Chapter 561: Litmus Test
Since Mrs. Xue has put the problem out, Li Zhongyi can only see the trick and say with a smiling face: "Since the mother has a life, how dare the child be disrespectful?" After I went back, I discussed it with the bottle. ”
Mrs. Xue is the old lady of the old Li family, whose status is second only to Li Dahe, not to mention Li Zhongyi's group of concubines, even if he marries Princess Chai and enters the house, the daughter-in-law here has to look at her mother-in-law's face to act, otherwise, the relationship between husband and wife will definitely be bad!
Of course, with Li Zhongyi's means of picking up a girl, concentrating on dealing with Princess Chai, how could Princess Chai escape from the palm of his hand?
Mrs. Xue is an old lady who is extremely nostalgic, and I think that at the beginning, when she and Li Zhongyi were in a bad situation, the only reliable and credible person was Bottle (Tang Shuyi).
After Li Zhongyi turned over, he accepted Tang Shuyi as a concubine and arranged for her to be in charge of the affairs of the family house, and Mrs. Xue actually contributed in private.
Li Zhongyi is also a person who misses the old love very much, in his most difficult time, the bottle was by Mrs. Xue's side, carrying the softness, wanting to escape with him, this strong love, Li Zhongyi must be unforgettable for a lifetime.
It is precisely because of Li Zhongyi's strong support that Tang Shuyi has a very high status in the Li family's back house.
Don't talk about anything else, Tang Shuyi went to the door of Zhao Lao's house, and the courtesy given by Mrs. Du far exceeded the division that the concubine room should have, and it was close to the treatment of the main room.
Of course, the special preferential treatment given to Tang Shuyi by Zhao Laoer's family has an inseparable relationship with Li Zhongyi, the head of the family, who is a super powerful faction.
Many people say on their lips that it is difficult to buy true feelings, in fact. In most cases, this is a hypocrisy.
in the circle of friends. Between the mayor's Yanai (the immediate boss who decides his fate) and his old classmates who are ordinary technicians. Which is more important, don't ask for self-explanatory!
This is because, at a critical moment, the mayor's ya-nai (the top boss) only needs one sentence to help you solve the problem of money, or the future problem that only power can solve.
It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and there is nothing wrong with it!
It's still the same old saying. If you want to be respected by others, you must have the ability to solve problems that others do not have.
This kind of ability, or money, or privilege, otherwise, why should people offer you like an ancestor?
Women, no matter how much they like her, they can't be spoiled too marginally!
Li Zhongyi knew it. Mrs. Xue's true thoughts, but she deliberately pretended to be confused, and said with a smile: "How dare the child disobey the mother's orders." Then bring Caijiao, peony and bamboo girl, right? ”
Mrs. Xue was speechless for a while, rolled her eyes fiercely, and glared at Li Zhongyi. Knowing the son Mo Ruomu. How could Mrs. Xue not understand that her only son was pretending to be infatuated?
Li Zhongyi continued to pretend not to see Mrs. Xue's eyes. smiled: "The bottle lady has been with me for many years, and she has been kind to my family." and gave birth to the eldest son of my Li family, in the eyes of a child, can I be raised as a flat wife? ”
The promotion of a concubine as a flat wife can be said to be unique in the entire Great Zhou Empire, but Li Zhongyi took the initiative to mention it in front of his parents.
This time, Mrs. Xue was satisfied, but Li Dahe was angry!
Li Dahe frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Did you take the wrong medicine?" Don't say that it is the home of our dignified prime minister, even if it is the home of the ordinary people, they have not done this, it is simply ridiculous! ”
Mrs. Xue was not happy, and immediately retorted: "The rules are all set by people, the first emperor and Empress Yuan, and she was married before." ”
Li Dahe was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "Women, what do you know?" After the first emperor, how dare you chew the root of your tongue? is extremely presumptuous, and the old man is angry......"
This is the first time for Li Zhongyi, and he feels quite fresh when he sees his parents arguing in public.
In the Li family's mansion, the servants or maidservants who can serve by the side of the serious master are all time-tested henchmen.
Moreover, Li Zhongyi has always been a military rule of law, strict rules, clear rewards and punishments, and treats people well, but he is not worried that the noisy content of his parents will spread.
Li Dahe's reaction to Li Dahe was not at all expected, and the so-called "etiquette and religion" that the scholar class paid the most attention to has always been the code of conduct that Li Dahe followed.
However, Mrs. Xue, who has never blushed with her husband, would openly argue with Li Dahe for the status of Tang Shuyi, which is indeed a bit of a deviation from Li Zhongyi's previous inherent impression.
"Bottle's family is a good housekeeper, and she is the biological mother of our grandchildren, why can't she be a flat wife?" Mrs. Xue did not back down in the slightest, and questioned Li Dahe directly.
Li Dahe had never seen Mrs. Xue like this, so he couldn't help but be on the spot, unable to say a word for a long time.
After all, he is his own father, and Li Zhongyi didn't want to embarrass Li Dahe too much, so he said with a smile: "Aya, under the current situation, it is impossible for the child, a prime minister who is not a scholar, to gain a good reputation. ”
Li Zhongyi's hint, and after Li Dahe pondered carefully, he found that there was still some truth.
Li Dahe is in Da Zhou, although he has a small official position, it is just a false title. After all, the father and son are officials in the same dynasty, and the son is still the prime minister of the dynasty, which will inevitably arouse people's private criticism.
Therefore, after Li Dahe received the false position of the Huimin Bureau, he was still busy in his own medical clinic every day and never reported on his post.
Li Dahe, who is in the hospital, because the identity of the patient is more complicated, there are people from all walks of life, and the source is not closed.
Li Zhongyi's situation in the imperial court, Li Dahe does not say that his heart is like a mirror, and he has a general understanding.
The scholar class of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to be precise, the civilian-bureaucratic clique, never regarded Li Zhongyi as their own.
Moreover, because Li Zhongyi rose too quickly and was a miscellaneous doctor who picked peaches halfway, those scholars who suffered from pink eye, whether they were officials or those who were not qualified to be officials, naturally could not have anything good to say about him.
Li Da has always regarded himself as a scholar on weekdays, and strictly demands himself according to the standards of scholars.
In fact, Li Da and himself also know very well that except for patients who ask for him, there are few ordinary scholars who are willing to associate with him.
"It's just, let the concubine be promoted to a flat wife, Dalang, aren't you afraid of others poking your backbone?" Li Dahe's tone softened slightly, but his attitude remained resolute.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Aye, let's close the door and live a good life in our own house, why do we care what others think?" ”
"This ......" Li Dahe couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard his son say this, Li Zhongyi was right, with his age and qualifications, he suddenly became in the phase, no matter what he did, in the eyes of outsiders, it must be wrong.
"Aye, there are a lot of things to do for the child, why don't you use this as a litmus test?" Li Zhongyi has always grasped Li Dahe's sensitive points very accurately, and he can always say that Li Dahe's heart is on the line. (To be continued.) )
