Chapter Forty-Eight: The Will (Two More Requests for Powder)

Lee's Ink Workshop.

All the principals in the workshop gathered in the main hall, and the atmosphere was very depressing, and what they talked about was nothing more than the matter of Tian Jiazheng's pine wood.

"In short, no matter what, this pine wood must not be handed over. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to be a descendant of the Li family. Li Jingdong sat in a wheelchair, looked around at the people in the room, and said coldly.

He was resolute in this regard.

"Uncle Jingdong, if you don't hand over the pine wood, what if the government comes to seal the workshop?" Steward Shao met Li Jingdong's gaze and said, there is one more thing he didn't say, when he arrived at the closure of the workshop, the Li family couldn't keep this batch of pine wood.

"Then fill it with human lives, my descendants of the Li family died in order to make ink, and did they shed less blood? If someone is not enough, then what if my Li Jingdong's life is filled in again? Li Jingdong gritted his teeth and patted the table and said coldly.

"Uncle Jingdong, why are you suffering? Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. "Steward Shao said painstakingly.

"No, that's my attitude. If Steward Shao doesn't agree, then I'll transport this batch of pine timber away, and the Tian family will find me if they want to find it, and I'll go to prison by myself. Since then, the ninth room of my Li family has nothing to do with Mofang. Li Jingdong said toughly. did not hesitate to put on a broken attitude.

For Shao Steward, he has always been unsold.

On the side, several masters looked at each other, and they all shook their heads and sighed.

Over the years, Steward Shao has been at odds with Li Jingdong, and everyone has seen it, but now Uncle Jingdong's words are equivalent to starting anew.

At this time, Master Fu Qin, the master of the ink workshop, coughed, turned his face and said to Steward Shao, "Steward, Uncle Jingdong." I think this matter should be decided by the old lady. ”

Steward Shao looked at Li Jingdong, but Li Jingle still had a cold face. Steward Shao Zuihou had to nod: "In that case, everyone will go with me to ask to see the old lady." ”

Although Mrs. Li woke up some time ago. But her body has always been good and bad, and to be honest, she really shouldn't be bothered unless she has to.

But the current situation is that Li's Ink Fang has really reached the autumn of life and death. I have to ask the old lady to decide.

So, everyone got up, walked out of the ink workshop, walked to the door of Li's mansion, and asked to see Mrs. Li.

In a few moments, the porter led the people into the house. They were greeted by Chen, the eldest grandmother of the Li Mansion.

Chen's expression was very bad, his eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was indescribably haggard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the old lady can't make any decisions, yesterday the Tian family came to collect pine wood, I don't know which cheap girl to call to tell the old lady to know, the old lady was excited, and she fell ill again, and now the world doesn't know. The doctor said. The old lady had a stroke, and she was seriously ill before, so she couldn't be smelted for a while, but she was cured. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve anymore. Chen said with red eyes.

"How so?" Chen's words made everyone scream, and they said it was good a few days ago. I didn't expect it to suddenly deteriorate to this extent.

"I wonder if we can visit the old lady?" Master Qin said.

"Come with me, everybody." Chen shouted at the crowd, and then led the people into the main house.

The smell of medicine in the house was strong. The old lady was lying on the bed, and the corners of her mouth were crooked. The eyes are also closed. That situation is very bad at first glance.

"When will the old lady wake up?" Li Jingdong asked the doctor on the side.

"It's hard to say, it may be ten days later, it may be months, or even until death." The doctor said with a sad face.

Seeing this, several masters and stewards of the ink shop all sighed and shook their heads.

"Let's go out, and don't disturb the old lady anymore." Chen choked up.

"Yes, grandma." A few people responded, and they rushed out.

"Grandma, don't ask a question, did the old lady leave anything before? Who will be in charge of the Ink House in the future? At this time, Master Qin asked, he was a master invited from outside, and his status was a little detached, so it was most appropriate for him to ask.

As soon as Master Qin's words were finished, Steward Shao and Li Jingdong couldn't help but become a little nervous. This is also their primary concern.

Before the onset of the disease, the old lady didn't leave any words, but a few days ago, when the old lady just woke up, she made a will, which contained arrangements for the ink workshop. Although the old lady's situation is fateful now, she really can't take care of things, so let's do things according to the old lady's will. Chen said.

"Since this is the case, please also ask the grandmother to announce the old lady's words." Master Qin and the others immediately said that the old lady was not dead, and the name of the will was not good, so they only said the words of the old lady.

"By the way, Steward Shao, please go and invite the eighth master and the virgin girl to come over, some of the old lady's letters are about them." Chen said to Shao again.

"Yes, grandma, I'll go." Steward Shao answered, and hurried out.

City Gate Cave.

It was a sunny day outside, but the gate hole was still a little dim, and a ray of sunlight came in through the cracks. A ray of light is formed in the small courtyard, and within the light, a thin layer of gray flies in the light, like an old photograph.

Zhen Niang squatted on the side and fanned the small stove, and the medicine was boiling on the stove.

Yesterday I said that I would go to Matsuba the next day to see if the rotten pine roots formed pine resin oil, but in the early morning, Zhenniang and Grandpa did not make the trip.

Because every spring, the old shopkeeper's illness will get worse, and last night, the old shopkeeper Li coughed all night, and when he woke up in the morning, his face was very bad, and he couldn't go out.

Zhen Niang went to the medicine hall early in the morning to grab the medicine, and at this time she was boiling medicine for her grandfather.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Zhenniang, you boil your own medicine and give it to your grandfather to drink, and I'll open the door." Wu said to Zhen Niang.

Zhao went down to the river to wash clothes, Du went to the coal stove workshop, and Xi Ge'er took Xiaoxiaoguan to know where he went. There are only three people in the family: Wu, Li Lao Shopkeeper and Zhen Niang.

"Hmm." Zhen Niang answered, took a piece of cloth wrapped in the handle of the medicine jar, poured the medicine into the bowl, and then carried the medicine into her grandfather's room.

Wu went to open the door with his little feet, but he didn't expect to open the door and see that it was actually the Shao Grand Steward of Li's Ink Workshop.

The so-called enemies see each other, and they are red-eyed.

Of course, this statement is an exaggeration. But the Wu family is unhappy with Steward Shao.

Back then, when the old shopkeeper Li was forced to quit the ink industry. There is the credit of this Shao steward jumping up and down.

Therefore, the Wu family would not give Shao Guan a good look.

"Greetings to Mrs. Eight." The steward of Shao saluted.

No matter what the Li family's eight rooms are now. Those are all Lee's eight rooms. And although Steward Shao is in charge of the ink workshop on behalf of the Seventh Lady, he is still the housekeeper of the Seventh Room, in the final analysis, he is a subordinate, and this An must be invited.

"If you can't afford to be the steward of Shao, please be safe, I don't know what advice the steward Shao has to come over early this morning?" The Wu family has some yin and yang and yang ways.

The old shopkeeper Li finished drinking the medicine at this time, and when he heard the sound of talking in the courtyard outside, he asked Zhenniang to help him out. I just listened to Wu's words in my ears.

Zhenniang listened to her grandmother's words and guessed that what happened back then must have been ugly. Otherwise, according to his grandmother's temper, he would never speak like this.

In addition to being a little incompatible with his own mother, Wu has always been gentle to others, and at most occasionally complains, he will never be so ugly.

However, Zhen Niang also estimated that Steward Shao came over this morning, which was likely to be related to the Tian family's requisition of pine wood yesterday.

Really. Steward Shao arched his hand and said, "Something happened in Mofang, I want to invite the eighth master to go." ”

"Heh, now that you know that you have come to find the eighth master? What was the eighth master in your eyes back then? I'm telling you, it's late. In the matter of the ink workshop, the eighth master did not participate. Wu said angrily.

Before the Songwen incident, my wife went to the ink workshop. Although Wu was not very happy in his heart, he knew this kind of thing. I can't stand by myself, so it will rain in the coming day, and my mother will get married. And he went.

But this time, although Steward Shao didn't say anything, but yesterday the Tian family went to the Li family to requisition pine wood, who in this county didn't know, but the trouble was one after another.

This pine wood matter involves the late Ninth Uncle, is it so easy to get involved? If you can't get into trouble, since the eighth room of the Li family has already withdrawn from the ink workshop, why bother to find it, so he blocked it back.

"Okay, old woman, don't invite Shao to sit in the housekeeper's room, what's the point of blocking people by the door." At this time, the old shopkeeper Li persuaded him to sit down in the housekeeper Shao, and Zhen Niang served tea on the side.

Both sides sat down.

"Steward Shao, it's really inconvenient for me to participate in the affairs of the ink workshop, so I won't go, but you can tell the old lady, I have a little clue about the matter of raw materials, and I will go to the seventh lady to talk about it after I verify it in the past two days, and some things will be delayed for a few days for the time being." Old Shopkeeper Li coughed and said.

The reason why he said this was because he thought about what Zhenniang said yesterday, if there was pine resin oil in those rotten pine roots over the years, then there would be no shortage of raw materials, and the Li family would be able to handle things with ease.

"Alas, you don't know the old shopkeeper, if the old lady is so haode, I won't bother the old shopkeeper, let's be honest with you, the old lady is now unknown." Steward Shao said with a sad face.

Zhen Niang was surprised when she heard it on the side, and she didn't care about the rules, so she hurriedly said, "How come?" Didn't you say that the Seventh Grandmother had woken up and was all right? ”

"It's not just the matter of this pine timber requisition that caused trouble. The old lady was sick, where could she stand this? As soon as I was excited, I became ill. The doctor said that even if the old lady can wake up again, she can't be a director. We didn't dare to announce this to the outside world, for fear of causing turmoil in the ink shop. It's just that now the requisition of pine wood can't wait. Fortunately, I heard that the old lady had left a suicide note before, and for today's plan, the ink shop cannot be left without an owner for a day, so that I can only announce the will first, so I asked the old shopkeeper and Zhen Niang to come over. Steward Shao said anxiously.

"Hmph, one or two are like this, they kicked us aside when they thought we were in the way, and now that we can use it, they will invite people again, really." Wu was nagging on the side.

"If that's the case, then I'll go with you, but what is this matter, why do you want to invite her to go?" Old Shopkeeper Li asked.

"I don't know this, it was ordered by the grandmother. But the old lady has taken a fancy to the virgin girl lately, and I think she has something to say for her. Shao said.

"That's right." Old Li shopkeeper nodded, since last year, the seventh sister-in-law has been very concerned about Zhenniang, and it is reasonable to leave something for her.

So, Zhen Niang helped the old shopkeeper Li and followed Shao Shi out of the door.
