family for many years, and for the family I was born in, I have not felt a trace of family affection since I was a child, my father is not a father, my son is not like a son, I don't like each other, since this is the case, it is better not to see, even if I do meet, it will only be more embarrassing." Li Xiu said very seriously at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Ma Ye couldn't help but sigh, and didn't say anything next, after all, Li Xiu was already an adult, and he also had his own opinions and ideas, and he could only suggest, not force him to do anything.

After saying goodbye to Ma Ye, Li Xiu returned home, but he thought of the things mentioned by Ma Ye, his heart was still a little heavy, not that he had any feelings for Li Jing, but that he felt a little sorry for the red whisk girl, although the other party was not his biological mother, but he took great care of him and Qi Niang, when Li Xiu's child was born, she would personally come to visit, and send the clothes she made for the child, it can be said that the biological mother is nothing more than that.

It's just that the red whisk girl is good, she just likes to get involved in the affairs between Li Xiu and Li Jing too much, in fact, she is really embarrassed to be caught in the middle, so she wants to make peace for their father and son, but she doesn't know that this matter is not something she can do, neither Li Xiu nor Li Jing refuses to back down, in fact, Li Xiu also feels that he doesn't need to back down at all, and as a result, the relationship between the two has been in a stalemate.

"What's the matter, my husband has something on my mind?" After dinner, Princess Pingyang deliberately found a time to meet Li Xiu alone and asked, after many years of husband and wife, Li Xiu couldn't escape her eyes even if she disguised it well on the surface.

There is nothing to hide between husband and wife, so Li Xiu told him about going to see Ma Ye today, but Princess Pingyang also smiled calmly after hearing it: "It turns out that Mother She is not dead, in fact, Mother has told the three of us about this before, I hope we can persuade you, but I discussed it with Yiniang and Yuechan, and felt that the husband would definitely not back down on this matter, so I politely refused." ”

Li Xiu couldn't help but glance at Princess Pingyang in surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect that the Red Whisk Girl would find his wife, but it is not surprising to think about it, Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang understand themselves best, so it is reasonable to refuse, and it is estimated that it is precisely for this reason that the Red Whisk Girl found Ma Ye.

"Alas, mother, she is really worried, but there is really no room for return to this matter, so she can only be disappointed." Li Xiu also sighed again at this time, he also knew that it was very difficult for the Red Whisk Girl to be caught in the middle, but this matter was not so easy to solve.

Seeing Li Xiu's anxious appearance, Princess Pingyang was also a little distressed, but at this time she seemed to remember something, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke: "Husband, there is something I think I can still hide from you." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu also raised his head when he heard Princess Pingyang's words and said, what will Princess Pingyang hide from herself?

"Actually, Jin'er told me about this, and he didn't know how to tell you, so he asked me to keep it a secret for him." I saw Princess Pingyang biting her lip at this time and said, Originally, this matter was a little secret between her and her son, but today she has talked about it here, and she also thinks that it is better to tell Li Xiu.

"Jin'er? What does he want to keep from me? Li Xiu asked again in surprise when he heard this, last time he helped Li Jin hide one thing from Princess Pingyang, that is, his marriage with Wu Mingkong, but now the marriage between the two has been decided, and they will get married when they are old, and Li Jin doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, right?

I saw that Princess Pingyang hesitated for a moment at this time, and finally spoke: "Isn't Jin'er in the military academy, Wei ...... Wei Guogong is also in charge of the military academy, although our two families have no contact, but Jin'er is his grandson after all, and Jin'er is also quite talented in the art of war, Wei ...... Wei Gong also likes Jin'er very much, so he wants to teach all his art of war to Jin'er, and Jin'er also likes it, so during this time, in addition to studying the courses of the military school, he is also learning the art of war with Wei Gong. ”

The name Li Jing is a taboo in Li Xiu's family, and Li Xiu has never regarded him as his father, so when Li Jing is mentioned, Princess Pingyang doesn't know what to call her, she can only be called Duke Wei, but she is very unaccustomed to it.

"Jin'er is learning the art of war with him?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Princess Pingyang's words, he really didn't expect that Li Jing would get along with Li Jin so well, and even give away the art of war?

Speaking of the art of war, we have to mention the family, the family controls the spread of Confucian knowledge, so that ordinary people can not enjoy the right to education like the children of the family, and the opposite of the family is the Jiangmen, that is, the family of generations of generals, although there are many military books in the world, but the teaching of the art of war is actually passed down from generation to generation in the form of a family, so it also formed the Jiangmen.

However, compared to the family, the influence of the generals is much smaller, after all, it is impossible for a country to fight every day, and the generals only care about wars, but all aspects of the country need civilian officials, which also makes the influence of the family spread throughout the country, and even the army is sometimes affected by the family.

It is precisely because the art of war is kept secret that Li Shimin set up a military academy, which is specially used to improve the military generals' literacy in the art of war, and by the way, it can also ensure the loyalty of the army.

Speaking of which, Li Jing was not born in the general, his grandfather and father were both civil officials, but his uncle was the former Sui general Han Baohu, so Li Jing was proficient in the art of war since he was a child, and later met with a bearded guest, and got the other party's gift of the art of war, so that Li Jing took the advantages of the two families, and combined his own wisdom and wisdom, as well as the experience summarized on the battlefield, became the master of the art of war in the Tang Dynasty, and was even called the "god of war" by later generations, and he himself also wrote many military books, but unfortunately most of them were lost later. But a small part of what has been handed down is enough to put him on the altar of the art of war.

It is also Li Jing's achievements in the art of war, so Li Shimin asked him to be in charge of the military academy, but Li Jing at most took out part of his art of war to provide teaching materials for the military academy, and he himself rarely taught the students, but he didn't expect him to open a small stove for Li Jin alone.

"Jin'er likes to learn the art of war from Duke Wei, but I'm afraid that you will be unhappy, so I asked me to hide it from you." Princess Pingyang saw that Li Xiu frowned and didn't speak, worried that he was really angry, so she opened her mouth to explain again, but when she said this, she suddenly showed a hesitant expression, and after a while, she finally spoke again, "And I think that Wei Gong is actually reconciling with her husband in disguise, so if there is a chance, your husband can also release a little kindness to Wei Gong, after all, the two sides are so stiff, it is indeed not good for anyone." ”

Although Princess Pingyang rejected the Red Whisk Girl, she is also a sensible person, and knows that the stalemate between Li Xiu and Li Jing is not normal, so if possible, she hopes that the two sides can reconcile, after all, who doesn't want their family to be harmonious?

Hearing Princess Pingyang's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after a long while, he spoke again: "I'm not unhappy, Jin'er is willing to follow him to learn the art of war, as for ......"

When he said this, Li Xiu suddenly stopped, and there was a hesitant expression on his face, as if he didn't know what to say, and the empathetic Princess Pingyang also immediately guessed his thoughts, so he spoke again: "I know that my husband will not blame Jin'er, but since Jin'er is taken care of by Duke Wei, I think it is better to prepare an extra one when I give my mother a gift this year, and send it over in the name of Jin'er, husband, what do you think?" ”

"Alas~, that's it, lady, you can do it, as long as you don't let me meet with the other party, you can do anything else!" Li Xiu suddenly sighed when he heard this, and said helplessly. Seeing Li Xiu agree, Princess Pingyang was also very happy, and then Dai Jin'er thanked Li Xiu, and then turned around and left to prepare for the festival.

Looking at Princess Pingyang's happy appearance, Li Xiu also shook his head again, but he didn't say anything, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a maid come to report: "Master Qiyu, the acquaintance in the front yard said that there is an important guest visiting!" ”
