Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 36 Promise
Li Jianrang very solemnly replaced his younger sister Li Chujun and apologized to his younger sister Li Lijun.

Li Chujun's words and deeds are indeed inappropriate, too rude, and also suspected of being ungrateful.But this is because she was deceived and deceived by others, and misunderstood the behavior of her stepmother Chen and younger sister Li Lijun, so she made such a big mistake.She's not an unreasonable bad kid at heart.

Li Jianrang hoped that his sister would recognize the facts, and believed that she would wake up sooner or later.They and Li Lijun are siblings born of the same father, and they both lost their mothers. It can be said that they share the same disease and love each other. In the future, they should support each other, respect and love each other.

Li Lijun was noncommittal to Li Jianrang's statement.Although she accepted the brother's apology, she also said bluntly: "Eldest sister will not believe what my brother said so easily. She still believes that Mrs. Yang is the most reliable relative. If my brother wants to convince her, I am afraid that there is a long way to go. If the elder brother has really made up his mind, it is better to check whether the people around her are still loyal. If the eldest sister has a loyal servant with a clear eye and a bright heart who can advise, she will not always be fooled easily Otherwise, even if Eldest Sister believes Brother's words for a while, she will forget your words again when the people around her start slandering her."

Li Jianrang took it for granted.He was secretly annoyed that he had never thought of this!In the future, he will have to discuss it with his grandfather King Sui and his grandmother Mrs. Yang.Many of the people serving my younger sister, Li Chujun, are veterans who have been around for many years. If there is a sudden change, I am afraid that my younger sister will feel very uncomfortable in life.In this regard, he has no choice but to ask the elders for help.

Li Jianrang's attendants walked into the mourning hall lightly and called him: "Da Lang, some distinguished guests have come to offer incense. The King Si wants you to meet them."

Li Jianrang nodded, turned back and said to Li Lijun: "Fourth sister, you are still injured, you need to rest more, don't stay in the mourning hall for too long. There is a brother here. I have already told Ah Weng that the heir is the princess. I will be the one to take care of the future affairs, and what should be done by a filial son. A Weng agreed, and Aye... didn't object."

Li Lijun was really surprised this time: "Brother, are you serious?!" Li Jianrang is the eldest son of his first wife, so he is willing to throw a basin to his stepmother?When Lian's heir Wang Yuan concubine Dayang died, because Li Jianrang was young and sick, King Sui refused to make him suffer, and entrusted the work of being a filial son to a grandson of his elder brother, King Ning, to do it for him.Li Lijun thought that his father Li Dai would let Silang Li Wenliang from Xiao Yang's family be a filial son of the Chen family, but he still felt a little disgusted in his heart, so he planned to find a way to persuade Princess Dou to borrow one of the second uncle's two sons to come forward. Unexpectedly, Li Jianrang would recommend himself.

If Li Jianrang can take on the heavy responsibility of a filial son, Li Lijun will naturally be happy in his heart.It's not because he is the eldest son and his status is noble enough, but because he can distinguish right from wrong and know how to be grateful.With what he just said to him, Li Lijun believed that his mother, Mrs. Chen, would also like to have such a son.

But she still had some worries in her heart: "Ah Weng agreed? Is Aye willing too? Do Mrs. Yang and her sons know about brother's plan?"

Li Jian was silent for a while: "A Weng agreed, and Aye did not object. My grandmother was worried that my body would not be able to hold on, and thought it would be good for my fourth brother to come forward. I think... Princess Si saved my life. In terms of etiquette, In terms of reason, I should reciprocate one or two. After my grandmother heard it, she no longer objected."

Li Lijun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's very kind of brother to show up, and I thank you here. Logically, brother should also show his face in front of people from time to time, let the world know that you are the eldest son of Aye, and you are knowledgeable and educated." Ceremony, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness are among the children of the clan. Otherwise, you will always recuperate at home, and outsiders will say that you are weak and unbearable when they mention you. If a saint wants to use the heir of the Sui Palace someday, who will Will you bring up your brother?"

Li Jianrang heard that there was something in her words, and took a deep look at her.The attendant was already urging him, so he didn't say anything more, just left a sentence: "Fourth sister is good to rest, I will see you when I have time for brother." Then he turned and left.

Li Lijun watched his figure disappear outside the gate of the mourning hall, then looked away and knelt quietly.

Li Huijun came over again.Just now she obediently took two steps back to watch the play, but she really cried out in her heart to open her eyes.She never expected that Li Chujun's willful temper would dare to explode in today's situation, let alone that Li Jianrang and Li Chujun, the direct siblings, would quarrel.After listening to the conversation between Li Jianrang and Li Lijun, she seemed to have guessed some secrets.

She couldn't hold back any longer, and seeing that there was no one else around, she came up and asked Li Lijun: "Fourth sister, what you said to the eldest sister just now... Do you mean Mrs. Yang has bad intentions for them? You are so courageous! How dare you say that?" Really dare to speak out. Are you not afraid that your elder sister will sue your elder uncle?" Li Lijun had suffered this kind of loss many times when she was a child, so she never refuted Li Chujun in recent years, and she held back her anger no matter how much she scolded. , couldn't bear it, turned around and left.Li Huijun couldn't see it several times, but she didn't expect that the fourth sister still had a temper.

Li Lijun smiled and said: "Even if the eldest sister complains to Aye, it is hard to say whether Aye will scold me for it. Mrs. Yang turned black and white in front of the eldest sister, and Aye must admit it. Such an obvious lie, After hearing this, Aye only felt that Mrs. Yang was troublesome. He wanted to cover up for his concubine, but his concubine refused to appreciate her, and even made troubles for him. Do you think he will be angry?"

Li Huijun blinked: "Fourth sister, I haven't seen you for a day, you have changed a lot, you never said such things before."

Li Lijun sneered: "What good is it for me to be a good and obedient little lady? I thought that my sister who was close to me would scold my own mother and push me down the mountain to kill me. I finally came back alive, my dear." But my father is partial to my enemy and refuses to make decisions for me. If I remain as weak and tolerant as before, I will lose my life. I want to live, so what's the big deal if I change my temper?!"

Li Huijun listened silently, and sighed: "You are right."

She looked in the direction of the wing room: "I don't understand, what kind of stepmother does eldest sister want? What's wrong with stepmothers like my grandma and your grandma? They won't harm her, and treat her well." Kind, never lacking her anything, but she is not satisfied in her heart, wishing they would die! I have never had a mother since I was a child, and many people advised my father to remarry as soon as possible. If he marries back like grandma and uncle Such a virtuous stepmother, I am also willing to respect her. My father needs someone to take care of, not only food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also other things that Mrs. Wu and her maids can't do..."

Li Lijun said softly: "I heard that the princess intends to marry the daughter of Lord Lin's family for my third uncle. Mrs. Lin Guogong came to our palace yesterday. I don't know what kind of lady the Lin family is. Second sister might as well ask the princess in private Inquire about?"

"Really?" Li Huijun immediately sat up straight, "I only heard that...the Lin family intends to marry their daughter to our palace, but I thought it was the eldest uncle!"

Li Lijun shook his head: "My mother has only been dead for a few days. Duke Lin's mansion is a respectable family. How could he come to discuss marriage at this time? Besides, the princess will never interfere with my Aye's marriage. She will care, of course the three Uncle's marriage."

Li Huijun couldn't sit still: "Then I'll ask?" He stood up and walked directly outside the mourning hall.

Li Lijun secretly heaved a sigh of relief.After coming to the mourning hall for so long, she finally had time to be alone again.
