Chapter 1271: Fire
"Niangniang, Concubine Liangniang sent someone to say that she is going to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to offer incense." The eldest girl Qin Xiang reported Li Qiniang's latest movements to Tang Shuyi.
Tang Shuyi is the lady in charge of the old Li family, in charge of all kinds of general affairs of the entire old Li family, Li Qiniang must find Tang Shuyi to arrange a carriage if she wants to go out.
"Come on, take my post to the Yamen of the Police Temple, and tell Li Yanqing about it." Tang Shuyi was only responsible for arranging carriages and horses, and was not qualified to approve Li Qiniang's failure to go out.
Besides, if Li Qiniang wants to go out, she must have been allowed by Mrs. Xue, otherwise, she would not have asked for a carriage or horse.
The affairs of the lady in charge are extremely complicated, from the purchase of needles and threads to the opening of the wall and holes, all of which have to go through Tang Shuyi's hands.
Although Li Qiniang is very favored, she is a woman with a clear mind, and there is a lady Xue who can't be messed with standing behind Tang Shuyi, and it is impossible for her to compete with Tang Shuyi for the right to be a housekeeper.
The lady in charge of the house seems to be majestic and overwhelming, but in fact, it is easy to offend people by taking the blame.
After all, no matter how many resources there are in the house, they are limited, and given to Zhang San, Li Si will inevitably have opinions.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, which means that family affairs involve blood, family affection or pampering, and who cares who has a headache.
Going to Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense is just a disguised statement for Li Qiniang to go out to breathe. The pampering in the old mansion of the Li family is excellent, although it is fine clothes and fine food, but once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and after staying in the house for a long time, it is easy to get sick.
This time, before Li Zhongyi's Northern Expedition, he didn't take Li Qiniang with him, mainly because he considered that the fierce battle was imminent, and the swords and guns didn't have long eyes.
Li Qiniang went to the Great Xiangguo Temple to offer incense this time, mainly because she wanted to worship Guanyin, who sent her son Guanyin, and prayed for the great mercy and compassion of Guanyin Niangniang to reward her with a son.
With Li Qiniang's current favor, as long as she gives birth to a son, it is very likely that she will be made a son.
Li Zhongyi was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and if he didn't stand up, he fell second, and the core was that Li Qiniang was afraid of being scolded as a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
In these years, no matter which wealthy family, what is particular about unfilial piety is three, and no queen is great!
A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and the root of this German word is actually to spread out for the entire family.
To put it bluntly, Li Qiniang doesn't want to be secretly poked in her backbone, otherwise she won't be in a hurry to ask for a son!
Tang Shuyi is such a shrewd woman, Li Qiniang only said to go to the incense, and she immediately guessed Li Qiniang's true thoughts.
"What is Da Lang doing?" As soon as Tang Shuyi thought of his son Gouwa, the softest part of his heart was instantly poked, and it was extremely warm.
"Niangniang, you have asked more than a dozen times today, Da Lang is farming in the back garden."
By Tang Shuyi's side, only Qin Xiang dared to say such a small complaint.
Tang Shuyi raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and sighed: "Look at my memory, alas, the years are not forgiving." ”
Qin Xiang smiled and quipped: "Listening to your tone, I'm afraid it's more than eighty years old." ”
Qiu Xiang on the side was jealous to death, even if she killed her, she didn't dare to say anything casually.
It is also strange to say that Mrs. Xue is particularly fond of Tang Shuyi, and Tang Shuyi especially trusts Qin Xiang, the big girl around her.
This person gets along with each other, and what he pays attention to is a fateful word. If you are destined to stay together, even if it is against your ears, you are not afraid of being beaten or losing your head.
Tang Shuyi glared at Qin Xiang angrily, and said angrily: "You are the poorest, come on, block it first." He picked up a red fruit and stuffed it into Qinxiang's mouth.
Qiu Xiang obviously saw everything, but she could only pretend not to see it, she grabbed her handkerchief tightly, and she was jealous to death!
Qin Xiang took a bite of the red fruit, chewed it loudly, and said vaguely: "Niangniang, I also heard about a rare thing, the Kong girl was fined twenty rods by Kang Ze, tsk, I heard that the buttocks were broken." ”
Tang Shuyi knew that the Kong girl in Qinxiang's mouth was referring to Kong Daiyao, she shook her head and said, "Kang Ze is doing this, it's too much." ”
Originally, Tang Shuyi and Kong Kun belonged to a relationship that could not be fought by a big pole, however, Tang Shuyi has now remembered Kong Kun and will never forget it.
The cause of the matter is actually not complicated, Kong Kun inadvertently said that Li Jiyi's knowledge is not as solid as Li Jide.
Just such a sentence made Tang Shuyi very unhappy, and just as Kong Daiyao fell into Kang Ze's palm, Qin Xiang made a hint.
What a clever chamberlain is Kang Ze? The kung fu of being obedient and listening to the sound is the most basic skill for him to mix in the palace, how can he not know that Kong Daiyao provoked the virtuous concubine?
Qin Xiang seemed to say this casually, but in fact, she reported Kong Daiyao's miserable appearance in disguise, and after Tang Shuyi heard it, her heart felt comfortable.
Don't look at Kong Kun as the prime minister of the cabinet, he seems to be in a high position, in the final analysis, he is just a courtier of the old Li family, it's not a big deal!
Qin Xiang pursed her lips when she saw Tang Shuyi, and she immediately understood that the matter of Kong Daiyao's beating must be transmitted to Mrs. Zhang's ears by all means.
Mrs. Zhang is Kong Daiyao's biological mother, and if she knows, it means that the entire Kong family knows that she is powerful.
Now, as the children grow up, who is qualified to be the son of the world has become the biggest event in the future of the entire Lao Li family.
Li Jiyi, that is, the dog baby, is Li Zhongyi's eldest son, and naturally has a certain advantage.
However, in terms of reading, Li Jiyi is not as hard working as Li Jide. Li Jide has already read "University", and Li Jiyi hasn't even understood "Shangshu", which is really anxious.
However, Li Jiyi also has strengths, and the grain harvest of the land he planted has always been more than 30% more than that of Li Jide.
Now, the children are getting older, but Li Zhongyi has no intention of hiring a teacher for them. Li Zhongyi's requirements for children must be literate and knowledgeable, and they must know how to farm when they are farming.
Tang Shuyi's current horizons are even more broadened than before, I don't know how many times. She was a little unimpressed with Li Zhongyi's free-range education method, the children are all the best in the sky, how can they only be good at farming?
"Someone, go and call Da Lang back, just say I have something to order." Tang Shuyi hoped that his son would be recognized by the Confucians, so that he could inherit the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that his father had laid down in the future.
It didn't take long for Li Qiniang to hear about Kong Daiyao's beating, and she couldn't help but sigh and said, "After all, she is the biological daughter of the cabinet minister, how can it be so?" ”
Yingyue, who was on the side, also sighed and whispered: "If you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, right?" ”
"But isn't it, if Kong Xianggong learns the news, I'm afraid that something big will happen." Li Qiniang was born in the family of the county king and prime minister, and she naturally knew that the ministers were most afraid of not having the prestige to lead the ministers.
If Kong Kun knew the news, he would probably immediately hand over the chapter and ask the bones to leave.
In the officialdom of these years, there is no resignation, let alone retirement. When the officials reach the age when they can't do anything, they will go to the chapter to beg for bones and return to their hometowns to retire and retire.
Li Zhongyi was fighting in the north, and the ministers of the cabinet should have been united, but if Kong Kun really wanted to stop doing it, it would indeed be a big trouble.
However, with Li Qiniang's understanding of Tang Shuyi, she is not a brainless woman, otherwise, Li Zhongyi would not have been able to hand over the power of the family to her.
Zhe Saihua knew about Kong Daiyao's beating, it was already a few days later, although she was in the name of a concubine, she did not have the right to manage palace affairs, and the news was naturally much more closed than Li Qiniang and Tang Shuyi.
"Alas, I'm afraid it's Brother Xing'er's fault again." Zhe Saihua is an understanding person, her son Li Jide has the superpower of never forgetting, whether it is reading or learning, he is much faster than Li Jiyi.
Among Li Zhongyi's four existing sons, except for Li Ge'er, who has not yet reached the anniversary and can be ignored, the remaining three sons are roughly the same age, and the gap is not big, which naturally forms a competitive relationship in a certain sense.
How to say it, among Li Zhongyi's many women, Tang Shuyi's background is the lowest, and there is no mother's family to help her.
Fold Saihua has a folded family to send money and gifts, and the power of the backer is unusually hard, and the mother's family also sent Fold Yukou to live in Kaifeng City, so as to take care of their mother and son nearby.
Not to mention Li Qiniang, her maiden family, the Huayang County Palace, is also the Prime Minister's Mansion, she wants money and money, and there are people, and the strength of her mother's family cannot be smaller than that of the Zhe family.
As for Fei Meiniang, she was originally the concubine of Shu Kingdom, not only well-informed, but also saw through many things, and she has never quarreled with the world.
"Alas, Concubine Xian is too strong." Yingyue is the confidant of Li Qiniang's henchmen, if others dare not say it, she can say it, and Li Qiniang is not angry when she says it.
"No, it should be Kang Ze's guts are too fat, even the prime minister's daughter dares to beat him, hmph, that old guy is in arrears again." Li Qiniang originally didn't have any opinion on Kang Ze, Kang Ze was just a castration without that talk, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
However, Kang Ze's unscrupulous posture of stammering Tang Shuyi made people look very uncomfortable.
"Niangniang, we can't have infighting with Xian Niangniang and fight in the ring!" Yingyue was worried that Li Qiniang and Tang Shuyi had a head-on conflict, so she hurriedly whispered a reminder, so as not to provoke Mrs. Xue and suffer a big loss.
In the back house of the old Li family, Mrs. Xue's eccentric eyes protect Tang Shuyi, which is already well-known.
As the saying goes, where there is a mother, there must be a son!
thinks that back then, Tang Shuyi, Mrs. Xue and Li Zhongyi went through hardships together, which was the root cause of her status in the old Li family.
Li Qiniang naturally knows about this past, she has no children under her knees now, and she has never had the time to wrestle with Tang Shuyi, offending such a strong opponent is actually a very cost-effective thing.
What's more, Li Qiniang and Kong Kun don't have any friendship, so there is no need to conflict with Tang Shuyi for Kong Daiyao's beating.
"Yingyue, there are some things that you don't understand." Li Qiniang sighed slightly and said, "The blame Lang ordered me to take care of the palace affairs with the Tang family, just to let me help the Tang family, she hasn't read many books, and her temperament is a little impatient......
