Chapter 113: Daddy's Summons (2)
Li Tianyu saw that his father looked serious and serious, and knew that he could no longer joke with him. So he told his father about the story of rescuing Qin Yuyan twice. It's just that he omitted the part where he tried to tease the little Lori and those matters related to the Salt Gang, and the younger brothers of the Salt Gang who bullied Qin Yuyan were also replaced by hooligans and bullies. There is also no mention of the irrelevant content that answered on the painting boat how the Qin family smuggled salt. When it comes to the conflict between himself and Na Ge Gongzi on the ship, he portrays Na Ge Gongzi as a heinous, arrogant and domineering typical evildoer, and he is a chivalrous man who sees injustice and draws a sword to help him. As for today's conflict with Na Ge Gongzi and the identity of the evil force leader of Ge Gongzi's salt gang, there is no mention of it.
"In this way, it is not unreasonable for this Qin family to marry your daughter." Although our father Li was wary of this Qin family's move, after listening to Li Tianyu's words, he also knew a little. After all, in the eyes of the ancients of their feudal thoughts, these things of gratitude and gratitude are no longer normal, and they are often rumored to be beautiful talks, and at the same time, they have also laid a good reputation for their own family in the township. After all, in these days, as long as you are in business, even if you have money, it is only an unpopular class in society. Therefore, this business has always regarded reputation above money. What's more, the Li family is still this official family, how can this not make the Qin family, who is in business, tempted? After thinking about this, our father Li didn't have any more doubts.
"The most important thing in this girl's life is her own innocence, even if she loses her life, she can't lose her innocence. Bao'er, since you have rescued Miss Qin, you are naturally kind to the Qin family, so it is not surprising that the Qin family would do this. "Obviously, after listening to Li Tianyu's story, our mother Li also instantly understood the reason why the Qin family would do this.
At this time, only our Li Tianyu is still in doubt, after all, his thinking is still very different from the values of this contemporary feudal society. And of course he didn't know that the reason why Master Qin decided on this family affair was also because of Qin Yuyan's little Lori and Li Tianyu's talent in this smuggler of salt, as well as the incompatible relationship between Li Tianyu and Na Ge Gongzi. Li Tianyu only knew that he was nothing more than saving Qin Yuyan's little Lori by the way, and then happened to board her painting boat to help her solve the embarrassing scene on her birthday. This really can't be a promise to be made on this body, not to mention that she pretended to tease her before and was taken seriously by her, but she put on colored glasses on herself. The reason why Li Tianyu is so puzzled is undoubtedly because he is too preconceived. After all, the girls of this era still abide by the etiquette, how can they be compared with the great women who have long been equal to men and women and have the protection of the Women's Federation that he saw every day in later generations?
"Master, look, since the Qin family also plans to marry his family's daughter to our family's treasure, what should we do?" Our mother Li is very optimistic about these Lang's rambling and moving stories, so she also has the heart to promote such a beautiful conversation.
"Bao'er, what do you think about this?" saw that Li Jiacheng did not answer our mother Li, but asked Li Tianyu like this.
"Don't hide it from Dad, the child still can't figure it out. If it was really just because the child had rescued Miss Qin, that the Qin family made such a decision, the child didn't want to believe it. ”
"Isn't that enough, you kid? Could it be that you still want to let the Qin family have some other reasons? You must know that when your mother married your father at the behest of the family, she never saw your father at all. ”
"Hehe, Madame is so decent, what is it to mention this. Bao'er, I see that you seem to be surprised by this Qin family's move? Li Jiacheng smiled embarrassedly, and remembered that when he had eaten before, this Bao'er was also very surprised after hearing that the Qin family was going to marry him, so he couldn't help asking. Of course, at the moment, Li Jiacheng can be regarded as knowing the reason for the Qin family's move, but it is not easy to explain these matters on the spot.
"Oh, the child just felt that it was a little too sudden, beyond the scope of the child's acceptance, so he couldn't pay attention to it for a while."
"You child, what else is there to care about this marriage between a man and a woman. If you say so, then you can pay attention to the Han family and your Uncle Liu's family? ”
"Well, Mommy is wise. The child is willing to bow down! ”
"Wait! What do you say, ma'am? The Han family?! What happened to the Han family? Is it the scholarly Han family? Li Jiacheng was shocked when he heard Li's mother say another Han family.
"Back to the master, it is the scholarly Han family. If it's true, how did all these things get to today? ”
"Madame is saying this, is it possible that the Han family is also ......."
"That's right, sir. The old Mr. Han of the Han family came to our Li Mansion today to propose marriage. Not long before the old man came back, Mr. Han had just left. No, after the concubine body just sent away Mr. Han, she ushered in the old man and Lord Liu again. ”
"I said, why did Madame and Bao'er stand at the door in advance to greet me and Lord Liu in advance before the prophet knew it. It turned out that Mrs. went to send off Mr. Han. Mrs. said that the Han family came to our Li Mansion to propose marriage. This is also strange, but our Li Mansion and his scholarly Han family have never had any friendship. ”
"That's not it. Not only the master, but even the concubine felt very strange at first. But if you want to blame, you can only blame this treasure for being too sought-after. ”
"Oh? Bao'er, why did you tell me why the Han family came to propose? ”
"The child doesn't explain this. Dad, whatever you want. ”
"This kid is getting naughty and naughty. I'm afraid that now my mother and your father can't control you anymore. That's the case, old man, ......" After Mother Li glared at Li Tianyu dotingly, she began to tell Li Jiacheng how Li Tianyu won the Han family's hydrangea and how he was favored by the Han family.
"That's right. Bao'er, as a father, I didn't expect you to be getting more and more powerful now. can even be appreciated by this scholarly Han family. Li Jiacheng's words are from the bottom of his heart, because he also understands the old Mr. Han of the scholarly Han family, a typical pretentious and arrogant reader. He has always only looked at people based on talent and character, never caring what your identity and family background are. Even if you are a relative of the emperor, as long as you are not good in learning and morality, you will not be able to enter the eyes of his old man.
"What about that? Today, this Bao'er even made things difficult for Mr. Han. Anyway, Mr. Han also came to the door to propose to our family in person, this Bao'er is good, and he doesn't take into account Mr. Han's feelings at all, but fortunately, Mr. Han is not angry. Otherwise, if our Li Mansion provokes the Han family, I am afraid that we will inevitably be scolded by others behind our backs in Jiangsu. After remembering the scene at that time, our mother Li couldn't help but say in shock.
"Oh? Is it? Bao'er, this is your mistake, the Han family is also the scholarly Han family admired by the emperor, and Mr. Han is a model in the eyes of our Tang Dynasty readers, and he is quite respected. Don't look at my father as the governor of Jiangsu, if you talk about this influence alone, our Li Mansion is not as good as the Han family. ”
"Dad, Mom, what do you think of the child?"
"Oh? What does this mean? Asked by this, our father Li and mother Li were stunned, and the two couldn't help but look at each other, their four eyes were full of doubts, and then our father Li asked.
"Dad, Mom, don't hide it from your second elder, in fact, what the child said to Mr. Han today is not disrespectful. Your second elder also saw it today, and Uncle Liu also planned to marry Miss Naruoran to the child. If the child had agreed to come down to the Han family before, what should Uncle Liu do with him? "Hey, in fact, I have already discussed these things with the old man Han, although he was finally kicked out of the Han family by him at that time, but judging from his attitude and tone, I have already thought about this. Especially the sentence "everything is up to you" that he passed on, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to my arrangement. It's just that my parents don't know anything about the Han family, and now I've become this heinous person.
"This ......" I saw that our Li father and Li mother were speechless for a while, obviously their two elders did not realize that there would be such a question.
"If it is just to make this old Mr. Han and the Han family happy, and agree to it like this, it is also deceiving the relationship between Mr. Han and the Han family, in this way, it is really disrespectful to this old Mr. Han and the Han family. After all, the child is so old, and knows how to deal with many things, how can he still stubbornly make things difficult for others? What's more, this matter not only involves the child's lifelong event, but also involves the name of the Han family and our Li family, how can the child respond casually and not think about it? Li Tianyu said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.
"You kid, you have a point. How could my mother have imagined that there would be so many families to propose to our Li Mansion? And each of them is a famous person in Yangzhou. I think your father is the governor of Jiangsu, this official is not small, but isn't he still married as a mother? What's more, which of these daughters is not in our Yangzhou to teach people to line up and come to the door to propose marriage? It's just that your child is an exception, and you can let people take the initiative to come to our family in advance, and there are still several families together. Mother Li said while thinking, and in the end, she was angry and laughing.
"This is very simple, it means that children are popular, the stars hold the moon, and it is suitable for all ages. The more outstanding the handsome, the more those famous families feel that it is their dish, oh, that is, the more they feel that they are the right family, so they don't want to miss any of them, so everyone comes to propose at the same time. Oh, Dad, I don't mean to say that you are not as popular as children, like Mom, who is much more outstanding than children, and only Dad, you can be worthy of it. Li Tianyu said and saw that there seemed to be a black line on his father's face, and hurriedly slapped the horse like this, but it was a slap or two, and it also made Li's mother cry and laugh.
"Well, well, since Bao'er can have such vision and foresight, then it can be regarded as a father who is relieved. However, Bao'er, if there is any major event next time, you must inform me and your mother in time, because we are also the elders of the family, and you are also our children. ”
"The child obeys! Obey your old teachings, children! "Hey, it's not that I don't want to say it, but these things are still in the unknown stage and full of variables, so how can I be embarrassed to say it? How embarrassing it would be if it ended up falling short. So I had to win steadily, wait for the matter to be completely finalized, and cook the raw rice to maturity, just like with Mengyao, before I can say it with great fanfare. But Meng Yao still can't say anything about this now. Anyway, who would have thought that a few of them would directly kill them today?
"Master, this matter of the Han family and the Liu family can be regarded as coming down. What about this Qin family? After this interruption, the two of them forgot the Qin family that they were originally going to talk about.
"What is Madame's opinion?"
"Since the Qin family also took the initiative to propose marriage, what else can the concubine say? Anyway, if you refuse, you will go to the Qin family and say it. "Since our mother Li inquired about Li Tianyu's heroic deeds of saving beauty, she has intended to promote this beautiful marriage in her heart.
In this case, it is settled. Boa, do you have anything to say? ”
"This ...... The child has nothing to say, everything is up to you and your mother. After Li Tianyu heard his father's words, he didn't know what he meant for a while, so he had to respond so casually.
"This is good, master, I'm afraid our Li Mansion will be much more lively in the future. By the way, master, the concubine almost forgot, and the Kang family also came to the door today...... "After all, our mother Li has lived with this Li Jiacheng for decades, how can I not know what he meant."
"Poof...... What do you say, ma'am? And the Kang family? This, how can so many families come to our house at the same time to propose marriage? "But when I saw that our father Li had just picked up a cup of tea and drank it in his mouth, he squirted it out. Fortunately, Li Tianyu saw the situation and hurriedly dodged and escaped his father's mouth squirting tea.
"Not really, sir. Tell me what we should do. Seeing Li Jiacheng like this, Mother Li couldn't help but sneer, and then said this deliberately.
"This, I didn't expect our Bao'er to not go out much before, but now after going out, it can attract the favor of so many families." Father Li looked at Li Tianyu with a smile and said.
"Dad, don't listen to your mother say this, she deliberately amused you like this."
"Madame, you're joking with your husband too."
"How dare you be a concubine. Master, Master Na Kang said that he would hand over part of his Kang family's cloth business in Yangzhou to our family Bao'er, the daughter of the Liu family and his Miss Kang family to jointly take charge. ”
"Oh? I've never heard this talk about it. ”
"I don't know about this concubine, anyway, Lord Liu's daughter came with the Kang family at that time."
"Well, that's kind of interesting." Li Jiacheng was very interested in the Kang family's request. As long as you don't do things that harm the people, if the rest is something that is beneficial to yourself and harmless to the people, why not do it? Otherwise, there would be no point in deserving the official. Therefore, although he has never accepted bribes from others openly, he has secretly obtained convenience for himself. Take the Juxianzhuang Restaurant as an example, he just sent a plaque, but he can exchange it for the privilege of free consumption in this restaurant at any time. At present, the Kang family is also very knowledgeable, and they know how to show favor like this, which does not violate the laws of my Tang Dynasty, but also benefits my Li Mansion. This Mr. Kang is really worthy of being a wealthy businessman in Beijing and Jiangsu.
"However, although the Kang family only said this request, the concubine can see that Master Na Kang also intends to ask our family on behalf of her daughter."
"Oh?"
"What? Mom, how do you see that? "Li Tianyu is even more surprised than our father Li, after all, he and Miss Na Kang have only met two or three times, and every time they meet, they feel a little bit of a narrow road, how is this possible? Even if it doesn't matter to herself, is Miss Nakang likely to agree? If Qin Yuyan's little Lori might agree, it was because he had saved her twice. But this Miss Kang's words, the first time they met, she deceived her Kang's old house, and made her lose face in public.
"My mother also came from getting married, so why can't I see Miss Kang's mood today? And when Master Kang talks about you, he always doesn't forget to glance at the shy Miss Kang next to him, how can he not see this Master Kang's thoughts? ”
"It turned out that although this Master Kang didn't mention a word, he deliberately did it for his wife. I guess he was testing our family's tone. "Then Master Kang has been in the shopping mall for decades, and he has made the Kang family's business so big, he must already be an old man, how could Li Jiacheng not know this?
"That's what the concubine thinks." After our mother Li said that, she didn't forget to glance at Li Tianyu who was standing on the side. Although she didn't want to interfere too much in the private affairs of Li Tianyu's children, but now these families are all in Yangzhou, and as the mother of the Li Mansion, how can she be completely laissez-faire.
"Bao'er, you are telling the truth to your father now, how many daughters still have something to do with you?" After Father Li saw that there were suddenly so many in-laws in the Li Mansion, he couldn't help but be worried. To say that these daughters are going to come to the Li Mansion in the future and become the young grandmother of the Li Mansion, in this way, the relationship between the Li Mansion and the outside is really a bit complicated, and it is bound to have some impact on herself, the governor of Jiangsu.
"Back to Dad, even the children themselves don't know about these things. Then Miss Kang, the child has only met her twice, how could he have thought that Master Han would have such a mind? Could it be that my mother was wrong, maybe it was because Mr. Nakang was unwell today and had cramps in the corners of his eyes, so he was misunderstood by his mother. ”
