Chapter Eighty-Six: The Horse Storm (Part II)

Li Wengui's family lives in a mansion in the east of the city, and although he and his eldest brother Li Wenyou are brothers, they also settle accounts, and the eldest brother is in charge of the land in the clan property, while he controls various industries, and for many years the well water of each other does not interfere with the river water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, since the eldest brother Li Wenyou founded Li Ji Grain Store five years ago, the tacit understanding between Li Wengui and the eldest brother has been broken, and Li Wengui is deeply dissatisfied with the eldest brother who founded a new industry without consulting him.

But what really escalated Li Wengui's dissatisfaction was that he didn't know until three months that Li Daqi's father and son actually occupied 30% of Li Ji's grain store, which made him extremely shocked and made him extremely angry.

Needless to say, this is because of Li Yanqing, who is possessed by the so-called Great Ancestor, and the eldest brother's favor for him is simply intolerable.

Li Wengui didn't believe that Li Yanqing would be possessed by any great ancestor from the beginning, he insisted that his brother was dizzy, but he didn't want to turn his face with his eldest brother so he kept silent about this matter.

It wasn't until the eldest brother's love for Li Yanqing broke through his bottom line and gave Li Yanqing's father and son 30% of Li Ji's grain line to Li Yanqing's father and son, that the anger that had accumulated in Li Wengui's heart for many years finally broke out.

In the evening, Li Wengui returned from Li Ji Restaurant, as usual, Li Ji Restaurant, the largest asset of the Li family, opened three large stores on Hebei Lianglu, in addition to the tavern, Li also has two grocery stores and eight inns.

These assets are nominally owned by the Li clan, but in fact, most of them are owned by Li Wengui and several Li family houses, and the rest of the Li family members basically have nothing to do with these assets.

Li Wengui came out of the carriage, he was wearing a light blue dark coat today, wearing a scarf on his head, and his signature stern expression was always hung on his slender and dark face.

When Li Wengui saw an ox cart parked at the door, he asked, "Are there any guests today?" ”

"Master Qiqi, it's Li Daqi who is here."

Li Wengui was stunned, "How long has he been here?" ”

"I've been here for a while, and I've been waiting for the master."

Li Wengui pondered for a while and said, "Let him sit for a while, and I'll change my clothes." ”

In the guest hall, Li Daqi was drinking tea and patiently waiting for Li Wengui to come back, he had been waiting for almost half an hour, and Li Wengui never came back.

Just when Li Daqi was thinking about coming back another day, a child reported in the hall, "The master is here!" ”

Li Daqi hurriedly stood up, only to see Li Wengui walking slowly over with square steps, Li Daqi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Daqi see the third uncle!" ”

Li Wengui's eyes swept away, and when he saw that Li Yanqing didn't come, he was really dissatisfied in his heart, and couldn't help but snort, "Is this your junior's gift?" ”

Li Daqi was helpless, so he had to kneel down and bow down, "Daqi salutes the third uncle!" ”

Li Wengui ignored him, walked up to the hall and sat down, and then said coldly: "Get up!" ”

Li Daqi stood up and walked back to the hall but didn't dare to sit down, once Li Wengui began to think about etiquette, he couldn't sit down casually without the permission of his elders.

"Daqi, you teach your son etiquette well, he doesn't look like a junior in front of me, if it weren't for my broad-mindedness, I would have been angry with him a long time ago."

Li Daqi secretly scolded in his heart, trying to let his son sacrifice his future to cheat for him, where did he have the demeanor of an elder?

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he still replied respectfully: "The third uncle has taught him the right lesson, and I will definitely discipline him well." ”

Li Wengui glanced at him, he felt that Li Daqi's words were a little insincere, and he began to be disgusted with Li Daqi again in his heart, a clansman who grabbed knives for others and was scolded by people pointing at his backbone, if he didn't have his brother to support him, he would still have the opportunity to stand in front of him and talk?

I don't know how to be grateful, and I actually disobey myself, and Li Daqi thought of his son Li Yanqing who didn't know what to do, and a wave of anger began to burn in Li Wengui's heart.

He took a sip of tea and asked coldly, "Did you bring the horse?" ”

Li Daqi was silent, he just wanted to discuss the matter of the horse with Li Wengui now, he wanted to ask Li Wengui to let the horse go in front of the patriarch, but it was obvious that Li Wengui had no intention of compromising today, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Wengui glared at him fiercely, and then asked: "I made it very clear to you in the letter, that brother of the horse has promised to give my grandson, but it was taken away by your son's sword, I just want to know, when will you bring the horse back to me?" ”

"This thing.... I'm afraid my nephew will have to talk to the patriarch first. ”

'Bang! Li Wengui slammed the tea bowl on the table, his eyebrows were upside down, and he glared at Li Daqi angrily and said: "You dare to use the patriarch to press me, Li Daqi, you are very promising!" Who do you think you are, your wings are stiff, you can stop taking me Li Wengui in your eyes? Isn't it! ”

Li Daqi hurriedly explained: "The third uncle misunderstood the nephew's meaning, because the horse was given to Qing'er by the patriarch, if the patriarch did not agree, he gave the horse to others without authorization, we are afraid that the patriarch will be unhappy, please let the third uncle delay for a few more days, the little nephew has already written to the patriarch yesterday, and there will be a reply soon, only the patriarch does not object, we must send the horse back." ”

Li Wengui didn't really want that horse, he knew very well that Li Yanqing was practicing riding and archery every day, and he couldn't do without horses at all, he just wanted to borrow horses to make trouble, make things bigger, and force his brother to choose between him and Li Yanqing, if his brother still wanted to favor Li Yanqing, then the brother couldn't do it.

Li Wengui deliberately made a big deal about it, so he wouldn't listen to Li Daqi's explanation, and still said with an extremely tough attitude: "Li Daqi, I don't care what your idea is, but you listen to me, even if you invite the magistrate of Zhizhou County to suppress me, you must bring the horse to me tomorrow, otherwise we will have a good talk about the gift of the elder and the young in the ancestral hall!" ”

After speaking, he got up and walked away angrily, and froze Li Daqi on the guest hall, Li Daqi only felt that his scalp was numb, he understood the meaning of Li Wengui's last sentence, and it was written very clearly in the clan rules that if there was a dispute between the clansmen over property, even if it was unreasonable, the property must be handed over to the elders first, and then you can complain to the patriarch, and the patriarch will mediate, if the mediation fails, then the patriarch will convene the clan elders in the ancestral hall to make a ruling.

Li Wengui obviously took advantage of this clan rule, if his son refused to hand over the horse, he would be violating the clan rules first, and even if he was reasonable, he would be severely punished by the clan rules for disrespecting his elders, and even the patriarch could not help.

Li Daqi's feet were like lead, and he walked out of Li Wengui's mansion with a heavy weight, and got into a rented ox cart, and the coachman asked, "Where does the master want to go?" ”

His mind was blank, he didn't know how to convince his son, and he didn't know how to deal with the matter. He did not answer the coachman's words for a while.

When the coachman saw that he was distracted, he smiled and said, "If the master does not know where to go, then let's go back to the mule and horse first!" Don't waste Master's money. ”

The coachman's words reminded Li Daqi, and he hurriedly said: "Go to Wang Ji Mule and Horse Travel!" ”

........

In the courtyard, Li Yanqing was pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, silently reciting "Zhou Li Xinyi", although he has been studying the "Three Classics Xinyi" for five years, and he has long been familiar with the scriptures, but learning is like this, if he does not practice for three days, he will be born orally, and he must also recite it often, so as not to be unfamiliar for a long time.

At this time, the little maid magpie hurriedly came over, "Little official, there is an uncle looking for you outside, he called you by your name, and he actually knows my name." ”

Li Yanqing's mind turned, and he smiled: "It should be my father who is here!" ”

"Ahh The magpie was startled, and suddenly said in a panic: "I.... I didn't salute my lord just now! ”

"It's nothing, you don't know my father, he won't blame you."

Li Yanqing comforted the magpie a few words, and walked quickly to the gate, just walked to the outer courtyard, but saw his father leading a red horse, Wang Gui was carefully looking at the horse.

Seeing Li Yanqing come out, Wang Gui smiled and said, "Lao Li, this charcoal is the treasure of the town store in my store!" I didn't want to be bought by your daddy. ”

Li Yanqing's face sank, he knew what his father wanted to do? How can it be!
