When he really returned to the Li Mansion, it was already three poles of the sun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

sent the entourage to receive the reward and rest, but Li Yongzhong himself dragged Wang Huanzhi to the study in the outer courtyard, and after sitting down, he thought about it, and called Wutong: "You call Li Sanzhong to come, just say that you have something to discuss with him." ”

Wang Huanzhi's face showed a little satisfaction: he has been friends with Li Sanzhong for more than ten years, and now that Li Qi has died, Li Yongzhong, the new head of the family, has a delicate relationship with the chief steward of the Li Mansion, no matter in which way, such a situation is not what Wang Huanzhi is happy to see. From the personal contacts of the master's family to the trivial matters between the servants, Li Sanzhong knows everything clearly, Li Yongzhong is capable, but he is young after all, and he is not married, and the shortness of the family is not a woman's privilege, in Master Wang's opinion, the young family master should especially know more about private matters.

He then took the initiative to say: "The owner is now willing to use the big manager, which is very good, after all, he is an old man in the house, and he has been cold to him, and he is prone to trouble." ”

Li Yongzhong smiled slightly and said: "Since Uncle Li's grandfather, his family already has a son in my family, a real family child, and my family shares weal and woe, I am still young, and I still need Uncle Li's guidance in family affairs." ”

This sentence happened to be heard by Li Sanzhong, who walked to the door, and his heart was also hot. It's not that he didn't have a bad idea about Li Yongzhong's precautions against him before, but Li Sanzhong has been acting in the Li family for decades, and he is thoughtful, and no one does not say a good word, not relying on the face of his father and ancestors. Now that Li Yongzhong is willing to use him again, it can be described as great news for this chief steward who does not plan to retire early.

Thinking of this, he was a little more respectful, slightly dressed properly, he hung his hands outside the door, and motioned for Wutong to sign up: "Zhong Guan'er, the chief steward has arrived." ”

Li Yongzhong called the master and the steward, not for anything else, but for the marriage that Li Qi engaged him before he died.

Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, the life of parents, and the words of matchmakers. But in Mr. Lee's case, the situation has changed again. Before Chen Xianda appeared, he had never heard of the existence of this person, and he knew nothing about the past in Chen Xianda's mouth. If he knew Liu Sankui's evaluation of the marriage arranged by Li Qi before his death, then Li Yongzhong would have found that he and Li Yongbo's uncle had a common language on this point.

Li Yongzhong couldn't refuse this marriage, and he couldn't refuse it. Even if Chen Xianda is like Liu Sankui said, at least for now, Li Yongzhong has to try his best to feed him. However, Li Yongzhong believes that this is not the case. He is not a real young man, and he can still tell the difference between true feelings and false feelings.

was spinning his thoughts wildly, and heard Wutong outside the door saying that the chief steward had arrived. Li Yongzhong coughed and said, "Come in." ”

Li Sanzhong hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in, Wutong closed the door behind him, and squeaked, causing the chief steward's heart to jump.

The chief steward of this outer study is no stranger, and many places are arranged by himself with his own hands. In the years when Li Qi was alive, he came to the outer study room the most, except for Wang Huanzhi. The chief steward served Li Qi from an ordinary salt household to an important salt merchant in eastern Sichuan. It can be said that Wang Huanzhi may not be clear about the secrets of many families on the ground of Fushun, but Li Sanzhong must know everything.

"Zhong Guan'er." Li Sanzhong lowered his head and looked at the ground in front of his toes, and his posture was a long-lost respect. His father was the housekeeper of the old lady who died early in the Li family, and he himself followed Li Qi for decades, but Li Sanzhong had to say that the Li family had three generations, and only this youngest could not be understood - when Li Qi's father died early and supported the door independently, his father was still alive, saying that the Li family should be carried forward in Li Qi's hands, but now that Li Qi has died, he found that he didn't know what Li Yongzhong wanted to do and what he wanted to do.

Li Yongzhong pointed to the round stool under his head, "Sit." ”

Li Sanzhong opened the hem of his clothes, carefully sat on the round stool and half-pulled his buttocks, and looked at it from Li Yongzhong's point of view, and there were four words written on the face of the chief steward: Respectful. He smiled in his heart, and he didn't intend to ridicule Li Sanzhong. In the past, he had limited contact with the chief steward, no, it should be said that the chief steward and the two young masters of the Li Mansion maintained a comfortable distance from the family, and when Li Yongzhong was in charge of the house today, Li Sanzhong would certainly find it tricky, but the young head of the family did not feel troublesome.

"Zhang's ...... It's the in-laws of the Liu family, how much do you know? ”

The chief steward groaned for a while, and then said: "The old lady of the Zhang family is called Zhang Ping, and when the family was doing white things, Mrs. Zhang brought the old man and young master of the Zhang family to give the master a round of incense. There are seven wells in his house, but half of them are shallow pit old wells, and the new wells are still opened by Mrs. Zhang who came to his house in person and invited craftsmen to open them. ”

"The young master of the Zhang family, now go to Fuxue?" The master, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Exactly. Zhong Guan'er is too busy to pay much attention to the details......" The chief steward replied cautiously, paused for a moment, and glanced at the young man on the main seat - Li Yongzhong had no other expression, and there was no joy or anger on his young and smooth face, and when he saw him stop talking, he urged him: "Go on." ”

"Yes, yes." The chief steward swallowed his spit and said, "The villain has sent an inkstone to the Zhang family on behalf of Zhong Guan'er and a few ingots of good pine smoke and ink. ”

"You've done a good job." Li Yongzhong praised him: "I've been really busy these days, and these chores were also by you in the past. It's up to you to do it now, just write a note afterwards, it's just a matter of money, and you still have to align it with the internal and external account rooms. ”

"Uncle Li, I've been busy, I don't have time, and I haven't talked to Uncle Li about family life." Li Yongzhong's color became more and more gentle, he looked at the chief steward steadily, and said: "Uncle Li has served Dafang for three generations, not to mention the death of my father now, even if my son has to rely on Uncle Li's support in the future, now there are only me and my eldest brother in this generation of Dafang, and ......" He smiled slightly, and the things hidden in his smile were shocking.

"I invite Uncle Li to come today, firstly, for the affairs of the Zhang and Liu families, and secondly, there is no charter in the family now, and the eldest brother is very suspicious of me, and now he refuses to believe my words, although he is a brother, but he may not be able to take the step of separating the family in the future." Li Yongzhong sighed, obviously some of Li Yongbo's actions were also very troublesome to him, but he quickly lifted his spirits and replied: "I have discussed with Master Wang that I will send people to open a new well, I think the eldest brother does not want to see me," he looked at the chief steward and said, "Uncle Li, I want to entrust you with something." ”

Li Sanzhong's heart was already turned upside down, but his face was still steady, hearing Li Yongzhong say that he wanted to entrust him with one thing, his heart jumped and guessed a few points, but his face still did not change, and he just said briefly: "I don't dare to let Zhong Guan'er say that I entrust it, Zhong Guan'er has something to say, and the villain always does his best." ”

"Uncle Li, I want you to tell your eldest brother, although my father entrusted me with all the family business before leaving, I don't dare to trust me so much after all, and after all, my eldest brother is a serious long-term son-in-law, even if it is for the sake of good looks, I am not good at always taking care of the family business. Now there are six new wells in the family and eight old wells, I am willing to share equally with the eldest brother, and in the future, all the salt wells owned by the eldest brother, I will never say much, the salt profits will also belong to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother will share the industry, and the eldest brother will also have to pay money to the public. ”

Li Sanzhong was shocked! He jumped up from the round stool, and when he saw that Li Yongzhong was no different, he knew that the young head of the family had made a decision on this matter. Although he was not close to Li Yongzhong before, he could also understand that the arrangement of the old lady Li Qi before his death was very appropriate, and the eldest young master Li Yongbo was not a dou who could help up! The Li family's business was handed over to him, and it was only corrupted! Thinking of this, this chief steward who has bowed to the essence of the Li family all his life can't help but burst into tears, he pounced on Li Yongzhong and knelt down straight, tears fell, and said earnestly: "Zhong Guan'er, it stands to reason that this is the master's business, the villain is a slave, and he must not be mixed, but Zhong Guan'er listens to my persuasion!" ”

"It took decades of hard work for the owner to save these family businesses! Painstakingly, getting up early and greedy for darkness is the Li family's situation today! Zhong Guan'er, you have also gone down the salt well since you were a child, walked the salt road, and knew that it was hard inside, but Bo Guan'er was spoiled by the master! He is not the one who can keep the family business! ”

Li Sanzhong took a deep breath, didn't care about wiping the tears and snot on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Boguan'er has his own benefits, but none of those benefits should be in the family business!" In terms of entertainment, Boguan'er knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to measure it, which is a good thing, but in the matter of salt, the villain dared to say a word at first glance, and Boguan'er responded to four words, which is useless! ”

Li Yongzhong exchanged glances with Wang Huanzhi, and nodded secretly - although Li Sanzhong is lukewarm with Li Yongzhong, he is a real loyal servant of the Li family, these words, even the Li family is not easy to say, but he is a servant because he is grateful for the master's family for decades, and he is outspoken and outspoken, which is really rare.

The chief steward touched his head again, his face was stained with tears, he straightened up and said: "To put it mildly, the most wrong thing in the protagonist's life is to indulge in all kinds of indulgence because of the weakness of the uncle's child!" Now things can't be chased, but the family business is the owner's hard work with one hand and one foot, Zhong Guan'er considered splitting the family because of filial piety, but the villain wants to say, Zhong Guan'er, this is the next policy! The three generations of my Li Sanzhong family can have today, all because of the trust and value of the long house for decades. Now that there are unscrupulous children and grandchildren in the long house, the villain can't bear to watch the protagonist lose his foundation! ”

This was quite serious, Li Sanzhong thought that even if Li Yongzhong would not be annoyed and angry, he would treat him coldly, but he didn't expect that the young man just supported his chin with his hand and didn't have any angry expression. The big steward gradually sweated on his back afterwards, and it didn't take much effort to wet the close-fitting clothes on his back.

"Although my family is the No. 1 salt merchant in Fushun, there are only six new wells, and salt from old wells is becoming scarce." After being quiet for a while, Li Yongzhong said slowly: "The rest of the salt merchants in Fushun Town are not easy to get along with. I divide the industry into two, of course, there are filial concerns, but it is not entirely so. He stretched out his hand and pressed it to stop Li Sanzhong's intention to speak. The look on the young man's face—the contrived apprehension and the ostentatious sadness—vanished away.

"Now is the best time for my Li family to break the old and establish a new one. Uncle Li, now I ask you, in your heart, is the eldest brother important, or is it more important for my Li family to have hundreds of mouths up and down? ”
