Chapter 139 Reminder
Li Chengxiu, who had been a bit naughty, followed his father-in-law obediently. The two of them walked in silence all the way to the study and sat down. He looked up at the dark face and apologized sincerely.
"Dad, I was just talking nonsense just now. Please don't take it personally. If you really want to, you can beat me if you deserve it, or scold me if you deserve it, but please don't just stare at me and not say anything. It makes me feel a little uneasy."
"Oh, you are the dignified Prince of Qi, a member of the royal family. How dare I hit or scold you?"
"Why should I be afraid? It's not like you haven't dealt with me before. Even if I become the Jade Emperor, I'm still your son-in-law, right?"
At this time, Li Laosi was able to speak and flatter Jiang Huailiang very well, so he scolded him.
"Stop talking nonsense! It's only been a short while since we last met, and those scoundrels in the army have already taken you out of the army?"
"Hehehe, it's mainly because I have a good understanding and can be polished..."
"I didn't praise you!"
Once the conversation started, the silence quickly vanished. After Old Jiang had thoroughly disparaged Xiao Li, he got back to the point.
"Have you told the Emperor what you should say?"
"Well, not only did I say that, I also performed beyond my normal expectations. My old man was so distressed that he immediately gave me another thousand households of food. Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely provide for my wife and children from now on."
Jiang Huailiang was silent for a few breaths, then asked slowly.
"I think you're going to be a vassal. How many soldiers can the emperor leave for you?"
Li Chengxiu regained his composure and replied with a frown.
"I asked for three to five thousand, but I don't know how much Father will be willing to give. It can't be less than this, or I won't leave! Besides, Li Lao Er is no fool. He'll definitely go to Father to ask for it later."
"It's good that you know this. You really can't openly recruit so many people. You may not be able to support one, and it's better to keep a low profile. Sometimes it can be a good thing to return the military power to the emperor. It depends on who will take over. Anyway, you will just have to act according to the circumstances."
"Yeah, I know."
The two of them discussed in detail the situations in the capital and Dongling Prefecture. After explaining almost everything that needed to be explained, Lao Jiang coughed vigorously twice.
"Ahem, that..."
"Dad, are you sick? Hurry up and drink some hot tea to moisten your throat."
"Ahem, no."
Li Chengxiu raised his hand to offer tea in a servile manner. His father-in-law took it out of courtesy and his expression became much better.
"I just want to tell you a few words."
"You talk, and I listen."
I don’t know when it started, but this tough guy who is particularly unreasonable in other people becomes very well-behaved and obedient in front of Jiang Huailiang, which makes people feel comfortable.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that in ten days or so you and your sister will be getting married. Once you're married, you'll be adults, and you can't be as unstable as before.
A real man should be upright and supportive of his wife, children and the elderly at home. Remember, no matter what time, don't forget the joy you feel when you try every means to marry her.
A couple spends a lot of time together, and there will always be times when they argue, get angry, and get angry. When you're feeling frustrated, just think about it: Why would a man like me, a grown man, get angry with these delicate women? After all, she's my wife. If I make her sick, won't I be the one who suffers the consequences?
So what do I mean, do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Li Chengxiu nodded decisively.
"I will never be like you again and make my own wife angry. How sweet am I? I promise I can coax my sister away from hitting me. Don't worry about me!"
…
Is this what I mean?
Who are you putting here?!
Jiang Huailiang was so angry that his eyes glared at him and he stopped beating around the bush. After all, he was just a rough guy and didn't have such delicate thoughts.
"I'm reminding you not to follow the example of others and flirt with other women. I have a bad temper and I can't stand that kind of grievance.
When the Emperor granted us this marriage, you promised yourself that you would never have affairs. Now that my daughter is marrying you, Li Laosi, if you dare go back on your word, I will not forgive you!
Do you understand this time?"
"Hehehe, you said you could have come straight to the point earlier, but you had to beat around the bush in front of me."
Li Chengxiu's smile was quite rude.
"Don't worry, I, Li Chengxiu, am a man of integrity. Once I say something, it's as good as it gets! I will only take care of Jiang Wan for the rest of my life, but you must remember to tell your daughter that she can only take care of me in this life!"
"Nonsense, have you ever seen a woman with three husbands and four concubines?"
"Isn't this just a casual remark to suit the occasion? Please don't worry about it. My sister and I will definitely live a good life in the future and give you and my mother a lot of grandchildren..."
"Bah! No matter how many children you have, they'll all be your Li family's children. Take these nice words back and fool your own parents. How can you fool me?"
"Why not? Dad, if you're really mad at me, when I have a son, can I give him your last name?"
"Humph, if you really dare to do that, then let's see if the emperor can rush to my old Jiang family's door with a big knife in hand."
"Hahahahahaha, Dad, you really understand my dad..."
The father-in-law and son-in-law were chatting happily in the study.
The days passed slowly in this relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and an auspicious day arrived.
October 16th is a good day for marriage.
Before daybreak, the Duke's Mansion was already brightly lit.
Xu had slept in her eldest daughter's yard last night, and the two of them had a lot of private conversation. Jiang Wan felt as if she had just closed her eyes for a moment when she heard her mother's voice calling her to get up.
"Wanjie, hurry up and wash up. The dresser will be here soon."
I pushed open my heavy eyelids and tried to look outside. The pitch-black sky showed that it was still the middle of the night.
"Mom, sleep a little longer."
"I can't sleep any more. I have a lot of things to do today. I have to go to the yard to check the dowry with your aunt, so I can't stay here with you.
Get up quickly and wash up. Be obedient.
Hongzhu, find the set of mandarin duck Ruyi pendants and use them to hold the hem of the young lady's skirt."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Everyone in the room was busy and chattering, making Jiang Wan, the main person, feel embarrassed to stay in bed. Not long after she got out of bed, changed her clothes and washed up, the old lady was helped in by Jiang Han.
Jiang Wan hurried over.
"Grandma, why are you here so early? It's still dark outside. What if you stumble along the way? Second son, you're really something. Can't you wait until daybreak to help Grandma over?"
Jiang Han pouted coquettishly.
"Why did I have to come so early? Wasn't it grandma who forced me to help her come here with a lantern?"
