Chapter 1360: Confused Account (Part 2)

Li Xiu and Li Zhi had lunch at Yizi. Speaking of which, Yizi's cooking skills were quite good. Li Zhi also ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, but he was busy with government affairs and had something to deal with in the afternoon, so he left after lunch. Li Xiu was going to leave, but he was stopped by Yizi.

"Are you angry with me?" Yizi accompanied Li Xiu to the outside of the hall and asked while walking, with a look of miserable expression on her face. She grew up with Li Xiu since she was a child. She was named a teacher and student, but in fact she looked more like a father and daughter. However, due to some things in recent years, Li Xiu rarely visited her.

"I'm not angry with you, but you and Ning An are too willful, and I don't even know what to say to you, so I avoid meeting you." Li Xiu sighed at this time.

Hearing Li Xiu's answer, Yizi showed a sad expression and said, "I know that the teacher wants me to get married, but my health also knows that even if I marry, it is not appropriate to have children. I don't have the courage to sacrifice my life for my fifth sister, so even if I marry, it will probably only make my husband's family dissatisfied. Since that's the case, I simply don't marry. Ning'an's children are my children, so I think it's good for us to do this now."

"But...but you have chosen a very difficult road. Even if you are a princess, you may be criticized in the future!" Li Xiu felt ache when he heard the words of Yizi and spoke again.

"I know, but the gentleman did not teach us. Women also have the right to choose their own life. I don't want to marry someone who blames me in the future, nor do I want to marry someone I don't like. Ning An just understood me again, so we made the original agreement." Yizi said softly at this time, but the expression on her face was very firm.

"Forget it, since you have chosen this path, I won't say anything. But even if His Majesty helps you block the news, you should be careful. After all, it is not good for you to spread this matter." Li Xiu sighed helplessly. He also encouraged the cultivation of the personality of these children, but now Yizi is really very personal and decided not to marry for the rest of her life.

"Thank you for your advice. Only Mr. and Brother Jiu know about us. Others don't know about it, let alone what if others know it, let alone who dares to say it randomly?" When Yizi said it at the end, she showed a confident expression. As Li Zhi's favorite sister, she does have this confidence.

Hearing Eizi's words, Li Xiu shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he asked Eizi about her recent situation with concern, and Eizi also answered one by one. Finally, Li Xiu invited her to walk around her more. The children at home missed her very much, and Eizi also agreed with tears in her eyes.

It was getting late, and Li Xiu said goodbye and left, but just as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw Ning An taking three children onto the carriage. It seemed that she was also going home to visit her relatives today, and she was preparing to go back.

"Father!" Seeing Li Xiu come back, Ning An hurriedly saluted him, but his face was a little unnatural. However, the three children were scrambling to call him "grandfather", which made Li Xiu laugh.

"I'm going to Yizi's place today!" After Li Xiu greeted the child, he suddenly turned his head and spoke to Ning An. However, Ning An trembled when he heard this, and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Renjie did a good job in Dali Temple, but he has been here for less time in the past two years. Isn't he forgetting me as a gentleman when he becomes an official? You ask him to come to me for more when he has time, so as not to suddenly disappear one day, and you can't even see me if you want to see me!" Li Xiu sighed at this time, then patted Ning An on the shoulder and said.

"Father!" Ning An also showed an excited expression when he heard Li Xiu take the initiative to ask Di Renjie to come to his house for more than one visit, and even tears came out. Although the three of them did not do anything to be sorry for others, they just always felt sorry for Li Xiu's teachings, so Di Renjie often said that he had no shame to see Li Xiu.

"When did our female general become a crying child?" Li Xiu laughed again at this time, but Ning An burst into tears when he heard this. Since she married Di Renjie, no one has said that she is a female general for a long time.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Ning An chatted a few more, and then made a few more jokes with the three children. Ning An gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Di Renjie. The oldest was five years old and the youngest was only one year old, but he could speak. The one who was very fun to learn and speak, and he was close to Li Xiu, so he refused to let go when he held him.

It was getting late, and Ning'an's family lived in Chang'an City. It was mainly because Di Renjie was transferred from the local area to Chang'an two years ago. He is now the Minister of Dali Temple and is very busy with official duties, so he bought a yard in Chang'an City. However, whenever Ning'an has time, he will take his children back to his parents' home. Of course, he mainly wanted the three children to study with Li Xiu since childhood.

After seeing off his daughter, Li Xiu returned home to rest. It was time to have dinner at this time. However, he had dinner at Yizi's place late today and was not too hungry at this time. However, he still had some food with his family. However, after the meal, he came to the yard where Ang Lee and Lizhi lived.

"Father, what's the matter with me?" Ang Lee accompanied Li Xiu to his study and asked.

"Yes, has anything happened in the court during this period?" Li Xiu nodded at this time, then asked.

"Yes, because Your Majesty wants to reform the imperial examinations during this period, the court has been quarreled, and many people have opposed it, but Your Majesty has made up his mind. Even if those people make a big noise, it is useless!" Ang Lee replied immediately.

Li Xiu also heard from Li Zhi about the reform of the imperial examination. Because Li Zhi felt that there were too few subjects in the imperial examination and wanted to add some subjects passed by Li Xiu to the imperial examination. In addition, the process of the imperial examination also needed to be changed. As a result, this aroused the opposition of many ministers. However, although Li Zhi was not as tough as Li Shimin, he was not a person who retreated easily. So this time he was determined to reform the imperial examination, and no matter how many people opposed it, it would be useless.

Li Xiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "What is your eldest uncle in this matter?"

When Li Xiu asked about Changsun Wuji, Ang Lee was stunned for a moment, and then he answered: "Uncle Changsun's attitude towards this matter is very vague. Although he did not object, he did not support it, but..."
