Chapter 221: Not to be outdone
readx;? Mrs. Li drank the medicine on the maid's hand, the black and swarthy medicinal juice was bitter and sour, the old lady wrinkled her face and forced herself to drink it, at this time she missed the days of pampering at home, at that time there were people around to serve and amuse, and she could eat whatever she wanted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bird's nest, ginseng and other tonic products, tired of eating like this today, Ming'er Cook will change the same, in short, every day is not the same, food supplements, medicinal food in exchange, her body can be strong, it is rare to get sick once a year, speaking of which, she has forgotten how bitter the medicine she took when she was sick!
But no matter how bitter it is, it's not as bitter as she is suffering now, right?
When the maid saw that she had drunk two sips, she stopped drinking, and hurriedly persuaded her softly, and the old lady thought she was instigating her, so she had to drink a few more sips, and immediately drank water after drinking, and took two candied fruits before she was relieved.
Mrs. Li dragged her steps in, and saw Mrs. Li squinting slightly, as if she was resting.
"Mother, when do you think we're on our way?"
Old Mrs. Li opened her eyes when she heard this, "What is on the road, it's really ugly." Second Mrs. Li was scolded and confused, but it was the little maid next to her who whispered in her ear that she understood.
Mrs. Li Er pursed her mouth secretly, and she would pick her thorns.
"It's not good to delay it any longer, if it drags on any longer, it will be the New Year. The second wife reminded her, and Mrs. Li was even more angry, "Don't you see that I'm sick and uncomfortable?
The second lady snorted secretly, unconvinced but not easy to show, and the old lady was angry and in a better mood, so she pretended to be tolerant and decided to leave the next day to continue north.
Mr. and Mrs. Li had already arrived in the capital, they first went to the inn to settle down, and then left Li Qinqin to wait for his son-in-law to study, and they went to see Li Qianqian, and learned that Li Qianqian went to the general's mansion early in the morning, and Master Li was slightly stunned and asked the disciple, "...... did the sect leader Li go?"
"General's Mansion, the Great Sect Master's attendants sent her there early in the morning. β
Master Li didn't know where the general's mansion was, so Menzi asked the coachman to send them over.
When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Master Li didn't feel anything, but the eldest lady felt a shock in her heart, once upon a time, the man who was suppressed by his mother-in-law and couldn't even straighten his back turned out to be a general? Listen to the red man in front of the emperor? And her own master, she raised her eyes to look at her husband, and the dignified old man's back was a little bent at some point.
Thinking of her sick and weak son, the eldest lady thought of the eldest grandson giving birth to four sturdy sons, and there was an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
Thinking of the unparalleled eldest grandson, bowing his head and frowning obediently, her husband intended to accept her as a child, if she hadn't cooperated with the second wife at that time and pushed the eldest grandson to Li Jing, would the big house have already been succeeded?
But it's too late to think about it now!
The eldest grandson has long since died, and there are only two sons left. The eldest lady subconsciously didn't want to think about Li Qianqian, because when she thought of her, she would think of the stupid things her little daughter did, and thought that the little daughter was still in front of her before, saying that Li Qianqian should thank her, if she hadn't pushed her on the edge of the cliff and let her be saved by the Li sect master, Li Qianqian would not have the honor to let the Li sect leader fall in love and accept him as an apprentice.
The eldest grandson and Li Shu are aunts and cousins, and the old lady doesn't let them spread the word, so Li Jingjing's sisters don't know, but Li Shenshen knows about it, and when the old lady and they learned that the Li family's courtyard had been changed hands, she was on the side, and the old lady didn't take it to heart, after all, Li Shenshen was still young at the time.
The eldest lady thought that Li Qianqian was now the head of a sect, and her daughter was older than her, but she was still so naΓ―ve and did not grow up.
The doorman of the General's Mansion diligently invited the eldest husband and wife into the door, "The eldest lord, please come with the little one, and the eldest lady please go with the criminal mother-in-law." β
The general's mansion did not have the embarrassment of the female dependents entertaining the female guests, so that the menzi blushed slightly, and the criminal wife who received the guests did not care, her husband and son were Li Jiajun, after the general opened the mansion in Beijing, the house needed someone to help, so she volunteered to come.
The young general originally refused to use her, but her husband went to tell the general that she was idle at home, and it was better to let her go to the mansion to help, so as to open her eyes, the general agreed, and the young general allowed her to come into the mansion.
The criminal mother-in-law is a lot of words on weekdays, and the eldest lady wants to inquire about the situation in the general's mansion, and it is rare for the criminal mother-in-law to listen to her, so she is naturally very happy, but it didn't take long for the eldest lady to find that the criminal mother-in-law seemed to be easy to coax and talk, but in fact, there was not much really useful information.
The eldest lady couldn't help but clench her hand holding the maid, and the torturer smiled brightly at her, but the eldest lady turned her head slightly and didn't look at her, but asked, "I heard that Li ......, how should I call that girl?" Sect Master? Call her by her name? Or ...... The eldest lady felt a headache.
The torture woman knew who she was going to ask, but she insisted on not saying it, waiting for the eldest lady to ask.
The eldest lady looked annoyed, and her brain suddenly brightened, "My niece is here?"
The torture woman smiled, "You mean Miss Qianqian? She and the general are in the martial arts arena! Our young lady is amazing, every year there are many people who retire from the Li Jiajun due to injuries, and the general and the major general have been helping to settle them, hoping that they will have a life to rely on in the future, but there are always some people who can't arrange it. β
The eldest lady responded casually, and the torturer muttered endlessly, but she didn't listen to it, only felt her ears ringing, and the maid found out that she was wrong, and hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" the torturer also noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked. "Are you tired of walking? I'm sorry! Wait a minute, I'll have someone get the rod ready. After speaking, the torturer took three steps and made two steps, and ran away.
As soon as she left, the eldest lady felt that her ears were much more comfortable, and the maids looked left and right, and found that there was a gazebo not far ahead, and there were tables and chairs in the pavilion, so they hurriedly waited for the eldest lady to go over and rest.
Li Jingshi learned that the eldest husband and wife had arrived, and Lang smiled and said, "It's coming!" Let his son and Li Shu continue to pick people, and he and Li Qianqian went to meet the guests.
Originally, he was going to see his eldest brother and his daughter to see his sister-in-law, but his daughter followed him, "You want to follow me to see your eldest uncle?"
"Hmm. She felt that Master Li wanted to talk to her more than to see her father.
"What about your aunt?" "It's not good to hang your sister-in-law, right?
As soon as Li Qianqian flicked his fingers, an eagle guard hidden in the shadows appeared, "Let Chunjiang and the two go to greet the eldest aunt." β
The Eagle Guard bowed his head and left, Li Jingshi looked stunned, okay! The daughter is more energetic than himself! No wonder his son and cousin want to ask him to train the secret guard!
Master Li is drinking tea in the living room, the general's mansion has just opened, the ornaments inside know at a glance that it is not genuine, think about it, Li Jingshi father and son have sent a lot of good things to Nancheng over the years, thinking that these things are all swallowed by his wife's big-hearted companion room, the eldest master wants to tear the hearts of their mother and son, even if the third child is separated from the house, but he is still the master of the Li family, what he asked people to send back, how dare the family swallow it like this?
Although he knew that his wife had nothing to do with this matter, and he had already abandoned Mama Cai, when he thought about it, the eldest man still felt very uncomfortable.
Why didn't the wife find out that something was wrong with Mama Cai's mother and son? If it weren't for the eldest daughter's cleverness, I am afraid that they would have to wait until someone from Li Jingshi came to the door to know that this kind of thing had happened.
When the father and daughter entered the door, when the old man Li looked at Li Jing, he suddenly had an illusion that his father was alive again, and everyone said since he was a child that he was born most like his father, the second brother looks the most like his mother, and the third brother is not like anyone.
He and his second brother were also somewhat affected by this, thinking that the third brother was not from his father, so why did his father favor him until this moment.
Li Jingshi stepped forward and shouted big brother, and asked Li Qianqian to see the courtesy, Li Qianqian obediently stepped forward to bless the eldest master, but the eldest man jumped up in fright, and said continuously, "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to be." β
Li Jingshi was stunned, looking at his daughter puzzled, Li Qianqian shrugged at him, don't ask her, she knew that the old man's tendons were wrong.
"Big brother, when did you arrive and stay there?"
"We arrived yesterday and stayed at the Happy Inn in Dongcheng, and your eldest niece and wife are still there, let me tell you! Your eldest niece and son-in-law are a talented ......," the eldest lord said of his eldest son-in-law, and when he was happy, he forgot his original plan.
Li Jingshi heard him rise up, did not interrupt him, and even refilled three cups of tea for him, the eldest man just said it happily, he turned his head to see Li Qianqian, and suddenly thought of the matter that the eldest son-in-law was going to live in Beijing, and he was about to mention this matter after clearing his throat.
"The eldest brother and sister-in-law brought the eldest niece and husband and wife to do it by themselves? Didn't you say that the mother and the second sister-in-law also came, why didn't they see anyone?"
The eldest lord reacted at this time, yes! They didn't see their mother and brother-in-law all the way, and they didn't know where they went? These two weak women, from Liancheng to the capital, don't get lost!
Looking at the face of the eldest master, Li Jingshi knew that the eldest master was probably coaxed by the eldest daughter and his wife to get carried away this way, and he didn't even notice that the old mother was gone.
"I asked people to rent a house for my grandmother to live in, and after a while I accompanied my eldest brother to take a look to see if there was anything wrong there, and before my mother arrived, I quickly asked someone to fix it. β
Ga rented a house for his mother, do you plan to let them live there?
"Why do you spend this money? The General's Mansion is so big, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate a few of us?"
"Isn't this already separated? If my mother comes to the capital, if she is crowded with us in the General's Mansion, I am afraid that outsiders will say that the eldest brother and the second brother are not filial! Isn't the eldest niece and son-in-law going to take the imperial examination? If this is affected, then I can't help the eldest niece!"
Li Jingshi's mind turned and he figured out that the eldest brother should plan to let his daughter and son-in-law borrow to live in the general's mansion, so that not only the eldest niece and son-in-law can borrow his power, but the eldest niece can also logically take charge of the inner house of the general's mansion, who let him not have a wife to run the house?
Even if there is a daughter, a shallow little girl is not suitable for the head of the family, it is better to entrust it to the eldest niece who is already a wife and may become an official wife.
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed directly at the hidden worries of the eldest lord, and sure enough, the eldest lord heard him say this, and he retreated a little, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned during the Li Jing, and the old lady Li intervened in the affairs of the third room, and her hand was already too long, and he did not expect that the eldest niece who had married a wife would not be much better than that! )
