Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 122
Concubine Dou never expected that Li Lijun would say such a thing.

She just thought she heard it wrong: "You want the forest farm in Saga Mountain? It's not a good industry right now, what do you want it for? If it's just for the convenience of keeping filial piety, Saga Mountain is so big, where can't you build a separate courtyard? No... What are you doing running so far to keep your filial piety? How old are you? Naturally, you want to live at home!"

Concubine Dou realized that she was dazed by Li Lijun, and she quickly gathered herself together: "You child, didn't you come up with such a stupid idea just to please me? How dare you say that no matter how much my brother asks, you will pay for it." I am willing to agree. What if my brother Lion opens his mouth and asks a sky-high price? Can you agree?! Even if your mother left you a rich fortune, she didn't let you be so reckless!"

Li Lijun smiled and said: "My son knows how grandma is, and I can trust Fufeng Dou's upbringing. Neither you nor Uncle Dou would do such a thing."

"It's not that the Fufeng Dou family has never had scum. Didn't you just see a few today? Where did you get the confidence?!" Concubine Dou gave Li Lijun a look of resentment, "I just pretended I didn't hear that, Don't mention it anymore! If you want to move out to keep your filial piety, it is because you are afraid of your Aye and his new acquaintance, just put your mind at ease! The prince will definitely not allow such a slut to enter the house!"

Li Lijun said lightly: "But that lady is very useful in speaking before the emperor. People in the clan get married, but if she comes forward to act as a matchmaker, a sage will not respond. If she proposes marriage for herself, regardless of whether Ayele is happy or not, Could A Weng really reject the will of the saint?"

Concubine Dou was dumb.Yes, King Sui is hoping that the sage will forgive him, and trust and care for his younger brother as before, instead of treating him like an ordinary clan.Even if he didn't like it in his heart, as long as the sage ordered a marriage, he couldn't refuse it.

And will the sage decree to grant marriage?For a nephew and a notorious woman?

It's hard to say.The saint has done even more absurd things in recent years.He has always doted on Mrs. Guo Guo, maybe if the imperial concubine acted like a baby, he would agree?
Concubine Dou stopped talking, and Li Lijun took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Grandma knows that lady's reputation in Beijing. Nothing else, she is used to living a luxurious life, and she will try any way to get money. When people in the clan get married, they have to get involved every time. Just to thank the matchmaker, each family has to collect one or two thousand guan, at least tens of thousands of guan in a year. They still feel that it is not enough, which shows that they are greedy for money How strong is my heart. My grandfather and mother left such a large amount of property, and Aye is so obsessed with that lady. If the other party asks for it, will Aye give it away? If there is such a day , how can I resist?!"

Princess Dou sighed.Of course she couldn't vouch for her stepson.In her heart, Li Dai, a bad boy, is capable of such stupid things.Didn't he almost let Xiao Yang cheat Chen's dowry away?As long as Mrs. Guo Guo promises to get him a good official position, not to mention Chen's dowry property, I'm afraid even the Sui Palace's property, he will be able to give it to him.

But for Li Lijun, a little girl, this is tantamount to a sudden disaster.

Concubine Dou thought for a while, and said: "Li Niang, Grandma really doesn't know that you have thought so much...Indeed, these things are likely to happen. But you forgot one thing - the prince and I are still here. Even if You, Aye, won't listen to me, and you won't even listen to the prince. The prince understands how important Zhao Chenji is, and he won't let irrelevant outsiders take away your property."

Li Lijun bowed his head and said: "Take a step back and say, Aye will not give away the property under my son's name, but after he marries his stepmother in the future, he says that his son is young and ignorant, and he wants him to hand over the property and property in his hand to his stepmother." Master, what should I do?"

Princess Dou pursed her lips.There's nothing she can do about it.She wasn't even sure that she could snatch the power, let alone the dowry of the deceased daughter-in-law?At most, she just tried to persuade Sui Wang a few words.But Li Lijun is indeed too young, so it is impossible to hand over such a large property to a child like her.Her natal family has no close relatives, and the other clan members are not of the same mind as her, so it is impossible to trust her property to her.It is not reliable to ask a few shopkeepers and servants to take care of it.In the end, either the heir king Li Dai will take care of it, or Li Dai will let his newly married stepmother take care of it. Maybe if he takes care of it, it will become someone else's property.

Li Lijun saw Princess Dou was silent, and said the last one: "Actually, money is something outside of the body. My son is reluctant because it is the painstaking efforts of my grandfather and mother for many years, and I don't want to see it fall into the hands of others. But my grandfather and mother I love my son the most. If my son can grow up safely, I will let go of those things outside of my body. I am afraid that someone will have evil intentions. In order to completely occupy this property, they will put my son to death... In the back house, everything can happen It might happen. It happened more than once when Xiao Yang was here. Who can guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen if it's someone else?"

She lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "I have offended the Yang family because I exposed Xiao Yang's crimes. No matter which daughter of the Yang family who marries Aye as the continuation, I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate her..."

Concubine Dou was very sad when she heard this.Everything the step-granddaughter worried about was well-founded, and she felt worried about the child when she heard it.No matter what the child does, it is a dead end.Li Niang is really pitiful for such a cruel and ruthless father like Li Dai!

She held Li Lijun's hand tightly: "My good boy, it's not...it's really not like this! Your property...Grandma is going to ask the prince for you, and ask the prince to send someone to take care of it for you, and I will never let others swallow it Go. When you, Aye, have decided on a successor, you will bring someone to live in Grandma's yard. Grandma will take care of you, and I will never let anyone kill you by secret means!"

Li Lijun held Princess Dou's hand instead: "Grandma, Aye won't allow my son to move here. If my son really moves to your courtyard, I'm afraid Aye won't be able to accommodate my son either!"

Concubine Dou was dumbfounded.Her eye circles were red.Could it be that she really can't help Li Niang? !
However, Li Lijun told her that she could actually help: "Grandma, if she has some sympathy for her son and is willing to help her get out of the predicament, please come forward with Ah Weng to protect Zhao Chenji so that it can continue to operate as usual. If Aye or the future stepmother intends to rob him, please also ask Ah Weng and Grandma to stand in the way. My son escaped from Chang'an City under the pretext of keeping his filial piety. Even if someone wants to harm him, it is not so easy to succeed. It's just that my son is still young. , without the permission of Ah Weng and Grandma, how could Aye let him go?"

Princess Dou sighed.She is not as opposed to Li Lijun moving out as before: "If there is no better way, even though Grandma is reluctant, she can only send you away. It's just that you live outside with a few servants, it may not be safer than living in the palace. If If someone really wants to kill you for the property in your hands, I'm afraid it will be more convenient to do things in the wild than in the palace!"

Li Lijun smiled: "Since it is for the property in my son's hands, I can also deal with it in advance. Grandma knows that in the past, when Grandma was here, [-]% of the income she received from Zhao Chenji every year would be used. Most of the expenses to subsidize the palace are spent on Ah Weng and Aye. My son plans to follow this example in the future and allocate [-]% of Zhao Chenji’s income every year, and ask Grandma to take charge of it. Whether it is Ah Weng or Aye, Or if anyone in the palace needs to spend, Grandma decides whether to spend and how much to spend. The money will be allocated directly from Zhao Chenji, even if someone kills my son, it can't change this matter."

She looked at Concubine Dou: "Grandma, would you like to be a shield for my son?"
