Chapter 224, the plan did not change quickly
As the old saying goes, plans don't change quickly, and the current situation is that the standard is caught off guard.
The original plan had been completely disrupted, and this change made Li Mu very unhappy, and he couldn't stop sighing.
In a short period of time, he couldn't think of a countermeasure, and he didn't know what to do.
In front of his family, Li Mu lost his temper at will, and hurriedly circled around the room, like ants on a hot pot. His mother and sisters ignored him and found a place to sit down and rest.
"Mother, why did grandma leave her eldest sister?" Li Mu asked suddenly.
Li Muniang's expression became solemn, and she said: "I, I don't know very well, maybe, there may be something to ask her!" ”
"You're lying!" Li Mu said angrily, "Do you want the eldest sister to fight for me, wouldn't you hurt the eldest sister by doing this!" ”
Li Muniang's eyes were red, tears couldn't help but fall, and she choked up: "It's about the honor of the family, someone has to come forward to fight, don't blame us, we can't help it." ”
"Confused, confused!" Li Mu stomped his feet and complained, "Let the eldest sister fight for me, once something happens, my son's life will be ruined, do you want me to live in guilt for the rest of my life?" ”
"Aren't you sick, and we're doing it for your own good."
"Can't you beat Shan Tingyan when you're sick? You think too much of me, and I'm confident that with my speed and strength, I can easily beat her. ”
"It's impossible, that slut has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, your eldest brother is not her opponent, and you're too lazy..."
Brother Li was stunned, he knew that his son was better than his mother, presumably what the old lady said was right, I really didn't expect that the second young master of the Li family before would have this disgraceful history.
Think about it, the stubborn master who can scourge the little demon brother will have how much perseverance he will have to practice literature and martial arts, maybe he is just a gentleman.
An hour later, the eldest girl came back in high spirits.
After entering the house, he said to Li Mu and Yan Yuese: "Little brother, the clan elders have made a decision, you don't have to participate in this competition, your condition has not healed, and my sister will fight for you!" ”
"You've already discussed it!" Li Mu said disdainfully, "Leave me as a species, so that the Li family can inherit the lineage, for this purpose, anyone can sacrifice, am I right!" ”
Li Muniang was furious, waved his hand and slapped him, and scolded: "You brute, how can you say such a thing, who is your sister doing this for, not only do you not know gratitude, but you also ridicule her, you are too disappointing for your mother!" ”
Good words are warm in three winters, bad words hurt people and cold in June, Li Mu was ashamed and embarrassed, he was too impatient, but he forgot, the family in the illusion is also kindness, and the family in the illusion is also relatives.
With a plop, Li Mu knelt in front of the eldest sister: "Sister, I was wrong!" ”
The eldest sister's strength is all pretended, but she doesn't want her relatives to be sad, and she doesn't want the younger brother to bear the guilt, so she can't hold on anymore at the moment, so she holds her younger brother in her arms and cries in her arms.
The women in the house were crying bitterly, Li Mu made up his mind that he must not let the eldest sister die for him, this farce must end, how can he let his relatives make such a senseless sacrifice again.
"Sister, mother, go back, don't worry, I know the reason, I listen to you, and I won't insist on participating in the competition."
Several women were not at ease, and they talked a lot of things around him, Li Mu listened dignifiedly, without the slightest impatience, with a sincere attitude, modesty and courtesy.
……
After receiving the reply from the Li family, Shan Tingyan immediately rejected the other party's proposal to replace the person, wrote a new war letter, asked the sender to bring it back to the Li family, and made the content of the war letter public.
The mountain girl's methods are very clever, after she played this hand, it caused a storm in the city, and many people were waiting to see the Li family's jokes, and the Li clan people were naturally disgraced, because of this matter, the clan elders meeting was urgently held again.
The opinions at the meeting were divided into two factions, one group of people believed that even if they knew that they would lose, they could not escape the cowardice, which was not only the face of the family, but also the face of the ancestors, and they could no longer retreat.
There are also some people who think that the little slut of the mountain family is uneasy and kind, which is the queen who has made it clear that he wants to exterminate the Li family.
Although there are many males in the Li family, there is only one single seedling left in the main branch, so even if he loses face, he must protect the bloodline of the Li family.
The two factions did not give in to each other, and argued with each other, and in the end it was the old patriarch who made a decision, the old patriarch was the elder of the main branch, and what he said was still quite weighty.
"The head of my Li family is not in charge, only Brother Mu is left in the younger generation, to tell the truth, his strength is not as good as the girl of the mountain family, if he is in his heyday, there is still a glimmer of life, but after a serious illness, he has no life, I can't allow him to die!"
The old patriarch had already spoken, everyone consciously closed their mouths, and Grandma Li Mu asked in a low voice, "Dad, how do you answer the matter of the war book?" ”
"Resist the war!" The old man paused his crutches, "Most of my sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren died in duels, and now only this single seedling is left, Brother Mu is the hope of our Li family, and the old man will not agree to him to fight if he says anything." ”
The Li family gorgeously refused to fight, and as soon as the news came out, everyone was stunned, and after Li Mu knew about it, he gritted his teeth excitedly, and then laughed.
You have to make up your mind to be shameless earlier, aren't there no such shit things, you have asked for face for generations, how did you come to me, but you want to open it?
My God, what kind of charm do I have, how did I give you the courage to be shameless!
Not to mention that Brother Li complains about the sky, his family has already rushed to a new goal, what goal, of course, is the marriage of the second young master of the Li family.
Once this person is ruthless and shameless, he doesn't care about the ridicule of the outside world, the Li family has nothing to do, and immediately starts to prepare for the marriage of the second young master.
There are a lot of young grandmothers and cousins on the side branches, and there are many women who want to be the main branch of the young grandmother.
The old patriarch planned to marry three daughters-in-law for Li Mu in one go, if he wasn't worried that he would be tired of his great-grandson, the old man would even want to give him all three wives and four concubines.
As a result, the young grandmother's candidate has not yet been determined, and the young master's room has good news, and Jing'er has it.
If this is in normal times, Jing'er's fate will definitely not be better, at best he will be thrown out, or at worst he will be beaten to death.
Now the situation is different, every bone and blood of the main branch is extremely precious, and the old Li family is too late to be happy, who will mention the family rules without interest.
Jing'er's mother is expensive by her son, although she can't be the main room, but a name must not be able to run, the little girl is very happy, happy all day long, a group of maids and old mothers around her are carefully served, and she no longer has to do the work of others.
Brother Xiao Li wants to cry without tears, I'm wronged, that's not mine, it's a good thing done by that waste before, and it has nothing to do with me!
But this kind of thing is not dared to be spoken, it will die, so you can only pinch your nose and endure it.
As a result, the Li Mansion was full of joy, but little Brother Li was restless, suffering all day and night.
In the end, the candidates for the three young grandmothers were finally decided, and the day of the big day was also set, and the Li family breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the young master's wedding and celebrating with the family.
Of course, before that, the Li family had another major event, that is, according to the agreement, they would participate in the ring competition once every 20 years.
Didn't the Shan family disagree with the substitution, why did they still participate in the competition?
These are two different things, in the eyes of the Li family, agreeing or disagreeing is your Shanjia's business, whether to participate in the competition or not is my Li family's business, the Li family just disagrees to let Li Mu fight, but never said that he would not participate in the competition.
The duel in the ring once every twenty years, that is the rule left by the ancestors, it can't be abolished casually, even if you are scolding your mother in your heart, you have to continue this barbaric game.
The fifth day of the sixth month is the day of the ring competition, and in the square in the center of the city, the two families jointly funded the construction of a ring, and the characters of both sides were present to witness this bloody and boring moment.
At the end of the morning, the two families had already arrived, and the mountain family was arrogant, looking at the Li family with disdain and ridicule, the Li family hung their heads, and the crowd was filled with deep sadness.
Li Muniang held the eldest girl's hand tightly, there were no tears in her red and swollen eyes, and her haggard face was full of guilt and reluctance.
The eldest girl fell to her knees and respectfully kowtowed to her three times.
"Mother, forgive your daughter for not being filial in front of you, don't be sad, you must take care of yourself!"
Li Muniang hugged the girl and bit her lip tightly.
Several younger sisters also hugged the eldest sister and sobbed in a low voice.
The eldest sister choked up and said: "Sisters, after I leave, you have to take care of your mother and younger brother, that is the hope of our Li family, don't let him have any accidents, let alone let him avenge me!" ”
Several younger sisters nodded silently, unable to restrain their sadness, and the people surnamed Li around them were also weeping, looking at the eldest lady with both admiration and heartache.
At the moment, Shan Tingyan took the lead in jumping into the ring, looked at the Li family contemptuously, and sneered: "Who in your Li family wants to send that waste to death?" ”
The mountain family laughed, while the Li family glared angrily.
The eldest girl stood up, hugged her mother, and turned to walk towards the ring.
Before she could reach the ring, she heard a thunderclap shouting: "Slut, don't be rampant, your Grandpa Li is here, don't scare your dog's guts!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and then, the crowd on one side was in chaos, and a person rushed in from the periphery and jumped into the ring.
The eldest girl woke up from the initial shock, and when she saw the comer clearly, she was so frightened that she shouted loudly: "Little brother, don't mess around, come down quickly!" ”
An old man of the mountain family saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately waved to the back, and a large number of strong people from the mountain family rushed up, surrounded the ring, and blocked the Li family from the periphery.
The Li family also reacted, and they didn't need to be instructed by their elders, everyone rushed forward together, and a fight was about to break out.
Li Mu shouted: "Stop me, otherwise I'll kill her!" ”
The two families looked at him together, and then they both opened their mouths wide, and they were collectively stunned!
