After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 344: Benefit first, then love

The family chatted casually and shared the new things they encountered.

Lin Xi remembered and said, "By the way, Li Xuelin has come to Peizhou to serve as governor."

Jiang Min asked: "Who is Li Xuelin?"

Lin Xi: "He is our biological grandfather."

Jiang Min has already married into the Lin family, so she naturally knows something about the Lin family.

When she said this, she immediately reacted, "Oh, it's our grandpa."

Lin Xi: "Chun Niang, do you want to recognize him?"

Lin Chunniang thought for a while, "Although we are blood descendants, we have never gotten along. He doesn't even know that we exist. If we come to visit him rashly, he may think that we are liars."

Erxi: "Xibao, can you tell us about the Li family?"

Lin Xi was too lazy to talk, so she gave Lin Wushang a look.

Lin Wushang acted as her substitute: "Let me tell you. Li Xuelin is the current head of the Li family. He has two sons and two daughters. The eldest son Li Wo is the governor of Danling County in Songzhou. Li Wo has a son named Li Xuanying. , now 19 years old. The youngest son, Li Mi, is your father.

"Not long ago, Li Xuelin was Zhongshu Ling and Right Chancellor, with a first-rank official position.

"But his younger brother Li Xueming intended to murder the queen. After the incident, the emperor ordered his body to be quartered. The men of Li Xueming's lineage were exiled to the army, and the female family members were expelled as palace slaves.

"Li Xuelin was implicated and demoted. He is now the governor of Peizhou."

Having said this, he paused, "The place where Li Xuelin was originally demoted was not Peizhou, he took the initiative to ask the emperor to come here.

"As far as I know, he found some information and suspected that his youngest son Li Mi, who ran away from home, was here, and wanted to come over to find Li Mi's whereabouts."

Thinking of their deceased father, the Lin family fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little sad.

Lin Xi: "You don't have to worry that Grandpa Li will disown you. He will come to you soon. Whether you will recognize him as your grandfather or not is up to you."

Yu Niang, who was petting Liu Ying, turned around and asked, "Xi Bao, why did Grandpa Li take the initiative to come here?"

Lin Xi: "Do you still remember the article published in Peizhou Daily a few days ago, about the decline of the Cheng family and the fact that they relied on selling books to survive?"

Sanfu: "Well, remember, if the Cheng family sells books to make a living, what does it have to do with Grandpa Li coming over?"

Lin Xi: "I bought back the books that the Cheng family sold, and when I was flipping through them, I found that there were a batch of annotations in the books, and the handwriting was exactly the same as my father's.

“I guessed that these books were probably written by my father.

"When I checked, it turned out that these books were given to the Cheng family by the Liu family. It was with these books that Liu Guangzong was able to learn reading from the Cheng family."

Lin Chunniang: "When the Liu family forcibly bought our house, they also took over my father's books. I went to ask for them. The Liu family said they had burned those rags as firewood. It turned out that they didn't have any Burn it.”

Although several years had passed since this incident, she gritted her teeth with hatred every time she thought about it.

Now that she knew that the book had not been burned and was returned to Xibao's hands, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Lin Xi continued: "I sent one of the books with my father's annotations to Grandpa Li. As long as he looks it up, he will know that we are his grandchildren.

"You can think about it now whether you want to recognize him or not."

Cui Niang asked: "Xibao, why did you do this?"

Lin Xi: "The Li family is from a first-class family. Do you know what a first-class family means?

"It means that there are tens of thousands of volumes of books in your home, countless antique calligraphy and paintings that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and the memories of your disciples are spread all over the world... These are all resources that can help you go higher and further. Don't waste them."

The Lin family looked at each other, thinking she was right, but feeling a little uncomfortable.

If they recognized Li Xuelin as their grandfather because of the Li family's resources, wouldn't it appear that they were cold and cold, not focusing on family ties but on interests?

Lin Xi easily saw their entanglement and chuckled.

"Love comes from friendship. You have never met him, so where does the love come from? Since there is no love, let's talk about interests and get what you deserve first.

"After we meet each other and recognize each other as relatives, we will naturally have feelings for each other. Besides, feelings and interests are not mutually exclusive."

She has never seen any kind of love in this world that is pure and unadulterated.

It's often the benefits that come first, and then the feelings.

Everyone present was thoughtful.

Under the same starry sky, the Governor's Mansion.

study.

Li Xuelin knelt down and sat behind the desk, with a book spread out on the desk. --"University".

There were many annotations made with red pen on the blank parts of the pages.

And the handwriting of the annotation was all too familiar to him.

This is exactly the handwriting of the youngest son Li Mi.

This handwriting was born out of his father's teachings, but it also had Bi'er's own style, making it a family of its own.

He ordered people to find out that the book leaked from the Cheng family.

The Cheng family is a ninth-grade family from Qingyuan County under the jurisdiction of Linjiang County.

Of course, that was a few years ago.

Today, the Cheng family has fallen into decline and is reduced to selling books to make ends meet.

Cheng family, where did you get this book?

Perhaps, if you find the source of this book, you can find Bi'er.

A few days later, Li Xuanying, who received the letter from her grandfather, rushed to Linjiang from Danling County, Songzhou.

Before he entered Linjiang City, he received a series of shocks.

"We are selling newspapers. It costs three cents a piece. Can you buy one, sir? Mr. Pu Songling has a new story."

"Dingling bells... give in, give in."

A man passed by Li Xuanying on a bicycle, causing a gust of hot air.

"Popsicles, delicious popsicles. They cost only a penny each. They quench your thirst and relieve the heat."

Li Xuanying sat on horseback and looked at the vendors selling goods at the city gate. He saw some people riding on two wheels and swooping far away, while others were riding on three wheels.

I feel as if I have strayed into another world.

Peizhou is indeed a prosperous place with many novel things.

Li Xuanying tried all kinds of delicious and fun things along the way, and also walked into Jinlin Pavilion on the way.

Then once he got there, he couldn't care less about Shu.

When he opened his eyes the next morning, Li Xuanying sat up like a carp.

Unfortunately, he agreed to arrive yesterday. Before entering the city, he even sent someone to report the news to his grandfather in advance.

As a result, as soon as I entered the city, I was fascinated by the colorful world.

He quickly packed up and rushed to the Governor's Mansion.

On the way, I kept thinking about what excuse I should find to get past him.

Unexpectedly, when he met his grandfather, his grandfather only glanced at him lightly and did not blame him.

"Here you come? Did the journey go well?"

Li Xuanying: "?"

Ah, that’s it?This is not in line with my grandfather's temperament.

He was ready to go from house to house.

But since grandfather was not held accountable, he was happy to escape this disaster.

Little did he know that Li Xuelin, the grandfather, was really shocked when he first came to Jiang.

In addition, he thought that it was because he was too strict with his youngest son that he ran away from home.

So when dealing with my grandson, I consciously indulged a little.

Li Xuanying replied and was taken to the study.

"I called you here this time because I have something to do for you. I don't trust it if I leave it to someone else."

Li Xuanying was a little flattered. Didn't expect that his grandfather valued him so much?

"As much as you order."
