Chapter 5 Do You Take Medicine?
Guan Hua picked up the tea bowl in his hand and took a look: there were a few crumpled tea stalks floating in the cold well water, pretending to be a cup of grievance, which looked very miserable.
Guan Xiaoduo answered lightly: "There is no firewood at home." ”
Guan Hua: "Then you go to Aunt Zhao next door to borrow some and come back first." - How do you drink this cold? ”
"Just drink it!"
Guan Hua sank his face and put the teacup on the table: "Can't we even drink hot tea now?" Boil water to go! ”
Guan Xiaoduo snorted viciously, but after all, she still listened to her brother's words, turned around and left.
When she walked away, Guan Hua slowly spoke again: "This family business, if it is consensual, I don't have anything to say." ”
Wang Po: "Sure enough, you are still reasonable." ”
Guan Hua: "What you just said, is it Li Jingqiu, the second son of the Li family?" ”
Wang Po: "It's him." ”
Guan Hua: "How did I hear that the second young master of the Li family had already been married?" It seems to be the daughter of the family of Lord Yan, the head of the household department in the capital? ”
Wang Po: "That's right, that's the case. The two families are world friends, and they are set to be doll relatives. It's just that Miss Yan is still young, and she won't get married until a few years later. ”
Guan Hua was puzzled: "Then, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Ahem."
Wang Po shook her handkerchief a little embarrassed, and said, "It stands to reason that this is not the right family because it can't be married." Isn't it like that the second young master likes your girl! What does Madame mean, so she will accept the room first and be an aunt. Although it is a partial room, Miss Yan has not passed the door yet, so she will treat your Xiaoduo according to the etiquette of the main room, and the dowry and dowry banquet will not treat you badly. ”
Guan Hua: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”
Wang Po: "I know that you are just a sister, and the daughter of a poor family is also raised by a baby with a heart." In fact, the main house is not bad! The second young master of the Li family is a concubine, and he was also born to his aunt, so what? It's still the same! is young, talented and good-looking, so many of the Li family's business shops are all in his hands, and the silver that passes through every day is like running water! Go back and marry Xiaoduo, make sure to eat and drink spicy! If you can give birth to a son and a half daughter, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth! ”
Guan Hua: "I still have to ask my mother about this matter first, I really can't do it." ”
These words were clearly heard by Guan Xiaoduo, who was under the window by the cat outside.
- What the hell is the second young master of the Li family as a concubine? I'm going to your grandma's legs!
Guan Xiaoduo is looking at the dowry piled up all over the yard at this time, and he really wants to smash all the fire to him! However, as soon as I reached out and picked up the broom, I thought again: It's so annoying! No, this has to be thrown back in their faces!
But with so many things, she couldn't move them alone, so she had to hire a car first, and then find two people to help load the car...... Hemp sells batches, so don't you have to put money into the old paper?
Guan Xiaoduo was looking at the dowry in a daze with a broom, and saw Guan Hua walking out of the house at this time: "I'll go to Fuxing Town and bring my mother back to discuss this matter." You stay at home honestly, don't make trouble for me. ”
"Oh."
Guan Xiaoduo listened, and the surface was silent, but the little brain melon immediately started to run rapidly-oh, I have a bold idea.
Guan Hua's expression was slightly solemn, and he went back to the house to get a coat, and walked out while wearing it.
Guan Xiaoduo followed two steps, stretched his neck and said tentatively: "Then, will you come back for dinner at noon?" ”
Guan Hua: "No. ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "What about that night?" ”
Guan Hua: "I can't get to the evening, maybe I'll be back in the afternoon." ”
Fifty miles from Furong Town to Fuxing Town, take a car back and forth, not to mention more than two hours; Thirty miles to Ping'an Town, and there is a shortcut, if it is fast, it will take an hour...... Guan Xiaoduo narrowed her eyes, and the little abacus in her heart snapped.
Guan Hua watched her grow up, and when she swept her eyes, she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help frowning: "You stay honest with me at home, do you hear?" ”
Guan Xiaoduo nodded vigorously with a serious face: "I won't go to Ping'an Town to settle accounts with the second child of the Li family." ”
Guan Hua: "......"
Guan Xiaoduo hurriedly added: "If you don't go, you won't go." ”
Guan Hua repeated in an accentuated tone: "Stay at home honestly!" ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "Don't worry! ”
- Don't worry, fart!
Guan Hua looked helpless, and persuaded again: "You don't have to worry about this, there is a mother and brother, as long as you are not happy, no one can force you." ”
Guan Xiaoduo: "Understood! ”
Never mind.
Guan Hua knew that this dead girl had made up her mind, and it was useless to say anything, so she had to sigh and go out first to find the beauty of the knife.
Guan Xiaoduo stared at his back and walked out of the alley and disappeared, only then did he turn around and close the courtyard door with a bang, startling Wang Po, who was about to leave:
"Why, what?"
Guan Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Auntie, how about discussing something?" ”
Wang Po suddenly felt a chill rise in her back.
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
Ping'an Town, the old house of the Li family.
Li Jingqiu rarely didn't go out today, he stayed in the house alone, holding a box of big hawthorn pills bought from Furong Town in his arms, and filled his mouth with a smirk.
Li Xuezhu, the eldest lady of the Li family, came in from outside, and when she saw him like this, she sighed and said: "Fang Cai Shunzi came to tell me that you locked yourself in the house and took drugs, which scared me, and what should be wrong." ”
Li Jingqiu saw that it was her, and stood up with a smile: "Sister, do you want to take medicine?" ”
“…… Don't eat. ”
Li Xuezhu's expression twitched, and he glanced at the wax paper wrapped in pills all over the ground, as well as the smell of hawthorn pills in a room, and couldn't help frowning: "Hawthorn pills are a good thing, but you can't eat them like this." ”
Li Jingqiu didn't answer either, chewed the hawthorn pill with a smirk and sat back in the chair: "Sister, I met someone." ”
Li Xuezhu only felt angry and funny: "It's a girl, right?" ”
"Hmm."
Li Xuezhu sat down across from him and asked, "Tell me about it." ”
Li Jingqiu recalled that day in Furong Town, when Guan Xiaoduo was sitting on the side of the street rubbing pills. When I thought of marrying a beautiful woman home, I felt a burst of beauty in my heart:
"Her name is Guan Xiaoduo. It looks good anywhere, and it looks good, and it looks good...... Eh, in short, it's very good, and you'll definitely like her when you see her! ”
Li Jingqiu has not been a reading material since he was a child, and now he racked his brains for a long time and didn't come up with any good words, so he had to give up.
Li Xuezhu looked at his expression and guessed, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect it!" The second young master of our Li family is just beginning to fall in love, and he can still have the effect of healthy food and appetizing, which is very good. ”
"You're making fun of me again."
In addition to the wife of the main room, Li Wanchun, the eldest lord of the Li family, also has a three-room concubine room. Except for the eldest daughter Li Xuezhu is from the front, the other three young masters and a young lady are all from the house. Now the lord is an official in the provincial capital, the eldest son Li Jingling and the most favored fourth aunt live in the provincial capital, and the others are still staying in the old house of the Li family in Ping'an Town.
Although Li Jingqiu is young and usually behaves like a gentleman, he is very good at running the family business. In a few years, the casino was opened from one to three, and the pawnshop and loan shark business were even more prosperous, and the Li family's business was all under his control.
Li Jingqiu is outside, and although it should be the lady of the main room who has the final say, this Mrs. Bai usually doesn't take care of things, she eats fasting and recites Buddha, and all the trivial matters at home are taken care of by Li Xuezhu. Although this eldest lady is young, she is naturally smart and dexterous, and she has a good hand in calculating, speaking and doing everything thoughtfully, and keeps the old house of the Li family of more than 100 people in good order.
Li Xuezhu: "Let me ask you, why did you pay two thousand taels of silver from the account last night?" ”
Li Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "That." …… Useful. ”
Li Xuezhu: "I don't mean to care about your spending. Usually you make money out of the cabinet and keep a record of it in and out of your own account, even if you spend it like running water, I can't ask. But thou shalt pay money out of thy house, and the accounts of thy house shall be in my possession, and I shall inquire about the sum of the money. ”
"I said hello to my wife."
Li Jingqiu looked a little reluctant, but still said truthfully: "I thought she told you." Be...... entrusted a matchmaker to Guan Xiaoduo for a dowry. ”
Li Xuezhu exclaimed: "The next dowry? ”
Li Jingqiu nodded: "Mrs. said that our family had been engaged to the Yan family before, and this matter could not be moved; But I really like Guan Xiaoduo, so I want to marry her! The wife said that it didn't matter, their family was small, so just send a matchmaker to make some money and quietly collect the house, and it was not a big deal to hide it from the master first. ”
Li Xuezhu's face was full of shock, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.
Don't look at Li Jingqiu's beauty on the road at a young age, how do you know the intrigue in this mansion? Everyone says that Mrs. is a kind-hearted Buddha, easy-going and undisputed, unlike those aunts who know that they are scheming and fighting for fame and fortune, and they can't stop all day long.
Only Li Xuezhu knows what his mother thinks in her heart - the old man is a ruthless person, so he knows how to marry his family room by room; The aunts are all faceless little women, all of whom are counting on giving birth to sons to climb up; Those little sinners should not be born and are short-lived ghosts...... Except for Li Xuezhu, the pearl in her palm, she doesn't care about the life or death of others. Even if the old mansion of the Li family is turned upside down, she will only watch the jokes on the side.
Fortunately, the old house of the Li family is big enough, and the women usually go their separate ways, and they are less angry when they see each other, and they are just a harmonious group on the surface.
Li Xuezhu is the eldest sister in the family, she is beautiful and knowledgeable, she has a gentle temperament, and the whole family likes her from top to bottom, even the second ancestor who is afraid of people is very close to her.
But Li Jingqiu didn't understand the matter of the dowry, but Li Xuezhu felt that it was inappropriate: he would directly give the dowry without greeting, not to mention that it was not polite, even if Guan Xiaoduo's family agreed, quietly married into the door and made a side room, and when it came time to marry Miss Yan's family, if people were to pick on it, I was afraid that it would be inevitable to have a storm at that time.
Li Jingqiu's biological mother, the fourth aunt, is now in the provincial capital, and he has no other elders to discuss in front of him, so he can only go to his wife. But this lady who is the main house, if she doesn't stop such a bastard, she still helps him mess around? It's really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Li Xuezhu sighed in his heart and said, "This is not appropriate. ”
