Sunset.
The bright moon rises.
In the room, the lights danced.
Li Youwei sat at the table and looked at the account book carefully.
Outside the room, on the stone steps, Bai Wangyu sat there quietly, looking at the moonlight in the sky.
"Go back and rest. You don't have to keep watch."
In the room, Li Youwei spoke and said, "Brother Huang Quan and Tian Zhique are both here. They are both professionals in this field. Everything will be fine."
"I'm not sleepy yet."
On the stone steps, Bai Wangyu said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I calmed down and looked at the night. It's just a good time to sit down for a while."
"You are the future helmsman of the Confucian sect. Your responsibilities are much heavier than those of ordinary people. Of course you will be busier."
At the table, Li Youwei said calmly, "Looking at the night, leisure time like this will only become less and less common in the future."
"That's why we have to cherish the time we have now."
Bai Wangyu smiled softly and said, "Since I met Miss Li, Miss Li seems to have been busy and never has time to rest."
"It's my duty."
Li Youwei put aside the account book she had read, then picked up another one and said, "The Li family does not raise idle people. You should know this rule."
"Did Brother Li decide it?" Bai Wangyu asked curiously.
"Um."
Li Youwei nodded and responded, "No matter your status, as long as you are in the Li family, you must do something. Even if you just plant some flowers and plants, you cannot be idle. No one works and no one reaps. No one is exception. The Li family has been able to reach this day." It’s because there is no idle person in the Li family.”
"Brother Li, you are truly a genius."
Bai Wangyu lamented that the rise of the Li family was not accidental. The Li family was so efficient in doing things. He had seen this more than once.
"There are no geniuses in the Li family, but they are all geniuses."
Li Youwei said calmly, "Everyone has limited energy and their own strengths. As long as you do well what you are good at, it is enough. In the future, you will become the helmsman of the Confucian Sect. This will come in handy."
"Industry specializing in surgery?"
Bai Wangyu smiled and said, "Brother Li told me."
"Yes, in fact, the Confucian sect has more talents than my Li family."
Li Youwei looked at the account book and said, "The foundation of the thousand-year-old Confucian sect is not comparable to that of my Li family. The Confucian sect has a Confucian leader who is respected by the world and has many talents. Even the royal family of the Great Shang Dynasty does not dare to act rashly. In comparison, we Although the Li family looks strong, its foundation is still very shallow. Every step it takes is like walking on thin ice, but they dare not not leave. Look at everyone in the Li family, including my adoptive father, who dares to stop for a moment."
At this point, Li Youwei took up a pen and checked an account in the account book, and continued, "I am in Nanling, my adoptive father is in Yuzhou, my younger brother is traveling around, and his second brother has not been home for a long time. The huge Li Yuan is only supported by Huanzhu, who just joined the Li family. This is the current situation of the Li family. It is far from as glorious as it seems on the surface. Therefore, since the Confucian leader has left you such a strong Confucian sect, Just cherish it and try to make it better.”
outside the room.
After hearing what the former said, Bai Wangyu looked thoughtful. After a long moment, he nodded slightly and said, "I have remembered Miss Li's teachings."
"It's not about teaching, it's just about expressing your feelings."
Li Youwei put down the pen in her hand and said, "Do you know what I think about our marriage?"
Bai Wangyu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"At that time, my younger brother asked me many times, for fear that I would regret it. He didn't want me to become a victim of marriage."
Li Youwei said calmly, "However, I don't regret it, and I'm very glad that at least I chose someone I like."
Bai Wangyu was startled and smiled bitterly.
Should he feel happy or unhappy?
"There is not so much love at first sight in this world. If I don't believe it, I don't believe it either."
Li Youwei got up, walked outside, sat down on the steps, and said, "Do you think it's normal that after meeting her two or three times, I won't marry you, or I won't marry you unless I marry you?"
"unusual."
Bai Wangyu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "That should be just impulse."
"Yes, after a long time, calm down. If you don't regret it, it's the so-called love at first sight. If you regret it, it's because you were blind at first. However, I think more people will regret it. After all, people do things when they are impulsive. Most of our decisions are wrong.”
Li Youwei looked at the night sky and said softly, "If you and I were born in ordinary wealthy families, we might be able to choose again and again to pursue those things of love and love. Unfortunately, neither you nor I have the opportunity to choose." , once, or twice, so if it is pleasing to the eye and not annoying, it is actually quite good. If I don’t choose you this time, I don’t know what I will encounter next time. The same goes for you. If you don’t choose me this time, The one you choose next time may not be as good as me."
Bai Wangyu listened to the words of the woman in front of him, looked at her calm and peaceful face, and was stunned.
No wonder Brother Li said that no one in this world is worthy of his eldest sister.
The Li family is young and really beyond the reach of ordinary women.
"Brother Li, will this be the case in the future?"
After a while, Bai Wangyu came back to his senses and asked.
"My younger brother has fewer opportunities to choose."
Li Youwei sighed softly, "If he is not in charge of the Li family, he will just be an ordinary dandy disciple who can marry any woman in the world. However, if he wants to take over the position of the head of the Li family, for the sake of the Li family, there are many opportunities available to him. , there are only a handful of them.”
"I thought Brother Li could be an exception." Bai Wangyu said softly.
“It’s not a matter of exceptions.”
Li Youwei said calmly, "No one will force him to marry, just like they didn't force me. However, for the sake of the Li family, if I have to, my younger brother will probably choose the same path as me. I just don't know if my younger brother will do the same." I'm just as lucky."
"Brother Li is the son of destiny, and he will definitely get what he wants." Bai Wangyu said with great certainty.
"I hope so."
Li Youwei came back to her senses, looked at the man in front of her, and said, "I hope you won't regret your choice."
"No regrets."
Bai Wangyu shook his head slightly and said seriously, "I know my choice very well, and I am very happy about my choice."
"That's good."
Li Youwei stood up and said, "Go back and rest. Come with me to the Xuanwu Sect tomorrow. The master of the Xuanwu Sect should have something to ask of my Li family. Otherwise, he would not have given up so many benefits so generously."
"good."
Bai Wangyu also stood up and nodded in response.
After a brief heart-to-heart talk, the two of them went back to their rooms without further conversation.
Daybreak.
Li Youwei took a carriage and rushed towards the Xuanwu Sect in the inner city.
Bai Wangyu still followed, not getting on the carriage, only remaining polite and not crossing the line.
Ordinary and peaceful, the years are quiet and good.
Inside and outside the city.
Wang Teng is already waiting. Dressed in an ink-colored robe and matching his unique temperament, he looks as awkward as possible.
Not long after, the carriage stopped and Li Youwei got out.
"Sister Li, Mr. Bai."
Wang Teng immediately stepped forward and saluted politely.
"Son."
Li Youwei and Bai Wangyu returned the greeting, and immediately followed Holy Son Xuanwu into the city within the city.
at the same time.
Dashang Palace, Shouan Hall.
Queen Changsun came and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty."
"Queen, how have you considered the things I asked you to consider?"
Emperor Shang looked at his wife in front of him and said calmly.
Empress Changsun hesitated for a moment and said tactfully, "Your Majesty, I heard that Li Jiaoxi has a sweetheart, the saint of the Suzaku Sect, Huo Lin'er. It would be a bit wrong for Murong to recruit him as his consort."
"Saint Suzaku is dead."
Emperor Shang said calmly, "Besides, marriage matters have always been decided by the parents and the matchmaker. It is not the turn of younger generations like them to make the decision."
"Your Majesty, could you allow me to consider this again?"
Queen Changsun saw His Majesty's firm attitude in front of her and said softly, "This is not a trivial matter after all."
"Can."
Emperor Shang did not press too hard and reminded, "The queen should think carefully about the marriage between the fourth child and the daughter of King Donglin. After thinking about it, she will give me an answer as soon as possible."
"My concubine knows."
Queen Changsun nodded in response.
Half a day later.
Li Garden, Buyihou Mansion.
The contents of the conversation between the Shang Emperor and the Queen were sent one after another.
The main hall of the Hou Mansion.
Li Ziye turned the stainless steel fan in his hand, a look of concentration flashed in his eyes.
This is not the first time that Shang Huang has mentioned this matter. It can be seen that his attitude is very firm and it is difficult to shake.
Trouble.
We must find a way to break this situation.
