As soon as Li Wenyou and Li Daguang left, Aunt Hu hurriedly entered the courtyard with Qing'er. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Qing'er, I heard one thing, you made a great contribution to the ancestral hall last night, is it true?"

"Ancestral mother, what is the ancestral hall?" Qing'er was even more anxious than her grandmother, and asked desperately pulling on her grandmother's clothes.

Li Yanqing squatted down and said to her with a smile: "Qing'er, the ancestral hall is a place to burn incense and put offerings, and you have to kowtow during the New Year, and you also have it at home!" ”

"Is it a place to put the cards?"

"By the way, that's where many people's cards are put together, and it's called the ancestral hall."

Qing'er clapped her hands and smiled: "I know, there must be a lot of delicious food, did the little cake that the second brother gave me eat was brought from the ancestral hall?" ”

Li Yanqing's back suddenly broke out in sweat, and this little girl told the truth.

He hurriedly explained, "No, that little cake was bought by my father from the white-bearded old man in the town, and I specially left a piece for you." ”

Aunt Hu realized that the patriarch came here today because of Qing'er's meritorious service last night.

"Qing'er, do you want to call your father back?"

"That's not necessary, auntie, I want to discuss something with you."

Aunt Hu touched his head and smiled: "Say it!" See what Auntie can help you with? ”

"Auntie, the patriarch wants to repair the house for our family, can I borrow the Westinghouse of the eldest lady's house to live for a few days?"

Mrs. Hu's family is much bigger than Li Yanqing's family, her son's family of three lives in the main house, Mrs. Hu lives alone in the east house, and the west house is empty, piling up some sundries.

Aunt Hu was very surprised in her heart, the patriarch was actually going to repair the house for the Daqi family, this child was much more productive than his father, she smiled and nodded, "I'll go back and clean up with Qing'er Niang, you can move over!" ”

At this time, someone outside the door asked, "Is Daqi at home?" ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, who is this?

The courtyard door was open, and a man in his thirties came in and asked with a smile, "Brother Qing'er, is your father at home?" ”

Li Yanqing didn't know this person, but Aunt Hu knew him, so she smiled politely: "It turned out to be Baozheng, Daqi went to the county, and Qing'er was the only one in the family." ”

Aunt Hu called him Baozheng, Li Yanqing immediately knew who he was, this person is called Li Zhen, he is Baozheng of Li Wencun, and he is also a member of the Li clan, but his blood relationship is a little far away, his father often mentions him, but his tone is not friendly, and sometimes he grits his teeth with hatred.

"Is there something wrong with Li Baozheng looking for my father?"

Of course, Li Zhen knew that Li Daqi had gone to the county, it was just an excuse, he actually came to find Li Yanqing.

"Brother Qing'er, it doesn't matter if your father is not there, it's the same with you."

Li Zhen glanced at Aunt Hu, and Aunt Hu took Qing'er away with interest.

Li Yanqing also knew that this village official, who had never come to the door, came here today, and nine times out of ten it was because of last night's incident.

"This bench was sat by the patriarch just now, Li Baozheng sat down and said!" Li Yanqing moved a bench for him.

Li Zhen looked a little nervous, there was a worry in his eyes that could not be concealed, he waved his hand, "You sit down!" I'm not going to sit down. ”

Li Yanqing sat down and looked at him strangely, but he secretly wondered in his heart, "Could it be that he also wants to invite himself to dance the Great God?" ’

Li Zhen rubbed his hands, and only after a while did he swallow and say: "That's the case, last night the two troublemakers of my family followed Steward Liu's son to the ancestral hall. ”

"So they're your sons!"

Li Yanqing almost said that he leaked, and hurriedly continued: "I saw that the fourth uncle arrested three children, saying that he caused trouble and burned the ancestral hall, I only know Liu Fuer, and the other two turned out to be Baozheng's sons. ”

Li Zhen nodded embarrassedly, "These two rebels have been spoiled by their grandfather since they were children, and they were lawless at home, and they got into a big disaster last night. ”

It turned out that the second and third brothers Li were the sons of this Baozheng, and he immediately understood what this Baozheng was doing when he came to find him.

He scratched his head and asked, "There shouldn't be any punishment!" After all, it's a child, at most a beating. ”

Li Zhen smiled bitterly, if only it were so simple, would he still need to come over and beg Li Yanqing?

He shook his head, "Brother Qing doesn't know, the crime of burning the ancestral hall is not in the patriarchal law, just because the crime is too big, no one dares to burn the ancestral hall, if you want to be punished, the lightest is to break a leg." ”

"What if the penalty is heavy?"

Li Zhen sighed, "If the heavy punishment is a lifelong ban on sacrifice, the two children's lives will be over." ”

Li Yanqing is not uncommon to go to worship any ancestor, but he understands what Li Zhen means, and he wants to ask him to use the identity of the great ancestor to help him intercede.

Li Yanqing is not disgusted with Li Er and Li San, except for talking a little bit, but at least he didn't run home to complain like Liu Fuer, but his father was angry when he mentioned this Li Zhen, needless to say, this person must have bullied his father fiercely.

Li Zhen continued: "Can you ask Brother Qing to intercede with the patriarch and try to get my two dogs lightly." ”

Li Yanqing didn't say anything, if it was Aunt Hu, he would do everything he could to help without begging him, but this Li Baozheng, why did his father dislike him so much?

Of course, Li Zhen also knew that he couldn't ask for someone empty-handed, so he took out a crumpled piece of yellow paper from his arms, put it on a small stool, and said with a smile: "This was originally your family's three-acre land deed, and your father sold it to me back then, so I don't want the money to return it to you!" It's a little bit of my heart. ”

Li Yanqing then understood why his father gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person, it must be for the three acres of ancestral land, he also felt strange, other people's families have a few acres of land, why do they have nothing in their own family.

If it was a fair deal, his father would not hate him, and something must have happened that made his father angry.

However, it is better to settle the grievance, this person is the integrity of Li Wencun, it is by no means a wise move to offend him, as long as he returns to the land, it is not bad to be a favor.

Li Yanqing picked up the title deed and said with a smile: "Li Baozheng went directly to the patriarch!" Let's just say that the two Linglang were coerced by Liu Fu'er and didn't dare not go, as for my side, I am willing to vouch for them and ask the patriarch to spare them once. ”

Li Zhen was overjoyed, he was overwhelmed by the catastrophe caused by his two sons, and went to beg Li Wengui early in the morning, although Li Wengui promised to fall lightly, but he also broke a leg from a light hair, how could he be willing?

Fortunately, Daguang told him just now that as long as this Qing brother was willing to open his mouth to plead with the patriarch, his two sons would be fine, and Li Zhen also heard about what happened last night, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Qing for your help!" If Brother Qing is free now, can we go to the town together. ”

Li Yanqing was in the mood to accompany him to the town, he immediately went back to the house and wrote a note and handed it to Li Zhen, "If you give this to the patriarch, he won't pursue Ling Lang." ”

Li Zhen saw that Li Yanqing refused to go, and there was no way, so he had to take the note and thank him and leave, Li Yanqing's mood at this time was really refreshing, childlike and childlike, so he simply cocked Erlang's legs and shouted triumphantly outside the door: "Master Li is here, and there is any neighbor who wants me to approve the note, just come!" ”

"Excuse me.... Is Brother Oki at home? "There was a very kind voice coming from outside the door.

．．．．．．

As the saying goes, 'no one asks about the troubles in the poor house, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.' ’

Since the patriarch came to the door, in just half a day, four clansmen came to visit, in addition to enthusiastically expressing their willingness to help Daqi take care of his son, who lives alone at home, they also sent two pumpkins, a pickled fish and half a bag of beans.

Li Yanqing gave all these things to Aunt Hu, he couldn't repay Mrs. Hu's family for their kindness, these were just a little of his thoughts.

In the afternoon, the courtyard of Li Yanqing's house was lively again. The housekeeper of Li Mansion Yang brought several bricklayers to see the house, the name of the housekeeper Yang Shanmin, about forty years old, his neck is very long, his head is small and his body is large, a pair of small short legs, he wears a white dress, and he looks like a big white goose from a distance.

Butler Yang's face is always full of smiles all year round, although he also has the nickname of 'Smiling Tiger' behind his back, but it still makes people feel that he is much more amiable than the fierce Liu Chenghong.

But today Yang Butler is indeed in a very good mood, smiling from the heart, he was originally a third butler, after Liu Chenghong was driven away last night, he was promoted to the chief butler by the master, and the second butler Sun who used to ride on his head became his subordinate.

"Brother Qing'er, this ten yuan is your father's! I'm going to get you back from Liu Chenghong for you. Butler Yang smiled and patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder, and put a heavy cloth bag at Li Yanqing's feet.
