Chapter 168: Li Youwei's huge dowry
Li Shizhong is in his sixties this year, his hair and beard are basically white, and his whole body is also thin and curled up.
As the son-in-law of the famous general Li Rusong, Li Shizhong did not inherit the might of his father and grandfather, but there was some bookish breath between his eyebrows and eyes.
Seeing Xu Changqing coming, he hurriedly asked the maid who served him to help him up, and wanted to say something, but it was a little difficult for a while.
Xu Changqing just wanted to speak, but here, Li Youwei, who had finished changing her clothes, also came over, and fell to her knees on the ground with a 'plop': "Dad, the unfilial daughter Youwei has come to see you." ”
"Okay, okay, okay."
Li Shizhong said a few words angrily, and a smile appeared on his old face.
Li Youwei's tears were already like springs, and she hurried over to support Li Shizhong.
Xu Changqing was really not good at this time, after all, kneeling is not, neither is bowing, after hesitating for a moment, Xu Changqing hurriedly took a deep look to the end, "Uncle Li, little nephew Xu Changqing, came to see you." ”
As soon as he heard the title of Xu Changqing, Li Shizhong's old eyes suddenly lit up, his difficult smile was even bigger, and he became happier, and waved his hand to signal Xu Changqing to come forward.
Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward, Li Shizhong wanted to grab Xu Changqing's hand, Xu Changqing hurriedly and carefully supported him, and suddenly, he felt that the old man's hand was very cold, and he trembled uncontrollably, like an elderly Parkinson's.
"Xu, General Xu, old man, old man, old man, although he can't leave the house these days, but he is, but he has admired your name for a long time. General Xu, it is really an honor for my Li family to know you. ”
The old man spoke very hard, Xu Changqing hurriedly attached his ear to his lips and nodded again and again.
Li Youwei's thin shoulders couldn't stop trembling, and her tears kept gushing like springs, but she couldn't hold back a sound.
Xu Changqing also understood at this time why Li Youwei was in such a hurry, and she was willing to pay so much.
This old man, I'm afraid, ...... It won't last long......
After chatting with Xu Changqing for a while, the old man motioned for Li Youwei to go out first.
Li Youwei was a little reluctant, but seeing that the old man's attitude was very resolute, she could only go out first.
Xu Changqing's expression when he looked at Li Shizhong was also more solemn, this old man, obviously he was a lonely man, and he hurriedly whispered respectfully: "Uncle, what do you have to say, the little nephew listens to me." ”
Li Shizhong smiled with difficulty: "Changqing, when it comes to this, the old man will be entrusted." Hehe, the old man doesn't have a few days left. However, God is not thin on my Li family. Although I can't move, my eyes are spent, and my ears are almost deaf, my heart is not blind! Youwei is in your hands, and I can be blind to death, old man! However, on the Li family's side, in the future, I will have to bother you to bring more caress photos......"
……
Li Zhizhong is old and seriously ill, and he can't hold on after talking to Xu Changqing for less than ten minutes.
Xu Changqing couldn't bear to disturb Li Shizhong's rest anymore, and respectfully withdrew from the door.
But it was at this moment that the two faced several core issues.
Needless to say, the descendants of the Li family have no success at all.
Not even a finished instrument, there is no one in it.
The appearance of Xu Changqing made Li Shizhong seem to grasp the last straw and pinned all his hopes on Xu Changqing.
In other words, eighty percent of the Li family's property, land, and connections were left to Xu Changqing.
This made Xu Changqing happy and at the same time a little unstoppably sad.
In life, I am most afraid of the end of the hero, and the beauty is in the twilight......
Xu Changqing finally expressed his attitude in front of Li Shizhong, and he would marry Li Youwei, and the old man showed a relieved smile.
"Brother Xu, daddy, daddy, daddy, he ......"
Out of the old man's door, Li Youwei threw herself into Xu Changqing's arms, frightened like a quail that had lost everything......
Xu Changqing let out a long sigh, and could only hold Li Youwei in his arms with all his might.
……
Because of Li Shizhong's body, Xu Changqing was not in a good state throughout the night.
However, Yang Guozhu, Li Fuming, Wang Pu, Lao Cao, and Ma Ke all know the situation, so they naturally will not make Xu Changqing unhappy.
By this time, Xu Changqing already had the capital not to look at other people's faces!
A dinner party was perfect, and everyone not only contacted their feelings, but also reached some agreements on some matters.
Including the distribution of some armor blades, war horse resources, and some other trivial matters.
And when the dinner was over, Li Hongyun took a few of the Li family's housekeepers and brought Xu Changqing a lot of account books, land deeds, and land deeds.
Xu Changqing was in the mood to look at this at this time, and let Li Hongyun and the others report it.
But it doesn't matter if you report it, soon, Xu Changqing was a little blind, really blinded.
Not to mention the outside of the Guan, just the land inside the Guan, the Li family has more than 100,000 acres!
This is only public land, on the open accounts, plus those hidden fields that were snatched by ingenuity, the Li family has more than 700,000 acres of land!
What is this concept?
Even if the land here in Shanhaiguan is not very valuable, one mu will cost more than one or two pieces of silver, and the Li family has a million taels of silver for the land alone!
And if you add to this real estate, storefronts, shops, usury, salt works, including several horse shops, brothels......
This is special, and it is easy to pass two million taels!
Even, the Li family has a lot of industries and land in Beijing, Jiangnan, Huguang, and even Sichuan. Thing.
This is not counting the Liaoxi outside the Guanxi......
Even if the Xu family's family background is not weak, and the miscellaneous things add up, they can make up hundreds of thousands of taels, but compared to the Li family, it is completely insignificant......
In particular, there are many connections and population resources of the Li family in the army......
If it were ordinary, Li Shizhong would definitely not take these things out, let alone hand them over to Xu Changqing, his son-in-law.
But at this time, Xu Changqing's sharpness is like the rising sun, which is irresistible at all, and Li Shizhong is also open-minded, not only to make his daughter down-to-earth, but also to fight for a good future for the Li family!
In other words, almost all of these are Li Youwei's dowry!
Li Hongyun seemed to regard Xu Changqing as the new owner at this time, and after reporting the big framework, he was busy and respectful: "Master, this is the property in the hands of our Li family's main house, if you add branches, there will be a lot more, especially the property that many main houses give to the divided family, many of them have problems at this time, and they have not been clarified." You see, are we calling the division over to reconcile the accounts? ”
“……”
Xu Changqing was speechless for a while.
It's not over yet!
However, although Xu Changqing has many means to easily pacify the Li family, now is not the time to make a move.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Changqing said: "This matter, don't worry. ”
As he spoke, Xu Changqing slowly glanced at Li Hongyun and several of the Li family's chief butlers.
Several people immediately lowered their heads humbly, but there was a certain indescribable excitement.
They leaned over to Xu Changqing so early, as if they were also asking for a reward.
After a while, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled, "Everyone, you are all people with great skills, you may not know much about what kind of person I Xu Changqing is." However, Li Hongyun and Steward Li know something. In this way, I won't talk nonsense, and from now on, all of you, double your salary! And, there will be an extra year-end bonus for the New Year! ”
Several people were suddenly agitated.
Even Li Hongyun was a little uncontrollable eagerness, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness." ”
As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
"Thank you."
Several of the big butlers, who were already in their forties and fifties, fifty or sixty years old, also came back to their senses and knelt down to thank them.
"Huh."
Xu Changqing smiled: "Everyone doesn't have to be restrained, let's get up." As the old saying goes, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time! For now, let's maintain the status quo for the time being, and don't be too rash and cause more trouble. However, try to recycle the money that you put on the outside. I hope that the Li family can deposit more cash in the future! This Shanhaiguan is not a place to stay for a long time! ”
Several big housekeepers are all old and sophisticated, and they immediately captured the core of Xu Changqing, Li Hongyun relied on being close to Xu Changqing, and said respectfully: "Master, what do you mean......"
Xu Changqing glanced at everyone in control: "No accident, I don't have much of a problem with this time." Moreover, in the post will be promoted to the rank of chief officer! You are all powerful people, so naturally you can't be limited to this Shanhaiguan! Let's not be in a hurry, go slowly, walk steadily! What are you fighting for? Isn't it just to mix a glorious lintel, mix comfort, and give future generations a future? As long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner and are truly loyal to me Xu Changqing, I will give you these! ”
"Yes, sir."
"Master, it's really an honor to be able to serve you."
"Master, don't worry, the old man will definitely do his best, and he will be ...... after death."
……
After sending away Li Hongyun and the others, Xu Changqing's mood was already much brighter.
Not to mention Li Youwei's side, Li Hongyun's talent alone is something that Xu Changqing needs very much.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, there are only Uncle Zhong and the Xu family under his command, which is too thin after all, and it is not conducive to controlling the overall situation.
If the Li family joins in later, then Xu Changqing will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and it will also be more conducive to the way of balance.
However, although Xu Changqing held the Li family's side, he also appeased Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei's side was embarrassed.
This little sweet girl, although she is young, is not stupid, she has also inherited the wisdom of the Wu family and the ancestral family.
Not long after Li Hongyun and the others left, this little sweet girl came to the door with some pear blossoms and rain: "Brother Xu, you, are you ...... Don't want me anymore? Because I don't have that much money in my house? ”
Looking at Wu Sanmei, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled bitterly, Bai Fumei is not so easy to marry, let alone want to double it.
Hurriedly smiled and took Wu Sanmei in his arms: "Third sister, where is this?" If Brother Xu does that, he won't be Chen Shimei? To be in the tiger's head. That's ......"
Coaxing the simple Wu Sanmei seems to be much better than Li Youwei.
As Xu Changqing told the story of Li Shizhong's side, Wu Sanmei's tears became even more fierce, "Brother Xu, Sister Youwei is so pitiful, Li Shibo is ...... here"
Xu Changqing sighed: "Third sister, this is life." It's like the sun rises and sets, the tide rises and falls, if we can't change it, we can only accept it, and strive not to waste every inch of time in life. You and Youwei and Brother Xu will all marry, you are the same, you know? ”
"Hmm."
Wu Sanmei got Xu Changqing's assurance, leaned on Xu Changqing's arms, and gradually began to calm down.
Looking at the corners of Wu Sanmei's delicate mouth, Xu Changqing originally wanted to concoct it in the same way...... However, after struggling for a while, reason finally prevailed over impulse......
……
Because of Li Shizhong's relationship and the urgency of Shanhaiguan, Xu Changqing stayed in Shanhaiguan for two more days, met many people in the Li family, and carefully turned around various places in Shanhaiguan, this is how to leave.
Li Youwei originally wanted to stay with her old father Li Shizhong and finish the last part of his life, but Li Shizhong refused.
Xu Changqing understood Li Shizhong's mind and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it......
The Li family is indeed very bad, many things are rotten to the bones, and there is almost no cure, but~, Li Shizhong's feelings Xu Changqing has to remember.
After that, if you can be more tolerant of the Li family, then you should be more tolerant.
