Chapter 40: A Soldier's Family Affair (5)

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! The phone rang at the Weser family. Li Yifang hurriedly picked up the phone, and the voice of her eldest son Wei Kun came from inside, "Mother, what are your orders?" ”

Li Yifang said a little unpleasantly: "Wei Kun, I have prepared your change of clothes for you, if you don't go home to get them, I will send them to you." ”

Wei Kun hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't bother you to come." I'll go back and get it in a few days. ”

Li Yifang was amused by her son's words, "It's been almost a month since you said this, and I don't know what your clothes are dirty." ”

"I'll go back the day after tomorrow." Wei Kun hurriedly said. is in his twenties and asked his mother to deliver the clothes in person, Wei Kun is really unhappy.

"You said you would come back today the day before yesterday, but you still haven't come back today." When a mother's care for her son is always endless.

"I will definitely go home the day after tomorrow, and I still have some work to ask my father, you can rest assured." Wei Kun said.

Hearing this, Li Yifang couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart. When the son was young, he always loved to be with his mother, but as he grew up day by day and took on heavier and heavier work day by day, the son became closer and closer to Wei Ze. Married to Wei Ze for nearly thirty years, Li Yifang knows very well how far a man can go when he is busy with work.

Too many times, Li Yifang thought that Wei Ze had gone to sleep in Qi Hongyi's room after handling the work. When she woke up alone in the middle of the night, she saw that the light in the study was still on. When I pushed the door and looked, I could always see Weser working in the study. People who take responsibility are not just getting the job done, they're even doing it by burning their lives.

Seeing his son like his father, Li Yifang naturally liked it very much. Seeing his son working hard like his father, Li Yifang felt very distressed.

Putting down the phone, Li Yifang thought for a while and dialed Levi's. After the secretary picked up the phone, he asked that it was Li Yifang calling, and hurriedly went to inform Levi. After a while, the secretary came back and told Li Yifang, "Li Zongli is busy with work now, he said, he will call you back when he is free." ”

Li Yifang was very disappointed in her heart, she called her son, and the person who answered the phone said, "Helper Wei is busy in the factory, I will tell him when he comes back." "It's the same result when I call my cousin, in fact, Li Yifang called Wei Ze, and it was the same nine times out of ten. When I was young, my husband was by my side, my son was on my knees, and my relatives and friends came to visit me, and it seemed like a dream, and I would never come back. This made Li Yifang suddenly feel a sense of sadness.

Looking at it now, it is not only her eldest son who is leaving, but also her younger daughter and son, who are also going to college and graduating, and will find a job like her eldest son Wei Kun in the future, which Li Yifang does not know, and is busy every day. After a while, they will get married again, have children, and have a life of their own. Who else is left in Li Yifang's life?

Theoretically, there is Wei Ze by Li Yifang's side, but from his youth to the present, Li Yifang has never seen Wei Ze idle for a day. Legend has it that the rich and colorful life in the palace is not seen by His Majesty Weese. Now the normal entertainment life is not less, whether it is watching singing, watching circus, or listening to concerts, Wei Ze does not participate in it. If there's one thing that can be called entertainment, it's probably his regular two-hour workout every day.

In addition, the only person who can theoretically be called family is Wei Ze's other wife, Qi Hongyi. There are a lot of theoretical things, so this is just a theory. Li Yifang will reach retirement age in two years, she is a "revolutionary hero" who joined the Liberation Army before arriving in Guangdong in 1855, and after Li Yifang's retirement, in addition to the pension that can be received after retirement from the postal service, there is also an allowance that only revolutionary heroes can get. She has no financial problems at all, and now Li Yifang's heart disease is to quickly find a daughter-in-law for her son and give birth to a child, so that she can take care of the child at home. Only in this way can the increasingly deserted home be lively. The purpose of looking for Levi is to ask Levi's uncle, to help Zhang Luo.

Just as Li Yifang was sitting on the sofa thinking about these things, the phone rang. After picking up the phone, Li Yifang found that it was Levi's calling. Levi listened to his cousin Li Yifang's request to introduce a partner to his nephew Wei Kun, and he didn't answer immediately for a while.

Li Yifang felt that Levi was searching for a family suitable for girls in her mind, but she didn't expect Levi to be silent for a while and ask, "That's it?" ”

There were words in these words, and Li Yifang couldn't help but be alert. The system of the Min Dynasty is different from that of other dynasties, but Li Yifang's current status is at least comparable to the two palaces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If she didn't want her son to inherit the throne, it was impossible. However, compared with Qi Hongyi, who is more flamboyant, Li Yifang's starting point is that her son should not have an accident first.

Qi Hongyi is doing historical research work, and Li Yifang also has the opportunity to contact many books. What she noticed was that those more "expected" princes actually had a bad relationship with Lao Tzu, who was the emperor. It is impossible for the emperor to give the power in his hands to others, even his own son. If the crown prince wants to get power, he has to wait for the emperor to give up power, and it is more difficult for the emperor to give up power than for the emperor to die.

Now the Li family's power is greater than that of the Qi family, the "national uncle" Li Yuchang retired after serving a term as prime minister, and the "national uncle" Li Weisi is becoming the prime minister. Although Qi Yuchang of the Qi family has done quite effectively in the position of director of the National University Library, Qi Yuchang has passed away, and his reputation is more of an academic life. This reputation is detached and has a limited impact on reality.

At this time, Li Yifang, who was on the dominant side, didn't want to find trouble at all. The end of someone who makes Weser feel a threat is not very good. A few years ago, the little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the empress dowager of the two palaces were executed, thinking of this problem, Li Yifang also thought that what Wei Ze said to Qi Hongyi may not be unreasonable. If you let someone who is incapable become the emperor, this is not helping him, but really harming him. And it is not only one person who is harmed, but also a country and a family.

If it was not Xianfeng or Tongzhi who inherited the throne of the Manchu Dynasty, but Wei Ze, I think that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would never come to the point of destruction, let alone end up with the princes and ministers being beheaded and killed. For his son, he is now working according to his father Wei Ze's arrangement, to establish his own career step by step, and accumulate merits. Li Yifang believes that this is the best way.

So Levi's words made Li Yifang feel that there was a big problem inside, and it was not a trivial matter to find a daughter-in-law for her nephew. If Levi thinks it's a small thing now, then what kind of big thing did Levi encounter?

However, Levi's gaffe was only a matter of a moment, and when he realized that he had understood something wrong, he reluctantly smiled: "I have to collect information on this matter first, do you think I will care about whose girl every day is old enough to get married?" ”

After Li Yifang heard this, she immediately chose not to say much, and she also smiled: "Your child's uncle, you have to worry about snacks." If I contact at work, I feel unwilling. ”

After a few casual words, the call was over. Putting down the phone, Li Yifang only felt a little uneasy in her heart. Levi obviously encountered something that he didn't dare to communicate with Li Yifang at all, but he had a lot to do with Wei Ze. This must be a big deal, but these things are not good.

Almost at the same time, Qi Hongyi was working with Xiao Huizan's wife Wang Yuehe in the office.

Wang Yuehe asked: "Sister Qi, I remember that your Wei Rui has also reached the age when it is time to get married, why has there been no movement?" ”

The marriage of the eldest son Wei Rui has always been the most difficult thing for Qi Hongyi, and serving in North America has certainly accelerated Wei Rui's promotion, giving him the opportunity to be promoted to lieutenant colonel or even colonel before the age of thirty. But all this is not without a price, if from the perspective of the state, any opportunity given by the state must be exchanged for one's own pay and dedication. With Wei Rui's temperament of doing things well, Qi Hongyi knows that Wei Rui is focused on work. And this is the price that Wei Rui has made so far unmarried.

Thinking of this, Qi Hongyi could only shake his head. She has already made a decision, when Wei Rui comes back to visit her relatives this time, she will let Wei Rui get married quickly no matter what.

Wang Yuehe also has children, and when she saw Qi Hongyi's expression, she probably had a promise in her heart, and she smiled: "Sister Qi, I know a girl who graduated from college." People are handsome and have a good temperament. If you're interested, would you like to see it first? ”

No matter how much he wanted his son to get married quickly, Qi Hongyi did not lose his calmness. It's really a big deal, Wei Rui is serving in North America, unless he is really willing, otherwise Qi Hongyi Zhang Luo has to be careful about this matter. This is not without experience, there are parents who meet the girl they like according to the old tradition, but the son just doesn't agree. And the parents were in a hurry, they met and gave gifts, and everyone knew about it. In the end, things went bad, and the very good friends couldn't see each other again.

Things have come to this point just to prove that there is a major problem with the perception of things, Qi Hongyi is not afraid of offending people, but she doesn't want to use failure to belittle her identity at all. Qi Hongyi replied: "Let's talk about this later." ”

Wang Yuehe showed a slightly disappointed expression, but she quickly changed the topic, "Sister Qi, I heard that Levi seems to be a little unable to do it recently, I don't know if you have heard about it." ”

At the mention of Levi, Qi Hongyi's expression changed slightly. She actually wanted to use an unmoved expression to deal with anything related to Li Yifang, but there were too many involved here, and it was impossible to do it without a reaction. So Qi Hongyi asked: "Your Majesty never talks about government affairs when he goes home, and I don't know anything about what happened." ”

Wang Yuehe's eyes lit up, and she began to tell Qi Hongyi about what happened.
