Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 203 Brotherly Love

"Sir, Jimin will have to lie down after drinking like this for a while." Yu Leting said worriedly.

Yuan Keli took a sip of tea, waved his hands and said, "Let him drink it, it's rare for him to be happy today. Alas! Do you know? I have been here for five years in Jimin, and I have never seen him so excited. After a year, I will get a cup of tea." In Xiezhou, his strategic vision has been fully realized, and he will be able to flex his muscles immediately, do you think he can be unhappy?"

"Sir, the student has a question. I don't know whether to ask it or not?" Yu Leting said.

"Ask, since you agreed to help Jimin, then we are a family. If you have any questions, feel free to ask." Yuan Keli said.

Yu Leting sighed, and said in his heart: "I promise to do things for Li Jing, we are considered a family!"

With a wry smile, Yu Leting said: "Sir, these people are obviously officials of the imperial court, why do you say this is Jimin's territory?"

Yuan Keli laughed and said: "Because what Jimin is going to do is different from the rules of the imperial court, you will know if you get to know them better."

Speaking of which, Yuan Keli pointed to Zhou Hengchen, Yang Liufeng and Fang Fang.

Yu Leting looked at Zhou Hengchen and the three of them, then nodded silently.

"Junyang, you will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility when you come out to help the people. This official inspection must be done well."

Yuan Keli said, looked at Yuan Shu and said: "And you, Bo Ying, you must work hard in the household department and learn how to handle affairs. You are my son, and Jimin will definitely use you in the future."

Yuan Shu and Yu Leting agreed in unison.

Yuan Keli waved his hands and said: "I'm tired, go back and rest for a while, you two will accompany them well, they like to drink, so let them make trouble."

Yuan Shu nodded hastily.

Yuan Keli raised his glass and got up and said: "Jimin, you and your brothers drink slowly. I am old, so I won't toss with you. Hehe, I'll go back and take a nap, you guys have fun."

After all, he raised his glass and drank it down, and Li Jing and others followed suit.

Putting down his wine glass, Li Jing stood up unsteadily and said, "Sir, I'll help you go back to rest."

Yuan Keli pushed Li Jing to sit on the chair, lightly patted Li Jing's shoulder and said with a smile: "You were the one who respected me in the past, but now you don't need one, you can drink with peace of mind."

Li Dingguo hurriedly got up and said, "Father, I will help grandpa go back to the house."

Li Jing smiled wryly and said, "That's okay, you should do your filial piety on behalf of your father, and be careful not to let grandpa stumble."

Li Dingguo hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry."

After speaking, he hurriedly withdrew the chair, came to Yuan Keli's side, and held Yuan Keli's arm.

After Yuan Keli left, Yuan Shu thought for a while, picked up the wine glass and said, "Jimin, I have troubled you a lot when my father has been with you these past few years. I would like to toast you for my brother's lack of talent."

Li Jing filled up the wine, clinked the glass with Yuan Shu, drank it all in one gulp, and then said with a smile: "Brother Boying, you are being polite, sir is like a father, we are juniors, we should do our best to respect the elderly What's more, sir left home because of me, if I can't take care of his old man, then I'm still human!"

When Yuan Shu heard the words, he raised his glass and drank it down.

Without Yuan Keli present, the voices of all the people present also became louder, especially Hutou, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help it anymore, and yelled at Ma Wu and Gao Qi to fight for wine.

It would be honest to be hit by Ma Wu and Gao Qi alone.

Yuan Keli was helped back to the bedroom by Li Dingguo. When passing by the side hall, he happened to see his wife drinking tea and chatting with Shen Ying and others.

After thinking about it, Yuan Keli waved to Shen Ying.

When Shen Ying saw her, she walked over quickly and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

Yuan Keli waved to his wife again, and then said to everyone: "Sit down, I have something to say to my wife."

Mrs. Yuan said to everyone present: "Sit down for a while, and come when you are old."

Two servant girls beside Mrs. Yuan hurriedly helped Mrs. Yuan follow Yuan Keli to the back room.

After arriving in the back room and sending Li Dingguo back, Yuan Keli said to Shen Ying: "Yingying, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Shen Ying hurriedly said, "Sir, please tell me."

Yuan Keli nodded, motioned Shen Ying to sit down, pondered for a while and said: "Yingying, if the old man says something wrong, don't blame me."

Shen Ying laughed and said, "What did you say sir, you are an elder, even if you say something wrong, it's fine."

Yuan Keli waved his hand, sighed and said, "Yingying, you have always been virtuous, I know that, but after all, you have a lot of work to do, sometimes it is inevitable that you can't take care of Jimin, but there is always someone around Jimin." Personal care of daily life, do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Ying heard about Mo Ran, and knew that Yuan Keli was discussing with her about taking a concubine for Li Jing.

Even though Shen Ying is virtuous, she doesn't want her husband to find a concubine.

But Shen Ying also knew that if Li Jing really wanted to take a concubine, she couldn't really object. Yuan Keli already respected her very much when he mentioned this matter to her.

Shen Ying was silent for a while, then said softly: "Sir, has my husband taken a fancy to any girl? If she is good, then I will arrange someone to propose marriage."

Yuan Keli shook his head and said: "Yingying, Jimin didn't take a fancy to anyone's girl. In fact, the person I'm talking about is your good friend Princess Minde. She is about the same age as you. Are you going to let her go? Live with you for the rest of your life?"

"Sir, I proposed a few relatives to sister Huiyu, but she doesn't even like it!" Shen Ying said hastily.

"You don't know what she's thinking?" Yuan Keli asked immediately.

Shen Ying was silent again upon hearing this.

How could she not know what Zhu Huiling was thinking?But no matter how generous Shen Ying is, she is absolutely unwilling to share her husband with her good sister.

What's more, what is Zhu Huiyu's identity?How can I be a concubine for Li Jing?
And what Shen Ying is most worried about is that if Zhu Huiyu agrees to be a concubine, once she enters the Li family, it will threaten Shen Ying's status. Lord's.

Although the mistress can decide whether the concubine will live or die, it also depends on who the target is, the target is the princess, how dare she act rashly.How could Shen Ying not consider the serious relationship involved in letting Zhu Huiyu get started?

Therefore, even though Shen Ying and Zhu Huitong were good sisters, she clearly knew Zhu Huiyu's intentions, but Shen Ying would never want Zhu Huiyu to be Li Jing's concubine.

But now that Yuan Keli spoke, Shen Ying had to think carefully, especially Yuan Keli's sentence: Are you going to let her live like this by your side for the rest of her life?It really touched Shen Ying a lot.

Zhu Huiyi has lived in the Li family for many years, and she is with Shen Ying all day long. In the eyes of those who don't know, Zhu Huiyi is Li Jing's concubine. Li Jing has nothing to do with it.

And as Li Jing became more and more majestic, even if Zhu Huiyu wanted to marry, someone had to dare to marry. It can be said that Zhu Huiyu's life was basically like this.

Thinking of this, Shen Ying said: "Sir, since you always make the decision, then do as you always want."

Yuan Keli nodded with a smile and said: "Yingying, we have lived together for many years, you have taken good care of this old man, and there is nothing this old man can do to help you. I intend to accept you as a foster daughter, are you willing?"

Shen Ying was stunned, and then she was overjoyed. If she became Yuan Keli's daughter, no matter who wanted to compare her background with her, it would be difficult for anyone. It seems that Yuan Keli also realized where the problem was, and solved her biggest problem lightly and skillfully.

Shen Ying knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and said: "My daughter pays homage to Father."

Then he turned to Mrs. Yuan, kowtowed three times and said, "My lord, mother."

"Good boy, please get up quickly." Yuan Keli said with a smile, twirling his beard.

When Shen Ying got up, Yuan Keli continued: "You know a thing or two about the princess's family affairs. She has no one to rely on, and we can't wrong her. Since you are sisters, I want to take her as a righteous daughter. You see How are you?"

"It's all up to father to make the decision." Shen Ying said hastily.

Yuan Keli smiled and said: "Then you go back and tell the princess that after I accept her as a righteous daughter, you can come and hire her."

Shen Ying nodded hastily.

Yuan Keli waved his hands and said, "I'm a little tired, you can go chat with your mother and your sisters."

Shen Ying nodded, and helped Madam Yuan back to the side hall.

……

After Yuan Keli left, Li Jing and others drank to their heart's content. Li Jing had already drunk too much, but under the repeated bombardment by Ma Wu, Gao Qi and others, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep lying on the wine table.

Seeing that Li Jing was asleep, Gao Qi sighed and said, "Brother is too tired these days, let him have a good rest. Fifth brother, let's help elder brother go back."

Ma Wu looked at everyone present, shook his head and said, "Old Gao, you can continue with everyone, and I will carry eldest brother back by myself."

Gao Qi nodded slightly, helped Li Jing to Ma Wu's back, put his cloak on Li Jing, and said, "Fifth Brother, be careful."

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I promise I won't fall brother, you sit down first, I'll be back in a while."

When Hutou saw it, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Wu, let me recite it."

Gao Qi waved his hand and said, "Sit down, I know what your fifth uncle is thinking, let him recite it by himself."

Seeing that the tiger's head was unclear, Gao Qi sighed: "Your father and your fifth uncle are friends by fate. If it weren't for your father, what would your fifth uncle be like now? Your fifth uncle has been outside all these years, with your father. It's a rare meeting, your father is drunk, he wants to try his best to be a brother, you don't understand this kind of feeling."

"Uncle Gao, what about you? You were going to help my father back with Uncle Wu just now, did you also want to do your best?" Hutou asked.

Gao Qi sighed and said: "Hutou, your father and I have been used by the eldest brother since we joined the elder brother. Your father is now the commander of Zhangdewei, and I can be regarded as the most capable person under the elder brother's command. .Think about how your father and I, He De, are able to achieve the position we are in today? Thank you for knowing each other! Alas! If Big Brother Sun is here today, it will not be your Fifth Uncle's job."

Zhou Hengchen and others knew that Sun Hutou was Li Jing's adopted son, but they never expected that Sun Hutou's biological father was the commander of Zhangdewei.
