Chapter 59: Ambition Gradually Rise (1)

Time passed by and two months passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the third day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Taiping.

The weather was cold, so Li Xun hid in bed and didn't want to get up.

Li Mancang opened the door and walked in with a bowl of hot soup.

"You brat, why did you drink so much wine yesterday?"

While blaming, Li Mancang helped Li Xun sit up and handed the hot soup to his hand: "Drink the hot soup and warm your stomach. You vomited all over yesterday, so don't hurt your body."

"My brother was happy when he got married, so he couldn't control himself and drank a few more drinks."

Li Xun muttered something and drank the hot soup slowly.

Yesterday was Yu Guang's big day. He, who is half a year younger than Li Xun, finally got married. The bride is from the manor. She is pretty good-looking and is said to have a very gentle and kind personality. Yu Guang has liked her for several years.

In the end, someone came to propose marriage. The bride's parents knew about the relationship between Yu Guang and Li Xun, and agreed directly without saying a word. As a brother, Li Xun was not stingy, and gave him three hundred acres of fertile land, plus five hundred taels of silver.

Enough spare time to live a well-off life.

Zhu Zhengguo was not bad either. He made many meritorious deeds in the battle of Jiangnan, including killing several enemies. When discussing military merits, Li Xun mentioned this, but Huang Jian didn't say anything and wrote Zhu Zhengguo's name in the military merits book. Therefore,

He was promoted to the rank of Lang Jiang, and Yan Yi was born with extraordinary strength. He killed an opponent's Lieutenant General on the battlefield, and was promoted to the rank of Colonel for his merit.

Several good brothers got married and got promoted, and they were all on the right track. Li Xun was so happy that he drank with them until midnight, and everyone was drunk and unconscious.

After Li Xun finished drinking the hot soup in the bowl, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Yu Guang's bad appearance last night: "That boy Yu Guang was even drunker than me. I'm afraid he couldn't get into the bridal chamber last night. His wife shouldn't complain.

us."

"You also know that this is not good. It delays others and hurts yourself. It will be noon soon. Hurry up and get dressed and eat."

Li Mancang glared at his son, took the bowl and walked out of the room.

Li Xun smiled, opened the quilt, and began to get dressed.

"Brother Gou'er, are you dressed?"

Xiaolian's voice sounded outside the door.

"Get dressed, come in!"

Xiaolian opened the door and walked in with hot water and cloth.

Li Xun wiped his face with a cotton cloth, and had some vague impressions in his mind. He came back drunk yesterday, and Xiao Lian was waiting on him. He seemed to have done some things to him that he shouldn't have done, and said some things that he shouldn't have said.

Li Xun looked at Xiaolian and found that she was looking straight at him with a shy look on her face.

"Haha, Xiaolian, why are you looking at me?"

Li Xun's face became hot and red, and he smiled awkwardly.

"I...I didn't look at you."

Xiaolian's face turned red, she took the basin and trotted away.

Li Xun gave a wry smile and looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am almost twenty years old too. Xiaolian is so beautiful and moving, but I can only look at it but not eat it. The old man is very strict and doesn't allow me to fool around outside. This kind of suffering

When will the days end?"

Li Xun had had several girlfriends in the previous world and had already tasted the joy. In this world, life was getting better and better, but he was subject to more constraints.

He shook his head and walked out of the room. A gust of cold wind blew by. Li Xun shrank his neck and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell is the weather? Why is it so cold?"

When we arrived in the living room, the food had not been served yet, but two large basins of white rice were already placed on the table, which were prepared for Jiang Daxiong.

Li Mancang liked Jiang Daxiong very much, and felt that with such a person by Li Xun's side, his son's safety would not have to worry about, so during normal meals, Li Xun asked Jiang Daxiong to eat with him at the same table, and Li Mancang had no objection.

"Boss, you're up."

Li Xun turned around and saw Jiang Daxiong walking in with a big broom.

"Big Bear, was it you who carried me back last night?"

Jiang Daxiong nodded and put the broom in the corner.

Everyone was drinking wine last night, but Jiang Daxiong fell asleep. It wasn't that he couldn't drink, but that the wine tasted too bland for him and was boring to drink, so he might as well sleep.

After a while, the food was served and Li Mancang arrived. Everyone sat down and started eating.

"Old man, where is Xiaolian?"

Li Mancang filled the rice, shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's eat first. If she's hungry, there are pastries in the kitchen."

Li Xun nodded and said nothing more.

I drank too much last night and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. Li Xun didn't eat anything but drank some porridge.

"Old man, I'm a little dizzy. I'm going back to my room to continue sleeping."

Li Xun put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and left.

When I walked to the door, I met Dahei.

"Master, Mr. Fan Zhongyun is here and is waiting in the living room."

Is Lao Fan here?

Li Xun came to the living room and saw Fan Zhongyun sitting there drinking tea. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Old Fan, at this time, you are no longer eating at home, why are you coming to my place?"

"As an ordinary citizen, if I miss one meal, what does it matter?"

Fan Zhongyun smiled and opened a package on the table. There were two porcelain bottles inside: "These are pickles made by Xiaoman himself. I will give you two bottles to taste."

"Since my sister-in-law made it, it must taste very delicious. I have taken it orally."

Li Xun smiled and nodded, then sat next to Fan Zhongyun, and also picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun and said softly: "Li Xun, it has been more than two months since you joined the Yulin Guard. With such a small official, do you still want to keep doing it?"

"I don't care whether you are a high official or a small official. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle."

Li Xun shrugged. He really didn't care about the size of his official position.

Fan Zhongyun shook his head and sighed: "Li Xun, why don't you have any sense of crisis? If this continues, I'm afraid one day a disaster will come and you won't even know anything about it."

Li Xun was stunned and asked in confusion: "Old Fan, what do you mean by this?"

"Li Xun, what kind of situation do you think you will be in in three to five years?"

Li Xun thought for a while and said: "What else can it be like? With food and drink, life will definitely be better than now."

"You are really optimistic."

Fan Zhongyun stood up, looked directly at Li Xun, and asked with a serious face: "The current Holy Emperor is already fifty-six years old. In three to five years, he will be over sixty. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there are few people who can live to be sixty years old."

There are only a handful of emperors. If Zhao Shuo becomes the crown prince, once he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, Li Xun, can you still live such a leisurely life?"

Li Xun frowned. His aunt Li Yi once said this, and now Fan Zhongyun also said it. Li Xun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Fan Zhongyun did not interrupt Li Xun's meditation and stood there quietly.

After a while, Li Xun stood up, glanced at Fan Zhongyun, and said silently: "Zhao Shuo and Zhao Xun are brothers. Isn't it the same whoever becomes the emperor?"
