Chapter 170 Birthday 16

Seeing that Zhao Xin did not bring Ran Min back, Li Chong naturally complained. Zhao Xin also didn't think it was a lie. He still smiled and didn't care about it. Li Chong said that there was nothing he could do about him, so he didn't say more.

After the dinner, it was a play arranged by Li's house. Without Ran Min's company, although the music drama was wonderful, Zhao Xin also looked dull and yawned in a short time, thinking about how to find an excuse to run away.

Li Yi, who was beside him, looked absent-minded and lacked any interest in the drama on the stage. It was not until the end of the song that he stood up with Zhao Xin and was ready to leave.

The night is dark. Because the home is a little far away from Li's house, it is quite inconvenient to walk. In addition, Li hasn't been home for a long time, so Zhao's family will not go home, but just stay in the guest room of Li's house.

As for Li Shi, although he is not at home all year round, he is the eldest son of the Li family after all. His bedroom is still clean and everything is the same as before.

However, Li Yu insisted on staying only in the guest room, and the housekeeper couldn't do anything about him, so he had to let the young master come at his own. Li Jie and Zhao's family went to the guest room together.

The four people talked and laughed along the way. When they were about to separate in front of the house, Li Shi looked a little wrong. After hesitating for a while, Zhao said in a low voice, "Auntie, can you take a step to talk?"

Although her voice was low, she did not hide it from Li's ears. She couldn't help saying angrily, "What, is there anything else you can't say in front of your aunt?"

Li Lie waved his hand quickly; "No... That's not what I mean, auntie, don't get me wrong."

Li's eyebrows were upside down. He crossed his waist and wanted to curse, but he was stopped by Zhao Xin with a smile. "Mother, my cousin naturally has something to do. It's not convenient for us to listen. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you later."

After saying that, he winked at Li Lie, but he guessed that he was inseparable.

Looking at the two people's "wrinkles" appearance, Li couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Seeing his son reaching out to pull himself, he hesitated for a moment and let him pull away.

Zhao Jian looked at Li Jie with a smile. He didn't understand that this nephew, who usually didn't talk to him much, would have something to talk to him in private.

"Well, there is no one left and right. You can talk to your uncle directly. I won't tell you about your aunt."

Li Yu looked embarrassed and lowered his head and muttered, "Aunt, I mainly want to ask you for help."

Seeing that he looked a little awkward, Zhao Jai couldn't help asking strangely; "What's the matter?"

"I want to transfer back to Handan, and ask my uncle to help me figure it out."

Zhao Jian was so stunned that he never thought that Li Wei would ask him to help with this. In fact, before that, Li Wei helped his son find a way to transfer him back to Handan more than once, but Li Wei refused the transfer order directly without hesitation, and just became a county magistrate in a small county.

Li Yan's attitude is obvious. He doesn't want to have anything to do with this disgusting father.

But I don't know why I suddenly want to go back to Handan today. Have you reconciled with Li Dui?

Zhao Qian quickly denied this idea, not to mention that the two father and son were still tense and competing in the afternoon. Even if they were really reconciliated, how could Li Yu not go to his father for help, but found his strange uncle.

Zhao Jian thought for a while before he smiled and said, "Zhanger, I'm very curious. Whether it's close relatives or authority, your father is far better than me. Why don't you talk to him directly?"

Li Lie turned his head and avoided Zhao's eyes looking at him. He said in a low voice, "I don't want to ask for more from him. My parents owe him enough, and I don't want to owe him any more.

Zhao Ya shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You, I really don't know how to say you. You are his only son. Is there an overnight hatred between father and son?"

Li Ji did not reply immediately, but said in silence for a while; "Uncle, too many people have said these words to me, and now I don't want to think about it. Now I just want to ask you to do me a favor. Is it convenient?"

Zhao Zou frowned, thought for a little, and then opened his mouth and said slowly, "You are the county magistrate of Zhongxian County, and you are a 600 stone official. According to the law of the State of Zhao, the transfer of officials of more than 500 stones must be negotiated by the court. Now the power of appointing and dismissing officials is held by Xiangbang Feiyi, and the king does not intervene too much. But my friendship with Feiyi is not good until your father is good with him. Even if I want to ask for Feiyi, I must discuss with Feiyi through your father.

Speaking of which, Zhao Kui stared at Li Yu, but he didn't see anything unusual on his face. He just lowered his head and said "um". Zhao Jie suddenly knew that Li Wei had long known that this matter would be operated through his father, but he refused to bow to Li Dui because of his face, so he wanted to make a microphone by himself.

After realizing this, Zhao Jian felt a little funny, but he was also a little curious. I don't know what made Li Lie put down and bow his head to his father in disguise.

You should know that although the two father and son have very different personalities, they are stubborn and temperamental. They are both face-threward-stiming people. I'm afraid it's more difficult for them to bow their heads to others, but I don't know why Li Lie is the reason.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Kui simply didn't think about it, but said with a smile, "Well, but the transfer is not a trivial matter. You'd better go back to the house first. I think if there is no accident, the adjustment order will be sent to the house for more than a month."

Li Shi looked happy and quickly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, uncle."

Zhao Jian smiled and said, "We are a family. What's the matter? I just hope that you juniors will be more sensitive to the difficulties of growing up for others."

"Although your father sometimes does everything he can to achieve his goal, which also makes me quite critical, you should also understand his difficulties as the pillar of the Li family. The children of the family are different from us scholars from poor families. They put the interests of the family first in everything, especially in your Li family.

Li Yu turned his head and said unconvincedly, "Can you only cheat? In order to fight for power and profit, you can even betray your conscience."

Zhao Zhao looked at him and said lightly, "You are still too young after all. For the sake of the sake of the family, not to mention conscience, even the family affection can be exchanged as a bargaining chip."

"Do you know how many ministers there were in the State of Jin when Duke Wen of Jin dominated the Central Plains? There were nine people, and in the next few hundred years, the nine surnames were also in charge of the government of the State of Jin. These nine surnames are constantly changing. Some people come in and some people are out, and the major families also alternately enjoy the power of the State of Jin. But these once powerful families only laughed at the three families of Han, Wei and Zhao in the end. Other declines, disappearances, and even being killed because of the power struggle. Not to mention far away, you should not be unfamiliar with the Zhi family. He used to be the master of your Li family and the master of the whole state of Jin, but because of a flood in Jinyang City, more than 2,000 people in such a large family were killed, and none of them survived. His own head was also made into a night pot by his opponent.

"Your father seems to be beautiful now, but in fact he is like walking on thin ice. If he is not careful, he will lose all the game. If you Li family becomes a loser in the political struggle, not to mention your Li family, even our relatives can't escape the blame. If you really grow up and are sensible, you should understand your father's difficulties. Some things can't be solved by intention. You have to believe that your father was once young and full of blood like you, but he finally compromised. Because he is the eldest son of your Li family, he has an inescapable burden on his shoulders since he was born.

Zhao Jian looked at Li Jie, who was silent. Seeing that he had been lowering his head and did not retort, he thought he had heard some of it. He was secretly relieved and sighed and said, "Actually, these words are not suitable for me as an uncle. I just have been friends with your father for many years. I can't bear to see the loss of peace between your father and son. Do you know what I mean when your Li family is declining?

Li Li was silent for a long time. After all, he nodded and whispered, "Aunt, I know your kindness, but it still takes some time between me and my father."

Seeing that he was willing to call Li Dui's father, Zhao Jian's heart was wide-minded and said with a smile, "Well, it's getting late. You have to go back to the house tomorrow, so go to rest early."

"Yes."
