Chapter 537: Double Reed
said that Li Lianshan and the village chief of Lijiazhuang were both people who valued money and couldn't wait to break it into two pieces, but they still spent money on an ox cart and arrived in Fenghuang County early that day.
After going, the two of them looked for the most lively restaurant to inquire, and heard that Yingwuhou was indeed back, and he came with the Yan family to worship his ancestors, so he was secretly overjoyed, and Li Lianshan also picked up the shelf: "Luan girl is too much, I don't say a word if I want to come back, I am married in the end, I only know that I am going to my husband's family and follow the Yan family to worship my ancestors, why don't I say that I came to her father and mother to go to a grave." ”
When the patriarch of the Li clan heard this, there was something wrong with him, and he dragged Li Lianshan: "What did you say, originally the daughter's family married someone is the water that was spilled, and people should be towards the husband's family, who is still willing to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
After speaking, the patriarch of the Li clan said: "Let's go to the Yan family to take a look, after all, one of us is her uncle and the other is the patriarch, even if it is the autumn wind, she will not see us." ”
Li Lianshan felt that this was very true, so he went to the Yan family with the patriarch of the Li clan, but when he asked, he realized that Li Luan'er was not there, and he didn't know what he was doing when he went out, and he didn't know when he would come back.
After all, they all came, and if they didn't see anyone in the dust, they would not be willing to go back like this, and the two of them didn't dare to take it big at the door of Yan's house, so they found an inconspicuous place to wait.
As a result, this wait is past the lunch point and waits until the evening.
In the meantime, neither of them bought food, and the two of them were more slamming the door than the other, and they were afraid that they would give each other food for nothing, and they were all hungry, and they didn't even ask for a mouthful of water. Just stay in the shade not far from the Yan family's gatehouse.
Until Li Luan'er returned, these two people were hungry and thirsty, all supported by stubbornness and dreams of glory and wealth.
Therefore, the two of them were almost about to cry when they saw Li Luan'er.
Li Luan'er looked at the two of them for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Village Chief Li, uncle, who are you?" ”
Seeing that Li Luan'er recognized them, Li Lianshan cried: "Luan girl, don't say anything, hurry up and give your uncle a whole stutter." ”
Li Luan'er called the steward. asked them to prepare a table of meals for the guests, and took Li Lianshan and Patriarch Li to eat first. After that, he went back to the house alone.
When she went back, Yan Chengyue was teaching the three brothers Chenyuan, and when she saw her come in, she waved her hand and told the three boys to go out.
"How? Can you see Master Kurong? Yan Chengyue smiled at Li Luan'er.
Li Luan'er smiled and nodded: "I've seen it, a big fat monk." It's kind of interesting. ”
Li Luan'er stretched and sat down again. Tell the girl to hurry up and set her a meal: "But I'm hungry." ”
Yan Chengyue smiled: "It just so happened that I took our three boys up the mountain today." There are some prey, and there are a few hares and pheasants, and I will ask the kitchen man to clean them up and keep them for you. ”
"That's good." Li Luan'er took a sip of water: "I was thinking about this mouthful." ”
While talking. The girl brought dinner, sure enough, there was pheasant soup and roasted hare meat, Li Luan'er sniffed it, and exclaimed: "It's better than my burning, I hunted a hare in the mountains and roasted it in the temple to eat, because the seasoning is not complete, the charcoal fire is not how to eat, this roast tastes good." ”
She picked up a hare leg and nibbled on it twice, drank a few mouthfuls of pheasant soup, and smiled at Yan Chengyue: "When Li Lianshan and the patriarch of the Li clan came over today, you didn't say that you didn't know, and deliberately left them outside, right?" ”
Yan Chengyue didn't shirk either, and nodded with a smile: "It's not that you still want me to entertain them, it's a relative of your Li family, not someone from my Yan family." ”
Li Luan'er snorted and laughed: "Great, you can say this when they come in a while, so you can help me shirk one or two." ”
"Natural." Yan Chengyue glanced at Li Luan'er: "You married into my Yan family, you were born to be a member of my Yan family, and death is also a ghost of my Yan family. ”
Li Luan'er couldn't stop laughing and gave Yan Chengyue a thumbs up: "What Xianggong said is extreme, I don't dare to use the Yan family's things to help the Li family with the water spilled by the daughter who married out." ”
After Li Luan'er finished dinner, a little girl said back and forth that the two of them had finished eating and were waiting to see the grandmother.
"Bring them in." Li Luan'er took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, threw the handkerchief to the little girl behind her, and immediately a maid withdrew the food on the table, and after a while, the girl came in and said that the two had arrived in the front hall.
Because Li Lianshan and Patriarch Li are men, Yan Chengyue has no choice but to accompany Li Luan'er to meet him.
The husband and wife went to the front hall and sat down, Yan Chengyue was in the east, Li Luan'er naturally wanted to sit in the west, the two occupied the main position, Li Lianshan and Patriarch Li stood in the middle of the big hall and didn't dare to sit, with a smile on their faces: "Luan girl ......"
"Presumptuous." Yan Chengyue's originally drooping eyelids were raised, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "How can the nickname of the Marquis of Yingwu be called by the ordinary people." ”
"Ying, Yingwuhou." Patriarch Li dragged Li Lianshan and smiled and went over to salute: "Today can be regarded as seeing the Hou Ye, they all say that the Hou Ye is majestic, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
"Marquis of Yingwu." Li Lianshan also had no choice but to go over to salute: "Why are we all a family, and I am also your uncle, you ...... That's hospitality. ”
Li Luan'er smiled, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "What you said is not right, I am now the grandmother of the Yan family, and my family is the old general Yan, and the children and grandchildren of the Yan family, your surname is Li, how can you be a family with me?" ”
"Hou Ye's surname is Li."
Seeing that Li Lianshan was about to get angry because of Li Luan'er's two words, the frightened Li patriarch hurriedly stopped him: "How can you say that Hou Ye is also surnamed Li, and the Li family has also raised you for more than ten years, Hou Ye should not turn his face and deny people." ”
Li Luan'er just smiled and didn't speak, and Yan Chengyue lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Patriarch Li had to sing some one-man shows: "It's a good thing for Hou Ye to return to his hometown, but Hou Ye doesn't know that our Li clan has been getting more and more sad in recent years." It's that no child in the whole village can afford to read, we heard that the rich brother was taken to the capital by the Hou Ye to take the money to study, and later he was admitted to the Jinshi to be a high-ranking official, everyone is the same Li family, and the Hou Ye can't favor one over the other. ”
Dare to love these two people are here to ask for silver, Li Luan'er smiled mockingly, but there was a strange look in his eyes: "What the patriarch said is not right, the rich brother was not taken into Beijing by me, it was my brother who took him into Beijing because he had a good relationship with the rich brother, and the money was also paid by my brother." It has nothing to do with me. Speaking of which, my brother is surnamed Li, and he should also have to contribute to the Li family, but he is now far away in Shanhaiguan guarding the checkpoint north of Dayong. It's really distracting. I don't want to bother him with such trivial matters. ”
"Master Hou." Li Lianshan was anxious. Seeing that his little grandson has also reached the age of going to school, not to mention, his grandson is smart and tight. It's just that the family doesn't have so much money to support, so he wants Li Luan'er to give money so that everyone in the Li clan can go to school, at least he has to let these close branches have money to go to school: "Your brother is not here, don't you still have you, a little leakage in your hand is enough for our clan men to go to school." ”
Li Lianshan thought of Li Lianshu's family, they were originally brothers of the same clan, Li Lianshu's family was poorer than their family, but it was precisely because of Li Luan'er's help that Li Lianshu's family prospered, and now Li Fuke is a big official, he also heard that Li Fu is now a fourth-grade official, and the lady he married is rich in the family, Li Mei's poor girl also married an official, and now she is a first-class lady who doesn't know much scenery, they are all brothers in the family, why are Li Fu and Li Mei better than Li Qiu and Li Xiuer of his family?
Li Luan'er hooked her lips and smiled, and turned her head to look at Yan Chengyue: "Xianggong, what my uncle said is right, my brother is not at home, I have to do my part for my brother, I ...... Tell the patriarch and uncle to bring some silver back, after all, they are all surnamed Li. ”
Hearing her say this, Patriarch Li and Li Lianshan both looked at Yan Chengyue with blank eyes, imagining that Yan Chengyue would promise to give them a lot of silver in the next moment, not to mention that the money passed through their hands, and they had to leave something private.
But they thought about it in vain.
Yan Chengyue slapped the table violently, his face full of fierceness and impatience: "What surname is Li?" Li Luan'er, you figure it out, this is the Yan family, not your Li family, it's not up to you to decide, you think about helping your mother's family all day long, and take our Yan family's silver to make face, I have long had an opinion on you, what's the matter, now these poor relatives who can't hit the eight poles and don't know where to come out have come to the door again, Cheng, you want the silver to become a person, take the silver and get out of the gate of my Yan family immediately. ”
"Xianggong?" Li Luan'er looked at Yan Chengyue in disbelief with a pair of big eyes: "You, how can you say that, I...... I ......"
Speaking of this, Li Luan'er seemed to be choked up and couldn't speak, and ran out as soon as she covered her face.
Li Lianshan and Patriarch Li were completely dumbfounded, looking at Yan Chengyue and not knowing what to say.
After a long time, Li Lianshan pointed at Yan Chengyue and said: "You, why are you so ignorant, the eldest girl of my Yan family married into your Yan family, how can you treat you so harshly, it's just a few dollars, I ......"
"Where did it come from, get out of here." Yan Chengyue waved her sleeves impatiently: "Since marrying the girl of your Li family, when no one is idle all day, either this one comes to the door or that one fights the autumn wind, if it is not for her to be useful, at least I gave birth to four boys for my Yan family, I can't say that I can't leave her early, where can I still ask you to come to the door to talk crookedly." ”
"You, you ......" The angry Patriarch Li's face turned purple and swollen, and he was about to scold Yan Chengyue when he saw it.
Yan Chengyue said coldly: "Get out." ”
Immediately, Yan Yiyan didn't know where he came from, and dragged Patriarch Li and Li Lianshan to throw them out of the house.
Yan Chengyue got up and went to the back house, Yan Yi and Yan glanced at each other, some wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
Patriarch Li and Li Lianshan were thrown out of the Yan family and still couldn't turn a corner, thinking that Li Luan'er didn't know how beautiful his life was, how did he know that he was looked down upon like this, seeing that the sky was dark, the city gate was closed, and the Yan family couldn't enter, so they were afraid that they would have to find an inn to stay for one night.
I thought I could get some silver, but who knew that not only did the silver not fall, but they would have to spend a lot of money in vain, and both of them were a little depressed.
They were just about to leave, when they saw a little girl poking her head out of the station, and when she saw the two of them, she hurriedly said, "Alas, what about you, and wait a minute." ”
Li Lianshan hurriedly grabbed Patriarch Li, and when the two turned around, they saw the little girl come out lightly, glanced at the two, and sighed when they arrived in a dark place: "Don't blame our grandmother, speaking of which, grandma is not as beautiful as others think, there are many rights and wrongs in the mansion, and many things you small families don't understand." ”
"Luan girl, her?" Li Lianshan couldn't help but ask: "Why is her husband so rude." ”
"Alas!" The little girl sighed: "There are a few polite sons in the capital, our sons were born in the General's Mansion, and since he was a child, he has grown up in brocade clothes and jade food, and he is naturally a little ...... Speaking of which, it has always been the grandmother who let our uncle, the uncle said that the grandmother of the east did not dare to go west, that's it, the uncle sometimes loses his temper, and the grandmother's life is also a little difficult, she can't do it, you don't blame it. ”
While speaking, the girl took out some copper plates from her arms and handed them to Li Lianshan: "This son's city gate has been closed, and the eldest grandmother said that you can't go back, I'm afraid that you won't have money to stay in the inn, so I will ask me to send some out, and the eldest grandmother doesn't have much money, and you are not too little." ”
After speaking, the girl entered the door without replying.
Li Lianshan was completely stupid, and it took a long time before he said: "I didn't expect Luan Yatou to have such a hard time." ”
Patriarch Li also sighed: "She is also a hard life, originally from a low background, she married a high-ranking family, and she had a hard time in the Cui family, this time I thought that it should be better to marry into the Yan family, alas, it is still the same, strange people often say that Qi Da is not a coincidence, it seems that it is indeed such a reason." ”
Li Lianshan hadn't read any books, and he didn't know what Qi Dafei meant, so he could only respond again and again.
The two took the copper plate and found a nearby inn for one night, and went home the next day.
It is said that Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue sang a double reed to coax Li Lianshan and Patriarch Li away, and when the two returned to the house, Li Luan'er glared at Yan Chengyue: "If I hadn't given birth to four babies for you, you would have divorced me?" Well? ”
Yan Chengyue was in a cold sweat when she heard this, and hurriedly said to forgive: "Good lady, isn't your husband afraid that you will be in trouble, so I have to say such a sentence ruthlessly, and it is also my husband's fault to say it, you are not angry, if you are not angry, you can beat me twice." ”
The girl who was waiting for Li Luan'er to groom couldn't help but snicker, Li Luan'er glanced at Yan Chengyue: "Stop, see how many years you can't find such an opportunity to cross in front of me, this time I will spare you, next time ......"
"There is no next time to keep it." Yan Chengyue couldn't help but curse and sweared: "If there is any more, call me ......"
"But just kidding, you take it seriously." Li Luan'er stopped him: "Well, I also know that you are for my good, and you don't want me to fall into the reputation of ignoring the life and death of the clansmen, so you will tarnish your own name." (To be continued......)
