Mr. Dou was silent for a while and said, "Master, what are your plans for this matter?"
After all, Li Yuan is the head of the family.
Li Xiuning's arrangement still had to be made by Li Yuan. Furthermore, since his parents had ordered a matchmaker, Li Xiuning's marriage, to put it bluntly, could be decided by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan thought for a while and then said: "Madam, this is the family's arrangement. My uncle said directly in front of me that once I refuse, our Li family will completely lose the support of Longxi Hall."
"You should know what the consequences will be if our Li family loses the support of Longxi Hall. Without the support of Longxi Hall, it will be difficult for our Li family to gain a foothold in this turbulent court situation."
"So, I can only accept it."
Li Yuan said seriously: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can only marry Xiuning to Wang Can."
When Dou heard this, he sighed.
Li Yuan continued: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, Wang Can is not bad. Although Wang Can is from a commoner family, he is not a member of aristocratic family or a big family, but he is capable and favored by the emperor, so he is destined to have an unlimited future. Xiu
Ning married Wang Can, but it would not be a disgrace to Xiu Ning."
Dou said seriously: "I agree with what the master said. I will go to Xiuning to persuade you."
"Thank you for your hard work, madam."
There was a smile on Li Yuan's face.
His old wife always supported him in all major matters, which Li Yuan was grateful for.
Mrs. Dou is also a capable person. After she agreed, she was about to stand up and go to inform Li Xiuning. But just when she was about to stand up, she suddenly had a doubt in her heart, so she said again: "Master, I am a woman, I don't know anything."
Great truth."
"But there are some whispers circulating among the women."
"I heard that Wang Can has offended countless people now. Even if Wang Can has the emperor's favor, he has enemies all over the world. Can he survive?"
Mrs. Dou said sternly: "What if Wang Can is dealt with right after our Xiu Ning gets married? It would not be good for Xiu Ning."
Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Madam, you are overly worried. Wang Can has many enemies when it comes to carrying out land reform. Even the aristocratic families and big families in the world hate Wang Can and even want to kill Wang Can."
"However, this does not affect Wang Can."
"Especially this time, countless people from both the government and the public were fighting against Wang Can. However, in order to protect Wang Can, the emperor directly killed the Yushitai officials who had remonstrated."
Li Yuan said seriously: "Wang Can's weight in the emperor's heart is not low!"
"That's good, that's good!"
After Dou heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For Du Du, she actually doesn't care about any important matters of family and country. What she cares about is actually very simple, just her family. Now, it involves Li Xiuning's happiness, nothing more.
Li Yuan said: "Madam, please go see Xiuning."
"yes!"
Mrs. Dou got up and left.
After Mr. Dou left, Li Jiancheng went straight in.
Li Jiancheng had previously known about the conversation between Li Xiong and Li Yuan. After seeing Li Yuan, he frowned and said: "Father, I married my little sister to Wang Can, but I am still worried that this beauty trap of my little sister will not work, or even
So, we are still helping Wang Can. After all, by marrying our daughter to Wang Can, our Li family in Longxi is giving Wang Can a birthright."
Li Yuandao: "How could my father not know what you mentioned? However, this is the decision of Longxi Hall. Things decided by Longxi Hall are rarely likely to be changed. This is impossible to change. Therefore,
As a father, I can only do what they do."
After Li Jiancheng heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "These old guys in Longxi Hall are really disgusting."
He doesn't have a good impression of Longxi Hall.
Since he came into contact with things, the Li family has received many tasks from the Longxi Hall, and they all ask the Li family to do things. However, the Longxi Hall only knows how to make arrangements, and always ignores the conditions of the people below.
So Li Jiancheng was quite angry.
Li Yuandao: "Jian Jiancheng, no matter what your attitude is towards Longxi Hall, but remember, those who want to achieve great things must have perseverance and endurance. Without full tenacity, things will not be done well. So, don't show it at will.
own emotions."
Li Jiancheng said: "The father's teachings will be remembered by the son in his heart."
Li Yuan said: "Go down and go about your business."
"yes!"
Li Jiancheng turned around and left.
On the other side, in the backyard of the Li family, in the school grounds.
As the dignified Li family of Longxi, the Li family has an extremely spacious house, nearly a hundred acres of the house, and a spacious school yard in the backyard. At this moment, in the school yard, a woman in her 28s, dressed in a samurai uniform, is practicing martial arts with a sword.
This woman is none other than Li Xiuning.
Her figure is graceful and graceful, with bulges that should be convex and curls that should be curved. Her melon-shaped face does not have any makeup on it, but there is a trace of sweat, but at a glance, she gives people an extremely beautiful feeling.
Especially those eyes, which are firm, bright and shining, giving people a heroic feeling.
A sword is in hand, the sword is shining brightly.
The cold light swayed across the school grounds, and the sword dance was instantly beautiful, but it also hid great murderous intent.
Li Xiuning's sword moves are not showy, they actually contain murderous intent. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child for nearly ten years. For a woman who practices martial arts in the winter and in the summer, her martial arts skills are not simple.
While Li Xiuning was practicing his sword, Mr. Dou came.
Mrs. Dou stood on the edge of the school ground and watched quietly. Seeing that Li Xiuning looked good in practice, her slightly weathered face was also filled with a knowing smile.
This is her daughter.
She is a daughter she is proud of.
Mrs. Dou's face was filled with a smile, but she did not interrupt or speak.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Li Xiuning stopped.
The maid waiting on the side quickly stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief. After Li Xiuning wiped the sweat from her face, she quickly walked to Mrs. Dou and said: "Mother, why are you here? Oh, you are really, too.
I have told you many times, just tell me when you come, don't wait. You also know that I am addicted to practicing swordsmanship and will not pay attention to the surrounding environment, so even if you are here, I will not know."
Her voice is clear, sweet, and extremely capable.
It sounds very comfortable.
Li Xiuning turned to look at the maid aside and said, "I told you, once mother comes, don't worry about what I do, just interrupt me. You have forgotten it again."
The maid hurriedly explained: "Miss, the madam won't let me."
With a faint smile on Mrs. Dou's face, she said: "Okay, don't blame others. It was indeed me who put out my hand to stop you. I'm not a big shot, so I have to stop and receive you."
Li Xiuning chuckled lightly, stretched out her hand to hold Dou's arm, and said with a smile: "To my daughter, mother, you are a big shot. As long as you are here, my daughter will not dare to delay and will handle your affairs immediately."
"You're a naughty boy, but your mouth is very sweet."
Mrs. Dou's face burst into laughter when she heard this, and she was very satisfied. In fact, all the children born to Mrs. Dou, including Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and other children born to Mrs. Dou, as well as women such as Li Xiuning, are all
They love their daughters. But they all love their daughters, but they don't pamper them. Therefore, all of Dou's children have become extremely talented.
Li Xiuning took everyone back to the house and sat down. Li Xiuning said, "What's the matter with mother?"
Mrs. Dou did not hide anything, and said: "Earlier, your father asked my mother to go there and said that it was your father who had decided on your marriage."
"ah!"
When Li Xiuning heard this, he immediately exclaimed.
Li Xiuning knew the matter of getting married, and even he himself had thought about it and dreamed about it many times. But in fact, Li Xiuning never thought that it would come so quickly.
The marriage was actually decided.
Li Xiuning took a deep breath to calm down her emotions and said, "Mother, who is the person I want to marry?"
Since you can't avoid it, accept it.
At least I feel better inside.
So when Li Xiuning heard what Dou said, she changed her mind and started asking.
Dou said sternly: "The person your father wants to marry you to is Wang Can, who is very prominent in the court. According to what I asked your father, Wang Can is an extremely simple man and is very reliable in his work. So you marry him."
Wang Can, I will not humiliate you."
"Wang Can?"
When Li Xiuning heard this, he immediately frowned.
Speaking of which, she also knew Wang Can. After all, Wang Can caused a great uproar and caused a series of major events. In fact, countless officials criticized Wang Can, but they were eventually suppressed by Yang Guang.
Li Xiuning naturally knew about such things.
Mrs. Dou saw Li Xiuning frowning and said, "Xiuning, what, are you unwilling? Or do you have any ideas?"
Li Xiuning said: "Mother, my daughter just heard that Wang Can carried out land reform in Liaoxi County and took all the land of everyone in Liaoxi County into the possession of the imperial court. Even if compensation was given, it still caused an uproar.
As a result, both the government and the public, as well as all the powerful families in the world, have dealt with this person one after another."
Mrs. Dou said: "Your father has said something about this. What do you think?"
Li Xiuning replied: "What my daughter means is that our Li family belongs to the Guanlong family and is also a member of the family. Now, letting my daughter marry Wang Can is tantamount to marrying Wang Can. Does it mean that our Li family will no longer deal with
Wang Can, turned around, is to win over Wang Can, is that right?"
Mrs. Dou shook her head and said: "Mom doesn't know what you said. You have to ask your brother and your father about these things. If you don't want to, you have to tell your father as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to settle things in the end."
Li Xiuning said: "Mother, in fact, my daughter has nothing against her. Wang Can has made great achievements single-handedly. The most important thing is that Wang Can is not only outstanding in ability, but also favored by the emperor.
"
After a pause, Li Xiuning continued: "Marrying such a person will not be an insult to my daughter. What my daughter considers is his attitude. In other words, it is Wang Can's attitude towards our Li family. And, our Li family,
What attitude you should adopt to face Wang Can is the key."
