Chapter 14 The Li Family's Six Rooms
Chapter 14 The Li Family's Six Rooms
Outside the city, Li Zhuang, the sixth grandfather of the Li family lives here.
Early in the morning, Zhen Niang made hot water as always, and then said to Zhao: "Mother, I told my grandfather yesterday that I would go to the sixth grandfather's house outside the city today. ”
Zhen Niang said, what she promised yesterday was to be trustworthy, but she estimated that Cheng Luo's family would not really let her light cigarettes for free, and the salary still had to be paid, which was also a source of income.
Zhen Niang has to tell her clearly.
"Okay, be careful on the road, remember to borrow a few plates from your sixth grandfather's house when you go to your sixth grandfather's house, there is not enough silkworms at home." Zhao advised.
"Hmm." Zhenniang nodded. Get out.
"Second sister wait for me." Xi Ge'er came out of the house, and there was still eye droppings in his eyes. Zhenniang pulled the sweat towel hanging by the door and threw it in his face, and the little guy wiped it on his face like a ghostly talisman, even if he had washed his face.
Then he pulled the corner of Zhen Niang's clothes and went out with Zhen Niang.
"You are not allowed to be trick-or-treated, and you are not allowed to make trouble, and you have to listen to me when you get to the sixth grandfather's house." Zhen Niang went out and even walked the sideways, it was really a bad conviction for this kid, in order to get something to eat, she had just crossed those days and had a few wronged meals.
"As long as the second sister doesn't secretly eat alone, I won't be weird." Xi Ge'er grimaced.
Although the child's heart is cunning, but there is also a true nature, the change after the crossing of Zhenniang, the little guy first felt that he felt that the second sister treated him a lot better now, not like he secretly ate alone before, and relied on him, but there was something delicious for him to keep, and now where will he really be weird.
"Stinky boy." Zhenniang amused his grimace and grinned.
The sisters and brothers said as they walked, and the dog's tail grass on the side of the road was torn up somehow, and they arrived at Li Zhuangliu's grandfather's house after a while.
"Hello Sixth Grandpa, Aunt Jinhua is good." When I entered the courtyard of the sixth grandfather's house, I saw the sixth grandfather lying on the ground, and the six-year-old Brother Run'er was riding on the back of the sixth grandfather, with a little face and high spirits.
The third daughter of the sixth grandfather, Aunt Jinhua sat on the side, thinking about the loan of farm tools at home, and the tenants who received what they received were all recorded one by one, and they had to check them one by one when they were used up.
"Zhenniang and Xige'er are here." Li Jinhua saw Zhenniang and Xi Ge'er, hurriedly got up, and beckoned the people in the family, and brought all the tea, fruits, and melon seeds.
Zhen Niang stepped forward to hug Brother Run'er down, and then helped the sixth grandfather to stand up and sit down on the stone table and chair on the side.
Brother Run'er pulled the melon and fruit snack plate that Brother Xi brought around, and the child's picture was a mouth.
"Go, go, find Sister-in-law Zhang to go to the house." Aunt Jinhua patted the two boys and drove them into the house.
"Are your grandparents in good health?" Old Man Li Liu asked while drinking tea.
"Grandma's body is still strong, it's grandpa, his lungs are not good, and he always coughs and can't breathe at night." Zhenniang replied respectfully.
The Li family is a big family, although on weekdays, their family lives on the side of the city gate, and the people who come and go are all small people in the market, and they don't pay much attention to the rules, but now the family of the elders, the attitude and the rules that should be there, Zhenniang is not negligent at all.
"There's no way, that illness has to be raised, the ink-making industry has been working for a long time, and it is inevitable that you will have to attract that disease, your seventh grandfather was the same back then, that is, your ninth uncle, and now I'm afraid it's not much better." Old Man Li Liu sighed.
"yes, I know." Zhen Niang nodded, thinking that when she saw Uncle Nine yesterday, her voice was also very hoarse when she heard him, and she coughed when she thought about it.
"Is there something wrong with me today?" Old Man Li Liu asked again.
"Well, I recently learned to smoke bituminous coal with my grandfather, and I accidentally realized a bituminous coal formula, which requires raw lacquer, thinking that there is a lacquer forest in the sixth grandfather's house, so I came to ask for something." Zhen Niang is still in a proper manner.
As for the bituminous coal formula, Zhen Niang didn't intend to hide it, and it didn't matter if she said it.
"Jinhua, tell Changgen, take a few Zhuang men and go to the lacquer forest to cut some lacquer." Old Man Li Liu said to Li Jinhua, but he didn't ask much about the formula.
Long root is the long work of the sixth grandfather's family, it is said that the six grandfathers are very heavy on weekdays, the things on the Zhuang household, most of the long roots are in charge, to Uncle Yu Jinhua, this person goes to a high place, the water flows to a low place, the Li family has such a foundation, since unwilling to face the loess with his back to the sky all his life, the year before last he went to Suzhou with the second daughter of the sixth grandfather Jin Xian's man, ran the business, mainly to make tea, the sixth grandfather's house except for a little field and the lacquer forest, the others are all tea gardens.
She had heard her mother complain to her father before, saying that her father was not as good as a wealthy person, in short, Uncle Jinhua's business in Suzhou seemed to be doing well.
Thinking of this, Zhen Niang sighed in her heart, in later generations, she had seen the family tree, Uncle Jinhua, who was originally the son of the Wang family, was called Wang Jincai, and after joining the Li family, he changed his name to Li Jincai, and he entered the Li family tree, and the Li family tree has a detailed record of this person.
The genealogy records that he did tea business in Suzhou, in fact, he lost money, and then returned to Li Zhuang, after the death of the sixth grandfather, Li Jincai was fully in charge of the family business of the Li family's six rooms, and then when the emperor was in danger, he entered the ink workshop, and Zuihou even accounted for most of the ink workshop when the emperor was defeated, that is, the nine uncles did not please him well.
As for Aunt Jinhua, there is only one death in the genealogy, and there is nothing else.
In addition, according to the genealogy, Li Jinfu also has a flat wife Su, this flat wife has a son and a daughter, according to the time, this flat wife should be Li Jincai in Suzhou business is secretly married, the Li family is not known to others, and when the Li family is defeated, this Su family and their children will enter the house, and the family business of the Li family's sixth room is inherited by the son of the Su family.
As for Brother Run, there is no record except for one name.
In later generations, when I chatted with my grandfather, whenever I talked about Li Jincai, my grandfather gritted his teeth with hatred.
Zhenniang pondered, now that her father is also in Suzhou, she can't bring a letter to find an era, let him stare at it.
If nothing else, the Li family has been cheated, and they must be clear and not confused.
Here, Zhenniang's thoughts, others have no way of knowing, and Changgen over there called a few Zhuang men to go up the mountain.
Zhenniang accompanied the sixth grandfather to chat with Aunt Jinhua, and said about borrowing the plate, a few plates, the sixth grandfather naturally didn't care, so he asked Aunt Jinhua to take it, and let Zhenniang take it home for a while.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going back to Suzhou tomorrow, are all the things I want to bring ready?" At this moment, a seventeen-year-old man came in and said to Li Jinhua.
"It's ready, I'll get it for you." Jinhua said, and hurried into the house.
"This is your uncle's younger brother Wang Erson, who went to Suzhou to help, I heard that Father Li is also going to Suzhou now, if you have anything or something, you can also let him take it." At this time, the sixth grandfather said to Zhen Niang.
"It's not enough, the letters and things that should be brought, my mother has already entrusted Uncle Huaide from the city gate." Zhen Niang replied with a smile, not to mention that her mother has indeed entrusted Fang Huaide of the Fang family, even if she doesn't trust it, Zhen Niang can't let the second son of Wang take it, mainly because she doesn't trust it.
"You two skin monkeys, it's the other way around, put the things back for me." At this moment, I heard Aunt Jinhua's angry scolding, and then I saw Brother Run'er and Brother Xi rushing out of the house like a gust of wind.
The two were chasing each other as they ran.
Brother Xi ran in front, Brother Run'er chased after him, and after a while, Brother Xi ran to Zhen Niang's side, Brother Run'er saw that he couldn't chase him, and he smashed a black whirring thing in his hand angrily.
Zhen Niang's eyes are sharp, and when she looks at the black whirring thing, it looks like a piece of ink, Li Mo is as strong as jade, this thing is really going to hit someone, it is almost like being hit by a stone, Zhen Niang bluffed, raised her hand, and grabbed the ink tightly in her hand.
