Today is the first day of the fifth month, and it is the day when the second room asks for peace to the big house. In order to increase the momentum, the old lady asked everyone in the big house to be present on this day. As usual, the Peony Garden was full of people early in the morning.

The old lady sat on the upper seat, and Grandma Sun was waiting beside her. On the right hand below are Li Hongda and Li Hongwei. On the right hand side sat Chen, Li Lirong, Li Lijing and Li Lihui, and the second aunt Xu sat at the end because she was a concubine. Behind is the personal maid of each master.

Seeing that the second room had not yet arrived, taking this opportunity, the old lady turned to his eldest grandson Li Hongda;

"What's wrong with Da Ge'er today, her face is so bad, is it because she is not in good health?"

Li Hongda is eighteen years old this year, because of Li Xiang's good genes, his children are very handsome, and Li Hongda is no exception. Today, Li Hongda is wearing a green gown, with a slender figure and a fair face, which can be called clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. It's just that like his mother, his eyes are constantly turning with a shiny light, and his face is pale and dim, his eyes are clear, and his eyes are black, and those who are proficient in medicine know at a glance that this is a sign of overindulgence. However, no one in this understands medical skills, of course, I don't know that Li Hongda is so bold and reckless, and he dares to indulge in lust during the period of filial piety.

Li Hongda panicked in his heart, and secretly blamed Xiaohong for being sassy and hoofing, which pestered him all night last night. However, when he thought of Xiaohong's delicate figure, Li Hongda's heart was hot, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Well, I'll clean her up after I'm done in a while, and I must let her beg for mercy.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Li Hongda said to the old lady;

"Thank you grandmother for your concern, my grandson is fine. It may be that I read the ledger late last night and didn't have a good rest. ”

Hearing this, the old lady nodded, and said dotingly;

"Grandmother knows you work hard, but you also have to pay attention to your body. How have you been studying lately? There is still a month to go, and when the time comes, you will start to take over the firm, and if you don't understand anything, ask the shopkeeper more. ”

In order to let Li Hongda get started as soon as possible after taking over the firm, in the past six months, Li Hongda has stopped studying, but followed the shopkeeper Zhang arranged by the old lady to learn business knowledge. Shopkeeper Zhang is Mama Sun's husband, who has been helping Lao Taijun take care of her private property, and is also Lao Taijun's confidant.

Li Hongda didn't like to read, so the old lady made up his mind to let him take over the firm. After half a year, I have a certain understanding of business. Now the old lady asked about his strengths, so he immediately danced with his eyebrows and said proudly;

"Grandmother, rest assured, when the business house is in the hands of her grandson, her grandson will definitely make our Li Mansion the richest man in the vast country again."

"Hahaha, okay. My grandson has this ambition, and my grandmother is relieved. Hearing this, the old lady was very happy.

"Mother, don't worry, Da Ge'er can do it. After Da Ge'er takes over the firm, our Li Mansion will definitely be able to create brilliance again! Chen thought of his plan and boasted about Haikou.

Hearing this, Xu Shi was very discerning, and hurriedly flattered;

"Of course. Our eldest young master may have done it. As long as the eldest young master takes over the firm, where is there anyone else's business. ”

Then Li Hongwei, Li Lirong and Li Lihui also hurriedly agreed, which made Li Hongda even more proud.

Only Li Lijing sat there quietly and did not speak, but sneered in her heart. Hmph, dare you say it!

Just when it was peaceful in the Peony Garden, the maid at the door reported that the kitchen Ma had an urgent matter to see.

When the old lady heard that it was someone from the kitchen, she frowned, glanced at Chen, and ordered Ma to come in.

Ma ran into the lobby in a panic and didn't care about greeting the masters, and said anxiously without waiting for the old lady to ask;

"Old lady, big lady, something big has happened in the kitchen."

As soon as Chen heard that something was wrong in the kitchen, he immediately thought of Li Hongyuan who was locked in the cellar, his weak face changed, he panicked in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice;

"What's wrong?"

The old lady was also a little uneasy, but immediately asked calmly;

"What the hell is going on, tell me clearly."

"The slave maid doesn't know what's going on, today it was the slave maid and the great-mother on the morning shift, and now .......... everyone in the second room has rushed to the kitchen." Ma Shi told the story of what happened today. When Ma finished speaking, except for Li Lirong and Li Lijing, almost everyone looked at Chen with incredible eyes. Needless to say, everyone knows that this is Chen's handiwork.

The old lady was very annoyed. Although she had long known about the plans of the Chen family and Li Lijing, for the sake of the future of the Li Mansion, she reneged on her promise to Li Xiang and chose to support it silently. didn't expect the Chen family to mess up this matter, and now everyone knows about it, and even the second room has intervened. If this matter is not handled well, the reputation of the big house will be greatly bad.

The thought of the Chen family being so useless made the old lady angry, but now she had to let herself clear the relationship first. Thinking of this, the old lady pretended to have just learned the news, first couldn't believe it, and then roared at Chen;

"Okay, you Chen, I handed over Brother Yuan'er to you to let you raise well. That's how you gave me upbringing? ”

And Chen was already stunned, his face was pale and he sat motionless in his chair. But I was flustered in my heart. What should I do, not to mention the spread of this matter in the Li Mansion, even the second room is known, and the reputation that I have worked hard for several years has been ruined. Didn't that plan fall short? What to do? What to do? Yes, find Sister Jing, she is so smart, there must be a way to solve it. Thinking of this, Chen didn't care about the others at all, and hurriedly looked at Li Lijing, and was about to ask for help, but Li Lijing stood up, gave her a reassuring look, and then turned to the old lady and said lightly;

"My grandmother was angry, but my mother was also a victim. Three years ago, after my grandmother handed over my third brother to my mother, my mother went to Yuan Hong Temple to find the empty elder and calculate a hexagram for my younger brother. Elder Void said that the third brother was killed by Aunt Liu since he was a child, and his life would not be long. If you want the third brother to grow up smoothly, you must live with someone who is a snake and has a relationship with fire for three years, and no family members can visit you during these three years.

The mother thought that the king was just a snake, and she worked in the kitchen, dealing with fire every day, for the sake of the third brother's life, although the mother was reluctant, she had to hand over the third brother to the king and told her to take good care. said that after three years, he would take the third brother back to raise him personally.

In order to allow Steward Wang to take care of the third brother wholeheartedly, the third brother's monthly routine was given to Steward Wang, and every month his mother also made up some silver taels by herself. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――If you like it, please bookmark it.
