Chapter 14: Exclusively published by Jin-Jiang Literature City
Si Yuan, who had returned to Mother Li with his son in his arms, his eyes flashed slightly, and his consciousness saw how Li Jingyuan taught the male protagonist Li Changwen, who was still a cub, after he left.
Although in this ordinary small world, Si Yuan rarely releases his spiritual consciousness in a large area, but in order to ensure safety, he will use his spiritual consciousness in a small area to observe the surrounding situation. This has been a habit he developed in the Tiancang Realm. It's a habit.
After all, dangers are everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation such as Tiancang Realm. Even if Si Yuan becomes a member of the Wangtian Immortal Sect and has an extraordinary status, he still encounters dangers. Learning the Way of Gou is a compulsory course for every strong person in Tiancang Realm. Those who don't know how to do it will never live to become strong.
Si Yuan's good habits allowed him to use his spiritual consciousness to see what happened between Li Jingyuan and Li Changwen after he left, and he couldn't help but have a new plan in his mind.
Such a good opportunity to drive a wedge between the male protagonist and his son, how could we wait until we seize it?
So Si Yuan held his son and said to Li Changwen's mother, Tan: "My fourth brother and I found the child in the small garden outside. I just don't know why my fourth brother hasn't brought Xiao Changwen back yet. Let's go and have a look." Bar."
Ms. Tan considers herself and Li Jingyuan to be one husband and wife. She knows that Li Jingyuan has always looked down on Li Siyuan, his dandy brother. Li Siyuan also has no good feelings toward her husband. The relationship between the two brothers is not very harmonious, so she heard Si Yuan's words. , and subconsciously became vigilant, worried that something would happen to her husband and son, and stood up to accuse Li's mother: "Mom, my daughter-in-law, go out and take a look."
Mother Li had always been indifferent to her concubine and concubine's daughter-in-law. She nodded casually and waved to Si Yuan with a smile on her face: "Quickly give me a hug, Chang Qing."
Si Yuan took the child over, and Mother Li took Xiao Changqing's hand and smiled extremely lovingly: "Grandma's dear grandson, let grandma give her a good kiss."
Mrs. Tan felt sad for being ignored, but she didn't dare to say anything. She quietly left and went to the small garden to look for her husband and son.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the small garden, he heard Li Jingyuan's sullen voice admonishing his son: "Don't you know you're wrong? Do you know you're wrong?"
His son Li Changwen's voice was trembling and confused: "I don't know what my son did wrong. Father, father made it clear..."
Li Jingyuan, for one, just didn't tell him where he went wrong. He wanted him, a little child, to figure it out on his own, guess on his own, and then admit his mistakes.
Accompanied by the sound of whipping branches on the child, Mrs. Tan's face suddenly changed, and she quickly walked over. Just in time to see Li Jingyuan raise his hand and whip a branch on his son, she immediately rushed over and knelt down. He hugged the pitiful son who was lying on the ground and looked at Li Jingyuan with excitement and tears and asked: "Husband, Changwen is not even five years old, he is still so young. What's wrong with him? Just teach him slowly. Why do you have to hit him directly?" Him? It’s such a cold day, and he is forced to kneel on the ground. What if the cold air enters the body and makes him sick? We only have a son like this! "
Tan had some dystocia when she gave birth. Although she successfully gave birth to her son Li Changwen, her body was damaged and it was difficult to get pregnant again. Therefore, Li Changwen was most likely the only child in her life and her only hope for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Tan has always regarded her son Li Changwen as important as his lifeblood. Not to mention beating him, he has never even scolded him. She is a very loving mother who dotes on her children.
However, the more Tan loved his son, the more Li Jingyuan felt that he should be a strict father and treat Li Changwen, the eldest son, quite harshly.
Coupled with Si Yuan's stimulation just now, Li Jingyuan became so angry that he even kneeled down and whipped his son.
At first, when Li Jingyuan saw his wife Tan coming over, he calmed down a little and realized that his behavior was inappropriate. But as soon as Tan said this to protect his son, he felt that he was right again: "A loving mother often loses her son! This boy made a mistake , if I, the father, don’t teach him and correct him in time, he will not know how to correct himself, and there will be a lot of hardship for him in the future..."
Li Jingyuan talked about a lot of great truths, but was finally defeated by Tan's question: "What did Chang Wen do wrong?"
Li Jingyuan was speechless. How could he tell his wife his unbearable thoughts? He could only walk away in anger: "Ask this evil yourself!"
After Li Jingyuan left, Mrs. Tan hugged her son distressedly and checked his injuries. Fortunately, it was cold and she was worried about her son freezing, so she gave him thicker clothes. The branches Li Jingyuan broke off were not thick, after all, he was the thickest one. Even a weak scholar couldn't break it off, so it was slapped on Li Changwen's body. The pain was a little painful, but it didn't leave any serious injuries.
What really makes Li Changwen sad is his father's attitude towards him, which is in sharp contrast to Sanbo's attitude towards Changqing's cousin. What makes him sad is that his father doesn't love him.
Therefore, Li Changwen appeared depressed and depressed.
Tan asked gently and coaxingly: "Chang Wen, what happened just now that made your father so angry?"
Li Changwen didn't know why his father was so angry, so he could only tell Tan what happened just now.
He is worthy of being the lucky male protagonist of this small world. He has been smart since he was a child and speaks in a clear and logical manner. He described clearly what happened and the conversation between Si Yuan and his son just now, without any bias in reporting mistakes. .
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan knew something in her heart. She had been married to Li Jingyuan for several years, and she had some understanding of the personality of the person next to her. Li Jingyuan clearly saw that his son was envious of the close relationship between Li Siyuan and his son, and became angry because of it. On my son.
Mrs. Tan sighed in her heart at Li Jingyuan. She couldn't dote on her son like her third brother, and not allow her son to be envious. How disgusting!
But in front of her son, Mrs. Tan still wanted to speak for him: "Your father is probably angry that you don't perform as well as your cousin Changqing. If you study hard and perform better than your cousin Changqing, your father will naturally not be angry." ”
Li Changwen nodded confusedly. Was his father angry because of this?
Mrs. Tan went back with Li Changwen in her arms.
It happened that Mrs. Li, the birthday girl, was going to show up in the front yard to accept everyone's birthday wishes.
Mrs. Tan lowered her presence and walked to Li Jingyuan's side and put her son down. Li Changwen walked silently beside his mother, holding her mother's hand, but he couldn't help but look at Si Yuan who was being held in his arms. Xiao Changqing.
The birthday banquet in the front yard is about to begin. After Li's mother, the birthday girl, made a public appearance, the guests sent birthday gifts and congratulatory messages one after another. Siyuan's family of three, as people who separated from the family, can only be regarded as guests when they come to Jingyuan Jingbo Mansion. , only Li Chengyuan and his wife can entertain guests as hosts.
Si Yuan didn't care about this and asked the maid to lead the three of them to find their seats and sit down to wait for the banquet to begin.
After Si Yuan sat down, on his right was Xiao Changqing, and then his wife Yu Yan. They shouldn't have sat like this. It was Xiao Changqing who wanted to sit between his parents, and Si Yuan, a doting child, agreed without saying a word. .
Rules are not as important as his son's happiness. Si Yuan insisted on this, and the maid who arranged the seats did not dare to say anything.
However, the seat to Si Yuan's left was still empty, and he didn't ask who was sitting on his left.
As Si Yuan sat down, someone soon took the initiative to sit in the empty seat on his left. Si Yuan turned his head and looked a little familiar. He seemed to be Zhao Lin, the youngest son of Duke Wei? Once at a dinner, Mr. Zhao Lin from Duke Wei's Mansion was invited over by a friend, and Si Yuan also met him once.
Si Yuan didn't talk to Zhao Lin. After all, there was a gap in their identities. He took the initiative to talk to him as if he was trying to flatter the other person. He didn't have the interest to be hot-faced but cold-butt. He just glanced at the other person and continued to play with his son.
Zhao Lin waited for a while but didn't see Si Yuan take the initiative to say hello to him. Finally he couldn't help but take the initiative himself. He whispered to Si Yuan: "Young Master Li, I have admired you for a long time."
Although Si Yuan didn't want to have a passionate love affair with others, he still knew how to deal with people. Naturally, he would not let others have a passionate love affair with him. He smiled politely and nodded and said: "Hello, Mr. Zhao, I'm just a dandy." It's probably not famous at all." He laughed at himself very calmly.
Zhao Lin is also the third eldest son in the Duke of Wei's house, but unlike Li Siyuan, the two brothers above Zhao Lin are all direct brothers. Mrs. Duke of Wei is a ruthless character. There is not a single concubine in the house, only two. female.
Zhao Lin heard Si Yuan's self-deprecating words and carefully observed Si Yuan's expression, only to find that his expression was very calm and composed, without any shame. He immediately felt that this was the cool and unrestrained style of an expert, and he admired him more and more.
Zhao Lin lowered his voice and said: "Master Li San, I came to you to ask for your help in fortune telling."
Si Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Fortune telling? What fortune telling? I can't tell fortunes, I can only gamble."
Zhao Lin understood and immediately changed his words: "Ah, yes, yes, it's a bet. I came to make a bet with Mr. Li San. My eldest brother will leave Beijing for business soon. I wonder if his trip will go smoothly... …”
Si Yuan nonchalantly took out three copper coins from his sleeves, threw them in his hand, and said casually: "Then I bet that Mr. Zhao can turn danger into good luck along the way and return to Beijing alive."
The boulder hanging in Zhao Lin's heart only fell halfway and hung in the air. He asked anxiously: "Master Li San, what do you mean by this? My eldest brother can come back alive, but will he encounter danger on the way? ?Is the danger serious? Will it endanger my brother's health? How to turn danger into good fortune? "
After all, Si Yuan's words of 'returning to Beijing alive' sounded very ominous. Zhao Lin felt that his eldest brother could only save one life, and it was not certain whether he would be missing arms or legs.
Si Yuan put away the three copper coins and looked at Zhao Lin without saying a word.
Zhao Lin asked anxiously at first, but seeing Si Yuan's demeanor, he immediately took out a wad of silver notes from his arms and stuffed them into him: "This is gambling money."
Si Yuan smiled and put the banknote in his arms, then whispered a few words into Zhao Lin's ear. Zhao Lin's expression changed from anxious to surprised as he whispered.
After Si Yuan finished speaking, he sat up straight again and said with a calm smile: "I win every bet, and I will definitely win this bet!"
Zhao Lin smiled happily and said, "Young Master Li will definitely win, he will definitely win!" He very much hoped that Si Yuan would win this bet that was related to his elder brother's safety.
At this time, Li Jingyuan, who came with his wife and children, saw that his seat was arranged near Si Yuan, and it was also occupied by a person who looked very close to Si Yuan. As soon as he came over, he heard Si Yuan say that he You must win every bet and what Zhao Lin said.
Li Jingyuan thought the two were talking about gambling, so he said to Si Yuan with displeasure: "Third brother, if you want to gamble with your friends, don't take my place. I can't listen to these words. It's dirty." My ears."
Li Jingyuan thought that Zhao Lin was one of those bad friends Li Siyuan had made before, and he didn't even bother to look at Zhao Lin.
He only pointed the finger at Si Yuan and loudly accused Si Yuan of not mentioning gambling at his mother's birthday party, making himself look like a great gentleman.
Si Yuan: "..."
Zhao Lin: "..."
