In the living room, Li Zhu ordered people to set up a banquet to entertain Hu Jiang. Of course, Li Jie, the prospective son-in-law, had to sit with him, but the food on the table was fragrant, but it could not hide the body odor and sweat odor on Hu Jiang's body. Hu Jiang said that he had just returned from training outside the city. When Li Jie was held by him just now, he almost fainted by the smell.

"Brother Li, the son-in-law is in good health. I think it's better to get the marriage done before the New Year!" Hu Jiang stuffed a large piece of mutton into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing it. His two big eyes like copper bells were also looking at Li Jie, full of the father-in-law's eyes looking at his son-in-law.

Li Jie was so smelled by the body odor of his father-in-law that he had no appetite. As for the so-called marriage, he was even more opposed. After all, he was going to die, so there was no need to pull someone else into the water. If he didn't want to die, he had to find a way to marry the princess, and it was even more impossible to marry Hu Jiang's daughter.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie couldn't help but worry secretly, how should he give up the marriage?

"Brother Hu, we must get married, but now there is only one month left for the New Year. Is it too hasty to get married before the New Year? We have no time to prepare!" Li Zhu also showed a embarrassed look at the end.

At this time, Li Jie was extremely impressed by his cheap father-in-law. He was calm and joking when facing his stinking father-in-law, and even could eat and drink without changing his face. Li Jie sighed as if he had this concentration alone.

"Although a month is not long, it is not short. Moreover, the son-in-law is in poor health. Now I am just taking advantage of the marriage to celebrate. I have found someone to calculate. My daughters are all good for the husband. Marrying them will definitely make the son-in-law unable to get sick and the family will flourish!" Hu Jiang insisted with a slight mouth.

Li Jie was beside him, but he secretly curled his lips. Hu Jiang is so swearing. Is your daughter a fairy pill? Why don’t you say that your daughter is Tang Monk, and can make people live forever?

When Li Zhu saw Hu Jiang insisting on getting married before the New Year, he showed a hesitant expression on his face. Li Jie and Hu Jiang's daughter would have been married long ago. If Li Jie hadn't been sick, she might have already finished her marriage, so the marriage would have been difficult to delay.

"Jie'er, what do you think of getting married before the New Year?" Li Zhu suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Jie and asked.

In fact, even if Li Zhu didn't ask, Li Jie planned to speak. After all, he couldn't drag someone else into the water, so he said without hesitation: "Father, I think it's better to postpone the marriage until next year!"

Li Jie wanted to directly propose a break-in, but judging from Hu Jiang and his father's attitude, if he dared to mention it now, the angry Hu Jiang might slap him to death, and Li Zhu would not be able to stop him, so he could only find a way to delay it first and then find a way later.

"Son-in-law, why do you say that too? You don't want the girl who sent her to the bed?" Hu Jiang asked with wide eyes when he heard this, but these words came from a father's mouth, which was really a bit slutty.

Although Li Zhu knew that Hu Jiang was a fool, he was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and Li Jie was speechless. However, he had already thought of a way to deal with it, so he patiently explained: "Uncle Hu, you also know that I have not improved since the beginning of the year and until the end of the year. It can be said that I have been lucky this year!"

Li Jie paused for a moment before continuing, "It is precisely because of this reason that I went outside the city two days ago to find a prime minister to tell me a fortune. As a result, the other party said that I was destined to be Tai Sui this year, and even next year, the bad luck will not dissipate easily. It will not be possible to truly escape this disaster until the second half of the year!"

Li Jie was also full of talking about running trains. Anyway, the ancients were superstitious, and he was indeed in bad luck this year, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that his life was against Tai Sui.

"How can you believe the words of the warlock in the world?" Hu Jiang waved his hand indifferently. His position is special and he often deals with fortune tellers, so he doesn't believe the so-called master's words.

"I didn't believe in these things before, but I almost died this year, and sometimes it made me feel that luck was aroused, so I would rather trust some things than trust nothing!"

Li Jie paused again when he said this: "In addition, if you get married before the New Year, it will be too hasty, so I think it's better to wait until the second half of next year, and there is enough time to prepare, and my bad luck will pass, and hold another grand wedding. After all, we can't underestimate our two families!"

Sure enough, although Hu Jiang did not believe in fate, he was a person with good face, so when he heard Li Jie's last words, he also showed a hesitant look on his face.

Li Zhu next to him asked with some concern: "Jie'er, does that master of the photo really say that?"

"Of course, otherwise how could the child curse himself?" Li Jie also replied with a wry smile, but he was already thinking about the same idea with Liu Yi tomorrow so as not to be missed in the future.

Seeing that Li Jie didn't seem to be lying, Li Zhu finally made a decision, so he turned to Hu Jiang and said, "Brother Hu, I think what Jie'er said makes sense. We would rather believe in some things than not, so we should wait until the second half of next year to get married!"

Seeing that Li Zhu and his son said this, Hu Jiang couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to slam the table and said, "Forget it, then wait until next year. But during this period, you must also maintain your health and must not have any more accidents!"

Of course, Li Jie agreed to it with all his words. After all, as long as Hu Jiang doesn't force him to get married now, as for the second half of next year, he knows what will happen. If his plan is successful, the best if it fails, he may have separated by then. I wonder if someone will collect his body after his death?

After the main talks, Li Zhu and Li Jie and his son also accompanied Hu Jiang to drink intently. Hu Jiang was a rough man and a desperate person to drink. In addition, Li Jie and his son persuaded each other, and finally they drank a lot. Li Zhu sent two servants to carry him onto the carriage and sent him away.

Li Zhu drank a few more drinks and after seeing Hu Jiang off, he also asked Li Jie to sit down again and said, "Jie'er, don't look at Hu Jiang's stubbornness, but your mother has seen his daughter. She is indeed a virtuous and beautiful woman, very compatible with you, you don't have to worry about this!"

Li Jie couldn't say anything about his suffering. Even if Hu Jiang's daughter was a fairy who came down to earth, he could not marry him. So he had to smile bitterly and said, "Let everything be controlled by my father!"

Seeing Li Jie so obedient, Li Zhu also felt a little moved. He reached out and patted his shoulder and said again: "My father is not well-born, and he has no ability. He can't find a daughter of a wealthy family for you. But Hu Jiang is not bad either. He is a Jinyiwei Qianhu. Although Jinyiwei has been suppressed in recent years, he is still famous. If you have a relationship with the Hu family in the future, you don't have to worry about you being bullied outside!"

"Uncle Hu is the Jinyiwei!" Li Jie also showed a shocked expression when he heard this. He thought Hu Jiang was just an ordinary thousand-city household in the Beijing camp, but he didn't expect that he was the famous Jinyiwei!

However, Li Jie quickly woke up from the shock and immediately asked again: "Father, what do you mean when the Jinyiwei is suppressed?"

"This matter is a long story and involves the palace, so we can only discuss it privately in our father and son, and we must not spread it!" Li Zhu first reminded Li Jie a few times, and then talked about the Jinyiwei's affairs.

The predecessor of the Jinyiwei was called Gongweisi, which was later changed to the personal military commander's office. At first, it was only responsible for the escorts and other affairs around Zhu Yuanzhang, but later it added functions such as collecting intelligence and arresting criminals.

However, what really brought the Jinyiwei to the stage was the famous "Hu Weiyong case". When handling this case, Jinyiwei's cavalry came out everywhere and arrested the officials involved in the case. In the end, more than 30,000 people were killed.

In addition to the "Hu Weiyong case", the Air Seal Case and the Guo Huan case among the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty have also broken out. The Jinyiwei was also the main force in handling the case, but just two years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the Jinyiwei's power was too great and even a little uncontrollable, so he began to restrict the Jinyiwei's power, stripped some judicial powers from the Jinyiwei and handed them over to the judicial department for handling. Therefore, the Jinyiwei has also begun to decline in recent years.

After hearing Li Zhu's words, Li Jie suddenly remembered that the Jinyiwei was indeed suppressed at the beginning of its establishment. However, three years later, the Lan Yu case broke out, and the Jinyiwei was activated by Zhu Yuanzhang again, thus lifting the bloody embroidered sword. However, that was also the last glory of the Jinyiwei during the Hongwu period. Just after the Lan Yu case was over, the Jinyiwei was hidden again. It was not until Zhu Di seized power that the Jinyiwei once again activated, allowing the Jinyiwei to run through the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Jie'er, I originally hoped that you could get a fame and fortune in school, but now I'm also thinking about it. If you don't want to study in the future, let Brother Hu help you find an errand in the Jinyiwei. With his care, he will be a way out in the future." Finally, Li Zhu grabbed Li Jie's hand and said solemnly again.

Li Zhu had wanted to be successful before, so he tried every means to send Li Jie to study in the Imperial College, and even asked Li Shanchang for this. However, after Li Jie's illness, he suddenly realized that as long as Li Jie lives healthy, it is better than anything else.

"Thank you, my father, I understand!" Li Jie smiled bitterly and said, "How can their Li family have a future?"

Although Li Zhu was not drunk, he drank a few more drinks, so Li Jie helped him back to his inner house to rest. When Mrs. Li saw him, she couldn't help but complain: "Isn't that person named Hu just a good thing? According to me, this marriage should have been retired long ago. You actually drank with him. I really don't know what you think?"

"Retreat?" Li Jie also looked curious when she heard her mother's words, "Mom, why did she retreat?"

"Hmph, the man surnamed Hu is a snob. When you were sick, he not only didn't come to visit him, but even heard that he wanted to ruin his marriage. Until recently, he heard that your illness was cured, and he ran over with shamelessness to get married early. If you become a relative of such a person, you might have something to do in the future!" Mrs. Li said very annoyed when she mentioned Hu Jiang.

When Li Jie heard his mother's words, he secretly called it a pity. If Hu Jiang had really retired from the marriage before, there would be less obstacles to marrying the princess himself.
