Dots of lights and starlight intersect in the mortal world, giving brilliance to the darkness.
Chongli Street, the Li family’s new house has not yet opened its doors.
Li Qi sat on the table, devouring the food sent by his mother Deng. He was really evil. He checked the house all day long and found that no water or rice had been eaten.
This new house is where he and Princess Jin will live after they get married. It is so splendid that it may not be gorgeous enough.
Mrs. Deng looked at her son who was devouring the rice fondly, and gently poured a bowl of soup. "Everything about this house is good, but its popularity will not be so popular for a while. Look back, I will put some stoves at home to cook."
My mother-in-law sent me here, firstly, to increase my popularity, and secondly, because you are used to eating at home, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat well!”
Li Qi raised her head and smiled, swallowing the last thing, "I still like the food you cooked!"
"Sons naturally like mother's cooking!" Mrs. Deng smiled, but in a blink of an eye her eyes turned red and she choked, "In a blink of an eye, you are married. After you have a daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law will take care of you, and your mother will step aside.
....."
"Mother!" Li Qi quickly put down her chopsticks and stood up.
"Really, you women, why are you crying on your big day?" Li Jinglong, who was sitting opposite Li Qi, glanced at his wife, "When he gets married, he will no longer be your son? You are crying, he is getting married, not...
..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Deng pinched his arm fiercely, "He is the flesh that fell off my body!"
After a word, Li Jinglong was speechless.
Poor parents in the world, the family has been harmonious and beautiful all these years, and in the blink of an eye, the son will live alone with the princess. From then on, they are the only old couple in the Li family, and this feeling is a bit empty.
"Take it!" Li Jinglong sighed, took out a few deeds from his sleeves and handed them over.
"Dad, this is...hiss..."
Li Qi took it and took a look, and immediately took a breath of air.
At the top are three farm deeds, all of which are located in several counties under the capital's jurisdiction, including farms in Fengyang Zhongdu, totaling a total of 1,200 hectares.
Looking back again, my eyes suddenly widened again.
Those thick ones at the back are all banknotes redeemed on sight by Dade Tong, the largest bank in Quanzhou. A rough look shows that the total adds up to a huge sum of 1.5 million.
"What are you...?" Li Qi looked at Li Jinglong, full of confusion.
"That's all your father can do. I'll give you this little bit of family wealth today." Li Jinglong whispered, "It takes money to support the family. We don't have to worry if we have enough money. You can just withdraw these things when you want to use them. How do you spend it?"
You have the final say!”
"No..." Li Qi was a little confused, "Why did you give me these?"
"Have a good life!" Li Jinglong laughed and scolded, "I have prepared it for you a few years ago, why is it too little?"
Li Qi's hands were trembling as she held these banknotes, "But...this is too much..."
"After you get married, we will separate our families!"
After Li Jinglong finished speaking, Li Qi stood up with a screeching sound, almost knocking over the food she was sitting on in her panic.
"Father, why?" Li Qi asked anxiously, "It doesn't make sense? You and your mother are here, what kind of family will your son be divided into? It has always been only brothers who divide their families. How can a son separate from me?"
"Sit there! You're so frizzy!" Li Jinglong glanced at his son, "How many times have I told you, don't panic when something happens, just be quiet, do you understand?"
Then, he sighed, "Do you know why the banknote I gave you is from Dadetong?"
Li Qi shook her head.
"The banknotes over there are authenticated but not the person!" Li Jinglong said, "No one can detect the anonymous deposits and withdrawals! It's not like our bank in the Ministry of Accounts, where the eighteen generations of ancestors who have paid and deposited money can be traced for you!
"
"There are also these farms that I have bought one after another in other people's names in the past few years. Although your name is not on the land deed, no one dares to steal your property because of your current status as a county horse! Look back.
After you get married, everything you think of will be in the name of the princess, which will make you feel at ease!"
"Father, are you..." Li Qi's heart skipped a beat.
"The big tree attracts the wind!" Li Jinglong glanced at his son and said seriously, "After we separate, if anything happens to me in the future, you won't be implicated!"
"What are you talking about? Why is my son so upset?" Li Qi asked in surprise.
Li Jinglong smiled and said, "It's better to be prepared early than not prepared at all!" He said and smiled again, "After the separation, you can live your life in a down-to-earth manner and be honest.
Work as an errand for the Crown Prince!"
"Dad!" Li Qi suddenly threw the thick banknotes and land deeds in his hands on the table, "What on earth are you talking about? I am your son, how can we separate the family? Even if we separate, we are not a family.
?”
"We are a family, but we are not a family. To be precise, after the separation, you and the princess are a family." Li Jinglong smiled and looked at his son again, with a look of helplessness on his face.
~~
"Our family has reached its peak!"
Mrs. Deng warmed a pot of wine for the two of them, and Li Jinglong sipped it, "I am the hereditary and irreplaceable Duke of the country. You will have a bright future with the Crown Prince. A country or a family will always have its peaks and declines!"
Li Qi still sat in confusion, with a confused look on her face.
"Silly boy, you are so damn stupid!" Li Jinglong scolded with a fond smile, "You don't understand this?" He said, shaking his head and said, "If you and I live another twenty years, I will be the most senior in the court and the most senior official in the court."
First of all, in twenty years you will also become a close confidant of the Crown Prince. How many people will be jealous of the young and old of our Li family?"
"Outsiders look at this solid wealth, but only when we are in it, we know how frightening it is! Let me put it bluntly, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. When the time comes, whether it is the emperor or the prince, look
He doesn’t have any thoughts about this behemoth like our Li family?”
"Separating the family is the best way. Not only should the family be divided, but after you get married, don't get too close to your father. In the future, when you become an official, you will listen to me everywhere. Remember, you will be whatever the prince says in the future.
Whatever you do, you treat the Crown Prince as your father!"
No matter how stupid children from official families are, they are naturally sensitive in these aspects.
Li Qi knew what his father meant. After the separation, even if the Li family was in trouble in the future, the father and son would not fall to the ground at the same time.
"My son thinks that you are overthinking. I am your son!" Li Qi smiled bitterly, "No matter how you say it, we are both biological father and son. Even if we separate, they are still not the same..."
"Do you really think that the Supreme Emperor pointed out the princess of King Jin to you because of his whim?" Li Jinglong glanced at Li Qi, "I kowtowed to you many times to ask for that, and it was also the last thing that the Supreme Emperor gave to our family.
of grace!”
"Do you think I want you to marry someone from your ancestors? You are my son, and I can't wait to choose a wife for you who has the most virtuous, beautiful and good family background in the world. Who the hell cares about the horse master of Laoshizi County?"
"Yizhi, King of Jin, is the direct descendant of the Supreme Emperor. No matter how you say it, it belongs to the Emperor's uncle's family. The marriage was ordered by the Supreme Emperor. This is your amulet. In the future, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, it will be a gold medal for immunity from death!"
"Let me put it bluntly, even if our house is raided in the future, not a single hair will be left behind. But with your status as the grandson-in-law of the Supreme Emperor, no one will dare to raid your house."
