Chapter 82

If you only look at the appearance and don't have deep friendships, Li Tuotu standing there is also a style of a literati. It's just that there are no literati and scholars in the ancestors, and Li Tuotu, the spirit of the noble family, is inevitably contaminated. It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's inevitable that it won't be weird.

"Mother is well." Li Tuotu's etiquette is also complete, and the Zhao family is also happy when he looks at this son, but he is even happier when he sees his grandson.

Zhao asked Li Tuotu about some things outside, she is now the ancestor of this mansion, even if she asks more, it is nothing, others only say that she cares about the Xingguo Mansion. Then he talked about the palace that was transferred from the outside of the palace, and then from the front court to the inner courtyard. Li Tuotu listened to the old lady's nagging, and when he listened to it, he felt a taste.

“…… I don't dare to say what it means, but you have to have a charter of your own. I called you here today to ask you what you mean. It's been a few days, and the girls are getting older. ”

Li Tuotu couldn't figure out the deep meaning of his mother, so he could only compromise and say: "But it's up to my mother to decide." ”

"You are now also the grandfather of the country, the head of the family, and the whole family is counting on you, so tell me if you are willing. If you want, I will help you look at each other, if you don't want to, wait for another three years, Xiaoyu has a daughter-in-law, and it is not too late to have a housemother in this yard. It's just that then ......"

"My son is willing."

Listening to Li Tuotu's words, Zhao was stunned for a moment, she just gave it a try, Li Tuotu actually saved one or two euphemisms, unconsciously, Zhao was a little depressed, but this fire is not easy to develop, this is from the head or something, it is difficult to hit the mouth, so I had to suppress my temperament and continue to ask. "I don't know what my son wants from this steproom."

"The son is up to the mother."

"That's not good. Tell me about it, and I can refer to one or two. ”

Li Tuotu hesitated for a moment and said, "Regardless of the rest, it is best to be close to the people of the Xingguo Mansion." ”

"It's easy, but what else?"

"Not anymore."

After discussing this matter, the mother and son talked for a while, and Zhao excused himself for being old and not suitable for sitting for a long time, so Li Tuotu got up and left. Looking at the figure of Li Tuotu leaving, Zhao had a plan in his heart.

A few days later, when Li Shaoqing came to see Zhao, Zhao sighed when he mentioned Li Tuotu. Li Shaoqing comforted the Zhao family.

"It's not inunderstandable that my father is in a hurry to get married. Just can't be in too much of a hurry. The Duchess of the country must be a safe and secure person. Grandma has to worry more about the candidate, and the father's vision is not as good as that of grandma. No matter how much he said, Li Shaoqing couldn't say it, after all, Li Tuotu was his father, and it was already inappropriate to talk about his father's family affairs behind his back.

Zhao thought that what the eldest grandson said was very true, she didn't know where her son was, in addition to listening to the family background, the first point in choosing someone was to look at the face, but where in this world did there be so many people like Murong who had □□ appearance, temperament, and means. Besides, it can't be picked up, and there is no steproom that crosses the original match. After thinking about it for a while, the Zhao family really didn't have any good candidates for a while.

"Grandma doesn't have to worry too much, if the queen really helps us like that, you might as well take a good look, you can't live up to the queen's good intentions." Seeing Zhao's nod, Li Shaoqing continued: "It's just that my father is too eager, so it's not good." ”

"Xiao Bi and don't worry, how to say, I'm still in this mansion, even your father, and he can't go past me."

"Grandma is old and should be enjoying life, but now she has to work so hard, is it her grandson's."

"What are you talking about? It's not that you're not worrying. I didn't expect him to want to marry so much. It seems that he is going to get disgusted with the Zhou family and the Sun family. Xiaoyi, why do you say that many people don't have to worry about food and clothing, but it's not easy to be satisfied? ! ”

Li Shaoqing smiled and replied: "Grandma, don't sigh, the same rice raises all kinds of people, everyone lives in a different environment, receives different education, and naturally has different temperaments. How did Grandma know that the poor family didn't have big ambitions. Come to think of it, the poor man only wants to make a living for the time being, and once he has food and clothing, he will want more, which is a natural thing. The only difference is that some people are easily satisfied, while others are never satisfied. This is how people in this world come from. My father was just a layman. ”

Zhao thought about it, smiled, and felt that it was such a reason.

There is no reason for the father's marriage to interfere with the children, but the reason is reasonable, but it is inevitable to act one or two in private. In the future, this step-room was brought in, and they still had to call their mother on the big side, and they had to give three points of face. If this steproom shows filial piety, it can also suppress one or two stepchildren. Li Shaoqing couldn't stop his father from marrying, but he didn't want the Guogong Mansion to let an unconscious housewife come in. The Xinguo Mansion has been quiet for so many years, thanks to the successive housemothers.

In fact, the queen's affairs are still secondary, and Murong's death made Li Shaoqing haunted. Rubbing the dragon and phoenix pendant left by his mother, Li Shaoqing always felt that his mother should not have died so early. Although the birth of Li Shaofu made Murong's body much weaker, it was good for people to eat and dress in the Guogong Mansion, and he always paid attention to conditioning his mother, Zhao's mother-in-law was also very worry-free, and there was never a major conflict between the concubines, and the occasional quarrel was just a joke. Looking at the status, the Murong family is the head of the house, although the mother's family is weaker, but those concubines are not too hard. In terms of appearance, the Murong family is really no worse than those concubines. In terms of blessings, Murong not only has his eldest son, but also a young son, and then look at those concubines, at most they are daughters, and they will be older in the future, and they still have to live by looking at the face of the main mother. Ethics said that there was nothing unpleasant about the Murong clan. If you insist on saying something imperfect, Li Shaoqing thinks, probably his father.

Li Tuotu has the common problem that many men have, and he is willing to compare it with the likes of literati, like the wind and snow, and want to touch the flowers and grass, but he has taboo thoughts, saying that he is abusive, that is really not yet, but if he is dedicated, it is to open his eyes and say nonsense. However, in terms of self-control in women, Li Tuotu has always maintained a middle and lower level, and the two in the courtyard could not be quietly manipulated by the Zhao family.

Li Shaoqing guessed that his mother-in-law probably didn't know that Li Tuotu was such a temperament, otherwise, with a temperament like Murong's, he would rather marry someone who likes himself wholeheartedly than climb the son of the Xingguo Mansion. The Murong clan was satisfied with Li Tuotu at the beginning. It's a pity that the years are a pig-killing knife, and the man's inferior nature has also been exposed under the sharpening of this pig-killing knife. Murong knew that she should hold back, but it was not her temperament to hold back, but she could only hold back, and then learn to adjust herself. It's just that the depression in my heart has not been able to be expressed, and over time it will become ill. Of course, these are just Li Shaoqing's speculations. However, Li Shaoqing still didn't think that the Murong clan would end up depressed like this. Because she still has support and sustenance, her husband disappointed him, but her son was very well-behaved and sensible.

Li Shaoqing is not the Murong family, and no matter how much speculation he makes, it is in vain, but he is sure that his mother's early death is definitely related to his father. Even if he has doubts about Li Tuotu, Li Shaoqing has no clue at the moment, in fact, he doesn't want to think too much, let alone maliciously speculate about anyone, but sometimes, reality forces him to think more.

Coming out of Zhao's place and returning to the house, Li Shaoqing lay on the couch, feeling bored for a while, waved his hand, and the maid and the maid were very eye-catching and exited the door.

When he was in a daze, there was a figure under the cover above him, Li Shaoqing raised his eyes, and saw who else it would be besides Zheng Lanling, so he closed his eyes again and recuperated.

Zheng Lanling sat down by himself, but he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and only asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Annoying!" Li Shaoqing turned over and lay on the couch.

Zheng Lanling smiled and said, "Then I'll pinch it for you, and you will be more comfortable." ”

"Hmm!" Li Shaoqing snorted and agreed.

Zheng Lanling was funny, and then got started and massaged Li Shaoqing. People who understand martial arts usually know the acupuncture points of the human body, and Zheng Lanling knows that his junior brother is the best to enjoy, so he has put a lot of effort into it. It's not that he is boasting, but he is also very good at his craft now. Look at the comfort of his junior brother being pinched.

"This, this, that...... Oops, it's sour, but it's so comfortable! It didn't take long for Li Shaoqing to be conquered by his senior brother's craftsmanship, and his worries were gone.

Empress Yang's actions need time and space to brew, and Li Shaoqing feels that her twin sisters are more important than her father. In this era, the flowering period of women is too short, and it is always not wrong to look at each other in advance, and the choice is greater. Although he doesn't have much affection for Li Fang and Li Hua, Li Shaoqing doesn't want to be too mean to the two little girls, it is not easy for women to walk in the world than men, and they have to abide by the shackles of etiquette and religion, and the world of their lives is only a square inch, which can make them happy and make their lives longer.

Li Fang and Li Hua are now fourteen years old, and in another year, the ceremony of harmony also means that women can get married. But if you look at it at that time, it will be too late. Most of the women see each other in advance. In a big family, this is all the business of the main mother, but there is no main owner in the Guogong Mansion now, and the Zhang family and Miao family in the second and third rooms do not have the meaning of transgressing the meaning of the concubine, in the final analysis, it is just a concubine, even if it is a noble concubine, it is still a concubine, and these two twin sisters are concubines. It is impossible for a concubine to choose a lintel that is too high, even if their father is a grandfather. Therefore, Li Shaoqing thinks that this should be seen in advance. Zhao also felt that what his grandson said made sense, even if he was born by a concubine, but in the end, he had to □□ it when he walked out of the gate of the Xingguo Mansion. After thinking about it, Zhao felt that these two were also the first batch of women to be married out of the Guogong Mansion, she had to look at it, just like Zhou, she really didn't feel at ease. So, the Zhao family ordered someone to call Li Fang and Li Hua to the front.

Li Fang and Li Hua, except for the morning and dusk, are not transparent in front of the Zhao family at all. Big families all fancy their concubines, and the Guogong Mansion is no exception. Li Fang and Li Hua are not fools, they naturally know their identities. They are getting older, they have seen the battles in the inner house, they have also seen the failures of their mothers, and their father's love for them is limited. The capital they can rely on is that they were born in this Xingguo Mansion, so they are humble and polite to their elders.

Zhao looked at a pair of sisters, sighed, and then told them that they would often come to talk in the future, and then let Zhang and Miao help them. Li Fang and Li Hua were surprised and happy in their hearts, and they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them. The Zhou family has been childless for many years, but he is not stupid to the extreme, so he naturally happily sent his daughter to Zhao's side. Sun was very envious on the side, but unfortunately her daughter was still too young, and when she was older in the future, most of them would go to the housemother. But how can the stepfamily be as decent as the ancestors. However, now it can't be, Sun's only feels that Zhou's delivery is too good, obviously it is empty goods with faces and no brains.

Not to mention how Li Fang and Li Hua were well-behaved, how to flatter, and how to learn in front of the Zhao family, just a few days later, Li Shaoqing got an unexpected news, his father actually contacted his father-in-law's family, which was Li Shaoqing's grandfather's family.
