Chapter 48 Family Law

After three bows and nine bows, Situ Ningbing's name was added to the Li family tree, and this recognition was half completed. Back in the outer room, An Guogong and his wife sat down at the top again, and Situ Ningbing and Li Jiayi both bowed. Taking the teacup from Mama Qi's hand, Situ Ningbing first turned to An Guogong and meticulously offered the teacup, "Daughter-in-law toasts my father's tea." A simple action made by her actually added a bit of dignified elegance, although kneeling on the ground, it was neither humble nor arrogant, so that people did not dare to despise it.

An Guogong looked at her in a trance, and muttered: "Like! It's really like!" It wasn't until Li Jiayi coughed lightly and called "Father" that he came back to his senses, and took the tea cup from Situ Ningbing's hand with some embarrassment and took a sip.

When it was Wang's turn, although her face was not very good-looking, but after all, she knew that she was not embarrassed by Situ Ningbing at this time, she took the teacup and took a sip slightly, and then took a rosewood box from the maid next to her and handed it to Situ Ningbing.

"Thank you, Mother. Situ Ningbing took the box with both hands, and without looking at it, he stuffed it to the girl in Tsing Yi behind him.

Wang's face was flushed, but his face was flushed. Seeing that Mama Qi was not busy, she reminded with a smile: "Madame, did you ask the young lady to meet a few young ladies and young ladies?"

Wang glanced at Situ Ningbing, rubbed the corners of his forehead and forced down his anger and said, "I'm a little tired, Mama will introduce her for me." ”

Mama Qi was eager to agree and brought Situ Ningbing to a tall man, and after a salute, she introduced to Situ Ningbing with a smile: "This is the eldest son of our house, and the young lady should be called the eldest brother." ”

Situ Ningbing glanced at the man, although he was far inferior to Li Jiayi in terms of appearance, he was also very upright, but his expression was a little cold and arrogant, and he didn't know that he thought he was the son of the Anguo Mansion. Wang's life doesn't know whether it's good or bad, he already had such an eldest son when he got married, and then gave birth to Li Jiayi, who was born disabled but outstanding, and he pressed the eldest son in front of him.

Situ Ningbing bowed slightly to the man and did not speak, and then looked directly at the young woman with heavy makeup beside him, only to hear Mama Qi already introduce on the side: "This is the eldest grandmother." ”

Situ Ningbing bowed his head slightly and called lightly: "Sister-in-law" even if she said hello. She is tall, her grandmother is petite, and her hair bun is only about her chin, and her height and tone have a condescending taste.

The little temper born by the eldest grandmother is not small, and she changed her face at the moment, squinted at Situ Ningbing, and said in a strange manner: "Brother and sister are so big, the new daughter-in-law of the other family sees the eldest brother and sister-in-law, not to mention kneeling and saluting, at least she should say Wanfu, the younger brother and sister will be lazy and even save Wanfu, really the eyes are born on the top of the head, and we are all treated as transparent!"

No matter how much he hates it, it is his daughter-in-law, Wang's mind is clear after all, he knows who the real enemy is, and just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand the eldest grandmother, Situ Ningbing over there has already sneered and said: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law?

"Brother and sister, can you say this?" Before the eldest grandmother could speak, the eldest prince had already blushed and said coldly: "It's all my own brother, what are you talking about, and I'm not afraid of hurting my feelings!"

"That's it!" the eldest grandmother echoed sharply, "What do you know about the day you just entered the door?!" The second brother is inconvenient for his legs and feet, and his eldest brother has not stopped for a moment to be busy for this family," as he spoke, he kept taking out a handkerchief in his hand, rubbing the corners of his eyes, and his eyes looked at An Guogong from time to time, crying: "It's okay if people don't appreciate it, it's all flesh and blood, and my uncle and I can still deal with my younger brother?

"Dad!" The eldest prince over there also took advantage of the situation to kneel down, and said in a choked voice: "My son knows that his identity is not as good as others, so he never dares to fight for anything, he just hopes that his brothers, friends and brothers will be content with the harmony of our family, who ......knows" He didn't say anything, but his eyes glanced at Li Jiayi intentionally or unintentionally.

An Guogong looked at his eldest son who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, and his heart was moved, and when he raised his eyes again, Situ Ningbing's gaze became a little less kind.

Situ Ningbing quietly watched the couple singing, and after they finished singing, she slowly walked up to An Guogong and bowed uprightly, and then took out a letter sealed with fire paint from her sleeve pocket and handed it to An Guogong. "This is the letter that my father asked me to give to my father when I left home, and I originally wanted to present it to my father again in a few days," his eyes swept lightly over the eldest prince and his wife as he spoke, and finally lowered his eyes as if he was a little helpless, "Now it seems that I can't wait." ”

An Guogong took the letter for some reason, instinctively tore open the seal and took out a stack of thick letter paper and looked at it at a glance, the more he looked at his face, the more ugly his face became, and in the end, his hands trembled slightly involuntarily, obviously angry.

"You did a good thing!" Seeing that An Guogong was already angry at the end, he threw a stack of letter paper in the eldest son's face, pointed at him and scolded loudly: "I really want you to be a great grievance for this family without asking for anything in return! Hmph! Feelings are all done for me to see! In the past few years, you have taken tens of thousands of taels of silver from the house in the name of running errands, and I don't even know it, you are not small!" Speaking of excitement, he reached out and grabbed the tea cup that Situ Ningbing had just served, and threw it towards the eldest prince. Listening to the sound of the porcelain pieces breaking, An Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded: "You just take the money from your own family, and you even dare to put money outside and cause people's lives! Relying on the power of the Anguo Mansion to do nonsense outside, and also make some fox friends and dog friends to do some unseemly deeds! My Li family's face has been lost by you!"

Although the Li family is not as heavy as Situ's heavy martial arts, but it was also a meritorious title on horseback back back then, and if you really want to investigate it, An Guogong is also considered a military general, although he has not been on the battlefield, but his kung fu is still good, and this is a foot in the anger and used full strength, and the tall body of the eldest prince was kicked back by him and slid back three or four feet.

"Uncle!" the eldest grandmother screamed and threw herself on her husband, looking up at her already crying flowers, looking at a somewhat penetrating face, and cried at An Guogong: "Dad! No matter how you say it, the uncle is also your biological son, you can't listen to outsiders' instigation and abuse him like this!" The eldest grandmother vaguely knew some of the things that her husband did, and even a few of them were handled by her, and she also guessed from An Guogong's words, these shady things were afraid that the Situ family would dig them out, and for the sake of today's plan, she could only flatly deny that it was the Situ family who framed her to death, so she turned her face to look at Situ Ningbing and said in a lamented voice: "Brother and sister, sister-in-law has always been outspoken, not with the intention of targeting you, if there is a place to offend, don't worry about me." Saying that, he glanced at An Guogong pitifully, and said sadly: "If you think that I and my uncle are in the way of your eyes, let's just move out, you can rest assured that we will never take a penny of money from the house, as long as we save our lives, we will be content!" She said pitifully, and the tears fell in place, and those who didn't know really thought that Situ Ningbing bullied his brother and sister-in-law when he entered the door with the momentum of his mother's family.

An Guogong thought that the eldest daughter-in-law said that the second daughter-in-law would definitely have a war of words with her, after all, the things written in Situ Xin's letter were all justified and well-founded, and there were witnesses, the most important thing is that these witnesses are not ordinary people, most of them are from famous families in Longxi, no matter how powerful the Situ family is, it is impossible to be in Longxi, and his An Guogong's land coerced so many big families to wronged his eldest son together? !

I didn't know that the second daughter-in-law didn't argue a word, just looked at herself calmly, and said indifferently: "My father still has a word for me to tell my father, and I will say it together today." As he spoke, he squatted down and saluted, and then said word by word: "My father said that this is a family matter of the Li Mansion, which should not be said much, but it is not easy to inherit the title of Duke of Anguo, and the blood of the loyal general should not be shed in vain." ”

When the words "General Zhongwu" were mentioned, An Guogong's body trembled suddenly, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. "Someone!" An Guogong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were already full of determination, and he commanded the steward who heard the voice: "Please family law!"

The steward was stunned when he heard this, hesitating whether to move, An Guogong glared at him and raised his voice, "Don't go yet!"

"Yes!" the steward did not dare to hesitate any longer, and answered. After a while, he came back with a long black whip, and everyone looked at the long whip, and they all gasped involuntarily, and the grandmother even widened her eyes and opened her mouth to forget to cry.

This whip also has a history, when the ancestors of the Li family used to clean up the military discipline, it is said that there are as many as 174 soldiers buried under this whip, since it was regarded as the Li family law has been enshrined in the ancestral hall, as a symbol of the object of storage has not been used for hundreds of years, I don't want to be invited out today.

An Guogong took the long whip from the butler's hand, stared at the eldest son who was kicked to the ground by him, but instructed the steward: "Tie up this evil obstacle for me, and today I will carry out the Li family's family law!"

This time, the steward didn't dare to delay any longer, gritted his teeth and responded: "Yes", he was going to lead someone to drag the eldest prince out. The eldest grandmother was completely dumbfounded at this moment, and she saw that her father-in-law's posture was about to kill her husband! At that moment, she stood in front of the eldest prince and cried: "Dad, you can't do this! Uncle is also your son, you can't kill your younger brother and sister because of a few words!"

An Guogong was still a little unbearable in his heart, but when she shouted this, he couldn't bear to be dissipated by anger, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Shut up! People say to marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, if it weren't for you to instigate the boss on the side, you wouldn't dare to be so bold and reckless, I haven't settled accounts with you, but you have climbed up the second daughter-in-law first? What did she do with you husband and wife to frame you for no reason? Afraid that you will divide the family property?" An Guogong sneered a few times, expressing undisguised contempt for the words that the eldest grandmother pretended to be pitiful before.
