Chapter 121 was added to the genealogy
Lord Wei's skill in making tea is a must. Meng Tian naturally didn't refute Lord Wei's face, and said slowly.
In fact, Meng Tian didn't have any research and hobby for tea, Meng Tian just saw that Li Jiang liked it, and he was happy in his heart.
"General Mengda, if you like it, Xiaguan still has some stock here, why don't you give it to General Mengda?" When Lord Wei heard Meng Tian's words, he was very happy in his heart, so he said even more flatteringly.
Meng Tian listened to Lord Wei's words, if it was on weekdays, he would definitely refuse without hesitation, but because he had just seen Li Jiang drink several more sips, he turned his face to Li Jiang.
Li Jiang was drinking tea quietly, but suddenly felt that the air was quiet, as if all eyes were looking at him, Li Jiang raised his head and saw Meng Tian's gaze.
Lord Wei's eyesight is also very good, seeing Meng Tian's expression, he knew that this tea was his wife's favorite, Lord Wei looked at Li Jiang with a smile and said, "Mrs. Meng, there are still some tea leaves here in Xiaguan, why don't you bring some back?" ”
Listening to Lord Wei's words, Li Jiang looked at Meng Tian, but Meng Tian's meaning was very clear, and Li Jiang decided by himself.
Li Jiang knew that coming to this mansion today would have troubled Meng Tian, and if he accepted this tea again, he was afraid that it would bring trouble to Meng Tian in the future.
So, Li Jiang put the teacup in his hand on the desk, and then pulled out a smile and said, "Lord Wei doesn't need it." ”
"Since Mrs. Meng likes it, she doesn't have to excuse herself, these teas are nothing." Seeing that Li Jiang refused, Master Wei immediately said that he didn't want to lose such a good opportunity.
"Lord Wei's tea is very good." Li Jiang looked at Lord Wei with a smile on his face, but said distantly: "But this also depends on your craftsmanship, Lord Wei, we can't brew these teas with your craftsmanship when we bring them back, so wouldn't it be wasted." ”
"If you like Mrs. Meng, Xia Guan can come to the house at any time to make tea for you." Seeing that Li Jiang still refused, Lord Wei still said with some reluctance.
"Lord Wei, you are the parent official of Xianyang City, and you are busy with official business on weekdays, how can you make tea for me, a woman?" Li Jiang said politely.
Master Wei knew that Li Jiang had decided not to accept it, and glanced at Meng Tian who was sitting on the side with his spare corner, as if his face was no longer very good-looking, so he immediately said in a familiar manner: "In this case, if you like Mrs. Meng, you can also come to the mansion to sit more when you have time, and the lower official will definitely make tea for you with his own hands." ”
Li Jiang listened, smiled and nodded to Lord Wei.
Seeing that the atmosphere had changed somewhat, Lord Wei smiled, and then sat back in his place with some embarrassment.
After a long while, the master came back with a family tree, and the master saluted everyone in the room, and then put the family tree on Lord Wei's press table.
Lord Wei looked at the genealogy in front of him and said with a flattering face: "This is the Li family tree." ”
After Li Jiang heard this, his face was a little happy, and then he got up and pulled Xiaobao to the desk, Meng Tian saw Li Jiang get up, and he stood up silently and followed.
"Madame Meng, please see." Lord Wei saw that Meng Tian and Li Jiang had both gotten up, and he quickly stood up, and then handed the family tree to Li Jiang with a smile on his face and said.
Li Jiang took the genealogy and looked at it with a smile on his face, the Li family tree used to be a lot of people, but later because of the slow branching, there were many collateral relatives who had set up their own doors, so there were fewer and fewer names on the family tree.
Li Jiang soon turned to her generation, and when it came to Li Jiang's generation, the Li clan genealogy only had the lineage of Li Lao, and the other collateral bloodlines had already moved out.
"This is it, please Lord Wei to add the name Li Shu." Li Jiang pointed to the blank space next to his name on the family tree and said happily.
"The lower official will deal with it immediately." Lord Wei was also very happy, and directly took over the genealogy in Li Jiang's hand, ready to start adding Li Shu to the genealogy.
However, Lord Wei stopped his movements when he saw the genealogy.
Li Jiang didn't understand why Lord Wei suddenly stopped, so he asked a little nervously, "Lord Wei, is there something wrong?" ”
Lord Wei looked at Li Jiang, then at Meng Tian, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mrs. Meng, you don't know, adding new names to the family tree requires the current patriarch to come and confirm it personally. ”
When Li Jiang heard this, he immediately looked at Meng Tian at a loss, if Li Jiang forgot, it was indeed like this, but his father, who went to Lishan to build the imperial mausoleum, how could he come here to add Xiaobao to the family tree?
Meng Tian saw Li Jiang's eyes asking for help, his eyes were full of tenderness, Meng Tian didn't need to worry about using Li, and then looked at Lord Wei and said: "Lord Wei, you know that Old Li was personally assigned by His Majesty to build the imperial tomb in Lishan, and now my wife is the only one in the Li family, I don't know if I can be flexible." ”
Li Jiang listened to Meng Tian's words, and also looked at Lord Wei with some expectation.
"This ......" Lord Wei listened to Meng Tian's words and looked at Li Jiang with some embarrassment.
"But what's the problem?" Meng Tian asked directly.
"General Meng, you and Mrs. Meng have become married, it stands to reason that Mrs. Meng should be crossed out from the Li clan genealogy and then added to the Meng clan genealogy, but you are busy with business and have never come to the government to deal with this matter." Only then did Lord Wei think of this, and only then did he remember that Li Jiang had not entered the Meng clan genealogy.
Meng Tian didn't pay attention to the matter of genealogy, not to mention that the relationship between himself and Li Jiang now, others may not be able to see it, but Meng Tian knew that they were in a very embarrassing period, so Meng Tian was focused on how to get along with Li Jiang, so he still remembered the genealogy.
Li Jiang listened to Lord Wei's words, and it was obvious that his body was stiff, and everyone present could feel it.
Lord Wei suddenly felt that there was something strange between Mrs. Meng and General Meng, but he couldn't say what it was.
Meng Tian already knew Li Jiang very well, knowing what Li Jiang was thinking in his heart now, there was a trace of bitterness in his heart, but his face was calm, so that people couldn't see the clues.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Lord Wei didn't know what he said wrong, so suddenly the atmosphere changed, so he could only ask tentatively: "General Meng, Mrs. Meng has come to the mansion today, why don't you add Mrs. Meng's name to the Meng family tree." ”
Lord Wei thought that Li Jiang's whole person was a little strange at the moment, because Meng Tian did not add himself to the Meng clan genealogy, so there was some awkwardness.
Lord Wei's idea may be correct if it is changed to someone else's family, after all, after a woman marries, she must follow her husband's family and fall into her husband's family tree, otherwise she will not be recognized by the world.
But Lord Wei didn't know the real relationship between Meng Tian and Li Jiang, so some sycophants were slapped on the horse's legs.
"Not necessarily." In the end, Meng Tian opened his mouth, Meng Tian looked at Li Jiang and then said to Lord Wei: "My wife."
Filial piety, the Li family only has the bloodline of my wife, and the genealogy matter will naturally be handled in person after Li Lao returns. ”
Although Meng Tian's words sounded like no problem on the surface, but in fact the problem was big, Lord Wei listened to Meng Tian's words, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, Li Lao went to Lishan to build the imperial mausoleum, this imperial mausoleum is so big that everyone knows, and when Li Lao comes back, he doesn't know what year he will have to wait until Ma Yue.
Of course, Lord Wei could only think silently in his heart, and he didn't dare to really say it, after all, although the genealogy matter is big, there is no problem with the person concerned, so why should he get into trouble?
Meng Tian saw that Lord Wei was silent, so he spoke again: "I didn't come today because of the problem of my wife's genealogy, can Lord Wei's Li Shu be added to the Li family tree?" ”
"Huh?" Lord Wei was muttering in his head now, and when he heard Meng Tian's words, he didn't react, and then after being stunned for a moment, he immediately spoke: "Since General Meng Da has spoken, the lower officials will definitely do it." ”
As he spoke, Master Wei picked up the pen next to him, dipped it in ink, and then wrote the name of Li Shu next to the genealogy Li Jiang, and then stamped a seal on it.
After the seal fell, Wei Dacai said with a smile on his face: "That's fine, from now on, Li Shu is a member of the Li clan." ”
After Li Jiang and Xiaobao listened to what Master Wei said, the two glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Meng Tian saw that Li Jiang finally had a smile on his face again, and his heart was also happy, so he said to Lord Wei: "Today's matter is considered that I owe Lord Wei a favor, if he asks for something, just come to me." ”
"General Meng is polite, it's just a matter of duty." Master Wei listened to Meng Tian's words, and although he replied respectfully, the smile on his face that he couldn't suppress had betrayed him.
Li Jiang looked at Meng Tian and knew that because he had made the upright Meng Tian owe a favor, he felt a little unhappy.
Li Jiang's careful thinking was immediately guessed by Meng Tian, and Meng Tian said softly: "Let's go home." ”
"Hmm." Li Jiang nodded, then reached out to hold Xiaobao's hand.
Now that the genealogy matter has been resolved, Meng Tian and Li Jiang have no intention of staying in the mansion any longer.
"The lower official sent General Meng and Mrs. Meng." Master Wei didn't keep it, he was also very knowledgeable, and he knew that he couldn't keep it, so he didn't do anything meaningless.
The entrance of the government office.
Meng Tian helped Li Jiang into the carriage, and then hugged Xiaobao into the carriage with his hand, and after the two of them went in and did a good job, he also got into the carriage neatly.
"General Meng walks slowly." Looking at the slowly departing carriage, Lord Wei respectfully saluted the carriage and said.
It wasn't until the carriage disappeared that the smile on Lord Wei's face gradually disappeared, and then he straightened up.
The master, who had been standing aside without speaking, came to Lord Wei's side, and then asked in a somewhat low voice: "General Meng and Mrs. Meng seem to be a little strange about the genealogy, why didn't your lord continue to ask at that time?" ”
"You know what?" Lord Wei still had a flattering look at the moment, and said with a shrewd face: "Don't you know what kind of character General Meng is?" If I asked, could he really answer me? I'm afraid that it will only backfire when the time comes, so it's better to pretend that you don't know anything, like it's not very good now, have you ever seen anyone who can make our general Meng Da owe favors? ”
