Chapter 686: Calculating
Li Shaoxi changed the topic with a smile, and asked about the hot spring inn that will be completed, this is an achievement of Master Li, he has been involved since fundraising, for him, it is the sum of many firsts, the first time the Jiang family was crushed to death, and finally no longer let them be pressed on their own heads, the first time they were rushed to invest, the first time they looked at a large piece of woodland, and slowly changed to their current appearance......
He had long wanted to talk to someone for a good time, but the second brother had always been a muddy person, and he looked like a human! The eldest son was frail, and he had to take care of the Li family's property in the Nancheng area, so he didn't dare to tell him too much, for fear that he would think too much and not be good for his health.
Not to mention the wife, who is tired when she thinks about it.
finally came to someone who could talk, and Master Li had a feeling that he had finally found a confidant!
Li Mingxi followed his eldest brother to build an inn, and he felt a lot about what Master Li said, so one more person joined the organization.
Li Lingxi was thinking about starting a career, so that his brothers could have a place to go, and when he heard them talk about the hot spring inn, he was a little confused at first, and the more he listened, the more interested he became, and when he knew that there was an inn that was built by his eldest brother and second brother together, his interest was even higher.
When an inn was being built, the two brothers threw him in the capital and ran away without a trace, and now they finally know what they did at the beginning, and he listened to it with relish, and interjected from time to time to ask.
They chatted very vigorously here, and Second Master Li was embarrassed to leave.
Li Qianqian saw that they were chatting happily, and slipped away halfway.
As soon as she took Chunjiang and the others out, she saw the big girl next to the eldest lady waiting by the path.
"Sect Master Li, our eldest lady is invited. ”
"Hmm. Li Qianqian nodded, and took Chunjiang and the others to follow the big girl to see the eldest lady.
The eldest lady politely chatted with her for a few words, and then sent the maid to lead her to the residence, "Go and see, see if there is any disagreement there, call someone to tell me, this is my own home, but don't be polite to us." ”
"Yes, thank you, auntie. Li Qianqian smiled back and followed the maid away.
The eldest lady behind her watched them walk away, and couldn't help but sigh, "You say, how good it would have been if you had won this honor back then!"
Originally, this time I saw Jingjing's performance at her grandmother's funeral quite beneficial, she was quite pleased, but after seeing Li Qianqian, she couldn't help but think of other people's achievements, look, Rui Yao taught those money-making businesses, her own family still entrusted her blessings, and she made a lot of money, and then looked at her daughter, the eldest lady couldn't help but sigh!
Comparing goods has to be thrown, and people are more popular than people.
Li Qianqian is the child of someone else's family, obviously a short-lived life, as soon as she landed, her father's life and death were uncertain, her mother was weak and sick, she was also a sick and disaster-ridden person, and her purity, born down, was a good life girl who was humane.
It's only been a few years of hard work, and the encounters between the two people are like worlds apart.
"Miss Jingjing has her own luck, don't compare her to others. The henchman persuaded.
How can you not compare it?
Back then, back then, if she was pure and won the favor of the master of the Great Sect of Li, then everything that Li Qianqian has now belongs to her daughter! Even if Li Qianqian is the daughter of the marquis, her pure purity is also the master of a sect, isn't it?
The henchman shook her head secretly, the eldest lady This is a magic barrier, even if Miss Jingjing did not take the initiative against the Li Sect back then, and went to the main altar of the Ruiyao Sect in Liancheng smoothly and safely, she may not be able to enter the eyes of the Li Sect Master, after all, Miss Jingjing is a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, and she worships under the door of the Li Sect Master, but if she wants to practice martial arts, they Miss Jingjing is a person who can endure hardships.
The eldest lady only saw the current scenery of the Li sect leader, but she never thought about how much suffering and how many sins people had suffered in private, so that they could get today's scenery.
She had heard that Rui Yao taught the fourth elder that he used to be in charge of the mine, and the people under his hands suffered hardships and hardships, and the gold and silver mines that they dug up with great difficulty were all taken away cheaply by the eldest elder and the second elder, and the miners had to work hard, and if they were sick, they would not even be able to pay for medicine every day.
If something happens to the mine and the family dies and is disabled, who will the family rely on to eat and drink?
Later, the four elders didn't care about the mine, and led their subordinates to change the warehouse caravan, the scale is getting bigger and bigger year by year, and now there are caravans and warehouses everywhere, and life is much better than before.
Her mother's handkerchief was married to the miners under the four elders, and within two years of marriage, her father-in-law died in the mine disaster, and another year later, her husband's eldest brother and eldest brother-in-law also died, and the second brother was disabled.
It's just that he is a scholar in the end, unlike his brothers who have been used to working since childhood, and he was tired not long after he went, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the eldest sister-in-law died her husband, and was driven back by her in-laws who said that Kefu, and even brought back the four children she gave birth to.
All of a sudden, there were five more people to support, and such a large family of people barely made ends meet by relying on her mother's handkerchiefs and her concubines embroidering flowers and growing vegetables.
Later, the four elders closed the pit and changed it to a warehouse and caravan business, and her husband, who was handed over by her handkerchief, was hired to work as an accountkeeper because he could read and write, although his second brother was disabled, but he had a good brain, and he could learn to learn and teach, and he took care of the accounts with his brother, and the women in the family learned to grow herbs in addition to vegetables.
There are many families like her mother's handkerchief, which is all due to the vitality brought by the caravans and warehouses from all over the world, not to mention those mountain people, because the warehouses and caravans help them bring out the medicinal herbs, furs, and prey produced in the mountains, and their lives are much better than before.
And this, I heard that it was all the idea of the Li sect leader!
What did Miss Jingjing do when she was the age of Sect Master Li? For the sake of an invitation, she tried to kill her cousin in the third room.
The henchman didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that the eldest lady would see her expression, the leader of the Li sect had no mother at a young age, but what did the people do? Miss Jingjing has a father and a mother by her side, but she bullies people all day long, either the sisters or the sisters in the second room.
Immediate opinion.
If she is the leader of the Li University, she will also choose the Li sect leader as a disciple.
The henchman thought about it so much in an instant, but he didn't dare to show half of it on his face.
The eldest lady is just venting her grievances, when she really faces Li Qianqian, she doesn't dare to do anything, she has to pinch her nose, help her decorate the room, and move everything good to her room, the eldest lady thinks of the old lady who has just passed away, who would have thought that as soon as the old lady died, the people in the third room would come to live in a grand manner?
Thinking of the time when the old lady passed away, the old lady happily married a wife for Li Jingshi, and then left the house cleanly, without giving a penny, and drove the young couple out of the house.
But they are really powerful, they have calluses and feet, but they have earned the industry in a short period of time, but the old lady is very angry, and she has found a lot of people, promised a lot of favors, and forced people out of Nancheng.
In such a predicament, the two of them were forced to live in a small mountain village like Lingnan Village, thinking that the poor couple would mourn everything, but they didn't expect the eldest grandson to be really good, in that environment, they never abandoned their husbands, and gave birth to four sons to him.
Four healthy and strong sons!
Even though the eldest grandson has passed away for many years, every time the eldest lady thinks about it, she can't help but feel evil in her belly.
I thought that I was pregnant with a child, so I carefully guarded it, but as a result, Tianci was born weak and sickly.
The old lady thought that by driving out Li Jingshi's family, she would win the old lady, she would never have imagined that the father and son of the third room would be knighted, and as soon as she died, they would return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors and live in the house naturally.
If the old lady was still alive, she would definitely die of anger! Thinking of this, the eldest lady couldn't help but want to laugh, in fact she did, but she laughed and laughed and began to cry, and this cry was out of control, and frightened the waiter, and finally she could only coax the eldest lady to drink a bowl of soothing tea, and let her sleep before she was quiet.
The henchman saw that the eldest lady was asleep, and was busy going to see the eldest master.
Just came to the outside of the hall, and was stopped by the eldest master's entourage. After telling the story again, he asked, "Do you want to report to the master?"
After listening to her, Chang Sui said, "No need, the eldest lord and the Hou Ye are chatting energetically, so don't take this matter, let the eldest master dislike it!"
The henchman had no choice but to reply.
Li Qianqian followed the maid for a long time, and finally came to the courtyard prepared for her by the eldest lady.
"This is it. The maid who led the way smiled and pointed to the red courtyard doorway, the courtyard door was closed, the maid stepped forward and patted the door, and it took a long time for someone to reply, "Who?"
"Granny Liu, it's me, I brought the guest over. ”
"Oh, here, here, wait for me in a moment! "That's right, but this Granny Liu still made them wait for about a quarter of an hour to open the door.
The maid who led the way thought that Li Qianqian would be angry, but who knew that people were calm and relaxed, and they had to look around leisurely.
Granny Liu opened the door and made amends, and the maid who led the way laughed with her, and led Li Qianqian and them in.
This courtyard is not big, but as soon as you enter the courtyard, there are many maids waiting, and there are about twenty maids and servants standing in the small courtyard.
Li smiled lightly and looked at the maid who led the way, and introduced her to the maid and servant woman in the courtyard.
When she finished speaking, Li Qianqian asked, "Finished?" As she spoke, she walked into the house, and she frowned when she saw the furnishings in the house.
"That's it. The maid who led the way chased after him.
"Well, when you're done, let's take people out!" I think she's a fool? These people were just let in by Mrs. Liu, and you still want to tell her that she was waiting in this courtyard in the first place, when she didn't know anything?
After a round in the main hall, Chunjiang finally took away a big red sprinkled gold chair on the Taishi chair, and Li Qianqian sat down.
"Huh, they're all waiting in the Flower Courtyard!" said the maid who led the way.
"Yes, but I don't have to wait that much. Li Qianqian pointed to the furnishings in the main room, "The eldest aunt shouldn't make such a low-level mistake, how much money did you take from the second room, so that you can provoke the relationship between me and the big house?"
She was here to fight with the maid who led the way, and Chunjiang and Chunshou began to clean up the decorations in the house.
Li Qianqian looked at the big red in the room and shook her head, this is in the filial piety period! She didn't believe that the eldest lady had been the master of the house for so many years, and she would not know the rules of the filial piety period, how could she put such a bright red in her room, and people who didn't know would probably think it was the bride's wedding room when they came in!
The eldest lady will not knowingly commit a crime, before the old lady died, she made an accident, making her husband unhappy, she was not so stupid, she would embarrass her before, in addition to the second wife's teasing, more because of Li Jingjing's future troubles, right? I heard that the events of the year were spread out, Li Jingjing's reputation was seriously frustrated, and even the nieces and nephews of the eldest wife's mother's family were also affected.
Looking back now, she can probably guess that it was the second wife who let the matter out!
The second wife is really terrible, she looks soft and weak on the outside, she listens to the eldest lady's arrangement for everything, as if she has no opinion at all, but in fact, she has a deep hatred for the old lady and the eldest lady, especially for the old lady.
At the beginning, the old lady was able to force her mother to abdicate and make way for the sake of the little Jiang family, and then the little Jiang family and the second old man got into trouble, and it was hard to guarantee that the old lady would not attack the second wife for her, so in this way, the second wife poisoned the old lady, in fact, it can be said that she is self-preservation?
The second wife is no longer in the house, so who could it be, who wants to stir up the relationship between the third room and the big house? The second master? He doesn't have that heart, let alone manpower, but it is very likely that the aunt in the second room is there! I don't know if it is that aunt.
Li Qianqian didn't have the heart to care about this matter, but people insisted on committing it to her, so what else was polite to others?
Chunjiang and the others put away the big red chair drapes, chair cushions, pillows, bed curtains, door curtains, bedding and other things, and did not need the maids and servants standing in the yard, Chunshou walked to the porch, raised his hand, and a firework flew high, making a sharp birdsong.
After a while, I saw several women in strong suits descending from the sky, and the people standing in the courtyard were startled by them, huddled together in panic, and screamed, Chunjiang reprimanded, "The master is in the house, who dares to scream and disturb the master?
When everyone heard this, the screams were cut off abruptly, and they all looked at Chunjiang and the others in horror.
Chunjiang ignored them and pointed to the things that had just been cleaned up under the corridor, "Take it to the eldest lady to see, I don't know who is so black-hearted and wants to harm the master." ”
Li Qianqian is not an official, what color of household goods is used in the filial piety period, in fact, it has little impact on her, but her father and brothers have only been knighted for a short time, what if someone deliberately uses her to attack them?
This is something she can't tolerate, so don't blame her for fighting back against the person who committed it to her.
"The eldest lady is busy with the old lady's affairs, I'm afraid I'm tired, I don't blame her for this today, the Li family has a big business, and it is inevitable that there will be some people with bad intentions, waving her banner and doing harmful things, and it is for her sake!" Li Qianqian looked at the maid who led the way and knelt down in front of him, constantly kowtowing, and there were words in his mouth.
"Before you do this, you should know in your heart, this matter can be settled either by compensation or not. ”
How could the maid who led the way want to get this, crying and begging Li Qianqian for forgiveness, but she couldn't help resentment in her heart, it was just a few household things, what did she care about! The relationship between Sanfang and the old lady was not very good, and when the old lady died, they might not be sad.
Let her take the opportunity to earn some pocket money, can't she? Why are you so careful?
