She remembered very clearly that at that time, Aunt Gu had just entered the door, Jiang Huanzhang returned to the mansion and went to the main courtyard, she must have turned to Aunt Gu's courtyard first to take a look, and at that time, her whole person was soaked in sourness.
But that day, he came back from outside, didn't even go to the main courtyard, as soon as he entered the house, he went straight to find her, asked Li Xin's past, asked her about Li Xin's care, asked if it was impossible for Li Xin to be today, and asked Li Xin's character, whether he knew how to repay his kindness, that time, he looked at her gaze, there was tenderness and surprise...... That time, she faintly felt disdain in her heart......
That time, she obviously saw it...... Not only is she blind in her eyes, but she is also blind in her heart!
For the next ten years, Li Xin has always been Jiang Huanzhang's most powerful arm in the officialdom, the year of A-Niang's death...... Yes, in the year of A-Niang's death, Li Xin suddenly made a bullet of paper and made all the unsightly things about Jiang Huanzhang public in the past ten years.
Jiang Huanzhang, who had already stepped into Zhongshu Province with one foot, was dropped to the Yongxing Military Road by one of the heels of this paper bullet, and struggled for four years on the Yongxing Military Road in the wind, sand and bitter cold before returning to the capital.
When Jiang Huanzhang returned to the capital, Li Xin had been transferred to the position of envoy and became Li Jixiang, and for more than ten years, Li Xin stood opposite Jiang Huanzhang and was incompatible with him.
In the past ten years, she could hear Jiang Huanzhang cursing Li Xin almost every day, scolding him for being a beast, scolding him for being a villain, scolding him for being two-faced and stabbed, and scolding him for being cunning and vicious...... But I never scolded him for being ungrateful!
Li Tong looked straight at Li Xin, the things that she had not been able to think about before, she had not dared to think through, and now she had stripped off all the disguises and rushed to her face.
This clan brother! This is the only one who has come out for her and her aunt!
Li Tong's legs were weak, and he knelt in front of Li Xin and cried loudly.
Li Xin's frightened eyes widened, his hands were pierced, he didn't dare to help him, he didn't dare to hide, he was even frightened, and his face turned white.
Mrs. Zhang pounced on Li Tong and hugged her, "Nan! What's going on? You see this is ...... Don't cry, don't cry...... If you cry again, A-Niang's heart will break! ”
"I ...... It's okay......" Li Tong knew that she was too out of shape, but she really couldn't control herself.
"I am...... When I see my eldest brother, I recognize ...... I know the eldest brother, I have seen the eldest brother, and the eldest brother still remembers...... Big brother definitely doesn't remember...... I just think...... Big brother is here...... So wronged......"
Li Xin stared at Li Tong, for some reason, Li Tong acted like this, these words made his heart hot, tears poured out at once, realizing his gaffe, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Mama Zheng for help, "Mama, sister ......"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't cry and laughed and was inexplicably sad, did Ah Tong think that Jiang Huanzhang would not dare to bully her if she had a big brother?
"A-Niang, if I ...... If...... I have a big brother...... He will dare to bully me again in the future...... I have a big brother! Li Tong's words are a turnaround, and they are also the most sincere truth.
In the past, if Li Xin was her mother's eldest brother, if the Li family, which only had her and her mother, had the support of her eldest brother, and the support of such a big brother who saw things and understood people very well, and was so capable, she might ......
Mrs. Zhang's heart jumped violently, helped Li Tong to sit down, looked at Li Xin, and smiled helplessly, "Brother Xin, don't laugh at your sister, alas, it's a long story...... You go and settle down first, rest for a while, and we'll talk later. ”
Saying that, Mrs. Zhang turned her head and instructed Mama Sun, "Zizhu Pavilion is quiet, the scenery is good, and it is convenient to enter and exit, settle the uncle in Zizhu Pavilion, you see it for yourself, you should add and change, hurry up and order to go down, and let people go to the show shop quickly, first take ten sets of clothes to replace the uncle, and then say to the sewing room, put the others first, first make all the things that the uncle wants to use, and ...... I didn't think about it, you and Pearl, and Lao Wan take a look, what should be added quickly, rather more, don't miss it. ”
Mrs. Zhang kept commanding, Li Xin's eyes were slightly red, and he solemnly shook it to the end, "Aunt Xie cares, you have everything, how have you lacked anything over the years?" No need. ”
"Auntie knows, you are a good boy. Mama Zheng......"
"Don't let me, wife! What do I want, I'll find my grandsister myself. Mama Zheng was frightened by Mrs. Zhang's talking, she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, and Mrs. Zheng's verbosity was much more powerful than her!
Watching Li Xin and Mama Zheng walk away, Li Tong sat down again, Mrs. Zhang looked at her with a smile on her face, "Sister Tong, you have reminded me of your crying." ”
"Huh?"
"When you were a child, I had the idea of recruiting a son-in-law, and then I thought about it, the son-in-law was looked down upon, and after two or three generations, someone mentioned that the descendants became officials, and they had to note that the ancestor was a son-in-law when writing their resumes, which is not good for the son-in-law, not good for the son-in-law, but not good for you, besides, if there is a queen of the Li family, we can take care of this! So this trick is redundant, and I thought about it once or twice. ”
Li Tong leaned at A-Niang, she also had such an idea!
"Later, I thought, although our family is just a mother and son, but your mother is still young, not to mention much, I can live to ...... fifty or sixty."
"Auntie!" Li Tong's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but cry out in disgust.
"Look at you, what's this? Death and life are commonplace, okay, okay, I won't talk about it. I think, my daughter is not impossible, even if she marries not very well, I can last for you for another ten or eight years, with these ten years and eight years, whoever you marry should have a few children, and you will be stable, if you marry well...... Alas, I don't mention this, so I haven't thought much about whether this mother's family has support or not. ”
Li Tong lowered his head and silently looked at the clear tea soup in the cup.
"You want to marry Jiang Huanzhang, I originally disagreed, Ah Tong, I don't blame you." Mrs. Zhang patted Li Tong's hand, "Why don't you agree, it's not because Jiang Huanzhang is not good, this one is still behind, the first one, you were too infatuated with Jiang Huanzhang at that time, and if you were too infatuated, it was easy to lose your heart, because of infatuation, regardless of men and women, there were many people who lost their lives, alas, I should have been ruthless at that time...... It's me who looked away. ”
"It's A-Niang who loves me too much, and she can't bear to make me sad." Li Tong leaned over and rubbed his face against Mrs. Zhang's arm.
"You kid! Alas, too, A-Niang knew the pain she couldn't ask for, and she bent it in her heart, and it hurt for the rest of her life, and she couldn't bear it at that time...... Alas! Don't talk about this, you are the same as your mother, your mother is the same as your mother's mother, it's all bad fate! Now that we've come to this point, it's not interesting to talk about how it used to be, so I won't mention it in the future, let's talk about it later, Ah Tong, you just reminded me, look, if we pass on Brother Xin'er, how about it?
