Chapter 296: Fighting with Father-in-law
In the bedroom, Yi Niang leaned on the side of the bed, while Li Xiu sat opposite her, and told Pei Ju about being injured and seriously ill in a low tone, and finally spoke again: "That's the thing, listening to Lao Fu's tone, I must want to invite you over, you see......"
"Husband, today I went to the princess and wanted to invite her to live in the courtyard next to her, but the princess didn't say yes or no, you can go there in person tomorrow, anyway, the princess is not an outsider, and only when they live together can they look like a family!" Before Li Xiu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Niang, and he also diverted the topic to the side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hey, you...... That ......" Li Xiu didn't know what to say when he heard this, Yi Niang obviously didn't want to talk about Pei Ju, but the more she didn't want to talk about it, the more it showed that she actually cared about this matter in her heart, and this kind of contradictory psychology was probably only understood by Yi Niang herself.
"Forget it, I won't say much about the rest, but Yi Niang, you must know that no matter what choice you make, I will support you!" Li Xiu finally shook his head helplessly and said, and then turned around and left the room.
As soon as Li Xiu left the room, Yi Niang sat on the edge of the bed a little weakly, and her face also revealed a complicated look, both resentful and helpless, but more of a kind of confusion, originally she thought that she only had incomparable hatred for her father Pei Ju, but when she heard that he was injured after sweeping the grave that day, and now the injury is aggravated, she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, after all, that kind of blood and family relationship is constant no matter what.
Li Xiu came out of the bedroom, he wanted to find Princess Pingyang, but he was worried that something would go wrong with Yi Niang, so he had no choice but to go to the guest room to rest, and so on the next morning, he found that Yi Niang was still like usual, what to do and what to do, as if he didn't take Pei Ju's matter to heart, which made him shake his head secretly, with his understanding of Yi Niang, I'm afraid she is definitely not as calm as on the surface, but he needs to respect Yi Niang's choice, so it is inconvenient for him to interfere again.
After breakfast, Li Xiu went to the old house first, and found that it had been almost rebuilt, and a lot of wooden sheds had been set up inside and outside the old house, and a stove for roasting tea was built inside, which could be used as long as it was dried for a few days, which also made Yuechan begin to hurry up and notify those women who were willing to come to work, and it was estimated that the construction could officially start in a few days.
In contrast, the Yamen of the Ministry of Agriculture is still busy, after all, this is not a place that can be built in a while, Yang Nong has white hair, and a group of officials around him are busy with their feet do not touch the ground, Li Xiu did not dare to come forward to disturb when he saw this, and then went to the corn field and sweet potato field, and found that many officials of the Ministry of Agriculture stood in the field and carefully observed the growth of crops, it seems that the Tang Dynasty really regarded these two crops as treasures.
In the end, Li Xiu came to the princess's courtyard, and when he saw Princess Pingyang, he saw that the other party was pruning flowers and plants in the garden, so Li Xiu found scissors from the side and came to Princess Pingyang to help prune together.
"Why are you free today?" Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Xiu coquettishly at this time and said, since she had a husband and wife, Princess Pingyang has become much bolder, and she is also a little dissatisfied with Li Xiu's appointment yesterday, and she has a resentment in her words.
"Something happened yesterday, didn't Yi Niang say that you should live there, why didn't you agree?" Li Xiu smiled at this time, in fact, he was looking forward to living with Princess Pingyang normally, and the family would be happy at that time, so as not to let him run away from each other.
"I ...... I'm a little worried! What Li Xiu didn't expect was that Princess Pingyang suddenly showed a gloomy expression at this time.
"What's wrong, what's there to worry about?" Li Xiu asked strangely at this time, in his opinion, Princess Pingyang has regained her free body, and it is natural to live with her, not to mention that the two of them have already become husband and wife.
"I ......" I saw Princess Pingyang hesitate again, and finally spoke, "Although we worshipped at the beginning, in the eyes of outsiders, Yi Niang is your wife, and Yi Niang is pregnant, and I suddenly live in your house now, so what kind of identity should I be?" What will others think of you? ”
"Xiuning, you think too much, don't care what others think, in my eyes, you are my wife, Yi Niang also admits this, now you move over, our family lives together and lives their own lives, if anyone disagrees, let him come to me!" Li Xiu was very domineering and persuaded him, he didn't care what others thought of him.
"But...... But what if my father gets angry when he finds out about this, I don't know how to explain this to my father. Princess Pingyang hesitated again, in fact, she didn't sleep well last night, mainly thinking about this problem.
"Your Majesty blames it, just blame it, last time I mobilized the crown prince and the king of Qin to help you get out of marriage, Your Majesty has already hated me, so it's not bad this time!" Li Xiu said nonchalantly again, since Li Yuan refused to let Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao dissolve their marriage last time, Li Yuan's attitude was no longer in his consideration.
"No, my father's attitude can't be ignored, just like yours, last time my father probably hated you, maybe now he is worried that he can't find a way to punish you, if he knows that I live in your house, it is likely to make my father angry, what if you punish you with this excuse?" Princess Pingyang insisted with some panic, no one knew her father Li Yuan's temperament better than her.
"This ...... Why are you in a dilemma like Yiniang because of your father? Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang's resolute attitude, and finally complained helplessly, he didn't understand why the two women he married were both difficult fathers, was he destined to be with his father-in-law?
"What's wrong with Yi Niang, is Pei Ju bothering you again?" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Li Xiu's words.
"It's not just that it's bothering us, but Pei Ju was injured before, and it is said that it is still very ......serious," Li Xiu said and talked about the tomb sweeping that day, as well as the words that Lao Fu said yesterday, and finally talked about Yi Niang's reaction when she heard this.
"You see, Yi Niang didn't say it, she deliberately pretended to be okay today, but in my understanding, she definitely cares about this matter, but she stubbornly refuses to face the true thoughts in her heart, and you are worried about Your Majesty's attitude here, and you refuse to go back to live with us, I married the two of you, not to marry your father together, for them, but to stir up the chickens and dogs in my house, who did I recruit to provoke whom?" Li Xiu also complained helplessly at this time, he couldn't handle the two women, it was hard to imagine what a harem group like Li Yuan would look like?
"Giggles, who told you that you only marry one person when you get married, and getting married is originally a matter of two families, okay? So people are only willing to marry one wife, and the others can only be regarded as concubines, but you are good to marry two at once, which can only say that you are asking for trouble! After listening to Li Xiu's complaints, Princess Pingyang was a little gloating.
"Ha~, you also admit that I married you, then you are my wife now!" Li Xiu said and suddenly bent down and hugged Princess Pingyang, she was scared and screamed, and then hurriedly covered her mouth, and at the same time Huarong changed color and said, "You are crazy, hurry up and let me down, let people see how bad it is!" ”
"Hehe, it's a natural thing for a husband to hug his wife, and I'm going to do something that a husband should do!" Li Xiu said that he hugged Princess Pingyang and walked to the bedroom, which made Princess Pingyang even more ashamed and anxious, and whispered while patting Li Xiu's shoulder, "Let me go quickly, it's still broad daylight, let people know that I don't have a face to see people!" ”
It's a pity that Li Xiu doesn't care about this, what's going on during the day, this is interesting, so no matter how much Princess Pingyang struggles, she was finally carried into the bedroom by him, and then it was inappropriate for children, and Princess Pingyang's struggle became softer and softer, and finally gave up resisting.
After a long time, the bedroom finally regained its calm again, Li Xiu lay on the bed with a satisfied face, while Princess Pingyang kept twisting his arm, the expression on her face was shy and a little ruddy, which looked particularly attractive.
"You're like this in broad daylight, how can I see people in the future?" Princess Pingyang twisted Li Xiu's arm and wanted to retaliate, but she couldn't bear to use force, so she had to beat Li Xiu's chest hard.
"Hehe, you ...... just now" Li Xiu just wanted to laugh a few words, but Princess Pingyang suddenly twisted his chest hard, which made him gasp with an "oops", and looked down to see that his chest was blue, which made him no longer dare to talk nonsense, hehe smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say it, but the matter between you and Yi Niang really gives me a headache, and I was also worried that Yi Niang didn't come yesterday." ”
Hearing Li Xiu mention the content of the conversation just now, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be silent, and only after a while did she speak: "Li Xiu, let my affairs go for the time being, anyway, we haven't lived together all the time, and it's good now, in addition, although I and Yiniang usually get along well, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no conflicts when we live together, and she is still pregnant, you better take care of her first and give birth to the child!" ”
"Yi Niang is pregnant with a child, so if you are pregnant, do you still want to live here alone?" At this time, Li Xiu asked again with some unwillingness.
"That's so soon, if I have a baby, then move in with you and let you take care of me, okay?" When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu's assumption, she couldn't help but smile and said, if she is pregnant, she also wants to live with Li Xiu and enjoy Li Xiu's care for his wife.
"Okay, then it's decided, if you're pregnant, stay at home with me!" Li Xiu suddenly said excitedly when she heard this, and after speaking, she suddenly turned over and pressed Princess Pingyang under her again, which made her scream, but it was too late to resist.
Li Xiu stayed here at Princess Pingyang until the afternoon before going back, and took a detour to the old mansion, only to find that Yuechan and Fat Sister and others were busy there, and Fan Er was even more like a command, after all, she was the person who knew how to fry tea, so how to arrange it in the workshop, her opinion was also very important, but her opinion was too naïve, and many of them needed Yuechan to consider, but Fan Er didn't care, she wanted this feeling.
"Master, the workshop has been arranged, and the female workers have been notified, and they will be asked to come here to start work in three days, and the houses in the old house have also been changed into living places, and the female workers will live in the workshop in the future!" When Yuechan saw Li Xiu, she hurriedly stepped forward to report to him.
"The workshop is very good, but aren't the female workers from the nearby villages, why don't they go home?" Li Xiu finally asked a little strangely, the eight villages within a radius of ten miles are not far away, wouldn't living in the workshop increase the expenses of the workshop? If nothing else, three meals a day must be provided.
"Master, you can't think so, the workshop starts sooner or later, even if the female workers who live in the nearby villages, they also need to go out early and return late, although it is too peaceful now, but there are still some unscrupulous people in some villages, not only am I worried about the safety of the female workers, but even the families of those female workers are also worried, so after thinking about it, I decided to let them all live in the workshop, and they can ask for leave to go back when they have something, and then they will arrange for the fat sister to send them home, after all, if something happens, the reputation of our workshop will be ruined!" Yuechan said with a thoughtful expression at this time.
"I see, Yuechan, you are very thoughtful, I didn't think about it just now!" Li Xiu couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this.
They are not the first to recruit women to work, for example, there are many female tea pickers in the garden of Princess Pingyang's house, but they are mainly long-term workers in the tea garden, and the family eats and lives in the tea garden, which is similar to the tenants. Like the tea workshop, which is somewhat similar to the factory of later generations, so the safety of female workers is indeed a big problem, especially listening to Yuechan said, most of the people who come to work in the workshop are some peasant women who have not come out of the cabinet, mainly because the family is too poor, so they came out to work, and now the security of the Tang Dynasty is far less than that of later generations, if something happens to them, the family will definitely cry to death, so safety must be considered first.
"Master Xie praised, but in this way, we not only have to provide a place to live, but also provide three meals a day, the cost has increased, and the price of tea must also be mentioned, otherwise there will be no profit!" Yuechan spoke again at this time, and she was also shrewd when she spoke, like a profiteer.
"Hahaha~, okay, that's what you want, it's not terrible that the cost has increased, just let those who buy tea pay a little more, Yuechan, you are becoming more and more like a businessman now!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he looked at Yuechan's appearance, but Yuechan was a little embarrassed by his praise.
After Li Xiu stayed in the tea workshop for a while, he was about to go home, but just a few steps away, he saw Wei Zheng and Yang Nong hurrying over and said, "Li sacrifice wine to stay!" (To be continued.) )
