Chapter 84: Screaming Brother-in-law
When Li Jie was given a marriage, the news was like wings. It spread throughout the capital in the blink of an eye. What was even more unexpected was that Zhu Yuanzhang directly named Princess Danyang Princess Danyang Princess. Princess' husband was called Yibin, and Princess' husband was the princess consort. Li Jie became the princess consort envied by many people.
As soon as the news came out, everyone looked in the direction of the Korean Duke's Mansion. Some people who didn't know the inside story even envied Li Sunchang because his son married the princess, and now one grandson married the princess again. Two princesses were born in one family, which was unheard of.
However, those who know the inside story are in a complicated mood. Some people envy the Li family for their talent. Li Jie, who was kicked out of the house, was actually valued by His Majesty and became the son-in-law.
Some people are waiting to see Li Shanchang's jokes. Although Li Jie is nothing to Li Shanchang now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Jie has a bright future after the festival. Maybe the Li family will rely on Li Jie to support their store in the future. But now their grandparents and grandchildren are having such a stalemate. God knows whether Li Jie's rise will be a blessing or a disaster for the Li family?
"Jie'er, you are already the prince-consort now. Should we go back to see your grandfather?" In the living room, Li Zhu hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke. Last time he went to see Li Shanchang, he felt that the relationship between the two families had been much eased. Now Li Jie has become the prince-consort again. It is logical that such a big thing should be back.
When Li Jie heard this, she smiled bitterly and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Father, do you remember that my uncle said before that something big happened recently, so you must go out less?"
"Of course I remember, but I heard that the court has calmed down again, and even the Jinyiwei has calmed down. I guess His Majesty no longer intends to pursue the case of the father and son, right?" Li Zhu was in charge of the Military Weapons Bureau at least, and of course he had heard of the case of the father and son.
"It's not that Your Majesty doesn't plan to pursue it, but because of King Tan, he temporarily put this matter aside!" Li Jie explained helplessly. This matter should not be told to others. After all, it is related to the royal family, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want too many people to know, but in order to let Li Zhu understand the seriousness of the matter, Li Jie had to tell him.
"What does this have to do with the King of Tan?" Li Zhu asked with confusion.
"Of course it's related. Even if I can be given a marriage by Your Majesty, it's related to the King of Tan..." Li Jie said as he feared Zhu Zi's self-immolation, but he saved him in time due to his own reminder, and the impact caused by this incident was explained in detail.
It was the first time that Li Zhu knew that there were so many inside stories about Li Jie being given a marriage.
"Father, now the matter of King Tan is over, Your Majesty will definitely turn his attention to the case of the Yu family and son again. The tree in the Korean Duke's Mansion attracts wind. It's best if you don't have anything to do with the other side during this period!" Li Jie also advised with some painstaking advice at the end.
In fact, Li Jie had known for a long time that since Li Shanchang borrowed troops from Tang He, his grandfather had put his head under the butcher's knife. Now it depends on when Zhu Yuanzhang fell down the knife?
"This... OK!" Li Zhu was finally moved by Li Jie and nodded immediately.
This also made Li Jie feel relieved. All he could save now was his parents. As for Li Shanchang, he really couldn't help it. He had done what he should do, but Li Shanchang himself failed to seize the opportunity.
It was getting late, and Li Jie also bid farewell to Li Zhu and left the house. He wanted to go to the palace to serve on duty. However, Li Zhu asked for leave today because Li Jie was named the son-in-law, and there were still many things to do next. For example, the Ministry of Rites would send officials to come today, and the emperor also needed three entries to marry a daughter, which was more complicated than ordinary families.
However, these have nothing to do with Li Jie, because in this era, the marriages of children were handled by their parents. Instead, Li Jie, as the party involved, had nothing to do, so Li Jie didn't care about it. Anyway, it was just an engagement now, and the date of the actual marriage would have to be decided by the Imperial Heaven Supervision. It is estimated that this depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning.
Li Jie entered the palace and came to the main hall. He thought that Zhu Yunyu should not be there. After all, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue needed his training and probably wouldn't see anyone these days. But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Yunyu was sitting in his seat. However, when he saw him coming in, he seemed a little angry, and even turned his head aside and did not look at him.
In contrast, Zhu Yunwen looked at him with a rather strange look, and finally spoke up: "You really want to marry your elder sister?"
"Your Majesty's marriage order has been issued, so of course it is impossible to regret it again!" Li Jie replied with a smile.
"Hmph~" Zhu Yunxiu next to him snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction, and his little head turned to the side, not even looking at Li Jie. It seemed that he was angry with him, but he wanted to attract Li Jie's attention.
Although Li Jie guessed Zhu Yunxiu's thoughts, he laughed secretly and ignored him.
However, at this time, Zhu Yunwen looked at Li Jie with a sympathetic look and said again: "You are really... really..., forget it, I hope you will be blessed!"
Zhu Yunwen had been using a long time, but he didn't expect to use any suitable adjectives. Although he didn't like Li Jie, he still felt a little sympathetic to Li Jie when he wanted to marry his elder sister. After all, in his eyes, his sister had a fierce and strong personality, and such a woman was definitely not a good match.
Li Jie smiled and said nothing when he heard this. No matter what kind of person the Princess Danyang was, he had to marry him. After all, compared to the happiness of marriage, the lives of himself and his family are more important.
At this moment, Grand Secretary Xu, who was in charge of the lecture, came in. Li Jie and the others did not dare to speak anymore. The three of them sat upright and listened to the lecture. However, today the three seemed to have their own thoughts and were not very serious when listening to the lecture. Even Zhu Yunwen answered a few questions wrong, which caused Grand Secretary Xu to scold him.
After finally getting the class over, Zhu Yunwen packed his things and left first, but Zhu Yunhe still sat still, as if waiting for Li Jie to talk to him on his own initiative, but Li Jie was not accustomed to him, but instead began packing up his things and preparing to leave.
Now Zhu Yunxiu could not help it, and immediately turned his head and stared at Li Jie and questioned: "You can't marry my eldest sister!"
"Why?" Li Jie looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile and asked back.
"No, it's not possible, there's no reason!" Zhu Yunxiu was also anxious and blushed. Anyway, he just didn't want his elder sister to get married.
"Okay, if I don't marry your elder sister, do you want her to never get married for the rest of her life and then live alone?" Li Jie asked with a smile again.
He understood Zhu Yunxi's mood. After all, the eldest sister who has always depended on him wants to marry someone else. As a younger brother, Zhu Yunxi will certainly reject it instinctively. If an adult encounters such a problem, he will definitely accept it rationally. Unfortunately, Zhu Yunxi is still a child, so it is normal that it is not easy to think about it for a while.
"I...I don't mean that!" Zhu Yunxiu also hurriedly denied when he heard this.
"What do you mean? Do you think I am not worthy of your sister?" Li Jie asked with a smile again.
"I...I don't mean that either!" Zhu Yunxiu shook his head again, his face turned redder. He just felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't say what was uncomfortable.
"That's it. Your sister will marry someone sooner or later. Instead of marrying someone you don't understand, why can't you marry me? Do you still trust my character?" Li Jie asked again at the end. He had already made it clear. If Zhu Yunqiu couldn't figure it out, he had no choice.
Zhu Yunyu finally fell silent when he heard this. When he heard that his sister gave Li Jie a marriage, he couldn't believe it, and even got angry with Li Jie. But now that he calmed down, he felt that Li Jie's words made sense. Compared to others, he felt that Li Jie was more suitable to be his brother-in-law.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't be angry with Li Bandu!" In the end, Zhu Yunqi finally figured it out and immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Li Jie.
"It's great to know that you can correct your mistakes, but you should change your words, call me brother-in-law and listen!" Of course, Li Jie would not care about these things with a child, and said half-jokingly at the end.
"Sister...Sister..." Zhu Yunxi took it seriously, but "Sister" didn't have the nerve to shout after a long time.
