Chapter 47 Don't Speak Foolishly
The eldest sister, Li Yunning, was probably the future Princess Pingyang Zhao, the only princess to be buried with military honors.

Li Yunning is the eldest daughter in the family. Except for her eldest brother Li Xiaoyan who is of similar age to her, she has taken the rest of her brothers to play since they were young, so she has a deep relationship with them.

Although she was a woman, she was very strong. Riding and shooting were child's play for her.

Li Yunning stretched out his hand and flicked Li Yuanhui's forehead in dissatisfaction, "Why, you don't recognize me now that you've become a Tiger Guard General?"

"Sister, what are you talking about? I haven't seen you for several years. I was stunned for a moment," Li Yuanhui said with an embarrassed smile.

Li Yuanning glared at him and introduced the majestic man next to him: "This is your brother-in-law Chai Rong. You have forgotten me, so you probably forget your brother-in-law even more, right?"

".Meet my brother-in-law"

Li Yuanhui didn't pay much attention to the fact that his brother-in-law was called Chai Rong at first. Since time and space were confused, it was normal to change his name.

It should be Chai Shao in history.

Later I learned that there was already Zhao Da in this time and space, so it makes sense to have Chai Rong, right?

Besides, Chai Rong is not Guo Rong. Let me emphasize again that Zhou Shizong was called Guo Rong.
"Silang, you have really grown up. I remember when you went to Luoyang with your father-in-law, you were only this tall and less than ten years old."

Chai Rong was tall and handsome, and his appearance was obviously very good, otherwise he would not have been able to marry the daughter of the Li family. He wore a lapel robe, a futou, and a neatly trimmed beard.

My brother-in-law Chai Rong was also very famous in Chang'an. When he was young, he was well-known in the village for his agility and bravery, and for his love of standing up for the weak and defending the strong. He had a chivalrous spirit.

He is currently the left commander of Hanguang Gate, in charge of the gate guards. At an age of over 20, he holds this important position through his own efforts. It has nothing to do with the fact that his father is Chai Shen, the Duke of Julu County and the deputy governor of Yongzhou.

In addition to my eldest sister and brother-in-law, there was one more person.

During the two months that Li Yuanhui went out to fight, his third brother Li Xuanqing got married.

Li Sanlang introduced the two people, "This is my fourth brother Yuanhui, and Silang, this is your third sister-in-law."

Li Yuanhui bowed respectfully and said, "Meet the Third Sister-in-law."

"No need to be so polite, Shiro."

The third sister-in-law was from the Xue family in Hedong, and her name was Xue Han. The engagement had been arranged long ago. She was the granddaughter of Xue Daoqian, the great Confucian scholar who served as the chief priest of the Imperial College. Her father was Xue Zhen, who served as the left picker of the Ministry of Personnel and was well-known for his integrity and famous for his articles.

Although she was already dressed as a woman, she was still a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, looking younger than Murong Jiayin. There was a strong sense of contrast when she stood in front of her third brother, who was tall, strong and majestic.

This also resulted in that at the family dinner, only Li Si, who was sitting below Li Yuan in the host seat, was alone, while his brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law were all in harmony.

I was just thinking that this must be a case of dog abuse, but then I thought about it and realized that it was not right. Li Si also has a fiancée, not a lone wolf.

It was a rare occasion that so many family members were present, and Li Yuan was in high spirits. He raised his glass frequently and talked about the New Year and Li Silang's marriage after the New Year.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the family banquet ended, and Li Yuanhui and his brothers said goodbye to his sister and brother-in-law. Then he returned to the main courtyard where his father lived.

Li Yuan could drink a lot and was drinking tea in the study room at that time. When he heard the maid say that Silang had come, he knew that he must have something important to say, so he sent everyone away.

When Li Yuanhui saw that everyone had left, he told Li Yuan about his meeting with Zhao Er in Junyi.

"I am willing to assist the Tang public in their great cause."

After hearing this, Li Yuan sat up from the couch, completely losing his previous calmness, and looked at Li Yuanhui with a sharp gaze. I don't know if it was because the floor heating in the room was too hot, so there was some sweat on his forehead. Li Yuanhui responded to this father's gaze, and did not avoid it at all.

"Silang, what was your previous connection with Zhao Er?"

"Zhao Er and Zhao San and I are of similar age, so we have some friendship. Later, when we suppressed the Yang Xun Rebellion, we were both in the Gaoyang King's court. I was a military officer and he was a secretary, so we worked together, but other than that, we didn't have much in common."

After listening to this, Li Yuan frowned and asked, "Have you ever told him about the family affairs?"

"Never."

"Then in your opinion, what does this Zhao Yi mean? What kind of person is he?"

Li Yuanhui thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Zhao Yi, the Left General, is extremely brave and well-versed in military affairs. The Zhao family has been following the emperor for a long time and is trusted by three emperors. He has made many friends in the central army and has great ambitions. We need to be careful with this person. Don't let him give people a chance to talk about it."

Li Yuan did not comment on this and continued to ask, "So what do you think of the fate of our Great Yan?"

Li Yuanhui shook his head when he heard this question, but said nothing. Does Dayan still have national destiny?
"Today, there are only you and I here, father and son. I won't hide it from you. Over the years, I have recruited many talented people. Some of them are descendants of old friends. Their families have fallen on hard times, and I often help them. I don't have any heroic ambitions. You may be more cautious in your future actions and don't speak rashly. Although the world is now full of smoke of war, the court is still in its heyday."

Li Si listened and nodded repeatedly, but thought to himself, this old man is really boring. After talking to this point, he is still pretending to be nice, right?
However, there are some things that my dad is right about.

They cannot show up at this time. The million-strong army of Dayan is not a pushover, and the Li family does not have the confidence to rise up.

"Okay, don't tell anyone else about what happened today, not even your brothers, understand?"

Li Yuan was still very satisfied with Silang's reaction. Although he had some thoughts, and had been accumulating connections in the court for so many years, making friends with court officials, and on the other hand, he also took in many down-and-out noble children. But many people do these things, which rich family does not adopt retainers? These cannot be regarded as evidence of disloyalty.

But some of the secret thoughts in my heart were seen through, and I was a little panicked for a moment.

"Yes, Aye, I understand."

Li Yuanhui returned to his own courtyard from Li Yuan's main courtyard. The house with floor heating was very warm and much more comfortable than the military camp.

Tan'er also asked someone to prepare hot water for her to take a bath in a large wooden tub. It was simply comfortable.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you've been eating well these past two months. Or is it because of the change in climate and water? How come you've gained weight compared to before I left for the expedition?"

"Have you gained weight? No?"

Tan'er was still speaking seriously, but when she saw the direction his eyes were fixed on, she immediately blushed.

"Pooh."

She spat softly, picked up his changed clothes and walked away.

Li Yuanhui chuckled as he looked at her already curvaceous back. The little girl was shy and didn't continue teasing him.

Don't rush to eat this kind of meat at your lips, wait for it to grow.

In fact, in terms of aesthetics, Li Yuanhui is a man with a strong Jian'an style. Who doesn't want to be a Cao thief?

This is called the legacy of Wei Wu.
