Chapter 338: Becoming a Family (5)
Li Xun walked out of the imperial mausoleum with a gloomy face, and today's conversation with Mu Gong, Li Xun's previous impression of Zhao Zhi was completely subverted, and now his thoughts are very chaotic.
Seeing Li Xun coming out of the imperial mausoleum, Ouyang Li hurriedly led the horse to greet him.
"Lord, go home?"
When he came here to see Mugong, Li Xun didn't want too many people to know, so he asked Jiang Daxiong to escort You Min back to Fengjing first, and he took Ouyang Li to the imperial mausoleum.
Li Xun shook his head: "Go to the manor." ”
Ouyang Li saw that Li Xun's expression was not good, so he didn't say anything, handed him the reins, and the two rode on their horses and walked towards the manor.
When we arrived at the manor, it was just after dusk, it was getting dark, and it was time to eat, and there were few people on the way.
There are two relatively luxurious houses in the manor, one large and one small, the small one is Yu Guang's residence, when Yu Guang got married, Li Xun gave it to him, and the big one is Li Mancang, Li Xun's father and son's courtyard here.
The people in the manor are very simple, and Li Mancang likes the atmosphere here, and every month, he will come here to live for a few days.
Li Xun came to the courtyard, the gate was not closed, the Zhuangzi lived with acquaintances, it was difficult for outsiders to come in, the security was very good, and the people in the manor were also very grateful and respectful to Li Mancang and his son.
The gatekeeper is a lame half-hundred-year-old man, everyone calls him Lao Han, or Old Man Han, this person is a fellow villager and acquaintance with Li Mancang, who once helped Li Mancang, and later heard that Li Mancang was developed, so he came over, and Li Mancang remembered his long grace, and gave him a bite to eat.
"Old man Han, let's eat."
Li Xun walked past him and said hello.
Lao Han was squatting by the door to eat, when he heard the voice and looked up, he saw that it was Li Xun, he hurriedly put down the bowl, stood up, and said respectfully: "Young master, you are here, I will go and inform the master." ”
"No need, you eat your meal, eat well, lead the horse to the stable, and feed some horse feed."
"Yes, young master, I know."
Li Xun explained, and then walked into the house.
When he arrived at the door of the living room, Li Xun looked inside, Li Mancang was sitting there eating, and beside him, there were two women, one big and one small, the older one was twenty-six or seven, and the younger one was only five or six years old.
"Lord, I'll go to the side hall for dinner."
Ouyang Li whispered, usually, Li Xun doesn't have any shelves, he usually pulls Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong to sit at the same table and eat together, without me sitting and you standing.
Li Xun nodded: "Go ahead, I'm afraid this woman is the old man's friend, and it's embarrassing for you to be there." ”
Ouyang Li coughed twice and left quickly.
Subsequently, Li Xun walked into the living room, Li Mancang felt that someone came in, looked up, saw that it was Li Xun, and said in surprise: "Why are you here at this time?" ”
Li Xun smiled and said: "This is my home, I can come whenever I want, old man, you won't forget the old man if you have a newcomer, right?" ”
At this time, the two women, one big and one young, also stood up, just standing with their backs to Li Xun, and they didn't dare to look back, lowered their heads, and said nothing.
Li Mancang glanced at them, then frowned at Li Xun and said, "You kid is also a big official, why are you still so open-mouthed?" ”
Li Xun came to Li Mancang and sat down, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, old man, don't be angry. ”
After that, Li Xun looked at the mother and daughter opposite, although Li Mancang didn't say the information of these two people, Li Xun had already inquired clearly.
This woman's name is Shen Chunniang, her family is poor, and her father is also a scholar, but she is just a showman, but in any case, based on this alone, Shen Chunniang's background can be regarded as innocent, a little stronger than those ordinary people.
Shen Chunniang got married at the age of eighteen, her husband's family is a businessman who runs a restaurant, compared to the common people, the conditions are still very good, but her father-in-law is a complete loser, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, losing all the family wealth, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were forced to death by a strong man, Shen Chunniang was desperate, so she had to take her daughter to join her relatives, and this relative was none other than Li Xun's good friend Yu Guang, which is why, after Li Xun came back, Yu Guang took the initiative to come to the door and tactfully mentioned the matter of Shen Chunniang and Li Mancang, After all, the current Li Xun is not the same as in the past, it can be regarded as completely developed, although the two are good friends, but their status is very different, Yu Guang didn't want Li Xun to misunderstand, it was he who pulled the strings and used Shen Chunniang to climb their Li family.
In this regard, Li Xunzhi didn't think much about it, he thought it was good, they were all acquaintances, and they knew the roots.
Shen Chunniang lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xun, holding her daughter with one hand and the corner of her clothes with the other, her face was restrained and uneasy, while her daughter was innocent, with a pair of big eyes, staring at Li Xun all the time, very curious.
Li Xun beckoned to the little girl, and the little daughter came over.
"What's your name?"
Li Xun hugged the little girl and asked softly.
"Uncle, my name is Wang Zhen, and my nickname is Zhen'er."
Li Xun touched her little head and chuckled, "Don't call me uncle, call me brother." ”
Hearing Li Xun ask Wang Zhen to call him brother, Li Mancang's face suddenly had a smile, and he was even more relieved in his heart, pulled Shen Chunniang to sit down, and said in a low voice: "There are no outsiders here, don't be restrained." ”
Shen Chunniang nodded, looking at Li Xun for the first time.
Li Mancang is an honest and kind-hearted person, although he is rich and noble, he is benevolent and righteous, and he is very approachable, as for his only son Li Xun, although Shen Chunniang has learned a lot from Yu Guang, but today, it is the first time they have met.
Yu Guang said that Li Xun is a person who is open-minded, attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, has a big temperament, and some like to joke, like his old man, he is very approachable, but when I saw it today, Li Xun gave Shen Chunniang the feeling that he was very mature and stable, with a resolute look, and a temperament like a mountain, and the whole person faintly revealed the breath of a superior person.
Li Xun teased Wang Zhen for a while, then looked at Shen Chunniang and said, "The old man has been hiding from me, and now that we meet, you are better than I imagined." ”
Shen Chunniang is white and tender, not to mention her appearance, but she is also good, and her appearance looks very gentle and demure.
Shen Chunniang said softly: "Your father often mentions you to me. ”
"The old man must have said bad things about me a lot."
Li Xun laughed and joked: "The old man is good, but he is a little lazy and has a lot of small problems, so you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Shen Chunniang was said to be laughing, covering her mouth and laughing, and Wang Zhen on the side also laughed.
"Stinky boy, is there a son who says that about his father?"
Li Mancang's tone was dissatisfied, but his face was full of smiles.
Li Xun smiled: "It's best to make it clear in advance, so that Shen Chunniang can be prepared, and it's too late to regret it now." ”
Shen Chunniang said softly: "Big Brother Mancang is very good. ”
Li Xun nodded and said no more, at this time, the next person brought the dishes and chopsticks, and everyone began to eat.
After eating a good meal, Shen Chunniang led Wang Zhen away.
"Dog, Chun Niang, this person, very good."
Li Xun said silently: "I don't care if she is good or not, just be good to you, if I treat you sincerely, I will call her an aunt and give her respect." ”
Li Mancang nodded, patted his son's shoulder, and said no more.
