If you don't start a career, how can you start a family?
Imitating a famous general of the Han Dynasty, he said that the Xiongnu had not been defeated, so what was his home?
These words were said with great momentum.
Guo Peng could vaguely guess Prime Minister Li Si's plan. After all, suddenly asking if they were married? Wasn't the meaning obvious? It was just that he couldn't be 100% sure for the time being.
He had already achieved his goal. From the content of their conversation, he could tell that Li Si had truly treated him as an ally that was related to his interests.
This result wasn't surprising at all.
He was the Qin Emperor's favorite, and now that he had the fame boost from the Paper Making Technique, Li Si would not push him out of the door as long as he was not stupid.
Moreover, they were on the same side, protecting the interests of the new aristocratic faction together, and at the same time, facing the suppression of the old aristocratic faction together.
However, she did not expect that the usually arrogant Li Si in the royal court would have someone to suck up to.
Behind the bright and beautiful scenery, there was also an unknown bitterness.
Guo Peng had a feeling that even a goddess was nothing more than this.
No matter what, Li Si's status and experience were not something he could compare to. If his guess was true, he was looking forward to it.
……
The Li Residence was also not far from Xianyang Palace. As the Prime Minister and once Emperor Qin's favorite, Li Si's residence was no less luxurious than Guo's.
But to be honest, the difference wasn't too big. If Guo Peng was willing to spend money on renovations, it wasn't impossible to surpass Li Si's mansion. Of course, Guo Peng wouldn't do that.
"My humble residence is simple and crude.”
"Lord Prime Minister is too modest."
Even though he knew that Li Si was being humble, he could guess that Li Si's residence was not one of the best among Great Qin's officials.
After walking into the residence, Li Si called for the butler and whispered some instructions.
Guo Peng didn't hear what he said clearly, so he could only make some guesses in his heart. Of course, on the surface, he looked calm and open-minded.
It was still early in the afternoon, so Li Si invited Guo Peng to a pavilion in the garden.
A maidservant beside him brought some snacks and wine.
The two of them chatted and laughed, tasting the wine while admiring the flowers.
This time, no one took the initiative to talk about political affairs. Instead, they talked about some interesting news that had recently happened in Xianyang.
As the Prime Minister, he had been deeply involved in the court for decades. In terms of aura control, Guo, a new trainee who had only practiced for three and a half years, was naturally far inferior. Moreover, he had originally planned to push the boat with the current, so the atmosphere quickly became relaxed and happy, no longer as serious and nervous as when discussing political affairs in the carriage.
Just as they were talking, a melodious zither music suddenly sounded in their ears.
Guo Peng took a look and saw a woman sitting behind a thin gauze curtain in the pavilion beside him. She was quietly playing the zither with her head lowered. The pleasant sound of the zither came from her fingertips.
Without waiting for Li Si's introduction, Guo had already guessed that the woman playing the zither was most likely Li Si's relative.
That was because if Li Si just wanted to give him a beauty, he would not have gone through so much trouble.
He had a guess in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Instead, he pretended to quietly enjoy the music.
Even though he didn't have much understanding of the guzheng, he had been in Great Qin for many days, so he had some appreciation for the music of this era.
At the very least, he could roughly distinguish the good from the bad.
This woman's music might be a little worse than the professional musicians in the Qin Palace, but with his unprofessional ears, he could almost hear the difference.
It could be said that it was already not simple.
"Lord Prime Minister, who is this lady?”After quietly appreciating the song, Mr. Guo pretended to be puzzled and asked.
Li Si took a sip of wine and smiled.""This is my daughter.”
Li Si had a daughter?
This surprised Guo Peng.
Since he already knew what Li Si was planning, he naturally went along with him and said,""I didn't expect the Prime Minister to have such a talented daughter. From what I heard, Miss Li's zither skills are not inferior to the professional musicians in the Qin Palace.”
"Hahaha, Minister Guo, you're too kind.”
Li Si laughed out loud. Both of them were smart people. From Guo Peng's answer, Li Si could tell that Guo Peng did not reject his daughter.
"Minister Guo said before that if you don't start a family, how can you start a family? In my opinion, Minister Guo's position is now comparable to the nine ministers. This is already an achievement that many people can't achieve in their lifetime. How can they still not have a family?”
"Prime Minister is right. It's just that we haven't been able to find a suitable one, so we've been delaying it.”Mr. Guo continued.
Since Guo Peng had said so, Li Si naturally did not hide it anymore and said bluntly,""Minister Guo, what do you think of my daughter?”
Guo pretended to be stunned for a moment. He looked at the woman sitting in the pavilion and came to a realization. He stood up and bowed.
"This little son-in-law greets father-in-law!"
"Hahaha, please, please. We'll be a family in the future. There's no need to care about these formalities.”
Amidst a burst of laughter, this matter was happily decided.
Even though I don't even know what Miss Li looks like in the pavilion.
However, even if she was a little ugly, I would accept it. At most, I would marry her and not touch her. She would be treated in the residence. Anyway, in this era, as long as you have power, you can have as many women as you want.
Besides, even though Li Si was a little old, one could tell from the contours of his face that he definitely did not look bad when he was young.
Moreover, as the Prime Minister, as long as his brain wasn't fried, he definitely wouldn't find an ugly wife.
In terms of genetics, it was impossible for Miss Li to be ugly!
Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, I'm definitely making a profit.
