In view of this, Li Li never came up with such a bad idea.Make checkers yourself.The chessboard frame is made by a master carpenter.Li Li took six golden flowers to polish chess pieces of different colors.

Fortunately, the technical content of making checkers is not high, so it is easy to do.When a set of checkers is completed, although it is not as exquisite as the checkers of later generations, the board and chess pieces are priceless treasures.The chess board is made of sandalwood, and the chess pieces are pearls, emeralds and jades of appropriate shape and size, but the color is not enough.Take gold and silver round bumps to make up.

In the end, the checkers were done well, and Liuduo Jinhua taught the rules and methods of playing checkers.Later, Li Li himself became a spectator, and he was forced not to leave without permission.Become a loyal fan of Liu Nu.Whoever wins, he has to applaud; whoever loses, he has to comfort him, saying a lot of good things, so busy that his head is dizzy and his mouth is dry.

But he also gets a little reward in the end.The four nominal wives-to-be, Dian Wuxia, Cai Yan, Chen Yu, and Li Xin, would offer sweet kisses before going to bed, and Li Li would also take advantage of this opportunity to make money, making the four wives-to-be breathless and their cheeks flushed , Spring rippling, shy away.

But Dian Wuxia always left and returned.Although her body was already unbearable, she couldn't help herself. She still couldn't help but fly into the flames, and sneaked into Li Li's room, flirting with Li Li, trying her best to please her.

The next day, Dian Wuxia often slept until the afternoon before getting up, feeling listless and sore all over.But at night, she came back to life and dared to fight Li Li all night long, never tired of it.

Amidst the laughter, Cai Yan, Dian Wuxia, Chen Yu and Li Xin are also very busy. The wedding is approaching, and many things need to be prepared.The situation of the four of them is rather special. Their parents or relatives are either not around, or they have passed away long ago.

They don't need to prepare the wedding things, Li Li has already ordered Li Xuan and Jia Mu to send people to Chang'an City to make preparations, and Li Li's uncle Li Jue will take care of the details.

Although the relationship between Li Jue and Li Li's uncle and nephew was not harmonious, and the Li family was divided into two because of this, the uncle, nephew and even relatives were connected by blood.Li Li got married, how could Li Jue stay out of it?

In detail, the four wives that Li Li married this time all had ordinary family backgrounds.

Although Li Xin's family has a long history, that happened hundreds of years ago, and now she is the daughter of the common people.

Chen Yu was born in a family of officials, but it is a pity that his family is in decline. The only elder brother who is the pillar of the family is also a wanted criminal by the imperial court. He has fled and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Dian Wuxia was supposed to be the person with the best background and the highest status, but she was a barbarian daughter in the eyes of the Han people, and her appearance was different from ordinary people.Since then, she has been the most talked about by outsiders among the four girls, pointing fingers and gossips.

Cai Yan's family background should be the best among the four daughters, but she is "second married".Even though the old father Cai Yong loves his daughter dearly, it is not appropriate for him to make a big deal of it.Even so, her remarriage can still become a flat wife, which is also a topic of conversation in other people's mouths and has been criticized.It doesn't matter in Guzang City now, no one dares to make up gossip about the magistrate's wife, after returning to Chang'an, it will be a different scene, and it will inevitably be talked about.

Because of this, Li Li's marriage this time is not favored by others.It is said that many ministers and ministers in the DPRK and China scoffed at Li Li's marriage and despised the wedding quite a lot.

But Li Li dismissed this, and often comforted Cai Yan and the others, ignoring other people's private gossip, with Li Li standing in front, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks!

Therefore, the four sisters of Cai Yan are connected with each other, and the relationship is very harmonious. They are not real sisters, but they are better than real sisters. This is what Li Li is most satisfied with about the four daughters.

Other people's gossip is not terrible, people have two mouths, and they can't control what they want to say; but family harmony is very important.

Only by cultivating one's morality, regulating one's family, governing one's country and the world, and a harmonious family can everything prosper!

Chapter 169 Recalling the past, Wenhe worshiped the Lord

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Guzang City.

In the hall of the county mansion, Li Li discussed with Li Xuan, Jia Xu and Jia Mu about going to Chang'an.

At the end of the discussion, Li Li said to Li Xuan with a smile: "Yuan Zhong, Xiner and the others have been busy preparing for the wedding these days, I feel very distressed when I see it! So Chang'an Longxiang Li Mansion depends on you to make arrangements, In the next two years, our foundation will still be in Liangzhou, and Longxiang Li's Mansion is only a temporary place to live, and the possibility of us living there in the future is very small. However, in order to prevent Xiner and the others from being wronged, it is still my previous job. In that sentence, don’t be too extravagant and wasteful, and don’t be too shabby, simple but not simple. You have to think carefully about it.”

"No, this subordinate takes orders!"

Li Xuan readily agreed, and then said to Li Li with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have also prepared a dowry for Xiner. I don't know how to deal with it?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Li laughed heartily when he heard the words, and said: "You are Xiner's real brother, that is, my uncle, and we are all in the same family. Why do you need to treat others like this. How about this, just prepare a gift list and bring it to Chang'an. After registration and bookkeeping, it is directly entered into the treasury.

In addition, Yuan Zhong, the dowry of Wuxia and the three of them will also appear on the gift list, and I will provide the real thing!The worldly rules kill people, the left hand goes out, the right hand goes in, it's superfluous, but I still have to do it!Hehehe. "

After Li Xuan heard the words, he immediately understood the meaning behind Li Li's words, and readily agreed.

This time Li Li was indeed the first to marry one regular wife and three equal wives at once, which is really a rare marriage in the Han world.And Cai Yan, Dian Wuxia and Chen Yu jointly promoted Li Xuan's younger sister Li Xin as the main wife, and Li Li agreed accordingly. Li Xuan was overjoyed and excited by this move.

Previously, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Li's favorite person was Princess Xiutu Dian Wuxia.

Fortunately, Li Li had already decided on the title of Dian Wuxia's flat wife.Otherwise, Li Xuan and the generals in the army were worried that Dian Wuxia would become the mistress of the Wuwei Army and Li Li's wife.If you marry a Fanbang woman as your main wife, it will damage Li Li's reputation and have a certain negative impact on the entire Wuwei Army.

Now that all the dust has settled, Li Xin is the main wife, Dian Wuxia, Chen Yu and Cai Yan are the concubine wife, everyone is happy.

It's just that this is not in line with the etiquette system. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of three wives and four concubines. It is very rare for people to marry four wives at once, which is groundless and contrary to secular rules.

But Li Li kept his word.Insisting on this made the generals of the Wuwei army dare not persuade them.And Li Xuan, who had the most right to speak, also kept silent and acquiesced to Li Li's decision because his younger sister Li Xin unexpectedly became the wife of the wife.

Since then.Li Li will have one official, three flats and four wives.Originally, Dian Wuxia was also the subject of controversy, but Li Li set her name early.Preconceptions come first.Over time, the Wuwei Army gradually accepted this established fact.

Nowadays, the most controversial among the four daughters is Cai Yan, the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong.

Although Cai Yan's father is a great Confucianist in the world, Cai Yan's own status as a widow cannot be shaken off no matter what, because her ex-husband is the son of the Hedong Wei family.And the Wei family is indeed one of the few centuries-old families in the Han Dynasty, and has a deep relationship with the Liu family; even if the imperial power is now falling apart.Dong Zhuoquan was all over the court, but the Wei family was still famous, with deep roots and disciples and old officials all over the world.

because of this.Cai Yan's remarriage to Li Li this time has been criticized.Even if she has a father who is a great Confucian in the world, he can't stop the overwhelming rumors.

When Cai Yan was distressed by this, Li Li called the civil and military officials at all levels under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County and Zhangye County to discuss matters, arranged for him to go to Chang'an, and announced Li Xin, Dian Wuxia, Chen Yu and others in public. The names of Cai Yan's four daughters.

At that time, Li Li's tone was firm, his voice was loud, his expression was solemn, and he was domineering, beyond doubt.

Since then, the dignitaries in Guzang City and the counties of Wuwei and Zhangye have kept silent and stopped talking about Li Li's four wives.

Watching Li Xuan leave, Li Li asked Jia Xu to go to the study to talk.

"Mr. Wen He's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors is going well?"

In the study, Li Li and Jia Xu sat opposite each other and asked with a smile.

After drinking hot tea, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Everything is going well, thank you General for your concern. Wuwei County is different now. The counties and villages are in order, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. General Li pacified the border and managed the army well. Offender, what a great achievement!"

"Hehehe! Wen He said it too much. As the lord of a county, this is a matter of his duty. How can he give credit for it." Li Li said humbly.

Immediately, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and continued: "In ten days, our army will set off for Chang'an. Before leaving, Li would like to ask the gentleman about the political situation in Chang'an City. I wonder if the gentleman can tell the truth. tell?"

A gleam flashed across Jia Xu's eyes when he heard the words, and he smiled and said, "The general is serious. In fact, the changes in the current situation in Chang'an City will definitely not escape the general's careful attention. I am afraid that the general has long been familiar with it and knows it in detail. When asked, Jia should tell the truth.

For more than half a year, since the general guarded Liangzhou for Dong Xiangguo and won many victories, Xiangguo has no worries in the rear and is quite comfortable. He is not as diligent as before when he goes to the court to listen to the government.During this period, some veteran ministers in the court spoke uprightly and offended the Xiangguo. Dozens of people were imprisoned and executed, and the number of veterans of the three dynasties in the court became less and less.

During the rest period of Xiangguo in Meiwu, Li Ru, the permanent attendant of the court, was in charge of handling all the affairs of the court. General Lu Bu was in charge of defending the capital. General Li Jue and several other Zhonglang generals were fully responsible for defending the pass and commanding the Xiliang army.

The general situation is like this, I wonder if the general has any questions? "

Li Li leaned over and listened to Jia Xu's narration, with a calm expression, warm eyes, and a smile on his face all the time, as if he was listening seriously.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen He, for your enlightenment. I don't know if Cai Yong, Cai Zhonglang, the general's old Taishan, is doing well recently?"

Jia Xu looked at Li Li in surprise when he heard the words, and replied: "Since the general left Chang'an, Cai Zhonglang lived in seclusion and thanked guests behind closed doors. Jia has not seen him for a long time. But Jia heard that Cai Zhonglang is in good health. , indulging in the books and history books all day long, but it is also very quiet."

"Oh. It's so good! Lao Taishan has shown me the kindness of supporting and rebuilding, and entrusted his beloved daughter to me. His kindness is as deep as the sea! In a few days, I will be able to see his old man again and listen to his teachings again." Li Li said affectionately.

Seeing Li Li always talking about these irrelevant things, Jia Xu couldn't sit still.

He came to see Li Li this time in the name of thanking Li Li for his care in the past two months, but in fact he had other important matters to discuss.

Perhaps it was a habit that Jia Xu had developed over the years, or he intentionally did so, waiting for Li Li to take the initiative to ask for advice.He will reveal his true intentions.

Unexpectedly, Li Li didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and didn't ask him what he was doing here, and just talked about irrelevant things, which got further and further away.
