Li Yuanji didn't get an answer from Xu Zhe, so he went to discuss it with his cronies.

"Isn't your family rich? Buying a few more shops, or renting a few acres of land, how big is it? It's not easy to make money?"

"My elder brother won't let me go." Li Yuanji said.

He thought so too, but Xu Zhe didn't agree.Li Yuanji asked why, and Xu Zhi explained for a long time what land annexation was. Although he was not in a high position and couldn't control so much, he couldn't make mistakes.

Moreover, Li Yuanji has no real power, and if he has more assets, he will be easily remembered by others, which is not a good thing.

Li Yuanji was confused and didn't understand what it meant.But he has always focused on Xu Zhe, since Xu Zhe said it can't be done, then it must be no way, just think of another way.

Hearing Li Yuanji say this, his friends laughed at him, "How old are you, and you still listen to your elder brother like that? I'm not so honest with my grandfather."

"I don't see your brother go out. How old is he older than you? Is he an old man with a white beard? He teaches you all day long?"

Li Yuanji said: "My eldest brother is in full bloom, where are you thinking! Another day, please come to see the cat at home, and recognize my brother by the way, then you will know how good my brother is."

Everyone booed: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, your home is not far away, why not just today!"

"Well, if you have a cat you like, you can also take it away with you."

Li Yuanji returned home with a group of young men in their teens and 20s.Several teenagers knew where Li Yuanji's house was, but they had never been there.It's just a very ordinary alley, the outside is quite old, not inconspicuous at all.

But when I came here today, I saw a few strong men surrounded by the door.

These people wear uniform clothes.The color is very dark, embroidered with patterns, the fabric is very good at first glance, the cuffs and trousers are closed, capable and majestic, all of them have serious expressions, and their aura is intimidating, completely different from the young men who are just looking at flowers like them.

The teenagers were frightened and did not dare to go forward.He asked Li Yuanji in a low voice, "What exactly does your family do? It's such a big show."

Li Yuanji also shook his head blankly.

These people should be from the palace, could it be...

Not caring about his little friend, Li Yuanji opened the door a few steps and went in. The plot in his mind went through several times, he was afraid that someone from the palace would come to kill and silence him.

"Brother!"

A familiar voice sounded in the room, "It seems that Xinxin is back."

Then the person who spoke came out of the house, the door was not closed, and he saw the teenagers surrounding the outside at a glance, "Is there a guest? Please come in."

Seeing his extraordinary aura, the young men flinched, and said hesitantly, "Why don't we come back another day?"

Li Yuanji said, "No need! What are you afraid of? Everyone is here."

The teenagers outside don't really want to admit cowardice in front of their friends, as if that would make them inferior.They gritted their teeth, "Yes, they are here! Let's go."

Seven or eight teenagers entered the yard together. They opened their heads, looked at the strange middle-aged man first, then looked away at Li Yuanji, and finally put them on the cat lying under the grape arbor. Feeling better just a little bit.

So scary.

Li Yuanji couldn't care about his little friend anymore, he walked up to Li Shimin and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Li Shimin didn't lower his voice: "It's only natural for a father to come to visit his son, why can't he come?"

Li Yuanji snorted, but did not speak.

Among the teenagers who were huddled together in the back, one of them said weakly: "Didn't your parents die young..."

The man next to him tugged at his sleeve, and when Li Shimin looked over, he smiled apologetically and awkwardly, "So you are Li Qi's father, and we are Li Qi's friends, hello uncle."

The rest of the teenagers also shouted, "Hello, Uncle."

Li Shimin: "..."

Seeing his speechless expression, Li Yuanji's mood suddenly improved.

Bringing friends home is indeed the right choice!

Li Shimin said, "I am not his father."

The teenagers were stunned, "Huh?"

Li Shimin said, "I am Li Cheng's father, not his father."

The teenagers were even more confused, "Huh??"

They were not born by the same father, so why are they all surnamed Li?Cousins?

Li Yuanji said, "Aren't you coming to see my elder brother? Elder brother is inside, come with me."

Li Shimin entered the house together with the teenagers.

A charcoal pot was burned in the house, which was very warm.The window was opened a crack, and fresh air came in from the outside, washing away the smell of charcoal fire.

There was a low couch by the other window, about the size of a bed, with much shorter legs.The roe deer skin that Li Yuanji hunted last time was polished with saltpeter and placed at the bottom, then the mattress, and the top was the red fox skin bought outside.

Sitting on the low couch, Xu Zhe was slightly surprised to see so many people coming to the house. He kindly invited them to take a seat, and entertained them with candies and candied fruit left over from the Chinese New Year.

Xu Zhe said: "Why didn't you tell me in advance, I didn't have time to prepare anything."

Li Yuanji said, "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."

The teenagers politely refused, wishing they could leave immediately, but they were too embarrassed to say it directly.

Li Shimin looked indifferent.

He knew that Xu Zhe was also speaking to himself.

After receiving Zong Luo's letter, he rushed over here non-stop, not to mention Xu Zhe, even Zong Luo and Tian Cong didn't know he was coming.

Tian Cong was left in the palace by him to deal with the visiting people, and Li Shimin kept a low profile all the way, bringing only a dozen or so trustworthy personal guards.

Along the way, he was restless in his heart, until he saw him with his own eyes, his heart was not relieved.

Zong Luo boiled hot water, shared a cup with each of them, and warmed his hands.

Li Yuanji said: "These are a few friends who play well with me. They are all curious about what you look like, so I invited them here."

Xu Zhe asked: "Now that I have met the real person, how do you feel?"

The teenagers repeatedly praised him for his outstanding temperament, gentleness and amiability, no wonder Li Yuanji talked about his elder brother all day long.

They thought that Li Qi's eldest brother must be in his 40s or [-]s, but they didn't expect him to look so young, just as old as them.

Li Yuanji said: "My eldest brother is only 23 years old, he doesn't look young, he is very young!"

Satisfied with their curiosity, the teenagers went to the yard to play with the cats for a while, and each of them picked a cat to deal with Li Yuanji, and went home as if fleeing.

Li Yuanji was on guard as no one was waiting to leave.

He thought at first, even if Li Shimin came to kill people in person, he wouldn't be in front of so many people.This is Suzhou, not the capital, and there is no way to hide the trouble.

Now only he and Xu Zhe were left, and even Zong Luo belonged to him, so it was hard to say.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji's whole body on guard, as if he saw his third brother who was shot to death at Xuanwu Gate.

Li Yuanji is a brave man who is good at fighting, so riding and shooting is naturally not bad, but on the day of Xuanwu Gate, he failed to shoot the arrow after pulling the bow several times.

Li Shimin in this world even asked people to write down this point and record it in the annals of history.

Is Li Yuanji really cowardly?

Maybe it's timidity, but more, it's the bewilderment after losing his brother.

Li Yuanji sat back on his seat, couldn't help rubbing against Xu Zhe, and kept winking at him: What is he doing here?

Xu Zhe said, "Don't you want to do some business to make money? Let him arrange it for you."

Li Shimin said, "I've made an agreement with your elder brother, you get ready, take my letter and go to Taizhou to find Su Quan in a few days, he will make arrangements."

Li Yuanji was confused, "Taizhou? Where is Taizhou? Is it far?"

Xu Zhe said: "Taizhou is also in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has to go further south, not too far from Suzhou."

Li Yuanji: "Oh...then let me try."

Li Shimin saw that although Xu Zhe's health was not as good as before, but he was not as good as Chengqian in his previous life before his death, so he felt relieved.He couldn't leave for too long. Before he left, he told Zong Luo to send a letter immediately if something happened, and praised him for his right behavior of asking a doctor.

After Li Shimin left, Li Yuanji dared to leave. Before he left, he said goodbye to Xu Zhe reluctantly, telling him to take good care of himself, and to write back when he settled down in Taizhou.

Xu Zhe agreed one by one, checked his luggage, brought enough money and clothes before letting him go.

Li Yuanji was on his way to work, so he couldn't delay for too long. After driving the carriage for several days, he realized something was wrong.

He asked the coachman, "How long will it take to arrive in Taizhou?"

The coachman said, "At this speed, we should be able to arrive tomorrow."

Li Yuanji asked: "How many days would it take to travel from Taizhou to Suzhou on a fast horse?"

The coachman replied: "Well, it will take at least two days."

so far...

Li Yuanji sat back in the carriage in a daze, feeling that he had been cheated by his brother.

Obviously not close at all! !

After Li Yuanji left, the courtyard became quiet.

Every time Xu Zhe went out and saw only three or two cats left, and thinking of Yuan Ji, he felt very uncomfortable.

Without Yuan Ji, the family felt as if three hundred ducks were missing, and the family suddenly became depressed.

Zong Luo also felt uncomfortable, and asked Xu Zhe several times if he wanted to buy more servants, but Xu Zhe refused.

Li Yuanji couldn't come back on holidays, and only on big holidays would he be free to go home.

During the Qingming Festival, the Su family had a few days off. Li Yuanji changed to a better horse and ran here day and night, shortening the two-day journey to seven hours. After returning, he closed the door and went to sleep. When he woke up, it would be another day passed.

Li Yuanji was picking up the rice while thinking, "If I knew this, I might as well go on my way. I'm so stupid, brother, why do you think I'm so stupid?"

Xu Zhe sighed, "Probably because your eldest brother and second brother shared too much wisdom."

Both he and Li Shimin are very smart. Li Yuanji looked okay before, but now he looks more and more like his fourth brother Xuan Ba.

Speaking of which, Xuan Ba's health was not very good, and he died of illness early.

Of his family, only Li Yuan lived the longest.

Li Yuan's father is Han Chinese, and his mother is Xianbei, so they are not close relatives.Empress Dowager Dou is from Xianbei, and she can also be related to the Dugu family. The child born belongs to Li Yuanji's health, and he can't stand him being ugly, even his own mother dislikes him.

Marriage of close relatives and early marriage and early childbearing are really harmful.
