There are 25 family rules, and Li Yunqing read them aloud.

"A man cannot take a concubine for life, and only when he is forty years old can he have a child who has a house, and the offender will be expelled from the house."

"A woman cannot be a concubine with another person for life, and she cannot serve a husband with others, and the violator will be removed from the family tree."

"The man entered the Qinglou without the permission of his elders to eat flowers and wine and did not return at night, the first offense was 30 military sticks, the second offense broke his left leg, and the second offense was expelled from the house."

Chang'an has family rules, and even the rich and noble families in Tanzhou and Liuyang County have family rules. Whether a family or a family can prosper, family rules are particularly important.

Although the Li family has a small population, there are three marquis and three county lords, and there are many family properties and slaves, so there must be family rules.

Li Bingli's family rules are stricter than those of ordinary families, and he also deliberately stipulates that men cannot take concubines, indulge in women, and women cannot be concubines.

Before the Qu family got married, he was familiar with the family rules of the Qu family, and he still remembers it. Compared with the two, the Li family's family rules are much stricter. She knew that Li Bing must have a reason for doing this.

He Shi listened to it and applauded again and again. With family rules, everyone in the Li family will be self-disciplined, setting an example for their subordinates. She will definitely take good care of the entire Li Mansion and keep the wealth that her father-in-law exchanged for his life.

Li Bing kept observing everyone's expressions, and when Li Yunqing finished reading, he asked, "Do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "No." ”

Li Bing took Qu's hand and walked out, and said softly: "Zhu Niang, you have been worried about our family for more than 20 years, and since tomorrow, the affairs of the family will be handed over to Qinglang's Niang Yiniang." ”

Qu Shi smiled and responded, "Brother Bing, I listen to you." ”

Li Bing said loudly: "Next year, Yi Niang gives birth to Xiaolang, you will help her bring it." ”

"That's it. I love bringing grandchildren the most. Qu smiled and walked out of the side hall with Li Bing.

Li Quzhi joked to Li Laoshi and He: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm waiting to hold my little nephew and little niece next year." ”

Li Laoshi just smiled, and when he saw that He Shi opened the account book and looked at it intently, he asked Li Qubing and Li Yunqing to rest, and invited Li Li to sit down.

Li Li refused to sit still, and said: "Big lady, this is just the general ledger, there are one hundred and thirty-five books in this sub-book, how about I send it to Yuexuan Courtyard for you?" ”

"Okay." He Shi looked up at Li Li and said, "I'm sorry Li Li, I'll let my subordinates know, except for those who patrol the door, the rest of them will go to the front of the hall of Yuexuan Courtyard in two quarters of an hour." When I saw that they recognized their faces, I had to ask if there was anything urgent to do in the house. ”

Li Li's one-eyed left eye flashed with surprise.

He had already learned from the Tanzhou message that He Huishu was an excellent housewife, and today it seems that the He family who is a sister is not bad.

He couldn't help but praise the old man again for his foresight, he could predict today's wealth more than ten years ago, and he took a huge risk to rescue the He family and become the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

He sat in a soft sedan chair. Li Laoshi walked fast, waved his hand and did not get on the soft sedan chair, and followed back to Yuexuan Courtyard on foot.

The husband and wife sat in the brightly lit hall eating tea and talking, their eyes sometimes looked at the antiques and mahogany furniture in the hall, thinking about the Li family in Qujia Village a day ago, and they were full of emotion.

In the early days, there were many people's footsteps outside the hall, but no voices could be heard, and no one was curious and reckless intruding.

He secretly praised his subordinates for having rules.

Li Li came in and reported to the He family for permission, and then led ten people in and introduced their names and identities one by one.

He has an excellent memory, and when he was less than ten years old, he was able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics upside down, remembering people's names as if they were playing.

The one hundred and fourteen subordinates who came today, Li Li just said it once, and the He family wrote them all down.

There were people standing inside and outside the hall, except for the four cooks from the Northland, the rest were disabled.

The most severely disabled was an old gardener surnamed Wang, seventy-two years old, deaf, one-eyed, one-armed, for fear of being disliked by He and Li, standing with his head down in the dark outside the hall that the lights could not shine.

After dealing with a few urgent matters in the house, He specially called Wang Huajiang to him and asked a few words, so as to avoid him from going to Yuexuan Courtyard every morning to order, if there is an emergency, let him tell Li Li directly.

After the subordinates retired, He asked Li Li some more things, and then went back to the bedroom with Li Laoshi to wash and rest.

Li Laoshi witnessed it with his own eyes just now, and He Shi saw that although the subordinate was sitting, he had a straight neck and waist, and there was nothing to do today, and he talked for half an hour. I felt sorry in my heart, and said softly: "Sister Yi, your housekeeper is really hard." ”

"Almost all the people in the house are crippled, but they are very well-behaved, far easier to manage than I imagined." He Shi'er met Li Laoshi's tender gaze and said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me ask for my father today." ”

She was referring to Li Laoshi's kneeling and begging Li Bing for the sake of the He family's bloodline.

Li honestly smiled and said softly: "This is your greatest wish, and I want to fulfill you." ”

He buried his head in Li Laoshi's solid chest, listened to his strong and steady heartbeat, and said softly: "Now that I have just taken charge of the house, you still don't know what errand to do, and when everything is stable, I will ask for a small man." ”

"Okay." Li honestly listened to He's words.

Li Yu and Li Yue, the two middle-aged slaves who were newly assigned to the He family outside, saw that the lights in the bedroom were out, so they went to sleep in the next room.

The moonlit night is silent and the stars are shining.

The door of the Yueqing Courtyard was closed, the candlelit lanterns in the corridor swayed in the cold winter wind, and the lights were turned off in the bedrooms where the master and servant were resting.

When he was approaching, Li Jingjing, who was lying alone on the mahogany carved bed, opened her eyes, and she couldn't hear any movement in the dark, so she entered the Aphrodisiac Mansion.

Li Jingjing hugged the red-eyed white rabbit Yuyu who stood up and asked, "Yuyu, my grandfather gave me a hundred acres of land." Tell me, what herbs should I plant in the ground? ”

Yuyu affectionately rubbed Li Jingjing's small shoulders with her furry head, her beard moved slightly, and said, "Master, you still grow some living herbs." ”

Li Jingjing smiled: "The two of us have the same idea. ”

Yuyu said excitedly: "Master, I will tell you a good news, the rejuvenation bottle of the Aphrodisiac Mansion has moved again." ”

"I don't know what surprise this rejuvenation bottle brought me. Yuyu, let's take a look. Li Jingjing rode jade and flew to the top of the mountain, and saw the rejuvenation bottle shining with dazzling golden light, and three rows of three-foot-long golden words flashed at the five zhang of the bottle body, the first row was written "Yaotian Mountain", the second row was written "Medicine Beast Mountain", and the third row was written "Medicine Beast Herb Pool".

Yu Yu said happily: "Master, the rejuvenation bottle has finally reappeared in the medicinal beast herb pool. ”

Today, there are five medicine field mountains, two medicine beast mountains, and one medicine beast pond in the rejuvenation medicine mansion, which is twice the size of last year. It's just that the number of medicine rabbits has not exceeded four hundred.

The medicinal and veterinary herb pond can feed the medicinal and veterinary herbs in the water, including pearl-producing mussels, yellow eels and turtles that make great supplements, and lotus lotus seeds that produce lotus roots.

There is a limit to the number of medicinal beast herbs that can be raised in a medicinal beast herb pond.

The more medicinal beast herb pools there are, the more medicinal beast herbs can be raised, and the more medicines Li Jingjing and Yuyu can make.

Li Jingjing said without hesitation: "I want a medicine beast herb pool!" ”

Her snow-white little tender hand just pressed on the word "medicine beast herb pool", the sky was suddenly dark, the whole medicine house shook, and there was a loud bang, and there was a large area of up to 1,000 acres of clear water and quiet huge pond next to the medicine beast mountain.

Yuyu carried Li Jingjing and flew to this medicinal beast herb pool in an instant, and said happily: "Master, it is twice as big as the first medicinal beast herb pool." ”

Li Jingjing stood by the edge of a huge pond as big as a lake, looking more and more small, and said, "Really? Why can't I see it? ”

Yuyu asked Li Jingjing to ride it and fly high into the air, making Li Jingjing look down.

Li Jingjing was very excited and said loudly: "It's really twice as big." Then I can raise a lot of medicinal beasts and herbs. That's great. ”

Yuyu touched Li Jingjing's shoulder with her ear and said with a smile: "Master, last time you said that you wanted to raise more mussels." ”

Li Jingjing held the transparent ears of Yuyu that could see the red blood, and said loudly: "Mussels can produce pearls." I want to use pearls to make pearl ice cream for my grandmother, mother, and aunt that is better than goat's milk jade skin cream, and make them more beautiful. ”

According to Li Jingjing's instructions, Yuyu cast a spell to move more than a dozen medicinal beasts and herbs from the first medicinal beast herb pool to the new pool.

Li Jingjing waited for Yuyu to finish her work, and then went to Medicine Beast Mountain and Medicine Field Mountain to inspect.

"Master, you've been here several times and didn't stay long before you left in a hurry."

"Master, can you take a look at the herbs of the little animal?"

Hundreds of medicine rabbits surged up and surrounded Li Jingjing and Yuyu.

"Good news for you. Your master and I finally have my own yard, and as long as I don't go to my aunt's house in the future, I will sleep alone all night, and I can stay in the medicine house for a long time. After Li Jingjing announced this, the medicine rabbits were extremely happy and excited.

Since Li Bingjiu returned from the north a few months ago, He Jingyan, who was observant and cautious, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, who were strong in martial arts, followed him to Taiqingguan and Li's house, and Li Jingjing reduced the number and time of entering the Aphrodisiac Mansion.

Now Li Jingjing not only sleeps in a bed alone, but also has her own bedroom and Yueqing Courtyard, and she no longer has to worry about being discovered the secret of the Aphrodisiac Mansion.

She hugged the medicine rabbit one by one, and then took Yuyu around and went to the medicine room.

Yuyu couldn't help but ask, "Master, how many days can you stay in the Medicine Mansion this time?" ”

Li Jingjing smiled: "Just stay for sixty days." ”

Yuyu said happily: "Master, I'll go and make something to eat for you." ”

One person and one rabbit lived the previous leisurely and fulfilling pharmaceutical life again, day after day, and did not feel that time had flown by.

On this day, Li Jingjing was studying the Book of Medicine and Beasts, and Yuyu suddenly shouted nervously: "Master, your relatives have arrived at the courtyard where you live in the world. I'll send you out. ”

Li Jingjing's eyes were dark, so she returned to the bed, heard the sound of Li Yunxiao and Li Huan talking outside the door, looked up at the window, the sky was just bright, and quickly pulled the satin quilt to cover her small body.

Li Huan said unhurriedly: "Second young master, the young lady is resting, do you want to wait in the hall first." ”

"Okay then." Li Yunxiao saw that Li Huan was blocking the door and didn't let go, so he only nodded.

Li Jingjing took pity on Li Yunxiao for being frightened by the succession last night, and was afraid that he would be in a bad mood when he was in a hurry, so she put on her dress, called Li Xi to come in, combed her hair, and went to the hall after washing.

Li Yunxiao combed his bun hair, wore blue clothes and black pants, a white and fat little face, and a pair of eyes were red and swollen, and he ran over to hug Li Jingjing and cry.

Li Jingjing asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Li Yunxiao said with teary eyes: "Sister, I had a nightmare in the middle of the night, you and I were congratulated by my step-surname, I woke up scared, I was going to come over, but my two slaves stopped me, and I waited until dawn to come back." ”

He used to sleep with He almost every day. I slept by myself when I first arrived at the Hou Mansion last night, and I was frightened by He's words last night, so I had nightmares.

"Xiao Yanzi, you said it was a dream, it's not true." Li Jingjing rarely spoke to Li Yunxiao in a soft voice, "Actually, you misunderstood." The inheritance that my mother said to my aunt is not the same as Quhua's inheritance. ”

Li Yunxiao's eyes were full of tears, and he asked suspiciously: "Why is it different?" ”

Li Jingjing patted Li Yunxiao on the back and said: "Qu Hua's mother passed away, my father married his stepmother, and my stepmother abused him, and he lived in the Qu clan and broke off relations with my father. ”

Li Yunxiao nodded and cried: "People in the village say that Qu Hua's life is so hard. ”

Li Jingjing said carefully, she must hurry up to untie Li Yunxiao's heart knot, and said: "Our mother and father are in good health, and they are also very good to us, besides, even if we have the surname He, we still grew up in our family, which is the essential difference." ”

"If we die, we can't bury it in the ancestral grave of the Li family." Li Yunxiao's crying stopped, and when he saw that the snot had stained Li Jingjing's new clothes, he was a little embarrassed to wipe it with a handkerchief.

"Phew! You talk like this in the morning. Li Jingjing said angrily: "For us, the succession is just a change of surname, you are still my second brother, I am still your sister, grandparents, parents, little uncles, and big brothers are still treating us like before." ”

Li Yunxiao nodded when he heard this.

Li Jingjing instructed: "In the future, my mother gave birth to a little brother, and the surname was He, and the little brother grew up, don't talk nonsense to make him sad and sad." ”

Li Yunxiao promised: "I won't." ”

Li Jingjing had already gotten up and didn't go to sleep, so she took Li Yunxiao to Yuejing Courtyard first, and was told by the subordinates guarding the courtyard that Li Bing had gone to morning exercise and that Qu was still asleep, so she went to Yuexuan Courtyard.

At the gate of the Yuexuan Courtyard, the dragon and phoenix heard the voice of the He clan suppressing his anger at a higher volume than usual, "My sister is only one, and she is the second lady of the Qin State Mansion." I haven't seen the wife, concubine, and concubine of the Guogong Mansion's own family, and I haven't heard my sister mention it, and the lady who is marrying the Ming media is just that, and the concubines and concubines who can't get on the stage all recognize me as a relative under the banner of my sister, which is shameless! ”

A middle-aged man said: "Second master, second lady, how do you deal with the twelve red and white posts of the Guogong Mansion and the family?" ”

He Shi said coldly: "Pass the order, don't accept the posts of the Guogong Mansion in the future, if they have the face to send it again, they will return directly in front of the person who sent the poster." ”

Li Yunxiao whispered: "Mother is angry. ”

"Of course my mother is angry, hum, if it were me, I would be angry." Li Jingjing made a gesture to let the slaves and slaves who followed behind her stand still and not move, and asked the slaves guarding the door not to say anything, and took Li Yunxiao's hand and quietly went in.

He and Li Laoshi sat neatly dressed at the main table in the hall, and there was a pile of torn red and white posters on the table.

There were five rows of people standing in the hall, three in each row, taking turns to report on the matter.

"Second master, second lady, Ming is the 70th birthday of Lord Hao, the former governor of Hunan Province, Hao's house sent a post three days ago, and the little one inquired about what gifts other houses sent, according to the standard set by Steward Li a few days ago, prepared a gift, can you take a look?"

He carefully looked at the gift, a calligraphy and painting by a great painter in Hunan Province for a hundred years, and said: "Although he is a retired official, he has also served as an official from the third grade, and he can't be lazy." The gifts you have prepared can be used, we have discussed with the old man and sent the right people to the birthday wine. ”

"Second master, second lady, the military slaves given to our house by the imperial court have reached fifty households, and there are still one hundred and fifty households that encounter heavy snow on the road, and they will not be able to arrive until half a month later. Do you want to build a house for them? ”

He Shi looked at Li Li and asked, "Have you ever sent someone to pick you up?" ”

Li Li shook his head, his face ashamed.

He happened to see Li Jingjing, so he beckoned her to come over and asked, "Sister Jing, when will that Doctor Liu Taoist you said come to the mansion?" ”

Li Jingjing blinked her eyes wide and said, "Mother, don't you know what Guangmingzi is doing?" He would have sent someone to bring a message to his nephew Dr. Liu last night, and his nephew should be able to arrive today. ”

He said: "Uncle Li, you send four slaves to follow Doctor Liu with some silver money and medicine to meet the military slaves. Then he said to the servant who had just reported the incident: "The house must not only build houses for the military slaves, but also build them better, so that they can live for decades, and there will be no rain leakage in summer and wind in winter." ”

"Where are the houses built?"

He Shi thought about it and said: "The land in the house is scattered, you can build a few rows of houses every ten miles, enough for thirty households, build five places, and resettle these one hundred and fifty households." ”

Li Laoshi sat next to him, although he couldn't interject, but his face never showed a little impatience.

The He family handled the affairs of the house, and it took less than half an hour before and after forty-five large and small matters.

She took a sip of the tea handed over by the slave maid, held the dragon and phoenix fetus in her arms, and asked softly: "Why did you wake up so early and not sleep, is it that you are not used to falling asleep alone, and you miss your grandmother and mother?" ”

Li Yunxiao nodded.

Li Jingjing was afraid that she would have to live the previous life again, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, it's quite good for me to sleep alone." ”

He smiled and stroked the hair of the dragon and phoenix fetus, and said, "Let's have breakfast together." Xiao Lingzi had breakfast, and I still taught to read. ”

Li Yunxiao immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Mother, I'm going to see a friend in the academy today." ”

He shook his head and said, "If you go and they all test your knowledge, you won't, so you have to call them brother." ”

After a while, Li Yunqing came over to practice in the morning, and the family of five had breakfast in Yuexuan Courtyard.

Li Jingjing originally wanted to go to see the military slaves, but when she learned from Li Li's mouth that these people were building houses, she changed it to go back in a few days.

She went back to Yueqing Courtyard and wrote a letter to Qu Yi and Qu Zheng's family, and sent Wanglian to send it on horseback.

At noon, the Li family and He Jingyan were having lunch in Yuejing Courtyard, and the five of them rode horses and galloped to the front of the Hou Mansion.
