Chapter 138 The Family Business Got
The old saying that the crying child gets the milk is never wrong. Li Laosi, with his shameless attitude of crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang himself, managed to carve out a decent family business from his father.
"Alright, although the things are not much, it's barely enough for me to get married and have children. I'm your son and I'm easy to talk to, so that's it. I'm leaving."
"Get out, get out, get out now."
The emperor waved his hands in frustration. Li Chengxiu had already developed a thick skin, so he didn't feel embarrassed in front of his own father. Satisfied, he rolled up the fresh and hot imperial edict, thinking about going back to his wife to ask for credit and reward.
Just as I reached the door, I remembered another condition I had forgotten to mention, so I quickly turned back.
"Dad, you can let me hand over the military token later, but you have to keep some private soldiers for me. Not too many, just three to five thousand will do."
The emperor raised his eyelids and stared at his fourth son, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
"I already have a fortune, why do I need soldiers?"
"Look at what you're saying. It's going to be tough for my family, which is so powerful, to not have any thugs at hand. I'm worried. I don't bully others, but I can't let others bully me.
If you don't agree, if I get bullied in the future, I will go back to my hometown and hang myself on the crooked tree next to your grave!
As long as you don’t mind being embarrassed in history books, I don’t care about my reputation either…”
"Do you have that thing?"
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit him, saying that Li Laosi was not a decent person. He was a prince, but he acted like a scoundrel.
"Go away."
"Give it or not?"
"Here! Get out of here right now! I'm getting a headache from your noise!"
"Hehehe, get out of here now, get out of here now. Dad, you better protect yourself and don't get angry all the time. I still want to continue to be the domineering Fourth Prince who doesn't have to admit defeat to anyone!"
"You also know that you are domineering and unethical?"
"What are you saying? My father has become the emperor, why should I be wronged and reason with him?"
Although he was very arrogant and unbecoming, he still managed to amuse the emperor, who waved his hands helplessly and laughed and cursed.
"roll."
"Okay!"
Li Chengxiu patted his butt decisively, and left contentedly with the imperial edict in his pocket.
The emperor looked at his high-spirited figure, and the smile in his eyes softened instantly. Perhaps he was thinking of something, and he sighed softly.
"You little bastard, you're such a fool! When daddy's gone, don't mess around with your brother like that. What will you do if he doesn't tolerate you?"
Li Chengxiu had no idea what his father was muttering behind his back. After completing the task, he jumped on his horse and rushed back to his sweetheart.
Jiang Wan looked at this clingy guy helplessly.
"It's almost dark now, can't you see? Why are you running back?"
"I'm back to deliver the good news!"
"Um?"
"I've got the family business. Look!"
Li Chengxiu proudly took out the imperial edict from his pocket and waved it in front of his wife, his intention to ask for credit and reward was very obvious.
She raised her hand to take the bright yellow imperial edict and read it from beginning to end. Miss Jiang, in a very good mood, began to praise it.
"I knew you were capable, so I made the right decision to entrust this matter to you!
"Even if we are really driven out of the capital, we don't have to panic. After all, we have a family business and can make a living anywhere. Now I can finally put my mind at ease and sleep peacefully."
A tall and handsome man was completely bewildered by a little girl. The compliments, one after another, were so sweet and sweet that Li Chengxiu wished he could grow a big tail and flaunt it.
"Well, you should definitely trust me when I'm doing things! I'm such a steady person, aren't you aware of that, Wanjie?"
"Of course, I definitely believe you. Li Chengxiu, you're truly amazing now. You look like a truly heroic figure..."
Blah blah blah, praise them as soon as you catch them.
Anyway, there is no tax on praising people. Jiang Wan is well versed in the essence of the husband-controlling skills taught by her mother, so everything she says is bound to be pleasant to the ears.
Jiang Huailiang, who was lying by the window to supervise, turned to look at his wife with a suspicious look on his face, leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Sister Yu, why do those two people in the room look familiar to me?"
"cough."
Mrs. Xu coughed lightly and uncomfortably, startling the two little ones in the room. Only then did she find the time to comfort her husband.
"My daughter and son-in-law have a harmonious relationship. Isn't that good? I think they will be able to have a loving marriage like us in the future. After all, only when two people love each other can they respect each other. Don't you think so, husband?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Huailiang was immediately persuaded by his wife. The thing he liked to hear most in his life was to hear this woman say that she liked him.
"Hehehe, harmonious relationships are good, harmonious relationships are good..."
"Mom, why are you and Dad here?"
Walking to the open window, Jiang Wan greeted her parents through the window. Behind her, the comforted Prince Qi was also smiling brightly.
"Mom and Dad, what are we having for dinner?"
This sense of freedom that made Old Jiang give him a cold shoulder, as he didn't consider himself an outsider.
"What are you eating? My Jiang family doesn't have any surplus food. Go back to your parents and get some food."
"No, Dad. I just had lunch with Father and Mother at noon. Logically, I should have dinner with you tonight, right, Mom?"
"Yes, your father doesn't know how to talk. He's just worried that you shouldn't just focus on your Yue family, but spend more time with the Emperor and the Empress."
"I didn't. You see, the gifts I brought back were all divided equally. This time, I'm being very even-handed. If you don't believe me, ask my mother someday."
"Believe me, believe me! Chengxiu, if you want to eat anything, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare it for you."
The way Xu looks at Li Chengxiu now fits that description perfectly: the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting he becomes.
Especially when the mother-in-law has a son-in-law who always holds his daughter in high esteem, she would wish she could help kill the spoiling father-in-law on the spot to cheer up her son-in-law.
"Thank you, Mom! I'm not picky about food. I eat whatever you give me.
When I first followed my father to the war, he made me eat the thin rice porridge every day, which was so watery that you could see your reflection in it. Even that could keep me full. He was really easy to feed.
Right, Dad?"
This inhuman thing has now been trained to be so rude that it actually dares to run in front of the mother-in-law and flatter the father-in-law so openly.
Jiang Wan's mouth twitched.
Is this thing not going to work in the future?
"Okay then, Mom will get you some more delicious food."
Before leaving, Xu finally couldn't hold back and attacked the poor and weak Jiang Huailiang. The head of the Jiang family, whose back was secretly pinched by his wife, cried inwardly and his face was tense.
"Well, um. Have you finished what you need to talk about? Come with me to the study, Lao Si. I have something to ask you."
