In the flower hall, Li Shan took out a riding whip from his sleeve and whispered: "Surviving this battle also defeated the Turks and drove away the barbarians. This whip was left by Jieli Khan and is given to my sister today."
Cui Shiniang was a little surprised. Li Shan had sent many gifts over the past year, including poems and treasures, but today he sent an ordinary riding whip.
"If there is no sister to pray for, it may be difficult to make meritorious deeds for the brother." Li Shan said with a smile.
However, Cui Shiniang suddenly raised her head and said: "Li Langjun's words are wrong. Without Langjun's bravery and his soldiers dying, how can we defeat the Turks? What does this have to do with praying for my little sister's blessing?"
"Hahaha, such words are not something that an ordinary woman can say!" Li Shanchang said with a smile: "I was born in Lingnan, drifting in the pass, every step of the way, fighting bloody battles for the rest of my life. Today I know that God has really treated me well."
"I am lucky enough to live a long life together and have many descendants."
Hearing "the house is full of descendants", Cui Shiniang lowered her head again, her neck flushed.
"Although now included in the clan, my sister still doesn't know her brother's life experience." Li Shan said while extending his hand.
Regarding Li Shan's life experience, the marriage certificate only had a surname and no given name. Cui Shiniang was indeed very curious. She raised her head and stared at Li Shan without noticing that this guy had touched her hand.
"Don't worry, uncle knows everything." Li Shan said as he started to use it. It was a little cold, but smooth and smooth, like a piece of fine Hetian jade. "On the wedding night, let's talk to my sister."
Li Shan thought to himself that he had finally fallen in love for the first time. In his previous life... the world was based on appearance. It was really disappointing. In this life, it was not about appearance, but about ability and character!
Alas, by this time Li Shan had completely forgotten Zhang Zhongjian, who had been unable to climb up for more than ten years because of his ugly appearance.
On the wedding night, she noticed that Li Shan was holding her hand. The ashamed Cui Shiniang was about to break away when a suppressed scolding came from outside.
"stop!"
Li Shan silently turned his head to look at Cui Xin, who was disturbing the situation. The father-in-law's expression was unwavering and his eyes were fixed on those two hands.
Cui Shiniang struggled to break away. Although her cheeks were raw, she still managed to stay calm and saluted, "Father is back."
Cui Xin walked into the flower hall angrily, staring at Li Shan with squinting eyes, thinking that he should be more careful in the future, as he almost had his house stolen if he wasn't careful.
"Uncle has been released from office?" Li Shan had nothing to say and laughed a few times, "I heard that Brother Daoxuan was looking for trouble with the censor today. Is nothing wrong?"
It's okay not to mention this, but Cui Xin became even more angry when he mentioned it, "King Huaiyang is so domineering, your majesty will definitely punish him severely!"
"ah?"
At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who knew the news, rushed over. After hearing this, she couldn't help complaining: "Huairen has been entrusted to the Duke of Xihe, but you have to ask Erlang of the Sun family to also write a letter of impeachment!"
"Sun Fujia?" Li Shan's mouth almost twisted, "Is nothing wrong?"
Sun Fujia is also from Qinghe, and Cui Xin should be the one pushing it... However, Sun Fujia and Li Shan are Jinshi in the same discipline, and they have a very good relationship. Now they are writing a letter of impeachment... No wonder Li Daoxuan is looking for trouble.
Cui Xin said a few words with an ugly face, "Okay, Li Daoxuan gave Sun Fuga a punch. It was not a real punch, but he knocked off his official hat."
"My nephew will go to apologize tomorrow." Li Shan said cautiously: "Take Brother Daoxuan with you?"
Cui Xin remained silent, while Zhang nodded in agreement, "The Sun family, Cui family, and Zhang family are all family friends. Now we are ministers in the same palace, so we can support each other."
Li Shan repeatedly said yes, and Sun Fu was indeed someone he could make friends with. He was a recognized neutral... Neutrality and fence-sitting were completely different concepts.
Sun Fu is now the censor Zhongcheng, and all the subordinate officials of the East Palace, King Qin, and King Qi have been impeached by him.
Cui Xin sat down depressedly, "Why are you here if you come to the door rashly?"
Before Li Shan could reply, Cui Xin glanced at the riding crop in his daughter's hand and sneered twice.
Mrs. Zhang held her daughter's shoulders and asked a few questions, raising her brows, "It turns out that it was taken from Jieli Khan. It can be passed down to future generations, which is enough to boast of."
Cui Xin's chest tightened after reading his wife's words, and he turned to glare at Li Shan. Thinking about this boy holding his daughter's hand made him angry, "What's the matter with you today!"
This was a tough question... Li Shan had a sweet face, but he was cursing in his belly, "You Cui Xin, you don't dare to offend your wife and daughter, so you take it out on your son-in-law, you think I'm your heretic son-in-law!"
"In two days, the craftsmen are going to start making the furniture for Yanshoufang House. I came here today to ask my sister what kind of style she likes." Li Shan said with a smile: "I heard that my sister is good at painting, why don't you paint a few?"
"This is business." Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter, "The eleventh mother will also use it in the future, so I can draw a few more pictures and make a list."
Cui Xin was choked by the words again and said bitterly: "You went to Princess Pingyang's Mansion yesterday and heard that new clothes were given to you?"
This is nitpicking... Li Shan pursed his lips, "It's stuffed with cotton. It's used to keep out the cold weather. However, the style isn't very pretty, but it can be made into a bedding. It will be delivered in a few days."
Madam Zhang curiously asked a few more questions, looked at the sun outside, and ordered the servants to prepare the meal... Cui Xin didn't want to leave the meal, but it was a pity that the old man and the young wife could not afford to offend.
Seeing that her husband was still sullen, Mrs. Zhang leaned over and whispered, "I don't know who was waiting in the temple that day!"
The corner of Cui Xin's mouth twitched. He is a person who loves beauty and hates it. To put it bluntly, he is a Yan party. He met Zhang when he went to the temple to pray for blessings... Later, after the engagement and before getting married, he often met Zhang by chance in the temple.
But during dinner, Mrs. Zhang and Cui Shiniang were in the backyard, Cui Xin and Li Shan were in a side room in the front yard, and Weng and his son-in-law had a few drinks.
Cui Xin doesn't speak much. In the past two years, he has gotten to know his son-in-law well enough. He has too many thoughts and too many secrets. If he is willing to tell, he can tell without asking himself. If he refuses to tell... he is a bastard. He might even lead himself into a pit.
It was rare for Li Shan to speak frequently, but it was a little less respectful and a little more affectionate... After all, he is the father-in-law in the future. As for when to ask for an appointment and when to get married, the mother-in-law can make the decision.
"Cotton armor?" Cui Xin was a little surprised, "It's so soft, how can you make armor?"
"Wet it with water, hit it with a mallet, and then dry it in the sun. There are iron pieces sandwiched between two or three layers." Li Shan explained: "It has been tested and it is difficult to block the horse's shaft, but it is difficult for the bow and crossbow to penetrate."
Cui Xin nodded and said, "Is that why you chose Sinong Qing?"
"My father-in-law is wise."
Cui Xin thought for a while and whispered: "Pay attention to Zhao Yuankai."
Li Shan was speechless. Li Shimin, Princess Pingyang, Ling Jing, Li Keshi and Cui Xin all told themselves to pay attention to Zhao Yuankai. How annoying this person is!
