Chapter 1044: The Great Truth
"Father, you're back, Mingkong and I have been waiting for a long time!" As soon as Li Jin saw Li Xiu's carriage, he immediately greeted him with a smile, but when he was talking, he still kept holding Mingkong's little hand, it seemed that this kid had become more emboldened after knowing that Li Xiu had agreed to his marriage with Mingkong.
"Be careful, aren't you afraid to let your mother know?" Li Xiu saw the intimacy between his son and Wu Mingkong, and couldn't help glaring at him and reminded, after all, there are many people in the mansion, maybe whoever says a few more words will reach the ears of Princess Pingyang, and if it arouses Princess Pingyang's disgust, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.
"It's okay, everyone in the family is very eye-catching, and no one dares to talk nonsense in front of their mother." Li Jin didn't care, but Wu Mingkong was a little embarrassed and wanted to break free from Li Jin's hand, but Li Jin grabbed it very tightly, and she couldn't shake it off even after two efforts.
Seeing his son's indifferent appearance, Li Xiu was also a little helpless, this kid has not had much patience since he was a child, it is estimated that if it wasn't for Mingkong to stop him, he might have gone to Princess Pingyang to confess today, so he might wish to let Princess Pingyang know about him and Wu Mingkong as soon as possible.
"Get in the car, let's find a place to discuss!" Li Xiu immediately instructed that since Li Jin had returned, he also needed to know his son's attitude towards this matter, but judging from the current situation, Li Jin was obviously more anxious than Wu Mingkong, so this matter must also be done as soon as possible, so as not to let Princess Pingyang know in advance, and then they would be too passive.
Li Jin and Wu Mingkong also got into Li Xiu's carriage at the moment, but they didn't go far, but came to the side of Huangqu, and then the three of them got out of the carriage, letting the guards and entourage stay away, and then Li Xiu said: "Jin'er, Mingkong should have told you, I want to know what your attitude is now?" β
"Father, do you need to say what kind of attitude I have?" Li Jin was still indifferent at this time, and from getting in the car to getting off the car, he also kept Wu Mingkong's little hands tight, but now Wu Mingkong couldn't raise his head in shame.
"Don't give me a hippie smile, this is a lifelong event for you, so I'm going to hear you say it yourself!" Li Xiu said with a blank face at this time. As Li Jin grows older, this kid's personality is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes even Li Xiu, the father, can't do anything about him, but fortunately, there is Princess Pingyang, for his mother, Li Jin has always been respectful and afraid, of course, this is mainly because Princess Pingyang has been strict with him since he was a child, so that Li Jin will be punished if he is not careful.
Seeing that Li Xiu was so serious, Li Jin finally restrained a little, thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "I know what you're worried about, father, Mingkong and I are indeed a little younger, and it's a little early ......to talk about marriage."
Hearing Li Jin's words, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but look up at Li Jin suddenly, his little face was also full of worry, but Li Jin turned his head and smiled at her, and then continued: "But Mingkong and I grew up together, we can be called childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and I am not interested in other girls, and only Mingkong can be my wife in this life, so I hope my father will be perfect!" β
When Wu Mingkong heard Li Jin's words, her little face once again showed a sweet and shy expression, but soon she thought that Li Xiu was still here, but she also hurriedly lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Li Jin again.
Li Xiu found that his son was indeed green in picking up girls, at least at his age, he didn't have as much courage and eloquence as him, but this is fine, at least he understands his attitude now.
"Okay, I understand the attitude of you and Mingkong, but I still have to formally warn you, if you get engaged, there is no possibility of regret in the future, especially Mingkong, you must think about it carefully!" Li Xiu spoke very seriously again at this time.
Compared with later generations, the binding force of marriage in this era is also greater, and after engagement, there is almost no regret, especially for women, engagement is actually equivalent to being married, and no matter what reason to regret the marriage, it will ruin the woman's reputation, and it will be too difficult to marry someone in the future.
"Once I make my decision, I will never regret it!" Wu Mingkong said almost without hesitation, she originally thought that there was almost no possibility between herself and Li Jin, but she didn't expect to get Li Xiu's support, so this made her cherish this opportunity very much, and she never thought of regretting it.
"I won't regret it either!" Li Jin also said at this time, but there was no hippie smile on his little face, but a serious expression, as if he really had to take on the responsibility of a man.
Seeing the determined appearance of the two, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile, although he was very envious of Li Jin and these young people, but young people also have some shortcomings, such as thinking about problems too simply, especially for feelings, sometimes they are too naΓ―ve.
"I'm glad you can say that you don't regret it, but as a person who has come over, I have a few words of advice that I don't know if you would like to hear, but I warn you in advance that this is not a good word, and it will even make you feel unpleasant." Li Xiu looked at the slowly flowing Huangqu River in front of him at this time, and then spoke again.
"If it's not a good word, forget it, father, you better keep it for yourself!" Li Jin said almost without hesitation, he knew his father too well, and there must be a bunch of big truths to talk about at this time, he didn't like these boring things.
"No, I want to listen, sir!" However, Wu Mingkong disagreed with Li Jin at this time, and his expression was very resolute.
"Hehe, one of you wants to listen, and the other doesn't listen, which makes me very embarrassed, why don't you unify your opinions first!" Li Xiu smiled indifferently at this time, and then took a few steps forward, the water of the Yellow Canal was still as clear as before, and occasionally fish could be seen pecking at the surface of the water, but he hadn't had time to fish here for a long time.
"Mingkong, you don't really want to hear your father tell you the truth, do you?" Li Jin asked Wu Mingkong in a low voice at this time, and his face also showed a little dissatisfaction.
"Sir's experience is not comparable to you and me, and what he said must also be his own experience for many years, so there will always be some benefit for us to listen to it." Wu Mingkong said again very firmly, she likes to listen to Li Xiu talk about some life insights, and sometimes she can be greatly inspired.
Seeing that Wu Ming wanted to hear it, Li Jin no longer insisted, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, since you like it, then let's listen to it!" β
Li Jin and the two agreed on the same thing, Li Xiu turned around with a smile at this time, then looked at them and said, "Look, you are not engaged yet, and there has been a disagreement just now......
"Father, is this a disagreement?" Without waiting for Li Xiu to finish speaking, Li Jin asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course, for the same thing, you have different opinions, this is a disagreement!" Li Xiu also glared at this time, he was also a little angry at Li Jin for interrupting him several times, it seems that after this kid went to the military academy, he didn't have too much temperament.
Seeing that his father was a little angry, Li Jin immediately didn't dare to speak again, and Li Xiu paused at this time and said: "When two people get along, whether they are husband and wife or friends, sometimes there will be some differences, and Jin'er also behaved well, because he chose to make concessions, so that the differences between the two of you disappeared, but the differences between you just now are the smallest one, if you really become husband and wife in the future, I am afraid that there will be more differences, and then you must also know how to give in and tolerate, so that you can go to the end!" β
"I understand what Mr. means, it is normal for husbands and wives to have differences, the key is how to deal with differences, and concession and tolerance are the solution to this problem." Wu Mingkong was very smart, and concluded thoughtfully at this time.
"No, father, isn't the relationship between you and your mother quite good, why have you never seen a disagreement or even a quarrel between you?" At this time, Li Jin asked again puzzled, he had indeed never seen his parents quarrel over anything since he was a child, which was not at all in line with what Li Xiu had just said.
"Who says there are no differences between us?" Li Xiu glanced at Li Jin and said, he didn't like to lead the topic to himself, but since Li Jin asked it, he couldn't avoid it.
"Did there ever be a disagreement between Mr. and Mr. Niang?" Wu Mingkong couldn't help but ask with a very interested expression when he heard this, and his big eyes also flashed with the light of gossip.
"How can there be no disagreements between husband and wife, Xiuning and I are naturally no exception, for example, we had a lot of disagreements about how to educate Jin'er and your children, and even had a few words, but I know how to talk to Xiuning openly and honestly, and then add moderate concessions, so we haven't blushed between husband and wife." Li Xiu thought for a moment before speaking.
Although the love in the fairy tale is beautiful, it is not a reality after all, it is inevitable that there will be friction between husband and wife in life, and he is naturally no exception, although the marriage in the previous life failed, but in this life he worked hard to manage his marriage, plus Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang and Yuechan are also considerate of themselves, so there has been no problem between their husband and wife.
Li Xiu originally wanted to use his own example to let Li Jin and Wu Mingkong understand how to get along with husband and wife, but obviously the two children were more interested in the things between him and his wife, and then they kept asking him about the details of the disagreement between Princess Pingyang and Princess Pingyang, and in the end, the conversation was completely crooked.
In the end, Li Xiu was also very helpless, it seemed that it was too early to tell them this, for them, the most important thing now was how to tell Princess Pingyang about Li Jin and Wu Mingkong,
