Li Qian was very shameless, but his father Li Jinglun couldn't be as shameless as him, so he resisted the urge to kick the thatched house.

His escape Dafa is also a scoundrel, Li Jinglun can't figure out when his bastard son has become this faceless and skinless virtue. If I'm not mistaken, when my son was at home last year, he didn't seem to have such a temperament------

Li Qian delayed for a moment, and when he came out, his eldest brother Li Xiao also arrived "coincidentally".

Brother Li Xiao is ten years older than him, and now he is in his prime, and his temperament is very honest and loyal, and he usually doesn't talk much. But after all, he is an elder brother, and he still loves his younger brother very much, and when he sees his father trying to use family law against his younger brother, he will always dissuade him.

Some vague memories in his mind told Li Qian that his eldest brother's persuasion was still very useful. The countless meals of bamboo shoot barbecue in childhood are not counted, and the "self" of his youth accidentally made a mistake, and whenever his father wanted to beat him, it was his brother who persuaded him, only when Li Xiao was not at home, Li Qian really suffered twenty boards, and it became a joke among the people of Renhe County after dinner.

At that time, Li Qian was only a student of a school and had some names, but he was not yet famous, so he didn't have much impact. It's different now, if Master Jinshi takes another family beating, it will really make people laugh off their big teeth.

However, this time, Li Qian obviously really angered his father, and even his brother's persuasion was useless, this time Father Li didn't even choose a meaty buttocks, picked up a bamboo stick with a thick arm, and was about to hit his son who was kneeling on the ground.

Fortunately, Zipei saw that the opportunity was not good, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", and Pear Blossom told him about Li Qian's thirty court canes. Zijin also reacted this time, and knelt down immediately afterward, begging for the young master with a sad expression.

Only then did Li Jinglun know that his son still had old injuries that had not healed, and it was really difficult to make a heavy hand for a while. In fact, he has said countless times in the past that he wants to use family law, but the number of times he has really beaten his son is not much.

In the whole family, the father and son are all famous, but he and his eldest son Li Xiao have stopped at Xiucai, Li Qian can be said to be the most competitive child in the family, how can he Li Jinglun really be heavy-handed?

It's just that this son, this time his behavior is too much of a jerk, and he finally won a two-list jinshi, and in the end he actually ended up returning to his hometown------ is this considered happy and sad?

In the end, the helpless Li Jinglun could only be inward-looking, and seemed to reprimand Li Qian harshly, and then threw his sleeves back to Lijiazhuang.

Li Qian was really frightened, he was already secretly gathering momentum at that time, ready to run before the bamboo strip fell on his body------ as a modern person, Li Qian did not approve of the foolish and filial attitude of the ancients, and he would naturally slip away when he saw a bad opportunity.

Fortunately, the tiger poison does not eat children, although the cheap father has a bad temper, he has always been ruthless to his "seriously injured" son, and has not done such a spicy hand to destroy flowers ------ urge grass evil things, Ami Tofu, good, good------

After Li Jinglun left, Li Xiao began to shake his head and sigh: "Zhongqing, you disappointed your father, and my brother thought that you would ------ after passing the exam, so I won't mention this matter, you have been tired all the way, and you will rest for a day first, and remember to go home tomorrow." ”

Li Qian nodded lightly, and then said with a smile: "Thank you big brother for your persuasion today, otherwise I won't be able to get out of bed for a few days." ”

Li Xiao just shook his head, saying that there was no need to be so polite, and then he didn't say anything more and left directly.

There were only three masters and servants left in the hall, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed again.

To be honest, despite obtaining the memory of his predecessor, Li Qian is still a little unfamiliar with his father and brother, after all, everyone is not too familiar for the time being, and he is indeed an "impostor".

After some tossing, the master and servant were all tired.

In this era of inconvenient transportation, it is indeed very torturous to travel for several days. At this time, the crisis was resolved, and even if Li Qian sent the two maids down to rest, he fell asleep as soon as he fell down.

------

------

"Stop, I'll get out of the car and take a walk, you don't have to worry about me, go back by yourself first."

Before the carriage drove into Lijiazhuang, Li Qian said hello to the coachman, and then got out of the car alone, planning to walk alone for a while, to take a good look at what his current "home" is like.

Today, for the first time, he was back here.

The two maids wanted to follow, but Li Qian glared back with a stern look, and then sat back in the carriage and went back first.

All the scenery in front of him is so strange to Li Qian today, but he faintly feels extremely familiar ------ combination of such contradictory emotions is really a very strange phenomenon.

Along the way, Li Qian was surprised to find that it seemed that seven or eight more tenants had been added to the village. It can be seen that over the years, how crazy has the increase rate of the fields under his own name been------

In my memory, there were already nearly twenty tenant families living in this manor, and now looking at the new houses, there are indeed several more families. That's not all, as far as he knew, there were still a few scattered tenants living near the Grange elsewhere.

In the area south of the Yangtze River, especially in Hangzhou, those who can have hundreds or nearly thousands of acres of land can be regarded as big landlords. At this time, it was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a very dangerous thing to occupy so much fertile land under his name.

After going all the way, Li Qian completely understood that what his father said when he reprimanded him in anger yesterday was all true. The eunuch who became a prince at a young age has indeed embarrassed the Li family.

Although the tenants did not dare to say it, they could also see some clues from the eyes they cast on themselves.

In this regard, Li Qian was a little helpless.

What's wrong with not being an official?

Although I am dismissed, but I am also from the background of a two-list jinshi, and the identity of the eunuch is really not as noble as those old men?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qian came to a conclusion that was affirmative.

There is no way, everyone thinks that their careers are ruined, but those who raise people have a great chance to be able to enter the court and become officials.

A group of people who don't know it, don't you know how dangerous the officialdom is today, and finally escaped the catastrophe, and the ghost wants to go back to being an official------ even if most of the family business is divided to my brother in the future, I'm still a landlord, right?

After complaining in his heart, Li Qian came to the door of his house.

Today, when the second young master went home, the bright and spacious door was also open, and the slightly tall lintel showed the Li family's unique status now------ the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and no matter how embarrassing the eunuch was, he was still an official. Of course, the Li family's mansion did not dare to exceed the rules in terms of structure, and it was repaired in strict accordance with the standards stipulated by the imperial court.

The three fathers and sons of the Li family are all scholars, although Li Qian's father and brother are a little worse, but they also took the exam before coming back, and they still think about the regulations on the building more clearly.

Although only one room is allowed to be wide at the main entrance from the sixth-rank official to the common people, a lot of effort can still be done on the lintel. In any case, the lintels of the people are much wider and brighter than those of the common people.

Today's Li Qian can be regarded as a high-grade official. Xu is Lao Zhu himself felt a little embarrassed, and before that, he was extra kind enough to give him a review of the Hanlin Academy from the official position of the seventh grade, and then ------ honorably retired.

Come to think of it, it won't be long before this gate has to be repaired again, and it will be changed according to the standards of the seven-grade official------ alas, a group of people who like to toss around!

Thinking so in his heart, Li Qian raised his feet and entered the gate, but a servant who rushed out stumbled.

"Second ------ Second Young Master, the little one is not intentional, the master is in a hurry to find you!" The servant apologized urgently, but he didn't forget to get down to business.

"Looking for me? Is there anything urgent? ”

Li Qiankan stabilized his body and asked casually, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "It's not that you are in a hurry to catch me in and beat me up, then I have to think about it, how to run away------"

"Just now, the old man of the Lin family came to the door and said that it was ------"

"What is it?"

Li Qian naturally knew that the Lin family should be referring to his future father-in-law, so anxious to come to the door, didn't he want to force himself to marry his daughter quickly?

The servant lowered his head and replied hesitantly: "I said that it was ------ who came to the door and retreated------ and the family affairs of the two families, and even the dowry was returned!" ”

"Divorce?"

Li Qian didn't expect that he had just returned to Hangzhou on the front foot, and he didn't even have time to enter the door, so he rushed over first. This is really strange, but he is also a dignified seven-grade Zhishi eunuch, can he look down on people so much?

But to be honest, Li Qian hadn't even seen the girl's face, so he wouldn't have much reaction to it. When I was in Jinling before, I thought about going home to marry a daughter-in-law, which was also a means to be afraid of Lao Zhu, and I felt that marrying a daughter-in-law was quite good in comparison.

Now that I look back and think about it carefully, the marriage that was determined by the words of the parents and the matchmaker has always been unreliable. To put it bluntly, what is important is nothing more than the fact that the door is right.

But to say that it doesn't matter at all is also impossible.

For a big family like the Li family, it is very embarrassing to be dismissed from their relatives, and it is several times more serious than being dismissed. Li Qian can imagine with his toes, how ashamed his own Lao Tzu should be at this moment------ this is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind, just made a big joke, and big jokes followed, God treats himself well------

Li Qian knew that all this was caused by himself, but he couldn't put all the blame on the Lin family. It's just that in terms of face, after all, it's a little hard to get by.

Just as he was about to walk into the courtyard, the servant behind him quickly grabbed his sleeve and lowered his voice: "Second young master, the eldest young master said, let you go out and hide for a few days, and come back when the old man's anger is gone------"

"No need, I'll go in and see what his Lin family said." Li Qian smiled and shook his head. The trouble you caused, you have to ------ it while kneeling?

If the Lin family wants to quit this family business because they feel that they have no chance to become an official in this life, then it is okay if such an in-law family does not get married!

To tell the truth, Li Qian is not rare at all.
