One hundred and sixty seventh chapter birthday (thirteen)
Li smiled and said, "Of course, you need to say this."
After saying that, he looked at Li Dui, who was saying a word, "I said, brother, you are such a strange father. Ji'er is still not here to organize a marriage for him. Could it be that you want our Li family to break up the queen?" [..com]
Li Dui hummed softly, frowned and said, "Do you think it's useful to worry about me?"
Li covered his mouth and chuckled, "Why is it useless? The so-called marriage event is the words of the matchmaker by his parents' orders. If what you say is useless as a father, then who says it is useful?"
Li Dui didn't take her tricks, but instead gave him a blank look and said, "You don't have a good memory. With your precedent, how about you, how can you still count on their younger generations?"
The meaning of Li Dui's words is self-evident, which naturally means that Li and Zhao He did not consider their parents' wishes back then, which made Li silent, so he had to glar at Li Dui and not say more.
Li Chong, who was standing beside him, found it interesting to see the two brothers and sisters bickering. He looked at Li, who looked cripple-looking and laughed, "What's wrong, girl, she usually looks clever, she has nothing to say this time. Now that I am a parent, I know the painstaking efforts of my father back then. You didn't say that at the beginning."
Li snorted and said, "So what if you choose yourself? The facts have proved that my vision is not bad, but it is much better than the cat and dog you found for me."
Li Chong glared at the beard and said, "What a cat or a dog? Who I chose for you was not a young talent and had a bright future. It was obviously you who refused and made excuses everywhere, otherwise you wouldn't..."
When he said that, he suddenly remembered that Zhao He was still there. He said this and would definitely embarrass him. He quickly stopped talking and kept silent.
Zhao He was not as petty as he thought. He just smiled and listened to the quarrel between the family, and did not feel any embarrassment. In fact, he had long known that his father-in-law was dissatisfied with him. Even after the two got married, they had never given up on the idea of letting his wife remarry others. It was not until Xin'er was born that he gradually stopped thinking. Now that he was still outstanding, Li Chong naturally looked at him with a different look.
His own status and achievements determine the view of others when looking at you. How could Zhao He, who is used to being in the warmth of human feelings, not know this truth? So he was not worried about Li Chong's dislike of his humble origins. He said in a favorable manner that if he had a daughter, he would definitely not accept her and a poor boy who had been privately determined for life.
But Li ignored his father's words and just looked at Li Ji and said with a smile, "Ji'er, aunt asked you, do you have anyone you admire?"
Li Ji shook his head awkwardly: "I am busy with official business and have never had such boring thoughts."
After hearing this, Li was both angry and funny, glaring at him and said, "How could it be a boring thing? You are the only seed of our Li family. Could it be that you want our Li family to break the rear and make your eldest father angry to death?"
"It would be easy to deal with if you don't like someone you like. Since your father said he couldn't control it, then leave it to my aunt. Auntie will definitely help you find a woman with both talent and beauty, and you will never let you down!" Li patted his chest and said confidently.
"It's just that it's really inconvenient for you to be away from home, and it's not good to be away from home all year round. Why not find an opportunity to transfer back to Handan?"
Li Ji looked helpless, but he couldn't refute his aunt's enthusiasm, so he had to say a few words in a vague way, without saying whether he agreed or disagree. He thought about shifting the topic to Zhao Xin, so he hurriedly said to Li, "By the way, aunt, I heard you say that my cousin is just engaged, so when will he get married?"
Li had already heard of Zhao Xin’s “Boy’s Fight” from his family. He glared at Zhao Xin angrily and replied: “You ask that guy yourself.”
Zhao Xin scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "This... this is fast for a year, and slow for a little bit, hard to say."
Li Ji was stunned. After an ordinary family got engaged, they would immediately look for the marriage between time and day. Zhao Xin was strange and said, "Why does it take so long?"
Before Zhao Xin could make up his words, Li Chong, who was beside him, had already laughed, "No matter when he got married, since he had set his name, he was my granddaughter-in-law. I want to see which family dared to steal my granddaughter-in-law after eating the ambitious leopard."
Seeing that my grandfather helped him, Zhao Xin laughed dryly and said, "That's right, mainly because I'm still young and don't want to get married so early. Anyway, it's a sure thing, so it doesn't make a difference sooner or later."
Li Ji nodded and said, "This is the same, but cousin, you are proud of your youth and have an unlimited future. I don't know how good this lady of the Ran family looks and is worthy of you."
Li smiled and said, "I like this girl first. How could your aunt have a bad eye? Regardless of her talent or appearance, this Ran Min is a first-class woman. Otherwise, according to Xiner's stubborn temper, how could she obey our arrangements?"
Speaking of this, a little smugness appeared on Li's face. Li Ji smiled and nodded, "So that's it. It seems that Ran Min must be the one in a hundred. It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to meet him."
Li Chong smiled and said, "Who said there is no chance? We have a family dinner in our mansion tonight. We invited the famous musician, the piano master in Handan. Min Yatou is young and thinks she likes lively, so she can send someone to come with her. Anyway, she will be from our family sooner or later."
"This is not possible." Li said to his father's eyes, "The girl is already quiet and delicate. If you send someone to invite her so easily, you will definitely find a reason to shirk her. If you really want to invite her to the banquet, it is better to let Xiner go and invite her in person. On the one hand, you can get closer to the Ran family, and on the other hand, you can seem much more sincere."
Li Chong nodded after hearing this, "What I said is right, I am biased."
He looked at Zhao Xin again and said, "Then you go to the Ran family and ask the girl Min to come to the mansion."
Zhao Xin looked embarrassed and hesitated, "This...this is not very good."
He was a person with good face, and the young man who had just started to have a feeling of love was a little shy about men and women. He had a marriage contract at noon and was going to visit his house now, which really made him a little reluctant.
Li Chong glared at the sight and said fiercely, "What's wrong with it? It's decided to do it. You can go here and go quickly and return quickly."
Zhao Xin said "Oh" reluctantly, shrank his body and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Ji.
"It's okay for you to go to Ran Mansion with you. So gradually, what does this legendary brother and sister look like, okay?"
With Li Ji accompanying you, you can also be brave. Zhao Xin naturally couldn't ask for it, so there was no reason to refuse. He nodded quickly.
But Li called out to the two people who were about to leave, turned around and whispered to the butler who was standing by, and the butler nodded and turned to leave. Li turned around and glared at Zhao He and others with some blame. "You men are really careless. How can you new son-in-law go empty-handed when they visit her father-in-law for the first time? You are still in high positions in the temple, and none of them remember these etiquettes."
Li Chong heard his daughter scolding him and he coughed in awkwardly, and hurriedly said, "You woman is still thinking carefully, but where can you prepare a betrothal gift in this hasty?"
Li was both angry and funny, and said angrily, "This is not a betrothal gift. The Book of Etiquette says, 'Battle Seventh Edge, Hou Bo Wu Jie, and Zi Nan Three Third Edge, so it is obvious that the noble and humble are.' What a grand thing this is, it is the etiquette that Xiner should prepare when he is about to marry someone. Now it is just the first time he visits, so he is naturally much more casual. I just told Wang Quan to go to the kitchen to get some of the game jerky left over from the luncheon, and it is just a little bit."
Although the people present were all in high positions and powerful, they were really unknown about these matters, so they let Li make the decision. So Zhao Xin got on the horse and held a piece of venison jerky in the other hand, a deer on the saddle, and a string of dried bacteria on his back. With a bitter face, he went to Ran Mansion with Li Ji in an inappropriate manner.
