Shuilan City has a lot of water, in addition to the lane for cars and horses to walk, there are waterways, for boats to walk, in addition to the large and small waterways in the city, there are several lakes of different sizes, there are two wharves outside the city, for ships to berth, Shuilan County Wangfu is luxurious, near the largest wharf, a special wharf was built, and several big ships were parked on the wharf, which is almost comparable to Captain Bai's boat.

Rui Yao opened a restaurant next to the largest wharf, opened a restaurant and a teahouse outside the smaller wharf, and also opened a grocery store, specializing in groceries from the north and south.

Although there is no contact between the two sides, the former four elders, now Zhang Jianye, the general manager of Ruifeng Warehouse and Sihai Caravan, have long looked for another partner to cooperate, and now this Sihai grocery store has a very good business, and if you want any rare things, you can easily buy it if the caravan wants to go out, or if there are goods in the store.

Of course, since it is a rare thing, the cost is naturally not low, but those who will buy rare things have a family background, so they don't care about spending that money.

Over time, the name of the grocery store in the four seas was played.

As for restaurants, restaurants and teahouses, the business is not bad, so Zhang Jianye bought a family property in Shuilan City early, and built a Ruiyao rudder here.

Li Qianqian said that they have a place to live, what they are talking about is the Shuilan rudder, I have to say that Zhang Jianye's vision is good, the rudder is located next to the most beautiful Qingshui Lake in Shuilan City, and the nearby people live in Shuilan City.

After Lan Tang and the others left Master Li's residence, they went straight to Shuilan to divide the rudder, and the rudder master had already received the news and led the rudder to wait at the gate.

Seeing the convoy coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and when he saw Lan Tang and them getting out of the car, he looked at Zhang Duoli and was a little distracted for a while, but the deputy helmsman pulled him in time to let him come back to his senses.

They had only seen Li Qianqian's side from a distance before, at that time she was still a small and cute little girl, so short that she couldn't construct the paper on the table, and she could only write on the paper on the table when she stood on a chair, after many years, they really couldn't see which of the two beautiful girls in front of them was their leader.

They vaguely remember that the wife of the head of Mr. Zhang once said that the sect leader was born like a jade girl in front of the Bodhisattva, so the sect leader would be this beautiful girl?

"The sect leader has just gone to see Mrs. Li, let's come over and settle it first. Yunzhu saw them staring at Zhang Duoli, and sighed secretly in her heart, Miss Zhang was so beautiful, she was stared at everywhere she went, and she was so big at all, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to be looked at like this.

Zhang Duoli has long been accustomed to being watched by others, and she didn't take the helmsman and others to heart, she and the maids were talking and laughing.

Seeing that they were still entangled, Lan Tang asked impatiently, "Where is our residence?" Hurry up and take us to settle down, and your sect leader will come back in a while, we haven't done anything yet." ”

Only then did the helmsman react, and personally led them to the courtyard that had been cleaned up earlier.

And Li Qianqian here, Master Li led her and Ji Yaoshen to see Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li's house was very quiet, a few maids and servants sat under the porch, they were doing needlework, and they were laughing quietly, the volume was very small, it seemed that they should be used to it.

When the mother-in-law who was guarding the door saw the eldest man coming, she sent someone to inform them, so as soon as they noticed that there was movement at the door, they put down their needles and threads and stood up.

Master Li nodded at them, and led Li Qianqian and them into the house.

"Huh, why are there two young ladies with three rooms?" asked a maid curiously.

"The two young ladies are so beautiful!" the younger maid touched her round face, a little envious of the appearance of the two young ladies.

"The smaller lady is pretty, and the other one looks proud. "That's the opinion of older grandmothers.

A maid who came from Liancheng with the old lady said, "The smaller lady is the third lady, and the higher one should be the daughter of Prince Ping." ”

As soon as she said this, other people also reacted, I had heard someone say earlier that the old lady had a niece in her mother's family, and she married into the prince's mansion, and I heard that she gave birth to a son to the prince two years ago, and it turned out that she also had a daughter! It seems that this daughter is not very easy to get along with!

The maids and servants outside were talking, but the needles in the house could be heard, Master Li led them into the inner room, and in the inner room, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li were there, and when they saw Master Li come in, Mrs. Li stepped forward with her skirt, and then saw Li Qianqian.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady trembled, although Li Qianqian didn't do anything, but the eldest lady thought of some old things she accidentally heard, and her heart was a little weak.

Li Qianqian didn't notice that something was wrong with her, but Chunjiang noticed it, and looked at her several times, the eldest lady was already weak, and she felt even more weak when she saw her, so she found an excuse to slip away.

Mrs. Li Er has always given people the impression that she is soft and weak, but Li Qianqian knows that this woman is not simple.

Mrs. Li is always sick now, and more than half of it is due to her, but because she is doing well on the surface, no one in the family suspects that she is secretly doing something.

The reason why Li Qianqian knew was naturally due to the pigeon guards, and the reason why she didn't let people expose her was because she didn't want Mrs. Li to be in good health, so she started to blame again, and the pigeon guards actually played a preventive role, and didn't let the second wife be ruthless to the old lady in a fit of anger.

Mrs. Li stepped forward with a smile and asked Li Qianqian for warmth, and Li Qianqian replied to her questions one by one with a light smile on her face.

Mrs. Li was half sitting and half leaning on the head of the bed, her eyes squinting slightly, as if she wanted to see the person in front of her.

When she saw Li Qianqian's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ghost!"

Master Li's face turned black! What the hell is it! "Mother, are you dazzled? Where did the ghost come from in the blue sky and day?"

Mrs. Li's emotions were very excited, Li Qianqian tilted her head to look at her, and looked at Mrs. Li thoughtfully for a long time, Master Li saw that his mother's situation was not right, so he hurriedly jumped to his feet, sent someone to invite the doctor, and wanted to appease his wife, because the old lady's emotions were too excited.

The doctor had warned that if his mother was so emotional, there was no need to invite him again.

Why did the old lady see herself and rush out of her mouth as a ghost word?

Who does she look like, and that person is dead, that's why she shouts? Who does she look like? Except for Li Jingshi, who else is the eldest grandson? Oh, no, there is another person, she will be like her father's biological mother, the aunt who died young.

Could it be that her own grandmother's death is strange?

In fact, in the courtyard of the deep house, all the women are guarding the one acre and three points of land, guarding a man, how can they coexist peacefully? The old lady is in the main room, and when she enters the door, she has red makeup, and what about the concubine's room? Relying on the favor of men, some of them are shallow-eyed, so they don't take the main room in their eyes.

Li Qianqian didn't know if her grandmother who died early was also like this, but as soon as the old lady died, she immediately asked her father to marry a wife in filial piety, and separated people the next day after marriage, which shows that she hated her father, so as soon as her grandfather died, she immediately drove people out.

As for letting her father marry a wife, it is nothing more than trying to cut off his future.

It is the order of the mother-in-law, and I have to follow it, but getting married during the period of filial piety of the deceased father, no matter what the cause, will be eye-catching, and if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you will definitely be affected.

I don't know if her father can grow up healthy and healthy, is it because Mrs. Li's ability is too poor? Or is it because the old lady is eager to protect her son and can't let her succeed?

Although so many thoughts flashed in Li Qianqian's heart, there was no show on her face, but because she was absent-minded, she didn't notice that the second Mrs. Li in front of her instantly distorted her face when she heard Mrs. Li shouting that ghost.

Chunjiang, who had been staring at her, found out, and she couldn't help but turn her head curiously to look at Mrs. Li, did she see the ghost that her sect leader shouted?

Chunshou was not so careful, she stood behind Li Qianqian, next to Ji Yaoshen, that is, she prevented Ji Yaoshen from getting too close to her family leader.

Ji Yaoshen's maid naturally saw it in her eyes, and her heart was quite unfair, her young lady was a young lady from the prince's mansion, and Sect Master Li was just a Jianghu person, even if her father was a general, so what? Her young lady was a royal clansman.

Ji Yaoshen was still immersed in the shock of seeing Mrs. Li at first sight, the impression of the old lady was a very energetic old lady, her body was always neatly combed, and she was still incense, I remember when I first met, the old lady's amiable appearance made her find a support in the middle of the night in the middle of winter.

Since then, she has regarded the old lady as a backer, but in the old lady's heart, the most important thing is not her, but her mother.

Thinking of what the second master Li did to her mother, after the outbreak broke out, the old lady asked the second master Li to take her mother into the room, Ji Yaoshen couldn't say that she was not angry, since she wanted to force the third daughter-in-law to give way to her mother, why didn't she do things well?

Why didn't their mother and daughter be recorded in the ancestral tree, and why did such a loophole be left?

Ji Yaoshen, like Li Qianqian, thought about a lot of things, but she didn't show it on her face, she had lived in Prince Ping's Mansion for many years, and this city still had it.

Mrs. Li seemed to be in a magic barrier, constantly screaming and dodging, and grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it out, if it wasn't for the stroke and the inflexibility of her hands and feet, she didn't let her hit someone.

But Master Li's face is as black as the bottom of a pot, what's going on with his mother? Don't ask her old man to give him a long face, but don't pull him back?

Obviously, the mother and son have no understanding of the spirit, the old lady is self-defeating, but the eldest master doesn't want to embarrass her anymore.

"Your grandmother has been in prison for months since she was killed, and she has not been very clear about her mind, and she is not very serious now, she has always lost her mind like this. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, I came this time, and I also invited the daughter of the miracle doctor to come with me, my sister Tang's medical skills have to be taught by her father, and she also brought a lot of pills carefully developed by the miracle doctor, I believe that the two-pronged approach will definitely make great progress in my grandmother's condition." ”

Master Li finally smiled in his eyes when he heard this, and was about to give his hand to thank him, but he was hit on the head by an unexpected pillow, and the whole person was a little dizzy for a while, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, Li Qianqian saw that his situation was not right, and he was busy looking at Chunjiang, Chunjiang quickly moved over, stretched out his hand and probed his wrist, and then bowed his head to Li Qianqian.

When Mrs. Li saw this scene, she was so nervous that her whole heart was raised, lest Li Qianqian and the others would see something.

Because Mrs. Li was out of control and couldn't calm down, Li Qianqian decided not to stay to stimulate her anymore, lest the old lady have something to do in the future and put the responsibility on her head.

Ji Yaoshen originally wanted to follow, but Mrs. Li Er pulled her and didn't let go, as if she had countless questions to ask her.

In the end, Master Li couldn't look at it, "The child came from afar, what do you want to ask, can't you wait for her to rest before asking?"

Second Mrs. Li immediately cowered like a cat and a mouse, "Yes, what the eldest brother said is that it was all my fault that made the child wronged." While talking, he stretched out his hand to pull Ji Yaoshen, and he didn't pay her compensation.

Ji Yaoshen actually has very complicated feelings about the second wife, when she first entered the Li family, the second wife and the eldest wife loved her very much, took care of her, and asked their daughter to take her, but as time passed, she grew up slowly, and her mother also got involved with the second master, facing the second wife who was the main wife, Ji Yaoshen felt deeply sorry for her mother's actions that hurt her.

On the other hand, she blamed her for her inaction as a wife, why didn't she care about her husband, and let her husband mess around like this, if it wasn't for her husband to seduce her mother, her mother would sit in the position of the third wife, and she wouldn't have to be trapped in the inner courtyard of Prince Ping's mansion, God knows how hard she has been all these years.

She avoided the second wife's hand, shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal, my mother and younger brother are very good in the palace, the princess is kind, and the princess is lenient, so we are doing well in the palace, if we are not doing well, the princess will not agree to let me come to Shuilan City." ”

That's right. Master Li didn't think too much, and when he saw that what she said was reasonable, he asked her to take her to rest.

Mrs. Li has slowly regained her calm since Li Qianqian left, but she was still a little afraid, and timidly beckoned to her son.

"No, it won't. Old Man Li comforted the old lady, but Old Lady Li didn't believe what he said, and asked again and again, and only when the old man was about to go crazy did she ask about her younger son. "She's here, what about your brother? Why didn't you see your brother?"

"The second brother suffered a crime this time, he fell ill halfway, and encountered heavy snowfall this year, so he finally recovered from his illness. This is what Li Qianqian told him.

"Sick, what about ......" Mrs. Li was so anxious that she began to speak unclearly, so anxious that her tears fell.

The eldest man sighed secretly, and started a new round of appeasement drama, and finally calmed down the old lady. "He was also tired all the way, the doctor said to let him have a good rest, and when he woke up, I immediately asked him to come and say hello to you. ”

"Don't, don't disturb him, don't disturb him to sleep. When he was fully asleep, he woke up naturally, and did he hear it? The old lady did not hear the eldest son's answer, but reached out to his arm and beckoned him vigorously, causing the old man's face to wrinkle in pain.

"Did you hear that?"

"I hear you. The eldest man shook his head secretly, his mother loves her younger son, it has always been like this, it has been so many years, he should have gotten used to it a long time ago, but why does he still feel sour in his heart?
