When they returned to the county town, the sky was gradually darkening. Li Jingmo, Ye Yuzhu, and Ye Guozhong were chatting in the main hall. Han Yuxi was not there. At this time, she must be in the kitchen arranging for someone to make dinner!
Although Li Zexuan was now a Marquis and the Li family had become a noble, Li Jingmo, Ye Yuzhu, and Han Yuxi did not have the arrogant, cold, and arrogant attitude of a noble. Usually, Han Yuxi and Madam Li would personally participate in the kitchen when they had time.
Although this made the work of the Li family's cook much easier, it did not make her feel relaxed at all. After all, her duty in the Li family was to cook!
"Xuan 'er is back!"
As soon as Li Zexuan stepped into the front hall, Ye Yuzhu stood up from her chair and said with a loving expression.
"En! Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother, what are you all talking about? This child can hear your laughter from far away! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said.
"Hmph! You child, I can't see you all day long. If it wasn't for the dark, you would have forgotten that you still have a home in the county town! "
Li Jingmo did not give his son any face. He coldly snorted and said with a dark face.
He couldn't be blamed for his sharp tongue. It was just that Li Zexuan had been running outside every day. In the past few months, excluding the time he spent eating and sleeping at home, the amount of time Li Zexuan spent at home was pitifully little!
This made Li Jingmo, who thought that after his son became a high-ranking official, he would not have to worry about food and clothing, and that the family would be able to enjoy the joy of a family reunion together.
"Eh!"
Li Zexuan's expression froze, and his face was filled with embarrassment.
Ye Yuzhu rolled her eyes at Li Jingmo and said, "You old thing, our son runs out because he is busy with official business. Xuan 'er works so hard. In the end, isn't it for our family? In the end, you're here making sarcastic remarks. Do you still look like a father? "
After being scolded by Ye Yuzhu, Li Jingmo's face turned red. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare. After all, Ye Yuzhu's family was sitting across from him. However, if he didn't say anything, he would lose face. He was in a dilemma!
It's too hard for me!
In the end, Li Jingmo sighed and decided not to say anything.
"Mother! Don't say that, Father. I've been too busy recently and couldn't be by your side to fulfill my filial duties. It's my fault. Father is right! "
Li Zexuan looked at his father sympathetically, but they were father and son after all. He hurriedly stepped forward to help his father out.
"Haha! You brat! "
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Mother and your father are still healthy and healthy. We don't need you to stay by our side and take care of them. You just need to focus on your business! But my son, don't tire yourself out! "
"Haha! Little Xuan, in Grandmother's opinion, if you and Yuxi can give birth to a chubby grandson for your father, even if you don't come back for ten days or half a month, your father won't say anything! "
Looking at the warm daily life of this family, Mrs. Ye, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as she finished speaking, the room suddenly quieted down. Li Jingmo couldn't help but sit up straight. His eyes flashed with a hint of desire. Obviously, Mrs. Ye's words had really poked his heart.
He and Ye Yuzhu had children late in life. Now that Li Zexuan had finally started his own family, the two of them weren't young anymore. It was time for them to have grandchildren!
"Uh!"
Being urged to have a child by his grandmother, no matter how thick-skinned Li Zexuan was, he couldn't help but blush. After all, this was a matter between him and Han Yuxi. How could it be brought up in public?
"Father! Mother! Grandfather, grandmother, it's time to eat … Ah, husband, you're back! "
Just as the room fell into a honeyed silence, Han Yuxi walked in and broke the silence. After seeing Li Zexuan in the hall, Han Yuxi's face was slightly happy. However, a trace of imperceptible shyness flashed in her eyes.
"Mm! Wife, you've worked hard! "
Li Zexuan nodded at Han Yuxi.
"Haha! Since that's the case, let's eat first! Little Xuan has been running around outside all day. He must be hungry! Yuxi, let the servants serve the dishes! "
Although Mrs. Li also wanted to follow Mrs. Ye's wishes and let Li Zexuan quickly give birth to a chubby son for the old couple, now that Han Yuxi was also here, it wasn't appropriate to talk about this. Therefore, she hurriedly said to Han Yuxi as if nothing had happened.
"Yes! Mother! "
Han Yuxi responded, then turned around and went out to instruct the servants to serve the dishes.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Li Zexuan seemed to have heard Han Yuxi's soft sigh. He thought to himself, could it be that my wife had been standing outside for a while?
"Father, Mother, the new batch of equipment for the Black Armored Army that His Majesty had ordered has been completed. I plan to bring those things to the army camp in the morning after tomorrow. In the next few months, I might not have the opportunity to come back!"
When dinner was almost finished, Li Zexuan suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and spoke apologetically.
Previously, Li Zexuan had complained that his son was always away from home. Now, he had suggested that he would be away from home for a long time. Facing the two elders in front of him, it would be a lie if he said that he didn't feel guilty.
As soon as he finished speaking, the lively dining table suddenly quieted down and the atmosphere became somewhat gloomy. Li Jingmo and Ye Yuzhu also put down their bowls and chopsticks, a trace of worry flashing across their faces.
In fact, on the day that Li Zexuan was appointed as an adjutant of the Black Armored Army, the two of them had already mentally prepared themselves for Li Zexuan to enter the army camp. However, the incident of going up north to exterminate locusts had been in the middle of it for almost a month. Now that Li Zexuan mentioned it again, the two elders were somewhat caught off guard!
"Go! Without everyone, how can there be a small family? Only when the Tang Empire is strong and prosperous and no longer has to be afraid of external harassment can we live in peace! Since His Majesty thinks so highly of you, then go! You don't have to worry about the family. Your father and mother can take care of themselves. Besides, don't we still have Yuxi? "
Unexpectedly, the person who spoke up to persuade Li Zexuan was actually Li Jingmo. Although Old Man Li had grumbled about Li Zexuan earlier, that was only a private joke. In the face of a serious matter, Old Man Li was still very clear about what was right and what was wrong!
Madam Li opened her mouth, but in the end, she swallowed the words of urging him to stay. In the end, she still worriedly reminded, "Xuan 'er, Mother doesn't care where you go. You must ensure that you are safe and healthy, do you understand?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Mother! Don't worry! With my abilities, there aren't many people in this world who can hurt me! Besides, I'm only going to the army camp this time. It's very safe! "
Only going to the army camp? Actually, even Li Zexuan didn't believe these words. Since Li Er had made him the Black Armored Army Adjutant and let him train the Black Armored Army to adapt to the new equipment, then in the future war between Tang and the Turks, Li Er would very likely let Li Zexuan accompany the army!
This war was the fate of the country and also fate. Li Zexuan couldn't escape from it!
Besides, the battle at Longmen Pass also allowed Li Zexuan to see the combat power of the world's number one Turkic Wolf Cavalry. When the Turkic army arrived at Longmen Pass, Li Zexuan was severely injured and unconscious, but he was conscious at that time. He could clearly hear the roars of the mountains and the shaking of the mountains below the city walls. In addition, he had heard from Xuan Qing about the dangers of the battle at Longmen Pass and also heard from Cheng Yaojin about the desperate pursuit of the Turkic Wolf Cavalry. This gave Li Zexuan a more direct understanding of the current strength of the Turks!
The Turks were truly powerful. In history, the Great Tang had relied heavily on luck to defeat the Turks. Perhaps it was the will of the heavens! But the Turks had yet to encounter a natural disaster, and the Great Tang didn't have the 'support' of the heavens in the war with the Turks. Could the Great Tang really win? This was an unknown!
After coming to this world for more than a year, Li Zexuan had already assimilated himself into this era. He had the pride of a Tang person in his bones. His family, lovers, and friends all lived on this land. He wouldn't allow all that he had to be destroyed by the Turks. Thus, if Li Er wanted him to go to the battlefield, he would definitely do it without hesitation!
He wanted to personally eliminate this uncertain factor, the Turks, with his own hands!
But even so, he didn't dare to say that he wanted to go to the battlefield. Otherwise, his two elders would definitely be worried sick. After all, he was the only son of the Li Clan!
"Mm! Since you're going to the army camp, you should prepare tomorrow. The military rules are strict. Xuan 'er, you have to be careful and not be impulsive. Understand? "
Li Jingmo said after a moment of silence.
"I understand, Father!"
Li Zexuan hurriedly replied.
Li Jingmo nodded, then put down his chopsticks and got up. "Ai! This old man is tired. You guys continue eating. This old man is going back to his room to rest! "
Then, he turned and left.
Father Li was tired!
"Mother is also full! Xuan 'er, eat slowly. After you're done, accompany Yuxi! "
Madam Li forced a smile on her face, said a few words, and left.
"Little Xuan, national affairs are important, but you have to consider your father and mother's feelings! It really wasn't easy for the two of them to bring you up! Ai, that's all I have to say. This old man is also going back to rest! "
Ye Guozhong patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and said a few words. But then he hesitated. Finally, he sighed and left with Madam Ye.
Li Zexuan was silent. He understood the hidden meaning in Ye Guozhong's words. It was nothing more than letting Li Jingmo and Ye Yuzhu have a grandson as soon as possible so that the Li Clan would have descendants. Only then would the two elders have something to rely on. After all, there were three ways to be unfilial, and having no descendants was the worst! This was a concept that had been passed down for thousands of years in Chinese. No one could change it!
But his wife was indeed still young. It was not suitable for her to have a child now!
Li Zexuan watched the two elders of the Ye Clan leave, then looked at Han Yuxi beside him. He couldn't help but feel conflicted.
