Chapter 673: Death
After Li Qianqian read the news of Li Fu, she saw the news that Mrs. Ye Zhuang gave birth to a son, and after reading it, she handed it to Lan Tang and said, "Mrs. Ye Zhuang gave birth to a son." ”
"It's more than seven catties!" Lan Tang looked at it and imagined a little doll that looked like both the owner of Ye Zhuang and the wife of the owner of Ye Zhuang, well, it was a little difficult! It was not difficult to imagine that the little doll looked like his mother, but it was not difficult to imagine a little doll that looked like the owner of Ye Zhuang, Lan Tang burst out laughing.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Duoli asked hurriedly when she saw that she could smile like this when she looked at a note.
Lan Tang told her his imagination, and now the number of people who imagined the picture expanded, Yunzhu and Chunjiang had all seen the husband and wife of the owner of Ye Zhuang, the lord of Ye Zhuang looked very dignified, and the wife of the owner of Ye Zhuang looked Shuli and Zhang Duoli had a struggle, but it was difficult for everyone to imagine what the majestic appearance of the young version of the owner of Ye Zhuang looked like.
Li Qianqian saw that they were all immersed in the appearance of the Ye family's baby, and couldn't help but remind, "The child is about to be full moon after birth, what is this full moon gift going to give, you all have plans in your hearts?"
Lan Tang and the others were stunned, to be honest, they really didn't think about it, but it's no wonder that they are not married yet, and this kind of thing is still a bit far away for them, and the most important thing is that the female elders around them are not very responsible.
The eldest lady only thought about giving Li Jingjing to Li Qianqian, and asked Li Jingshi to work for her daughter's marriage, not to mention the second wife, Mrs. Jiang naturally didn't think about teaching Ji Yao to take care of the accounts and manage the family, and it was impossible to teach her about going to relatives.
Zhang Duoli grew up with her master, basically speaking, she was two lonely and had no relatives, so naturally she never thought that after the child was born, she would have to give wine and gifts.
Li Qianqian mentioned this, Mother Ye found out that she was derelict in her duties, why did she forget to tell the sect leader about these human relations.
It's just that she didn't expect that even what she had forgotten would be remembered by the sect leader.
"Sect Master, how do you know that the child is going to give wine and gifts on the full moon?" Mother Ye asked curiously, Lan Tang and the others also stared at her, Li Qianqian was with them all day long, it didn't make sense that she knew, they didn't know.
"When I still lived in the small courtyard of the Li family, there were aunts and sisters-in-law in the village who had a big belly the day before, and after disappearing for a few days, I heard that they gave birth to a baby, and then when the baby was born in the full moon, the whole village would set up wine for the baby's birthday, and the uncles in the village would get together to drink, and they would hold the baby out for everyone to see. ”
In fact, when she was in the Li family's courtyard, Li Qianqian had only seen pregnant women, and had never eaten full moon wine, she thought that everyone knew that she was going to give a full moon gift, but she didn't expect that when she said it, it would attract everyone's curiosity, and she couldn't wait to reward herself with a slap, call you more mouthful, call you more mouthful!
"I see. Mother Ye was relieved, since she learned it from the people in the village before she went to the sect leader's side to wait, then it was no wonder that she knew, but Miss Tang didn't know.
Lan Tang heard her talk about the Li family's courtyard, and suddenly thought of something, and her face became a little tangled, "I forgot to ask you before if you want to go to the Li family's courtyard, but now that you are about to return to the capital, even if you ask, it's useless." ”
Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, Lan Tang was saying that he forgot to ask her if she wanted to go home to sweep her mother's grave! Li Qianqian lowered his eyes and shook his head, "It's almost time to arrive in the capital, and when my father and them come back, let's go to my mother's grave together! I don't know where my third brother is, I don't know if he is alive or dead, and when I get to my mother's grave, I really don't know how to tell her." ”
Lan Tang stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, "I don't know where your third brother is now?"
"I went to sea, so there has been no news for so long, I don't know if my cousin will remember to tell my father that they are in Dongqi, and it is most convenient to check. ”
When Zhang Duoli heard this, he urged Chunjiang and them to grind ink and lay paper, "Hurry up, while they haven't come back yet, write a letter to them and let them check, Fengjiazhuang has always been well-informed, Gongzi and the Great Sect Master are both in Dongqi, and they are staring at people nearby to check." ”
Li Qian pursed his lips and smiled and wrote a letter, leaving behind all the calculations of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li. “
Thinking of the third brother who was sold into slavery, Li Qianqian couldn't help but hate Mrs. Li, this old woman was so hateful, after writing the letter, she handed it to Liu Yi to send out, she wrote another letter, wrote down all the actions of the eldest wife and the second wife, and then asked people to send it to Master Li.
The eldest lady is a self-righteous mother, but she is not a virgin, and her father is not Li Jingjing's fairy godmother, so why should they take care of Li Jingjing's lifelong affairs in the third room? Last time, she had already said it so plainly, the eldest lady was tricked by the second wife, did the eldest lady know or not? If he was an insider, then don't blame her for taking back all the preferential treatment she had given to the Li family before.
People are going to step on her, so don't you want her to protect herself? Do you want to give all kinds of favors to those who hurt her? I'm sorry, she can't do that kind of virgin behavior, and if you want to step on her, you have to be mentally prepared, and she will fight back.
It's just that to deal with this kind of inner house woman, she can't use force, which makes Li Qianqian helpless, she wants to beat people happily! It's a pity that her cousin taught her martial arts not to let her bully ordinary people who don't know martial arts, so no matter how much she hates Mrs. Li and them, she can't beat them up.
Especially in this world, filial piety is supreme, no matter what hurtful things the elders have done to you, as a junior, you have to live and endure, but it doesn't matter, we can't face it head-on, but we can move forward in a roundabout way, although the eldest wife is the housewife in Loei, but there is a mother-in-law and a husband, and the things she does have to avoid the eldest master, if the eldest lord knows her idea, he will definitely not spare her.
And the second wife, uh-huh! In order to avenge his so-called personal vendetta, he wants to tear the general's mansion into the water? I believe that the eldest master will make the wisest decision.
When the ship arrived at the dock of Tongzhou, the eldest lord who was far away in Shuilan City finally received a letter delivered by the four elders himself.
As soon as Zhan Xin read it, his face immediately turned black, and the four elders watched him change their faces with satisfaction, and at the same time did not forget to step on the eldest wife and the second wife, daring to calculate his family leader?
Thinking of his sons' high-spirited appearance now, the business of the tea shop is booming, and the days are rushing, the corners of his mouth can't help but turn up, thinking of what Liu Yi notified him, when he looked at Master Li, his eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold light.
If Mrs. Li Er is allowed to do the thing, just thinking about the four elders will feel cold all over, Prince Ping is the emperor's younger brother, and the emperor values Li Jingshi connived at the family and went to Prince Ping's mansion to commit murder, no matter who the target of the murder is, just be caught by Prince Ping, what will the outside say?
In order to protect his reputation, being sacrificed is Li Jingshi's family, and the sect leader is the daughter of Li Jingshi, so it is impossible to say that the Ruiyao Sect will be implicated.
If the Ruiyao Church was implicated, then Mrs. Li and her family would definitely not be able to escape, thinking that if the family was separated, it would be none of their business? If the family was really separated, then why did the father and son of Li Jingshi go to war on behalf of the eldest master?
How could the eldest lady want to send Li Jingjing into Beijing and hand it over to Li Jingshi, and ask him to help Li Jingjing find her in-law's house?
The eldest lord looked at Li Qianqian's letter, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he finally finished reading it, he raised his head and asked the four elders for confirmation, "Don't hide it from my brother, I've been busy outside all this time, and it's inevitable that things at home will be negligent, this, they, are really as ...... letter says."
"Master, I believe that as long as you check with your heart, you will definitely be able to find out clearly, I won't tell you anything first, lest you think that I deliberately misled you, this mansion is full of people from your Li family, I believe that you, a master in charge, must have a way to get the answer from their mouths." ”
After the four elders finished speaking, they got up and left, and the eldest master pinched Li Qianqian's letter and remained silent for a long time.
The waiter stood aside and didn't dare to move, what was written in the letter of the Li sect leader?
"Let's go, go back to the city. The old man smoothed and folded the letter and put it in his arms, and then got up and walked out of the construction site, and the people waiting were busy catching up, but somehow the old man was so fast that they almost couldn't catch up.
Hurried back to the city, not far from the front of the house, I heard a cry, and the eldest lord rode directly into the house, startling the stewards who came to greet him.
"The old man's day is mournful!" A white-haired steward saw that his feet were slow, and he couldn't catch up with the young steward, let alone the big man on horseback, so he simply knelt down on the spot and shouted.
When the old man heard the sound, he was so anxious to rein in the horse, the horse was in pain and stood up with his front hooves and kicked, the old man dismounted, turned his head to look at the steward, the white-haired steward shouted again, and the other stewards hurriedly knelt down and shouted.
This sound of mourning reminds the eldest master of a cruel fact, his wife is dead!
It was dark in front of him, and the old man fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the top of the tent on his bed, and he was a little hesitant, how could he be lying on the bed, seeing through the light in the window, with a little golden, it was the sunset?
The eldest lady came in with a tray, saw that he was awake, rushed to the table, threw the tray up, and then rushed straight to the eldest master.
"Master, sir, you, mourn, mother, go!" said the eldest lady, covering her face and crying.
The eldest lord slowly turned his head to look at her, and looked at her for a long time, and the people who waited in the house for a long time could hardly stand the stagnant pressure, and when they wanted to escape from the door, the eldest lord suddenly burst into tears.
The eldest lady cried with her, but it is unknown whether she was crying for her mother-in-law's death in her heart, or whether she was crying for her mother-in-law's death.
Mrs. Li passed away, as an unmarried granddaughter to keep filial piety for one year, the eldest brother had to keep filial piety for three years, even if Li Jingjing's marriage is optimistic, it will drag on for a year before getting married, the eldest lord They are not officials, Li Jingshi is an official, and his mother has passed away, even if he has been separated, for the sake of reputation, it is necessary to keep three years of filial piety, unless the emperor speaks to win love.
But even so, it's inconvenient for him to see his niece in the next room, right?
Therefore, even if she sends Li Jingjing to Beijing, she will only be sent back by their father and son during the Li Jing, who guards filial piety, so why bother tossing her daughter like this? Li Jingjing is not young, and when her father comes out of filial piety and comes to handle the marriage for her, how old will she be?
Thinking of this, the eldest lady cried even more sadly.
The old man suddenly choked up and called someone in a loud voice.
The steward was already outside, but it was not easy to enter the inner room, so he only stood outside the door and shouted to the eldest lord.
The eldest lord thought of what Li Qianqian said in the letter, he didn't care about sadness and rules, and nothing was more important than catching the person who hurt his mother.
"Come in. ”
The stewards looked at each other, and finally the white-haired steward was the first to step into the inner room, the old man was too sad, but the old lady's funeral could not be delayed, and now it was an emergency, and it was important to care about the empty courtesy?
Seeing him walk in, the other stewards gritted their teeth and followed him into the inner room.
The eldest master didn't have any opening words, and directly ordered them to take people to detain the second wife and all the people waiting around her.
"Master, what are you doing here?" Thinking that her husband was too sad and crazy, the eldest lady hurriedly opened her mouth to stop her.
"Get out of the way, you idiot who doesn't know anyone, my mother died in her hands, you still listen to her, and want to send Jingjing to Beijing to make trouble for her third uncle?
The eldest lord saw that the eldest lady was dumbfounded, ignored her, and urged the steward to arrest the second wife and her henchmen.
and asked the rest of the stewards to set up the mourning hall, when the old lady was in prison before, they prepared a longevity material, which didn't come in handy at that time, but I didn't expect to use it now.
The eldest lady was completely blindfolded, and her mother-in-law died at the hands of the second wife? How did her husband know? A lot of questions were circling in her mind, and after the eldest man drank the ginseng soup brought by the next person, he finally had some strength.
Seeing that his wife was still sitting on the ground in despair, the eldest man lowered his head and looked at the ginseng soup in his hand, "Who ordered this?"
"Back to the master's words, it was explained by Miss Jingjing. The servant woman who came to serve the ginseng soup thought that the eldest master was angry, and replied timidly, complaining about Li Jingjing in her heart, and also sighing for her luck, and thought that it was a good errand to send ginseng soup to the eldest master at this time, but she didn't expect to be scolded.
"Well, well done, go and invite Miss Jingjing over. The eldest man glanced at his wife again, and sighed secretly, I'm afraid that if he knew that he had fainted, his wife would keep crying, right? Now there is only one concubine in the family, and the other concubines, whether they are in the big room or the second room, probably didn't think of helping to take care of the family, and he thought of it, and he didn't forget to ask someone to get him a bowl of ginseng soup.
He didn't know that it wasn't that the concubines in the family didn't want to help, but that they were concubines, and the subordinates in the family didn't buy their accounts and didn't listen to them, even if they had the heart, they couldn't do anything.
The stewards who were ordered to take down the second wife and her henchmen soon finished the errand, the second master was overly sad, and fainted directly to the old lady, the second wife and others shouted desperately for him to save people, but unfortunately the second master couldn't hear, and when he woke up, he didn't see his eldest brother and wife, nor did he see his wife, although the second master felt strange, but the death of the old lady made his mind suffer a serious blow, and his brain was dizzy and couldn't think about it at all.
After exchanging glances with the cronies around him, he stepped forward to persuade him to sleep, "The old lady's funeral still has to be handled by you and the eldest master, you can sleep, and when you wake up, maybe the eldest master will have a good idea." ”
They know very well that the second master does not like trouble, and this time he is bound to help his brother take care of things, so let him hide if he can be lazy at this time! After the old lady's filial piety is over, the two brothers will also be separated, and it is impossible for the second room to stay in the big house all the time.
After dividing the family, no matter how unhappy the second master is, he has to carry his own small family, and now, it is a moment to make him relaxed! Several cronies sighed secretly, and looked at the second master who fell into a deep sleep with some sympathy.
