Chapter 875: Back to Kaifeng
Since Li Zhonghao went to the northwest, Li Dahe has been worrying about his heart. Although Li Zhonghao is very angry, after all, father and son are connected, and it is normal for children to travel thousands of miles and their fathers are worried.
Mrs. Xue saw that Li Dahe had been circling around the room with his hands behind his back, and she couldn't look at it, so she said angrily: "Rest for a while, drink hot tea, you are going around, and I am dizzy." β
"Erlang hasn't heard from you yet?" Li Dahe sighed secretly, stopped, turned his head and asked Mrs. Xue.
Mrs. Xue shook her head and sighed: "This Erlang is also true, after going to the northwest, there is no news, and he didn't even send a letter back, so he died in a hurry." β
Li Dahe glared angrily, muttering: "It's not me again...... his heart was shocked, and he subconsciously glanced around the room and found that the people had avoided it, which made him feel a little relieved.
The one who arranged for Li Zhonghao to go to the northwest was Zuo Ziguang's demon on the surface, but in fact, Li Dahe, who had been in the court for a long time, was an understanding person. If it weren't for Li Zhongyi's nod, Zuo Ziguang wouldn't have been so bold no matter how crazy he was.
What's more, although Zuo Ziguang is extremely powerful, he does not dare to meddle in the housework of the Lao Li family.
In fact, Li Dahe only guessed half right. Zuo Ziguang really had the guts, he first sent Li Zhonghao to the northwest to fold his family, and when everything was settled, he sent a letter to Li Zhongyi to report.
After Li Zhongyi received the letter, he was silent for a long time before he remembered to scold his mother, "Dog daring!" β
"He, Aya, I advise you, it's better to worry less. Da Lang has always been filial and sensible, and he never cares about his past suspicions against Erlang, otherwise, ......" Mrs. Xue's words were not finished, but Li Dahe could understand her voice.
With Li Zhongyi's current power, if he wants to target Li Zhonghao, why should he get that loser to go to the northwest to escape the disaster?
What's more, Li Zhongyi is not without a son. The eldest son, Li Jiyi, is more than 7 years old, and the third son, Xing's brother, Li Jide, is also four years old, so he is not worried about the problem of having no children to inherit the family's business.
If Li Dahe knew, next door to Lao Li's house, there was still the second-ranked grandson Ling'er, but he was afraid that he would be so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
It's also strange to say, the two brothers, Li Jiyi and Li Jide, look more like their mothers, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that it is Li Zhongyi's species in a blink of an eye.
However, Brother Ling, the second son born to Fei Meiniang, is very similar to Li Zhongyi. As long as an acquaintance sees Brother Ling, you don't need to look closely to know that it must be Li Zhongyi's cub.
However, Li Dahe is still deeply worried about Li Zhonghao. The reason is actually very simple, Zuo Ziguang is a ruthless guy, although he doesn't dare to do anything to Li Zhonghao clearly, if he secretly poisons without a trace, Li Dahe, who is beyond the reach of the whip, can only stare dryly.
"Ugh." Li Dahe couldn't sit still indoors, and he didn't want to interfere with Mrs. Xue, so he simply threw his sleeves and went out.
With the rise of Li Zhongyi's status, the old Li family's mansion has undergone at least three major repairs in order to meet the strict requirements of the official rank regulation.
In today's old mansion of the Li family, all the pavilions and pavilions are connected by verandahs with eaves, even if it is windy and rainy, there is no risk of rain.
Mrs. Xue knew Li Dahe's worries, but she didn't bother to worry about it, so she left with Li Dahe's negative anger.
Back then, when Li Zhonghao's biological mother Cao was in charge, Mrs. Xue, a concubine, and her eldest son, Li Zhongyi, were tossed by the Cao family and suffered a lot, which can be said to have endured all the hardships.
It's just that today is no longer the same as it used to be. In the back house of the old Li family today, the next generation of masters, except for Li Zhonghao, who was sent to the northwest, are all children and grandchildren with Mrs. Xue's blood.
As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Mrs. Xue's eldest son Li Zhongyi, the eldest son Bao Ge'er, and the old daughter Tianya, these are the three brothers and sisters of the same mother.
Since Chai Yuniang, the main wife, has not yet entered the door, the grandchildren of the family, including Gouwa, Xing Ge'er and Lingniu, although they are all concubines, are also the grandchildren and granddaughters of Mrs. Xue's relatives.
Alas, the scene of the gradual prosperity of the family made Mrs. Xue sigh, there is no grandchild looking forward to grandchildren, but the old son, the old daughter and the three grandchildren are about to make a fuss.
Especially the dog baby born to Tang Shuyi, since this kid turned seven years old, he made a special scene, Mrs. Xue pondered in private, and really responded to that sentence: Dogs are also disgusted!
"Mrs. Tang Wanfu...... The eldest prince Wanfu ......" came from outside the door.
"Grandmother, grandmother, I'm hungry, I want to eat a snack...... Mrs. Xue didn't have time to change her mind, but she saw a white and chubby bastard boy rushing in from the door curtain, who was it instead of the demon king of the world?
"Ouch, my little girl, quick, come here, come to grandmother...... Mrs. Xue stretched out her hands painfully and happily, took the lively dog baby into her arms, and stuffed a piece of rose cake into his mouth very easily.
As the saying goes, the old son and the eldest grandson are the top of the hearts of grandparents!
Mrs. Xue especially loves her eldest grandson Dog Baby, which is not a secret in the entire Lao Li family, but has long been a well-known fact.
The dog baby grabbed a piece of dim sum in each of his two white fat little paws, and he snuggled affectionately in Mrs. Xue's arms, "gigg......ling" and laughing unscrupulously, and the dim sum crumbs were scattered on Mrs. Xue's body.
As soon as Tang Shuyi stepped into the room with one foot, she saw this situation, she couldn't help but look pale and shouted: "Dog baby, Hugh is rude!" Why don't you hurry down? β
The dog baby was reprimanded by her mother and flattened her mouth, tears swirled around her eyes, and she looked aggrieved and wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
"You, you, keep your voice quiet, don't scare our dog." Mrs. Xue was quite dissatisfied with Tang Shuyi, "You have to teach the child, go back to your own house, don't be in front of me." β
"Mother, the dog baby is not small, if you develop a gentleman's temperament, I'm afraid it will make your husband dislike." Tang Shuyi sighed secretly in his heart, since the dog baby turned six years old, the old lady repeatedly mentioned the matter of inviting a famous teacher to enlighten the dog baby.
Who would have thought that Mrs. Xue was partial to her eldest grandson, and she didn't agree to let the dog baby go to the outer courtyard to suffer so early, and she was so spoiled that she couldn't become famous.
The old lady Li Dahe slapped the table angrily, but Mrs. Xue still refused to let go, and she caged the dog by her side, enjoying the extraordinarily nourishing family fun.
I think that at the beginning, because the main mother Cao married into the Li family for five years, she never gave birth. In order to inherit the lineage, Li Dahe withstood the huge pressure of his wife and family, and accepted Mrs. Xue, who was quite attractive, as a concubine.
Mrs. Xue was also angry, and gave birth to Li Zhongyi smoothly in the second year after entering the door, and for a while, she was also quite favored by Li Dahe.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After Li Zhonghao was born, the Cao family was very jealous of Li Zhongyi, the eldest son, based on the logic of cutting off the wings first, the Cao family casually found a reason to beat Chun'er, a close and intimate little maid who followed Mrs. Xue into the Li family, to death in front of Mrs. Xue.
Li Dahe, who has always been weak in front of the Cao family, was unprecedentedly angry and threatened to divorce his wife, which barely prevented the Cao family from further poisoning.
Tang Shuyi was originally called a bottle, but she was a second-class maid beside the old lady of the Li family, and she has always been quite trusted. Li Dahe was not worried about the Cao family, so he deliberately arranged Tang Shuyi to Mrs. Xue's side, not only taking care of Mrs. Xue's daily life, but also secretly preventing the Cao family's misdeeds.
In those difficult years, if it weren't for Tang Shuyi's loyal companionship and persuasion, objectively speaking, Mrs. Xue would have been unable to hold on under the deliberate humiliation of the Cao family.
Objectively speaking, Li Zhongyi is a very nostalgic person. However, Mrs. Xue, who has never read a book, talks more about old friendships than Li Zhongyi. After so many years, Mrs. Xue has a special preference for Tang Shuyi, who has gone through hardships together.
With the support of Li Zhongyi and Mrs. Xue, a unique magical scene was created in the Great Zhou: in the mansion of the dignified Prime Minister Li, Tang Shuyi, the concubine, was actually in charge.
The concubine room can actually show up to receive distinguished guests for Li Zhongyi and usher in the send-off. Li Dahe, who has always regarded himself as a disciple of Confucianism, is not pleasing to the eye on the left, and even more unpleasant to the right to see, what kind of system is this?
Hindering the two-to-one advantage of Mrs. Xue and Li Zhongyi, Li Dahe was obviously extremely unhappy, so he had to open his eyes and close his eyes, deliberately pretending to be confused, helpless.
God is fair, which not only gives Li Da and the old lady a lofty status, but also greatly weakens the authority he once had in the entire old Li family.
Although Li Zhongyi did not start a family, he established a business early, he is not only the premier feudal town of the Great Zhou, but also the prime minister of the political hall.
The more prominent Li Zhongyi's prestige is, the more respected Li Dahe will be when he goes out. Of course, Li Dahe is by no means a dumpling who has never seen the world, he knows very well that his current situation just responds to the old saying: Father is more precious than son!
In fact, Li Dahe, who already has three sons and one daughter, doesn't have much to worry about now, except for Erlang Li Zhonghao, a loser.
Brother Bao and Tianya, and Li Zhongyi are brothers and sisters who are close to each other, with Li Zhongyi's current prominent power and status, Li Dahe is worried about the future of his third son and eldest daughter.
Although the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, after all, the ten fingers have to be divided into long and short!
God is fair, this man, the more he lacks something, the more he will worry!
Water will always flow downward, and parents, for the sake of their children's future, even if they are eating radishes and worrying about it, this heart will always have to be fucked.
Mrs. Xue held the dog baby, and the grandparents and grandchildren put aside Tang Shu's clothes and played happily for a while. Until, beads of sweat appeared on the dog's forehead, and then he stopped.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the dog baby to be taken to wash and change clothes by the nurse, Tang Shuyi came to Mrs. Xue and whispered: "Mother, the husband's protΓ©gΓ© Zuo ordered someone to bring in a letter, saying that the husband is coming back soon." β
Mrs. Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly took Tang Shuyi's hand and asked eagerly, "When will you come back?" This month? How is his health? β
