Chapter Ninety-Six: Cousins and Sisters
Inside the room, after Tang Xiu's voice fell, he fell into a short silence.
After a long while, Li Yushi slowly spoke: "I see, I remember hearing my husband say that I saw you in the first month of this year, and I received a report about what Ma Gui's family did, but because there is no evidence, this matter is not resolved." ”
"However, I still sent someone to check, but I didn't find anything at all. That Ma Gui seemed to know that her husband was going to investigate this matter. During the period of our investigation, it has always been in order, and there is no rumor that this horse is expensive at all. ”
"According to what Tang Xiu said now, it should be that there is this Ma Gui person in the county office, otherwise how would he know that the husband wants to investigate him."
But you are also adventurous enough, and you don't know that there is a saying that "cutting off someone's money is like killing someone's parents." "You have eight thousand taels for him, and they must sell part of their property to get it out. If this Ma Gui reacts excessively, it will be up to you to deal with it when the time comes. ”
When Li Yushi said this, she glanced at Li Yan with slight anger.
Seeing this, Li Yan explained with a slight smile: "Don't worry, this aunt, what I have in my heart is a number, and that Ma Gui doesn't dare to react excessively, after all, he is only the county commander of the county, and he is not the Fu Si who holds the military power." And as long as he really dares to do this, then his crime will be great, and it will become a capital crime if it is not a capital crime. So as long as you are a smart person, you know what to do, and no one is willing to die, let alone just a county order. ”
"You kid." Li Yushi heard Li Yan explain other people's psychology so thoroughly, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to look at Li Yan angrily and said: "Don't be like this next time, before you don't have enough strength, all adventures will cause danger to yourself, and if you have enough strength, the so-called adventures will be within the scope of your control, even if there are any changes, you can easily solve them, so that you won't cause danger to the people around you." You know? ”
Li Yushi said this, with a careful face of advice and teaching.
Li Yan heard Li Yushi's words, and saw his concerned expression, nodded obediently, and said, "Well, what Uncle Niang said is, I remember." ”
After Li Yushi saw Li Yan nodded, her face became serious and said: "It's also a shame that Ma Gui is the parent official of a county, so he really disgraced the face of our Xihe County, and actually used his authority to suppress such a bad thing." He even indulged his son, did evil everywhere, and brought disaster to the woman of the good family. As a parent official of a county, it is really an unforgivable crime to not strictly guard his son and cover up his behavior. ”
When Li Yushi said this, her face was very unpleasant. After all, she is also a daughter, and those women who were ruined by Ma Yifei are also sisters who belong to her, and there is a feeling of sympathy between women. And in addition to this, she is also Tang Liwen, the wife of Tang County Shou, as the wife of the county guard, she should share some slight things for her husband. For example, to appease, to perceive the words, etc., these seem to be insignificant, but in fact there are very important things.
Therefore, he also has an obligation and responsibility to do many things.
"Alright. Mother. When Tang Shishi heard Li Yushi's words, and saw Li Yushi's angry look, she smiled and comforted: "This Ma Gui can't do the county order for a few days, and when Daddy comes back, we will tell him about this matter, and we also want the evidence that Ma Yifei sued to hand over to Daddy, and then ask Daddy to make a decision." ”
When Li Yushi heard Tang Shishi's words, she was only helpless. Because this is also something that cannot be helped. I had no choice but to look at Wen Jing and said comfortingly: "Child, it's really hard for you, don't worry, this matter will definitely give you justice, and I will not let these people go unpunished."
"Thank you, Madame, for your concern." When Wen Jing heard Li Yushi's words, Ying Ying bowed and said, "Brother Yan has already punished them for this matter, so I don't have anything now." ”
Li Yushi heard Wen Jing's magnanimous words, nodded slightly and said, "Child, there is no need to be so restrained here, just treat it as your own home." ”
When Wen Jing heard this, she just nodded and didn't say anything. Li Yushi didn't say anything anymore when she saw this.
And when everyone was talking about what Ma Gui and Ma Yifei did, the dishes fried in the kitchen had already been served on the table.
Six new dishes and two soups were added, adding the original dishes, for a total of eight.
When everyone saw that the food had been served, they all came out of the elder, and each sat down at the table, picked up the bowl and began to devour it. It's as if they haven't eaten for a few days, and no one pays attention to their appearance.
Li Yushi saw everyone gobbling up, holding his forehead and shaking his head, because he didn't know what to say.
In fact, it's no wonder that they can't say that they haven't eaten anything since they were full at noon yesterday. When I left from the village once dry food, but so many people shared, so there is not much, how long can I manage ? And after a night of traveling, I didn't eat anything all morning, and my stomach was already empty.
So the table of meals, not for too long, was swept away. Everyone was also full of food and drink, and they didn't want to move much when they sat in their chairs.
When Li Yushi saw them like this, she didn't know what to say, she glared at everyone angrily, and said, "Since you are all full, let's go and change your clothes, you see what you all look like." ”
......After everyone finished eating, they originally wanted to take a break, but they didn't expect that they had just eaten it, and they were disgusted.
So they had to leave Li Yushi and go back to their rooms to wash up.
However, when Tang Shishi was also about to go back to the room, she was stopped by Li Yushi.
"Shishi, wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
When Tang Shishi was about to walk out of the room, she heard her mother's words, so she stopped and nodded. Tang Shishi knew what Li Yushi was going to ask, so she closed the door and came to sit down beside Li Yushi.
Seeing this, Li Yushi nodded and asked directly, "Did you ask about that matter?" ”
Tang Shishi nodded: "Asked." ”
Li Yushi continued to ask: "What is the result?" ”
"Just as my father and mother had guessed." Tang Shishi replied: "Old man Zhang is not Li Yan's own grandfather, and besides, Xiao Yanzi's biological parents have passed away. ”
Tang Shishi said this, and her mood was a little indescribable, and she didn't know how to do it.
Li Yushi was stunned for a moment when she heard Tang Shishi's words. Although when Tang Shishi asked about this matter, she guessed that Li Yan's parents might not be alive, but after confirming it in person, it was another matter.
After a while, Li Yushi asked, "Then did you ask about Li Yan's parents' surnames?" Where are you from? ”
"That's a question." Tang Shishi nodded and said: "Old man Zhang said that Li Yan's father is called Li Hao, and his mother is called Ning Qian, a native of Longxi. ”
"What?" As soon as Tang Shishi's words fell, Li Yushi suddenly looked at Tang Shishi with an unbelievable expression, thinking that she had heard it wrong, so she asked loudly: "What did you just say Li Yan's parents called?" ”
"Li Hao, Li Qian." Tang Shishi saw her mother's unbelievable expression, so she said, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Yushi heard Tang Shishi say it again, and finally confirmed that she didn't hear it wrong. Suddenly, there was a storm in my heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Li Yushi took a deep breath after confirming that it was Li Haoning Qian, and then muttered after calming down her heart: "No wonder it looks like someone, I didn't expect it to be the heir of Li Hao's cousin, and he is still talking in our area, it's really a trick." We searched for so long and couldn't find it, but we stayed in our house for so long to find out. ”
Tang Shishi saw her mother talking to herself saying something she didn't understand, so she looked at Li Yushi and asked, "Mother, what were you talking about just now?" Why can't I understand anything? ”
"Oh, nothing." Li Yushi was interrupted by Tang Shishi talking to herself, shook her head and said: "By the way, Shishi, what is the name of Li Yan's parents, don't say this thing, because this is a very important thing, if you say it and let some ill-intentioned people know, Li Yan will be in danger, you know?" Li Yushi said this, so he said admonishmently.
Tang Shishi heard her mother say that if she told Li Yan's parents who they were, Li Yan would be in danger, she was shocked for a long time, although she didn't understand why, but she still nodded directly and obediently.
Li Yushi saw that her daughter agreed, and said slowly: "I can only tell you one thing, Li Yan's identity is not an ordinary person, and his parents are not ordinary people, if Li Yan really returns to his family and recognizes his ancestors, then his identity will change dramatically." ”
"By the way, does Li Yan know about his parents?" Li Yushi suddenly thought of something and asked.
"I should know." Tang Shishi heard her mother say that as long as Li Yan recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, his identity would change drastically, and he was very curious about what Li Yan's identity was, but when he heard Li Yushi asking, he said a little uncertainly: "I remember that after we had lunch that day, Xiao Yanzi and his grandfather were alone for a long time, and I think I should have told him." ”
"Got it?" When Li Yushi heard Tang Shishi's words, he nodded and said, "It's okay to know, otherwise when he knows that his parents are gone, and another news, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand it." ”
Tang Shishi was very curious when she heard the unexplained words of her mother, and from these words, it could be heard that they had discovered Li Yan's true identity, and it seemed that they still knew Li Yan's parents.
Although Tang Shishi wanted to ask, but when he saw that Li Yushi didn't say anything, he was afraid that he wouldn't say it if he asked, so he suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask.
After Li Yushi finished asking, she rushed to the scene directly: "Okay, you can also go down and wash up and change your clothes." There is also a room for Wen Jing's sister and brother and Wang Yan and the other three, just live in your courtyard, anyway, there are still a few empty rooms in your courtyard. ”
"Yes." Tang Shishi heard Li Yushi's arrangement, spit out her pink tongue mischievously, and directly withdrew.
Li Yushi looked at the back of Tang Shishi leaving, and the whole person fell into silence. was mainly shocked by the news brought back by Tang Shishi. What she didn't think about was that Li Yan would actually be the son of his cousin Li Hao.
Li Yushi is also a person who belongs to the Li family in Longxi, but it is a branch of the Li family. Beginning with her great-grandfather, his line became a branch.
It has become the main branch lineage, which is the current royal lineage. Originally, the first few main veins were a series of single transmissions, but when it came to Li Hao's father, it was Li Yuan's father's vein, and they became twins.
Regardless of whether it is the main department or the branch department, as long as the child reaches the age of 10, it is necessary to carry out unified literacy and hyphenation and ideological education in the main family. The purpose of this is that no matter whether it is the children of the main line or the branch lineage, they will not act to harm the Li family when they grow up.
So when Li Yushi was ten years old, she was also sent to the master's house. However, if you go to the master's house, you will inevitably not be bullied, after all, there were four families with the same name as the Li family at that time.
Between families, it is inevitable that there will be disputes between interests. Even if there are none, there are a lot of gentlemen, so it is inevitable that no one will pick things.
So Li Yushi was bullied by the children of other families when she went out alone. Seeing the crisis, Li Yuan appeared.
Li Hao helped Li Yushi solve the trouble, seeing that Li Yushi was very well-behaved and cute, Li Hao didn't like him, so he often took good care of him.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yushi has left a very beautiful image in his heart, and sometimes, he even regards him as his own brother.
Later, after Li Hao turned twenty-eight years old, he went out to travel, which also caused Li Yushi and Li Hao to rarely meet, but they rarely met, and the friendship was still there. At that time, Li Yushi was just a twenty-seven-year-old girl.
It is precisely because of this that the brother-sister relationship between Li Yushi and Li Hao is extraordinary. But when she received the news of Li Hao's death one day, Li Yushi almost fainted sadly.
Later, I knew that Li Hao also had a son who was rescued, and Li Yushi also sent someone to find it, but the Tang Dynasty is huge, and finding a baby is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
So after a period of time, whether it was the main family or Li Yushi, as long as they were looking for Li Hao's child, they all stopped looking, mainly because there was a peasant uprising in the previous dynasty, and there were dead people everywhere. And after that, Li Yuan also raised troops.
So after such a long time, as long as it was the Li family, they thought that Li Hao's heir had died in the war that changed the dynasty.
So this matter, Li Yushi also forgot, and even Li Hao was forgotten by her. After all, one or two decades is enough time to forget a lot of things.
But today, the name was re-mentioned by his own woman, and the forgotten part was recalled again. The bits and pieces of the past are recalled one by one.
These bits and pieces are recalled, Li Yushi's mood is extremely complicated, and the taste in her heart is indescribable.
..........
Sister Wen Jing and Wang Yan followed Li Yan and others to the courtyard where they lived. Wen Monkey said with envy on his face: "Brother Yan, the place where you live is so good, I am envious of it." ”
"Envy what, in the future you will see more luxurious, more exquisite inside the house. It's like those national mansions, county mansions. Li Yan heard Wen Monkey's words and said lightly.
Wen Monkey asked with a yearning look and a disbelieving expression, "Really?" ”
When Li Yan heard this, he just nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
And Tang Lan, Wen Jing and the others just smiled when they saw Li Yan nodding. Although Li Yan said that it may be achieved, this goal is a bit difficult. Even Tang Xiu, who usually talks a lot, has always believed in Li Yan very much, but he doesn't believe it very much.
What are you kidding, the Guogong Mansion, the County Mansion, this level of mansion, cannot be built privately. Once it is built without permission, it is a violation of Datang's regulations. The size and specifications of such mansions are all built according to a certain proportion, and they are generally built with different identities and different mansions. The size can be exceeded, but the specifications and layout inside cannot be built according to it.
Since it can't be built, then it can only be rewarded by virtue of merit. However, there are basically no battles to fight now, and it is even more difficult to obtain meritorious deeds. So none of them are very convinced.
Li Yan saw the disbelieving expressions on everyone's faces, he just smiled and didn't say anything, because of his own identity, he knew it himself, so they would definitely be shocked when the time came.
The individuals returned to their rooms, washed up, and then came to the courtyard to sit and chat. And the rooms of Wen Jing's sister and brother and Wang Yan were also arranged. And all three of them changed their clothes.
After returning the pair, all three of them have changed a lot. After Wen Jing put on the clothes of Miss Everyone, she no longer has the feeling of being rustic in the countryside before, but gives people a dignified and gentle, slim and elegant feeling of Miss Everyone.
Although Wang Yan's temperament and appearance are a little worse, they are not much worse. Although she is not as beautiful and moving as Wen Jing, she is also down-to-earth and generous, virtuous and quiet, and she is also a beauty who does not lose.
And Wen Monkey, what did you say? Because his figure is a little thinner, a little shorter, and he is not very handsome, and he has no temperament. To put it in layman's terms, he looks average, has an average temperament, and has a moving figure. It seems that there is nothing but general.
Seeing that he had changed into a child's clothes, there was no difference from before, and he immediately made a bitter face and said with a sad face: "God, what kind of world is this, why are you very different after you change your clothes, and I feel that my clothes have changed, there is no change." I still want to dress like this and go to the scenery. ”
When everyone heard Wen Monkey's words, they all laughed. Because of Wen Monkey's mood, they now know and understand.
