Chapter 167: Conspiracy
Bai Zhi brought in the peach blossom brew, Bai Zhi saw that Nanqiang was bored, and stepped forward and sat down in a hurry.
"I've found out everything about the Li family next door."
Nanqiang didn't raise his eyelids: "I didn't let you inquire about their affairs." ”
Bai Zhi snapped her fingers: "Anyway, I'm bored, I'm familiar with the maids and wives in their mansion as soon as I come and go, don't you lack a snack now, I think this matter in the Li Mansion is very delicious."
This matter of the Li family is simply a conspiracy, full of crises, and ups and downs......"
Nanqiang pushed Bai Zhi's elbow: "If you don't read much, don't chew words there, the gods are chattering a lot of words that I don't understand." ”
Bai Zhi coughed a few times and raised her tone:
"A place of rich and noble pastime where the powerful and the rich sing every night...... Princes and generals, new and new children all gather here. At the foot of the Emperor of Shengjing, it is a prosperous place, and it is also a gathering place where the powerful and powerful gather with each other......"
Nanqiang couldn't help but kick Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi whimpered and pouted: "That's what this storyteller said, why are you kicking me." ”
Huaiqing lowered his head and snickered, Nanqiang twisted his eyebrows, and Bai Zhi avoided his eyes.
"Now in Kyoto, most of the powerful and important ministers are the founding heroes, and the Xiao family is still an important minister in the court after two dynasties, and the Xiao family has been a century-old family by the generation of the lord of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family is huge, and the deep foundation is unimaginable, and the Xiao family has many heirs, and there are many talents.
Previously, the brother Li Jing, the son of the Li family in Kyoto, was outstanding in appearance when he was young, and he was talented and unbeatable in the capital.
At that time, this Langjun who was married had no regrets in this life. It's just that Li is in Shengjing, a place where there are many powerful people, and the Li family is not a big family, and he is not even qualified to invite family members to the palace banquet, and naturally the powerful people did not marry their daughters to him.
The Li family, which is not a big family, Li has always been rumored to be worth studying, if there is no family power and no ability, it is impossible to rise to the top in this Shengjing, but this Li actually can.
The young lady of the Xiao family is full of girlish spring to this handsome son who is rumored to be gentle as jade, and it happened that Li Jinggang was promoted to become an official, and his reputation was even more famous for a while.
For a while, it attracted the powerful who used to look down on him to marry their daughters to him.
Li Jing also urgently needed a powerful family with a solid foundation in the DPRK and China as a need for future career development. The Xiao family was in its heyday at that time, and its power in the court was not to be underestimated.
The daughter of the Xiao family is delicate and beautiful, and her manners are dignified. I heard that the lord of the Xiao family has only one daughter, and the lord of the Xiao family loves this daughter very much, and there were many powerful families who wanted to marry the Xiao family at that time, but none of them were happy with Xiao Yuan, the daughter of the Xiao family.
Li actually wants to marry the Xiao family, and knows that he wants to marry the Xiao family, and knows that the lord of the Xiao family loves his daughter very much, and there is an old ancestor in the family to control the family affairs, so he must first get the consent of the ancestor of the Xiao family and the eldest daughter Xiao Yuan, so he designed to have a relationship with Xiao Yuan.
Li actually saw Xiao Yuan's affectionate eyes on him, and he knew that this marriage was nine out of ten.
Seeing this, the lord of the Xiao family tested Li Jing's intention and persuaded the ancestor of the Xiao family to nod and agree. Soon after, Li Jing went to the mansion to ask for marriage, and the dowry filled the entire backyard of the prime minister's mansion.
Li Jing was said by everyone to be gentle as jade and humble.
The son of the Li family is not only as gentle as jade, but also a soft knife, why is he a son who can't even be counted as a household in the land of Shengjing, where there are many powerful people, so that everyone can know it, why not think about it.
Although the Xiao family is a century-old family, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, which is a blessing and a curse.
Now, when the son ascends the throne, the queen mother is in power. The Xiao family can gain a foothold in the two dynasties, and naturally has extraordinary insight, whether the Xiao family marries a wife or daughter, they are all spreading branches and leaves, penetrating deep everywhere, and stabilizing their foundation.
The lord of the Xiao family can choose Li Jing, naturally he knows who Li Jing is, and the Xiao family takes a fancy to Li Jing, which is to take a fancy to Li Jing's talent and future prospects.
Li actually married the daughter of the Xiao family, and the husband and wife can be regarded as a good story after marriage.
Xiao Yuan is also taking care of the Li family and serving his mother-in-law, Li actually took advantage of the Xiao family's power in the court, as well as his own ability, to have a smooth career and rise all the way.
The following year, the two gave birth to their eldest son, and another year later they gave birth to a younger daughter, but the younger daughter died young.
The daughter died early, Li actually ignored it at all, Xiao Yuan was originally a strong character, he did not support the Xiao family all the year round, but raised it in his grandfather's house, and the uncles and aunts in his grandfather's family regarded it as a pearl in their palms, almost responsive, Xiao Yuan's temperament was naturally more pampered.
Li actually chose to take a concubine at that time, Xiao Yuan was angry, and it didn't take long for him to find a reason casually and sell the concubine.
Since then, the Li family and his wife have had many faces and discords.
Li Jing treats Xiao Yuan coldly, and Xiao Yuan is too lazy to manage his concubines, no matter how chaotic this Li Mansion is, no matter how embarrassing it is, it is also his Li Jing's business.
Xiao Yuan thought about his father as a support, even if Li actually didn't like him, didn't he still want to sing?
The days went on like this, Xiao Yuan didn't listen to the complicated things in the house, nor did he care about the troubles between the mother-in-law and the concubine, and he was with her children every day.
She went to the palace to invite the officials' families, but the officials' families refused the invitations one by one. When Xiao Yuan first entered the Li Mansion, he would still go there often for the sake of his husband, but now he feels disgusted with himself and simply calls himself sick.
Later, Li actually took more and more concubines, and Mrs. Li Xiao Yuan also opened one eye and closed one eye at first, but then she suddenly couldn't bear it for some reason.
The incident we climbed the corner of the wall to eavesdrop on before was deliberately made by Xiao Yuan for Li Jing to see.
In the past two years, Li Jing's career has been smooth, and he has risen all the way, and Li Jing and the Xiao family have often interacted, but now the husband and wife don't even want to save face on the surface.
Early this morning, Xiao Yuan shouted that he wanted to listen to the play, and he actually found several theater troupes to enter the house in the past two hours.
Now there is such a big movement next door, which is to set up a theater in the backyard.
It seems that there should be a drama to watch tonight. ”
Bai Zhi said a lot, Nanqiang just felt bored, Bai Zhi frowned: "Could it be that what I said is not beautiful enough?" Why didn't you react at all. ”
Nanqiang took a sip of wine: "The Li family's internal affairs, how can we react." ”
Nanqiang glanced at Huaiqing, and Huaiqing thought so.
Bai Zhi was angry: "Don't you think that this Li is too affectionate, a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge?!" ”
Huaiqing teased: "You are a man, don't you want to have three wives and four concubines like him, and the future is limitless?" ”
Bai Zhi exclaimed: "Of course I don't want to!" ”
Bai Zhi turned her head and glanced back at Nanqiang: "Tonight's meal, what do you want to eat, hurry up and say, lest you get too late to go." ”
