"Okay, okay, whenever you want to go, I can take you there at any time."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said sincerely,
"Would you like to go later?"
Changsun Wugou shook his head.
"I'm still tired right now. Let's wait for two days and calm down a little bit."
She whispered,
"You leave the child slave behind and accompany me to relieve my boredom."
With that said, she went to tease her son again.
"Child slave, little child slave..."
Li Zhi jumped up and down on the bed, without any worry on his face, instead he giggled excitedly.
His smile was so contagious that it made both his parents laugh too.
"Speaking of which, it's time for Zhinu to become enlightened. When Li Zhi was younger than him, she followed Ting Ming to learn "Yi", and her wisdom increased very quickly."
Changsun Wugao hugged his son who was crawling around. He suddenly looked at Li Shimin and said,
"Is he busy recently? Talk to him sometime and ask him to take care of his child slave."
Li Shimin couldn't help but snorted coldly when he heard this.
"This person is very lazy. I'm afraid he doesn't want to teach anymore."
He said displeasedly,
"In his heart, Chengqian is a precious lump, and everyone else is a stone."
"I guess he will refuse."
Li Er felt unhappy when he thought that Li Chengqian was still at Xu Fenglei's house.
There is actually a certain sourness in this unhappiness.
A good son will not kiss his father, but will kiss his master...
"You can't say that. After all, he has put the most effort into Cheng Qian, so he naturally loves him the most."
Changsun Wugou waved his hand and said,
"He loves Cheng Qian, you should be happy."
"In the future, if Cheng Qian takes over your position, you will have to rely on him to help you."
Li Shimin nodded.
That's true.
Xu Fenglei was his long-established minister of care.
"He may not be able to outlive us! Humph!"
Although he thought so in his heart, Li Er refused to say soft words and looked arrogant.
"Giggle...that's the best."
Changsun Wugao's eyes brightened slightly, he looked at Li Shimin and said softly,
"May my husband live a long life."
When Li Shimin heard the word 'husband', his nose felt sour and he almost stopped.
"Together, let's be old people together and grow old together."
He responded, then didn't want to continue this sad topic, and instead said,
"Actually, I think this child Cheng Qian is too weak-tempered."
"When he was a child, he liked raising rabbits like a girl. When he grew up, it became even better. He became friends with the eunuch!"
"He is the crown prince! How can he make friends with slaves? I'm really afraid that he will be deceived by eunuchs in the future... By then, won't he make the same mistake as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty?"
"Oh! How worrying!"
Li Zhi was a little tired from playing, so he lay beside his mother and fell asleep deeply.
Children are like this, they have no thoughts and fall asleep instantly.
Changsun Wugou wrapped his son into his bed and said softly:
"Erfeng, you don't have to worry so much."
"Child Cheng Qian, it's not bad to be a benevolent king. As for the eunuchs to disrupt the government, that's impossible. You Ting Ming is here."
"With his assistance when the time comes, Cheng Qian will definitely not deviate from the direction."
Li Shimin nodded.
"That's true. I'll arrange for auxiliary machines to assist him, and there shouldn't be any trouble."
Li Er agreed.
However, when Changsun Wuji heard the word 'auxiliary machine', he frowned.
"Brother and Ting Ming are different."
She said seriously,
"Listen to this man. We have been together for such a long time. You also know that his lack of greed for power is really not an act. The banks and schools he founded were all abandoned after they were established, and he never held on to power."
"My brother is just the opposite. He wants to show off whenever he gets the chance. He will never let go of power once he has it."
"The two of them are just the opposite."
"This is also the main reason why I have always opposed my brother's taking power. My cousin is just a secondary reason... I know him too well."
Li Shimin listened quietly, somewhat silent.
"Brother, if you push him up, don't even think about him coming down. He won't be willing to come down even if his skin peels off."
Changsun Wuguo said again,
"So if you raise him too high, it will definitely cause trouble to Cheng Qian in the future, and even... a bad tragedy will happen."
"It's different when you hear Mingming. Believe it or not...it doesn't matter how high you lift him up. If you want him to come down, it's just a matter of words. He won't miss you at all. He just pats his butt and comes down gracefully. "
"So, if you really want to choose Gu Ming in the future, you must choose Ting Ming, not your brother. Ting Ming is the most reassuring."
It has to be said that Changsun Wugou is not only a virtuous queen, but also an outstanding politician.
Her prediction of the future situation is extremely accurate!
"...I know, I will think about it carefully."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said with a smile,
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."
"It sounds like I'm about to take care of my funeral now... Actually, I'm still far from it!"
"I still have plenty of energy now... don't think about these nonsense! We will talk about the future later! Maybe I will die first by then. You are still here. With you as the Queen Mother, what should we worry about?"
Changsun Wugu rolled his eyes at him.
"No nonsense."
She said angrily, and suddenly tightened the quilt.
Whoosh.
There was a blast of cold air blowing in from the window.
Li Shimin quickly got up and closed the window.
"Two Phoenixes."
Changsun Wugao covered his body in the quilt, only showing his two round eyes, and said in a low voice,
"Will it snow this winter?"
Li Shimin was stunned.
"Yes...the north wind is so cold. It won't be long before it snows."
He responded,
"What, you want to see snow?"
Changsun Wugou covered himself with the quilt and nodded.
"Girls seem to like the snow."
Li Shimin said with a smile,
"Well, I'll go ask Qin Tianjian to see when it will snow. I guess it will be soon."
"But...can your body bear it?"
Changsun Wugou nodded firmly.
"It's okay to eat even if you can't bear it. Just take good care of it and it'll be fine!"
She looked at Li Shimin and muttered,
"If I can't wait that long... I want to have a white hair with you, just once."
Li Shimin's eyes were blank.
"Say something stupid again."
His nose was a little sore, so he stepped forward and covered his wife and son with quilts, and said seriously,
"Everything will be fine. From now on, you can get free money once a year, husband, I promise you."
"Be good, take a nap..."
Changsun Wugu obediently closed his eyes and soon fell into a dream.
Seeing his wife and children sleeping soundly, Li Shimin's heart softened.
"How wonderful it would be if we could freeze at this moment..."
He looked at his eldest grandson Wugou and Li Zhi and whispered,
"I will always protect you, and no one can take you away from me..."
…
The next day.
On the outskirts of Chang'an, on a low mountain.
"Principal Yuan, why does your uncle live in a place like this?"
Wu Erya climbed the mountain, but kept mumbling.
"Exalted people are generally like this."
Xu Fenglei took her hand and said with a smile,
"Your godfather and I used to like to live in the mountains. If someone wants to come to visit, it will take a lot of effort."
"Are you tired? If you are, I will carry you on my back?"
It can be said that he loves this goddaughter very much.
Of course, there is also the reason why Wu Yatou is cute and sweet-tongued.
"Humph, no need."
Wu Erya lost his temper and said,
"I don't believe it, I can't go up!"
After that, she ran up the steps, climbing dozens of steps in one breath.
“Kids are just full of energy.”
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and smiled,
"I'm old, take your time, or you'll hurt your knees."
Xu Fenglei naturally didn't care about that crazy girl and said casually:
"Lao Yuan, can you tell me what kind of person your uncle is?"
"I'm so prepared."
Yuan Tiangang thought for a while.
"He... is a weirdo. You might not even be able to stand him."
"If our practitioner of metaphysics is a magic stick, then he is an even more magic stick than a magic stick... a magic stick!"
"But he has real talent and knowledge... But you don't know which of his words are deceiving you and which of them are true... Anyway, I am always deceived by him."
Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.
This is a bit like the legendary Jigong, who showed the world his madness.
"It seems I have to be more serious. At least I can't lose in terms of momentum!"
Xu Fenglei thought secretly.
After all, he is also a 'master' and is nicknamed 'Mr. Poverty Relief'. It would be very embarrassing if his colleagues deceive him!
With this idea in mind, he climbed up the mountain step by step.
Halfway up the green mountain, there is a small courtyard.
There are many fruits and vegetables planted outside the yard, and the layout is similar to Xu Fenglei's small yard on Moyu Mountain.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Wu Erya saw her godfather coming up and knocked on the door!
"Who is it? What bastard disturbed my sleep?"
"Look at your grandpa, I don't...yo, what a pretty little girl! Where are you from?"
"Let me see your face... Hey! It's so precious! Come on, girl, I'll feel your bones..."
A sloppy old man ran out cursing, opened the door and saw a pretty little girl, who instantly performed a Sichuan Opera face change, smiling brightly.
"Hello, uncle!"
Wu Erya was not afraid of strangers, so they started chatting.
"How can I be so valuable?"
"Come and listen! I like to hear others praise me!"
Yuan Shoucheng laughed.
"I'm not sure yet. You have to touch the bones to know."
He was slovenly and looked like a dirty old man.
But in fact, his eyes were clear and somewhat expectant.
"Oh, you can touch it, but I'm ticklish."
Wu Erya nodded, very generously.
This time Yuan Shoucheng was a little surprised.
"Girl, you have such a temper. Who would believe you if you say you can't achieve great things? Who girl can compare with you?"
He stepped forward, stretched out his hand, praised a few words, and then pinched Wu Erya's left shoulder.
"Hmm... ok, what a good phoenix shoulder!"
He squeezed Wu Erya's right shoulder again.
"Hoho...it's not bad, but it's a little bit worse. It's a pity."
After squeezing his shoulders, he stopped moving.
Wu Erya heard this and said curiously:
"What's good? What's wrong?"
"Old man, don't show off! I'll give you money!"
Yuan Shoucheng chuckled.
"Money is a common thing, who wants it? We don't care about money, we care about fate."
He stroked his beard, but found that his beard was all tangled due to not taking care of it for a long time, and it was very painful to stroke it.
"Yuan? What is fate?"
Wu Erya was confused and said impatiently,
"It's really troublesome! Convert it into money!"
Yuan Shoucheng laughed.
"We are destined! Let's do this... you smoothen your beard for me, and he will tell you what's good and what's bad about it?"
"OK?"
He was very fond of this girl who was not afraid of life.
"Isn't this simple? Where is the clean water here? I'll get some water for you to freshen up. It'll be fine in no time!"
Wu Erya raised his head and said.
Yuan Shoucheng pointed to the well inside the house.
"Here, go!"
Da da.
The girl ran in and fetched water with a wooden bucket.
"uncle."
Yuan Tiangang then stepped forward, cupped his hands towards Yuan Shoucheng, and said respectfully,
"My nephew is here to see you."
"Who is this……"
Yuan Shoucheng waved his hand.
"I came to visit the old man without bringing any gifts, and I don't know any etiquette!"
"I have no chance with you, so get out! I'm annoyed when I see you!"
Yuan Tiangang: "..."
"This...uncle, I came here in a hurry and I did not bring a gift."
He said a little embarrassed,
"I'll make it up for you next time, you see..."
"Then you can come again next time!" Yuan Shoucheng snorted coldly without giving any face.
At this time, Yuan Tiangang was helpless.
"Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry for disturbing you, Xu Fenglei."
Xu Fenglei cupped his hands towards Yuan Shoucheng and said with a smile,
"I have something to ask for. Brother Yuan is just helping to introduce me."
"I was indeed negligent in not bringing any gifts this time. I will definitely send someone to make up for it when I get back, do you think?"
Yuan Shoucheng glanced at Xu Fenglei.
"What does that girl have to do with you?" he asked suddenly.
"Uh...she is my goddaughter."
Yuan Shoucheng sneered.
"Then you, this godfather, are a cheat. You have ruined this girl's bright future!"
He said,
"It's hard to find a miracle, we don't have to see it anymore!"
"It's really... hum!"
Xu Fenglei's heart skipped a beat.
What the old man meant... was he to blame for cutting off the Wu family's dragon vein? !
How could he tell? !
For a moment, Xu Fenglei felt a little unsure.
"Turn around!"
Yuan Shoucheng suddenly shouted.
Xu Fenglei was stunned for a moment, but he turned around obediently without hesitation.
Yuan Shoucheng slapped Xu Fenglei on the back and lifted him up!
"Ouch!"
Xu Fenglei screamed and felt a wave of pain coming from him!
"There is a small black bulge on the back. When did it appear?"
Yuan Shoucheng picked at the bulge and snorted coldly.
Xu Fenglei was even more stunned.
A bulge?
He put his hand back into his neck and reached down.
Hey... I do have a small bulge, but it's not big, just a little bigger than a pimple. I don't feel it at all on weekdays.
But when Yuan Shoucheng pushed me just now... it hurt!
"This is……"
"Those who do bad things will suffer."
Yuan Shoucheng hummed and said,
"You are not honest in what you do, and you will be punished soon!"
