Unlike the strict and upright Li family, the Liu family's mansion is not so strictly ruled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Coming in from the street door, walking through the hanging flower door, on both sides is the same backyard of the hand verandah, in the middle of the patio is open, different from the general people's sense of crampedness. The main hall of the main courtyard is divided into two places by a screen, and a Huanghuali four-legged horseshoe girdle drum table is placed in front of it, with four drum piers, which is the daily hospitality place on weekdays. Only those guests who have a close friendship with the host's family or who are of high status can welcome the screen, and the host and guest sit down in turn.

However, Liu Sankui saw that his nephew had never been in the main hall, he had been in contact with his uncle's family since he was a child, and he was already very familiar, and every time he came, the steward welcomed him into Liu Sankui's front yard study without instructions. It's the same today, but in the past, Li Yongbo would still say a few words of greeting to the Liu family steward who watched him grow up, but today he was in a hurry, and he almost left the steward behind.

The head of the Liu family wore a Taoist robe today, with a big coat on the outside, and only tied his hair with a net towel on his head, which was leisurely. When the next person reloaded the tea vessel, he rolled up his sleeves and brewed a cup for Li Yongbo with his own hands, while saying with a light face: "So, what are you planning to do in this situation?" ”

Li Yongbo's hand that was about to reach out to serve the tea suddenly stiffened, and a look of embarrassment flashed on his face. He coughed, sat up straight in the circle chair, and replied respectfully: "I came to the door of my uncle's house today to focus on this matter. ”

"Oh?" Liu Sankui put the teacup, which was only one bite-size, on the table in front of his nephew, and asked casually: "Landing on me?" ”

"Exactly!" Eager to fit on the table, looking at Liu Sankui with a pair of pleading eyes, Li Yongbo couldn't wait to speak: "Some time ago, my nephew and I made a good deal with Wu Laosan near the east gate, and I didn't notice it for a while, and sold the salt to him by mistake, forgetting that I have to pay taxes on salt these days. Now there are only less than 2,000 catties of salt in the warehouse, and there is still a long way to go from the quota of the well site! borrowed from several other merchants, but also said that there was none. Speaking of this, Li Yongbo couldn't help grinding his teeth, then he stood up and cleaned up his clothes, bowed at Liu Sankui, and said in a deep voice: "My nephew is here to ask for help with my uncle!" Uncle Wanwang looked at his mother's face and saved my whole family! ”

Liu Sankui gave him a hand, his face did not change, and he only said, "You sit down first." After Li Yongbo sat down, he lowered his eyes and thought about it, his originally expressionless face gradually showed the heavy and solemn color of his memory, and slowly spoke, but the first thing he said was not about borrowing salt: "Your mother is my eldest sister, when she was sixteen years old and married your father, I was only a young student, but my eldest sister treated me and my brother very well, and now I still remember my sister's voice and appearance." ”

As he spoke, his voice changed to stern: "My sister has only one son under her knees, she is unfortunate in her youth, and she went early, leaving only you, the only son." You were sick when you were young, and your sister and brother-in-law were more pampered because of this, but they didn't want to love your temperament! ”

Saying that, Liu Sankui slapped it the case, the teacup was shaken and jumped on the spot, and he continued violently: "Now that you can't do martial arts, what kind of character is your brother-in-law?" Raise such a stingy and stingy gentleman of yours! How long has it been now? It turned out to be a posture that was about to be defeated! ”

Li Yongbo listened to his reprimand, panicked in his heart, his legs were soft noodles, his knees were bent somehow, and he knelt on the ground. He climbed to Liu Sankui's feet a few times, hugged his uncle's legs and cried: "Uncle! Uncle! My nephew knows that he can't make it, but my mother only has a little blood and bones, uncle, you don't look at your nephew's family, you always have to look at my mother's face! Save me! ”

Liu Sankui snorted from his nose, glared at him with hatred, and as if he was afraid of being hurt by his virtue, he quickly moved away. I only heard Liu Sankui sigh: "I only have a nephew like you, how can I not hope for you?" You've disappointed me so much! My brother-in-law doted on you when he was alive, but what about you? Too much of a bastard on weekdays! This disappointed my brother-in-law, and I couldn't rest assured before leaving, so I entrusted the Li family to your younger brother Zhongguan'er! ”

It's okay not to mention Li Yongzhong, but when he mentions his name, it is like a fire thrown into Li Yongbo's chest, burning the heart, liver, intestines and lungs, and burning the lungs and intestines in an instant, burning his blood and qi all over his body. He straightened up suddenly, the tails of his eyes were red, and he said in a loud voice: "Uncle Hugh mentioned the name of that little bastard!" Don't say he's brother to me! I don't have such a cold-hearted brother! ”

Liu Sankui was noncommittal, only poured a sip of tea, and said quietly: "Zhong Guan'er's mother is a generous lady married to her brother-in-law Ming Media after all, which is different from others. Besides, there are only two of you brothers in the Li family's big house, and your brother is a very capable person, so it is right not to hurt the harmony. After saying this, he frowned and sighed, and said: "Even so, after all, the elders and young are different, and the brother-in-law is shrewd, and he is also confused in this matter when he is dying." ”

He moved slightly in the circle chair, then bent down and reached out to pick up his nephew, and said with relief: "Now this matter is not at the end of the mountain, don't worry, don't worry." Speaking of this, Liu Sankui had a bunch of flesh on his cheeks, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a gentle and charitable smile was raised, and his words were seductive: "Uncle Guan'er, uncle, I have an idea, not only can I solve your crisis, but you and I can also help each other in the future, but I don't know what you think?" ”

Li Yongbo suddenly got up, left Li Yongzhong behind, and respectfully gave Liu Sankui a look, and he just patted his chest with a big bag, and said flatteringly: "The idea that my uncle said must be good!" Where is the reason why the nephew does not listen? He paused, with a bit of caution in his tone, and said with a little hesitation: "It's just that I don't know what my uncle's idea is......"

"Your uncle and I often moved around Jiangnan when we were young, and we made friends with several Hui merchants. Later, he returned to Sichuan for the sake of his family business. When I was in Anhui, I often had in-laws, or the family of world friends, you mixed shares in my family, I mixed shares in your family, shared profits, shared interests, Hui businessmen's family often has a big one, relying on this. Liu Sankui paid attention to Li Yongbo's expression and said eloquently: "In today's business today, small businesses are not sustainable, and it is necessary to wait for big businesses and big shops to win." Speaking of this, he looked at Li Yongbo, smiled, and said meaningfully: "Li Jiajingchang is famous in the east of Sichuan, but in the current situation, your two brothers are only half of each, and they are no longer in the past situation." Uncle I have a thought, the Liu family receives fifty percent of the shares of the Li family's well field, and only takes three percent of the profits, in the future, the Liu and Li families will be mixed together, and they will advance and retreat together, once this is the case, not to mention Fushun, it is the entire eastern Sichuan, and it is also the world of our uncle and nephew! ”

Li Yongbo was shocked by Liu Sankui's words and broke out in a cold sweat, although he was a fool inside, but after all, he was also carefully taught by Li Qi for more than ten years, and he was not all stupid. Liu Sankui's words seem to be very reasonable, very beautiful, but one is not good, he Li Yongbo's name will change his surname to Liu! His face changed several times, cloudy and sunny, and the weather was warm and cold, making him sweat and sweat!

Liu Sankui looked uncertain when he saw him, and he was not in a hurry, but just lightly threw out another thunder: "Last time I went to see you, I saw my niece and daughter-in-law and my nephew and grandson, poor thing, I was sick and broken at a young age, what's the matter?" Your big house is already thin, and your heirs are more important than others. He poured tea for Li Yongbo's cup, watching the hot flow gurgling down from the mouth of the pot, Liu Sankui said faintly: "Uncle Guan'er, you only have one child under your knees now, if Brother Zhang has something bad in the future...... Even if you have thousands of family wealth, which one will you leave to then? ”

If Li Yongbo was still worried about it before, then now Liu Sankui's words are on his heart. The eldest son, Brother Zhang, had another fever in the spring, although the doctor who came to see the doctor said that it was fine, but since last winter, Brother Zhang has almost never gotten out of bed, not only Chen, but also quite worried about the eldest son's health. And although the concubine Yihong likes him, she is from a bad background after all. Therefore, the heir is already a big worry in Li Yongbo's heart.

"So, uncle, I have a thought here." Liu Sankui looked at Li Yongbo, his face showed a little satisfaction, a different color flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke: "Your third cousin, just after the end of last month, there is such a daughter under your uncle's knees, and your aunt also loves her well-behaved, so you must choose a son-in-law for her." Your cousin, Dejong, is a good worker, but she is only in the position of a concubine, and this marriage is not embarrassing. ”

Li Yongbo's heart gradually became like a drum, his mouth was dry, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked tentatively: "What does uncle mean ......?" ”

"Your daughter-in-law has also worked hard for her over the years, and your yard is also thanks to your daughter-in-law presiding over the feed, I think, you are in good health, Brother Zhang'er is weak and afraid that he will follow his mother, you can choose a good concubine, abundant heirs, and also find a brother who can help Brother Zhang. And what the uncle means, first, is a loving father's heart, and wants to find a home for your cousin, second, to kiss the Liu and Li families again, and third, "He smiled slightly, looked at Li Yongbo's eyes, and deliberately accentuated his tone: "You and I have been close since then, and we can conspire to do great things!" ”

There was a fire in his chest, but it was no longer the previous fire of heat and depression, Li Yongbo only felt that now this fire was so hot that he couldn't sit still, he could only stand up, his legs were light and fast, his nose was open outward, he gasped for a few breaths, and his eyes were going to burn red! With a ruthless heart, Li Yongbo put aside all the chaotic thoughts in his chest, knelt down in front of Liu Sankui, kowtowed three times on the terrazzo bluestone brick floor, and then straightened his waist and called affectionately: "Father-in-law, please bow to your son-in-law!" ”
