Tsundere general's peasant wife

Chapter 387 The Real Background of the Li Family
Gong Yan stepped forward and bowed to salute.

"Gongyan has seen Madam! How is Madam recently!"

Mrs. Li looked at Gong Yan and then turned her gaze to her husband, not knowing who she was talking to.

"You don't need to be too polite! It's very good. Why didn't Mr. Xiang come here before saying that we can eat?"

Li Chengyi looked at his wife who looked the same as before, and his expression returned to calm:
"Well, because it was the order of the sage, the whole trip was a private visit, so I didn't tell you in advance, I had dinner at Master Fu's house, where is Jixuan?"

Mrs. Li's eyes drooped, and her voice became silent.

"Xuan'er has already returned to the barracks after receiving the urgent report!"

"Oh, if there's nothing else, I'll go to rest first! I'm a little tired from the journey!"

Seeing how busy Madam Guan was, she stepped forward anxiously and said to the general:

"The general has been tiring all day! It's time to take a rest earlier, let Madam massage and relax for you!"

Li Chengyi stared at his wife involuntarily with stared and silent eyes when he heard the words, and Mrs. Li also couldn't react and stared at Madam Guan in a daze.

"."

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Li Chengyi said to Nanny Guan with neither joy nor sadness:

"Let someone lead Gong Yan to rest! Where is Jixuan's study? I still have some things to attend to!" After speaking, the servant led the way away.

Madam Guan sighed and was powerless to the lonely madam.

When he entered the mansion in March, he heard it said in the concierge that Li Jixuan's father is here!Walking in a little nervously, thinking about how to greet, I heard the servants whispering in the back of the corridor:
"I looked at what the master and madam said, it was like"

Another little girl put the rag aside and said:
"Hey, the two of them looked speechless, not like a couple!"

"That's right! You see, the master slept in the young master's study the night before. This lady and the master have nothing to say, what's the difference between you and a stranger!"

Sanyue Qing coughed and walked out, seeing the maids and servants frightened and motionless, they chased them away:

"If you have the time to talk nonsense, it's better to finish the work earlier and go to rest earlier. This is the first time I've heard it. If Madam Guan hears it, you guys will look good!"

The little girls are busy begging for mercy and saying good things.

"Thank you Miss March! Thank you Miss March!"

"Let's go and go to work! Thank you, Miss Sanyue!"

The servants dispersed in a swarm, and Sanyue looked in the direction of Jixuan's study and meditated silently.

This is what someone said just after entering the mansion. It seems that what Jixuan said about his father and mother respecting each other like a guest is really not nonsense. Anyway, I can see him tomorrow morning, so let's go to bed early and get up early!Tired!
Nurse Guan deliberately got up early in the morning and told the kitchen room to prepare the general's favorite breakfast. After Li Chengyi finished playing a set of swords in the yard, he took the cloth towel from the servants to wipe off his sweat, and was ready to eat breakfast.

Mrs. Li waited for her husband to sit down at the dinner table before saying:

"Miss March is staying at home for a while, wait for her to come and have dinner! You haven't seen her yet!"

Li Chengyi looked at his wife's calm look and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Aren't you very opposed to the marriage between your son and Miss March?"

"There are no absolutes in the world! Xuan'er has identified her this time, so it's useless for me to object!"

The two were talking, when the maid outside called out:

"Master and Madam! Miss March is here!"

San Yueyi came in and was about to salute, but when he saw who the middle-aged man was, he let out a soft breath in surprise.

"...Uncle! So it's you!"

Mrs. Li looked at Sanyue, then looked at her husband with a smile, with an inexplicable expression: Already know each other?

"Do you know?"

Li Chengyi greeted Sanyue with a smile, and replied to his wife:

"En! I entered the town yesterday and met Miss Sanyue outside the town. This is also fate. Hahaha, Madam Guan, let someone serve breakfast! I'm hungry!"

Mrs. Li pursed her lips lightly and lowered her eyes, saying in a calm voice:

"Let's serve!"

"Yes!"

At the dinner table, Li Chengyi kept asking about the housing construction situation in March. Mrs. Li didn't say a word as if she didn't exist. Seeing that Nanny Guan was standing there calmly in March, she knew more or less about General Li and Li Madame get along mode.

In the afternoon, Li Jixuan received the news and rushed back from the barracks.

The father and son did not have the usual greetings between father and son, but went straight to the point!Into the study and never came out.

Li Jixuan didn't understand why the emperor asked his father to come down as an imperial envoy to investigate the people's sentiments. Li Chengyi said:

"You know that because of your aunt's matter, father has been avoiding suspicion in the court! Even after so many years of guarding in the border town for more than [-] years, he only changed the trust of the emperor!

Originally, Dad thought that after returning to the court in the capital, it would be fine not to participate!But you should also understand that because of your aunt and Second Highness, Dad can't really be neutral.
This drought is also an opportunity. The emperor received a secret report saying that someone took advantage of the famine to amass money and even caused riots in many places. It is not enough to let a civil servant who is powerless to be an imperial envoy be killed all the way!
What's more.. The emperor talked with me in secret and said that the prince was somehow involved in this incident. It is not good to let his people come forward. I am afraid that the riot will not be able to be controlled by then, and there will be suspicion of covering up! "

Li Jixuan pondered for a moment, frowned slightly and said:

"But there are plenty of truly neutral generals in the imperial court, but they chose you, the second prince's uncle, father."

Li Chengyi nodded approvingly and said:
"It seems that you haven't let go of your affairs in the border town, that's right! Now that the crown prince is in full bloom and the emperor is in his prime, how could he watch the little tiger grow up and replace himself!

It is inevitable that another cub will be raised together, so that they can compete in separate courts, so as to achieve the balance of the court!This is the emperor's art for the king! "

Li Jixuan sighed.

"Then my aunt, cousin, and our family are really going to be pushed to the top. Then why did my father avoid suspicion in the border town for so many years?"

Li Chengyi comforted his son.

"It's a matter of loyalty to the emperor! It's true that I went to the border town at the beginning to avoid suspicion, but after all these years in the border town, son, don't you have any nostalgia for that place?

Father has regarded it as his home all these years, and even after returning to the capital these few years, he still misses the battlefield and the people in the border town countless times! "

"Father, I understand! It's just that my cousin and the prince are officially in a fight."

Li Chengyi thought about the prince's pertinent evaluation:

"The prince is arrogant and conceited. Even if Jinyu doesn't compete with him for the throne, in my opinion in court these past few years, he is not the kind of person who would let Jinyu go!"

Li Jixuan thought of his cousin whom he hadn't seen for several years, and didn't know how he was doing now
