Sui and Tang Dynasties: Awakening the Supreme Skills at the Beginning

"Brother, brother, how rude of you to do this!"

Li Yingxue shook Li Shaoan's shoulders again.

Li Shaoan woke up from his chaotic consciousness and bowed repeatedly, "I lost my composure, please don't mind, Miss Li, it's just that you are too beautiful!"

Li Jianing found the nobleman in front of her quite pleasing to the eye and could not help but step forward and pay him a proper salute.

"There are thousands of beautiful faces, but only one interesting soul can be found in a million. Compared to my beauty, my soul is more interesting. Mr. Li, would you like to see it?"

"Ah?" Li Shaoan was stunned. He didn't expect that this seemingly delicate Li Jianing was so witty and humorous!

"elder sister?"

Li Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard what his sister said.

It is said that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. My sister is already 18 years old now. Logically speaking, she has long passed the marriageable age. It would be a lie to say that I am not anxious.

It is a rare opportunity today that Li Shaoan values ​​me. If I could marry into the family of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, wouldn’t it be like a sparrow turning into a phoenix!

"Sister, I'll go talk to Master Li and ask him to come and propose marriage!"

Li Jianing blushed, "They are from a rich and powerful family, how could they be interested in a girl like me from a humble family?"

"Don't worry, sister. Now I, your brother, am also a nobleman. Even marrying a princess is not a problem, let alone the son of a mere duke."

"Really? When was my brother conferred the title?"

Li Jianing was so shocked that his eyes widened.

"My younger brother has made great contributions by presenting the curved plow to His Majesty, and was granted the title of Baron of Chang'an County. Just now, Lord Changsun, who came to deliver the decree, left!"

Li Zhen hurriedly explained.

"That's great! Could it be that this is God's will for us to achieve our goal?"

Li Jianing blushed, but looked Li Shaoan up and down out of the corner of her eye.

He is indeed a handsome man, worthy of being the son of a duke!

Seeing his sister's expression, Li Zhen knew that his sister was interested in Li Shaoan.

"Okay, sister, I'll leave this matter to you, just wait for the bridal sedan to arrive!"

"Huh? So embarrassing!"

When Li Zhen said this to her face, Li Jianing's face immediately turned red to her neck. She turned her head away, covered her face with a handkerchief, and no longer looked at Li Shaoan.

Li Zhen bowed to Li Shaoan.

"Brother Shaoan is indeed very discerning. My sister is a famous beauty far and wide. Not only that, she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially needlework..."

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Li Shaoan felt a little embarrassed.

Li Yingxue next to her didn't care about that and immediately chimed in.

"Stingy guy, you finally did the right thing. Wait for your brother to go back and report to father, and then come to propose marriage today!"

Even though Li Shaoan was very good at cultivating his qi, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.

But he didn't shy away and bowed to Li Zhen openly.

"Thank you very much, Brother Li, for your help. I will definitely treat you to a drink someday. I won't leave until you are drunk!"

Seeing that brothers were about to become relatives, Li Zhen was also happy to see it happen.

So he bowed and said.

"No problem, I'm always at your service!"

"Haha! Brother Li is straightforward!"

Li Shaoan stepped forward and held Li Zhen's hand. At the same time, he looked Li Jianing up and down out of the corner of his eye and nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, the two families had a great time and started to tour the garden hand in hand.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure flashed past Li Yingxue's eyes.

Looking at that figure, could it be Lihua, the maid from Princess Changle's mansion? What is that little girl doing here?

Li Yingxue felt suspicious.

In mid-spring, the Hibiscus Garden is covered with green grass, blooming flowers, and the air is exceptionally fresh.

As Li Zhen walked, he greedily breathed in the fresh, unpolluted air of the Tang Dynasty.

The fresh air is mixed with the subtle fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

At the beginning, the two families mixed together, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

Gradually, the few people separated, Li Zhen and Li Yingxue walked together, while Li Jianing stayed closer to Li Shaoan.

The little kid looked at the handsome man and beautiful girl in front of him, stretched out his little hand towards Li Jianing, and said in a baby voice.

"Lily wants to play with her big sister!"

Seeing this, Li Xia hurriedly pulled her into her arms and said, "Be good, it's the same when your sister plays with you. How about your sister and Lily play hide-and-seek?"

"Okay, sister is so nice! Lily will be good!"

The little bean's attention was successfully interrupted.

The Hibiscus Garden was extremely large, and Li Zhen and his companions were not familiar with the route. They felt as if they had entered a maze, so they had no choice but to wave over a servant and ask him to lead the way.

Li Jianing and Li Shaoan walked into a pavilion.

This pavilion is hexagonal in shape and surrounded by water on three sides. There are many lake stones stacked under the pavilion, and the pool water ripples between the stones.

The pond next to it is a pool of clear water, and the Yellowstone rockery by the pool is reflected in the water, as dazzling as colorful clouds.

I saw a chessboard quietly placed on the table in the middle of the pavilion, and next to it was a box containing black and white pieces.

"Go?"

Li Shaoan exclaimed, obviously extremely surprised.

Seeing Li Shaoan's attitude, Li Jianing knew that he loved playing chess, so he stepped forward and bowed.

"It's rare that Mr. Li likes to play chess. Why don't you play chess with me and let people see who is better, you or me!"

"I didn't expect Miss Li to have such a refined taste. Then I'd better obey your orders. If you lose, don't cry!"

Li Shaoan was happy in his heart, and thinking of Li Jianing's mischief, he couldn't help but tease her.

"Humph! Don't brag. It's still unclear who will win or lose."

Li Jianing snorted softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Li Shaoan was stunned when he saw the young girl's appearance. He couldn't help but stare at her.

"Master! Master!"

Li Jianing called out twice softly, but Li Shaoan did not respond.

A hint of shyness appeared on Li Jianing's face, and a hint of secret joy flashed across her eyes.

After a while, Li Shaoan came to his senses and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Ms. Li, please go first!"

"Mr. Li, please go first!"

Li Jianing declined.

"Ladies first! Ladies first!"

Li Shaoan touched his nose.

"I never knew that Master Li is such a gentleman! But if you lose this game, you are not allowed to cheat!"

Li Jianing continued to tease.

"How do you know I will lose?"

Li Shaoan said unconvinced.

"Then let's go for a walk!"

After that, Li Jianing moved first with the white pieces, followed by Li Shaoan with the black pieces.

Soon, the black and white sides started fighting each other, and the battle seemed to be very fierce.

"I can't believe that Master Li's chess skills are so superb?"

Hearing Li Jianing praising him, Li Shaoan felt proud and couldn't help but look at Li Jianing a few more times. However, he didn't expect that the more he looked, the more he liked her. He could not take his eyes away. He was completely lost.

Unconsciously, Li Jianing was stealing glances at this handsome young man. She felt very happy and made several wrong moves in succession. She also looked shy and infatuated.

On the other side, Li Shaoan's situation was not much better. He was obsessed with Li Jianing's beauty and couldn't extricate himself.

After finally counting the results, it turned out that Li Jianing won three games.

Li Jianing said happily.

"Sir, you lose!"

"Miss Li is an excellent chess player. I am a little bit inferior. I have to admit I am inferior to her!"

Li Shaoan bowed to Li Jianing.

"Since you admit defeat, you will be punished by writing a poem."

Li Jianing pondered for a while, then tilted his head and spoke softly.

"Okay! Miss Li, please listen. Although my poetry writing is not as good as Lord Li's, it is not bad either!"

"The lake light and spring moon are in harmony, the lake surface is calm and the mirror is not polished. Looking at the green water and mountains of lotus in the distance, there is a green snail in the silver plate."

"What a poem! What a poem!"

Li Jianing immediately clapped his hands in praise, with approval in his eyes.

……

After this period of contact, the relationship between Li Jianing and Li Shaoan soared, and soon they reached the point where they could talk about anything.
