Li Chongyi was certainly beaten severely by his old man.
But he still looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
Judging from his appearance, he must have identified Cui Yinghe.
"A useless thing."
Li Xiaogong was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Brother, please don't get angry. You are so angry that you are not worth it. We, the Tang Dynasty, still have to rely on you."
After saying that, he walked directly to Li Chongyi and said, "Boy, do you really think Cui Yinghe can like you?"
"Why don't you look down on it?"
Li Chongyi looked proud.
"A few days ago, we met at a poetry club, and she chatted with me for a long time."
"Are you sure it was her who was talking freely to you?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "How did I hear that you were the one who forced me to talk?"
Hearing this, Li Chongyi blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"Anyway, she didn't refuse, right?"
"As long as you don't refuse, you are interested in me..."
"Besides, I also received a handwritten letter from her. In the letter, she even wrote a love poem to me."
"My cousin, please wake up."
"The Cui family wants money, money, and power."
"Once upon a time, in order to win over them, my father asked Uncle Cheng to marry a widow from his family, but he pushed back and forth."
"Do you think you can compete with me, Uncle Cheng?"
Li Chengqian simply didn't want to save face for him, and directly patted his face and said: "Cousin, I advise you to look in the mirror."
"The Cui family are all a bunch of people who can't afford to be young. Miss Cui is even more ambitious than the sky."
"Although you have won a hereditary position through my uncle's extraordinary achievements."
"But think about it yourself, are you worthy?"
Li Chongyi said nothing.
Li Chengqian continued: "Okay, let me make it clear to you today." "The Cui family has been transferring grain from the south to the north for generations, making huge profits."
"But since Emperor Father issued the official grain order, grain should be transported by water."
"And the selling price is much cheaper than what the Cui family sells."
"The Cui family's business is not doing well right now, so they threw a daughter here to catch you."
"Do you think Miss Cui really likes you?"
"To tell you the truth, the reason why she is chasing you is not because of how good you are, but because my uncle is the general manager of the grain transportation road."
"It has nothing to do with who you are."
"I can also tell you that if the general manager of the grain transportation road is Uncle Cheng, Miss Cui will have to curry favor with Cheng Chusi tomorrow."
Li Chengqian's words hit the nail on the head.
Li Xiaogong also sneered at the side and said: "The toad on the ground doesn't know how much he weighs, and he still wants to eat swan meat."
Apart from other things, Li Xiaogong definitely tried his best to ridicule Li Chongyi.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh.
He walked directly in front of Li Chongyi and said: "To tell you the truth, you think Sister Sun is not good, but I also think you are not worthy of Sister Sun."
"Not to mention that the Sun family previously supported Uncle Cheng in every possible way when he was in dire straits."
"Let's just say that during the Xuanwu Sect Incident, the Sun family supported Uncle Cheng's decision even though they were under pressure to exterminate three other clans."
"But what happened next?"
"I have exposed the secrets of so many ministers in the court, do you think I have revealed anything wrong with the Sun family?"
"After Uncle Cheng became prosperous, not only did the Sun family never approach each other, but they also never used Uncle Cheng's name to do anything heretic."
"What kind of character the Sun family has, it's not hard to tell just from this incident."
"Isn't this much better than that aristocratic family that only knows how to use the marriage of their children to connect people?"
"Okay, you can think about this matter by yourself today. I've finished what I have to say."
Li Chengqian turned around and faced Li
Xiaogong cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, if nothing happens, my nephew will leave first."
"Um."
Li Xiaogong nodded and stood up, saying: "The clan uncle will take you to the door."
Li Chengqian did not refuse.
When he walked to the door, Li Xiaogong said to Li Chengqian: "This time about the Sun family, I really want to say thank you to you."
"No need."
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Not to mention that my clan uncle and I are relatives. When I was a child, my cousin took care of me, so I have the obligation to help."
"It's just that my cousin has a bad temper, you still need to enlighten him more."
"If anything else happens, you just need to summon me and I will come right away."
Li Xiaogong smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Brother, you're welcome. You can go back first. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Li Chengqian left with Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong.
Wait until Li Chengqian leaves.
Li Xiaogong walked into the main room with a dark face.
Li Chongyi lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Xiaogong just looked at him.
The two were speechless for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Chongyi slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Li Xiaogong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"take things too hard……"
Li Chongyi looked at Li Xiaogong.
"Dan'er will not disobey his father's wishes."
"The son will marry whomever the father tells his son to marry..."
"well……"
Li Xiaogong sighed and said, "I really don't know what to say to you."
"There are some experiences that I can't teach you directly like I teach you martial arts. I can only rely on you to slowly ponder them."
"But today, as a father, I want to speak plainly to you."
"Your father has fought all his life to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty. Today he has gained the emperor's trust."
"Dad is old, really old."
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Chongyi: "The only thing dad can leave you is the title of King of Hejian."
" As for how you will go in the future and how far you can go, dad really can't control it."
"But I hope you will promise me not to let my family die because of a woman."
At that moment, Li Chongyi was stunned.
He looked straight at Li Xiaogong for a long time.
It was as if it was the first day I met my father.
Before, Li Xiaogong only beat and scolded him for his education methods.
He never thought that one day his father would speak to him in such an almost pleading tone.
Li Chongyi clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes tightly.
Finally, he forced out a smile and said with a trembling voice: "Dad, I will go to Sun's house with you tomorrow to propose marriage..."
Li Xiaogong was stunned for a moment.
After a long time, he smiled.
"Okay, tomorrow I will prepare a generous gift and take you to propose marriage."
…
That night.
Li Chengqian sat alone in the courtyard.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I suddenly felt a little melancholy.
Just when he wanted to point at the bright moon and curse a few unpleasant words.
Li Shimin's figure appeared in front of him.
For the first time, Li Chengqian did not stand up to greet him, let alone call him father.
He was still sitting there, looking at the moon.
Li Shimin sat next to him: "Is it possible that you, the boy, fell in love with that girl from the Sun family and regretted the match between her and Li Chongyi?"
"No."
Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Then why are you unhappy?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
Li Chengqian didn't know how to describe his mood.
After a long time, he said something to Li Shimin.
"Father, do you think there is any marriage in this world that does not care about interests or family background?"
Li Shimin smiled: "Yes, your mother and I..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes.
If you ask the emperors in history, who is the most narcissistic?
Li Shimin claimed the second place, but he was afraid that no one would dare to claim the first place.
