The Li family was originally a scholarly family, and they had the talent of prime ministers, but it was a pity that it was in the previous dynasty. However, after Tianwu established the country, the emperor did not stick to this, and because the Li family had also made some efforts, it was okay for the Li family. The descendants of the Li family followed the instructions of their ancestors and strived to read poetry and books, but unfortunately it was a little crooked, and the scholarly family produced a group of sour and rotten literati. He keeps saying that he doesn't smell copper, and thinks that only readers are high, which has created that all the income of the entire Li family is basically taken care of by the women in the house, and this group of gentlemen only concentrates on reading.

Old man Li also worshiped the official department of the household department back then, and later became an official in order not to hinder the official career of his children and grandchildren. I never thought that none of the descendants could get ahead, and the best one was just a second-class Jinshi background, who had a difficult time in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and later he became a scholar, but he just sought a small official position for him in the household department.

However, in the end, he couldn't stand his life, and he had two daughters under his knees who were not favored by him, and they became the head mother of the Yin family one after another. At the beginning, for the sake of Yin Zongheng's face, he got the position of the household servant. But that's the end of it, and I'm afraid I won't be able to rise higher in this life.

The stone lion at the gate of the Li family's mansion looked a little old, just like the Li family, exuding a faint decay from the bones.

Xiao Li got out of the carriage and looked at the pair of stone lions for a while.

"Auntie?" The Li family who came to greet them was a little puzzled, and hurriedly called.

'A' read 'Novel' ybdu

Xiao Li came back to his senses and glanced at the other party lightly: "Let's go!" ”

So, the little Li family walked in front with the subordinates brought from the Yin family strutting forward, while the subordinates of the Li family shrank their heads a little, followed behind, and did not dare to be disrespectful.

How many people are not eye-catching? What is the Li family now? If it weren't for such an in-law as the Yin family, where would there be a foothold for the Li family in this capital. After the aunt in front of her married into the Yin family, although the Yin family did not continue to help the Li family as before, this aunt and grandmother are also the current housemother of the Yin family. Serving her well and getting her close to the Li family can make the Li family live a better life. The Li family is good, those of them who are in the Li family can live a better life.

When I arrived at the Li family's inner house, I saw the Li family's wife, Ruan. The Ruan family is also from a scholarly family, but it is naturally inferior to the Li family. It's just that she gave birth to two good daughters, and her status in the Li family is different. What's more, now the Li family is only one old man who doesn't care about the world, and the Li family is also in charge of the Ruan family.

Xiao Li stared at Ruan Shi carefully for a few moments, and immediately understood that Ruan Shi was clearly pretending to be sick.

"What did my mother tell me to come back?" Xiao Li was a little impatient in his heart, and his attitude towards Ruan was a little cold.

Ruan Shi didn't care, but said angrily: "It's okay, can't I let you come back?" This is your mother's family, and your mother often thinks about you, you have no conscience! ”

Xiao Li took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in his heart: "Mother doesn't know that now that my mother-in-law has returned home, how can I go back to my parents' house as often as before?" Today, I thought my mother was sick, so I hurried back. If my mother-in-law knows that my mother is fine, just to let me go back to my house and lie, how will my mother-in-law think of our family at that time? ”

Ruan Shi was a little stunned: "So, so what?" This is our Li family's business, do we still want her to blame her more? ”

"But I'm a married daughter, her daughter-in-law, she can control me!" Xiao Li replied irritably, "Mother has something to say, say it quickly, I have to rush back to the house early." ”

Ruan stammered, as if he still wanted to cover it up, and first probed Xiao Li's tone: "Sister Xing, my mother really just missed you when you asked you to come back." Besides, the old woman is back, and you are worried about the Yin family, so it is better to go home and relax, your mother has already asked people to prepare your favorite dishes, you ......"

"If my mother has no other instructions, then I'll go." Xiao Li couldn't bear to listen to her babbling nonsense. After being the wife of the main house for so many years, she has not grown up at all, and she will only show some small tricks that people can see through at a glance. I can't complain about this up and down, but no one really wants to be close to her. Obviously, the skin is the best, and any aunt can snatch her father away from her. If it weren't for her belly fighting, I'm afraid she would have let her father retire long ago!

At first, the Ruan family wanted to be hypocritical again, but it can be seen that Xiao Li really got up and was about to leave, so he hurriedly dragged the person away, and laughed a little dryly: "Sister Xing'er is still so anxious, mother doesn't know how to talk to you, that's why she said that!" But it's not good for you to be so impatient all the time, it's just a matter of being petty in front of your mother, but you must not be like this in front of your husband, otherwise how can you please your husband? Mother has been respectful to your father all these years, not by this face, but by ......"

Seeing that she started to talk nonsense without any focus, chattering about those things that no one wanted to listen to, Xiao Li was a little angry: "Mother, what are you doing with all this uselessness?" "What is respectful? It's just that for the sake of her being the mother of the Yin family, she was given enough decency. Otherwise, with her temperament, it would be difficult for her father to take the initiative to step into her courtyard half a step in his life!

However, seeing that Ruan seemed to be taken aback by her, and looked a little slurching, Xiao Li still relented in the end.

In the final analysis, no matter how much Ruan Thi is, his love for her is also true. After all, it is a mother and daughter, where would she really ignore Ruan's?

took the initiative to sit down next to Ruan, Xiao Li poured her a cup of tea, and reluctantly calmed her tone: "Mother, there have been too many things in the house in recent days, and I am a little tired, so I will inevitably be a little irritable. The anger is too heavy, which provokes the mother, and I hope that the mother will not be like her daughter. ”

Ruan Shi hurriedly brought the tea to her, looked her up and down, and couldn't hide her distress: "Sister Xing, you also have to take care of your body." The body is your own, what can you do if you are dragged down? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Qi Ge'er and Brother Zhe'er. ”

Xiao Li nodded: "My daughter remembers!" ”

After a pause, he said on the topic of today: "What is the purpose of the mother calling her daughter back in a hurry?" We are mother and daughter, the closest of all. The mother needs to hide it from others, but if she does this with her daughter, it is a raw separation. ”

Ruan's family is also willing to listen to her daughter, hearing her say this, her old face was slightly red, but she also told the truth: "Isn't this the baby bump and pimple of the Yin family some time ago?" Thinking that she should also say that she should marry herself, she thought that the Yin family's favor for her would be settled in a few days. I didn't think about it, but there is no movement now, is it that the house has not decided on the candidate? ”

Xiao Li's temples jumped suddenly, and he closed his eyes: "What does Mother want to say?" ”

Ruan Shi glanced at her, and then said cautiously: "That's not your eldest brother's nephew, who is also nineteen years old this year, the two are not much different in age, and they played together when they were young, and there is also a cousin relationship." Since...... Since the Yin family hasn't decided on a candidate, why don't you work hard and let your nephew give it a try? That girl listens to you the most, if you are knocking on the side, maybe this family business will become a ......"
