Yu Anan remained silent.
Although she had long expected that with the current power and status of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, she would naturally look down on the daughter of their Yu family, but being told this face to face still made people feel a little embarrassed.
However, Li Suining, Mr. Li is now willing to tell her frankly to expose the illusion, which is actually not a bad thing for An An.
After all, it was much better than those people who wore masks to meet people sooner or later and pretended to be false to try to deceive her.
Li Suining's gentle and jade-like mask of a noble man suddenly cracked. He smiled sarcastically and said lightly:
"Ever since Li entered the Mahayana realm at a young age, my father, despite his pride, began to think that I was a rare commodity and that I might be able to become the leader of the Li family's resurgence... What do you think of the Li family's family background?
It's not too low to say it's low, but if it's to be said to be high, it seems that the foundation among Tianchen's top families is still shallow, and it has no foothold - not to mention, there has never been a member of the Li family's genealogy for hundreds of years. Experts above the Saint King realm. "
Xie Zhao glanced at him quietly and suddenly said: "You can enter the realm of Mahayana at a young age. If you inherit your father's legacy and join the army, with your martial arts cultivation, you will be at least a sixth-grade knight general after entering the camp. His achievements will definitely not be inferior to Master Li. So why..."
She didn't have the nerve to finish the rest of the sentence.
——Why should he... use nepotism and marriage to promote the Li family's family status?
Li Suining was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Miss Xie didn't know something. I once thought that if I joined the army with my martial arts skills, I would be able to make a difference one day, but my father awakened my wishful thinking.
My father was right, the only way for those who serve in the army to gain merit is on the battlefield. Which of the top generals in the imperial court today did not earn their fame and success through battlefield killings and hard work in the past?
But now, the Northern and Southern Dynasties have had a truce for many years. Although it is only a peaceful stalemate on the surface, at least on the surface they are no longer fighting. How easy is it for a young military general to achieve success?
In this case, it is better to enter the court as an official first and start as a civil servant - Xie Lin, who came to Zhuzhu Kingdom in the past, was a generation of Confucian generals with high moral standards. "
Ling or frowned.
He said, "In this case, the eldest son is actually no worse than the ordinary noble sons in both literature and martial arts. Why does Mr. Li still have to work hard on the eldest son's marriage?"
Li Suining smiled faintly. He looked at the ornamental birds in exquisite birdcages under the trees in the garden with a sense of sadness, and then said in a daze:
"Ordinary promotions in the officialdom are naturally much slower, and it may take many years. If you can be successful in marriage, you will definitely have fewer detours than other noble children, so why not do it?"
He came back to his senses, looked at the silent Yu Anan, and said frankly: "I am still the caged bird. Fortunately, the girl has now entered the world and is at ease. In fact, I am not afraid to tell the girl. In the past, my father The engagement with Yu Shishu was not entirely due to drunkenness.
Yu Shishu was a popular general Pingwei at that time. He had been taught by General Xu, a second-rank martial arts general on Laojun Mountain. He had his own network of contacts in the army, and also had close contacts with the 'Shaoguang Mace Immortal' and the future Laojunshan Zhang. We are all considered to be half of the same family.
The Ning family in Yongzhou is well known all over the world. Mrs. Ning is a figure like Mount Tai and Beidou in the literary world, and his disciples have old friends all over the government and the public.
Therefore, it is not difficult to guess what my father was thinking back then. If I could become a good couple with my adopted sister, then no matter whether I pursue a career in literature or martial arts when I grow up, I would have a wife and family to help me.
——At that time, the Yu family was indeed the best choice for the Li family. However... the situation changed unexpectedly, Yu Shishu died young, and his aunt returned home carrying the coffin.
Although a few pieces of news later came to Zhaoge, saying that Aunt Yu had given birth to a daughter for Uncle Yu Shi in Pingzhou, by that time my father had already had other thoughts. "
Li Suining exposed the Li family's little thoughts to the public so openly, but it made Han Changsheng, who wanted to vent his anger on Yu An'an's mother-in-law, a little confused as to how to answer the question.
...It won’t be possible for them to deal with it.
It has to be said that although Li Suhe does one thing in front of others and is a complete snobbery behind the scenes, Li Suining is not completely without merit - at least in terms of his mind, he can be called magnanimous.
He knew his father's thoughts, and he could not escape his fate as the eldest son of the Li family to devote himself to the family, but he chose to tell the truth to Miss Yu - not necessarily right or wrong, but it also showed magnanimity.
Xie Zhao looked at him with a half-smile:
"If your father has such thoughts, then the eldest princess Pingyang is a good choice for the Li family - the eldest princess Pingyang is the beloved daughter of Concubine Bai Tai and the emperor's sister.
Her elder sister, Princess Taiping, is now the wife of Bai Rusong, the eldest grandson of the Bai family and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Isn't this status noble enough? Could it be that Mr. Li started to feel sorry for his son again, so he couldn't let him go? "
When Li Suining heard the name of Princess Pingyang, a flash of disgust flashed through his eyes.
He immediately said coldly: "Although the eldest princess Pingyang has a noble status, she is mean and domineering and behaves dissolutely. Although she has the honorable position of an eldest princess, she does not have the virtues of an eldest princess. She is not the best choice in my father's mind."
Ling You suddenly said: "Oh? Could it be that the young lady of the Li family that Mr. Li likes should have the honor of the eldest princess and the virtues of the eldest princess?"
Li Suining sighed softly, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
"My father has a big heart... He is interested in another eldest princess. Although I have repeatedly advised him not to have any delusions, my father has never listened."
Xie Zhao paused slightly, what he said seemed wrong... She subconsciously frowned.
Han Changsheng also asked him curiously: "Oh? Is the future daughter-in-law candidate that Mr. Li is optimistic about really a princess? I wonder which princess it is?"
Li Suining raised his eyes and looked at him quietly without speaking.
But by mistake, Han Changsheng realized something from these eyes...
He was quiet for a moment and then asked hesitantly:
"It can't be...the eldest princess, right?"
Li Suining turned his jade-like handsome face to one side and did not answer directly, but his expression said everything...
This time, let alone Han Changsheng, everyone present was stunned.
Han Changsheng let out an "ouch" and said in surprise: "Isn't it? She is really Princess Tianchen? Master Li's heart is indeed big enough..."
Han Changsheng exclaimed "amazing" in his heart!
Princess Tianchen?
That's the "Thousand-Year-Old Sword Immortal"!
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Suhe, who looks kind and honest, actually dares to dream...
