Chapter 5: The End (End)
Compared with Li Yongbo, who is tall and upright in his recent years, the second young master Zhongguan'er has always been taciturn, and he is also a young man who is smoking a strip and has a thin body, it is hard to imagine that he can kick Li Yongbo eight feet away with one kick and kick him into a rolling gourd. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info then stood forward, and kicked the second kick of Li Yongbo, who was heavy and wanted to pounce.
The people in the house were shocked, they were used to seeing Li Yongbo's arrogant appearance, in Fushun Town, the eldest young master of the Li family was famous, and the servants of the Li family had not been beaten by the uncle. But Zhong Guan'er? His temperament, at best, is gentle and elegant, and at worst, he is stuffy, and he can't beat a fart with two sticks.
But just now, Zhong Guan'er, who has always been silent, almost kicked his eldest brother who was used to Weifu out of the house, and then got a second kick, so that he can't get up now!
The people in the room, except for the father and son of the Li family, there were only a few clan elders and Wang Huanzhi left, except for Master Yan, it was not too surprising, and the rest of the people were dumbfounded, and the room was quiet for a while, leaving only the patient to breathe like a tattered bellows.
Li Yongzhong turned around and patted his father's chest twice. Li Qi gasped one breath after another, death was imminent for him. The farce that had just happened could no longer move him. He coughed for a long time, but he just turned his head to look at his eldest son, and then turned his head, refusing to give Li Yongbo, who was paralyzed on the ground, a glance.
Li Yongbo only felt that his head was buzzing, and everything was the same as everything in the plan. Originally, he thought that as long as he brought a few clan elders and elders to see his father Li Qi, he would be able to expel the little bastard from the house immediately, but he thought that all this was just a little effort, so he never thought that there would be a current situation!
The little mongrel kicked him over, and all the pain on his body was still bearable, but he suffered such humiliation in front of everyone, and when he thought of today's events in the future, he was afraid that it would become a joke in his mouth, Li Yongbo gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to gnaw on the mongrel raised by Li Yongzhong's little mother! But he wasn't stupid after all, Li Yongzhong always had to retreat three points against him on weekdays, why was he so bold today!? Several clan elders swore in front of him that they would be upright in the family, but now they have shrunk their eggs! Also, the old man told him how much he loved on weekdays, but now it seems that it is all a lie!
Today's things, in the future, he Li Yongbo will definitely return them one by one! But a manly man, he can bend and stretch, and let that little mongrel be proud at this time, and wait for the future! Li Yongbo's face was cloudy, and finally he got up silently, and he couldn't be ruthless and reluctant to go, and finally stood alone in the corner of the house.
The dead silence in the room was finally broken by the chief steward Li Sanzhong, who bowed his head and bent down and trotted all the way to Li Qi's bedside, and was about to attach it to his ear to report it, Li Qi stopped him and ordered weakly: "Now all the affairs of the family are returned to Zhong Guan'er." ”
Li Sanzhong lifted his eyelids and glanced at Li Qi in disbelief - he didn't want this scene to fall into Li Yongzhong's eyes, he laughed in his heart, his face was still indifferent, and he didn't answer casually.
The chief steward did not dare to delay, he had been in charge of the Li family for decades, from the lowest level of the outer door steward to the current chief steward of the Li Mansion, Li Sanzhong is not a white-haired fox, but also a smart person whose brain turns three times more than others. The order of the master of the Li family, the brother who was standing on the side with his eyebrows on his face, and the middle brother who was standing next to the master's bed - he didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned to Zhong Guan'er and bowed down with his eyebrows lowered and said, "Master Chen has arrived, and now the little guy on the door is leading him over." ”
Li Qi's eyes suddenly became angry, and a sickly blood color appeared on his originally gray and withered skin. He waved his hand violently, "Hurry up and invite Master Chen in!" He tried his best to raise his voice, but he coughed again and again, Li Sanzhong was so frightened that he stumbled out, relieved his breath, Li Qi pressed his young son's hand, and said word by word: "For a while, you will have to answer me for everything!" ”
Li Yongzhong raised his eyebrows, for today, he has endured for several years, and he doesn't want to make any mistakes, but Li Qi said solemnly, he was a dying person, but now he was holding on to sit up straight on the bed, just staring at his young son. Zhong Guan'er had never heard of this so-called Master Chen, but when he saw his father's appearance, he also added three points and responded carefully, saying, "I will listen." ”
Wang Huanzhi's eyes were different, the current situation was simpler than they thought before, originally they thought that the eldest young master Li Yongbo would jump over the wall in a hurry, and attacked Li Yongzhong in the name of Li Qi, but obviously Li Yongbo's straw bales exceeded their imagination, and the Li family's decades-old family members were not dying, and now the situation is very good, obviously there is no need for what they ordered.
But now suddenly a Chen master was born out of the sky, and Wang Huanzhi, the salt master, thought that he had been in the Li family for ten years, and had never heard of the Li family having any close relations with the Chen master, and secretly said in his heart: "This must be the master's backhand." ”
In the passage of the alley, Li Sanzhong carried a plain white lantern in front of him to guide the guests. Master Chen wore a rat gray coat, his back was straight, his two thick eyebrows went straight into his temples, and he looked like a knife and an axe, but his age was not too young. The chief steward never wanted a servant, and personally took the lamp - Li Sanzhong has served Li Qi for decades, what kind of person has not seen it? After taking a look at this old man Chen, Li Sanzhong's face remained unchanged, but he had a vague answer in his heart: This person should eat military rations.
Both of them were men, and their steps were extremely fast, but after a little effort, they arrived outside Li Qi's residence, and Li Sanzhong whispered to the guest: "Master Chen, wait a minute, let me inform my master." ”
The guest chuckled and said, "There is no need to be like this, I have a deep friendship with Brother Li, and I don't need these red tapes." He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and walked in on his own.
Li Sanzhong was dumbfounded, he was stunned, and the guest had closed the door with his backhand, and he was completely locked out of the house. Li Sanzhong had no intention of going in, but now he fulfilled his wish and walked out with his hands behind his back.
The people in the room watched the guest named "Master Chen" slowly and methodically untie the big gun and put it aside, Li Qi on the bed seemed to have added three points of strength, and he was actually holding Li Yongzhong's hand to struggle, his eyes were bright, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of the deepest part of his throat, with hoarseness and excitement: "Brother Chen! ”
The guest hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Li Qi, his thick eyebrows locked, and then pressed Li Qi back to the bed, and then gathered the quilt, before sitting down on the edge of the bed, and after looking at it for a long time, Master Chen sighed heavily, and his voice was heavy: "You and I haven't seen each other for several years, and we finally see each other today, but I didn't think that you were already like this." ”
"There is always a death." Li Qi coughed and gasped for a while, and finally relieved himself, he smiled open-mindedly, "I have been breathing for many years, and I am not at a loss." ”
The guest looked at him fixedly for a while, Li Qi looked at the other party's gaze calmly and fearlessly, and only after a long time did the guest speak in a deep voice: "Now, I don't say anything, my whole family relied on you to survive back then, and now you don't have much time, so you called me here, presumably to ask for something." Master Chen held down Li Qi's thin hand and said word by word: "You said, as long as I can do it, no matter what, I will answer you." ”
"I don't want you to go to the soup." Li Qi trembled and touched his hands to the side, Li Yongzhong hurriedly supported him, and was grabbed by him.
"This is my youngest son, Brother Zhong." Li Qi took a few breaths, didn't look at his young son, and only said to Master Chen sincerely: "Now I can't do it, but the Li family has Brother Zhong, and the family business will not fall, even if his brother complains, but Brother Zhong is a good boy and will never ignore his eldest brother." ”
"What do you mean?" Master Chen asked cautiously: "You know, I can't do business matters." ”
"You don't have to worry about business. I only ask you, is Brother Zhong a good boy? Li Qi refused to relax at all, and only asked the guest: "You just say it." ”
Master Chen turned his head to look at Brother Zhong'er twice, and Brother Zhong also looked at him, only lowering his head slightly, avoiding the overly sharp gaze of the guests as a polite gesture. After a little look, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he turned back to Li Qi and said: "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you really raised a good child." ”
Li Qi's face was full of joy when he heard this, he said three good words in a row, and said, "Brother Chen, the last time I saw you, I'm afraid it was seven or eight years ago?" ”
"Eight years ago."
"When we finally parted, I heard you say that you want to buy flowers for your daughter?"
The guest seemed to be aware, but his personality was frank, and he still bowed his head and said: "The little girl has not yet booked someone." ”
"In that case, I will order your family business for Zhong Guan'er!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it hit everyone's hearts for no reason. Putting aside the elders of the Li family for the time being, Wang Huanzhi's face changed suddenly, Zhong Guan'er had discussed with them to propose to a certain family after filial piety, and they took the other party's small family, and there was no constraint, but now Li Qi's move can be regarded as disrupting their overall plan.
A burst of joy quickly drifted in Li Yongbo's eyes - his daughter-in-law's maiden family is the largest grain merchant in Fushun Town, and it is also famous in the entire southern Sichuan, and Li Yongzhong's Yue family really can't see half of the wealth - he didn't even have a follower to run errands, so he knew that he had no family background, and he heard that Li Qi had saved their whole family before, hum...... The eldest young master of the Li family laughed wildly in his heart, the little bastard, this Yue family, I am afraid that he will not be able to help him for half a point.
Whether it was Wang Huanzhi, who was secretly anxious, or Li Yongbo, who was secretly happy, for the time being, he could only watch Li Qi order Zhong Guan'er to kneel down and kowtow to his future father-in-law, and then take off the personal jade pendant and give it to the other party. Master Chen was just stunned, so he readily responded to Li Qi's request, helped Brother Zhong up, turned his head and said to Li Qi: "I think he is a good boy, and it must be enough for my girl." ”
But he didn't want to, the owner of the Li family was crooked on the pillow, his face was calm, the corners of his mouth were smiling, but his eyes were already closed.
On the twenty-second day of October in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Li family changed into mourning clothes.
