Chapter 148: Refusal
The four brothers of the Li family are all from farmers, and their hearts are not so twisted and turned, even if Li Yihai has read for so many years, he is still simple and kind.
Otherwise, he would not have taken out Li Yihe's silver taels for him to go to Beijing to catch the exam, nor would he go to the dock to work as a coolie to make money for him to eat and drink when he went out for entertainment.
Because he cares, the injury is so unforgettable, so he is unwilling and can't forget.
"If I don't run, I will be pressed by you to marry a flat wife. Big brother, ask yourself, what would you do if someone forced you to stop marrying another wife? Don't tell me you're not asking me to divorce my wife, anyway, your rhetoric is just a cover for your despicable hypocrisy. I have a wife and a daughter, why do you force me to marry a wife? I have a father and a mother, why should you be an elder brother and make decisions for me? It's as if you're doing a lot for me, but in fact, it's just that you took a fancy to the Fei family's wealth and the conditions they promised you to enter the country. Li Yihai was furious for a while, how could he care that the juniors in the house were there, as well as the new aunt, all of them told him.
Li Yiyuan's face was blue and white for a while, and he was told by his younger brother that he was in his mind, can he not be embarrassed?
But he couldn't admit anything, he said with a straight face: "Third child, I am wronged to death if you say that." The eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, and no matter how much the Fei family marries, it is you who give it, what does it have to do with me? Entering the country to study is also because they think I have a promising future, so this is just an investment, and it has nothing to do with whether you marry a flat wife or not. ”
Although he said this, although the Li family was born in a peasant family, they were all literate and literate, so this would deceive the innocent children who did not know the world!
Li Yihai snorted coldly, stopped arguing with him, stood up and said to Li Laoshi: "Dad, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first." ”
This attitude of ignoring made Li Yiyuan even more embarrassed, and the disgust index for him in his heart skyrocketed, and it was already pointed at Li Yihe.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the house became even more awkward, Qian hugged his daughter and hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go see San Lang" and left, and the family broke up on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
After Jiang Feng and his wife left, Li Yihe also brought a family to leave, "Second brother, you stay, I have something to tell you." ”
He looked back, Li Yiyuan looked at him with a very gentle look in his eyes, with a trace of kindness and warmth that he had not had before, he was puzzled, stopped and asked, "What's the matter with the eldest brother?" ”
"Come in and say, it's a great thing." As he spoke, he entered the flower hall first.
Li Yihe thought for a while and said to his wife: "You take the children back first, I'll see what happens to him?" ”
Fu Shi answered, took the children and walked back, Li Xiaoran glanced at the eldest brother, "Oops, I left the candy given by my sister-in-law, mother, I want to go back and get it." ”
Fu Shi said angrily: "It's just a few pieces of sugar, and our family is not without ......."
"That's different, this is given by my sister-in-law, and there is a red date cake in it." She said and pulled Li Xuefeng's arm coquettishly, "Big brother accompany me to get it!" ”
"Mother, I'll just accompany my sister on a trip." Li Xuefeng said: "You guys go back first." ”
Fu Shi shook his head helplessly, "Go and come back quickly, call your third uncle to our house for two drinks with your father in the evening." "It would be better for him to vent.
Li Xiaoran waved his hand, although Li Xuesi also wanted to follow, but his sister glared at him, he had to follow his mother and second brother home unhappily, and turned back from time to time on the way, feeling very aggrieved that his sister went to eavesdrop and didn't bring himself.
"Come on, I've come up with some bad ideas." Li Xuefeng nodded her forehead and walked back first.
She jumped up and down with a smile: "I'm such a good boy, how can I have any bad ideas, I think that person is going to have a bad idea, I have to help my father listen to it, don't let him be calculated." ”
"You're just worrying about it, Dad has already seen through him." Li Xuefeng stretched out his hand to hold her, "Don't speak, otherwise it will be bad for them to hear." ”
The two went back to the Li family's mansion, the gatehouse opened the door, and the two rushed directly to the outside of the flower hall in the inner courtyard, the door was closed tightly, and they couldn't hear anything at all, she tentatively pushed the door, the door opened into a crack, and the two quietly got in, and there were four pots of half-person high Wan Nianqing at the door of the flower hall, and they stood behind Wan Nianqing, looking at the scene inside and wondering.
What are these four people doing sitting, they can't see Li Yiyuan's expression, but they can see that Daddy's expression is grim, and his eyes are staring at him with blazing eyes.
Li Laoshi and Tian both lowered their heads, it seemed that these two didn't want to care or couldn't manage the conflict between their two sons.
Li Yihe's voice sounded slowly, "Big brother, can you tell me why I am Ran'er?" Don't you have two daughters yourself? With my status, I don't think that Lord An should look down on it! Can the eldest brother explain to me, how did the family affairs that so many people stammered fall on my family's Ran'er? ”
Thinking that this is also what Tian thought, she looked up at Da'er expectantly, hoping that his explanation would make the mustard in the second child's heart smaller.
Li Yiyuan knows that the second brother is not the honest second brother he used to be, he started a business and planted rice, which shows that he is shrewd and capable now, and he can't fool him.
"Although I have two daughters, but Tian'er, I have already told people about her family, Qiao'er and Jin Peng are married, I think, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, this family affair is excellent. An Daren only has two sons-in-law, and the family I am talking about is his second son-in-law, who is 14 years old this year. The reason why I want to marry our family is because I have won the favor of the third prince, so I took the initiative to propose this family business. ”
He said with some heartache, "Second brother, if it weren't for my two daughters who were set up, I wouldn't have given you this kind of good thing." He won't tell him that the second son of the An family had a fever and burned his brain when he was a child, and now he acts like a child, but in fact, he is a fool to put it bluntly.
The An family didn't want to find a girl with a low status, and the noble one couldn't look down on him, so after Li Yiyuan found out, he turned his mind to his niece. With his identity, Li Xiaoran is his niece, and if you are high, you can say that she is not the daughter of a merchant, nor is she a village girl, and she can barely go up.
He tested the eldest son of the An family, and sure enough, the other party agreed when he heard that it was his niece, and proposed to let the two get married first, and wait for the woman to reach the age of fifteen before having a round house. is to be able to find a playmate for An Ergongzi and find a child daughter-in-law to take care of him.
Li Yiyuan naturally agreed, the status of the An family is noble, and he can get a lot of money for Gongzi An's grandfather's family, so the sooner and better this matter will be.
Hearing him swear that the An family married only because he fancied his future, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh secretly, what a thick skin does this have to be so confident!
What other three princes, Li Yiyuan actually caught up with such a noble prince, and he was afraid that he would have no scruples in the future.
Li Xiaoran didn't know that the so-called favor of the three princes in his mouth was just to see him from afar, and now he is just a lifter, or a foreigner, and the third prince will not really take him seriously if he is a corporal of Lixian.
Li Yihe didn't believe his words, his eldest brother was a person he knew thoroughly in the past few years, that is, a selfish and hypocritical person.
He stood up, with a complicated look on his face, and said loudly: "I don't agree with this." Ran'er is too young now to talk about family affairs. Moreover, we are just a Zhuang family, and we are not worthy of Gongzi An, it is better for the eldest brother to marry Tian'er, anyway, Tian'er's family affairs are just a verbal agreement with the other party. ”
After he finished speaking, his eyes stared at him tightly, and sure enough, a trace of annoyance flashed in Li Yiyuan's eyes, Jia Ran didn't know what was wrong with the An family, but he knew that Li Yiyuan was not willing to marry his daughter, does this mean that there is a ghost in this family business!
He snorted coldly in his heart, sure enough, does he have to calculate his Ran'er again? He is no longer the bun he was a few years ago, he will definitely protect his daughter and grow up happily and happily.
Li Yiyuan sighed, his voice was full of tiredness, "Second brother, you don't believe in big brother like this?" I'm your eldest brother and Ran'er's uncle, can I hurt her? Ran Er got married, wore gold and silver, and was served by slaves, and became a young grandmother of an official family, where can I find such a good thing? What's more, Ran Er became a young grandmother of an official family, and it will also be a good thing for Xuefeng and Xuejian in the future, this imperial examination is not so simple, that is, if you are really admitted, whether you choose an official or not, what kind of official you choose, that is all particular. Second, you don't understand this, don't think that you don't like the eldest brother and ignore the children's future, your acting rash is not good for the children. ”
can really pretend, look at his expression, listen to his voice and words, as if he is really thinking about Li Yihe's family.
Of course, if this were to be put in an ordinary family, maybe it would be agreed. No matter how good a daughter is, it is not as good as a son who has to pick a door. The daughter can be a young grandmother, even if the other party lacks arms and legs, it is an excellent thing for people with inferior families.
Thinking about it like this, Li Xiaoran felt that he knew something about the truth, and he couldn't say, that Young Master An might really be a disabled person, or it was possible to say that he was mentally retarded.
If Li Yiyuan knew her thoughts, he would definitely sigh at the intelligence of this niece.
"Second brother, what your eldest brother said is reasonable, this matter is a good thing for Ran'er, when the young grandmother eats fragrant and spicy food, and has servants to serve, is it not better than marrying a farmer to plant land for a lifetime and be strong for a lifetime? Besides, this family affair has been completed, which is a help to the three Xuefeng brothers. Li Laoshi couldn't hold back, and felt that his eldest son's words were really reasonable.
He felt that he was already persuading him very fairly, but Li Yihe didn't appreciate it, "I'm not acting rashly, this matter is not right anyway, Xuefeng If they really have the ability, they will earn their own future, take good care of his sister, and let me sell my daughter to pave the way for my son, I can't do this." ”
