Chapter 570: Eating Deflated
The girl's voice was very faint, like a thin snow on the tip of a high mountain, cold and clear, which was impossible to ignore.
Li Guangshu heard the sound and looked over.
The girl wore a plain skirt, combed a simple double bun, and only a cinnabar mole in the center of her eyebrows lined her face, which instantly became bright and moving.
Li Guangshu stared at the girl for a while before he reacted: this is his eldest brother's second daughter, his niece.
After recognizing the girl, Li Guangshu secretly wondered in his heart: It's strange, this niece used to be just an ordinary little girl in his impression, although she was born well, but there are many children from rich and noble families, how can there be anything outstanding. But he was used to seeing people like Bing Niang, and now when he saw it, it was a little strange.
Li Guangshu glanced at the girl again with a scrutinizing gaze.
Compared with a few years ago, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes don't seem to have changed much, but they have grown a little longer, but they have become attractive for no reason.
"Is Bing Niang the daughter of an official eunuch?" Qiao Zhao asked again.
This second uncle's eyes are gloomy, and at first glance he is a person who is quite deep in the city.
Qiao Zhao was a little puzzled.
In the style of the old lady, it is normal for her father to be like that, how did this second uncle grow crooked?
"You're a third girl, right?" asked Li Guangshu.
"I'mβ"
Li Guangshu frowned and interrupted Qiao Zhao's words: "How did the eldest brother and sister-in-law raise the third girl, I haven't seen each other for several years, and I don't know how to call the second uncle." β
As soon as Li Guangwen heard Li Guangshu criticize his daughter, he immediately became unhappy, and snorted coldly: "What's the matter with you? You haven't seen me for several years, and you actually fought with me at the door of your house!"
Li Guangshu's face turned black: "Big brother's hand that moved first-"
Li Guangwen sneered: "Eldest brother is like a father, what's wrong with me beating you? You still dare to fight back? Who taught you the rules?"
Li Guangshu was so angry by Li Guangwen's three questions that he couldn't refute it.
Although the prefect is not a high-ranking official, but the prefect Tiangao Emperor is far away, and he is very much the number one person in the local area.
Seeing that Li Guangshu didn't talk back, Li Guangwen snorted coldly, and turned to show a smile to his daughter: "Zhaozhao, if you have anything to say, just ask." β
Li Guangshu was so angry that his eyes turned black.
There is such a big brother, who smiles like a fool at his daughter, and puts on Lao Tzu's score for his younger brother who is not a few years younger!
Qiao Zhao bowed slightly to Li Guangshu, who had a straight face, and said with a smile: "Just now the second uncle asked me if I was the third girl, and I was about to say, 'I am, second uncle', but I didn't expect to be interrupted by you." β
"So, is it the second uncle's fault?" Li Guangshu asked coldly.
"It's not your fault, whose fault is it?" Old Madam Deng snorted coldly, and Li Guangshu's scalp was numb.
He was in awe of this old mother from the bottom of his heart, after all, he and his brother were brought up by their widowed mother.
"You gave me a kneeling to speak, who made you stand up again?"
Li Guangshu held his breath and knelt down again.
"What the third girl asked is also what I want to ask, will the daughter of a good county princess be a concubine for you?"
Li Guangshu lowered his eyes and calmed down: "My mother doesn't know, the environment in Lingnan is harsh, there is a lack of products, and most people live in poverty. Although Bing Niang is the daughter of the county Cheng, she is only a concubine, her father has more than a dozen concubines alone, and it is not strange to give concubines to Shangguan, and Bing Niang herself is also willing. β
"Is Bingniang really the daughter of the county Cheng?" After Li Guangshu finished explaining, Qiao Zhao asked again.
The moment he heard this question, Li Guangshu's eyes tightened, and his gaze staring at Qiao Zhao suddenly became sharp: "The third girl's words, the second uncle can't understand." β
Qiao Zhao smiled secretly.
She looked at Bing Niang coldly before, and felt that her gestures revealed an indescribable taste, that temperament and posture could not be cultivated by a small county Cheng family, let alone a county Cheng with more than a dozen concubines.
In this case, either there is a problem with Bingniang's origin, and the second uncle is blinded by beauty and doesn't know, or ......
Qiao Zhao sneered in his heart: Either the second uncle knows, but he hides it in order to let his grandmother accept Bingniang!
Sure enough, she asked Bingniang twice in a row if she was the daughter of an official eunuch, and the second uncle's reaction was anger at being offended by the juniors, but she only added the word "true" to the original question, and the second uncle's mood changed.
This is enough to verify her guess: in the identity of Bing Niang, the second uncle is lying!
"What is the second uncle doing so nervously? I'm just curious, seeing that Bing Niang is different from the girls of ordinary official eunuchs. Qiao Zhao said with a smile.
The girl's voice was delicate and her expression was innocent, as if it was just the unintentional words of the little girl's family.
Li Guangshu looked at Qiao Zhao and was a little puzzled.
"What's the difference?" Li Guangshu didn't say anything, but Mrs. Deng opened her mouth.
"I can't say what's different, but I just feel different. The granddaughter looked at Bing Niang and felt that her soul was going to be taken away by her. Qiao Zhao blinked.
Bing Niang's identity, she can ask Shao Mingyuan to check, but before finding out, it will not prevent her from planting a thorn in her grandmother's heart.
The little girl was talking nonsense. Old Madam Deng glared at Qiao Zhao, but her heart sank.
The third girl is right, that ice girl is indeed so eccentric, and it is not as simple as being born well.
"Mother Rong, you take a few servants to clean up the west cross courtyard of Jinrong Garden, and pick two sturdy and capable mothers-in-law to serve Bingniang in the future. β
As soon as Li Guangshu heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and said with a calm face: "Mother, my son has brought back a few servants and maids from his office, and there are enough people." β
"Brought back from the office?" Old Madam Deng furrowed her eyebrows and said lightly, "Mother Rong, then you don't have to be busy with the affairs of the West Cross Courtyard first, go and contact Ya Po to come over and sell the subordinates that the second master brought back from his office." β
"Mother, how can this work?"
Old Madam Deng looked at her second son with heavy eyes.
The immature words of the little son who used to be like a dumpling are still in my ears: Mother, when I grow up, I will become a big official, and I will earn your life, and you will be happy.
Now, when she looked at the little son in front of her, she was so unfamiliar.
"Why not? You don't know that your family is poor, and you can't afford to support so many people! If you don't sell what you brought back from office, do you want to sell and serve me?" asked Mrs. Deng rhetorically.
"My son is richβ"
"How much?"
Li Guangshu hurriedly said: "Twenty thousand taels of silver." β
The real amount cannot be said, but such a large sum of silver has enough reason to dispel the old mother's idea of selling people.
Thinking like this, Li Guangshu swept the corner of his eyes in the room, and sure enough, he saw Li Guangwen's surprised expression.
He couldn't help but smile inwardly.
He's a stupid big brother, I'm afraid he's never heard of so much silver, right?
Speaking of which, the entire Xifu doesn't have to rely on him to support it, the eldest brother has no self-knowledge, doesn't the mother understand this?
Li Guangshu was thinking about it, when he heard Mrs. Deng say lightly: "You haven't separated yet, how can you save private money?" Mother Rong, Ya Po didn't panic first, and asked the account office to come over and count the 20,000 silver that the second master brought back first. β
