"Ma'am, ma'am!" Grandma Sun's jubilant voice came in, interrupting the silence between the two. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What's wrong? Shouting and screaming! Mrs. Zhang frowned, she had been in a more irritable mood lately.

Mama Sun came in quickly, "Madam, girl, let's see who's coming!" ”

"Who's coming?" Mrs. Zhang stood up, and Li Tong also stood up.

"It's Brother Xin'er who is here, and Mama Zheng is also here!" Mama Sun pointed behind her, Mrs. Zhang had already seen it, ran down the steps in a few steps, and rushed to Mama Zheng in one breath.

"Why did you come here? I didn't say a word beforehand, so I could send someone to pick you up, how are you doing? I heard that you were sick a few years ago, and I didn't sleep well for a few nights, but now it's neat? People have been eating ginseng, right? When did you arrive? How do you know to come here? This trip is for Brother Xin'er's spring exam next year? ”

Mama Zheng was asked by Mrs. Zhang's barrage of questions and wiped her tears while laughing, "It's all good, it's all good, I came with our ship, and Steward Liu accompanied me all the way, and it was very good all the way." ”

"Mama come in and sit, what about the pearls, water lotus, twist a handkerchief, and soup, hurry up and get a bowl, have you eaten the rice?" Mrs. Zhang was still excited.

Mama Zheng is her nurse, alone, and treats Mrs. Zhang closer than her daughter, and Mrs. Zhang also treats her as a mother.

Mrs. Zhang got married, she followed her to the Li family, and later because Li Xin left the house to live outside, Mrs. Zhang couldn't trust others, so she asked her to take care of Li Xin, and this care was more than ten years.

"Ah Tong, come and give Mama a salute." Mrs. Zhang greeted Li Tong, and Li Tong stared at Li Xin directly, looking happy and sad, with irresistible excitement.

This is her brother, Li Xin and Li Jixiang, she recognizes it!

Li Tong stared straight at Li Xin, countless past moments surged up and down, tossed back and forth, churning her heart, at this moment, she understood all kinds of pieces in the past ten or decades, and the sour and spicy breath in her heart rushed up one after another, rushing her staggering, almost unstable.

Li Xin is four years older than her, the year she was born, Li Xin's father Li Yiming took advantage of the winter to go out to run business, but he didn't expect to encounter a violent storm, a shipload of goods and people capsized into Dongting Lake, Li Xin's father's clothes have not been buried, Li Yihai, the second son of the Li clan patriarch Li Yihai, the most unsuccessful second son, stared at Li Xin's family's 100 acres of good paddy fields, and forcibly seized this 100 acres of paddy fields on the grounds that Li Xin's mother's Wen family would definitely not be able to hold on sooner or later and will remarry.

Li Yiming is the only son, at that time, Li Yiqing, the eldest son of Master Li, had already been promoted, and he had already been awarded the official, and he was the only official body of the Li family, the Li clan did not dare to offend Master Li, they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and there was no one in Wen's mother's family, no one stood up for her, and Wen ran to the county to sue the official, but was sent to the clan by the government for disposal.

Wen is a fierce man, and in anger, the night before the Spring Festival ancestor worship, he asked Li Xin to kneel into the Li family ancestral hall, and hanged himself at the door of the Li family ancestral hall with a rope.

Li Xin climbed to the stage and smashed everyone with the tablet of the ancestor of the Li family like crazy.

Master Li said that he smashed the ancestral tablet and rebelled, tying him up and throwing him into the pond.

That year was the second year that Mrs. Zhang married into the Li family, holding Li Tong, who had just been born not long ago, and the family of three went from Huzhou City to the ancestral house in the countryside to worship the New Year, and witnessed this tragedy.

Li Tong's father asked Li Xin to be fished out of the pond and quietly brought back to Huzhou City, and Mrs. Zhang asked her nurse Mama Zheng to follow her to take care of Li Xin.

At that time, Li Xin hated the word Li very much, that is, when he saw the plum tree, he had to kick a few feet and spit a few mouthfuls of saliva, Mrs. Zhang and his wife saw him like this, and they didn't dare to explain the truth, for fear that Li Xin would know that the Li family was taking care of him, and he would have some accidents in anger.

In the early summer of a year, Li Tong's father contracted an epidemic and disappeared.

Li Tong's grandfather died early, his grandmother relied on her mother's family to bring her only son, Li Tong's father died of illness, and her grandmother was very sad and died of illness within half a month.

Master Li and Li Yihai, who got the sweetness, immediately rushed to Huzhou City and stretched out their hands to Li Tong's family, the biggest fortune of the Li family.

Mrs. Zhang was born in a business, and her mother's family was thin. Master Li's eldest son had already served two terms as a magistrate at that time, and his promotion was in sight, and it was the time when it was prosperous.

Mrs. Zhang hugged Li Tong, and with the support of Mrs. A-Niang Yan, she stood opposite Mr. Li and the entire Li clan, and started this lawsuit for her life.

This lawsuit has been going on for more than a year.

In the autumn of the following year, Mr. Li's eldest son was promoted to the prefect, but a month later, Mr. Li's eldest son was dismissed and investigated because of his greed for ink.

Li Yihai was beaten to death in the lobby on the spot, and Master Li was beaten with a hundred water and fire sticks, and died two days after being carried home.

In this lawsuit, Mr. Li's family was ruined, and Li Tong's mother lost most of the family's property insurance.

In the month when the lawsuit was concluded, Mrs. Zhang hugged Li Tong, took all the servants and subordinates, sealed the old house in Huzhou, and moved to the capital to settle down.

Mrs. Zhang and Li Tong had just settled down in the capital when they heard that the prefect of Huzhou had been deprived of his post and would never be hired because of the domestic anti-Lun case.

On the day the lawsuit was closed, Mama Zheng led Li Xin into Li Tong's house, and Li Xin cried into tears in front of Mrs. Zhang, and her kowtow head was broken.

Mrs. Zhang originally planned to take Li Xin to settle in Beijing together, but Li Xin was not very old, but he had a very good idea, saying that the two Zhejiang literary styles were the thickest, and he had the most good teachers and friends, and he wanted to stay in Huzhou to study, and he would not have to go back and forth for the examination of children and Xiucai in the future.

Li Xin wanted to stay, Mama Zheng took care of him for a year or two, and when she heard that he was going to stay in Huzhou, she was neither at ease nor gave up, so she stayed, and in this way, Mama Zheng and Li Xin stayed in Huzhou City.

Li Xin was talented, and he was extremely angry when he was a scholar, and when he was sixteen years old, he was selected for Xiucai, and Mrs. Zhang wrote a letter, saying that he was too young and not to be impatient, and suggested that he go out to travel for a few years.

Li Xin followed Mrs. Zhang's advice, followed the Li family's merchant caravan, traveled everywhere in the north and south, and did not return to Huzhou City until he was twenty years old.

In the past, did he also enter the capital at this time?

In the past, she had been in Jiang Mansion, her heart was tied to Jiang Huanzhang, and all her energy was occupied by the filthy Jiang family, and she didn't remember what he entered in the capital, but she didn't know at all. (To be continued.) )
