Text Chapter 490 The meaning of the Li Mansion

The joy of the assassin made Zhang, which became a happy event for the whole city to celebrate, and the greetings with all kinds of thoughts came one after another, and the turf on the ground in the poor backyard was trampled alive, which made Siyu complain.

In the past few days, Siyu is most enthusiastic about "picking" fruits under the courtyard wall, and every once in a while, there will be a lot of baskets woven with poplar and red willow branches outside the wall of the government office, and the blue seeds are full of fresh melons, fruits and vegetables, which is the most simple gratitude of the people of Huazhou to the history of Jiangthorn.

These melons, fruits and vegetables are not worth a few pennies, but they are full of the hearts of the people, Jiang Anyi was very moved, let people accept the gifts, and still put some bamboo utensils and small jars of wine in the basket as a return gift, and after half a month, they posted dozens of taels of silver. There were too many melons and fruits to eat, Guo Huaili took the opportunity to send honey fruits and pulled back a few carts, which reduced Jiang Anyi's sweet burden.

When Jiang Chenxing was full moon, a guest came to the house - Xuchanghua. Xuchanghua not only brought two large carts full of gifts, but also brought a letter from the Li Mansion. The letter was placed on the red lacquered table, the white paper and black words were particularly eye-catching, Jiang Anyi did not immediately take it, the thin letter was very valuable in his eyes, and he knew that this letter would determine the fate of him and Tong'er.

Xu Changhua silently drank tea, thinking about his thoughts, in mid-March this year, Li Mingxing and his wife quietly came to Changwu County to see their daughter, after a year of conditioning, Tong'er has recovered, her face has returned to blood, and her long hair has turned black. The family met sad and happy, and Li Mingxing and his wife were heartbroken for their daughter and wanted to take her back to Lijiazhuang. Tong'er refused, so the couple stayed in Woniu Pass to accompany their daughter.

It happened that Xin Fei sent a dowry in the name of Jiang Anyi, and Li Mingxing and his wife knew that Jiang Anyi and Tong'er had met and wanted to marry Tong'er as their wife. Li Mingxuan refused, the decline of the Li family today is all due to Jiang Anyiqing's battle for acres, and his daughter wants to marry the enemy. Later, An Niang told the second uncle that Tong'er almost died, and when she saw Jiang Anyi, she gradually recovered, and Li Mingxing's wife also advised: "We were sorry for Tong'er in the matter of the Xu family back then, but now we follow her wishes, just when we have one less daughter, I just hope that she can live happily." ”

Li Mingxing had no choice but to agree, but proposed to ask Tong'er to go back to her parents' house to be married, and let Jiang Anyi come to the door to marry. Tong'er was very happy to see her father and mother agree, as a woman, she naturally hoped to marry in a beautiful way, and immediately agreed to go back to Lijiazhuang to be married. Sure enough, Tong'er's marriage to Jiang Anyi caused an uproar in Lijiazhuang.

Under the deliberate suppression of the Son of Heaven, the Li family is now no longer the scenery of the top ten families in the twilight of the West Mountain, Li Mingxing was transferred to the Taifu Siqing, lost the authority of the court, Li Mingyi, who was originally regarded as the successor, was frightened, and finally left from the position of the imperial historian. Huangzhou Don't drive Li Mingqiao and Heyang County made Li Laiping, the originally smooth promotion road of the Li family become thorny, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Li family is declining.

The reason is naturally the Son of Heaven, but the Li family does not dare to be angry with the Son of Heaven, and naturally hates Yu Zhijie and Jiang Anyi's master and apprentice, and when they heard that Tong'er was going to marry the enemy Jiang Anyi, a large number of people jumped out to oppose it. After the Xu family and business, Tong'er was extremely disappointed with the clansmen, and said with a tough attitude that if the Li family did not allow her to marry, she would return to Changwu County, Qi Prefecture, and no longer treat herself as the Li family.

As the head of the family, Li Mingde has a long-term vision than the clansmen, and he knows that Tong'er's marriage to Jiang Anyi is a turning point for the Li family, and maybe the dying Li family will regain its vitality with the help of Jiang Anyi. There was a precedent for such an example twenty years ago, when the Cui family was not in the court, but fortunately, Cui's son-in-law Wu Huaren was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department soon after, and with the support of Wu Shangshu, the Cui family was able to tide over the difficulties and regain a firm foothold.

Although Jiang Anyi is only the acting assassin of Zheng Wupin, his growth momentum is obvious to all, I believe that any family is willing to recruit him as a son-in-law, but it is a pity that a Longwei woman took the lead, fortunately, this woman has no family power. The Li family already has a daughter who married him as a concubine, but the Li family is too thin for Li Lai and the family, and this kindness does not work. But Tong'er married Jiang Anyi as a flat wife is different, Tong'er is the daughter of the Li family, Mingxing and herself are brothers, from the same long branch, although Tong'er is a hard mouth, but she knows that she is soft-hearted and has a deep relationship with her family, with her by Jiang Anyi's side, the Li family and Jiang Anyi are firmly tied together, and they can use each other, such a good thing Jiang Anyi should be happy to see it come true.

What kind of hatred is difficult to eliminate, throughout the history of more than 1,000 years, which powerful family is not a trade-off and compromise, even the Son of Heaven allows the enemy to stand on top of the court, and even be crowned an official and promoted to a knight, just for the stability of the country, this is the proverb that it is better to settle the grievances.

Li Mingxing's voice in Jishan Hall was suppressed by everyone, and he said angrily: "Narrow-minded people, if you don't want to, I will ask for a breakup." "Splitting the family, this is a big deal, for the ethnic group, the separation of the family means that the strength is getting weaker, and Li Mingxing takes care of the business in the family, and the family's economy depends on him for support, if Li Mingxing separates and leaves, the life of the Li family will become more and more difficult. Everyone stopped making a sound, and their eyes were focused on Li Mingde.

Li Mingde had a plan in his heart, put down his bearded hand, waved at everyone, and reprimanded Li Mingxing: "Second brother, don't be angry, the Li family has not had a family split for more than 200 years, you have to split the family, unless I die." ”

Li Mingxing bowed his head and was silent, sulking.

"I know what everyone means, and there is some truth in what they say. Jiang Anyi does have some enmity with my Li family, but if we don't marry Tong'er, will we take revenge? This kid is now a wife and a concubine, and his life is very comfortable. Li Mingde's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and continued: "On the other hand, Tong'er marries him, not to mention anything else, it is more convenient to go back and forth to the Western Regions to do business. ”

When Zhang Wenjin impeached Jiang Anyi, several families launched an attack on Jiang Anyi in tandem, and promised to promise two things as long as Li Mingyi was impeached, one was to seek a foreign appointment for Li Mingyi, and the other was to allow the Li family to enter Huazhou to join the business in the Western Regions. Now that Li Mingyi has been appointed to Fangzhou, the business in the Western Regions is also trying, and if there is the support of Huazhou Thorn History, business can be done quickly.

The discussion in Jishan Hall became louder, Li Mingxing raised his head and glanced at his eldest brother gratefully, he didn't expect his brother to agree to Tong'er marrying Jiang Anyi.

After the discussion flew for a while, Li Mingde knocked the teacup and said, "I am not in charge of this matter, I will send someone to send a letter to Jingshi and ask the eldest brother to decide." "The eldest brother, Li Mingxing is also, Li Mingxing is the largest, but it is not from the long house, because he is in the third grade, so Li Mingde still has to discuss with him.

After receiving a letter from the clan, Li Mingxing was very uneasy, and as early as ten years ago, the Li family did not have to bow to the enemy in exchange for opportunities. He doesn't have much hatred for Jiang Anyi and Li Mingxing, he knows that the root cause is the Son of Heaven suppressing the family, Jiang Anyi just happened to this matter, even if he didn't make a move, Li Anyi and Wang Anyi would make a move, but after a few battles, they all ended in the failure of the Li family, and Mingyi was depressed, this evil breath is really difficult to swallow.

Walking in the garden with hands behind your back, May is the time when the flowers bloom to the fullest, and prosperity is followed by decay, and the dynasty is still like this, and the family cannot avoid it. Li Mingxing smelled the fragrance of flowers in the garden, and remembered that when he passed by the perfume shop during the day, the crowd in front of the store was crowded, but there were many birds in front of his house. Smiling self-deprecatingly, Li Mingxing made up his mind.

In the reply letter, Li Mingxing expressed support for Li Mingde's views and agreed to marry Tong'er to Jiang Anyi, but Li Mingxing also put forward a few requirements, the first Tong'er's identity is a flat wife, not a concubine, and her status is second only to Xinfei and higher than Dong'er; Second, the dowry of the Jiang family should be generous, giving the Li family enough face; third, let the Li family buy a house for Tong'er in Huazhou, and Tong'er does not have to live with his wife after getting married; Fourth, let Jiang Anyi support the Li family's business in Huazhou, and even send someone to help the Li family open up the trade routes in the Western Regions. Fifth, when Jiang Anyi enters Beijing or returns to Renzhou in the future, he will hold a special banquet to inform his relatives and friends.

After receiving the letter, Li Mingde nodded again and again, but the eldest brother was thoughtful, and after thinking about it carefully, he wrote a letter to Jiang Anyi and sent someone to invite Xuchanghua. The grievances between the two are difficult to solve, and the love and righteousness of the year no longer exist, for the sake of An Niang's face. Li Mingde knew that he was wrong, and expressed his apologies, Xu Changhua was unmoved, and simply explained his intentions directly, and asked Xuchanghua to go to Huazhou to send a letter to Jiang Anyi, as long as he agreed to the conditions in the letter, he would let Jiang Anyi come to greet his relatives.

Xu Changhua didn't know what conditions the Li family put forward in their letter to Jiang Anyi, but he cared about Tong'er and sincerely hoped that Tong'er could be happy. He did not go directly to Huazhou, but first returned to his home in Changwu County, and happened to receive a letter from Huazhou, telling him that Xinfei gave birth to a son for Jiang Anyi. Xu Changhua sighed secretly in his heart, the Li family is bent on interests, and does not take into account Tong'er's feelings, now Jiang Anyi has two sons, Tong'er has fallen behind, and if he delays some time, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to compare with Xinfei and others.

After preparing a generous gift, Xu Changhua brought a few brothers to deliver the letter, seeing that Jiang Anyi was silent and did not take the letter, Xu Changhua was uneasy in his heart at first, and coughed softly.

Jiang Anyi woke up to his gaffe, tore open the letter and read it carefully, in the letter, Li Mingde said that the Li family was willing to resolve the feud with Jiang Anyi and marry Tong'er to him, of course, the five conditions were mentioned below. In all fairness, these five conditions are not difficult, Jiang Anyi knows that there are deeper things hidden behind the conditions, and his mind does not have to be declared on paper.

just agreed to five conditions, which is a little indebted to Dong'er, especially when Yan'er ran away, Dong'er took Chenzhi to do her filial piety at home, which made Jiang Anyi feel deeply guilty, if Tong'er lived above Dong'er, it would be difficult for him to do it emotionally, and it is estimated that his mother would not agree.

Putting the letter back on the table, Jiang Anyi said to Xu Changhua with a smile: "Brother Xu is rare to come here, stay longer, I know what the letter says, and I will reply to Patriarch Li after Jiang has thought it through." ”

Xu Changhua sighed secretly, it seems that Tong'er's marriage still has twists and turns.
