The four rooms of the Li family will be expelled so seriously, and there is a credit to Li Junran's calculations. When Li Junran first sent people to Li Jiatun to deliver rice and grain, of course, he also considered whether he would catch a big fish. It turns out that as long as the bait is sufficient, the big fish and the small fish can always catch one or two drops.

Because of this, Bao Zi's father really stayed for several days. Before Baozi's father returned to normal, there were two more outsiders in the family, a pair of brothers and sisters.

Originally, since the second room of the Li family moved to the mansion here in Yuezhen with the seventh uncle, grandfather and grandson, this manpower has obviously been a little insufficient. After all, it is a big house after the two houses are opened, and there are only four men in the house, and the adult men are even more pitiful, only one of the bun fathers, and there is a room of "old, weak, sick, and pregnant".

Even if three foreign men, Chen Shi, Huang Dou and Lu Bu, were added later, in the end, these three were Li Junran's cronies, and there was still a use. Let Chen Shi be responsible for the safety of the house, Huang Dou be in charge of the affairs of Fu'an Hall, and Lu Bu will not follow behind Li Junyang, which is also a last resort. As for the family, there are dozens of large and small rooms in the front and back yards, and it is obviously too hard to rely on Aunt Zheng and Aunt Lan'er just to clean up.

What's more, Aunt Lan'er is now mainly responsible for the kitchen, and Li Junran doesn't want Li Cui's to work too hard. Therefore, it is imperative to buy a few more strong men and girls.

Who would have thought that Li Junran hadn't had time for the seventh uncle of the ward to go to the Cui's family with Li Cui's family, and his uncle Li Zhengyuan to pick up people, and his little brother Li Junran picked up a pair of brothers and sisters on the way home one time. The brother and sister were orphans, surnamed Wang. Fleeing from other provinces passed through Yuezhen. The eldest one is already eleven years old, and his facial features are quite good, at least his eyes are clear. The younger one is said to be eight years old, but looking at the little arms and legs, it would not be doubted to say that he was only five or six years old. Because the truth is too thin.

When I first met, the little one was already sick. However, in Li Junran's opinion, it is not a big problem. It's nothing more than a lack of food and clothing, and the body's weak resistance is a little worse. Later, because of the wind chill in the previous spring, there was a high fever. I didn't burn out my brain, so it's a blessing in misfortune.

Li Junran easily cured the illness of the Wang family's sister. In order to repay the favor, the brother and sister sold themselves into slavery. Li Junran didn't want the brother and sister originally. Healing the sick and saving people is just a gesture. How can the brother and sister be more brainless than the other. Considering that his little brother Li Junyang was short of a scholar who served tea and grinded and took care of him, he asked the Wang family's brother to change his name to Li Xiangdong and be a scholar by Li Junyang's side.

As for the younger sister of the Wang family, she is still called Xiaozhi. Naturally, it's cheap Li Junran. At the beginning. Li Xiangdong didn't want his only sister to follow Li Junran. Even if that person is the lifesaver of his little sister. The eldest young master of the Yin family. Don't look at Li Xiangdong is only eleven years old this year, and he has never entered a private school, but he knows some things. For example, the personal maid next to the young master of a large family. In the future, it is very likely that she will be accepted by the master and become a roommate.

Even if there is a life-saving grace, selling yourself as a slave is a last resort, but as an elder brother, deep down I still hope that my only remaining sister can find a good family in the future, so that she is worthy of the spirit of his father and mother in the sky. The elder brother of the Wang family, who has changed his name and surname, would never have dreamed that the young master of the Yin family, who has a small nose, small eyes and a small mouth, whether he looks at it separately or in combination, and his facial features are so ordinary that he can't do it, would be his new master's sister-in-law~sister~

Looking at that delicate face, smiling and teasing his little sister, Li Xiangdong was stunned on the spot.

"How? Now you can rest assured, right? Li Junran raised her eyebrows and put on the disguise on her face again.

Li Xiangdong turned his head sideways in a daze, glanced at his own sister who was pink Feifei, and immediately understood that no matter how much he objected, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop his sister from rushing over like a moth.

The seemingly peaceful days have not passed for two days, and the courtyard gate on Wangyun Street was knocked on early one morning. The Li family doesn't have much contact with people on weekdays, especially after the grocery store was almost robbed, the uncle Li Zhengyuan closed the grocery store. The two men in the shop also gave them the money and let them go back to their hometowns. As for the old shopkeeper, because he had no children and no daughters, he stayed and watched the yard.

"Which one are you looking for?" The one who opened the door was Lu Bu, who lived in the first room of the inverted seat. Because it is the day of the White Deer Academy every ten days, whether it is Li Junyang or Li Junran, the "frail and sickly" young master of the Yin family, they are all at home. Lu Bu, who has been reduced to a coachman for the time being, in addition to taking care of the cattle and little black mules at home, is left with the job of guarding the gate.

"So, what's that...... Li, Li Zhengming, but don't you live here? Standing in front of the gate of the courtyard with white walls and black tiles, Li Zhengji, a crop man thirty miles away, looked at Lu Bu with a gloomy face. Seeing that Lu Bu was silent, Li Zhengji uneasily pulled his own mother-in-law Mihua Aunt beside him, and asked in a stumbling manner:

"Mihua her/mother, the address on the note is, is it here? Yes, could I be mistaken? ”

"It should ...... That's right. Aunt Mihua was not sure. On the same day, when the second room left Lijiatun in a hurry, he specially asked Li Junyang to send a message to help take care of the house, and also deliberately left the address of Yuezhen. Just in case, I went to the Li family's grocery store this time. Who would have thought that the grocery store was closed. If you weren't familiar with the old shopkeeper, I found out from the old shopkeeper that Lao Zuer also lives here. So the address should be infallible.

"You are...... Li Zhengji of the third master of the Li family? Lu Bu took out a booklet from his arms, and after a few quick flips, he compared the portraits of the characters on one page of the booklet with the person in front of him.

"Please, two of you." Lu Bu politely welcomed the person into the door, and then carefully probed and looked around, and then decisively closed the door. It's a pity that Lu Bu didn't know that after the courtyard door closed for a while, a figure still walked out of the corner.

Lu Bu took Li Zhengji and his family around the shadow wall carved with the pattern of Wufu Linmen, knocked on the second door, and passed through the carved corridor before coming to the front yard. The Seventh Uncle Ancestor was boxing in the courtyard.

"Old lady." Lu Bu respectfully bent down towards the Seventh Uncle Ancestor.

"Seven...... Grandfather. As soon as Li Zhengji saw the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, his originally anxious heart could be regarded as letting go of most of it.

"Why are you here? How is the village? "For the arrival of Lee Jung-gil. The Seventh Uncle Ancestor had actually been mentally prepared. When he left behind the second room of the Li family that day, he mentioned that if he really couldn't live his life, he could come to the town to find them.

"Not so good. The crops in the field are almost all dead...... If it weren't for ......" As soon as Li Zhengji mentioned the harvest in the field, the surprise when he first saw the mansion and the joy of the seventh uncle suddenly disappeared. At the beginning of the year, the cold spring froze the green seedlings to death and frostbitten more than half, and then missed the agricultural time despite timely replanting. In addition, after the beginning of spring, not a drop of rain has fallen, if it were not for the unusual rice seeds used, Li Zhengji couldn't imagine how to survive this day.

Rao is so, compared to previous years. This year's harvest is less than halfway through.

"Uncle Zhengji. Aunt Rice Flower. Li Zhengji didn't talk to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor for too long, and Li Junyang, who got the news, put down the book in his hand and hurried over.

"Ah, Ah Nian." Li Zhengji saw Li Junyang at first glance, who he hadn't seen for a long time. Somewhat unaccustomed to it. I have the impression that the boy who is much thinner and shorter than his peers. Not to mention a lot of tall ones. The people are much stronger than before.

"Look, Ah Nian has grown taller again. Ah Nian, is your mother okay? Aunt Mi Hua looked at Li Junyang, who was much stronger. He looked very happy. In addition to being happy, Aunt Mi Hua was worried about Li Xu's recent situation. Even if when the second room of the Li family sent food before, he brought a message of safety and sound, before she saw me, Aunt Mihua was still somewhat uneasy.

Why did the second room of the Li family leave Lijiatun in a hurry that day, it was not because when she returned to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she let the second sister-in-law of her mother's family who was out of tune almost have a miscarriage. As a result, it took a few days for this unobtrusive mother's family to come and take a look. Don't look at the many things I brought, and there is no sense of reflection in my words. Could it be that the second room of the Li family is still lacking those broken eggs? All I asked for was an apology. Since the Xu family is like this, and the Li Xu family, who came to the town for medical treatment, can't return to Lijiatun for a while because they want to recuperate and avoid moving, so they simply moved the whole family to the town.

Now that I think about it, I really didn't do anything wrong.

The front foot of the second room of the Li family just moved to live in Yue Town, and the back foot of the second room of the Xu family, which was out of tune, caused a big trouble in the tun - smashed the mourning hall in the fourth room of the Li family. The fourth room of the Li family naturally couldn't easily let go of this opportunity, and took the opportunity to knock the second room of the Xu family hard. The second room of the Xu family, which was already very poor, relied on his in-laws to come up with this silver.

In the days before the money was taken out, not only was there a commotion near the fourth room of the Li family, but even the family of Li Zhengji, the third master of the Li family, was also making a fuss. Speaking of which, it is also because Aunt Mihua's family is closer to the second room of the Li family. Xu Sini insisted that Aunt Mihua's family knew the whereabouts of the Li family's second room.

Not to mention, Xu Sini really guessed this point. The problem is that even if Aunt Mi Hua knows, it is impossible to tell a person who will harm her sister-in-law's miscarriage about the whereabouts of the Li family's second room. Looking at the posture, it is clear that he wants the second room of the Li family to be the main leader of this injustice and make up for the loss of the mourning hall being smashed.

No one is a fool.

"Mother is fine now, just rest in the courtyard at the back. Liu Er ......"

"Liu'er, that girl is back?"

Li Junyang was quick to speak for a while, and after realizing that he had missed his mouth, he hurriedly remedied: "Not yet." The aunt went to see her mother first, and the 'Wen Po' said that in half a month at most, the mother should give birth to a little brother. ”

"So fast? I've only been counting my days for more than seven months. Aunt Mihua was startled.

In this regard, Li Junyang can only respond with silence. Fortunately, Aunt Mi Hua still remembers that Li Junyang is not yet ten years old, and he is still a male baby. Some things are not suitable for talking to Li Junyang in the end. Coupled with the concern about Li Xu's family, Aunt Mi Hua didn't ask any more.

Aunt Mihua didn't have mind reading skills, so she naturally knew what Li Junyang was thinking. In fact, Li Junyang was not unclear, but he couldn't tell the truth to Aunt Mihua, and even the seventh uncle and the younger uncle Li Zhengyuan's grandfather and grandson hid a lot of things. This time, Li Xu was pregnant with multiple babies, and because of the accident on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he had to lie in bed for more than half a year. According to Li Junran's statement, if it weren't for the meticulous care with extraordinary means, it would be basically impossible to keep the baby in this belly. But Rao is like this, I am afraid that the birth is also thrilling and abnormal, and it is very likely that there will be dystocia......

So. Li Junran has already prepared to use a knife for a caesarean section at a critical moment. If it really doesn't work, it involves whether to keep the big or the small, it depends on the choice of the bun father. Obviously, these can't be told to Aunt Mihua, otherwise there will be another person who is restless and worried.

Li Junyang took Aunt Mihua through a shady flower gallery, walked into the crescent gate, and came to a secluded small courtyard when Aunt Mihua was almost dizzy by the pavilion.

"Good boy, this room is so cool." As soon as I entered the house, a cool breeze greeted me. Suddenly Aunt Mihua refreshed a lot.

"Mother. Aunt Rice has come to see you. ”

Li Xu, who was lying on the bed and felt tired, suddenly came to his senses, and before he could get up, he asked Aunt Mihua to stop him.

"Don't, Hui Niang, don't get up. Hurry up and lie down. If you startle the child. What's good. ”

Li Xu smiled. Changed a slightly more comfortable position, then pointed to the soft stool next to the bed and said, "You sit." ”

"Don't work for you, Hui Niang, you can take care of yourself." Aunt Mi Hua was not polite to Li Xu's family. sat down as soon as he sat down, looked Li Xu up and down, and saw that Li Xu's face was still ruddy, and he was somewhat relieved.

"Hui Niang, your belly is bigger than when Huai Anian was there. Have you seen the doctor? ”

"Yes. I've seen it and said the child is fine. ”

"That's good, that's good......"

Li Junyang saw that Aunt Mi Hua and his mother-in-law were in a posture, and most of them had to talk for a long time, so he quietly withdrew from the house. Li Junyang, who originally wanted to go back to the house to continue to study his homework, thought about it and went to Tingyu Pavilion in the backyard.

Listen to the Rain Pavilion, where Li Junran and Yin Xiaolian live. It's just that after the Lantern Festival, Yin Xiaolian stays in the manor most of the time, and even at home, it is almost a boudoir that listens to the rain pavilion. In this regard, Li Junyang was a little incomprehensible. But looking at his uncle's depressed appearance, he almost understood a little bit again.

Li Junyang took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and quietly came to the second floor of the Listening Rain Pavilion. After entering the house, he was surprised to find Li Junran leaning on the windowsill, very leisurely feeding the birds.

"Liu'er, Uncle Zhengji and Aunt Mihua are here."

"I know." Li Junran held a huge melon seed produced by the manor, teasing the chubby blue parrot in front of him, "Come, talk, say 'auspicious'......"

"Cock ......"

"Little fool." Li Junran reached out and gently combed the bright blue down feathers on the parrot's back and smiled.

"Stupid, stupid." Taking advantage of Li Junran's lack of attention, the fat parrot holding the bird rack bent over, stretched out his head, and snatched the melon seeds in Li Junran's hand into his mouth. Then he swallowed it lightly, and the melon seeds inside were eaten into his stomach, and the hard melon seed shell on the outside was spit out.

The corners of Li Junyang's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately sighed that this bird was definitely a sperm.

"Liu'er."

"Huh?"

"What did you say Uncle Zhengji and Aunt Mihua were doing?" The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Li Junyang didn't feel that Li Zhengji and his family just came to visit the Seventh Uncle Ancestor and his mother, but he was afraid that there was a side purpose.

"Those who come are guests. It's better if I don't show up for a while. Li Junran paused for a moment and continued to speak, "When Uncle Zhengji and Aunt Mihua left, they walked through Guanjing Street and asked Lu Bu to drive a mule cart to give them a ride. ”

"Okay." is as smart as Li Junyang, so he naturally understood what Li Junran meant. The so-called visitor is a guest, according to the friendship between the two families, they can help naturally. As for the meaning of the second half of the sentence, I'm afraid that when Uncle Zhengji and Aunt Mihua came, there was an extra tail behind it. Why else would you leave through the other exit?

Just as Li Junyang watched Li Junran tease the chubby blue parrot to talk, Li Xu, who was lying on the bed resting, and the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, who was enjoying the shade under the flower stand in the front yard, let out an exclamation almost at the same time: "Borrow food? ”

"Hui, Hui Niang...... I know that...... It'......"

"Sister-in-law, don't say anything. If it weren't for Zhengji's cousin and sister-in-law who helped him openly and secretly, I am afraid that this day would be even more difficult. It's just that I'm eating and drinking Lazar all day now, and my mother-in-law and Brother Ming (Liu'er) don't let me worry about family affairs. ”

When she came, Aunt Mihua didn't see Li Cui's and didn't think much about it. At this time, Li Xu's mentioned this, and Aunt Mi Hua realized that Li Cui's didn't seem to be at home.

"Hui Niang, where is the second aunt? I didn't see Brother Ming either. ”

"Mother-in-law and Brother Ming should be busy in the backyard (manor) vegetable garden."

"Oh. Hui Niang, if you are embarrassed about this, just assume that your sister-in-law has not mentioned this matter to you. ”

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. After a while, Brother Ming was busy with things in the vegetable garden, and asked him to take Cousin Zhengji to the warehouse to get it. Li Xu's family no longer cares about the affairs of the family, and knows that there is a warehouse full of rice in the family's warehouse, not to mention those in his own Liu'er's manor, it is not a problem to feed the entire Li Jiatun family.

Li Xu thought that saying this would put Aunt Mihua at ease, but seeing that Aunt Mihua was still frowning, she suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as she imagined.

Li Xu's temperament is indeed very soft, otherwise she would not have been held in the palm of Li Xiaofeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after being a daughter-in-law in the fourth room of the Li family for ten years, and she would do whatever she wanted. But Zimian does not mean that Li Xu is stupid. What's more, he has lived in Li Junran's manor for so long, and subtly, he has been somewhat affected.

"Sister-in-law...... If there's anything, just say it......"

……

On the other side, the Seventh Uncle Ancestor, who was smoking a cigarette pouch, squinted his eyes and frowned, and only after a long time did he speak: "This matter ......"

Li Zhengji looked at the Seventh Uncle Ancestor with some embarrassment. This year's annual situation is obviously not as good as in previous years, because of the disaster, the disaster area is not small, and the imperial court appropriately reduced the tax of one Cheng Tian, and only collected two percent. Li Zhengji's family has five acres of high-quality fertile land and eight acres of medium-sized fields, don't look at only half of the harvest in previous years, because the rice seeds sponsored by Li Junran were finally harvested, and after drying and harvesting, the yield per mu reached as much as three stones and nearly four stones.

They are all farmers who have been farming for generations, and in the same famine years when there is a shortage of water, they carry water day and night and work hard to irrigate, but the result is still different from the growth of rice seedlings in the field next to them, which clearly shows that there is a problem here. Even if Li Junran had already lost half of the rice seeds in advance, the inferior part was eliminated because of the two cold spring snows.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, after Li Zhengji's family has paid the field tax, there is still a lot of surplus grain left, even if the life is not as comfortable as in previous years, it is impossible to be hungry. After all, it is impossible for the villagers to eat white rice all year round, and most of the time it is sweet potatoes and corn mixed together.

This day is obviously much better than others, especially living in the second brother's house next door.

Again, no one is a fool.

Li Zhengji's family has good rice seeds, and the neighbors who want to live a good life naturally come to the door to ask for rice seeds. The simpler people didn't think about it for nothing, and planned to exchange it for their own. Of course, it is not possible to redeem one-to-one. However, Li Zhengji still firmly remembered what Li Junran once said to him, those rice yields are quite high, but they can only plant one stubble, and they can't be rice seeds in the coming year, and there will be no harvest.

Because he remembered, Li Zhengji naturally didn't dare to exchange the remaining rice at home with others, this is not a cheat. After explaining the reason, others may or may not believe it, but Li Zhengji refuses to change it and has no choice. Everyone can be sent like this, and his own son Li Pingxi can also take Li Junran as a reason, but it is not so easy for his second brother who likes to compare.

As a last resort, after discussing with Aunt Mi Hua, Li Zhengji decided to try his luck in the second room of the Li family in Yue Town.

It's a pity that no one can help Li Zhengji settle this matter except for Li Junran. (To be continued.) )
