Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 692 Cui House

In fact, today's visit to Li Keshi and his wife was mainly because of the friendship between the two families, not for Li Jing. If Li Shan came back to Beijing immediately after the meeting, it might be for Li Jing.

When the matter of Daidi came to an end, Li Keshi and Li Shan both changed the subject. During the luncheon, Mrs. Chang Sun personally accompanied her. During the dinner, the matter of Cui Shiniang in Sun Moon Lake was frequently mentioned. Even in five surnames and seven families, such a woman Also rare.

Li Keshi was too lazy to listen to his wife's narration, so he brought the topic to Sinong Temple, "Now it is Sinong Shaoqing and Zhao Yuankai. This person is good at changing things and is known for his reason..."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Shan's mouth twitched, "I've heard his name."

Master Li laughed, "That's good."

After deciding to choose the position of Secretary of Agriculture, Ling Jing and Princess Pingyang have specifically explained that your future deputy will not be a fuel-efficient lamp... It's not that Zhao Yuankai will hinder Li Shan, but that this person has a bad reputation .

Zhao Yuankai, a descendant of the Zhao family in Tianshui, his father was Zhao Fen, the former prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. He has held many positions, but the most important and the most notorious position for him is Jiangdu Juncheng, which is about the time when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Jiangdu. day.

Collecting strange things, offering precious food and fine wine, so he was named Duke of the county... The reputation is not good, but this is a product that is particularly good at charming.

In the second year of Wude, Yu Wenhuaji was captured and killed by Dou Jiande, and Zhao Yuankai entered the Tang Dynasty. Generally speaking, Li Yuan would confer titles on officials who defected to Li and Tang in the former Sui Dynasty to show his tenderness. Sui was the Duke of the county, and he didn't get anything after entering the Tang Dynasty.

For this reason, Zhao Yuankai did a jaw-dropping thing. Prince Li Jiancheng once went to Lishan to run a hot spring, and someone offered a fish. Refused, but this person's reputation is even worse.

Now Li Shan's reputation has been praised in all aspects, but only money... For example, Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang still think that Li Shan is either polluting himself or getting it in a proper way, but Ling Jing, who knows Li Shan well It's full of worries!

If Zhao Yuankai collected people's wealth, or took bribes, and gave away most of the money, you, Li Shan, are not blind to money, but you still love Aduwu!
Thinking of Ling Jing's words, Li Shan felt a little hopeful... That Zhao Yuankai will really send me money?

"Prince Zhongyun once reprimanded him harshly, and Duke Keming also despised him." Seeing Li Shan's expression, Master Li Ke explained, "There is no need to worry."

This is to name Zhao Yuankai's political stance, it's not that he doesn't want to cling to him, it's that the East Palace and Qin Palace are unwilling to take it... Li Shan is even more relieved, "My nephew's appointment as Minister of Agriculture is just for cotton."

"Zhao Yuankai is now in charge of the granary storage in Neiguan and Hedong." Li Keshi specifically pointed out: "Si Nongqing Liu Qing, who just became an official, has been recuperating for more than half a year due to illness. The Si Nong Temple is headed by Zhao Yuankai. If there is a shortage of granaries..."

"Naturally, we have to send someone to check it out." Li Shan nodded, but his eyes were a little wandering, and he thought of something else.

Changsun was too lazy to listen to these official matters, looked at Su Dingfang and smiled and said: "The eldest son of the Su family is very lucky, Liu Niang is gentle and gentle, he should be a good match."

Two months ago, Li Jing went to Sanyuan and Chang'an one after another, and arranged marriages with several younger brothers. Although Su Dingfang came from a slightly inferior family background, he was named the County Duke due to his military exploits. He would not reject such a son-in-law.

Li Keshi and Li Qianyou are even more happy to see the success, hoping to make up for the possible rift with Li Shan with this marriage.

When the news came back to Zhuangzi, Su's mother was overjoyed and wished that the wedding would be held the next day, and Mrs. Zhu would help to preside over it. Li Shan then wrote to Wen Yanbo, Duke of Xihe County, Minister of Zhongshu, asking him to come forward as a matchmaker.

Li Yaowang's young daughter is 15 years old, and Su Dingfang is 27. The process is very fast, but the three books and six rituals have to be done step by step.

Now Nacai, Wenming, and Najib have all gone, and the letter of engagement was delivered half a month ago. A few days ago, the letter of ceremonies, dowry, gift money, and dowry were sent. This is the recruitment.

If there are no accidents, you can ask for a date a year ago, and you can welcome your relatives by choosing a good date after the year.

Thinking of this, Li Shan showed unabashed envy on his face.

"Huiren can't wait too?" Mrs. Changsun covered her mouth with a slight smile, "Sister Zhang's family is thinking about next year, but Cui Sheren..."

Li Shan secretly gritted his teeth, Cui Xin...does he have to wait until he is 15 years old?
When will we have to wait?
No, Li Shan felt ruthless in his heart. He remembered reading miscellaneous books in his previous life, and there were so-called condoms in ancient times. Try it later!
If it doesn't work, he can withdraw at a critical moment... I don't know if this trick will work or not.

After going out, Li Shan saw that it was still early, so he went to Cui's mansion alone... Anyway, you Cui Xin didn't post a post, so I can come any time.

The frowning father-in-law hadn't left the office yet, but the mother-in-law was very polite and open-minded, and asked Cui Shiniang to come out and cook tea to entertain guests.

"Li Langjun." Cui Shiniang's ears were pierced and she was slightly reddish.

Li Shanting's voice was clear and sweet, trembling slightly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister."

Speaking of which, they have been engaged for more than half a year, but this is the first real conversation. Li Shan quickly took a look. He is 12 years old this year and 13 years old next year, but he is not short in stature, uh, he is also long up.

"Try Huairen, this is the handicraft that Miss Zhu taught Eleven Niang." Zhang said with a smile: "Originally Eleven Niang loved poetry and painting in Qinghe, but now she cooks good tea."

Li Shan lowered his head and took a sip, smiling at Cui Shiniang who was bowing her head. She is really a clever little lady. Mrs. Zhou and Xiaoman both mentioned that Shinyiang knew that she didn't like tea and only drank water on weekdays. .

Cooking good tea is naturally because of the future mother-in-law.

"I haven't listened to my sister's poems yet." Li Shan regretted saying this, in case someone took it out and asked me to comment...

Fortunately, Cui Shiniang said directly: "Don't dare to use the axe."

"The name of Li Scrutiny has already spread all over the world." Zhang said angrily, "Naturally, Eleven Niang can't compare."

"Haha, but my nephew has never learned painting." Li Shan said with a smile, "I will ask my younger sister to teach me art in the future."

As soon as the words were spoken, Li Shan felt a little ambiguous.

"Then we'll have to wait." Mrs. Zhang couldn't be more satisfied with this son-in-law now. Both civil and military skills are standard among the children of the aristocratic family, but there are very few who have such high achievements in both civil and martial arts.

Moreover, Li Shan has always attached great importance to the people around him, and his daughter and Zhu Shi have hit it off again. Presumably this young couple will get along very harmoniously in the future.

"You don't have to wait too long."

Zhang's added words made Li Shan get up and salute solemnly, "I'll leave it to my aunt."

"Gegege." Mrs. Zhang laughed for a while, got up and said, "I still have a few chores to do today, Huairen, let's have another two cups."

Li Shan nodded again and again, his eyes collided with Cui Shiniang, thinking that the mother-in-law and the old father-in-law are completely two extremes!
