When the Li family left the business, although they still had a smile on their faces, they were in a heavy mood. Especially Li Qingqing, as soon as she entered the carriage, the corners of her upturned mouth instantly straightened, her eyes were cold, and her face was pale.

Li Qingshu obediently leaned on Cai Yilan's side, his little hand tightly tugged on Cai Yilan's sleeve, hanging his head and not speaking. He may not understand the profound subtext, but he knows very well that his sister and mother are not happy in the business, and the attitude of the merchants is not enthusiastic about them.

He didn't know why Li Qingqing was so angry, but Li Qingqing's face frightened him and made him afraid to approach.

Li Shuhua glanced at Li Qingqing, who was annoyed and angry, thinking about her performance in the business, and couldn't stop regretting it in her heart - she shouldn't have taken Li Qingqing to the business!

Li Yan, who was riding on the horse, was also in a bad mood, but he was still smiling when he was outside, otherwise he would be seen by someone who cares, and he wouldn't know what he was going to be rumored!

When Li Yan thought of what he said to Shang Shigong, he felt that his brain hurt. He has always known that although Shang Shigong is handsome and gentle, he is very difficult to deal with. He spoke very gently, as if he had no temper, but in fact, he said everything so well that no one could find fault with him.

If he didn't have such ability, how could he climb up step by step unharmed in the officialdom? Now that Shang Shigong has been immersed in officialdom for many years, he talks in a set way, Li Yan wanted to make a request several times, but he was diverted from the topic by Shang Shigong.

Only in the end, Shang Shigong vaguely mentioned that the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the law is strict. As long as the Li family does business honestly, don't touch the moldy heads of some people above and make people unhappy. There's nothing to worry about.

If it weren't for this sentence, Li Yan would not even be able to maintain the smile on his face.

Winter is about to begin. It's getting colder. The carriage was covered with leather, and it was quite warm, but whether it was Li Qingqing or Cai Yilan, their faces were not good.

Li Qingqing was already angry, and Cai Yilan's eyes just now were more like pouring a pot of oil on the fire, and Li Qingqing broke out directly. She complained to Cai Yilan with red eyes: "Mother, the businessman is too much! We came to visit with good intentions, but they deliberately gave us no face, they simply didn't take us seriously! ”

Cai Yilan looked at her. Li Qingqing's eyes were so strange that she opened her mouth to say something more, but she heard Cai Yilan sneer: "Qing'er, what do you think is the identity of our family?" What is the identity of the merchant? Why do they take us seriously? She lowered her voice when she said this, "Don't forget, the merchant is now, but the royal family!" ”

Li Qingqing's face changed, a trace of strong jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say, "Imperial family? What kind of royalty are they? It's just a rejected prince! ”

Ellen Tsai was frightened by her rebellious words. Hurriedly reprimanded in a low voice: "Be cautious! Qing'er, you are getting more and more unpresentable, the sky is noble, where can you arrange it? If this is heard. Our family is a great sin! ”

Li Qingqing also knew that what she said just now should not be, but as long as she thought of Shang Jinxiu, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, which had already been torn out of shape, hung her head and said disapprecitantly, "It's in the carriage anyway." Who can hear but us? ”

With that, her gaze swept to the nurse and maid in the corner. The gaze scraped from the two of them inch by inch like a knife, and seeing that the two of them trembled at the bottom of their hearts, she said meaningfully: "Even the person who heard it, is it still the courage to say it?" ”

Cai Yilan couldn't stop sighing, and couldn't help but want to ask her why she always couldn't get along with Shang Jinxiu, but when she saw the nurse and maid in the carriage, she swallowed the words back to her mouth.

Those words are not suitable to be said in front of these people.

Finally arrived at home, Li Yan went directly into the inner house, and he had to ask Cai Yilan how things were going.

When he entered, he saw that Li Qingqing and Cai Yilan's faces were not very good, and even the youngest son was wilted and had no energy. Li Yan let out a "chuckle" in his heart, and instantly had a bad premonition.

He glanced at Li Qingqing sharply, but asked Cai Yilan: "Madam, what's going on?" ”

Cai Yilan didn't rush to answer, but sent all the people in the house out first. At this time, Li Qingqing couldn't help but stand up and said, "Dad, mother, my daughter is a little tired, so I'll go back to the room first." ”

Before she could finish speaking, Li Yan had already glared at her. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his face looked a little fierce, and his voice was full of disappointment: "Sit down honestly for me!" ”

Li Qingqing's body trembled, and his face changed slightly, but he was a little jealous of Li Yan, so he didn't dare to leave like this, so he had to sit down nervously with a handkerchief. Li Qingshu was also frightened, the corners of his mouth pulled down, looking at it extremely pitiful, his voice was full of pleading: "Dad, don't be angry, okay?" ”

Li Yan beckoned him to his side, pinched his still thin little shoulder, held his face and looked at it carefully, wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shu'er is obedient, you go back to the house first." ”

Li Qingshu looked at Li Qingqing worriedly, and asked cautiously, "Then can my sister send me back to the house?" ”

Li Yan glanced at the nervous Li Qingqing, sighed and waved his hand: "That's it, you two go back to the house first." Qing'er, remember to send your brother back first, it's cold outside, don't let the wind blow him. ”

Li Qingqing responded very obediently, walked over and bent down to take Li Qingshu into his arms, said hello again, and turned around and left quickly.

After they went out, Li Yan pinched and wrinkled his heartlessness, and asked tiredly: "There is no one else now, you tell me, what is going on?" ”

Cai Yilan looked at his tired appearance, her face was a little unbearable, she came over to help Li Yan gently press her temples, and said softly: "You also know that Qing'er has become a little eccentric since she returned home that year, and she always remembered that the second miss refused to let her Bailan be a teacher. ”

At the end, she sighed helplessly.

Li Yan was so angry that his face turned blue, and he grabbed the tea cup in his hand and smashed it on the ground: "Confused!" Qing'er is not sensible, are you also sensible? She can't speak, why don't you stop her? ”

Cai Yilan's eyes were red with grievance, and her voice choked: "Why didn't I stop it, but I want to stop it, I warned her before I went and asked her not to talk nonsense, but who knew that she wouldn't listen at all!" Don't you know Madame's temper, when did she have sand in her eyes? The third lady's ability is also getting more and more powerful, where can I control it? ”

Li Yan listened to her choked voice, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, he pulled Cai Yilan to sit down beside him, wiped her tears with his own hands, and said softly when he was done: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't blame you, it's just Qing'er...... Qing'er, she's so messing around! If it weren't for the kindness of Mrs., our family would still be slaves, where would we be able to live a good life now? Qing'er, why can't she think about it, and want to compare with the second lady? ”

Cai Yilan leaned on his arms and couldn't help asking, "Brother Yan, do you think we shouldn't come to the capital?" If it is in Qingzhou City, where can there be such a thing? I always feel that Qing'er's heart is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Li Yan wiped his face and said helplessly: "What are we coming to the capital for?" Isn't it still to earn a good future for the two children? It's just that Qing'er is like this, and she can't ask her wife for help in her marriage. ”

Cai Yilan nodded, but her heart was sour, which was very unpleasant. Who doesn't want their children to have a good life? Li Qingshu is still young, he is a kid, and he is smart, so he is not afraid of being unproductive in the future. Li Qingqing has reached the age of saying that they are married, and they originally thought that if they could ask Li Shuhua for help, they would not worry about finding a good family, but now Li Qingqing has offended Li Shuhua and Shang Jinyun, and this family matter can naturally only rely on themselves.

But at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, with their current status, what good family can they climb? Who can look down on them?

The more Cai Yilan thought about it, the more sad she became, if the girl's family did not have a good home, she would have to suffer for a lifetime in the future!

The husband and wife were worried about this matter, but Li Qingqing didn't know about their concerns. She has always thought highly of herself, and never thought that she would have no good relatives.

In Li Qingqing's eyes, Shang Jinxiu can marry into the royal family, even if her family background is a little worse, but with her character and appearance, she should be able to marry into a good family. She didn't know that such a mind seemed to others to be wishful thinking!

Back in his room, Li Qingqing's face dropped again. She was very dissatisfied with Shang Jinyun's attitude, this time she went to the business, she originally thought that it would be easy to win Shang Jinyun, but she didn't know that after many years of not seeing, Shang Jinyun has become as annoying as Shang Jinxiu!

The set of fat powder she selected from 'Guose Tianxiang' is not low, but Shang Jinyun didn't even bother to look at it, and even rewarded it directly to the maid in front of her, obviously slapping her in the face!

Thinking of the valuable furnishings of the merchants, Li Qingqing couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. Her family's business is thriving, and she doesn't dare to be so extravagant, where does the merchant get so many good things? It seems that the old man of the merchant is not very clean! What a two-sleeved breeze is just a nonsense to fool those ignorant people!

The merchant is completely offended, and it is impossible to borrow power, and the only thing she can rely on now is the young lady of the He family! This Miss He is knowledgeable and polite, and she is gentle, so she should be able to help!

Li Qingqing looked at the fragrant fat powder in the makeup, and felt a little more determined. She took out a piece of flower paper, dipped it in ink, and carefully began to write. (To be continued......)
