Chapter 6: Talking about the Collapse
Li Jingqiu has always wanted wind and rain at home, which is majestic, and when he heard this, he immediately glared: "What's wrong?" ”
Li Xuezhu thought secretly for a while, frowned, and said, "Don't worry, let me think about any better way." ”
"What's there to think about here? When you get married, you'll know it at first sight. ”
Li Xuezhu: "How can it be so simple? You can mess around no matter how you go out alone, but if you want to marry that woman into the door of the Li family, it is a family matter, and it is not so easy. ”
Li Jingqiu: "It's just a concubine, and it's not a wife in the main room, what's the matter?" ”
Li Xuezhu: "That's not going to happen. ”
Li Jingqiu: "Why can't it be?" If I like her, I want to marry her, what does it matter to the family? ”
Li Xuezhu: "Right now, at the juncture of my father's promotion, your relationship with Miss Yan is of great significance. The Yan family is a scholarly family that pays attention to rules and etiquette, and there is only this one young lady, and now it is given to our family, even if you want to mess around, wait for Miss Yan to come over! Before the marriage was completed, a concubine room appeared, in case someone picked on it, what should it be? Of course, this is a big deal for the whole family! ”
Li Jingqiu was unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't think of anything to refute her.
Li Xuezhu said again: "Who you like and who you want to be good with, that's the business of you and her, and others can't care; But when it comes to talking about marriage, it becomes a matter of two families, and you can't just think about yourself. ”
"My wife said yes, why did you stop me?"
Li Xuezhu: "You are not raised by your wife, if she doesn't agree, won't others say that she dislikes you and doesn't do anything to you?" Naturally, it is necessary to respond first. ”
"What's the point?"
Li Xuezhu sighed: "For example, if I make a mistake, my wife beats me and scolds me, because I am her own child, others will only say that she is strict but will not say that she treats me poorly." You're different, even if she says you're more serious, I'm afraid the aunts will say that she is mean and intolerable. ”
Li Jingqiu suddenly felt that his head was big, but it made sense to think about it, and he had no idea for a while: "That,...... Now what? ”
"If you really want to be on good terms with her for a long time, you can't rush this matter."
Li Jingqiu nodded: "I listen to you." ”
While the sisters and brothers were talking, they suddenly saw Li Jingqiu's little servant Zhang Xiaoshun hurriedly running in, saluting the two and saying, "Miss, young master, Guan Xiaoduo is here." ”
When Li Jingqiu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Why is she here?" Where are the people? ”
Zhang Xiaoshun had a sad face: "I came with Mrs. Wang, and when I entered the door, I went straight to the old lady's house in the back house." At this time, she chatted happily with the old lady, and just now she shook the dice for a while, and somehow she opened up the incense and worshipped the handle! The little ones don't dare to stop them, so let's take a look! ”
Li Jingqiu said: "Stick to your grandfather and stick incense? Hahaha, fun and interesting! ”
Li Xuezhu said angrily: "How can two outsiders break into the old lady's house?" Are you all dead?! ”
Zhang Xiaoshun said aggrievedly: "She was holding a wedding sticker in her hand, saying that the second young grandmother who had not passed through the door wanted to meet our parents, and the younger ones didn't dare to stop her." ”
Seeing Li Xuezhu's solemn expression, Li Jingqiu hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Sister, you don't know, this chick is not only beautiful, but also very interesting to talk and do, and has a bold temperament!" Grandpa definitely liked her. ”
Li Xuezhu felt that this girl's road was a bit evil, and she was not practical for a while.
Li Jingqiu looked excited: "Let's go, sister, let's take a look!" ”
Speaking of the old lady of the Li family, I think it was also a legend back then. When he was a teenager, he was addicted to gambling money and lost his family business. Now that I'm a little older, my brain is not very good, and I am clear and confused for a while, most of the time like a seven or eight-year-old child.
The Li sisters and brothers followed Xiaoshun and hurried to the back house, and they saw from afar that the old lady lived in the courtyard surrounded by a bunch of maids watching the excitement.
When they got closer, they saw that there was indeed a Zhang Xiang case in the courtyard, Guan Xiaoduo and the old lady Li Jianzhang were kneeling side by side in front of the statue of Guan Gong, and said loudly and solemnly:
"I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and ...... same month of the same year."
When Li Jianzhang, who was full of silver hair, heard this, Zhengse interrupted: "Girl! I'm stupid, you're stupid, aren't you? How old am I and how old are you? How much you will suffer if you die on the same day as me! ”
"That's right." Guan Xiaoduo nodded seriously, and changed his words: "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, nor do I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!" ”
Li Jianzhang said again: "Then what kind of brother do you worship!" To each his own way. ”
Guan Xiaoduo said angrily: "Why do you talk so much! In the end, I don't worship or not! ”
Seeing this, Li Jianzhang immediately smiled and said, "Bye, bye!" I didn't say no. ”
"Then shut up! Kowtow! ”
Li Jianzhang obediently closed his mouth, and obediently followed her to kowtow to Guan Erye: one, two, three, Licheng.
Wang Po stood on the side with a blue face and watched, and all the maids and maids gathered on the side, covering their mouths and snickering.
Li Xuezhu stepped forward and waved his hand: "You are all idle and have nothing to do, right?" Scattered, scattered! The old lady is confused, you don't stop it, and you still have the face to watch the excitement here? ”
Then the people dispersed.
Guan Xiaoduo stood up from the futon, stretched out her hand to help Master Li get up: "Okay!" I'll call you big brother from now on! ”
"Good, good!"
Li Jingqiu also felt funny when he saw it, and stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, which one is singing today?" ”
Li Jianzhang's face sank: "Righteous knot Jinlan!" You see, this is my newly recognized sister Guan Xiaoduo. ”
- Righteousness, sister.
When he heard these two words, the corners of Li Jingqiu's mouth twitched, and he felt that the whole person was not good.
"It's you." Guan Xiaoduo looked at him happily: "You are Li Jingqiu?" ”
"That's right."
Li Jianzhang asked, "Do you know this grandson?" ”
Guan Xiaoduo nodded: "I've seen it, but I'm not familiar with it." ”
Li Jianzhang shook his head when he heard this: "Shake the dice out of the old man, and if you lose the pai gow, you will turn your face and beat people - the cards see the character!" This grandson can't do it, don't play with him. ”
Li Jingqiu was unhappy: "Huh? Grandpa, how do you talk about this? Who can't afford to lose? Have I ever lost?! ”
Li Jianzhang turned his back and whispered mysteriously to Guan Xiaoduo: "As soon as you lose the card, you can turn your face and play Lai, you can avoid him." ”
"Uh-huh."
Li Jingqiu said angrily: "I heard it all!" ”
Li Xuezhu stepped forward with a black line on his face and persuaded: "Grandpa, what's going on?" ”
When Li Jianzhang saw that it was her, his expression immediately changed, and he smiled and pulled Guan Xiaoduo to introduce: "Duo'er, this is my eldest granddaughter!" The person is beautiful, and the work is exquisite, and he is called ...... What's it called? ”
"My name is Li Xuezhu."
The two saluted each other, and saw that Li Jianzhang seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his head suddenly: "Grandson!" Come and kowtow to your new aunt! ”
Li Jingqiu: "......"
Li Xuezhu coaxed: "Okay, grandpa, don't make trouble!" Go back to the house and rest, we have business to talk about. ”
"Cheng, then you guys talk."
Li Jianzhang was refreshed, paced with his hands behind his back, hummed a little song and turned back to his house.
Guan Xiaoduo glanced at the two of them: "First of all, I didn't mean to take advantage of you!" I came to this old man for comment, but he didn't say a word, pulled me and shook the dice, saying that if he lost, he had to bow to him! I, I don't want to lose......"
Li Jingqiu glared and said angrily: "You are cheap and good!" ”
Li Xuezhu waved his hand and smiled: "The old man is so lively, he has to bet twice on anyone who catches him, the girl is not strange." ”
Guan Xiaoduo sighed and said to Li Xuezhu: "You are quite reasonable. ”
As he spoke, Guan Xiaoduo took out the big red wedding sticker: "Although we poor people are not as powerful as your family, we are far from the point of selling our sons and daughters. You're too bullying, aren't you? ”
Li Jingqiu said unhappily: "Why do you say it is so ugly? How is it 'sold'? ”
When Guan Xiaoduo heard this, she said coldly: "If my brother holds such a letter of appointment, beats the gong and drums to give the gift, and tells you, 'You keep the money, I want to marry your sister as a little wife' - can you be happy?" ”
Seeing this, Li Xuezhu stopped: "This matter is not our fault, don't be angry, girl." My brother is young and ignorant......"
Li Jingqiu has been arrogant and stubborn, domineering and domineering since he was a child, where have he ever heard such harsh words? Li Xuezhu was only halfway through his words, when he saw that Li Jingqiu couldn't suppress the fire, he said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about?! You have to know how many girls are rushing to post upside down, and I don't even look at it! I kindly sent someone to the door to ask for a kiss, but you provoked it? …… Oh, you go out to inquire, who else dares to worry about the person I have a crush on? Now that the whole town of Furong knows that I gave you a dowry, who else wants you? Don't be ashamed! ”
One sentence talked about the sky to death, Li Xuezhu's heart sank: It's over, I'm afraid it's going to break.
Li Jingqiu has always spoken hard. When he was fourteen years old, he took a group of stunned half-sized children to the casino, and when he encountered a person who kicked the field, picked quarrels and provoked troubles, he dared to chop people's hands when he picked up a knife, and he was even more famous for his ruthlessness when he got into a fight.
The 'Second Yama King' is not a waste of fame, relying on the old man's spoiling, if he makes a fool, anyone will dare to fight - unless it is in front of the eldest brother, he will be honest. Among the children of the Li family's Jingzi generation, the eldest son Li Jingling has the most legacy of the old lady: a bold and heroic temperament, capable and righteous, I heard that he also worshipped the bandit head in the nearby mountains. Later, he married a wife and became a family, and his temperament was much more restrained, so he went to the provincial capital with Master Li to take a career in office.
Li Jingqiu has admired his eldest brother since he was a child, and hopes to become a person like him, but the number of paths is completely different: Li Jingling is reasonable and reasonable, and convinces people with virtue; Li Jingqiu is domineering - he is the truth, if you are not convinced, you will be convinced.
Guan Xiaoduo said coldly: "Since it's all said about this, it's not negotiable?" ”
