Li Lianshan and Patriarch Li found an inn to stay, and did not go home dejected until the city gate opened early in the morning of the second day.

Wu got up early in the morning and looked at the entrance of the village, and saw Li Lianshan walking with the patriarch with a cloth bag on his back from a distance, greeted him with a smile and took a few steps, and waited for Li Lianshan to get closer before asking: "How is it, but I saw the girl Luan." ”

"See." Patriarch Li replied: "I still have something at home, so I'll go back first." ”

After speaking, Patriarch Li walked briskly and disappeared, and Li Lianshan sighed: "Go home and talk about it." ”

The two returned home one after the other, Li Qiu's daughter-in-law hurriedly set the meal, and stood aside with Li Qiu to wait to hear what Li Lianshan had to say, whether they could get some benefits.

But I heard Li Lianshan sigh for a while: "This Luan girl is a naturally hard-working person, let's not worry about getting money from her anymore, it's better to start from her to find Brother Fu and Brother Chun." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Wu patted Li Lianshan: "What you said, which of us in Fenghuang County doesn't know that the Yan family is very rich, and the girl Luan has led soldiers to fight, maybe she has made a lot of silver, and she has the identity of a marquis, with the money given by the court, people are thicker than our legs, why can't we beat her." ”

"Yes, that's what my mother said." Li Qiu also nodded again and again: "That's the Hou Ye, I don't know how much bigger the official is than the county master, and she still has no money." ”

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get any money."

Li Lianshan took a sip of wine: "In the end, if you are married, it is naturally different from being in your mother's family, do you know what our husband said in the past?" ”

When he saw his wife and children, they all shook their heads. Li Lianshan squinted his eyes: "People look down on our poor relatives, what do you say that Luan Yatou is a member of his Yan family, and he can't always think about his mother's family, and he also said that if Luan Yatou takes over her mother's family again, the Yan family will divorce her, Luan Yatou has already been divorced once, if she is divorced again, the reputation of our Li clan will be gone." ”

"So powerful?" Wu was taken aback: "I heard that the Yan family is very good to Luan girl." ”

"You women have long hair and short knowledge, that's the Yan family, how many years have you been in the family. Luan girl is no longer capable. Our Li family is also digging in the soil for food, and if she can marry the Yan family as a wife, God has eyes, how can people treat her? Li Lianshan slapped the chopsticks on the table: "Let's wait until I see the rich brother in the future and then find a way, fortunately, our family is still small." It's not too late to read in a few more years. ”

Wu and Li Qiu were also worried. But I don't know what to do.

If they are asked to make trouble with Li Luan'er, they are not afraid. But if they are asked to make trouble with the Yan family, they will not dare to kill them.

The archway of the Yan family has been erected in Fenghuang County for so many years, and it has already established supreme authority in the hearts of the people of Fenghuang County. In the hearts of the people, the Yan family is unattainable, the Yan family is noble and honorable, and if you can say a word to others, it is blessed by the ancestors, and if you make trouble, people can press you to death with a finger.

Li Lianshan's family was silent for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Just when there was silence in the house, Li Xiu'er put on a new dress and went home, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked loudly: "Dad, mother, do you know that Li Luan'er is back?" ”

"What the hell are you doing?" Wu glared at Li Xiu'er: "Hurry up." ”

Waiting for Li Xiu'er to come over, the Wu family whispered to Li Xiu'er the result of Li Lianshan's search for Li Luan'er, and Li Xiu'er's little face turned red after hearing this: "On what's the basis?" The Yan family is simply too deceitful, Li Luan'er has led soldiers to fight, it is said that she also led people to fight in the Tartar court, how many treasures did she get, these are all our Li family, not his Yan family, besides, Li Luan'er was not old or young when she got married, if she used the dowry to help us, the Yan family could still manage it? ”

When the Wu family heard this, they also scolded the Yan family for not being a thing, and the more the mother and daughter scolded, the more angry they became.

Li Xiu'er said: "Li Mei is not as delicious as me, nor as smart as me, what can I do to be a Mrs. Yipin, and I can only marry the villagers who dig in the soil all day long, this is really unfair, they are all from the Li family, and our family is not far from Li Mei's family, so why don't you care about us." ”

"Ugh." Li Lianshan sighed again: "You guys stop a little, that's the Yan family, what people will tell you about fairness and unfairness, I'm afraid that you haven't made a noise yet, people have already sent us to prison, don't forget what happened to us in the capital at the beginning." ”

With just one sentence, Wu and Li Xiu'er stopped shouting.

The family sat down to eat again, and when the meal was almost gone, Li Qiu's daughter-in-law looked at Li Qiu, gritted her teeth and hesitated before saying: "Dad, mother, our family is so smart, if it is delayed for a few years, it can't be delayed, and this silver has to think of some way." ”

Li Qiu's daughter-in-law is married to someone from Wu's mother's family, known as Xiao Wu, Wu's is close to her, and she is the most clever, plus she gave birth to a son, she can also speak in the Li family, Li Lianshan heard her say this and said with a sad face: "I don't know this reason, but it's really difficult." ”

Xiao Wu smiled: "It's not difficult to say this, dad don't go to find Yingwuhou again, for me and my mother to go to her privately, I have one thing to say to her, as long as she listens, she will thank us, this matter is hidden from the Yan family, she just gives us less, and it is enough to tie up the silver for a few years of study, not to mention that this matter is an unusual event, and the thank you gift must be indispensable." ”

"The Yan family?" Wu was still a little scared.

Xiao Wu comforted her and said: "Yingwu Marquis can lead troops to fight as a woman, and can ask the official family to give her the title of Marquis, she must be a very smart person, how can she make the Yan family really hold it, how can she not have money to be around, but it's not the right time for your father to go, you stabbed in front of the Yan family and asked Yingwu Hou to pay for all the children of the Li clan, and the Yan family can rely on it?" But if our family goes to look for it privately, and only asks her to help our family, it will not be possible. ”

Li Lianshan and Wu thought for a long time and felt that what Xiao Wu said was very true, and the two discussed for a while, and then asked Li Qiu not to do any work these days, just waiting to find out Li Luan'er's whereabouts, while Wu and Xiao Wu were ready to find Li Luan'er and whisper.

This Li Qiuyuan is a prodigal offspring. Only that year was imprisoned in the capital, and later when the family returned to their hometown, they were robbed of silver taels, and after several years of hardship, this made Li Qiu a lot more sensible, and now he is very calm and reliable.

He respected Xiao Wu the most, and listened to her words, Xiao Wu told him to inquire about Li Luan'er's whereabouts, and he inquired carefully.

On this day, Li Qiu easily heard that Li Luan'er had left the Yan family, and it seemed that she was going to Li Jiazhuang to worship her parents, and immediately went home happily and said that she would listen to the Wu family and the little Wu family.

Xiao Wu was happy when he heard it. Freshen up with Wu. He waited on the way up the mountain.

Until mid-morning, Xiao Wu saw a team from a distance, and when the team approached, he saw a woman in front of him who looked beautiful and graceful. There is a bit of heroism between the eyebrows. Although wearing ordinary cloth clothes. The hair is only wrapped in Juanpa, but it is like this, but it also shows a bearing. It is different from the world of ordinary country women.

Xiao Wu thought that this was the Marquis of Yingwu, so he quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "The little woman has seen the Hou Ye, the little woman has something to say to the Hou Ye, can you borrow a step......

Li Luan'er only got off the carriage when she arrived at Lijiazhuang and was ready to walk up the mountain, where did she know that she had only walked for a while and was robbed, she looked at this woman and was not familiar with each other, and looked at it again, and saw Wu's family, and she knew that she was afraid that Wu would not give up and wanted to ask her for silver.

In an instant, Li Luan'er turned a lot of thoughts and thought of many ways to send Wu away, she smiled at the woman: "Are you?" ”

The woman lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Speaking of which, my father-in-law and Master Hou are also somewhat related, my father-in-law is Li Qiu, and Master Hou still calls him brother." ”

Li Luan'er suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the daughter-in-law of Brother Li Qiu, I don't know it, it's not strange to be rude." ”

Seeing that this woman seemed to really have something to say to her, Li Luan'er was not afraid of anything, so she waved her hand and asked the people to wait in one place, she and the woman found a cool place to sit down, and the Wu family also came over at this time.

Li Luan'er talked to the woman, and knew that she was Xiao Wu, so she smiled and saw the ceremony, and listened to Xiao Wu's words: "I didn't have any bad intentions when my mother and I came to stop Hou Ye, and I didn't plan to ask Hou Ye for money, but I just reminded Hou Ye." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Wu looked around and lowered his voice: "Master Hou probably didn't know, your family went to the capital, and originally entrusted the cemetery of the third uncle and third aunt to take care of it, it should be that the family is still loyal and honest, but this person knows the face but does not know the heart, the family was originally very well cared for in the past two years, but later it was ......"

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Li Luan'er listened to the fire in his belly: "What you said is true?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Wu nodded, and Wu also assured, Li Luan'er knew that what Xiao Wu said was true, so she became even more angry.

But it turned out that this little Wu is a shrewd person, after she married into the Li family, she heard that Li Qiu's younger brothers and sisters were actually developed, a sister entered the palace and was a concubine of the official family, and a sister married into the Yan family, that is, the foolish clan brother also became an official because of his military exploits, and this little Wu family thought about how to get closer to Li Chun's family.

She also knew that the cemetery of Li Lianhe and his wife was on the mountain of Lijiazhuang, and that day she had some spare money and offerings and wanted to go to the grave, in the final analysis, she was the new daughter-in-law, Li Lianhe and his wife were still her husband's uncle and aunt, and it was also necessary to burn a paper or something.

Xiao Wu didn't tell anyone, he went with a basket, who knew that he met two men halfway down the road, she was a young daughter-in-law, and when she saw it from afar, she avoided behind a tree on the side, and when the two men approached, Xiao Wu heard the undisguised conversation between the two and knew that these two people were the owners of Li Luan'er entrusted to take care of the cemetery of Li Lianhe and his wife.

Only Li Luan'er had a lot of money with them every year, and they became greedy, and some of the money was originally hired by them, and some of it was for Li Lianshan and his wife to buy offerings or something, and where they were willing to buy offerings, they were all silent.

Now that he got the letter, saying that the Li family was going to send someone to take a look, he took the time to go up the mountain to tidy up the cemetery for Li Lianhe and his wife, hoeed the grass, and built it with some bricks and stones, so that the cemetery looked beautiful and clean, and made some rotten paper and burned it on the grave, which was counted as the ash of paper money.

Xiao Wu heard it clearly, and she also recorded it in her heart, she went to the cemetery to take a look, and sure enough, it was a trace of repair, and she had something in her heart.

Later, Xiao Wu's secretly asked Li Qiu to inquire, and he was worried about it, and he secretly inspected it quietly, and when he saw the Four Seasons and New Year's Festival, there was no offering on the grave of Li Lianshan and his wife, and there was no paper burned, and the family only asked two people to repair the cemetery once a year, Xiao Wu thought that Li Luan'er gave so much silver but called Li Lianshan and his wife to end up with no one to worship, and he was also a little angry in his heart, but the Li family is now in the capital, and she knows that there is no one to say.
