"Second girl, this life is over!"
The carriage drove slowly back to the palace, and the old man in the carriage leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes to rest, and spoke.
Zhu Yunxi, who was leaning by the window, was slightly surprised, "Grandpa Huang, second girl?"
"Oh, Li Jinglong's nickname!" the old man said with a smile, "Before him, he had an eldest son, but he died within a hundred days. Later, after having him, your grandmother told him that you were going into battle.
A military commander who kills people is somewhat detrimental to the harmony of heaven. If he kills too many people, his karma will inevitably be repaid to his heirs!"
"If this son wants to stay, he must be raised as a daughter, so I gave him a nickname, Er Yatou!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Ha, my grandson really doesn't know about this!" As he said that, he asked, "What do you mean by always saying that he will end up?"
"The hat is over!" the old man said calmly, "I don't have any courage at all!" He said, and sighed slightly, "If we guessed correctly, Luzon's sweet potato seeds and those farming natives are just one of them. You want to
I am afraid that if we carry out the concession matter, we will build a bridgehead first in order to attack Luzon in the future!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang has a sharp eye and can hide nothing from you!"
"I don't understand things at sea, but I can't understand this kind of war after a lifetime of fighting!" The old man said with a smile, "As long as there is gold and copper in Luzon, depending on your temper, you can still do it for nothing.
Leave it without taking it?"
"That place is not Goryeo. There is no saying that it has been a land of China since ancient times. If it is really classified as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the people who led the troops to capture Luzon the next day will have contributed to the expansion of the territory!"
"The second girl doesn't even think about it. Is this the advantage of going to Luzon this time? By then, she will be familiar with the Luzon seaport and know the strength of the troops there. Li Jinglong, the general in charge of the army, will do his part!"
"Hmph, he is now a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke. With such military achievements, why worry about not being able to rise to the next level?"
"He only wanted to pursue the title of county king like his grandfather and father, but now it seems that he is short-sighted. We still wanted to give him a chance, but he failed to live up to his expectations!"
Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized, "So you always want to promote him?"
"There are so many Zhuangzi, why do we want him? So many people can go to sea, why do we choose him?" The old man said with a smile, "It's not that no one is available, it's just that we think he is quite suitable. The brat doesn't know it.
Promise, damn it!"
~~~
The scene changes to the backyard of Cao Guogong Li's house, and Li Jinglong's bedroom.
Li Jinglong and his wife Deng Si sat silently, the former stared blankly at the lights, while the latter kept sobbing.
"Are you annoyed or not? Stop howling!" Li Jinglong was irritated, and it was useless for his wife to cry like this.
Mrs. Deng even swallowed, "It's so pitiful that our son has never traveled far away since he was a child. It's a good idea now. He's going to sea to go to other countries. Is that a joke? It's a vast sea, what if something happens to him?"
, Deng's heart felt like a knife piercing her heart, and she couldn't help crying loudly.
"You..." Li Jinglong's eyelids twitched and he said angrily, "A loving mother often loses her son!"
"Second girl!" Mrs. Deng was also furious, "You say one more thing?"
"You are not allowed to call me by my nickname!" Li Jinglong glared at me.
"I only have this son!" Mrs. Deng leaned down on the case and cried, "I only have this son! He has been under my nose since he was a child, what should I do? Wow, what if he has some ups and downs?
, I don’t live anymore either!”
"Hey, it's going to kill me!" Li Jinglong stamped his feet, looked at his wife, and finally stretched out his arms to hug his wife, "It's okay, going to sea is not a big deal. The emperor said that warships will accompany them, and there will be veteran sailors for navigation.
Nothing can go wrong!"
"You can't plead with the emperor..." Deng cried.
"Our son has chosen his own path, how can I ask for it?" Li Jinglong sighed, "He wants to be a hero, but I, the father-in-law, stop him? Alas, today I understand what my father said that day."
"Being from a noble family, it is our destiny to be wrapped in horse leather. Being able to die in bed is a blessing from God!"
"Woooooooo!" Mrs. Deng cried again.
"What our son said today actually makes me feel angry and happy at the same time." Li Jinglong smiled bitterly, "I'm so angry that he doesn't know how to do it and just wants to do the porcelain work, but I'm happy because my second son still has ambition after all.
, promising!"
"My son is right, a good man cannot stay under his father's wings all his life."
Deng raised his head, his face full of tears, "Can't he imitate you? How can he be so strong when things get tough?"
"Learn from me? Do you think I have had an easy time these years?" Li Jinglong smiled bitterly, "Dad left early, and I am the only one who can carry the huge Cao Guogong Palace. The exchange of favors has made the family proud. Who knows the suffering I have suffered these years?"
"Who didn't want to be a hero when they were young, but I know I can't be a hero. If I become a hero and leave a family of orphans and widows, who the hell will look at us?"
As he said that, Li Jinglong suddenly smiled and said, "My son is better than me, and his courage is stronger than mine!"
At this moment, the housekeeper quietly appeared outside the door and said through the door, "Master, Madam!"
Deng let go of Li Jinglong, "What's going on?"
"You asked the young master to return the girl you chose for him?" the housekeeper said softly.
"Return it?" Deng was puzzled, "Why? Did he not like it?"
Before the children of aristocratic families go off to war, there is a tradition of leaving behind children. That is to say, the parents select the girls with good looks and good figure from the family and send them to their sons to live in the same room. Firstly, it allows the children of the family to enjoy the things of men and women before going out.
, secondly, if God is merciful and can leave an heir.
"The eldest young master didn't say anything, but he returned it anyway?" the housekeeper asked.
Madam Deng suddenly became worried and said to Li Jinglong, "How could he come back? The girl I chose for him is the most beautiful girl in the family?" Then she thought about it, "Could it be that he likes women from outside? Oops, from outside.
How can a woman keep a clean house?" At this point, she cried and scolded again, "It's all you who are a playboy and a playboy. My son has imitated you since he was a child and likes those coquettish people. How can I live like this!"
Distraught by his wife's crying, Li Jinglong stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, he walked out of the door and walked towards his son's courtyard.
As the eldest son of the Li family, Li Qi lives in a separate courtyard, and it looks much more magnificent than Li Jinglong's house.
Li Jinglong slowly approached, waved the servant outside the door to retreat, and looked at his son's reflection on the window.
Li Qi sat quietly by the window, holding a book in her hand and reading carefully by the candlelight.
In an instant, Li Jinglong's heart surged with warmth.
He walked over and said, "What are you reading at night? You didn't even try to learn from me before, but now you're serious about it?"
Hearing his voice, Li Qi pushed open the window, stood up and said with a smile, "Father!" He said with a shy smile, "It's because my son didn't study hard before, so now he wants to make up for it. After his son enters the palace, he will
I’ve figured out a lot!”
"My son used to think that he was a royal relative, and that his family could enjoy endless wealth and wealth for generations to come. But since working as an errand beside the Crown Prince, my son has understood that the day will come when all the love and credit will be used up. I want to
If you want to make a difference, you must study and make a difference!"
Li Jinglong sighed and said happily, "You have grown up to think so!" As he said this, his eyes fell on the book his son was reading. It was the must-read book for the young generals in the Fifth Army Commander's Office, the Outline of Military Training.
This book is also a textbook on martial arts. It not only describes and explains in detail all the wars of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning of the war to the 20th year of Hongwu, but also points out its mistakes, gains and losses.
"You don't want to be an official in the future?" Li Jinglong asked.
"Officer? How can my son, who is such an idiot, play with those scholars?" Li Qi said with a smile.
"Attache!" Li Jinglong sighed and said, "Why did you return the girl your mother chose for you?"
"My son's thoughts are not on women!" Li Qi said with a smile, "It's just going to sea, not going to war, so my mother is making a fuss out of a molehill!" After saying that, she paused again, "If my son uses that girl, if he really has one,
Heir. It won’t look good if the daughter of the King of Jin marries in the future!”
Li Jinglong thought for a long time, "You've really grown up!" As he said that, he patted his son on the shoulder. He was about to leave, but stopped and asked, "Did I hurt you today?"
Li Qi looked at his father, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Dad, it doesn't hurt!"
"Why are you crying?" Seeing his son's eyes red, Li Jinglong couldn't help it.
"My son was ignorant when he was young and always made his father angry!" Li Qi slowly knelt down and saluted. "When my son grows up, he will see his father's calculations every day and how...his son will be very disapproving, even a little bit.
Unfilial. My son sometimes feels that his father has done something a little..."
"I think your father is too good at scheming and trying to flatter others. It's embarrassing, right?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
Li Qi kowtowed, "Only after entering the palace did my son understand your difficulties, father. Such a big family depends on you to support it. The reason why my son can be disobedient is all earned by your hard work."
"Don't say it, don't say it!" Li Jinglong's nose was so sore.
"Others look at your glory, but only you know your difficulties and grievances over the years!" Li Qi even swallowed, "Whether you are going on an expedition or serving as an official in the government, it is all for this family.
For the sake of your son and mother, you never show off to your son, and you always tell him that if the sky falls, you will bear it..."
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Li Jinglong turned his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"Thinking of this, my son feels ashamed." Li Qi then spoke softly, "Dad, when my son is older, he will be able to help you share your worries in the future. You don't have to work hard to support the Li family anymore!"
"Son!" Li Jinglong murmured, tears streaming down his face.
After a long time, he rubbed his face fiercely with his big hands, turned around and said, "Let's go, dad will take you to drink!"
"Where can I drink?" Li Qi wondered.
"Baihua Tower!" Li Jinglong said.
Li Qi was shocked, "Mom's side?"
It should be noted that Baihualou is one of the best venues in Beijing, and Miss Xiyu, the leader, is a rare place that even a million dollars can see.
"I have known for a long time that you are thinking about the top star of Baihualou!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "On weekdays, your mother is very strict, so I'm afraid you can only watch from a distance. Today, I am here to let you get what you want!"
"
"This..." Li Qi said dumbly, "But that girl is just a prostitute, not her body..."
"It's a chicken egg!" Li Jinglong said disdainfully, "If Cao Guogong's sign is smashed over, if she dares not to sell it, leave!"
