Dafujin stared at Li Zhen, a look of dissatisfaction flashed in his narrow eyes. She is a royal noble, with the blood of the Aisin Gioro family flowing in her body. She should be superior to others when she is born. She cannot be compared to ordinary people. She is still Guiliang's The first wife is the wife of a minister. With these two identities, Dafujin was extremely disgusted with Li Zhen's words.
The superiors and inferiors respect each other, and the people just want to be humble.
Zhilan stood behind Dafujin, clasping her hands and her heart beating wildly. She originally thought that the meeting between her parents and Li Zhen would be a good scene, but now that it has turned out like this, she is already full of worry.
Guiliang's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still didn't speak.
As long as Han Laiyu can attend the wedding, he doesn't care about the rest.
Dafujin was dissatisfied with Li Zhen's words and said in a deep voice: "Zhilan wants to marry you. This is your blessing Li Zhen. The emperor has already granted the marriage, so you can't care about the people. The most important task now is to arrange the marriage." As for the matter, wait until you get married before solving the flood. Between Zhilan and the people, you can only choose one, either marry Zhilan or save the people."
Li Zhen's anger surged, almost to the point of going crazy.
It's really hard to meet the best mother-in-law.
Li Zhengang wanted to scold Dafujin, but when he saw Zhilan's embarrassed look, he sighed in his heart. He was not happy, but it was even more uncomfortable for Zhilan to be caught in the middle.
Li Zhen glanced at Guiliang and saw that the old man had an expression that had nothing to do with him. He was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.
This old guy obviously wants to watch a show.
Li Zhen took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said sincerely: "Mother-in-law, Zhilan and I are definitely going to get married, but the people also need to be rescued. This is not an either/or choice. It's about having your cake and eat it too. What's happening in Guangzhou right now In floods, human lives are at stake, and saving people is like putting out fires. I cannot give up on the people of Guangzhou. No matter what you decide, I will not change my mind."
After hearing this, Zhilan felt relieved.
She was afraid that Li Zhen would be angry and say that he would give up getting married and choose the people. Now that Li Zhen has chosen, Zhilan has no complaints in her heart. Zhilan and Li Zhen have been in Guangzhou and have seen the tragic situation of the people affected by the disaster. They agree with Li Zhenxian's mission to rescue the people. view.
Dafujin said coldly: "Without my consent, you would never marry Zhilan."
Li Zhen counterattacked: "Dafujin may have forgotten one thing. The marriage between Zhilan and I is not something you can interfere with. This is a marriage granted by the emperor. If you don't obey the emperor's order, you will be disobeying the decree and disrespecting it."
Dafujin immediately said: "If you don't marry Zhilan, you are disobeying the decree and being disrespectful."
Li Zhen said: "Dafujin said something wrong again. I said I would definitely marry Zhilan, so I obeyed the emperor's order. The emperor only said to grant a marriage, but did not determine the time of the marriage. I set the time of the marriage to Adjusting it a little later will not affect it. Besides, the country is the most important thing and the people come first. When the people suffer from disasters, the people's problems must be solved first."
When Dafujin heard this, he suddenly became speechless.
Li Zhen did not disobey the emperor's order, but took advantage of the undetermined time.
Zhilan said softly: "Mother, my daughter has been living in Guangzhou. She went to the hospital to see the people affected by the disaster. They are homeless and their relatives have lost their lives. It is very pitiful."
At this time, Guiliang also suddenly intervened and said: "A man should put his career first. I agree with Li Zhen to solve the difficulties of the people in the city first, and then get married. This matter is settled."
"Thank you very much, father-in-law."
Li Zhen did not expect that Guiliang would suddenly intervene, and was extremely happy in his heart.
Dafujin looked at Guiliang, then looked back at Zhilan. The two men were talking together. How could she object? Dafujin opened his mouth but was speechless. He could only glare at Guiliang fiercely and said: "I don't care, you decide for yourself."
After saying that, Da Fujin turned around and left.
Zhilan felt happy and left happily with Dafujin.
Next, Guiliang and Li Zhen returned to the topic, talking about the situation between North Korea and China. Similarly, Han Laiyu also warned Li Zhen to let Li Zhen find out Xianfeng's temper and make sure not to make mistakes. The two explained to Li Zhen one after another , and then they all left the Admiral's Mansion and lived outside the Admiral's Mansion.
Li Zhen's persuasion was fruitless and he could only agree.
However, Li Zhen knew that he would bleed again this time.
Ordinary eunuchs who delivered orders came to Guangzhou, and Li Zhen sent them out in various amounts ranging from three to five thousand taels, but Han Laiyu, the chief eunuch, came. Li Zhen could not treat Han Laiyu as an ordinary eunuch, so it would definitely cost countless money. Li Zhen found him Ye Chengzhong ordered Ye Chengzhong to deliver gifts and deal with Han Laiyu's affairs.
Li Zhen took care of the affairs of Guiliang and Han Laiyu, and then prepared to deal with the affairs of the common people.
Even now, it is still raining heavily.
Under this situation, Li Zhen did not dare to relax at all and always paid attention to the safety of the people. Just as Li Zheng was about to return to his study, Li Xiaotong entered the Admiral's Mansion and came to the hall.
Li Xiaotong said with a smile: "Brother, I sold Huaibi Tower."
Although he was smiling, Li Zhen saw the reluctance and nostalgia in Li Xiaotong's eyes. Huaibi Tower was built by Li Xiaotong with all his efforts and countless thoughts. Now Li Xiaotong has sold Huaibi Tower and put Huaibi Tower away. If you give up everything, you will definitely not be able to let go of it, and you will still feel a touch of sadness.
However, Li Xiaotong had no choice for Wang Xiaoyang and Li Zhen.
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and joked with a smile: "Sister sold Huaibi House and took Huan'er and Uncle Li home. Let's have a baby at home. I'm ready to be an uncle."
A flash of shame flashed across Li Xiaotong's face, and he immediately changed the subject and said: "Huaibi Tower was transferred and received a total of five hundred thousand taels of silver. My sister donated all five hundred thousand taels of silver to help the suffering people."
When Li Zhen heard this, his heart felt warm and his eyes felt a little sore.
A big part of the reason that prompted Li Xiaotong to transfer Huaibi Tower so quickly was him. Li Zhen smiled and said: "Sister, let's live in the Admiral's Mansion for the time being. Anyway, Liu Die is still living in the house when she is pregnant. Sister can ask her Please ask for advice and prepare for the future.”
Li Xiaotong said without hesitation: "Okay, I will live in the Admiral's Mansion temporarily."
There was also a look of expectation in her eyes. Whether it was for Li Xiaotong herself or as Wang Xiaoyang's woman, she would eventually have children. Now that she was getting along with Liu Die, she could understand in advance.
Li Zhen added: "Sister, I just received the imperial edict and have become the governor of Guangdong and concurrently the admiral..."
"Okay, sister knows that younger brother is the most powerful."
Before Li Zhen could finish what he said, Li Xiaotong interrupted him with half of his words, and then said with a look of emotion on his face: "My younger brother has risen to great heights and has a prosperous official career. The Li family has really shone brightly. When my younger brother continues to make contributions, then he can return to the family." In Beijing, it is a great honor to become the auxiliary minister beside the emperor."
Li Zhen curled his lips, he would definitely not give up his military power and go to the imperial court.
Li Zhen smiled and continued: "In addition to appointing me as the governor of Guangdong, the emperor also gave another imperial edict to grant marriage to Zhilan and me. Zhilan's parents followed the emperor's eunuch Han Laiyu to Guangzhou and began to work on it. We are preparing to get married. When the floods are over, I will get married to Zhilan."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Li Xiaotong stood up excitedly and said: "You are married, and your parents can rest assured underground. A sister is like a mother. Since Zhilan's parents have arrived in Guangzhou, I, the elder sister, should pay a visit. I can't lose my etiquette. It happens that there is still some time left, so I can discuss the marriage with Zhilan's parents."
Li Zhen put his hand on his forehead, but he didn't expect Li Xiaotong to be so active.
Depending on the situation, Li Xiaotong cannot be stopped.
Li Zhen explained the situation clearly and honestly, and then he saw Li Xiaotong holding the skirt of her skirt in both hands and running out of the Admiral's Mansion with small steps, preparing to meet Zhilan's parents.
